We live in an age when people claim to live by spirits, and

indeed do. The question is which spirit?

As somebody pointed out to me some 60 years ago “ If you

don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything”.

The spirit I aim to follow to the best of my ability is the

Spirit of the ONE Eternal God, who I believe created the
universe and all that is in it.

It is fashionable today to believe we come from monkeys, but

that’s not for me!

What is presented in this Journal are the ideas put into my

mind, I believe, by the Spirit of the Eternal. This not only
guides me through the day, but also through the maize of
information and events that now are facing the entire world,
and shows what I should do about them on a day-to-day
basis.

I never quite know at the beginning of the day what the

Eternal is going to present, or how He will lead. That’s the
fun and the challenge!

This experiment is available to literally anybody who is willing

to OBEY.

Scriptures, where they appear are taken from the King James
Version of the Bible.

WHEN MAN LISTENS, GOD SPEAKS

WHEN MAN OBEYS, GOD ACTS

AND SO THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD IS BUILT

Isaiah 8:15

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken,
and be snared, and be taken.
Bind up the testimony; seal the law among my disciples.
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Rhema is simply what God tells you through the Holy Spirit
and must be obeyed in faith. ANYBODY CAN RECEIVE
RHEMA, who intends to obey what they receive. God
wants desperately to communicate with His people. As
you obey you will find you will get to KNOW God
better.

Rhema is shown in italics. This includes scriptures received to

assist understanding.

Acts 12:1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth
his hands to vex certain of the church.

Acts 12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the
sword.

Acts 12:3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded

further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of Unleavened
Bread.)

Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in

prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to
keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the
people.

RHEMA: Notice the mention of “Feast of Unleavened Bread”. My

“Feast of Unleavened Bread” was one of the feasts my
early church still kept (Leviticus 23: 1-6), so why not now?

These feast are My teaching tool to still lead those to Jesus, who
have not yet done so.

Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to

bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no
longer under a schoolmaster.

Because of deception Satan has managed to deceive most of My

Church into adopting days I have never sanctioned, such as
Easter, Christmas, Halloween and a host of other days,
including Sunday worship. In so doing, Satan now controls
most of My people and the world with devastating results..

Notice also in My New Covenant “Easter” is never mentioned as

one of My Feasts. Herod, as a pagan kept “Easter” in a largely
pagan world with many gods being worshipped. This is the

 5

situation to-day and why I warn My people to come out of the

Babylon of religious confusion!

The Pagan Origin of Easter”

http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract1.html

“The Origin of Christmas”:

http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/tracts/tract3.html

My Son does not sanitize pagan customs, which go directly

against My Laws, which He has, through His sacrifice
fulfilled at fearful cost!

Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from
the law, till all be fulfilled.

Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass,

than one tittle of the law to fail.

Acts 12:5 ¶ Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was
made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Acts 12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the
same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound
with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the
prison.

Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and
a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side,
and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell
off from his hands.

Acts 12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on
thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy
garment about thee, and follow me.

Acts 12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it
was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a
vision.

RHEMA: Notice Peter thought he had had a vision, but this was a
series of miracles of release. Once My angel’s mission is
completed, then you are told the angel departs.

Acts 12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward,
they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which
opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and
passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel
departed from him.

Acts 12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I
know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath
delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the
expectation of the people of the Jews.

RHEMA: This was a great revelation to Peter of My love and

personal care for him.

Acts 12:12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to

the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was
Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

Acts 12:13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a

damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.

6
 7

Acts 12:14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the
gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before
the gate.

Acts 12:15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she
constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is
his angel.

Acts 12:16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had
opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

RHEMA: Notice, although they had been praying for My son’s

(Peter’s) protection and care, their reaction at the news
that Peter was at the door, proved they had much to learn
about belief in answered prayer. This was a human
reaction, but a powerful experience of kingdom living.

They were to receive many of such experiences in this time of

training with My Son, as are all of My people are now doing.
You must look at all happenings through the eyes of the
miraculous.

Nothing concerning My own people happens that is not on this

Kingdom level, even the “so called” failures, for they are
My teaching tools in patience and overcoming.

Acts 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold
their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him
out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto
James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into
another place.

RHEMA: Peter saw this as lessons to be passed on to the rest of

the church for their training. These seemingly insignificant

7
 8

happenings, when happening to My sons and daughters, are

miraculous for they are ALL My Will at work for them.

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.

You are learning to live the kingdom life, ALL of which is

miraculous, for it is the work of My Spirit. Even those
imprisoning and guarding Peter were effected.

You may not know the outreach of My happenings with you, but it
is like the ripples on water when a stone is thrown. All has
purpose. The message of My involvement was lost on none of
those forces of darkness. This is all part of “Light” dispelling
“Darkness” and Satan’s activities .

Acts 12:18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir
among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

Acts 12:19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him
not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they
should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to
Caesarea, and there abode.

Acts 12:20 ¶ And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre
and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having
made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired
peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s
country.

RHEMA: This is control by bribery and corruption by “the powers

that be”, and common place especially in Isrealite English
speaking nations Britain and America.

Hit Man” - Part I http://www.youtube.com/watch?

RHEMA: The only solution is the transformation of man’s nature!

This is also the solution to the corruption in politics – not just
a change in Political parties and the system. This may be
necessary, but not the fundamental solution!

Only I can change Man’s nature!

Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel,
sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of
a god, and not of a man.

Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him,
because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms,
and gave up the ghost.

Acts 12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

RHEMA: Notice why I killed Herod, and who I commanded to kill

him ( the angel of the Lord smote him).

Satan may have his Mind Controlled assassins, but so do I. The

difference is My judgment is perfect and furthers Blessing for
those in My Kingdom.

Acts 12:25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem,

when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them
John, whose surname was Mark.

RHEMA: Notice how detailed and specific are My instructions in

My Word. I do not major in minors like so many of My people
often do.

Through Rhema My servants are enlightened and brought

straight to the point! That is why the scriptures, which are
Rhema in themselves, must be read through My Spirit.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and

circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in
the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that
being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in
newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

2Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the

new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for
the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

This is why it is so important to be aware of My Spirit’s

promptings and to be immediately obedient, especially in the
traumatic times ahead. Life and death hangs upon this!

Father, thank You so much for this time with you this morning. I
experience the refreshing that comes from Your Spirit whenever
I listen and obey.
