The Elijah Restoration
Spiritu
Seventy Years
Daniel was living in the land of Babylon, in Chaldea. He had been living there for almost seventy years away from beloved Zion. Yes Babylon was rich, and colourful and at times breathtaking in its beauty, Daniel lived like a king over there but his heart? His heart was in Zion. Each time he saw the incredibly beautiful hanging gardens his thoughts were taken to Zion, the land of Yahuah. He remembered it lay desolate while here were the goyim living in luxurious peace and Judah their captives. Each day three times a day he turned toward Jerusalem toward Zion and prayed to Yahuah his Elohim. Each day he studied the scrolls which contained the promises of Yahuah that one day, yes one day Yahuah would restore the captivity of his people. He would allow Israel to return to Zion. He would set them free. Daniel longed for that day. He spent a lot of time calculating from the date when they had first been exiled until the date promised.
He remembered well the year he had been exiled. It was the third year of Yahuiakim son of Yoshiyahu the king of Judah, that is 606 BC. About twenty years after Jeremiah anf Habukuk had began to prophesy, and in that tragic year Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon had besieged Jerusalem. And Yahuah gave Yahuiakim, Daniel relative, into the hand of Nebu-chad-nezzar. He also gave part of the vessels of the house of Elohim into the hands of the worshipper of Nebu an el nekar a strange god. The Babylonians had taken the treasures of the house of Yahuah and placed them into the treasure house of his el.
Many years had passed since those tragic days and each day Daniel studied and prayed hoping for the restoration of Zion the return. He trusted Yahuah and knew his elohim was an el emuna, an El of faithfulness. This much he knew. Yes he had served the kings of Babylon, faithfully as Yahuah had required him to. He had served Nebuchadnezzar from the third year of his exile, his son Evil Merodach, Neriglissar and the coregents Nabonidas and his eldest son Belshazzar. He pondered and sat down to write his diary and to pray.
“In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood from the scrolls the number of years , whereof the word of Yahuah came to Yermiyahu Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem”.
Daniel had read the Jeremiah scrolls many times over but a few days earlier he had picked one of the scrolls begun to read from where he had left off the day before in Yirmiyahu 25: 10
“ Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth , and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of millstones, and the light of the candle. And the whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”
It suddenly struck although of course he knew it all along, that the days of restoration were at hand. The set time had come. From the time he had been exiled 3rd year of Yahuiakim which was about the first year of Nebuchadnezzr, until the first year of Darius son of Ahasereus was about seventy years. But now he was wondering what was supposed to be his part in the restoration. He couldn't just up and leave the position he had received as first president over the kingdom. And besides for the sons of Judah and Benjamin to rebuild Jerusalem and Judah would take maamoth resources and they would need protection and permission from Darius and Cyrus the Medes and the Persians who had now begun to reign over Chaldea and Canaan. He decided to read carefully what Yahuah would require of the sons of Israel as their part in the coming liberation. It was afterall Yahuah who had sent them into exile for their sins and it was he who promised to bring the captivity to an end. So Daniel read further paying careful attention to what was required of the son of Israel and the priests and levites.
And it shall come to pass when seventy years are accomplished that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Yahuah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans and will make it perpetual desolations. And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll which Yermiyahu Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. ”
The man of Judah sat back and reflected on what he had read. He was an old man but he was still quick thinking and was indeed legendarily wise. He ponderd the fact that Darius the son of Ahaseurus the Mede had just ascended the throne of Chaldea. It was his first year. The nations had begun to serve themselves of Babylon just as Yahuah had spoken. Indeed it was Daniel who was a key player in giving the rulers understanding that their time was up. He well remembered the abominations and blasphemies of Belshazzar and their last day. It was a massive feast with a thousand lords of Babylon. It was their last day but they did not know it. It was the day appointed of Yahuah to punish Babylon but they were blissfully unaware and drunk and drunk and drunk. The goy had even had the cheek to take the gold and silver vessels his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Zions temple. Who knows perhaps this was the last straw in the eyes of the great and terrible El Yahuah. Oh yes he is great to those in his covevant who loved him and kept his mitzvoth but to the wicked to those who hated him he was indeed terrible. Belshazzar that worshipper of the idol Bel began to drink wine from the holy vessel. He was neither holy nor clean, he was not a son of Aaron or a Levite he took the holy vessels which belonged to the priests for the service of Yahuah and began to party with them. Daniel was so grieved in his heart. He remembered he had thought to himself “oh Yahuah when will you sanctify your name”. These things can only be because of our sins. The noise of those playing Babylonians got louder and louder as they partied with the holy vessels. They began to praise the idols, with Yahuah's sanctified cups in their hands. They praised the idols of silver and gold. Daniel heard all of this from his house not far from the party palace. He was praying. He was mad, but he would not speak evil of his ruler because Yahuah had told Israel to pray for them.
Belshazzar looked almost as if he was in a drunken stupor but was not yet. He was conscious enough to know reality from unreality and yet it had to be said, he the great servant of Marduk had drunk just a little too much. He was surrounded by beautifully clad wives and concubines. He shouted “bring the gold and silver vessels from the temple of Jerusalem. Let us eat drink and be merry one never knows what tomorrow will brng”. The holy vessels were brought into that house of idolatry and he took one of the golden cups which in the past had stood in the holy place in Jerusalem next to the bread of the presence and filled it with wine. They began a rousing song to Bel the patron god of Babylon. He was the sun god, son of EA god of the ocean. They sang praise to him and under his proper name Marduk. Suddenly a finger appeared on the wall in front of Belshazzar. He was kicked right out of his revelry and his tongue stuck in his throat for a moment. But the finger became fingers and began to form a hand and the hand began to write. The drunken king got his breath back and screamed. He got troubling thoughts. “What is that? Fear began to grip him and he began to shake uncontrollably. Yahuah's judgment for Bel Shazzar had begun.
Daniel was finished praying and interestingly enough as peace had come into his heart regarding the answer to his prayer to Yahuah, that he should hallow his name, the feast and the party seemed to go suddenly quiet. The man of Elohim was sure that the living El was going to do something about his name but he did not know what. He heard the sound of the king shouting. “Bring in the Stargazers, the priests of Bel Marduk and the Dream interpreters”. The coregent was calling for the entire reprensentation of the occult. They were brought in and told they would be very rich if they could read and interpret the handwring on the wall. The Excellent Spirit spoke to Daniel, “in a moment you will be called in. Here is the message you are to give to Bel shazzar”.
The man who knew that El was the just judge walked in to the now quiet feast. He was known as the master of magicians, stargazers, priests of Bel Marduk and the dream intepreters. At the same time he knew Bel Marduk was nothing in the world. The only true Elohim was Yahuah.Belteshazzar was brought to Belshazzar. The terrified king addressed him “ Are you Daniel, of the captive sons of Judah, whom my father brought out out of Judah?”
Daniel said nothing. The king continued and told him that none of his wise men could interpret the writing, but if the son of Judah could he would be dressed like a king and be third ruler in the kingdom. Daniel told him to keep his gifts but he would explain the writing. But first he gave him a lecture. He explained how Nebuchadnezzar his grandfather had been humbled before the Most high El. But how he Belshazzar had not learned from this.
“But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven.; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you, and your lords , your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine in them. ; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not nor hear , nor know, and the El in whose hand your breath is , and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified. Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Mene Mene Teqel, upharsen
Daniel then spoke the decree of Yahuah over the king
Mene El has numbered thy kingdom and finished it
Tekel Thou are weighed in the balance and found wanting
Peres Thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians
Immediately Daniel was exalted to the thrid place in the Kingdom. But he knew it was all over and that same night Darius the Mede had taken the kingdom, and the judgment of Babylon proceeded apace. Daniel would not forget that night.
Daniel continued reading Yirmiyahu Jeremiah. He read on until he came to chapter 29 a letter which the prophet had written to him, the rest of the elders, to the priests, the prophets and to all the Israelites who had been taken captive to Babylon. As he read the scroll from Hilkiah's son the realisation of the fact that this was a letter from Elohim giving instructions as to how Israel were to live in galut in exile dawned on him. This was a letter of Yahuah the God of their father's and the Creator of the heavens, the earth, the sea and the dry land and all that in them is. The awesomeness of the moment caught him for a moment.
Thus sayeth Yahuah Tzevaoth the Elohim of Israel
unto all that are carried away captives,
whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
1 Build ye houses and dwell in them
2 and plant gardens , and eat the fruit of themselves
3 take ye wives
4 and beget sons and daughters
5 and take wives for your sons
6 and give your daughters for husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters
that you may be increased there and not dimin ished.
7 And seek the shalom of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives
8 and pray unto Yahuah for it.
For in the shalom thereof shall ye have shalom
For thus saith Yahuah Tzevaoth, the Elohim of Israel
9Let not your prophets and your diviners that be in the midst of you,
decieve you.
10 neither hearken to the dreams which ye cause to be dreamed
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name:
I have not sent them , saith Yahuah
For thus saith Yahuah
That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon
I will visit you.
And perform my good word toward you in causing you to return to this place
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you,
Saith Yahuah
thoughts of shalom, and not of raah (evil)
to give you a posterity and a hope
Then shall you call upon me
and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me
when you shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you,
saith Yahuah
And I will turn away your captivity,
and I will gather you from all the nations ,
and from all of the places whither I have driven you.
Saith Yahuah
and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you
to be carried away captive.
Daniel read the scroll of the prophet carefully and noted that the seventy years were once more mentioned. He also paid attention to the restoration promises Yahuah gave in the scroll. It was true that Jerusalem was now desolation but Yahuah had promised “I will visit you!”. Had not that hand come from the invisible and eternal world into the world of senses and interupted the sacrilege of Bel shazzar just a few months earlier. Was not that a sign of Yahuah visit. He continued to ponder:
“ I will turn again your captivity”. Daniel noted carefully the promises made regarding prayer “Then shall you call upon me. Then shall you go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. It suddenly dawned on him, these promises to restore required full participation. They are not just automatic, this is about relationship. He visits us. We call, we pray we seek Yahuah. We must, he thought participate in the restoration. He reflected on the shema “Hear Israel, Yahuah, our elohim Yahuah is one. You shall love Yahuah your elohim with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your resources.” He then compared this with the exhortation in Yirmeyahu's scroll “And you shall seek me and you shall find me when you search for me with all your heart” We must seek Yahuah. We must pray for the holy mountain for Jerusalem that Yahuah will take us home.
Daniel decided he would pray. He would not just prayer but he would record the prayer for posterity and to encourage the others from the house of Judah who wanted to return to Yahuah. He felt it is important that we help one another to play our part in the restoration. He reflected on the words of Habukuk the prophet. “Write the vision, and make it plane on tables (chaluchot), that he may run that readeth it. Daniel decided he should write a prayer and participate in the restoration. He would seek Yahuah. He began to write in his diary:
And I set my face unto Adonai ha elohim
to seek by prayer and suppications , with fasting, and sackcloth and ashes.
And I prayed unto Yahuah my elohim and made my
confession and said:
O Adonai the great and dreadful El,
keeping the covenant and chesed to them that love him
and to them that keep his commandment (mitzvoth)
We have sinned , and have commited iniquity
and have done wickedly, and have rebelled
even by departing from thy mitzvoth and thy mishpatim.
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets
which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes and our fathers
and to all the people of the land.
O Adonai righteousness belongeth unto thee
but unto us confusion of faces,as at this day;
the men of Judah , and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and unto all Israel that are near and that are far off
through all the countries whiither thou hast driven them,
because of their trespasses which they have trespassed against thee
O Adonai, to us belongeth confusion of face,
to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers
because we have sinned against thee
to Adomai our God belong mercies and forgiveness,
though we have rebelled against him
Neither have we obeyed the voice of Yahuah our God
to walk in his toroth, which he set before us by his servants the prophets
Yea all Israel have transgressed thy torah, even by departing
that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written
in the Torah of Moshe, the servant of Elohim,
because we have sinned against him
and he hath confirmed hisw devarim which he spake against us
and against our judges that judged us, bringing on us great evil
for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem
And it is written in the Torah of Moshe, all this evil is come upon us
yet made we not our prayer before Yahuah our Elohim
that we might turn from our iniquities and understand thy truth.
Therfore hath Yahuah watched upon the evil and brought it upon us
for Yahuah our Elohim is righteous in all his works
which he doeth for we obeyed not his voice.
And now o Yahuah our God that hath brought thy people
out of the land of Egypt-Mitzraim with a mighty hand
and has gotten thee renown , as at this day, we have sinned we have done wickedly
O Adonai according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee
Let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem
thy holy mountain: Because for our sins , and for the iniquities of our fathers
Jerusalem and thy people, are become a reproach to all that are about us
Now therefore O our elohim
hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications
and cause thy face to shine upon thy santuary, that is desolate
for Adonai's sake, o my elohim, incline thine ear and hear
open thine eyes and behold our desolations
and the citiy which is called by thy name:
for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness sake
but for thy great mercies.
O Adonai hear, O Adonai forgive, O Adonai hearken and do;
defer not, for thine own sake, O my elohim:
for thy city and thy people are called my thy name.
Yahuah's council was seated in heavenly places. A watcher was sent forth and a holy one went down from heaven to see Babylon and to see Zion.
The Plan of Restoration
Daniel praying there back in 539BC or so was give a plan.A plan was revealed to him which had been decided not amoing men but in Yahuah's parliament. This was a plan of plans from the planner behind all planners, Yahuah himself. A messenger was sent to Daniel who came in the form of a man and yet he few swiftly. Yes his answer came from a flying man. His name was Gabriel. Gabriel comes from to roots, geber and el. El is one of the titles of Yahuah, he is El Elyon God most high and El Tzevaoth, God of hosts, El olam God eternal.One Jewish Psalm book translates el, Almighty.1 Geber means a valiant man a warrior and come from gabar which means to be strong which implies to prevail. So Daniel recieves the heavenly message from a flying man representing the El who Prevails, the strong El.
The setting of this meeting is Daniels prayer closet. That place where he decided to set his face to seek Yahuah his El was the place where Yahuah sent a messenger to meet him. And the command for a messenger to go to him was given right at the beginning of Daniels prayer. Daniel is described by the man Gabriel as greatly beloved or literally a man of desires. The Man of Desires is told to understand the issue and consider the vision. It is this same Gabriel who later appears to Zechariah the Father of John the Baptist and Mariam the mother of Yehoshua the Mashiach and who declares that Jesus shall be call Son of the Most High (Luk 1:32), having only Yahuah as his Father. The plan of restoration in answer to Daniel is as follows:
Seventy sevens were planned over
1 The people of Daniel
2 the holy city of Daniel
3 to restrain the transgression
4 to seal up sins
5 to make reconciliation for iniquity
6 to bring in everlasting righteousness
7 to seal up vision and prophet
8 to anoint the most Holy
Gabriel then gives a break down of the Seventy sevens with a few pointers on the way
1 there will a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem then seven sevens
2 There will come a man called Messiah the Prince sixty two sevens
3 after the sixty two sevens Messiah will be cut off, but not for himself.
4 The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary
5 the end will be with a flood
6 unto the end of the wars desolations are determined
7 He shall confirm a covenant with many for one seven
8 in the middle of the seven he will cause sacrifice and oblation to cease
9 he will cause the over spreading of abominations
10 he shall make it desolate
11 even unto the consummation
12 and that decided shall be poured out on the desolate
1 In the restoration of all things the life of society in terms of the form of government and the way of worship will be restored to the way it was at an earlier point in history. Yahuah see's the end from the beginning and knows all that has been and all that will be. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Two elements of the restoration which are on my heart today are that of the form of government and that of the way of avodah' (service or worship).
2 Each generation is responsible to pass on to the next generation the great works and ways of Yahuah. In the Psalms it says one generation will declare Yahuahs great works to the another. So it is that the deposit of truth gets handed down from generation to generation. The two arms of Yahuah family in the earth the arm of Israel and the arm of the Church both have a responsibility to pass on the good news of Yahuah to the next generation.
3 However if a generation is found to be wicked and perverse they will not do their job, and so some element of the deposit of truth will not be handed on and so the next generation will start from a weaker position than the previous generation. Many things given to men might be lost as a result.
4 For example it could be the faith of Abraham which was counted for righteousness, the circumcision on the eighth day, or the name of Yahuah given to Israel for blessing , the esa debarim or ten words of the covenant or the mitzvoth, the torah, the torot, the chuqqim, the mishpatim, the piqodot, edut or whatever other element of the deposit of truth given from Yahuah to mankind. Yahuah deposits the treasure of truth to a generation and that generation has responsibility by the means Yahuah teaches them to pass on the deposit. Some of the deposit was given in writing and should be passed on in writing, but some of the deposit may have been given orally, and would then need to be passed on writing or orally. It is not just with written and spoken words a deposit is passed on to the next generation. Some of the deposit was given by experience and will be passed on by testimony. The giving of the ten words is an example. The generation who were set free from Egypt experienced many amazing signs and acts of Yahuah. These they had the responsibility through word and deed to pass on to the next generation who were born in the wilderness who never saw any of the plagues in Egypt or the dividing of the Yam Suph, the smoking of Mount Sinai and never heard the voice of Yahuah. Yahuah give Israel the three rememberances or appointed times whereby they would pass on to future generations the experience of the generation of the deliverance.
5 if now a generation came and did not pass on the deposit of to the next generation (for example the generation of Jeroboam Son of Nebat who refused to pass on the need for all Israel to gather three times a year before Yahuah in Jerusalem) or were permitted to go on a path different to the deposit for example the generation of Samuel were permitted a human king(melekh) having rejected Yahuah as king and Yahuah system of the rule of judges (shophtim), then in the restoration the human king system will be replaced with the divine judges system and Yahuah will again be malkei Israel. Thus this would be the restoration of the kingdom of Elohim which John came to proclaim and Jesus came to manifiest. So Yehoshua says to the disciples:
The kings of the goyim exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so...And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; that you may eat at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (Luke 22: 25-30
Thus Jesus contrasts the way of Yahuah's kingdom with the way of goyim kingdoms. This restoration of Yahuah's kingdom and kingship is one aspect of the restoration of all things. But it is good to note that from the time of Samuel when Israel was permitted against the counsel of Yahuah and against the counsel of the prophet priest Samuel throughout rule of Saul, David and Solomon,, in the monarchy and from Rehoboam to Zedekiah and Jeroboam until Hosea in the divided kingdoms the Holy Spirit still worked through the prophets but the initial deposit of governent where Yahuah was king and his judges did the judging still needed to be restored. In the midst of this period the prophet Isaiah looked to that day of restoration:
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
And I will restore thy judges as at first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterwards thou shalt be called the city of righteousness the faithful city, Zion shal be redeemed with justice, and they that return of her with righteousness.(Is 1:26-27).
6 It is not that the deposit is given and afterwards there is no development. No inside the instructions given in the deposit are the instruction needed to pass on the deposit and apply the deposition for each generation. For example the generation living 1000 years after Abraham will have situations to deal with, some things will need the system which was included in the deposit to be apply the deposit to that future generation. For example the generation of the wilderness might cut of the evil perons from their midst by stoning him to death, but the generation of the death burial and resurrection of Yehoshua would perhaps hand him over to satan for the destruction of the flesh and simple exile him from the community. Both generations would be applying a form of justice with the “trial” followed by a mishpat or decision or sentence leaving that person a new position as guilt or innocent.
7 According to Yehoshua the responsibility to hand on the deposit in his generation rested with the Pharisees who sat in Moses seat. To sit in Moses seat meant had responsibiliy to judge right judgments and to hand on that which Moses had received for Israel from Yahuah. The Deposit in this case the Torah was under divine protection not one jot or tittle could be changed not until heaven and earth passed away. The practise of the Torah is what needed restoring.
Book 5
O N E
Rosh Ha-shana
Rosh Ha-shanah, is for Judah (the Jews) the Day of Judgement. In the Torah it is the first day of the seventh month and is called Shabaton Zichron Troah, that is a rest of remembrance by blowing. At this time Judah pray that they will be inscribed in the book of life over the following year. Maimonides a great Rabbi from Judah from the 12th century, said of Rosh ha-Shanah “Although the blowing of the shofar on Rosh ha-Shanah is an unexplained Scriptural command, its connotation is “Awake ye that are sleepy, and ye that slumber awake from your slumber, and ponder your deeds, remember you creator, and go back to him in penitence. Ye who miss the truth in you hunt after vanities, and waste your years in seeking after vain things that can neither profit nor deliver, look after your own souls, and improve your ways and your deeds. Let everyone of you abandon his evil ways and thought and return to Elohim that he may have mercy on you”” (Kitzur Shulchan Arukh Book 3 p 78).
So the blowing is seen as a call to repentance and is in harmony with the next thing on Yahuah’s agenda as the Charismatic Church (the Israel of Elohim) has revealed it.
“Therefore having overlooked the Times of Ignorance, Elohim is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent. Because he has fixed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom he has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising him from the dead.” (Acts 17).
The blowing of the shofar is also linked to repentance by the prophets is also linked to judgement and repentance
“Blow ye the shofar in Zion,
And sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble
For the day of Yahuah cometh
For it is nigh at hand” Joel 2
Judah look each year to be inscribed in the book of life during Rosh Ha-shana, the prophets continue:
…Blow ye the shofar in Zion
Sanctify a fast, (This connects Yom Kippur with Rosh Ha-shana)
Call a solemn assembly
Gather the people
Sanctify the congregation
Assemble the elders
Gather the children
And those that suck the breasts
Let the bride groom go forth of his chamber
And the bride out of her closet
Let the priests, the ministers of Yahuah
Weep between the porch and the altar
And let them say
“Spare thy people O Yahuah
And give not thine heritage to reproach
That the heathen should rule over them
Wherefore should they say among the people
Where is their Elohim?
Then Yahuah will be jealous for his land
And pity his people”
So the shofar is important and through the assembly and whole scale repentance leading to a turn around in the situation in the land of Israel.
But will the nation, this year hear the sounding shofar. Will they continue on their own merry way or listen up to the sound of the shofar and the call for return to Yahuah and through his Mashiach Yeshua, in these days?
Judah hope they will be inscribed in the book of life at this time for the next 355 days or so. They desire that Yahuah will give good decrees for the following year on the earth for them and their family. The Charismatic Church (Ephraim Israel), made of Israel and Gentiles, the sons of the living El, also desire blessing on the coming year, in the earth, however their desire is to see as many people as possible inscribed in the book of eternal life. The book which is opened before the book of judgement which will allow certain people to live forever in the presence of Yahuah by the merit of the blood of Yeshua his son shed for the forgiveness of the sins of many.
On the first night of Rosh Ha-shana the Judah has a custom of greeting by saying “Leshana tovah tikatev vetichatem” May you be inscribed and sealed for a happy year, this is after the Maariv (evening service).
One subject of this book is showing that indeed the years are written. The plan of the life of the members of the Israel of Elohim, the Charismatic Church is not only written but we can also be aware of it and see how amazing are the plans of Elohim. In this book it is believed that Judah represents all the Jews today who do not believe in Mashiach Yeshua openly as Savior. And that Israel or Ephraim represents Jews and Gentiles who have been born again and are now sons of the living El as prophesied by Hosea. This is leading to the gathering together of the two communities at the end of the present age in a holy assembly for a rest of remembrance brought about by the blowing of the Holy Spirit in the voice of the restored prophecy in the Charismatic Church. As Yahuah decreed “Where it is said to them, “You are not my people” it will be said to the “the sons of the living El””
This statement was said of the gentiles and of the northern tribes of Israel at the time of Hosea. Gentiles were known not to have been Yahuah’s people because they had all sorts of other deities with whom they made covenants. As for Ephraim Israel Yahuah said “I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should forgive them.”…. When she had weaned No Compassion, she conceived and gave birth to a son. And he said “Name him “Loammi” for you are not my people and I am not yours. Yet the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sands of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it will come about that in the place where it is said to them “You are not my people” It will be said to them sons of the living El”.
This was said to the house of Israel, but not at that time to the house of Judah. Rather of Judah Yahuah said he would have compassion on them and would deliver them by Yahuah their Elohim, and will not deliver them by bow or sword, battle horses or horsemen. This happened in the days of Hezekiah, when Yahuah did some astounding miracles for Hezekiah and Jerusalem.
So the two houses in the 8th century BC took different paths one with compassion one without. One called not my people by Yahuah, the other continued to be his people.
Ephraim Israel then became the fullness of Goyim Jacob said he would be and 750 years later in 30 AD when the Church was born. The Church was sent by one (Yeshua) who was sent to the lost house of Israel and as they believed the gospel they became sons of the living El.
“To those who received him
Gave he the power to be sons of Elohim
Even to those who believed on his name”
Says the Apostle John in the first chapter of his gospel
Paul explains this in the ninth chapter of Romans how part of Israel (Judah) were hardened until the “fullness of the Goyim” would come in.
Hosea then prophesies the reconciliation of the two communities which will take place in our days by the power of the Holy Spirit, who makes us sons of the living El. “ And the sons of Judah, and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, and they will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader (Yah Yeshua)” This is why Yeshua will not return until Judah is ready to say “Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahuah”. This prophecy will require two restorations, the name of Yahuah, which a Rabbi in the Talmud accuses Yeshua of using. And a revelation to Judah and acceptance by them of who Mashiach really is:
Not Rabbi Akiva’s, Bar Kochba
Not Tzefat's, Isaac Luria or the Ari (even if all his disciples had believed they could not have rebuilt the temple until the true Mashiach manifests),
Not Shabbetai Tzvi, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of Jews and Rabbi’s thought he was the Mashiach and no matter how many kabalistic explanations of his Messianic position and then his apostasy into Nineveh,
Not Rabbi Menachem Mendel Sneerson, who won’t rise from the dead until he hears the voice of the Son of Elohim, Yeshua. And no matter how many Rabbi’s sign documents saying he fulfils the criterion laid down by Maimonides for the Mashiach, his bones won’t come out until Yeshua says “Rabbi Menachem, come forth”.
These dead men were not and could not have been the Mashiach Why? Because his position is already fulfilled and Judah (Jewish Orthodoxy and heterodoxy will need to face this revelation one day and receive Yeshua the Nazarene as some of them have already. That is the eyes of the heart Judah will need sight restored by the Spirit so they can see the glory of Elohim in the face of Yah Yeshua. And the language of Judah will need to change so they confess him as Yahuah.
So we see books are written at Yahuah’s commission so that we can see how his promises are fulfilled in the appointed times. Now is the appointed times of the restoration of Judah to their Mashiach and to their brothers the house of Israel who have already received, the Mashiach.
Yes the years are and have been planned out. For the house of Israel the years were decreed in the 8th century BC for hundreds of years. For Judah after they rejected Yeshua, the harsh decrees took place for thousands of years. But now by the Grace of Yahuah we can truly seek to have all Judah and Israel inscribed in the book of eternal life. With this reconciliation they will go up from the land together and gather in the rest of mankind and creation so that Yahuah will be all in all.
The book will cover the spiritual experiences of more than 10 years, that is; at least ten Rosh Ha-shanas took place in the time span of this book. And in many of them we will see the detailed leading of the Spirit to fulfill the blessed decrees of the Almighty Elohim in the life of one of his servants and those who were around him. For it is clear that for Edi Nachman to hear the voice of Yahuah in the mouth of a minister or a Rabbi, meant that Yahuah must had decreed that that minister would speak his voice at that point in time, so that Edi Nachman could hear it. In this book are many lessons which can be learned as to how Yahuah organizes events to confirm his word. For example after praying one night with a South American girl, Edi was given the word “You shall hear a voice behind saying this is the way walk in it”. He was praying for direction. The next morning in the Bible College of Wales a certain David was to share a devotional. This David did not like Edi Nachman one little bit. But when he got up there he said that a word had just pooped into his head. He read it “You shall hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way walk in it” And he advised if you are not sure which way to go, keep waking straight. If you take a wrong turning, you will hear the voice behind you because if you walk together with someone as we do with Yeshua, the voice is beside us. But if we then turn of the road and keep walking the voice will come from behind for we will have started walking away from Yeshua. I learnt from this that sometimes to confirm his word to us Yahuah just drops a thought in another believer mind. They then share that thought and we know Yahuah is leading.
T W O
Leq Leqa “Go for your own sake”
These are the words which began the call of Abram. They were the start of his spiritual journey, written for our instruction and Yahuah’s glory. This book is written for the same reason. One thing is for certain in the heart of Edi Nachman, not only is there no doubt about the existence of Elohim, but there is absolute certainty that he exists and is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
The New Covenant Community is a very privileged community. Every single member has the gift of the Holy Spirit. Every single member has all his sins forgiven because it’s a part of the covenant. The cup we drink in communion is Mashiach’s bloodshed for the forgiveness of the sins of many. The Charismatic Church (Ephraim Israel) is privileged to be included in the many. All the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places are available to Ephraim-Israel and it just so happens that the Charismatic Church takes advantage of the open check Yahuah has given to the whole Church more than any other Church community.
Why do I write this book? I write because I feel commissioned to write by the Holy Spirit. I am not an ordained minister, I am no more a priest than every other Spirit filled believer in the Church. I am not more righteous or better than anybody I have ever met, read, or heard about is. The only righteousness I possess is that of Mashiach, given to the Church for all eternity. I am saved by grace (Charis, Chen, Chesed) through faith (Emunah) and that not of my self it is a gift of Elohim, so that I can not boast in my own goodness. I am not worthy to have been blessed by Yahuah, I am weak and often sinful, I fall, I fail and go along wrong paths. I sometimes do not understand my actions and feel like the wicked who do not understand over what they stumble. I, as a person, am not better than the unbelieving Jew or Gentile. If they had the privileges of the gospel which I have had I’m sure each one of them, would have progressed a lot further than I have in the truth. It is Elohim who will judge those outside of the Church in this present evil age. But in the age to come he will judge the world and the angels through the saints (set apart ones) of the Church of our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach. We saints are no different to the people of the world, except in one thing, we possess a testimony, and are witnesses of the goodness of Elohim which he is working in the entire creation. The gospel we proclaim is not merely for man. It is for creation. And the whole creation will rejoice at our manifestation. The Apostle Paul says in Romans the eighth chapter that the whole creation groans as a women in child birth, having been subjected to futility or vanity.
