The article “Where will YOU Spend Eternity” was originally published on or about 13 April 2004. It was refreshed in 2019 and was revised in January 2024. It addresses a most important topic – how to truly walk with the Almighty and qualify for a High Throne for Eternity. The Final Quest by Rick Joyner is arguably the most important writing published in recent centuries and is arguably more important than virtually all of the Bible.
This article formed the basis of 14 broadcasts on www.W4CY.com Radio and www.Talk4TV.com TV between 19th January and 19th April 2024. These broadcasts amplified and elaborated the original article in considerable detail.
Those broadcasts have now been transcribed and are collated below together with links to the individual broadcasts. This document is section 2 of 3 sections.

Summary
I have recently become acutely aware of the reality that very few people have deep experience of the Anointing, let alone understand it. For example, the TV drama “The Chosen” which is all about Yahooshua and his 12 Chosen Ones {Disciples} completely misses the point as far as the Anointing is concerned.

Body of the Article
2024.02.04 Be aware of the possibility of the supernatural in YOU and through YOU
The Anointing – What is it? – Why seek it? – How does it manifest? – Be aware of the possibility of the supernatural in YOU and through YOU.
I have recently become acutely aware of the reality that very few people have deep experience of the Anointing, let alone understand it. For example, the TV drama “The Chosen” which is all about Yahooshua and his 12 Chosen Ones {Disciples} completely misses the point as far as the Anointing is concerned.
I write fairly regularly about the Anointing but it has occurred to me that I have been assuming that readers know what I am talking about.
See particularly “2021.01.10 A challenge for YOU to seek a POWER Anointing and Ministry” at https://www.etimin.org/challenge-for-you-to-seek-a-power-anointing.
And “2022.09.04 Things that Destroy the Anointing” at https://www.etimin.org/things-that-destroy-the-anointing.
Folks, fundamentally, relationship with the Creator is about coming to a place where you're filled with His spirit and that you're walking closely with Him. Anything less than that is a compromise, you're just missing out on something that is so powerful and so beautiful. I'm going to seek in the next 20 minutes or so just set out what the anointing is, why you should seek it, and how it manifests.
So:
What IS the Anointing?
The Anointing is the infilling of a true Believer who has requested it with the Set-Apart Spirit of the Almighty.
The Anointing MAY be imparted on immersion {baptism}. But notice that baptism by dabbing is not baptism. The rite that was applied by Yahoochanan, the immerser, John the Baptist, was complete submersion in water, complete immersion in clean water.
The anointing MAY be imparted at any time by requesting infilling. Father Yah in the name of Yahooshua I ask you to fill me with your spirit.
It grows the more one worships and spends time with Father.
Anointing comes from the word, the Hebrew word Mashach, which means to smear with oil. In the Middle East where it's hot and dry, they smear themselves with oil to reduce the perspiration. Anointing is the impartation of the Spirit of Yah. As I said a minute ago, you can go to Him right now and say "Father, I desire to be filled with your spirit." You can go and immerse yourself at your earliest convenience anywhere where you can get clean water, a swimming pool, a river, a lake, a dam, even the tube in your home. "Father, I ask you to cleanse me of all unrighteousness. I ask you to cleanse me of my sin." Just ask Him to fill you. It's not a big thing. It's in a sense of form of a marriage with Him. It's about just opening yourself up to Him, leading Him to come and live in you.
The anointing can be destroyed by anger, fear, betrayal, a divided house and any other occurrence that has Satanic and/or Demonic connections.
It can wane if one ceases to worship and spend time with Father.
I can be lost if one joins sexually to another who is not similarly anointed.
It can be destroyed by major sin and particularly by repeated wilful sin.
The Anointing is a precious Jewel, a Pearl of Great Price to be treasured and nurtured.
Notice that I said that anger, fear, betrayal, a divided house, are all from the Satanic and Demonic realm. If you're going to run around shouting and screaming at people, you're going to damp down and ultimately destroy the anointing. Father can't exist. The Set-Apart Spirit, which is the anointing is the portion of Father's spirit that He gives to each one of us who believe is His investment in us, if I can put it that way.
So initially when somebody comes to belief, they get a betrothal portion, and then they come to full belief and deep relationship with Father and they get filled with His spirit. This is distinct from the universal Spirit of Yah, which holds the entire universe together. If Yah were to withdraw His universal spirit from the Earth, everything would die. He holds it all together. The Set-Apart Spirit, the Holy Spirit is distinct from that. It's part of Yah's spirit that He gives to you and you only if you come to Him and ask for it.
See the article “Seven Components in Growing Close to Yah” at https://www.etimin.org/home/7-components-in-growing-close-to-yah for a detailed discussion of the actions that will enable you to draw close to Yah.
The Anointing can be boosted at the right time by asking Father to impart an Anointing comparable to that of a servant of Yah that you esteem, either modern or ancient – Yahooshua is the best example. So you could pray “Father Yah, I desire to know you the way that Yahooshua knew you.” Only pray this once you have progressed to a significant level of relationship with Yah.
I had an experience about 9 months after I came back to serving Father in 1993 where I had a dramatic encounter with Him where He spoke to me audibly and I rededicated my life to Him, I started going to church on Sundays and middle of the week and spending an hour on my knees praying morning and evening and an hour reading the Bible morning and evening end listening to worship songs in the car and teachings and so forth. And I really set myself apart in a dramatic fashion for 9 months. At the end of that I read a book by a chap by the name of Benny Hinn, you may have heard of him, there are different opinions about him today, but he was really close to Father back then, we're talking December 1993. And he wrote a book "Good Morning Holy Spirit," which spoke about his encounter with the Spirit of Yah. I read the book, I couldn't put it down, and early about 3 o'clock in the morning of the January 2, 1994, I would lay on my bed saying "Father, I desire to know you the way Benny Hinn knows you." I must have prayed that, I don’t know, 10-20 times, and suddenly the room was filled with this mighty roar and this pressure came on me and I was filled with His spirit. I woke up the next morning able to heal people, able to speak on His behalf. I want that for you. That's what this particular segment is about.
Why should YOU seek the Anointing?
You should seek the Anointing IF you are truly committed to serving Yah and desire to get as close to Him as possible.
If you desire to have a material impact on the Earth you should seek the Anointing.
Be aware of the possibility of the supernatural in YOU and through YOU – this is available to YOU IF you seek it earnestly.
If you desire supernatural wisdom, led by the Spirit of Yah, supernatural favour with people, supernatural energy, the ability to heal others, the ability to do great works, things that you have read about in the Bible and elsewhere, etcetera – YOU should seek the Anointing!
If you look at what's going on in the world today, if you read the news and say "Oh, my goodness, it's such a mess. Where is this all going to end up?" Well, the answer to that is you can either sit back and keep bemoaning the situational or you can go to Father and say "Father, I dedicate my life to you. I ask you to fill me with your spirit. I ask you to equip me and empower me to make a difference on Earth." And He will meet you where you are. It may take you a year, two years, three years to get really close to Him. The article Seven Components of Drawing Close to Yah (an e-book of about 70 pages) will give you a whole lot of guidance on what to do, but at the end of the day, it's up to you.
How does the Anointing Manifest?
The manifestation of the Anointing is specific to each individual and their specific relationship with Yah. It can include but is not limited to and in no particular order: I'm going to give you a list of things and talk a little bit about each one of them. This is what can happen through you if you're filled with the Spirit of Yah and you seek to be led by Him. As I said, in no particular order and not necessarily a complete list:
a. Supernatural wisdom – answers to every question. You know about things that you don’t know about. Somebody can come to you with some problem and before you know where it is, out of your mouth are coming stuff that you didn’t know.
b. Utterance without preparation – go into a meeting of any sort, ranging from a ministry discussion to a business consultation to a legal matter with no preparation and yet speak with wisdom and authority and have answers to every question including relating to things that you have no prior knowledge of. That’s a variation of the previous point. I don’t prepare for meetings. I go into meetings and I trust Father to give me utterance; it doesn’t matter what it is, I get it lot covered because I'm not constantly trying to figure things out on my own.
c. Supernatural boldness and confidence – NOT pride.
The assurance that you have Father's backing you and you're going to a meeting and you speak confidently and boldly.
d. Increasing dialogue with Yah – Please understand you need to spend significant time in prayer. You need to spend significant time reading about Yah, not just the Bible but anointed books, there is plenty on my website and worshiping, praising Him, couple of hours a day, listen to worship songs and sing along with them when you're in your car or on the bus or on the train, put little earbuds and I have a little MP3 player that goes with me wherever I am and it plays through the night so that He has something to soothe Him.
You hear Him increasingly clearly and are increasingly able to engage in dialogue with Him regarding your relationship with Him, His Ways and Will on the Earth, your work, your family, your hobbies, your ministry, etcetera. He desires to be included in EVERY facet of your life.
e. Led by the Spirit of Yah in every aspect of your life – things just come together in ways that you could not anticipate, you meet people who can help you who seem to appear from nowhere, Divine Appointments become a routine part of your life. You have a clear view of where you are going and what your life purpose is, etcetera.
f. Supernatural favour with people – everyone you deal with is friendly and helpful. I can't remember when I last encountered a fractious or unhelpful person. I just experience moving through life and things just come together most of the time. Sometimes I slip a bit, but it's powerful folks, it's a different way of living.
g. Supernatural energy – you have boundless energy, you only need three or four hours sleep and you awake refreshed and full of energy for the day. When I was walking under the fullness of my first anointing, I would work until 2 o'clock at night, go to bed for a few hours, get up at 5, pray, worship and so forth. I met a lady many years ago who is highly anointed, she operated on 2 to 3 hours' sleep a night, day in and day out, week in and week out; just had abundant energy.
h. Supernatural peace – you have great confidence that Yah is watching over you and that nothing bad will happen to you and that you have a clear direction.
i. Supernatural protection – you are absolutely confident that you have Messengers {Angels} encamped around you to protect you. In the unlikely event that you DO have a motor vehicle or other accident you emerge unscathed; your messengers protect you.
j. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
k. Every tongue that rises against you in unrighteous judgment is refuted. I've been helping a chap in Los Angeles recently and a chap stole money from him and was threatening him and I came and took him away. I had a motorcar accident many years ago, I was driving a bit recklessly, mountain road, late for catching a plane, came around the corner, mud on the road, casted sideways, there was a ridge, it should have just turned and somersaulted down the hill, but instead I cried out to Father and His messengers took the car and just gently placed it at the bottom of the hill. My diary was open with my pen on it, on the passenger, it didn’t even move. I was completely unshaken. I got out, took my briefcase, climbed up on to the road and there was a vehicle that gave me a lift to the police station and I was going to see a senior and they gave me a police escort and they radioed ahead and held the plane for me and I got to my meeting on time. So it's possible folks.
l. Supernatural joy – nothing gets you down, you are joyful in the knowledge of your relationship with Yah.
m. Supernatural health – nothing affects your health detrimentally.
n. The ability to heal others – you lay hands on people and speak the will of Yah in their lives and they are instantly healed.
o. You KNOW the Will of Yah in your life and, as you mature, you know His will on Earth and you pray it into existence.
I have a lady friend who is just permanently joyful. She loves Yah and she wakes up in the morning and says good morning Yah and goes through the day, bubbling with positivity. There is so much wrong on the Earth but do you know what Yah actually wants done on the Earth?
I've had a couple of experiences where I've asked Yah what He wants to happen in specific situations. One was an election some years ago. And He said I want this one to win the election and remember that He can do nothing unless it is first spoken into reality by a human being, a live human being. So I got on my knees and I said "Father, I'm asking you to make this man president of this country." There was some supernatural intervention in the election process. He scraped in and became the president. And Father said to me, "It's not that I think he is a great guy. He is just going to cause more people to turn to me."
p. You are given messages to others and their response demonstrates the accuracy of your message. I've had experiences where I've gone up to a person and said, the Almighty says such and such and in one case they just stick with me. I gave the message to a woman, she cried out to her husband, "This man has got the word that we have been waiting for." It's so encouraging, it's so lifting.
q. In an advanced level it is possible for Yah to speak through you using your vocal chords.
