Aloha Saints, Family & Friends,  Beloved of Jesus and me….   John 3:16

It seems that the Heavenly Father has allowed,  Rom. 13 a time for pruning HIS Church of the dead branches.  If you check out the 6,000 years of human history, this is a norm.   God blesses,  man becomes prideful and disobedient and God allows the sowing and reaping process to prune the dead branches.   We call our mini farm the TrueVine as we would rather do the pruning that is needed ourselves and continue in HIS blessings.

“[a]I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].   John 15:1-3″    It is interesting to note that Matt., Mark, & Luke seemed to have left this teaching out?   But Jesus is just bringing up to date the prophesy of Isaiah in 5:5-7 concerning God’s judgement:  

“So now let me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:  I will take away its thorn-hedge, and it will be burned up;I will break down its [a]stone wall and it will be trampled down [by enemies].  “I will turn it into a wasteland; It will not be pruned or cultivated,  But briars and thorns will come up.  I will also command the clouds not to rain on it.” For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house (nation) of Israel  And the men of Judah are His delightful planting [which He loves].  So He looked for justice, but in fact, [He saw] bloodshed and lawlessness;
[He looked] for righteousness, but in fact, [He heard] a cry of distress and oppression. Isa. 5:5


Seems that Biden just broke up the Trump protective boarder hedge on our Southern border.  So it is obvious what is next to happen.  It will be a supernatural blessing if we ever have another near honest election,  seems to me?    So moving from large cities and becoming more self supporting may be the way to go along with getting closer to the LORD.  Of course this caption below is secular and does not address the spiritual.  But life if very short and then what?   Have you really deeply considered what is next for you?  


Our roads here are very dangerous.  Very little law enforcement,  people driving a 2 lane road for some times 2 hours to go to work, each way, to get home again due to the price of living close to work.  40% alcohol related with an average of about 32 deaths per year on this island.  The same power pole in front of our home had been cut off at the base 3 times in the past 5 years by a drunk driver and is not on a curve.    So as the Holy Scriptures put it our life is but a vapor or a short lived flower in the expanse of eternity.  Something really “Worth Considering”  while you can.

Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<><

PEACE,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”   3/19/21   From Ken Smith<>< ken@trinity-aloha.org

For all the talk about Peace and money spent for Peace it is amazing how little Peace there is in the world today.   Even those making the most noise for peace are the least peaceful.  The vision of the NWO, Communist and Islamic teaching is that if we get rid of the opposition to our way of life then we can have real peace.  Of course the rest of the world is not up for the domination.

While at physical therapy today I read a little note on the reception office window that went like this;    “Peace.    It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.  It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”   And I wondered if the person who wrote that was a true Christian as they seem to really understand this message from Christ Jesus.  So I thought to share some of the scriptures concerning PEACE.  In the AMP there are around 412 places in the Bible, 108 in the New Testament concerning PEACE.   Jesus used the word Peace in about 32 places, so an important subject.  I like especially John 14:27,   Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]
16:32-33,”32 Take careful notice: an hour is coming, and has arrived, when you will all be scattered, each to his own home, leaving Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
20:18-23, “19 So when it was evening on that same day, the first day of the week, though the disciples were [meeting] behind barred doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “[a]Peace to you.” 20 After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with great joy. 21 Then Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you [as My representatives].” 22 And when He said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of anyone they are forgiven [because of their faith]; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained [and remain un-forgiven because of their unbelief].”

So real PEACE comes with a true relationship with Christ Jesus as LORD so that we don’t become concerned about the stuff.  We don’t need to carry yesterday’s garbage.  And we are told not to carry unforgiveness about anything.  If we glue someone to their sin in negative judgment then God allows the same glue to bind us in our sins as well.  At the Cross, Jesus had more compassion and concern for the souls of the men driving spikes into his feet that He had for the pain He was enduring.  And Jesus is our example and Jesus was not in life any different from you or me in the things that He was learning and endured.  1 John 4:17, “ In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world.  Start reading in 1 Joh 4:17 and complete the chapter along with John 5 for real peace.

Yours, in HIS great Love & Peace with Grace and Mercy, Ken<><   www.Trinity-Aloha.org

CHURCH, AS WE KNOW IT,    “WORTH CONSIDERING” 3/18/21   Ken Smith <><

DREAM – DISMANTLING of THE OLD  by Richard L. Jones  A dream I had in March, 2006.

