Judgments! – Seek the Lord (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/28/26 Recently, we have received some very serious warnings from the Lord. This first one is from Byron Searle, and he called it:   ROCK THE WORLD!!  Byron Searle, 10/24/26 Link (David’s notes in red) Matthew 24:4-5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  Hear ye the word of the Lord - THE WORLD WILL ROCK TO AND FRO - not just in America, but the whole world!  While the lazy church listens to the false prophets speak about My gathering (trying to predict the rapture), the world laughs at My Great Name.  AMERICA - who REFUSES TO REPENT - do you think you are ready to come home? Your hearts are cold, and soon you will feel My judgments ROCK YOUR WORLD. Will you then cry out for forgiveness, or will you go on social media and curse Me? Will you curse and swear because you know Me not? My anger has been kindled at the foolishness of the church.  PREPARE NOW, CHURCH - FOR I AM GOING TO ROCK YOU - SHAKE YOU - AND SLAM YOU DOWN. Those without strong foundations will crumble and flee - leaving only the prayer warriors on their knees.  Then the Lord gave me the following vision: Upon hearing these words spoken, I instantly found myself standing in an unknown location. I was facing a very tall mountain, which was directly in front of me in the distance. As I continued to watch the mountain, I saw it suddenly become extremely bright at the very top. Then out of nowhere, a round, dark brown object appeared at the mountaintop. I watched this object begin to slowly roll down the side of the mountain. From the distance I was at, the object appeared small, like the size of a marble.  I was then suddenly drawn in closer towards the mountain, and was able to clearly see that this object was not marble sized at all, but a giant boulder that was beginning to roll down the mountainside.  I was then drawn in much closer, and now I'm now able to see a town located at the bottom of the mountain. I continued to watch closely and I could see that the massive boulder was on course for a direct hit on this town. As I look closer at the town, a church comes into my view. It's a very large church with a giant cross on the front lawn. My attention is again drawn back to the mountain, and I now see the giant rock picking up speed, causing it to roll and bounce wildly down the mountainside. Then suddenly, I see the rock take one huge bounce, flying high into the air and crashing directly on top of the church building, completely smashing it and flattening it to the ground. After a few seconds, I watched the rock continue on rolling and bouncing throughout the town, hitting every single church and flattening them all. (Luk 20:18 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.) I stood there in shock and cried out, "WHY DID THE ROCK CRUSH ALL OF THE CHURCHES??!!" I then heard these words spoken, “JUST WAIT.” I looked back at the first church that had been CRUSHED and could see a very faint light begin to SHINE out from among the rubble. At the same time, I began to hear a faint sound of singing. As I continued to watch and listen closely, I heard the singing and worshipping growing LOUDER. I then saw the light growing bigger and BRIGHTER. I looked around at the other churches that had been CRUSHED and saw and heard the same thing happening with all of them.  SOON, ALL I COULD HEAR WAS SINGING, PRAISING, WORSHIPPING, AND GLORIFYING GOD! THE LIGHT GREW AND GREW UNTIL IT APPEARED TO BE AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN! (or Son)  It was so amazing to watch as it grew and spread throughout the land. Then suddenly, in an instant, everything stopped. All went dark. I heard no more sound, just silence. The vision ended. I prayed and asked the Lord what I had just seen. I heard Him say,  My son, the WARNINGS ARE ENDING, and NOW THE ROCKING WILL BEGIN. Thus saith the Lord - I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT TO ME. MY GLORY WILL SHOWER THEM, AND MY NAME WILL NOT BE MOCKED. (the latter rain anointed of the Lord Man-child ministry. Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.) The pagan church will now receive its just reward - the CRUSHING HAND OF GOD bringing to an end all of its wickedness. My Remnant, who I have separated and tested in the fire, will now GO FORTH TO LEAD My lost sheep in truth. They will SHOUT MY NAME, and many will repent and turn to Me.  FIRE will fly out of their mouths and HEALINGS out of their hands. They will not want of anything, for I WILL BE ALL THEY REQUIRE.  My mighty Remnant who have not bowed their knee to anyone or anything are NOW READY TO STAND AND BRING IN THE HARVEST!  I say, REPENT NOW, those who are still in the churches - for the ROCKING HAS BEGUN!  REPENT NOW and come out, and I will comfort you. Do not listen to the false prophets who lead My children away from Me and take My Glory for themselves.  I AM COMING SOON.(“As the latter rain”) Amen. Lord Jesus While I was listening to Bryron in the video, I remembered this story about:    A Priest Killed by Falling Cross 10/20/26 Link Recently, a priest was killed by a falling cross as he stood at the altar celebrating Mass. Worshippers rushed to help him in a ceremony that was being livestreamed on social media Saturday from a Catholic church in Ecuador. Father Patricio Sánchez of Perpetuo Socorro Church in Guayaquil was leading the service when a giant crucifix broke from a wall directly behind him and crashed onto him, to the horror of witnesses. Father Sánchez died of his injuries that same day.  Just moments earlier, he spoke about the inevitability of death and encouraged his congregation to spend less time on their phones and more time in the present. “It's part of life. Everything that happens is always part of life. And we priests are always ready for whatever God has in store.” A mass was held in his memory the following day, where people lined up to celebrate his life.   Meanwhile the Enemy is at Your Gate  Handmaid of the Most High, 10/24/26  (Received late July 2026) (David’s notes in red) Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.  Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.  Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.  Matthew 7:16–20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  Mark 4:21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? Matthew 10:32–33 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.  Dear Brothers and Sisters, Hear the voice of the Lord; He is speaking loud and clear!  He speaks-  “Children, you have forsaken me for filth. You honor me with your lips but your heart is far from Me! (Matthew 15:8, Mark 7:6) Do you not have the ability to view nude bodies at the tap of a keystroke? Does your favorite TV series speak unendingly about sex acts and hook-ups? How many of my very own children post their images for Tinder, Grinder and other sites in order to “meet and greet”? How is it that you do not trust Me with the most important choices of your life? Do you not know that those whose pictures you access and analyze are figments of your imagination? How many make jokes of the types of people that “turn up” at their date to be totally different than what they were “sold”? But you are not to be outdone with just these “opportunities”. No, some of you join a gym or go to sports events or children’s games with hopes of “catching a live one”. Why is it you are so concerned about the things of this life that you neglect the next? How many hours do you spend time buying clothes that accentuate your best features and special haircuts and highlights and all the other accoutrements, so you look like a “good catch”? Did any of the books that I’ve written tell you to do these things? Have I not spoken many times about having a good character and good reputation as the focus to those who follow My Way? My teachings?(Proverbs 31) Why are you so busy with the things that distract - boat; house; car; vacations; meditation; and following man’s teaching and “learning the laws of attraction”? Why is it that those things that soon pass away when illness strikes or financial loss derails your future plans, are studied and consulted about with great passion? But when evil strikes and your life is suddenly upended and your health or someone you love dearly is changed for the worse, you have little power or resources to actually make a difference. Will you then come to Me for help? Now, when the limitations of this life become obvious, it is then that you seek My answers. For some, this situation will be the clarion call; they soon realize that they have no true buffers or spiritual depth to face wh

Wielding the Sword of the Spirit (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/25/26 I want to share a revelation Dan Clark sent to me many years ago, and I think it'll be a blessing. His pastor friend, Tom Lyerla received this revelation, and it’s called: Who Is Worthy to Wield the Sword? Tom Lyerla - 04/13/2008 (David's notes in red) I have never experienced anything like this in my life. This open vision was in full color. When I could not stop crying, I knew that the Lord had downloaded this to me for a reason. I do not have a full understanding of this vision as of yet. I pray He will release to me the revelation of it. I was sitting in church just before service, as everyone was praying. All of a sudden, I started to cry. Then I saw this shiny object coming down from Heaven, as if it were a rocket trying to burn itself through the atmosphere. It burned throughout the sky until it struck into the earth. This huge, blinding light was now a huge sword stuck in the earth. (This parable is clearly using a well-known novel written by T.H. White in 1938 called “The Sword in the Stone”. It was about a young boy named Wart (sounds like a lowly lifestyle, right?) He was a wart who grew up in medieval England and befriends a magician named Merlin. Of course, God does not agree with this part, but He uses things that are in people's minds to speak to them, especially about the positive part of this revelation, to tell a larger story, as his name implies. Wart was nothing to brag about, but was trained by Merlin to be wise and valiant and to ultimately take his place as king.  