Preamble
Good day!
The Almighty Creator Desires a Deep Personal Relationship with You! If you die as an Unbeliever, your spirit will live for a very long time as a disembodied Ancestor Spirit or Demon. The Creator has said regarding Unbelievers, "Why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do NOT Believe I exist?"
If you die as a Believer without any form of relationship with the Creator, you will end up in the Outer Darkness – a cold, black, terrible place with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (your teeth) – the Trash Heap of Heaven. Father has said concerning such Believers, "Why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great prestige and authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?"
In stark contrast, if you make a real effort to seek relationship with the Almighty, the rewards in the life to come are huge – a glorious resurrected body, great prestige, great authority, and a permanent close relationship with the Creator and with Yahooshua who you may mistakenly know as Jesus.
To put this all in context, The Almighty has said "I created Human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together. My greatest grief is that almost NO person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!"
My message today is the Essence of My Message regarding the Bible.
The Essence of my message regarding the Bible – Overview
The Bible is the most widely distributed book in all of history with the estimated volume printed being in excess of 5 billion copies as of 1995 translated into over 349 languages and is the best-selling book of non-fiction of all time. Notwithstanding these statistics relative to the matters of the Almighty Creator the Bible is a very limited book that does NOT deliver on what is claimed for it. This Broadcast summarizes the essence of my message regarding the Bible.
We start out by stating that the Bible IS a very Important History Book but NOT the “Word of God.”
We note that there are innumerable English translations and versions and mention four recommended versions.
It is stressed that the Bible DOES contain errors and that the “New Testament” is based on fragments of parchment and that the “Old Testament” is ALSO based on fragments.
It IS recognized that there WAS miraculous assistance in compiling the Bible and that IF you believe the Bible IS the “Word of God” Father Yah is FORCED to show up.
We note that the Bible provides little guidance regarding the Anointed life or life generally.
It is noted that the original texts reflect impression, opinions, prejudices, judgments, etc.
It is stated that the Creator says the Bible is “the Greatest Idol in the World Today.”
I present a postscript – the biggest error crippling Believers.
Finally we will look at the state of YOUR relationship with the Almighty Creator.
Introduction
Who am I? – James Robertson. I have a Doctorate in Engineering and I am a retired Military Commander. I now work as an IT project manager. I have over 29 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.
I was confirmed in the Anglican Church at the age of 13 and served as an Altar Boy for a number of years from the age of 19. Eventually, married to an Unbeliever, I became disenchanted with the hypocrisy in the Church and backslid to a point where I was not even sure the Almighty existed. In this backslidden state I embarked on an adulterous affair which, when it ended, left me desperate and suicidal. It was then that the Almighty spoke to me and I realized that my intellect had gotten me into a right mess and I chose to serve Him faithfully for the rest of my life.
In doing this I 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.

2022.07.03 The Essence of my Message Regarding the Bible (2021.04.06)
The Bible is the most widely distributed book in all of history with the estimated volume printed being in excess of 5 billion copies as of 1995 translated into over 349 languages – see https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/best-selling-book-of-non-fiction.
Notwithstanding these statistics relative to the matters of the Almighty Creator, the Bible is a very limited book that does NOT deliver on what is claimed for it. Following are the points which summarize the essence of my message regarding the Bible:
1. Very Important History Book
The Bible IS a very important history book about people who had relationships with the Almighty but nothing more. It traces some of the bloodline of Yahooshua and of some of the most highly anointed ones from about 4,500 years ago to about 2,000 years ago. It contains other elements such as Proverbs (wisdom), Psalms (songs), etc., and some “Prophetic” “foretelling” relating to the Almighty’s plans for future events.
That said, it is not the only anointed book. It's not the only inspired book. There's many, many more books available about the matters of the Almighty.
It's important to read the Bible a few times and just understand what's going on there. The important point to note is that these were ordinary people like you and me, filled with the spirit of Yah that did extraordinary things.
It's available to you to be so filled with the spirit of Yah and for you also to do extraordinary things. It's up to you to decide whether you're going to coast along with a meaningless low level relationship with the Almighty Creator, whether you're going to go all out to build a deep relationship with Him, get filled with His spirit so that you can do mighty works on His behalf. That's the thing.
Could you stand up to an apostate ruler today and say, I will not worship your idol even though you throw me into the fiery furnace, and then come out of the furnace alive. That's the sort of thing we're talking about.
