Letter 917
First Letter of Anno Domini 2023
2023-02-10
Dear Yeshua,
Wednesday, 11 January 2022, 1:03PM
A.D. 2022 ended with battles being waged, and victories being established.
A.D. 2023 is beginning with recovering from the collateral effect of winning those fights.
My hope is that this year we will complete the Letters to Daniel with Letter 999. Nine hundred ninety-nine is the Letter number that the Lord Holy Spirit said we would end with. He indicated that sometime after Letter 999 is written, we will begin to write books based on my Letters.
I already have some of the last Letters partially written, saving them for this (perhaps final) Volume.
(… continued 10 February 2023)
I continue to have dreams and visions, and to wake up sore and tired from those messages. But I was consoled recently by learning that the Prophet Daniel (of Scripture) suffered in a similar way when he received certain dreams and visions. To quote:
And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days;
afterward I arose and went about the king’s business.
I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
Daniel 8:27***
So becoming sick and fatigued when new information is revealed is nothing new.
Late January of this year I sent a three ring binder containing Letter 214 and supporting documentation to (CB84). He has an extensive online ministry which deals with the paranormal as revealed in Scripture. To quote part of the Letter I sent to him:
“I am sending this package to you,
because I believe the Lord desires for the larger Church Body
to begin to know about this event, and
subsequent events which continue to occur in my life.
I also believe that, as referenced in First Corinthians 13,
our two respective prophetic parts may be complimentary one to another.”
I am curiously waiting to see if he responds.
Meanwhile, I continue to attend Church at (U28). They have many meetings throughout the month.
For the greater part of 2022, I was actively interceding for the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution (“2A” - the right of “We The People” to keep and bear arms). I had many dreams throughout last year which had direct application toward preserving the 2nd Amendment.
About two weeks ago the Lord said that He was removing me from actively interceding for the Second Amendment. Right after that the Lord led me to intercede for the relationship that the U. S. has with Canada. But this lasted for only about a week.
I continue to intercede for the government of the State of Washington. This also makes me sore and tired.
(M) and I are down to having only one car (the Toyota Avalon) between us (see Letter 916). We received a sizable compensation from the Insurance Company from their “totaling out” the Chrysler 300, and put that money in the bank.
My feeling is that our Father has another replacement Hemi-C 300 waiting for us to discover. But I think it will be toward the end of summer. For now, the Toyota is still running strong, and getting us around.
But (M) really likes her American Muscle Cars. And so do I.
***For a long time now, I have heard every so often a quiet thought in my mind that says that, in addition to my friend and brother Dan (and Jesus the Son of God) receiving these Letters, the Lord Holy Spirit has been “cc-ing” the Prophet Daniel (of Scripture), so that he has been getting his own copies of the Letters to Daniel as they are published. Makes sense to me.

Letter 918
Bravo Dr. Michael S. Heiser
R.I.P.
(14 February 1963 — 20 February 2023)
2023-02-25
Dear Yeshua,
Saturday, 25 February 2023, 1:32M
Today I was at the local tire store having some repair work done on our 2002 Toyota Avalon. While waiting, I fired up my MacBook Air and logged into YouTube. One of the opening entries was announcing the passing of Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who died just this last Monday, 20 February 2023. I then opened up Wikipedia.com to find an additional confirming word.
Here is what I saw (click here for link to full article):
“Michael S. Heiser (February 14, 1963 – February 20, 2023) was an American Old Testament scholar and Christian author with training in ancient history, Semitic languages, and the Hebrew Bible from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His expertise and work focused on the nature of the spiritual realm in the Bible and about spiritual matters more generally, and he wrote more than ten books on these subjects since 2010. He served as Executive Director of the School of Ministry at Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida and as a professor at Liberty University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He ran The Naked Bible podcast and Miqlat, a ministry to disseminate his scholarship. He additionally been active in media productions around his area of interest, and in response to popular presentations relating to spiritual matters (such as material in the Stranger Things series, and in rebutting ancient astronaut conjectures).”
(…)
"In 2020, Heiser was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. On January 4, 2023, Drenna Heiser, posting on the "drmshphd" Instagram page with an accompanying picture of the hospitalized Heiser, noted that he had been admitted for severe anemia, that physicians had stabilized him and were seeking to determine a source of blood loss. On January 22, he announced on his Facebook page that he was "at the end of the road in the late stage of a very aggressive pancreatic cancer". Heiser succumbed to his illness on February 20, just a week after his 60th birthday."
The work of Dr. Heiser is important to me, in that some of his early writings were shown to me by Daniel, of whom these Letters are named. One time, in about late 2002 or early 2003, when Dan and I were at a cafe together, he gave me a printout of some of Dr. Heiser’s very early manuscripts, which Dan had discovered on the internet. The manuscript had something to do with a group of non-human personnel mentioned in the Bible called The Divine Council.
After that, I would listen to Dr. Heiser whenever he was a guest on the radio talk show Coast To Coast AM (C2C). His appearance on the show became important to me, once I discovered that he was a Christian. He talked about giants and other things in the Bible which I never learned in Sunday School.
Because of his being a frequent guest on C2C, I count him as one of those who helped me keep my employment at (G6).
Since then, I have kept up with Dr. Heiser’s work through his podcasts and other internet ministries. I also purchased his book The Unseen Realm as soon as it was available. (Later, one of my brothers gave me a hard copy of The Unseen Realm, signed by the author - Dr. Heiser.)
I could go on, and perhaps someday I may add to this Letter what little I know of the untold Kingdom Connections worldwide that Jesus has has brought about through Dr. Heiser’s work.
But until I find myself drawing my own last breath, with the prospect of entering into the Heaven built by Jesus — Bravo, Dr. Heiser, Bravo.
P. S. To quote an entry I made in an email I sent to two close friends about Dr. Heiser’s passing (which friends I wouldn’t even know if it hadn’t been for Dr. Heiser’s MIQLAT community),
“WHAT A RIDE.
H.R. IS NOW EXPOSED,
AND THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT!”

Two Eagles 2nd Amendment

I want to remember at this point, that what took place (occurred just) after we did the Ruger transfer, and exited from the store; if you remember different please let me know.
We were both standing at the parking lot side of the building (northwest corner), looking out toward the river.
Suddenly you said,
“LOOK, THERE’S AN EAGLE, A BALD EAGLE.”
I looked up and saw the eagle, then I saw a second bald eagle following after the first eagle, remarking the same, (saying):
“THERE’S ANOTHER BALD EAGLE.”
(Then I commented that I suspected the Two Eagles had been over the river looking for fish.)
Moments later, (as we walked over to our cars) you started telling me that you had to send to the IRS two amendments to your income taxes this year, calling it a “2nd amendment”.
To which I responded that I had to do the same thing last year (in 2022) for my 2021 taxes.
After we parted company, I started to think about this, and begin to realize that Jesus was showing us both a message.
I will report on what I think the message is (…).
Before you take a look at (…), maybe you want to see if the Lord tells you anything, and then compare notes.