“In this dream I was in the downtown area of a large city and there was a lot of activity going on around me. The next thing I knew, I was on the top of a tall structure that was being dismantled. It was not being torn down, but dismantled and carried away on flatbed trucks. I was directing heavy equipment, like big cranes and such, that were being used to dismantle the many structures of the city. These structures were made of stone, or cast concrete facades, with steel beams used as supports for the structures. Again, I was having the cranes and other heavy equipment lower large pieces of these structures and facades to the ground so they could be moved and taken away on heavy trucks.

I awoke from my dream and I inquired of the Lord what this meant.  The Lord said to me: “I am dismantling the old religious structures that have been erected by men. I am clearing the way to build what I desire to be raised in this place and in this time! There is a large city to be dismantled, but I will raise up a new city built upon foundations of Divine Truth which support pillars of Righteousness and Justice. But first there will be a great dismantling and many will be exposed to the winds and the rain, to the hail and the hot sun, to the snow and the darkness. I am their Strong Tower”, says the Lord. “Oh, how I so desire for them to run to Me in that day of the great dismantling! For I am raising up a New City for those who will.”

I knew then that my dream was specifically about the ‘dis-mantling’ (removing the mantle) of the old Church structure as we know it and that God was going to raise up a new Church, one that is built according to His Divine providence and not built on the plans and ambitions of men.”

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends,
Long ago I had a very similar dream/vision.    I was standing on the edges of a many acres of flat grass land that looked like it had been mowed.  You will see this in Samoa where the grass eating pigs run free and the gardens are all fenced.   And as I was standing there large paper covered crates and packages were being delivered and making a mountain of boxes stacked on each other and they were all carefully marked.  As a Lic. Gen. Contractor I knew that there had to be a set of plans or directions for the placement of the contents of each package and crate.

The all of a sudden from no where a bunch of people showed up and started ripping off the paper and the directions and opening the crates and in small groups started putting the building together.  Some had parts of a door, Some had a corner stone.  Others had a window.  Others a door and they were not even talking to each other.    (I thought of church denominations.)   And so I became very frustrated as parts were littering the big field and the directions on the paper was blowing everywhere.

It was then that I felt the presence of the LORD standing beside me and HE extended his arm all the way across the field and gently pushed all of the building materials and people off to the right side of the field and said, “I will build my church.”

Today I am seeing large denominations is serious trouble due to the virus and wondering if the LORD has aloud the CCP Virus to do just that.   There is not a word in the New Testament about building buildings or collection of funds for buildings.   In fact tithing is not even supported in the New Testament.   When we make Jesus LORD in being saved it means that we belong to HIM 100% and all we have is HIS, 100%.  As the WORD OF GOD in Christ Jesus HE is not only our Creator but also our SAVIOR.   So HE really owns us by creation and by redemption.  So we don’t just give HIM 10% and get to use the 90% for what we want.   It all belongs to HIM.  (There is no safe sex outside of marriage.)   Also we are told to be obedient to HIS COMMANDMENTS for our own protection.   Kingdom Commandments were given to help us enjoy our time on earth but when violate them it causes us much pain.  So it is up to our LORD, if we are really a Christian as to what HE wants us to do and how to live, and what is HIS CHURCH. 

There is a very interesting verse in Acts 5:12-16  “ 12 At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders (attesting miracles) were continually taking place among the people. And by common consent they all met together [at the temple] in [the covered porch called] Solomon’s portico. 13 But none of the rest [of the people, the non-believers] dared to associate with them; however, the people were holding them in high esteem and were speaking highly of them. 14 More and more believers in the Lord, crowds of men and women, were constantly being added to their number, 15 to such an extent that they even carried their sick out into the streets and put them on cots and sleeping pads, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one of them [with healing power]. 16 And the people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing the sick and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

This was the Early Church as being built and Guided by the Holy Spirit in power.  This is what the real church of Christ Jesus looks like.   Personally, I have yet to see an example of this kind of a powerful ministry.  But feel deeply it is the example of the real Church that Christ Jesus wants to build today.  Personally I feel if we would use the directions as given us in the New testament we could see HIS CHURCH come alive and into power once again.  And I fully believe this must happen before the Church gets to go home.  If there is little or no power in getting together as church then something is out of place and needs to be fixed,   2 Tim. 3, Eph.4:11-16, John 17:20-22.  The Church of Christ Jesus is powerful in doing what Jesus came to do, Isa. 61.