2. NOT “Word of God”
Despite widespread belief that the Bible is “The Word of God” or “Word of Yah” or whatever this is false.
The Almighty says that around 2.5% of the book is inspired; the rest is simply the accounts of men and woman as recorded, transcribed, translated and shared over the years. The lack of inspiration is NOT an issue as most of the book is reasonably accurate historical accounts.
You don't need to be anointed and inspired to write an accurate history book. I've recently published an article, which is "Can you prove that the Bible is the Holy Word of God?" And in that, I'm going to what the implications would be if the Bible were the Word of God and I systematically analysed each of those attributes and evidence that on that basis the Bible is not The Word of God, it's simply a book.
And it's important to recognize once you get over the shock that the Bible is not the Word of God, and you just recognize it as a useful book, your whole paradigm expands, your whole world view around the matters of the Almighty expands, and you become open to Father speaking to you through innumerable other books, other people, and having your own deep relationship with Father and realizing that there's a huge amount more to serving Father than is portrayed in the Bible.
3. Innumerable English Translations and Versions
There are innumerable translations and versions of the Bible, particularly in English, reflecting the challenges of translating from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek as well as various people’s opinions as to what the original writers were seeking to communicate. These versions range from useful variants that are helpful to the reader to others that are in such gross error that it is dangerous to read them. Some authors have died prematurely as a judgment for their error.
The translations that I recommend are:
a. “The Amplified Bible” from Zondervan, available on Amazon – a very useful translation that seeks to capture the multi-faceted meaning of the original language – strongly recommended – still contains numerous errors in terms of language – God, The LORD, Jesus, Jesus is God, etc.
So I'll go on to a couple other versions in a minute, but the thing to understand is that translating these original scripts from their original languages into English or any other language, it's fraught with difficulty.
English is a relatively flat language compared to Hebrew, Arabic, and Greek. The result being if you do a word for word translation, you lose a whole lot of insight. And the Amplified Bible counters that by giving you multiple words to replace a single word of translation. So I strongly recommend the Amplified. It's a very readable and very useful translation. I've read it a few times.
b. The “King James Version” an early English translation that is regarded as the most accurate by many people as it is free of many of the doctrinal influences of later versions – contains the same errors as the Amplified.
c. For the Jewish Old Testament I recommend “The Living Torah” by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Living-Torah-Translation-Traditional-introduction/dp/0940118726, also the companion volumes “The Living Nach” Early Prophets at https://www.amazon.com/Living-Nach-Vol-Early-Prophets/dp/0940118297. It's an informative rendering of the first five books of the Bible and of the Early Prophets -- also contains errors.
Incidentally, both the Amplified and the King James are available as free PDFs to download, and they're also embedded in reference software like Bible Hub Online.
d. “The Scriptures” from the Institute of Scripture Research in South Africa, available on Amazon, also from Qodesh Books in South Africa. Also free electronically from https://isr-messianic.org/downloads/free-scriptures-downloads.html. In my opinion the most accurate translation but more difficult to read because it retains key Hebrew words which are uncomfortable, but worth reading once you have read the Amplified and the King James. There is still error with regard to “Messiah” versus “Anointed One” and some of the errors with regards to names have been rectified.
My standpoint is if you read those 4 volumes or the Living Torah is 3 volumes, if you read those 4 different books, you will have a pretty good handle on what's in the Bible. After that, you can move on.
I recommend that IF you have NOT yet read the Bible that you limit yourself to the above versions, read in the sequence given, one time each. Then move on to other reading, this will be more than sufficient. In reading the Bible take particular note of the highly anointed ones and where appropriate, ask Father to anoint you as they were anointed or to give you a relationship with Him as they had.
Beyond that there is no point in spending further time on the Bible other than a few passages that contain important principles most of which have been comprehensively illuminated by anointed Christian teachers over the last two centuries.
So there is a wealth of writings about the Almighty. There are writings in different religions, so there's the Quran example, there are books in yogis, books in Judaism and books in Islam and books in all sorts of places. And certainly within the religious establishment, which is where I sort of was grounded, there is a huge amount of written material. It's not all valid. Some of it has got serious errors. So you've got to ask Father to help you to discern what you should read and what you shouldn't read.
You need to get down on your knees with Him. Ask Him to help you when it comes to buying books, ask Him to help you when it comes to reading books. Sometimes He may tell you to buy a book, and He's only interested in 1 page in that book in order to just teach you something that you need to know.