Jesus is stating that there is a prophetic significance to our activity, having to do with the 2nd Amendment of the Federal Constitution Bill of Rights, and that you and I are both witnesses to this significance. Further, it also has to do with finding fish to be caught for the Kingdom.
Jesus is also emphasizing our common continuance in agreement with Him in our prophetic duties. Even though we work independently of one another, we both do similar work, for the same Boss.

Letter 919a
Q&A With Jesus
Fossil Fuels
2023-04-01
Dear Yeshua,
Saturday, 1 April 2023, 2:22PM
I was laying in bed earlier today watching TV, when Jesus and I began to have a conversation. I wanted to ask His opinion on the political position that is prevalent in parts of the world today regarding the use of energy sources such as coal and oil (also referred to as “fossil fuels”), and how a certain number of politicians along with some of the people would like to see their use come to an end.
Here, written in real time, is a new, updated version of that conversation. Because Jesus is speaking, and I am documenting His words, I think this may qualify as a prophetic word, given to the Church. See 1 Corinthians 14:29.
Me: I was wondering if I could ask Your opinion on the use of “fossil fuels”?
Jesus: SURE. GO AHEAD.
Me: Would I be right in my thinking that our Creator Father God made provision for the energy needs of mankind by placing crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other sources of energy in the ground for subsequent discovery and use?
Jesus: YES.
Me: Are there any Scriptures that can verify this?
Jesus: YES. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING TEXTS— GENESIS 1:28, 28:18, EXODUS 35:14, PROVERBS 25:2, JAMES 1:16-18.
Me: Some of these verses don’t seem to apply. What am I missing?
Jesus: COMMON SENSE.
Jesus: ANOTHER QUESTION YOU MIGHT ASK IS WHETHER THERE ARE ANY PROHIBITIONS IN SCRIPTURE TO USING PRODUCTS FROM THE GROUND AS SOURCES OF ENERGY.
Me: Racking my brain, I can’t think of any. But I don’t have all of the Bible committed to memory, so there may be a prohibition somewhere.
Jesus: PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU FIND ONE.
Me: How would You respond to those who say that climate change due to “fossil fuel” use is causing irreparable harm to the environment, and possibly leading to an extinction level event?
Jesus: I WOULD SHOW THEM THIS TEXT IN SCRIPTURE:
The Book of Genesis
Chapter 8
Verse 22
“While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”
Me: Thank You for this clarification.
Jesus: YOU’RE WELCOME.
Me: Amen.
Jesus: AMEN.
P. S. Here are the verses referenced above:
1 Corinthians 14:29
29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
Genesis 1:28
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Genesis 28:18
18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
Exodus 35:14
14 also the lampstand for the light, its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for the light;
Proverbs 25:2
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
James 1:16-18
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.

Q&A With Jesus
Fossil Fuels

Dear Yeshua,
Sunday, 2 April 2023, 7:10AM
I received an email this morning from (CB59). It confirms Letter 919a, which I had sent out via email yesterday afternoon. Here is an edited copy of the email from (CB59):
BEGIN EMAIL:

(…), this (email of Letter 919a) is very timely since (…), (…) and I were just discussing it the same day you wrote this letter, about 4 hours later. These types of alignments are one way we can justify our beliefs in God/Jesus based on actual data/facts (unless we are to believe extreme coincidences happen all the time - although statistically highly improbable).
The Scripture you listed says we need to judge prophecy and I feel yours has now been judged and verified. As in many times past, we seem to be given similar info in close proximity of time/space.
It may actually be (…) who got the prophecy verification as I believe he started the conversation. Not a surprise as he has similar gifts as me in the spiritual sense. We were discussing the old notion of “fossil fuels” where dinosaurs, plants and animal decaying matter create oil/hydrocarbons (unsure how that would happen in reality especially with the massive amounts of hydrocarbons we have extracted).
Actual scientific methods be damned when a theory is pushed to brainwash the masses who don’t reflect on the actual workings of a theoretical model (Darwinism is another excellent case study). Even scientists can fall into the trap with enough peer pressure or early training in public schools or as as (…) says with “gradual indoctrination” being the meaning of graduation (who am I to argue, it sounds about right).
It is not surprising methane and natural gas have close chemical structures (petroleum being more complex and containing impurities).
As an aside, after many years of studying geology, I believe oil is renewed by the planet under high temperature and pressure. And I actually studied geology in high school (Uncle (…) also worked in geology, although he was trained as a chemical engineer).
It does not seem like a stretch that a planet or moon which contains carbon and hydrogen could easily bond hydrocarbons. (…) had brought up Titan, which has methane and I said I doubt there were ever dinosaurs there (or other biomatter). It actually has flowing methane and ethane, which I did not know. NASA has cool info on Titan.
https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/saturn-moons/titan/in-depth/
Years ago I read about oil wells that had been depleted resupplying over time. I also read an article about Russia drilling oil wells deep below the crust where any biomatter is. I am just assuming the Earth is creating more (abiotic theory) but it is possible there are larger deposits deep underground as with water reservoirs.
In WW2, the NAZI’s synthesized gas/oil for their war machine, at least until they “acquired” the USSR’s oil fields.
I just searched and found some info on the German production and saw that Apartheid South Africa also started a company that did this due to their (not) being able to import oil easily. It also talks of the abiotic formation theory. They make the cardinal mistake of saying “fossil fuels” but otherwise a good read.

