The Final Game
February 5, 2006
For the First Time in a very long time I found my place once again in that Great Place where our terms Time and Place are meaningless. What first caught my attention was the THRONE and HE who sat UPON IT. Once again I gazed upon THE ANCIENT OF DAYS. This time I noticed that there was a quiet throughout HEAVEN. Not a silence, but a QUIET. All around me HEAVEN was still alive and active, but something held the ATTENTION of all. So as I walked towards THE THRONE I began to notice....
Now I had seen THE SEA of GLASS before. I have heard the SONG OF MOSES and was a tiny part of the SING OF THE LAMB. So what I saw before me was beyond anything I had of yet seen or heard. A great section of THE SEA OF GLASS was awhirl of IMAGES, COLORS, TEXTURES, and SOUNDS. Interesting maybe, but I sense a strange familiarity.
“LOOK WHO THE SHEPHERD DRUG IN...”, I heard very clearly and I felt a RED FLAG go up. That was a “familiar” voice I never heard, or expected to hear in HEAVEN. At first I thought “the voice was wrong”....but nothing else seemed to be. I looked up to HE WHO SITS UPON THE THRONE. And HE TURNED HIS HEAD slowly from side to side. A “negative” response to the question I had in mind. So I turned away and walked towards what was taking place in/on THE SEA OF GLASS.
As I got close movement and sound began to slow and suddenly I saw the GREAT CHESS BOARD. To one side stood massive PIECES in IRIDESCENCE, and to the other the “pieces” were BLACK... a BLACK that absorbed everything.....
For some reason I knew “they” were waiting for me. So I stepped onto the BOARD and walked to the LIGHT. First was a file of 8 “pawns”. Angelic WARRIORS with FLAMING SWORDS.
HUGE, MASSIVE, and I could see them all “turn” and look at me. And I felt ashamed. I could sense that these MIGHTY ONES had been waiting..... for me to show up. As I slowly walked through the fist file I came to an empty square. Along side me, sitting in a chair I remember from a “day” we once shared at a beach was THE KING OF KINGS.
“WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”, HE spoke quietly.
And I got a real cold chill from way deep inside. I looked and counted the spaces. I was not standing on the KING'S BISHOP square.
“WHENEVER YOU ARE READY, OLD DOG”, HE SPOKE with that TOUCH of HUMOR in HIS VOICE.
And suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks. Everything had been put on hold till I “showed up”.... “to play”.
“NOT REALLY”, I heard from above and behind me. And BEHIND me was THE SHEKINAH..
That great PILLAR OF CLOUD, FIRE, THUNDER, and TRUMPETS that came down to MOUNT SINAI, THE TABERNACLE, and THE TEMPLE SOLOMON BUILT. I watched as it shrunk into itself. At first it shaped into this huge form with many whirling wings. And then it shrunk into the small figure I saw weeping in the THIRD THUNDER. IT WAS A PERSONIFICATION of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT... at least one I could comprehend.
“THE GAME” AS YOU PERCEIVE IT”, explained THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, “BEGAN LONG AGO. YOU PRESENTLY SEE A FIELD OF 64 SQUARES. NOW YOU SEE WITHIN THE DIMENSIONS OF LENGTH AND DEPTH.” And suddenly things “shifted” and above me was several more “boards”.
“LOOK DOWN, DOG”, came the voice of MY CAPTAIN. And I looked there were more.
“NOW YOU SEE THE THIRD DIMENSION,” began THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. “NOW ADD TO IT THE FOURTH”. Suddenly I could see movement of pieces. The first thing I noticed that there were a lot more than 8 pieces moving for either side. And then the levels began to move. Or should I say “flow”. Or should I say I really could not figure it out. And then I felt a soft tug on my arm. THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT slowly walked me to THE KING.
“I AM”, Came the clear VOICE deep inside me. “DIMENSIONS WITHOUT NUMBER. TIME AND SPACE ARE NOT LIMITS FOR THAT WHICH IS BOTH ETERNAL AND OMNIPRESENT, OMNISCIENT AND OMNIPOTENT.”
At that point I saw THE KING OF KINGS astride a GREAT WHITE HORSE. Once again I heard HIS LAUGH and I felt good for the first time in a long time. HE LOOKED DOWN AT ME AND ASKED, “IT IS OUR TIME OLD DOG, ARE YOU READY TO DANCE?”.
For the first time I began to think, what does HE MEAN when HE ASKS me to GO DANCING?
Before me was THE KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS. So many of my dear sisters see HIM romantically, can not blame them. All the great stories end with two lovers swaying in the moonlight. Waltzing to Straus.... And I think of going WALTZING MATILDA....
I had to laugh. I looked up into my MASTER'S EYES and HIS LAUGH joined mine.
“Do you think I am dressed for the BALL, BOSS?”
AND the first thing that came to mind was “BIPPIDY, BOPPITY, BOO...”
Again we both laughed. And all around me I could hear laughter. And I head a QUIET VOICE
come down and I looked up into the EYES of THE ANCIENT OF DAYS. ABBA LOOKED DOWN and smiled.... “BUT I SET THE RULES SHEMUEL......”
And once again all of heaven LAUGHED. If I hadn't been laughing so hard I might have figured out where it was all going, probably not.
ABBA slowly sat BACK ON THE THRONE OF HEAVEN. And HE SPOKE.
“IT IS TIME TO END THIS....”
And the LAUGHTER stopped. I looked to MY KING who was quiet and looking down at me.
All around me the BOARD began to move. Time and space had once again were in motion. It was a kaleidoscope of colors and images and sounds. I looked up and HE WAS STILL LOOKING DOWN AT ME. I wondered, what do I do now.
“YOU GO WHERE I SEND YOU AND DO AS I TELL YOU, DOG”, MY KING STATED. “IT HAS NOT CHANGED, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE”.
“But, LORD,”, I mumbled, “I am in the QUEEN'S POSITION” ...........
“SO” .....HE LAUGHED, “YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NOT LOOKING BEHIND YOU”.
And I turned, and there stood THE LILY. THE DAUGHTER OF ZION. We were on the same square. Now I was puzzled. Then once again I heard that small, still, voice say “I SET THE RULES, MY CHILD. JUST GO WITH IT...”
So I looked upon THE KING and said..... “UHHHRAHHHH”.
And I woke up.
It has been along time since I have walked the SECOND AND THIRD HEAVEN.
A year ago I sent out “a VISION and a DREAM”. In it THE MOST HIGH said that 2005 would be a year of “SHUCK AND JIVE” among the “professional prophets and clergy”. And too many “Saints” have left THE LORD to be distracted by the SHUCK AND JIVE and have bought into their LIES.
I have kept silent when told to BE STILL.
When THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT led me into THE WILDERNESS, I went and stayed. It is
time to join the battle..... for me at least.

Muzzle The Ox?
