STUDENT REVIEW:
Apostle Bertrand teaches from the book he authored on the Tabernacle. The Culture Exchange class was taught with clarity, insight and much wisdom. It is great to see the extreme care God put into the process of salvation and redemption for us. If one comes away from this class and doesn’t take their salvation seriously, or if they come away STILL not understanding the IMPORTANCE of holiness, then, nothing more can be said. Apostle Bertrand is a profound teacher. He takes time and is concerned about the students; making sure they GET it. GREAT BOOK AND AWESOME CLASS EXPERIENCE!!

We Are The Bride Radio Interview with Tristan Major ~ Monday, July 20, 2015

I had the AWESOME opportunity to share with an amazing brother in the faith, Tristan Major. He interviewed me and allowed me to release what I heard the Lord saying to America and the whole BODY/BRIDE.

Hear! Receive! Mature!

The Truth You Need To Know III ~ Brokenness

There is doctrine/teaching being presented in many fellowships around the church world. This doctrine/teaching is causing many people to be beneath the PROMISES of OUR FATHER because this doctrine is not according to His word. The doctrine is about brokenness. 

Over the years, I have heard the following:

"You have to be broken for God to use you."

"The Supernatural only comes through broken vessels."

And many other false statements repeated by people who are in leadership. It is used as a weapon to not to allow people to flow in their natural and spiritual gifts. These statements, this teaching is destroying people's thoughts and confidence in what God has spoken to them. 

I was once a believer in this doctrine until Holy Spirit rebuked me. He said, "It was never my intent to break what has already been broken." I pondered this statement for several days then He spoke again, "My promise is to HEAL you not break you, sin already broke you not I am here to RESTORE you." As I took into meditation and prayer what I heard, I began to weep. I was begging God to break me and that prayer would never be answer because it was against His will. I was praying amiss and hindering my own self because of a teaching that didn't line up with His word or His promise for His sons.

If you search the 179 verses that contain the word "broken", none of them come from OUR FATHER towards us. He is not willing to break you. Man was created in perfection, lived in a utopia and had the most intimate relationship with OUR FATHER until he sinned. When man sins it is because he is broken and needs to be restore to his original intent and realigned with his divine purpose. Sin breaks you not God. 

Here are the 6 definitions of broken according to webster.com

1:  violently separated into parts: shattered

2: Damaged or altered by breaking: as 

a:  having undergone or been subjected to fracture <a broken leg>

b of land surfaces:  being irregular, interrupted, or full of obstacles 

c:  violated by transgression <a broken promise>

d  :  discontinuous, interrupted

e  :  disrupted by change 

f  of a tulip flower  :  having an irregular, streaked, or blotched pattern especially from virus infection 

3

a  :  made weak or infirm 

b  :  subdued completely :  crushed, sorrowful <a broken heart> <a broken spirit>

c  :  bankrupt

d  :  reduced in rank 

4

a  :  cut off :  disconnected

b  :  imperfectly spoken or written <broken English>

5

:  not complete or full <a broken bale of hay>

6

:  disunited by divorce, separation, or desertion of one parent <children from broken homes> <a broken family>

As you read these definitions, all of this happens at the hand of sin and not the hand of God. Do these things really sound like they will make you more usable by God? Will that make you a better vessel for the supernatural? 

Brokenness is not a state of the Kingdom. We as kingdom citizens are to be made whole (healed, liberated) that we might share the WITNESS of His power through salvation. Christ did not die for you to be broken, sin already did that, but that you would be made WHOLE. Brokenness is a state where many people are confused, abused and misled, we are to be WHOLE. Nothing missing and nothing broken, walking in the SHALOM of our KING!

Ephesians 4:27 ~ neither give place to the devil. 

Place in this scripture comes from the Greek word, "topos" which is transliterated to mean:

1  place, any portion or space marked off, as it were from surrounding space

1                    an inhabited place, as a city, village, district

2                    a place (passage) in a book

2  metaph.

1                    the condition or station held by one in any company or assembly

2                    
opportunity, power, occasion for acting




As long as we remain broken we give place to the devil. We give him place, space, opportunity and many times power to operate in our mind, our lives. We have to seek WHOLENESS and allow HOLY SPIRIT to seal us up that the enemy has no entry point. Wholeness will keep us of contamination. Pure, living water is to flow from our bellies as we believe the scripture about Christ. He is whole and we are to wear Him as a garment, we cannot be whole and broken at the same time. He has not promised to make us whole and then break us again. We are broken from the systems and cultures of this world that is full of sin, however, in the Kingdom wholeness is our portion, our birthright and our promise. 