In the story, a test was given to the people of England. A sword was found lodged in an anvil and stone with the inscription written: “Who so Pulleth out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England”. Because of “strength, knowledge and maturity,” Wart pulled the sword from its lodging place to become King Arthur. The symbolism in this vision is that one will be found worthy to become King and have the authority to judge by the sword, which we know to be the Word of God, according to Heb.4:12-13 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do. And the Sword is the Word of God, and the Lord Himself, Who sees not as man sees, but looks on the heart. He is the Judge. And we are warned not to be the judge. But I believe that this sword represents the authority to judge by the Word. Wart was not high nobility but from humble beginnings, which gave him a heart for the people. We also know that man is forbidden to judge under penalty of being judged by his own sword. Let me read Mat.7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. So the warning is that man has no right to judge, at least in the Kingdom of God. Man doesn't have the right to judge his fellow man. Only God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, and the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, able to divide and to discern even the inside of a man. Now the Lamb is the One Who has been counted worthy to judge and He can judge through humble people like Wart.. Rev.5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof. So we know that Jesus, Who is the Word of God, has the right to judge. And He always has from the beginning. But as we saw in Matthew 7, He is warning man that you don't have the right to judge. Nobility only votes for nobility. Rev.5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, We know that Jesus was found worthy to judge by opening the judgment seals in Revelation, and that the first seal is the white horse rider who is the Man-child company of first-fruits, through whom He will judge. The first seal He opened is Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. The first judgment released by the Lord is the white horse rider. I believe, and I've taught in the past, that the white horse rider is neither Christ nor Antichrist, but Christ in a body of the first fruits that we call the Man-child. And Moses filled that position in a parallel time in history. He brought judgment upon the world to loose God's people from bondage. And Jesus Himself, in His day, was the Man-child who brought judgment because of the words that He spoke. The word divides. The word decides. We're going to be judged according to His Word, as He said Himself.  Continuing with Tom’s revelation. Many people saw the sword come down to the earth. Then I saw pastors with signs around their necks approaching it. They pushed and shoved at each other, trying to reach the sword to be the one to pull it from the ground. The signs around their necks read the words PRIDE, ARROGANT, CONTROLLING, COMPROMISE, GREED, etc. As the pastors touched the sword's handle, they fell over DEAD! Some to the left and some to the right, creating a huge pile of dead people everywhere.  So, he released the judgment by releasing the Word. These pastors have not overcome to be used of the Lord to judge, and when they do judge, they judge themselves. I then saw the light moving towards a large crowd of dark warriors that were attacking this person who had attained the sword. I could not see who was carrying the sword, but what I could see was a multitude of people following the person who was carrying this great sword. That reminds you a lot of what Romans 2 says. In Jesus' day, some people thought they were wise enough to judge, and they judged Him and His disciples, and they all died. You say, but they didn't die; they persecuted them. They brought them to death. Yes, but they died. In the Kingdom, death is spiritual as well as physical. They died; they became corrupt and were reprobated. They couldn't see; their hearts were hardened, their eyes were closed, and their ears were closed, and they died.  Rom.2:1 Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. The Lord is the Judge. So, he's saying that if a person is found to be unworthy to be used of the Lord to judge, and they judge others, then they die because they are condemned with the same condemnation that they bring upon others, because they're still sinners, right?  Let me read the previous chapter so you get a better understanding of it. Rom.1:28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, (Sounds similar to these pastors, doesn't it?) inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them. Back to Rom.2:2 And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practice such things. (Meaning that a man could be finding mercy, forgiveness, and grace from God, but when he judges his neighbor, and he's not worthy, he loses that grace, and he receives the condemnation that he would have gotten or should have gotten all along.)  3 And reckonest thou this, O man, (Notice he emphasizes the word man, because we are sons of man and sons of God, are we not? But the man part of us is forbidden to judge. Only the God part of us is capable of judging. People like to imply that it's God when many times it's just them. We need to be very careful of that because if we let the old man speak and judge, he's going to bring judgment upon us.) who judgest them that practice such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (We should appreciate God’s mercy and grace shown towards us for not judging us for the things that we do that are contrary to His Word. When a person judges another in the flesh, God is saying that they bring condemnation upon themselves for their own sins.) 5 but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; (So, He shows us that the person who judges in the flesh is treasuring up wrath in the day of wrath. There's a time when payback is co

Water of Death and Life (Audio) David Eells, 10/21/26 Many are Dying in Shallow Christianity Bob Aicardi - 12/19/1999 (David's notes in red) Many ministers actually do the work of the devil and the old man by taking the sword away from the saints that they need to conquer the old man. Because of this, the old, carnal man conquers the spiritual man who becomes “twice dead and plucked up by the roots”, as Jude said. One must be born again in order to be “twice dead.” Bob says: In a dream, I was looking for a close friend who was in trouble. I called out to her with a sense of life-threatening urgency. I walked into an enclosed building and found a pool inside. As I approached the pool, I saw nothing but bodies floating face down. All who were in the pool were dead; no one in the building was alive. (The pool of apostate Christianity.) I proceeded to the next door, which connected to a second building. Again, inside were corpses in the shallow end of the pool with living people in the deep end. (Again, some dead but some learning to live.) A class of instruction was being conducted on “how to commit suicide” by what appeared to be religious leaders. I saw my friend taking instructions from the pastors, and she was preparing to end her life, like those who were already face down in the shallow end. (Shallow water of the Word Christianity.) I was angered, and I walked straight up to her, taking her face into my hand, gazing into her eyes, and saying, “Don't you want to follow Jesus?” I then said, “You are confused. This is not the way of Jesus”. Then I woke up. Each pool represents the experience of the Word represented by water, as in Eph.5:26. Such is the life of believers in that particular sect or pool of Christianity. To spiritually die in the shallow waters is to not experience enough of the Word to bring death to the old man and life to the new man. The pastors who do not teach anything, but a popular, flesh-pleasing word are killing God's people at the hands of the devil and their own flesh. Come out from among them and find the Words of Life, or you will die with them. (Joh.6:66)(notice the number 666) Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. (Many do this.) (67) Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? (68) Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. As with Bob's dream, I had one many years ago where the preachers were killing Christians, who were face down in the water of the Word.   Carnal Ministers Killing with the Word David Eells In a night vision, I found myself in front of a large church. I walked through the front door, and standing in the foyer was an “old man” in a suit. I avoided this old man as if he were a rattlesnake and went into the sanctuary, so-called. I saw a large double sink, full of water. In the water were babies; they were face down and most were dead. I quickly went to the sink, picked up a baby, and held him up in the air. He spoke to me, saying, “Thank God, I knew He was going to send someone”. Interpretation: I was made to know that there are many carnal ministers like the old man in Eph.4:22; Col.3:9,10, who are trying to wash up the people of God, the babies in the sink. They are using the letter of the Word or water in Eph.5:26, and are instead killing them. (2Co.3:6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The letter of the Law that is taught by the Pharisees of today gets our eyes on our own earthly ability or inability, face down to the earth. Many are they that sit under the condemnation of the Law, which is a powerless false gospel, only to give up in their failure to please God and go back into the world or die on a church pew. We cannot pick ourselves up by our bootstraps or be saved by our own self-will. This is an understanding that is from the earth, face down. Seeking this is to be “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” that sets free. Jesus purposely spoke in parables so that only those who have eyes to see and ears to hear the heavenly things would understand as in Mat.13:10-14. These seek a knowledge that is born from above or face up on Jesus. (Mat.16:17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. As always, those whose understanding is “face up” will be fought by those whose understanding is “face down”. The good news of the promises is the power of God given freely to save the one who believes as Rom.1:16 says. These promises get our eyes on God's ability and provision or face up. These promises give faith as in Rom.10:17. This causes us to receive grace as in Eph.2:8, in order to have the power to live the joyful Christian life and cease from our own works.   