Number 985
Dear Friends,
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Proverbs 29:2
It has been a most frustrating ordeal to try to understand what happened to us. Why did we lose the Embassy of Heaven Church grounds? What did we do wrong? Today we have received revelation about the true nature of the enemy and we are now at peace.
One of the most powerful myths in this country is that the United States is a Christian nation. Forget about this being a Christian nation. That's a lie. This is a Pervert nation! Perverts are running the world.
How did the perverts take over? Simple. In the United States, no religious test is required to hold office. Article Six of the United States Constitution says, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
That means any wicked sinner can hold office. If you're a fornicator, or idolater, or adulter, or effeminate, or an abuser of yourself with mankind, or a thief, or covetous, or a drunkard, or a reviler or an extortioner, you can hold office! Unclean persons can fill every office from lowly clerk to chief executive - no religious test required.
Now
let's say that I'm a pervert. The kind of pervert that does not
obviously hurt his neighbor. Not a murderer or that kind of
sinner, but one who scripturally is a pervert. What comes to mind
are those known as "queers," "dykes," or "homosexuals." There's a
whole "race" of them out there, gaining in numbers. They are
everywhere you look. You see them in the newspapers and out
marching in parades. "They declare their sin as Sodom, they hide
it not" (Isaiah 3:9).
The Scripture is very clear on what is to become of them for their abomination. They shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The wrath of God is upon them because even though they know that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do they continue to do these things, but they also have pleasure in them that do them (Romans 1:32).
Under the law of Moses, homosexuals were to be killed. "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them " (Leviticus 20:13).
In other words, "Rid them from the earth. Don't let them even get a start." The homosexual community has already suffered Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25). Now their offspring are doing the same abominations that caused God to rain down fire and brimstone.
Now if I were a homosexual, I would not want to be reminded of God's judgment against me. I would not want Christians speaking out against me because I want to remain in sin. I will do anything to defend and justify my sin.
One way to cover my sin is to get into positions of authority. As a legislator, I can make laws that protect me from being punished or killed. Since the United States requires no religious test, I can get into office, even though I am a pervert. A person who fills an office does not need to be of high moral standing. He does not have to acknowledge God the Father or His Son Jesus Christ.
Here is my opportunity to put me and my buddies in power. We would fill government offices with perverts of all kinds. According to Webster's dictionary, a pervert is not limited to just a sexual deviant. A pervert is a person who turns from what is considered right, good, or true. A pervert changes or misapplies the meaning of something or brings it into a worse condition. A pervert leads astray and corrupts. This is exactly what we would do.
I would see that my fellow perverts are in key positions in the Executive Branch so that we can have lots of fun without being exposed. We would fill the Legislature and make laws to protect our perverted activities. We would occupy the Judicial Branch to ensure that our lawmaking is upheld. Why would we do it? Because we know what the Word of God says about us and we don't want the Word of God. We would infiltrate all three Branches and cover our sins with power.
What we sinners want to do is protect ourselves. We want to make laws to make our sin legitimate. How would we do it? By filling government offices and changing God's Word. This is our whole function. If we are going to survive in this world, we have to change the truth of God into a lie (Romans 1:25). We have to replace God's Word. We have to make our own laws.
Next,
we would persuade everyone of the ultimate deception - that this
country is a Christian nation. We would "cloak ourselves" with the
covering of Christianity. We would clean the outside of the cup,
but inside would be dead men's bones. Then we would pull the
dirtiest trick of all. We would convince the professing Christians
that the Bible says they are to obey the "Law of the Land." They
are to obey the laws made by and for the benefit of perverts. They
are to obey the "higher authorities," even though they are
perverts.
Look around at how well the perverts have succeeded! There is a strong possibility that the entire government of the United States is run by perverts.
Not only do perverts control all the high offices of "worldly government," they have also infiltrated the State Christian Churches. Pastors are afraid to speak out against homosexuality. Instead, they preach "toleration." Some conduct "same sex" marriages, which are no marriages at all.
