Thorns in Your Sides Part 2

 

 

Sermon Notes of Pastor Don Elmore

Scripture Reading: Joshua 23:11-13

11) “Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

12) Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of  these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

13) Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes,  until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.”

Are these descendants of these people still living in the world today:  the covenant people of God, Israel and their enemy, the Canaanites?  If the Israelites married any of the remnant of the nations that use to occupy the land that they now lived in; they would become snares, traps, scourges, and thorns to them.  There is not one good thing said about any Canaanite in the Bible.

Who are they?   They are not called Canaanites today.  

Unity and Divisions

William Finck of Christogenea.org spoke at the Fellowship of God's Covenant People this Sunday June 21st.

This presentation is really a compendium of things I have done presented over the past several years. If one has read or heard my commentaries on the minor prophets, and the recently completed Romans exegesis, all of these things will be familiar, while I hope to have added a new perspective or two. This is because the grounds for Christian communion do not change, and the lines where Christian unity and divisions are drawn should indeed be very clear. Yet I find many Identity Christians who do not understand them, so I continually reiterate these same messages, and in as many ways as I can.

Christians are raised wondering whether they will be accepted by God at the end of their lives. With this, perpetual doubt is sown which causes men to turn away from the interests of their community and their race, in favor of their own interests whereby they pursue the materialistic desires of the flesh. When they face difficult times they feel abandoned by God, and because they have doubt it is just as easy for them to abandon God. By abandoning God, they are of no use to their communities and instead they work against the interest of their kinsmen because they seek to fulfill their own material needs at the expense of the needs of the community.

Acquired Identity Syndrome Part 2

Sermon notes of Pastor Mark Downey

June 7, 2015

Scripture Reading:  Daniel 6:16-24

'Promise' is an important word in the Bible; it either confirms everything or destroys confidence in one's faith if broken.  If you don't believe in God's racial promises as they only pertain to the White race (Romans 9:4), then your faith is without hope.  God has never broken His promises.  As a quick review of Part 1, we learned that the martyrs of Christ would be given thrones and that they would administer judgment in the Kingdom.  The great confusion generated by this premise is that the jew has tricked our people into taking the Kingdom by force in this day and age, before Christ has returned to sit on His throne on earth as it is in Heaven.  The only promise you can take to the bank is the one that will never lose its value, the promises of God.  The heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 “conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions” verse 33.  As we begin to see the manifestation of God's will for His Creation, let us understand what is meant by biblical types or shadows and antitypes. 

Acquired Identity Syndrome Part 1

by Pastor Mark Downey

May 31, 2015

Scripture Reading: Acts 26:9-23

It occurred to me that I make transitions from sermon to sermon most of the time.  I don't consciously think ahead of what those stepping stones will be and just let the Holy Spirit lead.  Well, the Spirit lead me to an unusual news story on ABC's 5-14-15 Nightline program about Acquired Savant Syndrome, which is something brand new and different than Savant Syndrome (most often associated with autism); the difference is that one isn't born with the condition.  My last sermon dealt with the conundrum that there is no silver bullet that will automatically cause someone to see the light.  The aforementioned syndrome got me to thinking that there may not be any seeds of man's doings that can be planted in the minds of our race without the Lord's doings to germinate that seed and bring it to fruition.  So what would be that divine stimulus that would trigger an imperishable acceptance of Israel's true identity?  Before I attempt to answer that, let me relate to you the news story that may lead us to the rest of the story. 

Acquired Identity Syndrome

by Pastor Mark Downey

A deep probe into the thesis of why people reject the Word of God concerning race and jewry and what it takes for any White person to accept their true biblical identity.

Part 1:  The trauma of experiencing a personal paradigm, such as Paul on the road to Damascus, brings our world view into God's perspective of reality.  Our former mentality of what we think is normal is shown to be aberrant to God's will.  It is the proverbial shock whereby we see the light.

Part 2:  A study of Daniel being thrown into a den of lions; the promises of God; the conflict of thrones and how these things relate to the First Advent of Christ and the Second Coming.

Same Question - Who Will Stand?

The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Thorns in Your Sides Part 1

Sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

May 17, 2015

Scripture Reading: 2 Chronicles 28:1-4

Have you ever had a thorn in your side?  Do you remember how it felt?  It didn’t feel good.  It was painful and hindered your ability to move.  The solution was not to do anything; but you had to find a way to get the thorn removed.

There are many instances since this warning was issued that the thorns have pierced the sides of the Israelites.  Like the individual, they proved very painful to Israel.  The Canaanite/Edomite was originally destined to be completely destroyed.  But Israel failed in their attempt to destory them, as they left some of them around.  God provided “the drawing of lots” to have Israel inherit the former land of the Canaanites, but gave them their warning about the survivors being “thorns in your side.”  

Thorns in Your Sides

by Pastor Don Elmore

What happened in the world when I was born? I was born in 1942 and America had been fighting in the war for over a year. What was that all about; Why were we fighting to protect the Communists in Russia; Why were we fighting against fellow Christians?

Part 1: Biblical and modern day examples of thorns in our sides.  Discussion of where Judah and the House of Israel settled and are currently residing.
