Sabbath Day Sermon 161
Given by

1.)	“I can tell by your eyes that you have probably been crying forever.”

2.)	This is The Obedient Church of God.

3.)	“And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothing to you, they’re a mirror.”

4.)	Preaching God’s true doctrines that none of the offshoots are preaching.

5.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart, but if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”

6.)	Yes, you are breaking God’s heart, and I’m managing to hold on until all of the Church of God offshoots knock off the pagan days: Sky Father’s Day, Mother-goddess Day, Turkey-god Day, moving the Sabbath to Friday in half of the world. The stars in the sky don’t mean anything to the offshoots; they just want their own way.

7.)	“I don’t want to preach about it, how you broke God’s heart, but if I preach to you a little bit longer, if I preach won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart, God’s heart?”

8.)	Bonjour Paree France sez sez hours après midi le houre du dinier au France; 6 P.M. supper time in Paris; 9 A.M. on the West Coast Los Angeles, Seattle; 12 Noon on the East Coast Washington, New York City, Miami: Breakfast time, lunch time, suppertime, the perfect time for our spiritual feeding today.

9.)	“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 preach won’t you listen to God’s heart, God’s heart?”

10.)	Yes indeed, we are trying to get you to follow the words of the Bible. Is that so difficult for you to do? Deuteronomy 16:16, three times a year you are supposed to appear before God. Then you count up to three.

11.)	 Evidently none of the churches can count up to three. They don’t know what the number three means. They appear one time a year. What’s the matter with them? We’re going to be telling that to you today.

12.)	We’re going to be telling you all about how Cyrus was used by God while he was totally unconverted. We’re going to tell you how Mr. Armstrong was used by God, and he was totally unconverted.

13.)	And now, “now” you’ve got the Romans 9:28 work, now is the “short work” of God. The rest were all just preliminaries, getting you to start to obey. Now we’ve got the final work to get you spotless. So, you don’t believe that? Well, why don’t you look at the facts? “Why don’t you look at the facts?”

14.)	Why do the other Churches of God celebrate the devil’s days? And don’t tell me they are not the devil’s days, and don’t lie and say you can do whatever you want, because you can’t. You’ve got 364 other days in the year to worship God and not on Turkey-god Day, which has been around for 4,000 years, and it is celebrated in many countries to the Egyptian god Ra-Osiris.

15.)	You can’t march in Hitler’s parade and say you are a Christian. You don’t like that do you? Well, that’s the truth. So stop marching in Hitler’s parade. If you do well, you will be praised; if you keep on being stubborn, pig-headed, you will be called on it.

16.)	That goes for all of the offshoot Churches of God that head out for the restaurants right after services and start hiring people on the Sabbath Day and putting them to work, instead of telling the restaurant workers, stop working, come up to services. This is the Sabbath Day. Stop working; instead you tip them to work.

17.)	Look! This is the work of God. The facts are the facts. You are going to have stop paying your tithe to all those disobedient ministers. Maybe that will wake them up.

18.)	We don’t want any members; this is turning into an Elisha-type work. We are doing just fine, “we are doing just fine.” In fact we are not going to stop speaking the truth, that’s for sure.

19.)	So, we must enter the Throne Room before we give our praises to God, which none of the offshoots even have the brains to do. But first you introduce yourself to God, and then you sing a song to Him. So all please rise, face the North Heavens, arms outstretched in humble subservience and obedience, eyes closed, head bowed.

20.)	“Almighty, most-merciful and loving Father, our true guide, our true word, Yeshua at your right –hand side, help us to follow every jot and title of your word.

21.)	“Help the Worldwide Churches of God to repent; help the Living Church of God to repent; help the United Church of God to repent; help Philadelphia Ministries to repent; help Triumph Prophetic Ministries to repent; help the Church of God Eternal to repent; and help them all to repent. They are so evil.

22.)	“They are so evil, Father that all we can do is put out your Bible Words, including Deuteronomy 16:16, three times a year, which they refuse.

23.)	“So Father please bless The Obedient Church of God. Please inspire the service today, both the hearing and the speaking, and especially inspire the video tapes, because that’s when most of the ministers listen in because they want to know what’s going on next.

24.)	“And we’ve got them a little bit nervous telling the members not to send in their tithes to the Living Church of God, United Church of God, Triumph Prophetic Ministries, Church of God the Eternal. Father, you work it out. We’ll just keep on preaching your truth, every jot and title.

25.)	“Be with the brethren in Pakistan, 200 plus of them; finances are tight; can’t afford food so we put them in your hands. 

26.)	“We thank you for your great plan; we will just keep on following whatever you give us in new information and documentation.

27.)	“Be with the sick, and right at the beginning of the broadcast help heal Darren Clarke’s wrist, and Cece’s wrist also. That’s two of them. And Melodie Pettyjohn’s tumors that have been removed. Help her to heal. So Father, we put those prayers right at the beginning, which is unusual, because they are important, Father. So we always do what is important. We don’t follow protocol; we follow what is important. 

28.)	“So now, Father, we direct this service into your hands, and ask this all in Yeshua ha Mashiach our soon arriving King and Priest, the King of the world’s name, Yeshua ha Mashiach and by His authority. Amen.”

29.)	Now that we are in the Throne Room we can humbly sing our praises to Father. So take your beautiful 1934 Hymnals. We got the last copy. The original hymnal were about 8 inches high, 6 inches wide and were brown, so we made the exact same hymnal with the exact same words and put on a fuchsia royal color for a cover, which is much better than a brown dank cover.

30.)	So please turn to page 115, page 60 in other hymnals; we are going to praise Father; please all remain standing, “O Thou the Shepherd of Israel Art.” Sing out because this is your offering. We are supposed to give an offering today to God. This is it, the fruit of your lips, not money, but your heart.

31.)	If you are just going to sit there and not sing, that shows God what your heart is like. So get up and follow along with the words if you don’t have a hymnal, “O Thou the Shepherd of Israel Art.”

32.)	We said, no more shall we wander, we told God no longer shall we be delighting in shame: Mother-goddess Day, the mother of all gods for you to give gifts to  your dear sweet mother, when you have got 364 other days; nor Sky Father’s Day, nor Turkey-god Day. But you delight in Turkey-god Day; delight in your shame, the travesty.

33.)	Turn to page number 116, “Thou Shepherd of Israel Doth Keep.” This will be your last time to be singing these hymns because the new moon is coming, and it should be on Sunday night or Monday night. Therefore, we are going to have a New Moon Day service, probably, it could be Monday. But you’ll have to tune in, same time, same place. 

34.)	Turn to page number 116, page 61 in other hymnals, and sing out to Father and He does keep you in your time of need. Or don’t sing so that God can know that you don’t need Him, and He won’t listen to you in your time of need, because you won’t sing to Him to give ear in time of need. Pretty clear.

35.)	Amen to that. Give ear in time of need. Please lead us like a flock of sheep.  

36.)	Now we turn ahead. Remember, I said these songs were meant to be sung in order so that you can continue a thought in petition to Father. Let’s turn ahead to page number 118, page 62 in other hymnals. You are now going to continue in your praise of Father. You have had your petitions, so now you are going to have your praise.