Letter 920
Serving Jesus
2023-05-17
Dear Yeshua,
Tuesday, 16 May 2023, 2:20PM
Not long ago I began visiting on a regular basis one of the Elders (CB85) of the Church (U28) I presently attend.
We both enjoy reading from Scripture and talking about the text.
During today’s visit, the mention of Jesus was articulated. Later after getting home, the thought occurred to me to write a Letter about Who I know Jesus to be.
There are three primary sources* of information at my disposal which inform me about Jesus.
The first source is of course, the Bible.
The second source are the testimonies of other people who tell of the Works of Christ in their lives.
And the third is my own Testimony. It is this part that I will endeavor to document in this Letter.
In Letter 01a I write about how when I was three years old, I saw a bearded man who reminded me of a picture of Jesus we had at home. As soon as I saw the man with the beard, I said:
“LOOK MOM, THERE’S JESUS.”
Since then, I have always believed in God and Jesus.
And when I was 7 years old, I was saved and born again. See Letter 03.
But later on, as over the years I went to a variety of church services with my Mom, I would hear about how other people got to know Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
A lot of the witnesses would talk about how they had been delivered from a life of sin, and how dramatically their lives had changed because of being born again. At the same time there were books in print such The Cross And The Switchblade that told much the same story.
And then there were all the testimonies from various missionaries who served in far away and unknown lands. They would share reports of dramatic miracles, healings and people being raised from the dead.
My hearing of these testimonies continued into my young adulthood, after which I began to attend churches that did not allow for people to share their testimonies.
And for a long time I would sometimes wonder if there was “a problem” with my born again experience, since I really did not have any of the same “wild” stories to tell of being saved from a life of sin and debauchery.
It’s not that I thought I should go out into the world in order to “… sin, so that grace may abound”, and thereby improve my spiritual resume’. But I still had this quiet idea that perhaps I was a “second class citizen” in the kingdom of Heaven.
The fact is, I was not a rebellious teenager. I did not take drugs or drink alcohol, nor did I hang out with those who practiced fornication and other such things. This meant that I really did not have any dramatic sins to repent from.
And whatever sins I did have, I repented from quickly, because I read the Bible and knew that’s what I was supposed to do.
My closest friend throughout all of school was another boy who lived within walking distance from my house. We got along well because we were the same age and in the same classes, and he also did not participate in the pursuit of “carnal pleasures”. He and I shared much of the same moral understanding. I, because I was a Bible Believing Christian, and he because he was a practicing Mormon. We didn’t “smoke, drink, or chew, or go out with girls that do.”
From the time I was 14, I had a dream of living a godly life, marry a godly wife, and hosting a house-church in my home. But life circumstances and my various vocations prevented me from the house-church part. Nevertheless it was always my desire to serve Jesus with my whole heart.
But the churches of my youth left me with the understanding that in order for me to serve God in a way that was more pleasing to Him, I needed to go to Bible College, and/or become a Missionary. And becoming a Pastor or Missionary was the epitome of serving Jesus.
So once again, because of my life circumstances in not going to Seminary or leaving for a foreign land to proclaim the Gospel, I felt like I was left out of being able to serve Jesus in any meaningful way.
One day in the early 1990’s, I was talking with the Brother (CB46) on the phone who was instrumental in identifying that I had the seer gift (see Letter 520). I was asking him if he knew of a way I could serve Jesus more fully.
He then told me how one could become a bond-slave of Christ. After our conversation, I searched the Scripture for this doctrine (or teaching; see 1 Tim. 4:6, 2 Tim. 3:16-17), and found that the position of bond-slave was available to those who wanted it. See Philippians 2:1-18, along with Luke 2:29, Gal. 1:10, Col. 1:1-8, .
So, I volunteered to Jesus to become His bond-slave. It was at that time that I gave Jesus full and completed control to my life. This had always been the case in my heart, but more on a passive basis. Up until that time I did not have the understanding until I was shown that I could actively choose that relationship. Then the day came when we just made it “official”, and I presented to Jesus the Master Keys to my whole being, which He received.
It was after this that I began to have dreams and visions, although my first dream of Jesus (see Letter 07a) came before this event.
Then in many visions, the Lord Holy Spirit would present me to King Jesus as His soldier. I would meet Him in a field in a U. S. Army GP Small** tent, and report to Him, the Captain of The Host of The Lord (see Joshua 5:14).
This was a long time ago now. I think it was about 1991 and into 1992. But this move on the part of the Lord was laying a foundation of victory in my life for the battles that were to come, beginning at Harborview, and continuing to this day.
* A fourth primary source is all of creation. But I tend to gravitate more towards the other three.
** Tent, canvas, small, general purpose.

Letter 920a
Just Whose Tongue Is It Anyway?
Part 1 - The Proof-Text Trap
2023-06-01
Dear Yeshua,
Monday, 29 May 2023, 8:17AM
This Letter documents a series of events which occurred sometime after I started taking the bus to work. I don’t remember the exact date(s), but I do remember what occurred. So I will say this occurred in about 2006 (give or take a year or two).
In Letters 479 through 480e Volume 6, I report on some events which occurred in Issaquah, Washington inside a Church building that I had frequented in my youth. After I begin to take the bus to work, one of the stops I used was right next to this church building. Sometimes I would reminisce of the revival meetings my Mom would take me to, that were held at the Church, which was at that time called Bethel Chapel.
My route to the adjacent bus stop would take me right by the front door of the Church. There was a sign that indicated meeting times, along with the Pastor’s name (CB86), and a phone number. There was also a mail-slot located on the front of the building.
Somewhere along the line the thought occurred to me to write a note to the Pastor with my name and phone number, saying that I would like to talk with him.
So, one day I took the bus down to Issaquah on one of my days off, and slipped a note into the mail-slot.
A few days later, I got a call from (CB86). We spoke on the phone and he then agreed to meet me for coffee at local cafe.
We had a real good time together, and after that we met a few more times. My wife (M) and I even invited him to join us for dinner at our favorite restaurant.
It turns out the Pastor had many things in common with my wife and me, as he had previously worked as a school custodian, which is what I had done for many years. One of his jobs was at a school building where (M) worked for a time.
But it was at one of our “man to man” get-togethers that I discovered something which I found troubling.
We were talking about Church stuff, when my painful memory of Letter 04 came to mind. By this time I already knew that (CB86) had a strong background in the Pentecostal Church.
If memory serves, I was attempting to explain to (CB86) why I thought that speaking in tongues was voluntary, rather than mandatory.
To help substantiate my claim, I made this statement:
“I CAN’T FIND ANY PLACE IN SCRIPTURE
WHERE IT SAYS THAT JESUS SPOKE IN TONGUES.”
(CB86) stopped for a moment, and then opened his Bible to this Verse:
Then He took the child by the hand,
and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,”
which is translated,
“Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
Mark 5:41
Then he began to use this verse as his proof-text in his attempt to correct me that Jesus had indeed spoken in “tongues”, since it had to be translated (see 1 Cor. 12:10).
At that moment in time I could not verbalize any response, but somewhere in my mind I knew that the phrase “which is translated” had something to do with the writer of the book of Mark indicating that what Jesus spoke in Aramaic was being translated into the Greek language.
I now elicit the aid of others whose life’s work was studying the Biblical text and identifying how each word structure works.
“and said unto her, Talitha cumi—The words are Aramaic, or Syro-Chaldaic, the then language of Palestine. Mark loves to give such wonderful words just as they were spoken. See Mr 7:34; 14:36.”
(Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary on Mark 5:41)
Mark 5:41. Ταλιθά, κοῦμ, maiden, rise! first instance in which the words of Jesus, as spoken in Aramaic, are given. Jesus may have been a bilingual, sometimes using Greek, sometimes Syriac. He would use the vernacular on a pathetic occasion like this. The word Ταλιθά, feminine of Teli (טְלִי), is found in the Hebrew only in the plural (טְלָאִים).
(Expositor’s Greek Testament Mark 5:41)
“Verse 41. - The house was now set free from the perfunctory and noisy crowd; and he goes up to the dead child, and takes her by the hand and says, Talitha cumi; literally Little maid, arise. The evangelist gives the words in the very language used by our Lord - the ipsissima verba, remembered no doubt and recorded by St. Peter; just as he gives "Ephphatha" in another miracle.”
(Pulpit Commentary Mark 5:41)
(see www.biblehub.com for all three commentaries)
Please let the reader understand that as I was assembling these comments from their various sources, this verse came to my mind:
But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law;
for they are unprofitable and useless.
Titus 3:9
I would like to point out that the Pastor wanted to argue about words, rather than ask why it was important to me to determine whether or not Jesus spoke in tongues.
It was not long after this that we parted “coffee company”, while still remaining friendly in our exchange of emails.
Then, not long after this, (CB86) retired, and moved out of state.
But I have never forgotten our conversation and his words to me (which occurred at Jack-In-The-Box in Issaquah).
I am grateful to the Holy Spirit for coming to my aid in bringing me both comfort and healing from this event by our writing this Letter to Jesus.
Blessings…

