In Exodus 15:26 we read where God promised His chosen people (the 12 tribes of Israel) that He would not place diseases on them, and that if they did become sick, they could look to Him for help because: “I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU. These people were the biological and spiritual ancestors of those in God’s true church (the Church of God) today, also known as “the Israel of God” (Acts 220:28/ 1 Cor. 1:2). The Biblical history of the nation of Israel reveals that they repeatedly rebelled against the God Whose Ten Commandment Law they promised to obey. As a result they repeatedly suffered at the hands of that God Who, upon their repentance, would then help them, often freeing them from slavery or protecting them from immanent defeat.

Finally, after many generations and many rebellious acts against His Law, He sent the Assyrians to defeat and enslave them. He later scattered them throughout the world where their descendants lost all knowledge of their Israelite heritage, including their religion, and became like those among whom they lived–Gentiles. Today numbering in the hundreds of millions, they are known to the rest of the world, and to themselves, as GENTILES. Because of their “vanishing act” they are referred to as “the lost ten tribes of Israel.” Neither their Gentile neighbors, nor the Israelites themselves, are aware of their Biblical lineage. Today, many who believe themselves to be Gentiles are in fact Israelites. Read Who and Where is Israel Today? Key word–Where.

Approximately 150 years after the nation of Israel ceased to exist, those known as “Jews” (Judahites–members of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) were, like the other ten tribes, defeated, enslaved and scattered globally, and for the same reason: SIN–THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD’S LAW (1Jn. 3:4). As prophesied would happen, some 7,000,000 Jews have returned to a tiny PART of the area God promised to the descendants of Abraham and call it “Israel.” The total Promised Land reaches from the Euphrates River to the Nile River which, when Christ “restores the kingdom to Israel” (Acts 1:6) will cover a much greater land mass than tiny Israel occupies today. Read The Kingdom of God. Key word–Kingdom.

Approximately 15,000,000 members of those called “Jews” remain scattered throughout the world. The largest concentration of Jews outside of Israel reside in America. Why did God allow some Jews to return from Babylonian captivity to their homeland, rebuild Jerusalem and His Temple and establish what is today called the nation of Israel? BECAUSE THEY RETAINED THE KNOWLEDGE OF, AND A MODICUM OF OBEDIENCE TO HIS TEN COMMANDMENT LAW. Read Why Does the World Hate the Jews? Key word–Jews. Pardon me for getting off the subject–again. Now we will return to it.

When the God of the Old Testament came to earth as Jesus of Nazareth, He placed Himself and 12 men directly into the Gospel-preaching, miracle-performing work that would, from that day onward, be a vital part of God’s ministry to the world. When Jesus sent the 12 out to conduct His ministry they became apostles, meaning “sent ones.” We see the beginning of the preaching and miracle-working aspect of their ministries in their first apostolic mission as recorded in Matthew 10:5-8. Here Christ makes His expectations for the spreading of God’s Word perfectly clear. He tells them to go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. “And as you go (among them) tell them that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (the Gospel message). HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST OUT DEVILS. FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED (MIRACLE-WORKING POWER), FREELY GIVE (USE IT TO PERFORM MIRACLES). Nowhere did He indicate that His ministry command would change. Through the power of the abiding power of the Holy Spirit I have done all of those things, and more, with the exception of cleansing a leper. I have never met a leper. Why does God use me in miraculous ways? Not because I am special. But because I believe God’s Word and obey it. All credit and glory goes to Him. Like Jesus, I can do nothing of my own power (Jn. 7:28; 8:28).