February 10, 2006
For years I have listened to men and women speaking to the assembly/congregation give explanations why giving to them in the “love offering” is a rightious act. Many will allude to “blessings” that would come to those who give “joyously”. Some will refer to the PARABLE of THE SOWER, and allude to returns of 30, 60, 100 “fold” for those who “gave”. Now I always wondered if I was going to be a 30, 60, 100% return. Did it work on the AMOUNT, or the ATTITUDE? Seeing that THE LORD never volunteered an answer I let it go.
Years ago I “found” the Dr Gene Scott that Stephen has spoken of. Now one time I heard Dr Scott say, if you went to a restaurant and ordered a 5 star meal you would expect to see a “BILL” that mirrored the quality of the food you got. And you would pay the “CHECK”. And probably leave a big tip. Then he looked at the camera and said.... now if you got any spiritual food out of what he was teaching.... didn't he at least deserve a tip? Think about it... Zola Levitt for years has mentioned paying wherever you find yourself being fed. But he never asked for a tithe, just “help” with his ministry.
And I respect the requests. Sometimes Dr Scott made it a challenge. He would ask if you could find better teaching... go there. Your choice... which burger place you like better... Wendy's or Hardie's.... GO THERE... But Gene and Zola never “DEMANDED” payment. And that is how many “pastors” come across when teaching on THE TITHE.
Now I attended a AOG church that had an annual meeting that discussed the running of the church and how the “money” had been spent. What bothered me was the reluctance to tell the congregation how much was actually paid to the “PASTORAL STAFF”. Once I was crazy enough to question what exactly was “paid”. Then I asked about benefits.... perks...
All of you can imagine what happened... right... THE PASTOR got up, straightened his suit and quoted 1 Tim 5:14...For the scripture saith,
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
I agreed, in Deut 25:4 in mentions the OX and the corn. But I did not remember anything about a labourer's reward. Now Deut 25:5 mentions if your brother dies and his widow is childless you are required to father her child. I did not ask whether he anticipated that.... I did ask what he thought his “labor” was actually worth.
My final comment was that maybe “our” OX was living too HIGH OFF THE HOG. You all can imagine how well “appreciated” my thoughts, questions, and comments were.
Now in scripture the “TITHE” of the OT had numerous purposes. At least that was the intent. Take care of the TABERNACLE/TEMPLE. Feed and cloth widows and orphans. Which was okay when the TITHE was paid in grain and livestock..... everybody got taken care off.
Over time most people did not send wagons of grain and flocks of sheep and cattle to Jerusalem... they sent coins... CASH.... many poor people still sent small amounts of grain and livestock...and it fed people. BUT SOMEONE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF CASH...SO,
into the NEED stepped the PRIESTS AND LEVITES.
Do you really know why JESUS went postal in the TEMPLE? Why, the PASTORS will tell you of the WICKED MONEYCHANGERS... THOSE WHO SOLD...
NOT REALLY....
People came to THE TEMPLE all the TIME... and made SACRIFICES. In the Book of Acts on Pentecost JEWS from all over THE ROMAN EMPIRE were there. Scripture warns about what GOD THOUGHT about sacrificing diseased or lame animals... and all JEWS knew that.
But if you just got off the boat from Tarshish... would you have a lamb or goat or ox for the sacrifice? OF COURSE NOT...
And to assist there brethern the PRIESTS and LEVITES set up the system where you could buy right at the TEMPLE. You came with local currency from home, no problem their either. In THEORY it is GOOD.
IN PRACTICE... it was MAFIA....
THE PRIESTS controlled who got a booth.... for a price. THE PRIESTS took a cut from everyone. And they also set the price for everything, assuring their “PIECE OF THE ACTION”. POLITICAL and CORPORATE CORRUPTION.
THE FATHER'S HOUSE OF PRAYER was A DEN OF THIEVES.
So I ask... is THE CHURCH taking care of THE WIDOWS and ORPHANS... sending out MISSIONARIES... MINISTERING in HOSPITALS and PRISONS... guarding THE LAMBS and SHEEP? Or is it a scam for a few to live well without actually having to work for a living.
Paul made tents.
Stephen Bening is an ACCOUNTANT.
Joe Cook is a PIPE FITTER.
Bob Neumann is a REGISTERED NURSE.
And I can go on...
Think about it...

Bring The Whole Tithe Into The Storehouse
February 16 2006
Dear WPA,
I am responding to a paragraph. At first reading I said “okay” and just let it go. But since then numerous things have happened. As some may notice I have “returned” to the WPA in a flurry, or so it would seem. Now everything I have sent to Stephen Bening and he forwarded to you was for the benefit of the SHEEP. I certainly expected nothing from it, except for an escalation in attacks against me and my household.
So I want to respond to Stephen's paragraph....
<<<SNIP>>>
I wonder... how many of you who have read 50 prophetic words from Bob Neumann have ever sent him anything? He never asked, and you never gave, I know. He is probably upset with me for even mentioning it, but does a senior prophet like Bob have a right to share in anything with us? Bob has read the Didache, and he knows what it says about giving to prophets, yet he has never mentioned it. Well, I am mentioning it. Deal with it! I know.. what is the Didache, you are saying? Search for it!
<<<SNIP>>>
Now if you ask me how many “prophetic words” I have sent out through the internet, I could not even guess. Certainly I have a whole lot in the public forum. But I probably have more in personal correspondence than the public. Sort of scary, ain't it. Nor does it include face to face with individuals, telephone calls, conferances, and the few actual congregations I have been invited to “speak to”... and ABBA said to “GO DO IT”. I have never “accepted” an “invitation” THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT did not initiate and control. Outside of my dear brother Trey back in South Florida, no one knows that. Nor have I ever “asked” for a “love offering”. And each of the three times I was “blessed” it met the immediate need.
Imagine a man who has been employed in the same place 19 years. His annual income was now well over $60,000.00/year with full benefits. And he junks it all because THE KING said HE WAS SENDING ME... and HE made it very clear I had to be able to “drop everything” and GO without notice.
So I did. Shocked my wife and kids. Shocked my employer. Shocked my coworkers. The only people it did not shock were the “little old ladies” that THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT “sicced on me” years earlier. A few of them have gone home to be with ABBA and I miss them. But HE KEEPS adding a few on every year. Those “PRAYER WARRIORS” were waiting for me to be “SENT OUT”. So when I answered the Call they “cheered”. THE MOST HIGH.
Now I attended an Assembly of God church. Trey is still there, in the trenches each and every day. For years I “paid” my tithe, and then some. But I started to wonder how the money was spent because I wanted to be a “GOOD STEWARD”. So I asked questions and when I got “brush
offs” instead of answers... I went “hunting”. And what I found bothered me. So I got “nasty”. Instead of “putting” my “envelope” in the “collection”.... I got sneaky. When we resumed the “MEN'S MINISTRY” after Hurricane Andrew, I increased my involvement. Supposedly the “church” could not afford to help things like “MEN'S MINISTRY”, “SUNDAY SCHOOL”... all ages, “Children's Ministry”, etc.