37.)	Your petition was give ear in time of need. You sang that out unless you are a disobedient brat and sat on the couch and did nothing, so if He doesn’t answer, you don’t wonder why. Psalm 81, “Praise the Eternal” with a song. All sing out.

38.)	Amen to that. And today is a feast day. So any of you out there who have problems, and you want to fast, you don’t fast on the Sabbath, and especially this is directed to the Living Church of God. The Sabbath is a feast day.

39.)	You want to proclaim a fast for your own disobedient and sick for the last year, you don’t do it on the Sabbath. You do it on a Wednesday, a Thursday. You can have a Bible Study on a Wednesday night. That work for you. 

40.)	The purpose of all this attacking the offshoot Churches of God is that they think they are Philadelphians, and I don’t want them to be in the Lake of Fire, because they aren’t Philadelphians, and a lot of them are my friends, and I don’t want my friends to be in the Lake of Fire. So I am going to keep it up; I’m going to keep on admonishing them, rebuking them, and you are commanded to rebuke those who are disobedient.

41.)	Now today we’ll be showing you how Cyrus was used and that’s where Herbert W. Armstrong fits in, because last week we showed you how Herbert W. Armstrong had been fornicating with his daughter Dorothy for ten years. 

42.)	And if you are converted, if you are a converted man you cannot fornicate for ten years with your daughter. Can it be any clearer than that? You have got to change. You have got to repent. But Herbert W. Armstrong didn’t do that. He refused to do that.

43.)	 And he took his daughter Dorothy dancing on Friday nights, yeah, on Sabbath night. And he said it was because the congregation members were too, too well-trained and the congregation members would not bother to be at the dance hall.

44.)	We are doing this broadcast right now to help show you the truth. And the only way you are going to hear the truth is through The Obedient Church of God right here. 

45.)	So we can’t come to the door right now. We can’t do anything regarding messages. We are continuing on with this broadcast, and the broadcast will over in two hours. So all of you listen up and to our visitors out there realize that it will be two hours before the broadcast ends. 

46.)	Now we’ve got some dynamite teaching today, and how the Bible states that you will be beaten if you didn’t know. So even if you didn’t know, you will be beaten, and it is straight from the Bible. And you can’t do it your way. You have to do it God’s way. That’s the only way.

47.)	There is a Great White Throne Judgment and a book is going to be opened, and the dead are going to be judged by what is written in the book [of life] and by what you have done, Revelation 20:11-15.

48.)	Now if you are not found written in the book, whether you like it or not, you’ll be thrown into the Lake of Fire. That is what Revelation 20:15 says. And it is sorry, “sorry, sorry” that you have to be judged by what you did.

49.)	It says, “death and Hades gave up the dead…and all are judged by what they have done,” verse 13. “Done,” that is how you are judged by what you actually do, not what you say. Not that you say, “I love the Lord, I love the Lord,” but love is obedience.

50.)	Love is keeping the commandments, and you are saved by grace through faith; but grace is not license to sin for the rest of your life, like Herbert W. Armstrong did. Grace is a short period of time for you to repent in.

51.)	 And I hope Armstrong isn’t thrown into the Lake of Fire, but definitely he will have to come up in the second resurrection, if he is lucky enough to, because even to the end of his life, neighbors saw a limousine pull up with two hookers in it. They had to be hookers because, why would every Saturday night two young women be coming out of a limo into Herbert W. Armstrong’s mansion?

52.)	Remember, I showed you last week regarding Herbert W. Armstrong, how he stripped the hooves off the sheep. That’s right, “he stripped the hooves off the sheep.”

53.)	Armstrong was dining with gold silverware, gold plates, million dollar art work in his house; millions of dollars of art work, and [he had] a ten million dollar plane. Can you deny any of that? The celebrities don’t even have gold tableware. [He had] solid gold tableware, Steuben crystal, $5,000.00 a glass: that’s where the tithes and offerings went. Wake up!

54.)	Now Armstrong did restore 18 truths. Armstrong was used by God, but so was Cyrus, “so was Cyrus.” 

55.)	God has a “short work,” Romans 9:28, and it is my challenge if you can find any other work in the whole world that is following God’s rules, God’s Bible, and that includes telling you that you cannot move the Sabbath Day to Friday, the sixth-day, in half the world. On the International Date Line 1883 the Sabbath Day was moved to Friday in half the world, and you cannot follow that.  

56.)	Now that means that all of the offshoot Churches of God for all over the world are following the wrong day, and are working on God’s Sabbath in half of the world. Are they going to repent? Well, God will have to judge them, won’t he? \

57.)	God will have to judge you and me if we don’t repent. Don’t think you are exempt and say, I thought God would understand, and I was doing my best. No. You are judged by what is written in the books, “you are judged by what is written in the books,” not by what you think God will do, but by what the Book states that God will do.

58.)	We just read in Revelation at the end of the book that you are judged by what you do. “Death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them, and all were judged by what they had done. And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death (the lake of fire). And anyone whose name was not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” [Revelation 20:13-15]

59.)	You know today millions of people identify themselves as Christian, and at face value that sounds wonderful, but if you look at all the branches each practicing something different that is not in the Bible, and then you look at The Obedient Church of God and it is practicing everything that is in the Bible, who are you going to believe?

60.)	Richard Prior’s joke was where he was caught in bed with another woman, and his wife catches him, and Richard Prior says, who are you going to believe, your eyes or me? 

61.)	So who are you going to believe, the lying Living Church of God, the lying United Church of God, the lying Triumph Prophetic Ministry, the lying Church of God the Eternal? Try taking me to court because I can prove you are lying, because you keep the Sabbath on Friday in half the world and that you say you obey God.

62.)	I can’t help it if you are a liar. If I call you one, it’s your fault for being a liar, not my fault for calling you one. Plain fact. You don’t like that, do you? Well, repent then. Repent. Stop holding the Sabbath on Friday in half the world.

63.)	 Stop being like the Pope, the man with the $5,000.00 hat; that’s what he’s got: Dagon the “fish god,” with the wide mouth at the top. Down the back of his neck the “Poop” has got folds down his back so he looks like a great big fish with his arms covered with a big fish mouth on top of his head, open wide.

64.)	So the Pope moved the Sabbath Day to Sunday. Why? Because he is of the devil. He is not of God. And you move the Sabbath Day to Friday because you are of the devil, and it is the will of your father the devil to move the Sabbath Day to Friday, unless, “unless” you change. So stop listening to the devil.

65.)	We told you you’ve got to serve somebody; we even sang it to you a number of times. The words go, “You’ve got to serve somebody; it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you are going to have to serve somebody.” So why are you serving the devil?

66.)	Why do you have a Mother-goddess Day, since you have 364 other days for your dear sweet mother? Why do you celebrate Sky Father’s Day when you’ve got 364 other days? Why have you got Turkey-god Day when you’ve got 364 other days? 

67.)	Why do you go to restaurants and hire restaurant workers on the Sabbath Day instead of telling the restaurant workers to come to Sabbath Services on the Sabbath Day? Why? Why do you move the Sabbath Day to Friday in half of the world? Answer. Because you are of your father the devil, and it is his will that you would want to do.

