About a week ago while worshipping Father gave me the title for this article "Pastors – the Prison Warders of Yah's people".
You might be shocked at this, after all, we have been trained to treat our Pastor with great respect, to submit to him or her, etc.
We know of people who have been kicked out of church for disagreeing with the Pastor, you might even have gone down that road yourself, you might even have been publicly condemned from the pulpit?
Not?
I have, more than once, because I dared to give unpopular messages from Daddy Yah to someone in an assembly who took exception to it.
As an example, many years ago Father told me to give a message to a church council which had suspended the Pastor because he had had an affair with a young lady in the church and told him to cut off all ties with the young woman who had been his mistress for four years. Yah told me to tell them that this woman was the second wife of the Pastor and that they were sinning grievously by telling him to put away his second wife for no reason and he should take her back publicly and deal with the consequences. I sent them a detailed message from Yah by fax.
That Sunday, I was still going to church on Sunday's then, there was a visiting preacher, I expected problems so we snuck in late and sat at the back of the church. Suddenly the visiting preacher stopped, looked straight at us and called us to the front. The main video camera was right next to us and zoomed in on us while the visiting preacher declared in front of the entire congregation that Yah was well pleased with us for being obedient to His will. As this message was being given the cameraman collapsed under the power of the Spirit of Yah so the camera remained focussed on us for the entire prophecy. At the end the visiting preacher anointed us.
Despite this powerful confirmation that the message I had given was from Yah I received a phone call telling me we were no longer welcome in the church and the video mysteriously disappeared and never made it into the bookshop.
Such episodes are quite common in the lives of those who really seek to do Yah's will in the prophetic ministry.
In fact, if you hold yourself to be a spokesman of Yah {prophet} and you have not been kicked out of a few churches you need to check out what is going wrong in your life!
Something that the church does very well is to "protect the sheep" – the sheep are the human beings who have not been to bible school and not been ordained by a recognized ministry – problem is that if you have been a sheep for more than a few months today Yah wants to use you and send you out into your own ministry in some shape or form.
Furthermore, NOWHERE does it say "submit to your Pastor" – reality is that the shepherd or teacher {pastor} is lesser in rank than the emissary {apostle} and the inspired spokesman {prophet} -- 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And Yah {God} hath set some in the church, first emissaries {apostles}, secondarily inspired spokesmen {prophets}, thirdly teachers {pastors}, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues" KJV
It is NOT the responsibility of the pastor to intellectually determine if someone has come from Yah, it is their responsibility to ask Yah if that person is from Him and give them the platform that Yah ordains, even if they find the message hard and unpalatable.
One of the greatest sins of Pastors today is that they get between Yah and the people and act as censors and demand that people remain under their covering but they accept no responsibility for their error and do not receive correction except on the most trivial issues.
Many Pastors today are regrettably an illustration of the reality that many nice Christians will end up burning in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for part or all of eternity, they exhibit all the faults that Yahooshua castigated the Scribes and Pharisees for in his time.
They subscribe to the lies they are taught in bible school, the pagan traditions with regard to the Names of the Almighty, the Sunday Sabbath, the Cross, the Bible, Christmas and Easter, monogamy, the disregard for virginity, etc and so, those who follow them for the most part are ALSO condemned to the Lake of Fire for part or all of eternity at the risk of being kicked out of the church if they do not submit.
If any teacher or other person, is preaching any message other than draw close to Yah, set yourself apart, rigorously clean up your life and learn to hear His voice clearly and be instantly obedient to it then you need to ask where that message is coming from.
If their message is in any shape or form – "I have been to bible school, listen to what I say and do not question me" they are to be avoided.
Today there is only one answer, each of us must draw as close to Yah as they can, by all means use the teachings of those who have gone before you on the road to help guide you but at the end of the day YOU MUST DISCERN the correct road for yourself.
This is one reason why all my past writings, over 700 articles are posted on the old www.ETIMin.org website without any editing or censoring by me – I am not sure what is accurate and what is inaccurate amongst those articles – there are items I consider that I know to be inaccurate today but, at the end of the day, it is up to those who visit that site to get close to Yah and find out what they should take on and what they should ignore.
The same goes for what I am publishing currently, it is up to YOU to get close to Yah and sift out the chaff and the dross in my writings – after all, I am not perfect and if I knew it was dross it would not be there, would it? – only Yah and Yahooshua are perfect, TURN TO YAH FOR TRUTH!
Conclusion
I urge you to cease looking to men for your salvation, Yah is salvation (Yahooshua means Yah is salvation).
May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