FEAR (Political)

FEAR,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”    3/14/21    From Ken Smith <><

My wife is a health care professional and each week has been giving anti virus shots to long lines of people waiting in the sun.   And she shares how very thankful that they are to be possible saved from a horrible death from the virus.   In great fear our country has gone into the worst kind of fear concerning the virus.   Not saying that there is no threat, nor that the vaccine will not help.  Even a little early to know what the vaccine will do to our general population over time?

But seems to me that the virus was released in an area in China that had a special lab working on the virus.   And then the CCP did not alert the world of the danger when it was known but sent all out from the area to all over the world as students and to other endeavors.   Then the WHO got it wrong and gave it to Trump wrong and many got angry with Trump for not getting it right.  Now about a year later our nation is headed into “Deep State Socialism.”   Trump even made it possible for the quick availability of the vaccine but not one word of thanks for his efforts.

Socialism/Communism is totally a power play based upon empty promises of greed and fear.   Those who believe the lies that make it possible to come into power are the fist ones to object when the promises are not kept.  And as socialism is in power their voices are stilled by death and work camps.  We see the bone yards of Socialism in many nations of the world today.   There is only freedom for the very elite in Socialism.   The workers are slaves for the support for those in power.  N. Korea is the ultimate example for us to consider of where it all ends.

About 75 years ago, Hermann Goring,   
ADOLF HITLER’s lieutenant, testified at the Nuremberg Court of Appeal, being asked:
“- How did you get the German people to accept all this?”      “He replied: “It was very easy, it has nothing to do with Nazism, it has something to do with human nature.  You can do it in a Nazi, socialist, communist regime, in a monarchy and even in a democracy.  The only thing that needs to be done to enslave people is to scare them.   If you manage to find a way to scare people, you can make them do what you want.” 

Worth Considering,   Ken<><  We need to really place our trust in Jesus.
Apostle Paul’s letter to Timothy:
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.   2 Tim.1:6-8

WALKING ON WATER

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

WALKING ON WATER:     “WORTH CONSIDERING”    3/11/21    By Ken Smith <><

We all know really well the story of Peter wanting to walk on the water, and needing to be saved.  Yes, and it is all there in the details of the story, Matt.14:24-33   “But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.  25 And in the fourth watch [between 3:00—6:00 a.m.] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.  26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright.  27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I Am! Stop being afraid! 28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.  29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus.  30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]!  31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?  32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.  33 And those in the boat knelt and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God!”

Notice in verse 27 Jesus tells them to have faith and be courageous and not full of fear that HE was the “I AM” who gave the 10 Commandments to Moses and delivered the nation of Israel from bondage after 500 years.   Exo. 3:14,   And I Am is used hundreds of times in the Amplified Bible.  But the 3 times I use a lot in sharing are in John 8:24, 28, 58.  the “he” is not in the Greek…..  Great for Mormons and J.W.’s as they do not believe that the Word of God, I AM, was speaking through Jesus and in the resurrection, GOD merged with Jesus for eternity.

And so impetuous Peter, looks at the situation not sure it was the LORD and makes a big leap of faith.  “If it is REALLY YOU, let me walk with you on the water.  Of course there is a big difference between Heart Faith and Presumption.  And of course we have to hand it to Peter, He did get to walk on the water for a little bit.  That was a lot more than for the rest of the wet guys who were left in the boat.  Of course, here is where God’s Grace kicks in and Jesus caught Peter and got him back into the boat and Jesus told the winds to go away, and they did.

So we are all feeling a little like walking on water as we wake up to what socialism has in store for us Christians and as our security in physical stuff begins to crumble.  I think about moving to another country, perhaps Cook Island, but then I have no anointing for looking for any other security than where I am now in Jesus.  I felt to purchase a lot a little north of us that had a house burn down on it about 5 years ago.   I have no personal need for it, have no idea why I felt moved to purchase it.   Went there today and big piles of trash and burnt word and junk everywhere?  2 rusted out old cars but still in the middle of it all felt the peace of God.  Felt a little like Peter stepping out of the boat, Is this really you LORD???  Got the GRACE handy…  HAY!!!!  Remember I am 88 and way over the hill for doing stuff like this.   But my son David wrote me a note and said not to worry about it, it is in our blood to like to build thing.

