Gospel of Matthew (Highlights)

When I watch the rugby games on the YouTube, they often just show the “highlights” of the games. So this is what I am doing – I am “highlighting” certain verses from The Gospel of Matthew.

I am using the American King James Version of the Bible because it is “Public Domain.” Most of the versions of the Bible are copyrighted.

More verses will be added later. God bless you all.

God has spoken to me many times

God has spoken to me many times in visions and in dreams. Most of the times, it has been the Holy Spirit who has spoken to me. On two occasions it was Jesus who spoke to me, and on one occasion it was the Father himself who spoke to me. Beloved, it is not a light thing to have God speak to you. On two occasions, I was awake when the Holy Spirit spoke to me. The first time was when I was in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The second time was when I was in a church in South Africa. Sometimes there is no voice, but just the leading of the Holy Spirit within my spirit. Some wonderful and supernatural things have happened through those experiences. Everything that the Lord has ministered to me is in line with what is written in the scriptures.

Sometimes people get very angry with because of the things that I share, because it is not the same as what their churches believe, or what they have been taught. It is not my fault if they were taught wrong. Some people want me to change the things I say in order to please people, but I can’t do that either, because I have to give an account on judgment day. We all have to give an account on judgment day.

So beloved, if I offend you by the things I say, I am sorry. Please search the scriptures and see if what I say lines up with the truth. Many years ago I was a gospel singer, and I have been in churches of about 40 different denominations. I have often heard church people say things that are totally different to what is recorded in the scriptures. That is why I am sharing lots of different things on my websites, to try and get people to believe the truth. I am not a member of any church, so I am not trying to suck you in to any organisation. I am just trying to get you right with God.

So far, I have not shared everything that the Lord has ministered to me, but I have shared many things in the various stories and ‘comic strips’ on this website. Lots of things I have experienced are very sensitive, and the people involved are still alive today, so it is a bit awkward to share those stories. Maybe one day I will share everything.

The most important thing is to get saved, and stay saved, until we reach the finish line. God bless.

Follow God

Back in 1980, the Holy Spirit led me to check out the Roman calendar, and I had to make a choice. I either had to believe in the God of the Bible or to believe in all the pagan Roman gods. I chose to believe in the God of the Bible. Many church people have been very angry with me for making that decision. Good luck to all the church people on judgment day.

Going Home song

I have a Reader’s Digest video tape called: “How great Thou art.” Near the end of the tape is this song: ”Going Home.” It has such beautiful videos of railroad tracks glimmering in the sunset, and people riding horses in the mountains, and the misty hills, and a yacht on the sea, etc. I was hoping to find it on YouTube, but instead I found lots of other people singing this song. There are some singers that I have never heard of before. We have had a death in the family, and I find myself grieving for the loved one who has gone, and hoping that the person was saved and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. I pray all the time that everyone in the whole wide world will have a chance to get saved. I don’t want anyone to go to hell. Beloved, repent of your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour now, before it is too late.

Horrors of hell

I know someone who died recently and was given a second chance to come back. Beloved, heaven and hell are real. I want to go to heaven when I die, and I want you to go there too. I met a man who went to heaven and back, and he said that Jesus was born at Passover and died at Passover. I don’t know any of the people in the videos that I have linked to, but they all seem to give a very serious warning. We must be right with God when we die. Millions of people don’t have a second chance.

Other gods – Lots of translations – Exodus 23:13

I have shared this subject before, but I don’t seem to be reaching the world with the message, so I am sharing again. Earlier on this website I did a comic strip called: “Comic – Other gods?” Then in another place I called it: “No other gods.” So, today I have gone to the Bible gateway website and copied down Lots of translations of this Bible verse, and I hope it is in the translation that you like. Please accept the Word of God to your heart. God bless.

Irish singer – William McCrea

From childhood, my parents took me to a British based church in Salisbury, Rhodesia. Every 4 years we had a new minister. I remember one minister was from England. The next one was from Wales. The next one was from Scotland, and the last one was from Ireland (I think). I was fascinated by all the different accents. So when I hear William McCrea sing and talk, it reminds me of my childhood, and brings back happy memories for me. I hope you are blessed by his songs.

Tell God you are sorry for your sins and ask for forgiveness. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and we have to receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and by faith believe He washes away our sins. Everything is by faith. We cannot see heaven or eternity, but we must believe according to what is written in the scriptures. The Holy Spirit will help you and lead you in the right direction. Jesus promised that. Try and read the scriptures to get to know what it is all about. Start with the New Testament and then read the Old Testament. May God bless you, and may we one day meet in eternity. Remember Jesus loves you and you are special in His sight. All of us are equal in the sight of God.
  74. It seems like he has hundreds of songs out there. After doing this posting the other day, I thought I should read a little bit about Mr. McCrea on the internet.  Apparently he seems to be very important, however, his theology is a little bit different from the Bible. He says he wants to bring Christ back into “Christmas.” There is no such word as “Christmas” in the Bible. The 25th of December is the day of the rebirth of the sun god in Pope Gregory’s calendar. When the days got shorter in the winter, the Romans thought that the sun god was dying. Sun worship is death penalty in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 17). In the song: “Plenty of time” he mentions the word “Sunday” as well. There is no such thing as “Sunday” in the Bible either. I used to sing that song too. So I guess I will have to keep praying for God’s people to see the light on all of these subjects. I have been in Israel and in Rome, and the Lord ministered to me both in Jerusalem and in Rome. So that is why I think differently from other people. Everything that people believe is supposed to be written in the scriptures by 2 or 3 credible characters. However, most of the things that people believe are totally different to what is written in the Bible. We all have to give an account on judgment day.