I remember years ago, I was praying and asking to be broken. I spent hours asking HOLY SPIRIT to break me and when I stopped to hear, He said to me, "Why would I break you? I don't need you broken this is why I promised to heal you and make you whole. I am not calling for brokenness but wholeness." This correction and rebuke changed my life. I felt I was inadequate because I wasn't broken enough and HOLY SPIRIT was not requiring it at all. He later said to me, "I cannot send broken men into a broken place to bring healing. I need you to be WHOLE so that you can lead others to Me and I can set them free." This revelation also changed me from the inside out, it change my prayer and my understanding. 


As I have been writing this blog, I actually stopped because I felt people would want to hold to their own thinking. While in service yesterday, we were admonished to complete what we had been instructed to do. I am completing this blog for the purpose of releasing truth. Truth is needed in this hour to SET captives free, even those who do no know they are in bondage. Let us redirect our focus on the promise of WHOLENESS and not the false thought of needing to be broken for His service. 


Holy Spirit has been saying to me this morning that we have to get like Jesus in John 14:30: 


Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 
We cannot have any lies, false teachings, deceptions, or false prophecies for all of those things give the devil place in us. We have to ask for a BATH in the WORD of God, a fresh filling of HOLY SPIRIT, who is the SPIRIT of TRUTH and believe CHRIST like never before. Let us be made WHOLE! 

The Truth You Need To Know II ~ The Rainbow

The Truth You Need To Know II

God’s Rainbow

In the last several years and even the last several weeks, we have seen an influx of people using the rainbow for their agenda and purposes. Many people do not know the TRUTH about the rainbow. It has become a marker of a perversion agenda lead by  the lgbt community.

Let’s look at scripture:

Genesis 9:13-17

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

Bow = rainbow (qesheth (Hebrew) transliterates both as rainbow and bow (as a weapon))

After the deluge, the flood, that cause the earth to be destroyed then regenerated, God made Noah, His servant, a promise. The promise was that He would never destroy the earth with water again. The sign of this covenant, legal promise, was what we know as the rainbow. God’s promise was also every time He saw the rainbow come from a cloud that HE would REMEMBER the covenant that He was making with all flesh through Noah.

The truth about God’s rainbow is that it is an everlasting covenant between Him and all flesh not to destroy the earth by water. Now the enemy can never do anything original, so he perverts and contaminates that which God has assigned purpose and assignment. The rainbow God created has a purpose to be a sign of His covenant not to destroy the earth with water not to be a sign of sin and is unrighteous stand.

On June 29, 2015, I was instructed to post this status on Facebook ~  “The rainbow created by OUR FATHER as a promise to Noah not to destroy the earth with water is not the rainbow used by LGBT! God's rainbow has 7 colors; 7 is God's number of completion, perfection and rest; His Shalom. The rainbow used as a sign of LGBT "love" only has 6 colors. Why is this worth mentioning because We (citizens of the Kingdom) are not fighting to take back something that never belonged to OUR FATHER!

God's Rainbow includes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

LGBT Rainbow excludes indigo.

Seems like nothing but it is really something!”

Since that time I have seen many profile pictures with the 6 colored rainbow on people’s pages, people have made pictures using the six-colored rainbow and many have begun to fight a fight that is not a fight. We cannot fight to recapture something that never belonged to God or His Kingdom. The six-colored rainbow is perverted because it is not the original and it is used to advance a perverted agenda.

The color that has been excluded is indigo. Indigo is the color that represents God’s Word and Truth. Whenever we remove His truth we move into:

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

The Truth About the lgbt Rainbow

Color has long played an important role in our communities’ history and expression of pride. In Victorian England, for example, the color green was associated with homosexuality. The color purple (or, more accurately, lavender) became popularized for the lesbian and gay communities with “Purple Power”. And, of course there are the pink and black triangles. The pink triangle was first used by Hitler to identify gay males in Nazi concentration camps, and the black triangle was similarly used to identify lesbians and others deemed “asocial”. The pink and black triangle symbols were reclaimed by our communities in the early 1980s to signify our strength of spirit and willingness to survive oppression. As we gain acceptance of our rights, the symbols of oppression are gradually being replaced by the symbols of celebration. By far the most colorful of our symbols is the Rainbow flag, and its rainbow of colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which represent the diversity of our communities.