68.)	“I did it my way,” all the songs are written by Satan, always have been. So are all the compositions of all of the classical composers, especially Wagner, devil-influenced.

69.)	So when we tell you things, when we play you songs to tell you to change your evil ways, and inform you to change your evil ways, why don’t you do it? Because you are of your father the devil. The facts say so; it is not us that are saying it. The facts are saying it. You are the ones with the disobedient, evil ways. It is not our fault that you are allowing the devil to trick you. 

70.)	  You want to follow the ways of the devil, the days of the devil? It is not our fault. You see this sword over my shoulder? Remember I told you that the sword of the Spirit is actually a dagger that is 18 inches long and it is used for stabbing and slicing, “stabbing and slicing, stabbing and slicing” and you are going to be sliced and stabbed spiritually until you and Torah are thrown into the lake of fire.

71.)	So God will dice and slice and stab you also, if you are lucky enough to get into the second resurrection, after a thousand years, the second resurrection. I don’t want to explain all that. 

72.)	Bear Note: If you know of the second resurrection, and you think, well, I’m not going to repent now, I’m going to repent later, you’ll go straight into the lake of fire, because God is no fool, and you can’t play games with God. 

73.)	If you are called, now is the time judgment is on the House of the Lord, “now is the time judgment is on the House of the Lord.” 

74.)	Now this is the last “ten years of awe” that are running right now. It is your last opportunity if you have been called, if you have been called now in this earth’s age. So, you think you are going to change your evil ways or are you going to keep practicing your evil ways? 

75.)	You know you are holding Christ’s sacrifice as an insult to Christ because you continue on sinning, “you continue on sinning.” You know that we are not supposed to buy and sell on the Sabbath Day, and yet you head straight for a restaurant. You take money out of your wallet, or your credit card, and that is buying, whether you say so or not.

76.)	That is buying on the Sabbath Day, you are buying food, and you are buying services: you are buying a cashier, a cook, a waitress, and sometimes a hostess to seat you, and you are buying on the Sabbath Day—that’s the “mark of the beast” on you. 

77.)	We’re trying to shake you up of the strong hold, the “strong hold” that is over you, and that is wrapped around your arm by Satan: your wrong thinking. And that we are really going to show you the world’s wrong thinking, and that nobody knows what is really going on in the world, except The Obedient Church of God.

78.)	Nobody, among the church leaders anyway, knows about the underground cities and how men are all prepared to hide themselves in the rocks. Yes. They don’t know about that. They don’t know that Herbert Armstrong wasn’t converted; they revere Herbert Armstrong.

79.)	So we are telling you that you have got to change, and not go by another man’s doctrine like Herbert W. Armstrong’s doctrine who went dancing on Friday night with his daughter Dorothy when he could escape and get out on trips. So you are going to preach Armstrong’s doctrines?

80.)	 So Armstrong preached that it is just fine to have to have Mother-goddess Day. Wrong. Same goes for Sky Father’s Day, you can’t have it. The same goes for Turkey-god Day, you have got to be pure, and you have got to be spotless.

81.)	 So you want to preach any other doctrine? You are not to learn the way of the Gentiles. You are not supposed to learn their customs. Is that any clearer in English? You are not supposed to learn the way of the Gentiles, so what are you doing practicing the way of the Gentiles unless you are evil and unless Satan has got you tricked? So sad.

82.)	And you ministers -- Meredith, Luker, and Dankenbring-- you say you will just continue on with your Turkey-god Day. 

83.)	 Even the Church of God the Eternal says: Mother-goddess Day, Sky Father’s Day, Turkey-god Day, we’ll let you choose. They don’t even have the spine to tell their members the days are pagan and they are Babylonian days, and you are not supposed to have anything to do with them.

84.)	God will vomit you out of his mouth. You are therefore vomit material. How do you like that? You are vomit material. You can do one of two things. You get your minister to start repenting and get back to the truth, or come into the safety and protection of The Obedient Church of God.

85.)	We don’t want you here. That’s right. We don’t want you here as members. You are nothing but trouble and argumentative, and you won’t change your evil ways. You refuse. You know what the devil’s sign is, why I don’t want you here is that you’ve got the mark of the beast on you. 

86.)	You’ve got the Babylonian days and holidays, you’ve got the Sabbath on Friday in half of the world. That’s the mark of Satan’s system. That’s the mark of disobedience.

87.)	 Bear Note: The devil’s mark on you is when you practice his days. God’s mark on you is when you practice the Sabbath Day properly God’s way.

88.)	So you want to be sealed? Put the mark of God the Father on you and obey, “obey, obey;” that means do not learn the way of the Gentiles; don’t have the Gentile’s pagan days. If you say you are doing them to God or not, it doesn’t matter. They are pagan days, they’ve always been pagan days, they’ll still be pagan days after you are dead and your big yapping mouth is shut, they’ll continue to be pagan days.

89.)	Well, I’ll tell you, we will disfellowship any member who practices those days. We’ll leave it up to you, because we don’t want members. We’re not looking for members. This is turning into a witness work, because we’ve gotten to the point where the time is too short. 

90.)	And I’m not going to set up a 200,000 member church. That’s work and there isn’t time. There’s only time to do the witness work. We don’t have thirty years like Armstrong; time is too short.  We will have another seven years, as soon as the seven years start. When the final seven years start, there isn’t time to get a congregation started and to get you all to repent.

91.)	So, I’m trying to pull you out of your satanic household. You are in a satanic household and the proof is you serve satanic days. Everyone moves God’s feast days one day early, two days late, one day late, two days early.  You won’t go on the Internet to see when the New Moon is; you’ll go by an averaging calendar. Why? Because you are evil.

92.)	You’ve got evil ways. You won’t give up your evil, “evil” ways. If you hold on to your evil ways, I can tell you by the authority of Revelation that if you are not spotless, you won’t end up in the First Resurrection, you will not be in any place of safety.

93.)	You refuse to put God’s Sabbath Day on to the seventh-day of the week; Living Church of God, United Church of God, Church of God the Eternal, Triumph Prophetic Ministry, you refuse to put God’s Sabbath Day on the seventh-day, into the Lake of Fire you will go. 

94.)	And if you won’t listen to this preaching, it doesn’t bother us at all, we’ll wave to you at the gulf. So long, it’s been good to know you, but I realize we can’t have you around because you are nothing but trouble. You want your own ways. 

95.)	Well, God’s sword of truth over my shoulder here cuts you all up. So, have your satanic days, have the days of the devil, have your Gentile days, see where it gets you.

96.)	So now, we’ve got so much information to teach you more, and also we have announcements, but we are going to teach you about Cyrus. Cyrus was not converted; he was just like Mr. Armstrong who was unconverted. We can say that because Mr. Armstrong fornicated for ten years, and because Mr. Armstrong never denied it.

97.)	 But you are fornicating with the devil right now. You are sleeping with the devil because you are having Mother-goddess Day, the mother of all the gods, and you are having Sky Father’s Day, and you are going to have Turkey-god Day. So you are going to keep your evil ways and you are going to sleep in the devil’s bed.

98.)	I’m going to play a song to help drive it in. Last week I played one of Santana’s tunes. He’s one of my favorite guitarists. Don’t give me any junk about these types of songs, because all of the classical music was written  by Satan and yet you play it.

