The great Battle I have seen within the church in the last six years, is its battle against its maker. The church has warred with Jah for control of the kingdom. This war has been played out through a spirit of indifference for God, and His commands.
We of course know that the church will eventually need to bow to the Lord. However I see little evidence that true repentance of this humanism is taking place.
This battle is futile. Let God arise and scatter his enemies. The time is now for repentance. The kingdom is taken by the violent-They who weild the sword of the Lord.

On what do you Build?
Luk 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Run Out on a Rail
What ever you can believe for you can be so long as Christ was it first. In the old doctrines of the church we taught the five fold ministries as stopping places for individuals. If you were a pastor, that is where you stopped. Etc.
In kingdom thinking I am all of these things for Christ is. I am in Christ therefore, I am an Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher and Pastor as was He.
Now if you'd say or teach this truth at the local Assemblies' church they would run you out on a rail. In my opinion, that would not be a bad thing.
Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
His righteousness, His peace, and His Joy!

A Word from Bill Brittan
"Eagles are symbolic of a certain class of Christians. "But they that wait upon the Lord… shall mount up with wings as eagles" (Isaiah 40:31). The "mounting up" process is important and necessary to the Sons of God who are to be caught up to the throne of God, conformed to the image of the Son of God and rule and reign with Him forever. But it only comes to those who will wait in His Presence until the Glory that shines from His face changes them from the image of the earthly into the image of their Heavenly King. Not everyone who enjoys the blessings of God's grace and who believes in Jesus Christ to the saving of their souls will destroy the idols of earth that stand in the temple of their hearts, and pay the price to go on with God to heavenly places. But God has predestinated those whom He hath foreknown, and He has purposed that His glory shall be manifested in them. What opportunity! What glory! What a high calling! Praise God for His unsearchable riches, and for His love and mercy to the sons of men!"
Eagle saints have a special training all their own. The flutter of His wings make us think sometimes that He is going to beat us to death. But the Bible says that if we do not receive His chastisement, it is a good sign that we are not Sons. When we are finally willing to leave the nest, trusting completely upon Him, then He takes us into heights of glory never before experienced. Well, everything seems wonderful, and we are rejoicing in our new and glorious experiences. Then suddenly the bottom drops out, and He is not there. As we drop from the dizzy heights of glory to the depths of gloom and despair, we flop our feeble wings desperately and unsuccessfully, and wonder why God has left us to perish like this. Suddenly He is there! And as He bears us on eagles wings back into the heavens, our strength and joy returns. Only to find that the process must be repeated. Over and over, until finally we find ourselves able to use our God-given "wings" and be sustained on high by the power of His strength within. .....
But some that are offered Sonship, as eagle saints, refuse to move into this realm. They rebel against the processing of God. They resent being placed in the furnace of fire. They love the nest on high, the safety of His wings, but they despise the chastening, the discipline, the necessity of learning to stand alone in the heavenlies. He is patient. He is longsuffering. He works with them, giving them chance after chance. But some will not learn, will not yield their rebellious spirits to His will. So He finally leaves them to fall to destruction on the craggy rocks of a carnal earthly nature. You have seen them, and so have I. And I have wondered how that those who once soared among the stars could have fallen so low and come to such an end. How could some who had such revelation, such marvelous gifts and ministries, have come to the place where they could accept such heretical doctrines of devils? Or cheapen their ministry and sell out the gift of God for fame and fortune? It has happened, and you know it. It does not make the true revelation of the Spirit any less true. Nor does it take away from the reality of the Gift God had given them. It had been better if they had remained as chickens, in the safety of the barnlot. But they had prayed to be eagles, and God answered. But the tests had brought out the rebellious nature that would not submit wholly to the dealings and discipline of the Holy Ghost. And they fell. Now a chicken may fall off his roost, or off the chicken house, but he never falls far. For he never rises to great heights. But when an eagle falls, he falls a long way and is seen by many. But it is necessary, beloved, for there must be no rebels among those who make their nests on the tops of the mountains and soar above the storm clouds. .....
Chickens or Eagles?
Chickens also are symbolic of people. The only time chickens are referred to in the Bible, Jesus used them as a type of those people in Jerusalem who could not hear His message nor heed His call. They traveled in crowds, in broods, and they were earthbound. They kept their eyes upon the things of this world, scratching out a bare existence, and never lifted their heads to see Him who is from above. They ate the handouts that were cast to them, and searched greedily in the crowded barnlot for more to fill their bellies, much of it unclean. For the chicken is by nature an unclean bird, and will eat dead things and unspeakable filth. They are bound to their existence on the right and on the left by fences, and are satisfied.
But not the eagle. For he has inherited a nature that cannot and will not survive in the confining captivity of the barnyard fowl. To be happy and to fulfill his purpose in life, he must be free to soar in the wide open spaces among the clouds of heaven. It seems lonely up there, for there are not many who will dare to rise to such heights, but the eagle does not care, for it is not in his nature to mingle with the multitudes or the majority. "

