1.)	This is The Obedient Church of God preaching worldwide on the Internet.
2.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you have probably been crying forever,” Yes, Father has been crying for 6000 years because we are so disobedient.
3.)	“ And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they’re a mirror;” Genesis 1:14 says lights will mark days; you can’t even get the first book of the Bible right. 
4.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart, but if I preach to you just a little bit longer, if I stay here, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?” 
5.)	“If I stand all alone…” Yes, The Obedient Church of God is standing all alone. We are the only denomination in the whole world that keeps God’s Sabbath Day on the seventh-day in half the world because we don’t follow a phony International Date Line, but that means nothing to you. 
6.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart ; if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I stay here, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart,” Won’t you listen to God’s heart? “God’s heart?” It is so sad, if you would only obey?
7.)	Bonjour Paree, France, sez six heures après le midi, l’heure du diner au, France. Six P.M. suppertime in Paris; nine A.M. on the West Coast, Los Angeles; twelve Noon on the East Coast, New York City. Breakfast time, lunch time, supper time—the perfect time for our spiritual feeding on God’s Sabbath Day.
8.)	“If I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach to you, won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?” 
9.)	Yes indeed. Why won’t you listen to God’s heart? We are giving the credits to the back-up singer there  after the “Fair Use Doctrine,” making the point of how you are breaking God’s heart. We are using that as an introduction under the “Fair Use” guidelines. You can use that music to make your point over an educational matter or a religious matter.
10.)	 Welcome to The Obedient Church of God. The name states exactly what it is. That means that all of the other churches are disobedient, proven by the fact that they move God’s holy day, the Sabbath, the sign that is God’s mark on you, to Friday in half the world and they refuse to change. 
11.)	 Even the Orthodox Jewish rabbis move the Sabbath Day to Friday by the phony 1883 International Date Line. Haven’t they got any sense at all? In 1880 everybody waited for the sun to go down, but in 1883 the day changes—it jumps ahead because of the phony, “phony” International Date Line. 
12.)	 Has no one any common sense to count on his fingers seven days to come to the Sabbath Day? It isn’t that difficult, unless you are a disobedient brat? Unless you are not God-fearing at all. You have no fear of God; you just do whatever you want to do. And when it is shown to you, do you repent? No. You ignore it, and you bash the messenger. 
13.)	 You won’t discuss it because the facts are the International Date Line has moved God’s Sabbath Day to Friday in half the world and means all your members are “picking up sticks” on the Sabbath Day, working on the Sabbath Day because they started the Sabbath Day on Friday and they quit the Sabbath on Friday.     
14.)	 Well, you say you are trying to do your best? It doesn’t depend on feelings. The promise of eternal life is based on God’s authority and God’s Word, not on your feelings that you are trying to do your best.
15.)	 Luke 12:48 says, “Even he who did not know will be beaten.” So why are you so foolish to follow all the other denominations to the gates of hell? There is only one way; there is only the straight and narrow way, and there is only the narrow gate, but no, you want your own way. 
16.)	 Just like the Israelites of old time, their experiences were for our admonition so we wouldn’t do the same things and be so stiff-necked and hard-hearted and stubborn.
17.)	 Why am I wearing black? It is because I’m mourning for you and all of my friends, my ex-friends, and my ex-associates who refuse, and indeed, continue to neglect and refuse to follow God’s Bible of counting to the seventh-day in all of the world to have the Sabbath.  
18.)	 And indeed they refuse to follow Deuteronomy 16:16 where it say to appear before the Lord three times, one, two, three times a year: I.) the Feast of Unleavened Bread; II.) the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost); and III.) the Feast of Tabernacles.
19.)	 You can’t get away from it, you lying ministers. You are supposed to tell your members to appear three times a year before God. But you don’t do that because you are stubborn, rebellious, and into the Lake of Fire you will have to go for leading your sheep astray and for not teaching the Bible.
20.)	 If anyone preaches any other doctrine, there is a double curse put on them, Galatians 1:6 and 1:9. A double curse is on you if you preach any other doctrine than that which is in the Bible. 
21.)	 The apostle Paul had the Sabbath Day on the seventh-day of the week throughout the whole world, and he didn’t follow any phony 1883 International Date Line; nor did the apostle Paul follow an averaging calendar of Hillel II in 358 A.D. that moves the feast days two day early, one day late, one day early, two days late. 
22.)	 Hillel II’s stupid averaging calendar has this month two days early. That’s right. Two days early. I shudder to think of what is going to happen on the Feast of Weeks or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. They’ll all be working if they start two days early. So then they’ll leave two days early and they will be working on God’s holy Sabbath Feast Days.
23.)	 And indeed, none of you follow the new moons, which Ezekiel 46:3 clearly states, “You shall worship on…the new moons.” Is that too difficult to understand?
24.)	 Why won’t you follow your manual that will lead you into eternal life, and will allow Christ to place the sacrifice of his body on you? It is because Hebrews 10:26 says, you have no sacrifice for your sins once you come to the knowledge, and you still refuse to repent.
25.)	 And there are so many ministers that indeed call themselves apostles, but refuse to follow the point I just mentioned. And yet they have the gall, the audacity to call themselves apostles. I have never seen so many apostles in my whole life. There are more springing up all the time.
26.)	 Now I know the Apostle Paul, but who are all these other apostles? Who are they? I’ve never heard of them. And they are not teaching God’s Bible. They are “sinisters” who refuse to repent. 
27.)	 They all need to get re-baptized, and then maybe, just maybe they can start obeying God’s Bible.  The thing here is they don’t want to do that; they are too proud. The Spirit of God is given to those who obey, whether you say so or not. 
28.)	 The Bible does not say that the Spirit of God is given to those who disobey. So do you want to have the Spirit of God or don’t you? It appears that you don’t want the Spirit of God because you continue to disobey. It is that simple. You are doing it; God is not doing it. You are putting yourself into the Lake of Fire because God can’t do anything with an incorrigible brat.
29.)	 You have “free will” but you want to remain a “brat minister,” a “sinister.” You refuse to repent.
And the book is against you; all you have to do is hold up the Bible as your mirror. Just hold up that Bible. That’s your mirror. There’s a Bible behind me; there it is. I don’t even open it up 
30.)	 Hold up your Bible; what does it say? It says that you shall appear three times before God, three times a year at a place that He ordains. This Bible says you shall worship on the new moons. This Bible in Galatians 1:6 says you shall not preach any other doctrine contrary to this Bible.
31.)	 Paul celebrated the new moons; all of the first century Christian Church celebrated the new moon and indeed, it is beautiful to have a day off. Every New Moon Day we here at The Obedient Church of God do a special service on the characteristics of Yeshua in honor of Yeshua.
32.)	 New Moon Day is going to be coming up; today is Shevat the 20th, so you have time to think about this again. It will either fall on the 11th or the 12th of February depending whether it is sighted by human eyeballs. 
33.)	 It is amazing that ministers can’t read their Bible. Two witnesses have to prove that the crescent moon was sighted. That is how it is declared. The new moon is not determined by a phony averaging calendar and not by “potential visibility.” 