“For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the son of Elohim. For the creation was subjected to vanity or futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it in hope, that the creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption into the freedom and glory of the children of Elohim”.
We the children of Elohim have a witness in ourselves as to who we are. “The Spirit bears witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of Elohim, and if children, heirs also, heirs of Elohim. And fellow heirs with Mashiach”. This is the goal of the creation. And we need to understand that the plan of Elohim for our lives is way bigger than we are. When we experience blessing and revelation and protection from danger, let us realize, it is not because we are more righteous than those around us. We are not, except for Yeshua the Mashiach and the forgiveness of sins which comes through his blood. It is because Yahuah has a plan and a purpose that we are blessed. And nothing in the entire creation can hinder this plan with any success. His plan is bigger than Nineveh and their god Melekh Assur. His plan is bigger than Atheism and their god Melekh Yavan. His plans, goes beyond the furthest star in the furthest of billions of galaxies. The creation appears infinite, Yahuah is infinite and created that same creation with the words of his mouth. We are connected through Yeshua, with the Elohim who made and sustains all things, and we are connected by birth. We are bought with a price and our lives are not our own. So let us understand Elohim’s plan is bigger than we are and all the blessing we receive as saints are to the end that Yahuah will be glorified and Elohim will be all in all.
This book is written at the commissioning of the Spirit. Every saint has the same spirit and so could write a similar book. “The wind blows where it desires and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from or where it is going; so is every one who is born of the Spirit”. I have found this to be the case in my life with the Spirit. You don’t know where you’ll be tomorrow and as certain as you think things look now, something surprising is bound to come up. Yahuah is an Elohim who acts suddenly and all are surprised. I bear the name Edi Nachman because in one spiritual experience, back in February of 1995, I was called Edi Nachman. From that time on I wondered what the name meant. I discovered in Israel in the year 2000 or thereabouts. Edi means my witness and Nachman means Comforter. So the Spirit is my witness and my spirit witnesses with the Holy Spirit not only that I am a child of Elohim but that Yahuah has a plan, detailed down to the very book you picked up yesterday in the bookstore. Detailed down to the very words you read this morning out of the Bible. Yahuah’s plan is so intricate and detailed that a thousand of the world’s greatest mathematicians would not be able to calculate the statistical probability of all the coincidences which take place in this book of part of my Spiritual life. I call this amazing harmony and peace which comes from walking in the Spirit, the Spirit filled intensity of the Spirit filled life.
I follow a number of practices which are practices of the Saints which enable us to see Yahuah’s wonderful plan for the redemption of creation take place in the life of the Charismatic Church daily.
Like Jeremiah and Isaiah and Joseph, I record my dreams and experiences. I record at the instruction of the Spirit. And why you may ask ? Because what Yahuah does in and through us needs to be remembered. This is one of the three functions of the Levite, who did Avodah (service) in singing. They had to thank, praise and remember Yahuah. We are all priests (in training) in Mashiach Yeshua, and need remember all the good things he did in, for and through us. This encourages our faith for the present situation. Jeremiah was told to
“Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a sefer (book scroll).”
And for what purpose we may ask?
“For behold days are coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah” Jer 29. Daniel read Yirmimyahwa’s book and started praying for that restoration of fortunes, not long after it happened. We too can read books and move to prayer on issues the Holy Spirit high lights in the present new millenium.
This scripture in Jeremiah and others like it have been part of Yahuah’s instruction for me to write. A key one was Habukuk’s encouragement
“Then Yahuah answered me and said
“Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets,
that the one who reads it may run.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail.””
This connection of the vision and appointed times is very important in the Kingdom of Elohim. Yahuah gave appointed times to Israel to live out their yearly lives. However, these were pointing to the appointed times Yahuah had planned for all history for all creation. The creation waits, Habukuk waits, the disciples wait in Jerusalem. Why all this waiting? Because Yahuah works in appointed times, not just in the calendar of Judah, not just in creation calendar but in the calendar he has set up for the Charismatic Church Ephraim-Israel and for each individual son of Elohim in that Church. Every child of Yahuah has appointed times prepared before by Yahuah for his glory.
T W O
According to his Purpose
Everything works in the cycles of appointed times. We are not always aware of this but know this: nothing in the spiritual life happens by chance. Yeshua rode into Jerusalem, when the people were tying up their lambs for Pesach. He was examined and tested in the temple while Israel was testing the lambs for suitability for sacrifice. He was crucified when the people were sacrificing their lambs. He was arrested and tried in a hurry, as Israel had to be ready to move out of Egypt in a hurry. He was raised and ascended to his fathers house on the feast of Omer, when Israel were waving their first growth of the barley harvest in the temple. He sent down the Holy Spirit after the counting of the Omer, the seven weeks and the Church was born on the day the nation of Israel had been born in the feast of Shavuot, weeks, Yom Chamashim or Pentecost. Nothing happened by chance. The next feast is that of the blowing of trumpet on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh biblical month. We can expect the next move of Yahuah on this day. It is the preparation for judgement day. It is called by Moses a Shabaton Zichron Troah a rest of remembrance by blowing. It is a holy assembly and clearly we remember something through the blowing of the trumpet. To blow requires breath. So it is in the spiritual realm the breath of the Spirit blows and we raise our voice like a trumpet. The three key elements of the biblical day which is now called Rosh Ha-shana, head of the year, are the rest, the remembrance and the blowing. Judah connects Rosh Ha-shana with judgement day. To them Yahuah decrees the coming year as to what will happen to each person on the first or second of Tishrei. To the Charismatic Church, Ephraim-Israel, judgement day is the day Yahuah will judge all men through a man he has appointed and shown it forth by raising him from the dead, through our Lord Yah Yeshua. Rosh Ha-shana is also linked to resurrection of the dead in the thinking of Judah. Nothing happens by chance in the words of Systematic Theology the world is governed by Elohim’s providence. In the words of Rabbi Yitzchok Breiter
“ The foundation of all Rebbe Nachman’s teachings is to know and understand that everything happens to us, both spiritually and materially, including what we our selves do, whether deliberately or unwittingly, willfully or under compulsion- all comes about through the decree of Elohim” Seven Pillars of faith p11.
Prayer Turns Coincidences into Yah-incidences
Even if you pray and open your Bible at “random” the word which comes is the word to you from the Spirit at the time. Many preachers make jokes about this approach, but almost all believers have done it at some time or another, normally in difficult times when they really need to hear from Yahuah. Well, as any good Jewish Orthodox Breslover knows, nothing happens by chance. Yahuah rules and Mashiach is all and in all. King Ahaseurus’s chronicles must have been thousands of pages long. Yet when he woke up at night it just so happened to be the scroll talking about Mordechai. Yahuah’s name is not written anywhere in the book of Esther and yet he is the hidden one controlling everything, even the pages of the book King Ahasuerus would read and so leading to the deliverance of the Jewish people. People fear this method and always tell the joke about the man who opened the Bible at random and read “Judas went out and hung himself” Not being happy with this reading, they open again “Go thou and do likewise”. But the fact is that almost all of us at some time had the Bible fall open at a verse which spoke straight into our lives and gave us confidence that Yahuah was with us and knew our situation.
The Directing of the Spirit to Dundee led to Blessing
I once had to decide whether to leave for the town of Dundee in Scotland, immediately the same night or the next day. I prayed and opened the scripture and was given a verse which I understood to mean go now. So I left that night and arrived in Dundee for the first time in my life.
The next morning I went to the local Christian bookshop as my equivalent to a spiritual tourist information. I asked them about the churches in the town and the times of meeting. They told me about the Full Gospel Church which held an outreach lunch for the poor, the same day I arrived. I went straight to the lunch. I met the amazing and humble pastor of that church and made some contacts. They arranged for a place for me to stay with an Assemblies of God pastor, in another part of town. Months later I ended up preaching in that same outreach lunch for the poor.
Now to open the Bible at random was not the only way to hear from the Spirit of Yah. But it was a way I knew I could hear and it was less emotional and subjective than me trying to listen to a voice in my heart. Do not get me wrong, we hear Yahuah’s voice through the inner witness of peace, the inner still small voice, the voice of the prophet, the way of some circumstances. We hear through the closing and opening of doors, feelings in the body (for it is his house), advice of pastors or wise believers or friends, even unbelievers can be used to help us on the way and even the audible voice. The practice of opening the Bible was not even available to the early Church. For they didn’t even have the whole Bible. They might have had the Torah and some Prophets and just the letter to the Colossians for example. And that letter was sent only to the leadership and they had to read it to the whole church.
If some one wanted a copy they would have to write it personally! They had the living examples of the Apostles who drew lots to decide who would take succeed to a place among them as an Apostle, the highest role in the Church.
They first used their accepted criteria, then they prayed and had the two disciples draw lots. They knew that the Apostle chosen was Yahuah’s appointed man to join in the witness about Yeshua.
Yahuah can speak any way he pleases. He will speak through a Daily Bread or a Daily Light or a Streams in the Desert, reading plan for the Bible or a donkey, an eagle or a man with a voice like a trumpet. He will speak by sending angels as was Yahuah’s practice in the early Church. We can expect this more and more as the revival spreads restoring all things to Israel, angels will appear to leaders of the military, like to Cornelius the Centurion and to rescue saints and give them instructions as the angel who set Peter free from prison did.
The Protection of the Holy Spirit in Lahore, Pakistan
He will bring to our mind words of Yeshua and examples of the apostles for us to follow. In 1997 I was in the city of Lahore in Pakistan. I stayed in a very noisy hostel which I think was called the Green Hostel. I did not sleep well because the fan was so noisy but I needed the fan because it was extremely hot . I woke up and felt I had something wrong with my stomach. A man offered me a stomach massage in the hostel. While he did this I was watching my wallet very closely. They had agreed to get me a cheap ticket to the train. I was going to travel 24 hours to Quetta in the Baluchistan desert bordering Afghanistan . As the hostel assistant and I walked towards the train station into my spirit came the song
“Jesus Lord Jesus, what a wonder you are,
You’re brighter than the morning star.
Your fairer much fair than lily that grows by the ways side,
Your precious more precious than gold.”
You are the rose of Sharon
As this part of the song came my eyes dropped to my wallet. I looked inside and thought to my self “I’m sure there were one hundred fifty dollars more this morning”. I pondered how could they have got the money out, I had been watching very carefully. Then the thought came to me about Paul’s nephew. He had found out that some Judeans were planning to kill Paul after telling the governor to move him from Caeserea to Jerusalem for trial. Paul told his nephew to tell no one but the commander of the place about what he had heard. So I thought I must tell no one but the owner of the hostel. I asked the man with me to take me back to the hostel. I told him I’d forgotten some notes. We walked along and he was trying to get more information out of me, but I just said there was nothing to worry about. I walked into the hostel and asked to see the owner. We sat down and I said “one hundred and fifty dollars of my money went missing in your hostel.” He said then the servants will go and bring it. In two minutes I had my hundred and fifty dollars, which helped me to get to Athens, Hallelu Yah. You see the example of the Apostle Paul was prompted to my heart, along with a song I learned years before in Church. These together with my action protected me in that situation in the middle of nowhere among hundreds of thousands of strangers in an extreme political regime which would kill you for laughing at the wrong joke, if you were a Christian. If we look at this situation in terms the Rabbi might speak of, I had a harsh decree sent out to me from the previous Rosh Ha-shana. The decree said “Edi must have one hundred and fifty dollars stolen from him on this day at this time by these people.” But then Yeshua and the Holy Spirit, sweetened the judgement and the harsh decree was overturned and now through your reading the story Yahuah gets the glory. So understand hearing the voice of Yahuah in songs or in the examples of his Apostles, Prophets or Qodeshim (saints) can sweeten the harsh decrees of Rosh Ha-shana.
Praying and reading the Word of Elohim each Morning brings great blessing to the day
Yahuah will speak at the time you need to hear and what you need to hear. He will also speak if your daily reading plan is to pray
“Heavenly Father
your will be done in my life today
may I go where you want me to go
hear what you want me to hear
see what you want me to see
live as you want me to live
love as you want me to love
say what you want me to say
walk as you want me to walk
Your will be done in my life today
I bind, break and destroy
any plan scheme or work of the enemy
of the evil one which would seek to hinder your will
being done in my life today
in the name of Yah Yeshua or Our Lord Jesus Christ Amen
And then open the Bible at random for a word for the day. This starts the day off with prayer and commits it into Yahuah hands and gives you a scripture for the day. It also takes less than two minutes and so all can do it and set the day on the right path. This prayer and reading of Yahuah’s word has been a blessing to many some of whom were in doubt when I described the process the Holy Spirit taught me. The Scripture and the Holy Spirit are our Urim (lights) and Thummim (perfections). The Scripture is our light and it is the Holy Spirit who is going to enable us to be presented perfect in Mashiach. David inquired regularly of Yahuah through the Ephod of the High Priest, we too have the privilege of inquiring of Yahuah when decisions need to be made. We listen to Yah’s voice whichever way he may choose to speak.
Yahuah speaks all the time but do we hear him?
He will also speak if you wake up after a dream and record it immediately. Then you pray a short prayer asking Yahuah to give you a scripture to go with the dream. He will speak and you won’t need to fast 7 days to hear his voice. He will speak regularly and you won’t need to consult someone with wisdom or the gift of prophecy every time you need a semi major decision. I once had two job interviews on the same day. I looked at the details and the job in the south had a strong religious education department and was down on the coast. The other was in the north in an industrial region. It did not sound very exciting. I wanted to attend both interviews, so I decided to call and try to change the date of the interview in the North.
I spoke with a lady and she agreed to change the date. At the end of the call she asked my why I wanted it changed. I told her because I had another interview. She then said they would like me to come but they couldn’t change it for that reason.
I thought about it and rang to confirm the interview in the South. Afterwards I would cancel the one in the North. On Friday afternoon I called to the South, but they had closed the school early that day. This meant I couldn’t do anything until Monday. I slept and dreamt that I was being told to go north not south, I was being pushed north. So I changed my decision based on the dream.
I attended the interview, everything during that day ran as smooth as clock work. I got the job and worked in that school the following year.
Please note there was no voice of Yahuah in the dream. It was a dream from the Spirit which simply indicated I should go north not south. We are born again and so generally what we receive will be from our born again Spirit and clearly the fruit helps you to understand that the direction was from above and not below. My understanding that Yahuah speaks to us in dreams is founded mainly on the speech of Elihu in the book of Job
“Indeed El speaks once or twice,
yet no one notices it.
In a dream a vision of the night,
when sound sleep falls on men,
while they slumber in their beds,
then he opens the ears of men
and seals their instruction” Job 33
The day is a time when we learn things but the lessons are not sealed except in the night hours. And note that he describes a dream as a vision of the night. A dream is a vision, a night vision. Then we know that in the New Covenant which Epraim-Israel is a part of Yahuah says
“I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh,
And your sons and daughter shall prophesy.
And your young men shall see visions,
and your old men dream dreams.” Acts 2
And under the Old Covenant
“If there be a prophet among you
I Yahuah will make myself know unto him
In a vision
And will speak unto him in a dream”
Dreams and visions are a direct result of the outpouring of the Spirit of Yahuah on a community. It is okay to listen to dreams as long as Yahuah get the glory and not the dreamer. After all my dreams I ask Yahuah to give me a scripture to go with the dream. Then I open the Bible to wherever it opens and read. I then record the chapter and verse along with the dream. Most dreams will not need immediate if any attention. Most dreams we will not understand. Some dreams will contain a spiritual song or hymn in the midst of them. Some will contain scripture.
Should I apply for this job or not?
I was trying to decide whether I should return to work at a certain school in Jerusalem. I had tried and failed to contact them.
I had left my name on an answering machine and received no answer. So I was uncertain as to whether they wanted me back or not. I left it in Yahuah’s hands and prayed for divine appointments if he wanted me to work with the school again. I had a dream where one student was very upset with me. Her mother came and we talked. We resolved the problem and the mother invited me to come back to the School. A few days later I bumped into a lady who also worked at the school. She told me that they needed history teachers. And told me to go along, that was the subject I had taught previously. But I didn’t really want to go along because I had left the message on the answering machine of the founder of the school and had received no reply. The next night I dreamt a dream where I was on my way to Jerusalem school and it said they had a couple of classes available. During those few days I was continually getting the song Humble thyself in the sight of Yahuah. And he shall lift you up. In fact it was quite amusing to me because in the first couple days I was getting a lot of emphasis on “He shall lift you up”. But as the day approached for me to go to the school the emphasis was clearly on “humble thyself in the sight of Yahuah”. The next morning I went over to the school. I spoke with some one and said “I heard you need some teachers.” He said “I don’t think so, I think we’re ok”. He said they began next week and if they needed anyone they maybe they would contact me after school started. We went inside and he said he would talk to another authority and I left my number. I asked if I could expect a call, that night, I was thinking about my need to prepare ahead of time. He said that maybe they would call me by the end of the week. I was a little embarrassed for other teachers around knew me and were there in these conversations. I left. I said Yahuah I give this whole thing into your hands. It’s not my business any more. I considered my self thoroughly humbled.
The next morning I was sitting in a library about to study the history of the Bishops Bible. My phone rang. It was the principal of the school. He said “We need you”. And I went along the same day and started to prepare.
Once Yahuah has spoken, and he often does at the last minute, he will open all necessary doors as you will see in this book. Only once did I hear a booming voice from Yahuah and that was a long time ago and almost scared the living daylights out of me. Let us accept that Yahuah uses everything to speak to us and it is better for us this way. He is more willing to speak than we are to listen and even as a husband speaks to his wife every day, so Yeshua speaks to his bride all the time in one way or another, especially when he has a job to be done. Our key role in this relationship is to learn to hear the voice of Yahuah and to obey it. It is this which enables are to be changed into the image of his Son.
In my experiences of walking in the Spirit their are heights and depths of Mashiach that I haven’t even begun to understand. I can only conclude that this thing is a lot bigger than we are and even as we don’t have the capacity to number the stars, like Yahuah does, so we don’t have the understanding to comprehends the height, depth, and breadth of the love of Mashiach. We are finite minds dealing with infinite possibilities.
Singing Praises Definitely brings Blessings
I do not pray in the Spirit every morning nor do I sing to Yahuah every morning. However both these practices have been very beneficial in my and the Church’s spiritual experience. When you pray in the Spirit (see 1Cor 14) you begin to speak the secrets of Yahuah. You also move your life out of the natural realm into the spiritual realm and you will see more and more clearly the plan of Yahuah manifesting in your life. The same is true of singing to Yahuah. Paul advises
“Do not be drunk with wine for this is dissipation
but be filled with the Spirit,
speaking to one another in psalms
hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody
in your heart to Yahuah”
So singing to Yahuah can fill us with the Spirit. And Paul makes a connection between singing Psalms and being filled with the Spirit. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov made similar connection in his Outpouring of the Soul. He said by reciting the Psalms one could reach the level of Holy Spirit. This level is rare among the non Messianic Jewish communities. But the whole Charismatic Church, Jew and Gentiles is already on this level, for it is the beginning level of the Church. Since I have been in Israel some Jews have asked me “How can you be so sure about Elohim? This book is the answer to that question.
Book 6
O N E
Zion
“Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate” Lam 5:19
This whole plan of writing this book, of crying out for revival and the restoration of prophecy, is actually all about Zion. Zion is the source of Yahuah’s instruction. Zion-Jerusalem is the source of Yahuah’s word. It is for Zion’s sake that Yahuah is gathering his Israel and Judah from the ends of the earth. The first day of the seventh month is linked in some sense with the 7th day, Shabbat for man and animals, the seventh year, Shabbat for the land and a rest for the economic system with all debts forgiven and all involuntary slaves, set free. The seventh millenium when we as the creation enter into the rest of Yahuah and enjoy true worship with no obstacles no idolatry. This whole plan comes down to Zion ruling. Yahuah speaks to us to change us back into the fullness of his image as reflected in Yeshua the Nazarene. The decrees which go out on Rosh ha-shana go out in the form of prophecy. They are the sayings of Yahuah. The spirit of prophecy which abides in Ephraim-Israel is the Ed or witness of Yeshua the Mashiach. Everything is for Yahuah’s glory and when he glorifies Zion he will be glorified.
I will divide the testimony into days of years and two volumes. The first day, being from Shabbaton Troah Zichron 1990 to 1991. It was during this period that Yahuah decreed the Gulf War II and sent the King of Babylon (Bab Ilu /Ilah in Arabic gate of Sadam Hussein’s god who is Al-ilah contracted to one word), Sadam Hussein, into Kuwait and raised him up to challenge Israel. He then sent the nations of the earth against the King of Babel and restrained him for a time. It was during this period that I realized that the future of the nation of Israel and the Church were intimately linked. Perhaps I knew it before. But I do not recollect everything. The last day will be the present day and the book will be split into two parts. Part one from October 10th 1990 to February 8th 1996 when I reached my 31st birthday. The Second Part will run from February 17th 1996 to the present whenever that will happen to be.

In February 1991 I was working temporarily in a publishing company. I really needed a more permanent job in order to pay of a visa debt I had run up. So I was praying daily for a permanent job. I was also praying for another thing at the same time. I was praying for the end of the Gulf War II. We were all busy watching the daily reports about what was happening over in Israel and Iraq. During the middle of the month I was doing my morning meditation. Just sitting still next the wall of my house. I began just to repeat with kavanah the name of Yeshua. Yeshua, Yeshua Yeshua. As I was repeating his wonderful name, a thought came into my head. “Be still an know that I am Elohim”. I thought to myself, What is this thought doing disturbing my meditation. I went back to the speaking of the name Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua.
I headed of to work. This was quite a task. I took the bus from Catford to Lewisham. I then took the train from Lewisham to Charing Cross. I then walked down into the underground and caught the Northern line to Old street. I got off as Old street and began to walk towards my office. Suddenly I realized Elohim spoke to me this morning. Another realization came to me almost immediately, Yahuah’s going to do something about my job today. I jumped for joy in the realization. This was exciting. Even if you’ve seen a hundred prayers answered, every new answer is fresh from heaven and brings great joy. I headed into the office.
When I arrived I noticed that one seat was empty. It was the seat of Paul a Roman Catholic. I always worried about him because he used to carry around a weeks sins because he went to confession once a week. I used to imagine what would have happened to me if I had to carry around a week’s sins. I would have died before the week was out, I was sure of it. Well I arrived in the office and Paul, a relatively new, but permanent employee was no longer there. The managing director came to me and asked if I would be willing to sit in while they sorted them selves out. I, a temporary worker, was willing.
After I realised Elohim had spoken to me, I wanted to go to the scripture and see the context of the command he had given me. It was I knew ins Psalm 46.It read
“ Elohim is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble
Therefore we will not fear
Though the earth be removed
And though the mountain be carried
into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters roar and be troubled
Though the mountains shake with swelling there of
Selah
There is a river,
the streams whereof shall make glad the city of Elohim
the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High
Elohim is in her midst, she shall not be moved
Elohim shall help her and that right early
The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved
He uttered his voice, the earth melted
Yahuah Tzevaoth is with us
Elohim of Yacov is our refuge, Selah
Come behold the works of Yahuah
What desolations he hath made in the earth
He maketh wars to cease unto the ends of the earth
He breaketh the bow
And cutteth the spear in sunder
He burneth the chariot in fire
Be still and know that I am Elohim
I will be exalted among the heathen
I will be exalted in the earth
Yahuah Tzevaoth is with us
The Elohim of Yacov is our refuge.
Selah
I concluded from reading the Psalm of the sons of Korah that Yahuah was going to do something about my job and that he was going to bring the gulf war to an end. Over the next two weeks I was given a permanent job in the office receiving one and half times the salary of the relieved worker. I was a little concerned about the fact that I received a job someone lost. However I accepted in the end that if one can not complete a job satisfactorily, you would not want it any more than you can do it.
I started the job the first Monday after the weekend the Gulf War finished and I was happy to see how Yahuah had spoken to me so clearly.
Clearly I had had many blessing decreed to me that year. And this blessing of the job was one decree which enabled me to clear my debt.
At this time in 1991 I was attending Kensington temple in London. I had taken a break from training to be an accountant and so was temping whilst I prayed about what to do. In my journal of this period I have the following recorded from June 1991.
“And it came to pass that on the 23rd of June 1991 Edi Nachman was in prayer to Yahuah and he cried to Yahuah saying
“Oh Elohim, I pray for the manifestation of the mightiness of your Spirit in Israel. Oh Elohim, lift up your name, be exalted among the people of Israel. Show yourself glorious in their presence”
And as he prayed he heard the Spirit speak into his heart:
“I have purposed to move among my people, Israel. They will see my glory, they will know my face. I am Elohim of the whole earth. I will rule over all creation. They do not know how much I will do for my sake through them. Lift up your eyes and see. See what I will do.”
And the Spirit spoke again saying
“Tremble for my people, my son, for there is much coming on them
which would seem fearful. But I know my purposes.
For they are for the good of my people.
And the Spirit spoke again saying
“Shake the dust off you feet,
for there are many , who are not interested in my word.
I would seek to draw them to myself.
But they are neither interested nor care for my word to them.
They are not humble, nor do they show humility
But rather they are proud and arrogant.
Keep praying for them, my son.
Them whom Yahuah your Elohim has called you to pray for
See if I will not move mountains on your behalf.
See if I will not glorify my name, in your presence.
That you will see my glory manifested among the peoples
Of the earth.
I love to reach out to the peoples of the earth,
To show them my love.”
Therefore says Yahuah
“I will move the boundary stones of Israel, until I have established
The nation as I had purposed in the beginning.
That the glory of Yahuah would shine forth from Jerusalem.
And the word of Yahuah will go forth from Zion.
Ah! I am moving in the nations, bringing a crowd of nations
Against my people Israel.
But I will strike them with the rod of my mouth
They will not stand a chance against my people Israel.
Ah! No not at all for I have established Jerusalem
As a praise for the nations.
Salvation goes forth from Jerusalem,
for that is where I will take my residence.
I will live there.
And people will know that I only am Elohim.
Not one is comparable to me, supreme above all creation.
I am Elohim.
Let them compare me with these, and see how far
Short all fall of my glory.
None is comparable to me, Not one.
Any who seek to compare me will know this.
I am the invisible, the immortal, incontrovertible
The infallible, inerrant personal Elohim.
Let none dare stand where I told them to bow.
Let none bow whom I have raised up.
For I speak and all things are done,
Just as I purposed them in my word,
By which comes faith, which can change the world.
Hear me and see my glory.
Here on earth will I establish my Kingdom.
Where no man who has not known me will enter.
That I am full of steadfast love, and righteousness,
Justice and compassion.
Oh I am compassionate and I love to be so.”
The year of 1991 moved on. The decrees which Yahuah had spoken over my life continued to take effect. I worked steadily in the Old street office of Two Can Publishing. Each Wednesday night I would go to the prayer meeting in Kensington Temple from about 6pm to 8pm. Then I would follow that attendance at the young peoples group of Kensington Temple headed up by a certain Alistair and Vicky. Each Friday and Saturday night I would go with a group of regulars to Leicester Square and outreach to the passersby by and especially to the Muslim contingent. We used to debate, preach, exhort and cry out on the streets for people turn to Yahuah.
One Wednesday my new boss in Two Can Publishing took me aside and said that his bosses were not happy with the speed of my work. They were going to give me a month to improve. I was actually the only surviving member of the office, which I had joined. All others had come and gone. We had been working on the computerization of the accounts systems and I had even been involved in hiring temporary workers. When my immediate boss gave me a month I was surprised for we had achieved quite a lot. I decided I would go to the prayer meeting and shout to Yahuah on the issue. I would find out from Yahuah, himself, what he thought about the work, I was doing in the job, he gave me.
I arrived at the meeting and they gave us a prayer topic then we all went to intercession in tongues. At top of our voices eight hundred of us would cry to Yahuah. I asked Yahuah what he thought about my work in Two Can Publishing, after all he was the highest authority. I completed my intercession and the prayer meeting finished. I then went downstairs to see what answer Yahuah would give me. In those days it was a very regular procedure I went through. Cry to Yahuah in the prayer meeting and then in the smaller m, young people group where there were only about a hundred people he would answer through a prophetic word or through some other manner. So I sat in the young peoples meeting with my pen and the diary at the ready for Yahuah’s answer. And you may ask what was his answer?
Well Phil Whitehead a new member of KT’s ministry team said one person was in the meeting whose boss was giving them a hard time. The Lord Yeshua says “Your boss is expecting too much of you. He wants you to know he very pleased with you. He wants you to see him with a big smile on his face. Yes he wants you to see him with a big smile on his face.” Well as you can imagine I was very thankful to Yahuah for such an answer and told Phil sometime afterwards.
I returned to work and continued to work faithfully at my task, which was not an easy one, because of the financial difficulties the company was having and me having to deal with the creditors. The thirty days passed and my boss Steve said I was working very well and things could continue.
During this period from about eighteenth of the eight month to the twenty eighth of the eighth month I visited Israel for the first time. I do not remember much from this trip.
A couple of months later
It was coming up to my sixth month in the office. This was really the time I was planning to work for. I thought I had other plans after this. However I was earning a lots of money and was enjoying the benefits. Again on a Wednesday
I got the sense that things were not all well in the office. I knew one managing director liked me, but was not so sure about the other whom I had not had much contact with. On Wednesday 9th of October or the ninth day of the tenth month I went to Yahuah about the issue again. This time I had not been spoken to, by my boss but I knew how to read the signs. Whenever Steve took a day off someone got let go the next day. I had seen him take two half days off. This meant someone was going. I looked around the office and I was the only one who fitted the bill. I knew something was up.
