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

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).

It is not my intention to address every teaching with which I take issue. However, it is my intention to clearly state my position concerning one particular false teaching that has been reintroduced to the Ekklesia in recent years. It is primarily responsible for opening the door to further deception and delusion on our watch. The following doctrine has been relabeled and packaged in a way that is currently spreading through Western Christendom like a virus.

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.

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.

We are engaged in the conflict of the ages and for the first time in this generation, the sons of the Kingdom are awakening to the reality that the Kingdom has, is, and will continue to come.

We are sons of the same Father and brothers of the same family, and we all have a place at the table in the Father's house. We are houses and families who agree with the prayer of Yahshua in John 17:21-26, and who fully embrace the Father's heart concerning our oneness in Ephesians 4:1-6.The Ekklesia and Kingdom are one in every locale and region around the world.

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 is addressing both the validity and contributions of mysticism to the Religion of Christianity, as well as the potential dangers of replacing sound doctrine with spiritual encounters and experiences. That being said, there are things about a rigid, inflexible approach to spiritual enlightenment that have resulted in dogmatic doctrine that continue to separate us from our common wealth we share together in Him.

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.

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.

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 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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The way of family has all but been lost to this generation, and there are several contributing factors that need to be carefully considered. The primary reason for the decline of family in this country is the absence of both fathers and mothers and any real sense of cohesion or continuity with one another.
