1 Protect me, God, for I take refuge in You.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
3 As for the holy people who are in the land,
they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who take another [god]
for themselves multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
5 LORD, You are my portion
and my cup [of blessing];
You hold my future.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD who counsels me —
even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I keep the LORD in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad,
and my spirit rejoices;
my body also rests securely.
10 For You will not abandon me to Sheol;
You will not allow Your Faithful One to see the Pit.
11 You reveal the path of life to me;
in Your presence is abundant joy;
in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.

The Definition of Confidence

1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed.
2. belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance: His lack of confidence defeated him.
3. certitude; assurance: He described the situation with such confidence that the audience believed him completely.

I believe that Father leads me to explore the meaning of the word confidence in the Word, because it’s something I am lacking an understanding in. I feel that Father is helping me to more fully understand faith, trust and now confidence in Her, which all seem to fit together perfectly.

As I study the different definitions of confidence one stands out to me due to the example that is given of it being used in a sentence. “His lack of confidence defeated him”. I am now certain, that Father would like for me to reason out the importance of confidence and how it can be used to bring Her glory in my service to Her.

Philippians 3:3-5 For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh— 4 although I once had confidence in the flesh too. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

In reading the above scripture, I see that we are told that in serving Father we do not put confidence in the flesh. Perhaps this speaks of a certain boldness, or pride in oneself. Because the flesh is sinful, I think it best to not place confidence in oneself, but instead to place all confidence in Father who is infallible. Confidence in oneself could also lead to leaning on one’s own understanding and being misled into believing that which is not truth. We see this evident then, in those who did not believe that Christ Jesus was the son of God in the same way as we see it today in these End Times. We also see it evident in the many people who believe that once saved is always saved and who have so much confidence in their own salvation that they do not realize that it is something that must be attained via diligence and endurance.

Proverbs 3:25-27 Don’t fear sudden danger or the ruin of the wicked when it comes, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare.

When Father is our confidence, it is She that keeps our foot from a snare because we are leaning on Her in full faith and trust of her abilities and righteousness. To lean on oneself would be counter productive, as being of the flesh we can be easily misled via our own sinful natures.

Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pot say of the potter, “He knows nothing”?

Additionally, the clay cannot have confidence in itself in being able to withstand the heat it is fired in, or in its own ability to hold water. It must have confidence in the potter, to know what temperature it should be kilned and how it should be properly molded in order to contain the water poured in it without breaking. The clay must instead have confidence in the potter, who is far more knowledgeable.

2 Corinthians 8:22 We have also sent with them our brother whom we have often tested, in many circumstances, and found diligent—and now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you.

Each day we are each tested. I have been and continue to be tested. I understand that it must occur and that it is one of many ways in which to learn and grow in Father. I know that there is a reason behind all testing that goes on. And while I fear many times that I have done wrong, so wrong that I’ve lost all chances of obtaining salvation, I also feel a voice within my heart that says that rather than being filled with fear, I should instead place my full faith, trust and confidence in Father. Because I am imperfect and still of the sinful flesh I stumble daily. And daily, sometimes several times a day depending on the sort of day I’m having, I ask Father for forgiveness because I feel so deeply how far from the mark I am. Then, the next day I get up, aided by Her Spirit, and continue to move forward the best way I know how. I am not confident in myself at all, but I now more fully understand how important it is to have full confidence in Father.

Psalm 3

3 But You, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

There are many who attack me. Who want to see me fall away. Who play mind games and attempt to shatter my morale and cause me to lose faith and trust in Father. But it will not work. Rather, I am urged to study and dig deeper within the Word and to write about what I’m feeling and what I discover. Through this medium I am able to see the words that lift me up as I am instructed in knowledge, obtaining a greater understanding and finally wisdom.

My faith, my trust, my confidence is in Father and not in myself and while I may be weak, She is strong. Though I am made confident by Her and through Her. She is my shield around me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. The One who loves me despite my many flaws. The One who forgives my sins because I am confident also in the grace I am under and the sacrifice Her son made for us all. Through him and only him am I forgiven.

There is a lot that I do not understand. I do not know what lies around the corner – only that there is a plan. I do not know the incredible depths of Father’s plan – only that it’s incredible. I cannot fully conceive of the enormity of Her love and wisdom – I can only imagine.

I find myself at a time in my life in which total trust and total surrender to our Father Yahweh is at the same time the strength that will get me through. This strength is not my own. It is borne from the wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge and strength that is Hers and can only come from Her.

