THREE LIFE-CHANGING BLESSINGS THE MOST HOLY NAME BRINGS

In Y’shua's time Jewish custom forbid everyone from pronouncing the names I am and YHVH. The Jews called God Adonai instead. But Y’shua was there to replace with the truth the false teachings lurking in the minds of His disciples. He uncovered the God-appointed names (reverting Adonai to I AM and YHVH) and pronounced them publicly. He did at the risk of being stoned to death (John 8:59). 

⁶ Father, I have revealed [uncovered] Your name to those whom You gave Me out of the world… ⁸ I gave them the words that You gave Me and they accepted them… ¹⁴ I have given them Your Word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world… ¹⁷ Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth. ²⁶ I have made Your name known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for Me may be in them and that I Myself may be in them. JOHN 17

Y'shua prompted His disciples to stop calling God Adonai whose real names were I AM and YHVH (Hebrews 2:12). To this we should take cue. Let us stop calling Him Jesus whose real name is Y'shua. Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31 instruct us to call Him Y’shua. The instruction is a command, imperative for everyone to obey.

The name Y'shua brings three blessings to those who put their faith in it. As a Pastor I would not want anyone to miss the blessings. They are life-changing. 

What are these blessings?

Blessing No. 1:  YOU GET A WEAPON TO REPEL LUCIFER AND HIS DEMONS.

The most holy name is an extremely powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. It shoos away the demonic spirits in our midst and neutralizes their wicked works. Tremendous terror seizes them every time the name is vocalized.  

There are occasions when I do exorcism with other pastors. It has been observed that when their “In Jesus’ name!” fails to cast out the demons, my “In the name of our Lord Messiah Y’shua!” works. My xperience jibes with the finding of the Seventy-Two:

¹⁷ The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.” LUKE 10

If we carry the name of Y'shua in our hearts, there is no reason for us to fear Lucifer and his demons. As Don Moen said in his song Be Strong and Take Courage, “Nothing can face you that you can’t command.” 

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. EPHESIANS 6

Blessing No. 2:  PERSONAL SALVATION

¹² Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. ACTS 4

The demons have replaced the most holy name. First, because replacement causes them no fear, discomfort or pain. Second, because they do not want anyone to be saved. Do not be deceived though. There is no other name by which we could be saved.

⁹ If you confess with your mouth Y’shua is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved… ¹³ For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ROMANS 10

¹² To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— ¹³ children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. JOHN 1

If you carry the name of Y'shua is your heart, be ready for your faith will be tested. The evil empire will make life very difficult for you. You will experience rejection, alienation, persecution and hostility. Y’shua warned about it: “They will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of My name” (Luke 21:12).

Stand firm and God will say to you: “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My Word and have not denied My name” (Revelation 3:8). 

Blessing No. 3:  Key to Quick Answered Prayer

¹³ I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. ¹⁴ You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it. JOHN 14 

If you carry the name of Y'shua in your heart, you will not have to steal, beg or borrow from your neighbor when you come to be in need of something. You will not have to weigh down your heart with worry or envy or self-pity. You can ask God to supply you your need in Y’shua’s name. God will deliver the needy who cry out to Him (Psalm 72:12). There is nothing He cannot give. His wealth has no limit; He owns everything (Job 41:11, Psalm 24:1, Leviticus 225:23, Psalm 50:10, Haggai 2:8). He can create anything out of nothing.

What is it that you need? The word ask in Matthew 7:7 is aiteo. The better translation for it is demand. Demand to be given in Y’shua’s name.  

Your needs can be categorized into six:

1. PHYSICAL NEED: Health, vitality and strength;
2. MATERIAL NEED: Food, water, clothing, shelter, heat and air;
3. MENTAL NEED: Knowledge, understanding and wisdom;
4. EMOTIONAL NEED, companionship and laughter;  
5. FINANCIAL NEED: Regular source of income or financial security; and
6. SPIRITUAL NEED: Soul-growth, salvation, restoration, inner joy and serenity. 

² You want something, but you don’t get it… You do not have, because you do not ask God. JAMES 4

²⁴ Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. JOHN 16

The Philippines has a very high incidence of poverty and misery, even among the Born Again pastors. Yet nobody has to wallow in it. God has promised to give abundance to those who ask for it (Matthew 25:28).