The perverts cannot allow a true Christian community to gain prominence, for that would be their doom. They made war on us because we were persuading others to turn away from perverted government. Any group of Christians who are bringing forth God's Word must be destroyed. Any Christians that start speaking out against perverts, must be stopped.
They do not necessarily make a direct attack. They don't have to violently "take 'em out" like they took out the Embassy of Heaven with Oregon National Guard tanks and men carrying M-16's. Any pretense will do. Any excuse will serve a pervert.
No. This is not a Christian nation. This is a Pervert Nation. The perverts are running it and they have deceived the people into financing the perverts. Yes, even professing Christians are financing the perverts.
If you are truly a professing Christian, why do you not require a religious test? Why do you not test anybody whom you are going to hire through your tax money? Here is a religious test from the Holy Bible:
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John 4:1-3
I don't want to hear one word about your Chief Executive or his wife. I don't want to hear any complaints about the Attorney General and the life she leads. Don't you dare talk about them! You hired them. You refused to allow a religious test. Now you're stuck with perverts.
You are financing a government of the world and by the world and for the world. You are exalting man's law above God. You have rejected the Son and the government He brought. You are receiving exactly what you deserve.
The perverts have created a nation apart and separate from God. They created the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches. And they did it in defiance of God. For there is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. (James 4:12)
All three branches are changing God's Word. They say they are acting in behalf of the people. But what is their real function? If the perverts are going to survive in this world, they must change God's Word and replace it with their law. Why? Because they know that those which commit such things are worthy of death!
They create governments of men. They convince men to be part of this "created thing." Then men worship and serve this "created thing" more than the Creator (Romans 1:25). And now the law comes out of man and not out of God.
All
the offices they have created in this false government are used to
cover their sins. They are proliferating Antichrist. And they live
off the righteous because they know they cannot live off of
perversions. Their activities are unto death. A perversion is like
a flea on a cat. That flea can't survive without a cat. Or a
lamprey on a fish. That lamprey has to have the fish and it sucks
the blood of the fish until it dies.
If you are of Christ, then get that lamprey off you. Don't finance it anymore. Don't give it your life blood. For they live off the blood of the saints. Revelation 17:6 says:
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Yes, the perverts are forced to live off the "blood of the saints" because they are "dead men's bones." They have no life of their own. They even suck out the life of the Christian Church. Through State incorporation they take what was once a creation of God and change it to a creation of the perverts.
No. The United States is not a Christian nation because at the foundation, their government offices are perverted. They are not founded on God's Word. They make and enforce laws that are not in conformity with God. Man cannot make law. God has already made all the law. If you start making your own law, you are going against God. There is only one Law. There is only one Lawgiver. There is only one Judge (Isaiah 33:22).
The best we can do is try to discover our Creator's will. We cannot add. Neither can we subtract from His Word because then we start going after the ways of man. And the whole world lies under darkness because they follow man instead of the Father.
You can have the Kingdom of Heaven on earth as it is in Heaven. You can have it right now. But you have to change. You have to quit sinning yourself.
What can we do about the perverts who are in office? Quit financing them. Come out! Be ye separate. Come out and be not partakers of her sins. The perverts will probably try to destroy you, as they did us. But even if they do, you can experience God's peace. Better is the little that the righteous has than the great treasures of the perverts.
It is human to stand with the crowd; it is Divine to stand alone. It is manlike to follow the people, to drift with the tide; it is God-like to follow a principle, to stem the tide.
It is natural to compromise conscience and follow the social and religious fashion for the sake of gain or pleasure; it is divine to sacrifice both on the altar of truth and duty.
"No man stood with me, but all men forsook me," wrote the battle-scarred apostle in describing his first appearance before Nero to answer for his life for believing and teaching contrary to the Roman world.
Truth has been out of fashion since man changed his robe of fadeless light for a garment of faded leaves.
Noah built and voyaged alone. His neighbors laughed at his strangeness and perished in style.
