I sincerely and wholeheartedly pray that this letter finds you well, and ever growing in the love and faith of our Beloved Master, Yahshuah ha Mashiach. Your letters over these past years have been uplifting and challenging - your inquiries always a treasure. Thank you as well for your prayers and concern. By the grace of God, we are well.

It has been many years since I penned my first letter to you, beloved, a letter seeking for the purity of faith in the midst of the spiritual battle [tc] being fought for our souls. Little did I know at that time just how deceptive and intense the battle was going to become. Little did I appreciate the prophetic nature of those warnings; both for you and for myself. Additionally, it has been fully sixteen years since Yahshuah has allowed us to place these writings online, over the Internet, so that a glimpse of faithful discipleship may be had by countless souls. Praise to Yahshuah!

I am writing again today though, my brethren, to reinforce my earlier warnings about this spiritual warfare in which we are involved. As in all things, this Internet tool can be a force for evil just as easily as it can be used for good. Every writing presented under the "Christian" banner, must be scrutinized closely, and tested ever so fiercely and thoroughly with God's Word. Yet all too often, as has been the case for centuries, we are reading and listening to the works of deceivers - false prophets and false teachers, who abide in their own delusions and deceptions, and who seek to snare our souls. We must pay close attention to what we read, watch and hear, beloved, because the evil one is to be revealed soon, and we must not be deceived.

The intent of this brief note, therefore, is to warn the beloved EKKLESIA, against the false prophets and false teachers who are growing in number and shrewdness. Some are presenting themselves as "God's Messenger", others as "The Messenger", and still others as "Apostles sent to seek out and teach other Apostles". Nearly each one is declaring that they are the incarnation of the spirit of Elijah; the fulfillment of prophesy in the end time. While it is true that these lost souls are the fulfillment of a portion of God's Prophetic Word, in so much as false prophets and false teachers shall abound in the last days, it must be noted that unless their messages unite wholly with the Word of God - without any error whatsoever - then their messages must be wholly ignored and these false practitioners rebuked.

In the time since my last writing, I have received countless letters from many "Messengers", and can warn you that their tactical approach is nearly identical. They first wish to complement the work of The Letters. And while they agree with these writings to a great extent, they wish to present their works for my "further enlightenment". Although they commend the nature of my relationship with God, and compliment my "obvious" spirit of wisdom, knowledge, comprehension and understanding of God's Word, they nevertheless wish to add to that which God has already given me. While I in no way have ever presented these writings as inspired by Ruach ha Qodesh, the false prophets and false teachers now surfacing are declaring their messages as being "from God". And while I in no way have ever declared these writings as infallible; often remarking that certain findings are merely my opinion - based upon the Word of God as I perceive it - these false prophets and false teachers are declaring their messages as being "from God", and therefore wholly inerrant.

Thus far, these declarations of inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy are lies and deceptions, dear one, and they must be rebuked wholeheartedly by the EKKLESIA. Be cautious though, beloved, because the voice of Elijah is yet to come, and it must not be ignored. The voice of God's true Messengers shall ring forth on this earth one more time, and we must not turn away. But we must test the spirit constantly, and know with the utmost certainty that the things we are listening to are fully of God and not from the evil one.

How do we do this? First and foremost, the primary error I find in the messages being presented by the false prophets and false teachers, surrounds the fullness of the Deity of Yahshuah. Is this not precisely the warning issued in God's Word? Is this not precisely the warning issued in my first letter? If Yahshuah is not proclaimed as God; if Yahshuah ha Mashiach is not declared the Only Son of God - made man; if He is not declared as God Incarnate, (God who lived as man and died for our sins), then the spirit and teaching are wholly false, and must be rebuked and ignored!!!

The second error to be found in the messages being presented by these false practitioners, involves Ruach ha Qodesh. I am incapable of telling whether all of the false messages that I have read and responded to are guilty of blaspheme against Ruach ha Qodesh. If they do not, I will be very surprised, because they most certainly do come very close. Too close for me! I could spend considerable time here quoting Scripture and referring to my past letters, but I choose instead to press on, trusting you to visit those earlier messages (especially Letter #1) and to compare all things with the Word of God. (Letter #23 has also been added to assist in an even greater understanding for the spiritual war that is taking place around us - and for us - today).

Over the years, in my discussions with these false messengers, I have pointed out the blasphemous teachings that their messages are spreading. The rebuke I receive when I confront them is as predictable as their opening approach: I am told that any error within their message is entirely their fault........ While they thank me for pointing out the error (s), and dedicate themselves to correcting the mistakes, they nevertheless continue to declare that they are "God's Messenger, speaking forth the fullness of God's Word in the latter days."

Invariably, these false prophets and false teachers also declare that even though their teaching might have a human error here and there, they are nonetheless, in constant communications with Ruach ha Qodesh. When I receive this sort of reply, I respond in one final message, saying that:

"IF YOU ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH RUACH HA QODESH,
AND IF YOUR WORK IS AN INSPIRED REVELATION FROM God,
THEN WHY DIDN'T HE POINT OUT THE ERRORS IN YOUR MESSAGE?"

To this I never receive a reply. And neither will you!

When Elijah and Enoch return, their message will be INSPIRED, INFALLIBLE and entirely INERRANT! The message declared by God's Prophets will always be so! There can be no other way! And, the message declared by God's Prophets will ALWAYS agree with the whole Word of God. Although secrets may be revealed, the revelation will always be based in Scripture. ALWAYS!!!

Beware, beloved! The false prophets and false teachers are among us, and growing stronger in the intensity of their message. Their zeal is ever so evident, yet their message is ever so deceptive.

May the Master of Glory, our wondrous Yahshuah, guide you and protect you. May His Ruach ha Qodesh cover you and fill you with His wisdom, understanding and knowledge. And may the Ancient of Days, the most blessed YAH, receive you joyously unto His Bosom, through His Son, Yahshuah ha Mashiach.

I remain faithfully your brother in Yahshuah our Messiah and Master,
