In every generation, the call to contend for the faith echoes as a divine mandate for believers who seek to uphold the truth of the Gospel. The early apostles, entrusted with the message of Messiah, warned of false teachings, spiritual complacency, and the erosion of foundational truths. Today, that same battle continues. This book, Contending for the Faith: According to the Authentic Apostolic Message and Kingdom Mandate, is a clarion call to return to the unshakable truths of the apostolic Gospel.

The message of this audiobook speaks of the heart and attitude of a true son as it pertains to honoring the Father’s heart through real and living relationships. It is about loving one another and honoring the Father’s heart in others as well. It is also about fulfilling His practical will and purpose for our lives and thereby glorifying His name in all we say and do.

This book, The Third-Day Revolution, is an urgent call to awaken to the realities of this prophetic season. It is an invitation to move beyond yesterday’s understanding and step into the resurrected, glorified life that Yahweh has ordained for His people. The question is: Will we recognize the shift? Will we embrace the call?

This book explores both the existence and nature of GOD (Yahweh El Elyon) as well as the many different ways He interacts with creation.

While we have a number of elder brothers and friends who may speak into our lives at some level, we do not have many spiritual fathers who watch for our souls. There are those among us that believe we can only have one spiritual father at a time, while there are others who believe that we can only have one spiritual father in our lifetime. Spiritual fathers are emissaries who have been sent to represent the way of the Father’s heart to us. They provide oversight and may be directly or indirectly responsible for us being birthed into the Kingdom.

David was not allowed to build the temple, but Yahweh told him that he would build a house for him. David was a man of war and had blood on his hands, so he was not qualified to build the temple. Solomon was allowed to build the temple and the house of David, but he was warned about keeping his heart right and being a man of integrity like his father before him. Neither of them was qualified to build the Father's house because that responsibility was reserved for Yahshua the Messiah.

With all of the numerous variations of Apostolic/Kingdom ministry going on, we need to narrow our view, and with focused intent clearly define what it means to be truly apostolic. If we continue to pursue religion-based fellowship and relationship in the same old conventional ways, we too will go by way of the dinosaur. We may as well try to prepare for the next extinction-level event.

The religion of Christianity is no different than any other benevolent religion unless it involves translation, transformation, and transfiguration (where there is no translation, transformation and transfiguration, there is no true salvation). Salvation includes redemption and forgiveness. Being born again of the water and the spirit grants us entrance into the kingdom where we live, move, and have our being as a part of His New Creation Reality. We were saved, we are being saved, and we will continue to be saved.

The house that Yahshua is building is a man. We are the people and nation of Yahweh! We are the house and family of Yahweh! We are the Ekklesia and Kingdom of Yahweh! The corporate son is the living expression of the person of Messiah to this generation. The house that Yahshua is building is his Father’s house. Yahshua said, “In my Father’s house are many dwelling places.” He also said, my Father’s House shall be a house of prayer for all nations.”

After almost five decades of service to the King and His Domain, I have concluded that the institutionally controlled religious system has hijacked most of Christendom. The “religion of Christianity” has been established on a multi-layered foundation with a construct incapable of fulfilling the greater Kingdom purpose of Yahweh. The reality of foundation separation and structural damage has reached a critical mass that could result in catastrophic failure and implosion.

This generation seems to be ever-learning but never able to come to the saving knowledge of the truth. They continue to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in search for truth that will lead to super-human powers, immortality, and ascension. These have become major topics of interest. Recent discoveries and further disclosure have led many to depart from formerly held views concerning the creation story and origin of man.

There is a difference between the ongoing work of the apostolic/Kingdom ministry, and the Apostles doctrine. Going where we are sent includes preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, sharing our story, and doing life with the people. My concern is we have reduced the gift and grace to powerless apostolic doctrine without foundation. The full comprehensive plan of salvation includes Holy Spirit baptism, healing, and deliverance. We must be born of water and of the spirit in order to see and enter the Kingdom.

Have you ever felt like you were caught in a riptide, being towed out to sea? Have you ever been rolled and tossed by the waves of the sea? Have you ever said to yourself why is this happening to me? Have you ever been depressed, despairing, and needing some relief? Yes or No? We all have and will at some point experience the answer to the above questions. Every disciple must be willing to lay down his life in absolute surrender, and fully embrace his destiny in order to discover sonship

In contemporary Christianity, the words "Church" and "Ekklesia" are often used as if they mean the same thing. However, this assumption overlooks their distinct origins, meanings, and implications. These terms are not synonymous but represent two different concepts shaped by history, language, and theology. "Ekklesia," a Greek word found throughout the New Testament, refers to an assembly or gathering of people called for a purpose. It is rooted in the idea of community and mission, emphasizing the relational and participatory nature of the early Christian movement.

The term covenant is normally used when referring to the older and newer testaments of the Bible (the Scripture). It is most commonly used when referring to a legal contract or binding agreement between two or more people. That being said, it is more about Yahweh’s promise of blessing and favor to those who remember his covenant and keep his commandments to do them. Remembering His Covenant is about living and walking in and by Holy Spirit and being ever mindful of the blessing and his favor and way.

This topic is dear to my heart and one that needs further clarification. The quote, “Ordained covenantal relationship, marriage, and family are the same in the Spirit", took me some time to process and understand what the Spirit was saying. The reality that it is the only relationship that has the ability to reproduce after a Yahweh kind took even longer to unpack. Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about the importance of developing new relationships while enjoying the safety and security of lifelong friendships.

The concept of Kingdom advancement and dominion lies at the heart of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, serving as a framework for understanding divine authority, human responsibility, and the unfolding of history. While these monotheistic faiths share a belief in God's sovereignty and the ultimate establishment of divine rule, their interpretations of what it means to advance this Kingdom and exercise dominion vary significantly.

When we talk about placing a demand on a God-given anointing, we are speaking of an intentional act of faith—a deep expression of desire and hunger for the supernatural manifestation of Yahweh’s power. This is not about coercing or manipulating Yahweh, but about recognizing His divine provision and stepping into the realm where His power becomes active and transformative in our lives.

Our true identity can only be discovered through a real and living relationship with Messiah Yahshua and one another. He is the pattern son and the express image of Yahweh.

Holy Spirit has been prompting me to write and speak to what I have been hearing concerning the difference between "Freedom of Religion" and "Freedom of Worship". I believe it safe to say that what we presently believe to be true concerning "Freedom of Religion" is primarily based on a limited understanding of the first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America. This book will be addressing that understanding, and I sincerely hope that it will be something worthy of further consideration.