99.)	And don’t be two-faced. You go to church and you sing hymns and then you come home and you play a different type of music. That’s being two-faced.

100.)	We at The Obedient Church of God are one-faced. We do what we say and we say what we do. And we play these songs in order to drive home the point, and we also listen to these songs in our daily lives. They can help us. 

101.)	Now I know more about these songs than anyone else in the Churches of God. If you ever want to take me up on that, I’ll have a private conversation about recording and what goes on in the recording of the songs, and the pressing of the records. Well, they used to be in the discs, the tapes, same difference.

102.)	So now we want you to change your evil ways. Music played, “You’ve Got to Change,” baby (church) running after pagan days. You make God look like a clown. Yes, you’ve got to change, Church. The Church is a woman.

103.)	Yeah, before you shoot off your big mouth, let’s hear a minister play like that. Who can play a guitar like that? You shoot off your mouth but it’s no good. Oh no, it sounds like a rap song. It’s no good. But I have news for you. God likes all types of music, “all types.” And I like all types of music.  I love hymns. I love Santana. I better watch out; I shouldn’t say the word “love.” 

104.)	There are so many “snaky” ministers out there that twist words. I listen to Santana, and I love God’s hymns. Santana was one of the greatest guitarists of the world. That particular tune that I pulled- up, has been listened to by 1,236,580 people plus you. 

105.)	I’ll tell you a little about music. Music is neither good nor evil;  it is how you use  it. A gun is neither good nor evil; it is how you use it. Remember I told you that they are taking away our guns because they want to control us, just like Hitler took away all the guns in Germany so he could control the German people.

106.)	You know those psyops-operations that I told you about months ago, all the way back to Gabrielle Gifford and the judge were shot down because they were going to go against the fast and furious operation of the CIA selling arms. 

107.)	The shooting in the theater was a psyops-operation. I told you that exactly when it happened, so in order to get the guns away from the United States people. And these people who are running the Government are so evil there is nothing that they aren’t capable of.

108.)	Remember how I told you the Titanic was sunk by running it into an ice field at full throttle; how the rivets in the Titanic were all made faulty; how the captain was a Jesuit under instructions to sink it.

109.)	 I told you how the ship was built with compartments that weren’t sealed. They had walls in the compartments that only went up a foot or two from the ceiling so that when the ship tilts on the first rupture by the ice with the faulty rivets, then the first compartment fills with water and the ship tilts, and the second compartment fills, and the third compartment fills, it was a death ship from the beginning. We are the only ones that know these things. 

110.)	Yet we try to put up with all your abuse. We’re the ones who know all about music. We know all about the music industry. I’m telling you guns are neither good or bad, neither are songs.

111.)	 Of course, if the lyrics are Satanic, you don’t sing them. We are talking about music, because you are the great listeners of the classics that are written by demon-possessed composers, and you can look that up and research it for yourself. We haven’t got time.

112.)	So, that was Santana from Woodstock from 1969. Pretty good stuff. Well, we want you to know that The Obedient Church of God is balance, “balanced, balanced,” and we follow God’s ways, and we know of Satan’s deceits, and we know all about Satan’s deceits in his songs and everything else, but we want to drive home the point.

113.)	You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby (churches), woman (churches), you have got to change your evil ways. Will you do that Living Church of God, United Church of God, Church of God the Eternal? “You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby,” sings Santana.

114.)	You’ve got to change churches, running and hiding. We’ll probably leave it at that, you’ve got to change. Okay. More people are tuning in, more people are listening. You are beginning to take to music that you probably haven’t heard before. 

115.)	Now we are going to get into the message to try to get you to learn how to praise God properly on the correct days and not work on the Sabbath Day, how to get you to listen to God’s voice.
116.)	Now I want to get into some of the other aspects of God’s voice. There is so much information we have to give you to get you out of the lake of fire, because you are heading for the lake of fire. 
 *  *  *
117.)	For now let’s give you some of the announcements of what is going on in the world. And yes, what’s probably going to happen is that one of the Arab countries, probably Syria, is going to attack Israel; it is just a question of time.

118.)	And it is going to come out of Damascus, because I told you months ago Damascus, Syria, is the strongest Arab nation, and is the nation where all the arms come through, that it is a major hub for shipment of arms for the Arab countries.

119.)	Now Damascus will be nuked, blown off the map. I’ve told you what is going on; they are just waiting for the right time. They are waiting for the right time because last week the Russisan warships were carrying on drills in the Mediterranean.

120.)	Do you know why we have got to overthrow the Syrians? Because Russia’s Putin said, “You use air power against my buddy in Syria, and we (Russia) will blow you Americans off the face of the earth.”  That’s what Russia’s Putin said.

121.)	 The U.S.A. has “chickened out,” backed-off; it has lost its bluff. 

122.)	So, just to show that Russia isn’t kidding, August 11, I’ll read the exact report:     “ ‘Russia joined its naval air force on a joint mission in the Mediterranean, and conducted a two-day tactical exercises involving live fire, ammunition drills,’ the Russian Defense Ministry said.” 

123.)	“The task force comprises three large amphibious assault ships, two meustrashimy-class frigates and udaloy class destroyer and two support ships from Russia’s Northern Baltic and Black Sea Fleets.” This isn’t nickel and dime stuff, folks. This is a big-time task force.

124.)	Let’s read on, “ ‘In the past two days task force help, tactical exercise, which  included firing drills involving on-board artillery and missile systems,’ the Ministry said Friday.” It goes on and on. Enough said.

125.)	There is a Syrian port of Tartus. In conclusion it says that the Russian task force will not call at the Russian supply and maintenance facility at the Syrian port of Tartus. That is because they are staying on active duty. You see you have got to read between the lines. Why wouldn’t they go into port at Tartus? Because they want to remain active.

126.)	I wouldn’t be surprised if we are on deaf-call one right now. Deaf- call one is just before all the bombs and missiles go off. Yeah. Well, you don’t hear this on the news. 

127.)	And we remember we don’t live in a free-society because all the news broadcasts are by the corporate industrialists and they don’t let you hear the news.

128.)	Just like in Russia, let me give you the update on the band in Russia. Remember I told you three members of the band that sang against Putin, they sang, they performed an anti-Putin song and the _______attacked. Well, three members were sentenced to two years in jail for singing an anti-Putin song. 

129.)	The same way that if we speak out against the Government, we are hung-up on a no-fly list, and right now we are one below no-fly. Yet we are speaking out against the satanic leaders. 

130.)	Now three band members, female singers, are in jail now for two years in the context that they were speaking against Putin. Now another group of dissident Russians were given massive prison-time simply for participating in a legal anti-Putin rally. Four hundred people were detained on the May 6th rally, if we go back, which took place on the eve of the inauguration of Vladimir Putin for his third term as President.

131.)	Sixteen of the 400 demonstrators remain in custody, and at least 12 of them have been charged for calling for mass disorder and assaulting police officers. 

132.)	 This is all the way it is going to be with us if we speak out against these evil leaders who blew up the World Trade Towers as proven by one fact, the towers fell at free-fall speed and you could see the explosions blowing outside, and you could see the beams flying out from one of the detonations.

