THE ONE AND ONLY WAY, GOVERNMENT AND KING IS GOD ALMIGHTY

 

You readers may have noticed that in my articles about government that I have a very low opinion of all human governments.  If you examine the history of human governments it is recorded in history books by what wars were being waged at that time. Every nation that has ever risen to greatness has fallen.  The reason there are human governments is that humanity has rejected GOD from ruling over them.  It began in the garden of Eden where GOD gave Adam dominion over the Earth.  Genesis 1:26-28  &  Genesis 2:15.  Now Lucifer, because of his vanity over his beauty thought he should have dominion so he plotted against GOD and with a third of the angels assisting him planned a spiritual coup to takeover and be like the most high and set his throne above GOD. Isaiah 14:13-14  Lucifer then became Satan the Devil and his attempted coup was defeated and Satan was cast down to Earth with his demonic angels.  All this happened before Genesis 1:2 and is the cause of the Earth being in a state of confusion and chaos.  From Genesis 1:3 and onward GOD repairs the Earth and prepares it for Adam to whom HE gave DOMINION. Satan then planned to Rob this dominion from Adam but knew directly approaching Adam would not work so he got to Adam through his wife Eve. Satan deceived Eve and she at the forbidden fruit then because Adam loved Eve more than GOD harkened to Eve and ate the forbidden fruit and sin entered the world and Adam lost dominion to Satan.  Genesis 3:17  1 Timothy 2:14  Luke 4:6-7   After men began to multiply and spread out over Earth they chose human leaders, some acknowledging GOD while others did not.  Eventually humanity became so evil in their thinking that GOD sent the flood to wipe them out, all except Noah and his family.  Then afterword GOD revealed HIMSELF to Abraham and gave Abraham the promises of a new covenant, a savior who would be his descendant, all because Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac knowing in faith GOD would have to resurrect Isaac because GOD told Abraham, “In Isaac shall your seed be called.” Genesis 21:12  Genesis 22:18   Galatians 3:16   Later when Christ came he confirmed the covenant that GOD gave Abraham, the new covenant.  Romans 15:8   Luke 1:72-73   Acts 13:32-33 

When ancient Israel was under the rule of GOD as their king they were greatly blessed but during the days of Samuel the prophet and last judge of Israel the people wanted a human king so as to be like the other nations.  Samuel was greatly displeased at this and went to GOD about it.  GOD told Samuel to pass on to Israel a list of negative things that a human king would do but the people still insisted to have a king.  GOD told Samuel to give them a king and that Israel had rejected Him as their king. This story can be found in 1 Samuel 8:1-22  This rejection of GOD as Israel’s king broke the covenant Israel made with GOD when they came out of Egypt. Exodus 24:3-7  Exodus 19:5-8.  After a series of kings, some good and but most evil, both Israel and Judah were punished and taken captive to Babylon.  This human rule was the downfall of Israel and will be the downfall of all nations.  Humans just don’t know how to rule themselves and are corrupt and evil therefore it is no wonder their nations fall.  

In the U.S. and all nations of Earth evil people rule and it is not always clear to the people which evil is the worst evil.  Look at the history of the U.S. and how far it has strayed away from what the founders intended.  Remember also that Satan still has authority over the nations of the Earth and all the evil and chaos that human governments do is influenced by Satan.  Luke 4:5-7  

Remember that GOD has no nation that HE calls HIS nation except the true church of HIS chosen elect saints.1 Peter 2:9  The claims made by U.S. politicians are lies, the U.S. has nothing to do with GOD, No nation does.  GOD intends to end human rulership of all nations and has appointed HIS son to rule the Earth along with HIS chosen elected saints.  Human political leaders speak great swelling words of emptiness that mean nothing because they know nothing and as sinners are cut off from GOD. 