So I did crazy things. Paid for “refreshments” for the once a month MEN'S MEETING. Bagels, juice, coffee for 20-30 guys was not too big a deal. I could handle it. Then when we got up to a 100+ guys we held full breakfasts. Then guys invited coworkers. Churches with major damage from ANDREW joined us. Brothers who worked at TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT started a weekly BIBLE STUDY, and guys from 12 other churches showed up. Eventually we were running 500+ and larger churches asked to “host” breakfasts. By that time we had 40+ congregation going hard and heavy and THE SOUTH FLORIDA TASK FORCE BEGAN. 2 years PRE-PROMISE KEEPERS....
And THE LORD said leave it and GO... and all I wanted to do was do as I was TOLD.
Now I had played by all the rules. I worked overtime as often as possible. Was a GIVER. Had a 5 year roll over with the IRS for “contributions”, and forgot about it. Paid into an IRA. Put money in SAVINGS. Paid the Florida PREPAID COLLEGE FUND for both my children. And I walked away and down the road.
Ever tell your wife you had to go.... and 10 minutes later be out the door? One time I left with a carry on bag with 3 pair of jeans, 4 T- shirts 6 pairs of socks and briefs and $36.42 in pocket. Why I remember the amount should bother me.... but it does not. Not quite 3 weeks later, after 2700 miles I came home, and several wild divine appointments I got home. Bill Burns called from Kremmling, Colorado. Introduced himself. And told me THE LORD wanted him to send me a specific amount. It paid for a months mortgage, utilities, and groceries.
My wife was flabbergasted.
So was I.
And in explanation I shared with her something I read from Corre Ten Boom. She said she never worried about finances. She said “HER FATHER owned all the cattle on a 1000 hills, and if she needed “help” HE could sell one little cow”. Now that is the ABBA I learned about over the next five years. Lots of lessons available. Like my ABBA had placed three SHUNAMITE women out there in three different towns for the day I needed a place to stay. Like my ABBA could wake up a man in Tennessee at about 3 am and have him go to a “gas” station. I was down to my last $12 and was praying hard.
He said he had been told to look for the man who CARRIED THE SWORD. When I pulled in with my Rodeo he saw the bumper sticker I still have. As I went to fill up he said “I got it”.... and I just ran to the rest room. I got out and he was waiting against the back of the Rodeo.
Pointed to the bumper sticker and said he had only been waiting about 15 minutes before I drove up. Told me that he had wondered how GOD would show him who WAS CARRYING THE SWORD OF THE LORD. Then he handed me a bottle of Dr Pepper. We hugged and we cried. I know we spoke a few words. He never asked my name, nor I his, but we both have the same FATHER. And the bumper sticker quoted Hebrews 4:12....
“For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword”, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Now walking in faith can be a hoot. And it is amazing how far and fast THE FLOW can take you. It is also humbling to be changed from one eager to give, to one who will receive. To have one of my praying grannies I have not seen in weeks run over and give me a hug and try to slip a 20 into my pocket. And when I tried to get it out of my pocket because I did not want to take from a “widow” to HEAR THE ANCIENT OF DAYS THUNDER “DON'T YOU DARE ROB HER OF HER BLESSING!”.
Stephen in his post calls me a “senior prophet”. That is his right to call me as he sees me. He can judge the fruit I produce. All I want is to be able to stand before my KING and here HIM SAY... OKAY...
In this world there is nothing I want. All that I need MY FATHER has provided. And the greatest gift he gave me was a VIRTUOUS WOMAN. She has stood by me and supported me, in spite of me and all my weirdness. At times she has more discernment than I. And those few times GOD
WANTED something done, and done NOW... she confirmed it and we got it done together.
Tuesday I was presented a new and greater test of my faith and trust.
May I prove worthy.

The Harlot Church and THE SECOND THUNDER
February 20, 2006
(this was sent to members of the WPA...bob)
It has been over seven years since the Second Thunder. When it was first published on the Internet there were a few questions about “the four dogs”. It seems that the most asked was about THE TRADITION OF TITHING. No one seemed to want to talk about the GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY. Back then it was gaining acceptance and popularity in the “spirit filled church”. Anyone remember a little book called THE PRAYER OF JABEZ. Follow the “instructions” and you too could become wealthy as Jabez. The only ones who got wealthy where the ones who sold it to a gullible church.
But let's go back to the SECOND THUNDER and what occurred at the end.
“With this I was instructed to look again at the “dogs” and as one would pass THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT named them for me. Some where “doctrines”, and some had the label of “gospel”. Others HE called “dogmas” and “traditions”. It was as if every lie taught to a child of GOD in 4000 years had been chronicled and categorized. It took little time for my spirit to be burdened and grieved by the very length and depth of this list. Somewhere the long parade of dogs slowed and the last four stood alone.”
Few people noticed that there were a whole lot of “Demonic images” that was focused in the form of “dogs”. I was directed to discuss only four.
THESE, SON, ARE THE DOCTRINES OF THE END DAYS.
THE FIRST IS A GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY....
THE SECOND IS THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE.....
THE THIRD IS THE TRADITION OF TITHING......
THE FOURTH IS THE THEORY OF DOMINION THEOLOGY.....
The reason for why I was shown these four and told to address them? THE LORD'S answer was “These are the doctrines man uses to control and harvest the flock.” First is CONTROL... then comes HARVEST.... think about the idea of HARVEST. How do you HARVEST a flock of sheep. Think about it.
But now look at what THE LORD says next: “Each started in the WORD and has been perverted and manipulated to serve the enemy.”
In other words, All Four started right and got TWISTED... PERVERTED.... and this is important because all four obscure THE TRUTH and gives to THE APOSTATE... THE HARLOT CHURCH an alternative to THE WORD OF GOD.
Now what is important, is the last thing I was told. “These and all the others will be exposed and destroyed in the days ahead.”
Ponder that....
Now what do you wish to do first?

THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE
February 21, 2006
When I was first shown THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE I was given a fairly clear explanation. Since then I have been shown that this DOCTRINE is more insidious and has two aspects, edges.
The first aspect is that for anyone to be in covenant with me they must support everything I believe and preach. You can not argue with me or question me for I have the ONLY “true” revelation. Everyone else is in error and will be cast into hell forever. I am the final word and the only word on any and all subjects because I am GOD'S CHOSEN. GOD can only talk through me, so listen to every word I say.
At first glance you would say that's crazy! And one could wonder how anyone could fall into such an obvious trap. Well it was not so obvious in the beginning. Maybe in the very, very beginning GOD could have been there. THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT might have been LIVING AND ACTIVE....