So don't just slavishly buy books and read books. Ask Father to guide. You ask Him to help you.
4. Bible DOES Contain Errors
Contrary to popular belief the Bible DOES contain errors. For example the death of Judas Iscariot is described completely differently in Matthew and Acts in the New Testament. Two conflicting reasons are given for King David numbering Israel, etc. These are glaringly obvious errors. There are websites that pick holes in the accuracy of the Bible and I choose NOT to reference them because this is NOT the point. My point here is simply to say that the belief in certain quarters that “the Bible is without error” are provably false and should be rejected.
My KEY point here is simply that, as with any other book, read with your critical faculties engaged and do NOT just take it for granted, think about it, pray about it, ask for guidance and if it really does NOT make sense, park it and do NOT take it on board.
So the Bible, as I said earlier, is actually very, very incomplete. If you try and build your whole doctrine, your whole mindset based on that one book, you're massively constrained, and you're not open to hearing Father tell you things that are either not in the book or that indicate some parts of the book are not accurate.
So I would encourage you just to take the book and say, "Father, I choose to believe this is no longer your word, or not your word. I'm going to put it on one side, and I ask you to show me what to read, what videos to watch," and so forth.
5. “New Testament” Based on Fragments of Parchment
It is important to also be aware that the so-called “New Testament” originated from fragments of parchment from diverse sources.
Of more relevance, many years ago I came across a report that indicated that there were diverse manuscripts on which the so-called “New Testament” was based such that differences between versions of source manuscripts to the tune of around 1,250 had been found. I have not found this reference again and there are indications that this information has been suppressed.
The key point is that the New Testament is NOT nearly as reliable as it is portrayed to be by some. If you want to investigate further see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_New_Testament_manuscripts and the associated links.
Note that overall the New Testament texts are remarkably reliable given their history. This is NOT a problem once you regard the Bible as a collection of historical texts of some value and cease trying to force it to be “The Word of God and without error.”
So if you dig into it, you will find that the manuscripts on which the New Testament is based are jagged chunks of parchment. And if you read critically, you will realize that the text, the English text is also jagged in the sense that there are incomplete paragraphs, incomplete sentences, incomplete concepts; it's all bits and pieces cobbled together.
And do you actually think that that's really all that the Almighty could do to communicate with you? I think not.
6. “Old Testament” Based on Fragments
Less clearly known is that the so-called “Old Testament” is also largely based on fragments with all the so-called books prior to the exile to Babylon in about 597 BC being based on fragments.
Consider the context to this statement. In about 586 BC the people of Judah in Israel went into exile in Babylon on foot taking what they could to survive. The religious texts were recorded on large scrolls that they were unable to take with them. So, they took with them fragments or, when they were able to in Babylon they wrote down passages from memory.
If you read these passages attentively you will see that they are made up of assemblies of fragments. So, once more, we find that the Bible is NOT particularly reliable as a document and should be read with care and with prayer. Note that overall the texts are remarkably reliable given the history. Again this is NOT a problem once you regard the Bible as a collection of historical texts of some value and cease trying to force it to be “The Word of God and without error.”
Try and put yourself in the position of those people in Jerusalem when Jerusalem was about to fall. They are going to walk some many miles, I think it's over a thousand miles, in prison convoy with the few belongings that they can manage to scrabble together and carry on their backs and maybe the odd cart or whatever, driven by hostile soldiers.
And the Bible of the time, the Torah, on massive scrolls, they didn't take those with them. Think about it.
7. Miraculous assistance in compiling the Bible
As a consequence of persecution and people going into exile in the centuries after Yahooshua, the available writings were widely distributed so that those who came to assemble the Bible had to go to some lengths to collect and collate as much information as possible. At this time the Satanic and Demonic Realm was doing all they could to eliminate all knowledge of the matters of the Almighty and so there were instances of Divine intervention and favour with regard to assembling the texts. Because of this Divine intervention the idea that the resulting collection of text was “The Word of God” found its origin. As noted above, this belief is unfounded and erroneous.
So it's important to understand the overall spiritual context here. When Yahooshua came, the world was a mess, Israel was a mess. Yahooshua touched the lives of a small number of people. After he died, a somewhat greater number of people were touched.