As for fear… well, fear and I go back several years now. It hasn’t felt like a constant fear, but it’s been there and I’m pretty sure that it’s been used against me in the Spiritual War as well. I was called upon by Father to perform the single most important task of my entire life which is to serve Her and Her son Christ Jesus. It’s a blessing of such magnitude that I cannot put it into words. My fears stemmed from having felt the pain associated with having been a disappointment more than once and wanting to please Father and Christ. It was from this point on that I began to feel fear. I’ve been afraid of my own weaknesses. Afraid of my own ignorance. Afraid of making bad choices. Afraid that my best wasn’t good enough. In a nutshell I’ve been afraid of myself and my own sinful nature and of loosing the gift of eternal life. But over and above all this, I’ve been afraid of failing Father and Christ.

I looked up the definitions of trust and surrender and in part, trust is defined as reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence. And, surrender is defined as to give oneself up, as into the power of another; submit or yield.

In Biblical times, it was Father’s will that the Israelites give up offerings to Her. These were material things. It occurs to me now though as I ponder the stirrings within my heart and mind, that it really isn’t about material things because all things already belong to Her. The Israelites were simply giving back to Father what was already Hers and that She had in turn given them.

I feel that it’s more about giving ourselves up to Her. It’s about trust and surrender. It’s about knowing that if I seek Father, She will not abandon me. It’s about knowing in my heart, that in seeking Her I truly have done the very best that I can and fully trusting Father with every fiber of my being. It’s about putting Her will before even my own will to live. It’s all intertwined and just a single, small glimpse into Father’s wisdom. And there’s much, much more…

Psalm 9:10 Those who know Your name trust in You because You have not abandoned those who seek You, LORD.

Father has spoken to my heart tonight. She has told me that despite my ignorance, my bad choices, my sinful nature… She has not abandoned me. What I need to remember, is that in seeking Her I must also trust her completely. And the time in which I need to do this most of all, is when I’m afraid.

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I will trust in You.

In doing the best I can do, in seeking Her and trusting Her with my very eternal life, in giving myself up to Her, then Her will becomes most important and the fear is erased. Then and only then am I strong because this is when She becomes my source of strength. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Many of the adults you knew as family, friends or acquaintances are gone as well – only not in the same numbers as the children.

It does not appear to be the rapture, as their bodies have been left behind and have not disappeared leaving a pile of clothes as popular Christian theories or books have claimed.

But it is.

Amidst all of this, in the sky appear millions of aircrafts that are “UFO” in nature. The government tells you that it’s an alien invasion.

There is chaos in the streets. Your own neighbors are now raping, pillaging and killing one another for food and water.

Armageddon has begun and you’re one of the one’s left behind.

How do you feel? What are you thinking? What do you do?

As has been prophesied, do you curse God for what has befallen you?

Isaiah 8:21They will wander through the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged, and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God.

Don’t. Because: Exodus 21:17 “Whoever curses his father or his mother must be put to death.“

You still may have a chance, if only you humble yourself.

Proverbs 3:33-34 The LORD’s curse is on the household of the wicked but He blesses the home of the righteous; He mocks those who mock, but gives grace to the humble.

A second rapture may take place, but it is not guaranteed. If it does occur, it will happen soon after the first rapture but it is dependent on whether or not humble hearts are found.

Zephaniah 2:2, 3 “before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning of the LORD’s anger overtakes you, before the day of the LORD’s anger overtakes you. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth, who carry out what He commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be concealed on the day of the LORD’s anger.”

One of the men was holding some pamphlets and they said that they had come by to invite me to their church at which point I told them that I am a minister with an online ministry called The Light of Life Ministry. The other man inquired as to what denomination and I told him no denomination, just Christian. (I regret that having being caught off guard, my mind wasn’t working quickly enough to have gone into more detail in explaining that we are not affiliated with any man-made organized religion at all, because they are all filled with only partial truths, falsehoods and lies.)

At this point one of the men stepped forward and asked me if he could ask me a couple questions and I told him that yes, he could. (When I think of it in retrospect, I realize that I felt a lot like how Christ must have felt when the Pharisees and Saducees of the day questioned him.)

His first question was, “If you were to die tonight, would you go to Heaven?”

I replied, “Well, I hope so, but honestly I don’t know as God is ultimately the judge of that. I do all that I can to walk in Christ’s footsteps and whether or not I obtain salvation is left to Him.”