But something went wrong somewhere. Over time the servant decided to be master. Started to listen to “other voices” and began to believe what “they” were telling him. Or her. The enemy is equal opportunity.
In the last few years I began to see the other ASPECT to this ABOMINATION. In the Book of JOB ha' Satan answers THE MOST HIGH that he has been walking to and fro across the planet earth. Look at something Peter said...
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Last week THE LORD reminded me that the enemy is always in the hunt for the lost and the hurting.
Those who are caught up in the controlling and manipulation that THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE creates openly search for those who are battered and bruised, lost and alone. They say, WE WILL LOVE YOU and CARE FOR YOU. We will “accept” you among us and treat you with the acceptance you have never had. Only later on does the manipulation and control come into play, and by then those who were lost and alone, bruised and hurting are eager to support this doctrine because it “worked” for them.
Some may say, GEE BOB, you are talking about some crazy cult. And you are right. All “crazy cults” started here and eventually ended up on CNN NEWS. But most who have built on THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE are cunning and know when to slow it down and stay hidden.
So briefly, that is it. Each group that builds on THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE tailors it to fit themselves perfectly. They answer to no body but themselves. So no two will ever look exactly alike.
Something to ponder.

THE GOSPEL OF AMERICAN PROSPERITY
February 25, 2006
For years we have heard through radio and TV the main speakers for what is called “THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL”. On the surface you can find hundreds of people who oppose it and written their positions easily found on the internet. The problem is that it is but an extensive study of what created and pushed this deception that is needed.
In America 100 years ago the prevelant “gospel” was based on everyone reading their bible and following the classic teachings of Calvin and Knox. A man worked and established his farm, his trade, and his business. Honesty and integrity were major virtues that they taught their children. People prayed for their daily bread and “enough”. 100 years ago AMERICA was not perfect. It's government and it's leaders were as corrupt then as they are now.
But pre-WW1 America the institution of THE CHURCH was what built hospitals and orphanages. They took care of the elderly and feeble. Communities would come together to build. Hospitals and orphanages carried names like MOUNT SINAI were built by Jewish Communities. Many hospitals were simply “Baptist”, “Methodist”, and “Presbyterian”.
Roman Catholics built thousands and staffed them. Some hospitals like “CEDARS OF LEBANON” were built by Lebanese christians who had emigrated to the LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
So the question is WHAT HAPPENED? The only answer I have found is POWER AND PROSPERITY. At the end of WWII most americans had survived 2 world wars and THE GREAT DEPRESSION. The UNITED STATES was the world power of FREEDOM. At that point of time the US was an industrial and agricultural juggernaut. Research and Development was strong points in corporations and universities. But we were the VICTORS and the only place on the planet not devastated by war. No need to rebuild. So instead of rebuilding we became the AMERICA of THE “50's”.... IKE, TV, and THE GOOD LIFE.
In the 1950's America saw a change in “CHRISTIAN THINKING”. In 1952 Norman Vincent Peale wrote the book “The Power of Positive Thinking” based on his work in freudian psychology in the late '30's. He “created” the deceptions of positive thinking and positive confession philosophy. And out of nowhere a “new false gospel” was created, the “SELF-ESTEEM” gospel and the CHURCH became a source of “SELF-HELP” books, seminars and programs.
Dr Peale coined for us the CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY still popular today. He openly taught spiritual visualization and positive imaging. Dr Peale was a Mason and a mainstay in what we now call THE NEW AGE. He saw the effectiveness of NAZI PROPOGANDA and developed strong RADIO and TELEVISION adjuncts to his newsletter.
Those who openly followed him like Robert Schuller continued to use TV, RADIO, and publications to continue to spread their visibility in the market place. Today those who follow and preach the doctrines of positive confession, spiritual visualization are taking forth the GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY to the world.
Only the PROSPERITY GOSPEL can only appear to work in AMERICA. Please look at the term “appear”. The AMERICA of today is so different from 100 years ago one would struggle to see how much change can come in as few as 3 generations. No longer is AMERICA the industrial and agricultural giant we were only 60 years ago. And the gulf between those who have and those who have not increases yearly. This gulf is seen in our communities, our churches and our politics.
For the last 20 years the political parties have ridden “the church” to victory and the WHITE HOUSE. The political LEFT consolidated the LIBERAL AMERICAN CHURCH composed of churches who preach a Liberal, Humanistic Gospel. Few of these churches teach a “properity gospel” because of their desire to allow government to “bless them”.
On the other hand RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVES went out to look for FUDAMENTALISTIC OLD-FASHIONED RELIGION. What they got was a lot of old-mainliners and a bunch of new PROSPERITY PREACHERS.
While each of these people have their own twist and turn to the PROPERITY MESSAGE, they all come down to 3 cardinal points. No two people exactly the same.
1) GOD wants us “all” to prosper. Being poor is a SIN. Our lives should be of ABUNDANCE which shows that we are blessed.
2) We reap as we sow. Put you money into the “fallow ground” and GOD MUST open “THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN”.
3) If you fail to be blessed, to prosper, to live in abundance it is your own fault. You have “hidden sin” or, even worse, a “LACK OF FAITH”.
Now this “LACK OF FAITH” situation is what “HEALING MINISTRIES” use when people fail to be healed who attend their “meetings”.
Now the PROSPERITY PEOPLE have an answer to anyone who “LACKS FAITH”....give more...give till it hurts... GIVE SACRAFICIALLY. So the only one who is sure of getting ahead is the ministry.
Now anyone could preach a GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY. But if you try to preach it from your “prison ministry”, it will fail. Likewise in the soup kitchen and the shelters. You will not hear it from most inner cities or rural congregations. PROSPERITY, it seems, has it's strength in the urban areas near large metropolitan areas. People who have enough and want more.
Outside the church, the AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS is in severe debt. Mortgages, Education and Car loans, and CREDIT CARDS allow people to live above their means. These same people want to hear a message that supports lifestyle and habits. That tells them it is okay to ask for MORE and MORE and ignore those with less around them.
PROSPERITY is an AMERICAN GOSPEL because in other parts of the world too many people live day by day, farming, hearding, or working in factories owned by global corporations. I wonder how our persecuted brothers and sisters think about AMERICKANS who can “NAME IT AND CLAIM IT”, who read “the prayer of JABEZ” expecting windfalls to occur.
I have always wondered where they think this “MONEY” will come from. I have listened to so called “prophets” tell people that GOD would make them millionaires. That GOD would give them skill in business and inventiveness. I once heard a “prophet” tell a woman that she would “win the lottery”. Of course that woman walked away with assurance and happy that GOD WOULD DO WHAT she heard. Of course the same prophet in his message spoke of “lack of FAITH” stealing your blessing. I wonder if the woman had listened or cared about the prophet's “fine print”.