Rivers of Living Waters V. W.- 10/11/2016 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was walking around on David and Michael's property, in front of their house (which is on top of Sonshine Mountain). As I did this, I said, “God keeps giving water here”. I knew it was under the ground and sensed it was a hot spring. (The mountain represents Zion or the New Jerusalem, which is spring-fed. The Gihon Spring was the only source of water for the city of Jerusalem. Jesus, the Man-child of David, said His words were Spirit and life. He said in (Joh.7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. Zion is where the true Word of the Lord comes from. (Isa.2:3) And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.) I was marveling about this and was amazed. Then I woke up. I asked the Lord why “He keeps giving water there” and received by faith at random (Eze.34:8) As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep (This is the reason God is bringing the Living Waters, because the shepherds feed not the sheep, and the water they do give them does not give them life. They preach the ‘dead letter of the Word’, which brings death.); (9) therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: (10) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them. (He will deliver His people from these shallow water plunderers. (Isa.56:11) Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. God said He will take the talent away from the one who hid it in the earth, meaning used it for the flesh, and give it to him who has 10.) (11) For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. (12) As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (He will seek out the lost sheep to bring them home.) (13) And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains (or Heavenly places) of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. (14) I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. Like Jesus, Who is our example, He will feed the sheep on the best pasture, and they will be excited. (15) I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep (Jesus is coming and the Pharisees won't believe it this time either), and I will cause them to lie down (rest from their own works), saith the Lord Jehovah. (16) I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away (Exo.2:16) Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters (the seven churches): and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. (17) And the shepherds came and drove them away; (from the water of life) but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And so it will be.) and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat (Ie: with flesh) and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. (The Lord will dispense justice to the fleshly leaders who exercise fleshly authority over His flock as the Pharisees did.) (17) And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats. The rams are Bighorn Sheep, who are leaders. These are differentiated here from the leaders who are he-goats. These are called Judas goats who lead the sheep to slaughter. (18) Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? (The evil walk of the shepherds gives permission to the sheep because of misplaced respect to disobey the Word. The sheep follow in their steps and not the steps of Jesus. The

Things That Hinder the Bride's Maturity(Audio)David Eells - 10/18/2026 (recorded 7/10/22)Satan Reads Minds & Inserts Thoughts David Eells I was asked this question: Can you substantiate in Scripture where it is written that Satan can put thoughts into our minds? My answer was: In order for Satan to put thoughts into our mind he would also have to be able to read our minds. I will try to explain this in a moment but first you might want to entertain another question: Can anyone substantiate with Scripture that Satan cannot put thoughts into our mind or read our mind? Since we can't do this then we shouldn't believe it because it is not Scriptural. (1Ch.28:9)... The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts... In the spirit realm thoughts are audible to the mind of God and demons. God and demons can in turn impart the gift to read minds. I have read the thoughts of men by the Holy Spirit. A man once asked me if I knew what he was thinking. At that moment the Holy Spirit gave it to me and for several minutes the man was awed at the power of God.  Also when I first went to a full gospel Church I witnessed Christians exorcising a demon-possessed man who thought he was a woman. He also demonstrated the ability to read minds when the unbelieving Christians asked for a demonstration. He did say that it was easier to read the mind of one person there and pointed to the only person there who was not filled with the Spirit even though he did not know anyone there. Familiar spirits or spirits of divination in magicians, wizards, mediums, etc. have demonstrated the power to read minds in front of audiences of people. We wrestle with principalities and powers in the mind. {Eph.6:11} Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].... {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. We see here that with the renewed mind of the Word our thoughts are guarded as with a helmet because we wont accept foreign thoughts. We are then able to take back our thoughts and cast the enemy's thoughts down. {2Co.10:3} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh {4} (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (The principalities and powers hold the strongholds in the thoughts of the mind.) {5} casting down imaginations (thoughts), and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We win the battle by rejecting the enemy's thoughts and replacing them with God's thoughts. We are at peace with God when we are full of His thoughts and our minds are guarded from the demonic attacks that cause outward actions of sin. {Php.4:6,7} In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Satan is able to insert thoughts within our thoughts. {Act.5:3} But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?  {1Ch.21:1} And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. Now here we can use a little Holy Spirit reasoning. How could Satan insert thoughts unless he knows the context of your thought? If you went into your computer to edit a program, how could you insert the right codes unless you could read the context of the computer's program? If you just inserted a code anywhere without knowing the program you would make a nonsensical statement and anyone would know that someone inserted something that was out of place. So it is with us. If Satan or demons inserted something nonsensical into our thoughts then everyone would know that they are at work. They do their best work undercover and they know it. How would Satan be able to tempt us if he was so dysfunctional? We would know it was him immediately. How then would it be temptation? Now here is the really important thing. Our battle does not depend on whether the enemy can read our mind or not. It depends on what he can do about what we know. When we read Job we clearly see that God has put restrictions on the Satan's ambitions for Job. Satan has to obey God’s rules of engagement even when he knows what we think. Satan admits he did not have the power to get at Job because of God's hedge and the same is true of us. (Job.1:9) Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? (10) Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.  It is not important for our thoughts to be hidden from the enemy when he can do nothing about them. And he can do nothing about our thoughts unless by them we give him permission for we have authority over him. {Luk.10:19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. {20} Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. It doesn't matter what the demons know that we know for as sons of God we are their lords just as it was with Jesus. {Joh.20:21} Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. {Mat.18:18} Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind (forbid) on earth shall be bound (forbidden) in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose (permit) on earth shall be loosed (permitted) in heaven. Faith permits the sovereignty of God to be manifest through the body of Christ and forbids Satan no matter what he knows of our thoughts. Jesus' condition for receiving His benefits are plain: "As thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee" and "According to your faith be it done unto you" and "Thy faith hath made thee whole". As we believe, God's benefits will be given. Unbelieving thoughts and actions forbid God's benefits to us because He has made a condition and He cannot lie.  Unbelief permits Satan to continue administering the curse. (Mk.6:5) And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. (6) And he marvelled because of their unbelief. Even Jesus was forbidden to do mighty works for those who would not believe. Whether we know it or not, we are constantly forbidding or permitting Satan, demons, and God’s angels by our thoughts, words and actions. Since all authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus and He in turn delegated it to disciples, where does Satan get his authority? He gets it from our unbelief, words and disobedience. Adding to or taking from God's Word in thought and deed permits the curse by Satan and forbids God's blessings for us or through us. This is by God's design to motivate us to come into agreement with Him. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. So in coming into agreement with God we forbid Satan to administer the curse to us. So to win this battle we have to cast down the thoughts of Satan that are sent to get us to give him permission to destroy us. 2Co 10:3-5  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh  4  (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),  5  casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Many think that the reason God gives the gift of tongues is so that Satan cannot understand what we say to God and his purposes will be thwarted. This is false. Satan and his fallen angels are much smarter than Christians give them credit. They certainly know the "tongues of men and of angels" or they couldn't communicate with one another and put thoughts in our heads. {1Co.13:1} If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.  When prophecy is uttered in one's own language the mind, doctrine and desires are permitted to be involved in what is said and the Word is polluted as 1 Cor. 13 says, "for we know in part, and we prophesy in part". In other words, the Prophecy can be part God and part man. However, the reason we speak with tongues is so that WE will not know what we are saying and will have no carnal reason to change it. In this way it will be a pure Word of the Spirit. {Rom.8:26} And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered (by man); {27} and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. Satan finds it easier to conquer us when we are distracted by vain things that have no eternal value.   The Immature and Distracted Will Miss the Bride Joe Brits - 6/26/22 (David’s notes in red) Just after the mee