I am fully aware that this is for many people unsettling and disturbing language but the truth heard for the first time always is.  If you are highly offended by my words then there is no hope for you in this current evil age and you will have to wait in death for the age to come wherein you will be raised from the dead and then remember my words and be ashamed.  If GOD gives you ears to hear and eyes to see then blessed are you and your future is one that surpasses even human imagination.  1 Corinthians 2:9   Isaiah 64:4  James 4:1  Galatians 5:17  Romans 8:7   Mark 21-23  1 John 2:16  Isaiah 57:20-21  1 Peter 5:8  John 8:44   Ephesians 6:11-12  Proverbs 28:15  Hebrews 2:14  1 John 3:8  

There is only ONE WAY that guarantees anyone or any nation awesome success and glory and that is having GOD as your king but to rely on men is blasphemy and denies GOD is your king.

DO YOU HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO GO VERY WRONG ?


 Islam is taking over Western Europe and has a foothold in the United States.  Crimes of all sorts are committed around the world. Transgenderism, wokeism, DEI, child Gender altering surgery, abortion, election fraud, healthcare fraud, race division, political division, Communism, Socialism, illegal immigration, Iran, international trade disputes, child abuse, illegal drugs, Mexican cartels, violent youth gangs, inflation, government failures, bad Supreme Court decisions, corruption in politics and anything else you can think of.  This world is going crazy.  People call good evil and evil good. It is like it was in the days of Noah. 

In my life, which is over 70 years, I have never seen the U.S. and the world so divided with various groups of people having an agenda they try to force on others.  This situation is not going to change except to get worse.  I fear the U.S. and the world is near to erupting into chaos and violence unlike anything we have seen in recent history.  A house divided against itself cannot stand.  We are past the point of return.  It is no wonder that so many of our youth are so rebellious and negative about their lives as they see all these things and feel they have no future.  

The majority of liberals are allowing a small minority of people who should be in mental institutions to alter the time tested and proven way of how a society is to be and accept their madness as an alternate lifestyle.  One may ask, is it the minority or the majority that is crazy or both. What I see is that the craziness is a result of people who are failures in life and cannot accept personal responsibility for them but blame everyone else and societies institutions for being a looser.  This is why socialism appeals to them.  The idea of taking from the successful to give to the losers seems like rightful revenge to them.  To have the political left and main stream media support them is mind boggling, crazy must be contagious.  It will in the near future get so bad that the only way to stop it will be to kill it.  Neither I nor the elect I fellowship with will take part in any of this madness.  The only cause we take up is the kingdom of GOD and what the crazies do is on them.  Just think, someday in the future these crazy people will give account to GOD for what they have done;  I would not want to be in their shoes on that day.  

GOD has said that HE would protect HIS elect and I believe HIM.  Exactly how GOD will do it is yet to be seen but the seal of that protection is HIS name written on our foreheads.  If you study the prophecies about the last days by the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles and then look at the condition of the world today it should cause your flesh to crawl and hairs stand on end.

REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC

 In a representative republic, the delegate model where elected officials are obligated to vote the will of the majority of the people, which I believe was the intent of the founding fathers, because it is truly government of, by and for the people, and is not practiced by most elected government officials. Today congressional members vote their own conscience without regard to those who elected them in a system called the trustee model.  When reading the constitution the main theme is always power of the people over that of the government and many protections are included in the constitution to insure that the government does not gain power over the people.  Therefore, the delegate model described above must be the correct model.

Do you realize how many laws were passed by Congress that went directly against the will of the majority of Americans ?  The Institute for Social and Policy Studies has found that 80% of past laws were supported by the majority of Americans but overall congress aligns with public opinion only 55% of the time in the last 20 years. 

There have been very unpopular laws that have been passed by Congress having little support from the majority of Americans.  Examples are; Obama Care, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the TARP bank bail out, the Revenue Act of 1913, Prohibition Act to outlaw alcohol and Abortion on demand at any time for any reason are just a few. 

How can any government that claims rule by those being governed not have elected presidents, Senators or congressmen not obey the will of the majority of Americans ?  The current form of the U.S. government is contrary to the principles of a true representative republic.  

Today there is legislation before congress called the SAVE ACT that 80% of the majority of Americans want passed, but congress has refused to pass it. 

79% of voters do not want biological males in women’s sports but legislation in congress is being held up for its passing. 

The Protect Children’s Innocence Act is still not law because of resistance to it in the Senate. Polls are mixed on this issue but a clear majority is against child transgender surgery. If the U.S. was a true republic it would be law.