There is a great difference between GOD being our SOURCE AND SUPPLY who blesses our hands as we work, and GOD just DUMPING WEALTH UPON YOU to prove HIS LOVE. My father and my grandfathers taught me that what I earn for myself I will appreciate far more than I would being given something. THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL often never speaks of working, budgeting, and saving. If GOD IS BLESSING YOU... why WORK? Why get an education? Why learn skills and advance yourself?
There are over 6 billion people in this world. Probably 5 billion live in poverty, without technology, or under totalitarian government. How can they accept the GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY? This point alone places it as the greatest DECEPTION we have today.
But there are others....

The Siege Will Not Be Lifted
March 27, 2006
Bob Neumann
I was letting my mind wander through Psalm 32. HE surrounds me with songs of deliverance. HE IS MY HIDING PLACE and MY STRONGHOLD in times of trouble...... and I saw myself alone on the mountain top beside THE STANDARD. I was looking down at the hordes of hell marching in ranks. They were moving around THE MOUNTAIN and avoiding it. And I heard that SWEET GENTLE VOICE ask a question..... “ARE YOU AFRAID?”.
I felt no fear of what I saw. I knew where I was and I had peace. Somewhere along the line I had made the right choice in whom I would serve. Then THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT ASKED, “WHY ARE YOU CONCERNED?''.
I had no quick answer. I looked at the sheer numbers of the enemy on the march knowing they had an evil purpose. I also realized it was not my call when and where I would stand in the battles ahead. It had been a long time since I “saw” my CAPTAIN. It had been a long time since I heard HIS VOICE. I suddenly realized I had not gone “looking for HIM” as the BELOVED of THE SONG OF SOLOMON. I had not worried at HIS absence. Complained yes.... worried no. So I asked THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT what was wrong. I have felt tired, depressed, listless.... off and on for the last month or so.
And suddenly I was on a different mountain top where there was grass and trees and the light of day was bright and warm. But the BANNER was not there. It seemed pleasant and peaceful. I thought that I should look for the rocks that dripped “living water”, “new wine”, “honey” and all the things that will someday be according to THE WORD. But I did not see ABBA.... or THE KING..... so it was less than it would seem. And I heard the term “MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCE” whispered gently on the breeze.
“How can there be an experience without you LORD?” I asked without expecting an answer. So much of what is sought after is the “experience of the event” and it falls so short of what is real. Even sitting at the beach was more real than this. And even then THE JUNGLE WAS REAL!!!
“I'VE WONDERED THAT MYSELF, DOG. WHICH IS WHY THINGS ARE SO TRAGIC FOR THOSE WHO USE MY NAME BUT HAVE NO COVENANT WITH ME.”
As I looked there stood THE LAMB in full GLORY. And we stood outside of time and space as HE began to walk. In a few steps I saw THE MOUNTAIN and THE BANNER and below it the armies of hell still on the march. As I looked down I had a sudden flashback to the cavalry charge not so long ago. And all the images that came and went.
I must have had the shakes because I suddenly felt HIS HAND holding me up. In my ear came that wondrous voice, HE said “IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT”.
“GO AHEAD AND ASK” HE STATED. and I felt ashamed of my doubt and lack of faith.
“YOU GOT TO ASK ME DOG”, HE BEGAN, “IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD TO HIDE ANYMORE. DID I NOT SAY TO DUMP IT ON ME AND I WOULD SHOW YOU MY WAYS?”.
I don't know what was more ridiculous..... HIS reminding me of HIS OMNISCIENCE or HIS continued preference for colloquial americanese.
For some reason I suddenly felt cold.... stone cold sober.... and remembered that I was speaking to THE ONE who told JOB to “stand up like a man”. Realizing that this was at least a 3-way conversation and THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT was still “speaking” if I was “hearing”. It suddenly felt real serious.
“LORD”, I asked, “how much of all this is real?”.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK IS REAL?”, HE WHISPERED with a calm tone in HIS VOICE.
It was strange. I must have half asked that question thousands of times and always ran away from what the answer might be. Other people's opinions and the crude and rude comments by the darker images I have encountered over this walk with HIM not withstanding..... I was back at square one. What is TRUTH and what is LIE. It always has been the battle.
As I looked out at the armies of hell I noticed they had stopped moving. They were looking towards me. I looked at HIS FACE with that “ALL-KNOWING GRIN” HE has so often. I looked back down into the Valley and I saw so many familiar faces from past nightmares and visions. And I looked back at HIS GRINNING FACE and LAUGHING EYES. HE FOLDED HIS ARMS ACROSS HIS CHEST AND LEANED AGAINST THE POLE THAT HELD HIS BANNER. For some reason I came to an awareness that this was more real than all the religious hype and spiritual energy I had ever experienced.... ever.
So, I asked myself, what is real to me. Right now any different than anytime before?
Now was not the time to worry about incidentals.... it was time for THE TRUTH as I am living and, in all probability, going to die for. So what is real? Or better yet, what is reality.
I looked out at the demons, devils, and assorted “bubbas” glaring up at me. Now they are real. No doubt about that. Nor is their a doubt about what they have done for so long to so many...........
like I said.... back to square one and the only reality I know.....
So I stood still and shouted at all those unfriendly faces......... “Behold THE LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the WORLD!!!!”. Response was immediate and unfriendly. Then the last point came to mind and I let loose with that too......... “SHMA Y'SRAEL ADONAI ELOHENU ADONAI ECHAD!!!!”
With that I turned to HIM and said.... “that is the only TRUTH their is. So YOU ARE the only thing real in all this.”
“WHAT ABOUT THEM?”, HE ASKED pointing down into the VALLEY. He had me there. Real yes, but not REAL. And suddenly the hordes of hell were gone and we stood ‘alone’.
Now it felt a little weird and I looked out into nothingness. And I heard HIS VOICE, “IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS NOTHING OUTSIDE OF ME. ALL THAT THERE IS, IS BECAUSE I SPOKE AND IT BECAME.”
All around me was emptiness. Calling it the “void in the night” like some have called it in writings and songs is an understatement. There is no sensation.... no emotion.... nothing. Just “cold” “emptiness” and both terms fail to describe it. I had to ask “is this the “outer darkness”, LORD?”.
“NO”, HE REPLIED, “BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A LOOK AT IT”.
And suddenly THE PRESENCE was gone and I was in that place spoken of in many places. But just as suddenly HE was back and the lesson was driven home. As bad as the last weeks had been from my prospective in the proverbial “midnight of the soul” that Christian mystics have kicked around for centuries..... it was nothing like being a “moment” in “outer darkness”. Not a place I would want to be cast into beaten, bound, or whatever. Forever.....