Abraham wandered and worshipped alone. Sodomites smiled at the simple shepherd, followed the fashion, and fed the flames.
Daniel dined and prayed alone. Elijah sacrificed and witnessed alone. Jeremiah prophesied and wept alone. Jesus loved and died alone.
Of the lonely way His disciples should walk, He said: "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:14)
Of their treatment by the many who walk in the broad way, He said, "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (John 15:19)
The church in the wilderness praised Abraham and persecuted Moses. The church of the Kings praised Moses and persecuted the prophets.
The church of Caiaphas praised the prophets and persecuted Jesus. The church of the popes praised the Saviour and persecuted the saints. And multitudes now, in the church and in the world, applaud the courage of the patriarchs and prophets, the apostles and martyrs, but condemn as stubbornness or foolishness, like faithfulness of today.
WANTED TODAY, men and women, young and old, who will obey their convictions of truth and duty at the cost of fortune and friends and life itself.
Our 18-year-old daughter Brooke has discovered a high-tech way to evangelize - she uses the Internet (ICQ) and E-Mail to chat with people from around the world. But she does not just chat about the things of this world. She introduces them to the Kingdom of Heaven. Here are some excerpts from conversations with a young man named Adam:
Adam:
I've been thinking about our first conversation a lot. My friends and I talked later that day about how odd it is to have met you over random chat on ICQ (internet). I mean, your DAD was on the Daily Show, regarding something that you're very directly involved in. It's very interesting, you know. We all feel kind of bad. It sounds like you're having a pretty rough time. I know we all need to face hardships, but it sounds to me like your life is surrounded by hardship. I don't really know much about you, but it seems like you and your family would catch a LOT of flak for what you believe. Do you? Like I said, it's all very interesting to me, so anything you'd care to tell me about yourself, your life . . . go right ahead. I'm listening eagerly.
Brooke:
You wanted to know a little bit about my lifestyle. It is very different from most people. We are completely mobile. Since we lost the 34 acres, which is another story in itself, we have been living in motorhomes. My sister and I share a motorhome, which we have all to ourselves.
All our cooking is done in a little camp trailer, which is where we like to "hang out." It has a sink, stove, tiny table, counter and tiny bathroom. I like to sit at the little table and read or talk to Skye, my sister, while she cooks.
The computer is in a converted school bus, where we have five desks and four computers. It is unheated, so winter is very miserable in the office bus. The motorhome is unheated, too, but we have electric blankets if it gets too cold.
Our water is heated on a wood stove outside the kitchen trailer. There is an old propane water heater bolted to the stove, and a hose takes the water to the kitchen, where we have "plumbing."
At the moment, our motorhomes and trailers are parked right by a creek, on a hundred-acre farm. Horses and cows wander through and drink from the creek. If I feel like being alone, I just walk up the hill and stroll through fields of blowing grass and wild flowers. There are clumps of forest, too. Mainly fir trees and oaks.
Because I am home-educated, I have a very close relationship with my parents. I don't go away to school all day, so I've been here to observe and share their struggles in life. Every day I face real life and real life problems alongside my parents.
My Dad likes to stay up all night on the computer, working. Often, when I get up in the morning, he is still there, deeply engrossed in his work. My whole family likes to stay up late. We have a radio show at eleven p.m. every night, so the busiest time of day is around midnight. Then, afterwards, we like to watch a video, sing, or sit around and talk. It gets to be pretty late before anyone goes to bed.
My Mom spends a lot of time answering the phones. People are always calling, wanting information, or needing help. She is always around, but usually very busy.
As
far as what my family believes, and our recent difficulties, I
would love to tell you about it, but I don't know where to begin.
Life has been a real adventure. Because we are different, it seems
like there is no protection from the wind. Have you ever seen a
tree that dares to stand in a windy place all by itself and defy
the wind? Or haggard and twisted pine trees on the edge of a
forest, who take the full force of the storms because they stand
out?