He then said to me, “Okay, so let’s say you die tonight, you go to Heaven and you’re standing before God and God asks you, ‘Why should I let you in?’ what would you say?

After a moment of thought I replied, “I would say ‘Father, I hope that I have served You well and pleased You in all ways. May Your will be done.”

The man then interjected, “Okay but would you have asked Jesus Christ in your heart for forgiveness of your sins?”

I smiled and replied, “I do, every day.”

The man went on to say, “That’s the answer I was looking for.” And then to further explain to me that he asks that question of every person they meet and added as emphasis, “even if the person who answered the door was wearing a white collar, I would still ask him those same questions.”

After they left I prayed to Father, because I felt that I hadn’t done as good a job as I could have in serving Her. The answer that I received was to use this experience as inspiration for an article and vehicle in which to spread truth.

Now, I understand that the purpose of their visit was twofold. One may have been to invite new members to their church but two was obviously to preach that repentance is necessary for forgiveness of sins. However, while it is true that true and deep down repentance of the heart is necessary for the forgiveness of sins, what they were also implying was that repentance is the ONLY requirement for receiving Salvation and entrance into Heaven.

This, my friends, is simply not true.

You see, in this day and age (and by this day and age I mean the End Times), the (false) shepherds of the world preach a truth that is only one sided when truth is actually a double edged sword. While forgiveness awaits those who are truly repentant, made possible by the Ransom Sacrifice of Christ Jesus dying on the cross for our sins; there must be an acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior AS WELL as a good heart condition in order to obtain Salvation. So, who reads the heart and determines who is worthy and who is unworthy of Salvation and entrance into Her son’s Kingdom? God does.

1 Samuel 16:7 “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or his stature, because I have rejected him. Man does not see what the LORD sees, for man sees what is visible, but the LORD sees the heart.”

The false Christian religions of the world have placed many requirements on Salvation that simply are not true. Some say that you must be baptized in order to receive Salvation. And others say that it only takes an acceptance of Christ. Still others say that it requires only repentance. I don’t know why they preach these things, I’m sure that many are mislead themselves. Or maybe the Truth seems too difficult to them. Maybe the Truth wouldn’t fill their pews and mega-churches and offer enough tithing money with which to prosper. Maybe the Truth wouldn’t make them popular enough or bring them enough notoriety.

But what are we serving Father for, if not to spread the Light of Truth? And if you’re not spreading the Light of Truth which is the Truth in its entirety, are you truly serving Father or are you serving Dawn Lucifer in spreading more falsehoods, half-truths and lies?

It is vitally (necessary to life – ETERNAL life) important at this time more than any other that people understand the TRUTH.

The truth, and it’s important that I share this with you now because there’s not much time left, is that even those who accept Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior may not escape the coming wrath and be included in the Rapture. This is because there are two requirements, not just one, and it is dependent upon the condition of their hearts as well. A good heart is a humble heart and one can be saved by the acceptance of Christ AND a good heart.

While browsing MySpace today, I happened upon the Most Read Blogs button and clicked on it only to see that the NUMBER ONE most read blog on MySpace is titled “The End of Christianity”. The same user, who goes by the name “Human Evolution” also has the 6th most red blog on MySpace titled, “Where did we come from?” Later on, while reading through Google News headlines, I came upon a very well written article titled, “Other Religions Accepted while Christianity Scoffed At”, by Jamie Kenny of The Olympian. The article ended in a poignant statement that spoke of the world today in regards to Christianity and mankind in general. “If only my (Christian) faith was reclassified as a philosophy or cultural tradition my views might become accepted, too. A cross on the Capitol Campus would be no different than a totem pole.”

Do you recognize that both the MySpace blogs and the news story are signs of End Times?

This week I was so happy to be witness to the awakening of a friend’s husband. It was proof positive in how Father’s light cuts through the darkness of the world and is able to reach Her children. It truly was as if his eyes were opened to what was happening in the world around him for the very first time.

As a reader of this newsletter, you’ve noticed that we have accompanying scriptures that apply to each section for Nourishment from the Throne, Signs Up Above, Signs Down Below, Signs of Natural Disasters, Signs of False Shepherds & Religion and Faith Under Fire. This is because while we are sharing nourishment, we are also pulling the headlines from multitudes of news sources from around the world and they all apply to the prophecies spoken of in the scriptures. It is our hope and most sincere prayer that in reading our newsletter, that the reader not only receive life-saving nourishment, but that also via these news stories the eyes of some or many may be opened as well. That those who are touched by Father’s light via the newsletter also experience an awakening.