Immediately in HIS PRESENCE again the emptiness suddenly filled with “LIGHT” and as my senses re-acclimated I was standing by THE RIVER under a TREE OF LIFE. Somehow we were in the NEW JERUSALEM and I just stood there watching THE LIVING WATERS flow. As before it was beautiful and almost too much to bear. I looked over to a TREE and THE LAMB simply sat smiling and watching me. It did not take long to realize this was a setup of some sort. So I sat down and put my feet in the WATER and wondered what all this was getting to. There is always a point or a lesson somewhere. HE has yet to not pull something out of nowhere beyond my reasoning, so it was all a matter of waiting.
It all started from an unexpected corner.....
“TELL ME DOG,” HE BEGAN, “IS THIS REAL?”.
I looked over and I knew HE would be grinning. So I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and smelled everything about me. The THIRD HEAVEN has always seemed more real than anything I have ever known. A whole lot better than anything else I had encountered. So I wondered how to answer. ‘Yes’ and ‘no’ was not the choices I needed.
“Well, if I was a Buddhist I could say that this was all in my mind and reality was all in my mind anyway”........
“SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU NOW?'', HE ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE. “THE ZEN MASTERS ALL CAME UP WITH REALITY SIMPLY NOT BEING ONCE YOU ROSE TO THE ULTIMATE LEVEL. SO YOU NEVER EXISTED TO BEGIN WITH.”
“So that makes my being a Buddhist a complete wash out. Not a whole heck of a lot better than my grasp on “Christianity”. I'm still having a lot of trouble with why YOU haven't done something about the mess there is.”
“WHAT MESS?”, HE SMILED AND SAT LEANING TOWARDS ME. “TELL ME WHAT MESS I MADE THAT YOU EXPECT SOME REMEDIATION CONCERNING?”
Well I put my foot in deep there and it is so impossible to argue with HIM. Never seems to get where I want it to go.
“I know you did not screw anything up, BOSS, but it is a mess everywhere.”
“OH, DOG. HOW DID YOU GET SO CYNICAL?”, HE CHIDED. “ACTUALLY THINGS ARE IN VERY GOOD ORDER THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE EARTH. TAKE CHINA FOR INSTANCE.”
(Somehow I knew this was where HE had been leading...... HE gets that RABBI tone in HIS VOICE)
“THE GOSPEL GOES OUT TO THE FARTHEST REACHES OF CHINA UNDER THE HARDEST OF CONDITIONS. FEW OF MY SHEEP THERE ARE CONTENT AT BEING SHEEP. THEY ARE SO EAGER TO HEAR MY VOICE. SO EAGER TO EAT MY BREAD AND DRINK THE LIVING WATER. THEY KNOW THEIR NEEDS AND LOOK TO ME FOR EVERYTHING. FEW IN SMYRNA YEARN TO BE ENTERTAINED.”
“So what is wrong BOSS in my pastures?”.
“WHOSE PASTURES?”.
“Allow me to rephrase that LORD.”
“PLEASE DO”..........
“LORD, in the land where I dwell things are not too good, in my opinion. Could you please explain to me what is wrong and what is to be done?”
“THAT WAS ALMOST DIPLOMATICALLY PHRASED, DOG. SEEMS YOU ARE LEARNING SOME CIVILITY EVEN IN YOUR OLD AGE. IN TIME YOU MIGHT LEARN TO IMPRESS MANY OF THE RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE LAND, AS YOU STATED, THAT YOU DWELL. BUT IMPRESSING THEM WILL NEVER CHANGE THEIR HEARTS MY FRIEND. TODAY THE RELIGIOUSLY BOUND ARE FEELING MUCH THE SAME SPIRITUAL PRESSURES THAT YOU AND THE REMNANT ARE. THAT IS ONE REASON I WILL NOT LET YOU OR ANYONE ELSE LOOSE TO MAUL THEM.”
“YOUR LAND AND YOUR LEADERS ARE REPROBATE. THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO SERVE THE BEAST. THE ABOMINATIONS OF EGYPT, BABYLON, PERSIA, GREECE AND ROME ARE RUNNING RAMPANT IN YOUR CITIES. MAMMON STILL RULES YOUR GOVERNMENT. IN FACT WE ARE LOOKING AT THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS PRESENTLY CONTROLLING YOUR POLITICAL PROCESS. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW POLITICS AND RELIGION ARE ONE IN THE SAME. SOON THAT WILL BE OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE, BUT THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.”
“THE ENEMY HAS A DIVIDED HOUSE AND CARES LITTLE IF IN THE END ALL ARE DEVOURED IN HIS BID FOR ABBA'S THRONE. THE BEAST HAS NO USE FOR THE FALSE CHURCH AND THE NICOLAITANS THAT FILL IT. THE SAME DARKNESS THAT ASSAILS YOU COVERS THEM TOO. THEIR SHEEP ARE TOSSED AND TORN BY THE SAME CRUEL WINDS OF HATRED, BIGOTRY, INJUSTICE, POVERTY, AND PERSECUTION THE REMNANT FACES. AT LEAST YOU CAN TURN TO ME. ALL THEY HAVE IS MAN AND MAN'S RELIGION TO GET THEM THROUGH THEIR “STORMS”. LIES AND DECEPTIONS ARE A VERY POOR REPLACEMENT FOR ME.”
“OLD DOG, IT GOES BACK TO THE ISSUE OF WHICH ARMY YOU SEE IN JOEL. THE CITY SEES ITSELF AS GUARDING ITSELF FROM EXTERNAL ATTACK. THE CHURCH SEES ITSELF UNDER SIEGE FROM THE DARKNESS NOT KNOWING I WANT TO SEE THEIR WALLS TORN DOWN AND THEIR “FLESH” TO DIE. I SEND “BABYLON” TO DESTROY THEIR WORKS AND THEIR RELIGION. NOW THERE ARE MANY WHO SAY THEY SERVE ME AND ARE TRYING TO PULL DOWN OTHER PEOPLE’S WALLS. THEY ARE OUT TO BUILD THEIR OWN WALLS ON THE RUINS OF OTHERS. WHICH SIMPLY MEANS THEY ARE BABYLON. CONFUSION AT BEST, DOUBLE MINDED AT WORST. SO BOTH SIDES IN THAT CONFRONTATION ARE NOT OF ME. THEY ARE HEARING THEIR OWN DEMONS AND CLAIMING MY NAME. SO THEY ARE BEING LAID SIEGE TO IN THE SPIRIT, BOTH ATTACKER AND DEFENDER.”
HE stopped there and let me absorb this. None of this was new. All that was missing was where the “real” army of GOD.... the REMNANT BRIDE fitted in......