34.)	 If you go into a court of law, you can’t say that I saw papers that said the averaging calendar tells me that the month starts. In a court of law that is heresay.
35.)	 The Bible states that you have to have two witnesses—four eyeballs. I’ve been in Grand Jury trial and I’ve been in two of them and if I testified to something by saying I saw the chemist take the measurements and I saw the papers the chemist wrote up; that is thrown out of court as hearsay.
36.)	 I had to call in the chemist and have him testify just like you have the two witnesses testify to the new moon sighting as the Bible commands that there be two witnesses with actual eyeballs sighting the new moon. 
37.)	 Now all you members who follow “willy-nilly” along with anything a minister says will be in the Lake of Fire because you are only 50% of oil. Oh sure, some of the ministers have 50% of the oil, but they don’t have all of the oil.
38.)	 The ministers don’t have New Moon Day; they don’t have three feasts a year. What’s wrong with them? Why can’t they apply Deuteronomy 16:16? It is because they are deceived by the Devil. 
39.)	 We The Obedient Church of God are the Romans 9:28 short work of God, turning the hearts of the children back to the Father. Father doesn’t want to have a bunch of disobedient brats in His Kingdom all celebrating different days in different ways, whatever they want, and having 4,000 different religions in His Kingdom. It is not going to be that way.  
40.)	 There is only going to be one way, there is only one door, there is only one baptism, and there is only one Spirit; and if you don’t have that Spirit of obedience, if you are not obedient, then into the Lake of Fire you go because one disobedient devil was enough disrupting 1/3 of the angels.
41.)	 That is how important it is for you to obey Deuteronomy 16:16, which says you are to appear before the Lord three times a year; and indeed not to participate in the Mother-goddess Day, the highest witch’s sabbath in the year in the springtime. Mother-goddess Day, the mother of all the gods and goddesses, is when people honor their dear sweet mother, even though the Bible tells us not to learn the way of the Gentile, and Mother-goddess Day is the way of the Gentile.
42.)	 You are supposed to love God more that the ways of the Gentiles. You are supposed to hang-up on your children when they call you on Mother’s Day. Tell them that I’ve told you for years now that that is a high witch’s sabbath and the rebirth of the earth at springtime, and it is satanic, and you are not going to call me on Mother-goddess Day. You have 364 other days to call me on.
43.)	 And indeed, a little leaven leavens the whole loaf. Then you head into Sky Father’s Day. You have a day for your dear sweet mother, so you have to have a day for your Father—so you have Sky Father’s Day, which leads to the longest day of the year. 
44.)	 Then you have Turkey-god Day, a day for God. The seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles wasn’t enough for you? The seven days of God’s Ingathering wasn’t enough, and you are going to add an eighth day? You are going to learn the way of the Gentiles too? 
45.)	 Jeremiah 10:2 says do not learn the way of the Gentiles.  Are you going to break that law too? So now you are going to have eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles that includes an additional day, Turkey-god Day? And Shimini Atzerets would make it nine days? Why don’t you have two days of Pentecost then? Why don’t you? It is the same logic.   
46.)	 For the new listeners out there you have Christmas Day. Christmas Day is the rebirth of the sun, which is Baal. Let us put it into perspective for you. The sun died on the 22nd. The 21st-22nd is the shortest day of the year when the sun in the sky died; it had its shortest life span in the day, and then three days later the sun arises on the 25th. That is why December 25th is celebrated.
47.)	 The sun died on the 22nd, so therefore they determined that it would be pronounced its rebirth after three days and three nights later on the 25th. See how the whole world is satanic. It is satanic when you get into the knowledge and I teach you the knowledge. 
48.)	 In today’s sermon we have dynamite information for you again, and we are going to show you more of the major linkage of the paganism that is all around you, “paganism that is all around you” right from when you first come into America and see the Statue of Liberty, which is the statue of Isis or Semiramis. It has absolutely nothing to do with liberty.
49.)	 She is holding up a torch. Why a torch? Why not scales of justice? Why not a pitcher of water? Why a torch? Answer: she is looking for the penis of her lover, and that is why she has a torch as she goes throughout the world looking for the penis of her lover. That’s how sick this system is.                                                                                                                                                  
50.)	 This “Statue of Liberty” is right at the entrance to America. You know what God did through his prophets to take care of that matter. He had Nimrod cut to pieces: twelve pieces to be exact; and He probably through away the penis to the dogs because the penis represents the blood lines. We’ll tell you more about that later.
51.)	 We have a dynamite service today and we will tell you more about how to pray, and the various positions for prayer. We’ll go through all of those points and when to pray for enemies and how to pray for enemies. I’ll give you hint: you pray for their conversion, not that wonderful things happen to them or that your enemies get blessed. You pray that your enemies get converted.
52.)	 We have the spiritual understanding to help you to draw closer to God and live a better life and a better prayer life. We’ll be telling you more about a better prayer life, but first you want to enter the Throne Room where we give the “sacrifice of our lips.”
53.)	 All please rise, face the north heavens, raise your arms in humble obedience, bow your head, and close your eyes. 
54.)	 “Almighty, most-merciful, and loving Father, praise, glory, power, dominion and ruler ship for you throughout the Universe and indeed for Yeshua throughout the Earth. There is none like you. 
55.)	 “Help us to be like you of the God-family. We thank you for your angels protection; we thank you for your angels diligence in looking after the members of The Obedient Church of God, and help them from having their eyes poked- out like twigs, branches that snap-back on the scale. 
56.)	 “Indeed, thank you for protecting the 200 plus members in Pakistan; none of them have been killed yet again. Remember there were eight of them murdered four years ago; so Father keep on protecting them.
57.)	 “Help us to give this sermon in a Spirit that you would have us give it in with power and admonition. Please inspire the sermon, both the hearing and the speaking; indeed, inspire the listening on the video tapes that people listen to now so that the people can understand that they have to learn to live your way of life. The only way they can learn that is by obeying every jot and title so we can be one harmonious family, not 4,000 different religions all disobeying you.
58.)	 “Oh what a mess, Father. Well, you have a plan. Bless the Romans 9:28 work of The Obedient Church of God—ten years of Awe here. Help us do your bidding.’
59.)	 “We put this service in your hands and as this all in Yeshua ha Mashiach’s holy, righteous name, our soon arriving King. Amen.”
 *  *  *
60.)	 Yes indeed. Now we are in the Throne Room and without further ado the first thing that we want to do is praise Father and that is so important because He is worthy of worship. We will be singing, “Praise the Eternal with a Song.” Now when we sing this, we want you to all sing out. We want you to all sing out so that you don’t embarrass yourself before God. It is very important for you to realize that you are actually giving a prayer to Father with the songs.
61.)	 “Praise the Eternal with a Song,” page 119 in our hymnal, page 62 in other hymnals; and it is important because this is the “fruit of your lips.” 
62.)	 Here is our hymnal, a beautiful fuchsia color for all of the people on the phone hook-up for camera one, camera two. We have the original words of the original hymns and that is important because the words were watered-down so we have the original 1934 words. 
63.)	 Everything that we do is structured and in detail to be authentic, and that is very important because these hymns have power with the words in them, the correct words. So all please remain standing and face the north heaven and sing out to Father as one big choir across the earth. 
