YEHOVAH Declares HE IS THE ONLY GOD and SAVIOR

“Thus says YEHOVAH, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer,YEHOVAH of hosts:
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.

^{Isaiah 44:6}

 “Listen to Me, O Jacob,
And Israel, My called:
I am He, I am the First,
I am also the Last.
 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens...

^{Isaiah 48:12-13}

“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
I, even I, am YEHOVAH,
And besides Me there is no Savior.

Isaiah 43:10-11

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” 

^{Rev 1:11, 17, 2:8, 22:13} 

If you will open your Bible and read the passages from Isaiah in context you will see that they are a powerful personal testimony. YEHOVAH, Himself, is speaking. He boldly proclaims that He is God! He is not just a god, He is the only God, and He offers proof. His proof is His Omniscience. He knows all things and He has no rivals, not men or false gods. He knows and has declared the truth about the beginning and the end. The Bible is full of His prophetic revelations about the past and the future and none has been proven false. So, YEHOVAH'S testimony is trustworthy.

YEHOVAH declares that He is the ONLY GOD. There was no god before YEHOVAH and there will be no god after YEHOVAH. He is the ETERNALLY EXISTING "I AM." To be clear, in the Bible, YEHOVAH has revealed Himself as existing eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All Three Persons of the Godhead are YEHOVAH. They are One God in three Persons: the Trinity.

YEHOVAH is the CREATOR of heaven and earth! He tells all about His creative activity in Genesis. He says He spoke everything into existence in six days and rested on the seventh day. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all evident in the creation process. 

YEHOVAH says He is the King of Israel. Jesus, in His resurrected body, will reign over this renovated earth in the city of Jerusalem for 1000 years and then over the new earth for eternity! Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead in human form but the Trinity will abide with believers forever.

YEHOVAH is also the Redeemer of mankind, and the Only Savior. Jesus died on the cross to reconcile us with the Father. When we believe in the finished work of Jesus on the cross, the Holy Spirit brings us into the body of Christ and guarantees eternal life. 

Reading these three verses you find two critical concepts: belief and unbelief. Our place in eternity depends on belief in Jesus or unbelief concerning Jesus.

A believer is not currently condemned and will not be condemned in the future. He will not be called before YEHOVAH'S Great White Throne for judgment and perish eternally. He has now and will continue to have everlasting life. His name is written in the Book of Life. He will stand before the Bema Seat of Jesus Christ to receive rewards for good deeds done after salvation, or he will lose rewards if He has no acceptable deeds. Either way, he has everlasting life with YEHOVAH, Angels and all Believers because he was saved by grace for Jesus' sake.

On the other hand, an unbeliever is currently under the wrath of YEHOVAH for rejecting the sacrifice made for him by Jesus, God's Son. He is condemned to perish. His name is not written in the Book of Life and all his evil deeds are recorded in a book which will be reviewed when he appears for his trial and sentencing at the Great White Throne judgement. He will never experience life. All who go to that judgement will be cast into the Lake of Fire with Satan, fallen angels, demons and unbelievers to suffer for eternity. This is called the second death. See Revelation 20:10-15. 

If you have not believed in Jesus before now, I urge you to consider your situation. YEHOVAH (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) loves you! Jesus died for you! 

If you sense the Spirit of God drawing you through His Word, please respond to Him. If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He paid your sin debt you will be saved. Today is the day of Salvation and there is no other Savior. Please put your trust in Him and call on Him today.

May you experience peace, joy, love and everlasting life! 

 All scriptures are from the NKJV but I have removed "the LORD" and reinserted YEHOVAH to restore
God's Name to His Word as He intended it to be there originally. 

Everything Is Being Shaken

In light of the financial meltdown at home and abroad, and in light of the current chaos in the Middle East, I find the following Words from God most timely. The message given in 2008 was followed by the financial collapse around the world. And the message given 2 weeks ago has been followed by the collapsing of Middle Eastern dictatorships which is currently in progress. Yes, indeed, things are being shaken and those that cannot stand the pressure are being destroyed. It's a scary world at present, but the good news is, Our God Is In Control. I wanted to share these encouraging words with you so you also can find hope and peace in them.    

"Thus says the LORD, as I told you before, everything is being shaken that can be shaken. I have been shaking this world. Passions are high. Tempers are high. Anger is high. Suffering is high. Pain is high.
I am in charge! I am bringing to pass what must come to pass. I have everything in control. I will protect My children. I will keep My own. Put your trust in Me. Put your confidence in Me. Let your peace be in Me. No flame will kindle upon you. The waves will not overflow you. I will guard you. I will protect you. Look not to the right or to the left. Let not your heart be troubled. There is nothing that can overcome you. Look to me and see if I will not order your steps."

The LORD gave us this word at The Family Church on February 6, 2011. It was a follow up to the word given on March 30, 2008 shown below.

"I AM speaking today, says the LORD. Those with humble and contrite hearts are hearing My Voice. Those who have shaken off the concerns of this life and the cares of this life are hearing My Voice. Those who are not weighted down and encumbered with the things of this life are hearing My Voice. I Am shaking things around you. I am shaking securities that are based in world systems. I am shaking the U.S. securities that are based in world systems. I want you to hear Me today. I want to draw those who are hungry and thirsty. Listen with a shaking off of the cares of this world. You can trust Me and know I will not make you ashamed."

We know the LORD says He will do nothing without revealing His doings to His people. These messages from God are very revealing. He is giving us a heads up warning. He is doing the shaking. We can trust Him. He will care for us as we lean on Him. We must humble ourselves before Him. We must purify our hearts and let go of the materialistic desires that weight us down and tie us to this world system. Now is the time to listen to God and let Him order our steps. He is our hope and our only security.

May you respond to His word and be blessed!