I attended the prayer meeting that evening and went to asking Yahuah what was going on. I then went downstairs to the young people’s meeting and listened for the answer. The word came about one person who was between two careers. He feared that if he didn’t continue with his old career he would have wasted all those years. I was in this period taking a break from training to be a Chartered Accountant. I was already Part Qualified. If I wanted to return I had three months to do it. So I would have to look for a placement at that time.
The person gave a scripture, which I took down as relevant for me.
“Fear not, O land
be glad and rejoice
for Yahuah will do great things
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field:
For the pastures of the wilderness do spring
For the tree beareth her fruit
The fig tree and the vine yield their fruit together
Be glad then
Ye children of Zion
And rejoice in Yahuah you Elohim
For he hath given you the former rain modestly
And he will cause to come down for you the rain
The former rain and the latter rain
In the first month
And the floors shall be full of wheat
And the vats shall overflow with wine and oil
And I will restore to you the years
that the locusts hath eaten,
the cankerworm, and the caterpillar
and the palmer worm,
my great army which I sent among you.
And you shall eat in plenty,
And be satisfied
And praise the name of Yahuah your Elohim
That hath dealt wondrously with you:
And my people shall never be ashamed.
And It will come to pass afterwards,
That I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh
And your sons and daughters shall prophesy
Your old men shall dream dreams
Your young men shall see visions
And also upon my the servants
And upon the handmaids
In those days will I pour out my Spirit
And I will show wonders in the heavens
And in the earth blood
And fire and pillars of smoke.
The sun shall be turned to darkness,
And the moon into blood
Before the great and terrible day of Yahuah come.
And it shall come to pass that whosoever
Shall call upon the name of Yahuah shall be delivered:
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance
As Yahuah hath said,
And in the remnant whom Yahuah shall call.”
Joel 2
So I did not get a direct answer to my request.
However when I protested to Yahuah he spoke to me saying
“Did I not say things would become clear?
And have they not done so
Are you not now getting a right perspective
On that which is important and that which is
Excess and superfluous”
I replied “Yahuah is it possible even in the excess to be guided?
The Spirit replied
“Some people I guide and some people I leave to choose”
Yahuah is it possible to ask to be certain of being among the guided?
“You ask a hard question. For I guide whom I will and I leave whom I will
It is not usual for me to tell anyone whom I am guiding
And who not. Though each of them knows whether they are guided or not”
Was it not getting clearer what was important in the eyes of
Yahuah as opposed to man’s perspective?
On Thursday the tenth day of the tenth month I felt like a stranger in the Two Can Publishing office like I didn’t belong their any more. On Friday as I expected Steve called me up to his office. He said he had to let me go. And that it was a shame really because he liked me. One of the Managing Directors insisted on it. He then gave me a lump sum cheque, which he said I did not have to pay tax on. It was one thousand eight hundred and twenty four pounds sterling. I have never earned that much in one month before or since. It was enough to pay for my visa debt completely and to live on in the meanwhile. I was rejoicing in Yahuah, for the purpose of the job was to pay of the debt. I had run up the debt in 1990 when I had gone to America to a Leadership Development Institute with the Navigators in Colorado Springs. That course was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life as Glen Eyrie where the course took place.
And my leaving this job is the close of the first of my ten days of awe. It was morning and evening the first day and with sunset on that Friday the 11th October the day closed and day 2 began. Yahuah no doubt decreed my following year and the opening of a new leaf in the book of my life. At the time the book of my life consisted of 26 pages and a half. Each page being a solar year long. My spiritual life at the time consisted of 17 pages for I was born again at nine years old, baptized at about 12 and baptized in the spirit directly at thirteen years old. Since the baptism of the spirit then 13 pages of Spiritual life had occurred. Now on the 11th of October on Erev shabbat a new page opened.
T W O
DAY OF AWE 2
The Day of Preparation for the Call to Zion
October 11th 1991- October 10th 1992
The Call to be Yahuah’s Evangelist for Zion’s Sake
I left the job that night rejoicing, but uncertain what was next. I had the word “fear not O land, be glad and rejoice: for Yahuah will do great things. This was a pretty encouraging passage to carry around. And in retrospect it was nice that the passage ended with those whom Yahuah would call. At the time this verse did not stand out to me. But what happened over the next three days connects very well with that verse in Joel. I went to Leicester to do the usual Friday night witness.
Earlier that week I had had a small vision. I started floating upward in an empty building, like a small church hall, with red seats. Suddenly it turned into a large auditorium like the Royal Albert Hall in London. I floated through this empty opera house and as I approached the light in the ceiling they were not lights in the ceiling but stars in the night sky. I was amazed. This now reminds me of the promise of Yahuah to Abram that his seed would be as numberless as the stars of the heavens. It also reminds of the wise who will shine like the stars in the sky as revealed to Daniel.
This is all in retrospect. I mention the vision because that night in Leicester some a certain Alan came up to me with a word from Yahuah. He said his words usually come to pass. He said now was the time not to go backward but to push forward. He said He saw a church building which was empty and the church was prepared for me. And Yahuah said he would fill the Church although now it was empty. He said now was the time to be a faithful son and that I should pray in tongues a lot. I was amazed with this word about another empty building, and to this day I’m not sure if Alan had heard my testimony about the empty buildings.
The night moved on and had a big chat with a friend of my called Andy. He was a roving teacher who was constantly studying the word and discussing with Muslims and showing deep insight to the scripture. We discussed Yeshua’s prayer “Not my will but thy will be done” We discussed in the context of me losing my job and wondering what I would be doing next. The next day I went with a friend to a talk by Richard Wurmbrand. He was a Romanian Pastor who had spent fourteen years in solitary confinement during the years of communism. I was given his testimony “Tortured for Mashiach” many years before for either for my baptism or for some competition I’d won at church. His message was “Not my will but thy will be done. I was amazed at the coincidence. This was Saturday, Motzei Shabbat on the 12th of the 10th month.
The next day I awoke and said to my friend, “If I am to have something to do with evangelism, Alistair Taylor will talk to me today”. I woke up with a sense of this. I went to the Church. Colin Dye the Senior Pastor at KT spoke on the prayer “Not my will but thy will be done” He said we need to cross our “I”’s out and do Yahuah’s will. So I understood three different ministers, Andy, Richard and Colin. Three different places in three days and the same message “Not my will but thy will be done”. The very prayer of consecration, which Yeshua, made in the Garden of Gethsemane before his departure to heaven’s heights from Jerusalem. Since then I have seen that this must be the most powerful prayer in the universe. From in three days Yeshua was taken from the lowest point in the universe, the pit of hell, to the highest point in the universe, the right hand of Elohim the Father, and all because of this prayer of the will of the Father. It is now my daily prayer to pray the will of the Father. I came to understand that we can trust Yahuah for all he wants for us is our good, really. His will is always the best thing for us and when I pray with any one who comes to me for prayer, I establish first that they want the will of the Father. When that is clear, I pray with them. Through this process many peoples situation have turned around very fast. Whenever I get a little confused or down or uncertain I pray the will of the Father and something happens to show me that Yahuah is with me.
Well, getting back to the story, after Colin Dye had preached Alistair Taylor came up to me and said “Edi, I’ve put you forward for the head of an evangelism team if that ok”. I said yes that’s fine. I was already out every weekend at Leceister square on Friday and Saturday nights and at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park on Sundays. This Sunday the thirteenth of the 10th month was no exception. I and my friend we headed over there, after the service. At speakers corners hundreds of people were around as usually. The Muslims, the political quacks, the Christian Atheists were all out in full force. And of course the Bible thumping preachers were out their thundering forth the gospel. I myself was there at the commissioning of Yahuah. As you will see from some of the prophecies in this book. I was there to help the Christians who were not so strong in theology and so could be deceived by the Muslims and Atheists and their wiles and lies. I would send out a challenge to the Muslims and they would go get their Imam, only to find I spoke to their Imam last week. Their whole group would bring a tape recorder to record our answers to their objections so they could come back a week later and answer our challenges. Yahuah indeed preserved me in this time for many Christians, evangelists, were beaten up by the Muslims.
I once was up their preaching. It was a rare time where a crowd actually gathered around me. In general I had very little anointing and perhaps one person would stop by to listen while I whittled on, with my squeaky voice. “And there no other name given among men whereby you may be saved, Mohamed will not save you, Buddha won’t save you. Krishna can’t save you. These men died and stayed dead, but Yeshua, he rose from the dead and is now sat at the right hand side of Elohim the Father. He will return to judge the quick and the dead” And so I would go on and so one or two person would listen. But on that particular Sunday a crowd gathered and I was taking questions. And the Pan African hated me because I was black and preaching Jesus. The only Jesus that knew was a slave ship run by a John somebody or other. The Muslims were angry because Yeshua was the only way to the Father. Well they were all getting louder and louder as I spoke. Then a policeman came and called me down from the ladder. I walked down the ladder and through a tunnel of shouting hand waving Muslims and Pan Africans. I had them on one side and the other. If Yahuah were not with me I’m sure I would have been afraid. The police told me he felt I should leave for my safety sake because the crowd were beginning to face up the police, that is they were not giving due respect. I figured if Yahuah caused the policemen to call me down it must be for my safety and left.
Another time I was whittling away on top of the faithful ladder, with my squeaky voice. And a thick muscled Pan African with a big gold tooth and a deep voice came up. He said “Why don’t I just kick you down off that ladder”. Needless to say I tried to ignore him and carried on squeaking away with my high pitched noises. I felt a little threatened. I went home and went to binding that spirit of violence in that man, through the power of prayer. The next week he came up to me as friendly as ever and made a joke!
Once I was at Leceister Square and the Christians were trying to preach. Then a drunk man came up and started throwing his weight around. The poor Christian preachers stopped preaching for fear of this man. I thought no way. So I went there and began preaching. He was about to come and attack me, when two Muslims, yes Muslims, stepped in and told him to leave me alone. Then their was the time when my Muslim friend got so mad he took off his coat and was ready go two boxing rounds with me. Just as he was about to hit me a big Christian, immature in the faith, stepped in to defend me.
I was saved many times for I was commissioned with a specific promise of protection. Some of my Christians brothers were attacked and suffered for their witness, more physically. I do not say we were following the right approach in debating. Indeed I believe Yahuah quite deliberately took me away from it for the greater work for Zion he has planned, but I learned a lot from those years of aggressive evangelistic witness. One key lesson was the Servant of Yahuah must not strive. It is not our battle but Yahuah’s and until we understand that we’ll get persecuted when Yahuah is telling us to flee and we’ll flee when Yahuah is telling us to stand firm. Paul knew when his time was come we can see this in two Timothy but Paul also knew when he would live on we can see this in Philippians.
Let us return to that providential day on the 13th day of the tenth month in the year AM 5991. I arrived and the park and went to discussing individually with Muslims. A man who I had perceived to be a prophet from his preaching a few weeks before came up to me. He said “Are you going to be Yahuah’s evangelist?” I looked at him and said “Yes”. He then said “Yahuah says you are a pillar in his Church. He has anointed you to go to the Muslims but only when he calls you”. He then turned to my friend and said “If the oceans turn to flames do not fear” or words to this affect. He laid his hands on me and I fell to the ground in the midst of crowded Speakers corner. I have called this event my pre call commissioning. And found it very interesting that he should have asked the question specifically about evangelism on the day I woke up sensing the significance of evangelism. I felt like he was talking about something other than the heading up of a Kensington Temple evangelistic team and so it was to prove to be the case. The book of my days in London in KT would draw to a close and the book of other cities and nations would open up, all in Yahuah’s perfect timing and all because the nations said “It is Zion so no one cares for her”.
The Days of International Bible Institute of London
Over the next thirty days a call came for me to enter the Kensington Temple bible college called International Bible Institute of London (IBIOL). During this month I was very much in prayer as to what I should do next. I even forgot that I had to get a contract with an accountancy by December 1991 if I didn’t want to lose my previous exam credits towards becoming a Chartered accountant. As we prayed Yahuah began to speak. One night in the Wednesday prayer meeting a word of knowledge went out that there were 5 people in the meeting who should enter the IBIOL Bible College. My friend and I were engaged on a discussion of that subject at the exact moment the call went out. So we felt I was a supposed to go down to be prayed for. As I went down it seemed that there were 5 people down there already. However they kept calling out as if there was someone else to come down to the front. So I went. When I arrived to was clear that I was the sixth person not the fifth. They prayed for us although I was a little concerned about being the sixth person of a call for five.
A little while later in the young peoples’ meeting we were in small groups praying about what we were going to do next. Then a girl whose face I can still see to this day as she told me what she felt, was praying for me. She said she felt very strongly that I should go to Bible College. That I had a calling to go into the ministry and she felt I already had the giftings for the ministry, before I entered. This feeling she had also had an impression on me. I had been told many times over the years that I should be a minister. But I understood, those years ago that a minister had to be an example for the flock, especially for the young people. I loved to dance in discos and this would not be the best example for young people. Therefore I decided to become a teacher of Religious Education instead. This all took place on a Wednesday at the beginning of November 1991.
I went home and rang the Bible College in the next couple of days. I arranged to go and see someone about it the next Wednesday. On the intervening Sunday Colin Dye in the morning service said there were 27 people who were in that meeting of 800 who should be in the Bible College. He said there was one particular person for whom the call to be in the college was particularly strong. He said he knew it was messing everything up administratively but if the people were ready they could start straight away. This happened again when my friend and I were discussing about me going to the Bible College. As you can imagine we did not know how we would finance it. After the sermon a friend of mine from Africa came up to me. He said that when Colin Dye had said about one person being their who had a call to be in the college, he thought immediately about me.
It was amazing that I had already made an appointment to see the college but through this opening of the college doors by Colin Dye I was not only enabled to take the interview but with no money to start the college. Instead of going on Wednesday for a talk about the College I went on Monday and began the college. It was about the second Monday in November AM 5991. Twenty pounds sterling came to me in and envelope on that first day as if to say “Don’t worry about the finances but seek first the Kingdom of Elohim and all these things will be added unto you.”
The next 8 months were quite powerful days. We had powerful prayer meetings, powerful praise meeting, powerful prophecies and Yahuah indeed blessed that period. I graduated that year, in June 1992 with a distinction and wondering what to do next. I reasoned with myself. Clearly Yahuah has given me a teaching gift. So I need to sharpen my teaching skills. So I applied to teacher training colleges in London. Two courses I applied for were with Roehampton Institute. They were first and last on my list. I did not have a background in Theology, so they had to use their discretion in deciding whether I should be allowed to do the course. Three out of the courses turned down my application. The fifth school, Roehampton, invited me to interview. My friend was a qualified teacher and so briefed me on the National Curriculum. I was allowed to the interview because in England there was a shortage of Religious Education teachers. I amazed the guy with my knowledge (newly gained) of the National Curriculum and was accepted on the course.
Day of Awe 3: The Day of Emunah Building and Yahuah’s provision
October 11th Year of Mashiach 1992 - October 10th Year of Mashiach 1993
This year the decrees of Yahuah sent forth from Rosh Hashana were challenging but there was also great blessing. I qualified as an RE teacher and began applying for work in various places. I remember I went to one job interview where there was another son of Zion or Christian applying. I looked around at the four interviewees and I could see immediately it was between me and him. I asked him if Yahuah ha told him this was his job. He looked at me with silent confidence and gave no answer. I knew the job was his and was very happy for him when he got it. It did not belong to me I did not want it. I do not remember how I got accepted to my job in the John Bentley School but I do remember some of the events leading up to getting somewhere to live. My friend and I were considering buying a house. I went up to the town to look at some houses. One Christian couple were willing to give us our needed deposit or at least half of it in order to help us buy there house. This appeared to be an answer to prayer but a dream, which I can not recall, made me not so certain.
Sunday came and I went to a Church. Afterwards I wondered down to a local Church called as Evangelical Church. I was an Evangelical, being brought up Baptist and born again and Spirit filled from 16 years before. But still I wasn’t sure what had Evangelical Church was. All I knew is that my Roman Catholic, head of department, a good man as men go, told me they didn’t join in all the ecumenical things among the Churches. I wondered in to take a look. As I did the Church was finishing. The minister was leaving and asked about me and what I was doing. I told him I had just obtained a job teaching RE in the local secondary school, and was now looking for somewhere to live. He mentioned that the Church had a property. It used to be the manse but had been unused for 6 months.
Later on that day I met Norman the Church treasurer. He took me to see the property. It was a beautiful three bed roomed semi detached house, in Calne in Wiltshire. He told me that the whole Church had prayed at there prayer meeting the previous Thursday that Yahuah would send a tenant along. They had started decorating it and the decorating would take six weeks, the exact time period before I would move up to Calne for my job. Indeed when I told him we could only really afford three hundred pounds a month not the three hundred and fifty they were asking for, he said it would be alright because they felt Yahuah had sent me. The whole Church understood that my wondering into the Church Sunday, was an answer to the prayers they prayed on Thursday. This had a very interesting effect on our move to the town. The house was being rented out unfurnished, but because we had come in such an amazing way, all kinds of property poured into our house from the Evangelical Church members. We did not have to pay for any of it. This too was an answer to prayer. Then the news was spread around the town that the new RE teacher was a believer. So the Brethren Church got the message. So I arrived in the School and the young people from the Brethren Church came and invited me to their young peoples group.
In those days I was listening to the faith message of Kenneth Copeland, and Kenneth Hagin. They preached the gospel in reality and I learned more about the complete confidence we can have in Yahuah’s promises from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland and how to listen to the Holy Spirit from Kenneth Hagin.
I went to the Young peoples group bristling with faith. I had seen Yahuah open the gate to this small town, where I was almost the only black person, in a marvelous way. The young peoples group needed a new mini bus. The old one could not do the job. I explained to them how with faith and full confidence in Yahuah the bus would be provided. I noted that Yahuah would provide for our personal needs how much more for a young peoples group who were working for the Kingdom. These leaders had no selfish motives in asking Yahuah for a mini bus, it was for his work. We sat down in December and wrote our supplication or petition to Yahuah. We described the kind mini bus we needed. In the next two months a mini bus appeared on the road to work in a garage. It looked like it met the specification exactly. It would cost 5500 pound when the youth group had nothing. We prayed. They opened a bank account where members of the Church could place donations for the Bus. A few weeks later someone came and asked how much they had towards the mini bus. They said about half. He felt Yahuah said he should make up whatever was missing, with in two months, the bus was paid for, Cash, and bought. There were no loans and no delays and Yahuah got the glory.
Since this was the year of faith building I will share another provision story. My friend and I needed a car. We could not afford a car, this was clear from our budget. So we prayed direct to Yahuah for a car, applying all the faith principles. That is we confessed the possession of the car after we had prayed for it. we believed that we had received it when we prayed for it. We did a prayer of agreement as two people are counseled to do by the scripture. We refused doubt and believed. You mat wonder what happened in answer to our prayer? Well a couple from the Brethren Church had more then one car. They felt lead to loan us their car. This meant that for 6 months we drove a car. We did not have to pay insurance, for they paid the insurance. We did not have to pay for repairs. The battery of the car broke down. With in two hours the owner had come and replaced the battery. He did not charge us anything or accuse us of mistreating the battery. The only thing we had to pay for this car was the petrol. And that we did. This was most amazing for us and Yahuah’s gracious provision was quite astounding.
At the end of this year of provision Yahuah’s decrees were quite challenging. Back in 1991 when I was first connected with my friend, we had had a few problems. I prayed to Yahuah. What is going to happen to us? And he said, “You will know on the way to Jerusalem. Well after we joined we headed, for a ten day trip, to Israel. My first trip. On the bus from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem we never said a word to each other. We had an argument as we entered the bus and we never said a thing all the way. As you can imagine this was a bit ominous.
Now at the end of the year of provision, we disagreed and went our own ways. We never returned to each other and the decree even contained a provision that we would not speak or see for many years. My friend found another friend and joined with him. There was no going back.
Doncaster and the death of a CallingI was seeking to move to another city for my next job. I set about the task of gaining a new teaching job with vigour. Every weekend I would get the Times Educational supplement and I would through the jobs for RE teachers. I prepared a letter of application and sent each weekend a bunch off letters off for jobs. During this time at one point I received two job interviews on the same day. One was in Poole down on the south coast and the other was in Doncaster, an industrial city up in south Yorkshire. I was very attracted by the Poole location, by the sea with a strong RE department with five teachers. So I decided I would seek to change the date of the Doncaster interview and attend both interviews.
I rang Doncaster, Adwick School on a Friday afternoon in, I believe, July. I asked if I could attend the interview on another day. They said yes, but as the call was finishing they asked why would like to change it. I said because I have another interview on that day. They then said, they would like me to attend the interview but tit would have to be on the day set. I was disappointed but decided to confirm the Poole interview and then cancel the Doncaster one. I then phoned to Poole as 3:30 PM on that Friday. The school closed early on Fridays and so I could not get them. The call had to wait until Monday.
In the meanwhile on the weekend I received a dream, pushing me away from the south and towards the south. So I turned everything around in my plan. Because the words of Elohim says Yahuah speaks to ordinary men in dreams to protect them and turn the from the wrong path. This was in the speech of Elihu in Job 33. It also says Yahuah speaking in dreams and visions is a characteristic of the days of the New Covenant Church in Acts 2. So I listened to my dream and prioritized my interviews for my living appropriately.
I attended the interview in the Adwick School and everything for the moment I left the house ran so smoothly, I was amazed. And I succeeded in obtaining employment.
Yahuah : You shall call to me and I will answer you
That summer saw some incredible answers to prayer, which I will relate to you briefly. For it is good for us to remember and consider the ways of Yahuah. Every answered prayer is another affirmation that we serve a faithful Elohim whose name is Yahuah, whom was the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We serve an Elohim, who keeps his promises and when he says “Seek first the Kingdom of Eloah and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto” he means it. When he says “Offer unto Elohim thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto Elyon. And call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me” he meant it. Yahuah keeps his word and his word never falls to the ground without accomplishing that for which he sent it forth. In this summer period there was also the fulfillment of Yahuah’s word You shall hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk ye in it.”
During the latter days of my stay in Calne, due to the troubles with my friend and her friends and their talk which I call gossip, I with drew from main line church attendance. I found a little Charismatic Church run by the Whitehouses and began to attend there. Gossip has this power to shut people off from fellowship with one another. I was also applying the faith message to my situation. When I obtained my job I had the problem of moving all my stuff from Calne in Wiltshire to my newly bought house in West Avenue, Doncaster. The issue was further complicated because I wanted to attend the Morris Cerullo School of Ministry in his Mission to London. This had the theme “There is a power that makes the ruler s of this world tremble” or something of the sort. I also wanted to attend the Eagle camp in Calne in Wiltshire which was organized by the Pastors of the little Church I attended. I also wanted to attend the Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) believers convention in Birmingham. My main problems, as you can imagine was a lack of money. So I set to pray, as we ought always to do when we lack. It is better to pray than to worry. It is better to pray that to sweat. So I prayed. The main costs would be the transportation of my house effects from Calne to Doncaster. A place where I could store them for one week whilst I was in the Eagle Camp. And the accommodation costs or a place to stay in Birmingham for the KCM convention. The convention was free but the cost of staying their I did not have. Now I will relate how Yahuah my Elohim resolved all these situations in answer to prayer.
The first even was the Mission to London with Morris Cerullo. I attended and had a very blessed time. During the convention in one event I was sitting there minding my own business. I was sat behind, who I now know to be a Malaysian girl. She suddenly turned around and introduced herself to me. It turned out she was living in Birmingham and was visiting London for the week of Mission to London. I told her about my need for accommodation in Birmingham and house said well her place was free while she was away. In the end however she introduced me to a believing guy called Steve. He opened his place up to me in Birmingham and I stayed with him while his friend was away. Now imagine this Melissa knew nothing of my prayer. Nor was she spoken to by Yahuah in any conscious manner and yet she turned around suddenly and began to speak to me. I have met a few Malaysians ladies in my time. From my experience they would be the last people to turn around at convention and talk to a black guy. Well I went to stay with Steve and he was in a period of decision making. He was deciding whether he should continue a career in accountancy in a company he had obtained employment from or not. He no longer felt it had much purpose and had had some prophetic words pointing in a different direction. Well with
My experience of accountancy training and the leading of Yahuah I could most definitely advise him, not to go ahead if he didn’t see the point. Accountancy is for the like of Steve and I not only boring but complicated. He took my advice and cancelled his contract early. So Yahuah had a plan in placing me in Birmingham through Melissa the Malaysian with Steve the Brit. Problem one solved with an amazing answer to prayer.
Problem two was about the storage of my luggage. This was a twofold expense. One to move it and two to store it. I had spoken with someone in the little Charismatic Calne Church. And she had said she would see if her friend could help me. She was also going to the camp. While I was away from Calne, in London, she had rang me at home and left me a message. Or someone had rang me and left me her number. On the day before the last of the Mission to London, I woke up with a recurring phrase in my spirit. “Go to Calne, Go to Calne, Go to Calne”. It was pretty clear what I had to do. I asked the Spirit if I could go that evening and attend the Mission to London and leave in the evening after the meetings. The Spirit said “Yes”. So I went to my last day of the conference, I left on a bus that evening to Calne. When I got to Calne a message had been left for me to ring this lady. I rang her. If I had not rang her that day she would have left the house and not been back for more than a week. She was leaving the next morning. As it was, because the Spirit sent be back early from Mission to London, her friend was willing and able to use his van to help me move my stuff. I could store my stuff for the intervening week in her garage. Her friend and I made about four journeys with his van and moved all my stuff from the house. This was indeed a miracle of great proportions for I did not have the money for the move or the storage. I then went with a friend of hers to the Eagle Camp and spent a week in the presence of Yahuah, Hallelu Yah.
The following week I went to too the KCM convention and spent another week in the presence of the saints, both for and against KCM and in the presence of Yahuah.
Finally the summer finished and I returned to Calne, hired a truck and had my property transferred to 16 West Avenue in, Doncaster. A beautiful semi detached house with three bedrooms for only twenty five thousand pounds. Admittedly it was an open log fire and so in winter due to my ignorance I almost froze to deaf. With the separation from my friend, I was actually being sent into exile. But Yahuah, in his mercy when he sends us into exile, intends for us to be changed, to be humbled. I had no more intentions of great ministry. I maintained my connection with prayer but less with the Church and I intended to go the way of the world when it came to relationships. I concluded, I had failed in the Christian path but I could not turn away from Yahuah for he was too good and too real. So I went into exile like Israel, but inn some sense with a promise from, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. I had felt a call to the Muslim world as you have seen but all these plans died with the failure of the friendship and the move to Doncaster.
Day of Awe 4: Because it is Zion
11th October 1994 – 10th October 1995
“Now Yahuah had said to Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great
And thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee; and curse him that curseth thee
And in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed” Gen 12:1-3
I arrived in Doncaster alone and with no fanfare. I never saw it like this before but place could be described as the first major exile in these ten days of awe. With the separation from my friend there were many unanswered questions. For me it was the end of my calling and the end of my ministry. I was warned of this by Alistair in KT when my friend and I were having troubles. I accepted this judgement. In Doncaster there was no amazing connection with a Church on the way in. There was me and the city and their strange accent which shocked as I had first got off the bus to go to the interview. These people looked the same as those in London but wow were there accents new to my ears. It was like entering another land.
I discovered soon that I was neighbour to a family whose father was in prison. Indeed it was a criminal world I had entered. Or rather it was the “world” but I had never seen it so close up before. And as I moved among the new kinds of people, who were mainly unbelievers I learnt more the importance of salvation and why it is needed.
In my mind I was no longer a preacher but a teacher of Religious this was it. I had little to do with the Churches but the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Elohim did not abandon me. I started to attend the bars and the clubs three or four days a week. And worked in my school the rest of the week. I was looking for love and resolved that since in my theology it would be very difficult to join with a believer, I would find a positive unbeliever. After all I had seen what it was live with a negative believing friend and I didn’t want to repeat that for anything. So I reasoned a positive unbelieving friend was much better than a negative believing friend. You do not know how big a change this was in my thinking. It was a revolution. So I was no longer a preacher but a schoolteacher. I was less linked to believers although I did meet a few saints on an individual bases and we would pray for one another and ring each other when making decisions. Prayer never left me and nor did faith it was just applied in a different way. Yahuah never abandoned me, I did not lose hope or joy, but I prayed before heading to the Disco. I prayed about my school activities. I remember once walking around the school praying in the Spirit. Some students came up to me and said “ Are you talking to yourself sir?” I said “No, I’m talking to Yahuah”.
There was another time when I had to cover a History lesson. The teacher had left no work and it was a rowdy class, one of the more difficult to deal with. So I got the History book and went to the middle ages. I started talking about the way the people treated one another in the middle ages. The students were shocked. As usual some how the students came around to asking me about Elohim. I explained that Elohim speaks to us in dreams. And explained just how real he was. This rowdy class was so silent as I related some dream experiences that when a colleague of mine came in he was amazed. He said to me “It was so quiet you could here a pin drop”. It was almost as though a Holy Awe had entered the room. Yahuah was with me.
On the other hand I was attending the bars regularly.
I remember in one club a sixth form student came over to me. Bear in mind these guys are not old enough to be in the clubs. He came over and he said “Yeah sir this is how it should be. Teachers and students together” On another night a female student came over to me in the same disco she was complete drunk, but she managed to get the following out “ Your really cool sir, you’re so cool its unreal” I still laugh at these encounter many years later. She was hardly able to stand and I can just see her trying to get the words out.
However it was like a fish out of water that I attended, these clubs. I stood out like a soar thumb not only because I was black, but somehow Yahuah made sure these people could see faith on me. I like almost all the other young people and older people in these places were looking for fellowship and love. I noticed that the bar was functioning as a place of fellowship for the unbeliever, like the Church should for the believer. Alcohol set them free to share there hearts but it also seemed to have the power to transform people. I was never drunk and so I could observe how much people changed in an hour because of alcohol.