64.)	 “Praise the Eternal with a Song;” all sing out. “A statute and a law that God has ordained for Israel;” I hope you sang out in praise, praising the Eternal with this song; you just sang those words. Don’t keep sitting there and embarrassing yourself; you’ll have to answer to God why didn’t you praise Him. Isn’t He worthy of praise? I’m asking you: isn’t He worthy of praise?
So why don’t you praise Him if He is worthy of it? 
65.)	 Well, “Unless the Lord Shall Build the House.” Let’s turn to that hymn on page 61 in our hymnals, and page number 96 in other hymnals, and it is important to know that you are going to sing out to Father the 61st Psalm. Watch out because the original version has only two verses, and the third verse throws a diversion in that shouldn’t be there.
66.)	 So all please follow along and sing out the two verses; this is very important for you to do because you are telling Father that unless it is done His way, it shouldn’t be done at all.
67.)	 Sing the words “unless the Lord shall build the house, the weary builders toil in vain.” That would mean that you are telling Father that you want to subscribe to His ways, believe His ways, and that you will follow only His ways. You are going to sing the words. These are songs to Father so please sing out. All together now. Amen.
68.)	 That keeps the thought going through in continuity. “Unless the Lord shall build the house, the builders toil in vain.” You don’t want to go off on a tangent on the third verse; see how more salient it is to have the original meaning? 
69.)	 Now we want you to pray to Father “Lord Teach me that I May Know” that of the way which I should go. That is Psalm 143. These hymns, “these hymns” are very, “very” important for you to sing out to Father because they are songs, they are prayers, “they are prayers” to Father so sing out, “Lord Teach Me that I May Know.”
70.)	 Amen. Lord teach me that I may know. We in The Obedient Church of God have been  praying and singing that hymn since day one, and we want you to do that also. 
71.)	 Remember that I said at the beginning of this broadcast, Christianity, being a Christian doesn’t depend upon your feelings, it “doesn’t depend upon your feelings.” The promises that are in God’s Word, the Bible, that’s the authority and that’s what you receive if you apply the sacrifice of Christ on you yourself and if you repent; and repentance means obeying God, whether you say so or not.	 
72.)	 Repentance isn’t just a feeling; repentance is obedience; we can tell if you are repentant because then you will obey. You will obey if you are repentant. I almost feel like climbing into your computer screen there and give you a shaking because you just don’t get it, “you just don’t get it.” Hmmm. Don’t make me jump out of this picture onto your throat. Repent so you don’t go into the Lake of Fire.
73.)	 The point is, your feelings aren’t the criteria, “your feelings are not the criteria;” the Bible’s Words are the criteria, such as, “You shall not learn the ways of the Gentiles.”  And it is very clear: you shall not learn Turkey-god Day.
74.)	You shall not add anything to God’s Bible, Deuteronomy 12:32, “You shall not add a day.” Do not give me that garbage about Purim because Purim was a party. I think Purim is coming up somewhere around the 24th of February, and we might have a party, but we are not having a worship service or adding anything to God’s Bible. We’ll just be celebrating [a Jewish victory] and it has no pagan roots.
75.)	 Purim doesn’t go back 4,000 years to the god Osirus, the Egyptian name. Ra-Osiris sprang forth from the egg that was laid by the Cosmic Goose. Hmmm. Amazing! They sprang forth from the Goose’s egg. When you celebrate Thanksgiving, you put a goose (turkey) on your table; you might as well put a Buddha on your table. It is the same representation of Ra-Osiris. 
76.)	 Why don’t you have a lamb roast on your table? Why don’t you have a venison roast or a beef roast? Why a turkey? Why does it have to be a turkey? It is because the turkey represents the goose that gives its life for its young and was revered by the Egyptians.
77.)	 But more than that, the goose would stand up against the intruder—a fox, a coyote or whatever it was, maybe even a bear, and the goose would fight off the predator while the little goslings all scampered away. So it was revered for giving up its life for its young. 
78.)	 And you have a Buddha on your table, which is the turkey; nobody had a goose because all the geese had flown south, so Bradford could only find turkeys. Governor Bradford was a turkey because he had a three-day ceremony the same way as the Pawnee Indians that showed up had it. 
79.)	 They were also comfortable with their three-day ceremony because it was identical to the pagan ceremony that the Pawnee Indians celebrated. It was a worldwide deception, and you are going to celebrate it to God? You are going to march in Hitler’s parade on a day to Hitler and you are going to use it to celebrate to God? 
80.)	 It is worse than that; you are adding to God’s Bible. You still don’t get it, do you? “You still don’t get it;” you would have your own way. “If only they had obeyed, their God would have surely freed them.” You are just like the Israelites in the Old Testament. You refuse to repent.
81.)	 You go by your feelings. Well, you have to trust in God’s Word and only God’s word so you go by the facts. 
82.)	 The engine that is pulling the Christian train is God’s Bible, “God’s Bible”—the facts that are in God’s Bible are the engine that drives the train. Then you have the Holy Spirit, which opens your mind to pull the engine by carrying all the facts that drive the train, and you have a relationship of faith in God. 
83.)	 So you have your first car that is behind the engine, and that is the Holy Spirit that moves the engine: the minds of the people; and then you have another car of faith that you are saved by grace through faith, and not of your own self. You obey because the love of God is that you keep the commandments.
84.)	 First you have the engine of the train with all the doctrine and all of the tools necessary; and then second you have the Holy Spirit; and third you have the faith, which is your trust in God’s Word. But then there is a fourth car that is hanging on to the back end, and that’s your feelings, your human feelings, your wrong human feelings. 
85.)	 Let me tell you, that fourth car is the caboose, and it is haunting you day and night with your feelings, that is, feelings that are pulled along by God’s train. 
86.)	 You have all the facts of the Bible—that’s the engine; you have the Holy Spirit; and then you have your faith; but then you have your caboose.
87.)	 Well, the train will run without the caboose. You don’t need your feelings; you don’t have to have your feelings. You can have feelings after you are converted, but not before you are converted because your feelings will lead you astray. You felt that your church was right, that your particular, “your particular” church of God was right. 
88.)	 Well, all of you Churches of God are wrong because you all celebrate God’s Sabbath Day on the sixth-day (Friday) in half of the world, proven by the facts because you all follow a phony International Date Line, and you refuse to repent. 
89.)	 And indeed, one minister disfellowshipped a man for celebrating the Sabbath Day on the seventh-day; and then that wise skunk of a minister had the audacity to say and trick you people by saying that member celebrates God’s Sabbath in Australia on Sunday. Well, Sunday is the correct day in Australia because the calendar [day] has been jumped ahead.
90.)	 What a dirty lying deceitful trick! To say to the people on air that the member celebrates on Sunday without telling them the member is in Australia. That is dirty deceit. That minister has no clothes now; he is naked because everyone can see what he did: he disfellowshipped a member for keeping God’s Sabbath Day. 
91.)	 I am wearing black for that minister because I mourn for him. I had another minister that I had as a friend, but I had him marked. I marked him back in 2004 because he refused to stop following the phony Hillel II calendar that was created in 358 A.D. But now that I am losing all of my associates and friends, and they are all going into the Lake of Fire, now I’m having to wear black.