Fig tree and forgive

This story starts with a fig tree and ends with a lesson on forgiving. These pictures are taken from my Book of Mark with my own pictures and my own translation.

Beloved, it is very important to forgive. If we don’t forgive everybody who has done us wrong, we will end up in hell.

Kicked out

Beloved, the Holy Spirit spoke to me when I was in Rome. It is not a light thing to have God speak to you. In the Bible somewhere it says that God spoke twice to Solomon. (1 Kings 11:9). Over the years I have had visions and dreams where the Lord has spoken to me many times. Sometimes it has been Jesus, many times it has been the Holy Spirit, and on one occasion it was the Father. This is serious stuff.

I love comedy, and I was watching Mr. Foster Brooks on the Dean Martin show last night, but comedy is not my job. My job is to do the work of God.

Jesus said that his job was to do the will of God and finish it. (The Gospel of John 4:34, 5:36, 17:4 and 19:30). So beloved, I must try and get through to the people some of the things that are important to God.

The Lord ministered to me again today, and made me realize that it is a very serious matter. For 46 years I have been trying to get church people to believe these things, but it is like talking to a brick wall. Some people have hated me with a lot of passion, yet these things are written in everybody’s Bibles, and all the church people claim to believe that the Bible is the Word of God, yet people don’t believe me.

So, maybe this is the last time I am sharing these things. I am now old and weary. Beloved, God is not joking when He says: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3). God is not joking when He says he is a jealous God. (Exodus 20:5). God is not joking when He says: ”and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.” (Exodus 23:13)

Image for a moment there two people who get married, and the man keeps talking about his previous girlfriends all the time, or the wife keeps on talking about her previous boyfriends all the time. That marriage could end up a disaster. God is the same way.

The Israelites kept on worshipping other gods, until God got fed up and kicked them all out of the Promised Land.

Church people all seem to follow the Roman calendar and mention all the names of all the pagan gods as if it doesn’t matter what God thinks. Every day of the week is named after pagan Roman gods, and half of the months as well. There might come a time when God says: “Enough is enough” and kicks all the church people out of the kingdom!

God has a right to do that. He is a jealous God. Everything in the Roman calendar is based on pagan gods.

I grew up in a British colony in Africa, and the only Bible we had in our church was the Authorized King James Version. Yet they believed very strongly in word: “Sunday.” There is no such word in the Bible. That word is named after the sun god. That is death penalty in the Law of Moses. (Deuteronomy 17). God himself made the sun go dark in Egypt to show the Egyptians that the sun is not a god. The Romans also believed in the sun god. How come the church people can’t see that? Are they blind or what? I see that because the Holy Spirit has ministered to me many times.

There is no such word as: “Christmas“ in the Bible, yet everybody seems to believe there is. Give me chapter and verse if you can find it. When the days got shorter in the winter, the Romans thought that the sun god was dying, so the 25th of December was chosen as the day of the rebirth of the sun god in Pope Gregory’s calendar. That is based on sun worship, which is death penalty.

Beloved, open your eyeballs or something and see the light. Scales fell off the eyes of Saul of Tarsus when he got healed. (Acts 9:18).

Christ never gave permission to put a “mas” on the end of his name. Christ never gave permission to put an “ian” at the end of his name either. (Matthew 24:5). Paul and Barnabas were right there in the church in Antioch when some mocker called them “Christians” but neither Paul nor Barnabas ever used that word. (Acts 11:26). King Agrippa used the word “Christian” right in front of Paul, and he didn’t believe in Jesus. (Acts 26:28). Peter is the only disciple to use that word, and he uses it in connection with persecution. (1 Peter 4:16). Peter said: “Love the Brotherhood.” (1 Peter 2:17). Sorry to be repeating myself, but maybe people have not yet read the other things that I have in this website.

Thank you for coming on my websites. My prayer is always for all the people in the world to have a chance to get saved. That they may be able hear the gospel message from a person, or a TV, or a radio, or a song, or a website, or through a dream or a vision. My other prayer is for all the true believers in Christ to get healed and filled with the Holy Spirit, and be blessed in every way possible. Please keep praying for the leaders of your countries too. God bless you all.

Twice the Holy Spirit has talked to me while I was awake. The first time was in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome in 1979. The second time was in a church in South Africa at midnight at the end of the Roman year.