“WATCH DOG FOR MANY TO TALK ABOUT MOUNTAINS AND HIGH PLACES. THAT TALK ABOUT COMING BATTLES AND THE LIKE. FOR A LONG TIME YOUR PEOPLE DISTINGUISHED BETWEEN TWO ASPECTS OF THE TRUMPET. AS A CALL TO BATTLE AND A CALL TO PRAISE. SO IS IT WITH MOUNTAINS AND “HIGH PLACES”. ONLY TOO OFTEN THEY DID NOT WORSHIP YHVH. THE ISSUE OF THE GROVES AND THE HIGH PLACES IS STILL IN NEED OF BEING ADDRESSED BY THOSE WITH IDOLS IN THEIR HEARTS. IT IS THOSE STRONGHOLDS AND HIGH PLACES WHICH THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT IS LAYING SIEGE TO. THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER AMERICAN POLITICS OR THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. IT IS TO DESTROY THE WALLS THAT PROTECT THE IDOLS IN THE HEARTS OF YOUR PEOPLE. NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER, WEEPING, FASTING, WILL LIFT MY ASSAULT IN THESE “CITIES” AND “MOUNTAINS”.
“THE SIEGE WILL NOT BE LIFTED TILL THE IDOLS ARE DESTROYED”.
In my spirit I heard the “word” ........ MASSADA....... and I felt cold....
“THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL NOT REPENT. THERE WILL BE MANY WHO WILL DEFEND THEIR IDOLS AND THEIR INIQUITY TO THEIR LAST BREATH. SOME WOULD RATHER FACE THE SECOND DEATH THAN TO HEAR MY VOICE AND OBEY”.
I looked at HIM and wondered how anyone would prefer religion and deception RATHER than HIM. And HE answered my thoughts.......
“THEY NEVER LEARNED WHAT WAS REAL, DOG. THEY NEVER FELT A NEED TO PUSH THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND THEIR IMAGE OF REALITY TO THE EXTREME. NOTHING PREVENTED THEM EXCEPT THEMSELVES.”
We talked some more and it dealt with me and my “idols”. Also talked about THE ROCK.... THE MOUNTAIN..... and other points.
So I am sharing this as directed. In case you were feeling “pressed in”...........

To WHOEVER has ears to hear....
April 5, 2006
A new SEASON has started. Few have noticed. Few could notice. PRESENT REALITY is based on THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE and so few are SAINTS, but think they are.
PRESENT REALITY is a sad thing when you STAND on HIS HIGH GROUND and watch as THE FALSE LEADERS of THE REPROBATE ECLESIA keeps spreading their lies and people prefer to have their ears tickled.
THE LAMB warned us that just BEFORE HE RETURNED that DECEPTION was the GREATEST DANGER HIS LITTLE ONES would face. SELF-DECEPTION is the most subtle and dangerous of all DECEPTIONS.
Over 15 months ago THE LORD OF HOSTS basically said it straight out. THE WORLD’S YEAR of 2005 would be a YEAR OF “SHUCK AND JIVE”. A year of THE FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE DOCTRINES. As 2005 came to a close we began to see MORE FALSE SIGNS AND WONDERS.
People who were HIS SERVANTS went QUIET... stopped SPEAKING... THOMAS GIBSON and HARLEY HICKLING to name TWO. And for the most part I was told to be silent... to WATCH AND WAIT. As I waited I WATCHED and STUFF JUST KEPT COMING.... and COMING.... and COMING....
NOW the mighty bands and schools of the so called “prophets” are out there still doing their things. Now it will be easy to distinguish “We who have waited and watched” from those doing their own thinges... BECAUSE WE NOW DO HIS THING!
This morning on YAHOO NEWS the ASSOCIATED PRESS sent out this “PROPHETIC” IMAGE.... Homeland Deputy Arrested in Seduction Case By MICHELLE SPITZER, Associated Press Writer ........... 34 minutes ago ...........
MIAMI - The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was charged with using a computer to seduce a child after authorities said he struck up sexual conversations with an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl.
TO THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR and EYES TO SEE... one who was deputized to “control” THE PRESS... THE MEDIA... for THOSE who claim to be WATCHMEN over “this land” has been CAUGHT attempt to SEDUCE what he thought was a child using his computer.
Paul wrote of a time to come where these things would occur....
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
For those who have EARS AND EYES ANOINTED BE HE WHO IS THE TRUTH... I give you two more witnesses... so that this may be CONFIRMED and VALIDATED....
2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
Tts 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Tts 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Tts 1:12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Tts 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Tts 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Tts 1:15 Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Tts 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
THE THREE WITNESSES are THE TERM ““REPROBATE”” Paul uses. First to THE SAINTS in ROME... then to Timothy and Last... to TITUS.
THE ROMANS were warned. TIMOTHY and TITUS were told to CONFRONT and EXPOSE the REPROBATE LEADERS of a HARLET CHURCH.
So to HIS SHEEP out there scattered and seemingly alone in a cold and cruel world... BE STILL AND KNOW. THE SHEPHERD KNOWS YOU... WHEN HE CALLS, BE ASSUDER, YOU WILL FOLLOW HIM.
And now to all you HIRELINGS and WOLVES in “sheeps clothing”. YOUR TIME HAS RUN OUT...
BETTER GET USED TO LOUD AND ANNOYING BARKING.... for ZION'S SAKE I was placed on THE WALL...
And watch your backs.... THE MUZZLES are off and the LEASHES loosed... and HIS WAR DOGS ADONAI ELOHIM TZ'BAOTH has PERSONALLY TRAINED AND PREPARED FOR THIS LAST BATTLE.
WE KILL WOLVES....

OLD DOG
It has been a long time since THE LORD OF HOSTS has taken me from THE FIRST HEAVEN to the SECOND and last to THE THIRD TO LISTEN TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS. So if any who wish to read this, know that it is a long ride.
ON THE HIGH GROUND
April 9, 2006
In the hour just before dawn on Sunday April 9, 2006 I found myself over a city, looking down upon the lights and buildings. As I watched it “seemed” as if the city was slowly rotated so I could get a good look from all cardinal points.
First it was a fairly good sized city with a density of lights and fairly tall buildings in and around it's center. Outside of the center I saw grids of neighborhoods with streets and highways. I looked hard for some reference point, either manmade or natural focal point that could help me to discern what city it was.
Second it was a city not on a large body of water or harbor. Maybe a river ran through or around it, but it sure was not big enough to ring any bells in my memory.
As I looked down and watched I pondered and waited for that VOICE. After a time I heard the first question.
“IS IT AN EVIL CITY?”.
As I looked up and outward I saw before me once again THE LAMB OF GOD, MY LORD and MY CAPTAIN. Over time I have learned to consider HIS QUESTIONS and answer as best as I can.
“I do not know, LORD.”
“IF A DREADFUL EVENT WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THIS CITY, WOULD I BE BLAMED?”.
In my spirit I got a sudden check. There was ONE QUESTION that gave me some information I did not know what to do with.
“Yes, LORD, it seems there are always those who blame YOU when “bad things” happen.”