My family, and the other members of our Church, haven't hurt or inconvenienced anyone. But because we are different, people fear us and hate us. If you want the people in your neighborhood to hate and fear you, try taking the State plate off your car and driving around without it. It is such a small, almost silly thing, yet you would be shocked at the reaction of people.
I have seen my Dad arrested, beaten, bruised and hated for that simple act. All he was trying to say, was, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers." The following scripture verse is part of the basis for what brought him to doing this thing:
"If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God . . . and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone."
Revelation 14:9,10
I'm
sure you've heard of the "mark of the Beast," 666, and in the end
times that an anti-Christ will deceive the people. My Dad took
that one step further and surmised that the Beast was already
here, and the "mark of the Beast" was, possibly, a driver license.
The day he took the State plate off the car, and threw away the driver's license, we lost all our old friends and life changed forever. But we soon gained new friends. There were others who had done the same thing. There were about a dozen local families who agreed that the driver's license was the mark of the Beast, and, as Christians, we must separate.
It's a long story, but eventually, hundreds of people took the plates off their cars and "unmarked" themselves from the world. They stopped taking benefits from the world, such as social security, public schools, insurance, etc.
One policeman commented to my Mom: "I respect what you are doing, but since you have no plates on your car, I can't tell who you are."
Inspired by the policeman's observations, Dad put a plate on the car that read "Kingdom of Heaven." Then a lot of people started doing it.
These people are willing to go to jail for what they believe, and most of them lose their cars over it. They don't believe in insurance, other than the assurance of God. If they are stopped over the Heaven plates, the car gets towed for no insurance.
People say, "Oh, they are just trying to get out of something." Believe me, if we were trying to get out of something, besides Hell, we wouldn't choose this road! It has cost us everything - our cars, our home, our friends, our jobs - all the comforts of this world!
I hope I have not offended you with all this. I know it probably seems absurd to you, that a license plate could be so controversial. Yet 2000 years ago it was just as absurd for the early Christians to claim Christ as King. They were saying, "No King but Jesus!" For this statement they were thrown to the lions.
Do you know what that would sound like in today's terms? "No president but Jesus!" or "No government but Christ's!" If someone said that today, what do you think the response would be? . . . Just something to think about.
Adam:
Hello! Again, as I told you before, it's pretty difficult to offend me. What you said simply didn't make any sense to me, though. I don't understand what a driver's license has to do with 666. Is there some tie I'm missing? You made it sound as though your father just arbitrarily decided driver's licenses were bad. I'm pretty sure that I more or less understood the scripture.
Why does your family rebel? Are you that upset with society for some reason? I can't say that I wouldn't be upset with the world after going through what it sounds like you've been through, but, as you can see, I'm in need of a more detailed explanation. I think the whole thing is very confusing. And interesting.
Brooke:
Hello again! Hope things are going well for you. It has been pleasantly uneventful here.
I'm sorry if I was unclear about our beliefs in my last letter. It is really quite simple, but it's the first time I've had to put it into words.
A driver's license is a grant of permission to drive. But why does one need permission from men to drive? If you are safe, courteous and doing no evil, why do you need permission to drive, especially from unbelievers?
All the permission you need is from the Heavenly Father. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Just as you have permission to breathe, work, sleep, and exist, you have permission to travel.
I am not saying that the driver's license, in and of itself, is "bad" or "evil." In fact, if you are a citizen of the USA, and you belong to the State, you are subject to all her laws and demands. It would be "rebellion" to drive without a State plate, and it would be illegal!
But, being Christians and belonging to the Heavenly government, we have renounced our citizenship with the world, and have taken citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven. In other words, we have taken Christ as our one and only King, putting no one and nothing before Him in the "chain of command."
So I cannot get a license, or benefits, from worldly governments. My permission comes from the one that sent me, and that is Christ. It is not that I am trying to be in "rebellion." I am simply trying to be loyal to Christ. Loyalty and rebellion look the same, depending on which side you are looking from.