One bar I went to in those days was the White Bear. In that bar I saw this really beautiful girl whom I decided I wanted to get to know. A few days later I saw her in a disco. I went over and spoke to her. We danced together and then began to speak. We shared something about our lives. But I didn’t share my faith. But to my amazement she said to me “You’re a preacher aren’t you?” I said “No a teacher.” She said without any doubt, in fact with more faith than me “a preacher” and I said “No a teacher” and that conversation was left like that with her not believing. As you can imagine this statement shocked me. She was certain and would not be convinced otherwise. Then there was the time in a disco when I was dancing with a girl and out of no where, because we were not speaking she said “You believe the Bible don’t you?” I started getting paranoid, thinking someone was watching me. I’ll relate one more event of this kind. I met a girl in a disco and she was sad. We got talking and as she cried I offered to pray for her. As soon as I did this she said “ I knew you were different the moment I saw you” She tried to describe why she thought I looked different from every one else. She had once made a commitment to Mashiach and was now in a back slidden state. Who knows perhaps our prayer began to lead her back to Mashiach her savior.
Even if I am outside the Church community of an area. I can not stop the flow of prayer and faith in my life. I prayed about everything and regularly. I sought fellowship and was really quite alone in Doncaster.
The girl Lorraine. Whom I met earlier in the disco became a part of my story in Doncaster. I met her in February 1995, just before my birthday. We had a wonderful talk that evening and I thought she was naturally beautiful. I had seen her around the White Bear pub especially on Karaoke nights.
The night I met her my spirit was disturbed. I slept and I had a dream the next morning warning me that with her there would be trouble ahead. The next time I spotted her in town I avoided her. I had rung the number she had given me and found it false. I had also had the dream warning me against a relationship with her.
A little while later in the White Bear Pub she came in and came over to me and said “You’ve been avoiding me, why?” I told her it was because of the false number she’d give me and a dream I had had”. She ignored the dream and told me she gave a false number because she had a fear of men because of things in her past. She was so friendly that we got reaquainted.
She gave me her real number. A few days later my birthday was coming up. However I was having central heating out into my house, and it was not really convenient to stay there. I virtually knew no one to spend my birthday with. She welcomed to visit her friend house where she would be that night, he usually baby sat for her. We talked that night and I took some photos. We got on so well that I began to doubt my dream and fall in love with Lorraine. Loneliness is a very powerful force and only love and fellowship and breaks its power. If Zion does not take care of her sons and daughters they will find fellowship in the world and walk the way of the world. We need to understand in this in Ephraim- Israel.
The Trip To Blackpool 12th to 16th February 1995
I was brought up Christian. I did not believe in sex before joining. However through the break down of my relationship with my friend my theology was going through transition. At this time my understanding was that love was the most important ingredient and not written and verbal contract followed by years of anger and bitterness. So I had gone through a revolution. I still prayed and believed, but I looked at the world with different eyes than before. The pub and the disco became places of fellowship and places to fill the empty hours, but because we fall short of Elohim plan, and we all do, it does not mean he abandons us, for he has promised never to do that. As I will relate in this episode.
I had a good friend from Japan called Chiemi. She was living up in Newcastle at this time and we were in contact by letter. We agreed that we would take a trip to Blackpool together. I had never been to Blackpool in my life. But it had a big reputation as a beach resort with everything. This reputation stretched all the way down to London, so I was excited. The day before the trip Chiemi cancelled and said she couldn’t go. I went out dancing that night and go home after 2 AM. I wondered if I should go to Blackpool or not. I decided that if I woke up on time I would go to Blackpool.
The next morning I woke at 8 am. I awoke suddenly with my eyes popping open and I being freshly awake. I questioned my spirit and decided it was right to go to Blackpool, the bus would leave at 8:35 or something like this and it would take about 10 minutes to get to the bus station in a taxi. So I quickly rang the Taxi firm and asked if they could get me to the bus station in the time available. Their answer was affirmative, so the mission was on. I dressed quickly and left.
The Arrival to Blackpool
I arrived in Blackpool a few hours later. I got out of the coach and started walking whilst praying in the Spirit. Even though I was not living a Christian life the Holy Spirit never left me. The fact that some Charismatic Christians walk the way of the world make other Christians doubt the veracity of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. But all I can say is the Corinthian Church also was full of Spirit filled Christians and yet they had members who were sleeping with temple prostitutes and with their father’ wives. Baptism in the Holy Spirit does not take away mans choices but empowers him, if he will walk by the Spirit to be a blessing which is the whole purpose of the children of Abraham, the children of faith. They are to be a blessing to all the families of the earth. So I wondered the streets of Blackpool and I prayed a prayer. “Heavenly Father please lead me to the right church”. I knew I was on a mission but I did not know what the mission was for. After I prayed the prayer with my understanding I did two things. I walked around praying with my spirit and I asked people if they could tell me where the “lively church” was. I would get in a bus and say “please could you tell me where the lively church is”. I received some instruction and followed then. Then I came across a lady walking a dog. She gave me specific instruction to a warehouse building in the backside of wherever and I entered. The Church was called Christ for Britain and the worship and ministry was powerful although I did feel a little strange. This strangeness was continued afterwards in attempted to talk to the Pastor a certain Mr Potter who had a kind of glazed look in his eye. His wife came over and spoke with me and on hearing I was a teacher introduced me to a certain John Butlin, a teacher and a fire horse of an evangelist. As I got to know John Butlin I realised he evangelised everything that moved. He was a magnet, people were drawn to him all the time. He invited me to his apartment for lunch. We spent the whole day praying in the spirit and speaking about having a vision and a dream. I had explained my dreams to John, because I had developed them at the end of the previous month and based them all on the infinity of our Elohim. John and his friends felt that I had been sent to Blackpool by Yahuah and invited me to stay over.
Excursion in to dreams and words of the Spirit
The practice of writing a letter to Yahuah I developed in 1987, when I was finishing my stay in Sweden. Then I had written 5 dreams down in a letter to Yahuah and as a testimony to his faithfulness in answering our prayers. When I noticed by 1992 or so that each of those dreams in general terms had been fulfilled I was astounded. I then wrote 10 more dreams but removed limitations.
The Dream and Prayers I wrote in 1995: I recommend this practice t anyone. For those dreams were fulfilled with out me consciously chasing them. I noticed they were complete only when I came across the original letter many years later.
The Dreams and Prayers for Zion’s sake:
My Future
Dear Yahuah
I thank you that you have given us the capacity to determine out future. HalleluYah!
I thank you that our future is in our heart. That what we believe and speak comes to pass.
I praise and thank you for fulfilling the dreams of my last letter to you.
Thank you very much for bringing those to pass. I now lift up to you the dreams and goals of the future.
I desire that thousands of poor people will be fed from the millions of pounds I receive. I pray that according to the dreams given me, I will through planning and giving change the spiritual and physical destiny of many from hell to heaven.
I pray and desire that millions of Muslims will come to know Yeshua as Yahuah and Saviour through a ministry I’m involved in. That the power of the gospel will be manifest greatly in their situation.
When I was praying over the dreams , I was planning to write the confession that thousands of Muslims would come to know Yeshua as Yahuah and saviour through a ministry I was involved with. But as I was about to speak thousands my tongue turned and millions came out. I understood it to be at the decreeing of Yahuah in the Spirit. And so it will be millions because this work is bigger than me or you, it is Yahuah’s work.
I pray that my teaching … in school would be very successful and that my teaching would improve every month. I pray that I would be a positive spiritual influence on the lives of many of the pupils, that they will be brought far closer to an experience of Elohim through my presence in the school.
I desire that my future and new wife will be beautiful and that we will have a beautiful positive relationship, which will bring a lot of good to a lot of people. I pray we will have a wonderful family and that their future will be blessed.
I pray that my businesses will be phenomenally successful and that very soon I will be financially free.
I pray that I will get an opportunity to travel all over the world and especially …men called by you to serve you and mankind for the best.
I pray that I will be able to help hundreds of people to reach their dreams and that they will be more compassionate as a result.
I pray that I will be able to fuel the growth of the Church in China. That I will through giving and use of my assets be a great blessing in China.
I pray that I will continue free and healthy all the days of my life. That I will never be put to shame but will be exceedingly prosperous in everything I do.
Blessing will abound to me in every way. I will continue to tithe and see the heavens opened and all the blessing of heaven poured out me. May the glory of Yahuah shine upon me and may my family benefit from the outpoured blessings.
The greatness of my ways
will be by established in your situation.
For I have a mind to bless you, protect you
and deliver you from all the work of the enemy.
My Elohim, he will move upon you
and grant you all the things you have asked of him.
Be strong and bold and do not hold back.
Be enthusiastic for there is much to be established through you.
Your time is short in human terms
but many things will be will be achieved in the forty years of your life to come.
To day is the day of your salvation.
I will preserve you and guide you and protect you,
Guide you and deliver you.
There shall no weapon formed against you prosper.
For I have determined to bless you
As I have said so more than once.
Dear Yah,
I write this down as a testimony to me
That I will see your faithfulness to your word
In the coming future.
You are my strength and my song,
My deliverance and hope,
Praise your holy name
Thank you Yahuah
In Yeshua’s name Amen.
During that period from the 23rd January 1995 to the 5th February 1995 many prophetic words came to me in my little house in Doncaster. It was as I approached my 30th solar birthday. Some of these words were as follows
(19) Words of the Spirit in the heart and mouth (1995 5th February)
(19.1)In the silence I come to you
For here there is time for refreshment
Here there is time to know Yahuah
(19.2)
Sit before Yahuah and know his love,
established on a foundation
of righteousness based on faith
(19.3)
In the silence I come to you
Into the secret place of your heart
To show you the way of salvation
The way of deliverance
(19.4)
You have found favour with Elohim
My blessings are upon you
You will see what you seek come clear
(19.5)
I will be with you in all that you do
I will do through you
Works that will last forever
I will show you the glory of my name
“Ask of me
And I will give you the nations
As your inheritance
The ends of the earth as your
Possession, Ask of me!”
Ps 2
Reflection: The key to the successful ruling of the Charismatic Church is to ask Yahuah, not to study all religions and their ways. We need to learn how to ask, in our generation as Paul or Charles Finney did, in theirs.
(21.1)
Elohim is with you
Be strong in him
(21.2)
This is my angel
He speaks to you the words
I have commanded him.
You are my son,
You have cried to me, trust me.
I have called
heaven and earth to witness
I will establish your ways in righteousness
They shall be established before me
And you will be light in the world
You will glorify my name.
You will see the things you have promised come to pass.
There is no light you can not conceive of, for I am you light
You must trust me.
(21.1)
Elohim is here,
your deliverance is final
I, Yahuah, do all things for good
That my ways may be established
in the earth.
My light is upon you,
You must trust me
There is light in the way I walk.
(21.2)
Elohim is good
Therefore worship before him
In his light there is life
He is the salvation of all the earth.
(21.3)
Tremble before Yahuah
For he is sovereign over all creation
His light is above all things
There is nothing comparable to him
He is the light of the world
There is no salvation with out him.
(21.4)
Though I have seen thy plight,
my light is upon you.
I will move mountains on you behalf
That you may see
the glory of Yahuah, established. Selah
(21.5)
There is a light which I have given you
That light is
the bright light of the world
He is in you to show you how to walk
Trust Elohim and all things will be well.
(21.6)
Yahuah is Elohim
Trust him and he will not fail you
He is the light of the world
And his ways shall be established
On the earth
(Yes Yes they shall be established!)
For I have provided for them in my word. You have seen this my son
You have seen it by my grace.
You must teach it
I will make it clear to you.
I will open your eyes to understanding
I will make it clear to you.
You have seen it and I have shown it to you.
It is light my son, it is clear light.
Thank you Yah, Thank you Yah, Yeshua I love you.
Back at Johns house Sunday 12th February 1995.
So that Sunday afternoon in John’s house we prayed a lot at the top of our voices and with great kavanagh and had discussions about dreams and visions. It is only coming to me now how it was that I had this sudden burst of the Spirit speaking, first in October 1990, as you can see from the words written the beginning of each day of this book, and then in February 1995. During my stay in John’s house he and his friends also prophesied over me and advised me. On that Sunday afternoon they were seeking to hear what Yahuah was saying to me. This is one way the Charismatic Church around toe world build itself up in love and is set apart from all religions. Each person is able to prophecy for it is a New Covenant community. We might call this spiritual bodybuilding.
Michael, a friend of John’s, had just been to Egypt on outreach. He felt Yahuah was saying “You need a new experience with me” This is a new feeling, a new attitude, a new experience. You must STOP STRUGGLING and see me at work for you. When you have had this experience with me, you will then be equipped to move on to the real work I have for you”. Another word coming on that day was as follows “There is(are) different seasons in your life. He has opened his cloak up and said come. He is going to speak hidden things into your heart and he needs the time with you.”
As you can imagine it was all very exciting. Another said “Listen to me , Yahuah, is with you. If you seek him he will be found by you, If you forsake him he will forsake you” With this last word I’m not so sure how it stands theologically in the New Covenant for we know Yahuah says he will never leave us nor forsake us.
“Don’t give up your work will be rewarded. All Judah took an oath and Elohim was found by them and Yahuah gave them rest on every side. Hebrews 11:6 says “He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him”. Stand aside and allow Yahuah to come upon you in his cloak. “What seems impossible with man, by faith, is possible for Elohim.” Be still. Be a Mary and not a Martha. Sit at his feet.
That night we went to a Church service together. I was now staying over even though I had only brought set of clothes. My plans were being reorganised by the kindness of the saints and the Holy Spirit’s instruction. We went to the service and the preacher said he needed to say something before his sermon. He said “Its good to have a dream and its good to have a vision, but you must put it into practice” It was a very timely word considering our afternoon discussions. Again in the when the preacher called people up to be prayed for we went up. Every one was praying in the spirit very vigorously and with great kavanah. Indeed if you looked at our day I think even the Chasidim would have been impressed with the devekut, or cleaving to Yahuah we expressed in that week.
Two days later: Tuesday 14th February 1995
We came to third day and were praying again. The saints had said because they felt I was sent by Yahuah, they would like to help me financially with my return to Doncaster. They also invited me to say another day. On this third day a number of words came also. Michael said “I see in you one who could bring, thousands into the Kingdom”. Michael and his wife were talking about their recent trip to Egypt. Since Egypt was a majority Muslim nation this found soil for very fruitful discussions in my life at that time. They described the mind barrage they had experienced with their trip to Egypt and how they really had to be very careful when over there. They had certainly been challenged. In our discussions and prayer John, my host, had a word for me
“You will build a high building . So don’t be impatient or alarmed at the depth of the foundation. Don’t be alarmed. The foundation will, be a good and important foundation. It will be a difficult foundation but some will build upon it a lasting work. Be obedient in your call. Be obedient in your call. Be obedient in your call. He who is obedient is like the man who built his house on the rock. You Edi like Solomon who was given instructions to build a temple for Yahuah, so you Edi, will build a temple for Yahuah. Yahuah says “The higher the building the deeper the foundation.
The next day 15th February 1995, Gary who was a back slidden intercessor, joined the banquet. He felt he had a word for me.
“(1) Do not fear what you are speaking when evangelising, Yahuah will give you words.
(2) Be bold in stepping forward
(3) Don’t be frightened of what people think of you, in what you say. Don’t worry if they ridicule you.
One real point of evangelism is to train others. A real part is to train others how to witness. You can’t have teaching without evangelism and you can’t have evangelism without teaching. Business sense is to multiply talents through teaching.”
This was a very joyful day for John and I had driven to one of the Lakes in the Lancaster. This whole region was beautiful and dotted with lakes. We headed over to Lake Windermere. It was a most restful sight with a still lake set in the midst of beautiful green hills. We prayed and agreed that Yahuah would one soul for the Kingdom that day. We agreed according to the word of Yeshua “Where two of you agree anything in my name, my father will do it”. So we agreed for someone to be saved. As we walked around the Lake we were looking for someone who was going to be the soul saved for that day. We spotted on person and walked a little way in their direction, but it did not seemed to be the right person. We decided to surrender, it was four o clock and time for us to return. We turned around and began heading back to the car. I looked into a window of a clothing shop and without warning John just walked in. he followed me in. In there was a young lady overseeing the shop. We struck up conversation and we shared the gospel with her. She responded positively and we prayed with her to receive Yeshua as her Saviour and she did. We left the shop rejoicing and sure that Yahuah was faithful to his word. If you look for sheep, we discovered, you would find them.
The next day could be described as the most eventful day of the trip, although all day were eventful. In this day we saw the hand of Yahuah overruling through circumstances. We had an early morning prayer meeting. Michael gave a word of counsel “ Elohim wants you to know that he loves you. He doesn’t want you to strive and struggle. But to be still and know that he loves you. He wants you to get involved with small born again Christian groups in Doncaster. He wants you to know born again Christians love. There is a river. Your desires are Elohim's desires. He wants to do what you want to do.”
Finally the day had come and I was released to leave. It was time. John and I hugged after the morning, prayer and said good bye. Michael and his wife drove me back to Johns house to pick up my bags. They were then going to drive me to the coach station. I got out the car and started looking for my keys. I did not have them with me. This was about the fourth time I had tried to leave. But it was another failure. The keys were not there. No one was in the house until the afternoon or evening. Michael then drove me to John’s college for he was a biology teacher and evangelist.
John was running with his bags to get to class. We shouted about forgetting the keys. He shouted back that he had forgotten his keys and was late. I could not leave Blackpool today and we agreed that I would stay with John in the college.
At this time in my diary from those days I have recorded “16/2 95, 9am. Planned to leave Blackpool. I forgot my key. John forgot his key. I can’t leave until we can get into the house, which could be tonight. I have a strong belief that Elohim wanted me to come to this college.
The Reformation
As I sat in John’s classroom it dawned on me that I was in the middle of a dream which was written out back in my house in Doncaster. In that dream I went to visit a college of a guy I was staying with. The dream had bee n vivid and so was written up and literally I had thought about it the last two weeks. Here I was in a college, with a guy I was staying with. It was the day John had his Christian union in the college so we got to witness to some students and the lab technician. John was lecturing about the human reproductive system. He then showed the students a Christian video on sexually transmitted diseases. It was this which hit me most. Why? Well I have already described to you the fact that I was in the disco’s thinking, if you love one another what’s the problem with being together. My whole theology was going through transition and this video challenged my new thinking. I realised after that video that the old ways were better and in one event my mind was restored to the need for marriage before sex.
The events of that day had another impression on me. Why did Yahuah give me such a clear dream? Why did he overrule all my plans to leave the city until I visited this Blackpool and Fylde College? I was only there that day because I had missed a lift the day before. I was only in the college because we had both forgotten our keys. Gary had earlier suggested that I move to Blackpool. I now began to think maybe Yahuah was saying the same. John also had a zeal for evangelism and the Muslim world was on his agenda.
Yes the decrees of Yahuah sent out in the previous Rosh Hashana were indeed numerous and amazing and we were only in February.
How I got the name Edi Nachman
I returned to my house in Doncaster and recorded the following
“In half term Elohim guided me incredibly , all the way over to Blackpool and into a college there which I believe I had a dream about a couple of weeks before. The promise of Elohim to me “I will guide you , I will deliver you” became prominent in my thinking. During this morning Friday 17th February 1995 , I received a picture. I was with two or three friends and we went to the cash machine. I put a number in twice accidentally. One person said “You’ll get fined for doing that Edi Nachman”. Then I tried to cancel it, I told my friend to move out of the way so I could get close up and see the keyboard to cancel the mistake. As I leant forward and tried to look, I heard someone sing CANCEL and I woke up. I concluded that I wasn’t supposed to use the cash card. I asked Yah how he would finance me if I did not. Because I was uncertain I decided on a plan of action. I would use the card once more to get fifty pounds out. And then after that I would try not to use it any more. So that day I got fifty pounds out. Later that night Yahuah showed me how he could provide for me without the bank card.
A couple came to visit my neighbour's house and asked if she knew anybody who wanted to sell vases. She came rushing around and took my vases. I had two beautiful vases I had bought at an auction. One was Indian and the other was Chinese. I wanted 80 pounds cash for the two vases. I went down to 55 pounds, but they appeared unwilling to go above fifty pounds. So it was exactly the amount I had taken out in the morning. But Yahuah did not stop there. The man then bought a radiator off of me for 10 pounds, and asked me how much I would sell my beautiful fire place for. I said 100 pounds, he said “yes”. I then doubted and he offered 150 pounds and although I had 200 pounds in my mind I accepted 150 pounds. And thought if it should be two hundred pounds may Yahuah bring it to pass. So Yahuah showed he would provide for me if I stopped using the bank cards as the whole earth will have to in the future anyway.
The Faith Teachings
In those days I was being taught by some of the greatest spiritual teachers in the Church in our day. I was receiving lessons from Kenneth Copeland and his wife Gloria. From Jesse Duplantis, and Norvel Hayes. I was also a relating to Amway an organisation build on multi level market for people who wanted to be financially independent. They were building who would live with out debt. They would pay for their houses with cash. They were people with a dream I sought this freedom. I hated debt and wanted complete financial independence. A lot of their teaching dove tailed with the Copeland’s and other faith teaching. They were also very influenced by biblical teaching and many of their leaders were Christians as was the founder of the organisation. We had a conference coming up for Amway and as usual I had no money to go. So I went to prayer. Yahuah provided me with anew contact who was an ex Muslim. Through this lady Yahuah provided the finances for the trip to Bournemouth and praise be to Yahuah I was able to attend the business conference. The Amway organisation invited a Kensington Temple worship team to organise an open Sunday service. It was indeed a powerful service.
During the rest of the year to October 1995, I visited Egypt with the aid of Yahuah and made some contacts in Egypt.
While I was in Egypt I couldn’t resist but to go to Jerusalem for a visit. It was my second visit to Israel. I was in Israel then for Easter 1995 but only for a couple of days. I returned to Egypt and filled out a CV to possibly work in Al Ahram Newspaper. However I filled the CV and tried to get over their offices by early evening. Because of the traffic I arrived too late. They were interested but I had to come back the next morning. I couldn’t not delay my flight so what looked like a fruitful activity was cut off by the timing and circumstances. Perhaps it will taken up again some time in the future.
Come July I left the school Doncaster. I told my students I was going to become a millionaire. They asked “How are you going to do that, Sir”. I asked “How did I become a teacher?” they said “You trained” I said I will train.
The next few months I spent trying to start up some businesses which did not end successfully. I bought a car, although I could not drive, I intended to use it as a taxi. I bought many expensive books on become wealthy, all of which disappeared. I attended talks and considered buying houses cheap and selling them. All failed.
I decided to seek to learn to drive on an intensive driving course. I looked up in the newspapers the phone number for such companies. As I was booking for a course I realised it was taking place in Blackpool. So Yahuah brought me back to Blackpool in a very natural way. I went there for my course and met John and friends whilst I was there. The love Yahuah is shown to us in this. I was really messed up at that time. I had been through many things in Doncaster and you could not describe them as a successful. And yet in his love Yahuah was still helping me, supporting me and fulfilling the words in spoke to me in January and February. We need to understand that Yahuah is the most loving being that ever existed. He see us at the end as well as the beginning and once he calls us according to his purpose, his eternal purpose he never lets us go.
Day of Awe 5: Because it is Zion
11th October Year of Mashiach 1995 – 10th October 1996
It was Friday the 13th of October 1995. I finally decided that I would move from Doncaster to Blackpool. I guess it was the end of the week with the intensive driving course. I failed my test because I was dangerous I went around the roundabout to fast and I could do my three point turn. What a pain that was the second driving test failure in thirteen years. When will I learn to drive?
The weekend turned from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday. I attended John Church again like I did back in February but now they were meeting in a different building and under a different South African Pastor and I think they had changed their names. Things change fast in the kingdom in Blackpool but the love of Yeshua stays the same. I was not in a particularly holy state at the time but I was praying about what Yahuah wanted me to do next.
I went to the service and with kavanagh I worshipped Yahuah. Before the service Yahuah had given me the beautiful scripture from Isaiah 64
“For since the beginning of the world
men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
neither hath the eye seen O Elohim, beside thee.
What he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
those that remember thee in thy ways”
I had compared this scripture with Paul paraphrase in 1 Corinthians 2
“but as it is written
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered the heart of men
the things which Elohim has
prepared for them that love him”
I concluded from comparing the two passages spiritual scripture, with spiritual scripture or spirit with spirit, as Paul tells us to do, that those who wait for Yahuah, being those who rejoice and work righteousness are those who love Yahuah. If we rejoice and seek to do righteousness, pray, fast or share, and give, we are the lovers of Yahuah. And we by his Spirit can understand what he has prepared for us for we are his lovers.
After Yahuah gave me encouragement about my house situation, I went into the service. I was determined to moved to Blackpool and Yahuah would deal with the fact that I owned a house.
I sat at the back of the service for I want to feel free to prostate or to bow before Yahuah. I hat to have people watching me when I bow and worship, so I tend to sit at the back, I feel much freer there. I have see that there is something specially in physically prostrating before Yahuah. Abraham used to do it. And men did it to Yeshua when he was on earth. The early Church used to do it. When we used to sing the songs about bowing down before Yahuah I always felt uncomfortable when we didn’t bow. But I also felt uncomfortable bowing because nobody else was. I really believe it should be the other way round. We should be in the habit of bowing not before the false gods but before the true Elohim, Yahuah. I bow now every morning and speaking the confession of Israel after the ministry of Eliyahwa “Yahuah hu ha Elohim” and then I bow again and confess “Yah Yeshua” or Lord Jesus. But this is getting ahead of my self.
In that Church on that morning I praised and thanked and remembered Yahuah was did the whole Church. I was at the back of the little and on my knees. Suddenly I felt so satisfied , I was in ecstasy and I had taken no drug. It was the presence of the love of Yahuah. I said to myself ‘Why am I so satisfied?” And the Holy Spirit replied “I’m about to speak to you”. My ears opened waiting for the Spirit to speak. What was he going to say? I have many things wrong in my life, I’m going through a permanent separation with my friend and my life is not a good life by any means. Is Yahuah going to judge me and rebuke me as I deserve? I waited.
Just then the minister moved to the front and took over the service. He prayed a prayer and read the following words
“ Now Yahuah had said to Abraham, Get thee out of thy country, from thy kindred and from thy father’s, unto a land that I will show thee;
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee,
And make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing
And I will bless them that bless thee
And curseth him that curseth thee;
And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” Gen 12:1-3
I thought to myself : why would Yahuah say that to me. I had just decided to move to Blackpool and although I felt this word confirmed my move deep down I felt Yahuah was talking about something else. I noticed later that this event took place four years almost to the day from when the prophet had laid his hand on me in speakers corner on October 15th 1991. That also was a Sunday.
I left on the same evening or the following evening back to Doncaster with the intention of moving directly to Blackpool.
However on the Tuesday 17th of October 1995 I went to prayer meeting. All these events took place with lots of praying in tongues and praying in English. The prayer meeting was in a certain Shirley’s house in Goldthorpe Road. She was an ex Roman Catholic and was a spirit filled love of Yahuah. She sought his will in every area of her life. During the meeting a prophecy was given by one lady there. I didn’t here it all because I was drifting off to sleep at the time. I suddenly sat up and said what did she say because I heard the last bit and realised it was significant. I quoted the scripture “Trust in Yahuah and you shall be established trust in his prophets and you shall succeed” The bit I hear said “Yahuah will go before you and will be behind you”
The next day being Wednesday 18th of October 1995 I received a word in my spirit by song “Be still and know that I am Elohim and I am Yahuah that healeth thee” At this point I was still intending to leave straightaway.
Wednesday the 18th turned into Thursday the 19th October 1995. I awoke and opened the Bible after praying in tongues. My eyes fell on the following words
“Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great. And he shall divide spoil with the strong”
My eyes then shot across the pages to the following words
“ Depart! Depart! Go out from there. Touch no unclean thing go out from the midst of her. Be clean you who bear the vessels of Yahuah. For you shall not go out in haste nor go by flight. For Yahuah will go before you; and the Elohim of Israel will be your rear guard.” Isaiah 52-53
This word confirmed the prophecy on Tuesday night which had said Yahuah would go before use and behind us and which I had considered important at the time. We had been called to believe in Yahuah and his prophets back there on Tuesday.
Later on Thursday I received the following from Shirley:
“Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill made brought low
the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth”.
I understood by now that I was not to leave in a hurry or in haste but in Yahuah’s timing.
During this period my mother was very sick with cancer. I was going back and forth to London and praying that Yahuah would heal her completely of cancer. But Yahuah said no to my request and on the 27th of October 1995 my mother passed to be with Yahuah. That morning I woke up bright and early . I began to pray in tongues for mum. She had had a contortion the night before. . I felt to ring her although this was the first time I had done so at that time of the morning. I rang at about 8 am. Arlett a foster brother said she couldn’t speak and didn’t know if it was worth me speaking to her. I said let me speak to her. I spoke over the phone to her encouraging her to keep her eyes on Yeshua and to keep believing. Ten minutes later I received a phone call from Monica, my sister, telling me that mum had gone to be with Yahuah.
At the time a wrote a memorial for my mum a version of which I read the funeral service
For Mum a Memorial

Her standard, her righteousness and sanctification
Yahuah her place.
November came and now my mother was fully settled in heavenly places clothed with the eternal body given by Mashiach Yeshua. We had gone to the place they laid her with a minister who had raised the dead. We had every intention of having her raised up early. However the Bishop felt she was at rest and at peace. So we left her there.
During the funeral, which I lead the singing at, my great uncle told me it was time for me to go into the ministry. I knew it would happen some day, but when only Yahuah knew that. We would see mum at the resurrection, meanwhile we must prepare the rest of creation for the coming Kingdom of the Saints of the Most High. I went to visit Manchester and we went with the Manchester Christian College on outreach. It was Wednesday 15th November and during evangelism a Muslim lady asked us some questions. She had been a Muslim for twenty years. We went to her house and prayed with her. She committed her life to Yahuah. This brought a lot of trouble from her Muslim in laws she received threats that they would take away her children. We prayed for her but couldn’t really get access after that. She had been completely determined to get born again. I wrote a prayer for her and left her with a Frederick Price tape and another tape on faith. We know Yahuah will take care of his own and he never forgets sincere prayers calling on his help.