²¹ It is very easy for the Lord to make a poor person suddenly rich. SIRACH 11  

Learning Application: We have taken the liberty of replacing all scriptural references to “Jesus” and “Christ” in this blog with Y’shua and Messiah respectively. That is because when Y’shua said “Ask in My name”, He was saying "Ask in My Hebrew Aramaic name." Also because when the Seventy-Two said “Even the demons submit to us in Your name”, they were saying "The demons submit to us in Your Hebrew Aramaic name." Furthermore, because when the Scripture says “There is no other name by which we must be saved”, the Scripture means His Hebrew Aramaic name. The name Jesus does not exist then.

IF JESUS IS NOT GOD'S NAME, HOW COME THE DEMONS FLEE WHEN THE NAME IS INVOKED AGAINST THEM? 

Bishop Levi Bar Thoma, head of the Ancient Apostolic Church of the East in the Philippines, gave this explanation: “The demons are great deceptors. They pretend to flee in order to promote the wrong name.”

The Spirit has impressed on me one more reason: God is the King of mercy! He is waiting for us to learn the most holy name and call on it, but until we do, He is granting petitions addressed to Jesus  just so we could be helped. Hallelu-yah for God’s mercy!

Are we being biblical here? Yes, we are. God was not pleased with being addressed as Adonai. It’s an unauthorized name. Nonetheless He granted the petitions addressed to Adonai just so the petitioners could be helped. God has been merciful to the ignorant. 

Take note: We said ignorant, not ignoring. Ignorant is the person who does not know the truth. Ignoring is the person who knows but sets it aside in favor of the false. You are not ignorant anymore because now you know Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31. If you continue in calling on Jesus, moreso in teaching others that it’s okay to call on Jesus, then you are ignoring. You are no different to the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law who were stubborn and sinful: stubborn because they were forcing their human will to prevail over God’s will, and sinful because they were deliberately ignoring and disobeying God’s instruction.

²¹ I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.  MATTHEW 5

Share Your Blessing

Aren’t you blessed today? Oh, yes, you are! Many do not know the most holy name, but you do now. Many do not know the three blessings that come with calling on the name, but you do now. Use your gain to your advantage. Pause for a moment and pray in the name of Y’shua. Go ahead, pray for freedom from satanic bondage, for freedom from poverty and misery, for freedom from the Second Death.

One more thing: Do not keep your gain to yourself, please. Share it and bless your neighbors with it, especially your loved ones. Spread the Good News!

³² Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. ³³ But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven. MATTHEW 10

⁸ I tell you, whoever acknowledges Me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns Me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. LUKE 12

THE MOST HOLY NAME OF GOD

 Many of us pray this: “Our Father in heaven, holy be Your name…” So in our lectures we often ask our audience: “Who is your God? What is His name?” Surprisingly the answers vary: Some say Yahweh, others say Jesus Christ, still others say Adonai or Elohim or El-Shaddai.

What is the name of God? Men have given Him different names but God Himself prescribed three:  I am, YHVH and Y’shua.

I AM.  The name was first revealed to the prophet Moses (Exodus 3:13-15).

⁸ I am… that is My name. ISAIAH 42

What is significant in the name? I am was prescribed to make us understand that God is not only the Great Provider or the Ultimate Healer, but the sum total of the divine attributes. It is an assurance that He can effectively become the kind of God that each one of us needs.

²⁷ To put it concisely, “He is all.” ECCLESIASTICUS 43

The Son of God appropriated the name as His.

⁵⁸ “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am.” ⁵⁹ At this [the Jews] picked up stones to stone Him, but Y’shua hid Himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.  ²⁴ “I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am, you will indeed die in your sins.” JOHN 8

YHVH. The name was again first revealed to Moses (Exodus 6:2-3).

²³ … tell Aaron and his sons to use the following words in blessing the people of Isra’el: ²⁴  “May [YHVH] bless you and take care of you; ²⁵ May [YHVH] be kind and gracious to you; ²⁶ May [YHVH]  look on you with favor and give you peace.” ²⁷ And [YHVH] said, “If they pronounce My name as a blessing upon the people of Isra’el, I will bless them.” NUMBERS 6 tev

YHVH is pronounced yah-weh, the Hebrews making an o or u sound of the Hebrew letter v (vav). Yah in Hebrew Aramaic means “God” and veh means “forgive”. Literally Yahweh translates to “Forgiving God.” But to be biblically precise, it means:

⁶ …the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, ⁷ maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished. EXODUS 34

How come the Jehovah’s Witnesses pronounce YHVH as “Jehovah”? Lew White said that is a mistake. He gave this explanation why:

The Hebrews originally wrote the name in tetragrammaton [four letters] YHVH. Because the name was holy and not to be blasphemed by improper use, it became Jewish custom to never use it. Vowel points were placed beneath the name to cue the [Scripture] reader not to pronounce it, but to say instead Adonai (Hebrew meaning “the Lord”). Over time, it became an offense worthy of death by stoning to pronounce the name [YHVH] aloud, except for a cohen [Jewish priest].