133.)	Buildings can’t fall at free-fall speed unless they are blown-up. But building seven fell down all by itself. It wasn’t hit and it wasn’t on fire. That’s what we are dealing with. These people are capable of anything 

134.)	That movie theater, that’s a psyops-operation. They wounded 58 and 12 were killed, which totaled 70. They don’t care who they kill as long as they get the guns off the streets. And if the whole theater was full of guns, that psyops- operator would have been cut to ribbons. And there wouldn’t be 58 people wounded, there would have been 2 or 3 wounded.

135.)	The perpetrator, the guy shooting at the audience would be cut to ribbons if anyone in the audience had a gun.

136.)	In Sweden everyone has a gun. You have to have a gun; it’s the law. You have to have a gun, you have to be armed in Sweden.

137.)	Bear Note: Do you know why this is happening inside America? Because we have too many personal guns. What happens is that they are bringing in foreign troops in your country. All of the residents, all of the people in the houses have guns and they just start picking off soldiers one by one, the foreign troops. 

138.)	That’s why Japan never invaded the United States, because there were too many guns in the houses of United States citizens. But now, “now” they are going to try to take the guns away from everybody, so that they the neo-cons can take over totally, “totally,” and to protect themselves, “to protect themselves.” That’s why they want to take away the guns, because of future riots to protect themselves.

139.)	Right now the people are protesting in the streets; they should be protesting in the houses of the politicians with their pitchforks. They should be protesting at the houses of multi-industrialists. That’s where they should be protesting.

140.)	Anyway, Japan wouldn’t invade the United States because Japan knew that the American citizens had too many guns and pick off the Japanese soldiers one by one by one.

141.)	New Topic: Islam is rising. Islam is making a call for one-world domination. In the Mid- East they are going to try to set up their own world order—that’s the rise of the King of the South. People have this all confused. This one world domination of Islam is actually the setting-up of the King of the South, and the whole Middle East is going to be dominated by one leader, which is waiting for him to appear to see who the caliphate is.
It is just a question of time.

142.)	Oh by the way, the United States is trying to set up the Muslim Brotherhood. The United States intends to give Muslim Brotherhood, that’s right, you heard that first here; the United States Government intends to give the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt more aid to fight. It is just unbelievable. 

143.)	According to former senior IDF, Israeli Defense Force officer, an Algamor Terror victim chairman Meyer Indor, all right, this is coming from the Israeli Armed Forces that the United States is giving arms to the Muslim Brotherhood.

144.)	Why do you think Israel and the United States aren’t turning around too well? Well, Israel is telling the truth here that the United States Government intends to give to the Muslim Brotherhood more aid.

145.)	Just you know what is going on that Israeli journalists support U. S. President Barack Obama waging a full-scale war against the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu. That’s right. They are, let’s read it again. This is an official report. 

146.)	“Israeli journalists support U. S. President Barack Obama, the journalists are waging a full-scale war against the Israeli Government. So now the Israeli journalists in Israel are going against the Israeli Government. 

147.)	More news for you. Iran will be able to build a nuclear bomb by October 1st. The report says, “At its present rate of enrichment, Iran will have 250 killograms of 20% grade uranium, exactly enough to build its first nuclear bomb in six weeks, and 2 to 4 bombs by 2013.” Now where did I get that? Debka Military Intelligence source.

148.)	I know one of these times I’m going to go on a site to where I’m going to have a black helicopter swoop down on me because I shouldn’t have gone on to that site. But I’ll give you the information here. Iran should be able to have a nuclear bomb. 

149.)	Now does anybody know how many Muslims there are? You know how many Americans there are, don’t you? 307 million. There are twice as many Muslims; there are 670 million Muslims. That’s a lot of people, 670 million. That’s a lot.

150.)	Two-thirds of a billion Muslims expect the Madi. The last Islamic Iman, they believe, will come and rule the world to arrive. That’s according to the new PEW research poll. See, we’re giving you the real deal here, and real information from real sources. You get it first from The Obedient Church of God.

151.)	Now, carrying on, we’re dealing with Romney and he wants to cut domestic spending. Well, let me give you a quote. 

152.)	Bear Note: Remember we were talking about guns and crime. The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor. “The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a common slander on the poor.”

153.)	Bear Note: There are more thefts, more money stolen by the rich, “by the rich;” there is more crime by the rich people than by the poor. Take that to the bank. Excuse the pun. There is more crime by the rich than by the poor.

154.)	And all this crony capitalism and the injustices from it, and it is dominant, the crony capitalism is dominant in the American society and natural injustices. Do you know that there $1.6 billion missing from M. F. Global? That is $1.6 billion of the people’s, the common man’s funds are missing from M. F. Global. 

155.)	 The reason I mention this now is that two days ago the Justice Department won’t bring itself to go against, or to even question John Corzine, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, former New Jersey Senator, former CEO of the fraudulently destroyed M. F. Global, and perennial liar here, John Corzine. They won’t even question him, and there is $1.6 billion missing.

156.)	   The rich steal more than the poor steal. According to the report, in particular the Justice Department can’t bring itself forth to ask Corzine what happened to the $1.6 billion of customer funds that he allegedly disappeared while he was overseeing M. F. Global. 

157.)	In a ten month, “ten month,” long investigation, they didn’t ask the President of the company where the $1.6 billion of the client’s funds went, because they are all in league together, “they are all in league together.” 

158.)	Same way you won’t ask your ministers why they are celebrating Sky Father’s Day, why they are celebrating Mother-goddess Day, why they are celebrating Gentile Turkey-god Day when they have got 364 other days to praise God, because you are in league the same bed with the devil. The same way Corzine is in league with the legislators and the judiciary, they are all together; they are in league; they are all one big cover-up.

159.)	And only, “only, only” The Obedient Church of God is addressing the spiritual as well as the physical. Well, there is going to come a reckoning, “there’s going to come a reckoning.” 

160.)	With all our money with this election coming up here, it doesn’t matter who you elect, nothing is going to change, and nothing will change. And if you think you are going to elect the Republicans because they are against abortion, why hasn’t abortion been outlawed when George Bush, “baby bush,” was in office? Why?

161.)	 Why wasn’t abortion outlawed? Well, they are against abortion. The President by Executive Order outlawed abortion, because they are liars. They are just succoring you in

162.)	The Republicans have expansion of the military, and they want domestic cuts in this coming budget, and the Republicans in Washington are to have a welfare state, and since 1945 we’ve never cut back on military spending. It all keeps going up, ‘up, up, up and up and up” to support the congressional, military, industrial complex, not the military complex; it is the congressional, military, industrial complex.

163.)	And if anybody tries to stop the congressional, military, industrial complex, they will be assassinated. Same way Kennedy was assassinated; same way John Jr. was killed in a plane crash, the same way Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash.

164.)	 Anybody who steps in and tries to do something, that actually has a chance to do something, because everybody would have voted for John Jr. after seeing the picture of John Jr. salute his dead father’s coffin when he was a little 2 ½ foot high boy. Well, they had to kill the little boy when he grew up [age] 21, 22. And for sure he would be a “shoe in” for President. Same way they killed Robert Kennedy.