I had one experience, I was really walking in a powerful anointing and Yah spoke through me to one man for about 20 minutes. I had no control other than shutting my mouth. And then the next man and the next man and the next man and then myself. So for about two or three hours, Yah just spoke through me and things came out of my mouth that I had absolutely no knowledge of and no way of knowing.
r. The ability to do great works – when you reach an advanced level of maturity, probably the consequence of at least one forty-day water only fast, you are able to raise the dead, walk on water, calm storms, translate (move instantaneously from one location to another) and do other great works.
s. At an advanced level if you are bitten by venomous snakes, stung by venomous scorpions or tricked or forced into drinking poison none of these things will in any way harm you.
t. You are able to do other things that you have read about in the Bible and other ancient texts and in modern texts.
In short, you become a powerhouse on Earth in the service of Yah!
What is in it for you?
Consider the above manifestations – is THAT something you desire to do? Would you like to have supernatural wisdom? Would you like everything to go smoothly in your life?
Would you like to be able to make a difference in the world, speak wisdom and Yah's words into society, into government, into business? You can make a difference on the Earth, in society locally and as you progress nationally and internationally.
The woman that I mentioned earlier, when I met her, had raised 19 people from the dead. She had on one occasion being delayed for a gathering of believers. She phone the head to say she would be two hours late. As she drove, she drove into a mist and few minutes later she drove out of the mist and she was at her destination. So she had travelled a 2-hour journey in about 5 or 10 minutes. And on occasion she was called in to speak to presidents, to speak to government groupings because they recognized that the Almighty was speaking through her and they wanted guidance.
Folks, that’s available to you if you decide you want it enough that you're prepared to change the way you live your life. Pray significantly daily. Worship significantly daily. Read about Yah significantly daily. Change your mental position and get filled with His spirit.
You WILL have to make sacrifices and focus on Yah rather than on worldly matters, but it WILL mean that you qualify for a significant position in Heaven after your death provided that you use the above gifts to the benefit of Yah’s Kingdom. See “Where are YOU headed?” at https://www.etimin.org/where-are-you-going.
Conclusion
The above briefly lists most of the points that I consider significant with regard to the Anointing.
I challenge you to seek a Power Anointing and draw close to Yah so that YOU can make a difference on the Earth.
As I said, the anointing is a precious jewel. At the time that I was first powerfully anointed, church didn’t recognize me. I didn't really understand what was happening to me. I went through a brutal divorce, I lost my anointing. Over the years that followed, I made a number of other mistakes and lost the anointing repeatedly. Once you've lost a particular anointing, you can't get it back. So I don't walk in that sort of anointing. I have an anointing for wisdom. I've an anointing for utterance. I've an anointing for writing, but I don't have the anointing for healing and things like that, which is sad because if I knew at the beginning of 1994 what I know today, I would have done a lot of things very differently back then, but I didn’t. I'm available to help you seek a power anointing and to help you to preserve it and nurture it and look after it. You've got my email address, James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org, please email me and I will be happy to help you. There is a wealth of information on the www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org.
So that’s the end of that piece, we're going to pick up where we left off last week.
2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest – Third Edition – Part 5
- What Indicators are there about Pleasing The Almighty?
I've made quite a lot of reference to the Bible in this particular piece, so I'm just going to carry on there, all my references are to the King James version of the Bible with names, etc., where there are translation errors corrected.
Colossians 1:18-20 states the following about Yahooshua:
"18 And he is the head of the body, the assembly {church}: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his stake {cross}, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in Earth, or things in Heaven." (KJV)
Yahooshua is the FIRSTBORN from the dead.
Yahooshua is THE example of how a person can Overcome in this life in order to triumph, please the Almighty and sit on the HIGHEST throne next to the Almighty for Eternity.
Assembly, not church, church is a meaningless English word. Cross is a pagan symbol, he died on a stake, length of tree. So it's important to put Yahooshua in the right place in your mind.
Yahooshua is therefore THE example to follow. He has gone before and he has shown us how it can be done.
There is a whole lot of wrong thinking about Yahooshua is the way as he is some sort of portal into Heaven. No! He is the example. He showed us how we should live our lives, what we should do, spending time with Father, doing good works, etc. Yahooshua became the firstborn from the dead by suffering and DYING voluntarily despite having NEVER committed ANY sin as stated in Hebrews 4:15-16:
"15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (KJV)
So Yahooshua WAS tempted in ALL points like we are and yet he was able to do so without sinning.
Folks, this is so important to understand. One of the biggest things, if not the biggest thing that Yahooshua accomplished was that he lived for 33-1/2 years without committing a single sin. You may say, well, that’s amazing, that's impossible. Well, if you're filled with the spirit like I've just been talking, you can live a life without sin too. Father through His spirit in you will keep you from sinning, keep you from doing wrong. So you need to get clear on who Yahooshua is. He is not God. He is separate created being. He lived a life free of sin and because of that, death had no place for him.
In considering this point, it is really important to recognise that Yahooshua was a created being, the result of a creative miracle, and he lived life ENTIRELY as a human being.
The ONLY divinity in Yahooshua was the anointing of the set apart {Holy} Spirit of Yah that came upon Yahooshua when Yahoochanan {John} immersed him, the “Christ.” Christ means anointing of the Spirit of Yah or one anointed with the Spirit of Yah, depending on context. There is about three different Greek words all translated Christ.
Matthew 3:16 "And Yahooshua {Jesus}, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the Heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of Yah descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:" (KJV, adjusted)
It's important to understand that Yahooshua lived first 30 years of his life without an anointing, without the infilling of the Spirit of Yah. The Spirit of Yah came upon him, when he was immersed in the Jordan by Yahoochanan at the age of approximately 30. It's so important. One of the sad things about the drama "The Chosen" is that they don't go into this, they don’t depict it, they don’t depict Yahooshua going into the wilderness for 40 days and fasting, and that is so central to who Yahooshua was and what Yahooshua accomplished. And it's important to realize if Yahooshua was God the whole thing was a hoax. He couldn’t have been God.
Yahooshua also repeatedly went apart to pray to the Almighty. Mark 6:46 "And when he [Yahooshua] had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray." (KJV)
Clearly, Yahooshua is not the Almighty, if he was he would not need to pray to the Almighty and he would not have said what he said in Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My Beloved Mighty One , my Beloved Mighty One , why hast thou forsaken me?" (KJV, adjusted)
Yah had to take his spirit away from Yahooshua when he was on the stake because he couldn't have died with the full anointing that he had and the Spirit of Yah in him.
It is therefore POSSIBLE that we can aspire to live life to the standard that Yahooshua set. We may not succeed. However, we CAN aspire.
Remember that Yahooshua said "I go to my father so that you can do greater works than I did." So anything that Yahooshua did, it is possible for you to come to a level of anointing and level of relationship with Yah that you can raise the dead, heal the sick, heal the lepers, open blind eyes, open deaf ears, release dumb tongues, walk on water, do mighty works. It's totally available to you if you will seek it. And "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani, My Beloved Mighty One," mostly translated "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me." But Eli is a term of endearment towards Yah, means my Beloved Mighty One, oh my darling.
After all, Yahooshua stated in John 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (KJV)
We CAN do GREATER works than Yahooshua did, IF we aspire to.
IF we are willing to pay the price!
We CAN Overcome to the end.
We CAN sit on High Thrones for Eternity.
IF we are willing to PAY the price.
A big if! I've touched on briefly earlier on this broadcast the sort of things you need to do – hours of praying. You will say "James, where am I going to find 2 hours a day to pray, 2 hours a day to read about Yah, 2 hours a day to worship, and then hold down my job, look after my family?" That’s why I said to you, if you get close to Yah, if you go all out for Yah, He will give you supernatural energy. You will only need 3 hours' sleep instead of 8 hours' sleep, so there you're, you scored the hours that you need. You will have to work upfront to get to that point, but He is there to meet you. He wants you to succeed. He wants to be part of your life. That's how you get to Him. You don't have to do this folks. You can just potter along doing whatever you're doing and be sort of desperately surprised when you get to the end of your life and Father says "Depart from me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you, and you never knew me."
Father wants a relationship with you. The only reason we exist is to have relationship with the Creator, that's why this whole thing is here, the universe, the solar system, the planets, the plants, the animals and us; we're here to have a relationship with Him.
- How do we Overcome? What is the Price?
In order to understand at some basic level what is required to Overcome and what the price is, we can consider all the people listed above with particular, but NOT exclusive, emphasis on Yahooshua.
In order to understand this and INTERPRET these experiences, reports, teachings, etc., there is a VERY important principle set out in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31: -- selected verses:
“19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
“20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not Yah made foolish the wisdom of this world?
“25 Because the foolishness of Yah is wiser than men; and the weakness of Yah is stronger than men.
“27 But Yah hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and Yah hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
It is really important to grasp that the Almighty's way of doing things is NOT the way of the world.
IF we desire to please the Almighty it is necessary that we be willing to live life VERY differently to the way we may have lived it up to now. In fact, it is probably accurate to say that there is no one on the Earth today who is truly living life the way the Almighty would like them to be living.
We know so little of the things of the Almighty today that there is an ENORMOUS amount for us to learn.
I've done a huge amount of learning after I came back to Father and He spoke to me in March '93. I really committed myself. I've spent tens of thousands of hours seeking to draw close to Him, praying, worshiping, reading, writing. I've written about 2,500 articles on the website. There is about 1,500 pages on the website, www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org. There is a huge amount of information there. It's all available to you and I encourage you to go for it.
Remember, the only reason the universe exists, the only reason that the solar system exists, the only reason that planet Earth exists, the only reason that the plants, the animals exist, the only reason that the human beings exist is because Father Yah was lonely and He wanted friends, He wanted people to talk to Him. If you're not making an effort to be His friend, then I've to ask you what's the point of your life? Why are you taking up space on the planet if you're not trying to become His friend? That’s the only reason that we are here, but almost nobody knows that and almost nobody is doing anything to get close enough to Him to become His friend, but it's there for you.
You pray right now "Father Yah, I want to become your friend." He will meet you where you are today, and He'll help you get there. Just say "Father, I ask you to help me to get there." Email me and I'll help you.

Body of the Article
2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest – Third Edition – Part 6
Continuing to look at “How do we Overcome? What is the Price?”
What follows highlights some important points.
In Matthew 6:19-21, Yahooshua states:
"19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon Earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (KJV)
This is referring to the same principles addressed previously.
What Yahooshua is saying here is there is really no point in laying up worldly wealth if you don't do things that benefit Yah. So I'm touching on those things in this broadcast, I'm touching things on the website, but basically what we're looking at is what are you doing to earn yourself a place of high esteem in Heaven. And if the answer to that is "I'm not sure or I don't think I'm," then you might want to rethink, because this is your opportunity to make a huge difference on the Earth.
We are advised to do works that will withstand the fire and that will result in being Overcomers on the Day of Judgment.
In considering this, it is important to consider that the very word "Overcomer" implies that there will be adversity and that it will not be easy.
The reward is so GREAT precisely because it is NOT easy.
So the world is dominated by Satanic and Demonic forces. Satanic being Messengers/Angels that followed Satan when he rebelled. Demonic being Demons/Ancestor Spirits/the spirits of human beings who did not serve Yah, who did not believe in Yah and who died on Earth as unbelievers and currently there is over 100 billion of those. So the world is crawling with demons, it's crawling with Satanic messengers – what are you doing to combat that? What are you doing to bring the Kingdom of Yah to Earth? What are you doing to bring joy to your Father in Heaven? What are you doing to change the status quo?
Right now there is a vanishingly small number of people who are truly close to Yah on the Earth today. There are not many more who at some modicum of serving Him. It's no more than few hundred thousand and perhaps another million or so who at some people believe in Him. And another chunk who believe but do nothing about it and end up in the Outer Darkness. So you might want to think about that.
It's important to recognize that the reward that Yahooshua received was so great precisely because it is NOT easy to live a life without sin, to please the Father, to do the Father's will ALL the time and then to DIE a terrible and agonizing death by CHOICE!
So, when Yahooshua tells us in Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, Mark 10:21 and Luke 14:27 that we should take up our stake {cross} and follow him, it is prudent to take his advice seriously.