We must eliminate blatant errors. The tetragrammaton YHVH is changed to JHVH. There is no J in Hebrew. You can easily find that the letter J didn’t exist on the planet until about 1520 ce. Vowels are stuffed into the spaces of the tetragrammaton such that some of the transliterations have been pronounced JeHoVaH, YaHoWah, YaHuWah, JaHVeh, YaHWeH, IAOUE, IAUE, YaHueh, YaHVeh and others. But as said earlier, vowel points placed beneath the name were to cue the reader NOT to pronounce it, but to say Adonai instead. (Fossilized Customs)

Y’SHUA. It is commonly spelled Yahshua. Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary spells it Y^ehowshuwa or Y^ehowshua and says the names Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua and Jeshua were derived from it. But Y’shua is how God signs His notes to this scribe. The scribe infers that God prefers His name to be written that way, so he is adopting it here.

In the film Passion of Christ (2004) the name was pronounced alternately as “yosh-wah” and “ye-hos-wah.” Strong’s pronounces it “yeh-ho-shoo-ah.” But the angels pronounce it differently: “ye-shoo’-wah,” silent on the ho. The last two syllables are pronounced musically like a rising note.  

Y’shua is “Jesus Christ” to the world. Christ is usually mistaken as a surname but it is not. Christ is the Anglicized form of Christos Greek meaning “the Messiah.” Messiah is the Anglicized form of mshakh Hebrew Aramaic meaning “the Anointed One” (Acts 10:38, Luke 4:18-19).

We have stopped calling the Messiah “Jesus Christ.” Kindly take note why:

The appointed name is Y’shua.

Y’shua is a combination of two Hebrew Aramaic words: Yah (“God”) and shua (“saves”). Literally it translates to “Savior God” or “God and Savior” or “Lord and Savior” (as in 1 Timothy 2:3, 2 Peter 2:20 and Titus 2:10, 13). The name reveals Y’shua’s person (“God with us”) and His mission (“to save His people from their sins”). It is along this understanding that Matthew 1:21 says: “You are to give Him the name Y’shua because He will save His people from their sins.”

God Himself chose the name.

⁹ God gave Him the name. PHILIPPIANS 2

To supplant the God-appointed name with another is an act of defiance and irreverence.

Throughout the Scripture giving names was an affirmation of dominion. God renamed those whom He chose for certain tasks (eg. Abram to Abraham, Jacob to Isra’el, Saul to Paul). God has dominion over us and therefore He can rename any one of us anytime.

God has given man the role and prerogative to name each of the animals and the plants (Genesis 1:28, 2:19), but because man has no dominion over God, he is never given the prerogative to rename God. Man ought to address God as He wants to be addressed. Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31 commands us to address Him Y’shua; it is imperative for us to obey. To address Him by any other name is to rename Him.  

Tradition gives to Jewish parents the role and prerogative to name their children. Yet not even Joseph and Mary were permitted to give their Son a name of their own choosing.

The name Jesus differs greatly from the God-appointed name.

Lew White is an expert etymologist. Etymology is the study of word origins. According to him, in the process of translating the Scripture manuscripts from Aramaic to Greek, Lucifer and his human agents bastardized the appointed name. Yah (which is pronounced ye) was changed to Ie (still pronounced ye but meaning Hail!). Shua was made sous (to sound Zeus, the name of the highest god in Greek mythology). With the advent of the letter “J” into the alphabet in the 15^th century, “Ie” was made to sound “Je”. Thus, the appointed name was transformed from Y’shua to Iesous, and finally into Jesus. (Fossilized Customs)

So now, little do Christians know that when they pray to Jesus, they are actually proclaiming Hail Zeus!

Christians praying to the wrong God? Lucifer loves it!