Things that have been common sense for many generations are now becoming increasingly politicized by small minority groups who seem to rule the nation over the majority opposition. 

From what I have observed there are too many voters that have no idea about the issues facing the country and vote according to what talking head they watch on TV.  In all of this massive mess voting is about as good as whistling Dixie.  Your vote doesn’t matter when your elected officials ignore you and do what they want. This is why your nation is going to fall. 

GOVERNMENT DECEPTION

 There are various ways that the U.S. government deceives you.  Below are just a few.

Inflation 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the current month to month inflation rate is .4%.  This figure is from month to month.  The year over year rate is 3.4%.

These figures do not take into consideration real estate purchases, food and energy costs which are three of the biggest expenditures of American households.  These omissions obviously will effect the true rate of inflation so as to make it appear not as bad.  Now, if we were to go back to 1950 and calculate the rate of inflation to today it would be 1,289.96%.  WOW !!!  This number also comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What this means is that a dollar in 1950 is worth $13.90 compared to todays dollar that is worth about 7 cents. Do you see the loss of buying power caused by long term inflation ?  Inflation is caused by printing and borrowing money.  Since going off the gold standard in 1971 the government has driven up inflation resulting in a national debt of 40.06 trillion dollars and everyone in the U.S.A. has a share of this debt to the amount of $119,574.00. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 the dollar has lost about 97% of its purchasing power. While the government refuses to say when the dollar will become worthless that day can not be far away.

Unemployment 

The current unemployment rate is 4.1%. This number does not take into account self employed people, college graduates looking for work, people that have exhausted their unemployment benefits and  unemployed people who have given up looking for work.  This makes the unemployment number look artificially lower than it actually is.  The job participation rate is percentage of people 16 years or older who are currently employed or actively looking for work. This rate today is 61.4% which falls short of 100% by 38.6% ; so how can the unemployment rate be only 4.1% ?  ANSWER: it can’t. The unemployment numbers are a lie.

Gross Domestic Product 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country’s borders during a specific time period, usually one year.  GDP calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis is 1.5% increase in the second quarter of this year.  Real GDP is about $24.27 trillion thus far in 2026.  These positive numbers fail to consider the $40.06 trillion debt.  If you had a million dollars in the bank but were 100 million in debt would you still be a millionaire ?  All the U.S. Is doing is living on printed and borrowed money and borrowed time.  Eventually the giant bubble will burst and the economy will totally collapse.  

 By combining inflation, unemployment and GDP effects on the economy we can see that the U.S. government is basically lying to the citizens with bogus numbers to make our economy look much better than it actually is.  All three of these government numbers are lies.

Haven’t you ever wondered why a 3 bedroom home with a full basement and bath and a half in 1950 cost $11,500.00 but the same house today costs $246,000.00.  That’s more than 21 times more expensive.  How about a nice car.  In 1950 a premium new car was $3,500.00. Today it’s between $50,000. and 120,000. depending on extra features you might want.  No matter what you could buy in 1950 today it will cost about 1,289.96% more. 

The Federal Reserve 

Another big lie is the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by a simple up or down vote in congress.  This action turned over the entire nations finances over to a group of private banks and super rich individuals. Article 1 section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives the power over the nation’s economy to congress alone and cannot be changed except through an amendment to the Constitution but congress, by just a simple up or down vote, gave the power to the Federal Reserve.  This was unconstitutional but no politician challenges this fact.  The Federal Reserve is illegal.  Article 1 section 1 of the constitution contains The non delegation doctrine of the U.S. constitution that prevents congress from ceding or transferring its core legislative powers to any other branch of government or private entities.  

The government will of course deny all this information and use confounding and contradictory language to cloud the issue.  The truth is this; the U.S. government has been lying to its citizens for years.

FALSE IDEAS OF THE CARNAL CHURCHES

 

There is a common idea in the false churches that no one before Christ had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and that the spirit would only come and go as needed with the people who GOD dealt with in the times before Christ.  These people also believe that the Christian church did not begin until the day of Pentecost.  In this article I am going to prove both of these ideas wrong.  

