The GOOD FIGHT of An Apostle of God

It seems that even at an early age in my life during my teen years I was instructed into learning how to fight. So I was trained in popular Martial Arts like Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Karate or the way of the KATAS, and self taught Kung Fu in particular the "Jeet Kune Do" style of Bruce Lee. I only made it to "green belt" but it was enough knowledge and training in "self defense" to take care of myself and save any "damsel in distress". And like Lee I became very avid handling the "nunchakis". But all of that physical training and knowledge acquired has gone sort of "dormant" and placed somewhere in a remote corner of my mind, ever since I gave my life to God and Jesus Christ His Son, and to the ministry and instead had to "retrain" my mind into a more DANGEROUS and more "overwhelming" type of FIGHT! The "SPIRITUAL ONE" a fight more compelling, more "fierce" and more INCREDIBLE than any PHYSICAL fight!

For 37 years now since I learned the ways of God and put aside the ways of the Tao or "the world" I have realized that I have a very formidable enemy that I continuously must battle and struggle with, contend with and overcome. That is "my flesh", Satan the devil, and his demons and "cohorts", and THIS WORLD! Its LIES, DECEPTION, WICKEDNESS, OCCULTISM and OPPRESSION! So like David I have become quite a "valiant", COURAGEOUS, and INVINCIBLE WARRIOR! As a TRUE ordained Minister of God I have attained the necessary knowledge, UNDERSTANDING and weapons to succeed in VICTORY! WHY? Here's why? "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out from many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy (Satan the devil himself), and from them which hated me (his cohorts): for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place (Twin City Mission in Bryan, Texas); He delivered me, because He delighted in me. The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness (proclaiming the message of the Gospel on my radio show and writing the book: THE PLAIN and SIMPLE HIDDEN TRUTH OF THE AGES); according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me (with a beautiful and lovely NEW BRIDE and wife: Gina). For I have kept the ways of the LORD (all this time), and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me (humbly observing the Sabbath day and the Feasts and Holy days). I was also upright before him (teaching others and expounding His TRUTH and showing them THE WAY), and I kept myself from mine iniquity. Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight." Psalm 18: 2-3, 16-24 KJV.

So I became a VOICE commanded by God to "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression (of idolatry, witchcraft, sorcery and Sabbath breaking and other many sins they do), and the house of Jacob (modern day Israel, the US and the UK and Canada), their sins." Isaiah, 58: 1 And just like Christ I can say that "I of myself can't do NOTHING, but the FATHER He does the works in me!" You see my friends "It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hind's feet, and setteth me upon my high places (And all those lovely mountains I will climb with my NEW mate). He teacheth my hands to war (against our spiritual enemy), so that a bow of steel (like the one the white horseman of Revelation who represents Pope Francis) is broken by mine arms." Psalm, 18: 32-34 KJV. Again let me remind you ALL that "It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me." Verse 47. As the Scripture recalls to memory "the battle is not mine but the Lord's"!

One of my GREATEST and continuing battles against my flesh is the continual "pursuit of riches" and WEALTH by playing the lottery each week and I have failed utterly in following instead the wise words of the Savior when He said: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth (as depicted on the popular film: NATIONAL TREASURE inspired by Freemasonry), where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal" Matthew, 6:19-20. You see when you get into such a desire of money that you make that pursuit of having more money to spend on "stuff" and things "YOUR GOD" This is very WRONG! In spite of what the "false teachers" of so called "PROSPERITY GOSPEL" say! Let's see what Jesus himself said and taught. Let's see this again in Matthew the 6th Chapter verses: 24-34: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon (the ancient demon god of wealth, riches and money). Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat(food), and the body more than raiment (clothing)? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns (or warehouses); yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought (of this) can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment (or what you will wear next)? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not (they don't work), neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, What withal shall we be clothed? (FOR AFTER ALL THESE THINGS THE HEATHEN, THE WORLD SEEKS): For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and ALL these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow (the future) shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto this day is the evil thereof."

I want you to notice the exhortations of Paul regarding this subject and pointing out the evil of these so called ministers and teachers of the "Prosperity Gospel" in 1 Timothy, 6: beginning in verse 3 he says this: "If any man (whether it be Joel Osteen, etc) teach otherwise (of what I'm teaching you now), and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ (which I just quoted before), and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud (arrogant as many of these preachers are), knowing NOTHING (they don't know God from a whole in the ground), but doting about questions and strifes of words, wereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmissings (they love to subject people to their cunning, and shrewd teachings and words and with) Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth (THEY DON'T KNOW THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH OF GOD), supposing that gain (or wealth and riches) is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is GREAT GAIN! For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry NOTHING out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts (remember Jimmy Swaggart?), which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of ALL evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou are also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth ALL things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep His commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ (at His second coming): Which in times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate (not the Pope), the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen (those people that claim seeing a light at the end of the tunnel and Christ are liars), nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded (like some of the "filthy rich" are), nor trust in uncertain riches (dirty money from drugs, etc), but in the living God, who giveth us richly ALL things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in GOOD WORKS! Ready to distribute (and share), willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time (of troubles) to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." (verses 3-19 KJV)

I've been rooted and grounded as a TRUE minister in the Word of God as Paul exhorts us ministers to do in 2 Timothy, 2: 15: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of TRUTH!"

Notice now what he says in verses: 19-26: "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His (you see God knows who are His TRUE ministers). And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ (as some of the false ministers do) depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver (like the Catholic churches have), but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor (God), and some to dishonor (God). If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor (to God), sanctified, and meet (or useful) for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts (like fornication with many women as some of these wicked false preachers do): but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive (that's why I don't go around false churches correcting false teachers of the Bible); but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." This is another GREAT battle I have as a minister of the TRUTH!

Let's notice also Paul's final admonition to those who are called by God to serve him and obey him in Ephesians, 6: 10-20: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in HIGH places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all (you can do), to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH (THE PLAIN and SIMPLE HIDDEN TRUTH OF THE AGES), and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (something I am preparing for next); Above all, taking the shield of FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (of this world). And take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is THE WORD OF GOD! Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel (of the Kingdom of God), for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." Like Paul I'd like to ask you my readers and followers to pray for me that God may provide "an OPEN DOOR" to meet with leaders and dignitaries worldwide as an "UNOFFICIAL" AMBASSADOR FOR WORLD PEACE! And be able to conduct dinner and speaking engagements with these men in order to bring them the message of HOPE and PEACE of the soon coming KINGDOM OF GOD! Thank You for your prayers and may God richly bless you ALL!