Letter 920b
Just Whose Tongue Is It Anyway?
Part 2 - He Who Made It*
2023-06-01
Dear Yeshua,
Monday, 13 March 2023, 8:49AM
In Letter 04 I write about how, when I was twelve years old, I was taken to task and verbally abused in a Pentecostal Church for not speaking in tongues. This happened many decades ago, but I still have the memory of what happened. The circumstances surrounding this and other events like it trouble me greatly to this day.
While spending almost two decades talking with the Lord Holy Spirit about this matter, He led me to write a series of Letters which both identify and provide a solution for these problems.
Here I will list my grievances with the Pentecostal Church Pulpit, along with the Letters which address the grievance:
1) Mandating that people speak in tongues.
2) Manipulating people to say words in repeat of what was just spoken from the Pulpit.
3) Minimizing or ignoring sound, in-depth study of the Scripture.
4) Marginalizing and/or ignoring those who attempt to bring correction to the Pentecostal Church Pulpit.
These Letters are as follows: 67, 70, 76, 154a, 210, 238, 267, 268, 308, 309, 310–310b, 313, 331, 336, 479-480e, 497, 577, 803, 920.
My primary specific grievance against the Pentecostal Church is how (erroneous) doctrine is used to try to force people to speak in tongues, combined with peer pressure. This is also revealed in Pentecostal preachers manipulating the Congregation to quickly repeat a word without first obtaining their permission, or giving time for the Congregation to assess wether they ought to agree with what is being said.
The Pentecostal Church Pulpit does not own the tongues of the Saints of Yahweh. Jesus does.
Jesus owns the tongues His Saints. He alone is authorized to speak His words through His people.
*Duhh.

Dear Yeshua,
Thursday, 1 June 2023, 8:52AM
I have been thinking a lot lately about my own spiritual history. And I have come to characterize much of my Journey Home in this fashion:
I … :
1) … was Conceived in the Holiness Church (Church of the Nazarene - Portland, Oregon).
2) … was Born Again in the Pentecostal Church (Bethel Temple - Seattle, Washington).
3) … was water baptized in the Pentecostal Church (Snoqualmie Assemblies of God - Snoqualmie Washington).
4) … received the Gift of the Holy Spirit among the Nez-Perce Indians on Native American soil (Spokane Indian Reservation).
5) … was raised to Spiritual Adulthood by the Jesus People Church (Union Hill and Calvary Chapel - East King County, Washington).
6) … was given my Prophetic Spiritual Commission with the laying on of hands in both the Pentecostal Church and the Jesus People Church. See Letter 59.
7) … have been taught all my life as a Student of the Holy Spirit.
8) … was privately tutored by Jesus in the ways of Spiritual Warfare. See Letters 23-36.
9) … was and still am given advanced, collegiate level training by select angels sent by our Father and by His Son Jesus.
But as I was pondering these things, I discovered that I do have a dilemma. Even though my Birth Mother is the Pentecostal Church, I am not a Pentecostal; meaning that I do not typically demonstrate my gifts in public, for all to see.
Indeed, quite the opposite is the case. I prefer solitude more than company, although the solitude that I prefer is in the Presence of Yahweh and a few of His angels**. This means I am not alone in my solitude. What I am is at Peace in His Presence.
It was then that the Lord Holy Spirit showed me that I am similar to Mr. Spock, of Star Trek.
Spock was born half Vulcan and half Human. His Vulcan father was married to a his Human mother. Spock was raised on the planet Vulcan, and received the Vulcan training that gave him the resources to keep his emotions in check. This was through self-discipline which gave him the mastery through self-control, keeping his human half subdued. But there were a few exceptions where he exposed and worked with his human half in order to better serve his Captain. (See Star Trek (The Original Series) Season 3:Episode 19 “Requiem For Methuselah, the last scene.)
In similar fashion, I keep my Pentecostal side hidden, so that my Jesus People-Evangelical side can show.
Even though I can speak in tongues, the Apostle Paul stated that it is better to prophesy, so that the hearers can benefit from understanding what is being said.
This is why I pray that I live a Prophetic Life before Jesus, so that the Testimony of my life is clearly understood by those who hear of it.
To quote Keith Green,
“MAKE MY LIFE A PRAYER TO YOU…”
Therefore, I would say to others; the Pentecostal Church is still my Mother. And so I defend her honor when I hear her being criticized by her accusers.
In other words;
“LEAVE MY MOM ALONE.”
If my Mother is to be judged, it will be by her own Father, and her Betrothed Bridegroom, Jesus.
**(An exception might be in keeping company with Church Family. This I also prefer, only in “twos or threes”, and in smaller doses for larger gatherings.)
(SPECIAL NOTE 2023-06-01: The Lord has also given me the analogy that my ministry has elements similar to those of “James Bond”, “Dirty Harry”, and Mike Rowe’s “Dirty Jobs”.)