92.)	 Maybe it will make an impression on you that you are dead, “dead” in your sins that you “you, you” refuse to repent of. Why won’t you have the Sabbath Day on the seventh-day in half the world? Why not? Ask yourself why not? Think on that. It is because you are following your father the devil who was a liar from the beginning.
93.)	 There was no truth found in the devil [minister] such as stating that the man was celebrating the Sabbath on Sunday in Australia when Sunday is the Sabbath in Australia, going by man’s dates. What a dirty deceitful trick that was for that minister to say on air. He has a wrong spirit and he needs to get re-baptized. Nobody can do such a thing to actually disfellowship a man for celebrating the Sabbath on the seventh-day and have the Spirit of God. 
94.)	 See what happens when you go by feelings and not by God’s Word. It is useless to attempt to have a train that is full of feelings that are tagged on to the end [in the caboose], feelings for your old congregation. 
95.)	 What is more important to you: your mother, your father, your friends, your brother, your sister or God’s Word? What is more important to you? What does the Bible say? He who does not love God more than his mother or his father, or his friends, he is not worthy to be in the Kingdom. 
96.)	 You get into these kinds of situations where you have all the members who are following along with a lying minister and it doesn’t matter whether the minister is lying or not, they’ll just keep on following the minister. 
97.)	 Well, when are they going to realize that you don’t go by feelings because you are, indeed, only half-full of oil and you have to get filled up with oil. You have to celebrate the three feasts three times a year for all of the Church of God members out there; and you have to celebrate New Moon Day because the Bible says so, right along with the Sabbath unless you want to cross the Sabbath out. 
98.)	 In your Sabbath-day worship you say, I’m going to celebrate the Sabbath; but no, I’m not going to celebrate the New Moon Day. You can’t have it both ways: you can’t say I’m not going to celebrate New Moon Day, but I’m going to celebrate the Sabbath because they are both on the same line in the same sentence of Ezekiel 46:3. You can’t have it both ways unless you are a lying minister, and then you are going to try to find a way to twist it.
99.)	 Christ came to save your life and Father gave up His Son Yeshua to save it for you, for your forgiveness of sins, and you refuse to accept the sacrifice. You want to have your own way. 
You want to have Satan’s ways and Satan’s days. 
100.)	Father went to all the trouble and all the pain to allow His Son to be sacrificed so that you would not have to die for following pagan ways and pagan days. Yet you insist on following Turkey-god Day; you insist on moving God’s Sabbath to Friday; you insist upon showing up only one time a year. It is unbelievable! You can’t even read Deuteronomy 16:16 right.
101.)	We want you to have eternal life. We want you to grow and today we are going to show you how to pray—the different positions of prayer; and if we tell you how growth works. To achieve growth, you go to God in prayer daily. “Go” to God in prayer daily, John 15:7. 
102.)	To honor growth “ read”  God’s Word daily, Acts 17:11; the “ o” in growth is to obey God moment by moment, John 14:21; we will expound on that later on in the broadcast—obeying God moment by moment and walking with God.
103.)	The “w” in growth is to witness for Christ by your life and words, Matthew 4:19 and John 15:8; the “t” of growth is trust God for every detail of your life, I Peter 5:7; and most important, the “h” of growth is the Holy Spirit. You allow the Spirit to control you throughout your life, Galatians 5:16-17 and Acts 1:8.
104.)	  So you have the word “growth;” why don’t you put it on your fridge. List the words downward, so the words that you have would be Go, Read, Obey, Witness, Trust, Holy Spirit.
That’s a suggestion for your Christian growth. You have to start somewhere; you have to start with the basics to help you understand.
105.)	We The Obedient Church of God want what is best for you, and what is best for you is proven by your actions that we teach you so that you can indeed learn how to live properly, and how to grow. Now because it is so important, we are going to give you the information before we give you the announcements or any Sparklers.

106.)	We are going to start out with teaching you how to pray, because I realize that people don’t even know how to pray, and in what positions. There are positions for prayer. There are body-positions for prayer; most people don’t know that. So here are some of the positions:
107.)	We’ll first tell you about positions, then we’ll tell you why your prayer might “fall flat” and not be answered, and then we’ll get into experiential prayers. First we’ll tell the basics.
108.)	The first one is lying flat on the floor with your face down, and hands stretched out. You see that in the Bible and even the angels prostrate fall; there are even songs about the “angels prostrate fall.” By lying on the floor, face down with hands stretched out is the first position.
109.)	I have a job for you this week: I want you to try all of these positions this week.
110.)	Second, the basic one is standing, and your hands are raised and spread, but your palms are looking upward. (In my opening prayer my palms are down in humble subservience.) Also, you are looking upward with your eyes closed.
111.)	Third, standing this time with your head bowed and eyes closed. Moving right along.
112.)	Fourth, sitting with your head bowed and eyes closed, and your hands folded. There is no distraction.  Also, you do not hold people’s hands in prayer because that is a distraction. You are praying to Father, mono mono, one on one.  (In séances spiritualists hold hands.) We are not getting into religious dances and holding hands, which is a distraction.   
113.)	Fifth, we have kneeling, head bowed, hands folded.  
114.)	Sixth, next we have kneeling with your head to the ground—head touching the ground—hands face-down on the ground by your head.
115.)	Seventh position is standing with eyes forward facing the north heaven with your arms at your sides as a humble servant. 
116.)	Eighth is sitting with your eyes closed, hands in front and palms up. 
117.)	I want you to try all eight of those positions in prayer this week. 
118.)	These positions are our bodies in prayer that we are offering as a sacrifice, and that’s important to have the positions right. There are two more that I’ll mention.
119.)	Ninth is lying flat on the floor with your face up and palms up, so you would be basically flat on your back with your face up and palms up, as if you were waiting for Father to pick you up and carry you away, which He will do when the time is right. It would be just like a fireman would pick you up and carry you away [from danger] to a place of safety.
120.)	Tenth is slow leisurely walking or sitting in a place where one can safely pay very little attention to what is going on around you. (This would not be recommended for a busy street where you could be run over.)  You need to be in a safe place where little is going on where you can pray to Father while leisurely walking. 
121.)	 Our header here is different kinds of positions for different kinds of prayer.
122.)	Standing with our hands raised is typical of praise, celebrative prayer and thanksgiving. So standing in prayer is typical of praise, celebration, and thanksgiving.
123.)	Kneeling is the same as prostration on the ground; these show humility in recognition of a superior leader, a superior God. Therefore, these types of prayers are well-suited to confession and repentance. And indeed can be used for awe of God, telling Him how powerful He is and how little we are: how little you are; how little I am. 
124.)	If you are someone who doesn’t want to do these different kinds of prayer positions, something is wrong, because every one of these positions has a different purpose. 
125.)	Now, one of the things is that with Elijah, he crouched low to the ground and he put his face between him knees. So that is an eleventh position. 
126.)	The Bible doesn’t mention anything about gesturing in prayers. The Bible mentions you should raise your hands in certain types of prayer, especially those of praise, but it doesn’t mention waving; it just mentions raising your hands. 
