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

Scripture Reading: Matthew 16:13-17

A patient is in a hospital bed coming out of a coma from a head injury; as his vision begins to focus, seeing doctors and nurses he says, “Who am I?”  As soon as I decided on this sermon title, I read a description of a movie in the TV guide that said, “An amnesiac struggles to remember who he is while getting experimental therapy at a facility for the terminally ill.”  This is a fascinating question, because there are so many answers.  One could say their name, their religious affiliation, their nation of birth etc.  We very rarely bump into other Identity Christians, but it happened to me once when I walked into a little T-shirt shop and the proprietor asked me, “Do you know who you are?”  And I said without hesitation, “I’m an Israelite” and he just about fell off his chair.  Nobody identifies themselves racially these days, because it’s not politically correct.  In fact, to announce yourself as a Christian Israelite, hardly anybody would know what you’re talking about.  And if you don’t eat pork, surely you’re some sort of converted jew.  Oh, if our people only knew who we really are.  Our race has sustained a traumatic head injury and collectively we suffer from spiritual amnesia.  Thousands of denominations experiment on your mortal soul; their dead churches even plaster the words ‘life’ and ‘living’ on the front edifice.  But, it is our faith that restores the focus to clearly remember who we are while we’re alive.  We are “the children of God” who hath been quickened, becoming the mature “sons of God” and “heirs of the promise.”

Scripture Reading: Isaiah  55:7-11

We’ve covered quite a bit of territory concerning the writing of Scripture from men who were inspired by God to convey the Lord’s unadulterated thoughts as to which way we should go in this life.  It’s been referred to as an owner’s manual, which is appropriate for ‘heirs of the promise.’  The will of God is bequeathed to certain beneficiaries, but they must follow the instructions of the will in order to inherit the Kingdom of God.

What Happened to Judea?

February 23, 2014

Scripture Reading:  John 6:66-71

Before I begin with this sermon; remember I said that I will never forget Sandy Hook!  Mark sent me a great email that told about a Mr. Wolfgang Halbig, a German immigrant who became a Florida State Trooper and a United States Customs Inspector.  He also was a coach and teacher.  He does not believe that anyone was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School and he’s looking for some answers.  The problem is:  no one is giving him any information.

Mr. Halbig, testified at Columbine High School massacre and his responsibility today is to instruct over 4000 school districts on safety.  But he doesn’t have a clue as to what happened at Sandy Hook. 

His next plan is to sue the National Football League because he can’t even get the names of the Sandy Hook choir that was paid room and transportation to sing at the Super Bowl.  Mr. Halbig said that the only way to get to the truth is to put people on the stand and have them answer some simple questions.  If they lie, then that is a felony.  May God help this brother from Judah to arrange these court cases! 

The interviewer asked him the logical question:  Are you afraid that they will kill you?  This was after two detectives were sent to his home and told him to stop pursuing the question of what happened at Sandy Hook.  He answered:  “I am 67 years old.  I have had a good life.  If they kill me, they will kill me.” 

From The Corbett Report: 9/11:  A Conspiracy Theory

TRANSCRIPT: On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with boxcutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and the military combat-trained pilots on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.

These 19 hijackers, devout religious fundamentalists who liked to drink alcohol, snort cocaine, and live with pink-haired strippers, managed to knock down 3 buildings with 2 planes in New York, while in Washington a pilot who couldn’t handle a single engine Cessna was able to fly a 757 in an 8,000 foot descending 270 degree corskscrew turn to come exactly level with the ground, hitting the Pentagon in the budget analyst office where DoD staffers were working on the mystery of the 2.3 trillion dollars that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had announced “missing” from the Pentagon’s coffers in a press conference the day before, on September 10, 2001.

Part 1:  What is the relationship of Jacob and Esau as related to today's world?  Who is the most guilty in the black slave trade?

Part 2:  What was the land that Jesus lived like?  In what part of Israel did He live?  What is a fatal flaw of the Jewish agenda?

Part 3:  Who are the enemies of ancient Israel?  Who are the present enemies of modern Israel? 

Part 4:  Palestine was divided into three portions:  1.  Galilee; 2. Samaria; and 3. Judea.  After the captivity of the House of Israel and most of the House of Judah by the Assyrians, who was put in the portion of Samaria?  What important religious leader arose from this area after the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

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.

Wolfgang W. Halbig, former Florida State Trooper and United States Customs Inspector, doesn't believe anyone was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, and he's looking for some answers. So many answers, in fact, that he was paid a visit by some police investigators telling him to back off.

Mr. Halbig isn't your average "conspiracy theorist." He's worked in public education as a teacher, dean, assistant principal, principal of an alternative school and as the Director for School Safety and Security for the Seminole County Public Schools, a school district of approximately 65,000 students.

A former Florida State Trooper and United States Customs Inspector, Mr. Halbig was invited by the U.S. Department of Justice to train over 3,500 school police officers, school superintendents and school principals. He travels the country providing presentations and keynotes to a variety of school board associations and conferences and is a nationally-recognized school safety and security expert and consultant, who has provided safety training and school assessments for more than 4,000 school districts nationwide.

Dave Gahary spoke with Wolfgang about why he doesn't believe the official story of the Sandy Hook Elementary School event, in this interesting interview (43:23).

Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 23:18-27

A friend of mine recently said, “Politics is completely corrupt and will not save us” and I would agree and add that it would not have been possible for the political morass to reach such depths of depravity unless first the religious leaders of the land polluted the very Word of God and the people loved to have it so (Isaiah 5:31).  The prophet Jeremiah leveled stinging reproofs at his contemporaries and aptly applies to the modern pulpit as well, which will not save us.

Funeral Service of Tressie Mae Ramsey

February 15, 2014

Before I begin my welcome to all of you who were able to come here to remember Tressie Ramsey, I would like to express to all of you my appreciation for the number of family members who have come a very, long distance to attend.  One son, who lives in Texas, one daughter who lives in Florida, and Pastor Ramsey’s brother who lives in Hannibal, Missouri; and to all the other relatives of both Tressie and Everett, and all their children and grandchildren who live many miles from here; and friends, neighbors and even fellow Lion’s Club members.  Many of you just got to Houston, Missouri this morning; it was a major effort and it is a joy to see the family members having a wonderful time together.  It is a family reunion; and that is just what Tressie did and would have wanted.  May I give my thanks to all of you.

I am here to welcome all of you to the funeral of Tressie Mae (Brown) Ramsey; who was born February 3, 1940 to John Jordan “Johnny” Brown and Ollie Mae (Bland) Brown in Eminence, Missouri.  She went to be with the Lord on February 6, 2014 at Willow Care Nursing Home; Willow springs, Missouri at the age of 74 years and 3 days.

Tressie is survived by her loving husband, Pastor Everett Glen Ramsey and her daughter Tresa Kay Schmidt (Philip) of Ocala, Fl., and her son:  David Glen Silieven (Shirley) of Plano, Texas; and a second son Michael Wayne Sileven who preceded her in death.

I come here on behalf of the Fellowship of God’s Covenant People.  FGCP is a small church located in Northern Kentucky.  It has been in existence for over 20 years.