So bottom line are we really doing what is in the BLOOD to do.   Are we really challenged and happy with where the Holy Spirit is leading us.   Do we really know where we are going or what we are doing and does it really matter.   Peter jumped ship and had not the foggiest idea of where he was going to go after he got to Jesus.  It appears that they were possible a mile or more from shore.   And Peter was heading away from the boat, his only place of security if that was not Jesus out there in the waves walking on the water.   Really it is an amazing story and one of the few places in the New Testament where the Word of God, Creator of all things, give a clear statement of who is really speaking through Jesus and that also spoke to Adam, Abraham, Moses, David and today even want’s to speak as the I AM to you and me to not be fearful of walking on water but seek out HIS GRACE when needed and that HE will always be there to pull us out of the rough seas of life and place our feet upon HIS ROCK for our security.   That HE came to save and to serve us and to help us by HIS grace to become like HIM.  And Jesus went on to Gennesaret and healed the sick by them merely touching HIM.  And he asks us if we would like to become like HIM in so many scriptures.  In one place HE said it this way.  “11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [ If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father’s name convince you.]  12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.  13 And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as [a] representing all that I Am ], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.  John 14:11-13   So we are invited into a wonderful living unity school to learn how heart faith works in God’s Truth.  Or we are doing our own thing our own way and may end up having our talents given to another.  Be Blessed in your day, Ken<><   www.Trinity-Aloha.org

TRUTH = FREEDOM

PATIENCE = FREEDOM    “WORTH CONSIDERING”     3/4/21      From Ken Smith <><
 
Our great country was founded upon the fact that all want FREEDOM.  So how to have true freedom without that freedom causing some one else bondage or pain.  Even those who came, many were indentured servants or slaves for their passage.  They would sign up owing someone else so many years of service for the passage to America.  So the concept of Freedom for all without pain to others was even in the beginning flawed by necessity.  And eventually even allowed for slavery.   Which in the Civil War cost a great deal of pain to stop.

Now we have a different kind of slavery.  A slavery to perhaps what others think.   A slavery to Credit Card debt.  We now have a national debt borrowed in our name that is beyond being paid and will cause a great deal of pain to many who have been very responsible and saved all of their lives for a gentle retirement.

But in the words of Christ Jesus we find a vision of True Freedom.  In the great and precious promises of God, some are drawn to believe in the promises as a place of true freedom in righteousness that does no harm to others.  But in our quest for Freedom we have negative publicity to the Max.   We are saturated from birth to get things which are supposed to give us more freedom in life.  In Oregon in the 60’s I was doing well and bought a really great looking boat with a big motor to help with a youth ministry.   So I would take some of the high school kids out to a nice big lake to enjoy speeding around on the lake only to spend the whole day trying to either get the boat to balance out right or to get the motor to run at all.  Kids all watching me from the shore line.  Never did get that beautiful boat to work right and finally sold it for a lot less than I bought it for.   Each of us, if we take inventory can come up with the same kind of crazy stuff story.  And eventually we find out that it is not about the stuff at all it is about who we are inside that really counts and God’s love that we share with others.

And Jesus said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man’s life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing [a] overflowing abundance or that which is [b] over and above his needs.  16 Then He told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man was fertile and yielded plentifully.  17 And he considered and debated within himself, What shall I do? I have no place [in which] to gather together my harvest.  18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all [c] my grain or produce and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.  20 But God said to him, You fool! This very night [d] they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?  21 So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares]. 22 And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear.23 For life is more than food, and the body [more] than clothes.24 Observe and consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn; and [yet] God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than the birds!”
  So we need to pray for HIS balance about stuff and never allow ourselves to be angry over the stuff.  And that takes:

PATIENCE:

A great teaching today from: George Baltimore,
2 Peter 1:5-7 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.  Patience is one of those attributes that you cannot learn by reading about it. It’s a quality that can only be acquired by persistent, enduring, practice– and for me, it’s a drill that I go over, and over, and over again!  The original Webster’s dictionary offers this definition of patience: “the suffering of afflictions, pain, toil, calamity, provocation or other evil, with a calm, unruffled temper; endurance without murmuring or fretfulness, from a kind of heroic pride, or from a Christian submission to the divine will.”   Reading this definition two things really struck me – first, “endurance without murmuring”. I, for instance, get so frustrated sitting in a traffic jam… counting the wasted minutes when I could have been doing something useful! Yet, what an opportunity for me to choose to quench the inner fumes – and use the delay to work on my patience!   The second thing that really hit me was, “a Christian submission to the divine will.” How many times are we placed in a difficult position, or forced to deal with an “impossible” situation? Or perhaps, an “impossible” person? These circumstances are always opportunities to grow in patience – or to learn to submit to God’s providential will, and often, to minister in some special or unique way.