Beauty of Submission and Glory (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/14/26 We are drawing near to the choosing of the bride. The Bride Is Submitted to the Word Debra Klein – Nov/Dec 2008 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was in a huge temple, which I knew was the heavenly temple. I was dressed in a wedding dress, and there were six other brides, besides myself, in this temple who also had their wedding dresses on. (This is a picture of the brides taken from the seven church types in Revelation 2 and 3.) Somehow, we all knew that we were only to wear the wedding dresses and that absolutely no veils were allowed to be worn at this rehearsal. (Since this is a rehearsal, the submission is not complete. The veil is a sign of submission to Jesus, the Word, which only the true bride will show herself to be - 1 Corinthians 11.) I was sitting in the very last pew, on the right side, in the back of the Temple, where Jesus and I sat together “as a married couple” (He, at the end of the pew closest to the wall, and me to His right) with an aisle in the middle and pews to the left. (The last shall be first and the first last. In this world, the least respected are those who seek not the admiration of the world but put themselves last and on the cross. They sit on the right, for they are the true sheep.) Suddenly, something took place in the Temple that caused us all to stand up. And as we stood up, I noticed there was a bride standing in the pew directly in front of me. As I looked at her, I was taken aback in shock. She was a “dark” woman who was wearing a beautiful, modern, white, slinky, sophisticated wedding dress. But to my surprise, the back of her dress had a see-through panel, through which I saw her naked body and an ugly tattoo on her right hip, which was an appalling sight! (This is a type of the Laodicean church whose nakedness was not revealed to her, for it was the back of her dress that was missing, but it was revealed to everyone else because of her walking in darkness. (Rev.3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked: (18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. We must be dressed up with the works of Jesus to have on the wedding garment. (Rom.13:12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].) I turned my head to the Lord and said, “Lord, why did you want me to see this?” He responded and said, “Keep looking”, and we all sat down. Then a woman walked through the double doors on the wall behind our pew and over toward the middle aisle at the end of the last pew where we sat, and somehow, I knew she was the coordinator of this dress rehearsal. As she stood in the aisle at the end of our pew, she motioned to a family sitting at that end to get my attention. As I turned to look toward her, she had draped across both arms the most beautiful veil I have ever seen, which I can't describe because it was not of this world, but of a “heavenly” nature. I was awestruck at the sight of this veil, so much so that I couldn't breathe or move, but could only feel my heart beating. (This Veil is truly not of this world and represents the manifestation of submission to the Lord and His Word, for He is our Husband who sows the seed of the Word in our hearts.) Suddenly, she pointed to me, indicating that the veil was mine! I was frozen and couldn't believe that the veil was for me! Then she motioned to me that she was going to come around the back of my pew, where the Lord Jesus and I were sitting, and place the veil on my head, which she did. (The Philadelphia Church is the type of the Bride to whom it was said: (Rev.3:10) Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, (This is like Esther being in the king's house didn't face Haman's wrath) that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (11) I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. (12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.) I was still motionless and awestruck, and sat there for some time, contemplating this veil that she placed on my head, holding the Lord's hand all the while. Then I found myself observing myself from behind, being drawn closer to observe the headpiece of the veil. I just had to see it! I was then lifted up in the Spirit high enough to hover over my head to get a good view of the headpiece. Upon careful inspection, to my surprise, the headpiece was a white crown of thorns, which was ever-so-delicately entwined all around with white baby's breath with a diamond at the end of each tiny flower. To my amazement, the thorns did not penetrate my scalp, my temples, or my eyelids, and the thorns were neatly folded under! Weeping, I turned and looked at the Lord and asked Him, “Why are the thorns folded under?” He so lovingly and so humbly hung His head a little and said, “I took the thorns so you wouldn't have to”. (Thorns represent the curse which Jesus bore. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.) I can't begin to describe to you the understanding I received, at that moment, of His unfathomable, deep love He has for His Bride! All I could do was weep uncontrollably at the wonder of His love! Immediately, the organ began to play the song: “Here Comes the Bride!” and I stood up, as I knew it was my cue, and scurried through the pew and into the aisle, and up the aisle toward my Beloved. As I continued to walk, I noticed what I thought were five other brides scattered throughout the pews on the left side of the Temple and I looked back again at the Lord, Who was waiting for me at the altar, and I asked Him who these five were. He said, “Beloved, these are the five foolish virgins”. And I continued to walk toward Him, and then I woke up! (The foolish virgins were at the marriage feast of seven days (tribulation) but were not permitted to be in the midnight escort by the wise virgins to the Groom's home (which is in heaven) where the marriage supper is. [In Mat.25:10, the Greek word “Gamos” just means “marriage” and includes the whole marriage of the feast and the supper.] As we see in Esther, Song of Solomon, and Psalm 45, the corporate Bride body is chosen from among all the spiritual virgins of God’s people. The promises to the overcomers in their midst were given to them.) I didn't want to wake up and tried to go back to sleep to continue the dream, but nothing happened, and I lay there quietly and knew that the Lord was telling me that it was time for the wedding feast! (The Wedding Feast is the last seven days, representing the tribulation, before the Bride and Groom are escorted to the Groom's home (in heaven) by the wise virgins.) And so I asked Him, “Lord, the bride who was in front of me, was that the corrupt church?” And He said, “Yes”. (Most of the corrupt church are told that they are the bride. So many are selling their birthright instead of running after holiness.) Then I thought about the crown of thorns as the headpiece of the veil, and then I understood so clearly that He could only choose a bride who knew sorrow, suffering, and death to self in order for the two to become One. “How can the two walk together except they be agreed?” I just couldn't get over the fact that I was chosen to wear this veil and crown! But the Lord made me to understand that this vision was not about me, but the Bride as a whole, and that I was to share this vision with her to make her ready for His soon coming! He's at the door! It's time for the wedding feast! (The tribulation to prove who the Bride is will begin the seven day/years. At this time God is separating the tares.)   The Bride’s Transformation to Heavenly Submission Marie Kelton - 4/1/22 (David’s notes in red) (In this dream, Marie represents the Bride of Christ who is submitted to her heavenly Husband through obedience to His Word.) I dreamed I was in Chicago. (Chicago represents Babylon. Jesus said that we are in the world but not of it.) I was in the bathroom; I was dyeing my hair blueusing a white cream. (Spiritually speaking, the bathroom is where we rid ourselves, through repentance, of spiritual waste. A woman’s hair is a sign of submission to her husband. Blue represents heavenly. This text also explains the next few dreams, and I will explain these scriptures in more detail below. 1Co.11:3-15 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled d

