25 Kislev-2 Tevet 5782 / 28 November-6 December 2021
John 1:6-13 “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the True Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Today, the first day of the Festival of Lights, a.k.a. The Feast of Dedication/Hanukkah is commemorated by the Jewish people, including Jesus and His disciples, as noted in John.
John 10:22-23 “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.”
You can click on the link above to read the story about this Feast of Dedication, but it essentially involved some courageous and valiant men who were abhorred that the enemy was desecrating their Holy Temple, destroying their people, and defaming the laws of God.
As I look at the landscape of the present day church, the ministers of Satan have absolutely corrupted the Word of God in word and in deed, they have defiled the churches by their blasphemous acts and teachings, and they are leading many to destruction!
Satan has been gaining a lot of ground these day, and only the LORD Jesus Christ can open the eyes of those who are blinded by the Devil. And it is my earnest prayer that God will raise up some brave souls to stand against the onslaught of lies by the Enemy in our day.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
I know there are preachers who teach that God cannot speak to His people today, and that God cannot inspire men (or women) to write things down, or prophesy, but they are wrong. Yes, there are many who claim to speak for God, but they are of the Devil! And God’s Judgment and wrath will be upon them one Great and Dreadful Day!
I am no prophet, but I am reminded of what the LORD said, by His Spirit, on the evening of 28 February 1993, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on me. But first I would like to preface my Testimony with this wonderful passage from the Acts of the Apostles.
Acts 10:34-45 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.
And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed Him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead.
And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Excerpt from “Walking With the Enemy: A Testimony,” by C. Read
Prophecy of 28 February 1993
“…Everything you have learned here has been tainted with evil, and you can’t hold on to any of it. The only thing that you can hold on to is the fact that Jesus Christ died for you, and by His mighty power, God raised Him from the dead.
And if you believe that in your heart, and claim Him as Lord, He will put the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, inside of you, to lead you and guide you into the truth! Light will overshadow darkness, and darkness will not be able to stand in the presence of God!”
And without controversy, this IS the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
1 John 2:8b “…I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the True Light now shineth.” Amen!
Amen! My Dear Friend Cathy!
The world is becoming darker as the days continue. But the TRUE LIGHT shines brighter in the darkest night, and as we continue to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, others will come to the Father by HIM!
Again, and again, Thank you for faithfully sharing these significant Dates for us who desire to follow the Scriptures and glorify God Who is Faithful and True to His people the Jews, and to us Gentile Believers of the Lord Jesus Christ Who is Lord and Savior of both Jew and Gentiles.
May the Lord strengthen us in our ministry of sharing the TRUE LIGHT to those who might have ears and eyes to hear us and see the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Take care my Dearest Friend and always know that we keep you in our hearts and PRAYERS! God bless you and all yours as always.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!
A grateful fellow servant of the Most High God;