IS your patience being tested today? Great! Remember, love is (first of all) patient. [1 Cor. 13:4] The Lord is training you toward godliness –- and godliness is moving toward perfect love. With so much work to be done, He is really wanting to work this quality into your character now -– to perfect your love, and with it to transform the world around you for His glory!

70th Week of Daniel

70th Week of Daniel.    Prophecy Time line   Jack D. Hook believes that America is mystery Babylon?    
What do you think?   “Worth Considering” from Ken Smith, ken@trinity-aloha.org 

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends, beloved of Jesus and me.   John 3:16,   3/3/21
By Jack D. Hook,   “The Jewish prophet of Israel, Daniel, was shown by the Lord the traumatic events that would take place at what we call the “end of the age”.  Many of the New Agers who see these things are gleeful that their long awaited Golden Age is about to be birthed in the world.  And more and more people are today wondering if the nations are racing towards a climactic battle due to the world wide pandemic caused by the China Virus and the obvious fraud and corruption of last November’s Presidential election.   

Everyone knows that election was stolen from President Trump and the right-wing patriots by the left-wing socialists in league with their communist friends from China.  Will this theft stand or will right-wing conservatives try to somehow overturn what happened?  Or will they wait until the next election?  What does all this mean spiritually and prophetically, and what things did Daniel see?  To put it simply, he saw the rise of the Antichrist, the coming Messiah of the New Agers, the Communists, the Capitalists, and the Constitutionalists!

We should all remember that whoever occupies the White House instantly has in his hand the greatest sword of war this world has ever seen.  The White House is the seat of the coming Antichrist.  Will it be President Biden, having a sword in one hand and an olive branch in the other, who comes to the United Nations to restore order among the nations and establish the peace of the promised Kingdom of God on the Earth?

Whether he is or not just know this; the raging political-religious battle between the left and right wings of America’s Eagle has a direct bearing on the position and power of the United Nations organization headquartered in New York.

If the left-wing has its way, America will submit and surrender its power to the United Nations in order to establish world dominion and peace.  If the right-wing prevails, America will stand alone with its superior economic and military strength, convincing the United Nations to follow their lead in establishing the dominion of the Kingdom of Heaven as they understand it.

So we can clearly see there is already a New World Order in place ruled by the fallen angels under Satan that is just waiting for the “outcome” of the war between the socialist liberals and constitutional conservatives.  What we don’t yet know is whether the Antichrist will be a communist or a capitalist, or a combination of both.

For those who have yet to be saved from their sin nature remember this, the combined power of the precious blood and second coming of Jesus Christ is the “only” permanent solution to the death and destruction that men inflict upon one another to the hideous delight of Satan and his fallen angels, the masters of human manipulation.

The triune God who created and loves us wants us to experience sorrow of a Godly kind that works repentance unto the salvation of our heart, mind, and body, 2 Corinthians 7:10.  He will replace our genuine sorrow with his joy through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit surrounding our newly created and circumcised heart!  Then we will desire to obey the God of Israel because we love him, knowing that he first loved us and sent his Son to save us from our sin nature and the bondage of our fallen angel masters.

Below I have copied the Prophecy Timeline from our website that outlines the coming days of Daniel’s 70th week.  It is a week of seven years or 2520 days.  As I said in the beginning of this letter Daniel was shown how the “end times” would be fulfilled and remember this:  The judgments of God upon the nations will not begin until he removes from this Earth those who have been born again.  This is called the Rapture.

Please visit our website and send an email.  Thank you for reading this and I hope to hear from you soon.  Again, if you are interested in the questions above, please consider reading the articles “Then Comes the Fire”, “The Judgment Chronicles” and “The Fundamentalist” posted on our website.  For details concerning my military background during the Vietnam era, please read the articles “Vietnam: The Manchu’s of Charlie Company”, “Pacifist, Patriot, or Pilgrim” and “Moved with Compassion”.  Just click on the website link below and click on “Articles”.