End Time Saints (1) (audio) David Eells, 10/11/26 New Leadership to Raise Up Saints Franklin Walden, Sr. "For the Lord would say unto His children ... Know now that which lies ahead. As I send My judgment upon the earth and into all the world, all they who seek My face and seek after My righteousness and seek to do My will and to be led by My Spirit shall not be overtaken. But they shall rise above and thou shalt be upon thee. "When the storms, the earthquakes, the pestilence, the diseases; when all these things come in the beginning of the days of sorrow; none shall come to thy house. I will preserve My children and My Spirit shall rest upon them. But they must seek My face. They must not be entertained by anything of this world nor give themselves to that which is unholy, for I am the Lord their God. Thou canst watch and thou shalt see. When thou seest this come to pass, thou shalt understand that what I have said in the Spirit bears out in the natural. For soon there shall come a shaking in all the kingdoms of the earth; for they are not of Me. Just before I am to set up My kingdom, there shall be a shaking of all the earthly kingdoms. Another great leader, as mankind looks at the greatness of man, shall be assassinated. (We know that a President Trump will be assassinated but JFK Jr. will take his place, who is a Christian and is the Vice-President of the Republic now. He is prepared to take over.) Thou shalt know that thou hast heard and it has not been spoken by man, but God has spoken through man and thou have no fear, for your trust is placed in Me. Thou must not be fretful, but thou must be content and at rest, for I am your rest. Other things shall happen in these last days; volcanoes shall continue to erupt. Earthquakes shall continue to come. Diseases that have not been known to man shall break out and many shall break out, and many shall be afflicted. For the plague of death is in the world today because My people have turned to follow the ways of man and not My ways. I would say to thee that thou must become sensitive to My Spirit. My angels that are encamped around about thee will guard over thee. They shall protect thee and thou will have no fear for thou knowest My voice. The plague that shall come, medical science will not have an answer for many shall die but unto you who are under My umbrella; it shall not come nigh thy door. Be not afraid but trust in Me, saith the Lord. I am going to place a heavy anointing upon all of My servants. (Jesus will come as the latter rain anointing on the Man-child reformers.) This anointing that comes upon My servants shall flow to those sheep that I have set them over. (Just as Jesus breathed on the Apostles.) They shall know that it is a work that I am doing. The gifts shall be manifested in the lives of the believers. No longer shall thou be as thou was for that which was inside thee that thou longed to have an outlet for; I am going to open up the doors. Thou art going to be filled with My joy. My joy is going to give thee strength in every battle that thou fightest in. Prepare thyself to read My Word. Study it. Meditate on it. Hide it in thine heart. Pray and seek My face. Seek after My righteousness, for I am going to fill all My servants, that I have set over My flock, with My wisdom and My knowledge and they will not walk in darkness but will understand every move of Satan. I will reveal all the strategies of Satan and give them the strategy of God so My people can pull down the strongholds and cause the kingdom of Satan to crumble. Behold! I am coming soon, saith the Lord. There is a spirit of error in the land today that is saying, 'Go there in the desert and you will find Jesus', or "Go there to the mountains for that is where He is.” Do not be misled. This same spirit of error is saying that Jesus does not exist today and that there is no second coming. it is even trying to convince my people that I do not exist. The spirit of error is pulling and teaching to go back under the law and denying the grace of God. Beware of the spirit of error because it is a great spirit of deception. Do not let this spirit of deception cause you to turn from My ways. For if thou turn away from that which I have given thee, thou shalt surely stand before me in want and when thou art weighted in the balances thou wilt come up wanting. There is a spirit of error in the land that comes as in My name, saith the Lord, that causes you to have respect of persons. It causes you not to love all of My creation. This spirit will bring a barrier between the races. Know that this spirit is not of me, saith the Lord. It is a wrong spirit, for I am the Creator of all things and all things that I have created, I have loved. Any spirit that comes into thy midst and causes you to hate any of My creation is not of Me. Any spirit that causes you not to be able to fellowship with all My people; that spirit is not of Me. For there are many spirits in the land today, but there is only one true Spirit - the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Your eyes shall be opened to understanding and not be blinded in error when thou totally trust in Me, thus saith the Lord. I would speak and say now... though the spirit is a religious spirit, it does not testify of Me. It exalts the flesh and the man and not Me. It draws attention to those who have made themselves apostles who are not apostles, those who have made themselves prophets who are not prophets, who have gone and said I sent them when I did not. But I have not sent them to cause My people to be in confusion. Confusion is Not of me but is from Satan. Know that even this year thou shalt see great changes. One change shall be in My people who have cause to humble themselves and seek My face. I am the Lord thy God. My eyes are upon the righteous but the wicked shall come to a bitter end. All the false prophets and those who have denied My name shall perish. A spirit of confusion shall come upon them and they shall go from one error to another until they will be destroyed through their own ungodly ways. Now, My children, let he that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith. For what the Spirit saith. For what lies ahead of us is victory. It is not a time to draw back, but it is a time to press forward. It is not a time to say 'What's the use?' but it is a time to say 'We must do it'. It is a time we must put our minds together, all having the mind of Christ, that we might make up the hedge and stand in the gap in this evil generation. Soon thou shalt see a manifestation of My Spirit such as thou hast not seen in this generation. It shall be a full impact of My power and everything that can be shaken will be shaken. But My children shall stand sure on that Rock and the revelation which I have given them. They shall not be shaken. Know that I am in the midst of thee - and all that happened... has been of Me, saith the Lord. Thou shalt see greater things in the Body of Christ. Walls shall crumble, differences shall be dissolved, peace shall reign from the bosom of my children. My love shall flow among them, and they shall have compassion for one another. They shall stand together and never be defeated because their faith standeth not in man but in Me, saith the Word of the Lord". (At this point, the Lord showed me the following vision which I feel compelled to share.) In the Spirit, the Lord showed me a great crack coming into the earth. It opened up and many people were destroyed through this tragedy. The crack was so big that automobiles were sinking into the earth. The voice of the Lord said, "Know that when thou hearest about this that it will bring your mind back to what I have said. But fear not, My children, for I am with you always".   Saints Enter Wilderness; U.N. Swallows World Jonathan (David’s notes in red) In this dream, I saw an image of the world as it appeared to suck into itself. A voice said, "It is using itself to support itself". The voice also said, "The U.N. will suck everything into itself, including the U.S., taking every source and resource to support itself in the order to come". (A revival of the old UN?) A feeling of dread and painful sacrifice came over me. I thought that I had already sacrificed a lot for the Lord, but not as much as they were looking for. I was taken to a scene in a desert (The Wilderness Tribulation), and the voice was telling me about a strategy that this desert served. I heard the voice say, "This is a training ground for a select group of people and those whose hearts and minds are ready will go through it and have life. However, one will lose his life in this desert area". (We must lose our life in this world to have His life. Mat.16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?) I experienced the feeling of suffocation and excruciating pain in this desert area. Again, one will die going through it. I started heading toward it, and death started to overwhelm me. A force came, trying to pull me back, but at the same time letting me go, which added to the suffering. It also seemed to be tickling my arm at the same time. I could hear the voice say, "One cannot go through this preparation and death without their mind and heart solely on the Lord. You will die if you don't have your mind on Christ as the One who will see you through". (Many of the Israelites fell in the wilderness through unbelief.) Php.2:1-5 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2 make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the sa