I cannot accept the benefits, either. If I go to college, I must pay nonresident rates. I will not be able to fall back on social security, either. But I must trust in God for these things. I am more than willing to give up the luxuries of the world, in the hope of a far greater reward.
As far as insurance, since I am not a State resident, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for me to be a part of it. Insurance is another example of joining with unbelievers and trusting in man instead of God.
All these concepts are probably very new to you, I wish I were better at explaining. If you are really interested, I can send you a newsletter and some information snail mail. It might be more understandable.
May the peace and joy of Christ be with you!
Brooke Celeste
by Glen Stoll, Ambassador of Jesus Christ
Glen Stoll filed the following report on his dealing with the border "trolls" along the southern boundaries. Certain people have set up imagi-"nations" called "countries" that are alternative gods to the Almighty. Then they post "trolls" along their imaginary borders to control who goes in and out. Before you can cross into one of these imagi-"nations" some troll wants to inspect your papers and approve them. Otherwise, you cannot pass.
This summer, David Klein, who is a naturopathic physician and fellow ambassador of Jesus Christ, asked me to help him set up a Ministry of Healing Educational Retreat in Mexico. We have taken six round trips down into Mexico and back and are planning more. Going into Mexico we have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. Many times we did not even see anybody. On one of the trips down into Mexico, we went through the Douglas-Agua Plieta border out of Arizona. They wanted to search our luggage going into Mexico because we were planning to stay for some time and we were going past the "21 Kilometer Mark." They have a different checkpoint and you must have additional clearance to go further.
We went through the immigration there and they asked us the standard question, "What is your citizenship?" Those nations who subscribe to the United Nations "freedom of travel" charter (or something of that nature) only want you to declare your citizenship. Then they determine what they are going to do with you based upon what citizenship you declare.
We have found that the United States does not like citizens of Heaven. They are at war with the Kingdom of Heaven. However, Mexico is considerably different. When I declared myself to be a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Mexican immigration officer pulled out a list of various countries of the world, written in English. Then he pointed to the list and said, "Which one?"
I decided I would look for it. But sure enough, the Kingdom of Heaven wasn't there. I handed my pen to him and said, "Here, write it down."
He didn't write anything, so I started writing it down myself. He immediately grabbed the pen out of my hand, "No, no, no. Don't write on this."
"But it's not here," I explained.
"Oh, well, here's what we do." He handed me a form to complete that was written in three different languages.
It was a form for declaring citizenship and nationality. Where it said "nationality," I put "Christian." Where it said "country," I put "Kingdom of Heaven." Where it said "date of birth," . . . now that is something I don't have. But rather than putting "none," I put down my date of baptism, which is my date of birth into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Since I did not want to get caught in the trap of them having an excuse to claim that I was giving them false information, right next to "date of birth," I hand wrote the word, "baptism."
When I finished the form, the customs officer looked it over carefully. This man is no dummy. He can read English. Besides, the Spanish word for Christian, "Cristiano," is so similar. Surely he must have known what I was saying. He stamped the form, signed it and then I handed him my Kingdom of Heaven Passport. He opened it up, stamped it with the immigration stamp and on we went.
We passed through three different border crossings coming back North. Two of them were no problem at all. We discovered the best approach is to just hand the customs official our Passport and say, "Kingdom of Heaven." They usually ask a few questions, "Do you have any narcotics, firearms, etc.," and we say, "No, no, no," and then off we go. It is simple.
But at the border crossing at Palomas, Chihuahua and Columbus, New Mexico, we had a little difficulty. U.S. Customs asked, "Are you United States citizens?"
We
answered, "No, Kingdom of Heaven citizens," and showed our
passports.
The first time we came to this particular crossing, I explained that I had expatriated from the United States corporation. The fellow there said, "Have you expatriated according to the law?"
"Yes, I have, but I don't know if you know what that means."
"Oh yes, I went to law school. I know what it means."