If they ministered only in the last half, the world would be terrified and mourning at sight of returning Lord, not rejoicing. If they minister only first half, how can waters turn to blood, which is God’s wrath? Witnesses preach against beast and harlot church and for the coming of Jesus in power and glory. Jesus comes in 1,651 days.

Jesus first destroys all world’s armies at Armageddon, who have been gathered by beast and false prophet to fight against Him, thinking He is an alien invading force, Revelation 1:7, 19:11-21. Satan is cast into the bottomless pit for 1,000 years, Revelation 20:1-3. All saints who were in Heaven come with Jesus. Judgment of surviving people of the nations begins. Temple cleansed of antichrist. 2,300 days completed, Daniel 8:13-14. 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ begins. Praise God!

Ken’s Thoughts,
It is not that I fully understand or agree with Jack in all of his thoughts, but that it seems obvious that we might be at the end of the age of the Gentiles as in Luke 21 and headed into the purification of the LORD’S CHURCH.  In the rapture she is without spot, wrinkle or blemish prior to going with Jesus into the battle of Rev. 12:11.  The battle where the Church boots lucifer out of the heavens at the middle of the Great Tribulation of 7 yrs.  or Danial’s 70th week in prophesy.   As the heavens are purged the union between Christ Jesus and HIS Church takes place with a big party with the saints of all the ages and families.

So seems it would be helpful for us to consider what we are doing with our time.   Is it only earthly related or is it Kingdom related.  Are we sending our energy ahead in thought, word and deed in support of our LORD? Or are we just supporting ourselves and our own comfort zones?  Blessings,   Ken<><  www.Trinity-Aloha.org

TRUTH,       WORTH CONSIDERING,    3/3/21     By Ken Smith <><

An ardent family member was bombing away at me for how many lies that were told by Trump and voted for Biden.   I had a choice to try to defend or just to be quiet.  I decided to just be quiet.  It was not a matter of, in politics, who told the most lies but the direction of the Country.  Actually we had two choices in Nov.   To vote for a Constitutional Republic with all of it’s flaws or to change direction and head into Socialism with all of it’s flaws.   The history of the past, of course, concedes victory to our Constitutional Republic as having more individual freedom than any other nation on planet earth.  But we now find ourselves losing that freedom guaranteed by our Constitution as a God given right.   Our youth are believing in the unsupported promises of socialism and today we are headed unhindered into uncharted socialist waters for the U.S.  Just a bit more trillion dollar borrowing on the backs of our grandchildren and this nation will be bankrupt and up for auction.   Dollars will be as worthless as were the German Marks in 1927.   

As for us Christians, real Christians, it would be easier for us under the lawful eye of our Constitution but the Church will become much cleaner with the persecution that is now headed in our direction.   TRUTH IS, Romans 13, we will have the government that we deserve as allowed by God.   As Christians we have not protected our freedom of speech nor religion and our Bible is now on the way to being classified as a bad hate book, like in China, North Korea, Cuba and many other Socialist countries.

So the answer is in Gen. 11:1-6 and John 17:20-22,   And the whole earth was of one language and of one accent and mode of expression.  2 And as they journeyed eastward, they found a plain (valley) in the land of Shinar, and they settled and dwelt there.  3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly. So they had brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar.  4 And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.  5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.   6 And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have [a] all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.    (Look at all of the groups that have united on the socialist side?)   And we Christians are so full of pride that we can not even find unity in our own homes.  Much less our so called churches/social clubs and theaters.


Ever notice the verse in the wonderful LORD’S PRAYER of John 17, the verses 20-22?  It is the part where Jesus prays for you and me.   “ Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching,21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.  22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one:   (Notice: MAY BE ONE, it is our choice.)  But no UNITY, no POWER (GLORY)   In Eph. 4:11-16 Apostle Paul teaches the same thing: “And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.  12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church),  13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [[a] full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.  14 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of [b] unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.  15 Rather, let our lives lovingly [c] express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).  16 For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.

He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.   Iran on Sunday ruled out holding an informal meeting with the United States and European powers to discuss ways to salvage the unraveling 2015 nuclear deal with major powers, insisting that Washington must first lift all its unilateral sanctions.    Top Israeli defense and political leaders are scheduled to meet on February 28 to discuss a response to what Israel’s defense minister says was likely an attack by Iran against an Israeli-owned cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman.    The House approved a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill early Saturday in a win for President Joe Biden, even as top Democrats tried assuring agitated progressives that they’d revive their derailed drive to boost the minimum wage.   Less than 10% went towards pandemic?