And very quickly, they fell into apostasy and error, they were persecuted. So bits were written up by hand, copied and copied and copied, translated from Hebrew into Greek. The original Hebrew writings were largely destroyed. And so by the time that somebody decided to collate all of this into a book, it was quite a challenge. And Father intervened to help with that because he wanted to preserve that basic information. But then the satanic and demonic turned it around and said, "Okay, we'll just diminish the value of the book."
8. IF you believe the Bible is the Word of Yah He is FORCED to show up
Beyond this it is important to understand that if you believe the Bible IS the Word of God or Word of Yah and go to it with that expectation and exercise your Faith around it that the Almighty is obliged to show up in response to your Faith. This does NOT prove that the Bible is the Word of God; it simply proves the Almighty honours your Faith. This is something that Yah calls “the force of Faith.” A LOT of what people claim the Bible says is NOT what the Bible says but what Yah has said to people in response to their questions about what the Bible says.
So this is really important to understand. If you look at a lot of teachings of so-called Bible based teachings, they will take a verse here and a verse there and a verse there. And then they will produce quite frequently a whole book of 50, 100, 200 pages, based on their experience and their interpretation of what those few passages say because they are filled with the Spirit of Yah, they have been given inspiration. They've drawn from other sources, and they've built a whole story. And they attribute that to the sort of magic of the Bible, but it's not the Bible.
It's the Spirit of Yah working with what they've read in the Bible, working with what they're able to hear from Him, working with what they hear from others, working with what they read from others, working from what others say. And just a little bit was triggered by a few key words in the Bible.
9. Little Guidance regarding the Anointed Life or Life Generally
It is important to recognize that the bulk of the Bible is simply historical account, there are only limited passages that provide guidance on living the Anointed Life or, for that matter, any guidance on living life generally. To say the Bible is “the Handbook to Life” as some claim, is therefore fallacious. This is NOT serious once you let go of wrong beliefs. There are numerous other reasonably accurate history books and modern books with guidance on most topics.
The art here is to pray appropriately and ask Father questions constantly and then listen and take note attentively.
So what am I saying? If you look at the entire ambit of your life in Earth, both the portion of your life that speaks to you as a believer, and the portion of your life that speaks to you just as a human being who is seeking to live life on this planet. Earn a living, raise a family, have a place to stay. There's almost nothing in the Bible about almost everything that you will encounter day to day.
You can lift fragments, as I said a minute ago. You can go and pick out a verse here or couple of verses there, and they will point you in some general direction which the Spirit of Yah is then able to elaborate for you.
But, per se, in the Bible, it really isn't very much. Most of it is just historical account. That's all it is. And then you can ask questions about why did Yahooshua do this? Why did Isaiah do that? Why did Jeremiah do this? And the answer is because of a relationship with the Almighty, because they were filled with the Spirit of the Almighty.
10. Original Texts Reflect Impression, Opinions, Prejudices, Judgments, etc.
The original texts of the Bible reflect the impressions, opinions, prejudices, judgments, mistaken beliefs, etc., of the writers and those they wrote about. This applies to ALL writings. So a lot of vengefulness, anger, killing, etc., is more a reflection of the anger and prejudice of the individual human beings being described or writing the text and very little a reflection of the TRUE desires of the Almighty Creator. Fundamentally Yah the Eternally Self-Existing is loving and does NOT desire violence and ugly behaviour. That is the preserve of fallen men!
Note that very few people REALLY understand the Anointing so virtually all writings about Anointed Ones miss the point at some level. I have experienced this in my own life. I have experienced much under the Anointing with Inspiration and I see how most people, even people close to me do NOT understand what I am saying much of the time.
To illustrate my point – we read about Noah and the Flood but there is no record of the private conversation between Noah and the Almighty Creator that led to the Flood. There is also no record of the Ice-Comet impact that caused the flood because no human being survived to tell the tale. The same applies to many other situations. So the Bible and, for that matter, every third party account of the conduct of highly Anointed Ones at best are superficial and at worst totally miss the point.
So if you read carefully the Gospel about Yahooshua, there is significant lack of understanding about what was really going on there. It's the interpretation of an observer who doesn't understand fully how Yah works.
And then we build the whole thesis around the inaccurate and incomplete observations of a handful of people and half the time, we don't even know who wrote it. There's nothing to say, "I Matthew hereby testify that I was close to Yahooshua and I observed all these things, and I've written them down, and it's a hundred percent accurate, so help me, Yah." That’s not like it, folks. There's nothing like that anywhere in the Bible so why put that on the Bible?