It was Sunday 15th of November 1995. John and I went on a sheep searching expedition to Liverpool. We prayed to meet sheep, that is people who are searching for the truth and need to be born again. We were going to a Korean meeting in Manchester. Before the meeting we were looking for sheep. We went to the university but met no one. We then lost the directions to the Church and spent some time looking for them. After a while we headed out to look for the church. We finally found the church we were looking for. We parked in a place slightly away from the church and started walking toward the church. As we walked I saw a lady who looked like a Muslim. I asked her the way to the Mosque. I realized she was the sheep we were looking for. I asked her if she was looking for the truth. She said “yes”. She was looking for the truth of how Judaism, Christianity and Islam could be one. We knew of course this could happened only through the cross of Mashiach an when the Muslims begin to worship Yahuah the Father through his Son Yeshua. I explained to her that the reason we met was because we had prayed to meet people looking for truth. I try to share with her but John kept on interrupting and contradicting. I would like to advise all evangelists in the world not to contradict one another when sharing the gospel. It really does undermine the gospel we are sent to share. How can we share the message of the love of Yahuah which produces unity between men and men and men and Elohim, and be divided at the very moment we share. These things should not be. If you disagree with your ministry partner tell them later, in private.
Any way we exchanged numbers and she rang John the next day. But we lost contact with her. John and I went on many sheep searching exploits in those days, and shared the gospel with many people.
Thursday 23rd November 1995
It was wonderful to reflect on Romans 8:28 today.
“And we know all things work together for good to them that love Elohim, to them who are called according to his purpose”
With this I was given a spiritual reflection
“At any point in time base your life on the unchanging Elohim and the changing man. We are changed from one degree of glory to another. Yahuah will teach us at every moment of our lives. As we wait with eager expectation. This doesn’t mean we wait doing nothing. Elohim’s purposes shall surely come to pass. When they come to pass our spirit testify with Elohim's spirit that he has done it. (There are no wasted years in the Christian life. Even wilderness times are productive times. Elohim controls the times and the seasons.”
The next day on Friday 24th November 1995, I was rang by Mrs. Cho and asked to come and help her husband with an essay. I decided to go on the Saturday to help Mr Cho. I recalled the day I first met Mr Cho in a meal with Koreans. We were talking and he had said he was had come to England with a dream, but was struggling in his studies because of the language problem. At that time I knew the great benefits of praying in tongues regularly, so I advised him to pray in tongues a lot. Immediately a look of pain came across his face and I could see he had received a lot of advice in the past, but not a lot of help. I felt compassion for him, I guess I must have offered to help, although I do not remember if I did or not. And it was his wife, who was in my class in the Manchester Bible College, who rang me on this day.
I promised them to return on Wednesday 29th November 1995 right after my trip to London.
That weekend interesting because I had decided to experiment with the power of the gift of tongues in the confused atmosphere of speakers corner. There were hundreds of peoples and ideas and false spirits all around. I knew that through praying in the spirit we had a spiritual impact on the atmosphere. I had experimented before. Back then I had preached for a few minutes in tongues in Leceister square. I had preached as vigorously as though it were in English. No one knew I was speaking in tongues they just thought I was preaching in some foreign language. As a result I had a crowd of people listening, to me, which I hardly ever get when I preach in English. I then switched to English and preached the gospel of salvation. The people began to disappear. Three teenage girls stayed behind to talk. They said that my voice was kind of magnetic. I shared a bit more with them. Then a man came over, he wanted to give his life to Yah Yeshua. So I prayed with him. After that successful experiment I was ready to try another one on another day. I said to my friend Enricho, watch this, I then went over into a corner and began to pray in spiritual tongues. After five minutes one of the Muslim contingent who knew of me called me over and said “speak in tongues”. I started to speak in tongues on the grounds that the scriptures say that tongues are a sign for the unbeliever. Suddenly there was a crowd of about twenty people, many Muslim, crowding around to listen. I then switched from tongues and preached in English. I understood this role of tongues most clearly from the day the Church was born. On that day all the Apostles and the community of Yah Yeshua in Mount Zion began to speak in tongues, spontaneously. When they poured out on to the streets they made such a din people accused them of being drunk on wine. That meeting back their on Shavuot 30 AD or June 30AD. Was the first open Charismatic meeting in the New Covenant Church. All the Apostles had gone out together and spoke in tongues together, at the same time, in the open air among unbelievers. Nowadays these times of worship take place behind closed doors in Church building or meeting halls or football stadiums. But on that day the Church took it to the street. The tongues acted as a sign. For the responsive, they were hearing the in the own dialect speaking the wonders of Elohim. For the cynical, they were drunk with wine. It is the same today among those who do not have the gift of tongues. Some think you are crazy some wonder Wow how did you learn that language and what are you saying? Well straight after the New covenant community was born speaking in tongues Peter gets up and gives a sermon followed by the cry of the spiritually hungry “What must we do to be saved?”. Then three thousand responded to the gospel which had been preceded by the praise meeting in tongues “Repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Yahoshua the Mashiach for the remission (reversal or removal or disappearance) of your sins, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, even as many as Yahuah our Elohim shall call” These new believers were wanting what the disciples had. And that included both the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Yeshua’s cross and the Gift of the Holy Spirit which was demonstrated through the speaking of languages as the Spirit gave them utterances.
I noticed the order of events.
(1)Speak in tongues,
(2)Proclaim the gospel
(3) Give people the opportunity to give their lives to Yeshua
(4) People get saved
So when I started preaching messages in tongues I was experimenting with this order and to this day I believe the Charismatic Church needs to take its worship on to the streets. Yes there will be those who will call them mad, as there were those who called Peter and the Apostles drunk, but there will be that three thousand nucleus who will get saved and the worship has a very powerful magnetic effect. It is to the ears of the unbeliever, like honey to the mouth. It is a spiritual reality, which they are looking for.
My Baptism in the Holy Spirit
I remember the days when we first attended a Charismatic congregation called Allerford Chapel in Bellingham southeast London, in 1975. I used to stand there when all the people started praying in tongues. I looked at them and thought “these people are crazy”. But a hunger for spiritual reality drove me on to desire the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. We went to a camp in 1979 called Downs Bible week. I was fourteen years old at the time. I had the guts in that time to lift my hands up during a meeting. This was really embarrassing for self conscious ‘trying to look cool persons” like my self. Despite the fact that King David had written around three thousand years before
“O Elohim, thou art my Elohim
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life
My lips shall praise thee
Thus will I bless thee while I live
I will lift up my hands in thy name
My soul shall be satisfied with marrow and fatness
And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips”
Because of my self consciousness I sat at the back, that way less people could see me, especially those who knew I was not the best behaved person in the world. For some reason bad behaviour doesn’t stop your soul desiring to praise Elohim. We were all singing a new song, as we tended to, quite often, in those days. This one I was really enjoying
“We’ll sing a new song, of glorious triumph
for we see the government of Elohim in our lives
We’ll sing a new song of glorious triumph
For we see the government of Elohim in our lives.
For he is -crowned
Elohim of the whole world- crowned
King of Creation- crowned
Ruling the nations now –ow-ow
Yes he is -crowned
Elohim of the whole world –Crowned
King of creation – crowned
Ruling the nations Now”
It was the last night of the camp and it was the last service of the camp and it was the last song of the service. I felt my arms going up into the air to give glory to Yahuah. They kind of got up there and kind of hung there. This was a break through in the worship of Elohim. Camps lead to breakthroughs. Some how being in a camp away from home, living in tents and with lots of people, including new people had this effect. I was born again at a Baptist camp when I was nine years old, in 1974. Now I raised my hands for the first time in a Downs Bible week camp among the newly growing Charismatics. Perhaps this is why Yahuah set Israel up in tents in the wilderness and at Mount Sinai to form them into a people and to give them his Torah his instructions. Life is simpler in camps and it has a much more communal orientation. You have to get on with each other and work together to deal with the problems the rain causes. You meet together on a daily basis like the early church and Yahuah speaks to the whole congregation like at the three festivals, Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot.
Anyway back then in those years, it will have been in July or August just before the school term would have begun, that I lifted my hands in worship. I also had someone pray for me to receive the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately I and my friend Matthew, were to busy giggling during his prayer to be sure we received anything. Together Matthew and I were a pair of gigglers. Perhaps we were trouble makers too, I don’t remember. But I know that I never spoke in the languages of the spirit for that whole year. Although I maintained that I was Baptised in the Spirit, by faith. I did not see the manifestation but trusted the laying on of hands by the man who did it.
It was at the next camp in the summer of 1978 or 1979, I’m not sure of the year, that I received the demonstrative sign that I had received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as we called it in those days. I was walking around the camp hungry. Yes, I thought, those guys in my Church who used to stand there and start speaking those strange languages, were crazy. But I wanted to be crazy too. I wanted, eagerly desired, to speak in supernatural tongues. As usual pride and self consciousness were obstacles in the path to my objective. In a morning service they had offered for those of us who wanted to speak in tongues to come up to prayed for. We must remember I was a thirteen or fourteen year old teenager who had a reputation to protect. No I wasn’t really cool or anything but still I was afraid to go up to be prayed for. It was like you didn’t want to admit that you were spiritually hungry to move forward with Yahuah but really you did. I had seen, heard and felt enough to know that not only was Elohim real, but the stuff these Charismatics used to sing about and do, some of that was real too. And I eagerly desired the spiritual gift of speaking in tongues. It was now a year since I had had hands laid on me to receive the Holy Spirit and I was maintaining my belief that I had received the Spirit. Well in the morning service as I said I was too fearful to go up to be prayed for. The evening service came around. This was a service for everybody, not just the youth. I was in ecstasy praising Yeshua.
“Oh Yeshua you are worthy
You are holy, righteous and just
Blessed be your name oh Yahuah
Praise your holy name”
Whilst I was caught up praising suddenly my tongue began to wag in ways it never wagged before. I was singing fluently in another language. It was amazing like my language was flying like an eagle and my tongue was free. It was so amazing and because my new languages came suddenly at a moment I was not consciously expecting it I was free from the doubt of one who was helped by someone laying hands on them and teaching them how to speak. I have no doubt that we receive the same gift but I was taken over in the most amazing manner. And these tongues did not just come when I was in ecstasy, they have stayed with me ever since for more than 22 years. They filled me with joy in the early days, when ever I spoke with my spirit as the Holy Spirit gave me utterance, I would immediately listen for an interpretation, although this was more difficult than speaking in tongues because it is way more subjective being in English. And over the years the tongues have become a greater and greater blessing in my Spiritual life and a witness to unbelievers.
The best way to use tongues as a witness is not to tell the cynical unbeliever that you are speaking in tongues. For I have met many a cynical unbeliever who was mocking the gift. It is because they have heard people saying “Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba” when they were speaking in tongues and think this is the extent that tongues goes to. Some saints who do not understand the gift of tongues also believe that they are not real languages but babbling. Some have even try to analyze the words and have shown to their satisfaction that tongues are not languages. The scripture says this would happen for to the carnal man what the spiritual man does is foolishness, for the carnal man is not in the same kingdom as the spiritual and so ridicules that which he doesn’t understand. Tongues are spiritual, even if the man speaking them is not, and when you speak in some tongues Paul says no one but Elohim understands you, unless there is an interpreter present or at least the gift of interpretation present.
To counter the cynics, I just go ahead and speak, and then comes the questions, what was the language you were speaking? Now I remember I did this once in Israel, in 2000 AD. I was up in Safed, at a Kleizmer festival and I was staying in a house with a lot of youths from around the country. Suddenly, with out expectation or planning, I burst out into tongues. I have to say the Spirit not only “blows where it listeth”, but it speaketh when it listeth too. So this Chasidic young man dressed in black, with the yarmuka and the whole regalia, says to me “What was that language you were speaking?” I was a little bit concerned because I was not on an evangelistic outreach but hanging out with my Jewish friend. I looked at my friend and seemed to get the go ahead to explain. ‘Ah that’s a language Elohim gave me to pray with”
“Wow!” Exclaimed the Chassid “that’s really cool man”. We then went and talked for an hour. However about Jesus, he did not want to hear anything, he had been taught not to listen to anything or talk to any one about Jesus. When I mentioned Yeshua at first he did not know who I was talking about. He said he really wanted the Holy Spirit, but the Rabbis had said it was really hard to get and he knew that he had to be patient, but that was hard too. I explained that you only need to ask for the Holy Spirit and you can have him for the Father is more willing to give the Holy Spirit than we are to receive it. More willing to give it that we are to give bread to our children. We have met two or three times since and have exchanged Emails. Please pray for Chaim.
There’s another instance where I was told by one believer, again a young man, who is a son of a minister in Tel Aviv, that he heard me glorifying Elohim in perfect Hebrew. He came up to me afterwards and said Do you speak Hebrew? I said Kitzat. And he said I had been glorifying Elohim with more than that. If that was the case, for he is only one witness, I could not witness myself for I don’t know enough Hebrew, then Hallelu Yah. There was an incident in Kensington Temple in London which is interesting in this respect. A Tamil man was brought to the Church by, I think his wife. He was waiting outside for her. The usher invited him in. but he really did not want to go in. In the end at the insistence of the usher he entered. He was sat next to a large African lady who he really did not want to be sat next to. Suddenly during worship he heard her speaking to him in perfect Tamil. It was Yeshua telling him the gospel and calling him to salvation. The man was amazed and gave his life to Yeshua. He then came back weeks later to testify as to the goodness of Yahuah to him in bringing him to repentance, the forgiveness of sins and receiving the Holy Spirit. How marvelous are the works of Yahuah.
I would like to return to the early camp days to share another song which touched me in those years
“I hear the sound of rustling in the leaves of the trees
The Spirit of Yahuah has come down on the earth
The Church that seemed in slumber had now risen from its knees
And dry bones are responding with the fruits of new birth
Oh this is now the time for declaration
The word will go to all men everywhere
the Church is here for healing of the nations
behold the day of Yeshua drawing near.
My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer
And what the Father gives to me I’ll sing
I only want to be his breath
I only want to glorify the King
And all around the world the body waits expectantly
The promise of the Father is now ready to fall
The watchmen on the tower all exhort us to prepare
And the Church responds- a people who will answer the call
And this is not a phase which is passing
It’s the start of an age that is to come
And where is the wise man and the scoffer?
Before the face of Yeshua they are dumb.
My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer
And what the Father gives to me I’ll sing
I only want to be his breath
I only want to glorify the King
A body now prepared by Elohim and ready for war
The prompting of the Spirit is our word of command
We, rise, a mighty army, at the bidding of Yahuah
The devils see and fear, for their time is at hand
And children of Yahuah hear our commission
That we should love and serve our Elohim as one
The Spirit won’t be hindered by division
In the perfect work that Yeshua has begun
My tongue will be the pen of a ready writer
And what the Father gives to me I’ll sing
I only want to be his breath
I only want to glorify the King
I remember singing this song with great kavanagh, especially the chorus. And so here I am writing what Yahuah ha shown me over these many years they Yahuah might be glorified in his holy and set apart name.
Back to 1995 and Speakers Corner
I was really excited by the fact that my tongues experiment had worked and that I had had the opportunity to preach the gospel to a crowd of Muslims and was on a spiritual high. We went very excited to the service at Kensington temple.
Before the service I went down to the bookshop. There I saw a lady who looked completely out of it. We started speaking and she was if she was to be believed, actually suicidal. We spoke for an hour and she was somewhat encouraged after our conversation. She had had a lot of spiritual experiences which she didn’t really understand. We exchanged addresses and phone numbers and planned to meet before I went off to Manchester, on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
And it came to pass on Tuesday that I was an hour and a half earlier than planned in the center of London. I decided to ring Lesley, with whom I had an appointment at 4 p.m. I went to the phone to call. As I approached I felt a great tension in my spirit. From this I was uncertain as to whether I should call or not. But as I looked at the phone I noticed that money was already in the phone. So I stretched out my hand to pick up the phone, but as I stretched out my hands to pick up the phone, suddenly the money disappeared into the phone and I could not use it to make the call. I concluded that I was not supposed to ignore the tension in my spirit and I should just go to Lesley at 4pm with out calling before.
I arrived at Lesley’s at 4 p.m. I asked her what had been happening at 2 30pm, she said that at that time she was really out of it and if I had called she would have cancelled. We then ate a meal and chatted. She lent me two Kenneth Hagin tape series “Listening to the Spirit” and “Growing up Spiritually” and a book called “That None Should Perish”. This last one was a book I had seen a few weeks before at an Ellel conference with Jackie Pullinger, in Blackpool. I had wanted to read it but was unwilling to pay the seven pounds ninety nine pence required to purchase it. (I remember that night also for the power of a prayer of a man called Horobin I think. We went up the front to be prayed for. He was into deliverance ministry, which means freeing people from the power of unclean spirits. And all I can say is this: when that man prayed something hit that room. I mean after he prayed I felt something hit my head physically. Such is the one who spends time in the presence of Yahuah.)
Lesley was encouraged by our talk and the last thing I heard was that she was getting married to a man she had met.
After a few days in London I was trying to decide when to go back to help Mr Cho. I asked the Spirit if I should leave on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Spirit said “Did you not want to help a man of Elohim?”
I replied “yes” Then the Spirit said “Is not Mr Cho a man Elohim?
So I decided that I should leave London on the Tuesday night
To arrive in Manchester by Wednesday morning 29th November 1995.
I arrived in Manchester to help Mr Cho with his essay on Thomas Cranmer and Henry the Eighth. I had to return because when I had visited his house the previous Saturday I realized it was too much work for one day, considering I had not studied the subject before. Because I was in Manchester and it was a Wednesday I decided to attend the Manchester Bible College which was run by Manchester Pentecostal Assembly and had nothing to do with the Nazarene College where Mr Cho was doing his MA
Get out from your Country
George Harris was the lecturer and I was only there in Manchester because I happened to be helping Mr Cho at the request of his wife, Sun Hee. Pastor George began the lecture. We always enjoyed his lectures because he was so full of joy. We sat there and Pastor George related to us the subject of the lecture, it was Thomas Cranmer and Henry 8th. I was amazed. How could this be I thought what an amazing coincidence. But the surprise didn’t stop there. George began to say no wonder the Anglican Church is in such a mess if it started like this. Now it just so happens that I am a person who likes to share his opinions. Even if I am not an expert, I do like to say what I think. And my studies of Thomas Cranmer and Henry 8th had lead me to develop some ideas. I put my hand up and asked to make a comment. I began to speak saying I disagree because was only an archdeacon and was raised to the position of Archbishop of Canterbury in a swift and surprising move. He was exalted to the tight hand of the throne in order that he might help remove the control of Roman Catholicism from England. Henry the 8th felt like he was under the curse of Leviticus 20:21 “And if man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness they shall remain childless” Henry the 8th had married his brother’s wife and she had had 2 miscarriages , so he perceived that he may have been under the judgement of that decree”. At this point Pastor George left the lecture. He then turned to Genesis 12: 1-3 and read
“Now Yahuah had said unto Abram,
get thee out of thy country
and from thy kindred
and from thy father’s house
unto a land that I will shew thee
And I will make of thee a great nation
And I will bless thee
And make thy name great
And thou shalt be a blessing
And I will bless them that bless thee
And I will curse them that curse thee
And in thee shall all the families
Of the earth be blessed”
Pastor George went on to expound the passage read and never went back to the subject of the lecture. Needless to say this made a great impression on me. This was the same passage the Pastor had read back on October 15th 1995, in the little church in Blackpool and George read it immediately after I had spoken. It indicated to me that there may be more to this getting out of my country and my father’s house than the movement from London where my father lives through Doncaster to Blackpool. It also unsettled me a little for it seemed to indicate that I had not yet come to a place of rest.
The Movement from Doncaster to Blackpool
And it came to pass that after a few days of staying in Manchester and helping Mr Cho I completed my task. I then set off back to Doncaster. I arrived at the Bus station exactly on time to catch the bus from Manchester to Doncaster. However the bus began to leave as I arrived. I waved to the bus driver and he ignored me although he and I knew there were two hours until the next bus. With great wrath I ran in front of the bus and stood. My foolishness against the brute force of a massive double decker bus. He tried to drive slowly out but I would not budge. I turned and looked the bus driver in the face, I shouted to him, “You are well out of order”. He looked totally mad. Some security officials from the bus station came to me and said I was holding up the whole bus station and wanted to know what the problem was. I replied that it was two hours to the next bus and I didn’t have that kind of time available. He said he would talk to the bus driver and see what he could do. I replied that if he tried and failed I would let the bus go. However he succeeded and I entered the bus. The bus driver didn’t even look vaguely angry as I entered, in fact he looked like he didn’t care. I went upstairs feeling embarrassed to sit downstairs where everybody probably saw me. I settled down and began to read the book “That None Should Perish” which I had obtained from Lesley in London the previous Monday.
Saturday night moved into Sunday and I woke depressed. I mean I was in the doldrums depressed. I looked at my situation with all the debts and the fact that my plans for businesses were not flourishing. I had bought a car and planned to use it as a taxi, although I would not be the driver because I had not passed my test. But the guy I had talked to about this turned out to be more unreliable than I, and that didn’t happen. I had also planned to buy and sell property, but had simply not got to grips with the system and had bought and sold nothing. But still owed the 25000 pounds mortgage on my house, along with other debts I had run up. I looked at the whole situation and decided “ business or no business, I must work. I need to work”
I was no alien to work. From the day I was legally allowed to work in Macdonald's I had began to work. That was the day I was 16 years and 3 months old. I had worked from then May 8th 1981, and every year since until 1995 August when my contract finished with the school in Doncaster. I sat down and thought about it and decided to move to Blackpool and to work from there. After all my boasting to the school kids about going to be a millionaire, how shameful it would be to be seen in the Job Centre. Also since I felt it was right to move to Blackpool anyway, I may as well move now and obtain work when I got there.
I had found a place on Livingstone road in a Christian guest house and it had been a wonderful opening for some where to live. Yahuah had prepared a place there for me. They also had a vision for buying properties and they had started with one and were planning to expand to a second any time then. I would move into the second and they felt I would join the ministry team there. I was not so sure Yahuah had not said so.
The way I met these people was quite amazing. Yahuah had said he would go ahead of me to Blackpool to prepare the way. I went to Blackpool to visit John and I was signing on in Blackpool at that point. One day when we had finished signing on the dole, John said don’t you think you ought to look at some properties. He said this because I hadn’t looked at any properties yet. I replied “I don’t think so, Yahuah said he would go ahead of me to prepare the way”. Just then the name of the Christian bookshop “Chapter and Verse” popped into my mind. I said t John “Isn’t Chapter and Verse” around here somewhere? He said “yes its just down there” pointing down a street. So I said I was going to go there and that I thought there would be something to do with my accommodation in there.
I left John and entered the bookshop. On their notice board they had an advert for a Christian guesthouse. I rang them but no one was there. I then rang later and connected with someone. I went along to visit them because it was quite close to where I was. We talked and they both had a witness that I was meant to be involved with their ministry. I told them the whole testimony to date as it is contained in this book.
It was this house now five weeks later on December 2nd 1995 that I was going to move into.
Is Yahuah commanding me not to work in secular work?
Let us return to that important day on December 2nd 1995. For on that day decisions were made which affected the next 6 years of my life and changed the direction of my life significantly. I decided in the midst of my depression on that day that it was imperative that I get secular work. I set my heart with determination to do this. As I had done when I obtained my previous jobs over the previous 15 years. It was a strong decision borne partly out of frustration with my failed business plans. I felt in my spirit to go to Doncaster Pentecostal Church that morning. So although I was late I went.
Message “Not by works but by Grace”
And it came to pass that I arrived at the church and they were singing praises to Elohim as Christians are wont to do. The praise was followed up by the Pastor preaching with great intensity and vigour.
“I am astonished that you are so quickly removed from him that called you into the grace of Mashiach unto another gospel: which is not another gospel, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Mashiach. But though we or and angel from heaven preach any other unto you, than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema. As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received let him be anathema”
The preacher explained that Paul was absolutely flabbergasted or astounded. He then went on to Galatians 3:1
“ O foolish Galatians who has bewitched you
that you should not obey the truth,
before whose eyes Yahoshua the Mashiach hath been
evidently set forth, crucified among you.
This only I would learn of you,
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Torah or by the hearing of faith?
Are you so foolish?
Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh?
Have you suffered so many things in vain?
If it be yet in vain
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit,
And worketh miracles among you,
Doeth it by works of the Torah or by the hearing of faith?”
Having read these passages in his translation, with some expansion he preached. When he began his sermon, I was very shocked with the contrast between the hearing of faith and works, and the level of intensity and expression in the minister’s voice. I felt like he was talking direct into my situation and his intensity matched my intensity in my decision to go and find secular work out of frustration. The words I AM ASTONISHED and the preacher’s movements ring in my memory to this day.
The sermon included some very interesting points as follows
The Galatians were following another gospel not that of the Grace of our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach
Salvation is by GRACE (Charis, Chesed or Chen) “Some of us are reluctant to receive from Elohim undeserved blessing. That is receiving things by Grace. Preachers do not feel good enough to stand up and talk to people. Paul’s gospel is Grace, Grace, Grace. Hearing of faith – Grace.
Some one sneaked into the Church and started to try and make the people slaves. Come by Grace go on in Grace. (When I Edi, received tongues I heard about it believed it, and I received it completely undeserved). All is by Grace. All is by the favour of Elohim. Yahuah reminds us his love is constant and true and is always there. Stand upon the rock not on the sand.”
After the meeting a lady came over to me and introduced herself. She said she had testified in the meeting, which she had done before I had arrived. Then she said something, which in the context of my situation struck me. She said “Sometimes you have to trust Elohim in the dark when you don’t know why you are trusting”. Tears almost welled up in my eyes and I wondered why a strange lady should walk up to me and say that in this day when the darkness of my day was particularly dark.
And it came to pass that after the service I went back to my house and packed my bags. I wasn’t quite sure what Yahuah was saying but I had a new confession on my lips over my situation. “It is by Grace I am saved through faith and that not of myself it is a gift of Elohim. It is by Grace I am delivered through faith and that not of my self it is a gift of Elohim.”
For I was aware that in New Testament Greek the word for salvation means “temporal or physical and spiritual, deliverance, preservation wholeness and healing” so I was applying it to my financial situation. Was Yahuah going to release me from debt like he released me from the debt of my sins through the grace of our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach? I was not sure because to me the message in the Galatians appeared to be talking about the doctrine of salvation spiritually.
Despite all these thoughts, I still left to Blackpool with the intention of getting work as a paid employee but with a questions in my mind, was I meant to continue the path self employment in my own business or was Yahuah saying something else?
And it came to pass that I arrived in Blackpool after a bus journey when many confessions of the word received in the morning, “It is by Grace I am delivered through faith, and that not of my self it is a gift of Elohim”. I arrived in the evening and so went straight to Blackpool Christian fellowship because although I had not been there before, Yahuah had indicated that he wanted me to go there. I especially wanted to go that night because I felt my spirit tell me to go.
Blackpool Christian Fellowship
When I got to the meeting I discovered that the strategy the leader was outlining came from a book. It was the book “That None Should Perish”. The same book I had picked up the previous weekend in London form Lesley as you have already read. They had only started to go through the book the previous weekend, when I had met Lesley and this was the last weekend they were going to use the book as the basis of the message of the sermon. Secondly the sermon was on how Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had tried to put work on the sons of Israel to try to wear them out. You can imagine the effect this was having on me. I had just decided out of frustration of failed self employment, to get a secular job and work. In my own words “I need to work”. And when I said work I meant work with a regular salary, we are all workers in one way or another, whether we are working with a salary or not. I had decided to do this with determination. And here was the second sermon in one day on the theme of a kind of work. The morning sermon spoke of the works of the Torah and the evening sermon the work of hard labour, of those who work for a living. Paraphrased the sermon said the following:
“Pharaoh, made the Israelites slaves. The truth was they were never meant to be slaves. Joseph had died and the promises were forgotten. So this meant Israelites began to be slaves of Egypt. In Ed Silvoso’s book “That None Should Perish” he says that when the truth is kept from you, you can act on a lie. You might be set free by the law in a war but you might not have been told. The example was given of some prisoners of war who were still held captive in Japan at the end of World War II. They were held because the news never reached that area about the war finishing until later on.
Prayer Evangelism
The reading for this is Exodus 2:23-25.
“And it came to pass in the process of time
that the king of died
and the children of Israel sighed
by reason of the bondage.
And Elohim heard their groaning
And Elohim remembered his covenant
With Abraham Isaac and Jacob
And Elohim looked upon the Children of Israel
And Elohim had respect unto them”
Elohim heard their cry and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They were just shepherds, there was no way they could have overcome Pharaoh.
The second reading was from Exodus 3:7-8.
“And Yahuah said
I have surely seen the affliction of my people
Which are in Egypt
And have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters
I know their sorrows;
And I am come down to deliver them
Out of the hand of Egypt
And to bring them out of that land
Unto a good land and a large
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey
Unto the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites
And the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites
And the Jebusites.”
Satan has a fear of Christians coming out of their ignorance and realizing the power of Elohim’s word, worship and the blood of the Lamb etc. Repentance is not just saying “I’m sorry”. Repentance is saying “I will not do that.” We need a change of the perception of reality. I follow Yeshua into the promised land not back into Egypt. Our fear and anxieties become the store cities of Pharaoh. They also become weapons against us.”
The days passed by and Blackpool became my temporary home. Each week John and I would drive over to Manchester on a Tuesday night to attend the bible college sessions on a Wednesday. We arrived at Tuesday December 5th 1995 and I was still alive. On this day I testified to Pastor George as to the encouragement he had given me the previous Wednesday with the amazing “God incidence” as we began to call coincidences divinely ordained. He prayed for me at that time and felt he had word for me.