If he went to law school, he obviously does not know what it means because they don't teach law in law school. I explained expatriation according to international law. It is done according to the laws of the country you are expatriated into. The country you are coming out of has nothing to say about it.
The customs fellow disagreed. "Oh no, you have to do it according to the laws of the United States and we have forms."
"Could you show me a copy of that form?"
He could not do that. I doubt if the form really exists.
I told him, "The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the right to expatriate is fundamental to the principles of a free nation, and that any government official that so much as questions a person's claim of expatriation is in violation of the law."
He became a little uncomfortable and made a call to regional headquarters in El Paso, Texas. After talking with them, he conceded that I was absolutely correct. I had indeed expatriated and they recognized my expatriation into the Kingdom of Heaven.
But he said, "We recognize the Kingdom of Heaven only for expatriation purposes, but we do not recognize the Kingdom of Heaven for passing through the port of entry. Therefore, you're going to have to go back to Mexico."
"Wait a minute," I said, "Do you realize that you are interfering with the work of God? We have a mission to accomplish, and you are hindering and delaying us and interfering with the work of God."
"Then I guess I am just interfering with the work of God."
I could not believe it came out of his lips. I said, "God have mercy!"
After further discussion, he became more reasonable and sincerely wanted to know more. I explained why we have expatriated, that I truly believe in the principles of freedom and liberty and justice and what most people think the United States stands for. But I have discovered what the United States really is today. I gave him specific examples and he nodded his head and said, "Yes, you are right."
The final thing I said was, "The United States is not in danger of being overtaken by the New World Order. The United States is the New World Order. That's the very reason Michael New has had his problems with the military."
As soon as I mentioned Michael New to him, he called the port director who was at home. She wasn't very happy about coming back after hours. He turned to me and said, "I've told the port director not to bother coming down. You're passing through this border. I am not going to interfere with your work."
I put out my hand and said, "I consider you a brother in Christ. May God's peace be with you."
He wished God's blessing on us and off we went. We had been detained about 90 minutes.
The last time we went through that border, there was a particular woman there who was godless and arrogant. She decided to give us a hard time. The port director was gone and she was in charge. We wound up being delayed about three hours, until the port director finally arrived. She said, "Here is what I would like you to do any time you pass through a border. Hand the officers your passport. Tell them you are a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. But then tell them that for traveling purposes only you are a United States citizen."
I told her emphatically that especially for traveling purposes, I am not a United States citizen. I am a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven. That's the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
She said, "Then we cannot let you pass through our borders."
"Then I am just going to walk on through anyway whether you let me or not."
"Oh no, we'll arrest you. We'll throw you in jail."
"Under what charge?"
"It's called 'port running.'"
"What's the statute? What's the authority?"
They could not produce any of that. They could have arrested us, but then I think she realized we were not going to back down. Finally she told us that as far as immigration was concerned, they were going to consider us as if we were citizens of the United States.
I responded, "If that is what you want to do, I guess that is up to you." Then I shook her hand and wished her God's peace and walked on through. Another officer came up and said, "Wait a minute, what are doing?"
"I just talked to the port director and we settled everything and we are going through."
He went off to get her. She looked at me and said, "You need to tell him what I told you to say."
"All right." I handed him my passport and said, "I am a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, but for travel purposes only, the INS is to consider me as though I am a United States citizen even though I am not."
"Oh, no!" she said. "Don't say, 'even though I am not,' or we're just going to lock you up here."
They were thinking they could pressure us. I told her, "We serve a God who is able to save us from the fiery furnace if He wills. But if He won't, then praise be the name of the Lord."
Finally, we said the phrase, "We are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, but for travel purposes only, the INS is to consider us as United States citizens." With that, they allowed us to cross the border. However, since then, I have had a change of heart. I will not say that phrase again. They are compelling false worship. We are headed back to Mexico again soon. This time we will not deny our citizenship in Heaven for "travel purposes" or for any other reason.