            6 The beast opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander His name... Revelation 13

Y’shua is the Gospel.

God left His comfort zone… took the form of Son of Man… corrected the false teachings… died on the cross… redeemed us from the pledge… resurrected… and ascended back to His kingdom in heaven… The name God saves! pictures the entire process completely. 

²³ This is God’s command: to believe in the name of His Son, Messiah Y’shua. 1 JOHN 3

IF WE HAVE TO BE VERY STRICT ABOUT IT, BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, calling on Jesus violates tHREE royal decrees, FOUR if 1 John 3:23 IS includeD.

The first two decrees are Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31: “You are to give Him the name Y’shua.” The third decree is: 

¹³ Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of gods. Do not let them [eg. the name of Zeus] be heard on your lips. EXODUS 23

Let us refrain from the lazy practice of addressing God in vague terms such as Lord or King or Almighty One or Supremo. For false worshipers also go for the same generic terms when praying or referring to their gods. Let us reciprocate God’s personal attention to us, even to our individual names (John 10:3 and 1 Corinthians 8:3), by knowing His appointed name.

“But in the Bible, the name of the Lord is Jesus!”—that’s a common objection to the appointed name. We say nobody speaks English in the time of Y’shua. The Jews spoke and wrote to one another in their native language, Hebrew Aramaic. Nobody called Him Jesus then. He was born an Aramaic Jew and addressed by an Aramaic name. Nowhere can you find Jesus written in the old manuscripts of the New Testament.

“But Jesus is the English translation of Y’shua!”—that’s another common objection. We say it is not. The English translation is “God saves” or “Savior God” or “God and Savior” or “Lord and Savior.” We beg you to translate the name right. Stop patronizing Lucifer.

Someone said, “We may continue in calling God I am or YHVH. Those names are biblical. It will not be wrong to call God by those names.” We say those names are Old Testament. God has taken a new name for Himself in the New Testament.  

Remember the Old Testament prophecies? 

³¹ The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra’el and with the house of Judah. JEREMIAH 31

²³ Before Me every knee will bow; by Me every tongue will swear. ISAIAH 45

⁹ The Lord will be King over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and His name the only name. ZECHARIAH 14

Well, the New Covenant has come. The Old Testament names YHVH and I am have been relegated (made second) to the new name. By God’s decree Y’shua is now the name above every name.

⁹ God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Y’shua every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that Y’shua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHILIPPIANS 2

Do not be confused on what name to address the Father and what name to address the Son. In our study of “Who Is God?”it has been established that the Son is the Father; also, the Son is the Holy Spirit. All three are essentially one and the same God. Having said that, let us examine the Great Commission:

¹⁹ Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. MATTHEW 28  

Take note: The Messiah did not say names (plural) but name (singular). The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have assumed one name for themselves. Can you guess what it is? Acts 2:38 is the answer.

Acts 2:38 says, “Be baptized in the name of Y’shua.”

Y’shua is the Most Holy Name!

That the Messiah and YHVH are essentially one and the same God, and that they have assumed a common name, can be deduced from a prayer of the Messiah: 

⁹ I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰ All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. ¹¹ Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name—the name You gave Me… JOHN 17

We will not dissuade you if you insist in addressing your prayer to I AM or YHVH, or to Ruach HaKodesh which is the name of the Holy Spirit. Be reminded though to include the most holy name in the address. For Scripture says: 

¹⁷ Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Y’shua, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. COLOSSIANS 3

²³…that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent Him. JOHN 5

Getting baptized in the most holy name, praying to it and exalting it are signs that you have arrived. You have gained the maturity to see through the Messianic camouflage. The Spirit has put in you the conviction that Y’shua is God. The divine truth whispered into your heart has thundered.

³ No one can say, “Y’shua is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 1 CORINTHIANS 12 

¹⁴ It is a narrow gate and a difficult path that leads to life, and only a few find it. MATTHEW 7


Next Post:  THE THREE LIFE-CHANGING BLESSINGS THE MOST HOLY NAME BRINGS

USE YOUR POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD TO BUILD AND NURTURE A LOVE-RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Thanks to Lucifer, Commandment No. 3 has been scaled down. A commandment has two or more decrees (ordinances, rules and regulations) under it. In the Old Testament a mere decree (Exodus 20:7) is being passed off as Commandment No. 3. Lucifer has the real commandment omitted so that nobody might observe it completely.