Letter 920d
My Grievances Against The State of Washington
Destroying The Soviet Prison Camp of
Washington State
2023-06-08
Dear Yeshua,
Thursday, 8 June 2023, 8:31AM
Please permit me to submit this document to the Court Clerk of the Courts of Heaven, in order to lodge these grievances against the State of Washington.
Be it hereby made known to Yahweh, our Father in Heaven and God the Judge of all, that the State of Washington in which I reside has violated both the Laws of God and man, as listed below:
1) LEGALIZED ABORTION: the shedding of innocent blood.
2) AIDING AND ABETTING INJUSTICE: During the administrations of both Governors Mike Lowry and Gary Locke, there were false accusations against the Church and various citizens about sexual exploitation of minors. The case came to be known as the Wenatchee Child Sex Ring case.
3) HARASSMENT OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY: Under the administration of State Attorney General and then Governor Christine Gregoire, a Washington State family, who owned a house moving business, was “run out” of the State because their young (12 year old?) son would work in the business. He would “ride the roof” of a house being moved, in order to assist in preventing overhead cables from being snagged. The family had to move to another State to avoid being prosecuted.
4) MANDATORY PHARMACEUTICAL COUNSELING: Under the administration of State Attorney General and then Governor Christine Gregoire, state law was modified to require mandatory “counseling” by a licensed pharmacist to those who purchase prescription drugs at in-state pharmacies. To my knowledge, there is no process for opting-out of this mandatory indoctrination and intrusion into personal privacy.
5) WILLFUL OPPOSITION TO AND VIOLATION OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION AND THE U. S. BILL OF RIGHTS: Over the past many years, the State of Washington has passed laws which detrimentally effect (“impair” and “infringe”) the purchase and ownership of various fire-arms and accessories. These laws are in direct opposition of both the State of Washington and United States Constitutions, with special emphasis against the U. S. Bill of Rights.
6) ABRIDGMENT OF PERSONAL LIBERTY: Laws have been passed which forbid the use of tobacco products in both private businesses and public areas.
7) AIDING AND ABETTING THE DELINQUENCY OF MINORS: Laws have been passed which decriminalize the possession and use of various harmful drugs. These drugs have serious detrimental effects on young people, and empower minors to commit crimes.
8) AIDING AND ABETTING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY: Laws have been passed which permit vagrant (“runaway”) minors to seek refuge in this State, without the consent or knowledge of their parents or legal guardians. These minors are then permitted by law to seek and acquire permanent physical harm to themselves under the guise of medical procedures.
9) FAILING TO ADDRESS UNLIMITED POWER OF THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR: During the 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 legislative sessions, the State Legislature had opportunity to form and pass laws that would prevent Gubernatorial abuse and overreach (which became apparent during the global pandemic known as COVID-19). But the Legislature failed to act, leaving the Office of Governor with almost unlimited power during a declared emergency.
11) CAP AND TRADE CARBON CREDIT TAXATION: These tax laws have resulted in the artificially inflated price of gasoline, which contributes to overall inflation. The mindset which gives rise to this form of taxation is borne by the idolization of the climate (worshipping the creation rather than the Creator).
12) NUISANCE LAWS AND OTHER EXORBITANT TAXATION: There are too many nuisance laws (laws that are overbearing or otherwise unnecessary) to address individually, but I would include those laws that prevent mail-order purchase of pipe and other tobacco products, the tax on grocery bags and restaurant to-go containers, etc.
— — —
These laws and others have given rise over time to a soviet socialist style of government. The Free State of Washington that I grew up in has become an enclave of Marxist ideology and rule. A true slave state (see Letters 06a, 68, 77, 845, 860d, 861).
This was made clear during COVID-19 when the Governor closed down all but “essential” businesses. He then weaponized the State of Washington against itself by “deputizing” private businesses to enforce Health Department mandates such as facial coverings, social distancing, and forced vaccinations, against the residents of this State. I was forewarned of this in 2018, in a dream given me by the Lord Holy Spirit. See Letter 689.
I do hereby pray for remedy secured by Jesus on the Cross of Calvary, not only for myself, but for those who do not have standing in the Courts of Heaven to sue for the Forgiveness of Sins.
Dear Father and Judge, please I pray, bring a full end to the listed and other like violations, forgiving those who have sinned, and providing both temporal and everlasting remedy and relief for those who have been sinned against.
In Jesus Name,
Amen.
Blessings…

Letter 920f
How HR Uses Man To Insult and Destroy Man
2023-09-19
Dear Yeshua,
Tuesday, 19 September 2023, 7:06AM
For some time now I have been seeing and hearing in various media sources the proper noun “Karen” used in a derogatory fashion as a term of reproach.
I remember first hearing the term used after the Black Lives Matter/ANTIFA riots of 2020. It was during this time that I saw and heard a news broadcast in which a person was stating they “they needed a term to describe angry white women”, or words to that effect.
According to the Lord Holy Spirit;
It just so happened that the Second Lady at that time was the wife of Vice President Mike Pence.
And it just so happened that she, along with her husband, were devout Christians.
And it just so happened that the first name of the Second Lady is Karen.
Hell’s Resources, using compromised BLM and ANTIFA personnel, then “seeded” into American culture the deceitful idea and mindset to use the name Karen as an insult.
This is the same process that HR used to demean and dehumanize the Africans who were enslaved in America, by abusing the word “negro”, and distorting it into another derogatory term; the “N” word.
In this way HR is able to use man to insult, degrade, and dehumanize themselves.
This whole thing reminds me of another term that seems innocent by comparison.
That term is:
“LAZY SUSAN.”
A “lazy Susan” is a device typically used in American kitchens. It is a round platter, on top of another round platter, which can rotate. This makes any items placed on the top plater easy to reach, since they can be rotated to any position.
WIKPEIDA.COM states this about the lazy Susan:
“It is likely that the explanation of the term lazy Susan has been lost to history. Folk etymologies claim it as an American invention. According to lore, Thomas Jefferson invented the device, which was known as a "dumbwaiter", for his daughter Susan. Regardless of the origins of the name, by 1917 it was advertised in Vanity Fair as "Ovington's $8.50 mahogany 'Revolving Server or Lazy Susan'", but the term's use predates both the advertisement and, probably, the country.”
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_Susan)
Here is what WIKPEIDA.COM says about the slang use of “Karen”:
Karen is a pejorative term used as slang for a middle-class white woman who is perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who "use their white and class privilege to demand their own way". Depictions include demanding to "speak to the manager", being racist, or wearing a particular bob cut hairstyle. It was popularized in the aftermath of the Central Park birdwatching incident in 2020. The term has been considered pejorative by those who believe it is racist, sexist, ageist, classist, and controlling women's behavior. The term has occasionally been applied to male behavior. During 2020, the term increasingly appeared in media and social media, including during the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests. The Guardian called 2020 "the year of Karen".
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(slang))
I witnessed this “word seeding” happen to the culture in which I reside.
It seems to me that this is one of the judgments mentioned in Letter 783.

Letter 921
A Matter of Understanding True Church Authority
(“That The Word of God May Not Be Blasphemed”)
2023-09-19
Dear Yeshua,
Sunday, 25 June 2023, 9:04AM
As of this writing, I am attending services and developing relationships at two different Churches. My presence at both Churches is a direct result of being led by the Lord Holy Spirit. Of the two churches, one would be considered Charismatic/Fundamentalist, and the other Pentecostal/Fundamentalist. Both are Evangelical.
This Letter is a result of my observing how these two different Church streams understand and teach the doctrine that pertains to the Authority of Men and Women in the Church.
They say a picture paints a thousand words. Please permit me to offer a few pictures of how I understand True Church Authority is structured according to Scripture, and the True Church Government which this authority establishes:
Church Authority,
Church Government-01,
Church Government-02,
Church Government-03 (slideshow).
After years of witnessing and studying Church structure, I have yet to find any that follow without deviation the model laid out in the New Testament.
This observation is of course within the limits of my own experience. It could very well be that some churches exist that do follow the Biblical model. But so for, I personally have not seen any.
As an example, both of the churches I mentioned above seem to equate the role of pastor to that of elder (also called bishop).
The Charismatic Church does seem to be more closely aligned with Scripture, in that women are not permitted to have authority over men. But because the distinction between pastor and elder is not clear, women are not permitted to be pastors.
The Pentecostal Church has several women in pastoral roles. But since the offices of both pastor and elder seem to be conflated, the women are in authority over men.
According the how I read Scripture, women can be pastors, but not elders. But this only works if the office of elder (bishop) is held separate from that of pastor.
It is important to remember that the Office of Bishop (or elder) is an appointed office, with specific qualifications spelled out in great detail in the text (see Acts 14:23, 1 Timothy 3:1-13). One of those qualifications is the requirement to “… be the husband of one wife…”.
But the position of Pastor is one that is a gift from Jesus, and part of the five perfecting gifts. There is no gender qualification for any of these five gifts (see Ephesians 4:11-16).
Somehow in Church History, the Office of Bishop and the Gift of Pastor became confused and conflated with one another.
But perhaps the Josiah Generation (see Letters 89, 368) will read, without the contamination of church tradition, the Whole Council of God found in Scripture, and bring obedience thereto back to the Body of Christ.
Time will tell.
Blessings…