When I refer to that, Yahooshua is seated on the right hand of the Father in Heaven. He is massively glorious and massively powerful. He can follow multiple conversations on Earth simultaneously. He can be in multiple locations on Earth simultaneously. He can do mighty works but he is constrained because like Yah, he has to work through human beings. So the question is will you be a human being through which Yah and Yahooshua can work? Or will you just potter along, doing whatever it is that you've been doing up till now and then be very very disappointed when you die, and you realize what you might have been?
Consider particularly MattihYahoo {Matthew} 16:24-27:
"24 Then said Yahooshua {Jesus} unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake {cross}, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." (KJV, adjusted)
This entire passage contains a number of very profound and very challenging statements.
In 1994 with a group of men in Malawi, Father spoke through me to each one of the four of us for about 20 minutes through my mouth and He called me to the death of the cross, I didn’t know about the stake in those days. But I've to tell you it's not fun. But I sincerely believe that there is a significant reward waiting for me when I die, if I can run the race to completion and not lose it. And that's there for you. There is nothing that I've done that you couldn't do, apart from sending Satan to the pit I guess. But you are able to qualify to sit on a high throne next to Yahooshua or close to Yahooshua or sit on a high throne if you put your back into it. If you do what's needed in order to qualify for that. It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, you can start today.
We are told to deny ourselves, take up OUR stake {cross} and FOLLOW (do like) Yahooshua. Follow has got a connotation that a lot of people miss. Do like Yahooshua. Live your life like Yahooshua. Get full of the Spirit of Yah and go out and do things on the Earth to change things on the Earth.
We are told that if we try and save our lives in a worldly way, we will lose our souls and we are told there is something we CAN give in exchange for our souls – the essence of what this message is about.
We are told that Yahooshua WILL come and we will all be rewarded ACCORDING to our works.
If one really considers deeply what this is saying, it is profoundly challenging.
Take up your stake {cross} and do like Yahooshua. Make a difference on the Earth. Right now, I suspect you might agree with me if I say that the world is in a pretty right mess and there is every indication that it is going to get a lot worse and there's really not much indication that it's ever going to get better. Father said to me some time ago that in 200 years if nothing changes, the world will be as dark as during the darkest times of the dark ages – wars, persecution, pogroms, inquisitions, wars, nuclear wars – are you happy for that to happen? Do you feel there is nothing you can do about it? I'm telling you there's something you can do about it and that’s what this message is about.
I have certainly come to understand increasingly that what I have understood about this passage and many of the others quoted in this document, was very shallow and that there is MUCH more that is expected of us.
The piece about "he who seeks to save his life shall lose it," I have found to be much more far reaching.
It applies to ANYTHING that we seek to hold onto in our own strength, our possessions, our family, ANYTHING that we try and force to remain with us rather than trusting the Almighty to either restore it to us or not, as He pleases.
Last week I did a bit of a detour and talked about the anointing and I talked about the manifestations of the anointing on somebody who's really got close to Father, talked about divine guidance, I talked about divine healing, I talked about divine wisdom and so many other attributes of one who is really close to Father and filled with His spirit. I made the point that is available to you. If you read the article on Seven Components of Drawing Close to Yah, if you do everything that I'm advising you to do, you can come to a place of deep connection with the Creator and great power and authority, such that you can change things. If you've ever heard of the Welsh Revival or the revival from Azusa Street or other major revivals, but those two in particular, it is available to you to impact the Earth greater than was the case with either of those two men.
Abraham sacrificing Isaac and Yahooshua laying down his life are two classic examples. Isaac was restored to Abraham and Yahooshua gained eternal life and the highest throne in Heaven next to the throne of the Almighty through his obedience.
In order to start seeking to better understand what is being referred to here, consider again Matthew 6:19-21 referred to above where Yahooshua advises us to "lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven."
This passage is preceded by Matthew 5:1-6:18 – selected verses
“1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the Earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see Yah.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of Yah.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law (Commandments), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and Earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (Commandments), till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.
So how do you want your life to pan out? Would you like to be called "great" in the Kingdom of Heaven? Or do you want to be least and there is another verse which says that people can do mighty works in the name of Yahooshua and they come before the judgment seat, they say Adonai Adonai, and He looks at them and says "Depart from me you workers of iniquity. I never knew you."
So if you're using the names God, the Lord, Jesus, the grace for those errors is long since gone. The Lord correctly is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, God is correctly the Almighty, Jesus is correctly Yahooshua, Y-A-H-O-O-S-H-U-A. Yah is salvation. If you're not using those correct names and you're worshiping Jesus and worshiping the Bible, you're going to have a really unpleasant shock when you get to Heaven, if only you can get there.
“39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain."
“44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”
Have you ever tried that? It's a challenge.
All the verses that begin "blessed are" are very challenging, particularly the verse about "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." We are told that there is a great reward for this.
So what are we saying? If you are really going out of your way to serve Yah, to preach His good news, to tell people that the real truth, it's likely that people aren’t going to like you very much, because you're going to be threatening their demonic comforts zones.
There are many other passages above that are very difficult, like loving our enemies, turning the other cheek, etc.
Consider also Ephesians 5:22-25:
"22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto Yah the Eternally Self-Existing.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as the anointed one {Christ = Yahooshua} is the head of the body of Believers {church}: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the body of Believers {church} is subject unto the anointing of the set apart Spirit of Yah {Christ NOT Yahooshua}, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as the anointed one {Christ = Yahooshua} also loved the body of Believers {church}, and gave himself for it;" (KJV, adjusted)
Wives are told to submit to their husbands in EVERYTHING.
Husbands are told to love their wives the way Yahooshua loved the body of Believers AND gave himself for it.
In other words - wives submit to your husbands even if they beat you.
Husbands love your wives even if they strive with you and beat you!
So it's reciprocal. There is huge error in so many societies on Earth today about the way men put women down and treat them badly and force them to dress in ways that are demeaning quite frankly, from where I sit that won't allow them to be educated that won't allow them to have good jobs, that beat them, this female genital mutilation. It's horrible folks what men are doing to women all over the world, even in so-called civilized societies, whatever that means, you treat women badly a lot of the time.
Consider also 1 Peter 2:1-3:22 – selected verses:
“11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify Yah in the day of visitation.
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for Yah the Eternally Self-Existing's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;”
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of Yah, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:"
Now a lot of believers, particularly Christians, don't get that particular piece. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, whether be to the king or the president or the prime minister or governor or members of parliament or government officials, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers.
There is something you need to understand. There are a lot of good people on Earth who are not serving Yah. And if you're a believer, you're required to obey the laws of your country. And if you really have a problem with that and the laws are unjust, well then, it's a problem, it's a challenge; you might see if you can go somewhere else.
“18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward Yah endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? But if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with Yah. For even hereunto were ye called: because the anointed one {Christ = Yahooshua} also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
It's heavy stuff folks. How much of this are you compliant with? I've been walking this road for 31 years nearly and I have to say when I re-read this article, I get the nasty sense that I'm not doing as well as I could be. It's a big thing. Man for conscience towards Yah endure grief, suffering wrongfully. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the forward, the bad-tempered, the unreasonable, the unjust and so forth. There is a principle there that if you're in submission, you can change things.
CHAPTER 3
1 “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:"
It's a pretty robust set of requirements here. I wonder how well you score. There is a lot of men who take wives being subjection to their husbands and completely misinterpreted. I touched on this a minute ago, it's close to my heart. I am very clear that there are many more women in Heaven than men, that there are a lot of men in Heaven who are under the authority of women, and that there is a huge amount being done on Earth against women that is absolutely unconscionable.
“14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
17 For it is better, if the will of Yah be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For the anointed one {Christ} also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to Yah, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"
Again, some enormously challenging verses.
We are advised to follow after Yahooshua and to suffer for doing good, no matter how unjustly we are treated.
There is a point here, don’t go out of your way looking for suffering. It is possible to walk in the fullness of the power of the Spirit of Yah, with full protection – no weapon formed against you shall prosper – every tongue that rise against you in unrighteous judgment will be refuted – messengers encamp around me to protect me. If you're free of sin, you don’t necessarily have to have all these things. The thing about Yahooshua that you need to realize is he went out of his way, he came to Earth to die the way he died. He went out of his way in the last 6, 12 months of his ministry to get up the noses of the high priest and the Pharisees and the doctors of the law, etc. He called them vipers. He called them whitewashed walls. He overturned the tables of the money changers in the temple. He provoked them to kill him, because he had to die that way in order to fulfil his mission on Earth.
Returning to the verses we have just read...
Wives are advised to submit to their husbands without a word, EVEN if their husbands treat them the way Yahooshua was treated when he was taken prisoner and put to death. So wives arguing with, questioning or judging their husbands is NOT an option.
We are all advised to submit to the authorities whether they are just or unjust. So, Believers opposing the government of the day (other than democratically), or condemning the government of the day or leading protest marches or "freedom fighters" does not fit.
There is a big component embedded in all of this which relates simply to UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (Chesed).
And as I've said, there is a reciprocal clause. Husbands chesed, love your wives, as Yahooshua loved the church, the assembly, the body of believers. Remember it was the church, the formal religious orders that were responsible for Yahooshua being murdered. It wasn’t some ragtag bunch of whatever, it was the church who dragged him before Pilates and demanded his execution, that beat him. So husbands love your wife even if she drags you before the authorities and beats you and demands a death sentence for you. It's reciprocal. You can't treat your wife badly and then expect Yah to be pleased with you. So those of you who are doing that, I suggest you wake up because you've got a serious problem.
Unconditional love to wife, to husband, to neighbours, to enemies - there are NO EXCUSES, NO explanations, NO justifications ONLY LOVE! Note that “love” is more correctly “covenant love” or “Chesed” in Hebrew.
Summed up by Yahooshua's words on the stake {cross} "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Can you say that with regard to the people who have treated you badly? Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
Luke 23:33-34:
"33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Golgotha {Calvary}, there they executed him on a stake {crucified him}, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Yahooshua {Jesus}, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots." (KJV, adjusted)
He's been brutally beaten, lashed until the flesh was peeling off his back, crown of thrones rammed into his head, course, crude pieces of steel hammered there his hands and his feet, hanging there in anguish, naked, bleeding, thirsty, tormented, and he says "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 defines charity or covenant love (Greek Agape, Hebrew Chesed) – selected verses:
“4 Chesed suffereth long, and is kind; chesed envieth not; chesed vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
8 Chesed never dies {faileth}: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
In many respects, verses 4 to 7 summarise much of what has been presented in the last few minutes.
Suffereth long and is kind, envieth not. It's not puffed up. Does not behave unseemly, seeketh not her own, not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, rejoiceth in the truth. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Chesed never dies, it never fails.
So for men and women make love, covenant love within a covenant relationship {marriage}, their love will last forever for eternity, even when then are in Heaven, or if you join yourself to an unbeliever, you might end up in Heaven, deeply in love with a person who's on Earth as an ancestor spirit or demon, trapped in their grave – you don't want to get involved sexually with unbelievers.
Much of this may seem simple, one may even pay "lip service" to many of these principles.
However, in my own experience, I very seldom manage to walk in much of this for very long and it increasingly is apparent that most Believers experience the same difficulty.
This becomes particularly apparent when one chooses to walk in the difficult truths that not many people are talking about AND then finds oneself being attacked verbally and spiritually.
Think about it folks. There is a chunk of what I've read out in the last 30 minutes or so, spoken by Yahooshua, a man who died a terrible death. It's mind-boggling to imagine him hanging there, pull himself up so that he can breathe and the pain, the agony, he let's go and then the agony in his feet and he pushes up, up and down, gasping for breath, bleeding, ridiculed, reviled, Father forgive them, they don't know what they're doing. Check it out.
Fundamentally, it seems that the essence of this message is about really understanding WHY those who sit on thrones for Eternity are referred to as "Overcomers." Grasping what that means in one's own life. At least at some basic level. And then choosing to live life that way anyway - which means first and foremost praying prayers like:
"Father please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it."
"Father please judge me severely and correct me harshly so that i may serve you more perfectly."
If you really are serious about serving Yah, that is a really important prayer to pray. Trust Yah that you won't be judged beyond what you can endure. I've had some judgments, couple of motorcar accidents of various severity, couple of fractured teeth in one case which went septic and intense agony for nearly a week before it was correctly treated. It wakes you up. Makes you decide to stay on track.