The key to understanding that the above ideas are wrong is understanding Romans 11:16-24  The olive tree symbolizes the church of GOD, true Christians from all of time before and after Christ.  If you examine the new covenant scriptures very closely you will come to see that the new covenant was the calling out of the Gentiles along with any Israelites who believed.  The number of Israelites would drastically be reduced over time as their branches were broken off and replaced by Gentiles.  This is the great mystery that Paul wrote about.  Romans 11:25  Ephesians 3:2-6  Ancient Israel was the elect of the old covenant, the law, but the church is the elect according to grace. Can you see that grace is older than the law that came 430 years after Abraham, the church is older than ancient Israel. This knowledge ends the debate of replacement theology because the church was before the law, there was no replacement at all.  Spiritual Israel, the Israel of GOD, has always been the true holy people and ancient Israel was nothing but a shadow of the spiritual reality to come.  Hebrews 10:1

Then we connect Romans 11:16-24 to Hebrews 11:1-40  All the people mentioned in this chapter, along with others not mentioned, were people of faith, the one true faith, and are heirs to the same promises that Christians today have.   They are the root of the olive tree in Romans 11. They along with Christians after Christ will be in the first resurrection.  Luke 13:28  Matthew 8:11-12  Those thrust out are the broken off branches in Romans 11:20 along with everyone else who did not believe. 

Then we connect these with scriptures like Ephesians 2:19-22

These verses confirm the ancient prophets along with the Apostles are part of the foundation of the church thus proving the church existed long before Christ.  Take note that it explicitly says that all were indwelt by the Holy Spirit.  

Another scripture Matthew 27:51-53  Saints who died before Jesus died were resurrected.  

Another Acts 13:22  David was a man after GODS own heart.

And…. Psalm 51:1-19  A Psalm written by David expresses his sincere repentance over his sins of adultery and murder concerning Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite.  Psalm 51:1-19 is a prayer of sincere repentance by David. Replace David’s name with yours. King David was a Christian along with many others who lived before Christ.  

Another…. GOD preached the gospel to Abraham.  Galatians 3:8  The faith of everyone in Hebrews 11 was saving faith, not by the law but by grace.  Romans 4:23-25  James 2:23   The covenant GOD gave to Abraham was the new covenant. This new covenant needed confirmation by the promised seed of Abraham, Jesus Christ.  This Jesus was baptized not for himself but for all these ancient Christians who were circumcised.  Romans 25:8-9  Romans 4:11 Jesus fulfilled all righteousness, the righteousness of GOD by faith that was present in those ancient saints.  It says in Hebrews 12:38 “the world was not worthy of these people”.  How true.   The Holy Spirit of GOD indwelt all these people, it was not transient but permanent.  On occasion more of the spirit was poured out upon these people in order for them to accomplish something special GOD wanted done. This was common among Christians after Christ as well.  

There are many other scriptures that testify that the false ideas of the false churches are based entirely on carnal knowledge.  

The elect that are sealed in Revelation 7 are the church from righteous Able to the last one called and chosen to fulfill the 144,000.  The innumerable multitude will be another group that come later after they are martyred.  The total number of people who will be saved who are the elect is 144,000 and the Laodicean martyrs and this number agrees with all the statements Jesus and the prophets and Apostles preached, many called but few chosen.  These 144,000 are the little flock.

The carnal world will not believe anything I have written here and that comes as no surprise to me.  I am writing to GODS scattered elect saints.  However, if anyone else is beginning to understand this then you may be hearing the call, will you answer it and be chosen.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE ONLY TEACHER

 

John 16:13 “But when the spirit of truth comes it will guide you into all the truth….”

Psalm 25:5 “Guide me in your truth and teach me for you are the GOD of my salvation…”

1 Corinthians 2:10-13 “But GOD has revealed it to us by the spirit. The spirit searches all things even the deep things of GOD.  For who among men knows the the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him ?  So too no one knows the thoughts of GOD except the spirit of GOD. We have not received the Spirit of the world but the spirit that is of GOD that we may understand what GOD has freely given us…”

Isaiah 54:13 “All your children will be taught by Jehovah and great shall be the peace of your children.”