127.)	It was the Jews that started the waving about 800 A.D., and they started the rocking—rocking back and forth, rocking, “rocking.” That is not in the Bible! That is glorification of self.
These people are not totally concentrating on God as they could be if they were still and silent while staying in one spot concentrating of God. The Jews are rocking and swaying, chanting, and singing, and praying; they have it all confused.
128.)	 Look, when we sing praises to God we can be in a prayerful mode, but singing is different than praying. Now once in a while you could sing a song to God; you could introduce a song to Him, and I’ve done that. It is like singing a song to your best friend, especially if you have just written one and you want to sing it to Him.
129.)	The point is that you want to have humble subservience, and you want to have a typical type of prayer that is recognition of a superior being and showing all respect as you would to a king. 
130.)	Can you imagine going before a king, or before a queen, and rock back and forth, “rock back and forth, and rock back and forth,” and how annoying how that would be to somebody who is watching you do that in front of them? Stop it!
131.)	Stand still. Know your God. Do the positions that I’ve outlined for you. No rocking and swaying, because that is part of self-glorification. 
132.)	Now the reason I am mentioning these positions to you is so that we can help you pray correctly by getting your body into the right position to match what you are asking Father for.
Remember I said standing with your hands raised is typical of celebrative prayer; and kneeling and prostration shows humility and that is for confession and repentance.
133.)	So there are different positions for prayer, and these body positions in themselves are unimportant to God, but what is important is that they go along with your attitude. 
134.)	You are not just a “dry cardboard cutout” who is just mouthing words. You put your body into it by raising your arms in adoration. Or you put your body into it by prostrating yourself on the floor in humble confession and repentance. This is for your benefit.
135.)	I want you to try out all of these positions, and in that way you can draw closer to God by using your body as a measure of your mind.
136.)	Now you can pray at any time at anywhere so let’s get that one straight. You can pray as you are falling out of a tree, but you can also pray as you are walking down the street. You can commune with Father, and that’s important for you to understand that. 
137.)	There are special specific positions if you are asking for repentance and praying for help and praying fervently; you can’t be praying very fervently if you are just wandering willy-nilly down the street. You have to be prostrate. I hope that helps you. 
138.)	Now if your prayers aren’t working out too well, let’s go over some of the points. You might want to change your way in the place that you pray. First of all, remove all distractions;
that means your cell phone and maybe your house phone—you would disconnect the landline; I
have done that in the past so there are no interruptions.
139.)	Maybe you can put a sign on the door basically saying, not available—please come back in an hour. You remove all the distractions that you can find in your house. 
140.)	Your diet is important too. Don’t be on a sugar-high when you have your prayer; you want to be contemplative and you want to be clear-headed; you don’t want to be overly tired.
Yes, you can fall asleep praying on your bed, and I’m sure most of us have done that, but that isn’t a general rule occurrence. You want to be very conscious of what you are saying to Father.
141.)	You can make these minor adjustments to avoid drifting off with different thoughts, so here is a new one. In your own prayer don’t drift off. Don’t let your thoughts just drift. That means you don’t want outside thought coming into your prayer to God. You don’t want to be thinking about your work or your business, or any of your bills unless you are discussing your bills to Father. You don’t want outside thoughts to meander into your mind.  Keep focused.
142.)	Now if your prayers aren’t working too well, let’s put it this way: how to forgive your brother. If you don’t forgive your brother, God won’t forgive you, and He won’t listen to your prayers. Maybe you are harboring anger or resentment against someone, or against a group, against a church group.
143.)	First you ask God to forgive you of your anger, and then you put them in your prayer, and ask God to help you to reconcile in your mind with that person. Now there are some people you don’t want to go near because they are too toxic, but you can pray for them. There are certain individuals that I stay away from, and even certain ministers, because they are toxic. That’s a fact.
144.)	You pray for them and you take away any anger or resentment that you have against that person or that group of people. You basically renounce that anger.  Now you want to have a relationship with God. 
Bear Note: Don’t turn your prayer into a place where you vent your problems with certain members or ministers. What you do is that you pray for those members and ministers.
145.)	 That will help you to stop turning your prayers into a venting session where you are slashing and dashing the other individuals in God’s world. 
146.)	Don’t forget about the poor or oppressed. Pray for the poor. Pray for the oppressed. As you pray for others, so it will be given unto you. And, indeed, ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened. 
147.)	Be truthful with God. If you are angry with someone, you would tell Father about it, but you wouldn’t be venting on it. You would tell Father what happened and how you did your best, and how you were treated, but you wouldn’t do it in a venting type of way or accusatory way. You would tell Father the circumstances and you bring the matter to Father’s attention in a calm manner. Then you listen and pause.
148.)	Another point is that you pause during prayer. Now if you are doing all the talking, God can’t put any ideas or thoughts into your mind. So when I pray I pause a lot and that seems to help me to understand more things about myself and more things about God.
149.)	  So don’t be doing all the talking, pause so that you can listen, have some quiet listening; not that God is going to say anything, but you do give the point of reflection for yourself. And perhaps God will put a thought into your head when you are quiet and you finally keep quiet for at least 10 seconds before you start talking again. That’s very important.
150.)	And lastly, you don’t want to treat God the Father as a bank where He gives you everything. You can ask for things that you need; you can ask for blessings, but you don’t want to treat God like a bank where you can withdraw everything any time that you want. You have to work for things. 
151.)	You have to look for a job; you have to do physical labor, especially if you are in depression. You have to get out and do some physical labor, whether it is just digging a hole and filling it in again; “digging a hole and filling it in again.” You will feel better if you do physical labor.
152.)	Now all these points will help you to have a better prayer life, and help you to focus on God, and your “calling” to be one of His children. 
153.)	You want to quell any of your own imaginations, and listen to God and His thoughts, and God putting thoughts into your mind. 
154.)	Now one of the things in prayer is, some of you might be asking God to do something that you could do yourself. Maybe He hasn’t answered your prayer and He is trying to tell you that He wants you to do that. That’s your responsibility to do a particular deed or act, or a particular work. That means that you might have to struggle.
155.)	Maybe God has a plan for you and He wants you to get out and work harder, work more physically. If you need someone to help, you pray definitely for someone to help; but if your prayer isn’t being answered, then work harder. 
156.)	One of the complexities of life is that we have to rely on God and whatever answer He gives us we work with that. Here on the hill one of the workers continually never shows up and I have to put in a double shift: my regular chores plus the work that has to be done around here. 
157.)	Well, I didn’t like the idea of putting in a double shift, but things had to be done; with all the rain that we have had here, we could have a disaster on the whole hillside coming down. So I had to get on the dozer and I had to plow a whole road, and I had to put the lights on the dozer and it was getting dark, and I was cold and wet from all the mud on the ground, and because my man didn’t show up to do the work, I had to do the work.
158.)	Long story short, after I got finished, after I got my wet clothes off and my wet pants from the rain, I actually felt better had I not done it and had I stayed inside. That is something to think about. If you can do it yourself, that’s your responsibility. God wanted me to learn that I better do more myself than counting on hiring people to do things.