"Father please help me to lead a life that is pleasing to you in every way, every day."
Help us to bring you joy, we pray that every day. If you pray those three prayers, it will help to get you on track. It might take a bit of time, it might take somewhat unpleasant experiences, but it will get you on track.
So that’s all I have time for today. I will continue with this teaching next week. As I said, I think there is probably about another six or seven broadcasts following through on the subject, "Where will you spend eternity?"

Body of the Article
2024.02.06 Yah’s Calendar for 2024 – Please Diarize
Every year I publish Yah’s Calendar, the dates of this year that are important to the Creator so that you can observe the Special Sabbaths that He has ordained for us. Father’s calendar is based on the lunar cycles and therefore does NOT correlate directly with the world’s calendar.
I encourage you to take these Sabbaths seriously and observe them strictly IF your relationship with Father means anything to you. These are ALL HIGH SABBATHS, i.e. you observe them as you would the Saturday Sabbath but more strictly and with more discipline regarding worship, etcetera – see “2022.03.01 The Essence of my Message Regarding Sabbath Observance” at https://www.etimin.org/essence-of-message-re-sabbath-observance
So folks, first thing to understand is that originally the Earth was a perfect sphere. The surface of the Earth was uniform. There were exactly 360 days in a year. There were exactly 12 moon cycles in a year. Then along came the Flood, an comet in the Kuiper belt rammed into the planet, knocked the planet off its axis, deflected it in its orbit around the sun, and caused the Earth to split open. A consequence of that was that we moved to 365 and a quarter a few decimals days per year and roughly 13 moon cycles or 12 and some number of days of moon cycles per year. The result that these days, which are based on the lunar calendar fluctuates from year-to-year which is I rely on the resource in South Africa, Qodesh Books who do a special study to get the dates right and I trust that they are the right dates Father has shown me. So we will go on and talk a little bit more about this now.
I take the dates from the Calendar published by Qodesh Books in South Africa which I regard as a reliable source, see https://www.qodesh.co.za. Qodesh means set-apart, holy.
All Sabbaths are from Sunrise to Sunrise except Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which is Sunset to Sunset.
I can't tell you why Yom Kippur is the exception. It just is. And I just take it that way. The key thing here is these dates that I'm going to share with you, are very important in Yah's calendar. Generally if He is going to do anything significant on the Earth, He will do it on one of these days or associated with one of these days. And that’s important to understand. He doesn't that in people's lives as what I've had significant things happen on some of these key dates. It doesn't mean that He can't do things the rest of the year. The main thing here is they are important. If you really care about serving Yah, you will strictly observe these six high Sabbaths, and by strictly observe I mean no commercial work, no housework, no shopping, none of the things that you can do the rest of the week. You've got Sunday to do the shopping, etc. You shouldn’t be doing that on the Saturday and so on and so forth.
So the reward that Yahooshua received was so great, so I'm going to carry on now and talk about the individual days. The first one in the annual cycle, it's the first according to the worldly calendar and it's the first according to Yah's calendar. Yah's new year begins two weeks before Passover, but I'm not going to talk about that.
1. Pesach (Passover) – Monday 25th of March 2024 – the day before the slaying of the First Born of Egypt and the flight of Yisrael from Egypt, also the day after Yahooshua died – see https://www.etimin.org/about-pesach-passover-and-yahooshua for more information.
Fundamentally what happened there, Yah told Moshe {Moses} to tell the people to slaughter a lamb, take the blood of the lamb, put it on the door posts and the lintels of their house and to have to roast the lamb and eat it under specific conditions. Yahooshua celebrated that feast with his followers and the next morning he was betrayed and executed. So it's a really important day to observe with very considerable respect. I recognize and remember the offering, the sacrifice that Yahooshua made, give thanks for that, take the bread and wine, communion, you might call it the holy sacraments, other people call it.
2. Shavuot (Pentecost) – Sunday 19th of May 2024 – Yah came down on Mount Sinai and gave the Ten Commandments. It's also the day on which the Set-Apart Spirit was given to the followers of Yahooshua in the Upper Room after Yahooshua had ascended up into Heaven – see https://www.etimin.org/shavuot-pentecost for more information.
Generally if Father is going to do something that involves pouring out His spirit on some individual, some group of people, He is particularly inclined to do that at Shavuot. If you're not spirit filled, you don’t have to wait to Shavuot. You can ask Him right now "Father in the name of Yahooshua I ask you to fill me with your spirit, I ask you to come and dwell in me."
The first step is just to believe in Yah. Say "Father, I believe that you exist. Please accept me as your child." The next step which can follow immediately or sometime in the future if you didn't do that in the first place is what I've just said, "Father, I ask you to come and dwell in me with your set-apart spirit. Make me yours, fill me with your spirit, lead me and guide me, help me to be your servant, help me to be your son or daughter or your child." It's so important.
If you really are committed to serving Father, you need to be filled with His spirit and you need to observe Shavuot as a very important set-apart day that you spend worshiping and serving Yah.
3. Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets) – Thursday 5th September 2024 – sound the Ram’s Horn Trumpet (Shofar). You can purchase such a Trumpet (Shofar) on Amazon – see https://www.etimin.org/commandments/chesed-love-the-almighty/keep-sabbaths/yomteruahtrumpets.
So, ideally blow the trumpets which can be a bit disruptive for your neighbours, so don’t blow it for very long. As I say, you can order a ram's horn trumpet from Amazon, I can't say for sure you can today, but certainly I got one about 5-6 years ago.
So trumpets is the day of rejoicing, it's the day of shouting, it's the day of tearing down strongholds and really just celebrating Yah. It's a feast and it's time to draw close to Him, as all these days are time to daw close to Him.
There is a lot less written about Yom Teruah than there is about the other days, and I've never really researched it in a lot of detail, but what I do is I observe it as a strict Sabbath. I take leave from work. I don't work on those days. I put them in my calendar right at the beginning of the year. So when I put together the email on which this presentation is based, I put those dates in my calendar and I am scrupulous about not making customer appointments, cloud appointments on those days, and you shall be too; you should put it in your calendar, take leave if you're in salaried employment and worship Yah.
4. Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) – Friday 13th September 2024 Sunset to Saturday 14th September Sunset – water only fast, no food, no tea, no coffee, just plain water, it's the most set-apart {Holiest} day in the year – see https://www.etimin.org/yom-kippur-the-day-of-atonement for more information.
Having said that, when I fast, I take a small portion of matzos unleavened bread, dried unleavened bread, and a portion of a glass of red grape juice and I observe and I remember and rehearse the covenant of Yahooshua based on what he said to those who followed him the night before he was betrayed. And I encourage you to do that and in that you make a declaration of your commitment to Yah. You ask Him for any specific and any special favours or grants that you may have to ask Him. And generally you use it as a time of really dealing with your sin. That’s Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.
One of the things that Yahooshua did was to introduce a new offering for atonement. See the article on the Miracle of the Death of Yahooshua to understand what I'm talking about. But basically, Yom Kippur is about dealing with all you sin, getting close to Father, afflicting yourself with fasting, and saying "Father, I want to get closer to you. I want to do your will. I'm repenting the wrong that I've done and all the things I've not done that I should have done."
5. First Day of Sukkot (First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles) – Thursday 19th September 2024 – feast day, birth of Yahooshua – celebrate INSTEAD of Christmas – see https://www.etimin.org/true-birthday-of-yahooshua for more information.
Now, the thing here folks, is that you should not be observing Christmas. Christmas is an abomination in the Sight of Yah, it's when the whole world worships Satan. But you can say, but we worship Jesus and God and the Lord and what have you on Christmas. Folks, I have to say to you, back in 2000 when I went on ten 3-day fasts at 10-day intervals seeking truth, I learned about Christmas, I went to Father, and said "Father, is this important? Should we stop observing Christmas?" He said "Yes, it's abomination to me." We sort of observe Christmas because we only asked at the last minute and it was a mess. I've never observed Christmas since then. Grieved by what I see in the world, people with Christmas trees which are Asherah poles, all sorts of bobbles and bangles, which have demonic significance. That year that I just mentioned to you, we were sitting in the lounge on a Christmas day praying and my young son said to me "Daddy that troll is looking at me!" And sure enough, there was a troll decoration on the Christmas tree. There was a demon in it and you could see the demon looking out through the eyes of the troll. We took the troll outside and we burnt it. We took the Christmas tree outside and we burnt it and we never observed Christmas again. It's an abomination. It's Satan's high feast day.
Christmas is the day when Satan laughs the hardest and the longest at Yah because he is basically saying "See how even the people who claim to believe in you worship me on Christmas Day." Folks, if you celebrate on Christmas Day, you are worshiping Satan. It's as brutal as that. If you think it's important to remember the birth of Yahooshua, then do that on the First Day of Sukkot, the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, have a feast like you would have on Christmas, so you can have roast turkey and whatever and whatever and whatever. You can give gifts, don't have a tree please, it's an Asherah, it's abomination in the Sight of Yah. And you can do all the good things that you might have done on Christmas Day you can do on the First Day of Sukkot.
6. Great Day of Sukkot (Great (eighth day) Day of Feast of Tabernacles) – Thursday 26th September 2024 – Great Feast – Yahooshua circumcised – see https://www.etimin.org/overcoming-christmas-observing-tabernacles for more information.
Folks, if you don't have a big party on the first day, then definitely have a big party on the eighth day. Sukkot remembers how for 40 years the Israelites lived in the wilderness. It's the time to rejoice in your love of Yah, if you love Yah of course. It's a day to celebrate your belief. It's a day to celebrate whatever Yah has done in your life in the past year. It's a bit of a harvest festival in a way, so you can also integrate that sort of thinking in that. Give thanks for everything that you've earned and received during the year. Folks, it should be the greatest feast of the year, in the same that Yom Kippur should be the greatest fast of the year.
Conclusion – Book these dates
Please diarize these dates and book leave from work now. It is really important to observe these Sabbaths. I strongly recommend that where these days occur on a business day that you book annual leave for each date. I will suggest you do that right now for the whole year. It's only six days and several of them this year are over weekend.
Please feel free to email me at James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org if you have questions or comments. Go to the website, there is a lot of material there.
So I want to carry on and let's continue to look at...
2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest – Part 7
I'm just picking up where I left off last week. I'm juxtaposing going through this entire eBook with other things which seem timeous and relevant at this stage.
Another very important prayer - based on Galatians 2:20 "Father please let me be put to death with Yahooshua; nevertheless let me live; yet not i, but let the anointing of your set apart Spirit live in me: and the life which i now live in the flesh let me live by the faith of Yahooshua who loved me, and gave himself for me." (based on the KJV)
Galatians 2:20 reads "I am put to death {crucified} with the anointed one {Christ = Yahooshua}: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ NOT Yahooshua} liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of Yah, who loved me, and gave himself for me." (KJV, adjusted)
Father's name is Yah, elaborated as Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, which is often transliterated as Yahweh or more correctly, Yahooeh. He is not God, He is not the Lord. There was grace for those names in the past, but they are pagan names. It's an insult to call Him the Lord or God. The word translated Lord is actually Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. And Yahooshua, he is not Jesus. Again, there was grace for Jesus, but that's gone long past. It's an insult to call him Jesus, it means blessed by Zeus, Zeus is a demonic God.
So, "Father, please let me be put to death with Yahooshua, nevertheless let me live yet not I let the anointing of your set-apart spirit live in me and the life which I now live in the flesh let me live by the faith of Yahooshua who love me and gave himself for me." You don’t have to pray exactly as Galatians 2:20 and adapt it as you see fit. It's a very powerful prayer, and it should be prayed with caution.
Only pray this prayer IF you are REALLY committed AND you are in a stable relationship – the above prayer can literally kill you in time if you pray it regularly and then get into sin, join yourself to someone sexually who is NOT anointed, get into fear, depression, anger, etc.
And then:
PRAY whatever the Spirit of the Almighty leads you to pray.
So what I would share with you back in 2010 some things happened, I missed it on a couple of key things. I decided to go on seven 3-day fasts at weekly intervals which I've done seven times in the last 30 years or last 20 years actually and which is a really important way of cleaning up your act and getting close to Father. That’s 3 days water only plus small amount of bread and wine morning and evening, declaration of what you're committing the fast to. And then just go about your daily life. Spend as much time worshiping, etc., as you can, seeking truth.