⁷ You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name. EXODUS 20

As we’ve said, Lucifer has been corrupting God’s instructions—contaminating, distorting and messing up our knowledge and understanding of them. His motive is to frustrate obedience, to spite God.

The Old Testament correlates Exodus 20:7 with swearing falsely in God’s name:

¹² Do not swear by My name if you do not intend to keep it; that will profane the name of your God. LEVITICUS 19 

Imagine a man in a courtroom, his left hand atop the Holy Bible, pledging to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Yet when he opens his mouth to speak, out comes lies and deception. That is an example of breaking Exodus 20:7. The man swore falsely in God’s name. 

God’s name is most sacred. It should be exalted and not taken lightly, moreso blasphemed, profaned or dishonored. 

³² Do not profane My holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. LEVITICUS 22

Y’shua expounded Exodus 20:7. That means it stands.

But to Him it is more of a call for integrity—for us to say what we mean and to mean what we say, doing it even if we do not feel like doing it.

³³ You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord. ³⁴ But I tell you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; ³⁵ or by earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. ³⁶ And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. ³⁷ Simply let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and [your] “No” [be] “No;” [for] anything [more you say] beyond this comes from the evil one. MATTHEW 5

God is an integrity-practitioner (1 Corinthians 10:13).

¹⁹ Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill? NUMBERS 23

² He does not take back His words. ISAIAH 31

⁵⁶ Not one word has failed of all the good promises He gave through His servant Moses. 1 KINGS 8

²³ By Myself I have sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked. ISAIAH 45

²⁴ Surely, as I have promised, so will it be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand. ISAIAH 14

³³ I will (never) betray My faithfulness. ³⁴ I will not violate My covenant or alter what My lips have uttered. PSALM 89

The only occasion when God revokes His word is this: 

⁷ If at anytime I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, tore down and destroyed, and ⁸ if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster. ⁹ And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, ¹⁰ and if it does evil in My sight and does not obey Me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it. JEREMIAH 18

Christians are called to imitate the Integrity-Practitioner (Ephesians 5:1). That means the Christian who is not an integrity-practitioner is no Christian at all. 

So keep your word to God.

²² If you make a promise to the Lord, keep it as soon as you can. Don’t wait until you are about to die to set things straight. SIRACH 18

¹ This is what the Lord commands: ² When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said. NUMBERS 30

Repentance, baptism, Sabbath observance, tithing, marriage and priesthood entail making promises to God.

²² But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty (of sin). DEUTERONOMY 23

¹ Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. ² Do not be quick with your mouth; do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. ³ As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words. ⁴ When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. ⁵ It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. ⁶ Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? ⁷ Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore, stand in awe of God. ECCLESIASTES 5

And keep your word to your neighbor. 

A promise to a neighbor is a promise made to God. “Whatsoever you do to your neighbor, that you do unto Me,” said God in Matthew 25:40. Fulfill therefore your promises to your neighbor (Numbers 30:2).

²³ Even before you make a promise, be prepared to keep it. Don’t try to test the Lord’s patience. ²⁴ Think! Do you want Him to be angry with you on the day you die? When you face His Judgment, do you want Him to turn His back on you? SIRACH 18

God hates liars, but is pleased with integrity-practitioners (Proverbs 12:22 tev). Why? Because integrity nurtures LOVE-relationships. It promotes truthfulness, virtue, godly character, responsibility, dependability, trust, openness and camaraderie; and does away with falsehood, deception, buck-passing and moral indifference. 

God has made a personal promise to integrity-practitioners: 

¹⁴ Fulfill your vows to the Most High ¹⁵ and call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me. PSALM 50

And do away with expediency and lack of self-discipline. 

Why? Because they are the major causes of broken words.  

Expediency is a euphemism for Machiavellianism which teaches goals to be achieved “no matter what the cost is.” As for lack of discipline, you see it in persons who are quick to speak. They swear, promise to do something, without making prior assessment of what they can do and cannot do, and of the collateral considerations that might affect their capacity to deliver on their word.