“You shall go out with joy and Yahuah shall preserve you in your going out and your coming in”
I was also given Psalm 111 and John 6:28-29.
“ Praise Ye Yahuah
I will praise Yahuah with my whole heart
In the assembly of the upright
And in the congregation.
The works of Yahuah are great
Sought out of all of them that have pleasure therein
His work is honourable and glorious
And his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered
Yahuah is gracious and full of compassion
He hat given meat unto them that fear him
He will ever be mindful of his covenant
He hath shewed his people the power of his works
That he may give them the heritage of the heathen
The works of his hands are verity and judgement
All his mitzvoth are sure
They stand fast for ever and ever
And are done in truth and uprightness
He sent redemption unto his people
He hath commanded his covenant for ever
Holy and reverend is his name
The fear of Yahuah is the beginning of wisdom
A good understanding have all they that do
His praise endureth for ever”
“Then they said unto him
What shall we do, that we might work the works of Elohim?
Yeshua answered and siaid unto them
This is the work of Elohim
That Ye believe on him whom he hath sent”
During this same period when I was in the transition from Doncaster life to Blackpool-Manchester life I was also given some other words from Yahuah through his body
“Yahuah rewords those who diligently seek him”
Our heart devotion matters, other things fall into place.
It is amazing how Yahuah picks you up when you get to a low place and he usually doesn't it through his body on earth. Each week at the Bible college we used go out on outreach once a week. A man call Albert, who did not know me much nor I him was praying for various people. He encouraged us praying that “we would see the reality of his presence with us. We must believe that he is and he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him”.
And it came to pass on December 10th 1995 that Shirley a Christian friend of mine from Doncaster felt she had a word for me
“Your work is to believe in the Son sent of the Father, the just shall live by faith”.
I attended the Harvest fields fellowship that Sunday morning and I then returned home. I later went to another service I felt lead to go to at the Doncaster Pentecostal Church a lady shared a dream which I felt was relevant to me at the time. “Some one was on a dish high in the air. An authority figure flew by in a rectangular parachute. The lady jumped on to the parachute, the other person was too fearful. The parachute seemed to be freedom of the Spirit. “ She and her husband were testifying as to how Yahuah had called them to a Bible college and had provided for them. Their message to us was that Elohim gives good gifts to his children.
You will be told and WAY and
You’ll have to give and account for this on Judgement day
And it came to pass that on Monday 11th December 1995 that
“I started to go on a journey and I was told that I would be told the right way to go. I went with some friends on this journey. On the way back we came across what looked like a pub on the outside. Some one was near the door there talking about war and conflict. We went inside the pub and discovered after a while that a state school religious education teacher was working there. Her name was Mrs. Andrews and when I was in Doncaster, she was the head of the Religious Education department of the school I had worked in.
Mrs. Andrews was telling some very funny stories, as she worked behind the bar, and we were laughing. We discovered that the inside of this pub was a classroom and one of the pupils had thrown something across the classroom. We decided to keep the students there until we knew who it was. We used various techniques to try and discover who had thrown the object. At one point I looked at a pupil, most of them were looking innocent but this one might be looking down as though guilty. So I would call that one out to blame him. They might be avoiding eye contact or behaving rudely, so I would pretend to release the rest of the class, then I might decide, no I can’t do that and have them all sit down again. I was just picking on one here and there trying to discover who had thrown this object.
Finally one of the pupils said it couldn’t be the students of the right of the class because it was thrown from the left. We confirmed that and we released those on the right, although when I turned around to let them go, most of them were going anyway. I went to the left corner and picked on one kid, I changed my mind and picked on another who wouldn’t show any eye contact, and I took him to the front saying “This is the one” and someone thought he might be a Muslim or something. However when we got his pen or bookmarker, it had Hebrew on it and some writing from the Bible or Judaism. So I thought he was a Jew. I thought “Wow! We’ll have to account for this on judgement day”, but then I thought “Maybe I selected him because I was destined, called or needed to meet him.” I then saw his face, he had a long beard and his hair was gingery brown. He was possibly between 35 and 50 years old. Later Mrs. Andrews partner came and we left the school”.
I recorded this dream in my diary because it seemed to be significant at the time, although I did not think much more about it. But now I consider it, its punchline fits right in with the idea of this book, Rosh Ha Shah and the decrees Elohim over our lives to come. Would I have to give an account of meeting that Jewish pupil turned adult on December 11th 1995 on a coming judgement day?
The days of December passed miraculously with divine appoint after divine appointment. Perhaps that dream had set a series of divine appoints into place which would culminate with me meeting the Jewish pupil who some perceived to be a Muslim but who turned out to be a Jewish man in his thirties or forties.
The Way stop 1- Newcastle
My friend Chiemi from Osaka Japan invited me to see her graduation at the University of Newcastle. She did this because I had gone up to Newcastle previously for a few days and helped her with the English for her Masters degree thesis. She said she would pay my expenses because I did not have much money. However she changed her mind so I decided I would not go to the graduation. In the same period I had an irritating toothache. I walked around for a couple of weeks praying for Yahuah to heal my tooth or to lead me to the right dentist. I was no longer a school kid so dental expenses, I understood would be high. I saw in my mind’s eye the tooth being crushed a couple of times but I did not know the full significance of this.
And it came to pass on the 13th December 1995, the day my friend was graduating, that I awoke at 3 AM with a searing pain across the top of my jaw. In great pain I asked the Spirit “Should I go to Newcastle?” After my Spirit said yes I prayed for two hours or so for the healing of my tooth and I prayed in tongues. I used the confession “By his wounds I am healed” referring to the fact that the scriptures teach of Mashiach Yeshua, who saved me and lives in me
“Surely Yeshua the Mashiach
hath borne our sicknesses,
and carried our pains”
This is Isaiah 53 read with the revelation of the New Covenant. It is no use pretending, any more we know it is true. Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland taught that the words in the Hebrew text which are usually translated griefs and sorrows can be translated literally sicknesses and pains. I knew the spiritual lesson these two men of faith and Elohim had taught me had only brought great spiritual benefit into my life. And also into the life of those whom I had encouraged with the teachings, so I applied them in my situation.
Yahuah put a buffer between my bad tooth and my gum affording me some relief. Usually on a Tuesday John would drive us to Manchester from Blackpool so that we could attend the Bible College. He would then drive us back again on the Wednesday. However in this particular week he was leaving Manchester to visit his girlfriend in Birmingham. So he promised he would give me the money to return to Blackpool, instead of a lift. But now I had new directions, I needed to go to Newcastle not Blackpool.
So when John awoke in the morning I asked him if I could use the money he had promised me, to go to Newcastle instead of Blackpool. I told him about my painful, prayerful night. He agreed and so the trip was set. Little did I know where all this guidance and direction were leading, and yet Yahuah who decreed the path knew all things yea even the end from the beginning.
John and I had both felt uncertain the night before as to whether I should be going to the Bible College, so this change of direction was not too shocking. We now felt the coach to Newcastle would probably be leaving around 8:30 AM. So we aimed for me to get that coach. Little did I know what surprises Yahuah had in store for that trip and for the next few weeks the events that would occur that would change my destiny and lead me in the way of my calling.
We arrived at the Bus station at about 8:35 am due to traffic and sure enough I had missed the direct to Newcastle. However the ticket seller told me I could get a bus to Leeds and from there change to a bus for Newcastle. This would mean I would arrive in Newcastle an hour earlier than the earlier bus. Please don’t ask me how that works but it does in England. It all down to the number of stops a bus makes on route.
And it came to pass that I got the 9 am bus to Leeds and changed to the Newcastle bus. I was sat next to a young lady who turned out to be an ex student from Newcastle University. But of all the subjects she could have studied it turned out she had studied Dentistry. Not only that but she informed me that Newcastle University had a dental hospital and if I went there they would do give me a check up and treat me the same day. This was amazing considering with normal dentists you have to book days ahead and pay masses of money which I just did not have. So as I arrived at the University I followed her instruction and went straight to the Dental hospital. I got and appointment very quickly but boy did my student have problems getting my tooth out. She must have stabbed me with that numbing needle 10 times. I have discovered that whenever it is time for one of my teeth to say goodbye, they always put up a struggle and really it was little to do with the poor dental student who was assigned to me on that predestined day. I was very pleased afterwards and if I had been more organized I could even have got my travel fare back because I was on income support.
And it came to pass that I left the dental hospital with one less tooth, a numb mouth and a warning of pain when the numbness would wear off. I went to see my friend Chiemi’s graduation. I missed her going up by a few minutes but still I was there for the good byes and the celebrations. After a while it became apparent that Chiemi had to say good bye to everybody in the university, or at least it felt that way. She also had another friend visiting and staying and so the attention given to me was extremely slim. Now there is a lesson in this which I have learned and will pass on to you for nothing. Sometimes Yahuah will make you uncomfortable in the place you are in order that you will desire to move on to the place he wants you to be. He does not always speak directly into your heart “Edi Go to Birmingham”. He sometimes lets you know through the way people treat you and the books he puts before your eyes. So here is how Yahuah guided me out of Newcastle and over to Birmingham.
The Way Stop 2 – Birmingham
I started to get a little irritated about the business of Chiemi. She had so many people to say good bye to. I remembered the days back in London, maybe 5 years before when I had her undivided attention. I remembered the days when she used to say ‘I am going to become a Air hostess and when I get my tickets from the airline to Hawaii I will send you one and we will meet in Hawaii”. But now those days were gone and it was the UN that took her interest and her student friends her attention. So rather that be a burden, I decided to stay in the house while she partied with her friend as she parted from her friends and I would see her later.
Chiemi left and it happened that I was watching TV in her flat. I was watching Bugsy and enjoying it. I was just settling down after my hectic day, and the TV suddenly cut out so that I couldn’t see the program. I tried my best to get the program back but failed and in the end, in my disappointment I gave up. How sad I thought. I began to look for anything I could read or do. I looked over the packed shelves and noticed a book on Muslim- Christian Dialogue. Chiemi, had become a believer since I had met her and I guess she had looked into other faiths before making her decision. The dialogue was set in Sparkbrooke Birmingham. As you know from my past I was well used to so called Muslim Christian Dialogue. As I read the book I was aware that my spirit was completely at peace and I concluded that I was supposed to go to Birmingham, perhaps on Thursday 14th December 1995, with John. I planned to leave Newcastle the next morning, but when Chiemi came back she was still so busy and pre occupied that I noticed I wasn’t really benefiting her by being there. Who knows perhaps that was why she had changed her mind about paying the ticket as she had promised. I decided at the last moment that I would rather sleep in Manchester Coach station or Airport. I left midst great and sad good byes and headed to Manchester Airport for the first time in my life.
The night passed peacefully partly on the coach and partly in the Airport. The Airport was much warmer than the Bus station that was for sure. I headed over to the Bible College in the morning but was too tired to listen so I rested in another place by myself. I met John after the lectures and told him I felt I should go to Birmingham. John shouted “Oh No!” With a great and surprising welcome smile. No actually he was completely not in agreement with the plan. This made me question the Holy Spirit a number of times but it seemed clear the way I was being lead and the Spirit simply confirmed the way. Since Yahuah planned it John was caused by the great and awesome oversight of Yahuah, and Johns kindness although completely unwilling, outwardly, to take me.
John then stated that he didn’t want to be responsible to find me any accommodation whatsoever in any manner whatsoever. He had had two leeches before and that was what he thought when I said I should go to Birmingham. In Birmingham I discovered that Cath, Johns girlfriend was of the same opinion. Clearly when these two marry they will make a wonderful couple with such unity. In Birmingham I was in Cath’s sisters house. The Spirit told me not to let my decision be affected by John’s unwillingness and outright desire not to have me there. After all the millions of Muslims who will come to Yeshua in the future, for salvation are not at present willing to receive him are they? Indeed it reminds of a vision I had in 1996, where I was holding on to a blue transporter which was taking me up and up. I went past various lands and finally came to a community that looked like very angry Muslims. I floated up above them and they were looking up at me shouting angrily “You are Christian, You are Christian” I guess at least it affirmed who I was in the spiritual realm. Then I saw a black bust of the upper part of Yeshua crowned with a crown of thrones and carrying the cross. It was placed on top of some kind of roman building with the triangular bit at the top held up by pillars. The lesson is we should not let the unwillingness of those around us stop us following the way Yeshua has prepared for us. We must listen to his voice and follow it and all will be well.
It was not surprising John did not want me around he was going to spend time with his woman, and who wants a brother or sister hanging around when they are going to spend quality time with their girlfriend or boyfriend, no one.
The tensions were high, I was penniless and so just had to face the music of my situation. John and Cath were waiting for Liz, Cath's sisters. I felt I should give them some time and so I said I would go for a walk for twenty minutes. John said make it half an hour.
The Days of Birmingham
As I wondered the streets of Birmingham I came across a little Church, whereupon I entered the Church and began to cry out to Yahuah. Having cried out for a short time I returned to the house of Cath and to my most unwelcoming hosts. It was requested of my Brother John that he would go and buy some chips and It was accepted that I brother Edi, being his guest ought to accompany him. Ten second had not passed as we began to descend the stairs and a most awful moaning began to leave brother Johns’ lips.
“What I prophesied,” He moaned
“Is coming true. I should be spending time with Cath and you’re in the way”. I was already a little tense and uncomfortable at the treatment I had received. I quickly decided going to get chips with Brother John was not the most effective way to spend my precious limited resource of time. I responded to John as any child would in that situation
“I don’t want to come and get chips”. At this I swiftly turned on my heels and headed nonchalantly up the stairs. It is true I was a guest and it is true I would not act this way when visiting the house of a friends friend but all these truth’s meant nothing to me at that point.
I also decided I would test this experience, this whole trip with the utmost care to see if indeed this was the right way to take. Indeed I would test even more carefully to see if I had really heard the voice of Yahuah or was I in an imaginary world of my own making. I would test my experience by that most reliable of test expounded by Yahuah himself, the fruit, where would this path lead me?
I had as you are aware from the reading of this book a number of contacts in Birmingham. I began feverishly to attempt to contact someone anyone who could redeem the situation reverse my captivity and connect me to the peaceful way again. I tried to find the number of a certain Dominic who had invited to visited him Birmingham number of years before. However this came to nothing. I moved on to Steve, of whom you have read earlier.
It happened that John had one important contact to meet in Birmingham, apart from Cath and that was Steve. He was a friend of Cath's sister and was like John, interested in the establishing of a Christian language school. To me this was a most unexpected encouragement. The very man I had counseled not more than two years before had not only began to walk in a new path but here we were, about to cross paths again and all because his possible ministry partner was a man Yahuah had connected me to also by the Spirit.
Cath reluctantly offered me a sleeping bag, a kindness I probably found it difficult to appreciate at the time. John asked me “How long are you staying?” I didn’t really have an answer at the time considering I had no money and was in a strange suburb of Birmingham. They were wanting to go to the pub and perhaps I was a great hindrance in their minds. All this was taking place without Liz, Cath's sister having the foggiest notion that I was homeless in Birmingham. Perhaps I was learning a little how Yeshua felt when the Samaritans refused him because he was on his way to Judea and so he told one disciple “Foxes have holes birds of the air have nests but the Son of man has no where to lay his head”
John and Cath who seemed to make a big thing out of Steve being busy and living in such a place as to be completely inconvenient for me to stay, finally allowed me his number.
The Airport option seemed to appear more realistic by the minute and John went upstairs a related to Cath the plan. There was one problem with the plan that being that the airport was half an hour away. As John related this to Cath I heard a great cry come out “Oh NO!” It was the same cry John had let out when I initially related my feeling to him. Only his time it came from sister Cath, whom to this day I had considered sweet and friendly. You like I may wondered who taught who to shout “Oh No” in the manner they were wont to exclaim.
Another telling thing about the whole event was that Brother John too had nowhere to stay. He called to some missionary friends of his and they happened to be out when he called. He obtained a neighbour, with whom he was not aquainted, this man kindly offered to John a bed for the night.
Well John completely his discussion with Sister Cath and came down to me he spoke quickly ‘if you are back here in an hour I will give you a lift to the place I am staying at. And if Andy and Debbie are there you can stay with them. If not I don’t know what is going to happen”. Andy and Debbie were a missionary couple whom John knew for many years. When he had rang earlier they were not home.
I left the house and went to visit Steve. I spoke with Steve for and hour and was encouraged to see him I testified to him of Yahuah’s goodness. The Spirit reminded me of how the disciples had gone from town to town and were commanded to bring no purse with them and to stay with the righteous people in the town. The scripture came to me
“The worker is worthy of his hire” The scripture was followed up with another thought
“You haven’t done any work yet” By this times I was totally resolved to see how this whole thing panned out. I wanted to know if I had heard from Yahuah or not for I would not do this again for fun. Indeed I said “If Yahuah had not spoken blessed be the name of Yahuah”.
Steve and I arrived back at Liz’s house. Liz was surprised to see me because she thought I had gone out with John and Cath.
I explained that they wanted time for themselves. I sat with Liz and the clocked kept ticking, after half an hour John and Cath returned.
Brother John Apologizes
And it came to pass that John and I were alone again in the car. We were headed to the place he was staying. John was in an apologetic mood. He explained that he and Cath had had a wonderful time in the pub which was “totally selfish” as he put it. He then said he was sorry for being ratty an d explained that he often got ratty when he couldn’t spend time with Cath. I was measured in my response explaining that I wanted to see how things turned out. He responded kindly saying he hoped it turned out well because he wanted me to be right.
The Turn Around
We were partly reconciled in the car and we arrived at Andy and Debbie’s house. They were home, thanks be to Yahuah and invited us both to stay. It turned out they were leaving the next day on a mission trip and they said we could stay in the house. They also said there was food in the house which we were welcome eat. They were missionaries with Horizons, a ministry I had gone a mission trip to Morocco with in 1985. Because they were leaving in the morning they were pushed for time regarding the stamping and sending of their newsletter. So I ended up stamping and sending the letters and was welcomed to take the change from the job.
The next morning Andy, Debbie and John left early. It was only on that predestined Friday morning the 15th of December that I discovered they were with Horizons. It also realized that it was with Horizons that I had received my first call to Muslim work. In that time I was like blind Bar Timaeus receiving the word of Yeshua “Stand up for he is calling you”
But now it was 10 years later and I was still on the way. I awoke that morning and I opened my Bible on Revelations 5:9-11:
“And they sung a new song, saying
Thou art worthy to take the book
And to open the seals thereof
For thou wast slain
And hast redeemed us to Elohim by thy blood
Out of every kindred, and tongue and people and nation
And hast made us unto our Elohim
Kings and Kohanim
And we shall reign on earth
And I beheld and heard the voice of many angels
Round about the throne and the beasts
And the elders
And the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand
And thousands of thousands”
The element of us being purchased by the lamb struck me and there was a cross reference to 1 Corinthians 6: 20
“For you are bought with a price
therefore glorify Elohim with your body
and your spirit which are Elohim's”
I read accidentally I Corinthians 7 :20
“Let every man abide in the same calling
wherein he was called”
I put a tape on to listen to the word of Yahuah. It was Kenneth Copeland preaching. In the message he quoted Revelations 5:9-11 and he preached vigorously “There looking for Elohim among the Muslims”.
It was such coordination of messages that continued to assure me that Yahuah was organizing the whole life and it was for the sake of Zion.
That night I went to a prayer meeting at a Church of a Pastor we will call Martin Harris who had visited us in Manchester and had said that one day I would encourage his evangelistic team in his Church in Birmingham. We praised Yahuah with the rhythm of the Blues and the harmonies only Pentecostal singers can bring together. This was a Church with people of African British origin and the liveliness and the spontaneity of the praise expressed that very powerfully.
The next day on December 16th 1995, a shabbat we went out to evangelise in the center of Birmingham. It was a cold wintry morning and the caretaker of the Church, Jeff, gave me a nice thick blue black and white jacket. He noticed my lack of covering. We witnessed to our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach for an hour in the open air. Then the team was packing away. We had completed our outreach. But I was used to London where we went out for hours and just kept on going. So I thought to my self I haven’t even started yet. Especially as we hadn’t met any Muslims and I had bee sent to Birmingham on a mission linked with the. Suddenly a young Muslim man dressed the outfit of a middle eastern culture and accompanied by his wife who was also covered in a Muslim Arabic headwear, came to the place where we were supposed to be leaving. He walked up to me and said with great despising as the rebellious Muslim propagandists who haven’t been faced with the truth of their religion in the sight of Yahuah is wont to do. “He said, in Birmingham “Oh are the Christians here?” The despising element in the voice stirred the Spirit of Yahuah with in me and I thought to myself if these Muslims are coming I am not leaving. Now I reflect on it I was speaking in unity with the voice of the Church around the earth. If these Muslims , with these attitudes are spreading their poisoned waters around the earth, be assured the Church of the Lord Yeshua the Mashiach is not moving. They can bring the moveable gates of Hades against us and the Church will prevail and be built up on the foundation of Zion, the hill upon which Yeshua sits.
He then said to me when he saw my Bible “You know it’s a false book don’t you?” And suddenly 1400 years of historical and spiritual debate were set before me. Yes this was a discussion between one little Muslim propagandist taught by his messenger propaganda which has been handed down for 35 generations but he was faced with one Christian Messenger whose message stretched back 115 generations. Back to the time of Moses who came in the name of Yahuah and in truth back to perpetual generations and forward the same. As the prayer of Paul finishes in Ephesians three “To you be glory in the Church and in Mashiach Yeshua , through out all ages world with out end amen” So the two cultures began to clash on the streets of Birmingham as they had in the early days in Mount Zion in Jerusalem back in the 7th AD where the Patriarch of Jerusalem had said when Islam came in “The abomination that causes desolation is in place”. Here we were in Birmingham in the midst of Birmingham in the middle of a cosmic battle of the Saints of El Elyon against the forces of Anti Christ Islam.
I replied to him in my status as one sent by the Spirit to Birmingham for dialogue “ Pardon” as though the whole Christian Jewish world could believe the audacity of the spirit of Islam. He repeated “You know it’s a false book don’t you” I replied with politeness of the British culture I was brought up in as a man of the New Covenant “Excuse me, the reason you don’t understand the Bible is because it is a spiritual book” I then illustrated for him as the Church will do to the whole of Islam in the future, I said
“You dream don’t you’”
He answered “yes”
I went on “But you don’t understand 90 per cent of your dreams do you? He agreed.
I then said to him “What am I saying?” and went off speaking in tongues as the Church did on its birthday and sent out that sign for the unbelievers just one more time.
He said “I don’t know”
“That’s because that language is spiritual as well’ I responded.
And then I said to him as a representative of the whole antagonistic, son of Ishmael world (whose hand would be against everyone and who would have everyone hand against him).
“three spiritual things , The Bible, your dreams, and tongues and you don’t understand any of them”. His wife went into a beautiful smile and he started to sneak of to join him comrades in propaganda arms. I followed him and came face to face with some very anti Christ Muslims. We started discussing and Christians coming along the streets joined in. In the midst of all the Muslims shouting I flipped open my Bible at random as I am wont to do. I knew that Moab referred to a major principality of Islam from Psalm 83 and nowadays from Ezekiel 25. Ezekiel 25 teaches that Moab would be given as an inheritance to the men of the east. The men of the east are the sons of Ishmael who would live to the east of his brethren. And Psalm 83 talks about Ishmaelite Moab, setting themselves against the nation of Israel and trying to wipe them off the map. Finally the payer of the prophet Asaph in Psalm 83 is that the Islamic alliance it describes, headed up by Ammon and Moab the children of Lot, and all men “may know that thou, whose name alone is Yahuah, art the Most High over all the earth” (Read this in the King James it is one of the four place where Yahuah name is put in the text a IEHOVAH in the 1611 original edition) .
So I flipped open the Bible and it opened on a prophecy about Moab, so I just read it to them and as I read the whole group fell silent. They fell as silent as all Islam will when they realize the truth of their status in the eyes of Yahuah. They were merely Yahuah judgement on and apostate Christian Church and an apostate unrepentant world. When the Church fully returns Islam will be removed and all the Arab peoples and those who followed the lies of Islam, Hinduism. Buddhism etc will come to Zion and say “our fathers have inherited lies” As Jeremiah relates to us.
Yahuah charges Moab and Seir with saying “Behold the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen” That is they think Islam should rule over Israel like Yahuah has permitted it to rule over other parts of the world for a time.
Yes as I say the whole group fell silent as the whole earth will because Yahuah is in his temple as Habukuk relates and I read, and now I paraphrase the meaning
“Thus says Yahuah,
“I will send a fire upon Moab
and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth
and Moab Islam shall die with tumult
with shouting and with the sound of trumpet”
There goes the sound of judgment day again, the trumpet of the seventh month and its first day. Islam’s judgement day is coming as sure as Babylon's judgement day came, as sure as Nineveh’s judgement day came as sure as Moab’s judgement day came and will come. As sure as Yahuah was, is and is to come, the Almighty.
“And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof
and will slay all the princes ( In Hebrew “Shareiha”, note the similarity to sharia the Islamic law) thereof with him
saith Yahuah”
Islam is not a single headed beast. According to Psalm 83 it has 9 or 10 heads. Or nine or ten horns as its power base. In the midst of our discussion its Moabite protagonists fell silent when a Christian read prophecy. It is as the Church restores prophecy and prophesies over Islamic lands that the sound of the minaret will silence itself in our streets, as the Islamic Spirit is chased right out of town. At present it appears challenging, but nothing is challenging before the Elohim we serve. And as the cry of the minaret becomes silent it will be replaced firstly with the Eliyahwa cry “Yahuah hu ha Elohim Yahuah Hu ha Elohim” and then perhaps the songs of redemption in Exodus 15, Psalm 118 and Isaiah 12
“Behold El is my Yeshuah
I will trust and not be afraid
For Yah Yahuah is my strength and my song
He is also become to me Yeshuah
Therefore with joy shall you draw
out of the wells of Yeshuah
And in that day you shall say
Thanks to Yahuah
Call upon his NAME
Declare his doings among the people
Make mention that his NAME is exalted
Sing to Yahuah for he has done marvelous things
This is know in all the earth” Isaiah 12
Yah is my strength and song. This again is one of the four passages in the King James Bible where the name of Yahuah is put directly into the text. The god of Islam is not Yahuah and goes by a completely different name like all the strange elohim of the Bible days. We need to know this with certainty, otherwise will fall into the deception of the Islamic apostasy.
The words I read impacted on the most rebellious Muslims I had come across in all of England. And they came out of the city which was also the mastermind behind the establishment of the world religions curriculum in British schools instead of the mainly Christian based curriculum.
One rebellious young chap began saying that we Christians had made up the idea of being born again. He challenged me to show him where Yeshua said “You must be born again” Again there was quiet for a time as I read this scripture. The two keys two the overthrow of Islam are the Spirit and the Word. We must learn to prophesy with the spirit and to read the word with that same prophetic authority. We need to restore the spirit of prophecy to Mount Zion in Jerusalem and clear the holy mountain of the Islamic spirit. When Mount Zion is cleared of Yahuah will roar from Zion and all nations will hear it and come on bended knees before our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach declaring
Yah Yeshua hu ha Adonai Yahuah
Yahuah hu ha Elohim.
In Yahuah alone are righteousness and strength
The days draw nigh when the saints of El Elyon will see this with their own eyes that to the impact prophetic voice from Mount Zion.
I marked the day in the calendar saying to the servants of Islam to day is the beginning of the end of Islam in Birmingham. The end of Islam means the turning of millions of Muslims to salvation in our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach. The Islamic deception will be exposed for what it is and they will come to Zion saying “Our fathers have inherited lies”. Through the prophetic word we join Jeremiah in his prophetic role as outlined in Jeremiah the first chapter
“See I have this day set thee over the nations
and over the kingdoms
to root out, and to pull down
and to destroy and to throw down
and to build, and to plant”
All these authorities are in the hand of the Mashiach Yeshua and his saints who are his flesh and his bones and joint heir with him. We have this authority and even as Jeremiah did it by the prophetic word spoken and written so we too activate these authorities by the prophetic word spoken and written.
I left the field of ministry in the streets of Birmingham. I returned to Jeff’s house. As far as I know the evangelistic team had not been with me in the last hour or twos discussions. But as I left Jeff gave what seems to be referred to as a Pentecostal handshake. As we shook hands he gave me five pounds. Thus over the weekend Yahuah fulfilled his word to me from the first night, “The worker is worth his hire” with twelve pounds passing though my hands and a gift of a warm jacket. Yahuah is faithful praise his holy name.
The evening approached on the Shabbat and brother John and I left in his car. On the way we had a massive argument about his behaviour and finally reconciled. As the word says “Be angry but do not sin, do nor let the sun go down on your anger”. John had had a dream about Swansea and concluded that he needed to go there. He felt that it would be good if he invited me this time and that would make it different. I could not help but notice that Swansea was the neighbouring town to Llaneli the town where Horizons had it head quarters. Was this another divinely orchestrated plan or was I reading things into the situation,, this we were yet to discover.
The WAY to Swansea
Shabbat passed into Sunday 17th December 1995. As the day moved on two messages were received as from Yahuah. The first was that Yahuah loves the meek and humble hearted. How much we need to learn the importance of these qualities before Yahuah. It is Yah who is our strength not us. We can not over come the 10 headed beast of Islam nor the monster of secularism which is blinded in its right eye and which has a withered right hand. We are nothing if we are out side of Mashiach Yah Yeshua who strengthens us.
For a second time in the last three months during a service the Holy Spirit spoke to me saying “I am about to speak to you. It reminded of the first time back On October 15th 1995. However this time it was in Blackpool Christian fellowship and I wasn’t at the back on my knees in ecstasy. Immediately after the Spirit spoke those words in my heart a lady began to speak out a picture she had seen by the Spirit.