The first rainbow flag was designed in 1978 by Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco artist, in response to calls by activists for a symbol for the community. Baker used the five-striped “Flag of the Race” as his inspiration, and designed a flag with eight stripes: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. These colors were intended to represent respectively: sexuality, life, healing, sun, nature, art, harmony, and spirit. Baker dyed and sewed the material for the first flag himself - reminiscent of Betsy Ross and the creation of the US Flag.

When Baker approached a company to mass-produce the flags, he found out that “hot pink” was not commercially available. The flag was then reduced to seven stripes.

In November 1978, San Francisco’s lesbian, gay and bisexual community was stunned when the city’s first openly gay supervisor, Harvey Milk, was assassinated. Wanting to demonstrate the gay community’s strength and solidarity in the aftermath of the tragedy, the Pride Committee decided to use Baker’s flag. The indigo stripe was eliminated so that the colors could be divided evenly along the parade route - three colors on one side and three on the other. Soon the six colors were incorporated into a six-striped version that became popularized and that, today is recognized by the International Congress of Flag Makers.

(Source: "THE STORY OF THE RAINBOW FLAG." THE STORY OF THE RAINBOW FLAG. N.p., n.d. Web. 07 July 2015.)

As we see the six-colored rainbow was not even the original design. There have been additions to the agenda’s rainbow as well as subtractions. We, the believers and sons of God, should not be fighting to recapture this six-colored rainbow claiming it, as God’s when His rainbow has seven colors. This is even proven by science. If you shine light on a prism or even the back of a CD, you will see seven colors not six. The number six spiritually means man who is in complete without Christ. So the six-colored rainbow is an expression of man without Christ.

As a man who is delivered from the perversion of homosexuality, I have heard every argument possible for the rainbow as a sign of “lgbt love”. I have even fought with others in that lifestyle to have the right to use the rainbow, however, we cannot pervert the original intent of a thing. God never used the rainbow as a sign of sin but a sign of redemption, covenant and remembrance. We can stop fighting for the incomplete rainbow and embrace His complete rainbow, His covenant and His sign unto all flesh not to destroy the earth by water.

The Rainbow of OUR FATHER is supernatural and covenantal not about flesh, emotions or perversions. We do not have to fight to get the rainbow back because God’s rainbow has never gone anywhere. We do stand on the word of God; we do live at His standard but let us not fight a fight He never assigned to us. The president and the supreme court and believe and vote, as they believe, it does not move us from our stance. God is not moved and neither should His believers and sons.

We can NEVER change the original intent of anything. God’s Purpose for the rainbow has and will never change.

The Truth You Need To Know (Beginning Of Series)

At the leading of OUR FATHER, I will be beginning a series of blogs that will expose truth to contend with errors roaming the earth. I want each of you to read the blog and then GO STUDY for yourself, search the scripture and pray, let Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth; lead you into ALL (HIS) truth! 

Truth About Christian

I have been going to church since I was vey little. Every church and every preacher has taught us how to be good "Christians". We have been taught to obey, love and have strong faith so we can prove we are walking that Christian life. However, we have taken a "badge of honor" that is not organic to faith. 

We have all kind of just gone with the flow of what has been taught. From generation to generation, we just repeat what we have heard and not actually checked if what we have been taught is HIS TRUTH. We are in a time and season, where we have to KNOW HIS TRUTH and dispel error. We cannot overcome doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1) if we are unwilling to seek out HIS TRUTH. Many of us have been deceived by what we have called "the truth" because everything we call truth is not HIS TRUTH. 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Jesus is TRUTH all by Himself and we MUST know Him. As we know HIM as TRUTH, we become set (John 8:32). 

In my years of studying I have stumbled upon some things that have blown my mind. We must now take the time to be reeducated so that our mind will be renewed. We have to find HIS TRUTH and allow it to set our minds FREE totally. 

Here are the 3 Scriptures that mention the word, Christian:

Acts 11:26

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Acts 26:28

Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

1 Peter 4:16

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

When you studied the word Christian, you will fine something very interesting. Christian was never what believers called themselves. The word Christian was actually a mockery term that came from Gentiles (non-Believers in The Way). Why is this important? You can never change the intent of a thing. Christian began as a derogatory term and it is still one. Gentiles, non-believers, first began calling the Disciples of Christ, Christians at Antioch according to Acts 11:26. To many this would mean nothing but if neither God nor Christ called us Christian we shouldn't call ourselves Christians either. Too often we are willing to take non-Organic terms, actions, thoughts and try and make it acceptable to the Church and we do not have authority to do that. 