As HE STOOD watching me, I knew that my answer was incomplete. Again I looked down and I could feel my thoughts grinding. And I asked myself, “Why do people blame GOD for everything that happens that brings trials and griefs.” From personal experience I know some of my worst grief came when I did something stupid, and trials come with just being “alive”.
And it hit me. GOD is blamed for SENDING CALAMITY, or by not PROTECTING those who expect to ride through “troubles”. Both points of view were there last year when hurricanes came and went. And as I was putting an answer together HE SPOKE.
“Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?”
Now that I did not expect. And I saw HIM SMILE and just shake HIS HEAD as HE “walked towards me”. Now we were still some 50,000 feet above this city. A place on a planet sitting in space completely unaware of our discussion. A city headed for a SEIZMOS EVENT.
“CONCIDER MY SERVANT”, HE BEGAN, “WHO IS PERFECT AND UPRIGHT WHO FEARS GOD. WHO THE ENEMY COULD NOT TOUCH BECAUSE I AM HIS GOD”.
“Yet to defeat ha’ satan you removed the HEDGE you had built around him”.
“NOR DID I ASK JOB WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEFORE HAND.”
“Which was what the next 42 chapters is all about.” Out of no where it came to me. JOB had no clue what the next 40+ chapters had for him, yet he stayed true and would not “curse” his GOD. Once again I looked down and I felt a shudder go through me.
“DO YOU THINK THAT IF I SENT TO THAT CITY A PROPHET TO CALL THEM TO REPENT, WOULD THEY REPENT LIKE NINEVEH DID?”
Suddenly I got a “sinking” feeling and looked up at HIS SMILE. I “knew” I was about to receive... and I must have flinched because HE LAUGHED and touched my shoulder.
“NOW IF I SENT YOU TO THIS UNWALLED CITY TO CALL FOR REPENTANCE TO WHOM WOULD YOU GO TO FIRST?”
I could not help myself because I found myself looking down and wondering where would I go first. Again HE LAUGHED and I looked into HIS EYES...
“I ASKED YOU “WHO” OLD DOG, AND YOU IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT “WHERE”, AS IN WHERE WOULD YOU FIND THE AUTHORITY WITHIN THIS CITY TO GO TO FIRST... I DID NOT SAY I WAS SENDING YOU, DOG....”
Now in my mind I wondered how much time I had... Jonah had 40 DAYS...
And suddenly we were elsewhere.... and I must have had a real stupid look on my face because HIS VOICE HUSHED.. “WHAT CAN I DO WITH YOU OLD DOG. EVEN IF I SENT YOU AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, WOULD “THEY” LISTEN?”
Now I had been once again in FULL ARMOR which meant other changes were in effect. And I pondered HIS QUESTION as we sat near the RIVER WHERE ABBA HAD SAT with me before. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly and looked to HIM.
“DON'T BE HARD ON YOURSELF DOG, IS IT NOT WRITTEN..
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”
“IF SUCH WOULD NOT REPENT AFTER ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD IS SLAIN, WHAT RESPONSE WOULD YOU GET FROM A MODERN WORLD THAT DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH”.
“NOW WOULD THEY EXPECT SIGNS AND WONDERS OR REALLY COSMIC “SPECIAL EFFECTS”. JUST SAYING TO THEM “IT WILL NOT RAIN” WILL GET NO ONE'S ATTENTION TILL FAMINE OCCURS. AND THEN THEY WILL TRY TO REMEDIE THE SITUATION IN THIER OWN STRENGTH. IT IS ALSO WRITTEN...
“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
“And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
“For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
With those words we were once again elsewhere and like Isaiah had seen, heard, and smelled... ABBA, THE ANCIENT OF DAYS SAT... the ECHOES of WORSHIP CRIED HOLY, HOLY, HOLY... KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH.... SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS... all the LANGUAGES of THE UNIVERSE were joined together in ADORATION.
AND THE FRAGRANCE OF HIS INCENSE filled my nose and my spirit and suddenly a sweet and savory FLAVOR filled my mouth as all me senses bore witness as I fell to my face at HIS FEET.
In ETERNITY time really does not pass and I just lay there filled with AWE and WONDER and thinking that poor Isaiah must have gotten slammed, too when he said “oh woe is me...” “BEING UNDONE” is being utterly shreaded in the INTENSITY of HIS PRESENCE.
And I felt HIS HAND gently rub my head and I looked up again into MY ABBA'S eyes. For a moment we were alone and once again I felt like a child in HIS ARMS. When that moment was done I was STANDING BEFORE THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, AND AT HIS RIGHT HAND STOOD THE LAMB.
“ONCE WHEN I CALLED YOUR NAME YOU ANSWERED AND DECLAIRED “HININE”. I CHOSE YOU ROBERT, SON OF ROBERT, SON OF JOSEPH, SON OF LEO TO BE MY SERVANT. YOU ASK YOURSELF OFTEN WHAT YOU ARE TO DO FOR MY KINGDOM. IT PLEASES ME TO SEND YOU NOW. THOSE WHOM I PLACED YOU WITH HAVE A FIRE AND A PASSION THAT NOW COMES FORTH. YET IN YOU I HAVE PLACED A SIMULAR PASSION, BUT WITH ICE AND NOT FIRE. BOTH CONSUME AND DESTROY AS I WILL IT. SO NOW I COUNTER THE COLD AND METHODICAL CALCULATIONS OF THE DESTROYER WITH MY OWN TOOL.”
And with that I was once again looking down at “the city”. And I felt a hand on either shoulder and a VOICE in my ear. “DID YOU NOTICE THE CHANGES IN THE LAST WEEK?”
Inside I could feel my spirit go “DUHHHH”. And HE LAUGHED.
“NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR PASSION ABOUT THE NICOLAOTINS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME AS MINE. BUT YOU WONDER WHY YOU KEEP SEEING RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE SECULAR GOVERNMENT SHOWS ITSELF?”
And I had a “SUDDENLY” hit me right between the eyes as I turned to see....
THE BRIDEGROOM....!
And I stared at HIM wondering.... I had expected to SEE THE LAMB... only...
THE BRIDEGROOM comes FIRST.
AS HE HUGGED ME AND KISSED MY CHEEK, HE WHISPERED.. “YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH “FALSE AUTHORITY”. AND THOSE WHO ABUSE IT. SINCE YOU SEE THAT I AM DRESSED FOR THE BANQUET, I'LL LET YOU DEAL WITH IT “UNDER MY AUTHORITY”.
With that HE REACHED UP AND WHEN HIS HAND CAME DOWN HE HELD THE ROD OF IRON. “USE IT WELL OLD DOG”. HE SAID AS HE PUT IT INTO MY HAND. “IT DOES NOT DO WELL AS AN ACCESSORY FOR WEDDING APPAREL.”
And I was in my bedroom awake and alert.
So I share with those who have EYES to see and EARS to hear.