She poke of “a tree which on the outside looked like it was fruitless but on the inside it was full of life” This word was encouraging to me for I’m always a little concerned that I don’t see enough outward fruit in my evangelist adventures. Yes I can talk, debate, preach and speak the word in season and out of season, but the lack of fruit not only concerned me but convinced me that I was not an evangelist but a teacher. I always heard stories of amazing evangelistic exploits where dozens or hundreds of people were born again. Such a thing I never saw. Added to this my complete awareness of the fact that false prophets don’t so much produce bad fruit as no fruit. Thorns and briars, are they not in some sense fruitless? Well I’m not a botanist but I noticed that the gardener prophet Micah
“Woe is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits
as the grape gleanings of the vintage
there is no cluster to eat
my soul desired the first ripe fruit…
the best of them is as a brier
the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge”
Micah was hungry but not only have they collected the harvest already but the poor have already taken the gleanings. He can’t find one cluster of grapes to enjoy. He goes around among the leaders and they are prickly, thorny, even briery. Where there should be a branch bearing fruit instead he finds a thorn.
When I heard the ladies picture it encouraged me a little although the enemy still reminded me of Yeshua coming up to the fig tree which should had no fruit and decreeing its end. But I answered him with the principles of dealing with a new tree in the Torah:
And when ye shall come into the land
And shall have planted all manner of trees for food ,
Then you shall count their fruit as uncircumcised
Three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you
It shall not be eaten of
But the fourth year all the fruit thereof
Shall be holy to praise Yahuah withal
And in the fifth year shall ye eat the fruit thereof
That it may yield to you the increase thereof
I am Yahuah your Elohim”
Well I had the assurance of the Spirit that I would bear fruit if I remained faithful in speaking the word so I trusted and trust his word.
The days passed and we reached Tuesday 20th December 1995.
Brother John the fruitful evangelist and I discussed the possibilities of going to Swansea. After much discussion we settled on Boxing Day December 26th 1995 as probably being the most practical day looking at our schedules. We decided to go before New years but after the celebration of Yeshua’s birth.
That evening as entered my room I passed by the bookshelves to see if there were any interesting books. I saw one on intercession which appeared interesting called “Intercession” and was about a man called Rees Howells who I was not overly aquainted with. And another book by a certain Pentecostal minister, W Hacking, about Smith Wigglesworth. Just about every Pentecostal must have heard the name Wigglesworth since he raised a good number of people from the dead. But Rees was not so well known and I don’t know what drew to those books that night, but like the Chronicles of king Ahaseurus the Mede, these books contained a message which spoke directly into my situation. They pointed me to the next part of the way of my trip as my dream of December 11th 1995 which you have already read had promised.
I took the books into my room, prayed my nightly prayer as recorded in the first part of this book and went to sleep.
I awoke alive and well thanks be to Yahuah on Wednesday 20th December. I prayed my morning prayer and I decided to read a little from the books. I just decided to open them at random and read it being very unlikely for me to read more than a small portion of each book. I first gave my attention to “Intercession”:
“I first came to the Bible College of Wales, Swansea, …
I can still see Rees Howells on that Boxing Day morning December 26th 1934: as he came into the old lecture hall at 9 am , fresh from hours spent with Yahuah, who had faced him with the challenge of believing that the gospel could be given to “every creature in accordance with the last command of the Lord Yeshua the Mashiach to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every creature.”
You can imagine the impression the words Boxing Day and Swansea had had on me. John and I had just had a big discussion on those two things the previous day and here was a book I had picked at random and a page I had opened at random talking the very next morning on the same subject. I even think to this day. How did Yahuah do that? Does it mean that our lives a planned to the very sentence of the page of the book we are reading. Does it be that it is the case only for the elected who are predestined to be conformed to the image of his son? Or is this amazing blessing for everyone. I was beginning to believer I had to go to Swansea and it was something to do with the Bible College of Wales and the spreading of the gospel.
I never knew Rees Howells was based in Wales, never mind in Swansea the city we had planned to visit the day before.
I then turned to the other book I had picked up by Brother Hacking. Again I opened at random to taste of what Yahuah might teach me. To my great amazement I opened to a letter written by Smith Wigglesworth to his fellow minister Mr Hacking. It read something like this:
“Brother Hacking
Take a look at this report on how this man Rees Howells prayed in 100,000 pounds. It doesn’t seem to be my line of faith but it will build your faith.”
What amazing plots was my Lord arranging so as to guide me to the most intricate details. Two witnesses in one morning of Rees Howells. Both books opened at random and a big discussion the previous days. Was this not in the order of Samuel telling Saul what was going to happen to him? But still the questions cried out for answering. What would be the statistics of this happening by chance? And how did Yahuah do that?
It meant the Spirit of Yahuah in me, knew every word in each of those books. He knew how to have me be drawn to them the evening of the day we spoke about Swansea and Boxing day. He set it all going by giving s dream to another member of his body John not me, and then he quite spontaneously decided to invite me on his trip. But now after the two book witnesses I considered my self divinely invited and very excited. What did Swansea hold in store?
With my present financial situation and my feeling that Yahuah had indicated that he wanted me not to get secular employment but to believe these connecting messages caught my attention. And as I did with Birmingham I began to believe that Yahuah was sending me to Swansea. I mean what would you believe, it was all by chance?
I related to John my testimony of Yahuah guidance and he was very cynical. He probably didn’t believe about the Birmingham thing and now here I was again Mr “Lets be spiritual about the book we read this morning and the page we turned to” spouting off like I had some hotline to Elohim. But what could I do, this is what I understood Yahuah was saying. I did not make it. John dismissed it and said I was lucky it never said go to Africa in the book, what would I have done then? He did not believe a word of it.
I also had opposition from the people I was living with. They were convinced that I needed to go and find secular work and they were speaking against the words I had heard from Yahuah. They had even gossiped about me in the Blackpool Christian Fellowship and I received a number of cynical comments and challenges to my position, from people who were almost total strangers.
Doubting the Way
The opposition to my position arose among the believers around me and those who they had spoken to. I then began to waver and my faith and the path of Abram the father of the faithful, I began to leave. Who , after all was I too be right when all around me said “It is not so”. Then the accusations came “You are under a spirit of deception” And the joke flowed also “He’s like the scarlet pimpernel, here one day gone the next. Yes doubt came in and the enemy began to have a field day around me. I began to doubt the words and my interpretation of them. The people I was living argued that Yahuah doesn’t work miraculously like I was believing and with my doubting came a dream.
“Everything was dark and I heard a voice whisper and echo in the darkness “Do as they say”. I saw a Ten pound note nailed to a jet black wall. I immediately thought “Oh I better leave Brain ten pound when I go away” So I knew the voice was referring to Brian and friends. Then I went down into darkness and ended up sitting in a chair, in what looked like a sort of back room of a Macdonald's store.
An Indian man came around the back and said something about him not trying for management either. Then my seat span around and faced out the front of the store having moved forwards and there was a whole Macdonald's store functioning. I looked down on myself in the chair and I started to take off the clothes I was in. There were some clothes underneath. Then some grotesque images appeared around about. My chair suddenly span around and I was the manager of the store. I heard the sound of music going on in the back ground.
Suddenly the scene changed and I was with some people. I saw a grotesque image in a window or a mirror. There were other people in the room but I was the only one who could see it. I told the people to bind it up with me, but it just smiled. It only disappeared when I walked towards it.”
Thursday passed into Friday and I have returned from Blackpool to my house in Doncaster. I was reflecting on the dreams I had had the day before and was feeling a little oppressed. I took the Bible and prayed Yahuah I know I’m not particularly in the Spirit, but please speak to me”
I was considering whether these grotesque dreams about secular work could be right. I flicked open the bible and my eyes dropped on the following passage:
““Do not listen to the prophets who prophesy to you in my name
nor listen to the dreams you cause to be dreamed,
for they prophesy to you lies in my name
I have not sent them” says Yahuah”
I remember Brian used to get upset with me because Yahuah kept sending me here, there and everywhere. He used to say that he was a prophet and he had only heard Yahuah speak twice. During this period I did not keep my journal so faithfully. Perhaps I wasn’t hearing anything but between the 23rd December 1995 to Tuesday 2nd January 1996 after the boxing day trip never happened. You may ask why didn’t it happen? There were three major reasons. Yahuah is in control of everything so clearly he decreed that it would not happen. But under that John was cynical about my spiritual experiences and he was the driver. He was supposed to call about the trip but just left a message saying he couldn’t go. I believed at the time it was his way of proving me wrong. Who knows what motivates our actions sometimes?
Two Witnesses that Elohim hears and answers Prayer
After boxing day came and went I was sitting in the guest house and I felt some spiritual pressure on me. I had already resolved that the trip was out of my control and in the hands of Yahuah. If it didn’t happen it is not my business even as it is not my business to make it happen. I couldn’t any way because I was out of work and had no viable source of income to pay for me to get to Swansea across the whole of England and out the other side. But on this day I felt this pressure on my head. So I prayed to Yahuah and said
“Yahuah, I’m more than willing to go to Swansea
but John’s going to have to ring to confirm it”
Half an hour later John rang saying “I get the feeling I’m in the middle of one of your fleeces. Why did you want me to ring?”
I told him it was to confirm that we have to go to Swansea. He was still not convinced that we had to go to Swansea. So I asked Yahuah to confirm a second time beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were supposed to go to Swansea.
John was on his way over to my place and while I was waiting for him the phone rang. It was my witnessing friend Enricho who was calling me from London. He rang at &:30pm and asked me if I’d sorted my driving license out. I answered “No”. And he said
“Go to Swansea and get it” as he said that the bell rang and it was brother John. I asked Ricco to hold on. I went to the door and got John in. I then told Ricco in front of John, with out mentioning Swansea, to tell John what he had just told me”
He told him and John was now convinced that I had to go to Swansea. But he still refused to got himself and as if to confirm his rebellion he had a sleepless night and so really missed it. He was determined not to go and no doubt had some very good reasons. So I made my declaration at this point “The moment Yahuah gives me some money I am going to Swansea”.
And it came to pass that on January 7th AD 1996 that ‘I was in Manchester with Michael, Sarah, John and friends. I said to them that I was unsure as to where I should live. I displayed great confusion and for reason of the display they were willing to advise me. I told them about the situation in at Maranatha. They then started indicating that they would find me a cheap place in Manchester . I felt that they would not listen to me fully.”
After the dream I listened carefully for the voice of the Spirit. He said something of the order “Yahuah made it quite clear I was to be based in Blackpool at present and had indicated Manchester for the college. It was clear at that time that Blackpool was where I was to stay. In those days I was in the habit of listening for the Spirits voice at the end of dreams. In that particular instant the Spirit spoke clearly and at length. In fact he spoke for so long I was not sure it was Him and did not record his words. But the conclusion was clear for the present I had to stay where I was.
And it came to pass that on Wednesday 10th January AD 1996 the word of Yahuah came to Pastor George by the Spirit. He spoke to me saying Yahuah said
“ I will perfect that that which has been started concerning you”
And on the same day the word of Yahuah came to Evangelist Albert saying
“I have anointed you. I will make you great. You will speak my words from in your heart. Listen to my words which I put in your heart. Listen to your heart”
I was quite amazed with this last word by the Spirit as Albert was not well acquainted with me and this word confirmed that indeed it was the voice of Yahuah by his Spirit which I was hearing in those days and if a dream came from the enemy to muddy the path the direct voice the Spirit, through the Words or in my heart would correct me.
And it came to pass that on January 10th 1996 I was in the spirit. And I found myself in the midst of a crowd of people at a Christian event. There in the midst of the event there was a girl who had beads in her hair and may have looked Ethiopian. Many people were trying to talk with her. She spoke with me and told me she had split with her boyfriend. She asked me what I felt about the person who wrote an article saying the rapture was going to occur in September, I think a year later. I replied “Wait until October and you will see. He will either lose his followers or something else would happen for he will still be here. She thereupon opened the magazine and showed me the article.”
After the dream I thought about Arch Prince Michael and all angels day being the end of September, I think the 29th of September.
Then came a realisation that the last trumpet shall be sounded by the Archangel and I remembered how Daniel connected Michael would with the resurrection of the dead. I then realised there was a parallel between the annunciation and birth of Mashiach in the gospel of Luke and the fact that a whole host of angels came to make this annunciation and perhaps that would happen too at the time of the second coming or resurrection. How that on the first visitation he was a born as a sign wrapped in swaddling clothes. Then came to me a thought of checking when Rosh Hashana would be in that year and a connected thought about Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement and the day when all the tribes of the earth would mourn. Then the great celebration of the feast of tabernacles and why? Because of the repentances and reconciliations that took place over the 10 days of reparation or awe or penitence?
And it came to pass that on Thursday 11th January AD1996 that I was “in a school with many teachers. One teacher chose the main reading book. It was off a reading list and was the one piece of secular literature on a reading list of religious literature. I met her late at night and she gave me the book called JNLS.
I moved to a café, music club or bar. I decided to leave before the bands started to play officially to save me paying for or listening to the music. I got up and left. The people in the bar didn’t want me to leave without paying so I as I left they followed me. A number of tough guys with baseball bats started following me. I managed to escape their view for a few minutes. I found my self at a roundabout in London perhaps. I saw a red double decker bus park up near to me. I ran up to the bus and got on and it took off. I am sitting on the bus and then I notice that a few young searchers are there. I had my green and black sports top on. These young men came downstairs on the bus and I heard them so I ducked down on the bus seat and lay down. They walked along the bus and saw me. One of the seems to know me and said they should leave me. They seemed about to argue.” And I awoke from my dream and was safe.
Later on during the day I was in Evangelist Daniel and Efferma from Africa. It was here that I finally understood that Yahuah was calling me into the ministry (avodah) full time. Daniel then explained that those who preach the gospel were ordained to live by the gospel:
“Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things
live of the things of the temple?
And they which wait at the altar are partakers
With the altar?
Even so hath Yahuah ordained
that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel”
Suddenly I understood what Yahuah was saying about my work. It was to preach and live of the gospel.
The Way to Swansea financed
You will recall that I said earlier in January that as soon as Yahuah gave me some money I would go to Swansea. Well it happened that Brother John organised a 2 week English language course for some Christian Korean students. As the days approached for the school to take place John found himself short of one teacher. It was this shortage which Yahuah organised, that Yahuah used to finance my trip to Swansea. The school started on the 10the January AD1996 and this was why I was staying at Daniel and Efferma’s house. John rang me and asked me if I could help him and I said yes. On the Friday I was given a gratuity for my help. I then stood there with I think about 150 pounds in my hands, more than I had seen for a long time. I said to Yahuah “ shouldn’t I use this for debt not to go to Swansea. I opened my Bible for the response and Yahuah gave me a passage in Numbers. Number 32:20-24
“And Moses said unto them
If you will do this thing,
If ye will go armed before Yahuah to war
And will go all of you
Armed over Jordan before Yahuah
Until he hath driven out his enemies
From before him
And the land be subdued before Yahuah
Then afterward ye shall return guiltless
Before Yahuah, and before Israel
And this land shall be your possession
But if ye will not do so
Behold you have sinned against Yahuah
And be sure your sins will find you out.
Build you cities for your little ones
And folds for your sheep
And do that which proceeded
Out of your mouth”
The line which struck me most was the last line. Do that which proceeded out of you mouth. In fact it was in another translation I read it and that said “Do as you have promised”. I summarised the message in my journal of the time
“If you do this (spend the money on debt)
you will be sinning against Yahuah…
be sure your sin will find you out…
Do as you have promised”
On this night of challenge for we all know that the “wicked borroweth and does not repay” I was receiving opposition from the people in the house which Yahuah had placed me in Blackpool. Shirley and Faye prayed for me and gave me Psalm 38
“O Yahuah, rebuke me not in thy wrath
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure
For thine arrows stick fast in me
And thy hand presseth me sore…
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head
As a heavy burden thy are too heavy for me…
For I will declare mine iniquity
I will be sorry for my sin
But mine enemies are lively
And they are strong
And they that hate me wrongfully
Are multiplied
They also render that evil for good
Are mine adversaries
Because I follow that thing that good is
Forsake me not O Yahuah
O my Elohim be not far from me
Make haste to help me
O Lord my salvation”
They advised me to go to Swansea and when would return I would know what to do.
First days in Swansea
I had to leave go to Swansea by train because there was not enough time to go by the cheaper coach. I arrived on Saturday night and I stayed with a missionary friend of Brother John who lived on George Street. She recommended me to go an have a look at the Bible College and said that I would probably find that they would invite me to stay over night at some point. I awoke on Sunday morning and felt lead to go to the Elim Pentecostal Church. There they had a wonderful message.
“It was freedom Mashiach has set you free”.
I had visited the Bible College the night before. Mr Mayton, the godly principal had sent me to see a couple who were working among Muslims because I had explained to him my understanding that I had a call to the Muslim world. I arrived at their door and explained how I had come to be there. They told me they were busy right then but that I could return a little later. Well I returned and the indicated in no uncertain times that they really had no interest in connecting with me whatsoever and indeed did not seem to like me at all. So I said to them I felt I was going to make some divine connection in Swansea to do with Muslims, but in coming to their door I must have been mistaken. I left that night and returned the next day for lunch for Mr Mayton had invited me. He in his desire to give me connections ha sat me next to these two, who treated me as coldly as ever an ice block could.
The previous night I had thought about the college and I was not impressed. I arrived in winter and the weather was wet and cold. So I did not see the college in its spring time beauty but in the winter coldness. But then I dreamt that night about the fact that buildings do not last forever, souls do. So I was encouraged through the dream to take my eyes off the materials things and to consider the importance of saving souls. Now here I was with Mr and Mrs. Ice Block a certain Dave and Lily. Then Mr Mayton had kindly connected with Brother from Zimbabwe called Billy Makumbo. Billy later became a very good friend. However he was very quiet and the last thing I needed at that time of searching and loneliness in a strange town was a guy which I found it difficult to make conversation with.
We finished lunch and Billy invited me to drink coffee in his room. But I was desperately empty and I felt like I was dying. So I said to Billy I would first visit my room and then I would follow to his room. I felt like I had to go back to my room just to recuperate. I was weak. On the way back to my room I cried out to Yahuah. Why did you send me here? I trust you Yahuah because I know you lead me here but why?
I gathered my energy together and finally got the courage to go and face Billy. I arrived to his place and there was an English chap called Simon L. Well he could converse and I started to feel a lot more comfortable. However at this point I made a big blunder. I said to them, “Do you guys listen to Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin?” I was really excited about what Yahuah had taught me through these men of Elohim. But little did I know haw fast news travels and how much some of the students had the college were against the faith message. I was to discover it soon enough. Any way Simon said the school liked people to come with no more for then they could learn to pray for their financial needs. It was at this point I began to get an inclination of what I was doing in the place. For if one thing was certain it was the fact that I had no money to pay for college fees. Added to the fact that it was mid term all made it pretty unlikely that I was joining the college, but Yahuah had different plans.
After an apparently pleasant chat with Simon of England and Billy of Zimbabwe I met Mervyn a lecturer at the college. He took me around the college and showed me the grounds and places. It was while I was talking to him that I realised Yahuah was sending to that college. I had come to the town, thinking Yahuah was going to connected me with ex Muslims. When I got there I had heard from somewhere that Swansea had a high number of ex Muslims one of the highest in Britain. So I thought to connect with these was a major reason for Yahuah sending me. There was one particular person who I had heard about, whose name was Ahmed. But in my two days I met no one. Now I was clear on one thing Yahuah was sending me to the college.
I went to talk to Mr Mayton and told him my feelings. However he being a wise man of Elohim said we would stay in contact and pray about it. For I had some issues to deal with like my debt and I was going through a final ending of my relationship with my friend.
I left Mr Mayton and went down to central Swansea. I had finally managed to locate Ahmed. I called him and we arranged to meet in Swansea center before I headed off to Manchester for another weeks teaching. When I met him I was amazed to find that he was a financial consultant and a debt reduction expert. He knew how to deal with debt so that you could walk in obedience to the law in dealing with your creditors. Since I was not free to go and work for Yahuah had shown me in the dream I would be destroyed in that path I either needed a miracle or a divine connection with a debt reduction expert. The key thing to do with debt problems, counseled Ahmed, was not to hide anything in your situation from your Creditors. You needed to be honest with them about your financial means and your assets and liabilities. So I wrote a letter to all my creditors telling them exactly what was happening to me, about the dreams and the visions and my whole financial situation. The bulk of my debt was my mortgage and this was resolved when the building society who gave me the mortgage accepted the house back in settlement of the debt. They could have asked for any shortfall in payment after they received the house, but they just asked for the house, which I was more than willing to give them. Other debts were cancelled like another lender who sent me a letter telling me my account with their institution was now closed thank you for using our institution. These debt reductions did not happen over night, but over a period of about a year. I felt bad when I received the debt cancellation, but I accepted it as my seventh year debt reduction. We know that every seven years all the debts, in the community of Israel had to be cancelled by their creditors.
“At the end of every seven years
thou shalt make a release
And this is the manner of the release
Every creditor that lendeth aught
Unto his neighbour shall release it
He shall not exact it of his neighbour
Or of his brother
Because it is called Yahuah’s release”
When I set out on the way of this trip I had no idea what means or miracle Yahuah was going to use to release the debt, but it was clear I had to obey Yahuah’s voice and it was this which led to the debt settlement and the debt cancellation. It was awkward for me to receive the debt cancellations because I had always works and paid my debts in the past. But now I was following the voice and wisdom of the Master of the Jubilee and the Master of the cancellation or release of debts. Yes the devil had deceived me and cause me to run up debts in a one year period, but Yahuah destroyed the devils scheme and I was freed legally from all debt. Blessed be the name of Yahuah and may all who read understand. The proverb which shows me what I would be if were not for the grace of Elohim “the wicked borroweth and does not repay” was written in the context of the Torah instruction
“Every creditor that lendeth aught to his neighbour
shall not exact it”.
As you know from above I was being weaned of bank accounts from February 1995, and Yahuah kept that process going. It is very rare that I use a bank account, for I have so little money at any one time that it would be eaten up with bank charges and interest in a two month period. This is I trust a temporary situation.
And it came to pass that I returned from Swansea to Blackpool. I was now aware that Yahuah was sending me to Swansea Bible College. Wow! Why had Yahuah moved so marvelously in my failed situation? We fail Yahuah saves us and why? Because we are called according to his purpose. ‘All things work together for them who are loving Elohim”. But still how and when I was going to get there was mystery to me. As I came in to Blackpool I realised this so I prayed to Yahuah saying “Yahuah I understand that you are calling me to Swansea but when?
As we enter Blackpool trained I felt what I describe as the Spirit of Yahuah coming upon me. He came on my head and was like a weight on my head and forehead or covering. That night I was in the Spirit and I found my self in a room with Christians praising Yahuah. Suddenly men with Nazi flags marched into the room from the left corner and blocked off all exits. I shouted “Oh No!” And I ran at one of them and shouted “In the name of Yeshua I bind you” Suddenly what was like a transparent drop of water lifted me up and put me around past the Nazis outside of the room. Then I voice said “flee for your life”. After the dream I listen for the voice of the Spirit. He told me to leave and not to return. I felt like a veritable Lot. I wondered if lot had any creditors in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah to whom he owed money or sheep? I wonder if Noah had any creditors in the earth in his day or if the Jerusalem Church had any when Jerusalem was being surrounded by armies. I guess judgement day like war changes a few things.
Leave and do not come back echoed in my ears.
That Monday morning 15th January 1995, I packed my bags and was ready to leave. I told then Yahuah had told me to leave. One of the guys there, who had earlier been violent with me, but had apologised later, said he had a vision of me. They did not want me to leave and so he related the vision. He saw that if I went over a bridge I was on I would be destroyed. All I could here was the decree for Lot, flee for your life. This was as clear an answer I could have got to the question I understand I am called to Swansea but when? I left that morning to go and teach the week in Manchester. I was on the move again. I taught that week those wonderful Christian Korean students. The next weekend I returned to Blackpool with John because I had some things left to sort out. I was on the Monday evening in Johns house sleeping on the couch, for I dared not go back to where I was living before and sleep. All the lights were off and I was sleeping. Suddenly something hit me. I felt like I couldn’t open my eyes. I must of felt perhaps a little like Adam when the deep sleep hit him or Abraham when the covenant of the pieces was made, except there no pieces and no torch, just the deep darkness. The Holy Spirit said “It is my power” To my fearful heart crying out What’s this?
I felt lead to read the 12 dreams, which I had written back in February 1995 and Yahuah said in my Spirit “ Go to Swansea”.
“Go to Swansea”
After my strange night with the anointing of power and the reading of the dreams and the instruction “Go to Swansea” I awoke. I wondered how I was to approach the relationship with the college for Mr Mayton had not flung all the doors open and said come on in. The instruction I receive the previous week was flee for your life, So I had left A. But when was I suppose to go to B. And what if Mr Mayton said No, I told you we’ll stay in contact you are not yet ready to enter the college. Besides we are only half way through the term? With all these issues vying for first place in my mind, it was no wonder I needed the power of the Spirit to come upon me to get me there. While I was in the midst of my pondering the Spirit spoke again saying “Move to Swansea I will do the rest” Seven sweet and confidence building words. I had my job, obey the voice of Yahuah, and he would do everything else, praise his holy name. I then upped and left Blackpool for Swansea that morning and another chapter was over and another chapter began. The question was in my mind, in my Abraham call was I in Haran or the Promised land? Did this now fulfil the getting out of your country element of the call.
The Way to Swansea Bible College
And it came to pass that I arrived in Swansea on Tuesday January 22nd 1996. From the train station I called to Mr Mayton and asked if I could have another look. What else could I do he had said we would stay in contact not that I could move in one week later. I had enough experience of following the voice of Yahuah by this point to know that when he said “Move to Swansea I will do the rest” he meant it. Mr Mayton said it would be ok if I came and had another look. I then asked if I could come that same Tuesday, because there I was in the train station of Swansea with no where to stay. He was not aware of this and said No I should come on Thursday. We agreed for Thursday.
I left the phone and pondered my options. I remembered that Horizons mission organisation was just outside of Swansea. I had visited there back in 1985 with my university mission team.
I knew also that they had outreach to the Wild Ass world so I rang to see if they had anything going on. It happened that they were in the middle of a month of prayer for the Muslim world. It was designed to coincide with the fast of Ramadan. I obtained permission to join them for a couple of day. I bought a King James Bible for 99 pence and headed over to Llaneli.
While at Llaneli I decided to join in all the prayer meetings. In one prayer meeting, a small one in the morning I shared with them about a prophecy by Ulf Eckman which he made in Kensington Temple in 1993 about the fact the Muslims would pop up in very influential places in three years time to the surprise of European leaders. I do not remember the exact details. But the leaders like what I had to say. We were praying also about where to place prayer watchtowers around Europe to pray for the Muslims. I suggested that we could put them in the places where Christianity had entered Europe, based I believe on the passage which some one had shred. The passage was Jeremiah telling ask to stand at the parting of the ways and ask for the ancient paths wherein is the good way. From this scriptural idea I made the suggestion to set prayer watchtowers around Europe on these paths. Again they liked the idea. I was then asked to share in a large prayer meeting my ideas on Christianity’s entrance to Europe. Suddenly I found myself in this position of sharing with this whole group I was only visiting for a couple of days. I did some study for my talking and was referred to the Macedonian call of Paul as a beginning of the gospels entrance to Europe and so ran with that.
Something strange happened in one of the meetings. Some people walked in with blue white and red flags just like the Nazi ones I had seen in the dream. They did not have the Nazi sign on but the scene reminded me of the dream. I realised I was in Yahuah alternative path to destruction. This parallel life idea had already appeared to me once in Swansea. That one was just as concrete. In that case it was to do with George Street. I arrived in Swansea and stayed with a missionary in George Street. The parallel had to do with trouble. Whilst teaching in one school I had had a strange dream where peoples faces had turned all hazy and I had left behind the people I knew. I was transported to a place where there was a certain George Street. On this George Street I noticed very clearly a green pub. I would recognize the scene if I ever saw it. And for more than a year I was fearing that George Street, for according to that dream my life would enter a lot of trouble after seeing it. To my horror I saw that same green pub and the George Street in Blackpool. I was not happy. But when I entered the George Street in Swansea I saw it as the George of Blessing thanks to the blessing of Yahuah. Let us return to the prayer conference
I shared with the group about Paul’s call to Macedonia and one person challenged the mythology of this being the entrance of the gospel to Europe. He pointed out that there was already a Church in Rome. Suddenly I was a center of controversy, or at least what I had said. I started to wonder why is there controversy around me every where I go? A seasoned missionary stood up to defend the view of the Macedonian call of Paul being a decisive calling by Yahuah to take the gospel into Europe. I pondered these things especially as I had only really studied it that morning but the criticism was legitimate, although I had only been laboring under the myth for one morning since I read whatever book it was I read.
Thursday 24th January 1996 came and it was time to go. I left five pounds for the hospitality and headed to the train station. I took a train to Swansea and walked to the bus station. I then took a bus to Derwen Fawr road Sketty Swansea where the college is based. Finally I arrived to the college with 1 pence. I had not budgeted nor did I know the bus fares or train fares before hand, but I arrived with 1 pence.
Beginnings in Swansea Bible College
Mr Mayton gave me a wonderful welcome to the college and set me up in the room of my abiding. He suggested after a little while that I pray for 100 pounds just as a small sign that Yahuah wanted me in the college. The 100 pounds came within one week and on February 1st 1996 I made my first payment to the college. I discovered very early in college days that not every one was as compassionate and loving as Mr Mayton. There were some specific Simons who were completely against the faith message and my teachers in faith, Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin. I thought these men were working of their own volition, but discovered later that the couple who had been so unwelcoming at the beginning, a certain Dave and his wife were fighting an anti me battle through one Simon, who was a fiery Scotsman with a lot of passion. We had many altercations and controversies but we finally grew together and not apart. On my first visit to the library a number of students were there. This particular Simon was sitting there. As I entered I felt the greatness of the tension. Simon started saying, completely unprovoked, about ‘people who hold doctrines which were a stench in the nostrils” of his Elohim. I can’t help but smile now. Now I’ve argued with Muslims, Socialists and Christian Atheists so I would happily go hammer and tongs with a fiery Scotsman. But would it bring glory to Yahuah? And add to that the fact that I was new, a walk in the door today, freshman, as the Americans might say. How can I argue in my first few days? So I held my peace. The Spirit said to me “Leave it to me” So I resisted the urge and left it. Simon and I had many altercation as the months passed. But one day he asked me to come into his room and talk. I went in. He said “It’s obvious that we don’t like each other, but we have to get on because we’re brothers”. Then he said the most amazing thing. Every time he went to pray he could not get through to Yahuah, for Yahuah kept saying to him “How can you love me if you hate your brother”. The Holy Spirit who lived in both of us and promised he would deal with the situation, did, Hallelu Yah. We improved in our relationship after that chat. Now let us return to Thursday February 1st.