So what if you are one of those people who recognizes the signs around us and attributes them to prophecy being fulfilled?

Perhaps you’re in a state of shock. It’s not an easy thing to know that Father’s wrath is building and the end is near. You may feel disappointment in not having had the chance to do things you always wanted to do. To get married and have children and/or see your children grow up and get married and have children of their own. To build your dream house, or travel to parts of the world you’ve never seen.

The thing to remember in all of this is that creation as we know it, was not a part of Father’s original plan. The end will bring an end to Dawn Lucifer’s world and all that is evil - which is a good thing - and there is so much more to look forward to. More than any of us can even begin to imagine. Once you get past the initial shock, you will realize this, and come to a greater understanding that it is not all doom and gloom but good news because you will begin to look forward to Christ’s return and the establishment of his kingdom. This is why we proclaim the GOOD NEWS - because it is just that!

You may also feel frightened. Fear almost always stems from the unknown and there are many unknowns in regards to End Times. You may wonder if you’re ready. If you’ve lived a good life and been a truly good person – not by societies standards but by Father’s. If you’ve done all that you can do to follow The Way that Christ Jesus set before us. In essence, you may be wondering if you’ve been good enough to “make it” into the Rapture of Father’s faithful footstep followers of Christ. Your fear may also be that of the thoughts of what Armageddon will bring. You may also fear for the safety and survival of your loved ones because your eyes have been fully opened to the amount of evil that exists in this world at present.

There is an emotional process involved in being human and coming to an understanding of what is occurring around us and what is to come and not everyone processes this knowledge in the same way. For the most part, people of the world today choose to ignore, dismiss or deny what they may very well feel deep down in their hearts and this can be for a multitude of reasons. Others have been mislead and are so far immersed in darkness that the light may never reach them.

If you are one of the people I described, who recognizes the signs around us and attributes them to prophecy being fulfilled, now IS the time to search your heart. Now is the time for a full awakening of the truth as we are each responsible for our own salvation. Do not be in shock because it has been prophesied. And do not be afraid because Father will make sure that Her faithful children are delivered from the coming wrath. Instead, prepare your heart and guard it as well.

In our Kingdom Message of Salvation, we share a message of truth that details what is required for salvation. They are two things. 1) An acceptance of Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior and 2) A good heart condition.

Perhaps you’ve accepted Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, but what about the 2nd requirement?

- Do you love the LORD our God with all your heart, mind and strength?
- Have you humbled yourself completely?
- Have you confessed your sins and shortcomings and felt repentance within your heart and asked for forgiveness?
- Have you submitted yourself fully to Father’s will?
- Have you recognized fully that without Father Yahweh, nothing within our realities is possible?
- Have you come to an understanding that without Father and without the Ransom Sacrifice of Christ Jesus, we would be lost for eternity?

There are many more questions one could ask oneself while searching one’s heart and I know… because they are questions I have asked myself almost daily. Speaking as someone who once walked in darkness, was found and experienced an awakening, I understand the myriad of emotions involved and the roller coaster it can sometimes feel like because right now, the world is filled with anxieties and frustrations. But all of that will soon end, and that is why the coming wrath is a double-edged sword. With it will come eternal death for those declared negative but it will also bring the promised rest of Christ’s Kingdom for those declared faithful.

Genesis 2:2-3 “By the seventh day, God completed His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done. God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it He rested from His work of creation.”

Until then all we can do is continue to do everything within our power to continue our walk in Christ’s footsteps, have faith, and hope, and know in our hearts that with the coming rest and restoration of creation, will come a reality that is greater and more splendid that we could ever imagine.

In the past there have been many judgments made by Father against mankind. They have included Adam and Eve, Cain, The Great Flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Pompeii, and many more. In our weekly newsletter, we have done our very best at bringing you news stories of all the signs we are currently witnessing in the world around us. Unfortunately, while many know how to read the appearance of the sky, they cannot read the signs of the times.

Numbers 14:11 [ God’s Judgment of Israel’s Rebellion ] The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise Me? How long will they not trust in Me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

Have you taken the time to read them and truly ponder the meaning behind them all? Have you noted all the major changes that are occurring here on earth, which include what scientists have coined as “Global Warming”? Or the increase in Natural Disasters, Plagues, Famine, Fires, Droughts, Heat Waves, Extreme Cold, Melting Ice Caps, Volcano Eruptions, Tsunami, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Floods etc.?