INTERESTING FRIDAY, DARK

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends, beloved of Jesus and me,  John 3:16

Interesting Friday,   “WORTH CONSIDERING”   2/27/21

Well,  last night at a very  interesting House Church Forum Gathering where everyone got involved and good subjects were discussed like being unequally yoked,  Jewish persecutions, with lots of interesting side excursions and a good shared Agape Meal then the lights went out,  everything.   For the 3rd time in the last few years a drunk driver hit the same power pole across the street and took out the power.   Totally Black.   We are all sitting there when this bomb went off in the front yard.  The guy backed up and tried to run but was caught.  My what a big bill he made for himself with just one more for the road.  It appears he was not hurt.  But this will be a plot point in his life for sure.   But not one little bitty light was on anywhere.

As for us,  I remembered the flashlights in the Kitchen and so some one guided me with their phone and we ended up with a bunch of flashlights and a camp lantern.    And then I realized that my sleeping chair does not have a battery back up so needed to take my computer backup battery to be able to go to sleep  as the chair goes into a bed with a little electric motor.   And then I fully realized what it would be like if an EMP went off overhead and how difficult things would become to simple live.  Where are the matches?  lighter, flint???   All night I was thinking of how to get the generators going so there would be power for the Refers (3) and 20′ Freezer full of food.   Been talking a lot about being ready but far from being there.  But by 8 AM,  HELCO had installed a new pole and had the power on again,  PTL…   So except for putting things back together no beg deal.   But being without power for about 12 hours really showed me the needs that we would  face with an oil shut down from getting to Hawaii to make power.  So back to the top of my list goes,   offgrid power with batteries and backup.  

Which takes me into the serious consideration and light and darkness in eternity.   So let’s do a little word study on darkness,  churches don’t do this much any more.   Makes folks go where there are happy thoughts.

But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!  Matt. 6:23

I tell you, many will come from east and west, and will sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the  kingdom of heaven,  12 While the sons and heirs of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.  13 Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant boy was restored to health at that very [a]moment.  Matt. 8:11

And he said, Friend, how did you come in here without putting on the [appropriate] wedding garment? And he was speechless ([a]muzzled, gagged).  13 Then the king said to the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.  14 For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen.  Matt.22:12

For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will be [a]furnished richly so that he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away.30 And throw the good-for-nothing servant into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.31 When the Son of Man comes in His glory (His majesty and splendor), and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.  Matt 23:29

And the robbers who were crucified with Him also abused and reproached and made sport of Him in the same way.  45 Now from the sixth hour (noon) there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour (three o’clock).  46 And about the ninth hour (three o’clock) Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?—that is, My God, My God, why have You abandoned Me [leaving Me [a]helpless, forsaking and failing Me in My need ]?  Matt. 44-46   (Jesus was in our place feeling the darkness for us as the lamb of God.)

There are over 153 times that the word darkness is used one of the places especially clear is in Jude: 6 & 13

And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place—these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.…… (So hell originally set up for the rebellious angels but in verse 12 included the souls of man.)    12 These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts, where they boldly feast sumptuously [carousing together in your midst], without scruples providing for themselves [alone]. They are clouds without water, swept along by the winds; trees, without fruit at the late autumn gathering time—twice (doubly) dead, [lifeless and] plucked up by the roots;13 Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.14 It was of these people, moreover, that Enoch in the seventh [generation] from Adam prophesied when he said, Behold, the Lord comes with His myriads of holy ones (ten thousands of His saints).

We have all grow up with the concept of hell being the kingdom of lucifer and all being tormented by fire.  I even went to a school Halloween party dressed as lucifer on time.  This is due to the metaphorical thinking of God trying to tell us about the kind of pain to be felt in hell.   But actually without a body our soul would not be disturbed by fire at all as a spiritual being.  We would need a body to feel pain.  So the pain of hell is really spiritual.   It is actually to be totally awake as an eternal spiritual being but without creation and the God of Light who created it.   All are gone and only absolute darkness remains.   To have a recall of all said and done of our time on earth and the opportunities we have rejected and going though eternity without any light at all or any possibility of change or repentance.  Hell, in the Bible is seen as the total opposite of heaven.  Jesus went through that experience for us but had no sin so that the LAW could not hold HIM.