165.)	Okay. Let’s not worry any more about the world situation. We’ll give you a lot of information, but we’ll give you a head start to know when the war is actually going to start. We won’t tell you how we know that, but we’ll tell you two weeks before the war actually starts.

 *  *  *
166.)	I’ll give The Obedient Church of God news. We finally got the dozer out of the water hole. Remember I told you there is an underground stream running through this hill all the way to Maryville, and unfortunately the dozer hit it and got caught in it, and it’s about 8 feet wide. 

167.)	 Well, I got the dozer out. I had two men working on it for two days digging it out, but they couldn’t get it out. So what do you do? You pray about it, and then you actually go to war. So I actually climbed on the dozer, and they had broken chains, we’re talking big time towing chains and snapping them.

168.)	And we had a 17,500 pound winch. That’s right, 17,000, not 1700. We had 17,000 pounds of pull and we couldn’t budge the dozer. So what did I do? I prayed. Then I got on the dozer and God led me to start it up and jam it into gear because water had frozen all the clutches so that there wasn’t any clutching for it and you couldn’t get it into gear.
169.)	Long story short, I’m a bear, and I took a chance and I jammed it into gear and it climbed out after two days of the other men working on it.

170.)	There are certain times when you’ve got to take chances and just go and get things done. The same thing with the back hoe that was at the bottom of the hill. And the guy wasted a whole half of a day getting it down the hill; they had a safety line on it and everything else. Well, then they wanted to go home and we wasted a whole day.

171.)	So at that point I got on the back hoe without any safety chains and not forwards, but actually backwards just slammed the machine back up the hill to get the day’s job over with. No safety chains, no anything. Sometimes you’ve got to have the guts to do things.

172.)	I remember one of my friends on construction hit a gas line, and naturally the whole neighborhood was cleared, and the emergency measures team was arriving, and my buddy, the boss, the owner of the company looked down there, and he went straight in to where the gas line was torn-up and took his knife, which he always carried, and he cut the gas line even more.

173.)	And there was gas spraying out of the line that was cut free and waving, and he grabbed the line and this was actual gas, and if there was a spark from anything there was gas all over everything because it had been blown for about 15 minutes. He grabs the line and bends it over itself  because it is a poly line, a heavy 1 inch line, and ties it off.

174.)	In the meantime the emergency team was trying to get all their equipment together with their great big experts and everything else. That’s how you’ve got to do things. You’ve got to be a David; you’ve got to do things.

175.)	So, I’d driven the back hoe up the hill at full tilt backwards, and I got the dozer out of the water hole by forcing it, by jamming it in and didn’t get hurt. You can get hurt, yes, you can, but God has always protected me. I won’t do stupid things, but I’ll do things that needed to be done.

176.)	We have an update on announcements here about people that are hurt that I mentioned in the opening prayer: Darren’s wrist. He damaged his wrist in a bicycle accident where he had a crash with his bicycle. He broke his wrist in eight places, and Darren didn’t overdo it with the doctor; he just had a cast put on. He’s not going to get an operation. Pray that his wrist heals because he is using the DSMO in order to speed the healing. 

177.)	And Cece’s wrist. Pray for her. And Melodie Pettyjohn had a successful operation; the operation went well, two tumors were removed from her kidney. She’s fine. She is recuperating now. There are health updates. All members are healing.

178.)	Let me tell you a little sidebar here about doctors. Some of you know that my father was a doctor. All my girlfriends were ORTs, operating room technicians, and anesthesiologist workers.

179.)	Bear Note: The problem with the medical system, which is Satan’s medical system. They aren’t searching for causes; they are searching for the cures. Why aren’t they searching for the causes [of the disease]? Answer, because there isn’t any money in searching for the causes. Western medicine is a state of pills and profits the two ps.

180.)	In China you don’t pay a doctor unless he makes you well. How would you like to have that one in the United States?

181.)	Bear Note: They [medical doctors] aren’t searching for causes; they are only searching for cures. And they have to admit that the products that they sell as cures are coated in toxic oil derived chemicals.

182.)	And a good measure of the food we eat is coated in other chemicals from herbicides, pesticides. The chemical industry is one of the biggest profit-making industries. So we’ve got a system of Satan that is trying to kill us as they aren’t interested in searching for the causes, the causes of the disease, and the life style that is necessary.

183.)	And they are basically conscienceless because they don’t state the fact.

184.)	Bear Note: The world is run by conscienceless, they have no conscience, monsters who want to profit from human disease, because they aren’t searching for the causes. They just want to make money on the cures.

185.)	 And they have made the whole industry of why you get sick in the first place is your food. God never intended you to get sick. And the shipping of your food, and the wrong harvesting of your food, and the storage of your food. 

186.)	Did you know that onions come from Europe, tomatoes come from Mexico? We’re talking about 3,000 miles, 1500 miles shipping of these in mass conglomerates.

187.)	So you want to prevent disease? Well, here is a letter from Ozelia Welling, and she has mentioned about disease and how to prevent it, because that is what you want to do. You want to prevent the disease. She sent this on August 17th and it’s titled, “Prepare Food from Scratch.” Remember I told you that if man made it, don’t eat it.

188.)	 Now we have Ozelia Welling with a header here. “Dear Pastor Bear, Indeed, lunch time is the time to go to the garden and gather the vine-ripened, sun-kissed red tomatoes created by God to delight out taste senses. You recently told us to eat food that is garden fresh rather than eat food that is processed and put in packages or cans.

189.)	“In Hulda Clark’s book, ‘Cure for All Diseases,’ she writes that people need to grow their own food so they can prepare their own vegetables and soups and salads and even buy grains to cook for cereals and bake their own bread.

190.)	“There are markets that sell wholesome foods throughout the store such as the PCCs and Marlene’s in the Seattle, Washington, area. Other stores, such as Safeway and Krogers, have designated areas where they display organic produce and have frozen organic vegetables and fruits that don’t have added sugar, salt, and preservatives. 

191.)	“It is important to buy foods that are not GMOs, genetically modified organisms, which are not labeled like the organically grown produce is.

192.)	“When buying meat, try buffalo burger and fish that is not farm-raised, and free-range chickens and Hulda Clark tells people to cook it well. And buy dairy food from cows that are cared for in a natural healthy way. 

193.)	“It is important to take care of your body and mind so that you may function well each day.”

194.)	Then she mentions some of our associates that she is reading with and she concludes that she hopes things went well with freeing the dozer from its mud trap, and she hopes I will tell us more on Sabbath.

195.)	Well, I did it, Ozelia; I told you about the dozer and how I forced it out of the mud, and I actually broke the chain, an $80.00 chain, and it was two day’s pay for the men who tried to get it out. There comes a time when you just got to do stuff. You just plow ahead and just do it and head into it.

196.)	 And that, indeed, is what we do in The Obedient Church of God. We plow into it. We tell the Churches of God that they can’t have their own Gentile days. They can’t have Mother-goddess Day, they can’t have Sky Father’s Day, and they can’t make a practice of sinning, and they can’t refuse to heal what is broken.

197.)	You know, they profess to have faith in Christ, yet they persist in practicing a Gentile life style, characterized by having the Gentile ways. You know, you’ve got to be born again. Go to 1Corinthians 3:1-4 and contrast that with I Corinthians 6:9-11. 