The Deceived Fall Away David Eells, 10/7/26 (audio) Cleansing By Delusion Let me begin by saying that the Lord has been cleansing the Body of Christ of leaven and many have fallen away because they were not obedient to the Scriptures in their testing. They proved that they do not love the Word, Who is Jesus. Joh.6:66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 2Th.2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition(previously known as Judas). 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, Temple here is the Greek word Naos used 9 times by Paul as the temple of God’s people, but never as the physical temple, which was called Hieron. … …setting himself forth as God  This will be like Judas revealing “himself” as his own god by falling away. Verse 6 And now ye know that which restraineth (the falling away), to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one (falling away) that restraineth now, until he (Judas) be taken out of the way (Numeric: “Be come out of the midst”). 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one (They refuse to obey scripture), whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Here we see that we are not to be deceived and that the coming of the Lord in and for His church will not be except the “falling away come first and the man of sin be revealed”. This falling away is the tares being gathered together to be burned. Like Judas, this corporate son of perdition sits in the temple of God's people, in verse 4, “setting himself forth as god” and deceives those who do not love the truth (verse 10) with his lying signs and wonders (verse 9), who will be destroyed at the coming of the Lord. Many will be beguiled by this corporate false Christian (verse 3). Before the coming of the Lord, God is sending a delusion (verse 11) to cleanse His church of those apostates who do not love truth. He is gathering the tares “in bundles to burn them” even now, but also in the day of the Lord. In the tribulation, the mark of the beast will gather the tares in bundles to burn them. They will be “gathered out of His Kingdom” but not yet out of the earth: that happens when they die, but in a major way in the day/year of the Lord that follows. In 70 A.D., the true disciples had fled to the mountains (The high places of God) as Jesus commanded, but the apostates were “gathered” into the city to be destroyed by the Roman Beast. The church will be prepared to meet the Lord, but the falling away of the man of sin must happen first to purge the leavened. Mat.13:41-43 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, (This is happening) 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine (no spots and blemishes) forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. First, God will “gather out of his kingdom all that cause stumbling and they that do iniquity and shall cast them into the furnace of fire” (the Day of the Lord). “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Mat.13:49-50 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. First, “he will sever the wicked from among the righteous” (verse 49); then He will come for His saints and destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 2:8). Now let me share some revelations of these deceptions and delusions that have already caused, and will further cause, the unrighteous to fall away from the Truth.   The Dragon Show - A Great Deception Amber Arney - 4/14/21 (David’s notes in red) I dreamed that I was headed into the enemy's camp to gather information or to stop some plan or something similar. (The Lord warns us through dreams and visions about what is to come and what we need to pray for and do spiritual warfare against. Amo.3:6-7 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.) Their camp was in a bowl at the bottom of a dark mountain. (The dark mountain represents the current ruling Beast kingdom of our day. Jer.13:16, Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. i.e. repent while you still can.) There was a great show going on and a huge group of people were gathered to watch the performance. It was a live show like a Broadway musical. It was colorful and bright and gay, with dragons flying in the air, like a Disney production. It seemed so magical, like a cartoon, only it was really happening. (There are multitudes of people who are still under great deception by apostate leaders, the MSM, and all their witchcraft, lies, and propaganda. Only God’s elect will awaken to the deceptions of the Dragon and then the Beast in these last days.) 2Pe:2:17-20 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. 18 For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.) Something seemed very special about the air around the outside stage. It seemed as if the light was reflecting off “fairy dust” suspended in the air, so that everything sparkled magically. (Representing the attractions of the lusts of the flesh.) Everything else surrounding the stage was dark, and the sun was almost gone. (We are living in very dark times, and many people are being affected by this “fairy dust” that dumbs down the population and fogs up their minds, taking away any desire to fervently seek after God, by the many distractions of the internet, social media, and the FunVax or Fundamental Vaccine. Eph.4:17-19 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; 19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness (meaning, a license to excess), to work all uncleanness with greediness.) I didn’t get a good look at the show because I was intent on making my way down one of the aisles toward the dark mountain that filled my view. (God’s elect who have sanctified themselves from the world will be keeping their eyes on the straight and narrow road represented by the aisle. Our mission is to destroy the works of the enemy and of darkness through faith, spiritual warfare and intercession for the elect.) I went into the mountain and into a shop to get something fixed, like maybe a watch. (Indicating a timing). (This could mean that we need to get our timing fixed, representing that we are hearing and seeing much disinformation about the timing for certain events to occur? Or maybe it is that God is going to supernaturally fix the times we are living in through the Man-child anointing and the “Great Awakening revival”. Or both.) There were two workers in this dark, cave-like workshop. There was a dim, dusty light filtering through a small, high window. The small ray of light also seemed to have this same “Fairy dust” in it, but it didn’t seem so magical in the dark room. The shadows were a dark blue color. (Mat.6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness.) I waited while one of the workers tried to fix the watch or item I had brought in. The workers seemed intelligent, but something wasn’t quite right about them. (There are many false leaders preaching the rapture now instead of the falling away first. People in the alternative media realm are doing much slander and even putting out false timings for things, people, and events. 2Co.11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. 15 It is no gr

God Empowers the Weak (8) (audio)  David Eells, 10/4/26 God works all things together for our good if we love and obey Him. God hasn’t failed. God hasn’t missed. He hasn’t fallen off the throne. Everything He’s doing is to bring to pass the purpose that He had before the foundation of the world, when He chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). If Adam had never fallen, would God ever have had to choose you to be in Christ? No. You mean, God knew that the fall was going to happen and He went ahead anyway? Yes. The Scripture teaches that very clearly. So we’re not here by accident. This is not Plan B. We were each put here like a seed sown in the earth. But then, among those seeds, the evil one came and sowed another seed, the tares (Matthew 13:25). We’ve been sown in the earth to bring forth fruit. When you take a seed and you shove it down in the earth, there’s dirt all around it. Don’t be surprised when you see dirt all around your soul. The dirt is your carnal or fleshly man. That’s God’s plan. It’s quite natural for a seed to grow in dirt, but it doesn’t grow very well if you leave it sticking out on top of the ground, or put it in the rocky places, or put it in the highways and byways (Matthew 13:4-8). A seed only grows well in the dirt. We don’t like the dirt, but take heart and rejoice because we’ve been put here to bear fruit to the seed of the Word. Where God has you is the most natural place for you to bear fruit. You just have to learn to agree with God in the process and not fight against Him. He has a process and a method. His method is going to be manifested by your obedience to Scriptures your flesh or dirt  doesn’t like. Our flesh fights against it, but it’s the most important commandment of Jesus to crucify the flesh. It will put to death the old man, to bring to life the new man. (Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. A dove is a pretty harmless critter. So is a sheep. Sheep are really pretty stupid, too. I’ve been around them a little bit, but I understand that when a wolf goes after them, they just hunker down and die. There’s no biting, there’s no kicking, there’s none of that. No fight at all in them. They just hunker down and die like it’s what they were created to do. Well, that’s the way we’re supposed to be. (Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (17) But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; (18) yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake…. “For my sake.” This is what He’s talking about. For Christ to live in us, we have to obey His command here. You have to be like sheep in the midst of wolves. It’s for His sake that we’re delivered up. (Rev.13:10) If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. The real saints will patiently resist not the evil in others. .  The violent people who lift themselves up are going to die a quick death because God has an enemy coming against them that’s not going to lose. Even if they fall on their own sword, they’re not going to be wounded because God’s sending them. They’re coming to accomplish their purpose, and that is to destroy Babylon in us; to crucify the flesh in us. The people of God are going to be set free through the destruction of Babylon. But there’s also a little Babylon in each of us that has to be destroyed, too, and that’s why we’re going to go through this experience. Not only Babylon corporately, but Babylon individually. And God’s sending an enemy that’s fully qualified to take care of that. But He says it’s going to take patience, and it’s going to take faith for you not to take the sword because when you take the sword, your spirit man loses ground. My wife had a dream about this: a younger brother who was out of his mind with getting vengeance on the world. God was showing us that there is a young brother out here in the world, a young Christian brother, corporately speaking, that’s going to rise up against this country and think to take things into their own hands. People don’t understand this because their teachers didn’t teach them this, and their lives will be cut short because the enemy who’s coming against them is not going to lose. God has a purpose in everything. God is Sovereign and everything He does is right; even if He does it through a wicked vessel, it’s right. When He crucified the Lord, He used wicked vessels to do it (Acts 2:23) and it was right. Today, there are these militant anti-abortionists who are trying to get abortion outlawed by force. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m against abortion. It’s murder and there’s no way you can call it right. But God is so Sovereign that He will use abortion to take babies out of this world because if those same babies were to grow up in this world, raised by this wicked generation, they’d be hell-bound. He’s taking them out of this world through this wicked device so they can go to be with Him.  God is no fool; everything He does is right. When you look at circumstances, just remember God’s in them. He’s doing everything after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). He doesn’t ask the devil anything, and He doesn’t back away from him. The devil just happens to be a vessel of dishonor who is, believe it or not, doing God’s Will. He’s wicked, he’s evil, he’s wrong, and the people who follow him are wicked, evil, and wrong, but he will fulfill the Will of God. The devil is here for people to make a choice. He’s here to bring judgment upon the sons of God who do wrong. As a matter of fact, the devil is here to give them an opportunity to do wrong. They have a choice in whom they obey and serve. This is part of our creation. We need an opportunity to do wrong. We’re going to find out through this process who the sons of God are. There are many who claim to be the sons of God, but before it’s over, we’re going to find out who they really are because the creation is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19) and we will see that. They’re going to look just like the first Son of God, Jesus.  God says there’s no power but of Him (Romans 13:1). If a power is raised up, God put it there, and He wants you to submit to it as Jesus did, even when it’s evil. Remember, Paul wrote Romans 13 in a day when all the rulers over God’s people were evil. (Rom.13:2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (3) For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: (4) for he is a minister of God to thee for good…. Actually, the word “minister” there is the Greek word diakonos, meaning “deacon,” so these wicked worldly rulers are deacons. … But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister (“deacon”) of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.  (6) For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers (“deacons”) of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due;] custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. The Bible says, be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. And, yes, there will come a time when they will say to you, “Deny Christ.” They will want you to trust in the arm of the flesh and submit to the authority of the Beast. But in this case we have a higher authority, Jesus. God says we should submit and obey as Jesus did when He was being crucified. The reason is that He put them in there to do this. Remember whom He put in authority when this was written. It was wicked rulers. Daniel was in the same situation, but he said that God raises up over the kingdom the basest of men (Daniel 4:17). He puts them there on purpose, and He puts them there to crucify us, if we will permit it. But God gives us His Word so that we learn to cooperate with Him in the process.  We must cooperate with God in the process of crucifixion, and the way to crucifixion, as we just read, is weakness. A person who will not resist evil is a weak person, but the power of God to give them life will be there for people who are weak in the flesh. (Jer.17:5) Thus saith the Lord: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm…. If your strength is physical and not spiritual, then you’re cursed. Any part of God’s salvation works that way. Any place where you trust in the arm of the flesh, or run to the help of man, there’s a curse in it somewhere. It will be there. You can’t escape it because God’s Word is never wrong. God didn’t design for Christians to trust in the arm of the flesh for healing. That wasn’t His plan. God always heals. Did you ever see anybody come to Jesus whom He didn’t heal? He always heals. Apostate Christians say He doesn’t, but they’re wrong. It’s because they don’t believe. We must believe the Scriptures. There’s always a curse when you trust in the arm of the flesh. My momma and daddy had a good revelation of that. I shared how my momma had been taking some kind of medicine for years and one day she looked in Reader’s Digest side effects of medicine. It said the side effects of her medicine were breast cancer and glaucoma, and she had them both

God Empowers the Weak (7)  (audio) David Eells, 9/30/26 We all want to manifest the fruit of the Spirit, but first there must be the crucifixion of the lusts. Jesus taught us and He’s our example. Many people think He was an example so that we wouldn’t have to die. No, Jesus didn’t die so that we wouldn’t have to die. Jesus died so that we could die. I’m talking about dying spiritually; dying to self. He died to make it possible for us to die to self.  Those who refuse to take up their cross and follow Him, and refuse to obey His commands, are refusing to be disciples. Even if they call themselves Christians. I want to show you that Jesus turned the other cheek, but He did it as an example to us. When Jesus was before Pilate and the Sanhedrin (Matthew 27:12-14), He resisted not the evil. He did turn the other cheek. He had the power to say “No.” He had more power than the disciples understood He had because they thought they were going to save Him with the sword. (Mat.26:52) Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. He said, “Don’t you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53) Look, Jesus had power they didn’t know of to keep from going to the cross. He didn’t have to resort to man’s arm of the flesh. One angel in the Old Testament killed 185,000 men (2 Kings 19:35) and Jesus is talking about calling 72,000 angels here. That’s power! Christians need to realize that their power is not in the arm of the flesh; it’s in the Kingdom of Heaven. That power should be used to fulfill God’s Will. In the very next verse after Jesus said, “Don’t you know I could call more than 12 legions of angels?” He said, “how then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” (Mat.26:54) We want the Scriptures to be fulfilled in us, which is the manifestation of Christ; however, they won’t be fulfilled if you refuse to go to your cross. Just as Jesus had a free will and He could have called the 12 legions of angels, we have a free will, and we could, in many cases, walk away from our cross. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be faced with it again. We will be faced with it again and again because God is merciful. And we’ll be faced with it until we get it right or just run out of time because we are running out of time. We’ve been put here to bear fruit, and we’ve been given a certain amount of time to do that. There’s a door closing on the other end of this life. I’ve shared before the vision my wife had about being on a treadmill. The door ahead was closing. We had to run faster and faster to get through the door before it closed. The treadmill was imperceptibly picking up speed going in the opposite direction, and we had to run faster and faster. That’s the way the world is; it's picking up speed in the opposite direction, and the door is closing. We’re running a race but it’s not a race against one another; this is a race against time. There’s a door closing. You have to bear fruit or else you’ll be called what Scripture and Jesus called an “unprofitable servant,” cast forth into outer darkness (Matthew 25:30). There’s no such thing as bearing fruit without the cross. I’m going to point out just a few of Jesus’ commands and show you that when you obey them, they put you in a position of weakness. You cannot defend yourself. You cannot hit back. You won’t be able to do the things that your flesh wants because, if you do, your flesh will live and it will get stronger. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh (in other words, if you walk in obedience to the flesh), ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. We want the new man to live and there’s only one way that can happen – the old man has to die. They live in the same house. The spiritual man was supposed to go into the Promised Land and kill the old man and live in his house, and we are, in one parallel, that promised land. That spiritual man is Christ in us and He’s the spiritual man in every one of us, Who seeks to take over our vessel. (1Pe.2:18) Servants, [be] in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. (19) For this is acceptable (the literal translation is actually “grace”), For this is grace, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. Grace? That’s right. God sends us through grace down here on this earth. Sometimes we don’t look on it as grace, but it’s fleshly suffering. He calls it grace. That’s the original word there. We have to go through suffering. (Act.14:22) … Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. We must go through suffering because the flesh doesn’t die without suffering. If you’re not suffering, then you’re not ceasing from sin. Peter said, He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin (1Pe.4:1). That’s because when you’re suffering, when the flesh is suffering – and I’m talking about that entity of the old man in you, the mind of the flesh in you – when that old man is suffering, it means that he’s not getting his way and he’s dying. This is not about the physical flesh suffering, you understand. I’m talking about that entity that lives in you that wants to gratify “self.” If the old man is not suffering, you’re not bearing the cross; you’re not obeying the commands of Jesus to lose your life. So Peter called it “grace” here. (1Pe.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted [for it,] ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it,] ye shall take it patiently, this is grace with God. The last thing we want is to do right and to have wrong done to us in return. We want justice and our rights. The flesh demands its rights, but the flesh is a dead man. We reckon the old man to be dead unto sin (Romans 6:11) and dead men don’t demand rights. You can slap the dead man on one cheek and they’ll turn the other one, too. That’s the way Jesus commanded us. If you want that old man to die, then don’t feed him. Just don’t obey him and he’ll die. This is grace with God. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called…. We were called to suffer in what the world would call “wrongfully.” In other words, we’re called to suffer when we do right. (1Pe.2:21) For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you 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, threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously. In other words, Jesus left judgment, wrath and payback in the hands of God. Peter said Jesus left this example to us so that we should follow in His steps. Every day we’re going to have an opportunity to do this. There’s just no way you could live this life without having an opportunity to deny our self life. Don’t waste your time. Redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16), the Scripture says. This is what we’re here for. Suffering is one of God’s greatest methods to put to death your flesh so that Christ can live in you.  (1Pe.3:13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? (14) But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; (15) but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear: (16) having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. (17) For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. (18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. We can see a spiritual type there in the life of Christ. When He resisted not the evil, He was put to death in the flesh, but He was made alive in the spirit. This is a spiritual type for us because, if we want to be made alive in the spirit, we must accept our death in the fleshly self-life daily.  (1Pe.4:14) If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye;] because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you. (15) For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters: but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. (17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? (19) Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God (That doesn’t fit the prosperity doctrine very well, does it?) commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. Commit your soul unto a faithful Creator. Jesus obeyed His own command in Matthew 5:39 and He was crucified for it. I can imagine several places where He could have interjected just a little bit of truth and totally turned the situation around, such as when He talked about, “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (Joh.2:19). Of course, he spake of the temple of his body (21), but that’s not what was brought out at the trial by the Sanhedrin and I never saw Him even objecting to it, though He knew what He meant. He didn’t bother to stick up for Himself. There’s one person from the Old Testament who really impressed me with his understanding of not resisting him that is

Wealth Transfer and Stewardship (1) (audio) David Eells – 9/27/26 Because of the transfer of wealth that’s coming soon, I want to share what the Lord says about our stewardship. The Bible speaks of building the house of the Lord, which is the people in whom the Lord lives, not a building. This includes meeting their physical and spiritual needs. As stewards of the Lord's money and things, we are all responsible for doing this. {Luke 14:33} So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for tithing mint and anise and cummin, and left undone the weightier matters of the law. He said tithing was of the law. Notice we are stewards of 100% of what belongs to the Lord, not owners who tithe 10% and own 90% as under the law. In the New Testament, this would make us thieves. 100% belongs to the Lord, and He gets to tell us individually what He wants done with it. And He has done a very good job in the Scriptures {1 John 3:17} But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?Love is who the Bride is. The bride is about to be chosen, and it will be people who love God's people, who are generous and loving, and want to meet the needs of God's people. Some demonstrate this love, and some don't. I’m not talking about giving to me; the Lord supplies my needs, and I am content, which enables me to give to the needs of others. I have never taken a collection for myself. I do not receive money from UBM and so do not gain from fee-will offerings sent in, except that I get to see the Gospel go forth. The early disciples never took collections for themselves nor preached gimme sermons because they had faith with contentment. {2 Chronicles 24:4} And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of Jehovah. We really need to restore the original house of the Lord. You can't do that unless you return to the original word of the Lord. {5} And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year; and see that ye hasten the matter.Howbeit the Levites hastened it not. (The priests were not doing their job to rebuild the Kingdom. There's a lot of stuff out there that's not the kingdom of God. It's just men's ego, men's kingdoms. They build it the way they want because they use their own words, not the words of the Bible. And so that needs to be departed from, and especially those that have a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof. From such, turn away, we’re told.) {6} And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony (or house of God)? And it is to benefit the house of God, not a building, not a particular ministry that doesn't really see to the needs of God's people, but to their own needs. {2 Cor.8:1} Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia; {2} how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. In other words, they were very gracious and giving people, even though they lived in poverty. Forced poverty is a curse, but a free-will offering of one's life to deny oneself is not a curse. So that's a blessing. I mean, Jesus lived in what most people would call poverty, and so did His disciples, and they did it as a sacrifice unto God. {3} For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord, So, they had to have the power of God.) {4} beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: {5} and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God. (If we don't give ourselves to the Lord, we won't be able to do what the Lord wants. It's the Lord in us that does it, and as was said, “to us through the will of God.”) {6} Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also. {7} But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. (Amen. The command still goes out.) {8} I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love. In other words, prove your love. Love has actions. Love is sacrificial. Love is patient, and on and on.) {9} For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich. {10} And herein I give my judgment: for this is expedient for you, (In other words, follow in his steps. Sacrifice your life. Meet the needs of the brethren) who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will. (Some people say it's okay as long as you're willing. No, no. Faith, if it has not works, is dead, right?) {11} But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability. {12} For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not. (In other words, you can't give more than you got. And, it's out of your ability, right? But it's even beyond your power, as he said.) {13} For I say not this that others may be eased and ye distressed; {14} but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become a supply for your want; that there may be equality: {15} as it is written, He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack. (God wants equality in the body, meaning everyone has their needs met.) The poor need to give as much as the rich need to give because it is multiplied back, as Jesus said. Jesus said the widow who gave 2 mites gave more than all the rich Pharisees because she gave out of her need. {Mar.12:41} And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury (Which was in the temple of God's people, not a building and ministry that does not meet the spiritual and physical needs of God's people): and many that were rich cast in much. (And that’s not bad, it’s good.) {42} And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing. {43} And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury: {44} for they all did cast in of their superfluity; (meaning their overabundance) but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. I can tell you that she went away getting her needs met. I can guarantee you that, because that's the word of God. She cast in all that she had, even all of her living. Notice that it is not how much you give but how much you have left that counts. There’s an awesome group of promises here that we should pay attention to. It's not like you're going to go into poverty if you give and give and give. You'll just receive and continue to receive. It's clear. This is what God says. In fact, some people stay poor all their lives because they don't give. They don't consider that they have enough to give. Well, you can't possibly do that and get away with it. So stay in poverty. You'll always be in need to other people; you'll always stay in poverty.  {2 Cor.9:6} But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. {7} Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: (This is also different for each person because every person has a different amount of income, right?

(Notice God gives righteousness to the person who meets the needs of God's people.) {10} And he that supplieth seed to the sower (Notice it's not seed to the keeper, like the prosperity movement, where they need three, four, five airplanes and big fancy buildings.) and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, (So He gives you more to sow, so that you can reap more, so that you can be just a channel through whom God blesses people.) and increase the fruits of your righteousness: (He again promises righteousness for this.) {11} ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, (This is not the kind of liberality we get in government; this is a liberality we have in giving, in meeting needs), which worketh through us, thanksgiving to God. (Yes, everybody thanks God for their needs being met, the miracles they receive through this. It's a blessing. And they keep on bragging on what God did for them. That's awesome.) {12} For the ministration of this service not o