Christ never asked us to be like Him. Within Scripture, the word disciple is mentioned 243 times. Almost all of them are directly from Jesus Himself. We are to be known as Christ's disciples.

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  John 13:35

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8

A disciple is a disciplined and taught student of a teaching or a teacher. We are to bear fruit, the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), which is love and then we would be known as DISCIPLES not Christians. As long as we claim to be the opposite of what Christ Himself calls us, we deny our true identities in Him. 

We have to stop trying to purify, cleanse and utilize derogatory terms and make them badges of honor. It was not until the 2nd Century that Christian even became a badge of honor. The original apostles and church did not accept this term and neither should we. We are the CHURCH, called out ones purposed to legislate, DISCIPLES, the taught and disciplined followers of Christ. We are the LIGHT of the world and the SALT of the Earth, we are not what the world or Gentiles call us. 

Let us ACCEPT, RECOGNIZE and KNOW the TRUTH and be SET FREE and WALK in our IDENTITY in CHRIST! 

Are you a SON of GOD or a son of anarchy?

We are in a time and season where some definite decisions must be made. There are lives hanging in the balance and we must know whose side we are going to perpetually, forever, stand on. Many of us have straddle the fence and thought we could exist this way until death was the last answer. I am here to tell you, straddling the fence is nothing more than a lie. Choose a side and remain there. Either it is the will of God or the will of satan, whose WILL, will you be a son of?

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14

Sons of God are not just people who claim sonship. A Son of God, according to scripture, must be led (instructed, guided and obedient to) the Spirit of God. All sons of God are new creatures in Christ. Our highest calling will never be ministry but sonship. Our sonship is eternal and will never end but our ministries will. 

As we are led of the Spirit we will walk and line in the identity that has predestined for us. We are not just people who are on the earth but we are AMBASSADORS of Heaven. We are legislators of the WILL of our FATHER. We are king-priest, dually mantled, to advance the Kingdom of God. We are the SALT of the earth, called to preserve that which has been left to our dominion and care. We are the LIGHT of the world, we give direction to Jesus Christ who then just direction to our Father. Sonship is more than just being a part of the family of God, it is a mandate, an assignment to change, influence and deliver the world for the culture of sin and bring them to the CULTURE of Jesus Christ through obedience. 

Sons of God must be righteous, not within their own mind but according to the WORD and leading of the Spirit. Righteousness rejoices in the truth, righteousness produces boldness and righteousness will produce self-control. As righteousness is birthed and imparted in us, we become sanctified and our sanctification will change us entirely, inside and out. New walk, new talk, new thinking to align with our sonship.

Are you willing to be led of the Spirit in all things? Are you will to lay down your way of doing things to do everything the way Abba wants it done? Are you willing to promote righteousness in these evil days? Are you willing to die for you faith? 

Sons of God will be able to undoubtedly answer YES!


God spoke to me yesterday about anarchy. I did not know what the word meant and only heard that word in conjunction with a television show. So, I went and looked it up and this is what I found: 

a situation of confusion and wild behavior in which the people in a country, group, organization, etc., are not controlled by rules or laws

Anarchy is lawlessness. Anarchy does not accept or obey laws or government. This is sin. Sin breaks the laws (instruction/commandments) of God because it refuses to live according to government. As long as we were dying in sin we were lawless, disobedient. 

Sons of anarchy fight the need to be obedient to the will and purposes of God. They are deceived, bewitched and delusional in believing that they can act recklessly and God will still receive them as sons. You cannot receive the promises of God and you are acting like satan. God is Love but love cannot reward sin, cannot rejoice in lies nor can it justify being disobedient. Sons of anarchy promote unrighteousness in all they do and attempt to make it righteous. True righteousness cannot be produced without the word of God, the law of God. 

Anarchy will keep you in a culture of sin instead of the culture of righteousness. Is sin in the world, yes, but that does not mean you have to sin. Evil is always present but you have the RIGHT to choose what you will and will not do. You do not have to be impure, immoral or sinful, you make that choice. Every choice we make has a consequence or a reward, the consequence of sin is death. Sons of anarchy are dying and not living. 

What side are you on? Sonship of God or sonship anarchy?