So 7 times for 7 weeks I prayed morning and evening and took communion – Father put me to death with Yahooshua – prayer that I've just shared with you. It worked. I could hear Father much more clearly. Problem was, I was single at the time, I subsequently married a woman who for various reasons didn't fully agree with me, at a point she betrayed me. The spiritual torment and tension and trauma that I experienced as a consequence of that tore me apart. I lost my anointing and I very nearly died because I was dead with Yahooshua and it was the Spirit of Yah, the anointing that was holding me together.
Since then it happened a couple more times in various ways, I'm not going to go into that, and each time I've nearly died. Pulled back from the brink, today I battle with tiredness, I don't have a lot of energy, I just soldier on. So don’t pray that prayer until you are in a union with somebody who is really going to back you up in it and understands the significance of getting into strife and fear, etc. with you. If you don’t have such a partner and you're single, then you need to decide that you're going to remain single. If you're not going to remain single, don't do it. Wait until you have a life partner that you trust, that you can rely on to back you up absolutely to the full, not to betray you, not to get into fear, not to get into anger. It's heavy stuff folks. If you really, really want to serve Father deeply, these are things you can do. This is not for anyone who just sort of feels like a bit of a prayer or something. This is for somebody who is saying "You know what Father, I want to get so close to you that I stop making stupid mistakes. I want to get so close to you that I have the ability to minister to people in a powerful way."
DO whatever the Spirit of the Almighty leads you to do, no matter how uncomfortable, how unconventional, how much you don't want to do it, how much it offends you or hurts you or upsets your friends or your family or your wife or whatever.
2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight:" (KJV)
As I've said, this is for people who are taking this thing very seriously. This is for somebody who is doing regular fasts and really, really, really wants to get close to Father.
Proverbs 3:5-8
"5 Trust in Yah the Eternally Self-Existing with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." (KJV, adjusted)
There is so much that we do not even begin to understand in terms of what we're talking about here folks. But it's pretty fundamental. If you're serious about Yah, if you desire to be in a place of esteem in Heaven for eternity, then you need to trust in Yah the Eternally Self-Existing with all thine heart, lean not unto thine own understanding. There is a commandment love Yah the Eternally Self-Existing with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul and with all your strength. It doesn't leave space to love Jesus or anyone else or your pastor. You can chesed them, treat them with respect, covenant love, but true deep chesed, love, should be reserved for Yah. Yes, there is a different sort of love between man and wife. There is a different sort of love between family members, but the fundamental truth is love Yah the Eternally Self-Existing with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.
We cannot figure this out in our own understanding or based on what we see with our natural minds.
We can only accomplish anything of worth in this life if we choose to be TOTALLY led by the Spirit of the Almighty and do the best we can each day to hear His voice, be led by His Spirit, to seek His guiding hand, etc.
If you are a person who truly believes that Yah is important, that Yahooshua is important, then I have to say to you that both Yah and Yahooshua expect you to make a real effort to get close to them and to do what they want you to do in this life. And that probably means that you're going to have some full-time employment to pay the bills and then you're going to have your ministry on top of that. If you're willing to go out by emunah, by faith, and trust Yah to provide for you and just go out and start telling the world about Yah, by all means do it; just understand it's up to you, it's up to you emunah, your faith, whether you succeed or not.
The more that we can come to a realisation that we can do NO GOOD THING in our own strength, the more we are likely to please Him and come to close relationship with Him. Consider Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." (KJV)
There is much more that could be written, however, it is hoped that this gives some indication.
There is also a piece that we're not glove puppets. There is an article on the website about the biggest error that's affecting committed believers. We have to exercise our will. We have to exercise our mind. Father didn't give us to be little puppets that do what He does. He is not oppressive in that sense. He wants us to be led by His Spirit in terms of the way we live our lives and our obedience to Him and His commandments, etc. But He also wants us to exercise our will in terms of our service to Him. It's an act of the will to say "I will worship Yah alone." It's an act of the will to say, "I repent of worshiping Jesus, I repent of worshiping the Bible. I repent. I repent. I repent. I repent." All of that is an act of the will. The Spirit of Yah will help you to do that but at the end of the day, you have to make the choices. In the same way, if you are stuck in God and the Lord and Christ and Jesus, and you're saying "Well brother, tell me where is the Scripture?"
The Bible is full of gross translation errors. It is not the LORD, it is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. The translation is corrupt. It's not God. It's the Almighty/Mighty One depending on context. The translation is a mess. It's not Christ. It's the anointing of the Spirit of Yah on the person or it's one anointed with the Spirit of Yah, again depending on context.
If you are going around with Jesus, God, and the Lord, you are in a bad place. When you die, if you go to Heaven, you're going to find yourself in front of the judgment seat and Father is going to send you to Hell to get your tongue cleaned up for all the profanities that you speak out using those names.
10 Some Challenging Passages from The Final Quest
Insofar as many do not consider the book, "The Final Quest" by Rick Joyner to have the same authority as the texts from the Bible cited above, it was considered appropriate to cite passages from The Final Quest in a separate section.
Commentary regarding The Final Quest – January 2024:
Since writing the above I have concluded that “The Final Quest” while it contains errors, is of comparable value to the “Bible” and should be read and engaged with by all Believers.
When I was still reading the Bible, I used to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation or Bereshith to Revelation and then I used to read The Final Quest and The Call. If you've not read The Final Quest, I encourage you to do so. I have doctrinal concerns with regard to certain passages in The Final Quest and The Call, but the writer has been told by the Almighty that much of what is presented in "The Final Quest" is based on information given by the Almighty in a series of visions. "The Final Quest" is therefore a valid and valuable resource from which we can prayerfully increase our understanding of the Kingdom of the Almighty, His way of doing things and that which is still to come, particularly the Day of Judgment.
In the text that follows, various quotes and summaries from "The Final Quest" are presented in support of the overall thesis of this article.
All quotations and references are from the 1996 printing by Whitaker House, 30 Hunt Valley Circle, New Kensington, PA 15068. ISBN: 0-88368-478-0. The book is available in many bookstores and over the Internet, including at Eagle Star Ministries, the ministry of Rick Joyner, at http://www.eaglestar.org and at Amazon.com. It is also available at www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org.
Scanned Copy of The Final Quest with James Robertson Notes PDF on the ETI Bible Version section on the website – this is the version on which the commentary that follows is based – page numbers and paragraph numbers correspond to the scanned document.
An editable version of The Final Quest is available at the same location https://www.etimin.org/the-eti-bible-version.
The Final Quest is also published on the website in PDF format and DOCX format, so that you can actually take it down and make your own notes.
There is also a copy of the same text, the original text, which I've annotated, I've corrected words like Jesus with Yahooshua, with God with Almighty, with Lord with Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, and so forth. And I've put commentary on what I think is important because there is a lot of metaphor, there is a lot of symbolic content in the book. For example, shooting arrows, where the arrows are actually words and that's not directly evident, you got to figure that out. So I've explained all of those things. I've put in sentence numbering so that you can send somebody a reference to The Final Quest and cite sections number, verse number. So it's all there on the website.
I want to stress to you folks, the only reason we exist is because Father was lonely and He spent a huge amount of time and effort to create this entire universe, to create this solar system, to create this planet Earth, to create the plants and the animals so that it was a pleasant place to live. Then He created us. The only reason He created us was because He wanted people to talk to and work with Him and invent things with Him and do things with Him. So I have to say to you why are you not doing that? What are you doing with all of your life? If you are not actively seeking to hear Father? To speak to Father? To see what He sees, to feel what He feels. To pray His will on Earth. To get close to Him, to get free of sin, to strive for a high throne for eternity. You're missing the entire point of what you're doing on this planet. I can't stress that enough.
There is only one reason why you, who are listening to me right now, not the person on either side of you or behind you or above you, whatever. Not your pastor or your priest or you imam or you rabbi or whatever. Forget all of that. Seek a deep personal relationship with the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth whose true name is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. That’s what this life is all about. I urge you to go for it now. Email me, I'll help you.

Body of the Article
2024.02.07 The Chosen Amplified and Where will YOU Spend Eternity Part 8
If you have not yet watched the TV drama “The Chosen” which is all about the life of Yahooshua and the 12 Followers {Disciples that he chose, I recommend it.
Having said that, there are some important details about Yahooshua that have been missed and to that end I am delivering this broadcast to amplify those key things that I consider important to know about Yahooshua.
This series has become quite a phenomenon so you may well have heard of it and quite possibly watched it. So far, there have been 3 seasons, each of 8 episodes. Season 4 has just started in movie cinemas.
The past episodes are available on YouTube – first two episodes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-8-NcL7tc – the remaining episodes follow.
There is also an App if you are watching on your phone (more convenient than YouTube) – go to the Play Store on an Android phone or the App Store on Apple and type in “The Chosen” and the app should be displayed to download, it is free of charge.
Amplification
Sadly, there are some items that I regard as absolutely critical to understanding Yahooshua {incorrectly Jesus} that are missed:
1. The role of the Spirit that became Yahooshua in Creation.
2. The details of the conception and birth of Yahooshua through a virgin.
3. The immersion of Yahooshua by Yahoochanan the Immerser {John the Baptist} with Yah speaking and commending Yahooshua and the Spirit of Yah coming upon Yahooshua.
Yahooshua spending 40 days in the Wilderness fasting and contesting with Satan.
This is discussed in more detail now.
5. The role of Yah is largely downplayed to the point of being ignored.
6. The program is all done in the names God, Jesus, etc.
7. Artistic license.
1. The role of the Spirit that became Yahooshua in Creation
In understanding Yahooshua, it is important to understand that the Spirit being that was imparted to the human embryo that became the man Yahooshua was the Spirit of the first spirit being created by Yah. This being was Yah’s assistant, effectively Chief Operating Officer, throughout the process of Creation, so he came to Earth with deep knowledge of what was going on and the nature of The Contest and the day-to-day spiritual battles on Earth. He also had a deep knowledge of the errors he would encounter as well as a deep knowledge of how he would die. He had watched numerous offenders executed at Golgotha!
Refer to “2020.10.01 The miraculous planning of the death of Yahooshua – where, how and what” at https://www.etimin.org/miracle-of-yahooshua-jesus-death for more information about Yahooshua.
This knowledge and experience meant that from the moment of birth Yahooshua had an authoritative view of what was happening around him and so he went into his ministry with a very authoritative posture which is not presented in The Chosen.
Folks, this is really, really important. There is a brief reference in the Good News, the Gospel of Yahoochanan {John} to Yahooshua being with Yah at the beginning. It's very obscure. There are one or two other teases to the same effect. The fact is that Yahooshua was actively involved in every facet of the process of creating the universe, creating our solar system, creating our planet Earth, creating the plants, creating the animals, and creating human beings. He knew exactly what was going on. He knew about all the error and deception and wrong thinking of the Scribes and the Pharisees and the High Priests. He knew about Roman justice, he knew that it was Roman practice to take offenders out of the city of Jerusalem, nail them into a stake (not a cross), the cross is a meaningless incorrect translation. If you look at any good concordance you will find that the word translated cross is in fact the word stake.
So he came to Earth with his eyes open and knowing full well what was going to happen. He worked and collaborated with Yah to plan what would happen down to the last detail. He came with a couple of objectives. Number one, live a life without sin. Number two, draw people back to Yah and particularly make a way for new impartation of the Spirit of Yah to individual believers who were not of the priestly and Levitical line. Number three, to provoke and irritate and annoy the high priests and the scribes and the Pharisees to such a point that they would eventually call for his death. Number four, to die without sinning and so qualify for the highest throne in Heaven next to Yah, where he is seated at the right hand of the Father, waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool.
This is so important to understand. The Chosen does not present Yahooshua as the authoritative man that I believe that he was. He becomes more authoritative towards the end of Season 3, but as I have it, he was authoritative right from day zero.
2. Details of the conception and birth of Yahooshua through a virgin
The book of Luke 1:5 – 2:7 in the Bible is presented in Appendix A of the article The Chosen Amplified on the website and the text is taken from the ETI Version from the ETI Version page on the website.
This sets out in detail a number of events foreshadowed in the historical writings and foretellings leading up to the birth of Yahooshua.