If you have, then you may be wondering to yourself, “Is God Angry?”

The answer to your question is “Yes, God is Angry.”

However! God is also Love.

So how can God be angry and love at the same time?

Because She has warned us and She has been long suffering in that the wrath has been a long time coming. Many, unless they live in the specific areas that are experiencing the horrific natural disasters, simply don’t understand or comprehend the magnitude of these disasters. Some, like the Fallen Angels of Adam and Eve’s time, believe that Father’s wrath will never come, or that it will come all in one day. Others are so wrapped up in their lives and the ways of this evil world that they completely miss the many signs exhibited both through nature and society that make it so plain to see. Others lean on their own understanding in attempting to decipher prophecy and are consequently blinded to the truth that is all around them.

Our Ministry for three years now, has known the truth and have been well aware of the signs that have been given to mankind. As part of our stewardships we have delivered the Kingdom Message of Salvation, which not only explains what is required for Salvation but also delivers a warning to those who refuse to accept the truth.

Luke 21:11 There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.

Luke 21:25 [ The Coming of the Son of Man ] “Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves.

Does it not seem coincidental to you that these things have been prophesied are the exact same signs we are witness to today? That the US Dollar is nearly valueless? That oil prices surge? That layoffs and unemployment are at unprecedented highs? That food, electricity and water are becoming more and more scarce? That Natural Disasters continue to impact not only many lives, but also the economies of many countries – each affecting other countries around the world? That prayer and all signs of Christianity are being forced from public view? That the unnatural marriage between gay men and women is socially acceptable? That many have come to the forefront proclaiming to be Messiahs? That Organized Religion around the world is receiving much scrutiny and bad press?

Currently, God’s holy angels are pouring out the bowls of wrath on an evil world of people. Keep count of how many more are perishing by God’s hand, and those dying from Satan’s hand in causing violence throughout this planet, just as he did before the global flood. As time moves on the numbers God executes will be evident by those that are soon to perish by the emptying of more wrath from the bowls. The destruction IS coming from Father. It is a final warning during the tribulation period before the door closes and the cup of wrath is administered.

If you believe that it is only nature, only “global warming” that is bringing devastation, then you need also to understand who nature is a part of - God - and who uses it to bring forth Her will - Her holy angels. The bowls of wrath represent nature at its deadliest. The cup of wrath represents execution by holy angelic warriors.

How do you know that what we reveal comes from God? Moses is our example:

Numbers 16:28-30 “Then Moses said, “This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will: If these men die [naturally] as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the LORD has not sent me. But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”

Father is the Great Mathematician. They do not recognize that one of the revelations in all crop circle designs is that of intelligent design. Like all things Father creates, intelligence is born into Her works.

2 Kings 21:13 “I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line [used on] Samaria and the mason’s level [used on] the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem clean as one wipes a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.”

Isaiah 34:11 “The desert owl and the hedgehog will possess it, and the great owl and the raven will dwell there. [The LORD] will stretch out a measuring line and a plumb line over her for [her] destruction and chaos.”

Chaff’s meaning:

“chaff1 >noun 1 the husks of grain or other seed separated by winnowing or threshing. 2 chopped hay and straw used as fodder.
-PHRASES separate (or sort) the wheat from the chaff distinguish valuable people or things from worthless ones.
-ORIGIN Old English.”

In relation to the Word:

Job 21:18 “Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff a storm sweeps away?”

Psalm 1:4 “The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.”

Isaiah 17:13 “The nations rage like the raging of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills and like dead thistles before a gale.”

Jeremiah 13:24 “I will scatter you like drifting chaff before the desert wind.”

Hosea 13:3 “Therefore, they will be like the morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes, like chaff blown from a threshing floor, or like smoke from a window.”

Zephaniah 2:2 “before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning of the LORD’s anger overtakes you, before the day of the LORD’s anger overtakes you.”

Matthew 3:12 “His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out.”

Luke 3:17 “His winnowing shovel is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with a fire that never goes out.”

Isaiah 24:13 “For this is how it will be on earth among the nations: like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.”

And even Dawn Lucifer used wheat as a symbol for what he would like to do to Father’s faithful:

Luke 22:31 “[ Peter’s Denial Predicted ] “Simon, Simon, look out! Satan has asked to sift you like wheat.”