John 6:45 “It is written in the prophets, they will all be taught by GOD, everyone who has heard the FATHER and learned from HIM comes to me.”

John 8:47 “Whoever belongs to GOD hears the words of GOD.  The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to GOD.”

I am fully aware that scriptures use the words teach, teaching, teachers and teacher.  When you read the above scriptures isn’t it obvious GOD ALMIGHTY is the teacher.  The only thing the prophets, Jesus, the Apostles and us, the elect saints can do is share what GOD has taught us but we CANNOT give the understanding of it. GODS elect saints hear a voice in their minds (human spirit) that teaches them. No one else has this experience therefore they call you a liar or crazy and don’t believe you because they have not experienced what you have.  

Even in worldly class rooms the teacher can instruct, share their knowledge with the students, but will every student have the knowledge of the teacher ?  In spiritual things, only GOD can give the increase of spiritual knowledge. 1 Corinthians 3:6   The above scriptures I gave should prove that  if you have the spirit.  To teach your neighbor is like trying to love your neighbor, you can try to love or teach , but will have little to no success in both because your neighbor is carnal and incapable of learning or loving. GOD has to give both learning and loving.

It is a spiritual truth that without the Holy Spirit a person cannot understand spiritual things. Romans 8:7  

  Now worldly preachers, who don’t have the spirit, preach to many people about their ideas of spiritual things, to a people who don’t have the spirit. In this situation neither the preachers or the people they preach to have the Holy Spirit.  This idea of men teaching other men about things that only the Holy Spirit can teach is nothing more than carnal ignorant men without the Holy Spirit taking credit for something that only GOD can do.  These carnal people then teach lies in the name of Christ because they don’t have the truth.  These false “teachers” are arrogant, ignorant servants of Satan.  They can appear as an angel of light but so does Satan. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

I am not a teacher, I can only share with you what GOD has taught me, then it’s out of my hands and in GODS hands. If GOD wants you in HIS church then HE will put you in.  If GOD has assigned you to live again in the second resurrection then that’s what will happen.  Fake preachers thinking they can teach, put themselves in place of GOD.  Everything humans know GOD taught them.  Do you think Adam and Eve taught themselves language and the understanding to have a meaningful conversation ?  The men that GOD gave knowledge and skills to,  to build the Ark of the covenant and tabernacle. Exodus 31:1-6  Even in physical things GOD had to teach men, place the knowledge in their minds, else they would have known nothing.  How much more with spiritual things ?  

In short, teaching does not pass knowledge, it can only share it and in this carnal world there is no guarantee the hearer will understand. With HIS spiritual things GOD places spiritual knowledge in the minds of people who have HIS spirit and people without HIS spirit remain spiritually ignorant.  



THIS ARTICLE IS WRITTEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE BABES IN CHRIST

 

Scripture confirms that there is a spiritual condition called “babe”. 

“Brethren, I could not speak to you as spiritual people but as unto carnal, as babes in Christ.” 

1 Corinthians 3:1KJV  

It is used to describe someone who is new to the faith and truth of GOD. 1 Peter 2:2   Hebrews 5:12   1 Corinthians 3:1-2  Isaiah 28:9   Ephesians 4:11-15   1 Corinthians 14:20 

 How long it takes to grow out of being a babe to a mature Christian is dependent on each person as our experiences in life differ and the time we devote to prayer, study and meditation varies.  Remember this, the more you give yourself to GOD the more HE gives to you.  As the title says this article is for babes in Christ.  It is in no way to be taken in some negative light but rather as a fellow elect of GOD in GODLY love sharing things about your current  infancy and your need to fellowship with others who are more mature as an aid in your own growth towards maturity.  We mature are not Apostles, evangelists or pastors but we are new covenant prophets and prophetesses who have received the divine guidance and teachings from GOD through Christ just as you will.  We can’t teach you, GOD will do that, but we can share with you what GOD has taught us.