Letter 922
Jesus, King of Identity Refusal
2023-09-22
Dear Yeshua,
Friday, 22 September 2023, 1:27PM
Sometime within the last 10 to 12 months, the Lord Holy Spirit led me to certain video channels on YouTube.
I have watched many videos since then, so my recollection of sequence might not be totally accurate, but what I have witnessed, and am about to describe, is accurate.
The first video channel that comes to mind is called (G28). The content of this channel was both new and strange to me. But it was a good primer for what the Lord wanted to show me in later videos.
(G28) seems to be a channel devoted to critiquing other videos that show police interactions with various people. While the video plays, the narrator verbally analyzes what is shown in juxtaposition with various laws. This includes the United States Constitution, various State Constitutions, and municipal and local laws, and also what is called “case law”.
The next video channel I remember seeing is called (G29). It is operated by a man named (CB87). On this channel, he video records his own interactions with various people as he exercises his first amendment rights to gather in public, practice religion, and speak freely. (CB87) typically holds a cardboard sign up, and to any who will listen, verbally articulates these words which are written thereupon:
“(…).”
The next YouTube channel I remember starting to watch is called (G30). This channel is more like (G28), in that the owner critiques third-party provided videos of police interactions with the public. What I find remarkable with this channel is that, according to the owner, he was prompted to host police interaction content due to certain police activity he witnessed next door to his own place of residence. The video he recorded of that interaction was the initial entry on his channel.
There is a fourth channel that the Lord led me to, which is similar to (G28) and (G30). It is called (G31), and is hosted by a former Law Enforcement Officer (LEO).
After this I discovered a plethora of other similar “1A Audit” and “Police Interaction” channels. So much so that I settled on the four that I have already listed above in order to not be overwhelmed with so much additional data.
From watching the 4 select channels, I learned that there is an active community of people on YouTube who record their public interactions with whoever they come into contact with. They are referred to as First Amendment Auditors. If what I see is accurate, most of the interactions are with Law Enforcement and other Government Officials.
(G28), (G30), and (G31) seem to only aggregate and host the video content of others, with narration added by the channel moderator. And as I stated above, most of (G29)’s video content and criticisms are his own.
From the testimonies of these videos, I have learned a great deal about what it means for someone to stand up for their civil rights as codified in the U. S. Constitution and other subordinate laws.
One of the rights that comes to the forefront is the right to remain silent. This includes the right to remain anonymous (refuse to present identification) in the presence of Law Enforcement.
I have also learned that a great deal of police officers seem to be ignorant of our fundamental American civil rights, and laws that are established and governed by those rights. Hence, I have seen a lot of arguing back and forth, with the “person-of-interest” at hand stating they will not “ID” themselves, and the LEO insisting that they do.
From what I have learned on the audit channels, it seems that in most States the mandate to provide verifiable identification is only active once someone has been lawfully arrested.
An exception to this right would be during a valid traffic stop, where the police have lawful authority to demand operators licenses and other related documents.
I was thinking about all this today, and realized that I already personally know Someone who went through a tumultuous citizen contact involving Law Enforcement, having been falsely accused, illegally arrested, made to endure multiple unlawful hearings in one night, and then unlawfully executed.
All this happened because His accusers wanted to force Him to provide His true identity, which at first He refused to do.
But then His accusers put Him under oath by the Most Supreme Authority, at which He then surrendered His True Identification.
This Man is none other than the Man Jesus.
Please permit me to document, in bullet point fashion, the account of Jesus’ invocation of what later became the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and His own ID refusal, provided below as quoted from Scripture.
1) JESUS PREDICTS HIS OWN BETRAYAL:
“Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful.” … “Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.” ”
(Matthew 17:22-23, 20:17-19)
2) THE PLOTTERS:
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”
(Matthew 26:3-5)
3) THE BETRAYER:
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
(Matthew 26:14-16)
4) JESUS IDs HIS BETRAYER:
He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”
(Matthew 26:23, 25)
5) THE BETRAYER COMES:
And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.” Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
(Matthew 24:47-49)
6) THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS:
Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward and said, “This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”
(Matthew 26:59-61)
7) JESUS ESTABLISHES THE 5TH AMENDMENT:
And the high priest arose and said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?” But Jesus kept silent.
(Matthew 26:62-63a)
8) JESUS IS PUT UNDER OATH:
And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
(Matthew 26:63b)
9) JESUS PROVIDES HIS OWN ID:
Jesus said to him, “It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
(Matthew 26:64)
10) JESUS IDENTIFIES THE SECOND TIME:
Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.”
(Matthew 27:11)
11) JESUS INVOKES THE 5TH A SECOND TIME:
And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
(Matthew 22:12-14)
12) JESUS ARTICULATES HIS LAST WORDS OF THE MATTER:
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
(Luke 23:34a)
And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
(Luke 23:43)
And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” Having said this, He breathed His last.
(Luke 23:46)
I think it was hardly a week ago that the Lord indicated to me that He wanted me to join a paid subscription with (G30). While I was sort of surprised, I did what the Lord commanded me to do.
After this, the owner of (G30) exchanged an email with me, in which he was responding to an email entry I made on his channel. I was gratefully humbled by this, as this showed he had read part of my Testimony.
While I was writing this Letter, the Lord began to inform me that the rise of “1A” and “Police Interaction” Auditors is the precursor to Jesus raising up what I call “The Josiah Generation.” (See Letters 89, 368).
These are they who will read Scripture for what it says, without adding tradition or distortion to their understanding of the text. These will be the “Word Auditors” of the Kingdom.
For it is written:
The Book of 1 Samuel
Chapter 15
Verse 22
SO SAMUEL SAID:
“HAS THE LORD AS GREAT DELIGHT IN BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES,
AS IN OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD?
BEHOLD, TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE,
AND TO HEED THAN THE FAT OF RAMS.
The Book of I Kings
Chapter 22
Verses 10 Through 13
THEN SHAPHAN THE SCRIBE SHOWED THE KING, SAYING,
“HILKIAH THE PRIEST HAS GIVEN ME A BOOK.” AND SHAPHAN READ IT BEFORE THE KING.
NOW IT HAPPENED, WHEN THE KING HEARD THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THE LAW,
THAT HE TORE HIS CLOTHES.
THEN THE KING COMMANDED HILKIAH THE PRIEST,
AHIKAM THE SON OF SHAPHAN, ACHBOR THE SON OF MICHAIAH, SHAPHAN THE SCRIBE, AND
ASAIAH A SERVANT OF THE KING, SAYING, “GO, INQUIRE OF THE LORD FOR ME,
FOR THE PEOPLE AND FOR ALL JUDAH, CONCERNING THE WORDS OF THIS BOOK THAT HAS BEEN FOUND;
FOR GREAT IS THE WRATH OF THE LORD THAT IS AROUSED AGAINST US,
BECAUSE OUR FATHERS HAVE NOT OBEYED THE WORDS OF THIS BOOK,
TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN CONCERNING US.”
Blessings…