This knowledge is again vital to understanding the role of Yahoochanan the Immerser {John the Baptist} and Yahooshua both of whom were foreshadowed. Sadly this is not covered in The Chosen although there are a few oblique references to the virgin birth albeit with strong reference to Yahooshua’s earthly adoptive father.
Again, critical to understand. Yahooshua came on the basis of something that was planned at the very least hundreds of years previously which was set up through a number of the great emissaries, prophets, hundreds of years beforehand so that people, the intercessors could pray it into existence. If you don't understand that Yahooshua was born of a virgin and therefore free of bloodline curses, you again underestimate who he was and his power and his authority.
3. The immersion of Yahooshua by Yahoochanan the Immerser {John the Baptist} with Yah speaking and commending Yahooshua and the Spirit of Yah coming upon Yahooshua
Appendix B contains MattihYahoo Chapter 3 verse 15 to 23 from the ETI Version. Note in particular:
“21 Now when all the people were immersed, it came to pass, that Yahooshua also being immersed, and praying, the Heaven was opened,
“22 And the Set-Apart Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
“23 And Yahooshua himself began to be about thirty years of age , being (as was supposed) the son of Yoseph, which was the son of Heli,
Couple of key points here. Number one, Yahoochanan the Immerser came with strong authority, he was of the priestly line, so he was a descendent of Aaron, his father was a priest. He came again in authority, and to some extent The Chosen parodies Yahoochanan as a bit of an eccentric sort of cheeky sort of little guy or that's the way I experienced it. Again, I infer from his bloodline and his upbringing that he spoke very authoritative. He knew Yah had sent him to immerse. And then when Yahooshua was immersed, the Heaven was opened and the set-apart Spirit of Yah, part of Yah's spirit that is given to a believer was imparted visibility on Yahooshua and Yah spoke in the hearing of at least or perhaps a few hundred possibly even more people so there was no question in terms of the message that got broadcast around that area that Yah had spoken about this man. Again, there is nothing in The Chosen that exemplifies this. In addition to that, Yahoochanan said behold the Lamb of Yah. So Yahoochanan laid the foundation for the death of Yahooshua on the stake 3-1/2 years later as the offering, the sacrifice of the Lamb of Yah, which was the legal basis whereby he fulfilled the Passover, the Pesach sacrifice offering such that he became the offering for sin, such that he became the offering for atonement, such that he qualified to become high priest, such that he qualified to become advocate and so on and so forth.
Again, I refer you to the article The Miracle of Yahooshua's Death. And then it's important to note that he was 30 years old when he started his ministry. Again, he started out with power and that power is not evident in the early part of The Chosen.
This is vital to understand:
a. That Yahooshua was immersed – this was a necessary precursor to entering into full time ministry. He had to have the spirit on him, he had to be immersed to cleanse him as a symbolic act to comply with Mosaic Law, Torah, whatever you want to call it.
b. That the Spirit of Yah descended on Him and Anointed Him – until that point Yahooshua was an ordinary man with NO anointing. From that point he was filled with the Spirit of Yah whereby he was subsequently able to perform miracles and speak on behalf of Yah – see the article “2024.02.04 Experiencing the Anointing -- HOW does it manifest?” at https://www.etimin.org/experiencing-the-anointing-how-does-it-manifest. This Anointing will have resulted in Yahooshua IMMEDIATELY starting to speak with Authority! Speaking from personal experience, when the Spirit of Yah comes on you powerfully and you're anointed, Yah starts to give you utterance and you speak authoritatively and you say things that you didn’t know, so given that Yahooshua knew hang of a lot more than I ever did, I speak with conviction that Yahooshua spoke with authority very much so from the point at which he was anointed.
It is vital to understand that it was this Anointing that empowered Yahooshua to perform the miracles he performed – it was the Spirit of Yah IN Yahooshua that performed the miracles, not Yahooshua the man!
c. That Yah spoke in front of an audience to acknowledge Yahooshua as His Son! So there was a significant audience that understood the standing of Yahooshua with Yah.
These three events are vital to understanding Yahooshua and how he was equipped to minister.
Sadly The Chosen only mentions the immersion of Yahooshua very briefly with none of the other details covered at all.
4. Yahooshua spending 40 days in the Wilderness fasting and contending with Satan
Appendix C presents MattihYahoo Chapter 4 verse 1 to 14 from the ETI Version. Note particularly:
“1. AND Yahooshua being full of the Set-Apart Spirit returned from Yarden, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
“2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing : and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.”
A forty day fast is pre-requisite to Power Ministry – without being filled with the Spirit of Yah AND fasting for forty days Yahooshua would not have been able to enter into Power Ministry!
“13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season."
This is nothing in The Chosen about anything that I've just said to you. Back in 2010 I met a lady who was a powerful emissary/apostle/prophetess who had raised 19 people from the dead. She advocated and had herself executed a 40-day fast to come into power ministry. In fact she had done two if not three 40-day fasts and some of those who followed her had done 40-day fasts. On the strength of that she had raised 19 people from the dead. She had delivered the witch, the head witch of France. She had spoken authoritatively to many leaders both in secular government and in the ministry. She was a powerful force filled with the Spirit of Yah. She only slept 2-3 hours a night. She spoke to Yah continually. If she misplaced something in her house, she asked Yah where it was and He told her where it was. She had been delayed two hours for a meeting that she was to address, some two hours' drive from where she was, she left where she was, phoned a head to say that she was running late, moments after that a mist descended on the road and the next thing that happened she and her car appeared at the venue. So she got there on time, even though she left two hours late.
I want to say to you folks, that is the power of the Spirit of Yah on any human being. It's available to you. It's available to me. But it needs at least 40-day fast. Yahooshua went on a 40-day fast so he could do those things, so that he could walk on water. If you don't understand that, you get completely the wrong message about Yahooshua because you think he is God and he is doing it in his own strength. NO! It's the Spirit of Yah upon him that did it.
“14 And Yahooshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galil and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.”
It is also vital to be aware that Yahooshua was actively tempted by Satan and gained victory.
Note also that the fame of Yahooshua went out IMMEDIATELY – The Chosen sadly totally overlooks all of this and presents Yahooshua as diffident to start with and his ministry as ramping up slowly.
Not the case. He hit society hard. He came through the immersion and came out as that powerful servant of Yah filled with the Spirit of Yah, performing miracles. It's so important to understand it.
5. The role of Yah is largely downplayed to the point of being ignored
The role of Yah, as “God” is hardly mentioned such that it is unlikely that viewers will come to relationship with Yah or even awareness of Yah – fundamentally it is vital to understand that the miracles attributed to Yahooshua were ALL performed by Yah operating THROUGH Yahooshua.
There is some mention of Yahooshua going apart to Pray but it's very downplayed and there are customary Jewish prayers to God but that is all. Yah speaking out loud to bless Yahooshua when he was immersed is missing. The impression is created that Yahooshua is performing the miracles in his own power as opposed to in the power of the Spirit of Yah upon him.
This is tragic, this is a powerful movie that apparently is touching millions but which is not doing anything to lead people to belief in Yah let alone to relationship with Yah. So it is likely producing millions of followers that Yah refers to as “Believing Unbelievers” people who at some level believe but who have no relationship with Yah and who will therefore never enter Heaven.
Folks, the world is full of people who believe in Jesus, but don't believe in Yah at a level of saying "Father Yah, I believe you exist. I commit my life to you. Touch me, lead me, guide me, help me to draw close to you." They may pray like that to Jesus and The Chosen does nothing to get them to pray the prayer that I've just shared with you or anything that even vaguely approximates it. The movie becomes more powerful with the miracles that Yahooshua delivers towards the third season and I believe in the fourth season, it's even more pronounced. It doesn't lead people to Yah and that is the sole reason. The name of Yahooshua means Yah is Salvation. Yah is the saviour, not Yahooshua. Yahooshua came to appoint people through Yah as the saviour. Yahooshua came to make an easy way for people to come to salvation.
The word Salvation in Hebrew is Yeshua. There are a lot of people calling Jesus now Yeshua. Yeshua is a descriptive word which means Salvation. It is not the name of a person. The related name of a person is Yahooshua, in other words, Yah is Yahooshua, Yah is Salvation. It's so sad folks. So many people think that they are following Jesus when they need to be following Yah.
6. The program is all done in the names God, Jesus, the Lord, etc.
There is no reference to Yah, Yahooshua, the Almighty, etc., and since all grace for the use of God, Jesus, Christ, the Lord has been withdrawn, again this movie will not lead to new Believers in Yah!
God is the name of a pagan deity. Yah extended grace to the use of God, but He had to withdraw it in 2003 before Satan could be convicted of his sins against humanity and sent to the pit for 1000 years. God correctly translated is the Almighty or Mighty One, depending on context. There is more than one variant of Elohim, the Hebrew that translates correctly as the Almighty or Mighty One. The Lord correctly translated in Hebrew is Baal, another pagan, demonic deity. The correct translating of the Hebrew which is Yahweh is better than nothing. It's more accurately Yahooeh, but accurately it is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing. To call Him the Lord is an insult. Christ is a meaningless Christian word. It means anointed with the Spirit of Yah or the anointed one of Yah, depending on context. There are about four different Greek words all of which are translated Christ.
If you truly value your relationship with Yah, I implore you to use the correct names. Many years ago, Father Yah said to me, "James, if you love me, you will call me by my true name," in other words, Yah.
7. Artistic license
There are many additions to what is in the Bible and some items that I consider particularly important are overlooked. There is a lot of back story which is engaging and entertaining but which is not in the Bible and which does not necessarily correlate with what I infer from reading the Bible as many times as I have in addition to just having rendered the four books of Good News {Gospels} for the ETI Bible Version with correction of all the translation errors that I know. There is a whole lot of human interest, but if you've not read the Bible or not read it thoroughly and comprehensively repeatedly, I'm talking about the so-called New Testament, I'm talking specifically about the part that’s called The Gospels, MattihYahoo, Mathew, Mark, Luke, Yahoochanan, John. If you do not know those passages fairly intimately, you may well think that everything in The Chosen is out of the Bible. It's not! About 20% of what's in The Chosen correlates roughly with the Bible and even then to some extent it is inaccurate.
The way that for example Shimon {Simon} is portrayed as a little bit of an eccentric foolish character is not what I read in the Bible. I could go on. They have taken artistic license and given what they've done that's acceptable, it's real, but they have downplayed Yah in the story, they have downplayed Yahooshua in the story, and they have overplayed their hand in creative scripting. This is such a powerful set of videos. They are entertaining, they are engaging, I've watched all of the first three seasons and I really enjoyed them at one level, barring the points that I've just raised with you.
I encourage you if you've watched The Chosen, take note of what I've said and watch it again. If you've not watched The Chosen, take note of what I've said and watch it. It's worth watching if you do it within the context of the relationship with Yah and see in Yahooshua his relationship with Yah and see implicitly because it's not made explicit how Yahooshua led his 12 followers to deep relationship with Yah. There is much to be gained at that level if you go in with that mindset. If you just go in as a nice story about Jesus and you think it's all true, and did Jesus really was like that, I'm sorry to have to say to you, you are going to be misled and sidetracked from what you could get out of the movie. But if you don't understand the power that Yahooshua had, the authority that he had, you will miss the point.
Conclusion
The bottom line is that IF one is a Believer who is reasonably familiar with the Bible, particularly the four books MattihYahoo, Mark, Luke, Yahoochanan, one will get benefit from The Chosen, as I have done, while, if one is an unbeliever, one may be challenged to seek relationship but one is not offered any way to do this.
This is sad, this is a powerful movie and a huge missed opportunity.
Notwithstanding the above caveats, The Chosen is a powerful series of videos that is well worth watching.
Please feel free to email me (James) at James@EndTimeIssueMinistries.org if you have questions or comments.
Sadly, there is not even at the end of each session of each episode, a one or two minute interlude to say if you have been touched by this, pray as follows: "Father Yah, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua, I now recognize that you exist. I now recognize your power, I desire to be your servant, I desire for you to be my friend and I choose now to invite you into my life to fill me with your spirit and to take my life and turn it around." Something along those lines, it doesn't have to be exactly those words. Pray whatever you feel led to pray. If you are listening to this and you have never prayed a prayer like that or you've prayed it to Jesus, then I encourage you right now to pray that prayer and if you're not ready to pray that prayer, watch The Chosen and when you get to the end, pray that prayer or at any point during the process when you recognize that the miracles that have been performed by Yah, not by Jesus. Yah desires a deep personal relationship with you.