198.)	The carnal Corinthians were unrighteous. If you want to be unrighteous, just celebrate those days and deny the truth, and be sure that you are a liar and that lie is about Herbert W. Armstrong raping Dorothy.

199.)	 Be sure you are a false witness Meredith, the Living Church of God;  Luker of the United Church of God; make sure Brisby, Church of God the Eternal; they are all liars because Herbert W. Armstrong never denied raping Dorothy.

200.)	When tried in court he admitted it. Herbert Armstrong said in answer to the question have you raped your daughter Dorothy, “At times I haven’t been as close to God.” Al least, Herbert Armstrong didn’t lie. 

201.)	But Meredith is a liar, Meredith; Luker is a liar; Jon Brisby is a liar; they are all bearing false witness. That is what liars do, they bear false witness. Go to the back of the Book, and it quite clearly it says that all liars shall be thrown into the lake of fire.

202.)	So, you want to be a liar? You want to keep covering it up? I’ll tell you what the back of the Book says about liars. You want to keep on lying? It is verse 15 of 22 in  Revelation, “Outside are…whoever loves and practices a lie.”

203.)	So if you like to lie about Herbert W. Armstrong who raped his daughter, well, outside you go for practicing a lie. You want to believe that as a member and you as a minister who caused a lie?

204.)	 You know the Sandusky case he had to admit, the University had to admit all of the sexual immorality perpetrated by their neighbors. You won’t give up. You are going to cause a lie and lie about it for 44 years? 

205.)	“There shall be by no means enter anything that…causes a lie,” Revelation 21:27. So, keep lying Meredith, keep lying Brisby, keep lying Luker, see where it gets you.  You ministers, you no longer listen to the voice of God that you shouldn’t bear false witness. I won’t be you accomplice, “I won’t be your accomplice.” I’ll tell the truth. Someone has to.

206.)	Anyone brings other doctrines, you know; don’t even wish him God speed.

207.)	You want to continue to practice a lie. So we are going to tell you more about Armstrong in terms of Cyrus so you can understand. Armstrong raped Dorothy for ten years. Ten years is a long time. 

208.)	We’ll have to call this “the planet of the rapes.” Yeah, not Planet of the Apes, but Planet of the Rapes, because the Worldwide Church of God is supposed to be God’s Church saving the whole planet, but instead, we’ve got “the planet of the rapes.”

209.)	Now let me tell you about Cyrus. Cyrus was used by God even though he was not converted at all. He is mentioned 23 times in the Bible and Cyrus was the King of Persia. That’s right. Do you know where Persia is? Iran. 

210.)	So who set up the Jews? An Iranian set up the Jews. See how a Gentile is more righteous than people who call themselves the family of God? So Cyrus the Great, the King of Persia/Iran was the monarch under whom the captivity of the Jews ended. 

211.)	In the first year of his reign, he was totally unconverted, he was prompt by God to make a decree that the Temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt, and that the Jews, the ones that wished to, might return to their land. 

212.)	Cyrus set up the physical Temple. Cyrus the Iranian King, Cyrus the Great the King of Persia ended the captivity of the Jews, and set up the Jerusalem Temple. He made a decree that Jerusalem should be rebuilt. This is the physical aspect. There is a parallel to that. 

213.)	God raised up an advertising man, the “tin man.” “Tin man” is slang for a siding salesman. Herbert Armstrong found out that a man could make a lot of money by having a church tithing system, because Armstrong overcharged this one minister for the siding, and the minister said don’t worry.

214.)	Armstrong knew he was going high, so he asked the minister how he could afford this [price]? And the minister said that the [church] members tithe ten percent of their income. Mr. Armstrong’s ears perked up. That was all that Armstrong needed to hear.

215.)	Armstrong was a siding salesman, an aluminum “tin man.” At least Cyrus was a King, King of Persia, but he was an Iranian who helped set up the physical Temple. Armstrong helped to set up the spiritual Temple, but he wasn’t converted, no more than Cyrus was.

216.)	Now Cyrus started a relationship with the Jewish leaders in exile, and Daniel was in favor of Cyrus, and it was in the third year of Cyrus that he had the vision recorded in the tenth chapter [of Daniel]. 

217.)	Cyrus issued a decree to release all the Jews in captivity. Now concerning Daniel who prayed and prophesied, there was the edict of Cyrus for rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, [which] marked a great epoch in the history of the Jewish people. 

218.)	There was a direct parallel between Cyrus and Herbert Armstrong. Now there is speculation abounding regarding Cyrus’ reasoning for releasing the Jews from the captivity. One argument is that Cyrus was a follower of Zoroaster, the monotheistic prophet. 

219.)	Zoroasterism played a dominant role in Persia throughout its history until the Islamic conquest. As such, he, Cyrus, could feel a kindred spirit with the monotheistic Jews. The same way Loma Armstrong felt a kindred spirit with Herbert.

220.)	Another possibility regarding Cyrus is the unanimous respect he is said to have shown to the different beliefs and customs of people all over his empire. And one example was upon the conquest of Babylon itself, it is said Cyrus paid homage at the Temple of Marduk, the Babylonian god. Thereby, he gave support and respect of the Babylonian people and minimized further bloodshed, because they stopped trying to fight against Cyrus. 

221.)	Here we go with the Bible. Jewish tradition in Ezra 1 indicates the Lord inspired King Cyrus of Persia to issue this proclamation, and we can see that God works with unconverted people, like Cyrus and like Herbert Armstrong. And you can’t say Herbert was converted if he raped his daughter for ten years. 

222.)	And Herbert Armstrong stripped the hooves off the Church members to buy himself solid dinnerware and $5,000.00 Stuben crystal glasses. Some might have a $10 million plane. I think Joyce Meyers had a plane, but I don’t know if it was as rich as Armstrong’s plane.

223.)	The point here is that God uses unconverted people. Now there are passages in Isaiah that predated the rule of Cyrus and God knew Cyrus 100 years before, Isaiah 40-55. The modern scholars refer to those books as deutero-Isaiah, whereas Isaiah 1-39 referred to proto-Isaiah.

224.)	The deutero-Isaiah speaks of the destruction that in the past, Isaiah 42:24-25. The restoration that was imminent that was prophesied was in Isaiah 42:1-9. The same way that the spiritual restoration was prophesied. 

225.)	Now for examples. Remember I told you in 2007, I prophesied that God’s Church work that we would be setting up in 2012. The year 1972 plus 40 years is 2012, where we are going full-tilt now. It took us 40 years to get the people out of spiritual Babylon, so 40 years is 2012 and man, are we hitting it hard now. I shouldn’t say “man,” so I’ll say wow, are we hitting it hard now and driving it home. 

226.)	Every broadcast gets stronger and stronger right up to the words, God’s loving church planted on the retes 

227.)	The Babylonian captivity was released by Cyrus, and the spiritual captivity was released by Herbert W. Armstrong. We in The Obedient Church of God are refining you. I have 4 folders on knowledge to bring in to the knowledge of the whole system and what God is doing. But let’s just do the Churches of God. We’ll tell you more during the Feast about that.