33 years ago I and two others were babes in Christ had just escaped the deception of legalism, a belief that we had to keep the Ten Commandments and certain parts of the law of Moses.  This form of deception is very powerful because it was based upon the scriptures that were used incorrectly by the false church leadership who had carnal minds.  No one in this false church had the Holy Spirit.  GOD ALMIGHTY began to work with the three of us to bring us out of this deception in 1993.  We were taught by GOD the truth about the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, about the one true GOD, about the man Jesus Christ, about faith, grace, the church, the truth of the gospel, the total submission of ourselves to GOD, about life and death and resurrection , about the kingdom to come and about certain prophetic events.  We were given all this understanding by the spirit of the FATHER through Jesus Christ our mediator and savior.  We began our journey as babes in Christ to gradually be taught by GOD all these things I listed and some I did not.  At that time unknown to us we had what I call excess baggage from the world that we needed to get rid of and this did happen over time.  We had some beliefs that were not true but in time GOD corrected us.  This experience we went through all babes in Christ will go through.  The three of us had no other mature Christians that could help our weaknesses, the strong bearing the weak was not present for us but this did not hinder our growth because GOD and Christ were with us and guided us into the truth.  As we grew in the spirit, in grace and knowledge, we learned that there were others scattered to the four winds who had a similar experience of conversation but we did not know any of them personally.  After about 30 years one of our group ventured out into the world seeking others like us and joined a Christian forum.  He posted many articles on that forum knowing full well that the chance of being positively received was very slim.  As it turned out  there were two individuals that did respond but had reservations and this because they were both possessing excess baggage from their affiliation with Satans churches.   These to different degrees challenged the content of the articles our brother posted on the forum asking for proof from the scriptures which our brother gave. It must be stressed here that no one can teach anyone the truth of GOD, GOD alone teaches through Jesus Christ.  GOD, on several occasions,  gave the understanding to the babes even when one or the other of them was vehemently opposed the truth.  Our brothers progress on this form was being monitored by the other two elect saints and we became greatly encouraged to see these two individuals being enlightened by GODS spirit to see the same things that GOD taught us many years ago.  Now remember this happened about 3 years ago and since that time these 2 new babes in Christ have come to know the truth about certain things but they yet have some excess baggage that needs discarding.  Currently there are 6 of us now that fellowship together and in the process of this fellowship the three mature saints have come to see the excess baggage in these two new babes in Christ.  It seems that a repeat of the events that happened on that false Christian forum have continued on into this new fellowship as we three can plainly see this excess baggage they are carrying while as yet they cannot.  We 4 pray for them and have confidence that GOD who has brought them this far will place them in HIS plan where they belong.  Remember I said that no one can teach anyone the truth of GOD, that GOD is our teacher through Jesus Christ, and all we can do is continue praying for them and providing them with what we have learned that they have yet to learn.  Back in the days when we were babes in Christ we would have given our right arms so to speak for a mature Christian to have served us in the way that we have served these babes.  We confess that at times it has been a little frustrating but we realize that each babe needs to work out their own salvation in fear and trembling.  This is not some kind of contest to see who is the most knowledgeable.  This is not the time and place for carnal egos to come into play.  This is a SPIRITUAL THING that only GOD can work out.  Everything we have comes from GOD so where is the boasting, where is the pride ?  We speak the truth in love and that is all that we can do.  Everything else is GODS doing.  

To all the babes in Christ; realize that you are babe, a new convert, and that you have much growing ahead of you and come to see that there are those who GOD has called and chosen long before you and to hear them out.  Take what they say to GOD in prayer asking for confirmation one way or the other.  Realize that these mature saints have been where you are now and that they love you and desire the best for you.  We are not your enemy, we are the blessing to you that we did not have when we were babes.   

I will add that since our conversions in 1993 we have come into contact with several others all of whom have fallen away for various reasons.  We trust GODS judgement in this as only HE knows the best time to call and choose people.  Only recently we have had to accept this with certain ones who have left.  We have learned a valuable lesson from these types of experiences; that we should not credit people beyond what GOD has done with them and time is required for new acquaintances to prove themselves even as a babe before we call them brother or sister.





THE ONE AND ONLY WAY, GOVERNMENT AND KING IS GOD ALMIGHTY

  You readers may have noticed that in my articles about government that I have a very low opinion of all human governments.  If you examine...