So we have got a few minutes left and I'm going to continue with the article 2024.01.03 Where Will You Spend Eternity with commentary on The Final Quest, the third edition, part 8
2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest – Third Edition – Part 8
Continuing with Some Challenging Passages from The Final Quest.
There are MANY passages in "The Final Quest" that deliver hard and challenging messages about the way that we understand the ways of the Almighty.
Readers are encouraged to read “The Final Quest” particularly from Part IV onwards. It is preferable, however, to read the entire book.
Numbers of the form "23 (1)" are page numbers (23) and paragraph numbers ((1)) on the page in the edition of "The Final Quest" referred to above. The scanned version of that copy is on the website. If you go to the ETI Bible page, The Final Quest is under there because I hold that the Final Quest is of comparable importance to anything in the Bible. It's a modern vision about the end times, about what's going on in the Earth right now, about what judgment looks like. I saw a completely different picture after I read The Final Quest. I've read The Final Quest I don’t know 10-20 times, it's very informative and that’s why I'm in the process of rendering it to correct translation errors and I encourage you to read the version that’s on the website. I've done up till the end of Part 2, Chapter 5.
In all quotations words like "God" and "the Lord" have been substituted using the words that I understand to be more pleasing to the Almighty in accordance with the same conventions used in this broadcast thus far.
The first part of The Final Quest refers to the battle.
The Battle
In one of the early visions, Joyner reports the commencement of a major battle between the forces of darkness and the servants of the Almighty.
In 22 (3) Joyner reports that there were "many more Christians being used by the evil one than in the army of Yah."
This is a really important observation in terms of the basic theme of this article. A large proportion of those who consider themselves to be Believers are not serving the Almighty at present. The problem was severe in 1995, when the vision was given; it has become considerably more severe since then.
It's close to 30 years since Joyner received these visions. Part of what he saw is in the process of being fulfilled, but at a very embryonic state. And it's important to understand that in his vision of The Battle, the Demonic Forces are riding on believers, not just Christians, but Christians, Muslims, Jews and other religions that have in any shape or form some sort of connection to the Creator. It's a disturbing picture and important to realize that while there are billions of Christians, billions of Muslims, hundreds of thousands of may be millions of Jews, very few of them are on Yah's mountain. Very few of them are climbing to get close to Yah. Most of them are in deep error, heavily demonized.
Later in the visions, Joyner sees increasing numbers of people realising they have been deceived and changing sides. This article is presented to assist people to do this. I believe that what is in The Final Quest refers to a FUTURE state, currently the level of error amongst all believers is INCREASING!
When I was growing up, I was confirmed in the Anglican Church, a South African Branch of the Church of England. I believed in God. It wasn’t a lot of talk about Jesus. Today if you go into most Christian churches, there is a lot of talk about Jesus and not a lot of talk about God.
In 23 (1) Joyner reports that the majority of the soldiers in the army of Yah were "women and children."
Again, this is an important observation in terms of the body of Believers at present. Many of the adult men who appear to be serving the Almighty are not doing so in a place of submission to the Almighty.
If you're listening to this and you are a man who thinks you're superior to women, a man who won't allow women to be educated, a man who won't allow women to play an active role in the commercial and social structure of the society, a man who forces women to wear headscarves and strange outfits and not to dress with the same latitude as the men, you have a major problem. When you die, you are going to find that there are something like seven times more women than men in Heaven and you might end up under the authority of a woman to help you get your thinking right.
I'm out of time, I will continue with this next week.

Body of the Article
2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest – Third Edition – Part 9
Continuing to look at “The Battle” as described by Joyner.
In one of the early visions, Joyner reports the commencement of a major battle between the Forces of Darkness and the servants of the Almighty.
The number references that I will give you're to the pages and paragraphs in my copy of The Final Quest which is available on the website as a scanned PDF. Go to the ETI Bible version and under that you will find The Final Quest.
In 22 (3) Joyner reports that there were "many more Christians being used by the evil one than in the army of Yah."
This suggests also that ALL of us who are men should check out very prayerfully where we REALLY stand with the Almighty! He reports that there are far more women and children in the army of Yah than there are men.
This observation should also be considered in the light of Isaiah 4:1-5:
"1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
4 When Yah shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning."
This passage is speaking about the end of the age when the Almighty shall cleanse the body of Believers by fire. It is my understanding that this period has now commenced but is at a very early stage. The Almighty has also indicated that verse 1 indicates that in these days there will be SEVEN times as many women as men in the body of true Believers. That is Believers as judged by the Almighty, NOT as we judge it.
Folks, this is so important. There is a massive body of wrong thinking in many religious groups regarding the position and the role of women. In Yah's sight, women are absolutely equal to men. They have a different role in life in terms what Yah envisaged as bearing children and raising children, but they are just as important and they have just as much rank. It is great sin to treat women differently to men in a negative way. I'm talking about not letting them go to school, not letting them go to university, forcing them to wear headscarves, speaking down to them, denying them access to the most senior jobs. It's just wrong folks.
If you're a man who thinks you're better than women and you at some level prefers to be a believer, I urge you to let go of the lie because if you don't and you make it to the judgment seat, you're going to get a nasty shock. If you make it into Heaven, you're probably going to get an even bigger shock because you're going to find there are many more women than men in Heaven.
Father has also shown me that many of the women are in spiritually desperate circumstances and desperately need the covering of a man who fears Yah. There are not nearly enough of such men to go round and most of the men who fall into this category do not understand their responsibilities. I have also found that it is psychologically, emotionally, and socially impossible for women raised under monogamy to share a man so the vast majority of believing women must either remain single and celibate or marry unbelievers, which Yah forbids. See http://www.ETIMin.org/SingleWomenBelievers7xmen.aspx for more information.
If you're a believing woman and you don't have a husband and you're looking for a believing husband, I have to tell you, you're probably not going to find one and there just aren’t a lot to go around. There are far more women than men in the body of true believers today. It's a great mistake and great sin to join yourself to an unbeliever, so please don't do that. If you can't find a man who is a true believer, who is at least as close to Father as you are, you're better to remain single.
There is a bit of a catch there and that is it is not forbidden for women to have sexual relationships with other women and I'm talking now about lifetime covenant relationships. So that is an option if you can find the appetite for it, which most women can't.
The Armour
In 22 (4) Joyner also reports that very few of those in the army of Yah had on all their armour and those that did had very small shields (faith).
In 23 (1) he reports that "few of those who were fully armed were adequately trained to use their arms."
This is a reference to Ephesians 6:10-18:
"10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of Yah, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of Yah, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of Yah:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" (KJV, adjusted)
This passage does NOT include the Mantle of Humility, which The Final Quest evidences is critically important.
Folks, each of these deal with spiritual disciplines if you like. The loins girt about with truth, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet shod with the gospel of peace. The shield, the emunah, the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, which is the Commandments of Yah, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. So it's important to understand that the Armour is a metaphor, disciplines and beliefs that we take on. So we need to be always speaking the truth and never lie. We need to always be seeking peace and not strife and conflict. We need to always walk in emunah, in faith, and by faith we will be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked one. "In the name of Yahooshua, I speak to that demon that has just manifested and I bind you now and I command you to go where Father Yah sends you."
The helmet of salvation, the awareness of your relationship with Yah that you are close to Him, sword of the Spirit, the Commandments, the Ten Commandments, to help as a two edged sword, dividing between truth and error. Pray it at all times. You can ask Father to teach your spirit to pray at all times 24x7x365. Very few people understand that but it is a gift that your spirit can be praying even while you're engaged in business, eating meals, family matters, etc.
It is really important to pray regularly for guidance to walk in the fullness of what this passage represents. It is also important to realise that components of the armour can be lost or damaged. This is what the metaphor tells us and is confirmed in "The Final Quest." I have recently added to the above “the mantle of humility” as per the visions.
See http://www.ETIMin.org/DemonicMastermindsDirect.aspx to better understand the forces of darkness against which the battle is directed.
Folks, it's easy to read The Final Quest at a superficial level, but it's important to go beyond that. Read The Final Quest understanding what I've just shared with you. Understand that when he sees people who lose their armour, they stop worrying about truth, they stop worrying about righteousness, etc. When they cast down the swords, they discard the Commandments of Yah. And that's what happens when people go off the mark, go off the rails and conversely people who have never been instructed in those things don't know them, and don’t do them.
In 33 (2) Joyner reports an incident in which the Spirit of the Almighty, embodied in the vision as "Wisdom," one of the seven Spirits of the Almighty, prevents Joyner from falling off the mountain of Yah and reminds Joyner of 1 Corinthians 10:12 "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (KJV)
"The Final Quest" offers a number of references to this verse in the context that when we become confident of our place with the Almighty or have a major victory, we are most likely to fall. The visions and metaphors in the book also indicate that such a fall can be dramatic.
It is possible to get really close to Father and it is possible to fall away overnight if you get into major sin or error or deception. The best protection I know about that is to pray regularly, preferably daily, "Father I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly so that I may serve you more perfectly. Amen." I currently pray that every day. I've prayed it on and off since 1997 when I learnt that I could pray that from The Final Quest. The judgments generally are quite manageable. If you get into fairly major sin, they could be quite painful. It's far better to be judged by Yah than to blunder along making mistakes and not realizing you've made the mistakes.
For example, it is indicated that pride can result in a person who has won a mighty victory for the Almighty being taken prisoner by the enemy immediately thereafter.
Pages 34 and 35 make particular reference to "The Father's Unconditional Love." This ties in with the passages cited previously in terms of walking in unconditional love. This is extremely important AND extremely challenging.
On page 45 reference is made to the Third Heaven and it is stated that it is wisdom to seek to know about the Third Heaven. It is also stated that there is much more to learn than can be learned in this life. This entire message is essentially about what is required in order to be an Overcomer in the era of the Third Heaven with some reference to what that looks like.
Folks, I'm going into detail with The Final Quest because the insights that I've gained through reading it repeatedly I believe are very powerful and I believe are largely from Yah. There are errors where he's off the mark, where he refers to the Canon of Scripture, where he worships Jesus as the Almighty, which is not. He still uses the names God, the Lord, Jesus and so forth, which really upsets Father, but basically he had the visions, he was taken into Heaven, they really are genuine. So I encourage you to read the book. The book is on the website. I've made commentary up to Part 2 of Chapter 5. If you go to the ETI Bible version page near the top of the menu on the website, under that is The Final Quest. Why is The Final Quest there? Because I regard it as of equal importance to the Bible. Folks, Father hasn’t stopped speaking to His people.
Pages 46 and 47 make particular reference to knowing both the love [chesed] and the severity of the Almighty where His severity is represented by His Judgments. We are advised to fear the Judgments of the Almighty AS WELL as knowing His love.
In various parts of "The Final Quest" reference is made to humility. It is repeatedly indicated that humility is NOT something that appeals to Human Beings and that we are prone to pride.
It is also indicated that without humility it is not possible to understand much about the Almighty and His Kingdom. It is also not possible to see clearly in the spiritual realm without humility. Pride blinds our spiritual eyes and blocks our spiritual ears.
I think humility is one of the most difficult things to consciously seek. I don’t think we have a real role model in this era of a truly humble person that we can learn from and asking Father to judge us is probably the best way.
From this information it appears to be really important to regularly pray "Father please humble me and cleanse me of all pride, self-righteousness and all other forms of self."
On page 53 it is pointed out that the armour of Yah, set out in Ephesians 6, cited above, does NOT cover the back. So, turning and running from the enemy in fear opens one up to defeat just as much as advancing into the enemy ranks in pride opens one up to defeat.
We are created to work together in teams, Yahooshua sent his followers out in two's, precisely for this reason, so that each could cover the back of the other.