Following His death and resurrection, Jesus appeared to the eleven as they were eating. There He scolded those who had not believed the woman who had seen Him following His death and had reported the sighting to them. Then He said to the eleven: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to EVERYONE (including Gentiles). He who believes and is baptized shall be saved. He who does not believe will be damned. AND THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE: IN MY NAME THEY WILL CAST OUT DEVILS; THEY WILL SPEAK IN NEW (UNKNOWN) TONGUES; THEY WILL TAKE UP SERPENTS, AND IF THEY DRINK ANY DEADLY THING, IT WILL NOT HURT THEM; THEY WILL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY WILL BE HEALED” (Mk. 16:15-18). NOTHING HAS CHANGED. HE GIVES THAT SAME COMMISSION TO EVERY APOSTLE HE SENDS INTO THE WORLD. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. IF HE HAS SENT SOMEONE, THAT SOMEONE IS COMMANDED TO OBEY THE COMMISSION RECORDED IN MARK 16:15-18 AND MATTHEW 10:5-8. Do you see such signs, wonders and miracles taking place in your church, or on television, or in the park, or on the street, etc? No you do not. Why? BECAUSE GOD HAS NOT SENT THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE HIS MESSENGERS. Therefore they lack the Holy Spirit power needed to do what the Lord commands to be done.

However, there are times when God uses the ungodly to do His godly work. Read Jeremiah 13:1-4. Notice that it is THE LORD Who sends the false prophet and it is Him Who makes the miracle take place. Why? God is testing those who see or hear about it to see they will follow the miracle worker to worship other gods, or if they will go deeper into His Word in order to learn more about Him (God), His Word, His Will, His commands. Invariably, the false prophet will point his audience to the churches in the Catholic/Protestant Religious System as the place where God can be found. Which is a Satanic lie. We are commanded in Second Corinthians 6:14-7:1 to come out of those Satan-controlled churches.

Why does God’s Biblically-commanded miracle-working ministry no longer exist except in the shadows of the so-called church world today. BECAUSE THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FALSE PROPHETS OCCUPYING TODAY’S PULPITS AND PUBLIC FORUMS DO NOT BELIEVE GOD’S WORD. They proclaim a steady stream of “Headlines” (promises), but are totally lacking in knowledge of the “Headlines” (conditions) that cause the promises to come to fruition. The Word IF is found more than 500 times in the Holy Scriptures. In the vast majority of cases, IF involves a condition that must be performed by the believer in order for a promise to be produced by the Lord. As I have prophesied on several occasions, this situation will change, and soon.

This generation will witness a return to the days of publicly-performed miracles, signs and wonders which the entire world will witness via television and the internet. God will use men living today to bring to the world miraculous signs, wonders and miracles that will make the Book of Acts pale by comparison. This generation will witness the fulfillment of Christ’s prophesy recorded in John 14:12: “HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS I DO HE WILL DO ALSO, AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE WILL HE DO, BECAUSE I GO TO THE FATHER.”

I have proclaimed and will proclaim again now that within four to eight years you will see everything I have prophesied on this website come to pass. Many things that I have predicted have taken place. God has assured me that there is much, much more to come. Read about God’s Words to me for the future using the key word–Gun. The most important and most spectacular works of God appear on the world scene soon. They will cause a spiritual war that will involve everyone on earth either directly or indirectly.

The Satan-empowered acts of Pope Francis are laying the groundwork for the spiritual warfare that will break out between God’s true church and Satan’s one-world church which is rapidly forming now. This church will consist of all of the world’s religions which will be ruled by what in Revelation is called the “false prophet” and the “second beast.” This religious monster, with governmental backing, will declare war on God’s tiny church. It will be during that war that God’s majesty will be displayed as never before. When that war ends He will take His “little flock” to a place of safety. Then the Great Tribulation will begin. What we are seeing today is merely “the beginning of sorrows” (Mat. 24:1-8).

It is important that we understand what Jesus said in Mark 15:17,18 concerning taking up serpents and drinking deadly fluid. The expression “take up” in the New Testament language (Greek) is “airo.” This expression is used 102 times in the New Testament and means to remove, to take away, to kill or to do away with. Recall in Acts 28:1-5 where a deadly snake has bitten the Apostle Paul on the hand. He simply shook the reptile off into the fire and went about his business. Paul knew what Jesus meant by the Words He had spoken about such things. If Paul had deliberately picked up the snake the episode would not have transpired the way it did. Paul would never tempt God. Recall that Jesus told Satan that He (Jesus) must not tempt God. Nowhere are we told to deliberately pick up (“handle”) snakes or to drink poison as a show of faith. Doing anything of that nature to impress people reveals deadly ignorance of God’s Word, specifically His “Fine Print.” L..J.