159.)	Indeed, I did a better job than I had seen anyone else do, and it was done the way I wanted it to be done; no equipment was broken and no trees were knocked down, and nothing was damaged, which was good because I was careful.
160.)	Sometimes you hire other people; they don’t “give a hoot.” They just want to put in time and get out, they are careless. The point of all this is, if you can do it, and if God is not sending you any assistance, then that is your responsibility. I’m telling you that; that is an important one. 
161.)	Now in conclusion, there is a point here that sometimes we will be hitting rock bottom where nothing is going right; everything keeps getting worse—a Job experience. The point is you just keep on keeping on, and you do not let that destroy your relationship with God if your prayers are not being answered.
162.)	Our hope is not in this world; so the last thing you need to do is to put a barrier between you and God just because your prayers are not being answered like you want them to be answered. Look at Job and all that He had to go through, but he ended up with a deeper relationship with God. So that was good; Job felt closer to God. 
163.)	Though you slay me, I still love you Father. It you want to be close to God, never be angry with God; always tell God what you feel, but never in an angry way. Tell God what you think but not in an angry way. Tell God what you think of a situation with others but not in an angry way. Therefore, you pray for others. That is how you deal with your enemies.
164.)	You don’t go near your enemies; you stay away from them. Realize they are dirty rotten skunks and they will take everything you have or they will abuse you or they will trash talk you so you stay away from them, but you pray for them that they are granted repentance and that they change their ways. That is important for your prayer life.
165.)	There is also praying without ceasing, “pray without ceasing.” So here is a little thought for you: we pray when we are meditatively quiet before God with Psalm 118 open before us.
166.)	But in praying without ceasing, even when we are walking to the car, we pray when we are getting angry during the day and ask God for help; we pray when we are weeding the garden, thinking that if it wasn’t for Adam and Eve’s sin, we wouldn’t have to weed the garden.
167.)	We pray and ask God to help a friend who is at the end of his or her rope; you can pray when you are writing a letter. 
168.)	You can pray when you are in a conversation with a cynical boss or minister. When you are having a conversation and you are being excoriated, and listening to this coming out of the mouth of this “sinister,” he doesn’t know that you are praying. You are not talking back to him because you are praying. God works it out. 
169.)	So you pray for your enemies and your friends in the congregation. And you can be praying when walking down Main Street in company of strangers; that is part of praying without ceasing so you know what that means. 
170.)	The apostle Paul called on Christian followers to pray without ceasing. How is this possible? It is easy; you put God into your daily routine and you start walking with Him.
171.)	The early Hassidic leaders found different ways to pray while working, and ways of praying when walking, and in cooking, and so on.  
172.)	We have lots of opportunities for prayers. They don’t have to be manifestos, they can be short prayers. You want to be walking with God all day long, and the apostle Paul had a purpose in saying pray without ceasing; Paul is saying constantly walk with Father. That is what he is saying.
173.)	I hope that helps you to know about how to pray without ceasing. They can be little short prayers; they can be prayers in praise of a beautiful flower or a beautiful bird. Tell Father what a wonderful job He did in making that flower, that little bird; that is to pray without ceasing as you are walking with God.
174.)	Now there are other things to pray about. Other topics that I pray about include how to wake-up the “dead” churches, “to wake-up the ‘dead’ churches. So you sense that there is an over-whelming “deadness” in these different Church of God congregations who [have the attitude they] all “know it all” and they just keep on doing what they have been doing. 
175.)	They don’t repent and they all have this spiritual pride, and they are just frozen in disobedience. What do you do? You pray that they will be awakened by the Spirit. Pray to Father that He uses you or maybe uses someone else, or He uses some kind of experience in their lives, even trouble in their lives to breathe Spirit into their lives. Pray God will wake-up a “dead” church.
176.)	 That is what you have to do: you have to pray that. So I don’t complain about the “dead” churches, I actually pray that God finds a way to wake them up. It doesn’t have to be me waking them up; I pray that He finds a way, some methodology, because I don’t want to see my friends in the Lake of Fire, and never see them again throughout eternity.
177.)	 So I am dressed in black mourning for them. Maybe that will wake them up. You can pray that they will be awakened. Use those exact words that they will be awakened. That is a type of intercessory prayer.
178.)	There is also rejoicing in prayer. You rejoice forever more. I Thessalonians 5:16-17 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances…”
179.)	I generally have stopped giving out scriptures so that you have to look up these things I say. Begin with the word Google and put in the word Bible and then the phrase that I said and then it will pop-up; this will help you to do more relevant study instead of me giving you all the answers. I’ll give you gestalt, but I want you to do the homework.
180.)	You want to rejoice forever more. In I Thessalonians 5:17 where it says pray without ceasing, it ties it in with rejoice always, and in everything give thanks. How can we always rejoice? The answer follows: pray without ceasing, so that tells me to rejoice; if I pray without ceasing, I will rejoice. 
181.)	Here is the gestalt: then I don’t put my faith in this dirty, rotten, satanic world; I don’t focus on this dirty, rotten, satanic world. 
182.)	I don’t focus on all the lies of the Church of God ministers, I pray without ceasing and therefore I can rejoice in the coming Kingdom, and not feel that I’m subjected to all of this trouble and grief from ministers and governments, and tax collectors and scam artists, employees who don’t show up, all the troubles that we have in our daily lives: food prices going up and gasoline prices going up.
183.)	Indeed, I don’t focus on all of the Executive Orders that are being passed that take away our freedoms. Let me tell you something before I run out of time.
184.)	Side Bar: These FEMA Camps that are set up all around the country are ghettos; they are exactly the same as the Jewish ghettos, and you want to stay out of them. You don’t want to go anywhere near a FEMA Camp. You do not want to go there for safety; you do not want to go there for protection—they are a ghetto. The Jews were put into a ghetto; and these FEMA Camps were set up to put you into. 
185.)	Yes, there will be work groups because they aren’t going to have everybody sitting around eating ice cream. They are going to put you into work groups and shuffle you around to places in America to work. That’s what is going to happen. They didn’t build those camps for nothing. And if you don’t comply, there are over a half a billion coffins in Atlanta right now.
186.)	You can Google: coffins, Atlanta, Georgia—one/half billion coffins; they are all gone. They have been moved somewhere, they’ve been spread out somewhere.
187.)	You can also Google: over one billion rounds of 40 caliber hollow-point ammunition; Government purchased. Why would your Government purchase for private use, not for the army because hollow-point is illegal in the army since hollow-point kills you. In the army they don’t want hollow-point, which kills you, because they want four men to take out one wounded man who is still alive and tie up five men. 
188.)	Your Government has ordered 1.2 billion—before it was 450 million but now it is 1.2 billion—rounds of hollow point. Why? Why? They are not for the army; they are for police forces or the TSA (Transportation Security Administration.) What a joke! 
189.)	Anyway, the point of all this is that we rejoice by praying and we don’t think about these things because we are praying; and the more we pray, the more we are rejoicing. So you can rejoice, no matter what trouble you are in, even if you are in a prison cell, if you pray without ceasing. 
190.)	Remember Paul and Barnabas were praying and singing in the prison cell. I know things are going to be rough, and people will be boiling their children and eating their children; it says so in the Bible. It says the women will begrudge the placenta as they give birth; they will want to eat the placenta. The woman will want to eat the afterbirth; that’s how bad it will get.