This is one reason why a divided house cannot stand as stated in Matthew 12:25 "And Yahooshua {Jesus} knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:" (KJV, name adjusted)
A couple of key points here folks; it is so important not to go into a situation driven by pride, self-confidence, self-righteousness. You expose yourself to attack to come behind you. In the same way, turning around and running from a situation, you need to go into a situation in the name of Yahooshua and confront it boldly, firmly, in emunah, faith, with every aspect speaking truth, peace, righteousness, salvation, wielding the commandments of Yah as sharp two-edged sword, tearing down principalities, powers, thrones and dominions. The point about two by two is a major reason why strife between husband and wife or wives is so spiritually damaging and why submission of wives is so important. If a wife is arguing with her husband, how can she cover his back and how can he cover hers? If the husband is advancing in pride or the wife is retreating in fear, or vice versa, how can the house stand? The same observations apply to strife, pride, and fear in a business. Strife, pride, and fear in a ministry. Strife, pride, and fear in a nation, etc. This is why submission to leaders is so important.
On page 54 it is illustrated that advancing in pride can open the door for "strong delusion" and doctrines of Demons. The potential to fall at any time from any level is stressed.
On page 55 we are advised to inquire of the Almighty before making major decisions and to seek humility.
Directional prayers, such as those suggested above, prayed sincerely in faith out of recognition of one's own fallibility, are absolutely vital.
In 55 (5) it is stated that Yah is "closer to the homeless than to kings," that we only have "true strength" to the extent that we walk in the grace of Yah because the Almighty "gives His grace to the humble."
This is a reference to 1 Peter 5:5, quoted below in the context of 1 Peter 5:1-11:
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for Yah resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of Yah, that he may exalt you in due time:
Folks, I am very aware of the fact that I don't really know what humility is and in my own strength, I don't know how to walk in humility. I don't even know whether I'm particularly humble or not because nobody's expressed an opinion to me on that topic in quite some time. For many years I battled with pride and so I sort of understand pride and how it comes in but I'm working a business where I operate in a lot of assurance in terms of my knowledge and experience. I speak very authoritatively. Do I speak authoritatively in humility? I don't know. I don't think I operate in pride anymore. I certainly did many years in my life and there were many years in my life where I was pride enough to say that I was humble. I don’t go there anymore. The best suggestion I can make "Yah judge me severely, correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly." I encourage you to go for that.
In 55 (5) it is also stated that "no evil weapon" can penetrate the mantle of humility because nothing can overpower the grace of the Almighty.
This is an extremely important and challenging principle. The ONLY way one can manage to walk in true humility is to ask the Almighty to humble one, to judge one, to correct one, to guide one, etc.
It's very difficult. I don’t know what more to say – seek humility and seek humility by asking Yah to humble you. And then understand that it is probably going to be a little bit of an uncomfortable journey for some time. Depends on how quickly you learn. Joyner then goes on to speak about prophets, in other words spokesmen and spokeswomen. Prophet is another meaningless modern term. It relates to people who hear Yah and speak on His behalf.
Spokesmen and Spokeswomen {Prophets}
In 59 (2) it is stated that only those who receive prophets as prophets "can receive the prophet's reward" or the benefits of the services of a prophet. In other words, those who judge the man or woman to determine if he is a prophet are likely to miss it from the start. It is advisable to rather hear a woman or man who claims to be a prophet and subsequently prayerfully decide what to do with what they say than to pass a judgment on them and reject him or her. No matter what one's understanding may say about them or their "word."
The reference to prophets in 59 (2) is specifically in the context of receiving warnings of danger, error, etc.
Only if we realise how far we are from the Almighty and how imperfect all of our brethren in the faith are, can we choose to cease judging and rejecting others and let the Almighty speak to us, even through those who are imperfect.
This may be vital to turn us away from strong delusion or other serious error.
We may not like the message of the prophet, however, it may be critical in terms of where we spend Eternity.
I find myself fairly regularly, particularly on Facebook, encountering people where I offer comment based on what Yah has shown me, and they come back and say, but that's not in the Bible, to which my answer is that the Bible is 2000 years old and Yah has not stopped speaking to His people, so why should it be in the Bible? And then they reject the message and they reject the messenger. It has been happening since the very early days. There is a saying, there is a verse which says we're in the world, we're not of the world. The fact of the matter is that even amongst believers, the majority of believers do not understand Yah, they do not understand what's going on, and if somebody comes to them speaking in the name of Yah who actually has heard Yah, they are likely to reject the message and the messenger.
I said to someone the other day, you know, that you are part of the group of people who if Yahooshua were to turn up today, you would probably put him to death. It's sad. People don't know how to receive spokesmen and spokeswomen, prophets. They don’t know what to do with what they hear. I've had a number of instances where I've gone to somebody and said, Father says ABC, they go and do XYZ. They just don't get the importance of the message.
Motives
In 63 (2) Joyner states "I now think that most of the right things I did, I did for the wrong reasons, and many of the wrong things I did, I had good motives for."
Since first reading this passage, I continue to see how true this is.
It also creates great difficulty for others. They see us doing "right things" for "wrong reasons" and conclude that the Almighty did not speak to us or did not guide us or that we were doing the "wrong things."
Conversely, where people see we have "good motives" they conclude that what we are doing is "good" or "right."
Our tendency to do these things and judge others and the actions of others is a major hindrance to us doing the will of the Almighty AND leading others in the will of the Almighty.
So I shared earlier situation with the managing director of a medium-sized British company who has the situation with his brother where they are constantly at loggerheads. Brother took over the business, ran it into a 2 million pound loss, this brother took over the business from the other brother, turned it into 1.5 million pound profit and there is still politics going on about doing at this man's way or that man's way. It's very difficult to know who's doing the right things unless you're close to Yah and Yah is helping you.
In 63 (2), Joyner also states "The more I learn, the more unsure of myself I feel." The prophet that is speaking to Joyner then advises him in 63 (5) that what Joyner is experiencing is "the true faith." Joyner responds in 63 (6) that he is referring to "serious doubts."
The prophet responds that it is "wise to doubt yourself" and then goes on to state in 64 (1) that true faith depends on the Almighty, "not yourself."
In essence, I understand this to indicate that the more we move ahead in "confidence," the more likely that we are to mess up at some point. Where we are constantly praying to the Father, asking His guidance, the more likely we are to do His will. At least to some extent. Note that such prayers are NOT a blank cheque to storm ahead and do whatever we feel “led” to do. We have the final say, we are ultimately accountable for ALL our words and deeds.
This is so important. There is a lot of wrong thinking about being led by Yah, that Yah is just going to script things and set things up for you. It doesn't work that way. We are going to be judged for what we do on Earth and Yah is not going to take you over and take your life over and just direct you and what have you. He will give you guidance, He will open some doors, He will close some doors, He will give you favour, He will give you wisdom, but at the end of the day it's up to you what you do, every second of every day. Father has said to me on occasions "James, I don't know what you're going to do or say in the next minute. How can I know what's going to happen in the end of your life?"
He can give you indications under certain circumstances, but you're not a glove puppet. He said this to me several times "You are not a glove puppet. I'm not a performing seal." He will help you. There is an article on the website "The greatest error that is destroying strong believers," have a look at it.
This lack of self-confidence and total reliance on the Almighty, may be misinterpreted by others in all sorts of ways. Again, another reason not to judge others.
In 64 (3) it is stated that it is "together, not individually" that we are to know the secrets of the Almighty.
In 66 (4) it is indicated that "Spiritual maturity is always determined by our willingness to sacrifice our own desires for the interests of the kingdom, or for the sake of others." This is an essential part of the message of Yahooshua in Matthew 5 and 6 cited above. It is also central to many of the other passages, such as men loving their wives as Yahooshua loved the body of Believers and died for them, wives submitting to their husbands as Yahooshua submitted to those who killed him, etc.
In 66 (4) it is also indicated that, that which "requires the most sacrifice" will "always take us to the highest level."
So folks, if you have been seduced is the word that comes to mind by prosperity teaching, God wants you to prosper and just do this and do that and do this and you will be wealthy – it's not quite as easy as that. You need to do things. You need to make sacrifices. You need to put yourself in a place where you're doing something for Yah. Otherwise the Satanic forces will bless you and kid you and lead you to believe that God is doing it.
And if you're still using God and the Lord and Jesus, please stop. It's over 20 years since Yah made it very clear that those names were no longer acceptable, that the grace for their use had been withdrawn. You hurt Father grievously with your bad language. He is not God, a pagan entity. He is not the Lord, a pagan entity. He is not Jesus or Yahooshua is not Jesus, a pagan entity, please stop. The Almighty, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, Yahooshua. In other words, a vital point of seeking to qualify for a high throne for eternity is to be willing to make great sacrifices. This can look like letting go of deeply held beliefs, dealing with issues in our own lives that we would rather ignore, doing things we don't want to do or find uncomfortable or inconvenient, loss of popularity, loss of following, loss of family, loss of finances, physical suffering or any other form of sacrifice.
It's not easy, not because Yah didn't want it to be easy, but because there is this huge body of Satanic and Demonic entities who are out to get you if you are a truly committed believer. They are going to get you. They are going to get judgments against you. They are going to trip you up. They are going to try and kill you. They are going to try and break you down. They are going to try and lead you into pride, lead you into doing stupid things, lead you into wrong beliefs about Yah and the way He does things. So you're going to need to make some adjustments.
The Judgment Seat
On page 75 the Judgment Seat of the Anointing of Yah {Christ} is introduced. Refer to Romans 14:10-13:
"10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of the anointing of Yah {Christ}."
Christ is another meaningless English word. The Hebrew word translated Christ means anointed with the Spirit of Yah or one anointed by the Spirit of Yah. There are actually about four Greek words all of which are translated Christ, all of which relate to different aspects of the anointing of the Spirit of Yah.
So you will be judged by the Spirit of Yah that was in you as a believer.
"11 For it is written, As I live, saith Yah the Eternally Self-Existing , every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to Yah.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to Yah.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." (KJV, adjusted)
Folks, we will carry on next week with a lot more about the judgment seat. In my mind, the part about the judgment seat is probably the most important part of The Final Quest because I'm going to walk down that pathway one day and if you're a believer, you're going to walk down that pathway. So I encourage you to listen again next week. Get on the website. Read The Final Quest. It's really important stuff.
Wrapping Up
What is the state of YOUR relationship with the Almighty Creator?
I would like to ask you to critically examine where YOU are relative to the Almighty Creator.
Do you talk to Him constantly throughout the day and allow Him to lead you in every possible way?
Are you conscious of Him at all times?
Do you worship Him at every opportunity?
Do you count Him as your FRIEND?
Have you clearly and unambiguously heard HIM CALL YOU FRIEND?
If not, you're FAILING in your life purpose and you will be bitterly disappointed when you die.
I've talked about this in some length already now and I've given you a prayer that you can pray along with me. The recordings of these broadcasts should be published tomorrow. It's been live streamed to LinkedIn and YouTube. Search for "Where will you spend eternity part 14." It should be up there within the next 2 or 3 hours. It will be on my website by about lunch time Saturday, that’s UK time. It will be emailed to my mailing list about the same time. It will be posted to my contacts on WhatsApp about the same time. It will be on the ETI YouTube channel as well. Let's go back and just ask yourself, what do you want?

Work with me to make a way for Yahooshua to return in victory at the end of the Millennium and make his enemies his footstool.
I really, really hope to hear from you. You don't have to contact me. You don't have to tell anybody about your decision. This is between you and the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Just dip your toe in. Pray the prayer that I gave you a couple of minutes ago and then do what you find to do, read what you find to read. Go to the website. Just trust Father to lead you.

So I'm going to say goodnight to those of you who listen regularly. For those who are listening for the first time or the first few times, please hold on, I've got a few things I like to share with you.
In Closing
Who am I? – James Robertson, I have a Doctorate in Engineering and I am a retired Military Commander. I now work as a Management Consultant. I have over 31 years' experience of actively seeking to draw close to the Almighty following a dramatic encounter with Him on 12th March 1993 when He spoke to me audibly in a locked room and I knew for certain that He was real.
In learning about Father, I've applied my deep-seated aversion to failure borne out of an accident in early childhood coupled to my Engineering and Military training of rigour and preventing failure, to my seeking of knowledge about Father. This journey led to numerous supernatural experiences, prayers answered and clear communication with the Creator that forms the basis for what I teach in these programs.
See the Video “Why seek relationship?” for an overview of what I believe.