11. Creator says the Bible is “the Greatest Idol in the World Today”
So, we see that the Bible is NOT what is claimed for it. At best it is a useful history book, nothing more. However, it has been hyped up to be the most important book on the planet to the point where, as I said above, more than 5 billion copies have been printed as of 2015.
You may ask how this is if the book is NOT what is claimed for it. The brutal truth is that the Satanic and Demonic have encouraged distribution because it is such a limited and distracting book and because of the lies that are propagated about it being the Word of God, Scripture, etc. The Forces of Darkness have very successfully energized Human Beings to use the Bible for evil.
The situation is so serious that Father Yah, the Almighty Creator now HATES the Bible and says that it is “The Greatest Idol in the World today.”
Bible Schools, Bible Study, etc., are largely distractions that get in the way of the Almighty’s desire for a deep personal relationship with every human being. Most Believers and all Unbelievers who refer to the Bible have relationships with their Bibles instead of seeking a DEEP personal relationship with the Creator and for this reason He HATES it!
12. Creator has NOT Ceased Speaking Today
In considering all of the above it is vital to recognize that the Creator has NOT ceased speaking to human beings today, let alone 2,000 years ago, see https://www.ETIMin.org/yah-did-not-cease-speaking-2-000-years-ago. There is NO “Canon of Scripture.”
For this reason it is manifest error to believe that modern writings by Anointed writers are any less inspired or Anointed than the Bible. In fact, I know of a case of at least one modern Emissary {Apostle} who has been given major revelation and seriously discounted it because they did NOT consider their revelation to be as important as the Bible. Gross Error!
This particular individual had substantial visions. He was slack in recording those visions and in the preface to his book, he says, well, he knows that what he experienced is not to have the same authority as the Bible and therefore people should have caused to darn it. Tragic! Man, given the most dramatic visions of this age, of almost any age, and he discounts them because he worships the Bible.
Do you have any idea how tragic that is? Do you have any idea how sad it is? Do you have any idea how frustrating it is for the Almighty and for Yahooshua who set this thing up for this man?
13. The Quran is MORE Anointed and should be read
It is important to note that the Quran is MORE Anointed than the Bible and, for the most part, more accurate. The main difference between the Quran and the Bible is that the Quran condemns the Christians and Jews for worshipping their books (Bibles) and the Christians for worshipping Isa {Jesus} (Yahooshua). That said, many Muslims have fallen into the trap of worshipping the Quran and Mohammed. I strongly recommend that you read the Quran at least once. Discount the calls to violence just as you should discount the calls to violence in the Bible.
Beyond that there are a huge number of other books available to read and apply – see https://www.ETIMin.org/important-information.
Folks, my whole website is, I believe, a useful resource, Father has said it is. There's over 2400 articles, over 1000 webpages. It's indexed, the search facilities, discussing a wide range of topics. If you've got questions about the things of the Almighty, you may well find the answer there. There's a series of many options at the top, Google search, article search, keyword cloud, table of contents, where you may well find what you're looking for if you do a little bit of looking around.
And I testify that Father has said that most of those writings are anointed. Most of them have some level of inspiration. So worth spending time on the website. There's a set of books that you can download, menu option towards the bottom of the menu, where you can download 15 PDFs, which contain all my writings from 1998 or so to about May 2019.
I have written much more about the Bible. See https://www.ETIMin.org/the-bible and child pages.
The www.EndTimeIssueMinistries.org website contains over 1,000 webpages of information on the Anointed Life and life generally mostly written at a moderate level of Anointing and Inspiration. Most of this material up to May 2019 is available in 15 books for download at no charge at https://www.ETIMin.org/compilation-of-most-writings. There are over 2,400 articles in the Articles Database at https://www.etimin.org/articles.
I encourage you to take the Bible off any pedestal that you may have placed it on and place it at the same level of reverence and esteem as other anointed books you may have. Please feel free to email me for more information or to discuss this material.
Folks, the key point here, ultimately, to cut to the chase is Father wants a deep personal relationship with you. And that means He doesn't want you to have a deep personal relationship with a book, with your pastor, your imam, your rabbi, your priest, your yogi. He wants you to have a deep personal relationship with Him.
So put the book on one side. Understand it's a useful history book. And then go and read other things, which will help you to know more about the Almighty, draw closer to the Almighty. There's a lot of good material on YouTube. There's a webpage on important videos. There's a whole lot of videos there on YouTube that you can look at. There's a huge amount of information available, folks.