228.)	We’ll tell you about how you will be able to sing the song of Moses. You won’t be able to sing Revelation 58:3; you won’t be able to sing the song of Moses because you don’t have the proper works, and because you aren’t the only church people who sing the song of Moses. 

229.)	We won’t tell you about the Jesuits either. Unbelievable. We’ll tell you about you. Forget about the Living Church of God, the United Church of God, Church of God the Eternal, Triumph Prophetic Ministries. Let’s talk about you.

230.)	You are the ones being called. So, let’s talk about the people who were called. Moses stuttered; David’s armor didn’t fit because David was too small; John Mark, “John Mark” was rejected by Paul, that’s right, he was rejected by Paul; Timothy had ulcers, remember you are supposed to drink wine for your stomach ulcers.

231.)	Hosea’s wife was a prostitute; Jacob was a liar, how he cheated for his inheritance; David fornicated with another man’s wife, and then killed him. So, do you think Armstrong could have been used by God; are you trying to defend Armstrong?

232.)	Why did God publish David’s fornication, and David being a murderer in the Bible? And you lying Living Church of God, United Church of God, and Church of God the Eternal, especially, lie when God didn’t lie about David’s sexual immorality. 

233.)	David was too young to be King; Abraham was too old; Solomon was too rich; Naomi was a widow; Peter was afraid of death, he shouldn’t have been hiding when he should have been standing by his Lord during the days leading up to the crucifixion; the Apostle Paul was a murderer, remember Paul murdered Stephen; and so was Moses when he murdered the Egyptian.

234.)	Jonah ran from God; Miriam was a gossip; Giddeon had doubts; Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal; Elijah was burnt out, he had had it, he had had enough; Martha was a worry-wort; Noah got drunk; so, you want to know who God uses, go over that.

235.)	Now, the difference is that if you commit your way to the Lord, you will succeed. 

236.)	So let me tell you more of rediscovered truth. Armstrong’s church is shot to hell, because Armstrong didn’t commit his way to the Lord. Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.”

237.)	Armstrong’s Church has been blown to pieces. Why? Because Armstrong didn’t commit his was to the Lord. This is a rediscovered truth for you. 

238.)	Now, remember I said we are going to talk about you? Well, let’s say that you are what you are, which is true, you are being worked with by God if you are repenting. God looks at you with His own eyes and He sees all your rough edges, and He starts knocking off your rough edges by a guy like me telling you what your rough edges are.

239.)	And you say, please stop, stop, stop Lawrence. Quit hammering away at the churches. What does God say when he is hammering away at the truth? “Bear with me, for I love you.”

240.)	So, He’s forming you into shape. You are the pot, you’re the pot. You are the vessel being formed into shape. And you are saying, God, I’m in pain. I’m hurting, I’m hurting. Stop. Stop. Stop. Well, God says, I’m not done yet, “I’m not done yet.” Then watch out. God puts you into the fire to refine you.

241.)	And you say, this is really hurting me. It’s too hot. Please stop. Well, God looks again and He tells you, Child, I’m not done yet. Well, then He takes you from the fire and He begins to paint you with beautiful colors that you can’t see, but you can only feel.

242.)	And you say, stop Father, this is uncomfortable. I don’t like this. Well, God says, I’m not done with you yet. Then God puts you back into the fire to seal you.

243.)	And you scream, help, help. I can’t take this. I can’t take this “color” in my life. I’ve been through so much pain and suffering. God says our job isn’t done yet.

244.)	Suddenly the fire goes out, and God reaches down gently and pulls you out, the beautiful creation that you are, a creation that will never perish, but will have everlasting life. 

245.)	And you say with tears in your eyes, I thank you from my heart. Father, while I was unworthy lump of clay, you reached down and saved me and called me and you refined me to be a beautiful vessel to show your grace and glory.

246.)	To you, my Father goes all the praise. To you, my Father goes all the glory.

247.)	So, in conclusion, remember when trials come in your life, it’s just another spin of the potter’s wheel. Father loves you. He will never leave you. 

248.)	II Corinthians 4:8-9, “We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; we’re punished, but not in despair; deserted, but not abandoned; gunned down, but not destroyed.”

249.)	God is striking down all of the Worldwide Churches of God offshoots, and you are being cleaned up. And you will be presented to Father as a bright, shining, unspotted, perfectly pure virgin for His Son.

250.)	That’s the sermon for today. Remember, there will be a New Moon Day Sermon as it falls, on Sunday or Monday. Just tune in 6 P. M. Paris time, 9 A. M. West Coast, or 12 Noon on the East Coast. 

251.)	  Now in praise of our great Father, God is putting us through the firey trials to clean us up and perfect us. All please rise and sing songs of praise to Him, fittingly Psalm 81, page 119 in our hymnal, and page 63 in other hymnals,  
“Sing Songs of Praise to Him.”

252.)	Now for the closing prayer, remain standing, face the North Heavens with arms extended to God in petition to Him, head bowed, and eyes closed.

253.)	“Almighty and most merciful loving Father with Yeshua at your right hand side, we give you praise and glory, and admonish you to help the people in the Living Church of God, United Church of God, Church of God the Eternal, Triumph Prophetic Ministry, help them to repent and stop their practices of the Gentile days, and stop their practice of moving your Sabbath to Friday in half the world. We pray for them.

254.)	“We help them as best we can to understand. Some of them are just tooooo proud to change. So work in their lives to help them to change, as you work in our lives with all the trials. We know that if we don’t have trials, we are none of yours.

255.)	“So thank you for all the trials we’ve had. We’ve learned how better to manage the disobedient people, how to manage troublesome employees, how to manage critical issues that endanger life and limb, how to count on you for our safety and protection.

256.)	“So, Father, in that view please continue to work with The Obedient Church of God and its members and its assistants, and its staff. 

257.)	“Indeed, following next week as we are preparing for the Feast, help us to be led into the topics on the sermons for the Feast that you want, because we have got too much material for the Feast. So we ask that you to pare it down to what you want the people to know. 

258.)	“So Father, we ask you to inspire the Feast, indeed, have the people attend their own Feast sites  in their own individual churches so they can put pressure on own ministers to follow the crescent moon. It doesn’t do any good unless we can get people to change. So we need them inside of the other churches so that they can pressure their ministers.

259.)	  “Thank you for The Obedient Church of God for it teaches us workers as much as it teaches the others. And we would never have learned all that we have learned if you hadn’t set up The Obedient Church of God, and I had to do, or want to do, these sermons every week. So Father, thank you for everything.

260.)	“And now we ask your dismissal, and ask for your protection in the coming week from all of the authorities, and from the helicopter that is circling the hill, and from the county storm water department, and from the building code department. Things go on and on.

261.)	“Thank you for all the help you have given us. Now we ask for your dismissal and ask this in Yeshua ha Mashiach’s holy righteous name, Jesus Christ our soon arriving Lord and King of this world. Amen.” 

262.)	Let’s see if our prayers are answered, that the Living Church of God change its evil ways that the United Church of God will change its evil ways, indeed, that all the offshoots will change their evil ways so that they can all be with us in the Kingdom of God.

263.)	Maranatha, the Lord is arriving and we are going to be ready for the Lord. So, if "you" want to be ready, then change your evil ways. 

264.)	That’s the broadcast for today.
