The reality that I had a life-changing encounter with Yahweh on the evening of June 14th, 1970, is something worth repeating. The truth is, life-changing does not begin to speak to what happened. As I reflect back over the past five plus decades of service to the King and His domain, I attribute the early years of my walk with the Sovereign, with the son I am still becoming today.

The topic of spiritual growth and development has been broadly spoken to in many essays, articles, and books. However, I would like to speak more directly to the four phases of my life and journey with the Sovereign. The first phase was all about me. The second phase was all about me and Him. The third phase was about Him and me, and the fourth phase has and is all about Him.

The "Adam gene" is a concept often associated with the Y-chromosomal Adam, which is the most recent common ancestor from whom all currently living humans are directly descended patrilineally. This term comes from the biblical figure Adam and refers to the male counterpart to the mitochondrial Eve, the most recent common matrilineal ancestor. Y-chromosomal Adam lived thousands of years ago and is estimated based on genetic analysis.

Building something new involves preparing the site for the foundation and building on the foundation according to specific plans/schematics or blueprints. Now, think about all of the above as it pertains to the house that Yahshua is building, which is His Father’s house.

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?

Before the fall, Adam and Eve walked in perfect communion with Yahweh, fully aware of their identity and purpose. But after disobedience, they hid from Yahweh, signaling a loss of intimacy and a shift in their self-perception. Anxiety crept in, followed by alienation—not just from Yahweh but from their own true selves (The Authentic Man). This "spiritual amnesia" meant forgetting who they were in relation to their Creator, leading humanity into generations of identity struggles (The Fictional Man).

A massive rift continues to grow between the true sons of the Kingdom and those who are content with existing in the false reality and matrix of the Religion of Christianity. The following material is the premise from which many view and interpret the Scripture concerning the last of days and end of times. The reality is most of us believe something to be true that we have never prayerfully considered or properly vetted for ourselves, and we are uncertain about what to believe one way or the other.

At one time or the other, we have all formed doctrines, positions, and views based on bad theology, and have unfortunately failed to accurately represent the way of the Father's heart by Holy Spirit. Selah! From time to time, it becomes necessary to redefine some terms and phrases that are being commonly used by people who do not have a good working knowledge of the Scripture, or have embraced another gospel, spirit, or extra-biblical influence. We may share a joint destiny, but still be on different paths. However, when our paths intersect in time, let love and grace order our steps together.

There are basically two things that are preventing us from advancing the Kingdom on a global scale.

These are watershed and benchmark moments in both the Ekklesia and Kingdom. The question is, will we continue to foster and support what we know is not working that well, or will we leave the security of safe harbors in order to navigate uncharted waters?

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.

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.

Eschatology, the study of the "end times" or humanity’s ultimate destiny, has captivated the minds of believers across centuries and faith traditions. Rooted in the desire to understand the culmination of history and the fulfillment of divine promises, eschatology provides profound insights into the purpose of life and the hope for what lies beyond. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, three of the world’s most prominent monotheistic religions, each embrace eschatological frameworks that reflect their distinct theological foundations.

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.

Throughout history, the Scriptures—comprising both of the Older and Newer Testaments—have served as a source of divine wisdom, guidance, and inspiration for countless individuals and communities. Among their many treasures are the profound announcements that echo across the ages, offering insight into Yahweh’s character, humanity’s purpose, and the unfolding of His redemptive plan. These declarations have not only shaped the spiritual lives of believers but have also profoundly influenced culture, ethics, and history.

If you are still serving and promoting an angry, vengeful, and vindictive God, then you may want to take another look at the price of redemption. Yahweh the Father sent Yahshua His son to show us the way back home, and then fulfilled every promise He made concerning His return on the Day of Pentecost. Selah!

This book has been a long time coming, and there seems to be growing concerns about the reality of HELL and eternal retribution. It is my intent to offer a better understanding of the origin, history, and development of the doctrine of HELL, the Netherworld, or realm of the dead and damned. This generations fascination with death, HELL, and the afterlife have become prevalent in my lifetime. Halloween, Witchcraft and Horror Movies have captured the hearts and minds of most of this generation, and they romanticize and glorify vampirism, cannibalism, bestiality, and necromancy.

2024 has been a year of forging Kingdom Relationships that will exponentially impact the worlds in which we live on a global scale.

Being a disciple maker of believers is both an honor and great responsibility. It is not something for which everyone is necessarily gifted and graced. However, believers everywhere need to understand that we all have a part in the process of making disciples and helping His sons discover the purpose for which they were born. Due to the reality that there is very little disciple making going on in the world today, many believers in this generation have yet to discover the purpose for which they were born, and even fewer ever fully receive their rightful inheritance as SONS.