So just to wrap up, I've got a little bit time left over, so I'm going to touch on the article I spoke about earlier.
2022.11.07 Can YOU prove that the Bible IS The Holy Word of God?
I recently wrote an article titled “2022.11.07 Can YOU prove that the Bible IS The Holy Word of God?”
This is available at https://www.eti-ministries.org/can-you-prove-that-the-bible-is-the-holy-word-of-god.
Main sections are:
A deductive approach – own experience, how I approach understanding these things today.
My Challenge to YOU to prove that if you believe that Bible is the word of God, prove it to me! Prove to the people around you. I've had an interesting dialogue with a man who's accused me of all sorts of things in the last few weeks on the basis of some of my articles. And I eventually turned around and I said to him, can you prove to me the Bible the Word of God? Well, silence. He's not answered me, because he can't prove it's the word of God because it's not the word of God.
I Once Believed this to be True.
What is meant by “The Holy Word of God?”
There's a detailed examination of 7 lies about the Bible that are implicit in the Holy Word of God.
What IS True about the Bible?
I plan to broadcast this message in due course, but it's on the website, "Can you prove that the Bible is the Holy Word of God?"
Folks, it's huge. If the Bible is not the Word of God and you believe it is the Word of God, you're believing a lie and all liars will have time of judgment in Hell. You will be tormented in Hell for a season if you believe the Bible is the Word of God and it's not the Word of God.
So you need to make sure that you get this right. You need to check it out and pray what you need to pray. There's a webpage there "What to do if you don't agree with me." Have a look at that.
Postscript – the biggest error crippling Believers
As a codicil to this article, please read https://www.eti-ministries.org/biggest-error-crippling-mature-anointed-believers.
YOU are NOT a Glove Puppet! Father is not manipulating you to live your life.
Yah is NOT going to take control of your life as so many people teach and believe! I believed this for years. It's a fundamental teaching in much of the Christian church. It's just not true, folks.
Yah created YOU to take dominion over the forces of darkness!
Yah created YOU to exercise your intellect and ability to survive and thrive on Earth NOT for Him to live your life for you! You're not in some sort of predestined script, walking out something that was planned, thousands of years ago, and that you have no control over. It's just not that way folks.
YOU will determine your destiny when you die, it is a function of what YOU CHOOSE to believe and CHOOSE to do and HOW WELL YOU do it!
So prosperity requires that you work hard, sensibly and effectively to earn your living!
I keep getting begging letters from people. We're living in poverty. Please help us, send money, pray for money. No. Get your life right with Father. Ask Him for wisdom, pray, fast, pray, spend days seeking Him.
He wants to help you, but you have to take the initiative. You have to take the lead. You have to go out there and get a job and earn your living. Stop sitting back waiting for God to drop money in your lap. It's not going to happen.
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 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 can't stress this enough. The only only only only reason that this universe exists, that this solar system exists, that the sun exists, that the planet earth exists, that the moon exists, that the plants and animals exist, that you and I exist is to have a deep personal relationship with the Almighty Creator. He was lonely. He did all of this to have friends. So if you're not His friend, what's the point of your life? It's that brutal.
If you die and you're not His friend, you're going to come before the judgment seat and you're going to realize that at some level you wasted your life. You can become His friend. You can end up for eternity on a high throne with great authority, great prestige, or you can end up in the outer darkness, weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth because you didn't have a relationship at all, or if you don't believe you can end up as a demon in a casket in your grave. Please think about it.

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.
Folks, it doesn't matter who you are. All the stuff about exclusivity in relationship with Father is nonsense.
It doesn't matter whether you're Jewish or Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Baháʼí or Yogi or whatever, you can become a friend of Yah. It doesn't matter whether you're a witch or a satanist or a warlock, you can become a friend of Yah. He will set you free. He will deliver you. He will help you change. He wants to become your friend. He wants you to become His friend, and He will go out of his way to help you get there.
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, tall or short, fat or thin, wealthy or poor, educated or uneducated, blond, blue eyed, black hair, brown eyes, anything in between, African, Asian, whatever. It doesn't matter. He wants you to become His friend. You can become His friend.
There are all sorts of articles on the website about becoming His friend. Dip in there, make a decision, say, "Father, I want to become your friend." I challenge you to do that tonight.
Thank you so much.
Goodnight!