Many things Bill Britton wrote were foundational for what I believe. I do not agree with everything he wrote, but was profoundly effected by his writing in my journey to leave the traditional End Times doctrines (Assembly) behind.

No Other Name:
1. The Name and Covenant:
There has been a lot of flap in the church over the use of the names of God. Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah are certainly to be used. But Father God and Jesus are not really wrong. I doubt that we are going to see a great turn around in answered prayer if we use the Hebrew names as opposed to using the Greek names or English, as some might say.
The real problem with the “name” is not the above-perceived problem. The real problem is that we preach a false Jesus and this is nothing more then the man of sin setting himself up in the temple and is the abomination that worketh desolation.
Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
2Cr 4:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
We serve a covenant God. His Hebrew names are often tied to a particular aspect of blessing and covenant with men. It is important that we understand the covenant we are in with Him. It is now called faith and love. We promise our undying love and obedience, and He promises everything He is, to be ours, if we keep this love covenant. Love for God, includes love of our brother.
Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
1Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Jhn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Deu 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
2. No other Name:
Exd 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Acts 4:12 Scripture has been used by some who are natural Jews, yet born again to mean that if we do not use the original names of Jehovah, and Yeshua, we use the wrong name and therefore are not save.
God is not a legalist; He is Holy and Righteous. He is more interested in order, then in jot and tittle. There is an order in His glory. He has shown us the power of calling upon His name. This is order, this is instruction not judging, damning law.
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
1Ch 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psa 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
3. Asking in His Name:
We are to ask in His name. To ask in His name is more then using a right name or handle to get him to answer. Asking in His name can only be done by those who are living in His Name-or covenant relationship.
Jhn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
4. Power in His Name:
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
5. Fearing His Name:
Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
6. A Deception Concerning His Name:
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mar 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.
Luk 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
An Abomination concerning a false Christ:
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] notMat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before
Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
People think that this scripture is saying, when someone comes and says He is over here or over there, that that means they are talking about a false Religion god. But the one the scripture is talking about is not a God with another name, but a false god named “Christ”.
As I have written much in other writings about the "Korah spirit", let me say that this is a similar spirit to that. Korah is the spirit that has a legitimate anointing but uses it illegitimately or against the called vessel of the hour. (The Korahites rose against the true authority in Jah’s people Israel) In Jude Korah is a spot in our New Testament love feast.
The abomination that maketh desolation that is raised up in the temple is the false Jesus and a false covenant relationship as that one which the Luke Warm Church of the US preaches.
Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Wrong and broken covenants with evil, is the reason this Nation and its Church are off with Jah, and no longer follow the true Christ. (by and large, as Jah always has a remnant)
7. Protocol concerning His Name:
We must receive the Christ Jesus our Lord, Jesuah as he comes in His Father’s name. He is God, but this is protocol.
We also know we do not misuse His name by saying God or Jesus. We misuse His name by preaching Him, in His name, as something He is not. We do not misuse His name, by using a different word then some might use.
When you approach the king, bring a gift. Your best. YOUR life! Your money will send minsitry forth. Your committed life will send Him ahead of you.
8. Conclusion:
Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
His Name: I AM, Jealous, Jah or Jehovah and Jesuah, Jesus, Lord, Yahweh, God, Alpha and Omega, Wisdom, the Way the Truth and the Life, and on….and on…
False Name: If we do not preach a Christ raised from the dead, we preach a false Christ.
1Cr 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
If we preach a God, which is just an idea of Him that we made up in our own souls, that is an abomination, a broken covenant, and it will bring desolation.
Praise the Name of the LORD!