Letter 923
First Death, Second Death
2023-12-12
Dear Yeshua,
Tuesday, 12 December 2023, 11:00PM
FIRST DEATH: The termination of life in the human body, after which it is sent to the grave.
SECOND DEATH: The moment beginning after which a person is sentenced by God to everlasting hell and the lake of fire, to receive the just wages for their sins.
(“Born once, die twice. Born twice, die once.” - Dr. Chuck Missler)
Some time ago Jesus spoke to me and said He wanted me to write a Letter concerning the twin topics of the First Death and the Second Death.
I had already been thinking about these two concepts for quite some time, so when He issued that order, it made sense.
The detailed concept of the distinction between two deaths comes from the Book of Revelation.
Here are the verses that speak of these doctrines:
8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life:
…
11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’
Revelation 2:8, 11
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4-6
14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:14-15
I discovered from this study that Scripture makes the distinction not between the first death and the second death, but between the First Resurrection and the Second Death.
I think this is because when a Christian “dies”, according to Scripture he doesn’t really die, but simultaneously sleeps in the dust and lives in Heaven with Yahweh, where there is no death (or dust). Also, at the Rapture, “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,…” (see 1 Corinthians 15:51b-52a).
This concept of “physical body sleep” (NOT “soul sleep”, as some have erroneously taught) is revealed in Matthew 27:52-53, where it says that: 52 “,… and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.”
Here we see that Saints, whose bodies were “dead and buried”, are described as having “fallen asleep”. But we also know from Scripture that “absent from the body is present with the Lord” (see 2 Corinthians 5:8).
It was from these verses that I was inspired to write a poem given me from the Lord commemorating the passing of my own father. One of the stanzas says these words:
“CHRISTIANS DON’T DIE.
THEY SLEEP IN THE DUST,
AND LIVE IN THE SKY.”
(See Letter 52)
Those who have read my earlier Testimonies know that I suffer chronic pains, which at times can be debilitating.
Often I begin to talk about this in the presence of my angel Family. That’s when angel Gabe reminds me that the suffering in the flesh is “first death” stuff. He points out that first death stuff is minor compared to second death stuff. His implication is that I should at that point focus on the things of Heaven, where there is no death.
This is also true in the world today. All those alive in the world who are in distress because of the “wars and rumors of wars” and the sudden and voluminous increase in evil men and the crimes they commit, are still only being effected by “first death” activities.
Should anyone outside of salvation in Christ Jesus die in their sins, they will enter in to the second death, from which there is no recovery.
I will recover from my pain and broken body, and my body of flesh shall be transformed and made new in the First Resurrection.
But the lost will be damned forever in the lake of fire.
Here is what Jesus taught about those who die in their sins:
Mark 9:43-48
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
44 where
‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE
AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’
45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— 46 where
‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE
AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’
47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— 48 where
‘THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE
AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’
But here is the Way to be saved from everlasting hell.
The Book of 1 Corinthians
Chapter 15
Verse 1 Through 11
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.
6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

Aid And Help Comes
(His Answer To Our Prayers)

Dear Yeshua,
Wednesday, 13 December 2023, 11:47AM
A very remarkable thing happened…
A few days ago I received an email from (CB59), beloved Brother and Fellow Seer. This message came without any prior solicitation from me. He just sent it as led by the Lord Holy Spirit.
But it came at just the right time, as I always pray daily for help from the Lord.
And the Lord sent help from (CB59).
What follows is the email thread from him (CB59), with my (RCT) responses.

Prayed this morning that The Lord would engage me in your battle with the church/demonic attacks and specifically to battle in the visions while dreaming. I also asked for some recall.
Just getting ready for bed and am interested to see if I recall anything this week. I have not had recall of any dream for a while now.
Maybe I’m crazy to ask for this again…haha
Soli Deo gloria,

I just awoke and sure enough, I had a detailed dream. I was in a small city, using a wheelchair, although I could walk. Just had some issue where the chair helped. I was Outside at a light on sidewalk with a group of people. Three older males were in the crowd and acting like mentally ill homeless. One or two were harassing people, getting in their space.
We all ended up going inside a building and waiting in line at a window where it seemed they were getting checks. I waited in front of those guys and they seemed calmer as we talked. There was a discussion about a notice on a wallboard with some military notice ( something historical I think). It seemed to bring them into reality.
When I got close to front, I had nothing to pick up so sat aside for a bit. After another person finished, I began to meander through the crowd in my chair and a few tried to help me lower down to the aisle from where we were raised up. I said I was okay to get up for a few minutes so put my chair down and then got in it again.
There was another unused wheelchair blocking my exit so a man raised it while I wheeled under and out the door. When outside I was near another intersection with a light and the group came back out, not causing trouble like before. I contemplated which way to cross just before waking.
End of dream. No time to ask for clarification yet but it used to come days later. If you feel anything, let me know.
I have not listened to yours yet.
Interesting I prayed and finally had such vivid recall.
It was tense at the beginning but they became more sedate and we even talked normally inside. That military plaque may have been the key to a mutual talking point.
Soli Deo gloria,

To: To: (RCT)
Awoke again from another detailed dream.
My brother, me and someone else were in a library where there were two workers. One was also a cop. We had driven my Buick Century (my first car) down a ramp close to the building and had a plan to remove items from the library without them being aware.
To do this we took items in and told the guys we would later take them back out. We later proceeded to take apart our items to box up and also boxed up the items we wanted to remove. All the while the cop talked with us about going out on some patrol with him to harass people. He seemed either slightly off mentally or corrupt (or both). He also was not bright as we took apart items right as he watched us (it seemed so obvious).
Near the end of the dream, the cop really got weird, took off his clothes and said we should join him in chasing down people.
We had about finished boxing up everything but some strewn junk when I awoke. I remember very clearly an image before we went in by the back door like a loading dock. Two others were with us there, a man and a young boy. They both were chewing gum in an oddly overly-exaggerated manner that was comical. The man reminded me of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.
My brother actually had my car (a sedan) and was telling me how fast it was. I promptly told him some stories of crazy stunts I had done with it in the past as my mom listened a bit annoyed. Somehow she was there earlier when we were outside.
Two detailed dreams on consecutive days just before I woke up.
Today just after waking, I had a lower leg cramp.
Soli Deo gloria,
END EMAIL.