²⁵ It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows. PROVERBS 20 

⁴ If a person thoughtlessly takes an oath to do anything, whether good or evil—in any matter one might carelessly swear about—even though he is unaware of it, when he learns of it he will be guilty [of sin]. LEVITICUS 5

¹¹ If he fails to fulfill his oath, he is guilty. If he ignores his oath, he is twice as guilty. SIRACH 23

Because of expediency and lack of self-discipline, people promise to pray for us but will not. People bargain with God (saying “If you do this for me, I will do this for you”) but do not deliver their part of the bargain after their petitions are granted. People make an appointment but do not come on time. People borrow but do not return what they borrow as promised. People say “Go ahead, do it, you have my support,” but leave us in limbo, at times at an irreparable damage to us. People blame other people for their sins.    

Broken promises cause frustration, hurt, misunderstanding, resentment, depression, anger and hostility among neighbors. This in turn causes the unwary to stumble, hinder the spread of LOVE, and wreck LOVE-relationships.

¹³ Do not offer parts of your body to sin, [your tongue in this instance] as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. ROMANS 6

Have you been caught by your own words, trapped by your own promises? Well then, this is how to get out of it: “Hurry to your neighbor and beg him to release you” (Proverbs 6:2-3 tev).

THE REAL COMMANDMENT

Y’shua taught Exodus 20:7 but did not limit Commandment No. 3 to it. He taught the power of the spoken word. And He gave instructions on how to use it in pleasing God. One is the Great Commission:  

¹⁵ Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all creation. ¹⁶ Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. MARK 16

Other instructions pertained to praying, blasphemy, confession, and exaltation of the Most Holy Name. The existence of other instructions leads to the conclusion that Exodus 20:7 is only a part (technically a decree) of the real Commandment No. 3.

Now what could it be? For a while, I thought it was Bless the Most Holy Name. Bless as defined by Encarta: (1) RELIGION make holy: to bestow holiness on somebody or something in a religious ceremony; (2) protect: to watch over somebody or something protectively; (3) wish well: to declare approval and support for somebody or something; (4) confer personal benefit on: to give somebody a desirable quality or talent; (5) thank: to express heartfelt thanks to somebody.

But questions cropped up in my mind: “Why practice integrity? Why confess and exalt the Most Holy Name? Why pray? Why the Great Commission? Why refrain from blasphemy?” It was then that the Lord made me read what Mark Kinzer wrote:   

Just as our words can destroy human relationships, so our words can destroy our relationship with the Holy Lord. Conversely, just as our words can build up and strengthen human relationships, so they can build up and strengthen our relationship with God and other people’s relationship with God. (Taming the Tongue, p. 128)

While reading Kinzer, it dawned on me what the real Commandment No. 3 is: Use the power of the spoken word to build and firm up a LOVE-relationship with God. Also, it dawned on me what the real Commandment No. 9 is: Use the power of the spoken word to build and firm up LOVE-relationships with your neighbors.

This blog lists the two commandments accordingly.

ARE THE RECENT EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN AND NEW ZEALAND ACTS OF MAN?

Did you know that man is now capable of inducing earthquakes and climate change? Or that war can now be waged against us without us realizing we are under attack. It has become possible to deliver mass destruction to any point on earth, without need of any material missiles or bombs and for carriers to get them there.

"We have a new weapon, just within the portfolio of our scientists, so to speak, which is so powerful that, if unrestrainedly used, could wipe out all life on earth. It is a fantastic weapon," said Nikita Khrushchev to the Soviet Presidium in Jan. 1960.

The weapon is called scalar weapon, and it can be activated from a distant and unseen control booth. What can it do? It can manipulate scalar electromagnetic waves at the locality where the target is, convert the waves into an immense energy, aim it and blast the target away without any detectable warning. The blast is far more destructive than the atomic and nuclear bombs.

³ While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly. 1 THESSALONIANS 5

Russia, US, UK, Isra’el, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, China, Taiwan, South Africa and Brazil as well as various populations of Nazis still operating in the Antarctica and all over South America are into the development of scalar weapons, according to the world authority on scalar weapons, Col. Thomas E. Bearden http://www.cheniere.org.

Did it ever occur to you that when you invent a weapon, you test it for effectivity? They test it and we suffer the consequence.

⁸ I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death and Hades was following close behind him. They were given a power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. REVELATION 6

A scalar blast on exothermic (heat) mode can cause a target area to be hit by a burning fireball of near-nuclear level in destructiveness: No person, animal or thing will survive it. A toned-down blast can paralyze or kill everyone within a 50-mile radius. It can cripple power grids, destroy aircrafts in the air, cause a giant underwater explosion on the ocean and destroy the ships and submarines in the vicinity. 