The Great Culmination of Yahuah’s Way. The Way to the Future
On this day of the testimony of five witnesses, I was settled in the college having received the sign money which Mr Mayton had told me to pray for the previous week. Many of the weavings of the beautiful tapestry of life Yahuah was making tied themselves together. Now after I entered the college I was still pondering about the Macedonian call and why Yahuah and brought it across my path so strongly. The messages in the college were also on the theme of the Macedonian call. I then came across a book called ‘The Challenge of the Macedonian Call” I took it off the shelf and carried it around for days without reading it, but knowing it had some significance. Then its significance became clear on that first day of February. So I guess you wonder what happened?
In the evening we all went over to listen to a speaker who was a minister from “Frontiers” a mission organization devoted solely to take the gospel to the world of Melekh Assur. The missionary’s name was Martin. He began to teach from Genesis 12:1-3
“Get thee out from thy country
And from thy kindred
And from thy fathers house
To a land that I will shew thee
And I will make of thee
A great nation
and I will bless thee and make thy name great
and Thou shalt be a blessing.
I will bless them that bless thee
And him that curseth thee I will curse”
Every one in the college knew my testimony, for at the time I was so excited by all that Yahuah was doing that I was telling the story to everyone. Every one knew I was called to servants of the Melekh Assur, and every one knew that I was called on Genesis 12:1-3, Abram’s call. Martin was also speaking on Genesis 10 the table of the nations. This lists the seventy seed nations who fill the whole earth. So I was excited to listen and see what Martin had to say. He spoke and at the end of his message he gave a word of knowledge. He said there was one particular young man sat on his left whom Yahuah wanted to speak to. I checked my position and noted that I was sat on his left. I perceived that he was referring to me, having had three witnesses, the word, the word of knowledge and the goal of Frontiers, I went up to him at the end to speak. I said to him something like this, “ I know you spoke on my badge Genesis 12:1-3. And I know you are called to the servants of Al-Ilu (The long form of the name of the god of the 10 headed dragon beast of Melekh Assur) and I know you had a word of knowledge. Was that a word of knowledge? (I said this because I had arrived at the college and it was apparent that the Bible College was in its meetings, Evangelical and lovers of the Holy Spirit but not openly Charismatic, but as you can see it accepted people from all denominations as students. And invited a wide variety of people with missionary testimonies). He replied it was a word of knowledge. I then told him that Yahuah kept talking to me about “The Macedonian Call of Paul” He replied to me “Maybe Yahuah is giving you a Macedonian Call? I asked what does that mean? He said that when he became a missionary Yahuah had said to him that he was giving him a Macedonian Call and that his friend had felt to call him and said to him, Martin I don’t what this means but Yahuah says Macedonian Call. I was so excited that I ran to my bag and picked out the book I was carrying it was called “The Challenge of the Macedonian Call” And to wrap it all off I noticed that he leaflet of Frontiers whom Martin was working with, was called “The Challenge”.
How Yahuah brought all that together I did not know but I was excited and will never forget this testimony I am sure, all the days of my life.
Well I went to sleep knowing I was in the right place and on the right way. The next morning I went to Martin and asked him what Yahuah had actually said. I am very careful in my dealing with words of Yahuah by the spirit through his servants to get the exact wording. Why? Because it is dead important to distinguish what Yahuah himself said, from what the person who carried the message interpreted him to have said. We can easily miss interpret Yahuah’s message and this can lead to errors in transmission of the message and the wrong message getting out. Martin said Yahuah wanted to show the young man something. On this day Friday February 2nd 1996 Martin began to tell us about the Nuristani a people who were forcibly converted to follow Melekh Assur in the 19th century. They lived in the North East of Afghanistan and were in the Hindu Kush mountains in and area near Chitral on the border with China. After those two days Afghanistan became the subject of my interest. That being the case I remembered I had a dream a number of years previously where I was running down a road called Bromley Road in Catford, South East London. There was a guerilla warfare going on and I was hiding from the Mujahideen. I ran into a church called Saint Lawrences and was hiding there. This dream was strange to me at the time. But now maybe it was coming into a context of my call.
This message of Martin brought a chapter in my life to an end.
And how could I summarise this life. A life of great sin, as high as the heavens and yet a life where greater grace was displayed. Where sin abounds grace abounds all the more. Illustrated best by King Manneseh son of Hezekiah. He is message to the Church today who is being raped and pillaged by Melekh Assur. It is a message also to Judah today, who as the nation of Israel are surrounded by the hostile nations of the 10 headed dragon of Melekh Assur and her children. All this because of our many sins committed against the two greatest commandments. “Shma Israel Yahuah Eloheinu Yahuah Echad” You shall love Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart soul and strength”. Now this is the greatest commandment in the Torah. We have 16 million know sons of Judah on earth today. And we have so many million orthodox sons of Judah. And how many of them would be willing to say the Shema with the real name of Elohim in it. You will be lucky if you find one. The situation is serious and the wound apparently incurable. But Yahuah has a cure. And he will bring it to bear on willing Judah and Israel. We have forgotten the name of Yahuah. We do not listen to his voice. We have substituted man made commandments for the living voice of Yahuah. We fight one another and worship that most alluring power Mammon, as a result Melekh Assur has grown in influence and has managed to deceive much of the blind and mammon worshipping descendants of the Early Church into believing Melekh Assur or Al Ilu are the same being as Yahuah. What blasphemy! We need like humbled Manasseh and Zealous Josiah to remove all traces of the worship of Melekh Assur from our houses. The book of Melekh Assur is called “The Recitation” and it is one of their main idols (along with the comment they bow to every day). It should not be placed below anything else in a room and in Pakistan they will kill you for speaking bad about it. These are all things they will do to some one who touches this material book made of a covers and so many pages. This is an object of worship the Church can not receive. We need to remove such books from all Churches all Christian homes as Yahuah says “Do not bring them into your house lest you become accursed like it” All idols material and spiritual must be removed from the house of the living Elohim. We are commanded not to worship the host of heaven and yet Melekh Assur bow to a comet every day, fives times a day. If you are not allowed to prostrate to the comet while it is in the heavens, how much lest would you bow to that dusty stone when its buried in the dust of the earth. The people of Melekh Assur bow to that dead stone, made of dust which is the serpents food.
Yahuah alone must sit on the throne and we will not give his glory to another (name or being) nor his praise to graven images. Despite the depth of our deception and sin Yahuah is willing to forgive us. And on the great and holy day of Yom Kippur, indeed this day of Yom Kippur the Tenth of Tishrei 6001/2 Yahuah is willing to effect an Atonement on our behalf in the name of Yeshua the Nazarene our redeemer. Let us look at the story of Manasseh for it reflects our situation today and it is only because of the great mercy of Yahuah that I was not destroyed for my sins, this story is the story for Israel for the year 6001, if the leaders will hear so Yahuah will deliver.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign.
And he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem
But did what was evil in the sight of Yahuah
Like unto the abominations of the heathen
Whom Yahuah had cast out of before the children of Israel
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah
His father had broken down
And he reared up altars for Baalim (Masters of Buddhism, meditation, names and books)
And made groves
And worshipped all the host of heaven (Astrology?)
And served them
Also he built altars in the house of Yahuah
Whereof Yahuah had said
In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever
And he built altars for all the host of heaven
In the two courts of the house of Yahuah ( We have the moon gods)
And he caused his children to pass through the fire
In the valley of the son of Hinnom
Also he observed times
And used enchantments, and used witchcraft
And dealt with a familiar spirit
and with wizards
He wrought much evil in the sight of Yahuah
To provoke him to anger
And he set a carved image
The idol which he had made
In the house of Elohim
Of which Elohim had said to David
And to Solomon his son
In this house and in Jerusalem
Which I have chosen before the tribes of Israel
Will I put my name
Neither will I any more
remove the foot of Israel
from out of the land which I have appointed
for your fathers
so that they will take heed
to do all that I have commanded them
according to the whole Torah (instruction)
and the chuqqim (statutes) and the mishpatim (judgements)
by the hand of Moses
At this point we will jump to the generation which succeeded (About 1390 BC or 700 hundred years before) Moses to see what instructions Joshua gave the people when he was about to die then we will return to Manasseh.
“And it came to pass a long time after that
that Yahuah had given rest unto Israel
from all their enemies around about
that Yahoshua waxed old and was stricken in age
And Yahoshua called for all Israel
And for their elders
And for their heads
And for their judges
And for their officers
And said unto them
I am old and stricken in age
And ye have seen all that
Yahuah your Elohim has done unto
All these nations because of you
For Yahuah your Elohim
Is he that fought for you
Behold I have divided unto you by lot
These nations that remain
To be an inheritance for you tribes
From Jordan, with all the nations that
I have cut off
Even unto the great sea westward
And Yahuah your Elohim
He shall expel them from before you
And drive them out of your sight
And ye shall possess their land
As Yahuah you Elohim
Hath promised unto you
Be ye therefore very courageous
To keep and do all that is written
In the book of Torah (instruction) of Moses
That ye turn not aside therefrom
To the right hand or the left
(1) That ye come not among these nations
These that remain among you
(2) Neither make mention of
the name of their elohim (Melekh Assur included)
(3) nor cause to swear by them
(4) neither serve them
(5) nor bow yourselves unto them
(6) But cleave to Yahuah your Elohim
as you have done unto this day
For Yahuah hath driven out from before you
Great nations and strong
But as for you no man
Hath been able to stand before you unto this day
One man of you shall chase a thousand
For Yahuah your Elohim
He it is that fighteth for you
As he hath promised you
Take good heed unto yourselves
That ye love Yahuah your Elohim”
Joshua 23
Now we will return forward four hundred years to Manasseh’s generation, which is like our generation
So Manasseh made Judah
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err
And to do worse than the heathen
Whom Yahuah had destroyed
Before the children of Israel
And Yahuah spoke to Manasseh
And to his people
But they would not hearken
Wherefore Yahuah brought upon them
The captains of the hosts of Melekh Assur
Which took Manasseh among the thorns
And bound him with fetters and took him to
Babylon
(In Akkadian or ancient Babylonian the word is Babel, if you go back to ancient B-Babylon it is made up of two words Bab gate, and Ilu, a god from Babylon. This word Bab they have to day in Arabic. Ilu’s Arabic equivalent is Ila. So if we look at the shahada of the servants of Melekh Assur we have “there is no god il (but) Al- ila which is shortened to make the name they call there god. This deity came from ancient Babylon)
And when he was in affliction
He besought Yahuah his Elohim
And humbled himself greatly
Before the Elohim of his fathers
And prayed unto him
And he was entreated of him
And heard his supplication
And brought him again to Jerusalem
Into his kingdom
Then Manasseh knew
That Yahuah he was Elohim
And he built a wall
Without the city of David
…And raised it up a very great height
And he took away the strange elohim
And the idols out of the house of Yahuah
And all the altars that he had built
In the mount of the House of Yahuah
And in Jerusalem
And cast them out of the city
And he repaired the Altar of Yahuah
And sacrificed thereon
With peace offerings and thank offerings
And commanded Judah to serve
Yahuah Elohim of Israel”
Let the Church take note of the repentance of Manasseh. For Melekh Assur had been capturing church souls and property for 1364 years since Melekh Assur was raised up in Arabia. But now is the time of the restoration of our captivity and the seed of the souls lost to Melekh Assur will be restored to the Church if we will wake up form all idolatry and return in purity to Yahuah our Elohim in his son Yeshua. Hallelu Yah Amen
Part 2: The Training of the Saints of El Elyon
The Days of the Bible College of Wales Swansea
It was clear to me, that like the young David I was called to a place but not ready to possess it. Paul was set apart from his mother’s womb, but the decades passed until he was ready for the call. The same with Jeremiah, he was known before he was in him mother’s womb but was not called for 17 years at least. And so with us in the Church, we need to move from being called to being chosen, we need to let Yahuah teach us his ways of going about his mission. Not so much saying there are four months but rater seeing that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest (Adon Ha Katzir) to send forth laborers. The transformation from our thinking and plans to Yahuah’s thinking and plans is one each of us has to make, or we will not see Yahuah’s way fulfilled in our lives and this is what Yahuah began to teach me.

al and Prophetic Confirmations of Hallelu Yah
Testimonies to Yahuah’s glory
The book Hallelu Yah was printed on Sivan 6 2001. This day is the 1971st birthday of the Church of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. It is also the anniversary of the birth of the sons of Israel as a people. It is the remembrance of the giving of the Covenant of Horeb on Mount Sinai, that is the 10 sayings or 10 Commandments and the Judgements or Mishaptim which went along with that. And of the ascension of the 70 elders plus Moshe, Yahoshua, Aaron, and his two sons on to Sinai. Along with the eating and drinking and seeing the Elohim of Israel and yet living. After this meal Moshe and Yahoshua ascended the Mountain and Moshe received other instructions.
It is the remembrance of the ratification of the New Covenant in the Blood of Yeshua. Yeshua gave the bread and the wine about 51 days or so before, these were his body and blood. He then shed his blood on Pesach and ascended with it on Omer, presented himself to the Father on this day as High priest of the Melcizedek order and offered his blood. He then returned in his glorified body and taught the disciples of forty days. Finally he ascended again to the Father after forty days, having received all authority in the heavens and the earth. His first recorded act with this authority was to send the Holy Spirit onto the Church on Pentecost or Shavuot. This empowered the Church to witness with power, to his resurrection and future rule. This all started 1931 solar years ago. Therefore, since that time to this the Church has seen 1931 Shavuots or Pentecosts.
And now in year 1971 from the birth of the Church, year 2626 from the Habukuk revelations “The Tzaddik (righteous) shall live by faith” and “The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Kavod (glory) of Yahuah as the waters cover the sea”. The Tzaddik shall live by faith (emunah) took on powerful prophetic significance with the Apostle Paul. And through that revelation the knowledge of the Kavod Yahuah has spread itself to the ends of the earth, through the spreading of the gospel by the servants of the Tzaddik Yeshua. Who has become for us Yahuah Tzidkenu (our righteousness).
Now we move fully into the next phase. The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Kavod (glory) of Yahuah as the waters covers the sea. Martin Luther took up the call of the sleeping Habukuk Emuna vision..
Though Emunah (faith) was not sleeping at all, but only appeared so, and now in the process of the restoration of all things we take up the call HalleluYah, give glory to Yah. The name of Yahuah will be restored the glory will not just be present everywhere and known by some, but will be present everywhere and known by all. This is the child of the “Tzadik shall live by his emunah”. Through the emunah of the saints the expectaion of the glory of Yahuah has spread itself to the far flung corners of the earth. It was the very motivation for their preaching. As Paul said “With this same spirit of emunah we therefore speak “I believe therefore I have spoken” 2 Cor. It was the content of the message preached “The Word of Emunah which we preach”. It was the means by which the blessing of Mashiach were received by the believer “Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Torah or by the Hearing of Emunah? (Gal 3). It was the deposit which each man in the church received “Now to each man is dealt the measure of Emunah” (Rom 12). It was from this measure of faith that the Church was able to prophesy the glory of Yahuah to come or indeed to prophesy per se “If prophecy, then according to the measure of his Emunah. This faith lead to the victory over the world (1John) “This is the victory that overcometh the world even our Emunah”. And it was the source and destination of the everlasting Tzedakah of the gospel. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of Elohim to salvation to everyone who believes, to the Yehudi first and also to the Greek. For in it the Tzdakah (righteousness) of Elohim is revealed from Emunah to Emunah; as it is written “He who is righteous (Tzadik) by faith shall live”
The glory of Yahuah is not just his life giving resurrection power but his name and character. The ring of this revival will be “then they will know I am Yahuah when…” The whole revival will be an affirmation of the Elohim of Israel, Yahuah, in every aspect of his being. He will be seen to be the Elohim Chaim (life) the Elohim Emet (truth) and the Melek Ha Goim (King of the nations.)
The relationship between faith and expectation the glory of Elohim shown forth in Habukuk is explained by Paul. Abraham “with respect to the promise of Elohim, he did not waver in unbelief , but grew strong in faith giving glory to Elohim.” (Rom 4) So we see by believing firmly in Yah’s promises we give glory to Elohim. And by believing that Yahuah is more than able to do what he promised Abraham’s faith was reckoned as righteousness. We also who believed in him who raised Yeshua from the dead are reckoned righteousness. “Therefore having been made righteous by faith we have peace with Elohim, through our Lord Yeshua the Mashiach.(Rom 5)
Paul having laid the faith source goes on to illustrate the resulting hope of glory.
“We have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of Elohim” Now in this 21st century we are entering in the full substance not just the hope of the glory. “For if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it” So for 1971 years the church has waited for this revival. This revival will lead to the completion of the secret of Elohim as he revealed to his prophets. We rejoice in the hope of the character or glory of Yahuah being made manifest. For his glory includes his character and his name and his everlasting life. We rejoice in expecting these to arrive. The gifts which Elohim gives us which lead to his fulness of glory are righteousness and eternal life. The greater explanation of the glory of Yahuah we have been waitng for and which will be ushered in by this last revival are revealed by Paul in Romans 8. If we look at the Psalm 148 which is central to this revival we see it is a Psalm calling all creation to Hallelu Yah. That is to give glory to Yah. All creation in union is called to do this. ( I laugh because as I get into this flow it is 6:26 AM which reminds of 626 BC when Habukuk was given the vision of the end of the wicked of the end of the proud of the end of injustice. At the same time he was given the purpose of pride and the wicked surrounding the righteous, it is to allow the righteous one who lives by faith to take over his place. How is this? It is because when the wicked sprouts up and is allowed to increase he reaches a level where his sin has reached it fill. When that happens Yahuah in his justice is obligated to judge and remove the wicked. Hence leaving his place for the righteous. This ultimately will lead to the removal of sin and death and their master under master satan, from the universe to the eternal fire. The purpose of injustice is to give way to the earth being filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahuah. How is this? When man’s justice is perverted, Yahuah will intervene with his perfect justice and the unjust system is condemned and all those who hang on to it. But the systems of righteous justice are upheld and given eternal life. So Yeshua was unjustly sentenced to death. Then Satan did his worst, turned Yeshua into one who did not even look human on the cross. Then killed him, with his ultimate sanction death. But what happened to the righteous one through all this. According to the gospel, it was impossible for the pangs of death to hold him. Satan did his worst. And yet what did Yeshua say “ Now the judgement of this world is at hand. The prince of this world is coming, but he has nothing in me.”
The case was brought against Yeshua, in the religious court of the Yehudim. A Sanhedrin originally ordained of Yahuah under Moshe. But they perverted its justice and used their understanding of Torah to condemn the giver of the Torah to death. As they had done to many prophets in previous generation. Yeshua was sent from the religious Jewish court the greatest wisest court on earth, a righteous man condemned to death. He went before Pilate. A secular court. Representing the fact that the Yehudim, although in the land were not in the blessing of the Torah. For Yahuah had said, if they kept his Torah they would be above and the stranger below. But here we have a stranger ruling the nation, they could not execute their Torah sentence without the permission of the Gentiles who had no portion in that Covenant, except by hope. He as the representative of the rulers of the nations Caeser, hands Yeshua the righteous, over to death. “He was oppressed and he was afflicted” Is 53. Yes they judged him and put him to death. But this is not the end of justice. For Yahuah’s court is the highest court. And Yahuah took the case after the highest courts on earth were in agreement, the first condenming the second impotent. For although Pilate washed his hands he still sent him to die at the hand of his Roman soldiers who could do nothing except by his authority. So Yeshua’s soul separated from his body, he left his body in the grave and went and proclaimed good news to those captured in Pre Messianic death. As he moved through Sheol or Hades, perhaps all the demons all the unclean things and all Satan could muster of his dark forces tried to grab him. But his word was truth. The prince of this world comes but he has nothing in me. It was the power of an indestructible life, which preserved him. The Father watched. After three days and three nights the words were heard in Hades “No one takes my life from me, I will lay it down and I will take it up again”. And in the echoe chambers of pre messianic hell echoed the words “I will build my Church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it” And as if to confirm these two sayings came the words “ The Son of man must suffer many things , and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day…Tell the vision to no one until the Son of man has been risen from the dead” and as if to put the seal on the devils tomb “Heaven and earth will pass away but my word will never pass away…I and the Father are Echad” At this last statement a blinding light entered Hades. It was bright and more powerful than lightning. The very brightness witnessed on the mount of transfiguration was seen in Hades and the light overcame the darkness of that dark place. The Spirit of the Son of man returned to body and that which was now a life giving spirit giving life to the flesh and bones of his body, without the use of blood. The body being now incorruptible and imperishible was changed in the twinkling of an eye and came up through the material grave clothes and the first fruit of the new creation was born. He was a life giving Spirit. As he stood to his feet, two angels appeared and stood next to him. These were the Cheruvim form the ark of the Covenant. A voice spoke out of heaven “This is the Son of Elohim with power”. The devil and his legions were knocked out having received a head crushing blow from the foot of the Son of Man. This blow shattered the teeth of the wicked and bruised his head.And as the Son of Man spoke saying “I am the first and the last and the living one; I was dead and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and Hades” something like a two edged sword left the Son of man and “struck the head of the of the house of evil “ and laid him open from the thigh to the neck. Yeshua went out to the garden and spoke to Mary Magdalena. He then ascended armed with his precious blood to the highest court in the universe. The court of Yahuah. Here he faces an accuser, the Prince of this world wounded, with shattered teeth and a cut from the thigh to the neck. The Prince of this world presented his case against Yeshua. He deserved to die because ….But when he got to “because” his arguments were found empty. For Yeshua told us beforehand “He had nothing in me. There was nothing in Yeshua which could condemn him to death or keep him there. And the father was able to glorify his name through the resurrection of Yeshua. For he had said “I have glorified it and will glorify it again” (John 13). Yeshua’s life his thoughts, words and deeds contained in his blood, defended him before the Father his complete obedience and humility made him Yahuah Tzidkenu. Having defeated Satan in the court of heaven he won the right to his life being for the forgiveness of sins “because he had done no violence, nor was deceit in his mouth” and by the knowledge of him my righteous servant will make righteous many. And the world systems of justice were judged and condemned. The transfer of their authority to the Son of Enosh was decreed from that moment forward. Yeshua then returned to earth and began teaching his disciples about the Kingdom of Elohim. Included in this curriculum were the subjects,
recognizing Mashiach through the fire of his words, the breaking of bread and faith in the prophecies and promises of Scripture.
The importance of believing the testimony of faith filled men and women about what they claimed to be eyewitnesses about.
That It is more better to believe with out seeing although there is also a blessing in believing having seen
That the Resurrection of Mashiach is both Spiritual and physical and the new creation man is able to enter into closed rooms and disappear as easily as he came
The breathing factor of New Creation Man. That is new creation man is a life giving Spirit. His spirit is Holy and when he even breathes of someone they can receive that Holy Spirit
When the Holy Spirit is received from the New Man authority is conferred to release sins or retain sins of whosoever the Holy Spirit vessels chose. This means for example if someone sins against a New Man, either the New Man can prosecute him before Yahuah or he can release him. If he prosecutes him, it will be judged on judgement day or before. If he forgives him, he is released from the bondage and judgement of that sin.
The followers of Mashiach are one flock of Sheep. There are lambs and sheep in the flock and Yeshua chooses who he desires to feed the sheep and the lambs. One major criteria for a chosen one is if they love Yeshua with at least a Philea love, brotherly love. It is preferred that he is loved with an Agape love.
The teaching of the Kingdom of Elohim is by the Holy Spirit
Ministers need to be anointed with power by the Holy Spirit to be able to be witnesses for Yeshua, that he is resurrected from the dead, alive, and ascended on high as Lord of All.
Witnesses must have first hand experience. The minimum training period for an Apostle at that time was 3 years and 50 days.
The authority of the Holy Spirit can come by breathing and the empowerment can be obtained by specific earnest prayer and is linked to Shavuoth
Times which the Father has set by his own authority are not to be known by Witnesess
Yeshua is with the Church as it teaches him
All authority and heaven and earth belong to Yeshua
All nations are to be discipled and baptised in the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit
All nations are to be taught to obey all that Mashiach Yeshua commanded his disciples
The good news of the suffering and resurrection and glories of Mashiach is to be proclaimed to all creation. This proclamation is not merely to men but to all creation.
And so it is that in this next revival we will be effecting that transfer of power from the kings of the earth to the saints of El Elyon. And as Yahuah says “It is not by might, it not by power but by my Spirit”. Five days after the publication of the book the writer went to a congregation in Jerusalem. There was a prophetic teaching ministering and he prophesied over various persons attending. The prophecy for the writer was a s follows. Please note that the Name of Yahuah and its revived and full use is a key them of the book. The word was as follows.
My Name is Upon Thee
The Word of the Spirit by Chuck Flynn 2nd June 2001 11 Sivan 6002, Shabbat
“For my Son, my hands are upon thee
Hallelu Yah
I’ve touched your forehead, I’ve released you and cut you loose
In your background of all generational negative influence and soul ties
You’re set free!
You will lead many into my glory
Because I’ve looked for a man to stand in the gap
(‘And I sought for a man among them who would make a wall,
and stand in the breach before me on behalf of the land
that I should not destroy it’ Ez 22:20)
And I have found you willing in this particular area
But you will not wait for someone else to do it
You shall put your hand to the plough as Elisha ploughed
The field and felt the mantle of Elijah
So that mantle of Elijah
The fire of my divine boldness through the word
Shall go forth through you and set the captive free.
And you shall speak to leadership saying
‘This is the way walk in it’
For the glory of my names upon thee
And this is confirmation unto thee
That I have exalted my name over you
And (taught or told) you
Yea Yahuah (The Lord) will use you mightily
And you shall humble your heart
Yea as you already have sought my face
I will lift you up above the shadows
For Yahuah (the Lord) knows who to lift up and to put down.
And it’s a changing of the guard in the body of Mashiach (Christ)
In the world
There’s a change of guard
Yahuah’s (The Lord’s) arm is being made bear
Sayeth the Spirit.
On the 11th June 2001 20th Sivan 6002 the writer was in a house group in Neve Yacov.
Here, as he decided to leave they took hands to pray for 10 minutes before he left. As they held hands his neighbour a finnish lady, Ms Annette, had a vision of him. She saw him running and looking over his right shoulder. She said the vision he was running with was very clear. The vision would be very clear. Then the scene changed and she saw him dressed in a white robe down to his fee. With a long scarf around his neck. It had green embroidery and two golden crosses one on each side. She said she saw him giving bread and wine to many many people. She noted particularly that it was not in as she understood it a Charismatic type church. But rather a more conservative type Church.
The writer was amazed because she saw the robe as he understood it, which is Pastor of the Syro Chaldean Church wore when conducting the Blessing or Communion. He was indeed amazed because he had never met this lady before. And really never expected any such word. She said you will have to decide if its from the Lord but I just want to encourage you.
A Korean brother Mr S was also present. So the writer had him witness that this vision was spoken and what she saw was exactly the robes their bishop wore when officiating at the altar. Except in their Church in Christ Church Jerusalem, there were only between ten and twenty people each week. Did she then see a result of the coming revival. Did she see the coming revival? Hallelu Yah.
Ms Annette the finnish servant of Yahuah, also confirmed the connection between the book of the writer and the Habakuk vision. She saw him running with the vision. Many many times when the writer was inspired to write it was the Habukuk 2 command to “record the Chazown (vision), make it plane on tablets that he who reads may run” which had been granted to him by Yahuah as the command. Having first published the book on Shavuot 1971 from the birth of the Church, in an uncorrected proof copy edition, he was told by some friends that they didn’t want their phone number in the book. So he went through the process of eliminating the last four digits of the number. This saved on time and tipex. At first the writer was irritated by this, but that same night he was granted a dream that confirmed the counsel and the good intentions of the friends. As he began to wipe out the four didgits, a strange realisation and coincidence occured. Every book was left with the phrase Call 02626 on the end of the first page. The writer remembered that according to E. W. Faulstich and his ‘Scientific Approach to Biblical Chronology” the date of Habukuk’s vision was BC 626. So the writer counted 626 years down to 1 BC. There is no 0 year so you go from 1 BC to 1 AD. From 1 AD to 2001 AD is 2000 years. This book then was published 2626 years after this dating of Habukuk vision. And every front page had on it Call 02626 after its correction. So the writer, already understanding that the book was going forth in the timing of Yahuah felt he was caught up in something much bigger than he, but bigger than his ideas. It was the timings of the hand of Yahuah in the past, present and future of the nations. This book was a part of the call of Habakuk for ‘the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahuah as the waters cover the sea’
But he coincides did not stop there. The number 2626 is also special when considering the nature of the book. The book was had as a subject the name Yahuah. The aim and intent was to restore the name Yahuah to the mouth of the Church and the mouth of Israel. Well in Hebrew the name is spelt yod heh vav heh. This bearing in the system of gematria where every hebrew word and name has a number, the number 26. Yod = 10, heh = 5 vav = 6 heh = 5 giving the number 26. Thus each book bore the number Call 2626 on the cover. Was this design or coincidence? It certainly was not designed by the author. 2626 is of course exactly 101 times 26. The writer does not yet know the significance of 101.