LAW KILLS, GRACE/TRUTH GIVES LIFE

LAW Kills, GRACE/TRUTH gives life.   WORTH CONSIDERING     2/25/21

IT WAS MOSES UNTIL THE RESURRECTION AND THEN JESUS AS THE WORD OF GOD TOOK OVER FROM THERE.

Moses gave us the LAW but Grace and Truth came through Christ Jesus our LORD.  In Him there is neither Jew nor Gentile……   No VAIN TRADITIONS,  just A New Testament perception of God’s Truth.   Most of the types in the O.T. have been fulfilled in the N. T.  through Christ Jesus who is now, “LORD” and greater than Moses.

It is no longer a Moses LAW game of life,  now it is all about Jesus.  Moses shared about the shadow of things to come.   It is now, Jesus that it is all about in TRUTH.  Over 300 prophesies in the Old Testament about Jesus and most have been fulfilled.   The Kingdom will not be about traditions or culture but about GOD’S Holy Truth in Christ Jesus in Righteousness.  It is about having totally clean air,  no smell at all.   I will always be a Kentucky Hillbilly as a starting point in time but today I don’t even look or smell like one because of Jesus.   I dearly loved my Great Grandfather but Jesus is now LORD.  We are to be conformed to HIS image and likeness and not to any other.   As Women are more like the Holy Spirit, I point them in that direction.

The Jews hated the departure of Jesus  from their vain traditions and murdered  HIM.   And their house was left desolate, destroyed.  Not one stone left standing upon another.   We so tend to build houses of Pride so our little ego is comfortable.   Pride is always looking for a home better than next door,  but pride must be put on the cross.   Before honor is humility and God resists the proud and gives Grace to the humble.   Christians are to teach and preach Christ Jesus as Lord and HIM crucified for our sins and then God will Honor what we are about.  Otherwise it is a  waste of life and like being parked on a side tract like a train going no where.  In Christ Jesus I am no longer a Jew or a Gentile but a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Culture can not change TRUTH nor add to it.  Culture may be a flavor,  but that is it.   Traditions and Culture made the Word of God ineffective according to Jesus and they were Jewish Traditions and Cultures.   We will never experience the resurrection power of Jesus on earth except by walking in the TRUTH of GOD as HE gave it to us.   And I would be the first to say that I also need more fine tuning my self.   But any obsession with any culture or with the Jewish culture and traditions did the Jews no good so why should we expect it to be different with us or anyone else.   Traditions and  Culture only tends to breed Pride and Ego.   It is in walking out  the Truth of God that sets us free by HIS Grace.

Obedience, if in obedience and humility to change direction to the light what is revealed by God in Christ Jesus,  is what works.   But God resists the proud but and gives Grace (Power) to the humble.  The way up, is down.  We should only want to bring to the table  what is clear in the Holy Scriptures, “Once Delivered.”  Personally,   I am happy with  that and truly want my Adamic rebellious sinful nature to die and be dead in Christ Jesus.  I prefer to be like Jesus than Adam.  And my Creator has seen to it that I have a personal choice to renounce my past and be born into the Family of God.    My new nature in Christ Jesus as LORD has nothing to do with my old culture or family.  It has only to do with  God’s Truth.  I have moved through many interesting “Cultures” in my life and none seem to have contributed much if anything to God’s Truth.  Most have been in the way.  Most only seem to elevate me as a person or perhaps an organization and ultimately cause a division between the soul and the Holy Spirit who is seeking to bring me into a John 17 unity with my Creator, my heavenly Father.   Ever really study through the Lord’s Prayer in John 17 ?   What ever Jesus prayed for will come to pass.  All have been invited into this Godly Unity in Righteousness but most have responded that the are just a bit too busy to attend.  Hope you will be there at the great banquet feast of unity in the Kingdom of God,  Rev. 19

In a shallow relationship with God, we will find ourselves being tossed to and fro by stormy waves of circumstance. James describes such a person as “double-minded” and unstable. In his trials, he cannot exercise faith because he hasn’t gone deep with the Lord. However, when we seek that deeper relationship with Him, we can enter another perspective on what’s happening at the surface. Seeking and abiding in the depths of Yeshua, our Sar Shalom (Prince of Peace) will bring a peace that passes understanding, even in the midst of great storms. The double-minded man has not yet sought or found this place — since not everyone is willing to spend the time or effort for a deep relationship, however, it is available for all who truly desire and take the time for it.   George Rivka, Mansfield, Texas