A scalar blast on endothermic (cold) mode can suck heat energy out of the target area, essentially creating a blast of cold in it, and dump the sucked-out energy at some other area on earth. It can cause instant freezing—killing every living thing in the target area. It can freeze parts of the ocean and make its water rise miles into the sky, creating a huge mushroom cloud.

A scalar blast on psychoenergetic (mindsnapper) mode can affect the electromagnetic connection between our body and mind. Set on low intensity pulse mode, one zap will knock out the target and render him unconscious. Set at a slightly higher level, all the minds in the target area will fall into hypnotic trance and become highly susceptible to suggestions and orders. They will likely believe anything they are told and obey any orders given them. Set at high intensity pulse mode, the entire population in the target area will be killed instantly. There will be no convulsion, no response. The entire nervous system will be destroyed and every living cell in the body killed, including all the bacteria and germs in it. The body will fall like a limp rag and lie where it falls. It will not rot in 30-45 days.

Climate change? Scalar weapons can alter the weather in a target area by putting to use both the exothermic mode and the endothermic mode. Clouds can be formed or dissipated; the air, warmed or cooled down; the jetstreams and flows, entrained. Prolonged period of drought or storm can be triggered to destabilize agriculture and leave starvation and poverty in its wake. Super-hurricanes and giant tornadoes can be whipped up.

World renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Bertell confirms that "US military scientists are working on weather systems as a potential weapon. The methods include the enhancing of storms and the diverting of vapor rivers in the earth's atmosphere to produce targeted droughts or floods." (Michel Chossudovsky, H.A.A.R.P, http://www. fromthewilderness.com/free/pan dora/haarphtml)

"Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes and volcanoes remotely, through the use of electromagnetic waves,” said William Cohen, US Defense Secretary in 1997. (http://www.earthchangestv.com/ufo/0209gandor.htm)

¹¹ There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. LUKE 21

If you can cause an earthquake, you can set the same technology to, say, bring down a single or pair of buildings. It may be that the collapse of World Trade Center twin towers in New York was actually the first major scalar attack in world history. Because in a certain mode the scalar beams can cause metal to soften, even to melt. If so, the planes crashing into them were merely a cover to cloak the fact that scalar howitzers had been used. (Bill Morgan, http://216.247.92.101/pub/bearden/scalar wars.html)

Scalar weapons can tweak the balanced scalar connection between the earth and the sun, and stimulate a solar response, so that the sun would violently belch, send fiery shower to the earth, and intensify the heat at its core. Consequently, volcanoes would erupt with terrible magnitudes and stir massive earthquakes that could topple the buildings and break up the city streets, with tsunamis that could engulf everything in its path.

Tweaking the balanced scalar connection between the earth and the sun can also upset the alignment of the sun and the planets in the solar system, including the rotation of the earth. [Lucifer intends to do this, according to the book Occult Grand Master Now In Christ (p. 141).]

⁸ The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. ⁹ They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God. He had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify Him. REVELATION 16

⁷ …and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. REVELATION 8

²⁵ There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. ²⁶ Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. LUKE 21

³ Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. ⁴ The smoke of incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel’s hand. ⁵ Then the angel took the censer, filled with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. REVELATION 8

²² My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains. DEUTERONOMY 32 tev

The next generation scalar weapons—called QP (quantum-potential) weapons—are like a gun which can shoot disease-from-a-distance over a population. The French scientist Kervran and the Russian scientist Kaznacheyev showed this was possible. QP weapons can mimic the signature of a disease and imprint it onto our cellular systems using frequencies ranging from ultraviolet to infrared. Manufactured symptoms of radiation poisoning, chemical poisoning, bacterial infection, and dreadful diseases like H1N1, AIDS and cancer can be induced.

² The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped his image. REVELATION 16

Scalar blast is produced when two or more scalar beams cross with each other; therefore, beams will have to be fired from at least two scalar weapons. The target person, area or thing will be hit—irrespective of whether it is nearby or at the opposite side of the earth, and irrespective of whether it is in the air, on land, underground or underwater—provided its exact location (the right coordinates) is fed to the scalar computer. For this purpose, the scalar computer is linked to satellites and land-based sensors to make it possible for the target to be pinpointed and hit with precision. In case the target is a person, the Verichip imbedded in him will serve as a GPS (global positioning system) transponder that will allow the satellites to track him anytime, anywhere—even take pictures of him in the dark.