191.)	What we are teaching you today is how to get through these things, and that is by praying without ceasing. You rejoice and that is how you get your mind severed from this terrible system that we are in, which I will tell you more about later in this broadcast before we run out of time.
192.)	I think you are getting the point of the different types of prayer and the different positions for prayer are very important; and they are all tying together now with me teaching you that you can rejoice always.
193.)	 The answer is you being in continual prayer all day long; whatever thought comes into your mind, maybe a beautiful flower or something God has created such as a bird chirping and its beautiful song, or whatever suits you, give thanks for it in prayer; and therefore, you can rejoice.
194.)	I think we are on the right track now. I’ll just ask why should we obey this precept of I Thessalonians 5:17? The answer is so that you can be happier yourself, “so that you can be happier yourself.” 
195.)	We want you to follow God: His admonition to pray without ceasing. A quote is: “Don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.” Don’t pray when it rains if you haven’t been praying when the sun shines. That was by Page.
196.)	This is what Huxley said, “The third petition of the Lord’s prayer is repeated daily by billions who have not the slightest intension of having anyone else’s will be done but their own.” The third petition of the Lord’s prayer is, “Thy will be done.”
197.)	 People don’t have the slightest intension of following God’s Bible, such as Deuteronomy 16:16 where God asks you to meet with Him at a special place three times a year: once on the Feast of Unleavened Bread; once on the Feast of Weeks; and once on the Feast Tabernacles.  
198.)	They don’t have the slightest intension of letting anyone’s will be done but their own.
199.)	A quote by Max Ludado says, “Think of prayer less as an activity for God and more as an awareness of God. Seek to live in uninterrupted, uninterrupted non-interrupted awareness; acknowledge His presence everywhere you go.” This goes beautifully with pray without ceasing and rejoicing in the Lord.
200.)	 I don’t follow any of these guys, these are things that are salient to putting together this message for you. 
201.)	There are all these writers who say that you will never learn how to pray until you are moved enough to weep. Well, that’s not true because I’m teaching you how to pray and you are not weeping yet.
202.)	Here is something by Alfred Tennyson: it is in old English so I’m taking off two letters at the end of a word so that it is more powerful.
203.)	 “There is a place where thou can touch the eyes of blind men to instant perfect sight. There is a place where you can say arise to dying captives bound in chains of night. There is a place where you can reach a store of gold and horde it for the Lord.
204.)	“There is a place on some distant shore where thou can send the worker and the Word. Where is that secret place? Dost thou ask where? O soul it is the secret place of prayer.” 
205.)	That capture the thought I’m trying to get across, and how important it is to walk with God in the secret place of prayer.
206.)	I’d like to play a song for you now, which is very poignant and its words are “I Will Follow Him,” Yeshua and Father in prayer. You follow Father through Yeshua. “I will follow Him where ever He may go…He is my destiny.” Be with Him all day long in prayer.
207.)	Yes indeed, you walk with Father all day long in prayer, and you follow Him and nothing can keep you away from His love. 
208.)	Remember I was speaking about intercessory prayer, which starts with you. It must start with you or else it is not intercessory. You can’t have the thought that someone else is going to pray for that person, or someone else is going to pray for that minister. It starts with you. 
209.)	It may be good to know or think that others are stepping up for praying for that minister or person, but God wants you, “you, you” to put something of yourself into it. Your time is valuable but the other person’s life is valuable also. So therefore, put yourself into it. Don’t be fearful; be persistent.
210.)	God doesn’t mind--that minister isn’t responding, nothing is changing; keep on praying.
That person isn’t responding, isn’t changing; keep on praying—that’s your job. You can do the intercessory prayer; it starts with you. Tag, you’re it! You now know this week you should be praying for others.
211.)	Your love isn’t whole or your mind isn’t balanced if you are just praying for yourself. Sorry that I have to say that but if you are always just praying for yourself, you are not balanced. You want to be praying for others: for their safe travel, for their spiritual growth, for their healing and health, and for their rescue from Satan’s lies. Don’t be just praying for yourself. 
212.)	Now you will always pray, Thy will be done. It is important for you to know God gave us all free will, and we don’t say my will [be done]; it is God’s will [be done]. And it is always done to God’s tenants. 
213.)	Now there can be wonderful intercessory prayer that shows results. There are certain things going on and the question always comes up, do we pray for our leaders. Yes, we pray for our leaders, but the example in the exchange of Habakkuk and God where the prophet asked God to act against injustice (I might add the injustice of the leaders), God replies about a coming doom, “doom, doom.”
214.)	Now Isaiah prayed with King Hezekiah to save the nation from defeat and destruction at the hands of Assyria, and the armies were suddenly turned back. See Isaiah, chapters 36-39. 
215.)	Now the master builder Nehemiah prayed to God to bring about the rebuilding of Jerusalem and of his people. And they took their concerns to God. 
216.)	 Here’s the point: these were all intercessory prayers, prayers of compassion; they were about the people, about the culture, about the faith, and they had a love like God’s love, and they dared to ask God. The thing that is important here is that if God is not going to answer the prayers, you still give those prayers because perchance, “perchance” you could change God’s mind.
217.)	  The “ten righteous men” was bartered from 50 to ten, but in the situation there weren’t even ten righteous men [for God] to spare the city [of Sodom]. But the point is the intention [of Abraham’s pleading with God] was that it was intercessory, an intercessory prayer. 
218.)	We want you to know that intercessory prayers are very important. 
219.)	Realize that when Satan is defeated, then the battle ceases, “when Satan is defeated, then the battle ceases.” So God is trying to teach you something. Let’s connect the whole thing.
220.)	Job had all of these troubles: boils, loss of his children, and his herds and his flocks until Job said the words, “Though He will slay me, yet will I trust Him.”  Job prayed for his friends also, Job 42:10; his friends that were bad-mouthing him, yet Job prayed for them.
221.)	 But how did all of Job’s trouble end? How did the trouble for Job stop? His trouble stopped when Job said, “Though He will slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” That was when Satan was defeated, but Job had to be tested. So if something is happening in your life, think of that. The battle ended when Job had said those words, though you slay me I still trust Father. I hope that puts it into perspective.
                                                         *  *  *
222.)	There is still time to squeeze in time for the information on what is going on in the world. Remember that I told you that we are dealing with a bunch of occultists that are running the world. And I’ll have to just give you the gestalt of this; I can’t read all of this, but I’ll read parts of it.
223.)	Last week we showed you how the Supreme Court Building of Israel is a Masonic Temple. I also showed you how all of our leaders are satanic, and that is a fact; they all give the goat devil sign [with their hands]. Indeed, most of our leaders have been to Bohemian Grove where they practice the Care ceremony [banishing of worldly cares].
224.)	In effigy (I hope it is in effigy) they sacrifice a body by burning it on a great (bad) large altar before the owl Moloch for your leaders. President Ronald Reagan has been there; he is an honorary Mason. Nixon has been there; Clinton has been there; “Poppy” Bush has been there; “Baby” Bush has been there, and they all participate in the ceremony of Care. This is what we are dealing with. 
