This is the third session in this series. In it, I cover Job and the Garden of Eden. Below are my notes:
Let’s deal with the Old Testament image of God and why the unbelievers and some Christians would believe God is an abuser.
Job 1:21-
21 And he said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Believers don't believe that God hears them. They believe that He ignores them or if He does hear them that He disregards their need because they haven't done this or that- or because they have done this or that. But this is not the case. It is us who do not hear Him. Even when He has taken the time to tell a prophet what to write down and then it has been translated into a language we can understand, we ignore what He said. We discount what He said so much that when we are faced with what He actually said then we have to either face that we were incorrect or we have to ignore what He said further. The passage above from Job is probably the most misused verse in the Old Testament. So many people who have been in the pulpit, who were the "mouthpiece" of God have extracted this verse to fit their theology and misunderstanding of the situation because they didn't;t really know what to say. They didn't really know the heart of God. If you actually read the entire verse, of course you can see how absolutely ludicrous it is to use as an example of how God takes things that are meaningful to us away!!! As a matter of fact, the New Testament gives us the truth about the heart and the intention of God in James 5
"11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful."
From the onset of the attack by the enemy of Job, we see the heart of the Creator to turn the situation and to give Job double what the enemy stole.. This is not how an abuser would behave!
The idea of God just willy nilly hurting His children was been a twist of the enemy since the beginning. It was, after all the wicked one who implied to Eve, that God had withheld something from her. that He had not made her like Himself. The story of God being abusive to His creation is very very old and it's purpose is to separate the hearts of the creation from the heart of The Creator.

In this week's broadcast, I reveal the shocking links between the current Hamas-Israel war, Psalm 83, and end times Bible prophecy.
You'll see how a jihadist plot hatched in 1983 led to the violence we're witnessing today between Hamas and Israel.
I also expose the religious motivations behind Hamas by reading directly from their own charter.
Additionally, you'll learn the origin story of who the Palestinians really are and where they came from biblically.
If you want to understand this conflict at a whole new level, this broadcast is a must!
In this passionate, post-Thanksgiving message, I dive deep into the spiritual power of praise and gratitude.
Learn why praise is so important - according to Psalm 22:3, God is literally enthroned on the praises of His people. When we praise God, especially in hard times, we are bringing Him powerfully into our situations to act.
Discover the violent side of Jesus you may not know. Learn how a word Jesus quotes from Psalm 8 in the Bible carries connotations of aggressively "slapping shut" the mouth of the spiritual Enemy trying to attack us.
You'll also find out:
This raw, eye-opening teaching will revolutionize how you view Thanksgiving and praise. God moves through gratitude to silence the Accuser, protect us, and display His might. He wants deep personal relationship with you!
Is the end near? Are the events unfolding in Israel signalling the beginning of the end times?
In this eye-opening video, I discuss the brewing conflict in the Middle East and what it could mean prophetically. With so much turmoil in Israel, many fellow Christians have been questioning if this points to the tribulation period and return of Jesus Christ.
I share my in-depth Biblical research on end times prophecy and why I believe we may have already entered the prophesied 7-year tribulation. Key topics covered include:
While only God knows the day and hour, there are many signs indicating we are in the season of Christ's return. This message is not intended to provoke fear but hope and preparation.
Please subscribe to be notified of more videos as I continue unpacking these end times prophecies and equipping the body of Christ for the days ahead.

As we enter the end times, it is crucial for Christians to not be deceived. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24 that false signs and wonders will arise to deceive people. Even believers could potentially be misled. To avoid deception, we must be doers of God's Word, not just hearers (James 1:22). Simply hearing the Word without acting on it leads to self-deception. We must diligently put the Word into practice to protect ourselves from spiritual deception in these perilous times. Focusing on obedience guards us against the deceptive power of false signs and miracles.
What would you do if you knew when Adam was created?
What about when he fell?
How can we know when the flood was?
Does knowing when these things occur really affect our lives? Does it matter to us in our day to day?
In this session I will teach you not only the dates of these events but how they prove the bible and how the stars cry out the story of Jesus and the timing of that story.
This is so important for what is to come.
This is a long session but you will know the truth, and you will be free.
Virgo is such an important constellation because it tells of the coming Messiah by way of a virgin birth.
The Hebrew word for Virgo is “Betulah” and it means a virgin.
The Arabic word for Virgo means branch and this puts one in mind of Isaiah 11:1 which speaks of a rod coming forth from the stem of Jesse (ie. David the King) and a Branch growing out of his roots. This, as we understand by the subsequent verses is speaking of the Messiah,
Jesus.
There are, from ancient times many stories of the “Queen of Heaven” – a virgin bringing forth the Messiah. For instance, in ancient, sacred, Chinese literature it is said that “A virgin will bring forth a child in the west.” The dominant reason for this is because all people groups originated in the valley of Shinar at the tower of Babel following the flood.
This knowledge, of a virgin bringing forth the Messiah as is written in the stars was even carried to the far north of the Gaelic tribes. An altar, dated to 100 BC from northern Europe bears this inscription:
“To the virgin who is to bring forth”
