Bible Matters 546: Rick’s Bio

Do you have the power to believe in God to lead you to the promised land?  The devil just wants you to believe that you’ll be in the promise land without relying on the power of God.   How will you respond to a message from God?

On 9/6/21 after texting the time, 8:28, on my phone, minutes later I pulled my phone from my pocket and my phone had pocket texted the phrase “Romans”.  

Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

At that time, I was struggling with my church sending people to the jail ministry promising salvation to inmates without repentance of sin required by God’s gospel of Love.  They would then tell the inmates that they were saved and have everlasting life by believing in a couple of verses and they can never lose that gift.  That belief is the opposite of the preponderance of evidence from the eight New Testament witnesses that have told you to repent of your sins and turn to God, live a life unto righteousness, loving God, loving your neighbor and endure to the end for the gift of everlasting life. 

With this Romans 8:28 text, I knew exactly what God wanted.  I communicated with my pastors and jail ministry team not to come to the jail and make promises of everlasting life.   The outcome is that I kept the jail ministry, teaching the truth in God’s word, without interference:)

My first text from God, was “Ecclesiastes” 3 months after I started studying the bible, 8 years earlier in 2013.  I had been seriously studying the bible up to this point and God’s instructions are clear.

So why this text on 9/6/21?

In bible numbers:  

Number 9: Nine (teth) – Visitation

Teth is a snake in Hebrew. It can also signify being surrounded, for the snake was often pictured in a circle swallowing its tail.

The number nine speaks God’s “visitation.” This is a Hebraism that pictures God as an Investigator “visiting” a person, city, or nation to expose the hearts, gather evidence, and “see” firsthand, as it were, the truth of a matter. It is much like a divine court case where the evidence is uncovered and presented to the judge for judgment. In Luke 19:43 and 44, Jesus says to the temple in Jerusalem,

Number 6: Six (vav) – Man

Vav is a nail or peg in Hebrew. It is also a conjunction (“and”), for it takes a nail to connect two things.

Six is the number of man, for man was created on the sixth day (Gen. 1:24-31). Man was also to labor for six days before entering into the Sabbath rest (Ex. 20:8-11), and the Hebrew slave was to serve for six years (Ex. 21:2).

Moses had to wait for six days before he was allowed to go up the mount to meet the Lord (Ex. 24:16-18).

Israel compassed the walls of Jericho for six days before the city fell on the seventh (Joshua 6:14, 15).

During his ministry, there were men that no longer walked with Jesus, as they preferred the walk in the flesh and darkness.

John 6:66 – From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Number 21: Twenty-One (kaph-aleph) – Distress

To write twenty-one in Hebrew, they wrote two Hebrew letters: kaph-aleph. These signify giving strength as well as the strength of God’s grace to cover sin during our time of spiritual growth.

When twenty-one is used in terms of time (as in a 21-year period) it is the number of trouble or distress (tsarah), during which time we are in need of God’s strength, offered by an open hand. When it is used as a number in itself, it speaks of the end of the distress. Thus, it speaks of the blessing at the end.

Likewise, the 21st time Abram is mentioned is in Gen. 13:3, where he returned to Bethel after being in distress in Egypt. Verse 4 says that there he “called on the name of the Lord.”

In conclusion:  On that Labor Day morning, 9/6/21, I needed the power of God to overcome the wickedness in man by misleading people not in accordance to God’s word.  In bible numbers, 9/6/21, reflects on, “a message from God to a man in distress.”   I was under great distress!  God visited me and gave me his word in Romans 8:28 and told me to have faith and he will take care of me!   That verse gave me strength to stand up against the evils of man religion.  Three days later the jail ministry was mine and no longer were heretics coming to the jail abusing God’s word. There is no confusion when you abide in God’s word.  The message is clear. 

Psalm 118:5 – I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

Since that day, God has sent witnesses and messages to direct his ministry in God’s church.  His books, written for the jail ministry, provide doctrine to live by and understand the truth in God’s word.  The books are listed below in the order of development for his church, including:  “Jesus Is Coming”, “Glory Bound”, “Put God First”, “Power of God”, “Out of Darkness”, “New Beginning ¹⁾ ”, “A Bride of Christ”, “The Ark and the Blood”, “The Church of Nineveh”, “Team ABBA”, “One World Church”, “God is King” , “Gospel of Love” and “God’s GOLD.” 

1)      Lessons started to include the preponderance of evidence from the mouth of two or three witnesses, as commanded by God, twelve times in the Old and New Testament and from the mouth of five witnesses.  This is the New Beginning for man and God’s church on this earth.

I witnessed using 350 Redemption and Best You Now messages for the 4/08/24 eclipse in the USA.  God told me this was his Nineveh eclipse.  America is warned.  God has now planted his church.  2024 is the year of redemption through his ministry of priesthood offer to you.  All are invited into God’s church.  The only message is for you to be messengers and servants to God almighty.  No Tithing.  No titles.  No pay.  God launched his church with a dream on Ecclesiastes 4:12-15.  God told me that my witness to the fifty plus man-made churches was finished.

Ecclesiastes 4:12-15 – And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.  Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.  For out of prison, he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.  I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

His next dream sealed the deal for me with a recurring dream of death and destruction and his message of “Nothing Is as It First Appears.”  God use of “saved” in the Old Testament was about saving his people from destruction.  Man has turned God’s salvation message in the New Testament from saving his people to all about saving self. 

Man preaches on this verse.  Man’s salvation message is all about you! 

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

God’s salvation message starts with you living your life for man and loving the things of God.  In the end, the world wins.  God put man on the world last.  The world can thrive without man.   It is up to us to live here without destroying this planet. 

John 3:17 – For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

God’s gospel of Love is presented in the testimony of all eight New Testament witnesses, the “Quran” and the Hindu scripture, “Bhagavad Gita”.  These gospels are presented in the book, “Gospel of Love.”   There is no other book, published today that contains the testimony of the prophets, all sent by God, that included the single message of God’s gospel of Love.  The power and will of God expressed in the six-point salvation message, sent by God:

1)      Believe in the One True God

2)      Repent and turn from your sin.

3)      Judge no one.

4)      Love God.

5)      Love your neighbor.

6)      Live a life unto righteousness, enduring to the end for the gift of everlasting life with God in heaven. 

God’s is looking for your good works!  When you believe in God, you look for ways to serve him.

Ephesians 2:10 – For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God’s next book is the fifteenth of the series and will be titled, “New Direction.”  Bible number for 15 is New Direction.  God is sending his church into a New Direction.  A church that will no longer be serving the desires of man, but serving the truth in God’s word.   

Decide today, that God is real and you will believe like Joshua believed in the power of God.  You will turn from sin and follow God’s gospel of Love.  As the world religions fight to kill each other, it is up to us, as believers, to become a servant to God and spread his gospel throughout the world.  God will be waiting for you to come into the promised land. 

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