225.)	On December 21, 2012, a door was opened for the serpent to enter, which symbolizes false wisdom—(nobody knows this.) and chaos, chaos a plenty. Now serpents are symbols of the evil power needed for transformation, that is evil transformation. So therefore, you are going to be seeing more and more trouble.
226.)	And indeed, we are going to be seeing the Third World War. The Third World War has been planned out in 1871 [by Albert Pike, a Mason]. That is how evil the system is. World War I was planned out by Albert Pike; World War II was planned by Albert Pike; and World War III is planned by the Illuminati who will be fomenting hatred between the Arabs and Americans. And they are doing it deliberately.
227.)	  Do you know how to get a whole nation mad at you? How would you like the Arabs sending drones into your cities and blowing up houses with the grandmother and the grandfather and your baby neighbor and your sister and your nieces and nephews all being killed?
228.)	Well, they are sending drones in there to ramp things up deliberately to cause the Third World War. The latest [event] this week was Israel went into Syria with air power and blew up a building that was housing chemicals, and where there was a convoy of trucks to carry the chemicals.
229.)	 The point is that Russia has stated that if America goes in with air power, Russia will blow America off the face of the earth. This was a test mission to see if they [the Israelis] would be provoking the Russians and how the Russians would attack. They only put in one Israeli plane to fly low to the ground, sneak in and blast the building that held the chemicals as a test.
230.)	Let me tell you how diabolical this really is. They want World War Three; they want nuclear war; the neo-conservatives in the American Government want nuclear war! They are Masons and they know all about Albert Pike’s prophecies.
231.)	 There is going to be nuclear war; all the cities are going to be suffering in one form or another, either by the EMP pulse, or by the three cities that are going to be blown off the face of the earth. 
232.)	The elite have their underground cities, one to two miles across underground, because the Masonic elite are planning for a Third World War. They have their underground cities in order to escape the radiation. 
233.)	Prescott Bush financed Hitler. The Illuminati, the Masons, the Knights Templar—secret societies funded both sides of the war. It is a fact that Prescott Bush funded Hitler, and then we have “Pappy” Bush Sr. in office, and then we get “Baby” Bush in office, and they play the two sides against each other because they want to reduce the population of the earth.
234.)	 They see people as “worthless eaters;” these Masons look down at us all, look down at us Christians, especially. They look down on all common people as not being worth anything, just “worthless eaters.” They don’t care a “hoot” and they are going to bring in World War III.
235.)	And you have to stay close to God so that He can put you into a place of safety. Now if you are not close to God, I recommend your moving to the southern hemisphere, because all this radiation will be encircling the northern hemisphere. And if you don’t want to have radiation sickness, poisoning and nausea, you are going to have to move to the southern hemisphere.
236.)	 I’m saving this for the end because I didn’t want to have you upset during the broadcast when we talking about praying for our enemies. Pray for the satanic Masons that they change but we know they won’t because the script is already written. They are going to hide in the rocks in the ground in order for them to escape the radiation.
237.)	So what is going to happen for those who are not in a place of protection? Lamentation 4:4-19 says, “The tongue of the infant clung to the roof of its mouth for thirst. The young children ask for bread, but no one breaks it for them. Those slain by the sword are better off than those who die by hunger, whose life drains away, stricken for lack of fruit of the field.”
238.)	“The hands of the compassionate women have cooked, “cooked, cooked” their own children; they became food for them in the destruction of the daughter of my people. That’s the United States folks, and the Israelite nations: Great Britain, Australia, and France.
239.)	“Our pursuers were swifter that the eagles of the heaven; they pursued us on the mountains and wait for us in the wilderness,” Lamentations 4:4-19. 
240.)	Now Lamentations tells what is going to happen to modern-day Israel, so if you believe in your Bible, which you obviously do, you want to know that you want to draw close to God by clearly walking with Father, and rejoice with him by ceaseless prayer. That is how you rejoice.
241.)	  You don’t put your faith in your leaders because they are planning World War III. They are deliberately planning World War III so that they can annihilate Russia and China and control the whole world. The only thing that is stopping them now is Russia and China. So they are going to deliberately have it out with Russia and China.
242.)	Russia has all its underground cities for its leaders; America has all its underground cities for its leaders. There is going to be a Third World War; it was planned a hundred years ago, “a hundred years ago.” Your only hope is to draw close to God by praying unceasingly and walking with God and obeying Father; and then, then perhaps He will put you in a place of safety.
243.)	That is the reason for you to be praying unceasingly and drawing closer to God is to save your own skin, as well as to learn how to be one of God’s servants. Both are beneficial to you and to Father to be able to use an obedient man or woman whom Father can trust to apply all of His way of life, all of His Torah, every jot and title to be full of the Holy Spirit—oil—so that He can use you.
244.)	Your benefit is also to be in a place of safety if you draw close to God with obedience and pray unceasingly. That is the sermon for today.
245.)	Yes, it is pretty rough to be living in the end times. It is going to be horrendous, but we put our confidence in God.
246.)	We want to close with a hymn, “To Thee I Life My Soul.” We don’t have much time to sing this hymn because we only have one more service before the next new moon. So all please rise and turn to page 69 in our hymnals, page 22 in other hymnals. All sing out and praise Father because He is our only hope.
247.)	Now all please remain standing, bow your heads and face the north heaven in prayer.
248.)	“Almighty Father with Yeshua at your right hand side thank you for your great plan, thank you for your great patience with this horrible world. Thank you for your great understanding that the world has to be aware of this evil and has to go through this evil in order to understand that only your way works so that you can prove to all the heavenly hosts and to all of the myriad of angels, to the 24 elders, the four living creatures, and indeed to all of us that only your ways work. Thank you for your marvelous plan.
249.)	“I have a special prayer that you look after the people of The Obedient Church of God and put us in your place of safety so we can continue to learn more of your ways; and we ask your tender mercies to be on The Obedient Church of God.
250.)	“We now want you to look after the brethren in Pakistan; it is dangerous for them.
251.)	“We ask for your protection here on the hill from the authorities, from the Income Tax Department, and all the machinations of Satan. We ask that our workers don’t quit on us because they are scared of the Income Tax Department. But, though you slay us we still love you Father. It doesn’t matter what happens, we still love you.
252.)	“Look after the brethren in Pakistan; look after us in America, and indeed, all of The Obedient Church of God members around the world that are in scattered cities and places around the world.
253.)	“Please call in those you choose and the 16,000 that listen to our broadcast that tune in. Help them all to understand your ways: the way of love and reconciliation.
254.)	“Help us pray for our enemies; help us to be more like you; help us to walk with you so that we can constantly be rejoicing in spite of this evil world. 
255.)	“We put this all in the hollow of your hand and ask it all in Yeshua ha Mashiach’s holy, righteous name, our King of the earth who we are asking to return as soon as you can, Father. We ask this in Yeshua ha Mashiach’ s name. Amen.”
256.)	Yes indeed. Now we are going to close out here: remember how we were talking about sometimes our prayers aren’t answered, well, here is an idea for you in song, “He washed my eyes in tears so that you could see clearer.” 
And that’s the broadcast for today.