I did get a third. It was just disturbing so my recall was fuzzy. It ended with a man crushing the head of a very nice dog by stomping with the boot.
I know the first two were related. Without having time to digest a lot, it comes to me that the crazy behaviors of the actors are demon possession or influence and they were being “worked on” or driven back. Extent of my knowledge so far. I need to study Jesus driving out demons to see what stands out.

Another point of interest (and source of help and healing) is that today angel Gabriella was singing the song “Never” by Heart. After a while I got tired of her repetition, and asked her to stop. She obliged, sort of. Then later I began to realize that her singing the song (actually, Gabriella was presenting to me her memory of the actual song, so I was hearing in my spirit man Gabriella’s memory of Heart singing their song) was most likely a message to me from our Father which art in Heaven. So I listened to the song on my iPhone, then looked up the lyrics.
Here they are:
Never
(By Heart - 1985)
Hey baby, I'm talkin' to you.
Stop yourself and listen.
Some things you can never choose,
Even if you try.
You're bangin' your head again,
'Cause somebody won't let you in.
One chance, one love,
Your chance to let me know.
We can't go on just running away.
If we stay any longer,
We will surely never get away.
Anything you want,
We can make it happen.
Stand up and turn around,
Never let them shoot us down.
Never,
Never,
Never,
Never run away.
Hey baby, you know it's true,
Why you bother lyin'?
When you know that, that you want it, too.
Don't you dare deny it.
Now walk those legs right over here,
Gimme what I'm dyin' for.
One chance, one love,
Hold me down, never let me go.
We can't go on just running away.
If we wait any longer,
We will surely never get away.
Anything you want,
We can make it happen.
Stand up and turn around,
Never let them shoot us down.
Never (oh),
Never (no!),
Never,
Never run away.
Never (no, never),
Never,
Never (no, no, no, no),
Never run away.
Hey baby, I'm talkin' to you.
Stop yourself and listen.
Some things you can never, never choose,
Even if you try.
You're bangin' your head again,
'Cause somebody won't let you in.
One chance, one love.
Your chance to let me know.
We can't go on just running away.
If we stay any longer,
We will surely never get away.
Never.
Never.
We can't go on.
Never.
We can't go on.
Never.
Never.
(Never, never) never.
We can't go on
(we can't go, we can't go on)
Never.
We can't go on
(we can't go, we can't go on, baby).
Never.
Never.
Never (never, never, never).
I also looked at the songs in my iTunes queue before and after “Never”, and saw that there was even more messaging. Here is a sample of the song list:
Never Be The Same - Bloodgood
Never Again - Daniel Band
Never Say Goodbye - Guardian
Never Been Any Reason - Head East
Never - Heart
Your Love Never Fails - Chris Quilala & Jesus Culture
What Is What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin
(That’s seven “nevers”).
(Plus one more, The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power - Maranatha! Praise Band)
After seeing these words and listening to the songs, I can say they mean a great deal to me. Maybe I will explain why in a future Letter.
P. S. “Shiver-me-timbers”, but what that Jesus done sent me a Can of Spinach with this one.
P. P. S. I woke up at about 3:30 this morning to the power being out. (M) was in the family room and said that it had gone out shortly after she went to bed at about 10PM last night. So she got back up and waited in the TV room for me to get up. This was due to our first wind storm of the season. Some of “Mother Nature’s” resources were rampaging through the valley, seeking whatever they could destroy, and “whomever they might devour.” And as usual, their activities made my shoulders sore. But the power was restored sometime between 7 and 8AM. Thank You Jesus.

Letter 925
End of Year Letter
—A. D. 2023—
2023-12-31
Dear Yeshua,
Tuesday, 26 December 2023, 6:55AM
For the last three years, ever since the Democratic Party came into power through the Biden Administration, I have not had the same energy to write my Testimonial Letters (Letters To Daniel) as I have had in previous years.
This has nothing to do with lack of content or writer’s block. It is simply that in addition to my already existing disabilities from chronic pain issues, I wake up very sore and tired.
About all I can do for the first 4 or 5 hours of the morning is to sit at my computer and listen to Talk Radio and/or watch YouTube videos, while medicating my pain with hydrocodone.
This strange fatigue really started with the dream I had in Letter 705, in which I began to oppose Witchcraft in more vigorous ways than I had previously. But as soon as President Biden took office, my waking up sore and tired became a daily occurrence. This increased pain level also effected my ability to walk on any regular basis, which, combined with my using food as a pain distraction, is why have I gained weight.
This interesting phenomena was prophesied earlier in a dream I had and wrote down, and which was subsequently illustrated in a drawing. The dream can be read at this link at Letter 40a, and the illustration can been seen at this link.
But here’s a funny yet singular thing. In a unique way, I am actually grateful to some degree for the soreness, because it testifies to the verity of the intercessory opposition in which the Lord Holy Spirit places me as the instrument of Jesus in stopping and destroying the works of the devil.
The difficult part is that for the first part of every day, I am pretty much incapacitated either from soreness, fatigue, or both.
And some days the soreness and fatigue can last far into the late afternoon.
The reason why this got worse with the Biden administration is due to the Democratic Party’s embrace of at least two of the three houses of maximum evil (see Exodus 22:18-20), including idolatry of money by child sacrifice (abortion), the idolatry of worshipping the climate, sexual depravity (LGBTQ+), and corrupting children through bearing false witness regarding boys and girls gender at conception (gender-changing).
These sins are overseen and enforced by the four echelons of evil spirits listed in Ephesians 6:12.
The degree of the collateral effect that I experience is determined by how many of the echelons I engage with at any given time.
And yet, even though I have written very little compared to previous years, (only about 21 Letters), I have not been negligent in documenting the dreams, visions, and experiences which the Lord brings my way. As of this Letter, I have more than 90 audio recordings waiting to be transcribed into Letters. If they had all been written, I would have over 100 Letters for 2023. This same applies to the three most recent years since I retired, A.D. 2020, 2021, and 2022.
It is my hope that by the end of 2024, I will have completed the Letters To Daniel. I have only 75 more Letters to go to 999, which, according to the Lord, will be the final Letter to Daniel.
But here is something interesting. About two months ago, the Lord gave me a new writing project. It is a weekly newsletter, where He gives me a Word. I then do some research on that word to see what His message is. It is kind of fun, since I never know in advance what the Word is going to be. The newsletter can be accessed at this URL: http://www.theschoolofjesus.com/WFTW
