Additionally, though, you will also discover a discussion centering on a much needed revival for our world.

Table of Contents, Letter 4 – Elohim (God), His Love & His Discipline
According to Genesis 3, mankind is, “Made in the image of Elohim”. Because we are image bearers, therefore, it is expected that we also direct our focus to reflect His nature. This letter, then, reveals His perfect essence, in relation to the fact that “Elohim (God) is Love”. Letter four also attempts to show how far we have fallen from our original position in the Garden of Eden.
Furthermore, this note reveals the truth, mannerism and realities of His discipline in our lives. And finally, this message should be helpful to every seeker desiring to see Him for Who He Is Really IS…
Topics of Discussion:
Elohim IS Love
Elohim IS Light
Elohim IS True
His Love includes DISCIPLINE
What is discipline?
The matter of Tongues
Judgmentalism
Sin and Repentance
Spiritual Discipline is a Process
Closing thoughts
Table of Contents, Letter 5 – Gifts, Humility & Elohim’s Power
The Spiritual Gifts are covered here in broad strokes. Obedience, however, is discussed here too, as is the fullness of humility. This letter shows how these matters are intertwined. We also discuss abuses that will interfere with the walk of faith; abuses that interfere with us using our gifts. Finally, the Wrath of Elohim is covered here too, because we must know the full nature of the One with Whom we must deal.

The Holy Spirit, the Scriptures and the matter of “Absolute Truth” is the focus here.
These matters, though, force us to focus on topics like: Humanism, relativism and accommodation, as well as morality and zeal.

Table of Contents, Letter 7 – Reconciliation & Sin – The Curse And Our Need
Herein we begin a series on reconciliation. Beginning with “The Curse of Sin”, as levied against Satan, Adam and Eve, (and us as well) in the Garden of Eden. We also take a moment to speculate on “Time”, as Elohim may view it. Then, in light of that view of time, we also dwell on the issue of Predetermination. I believe this is enlightening in many ways.

Table of Contents, Letter 8 – Reconciliation & Sin, The Consequence of the Curse
The Consequence of Sin is Death, and death adds to our discussion on reconciliation. By revealing the true nature of sin, this letter becomes extremely prophetic and exhortational. Almost topically driven, we look into issues like: Abortion, Adultery, Divorce, Feminism, Homosexuality and a myriad of other watershed issues.
Topics of Discussion:
My Motive
Consequences in Application
Perfect Examples

Table of Contents, Letter 9 – Reconciliation, Sins Cure
Taking our discussion on reconciliation to another level, this missive discusses the Cure for our Sin, and introduces Yehoshua as our Messiah and Master. Additionally, forgiveness; righteousness; reverence and overcoming sin are also discussed in this note. and finally, Lucifer (Satan) and his motives, are exposed here as well.

Table of Contents, Letter 10 – Reconciliation, Our Choice
Although humanity, “Is created in the image of Elohim”, humanity, nevertheless, fell from grace in the Garden of Eden. Herein, therefore, we reconcile the fact that, though fallen, we have the Freedom of Choice! In spite of The Fall, humanity retains the freedom to choose over sin. Here then, we emphasize the reality of faith and reconciliation through Yehoshua ha Mashiach, noting that repentance is the call of the day.
Our discussion on reconciliation ends here, however, just as our original letters addressed, “To Seeker”, end here. We now move onward and upward to the task of Discipleship.
Topics of Discussion:
Faith Requires No Excuses
Becoming Overcomers
Created in His Image
The Three Tenets of Faith
Abominations unto Him REMAIN

Table of Contents, Letter 11 – Discipleship – Our Objective
This letter is transitional. Moving from the basics of a “Seeker”, and entering into a more advanced phase of a “Disciple”, this letter calls for increased determination and faith.
Yehoshua, united as one within Elohim (God) is given great exposure. And thru the use of the acronym, “P*R*A*I*S*E*R”, this letter unveils the many facets of purpose, faithful discipleship. Finally, immersion baptism is also taught here.

Table of Contents, Letter 13 – The Gifts of The Holy Spirit:
Addressed to Disciple, letter 13 begins a four-part discussion on our Spiritual gifts. Letter 5, therefore, is expanded upon, while we learn that The Holy Spirit has in fact bestowed gifts upon every believer. While letters 14 – 16 are much more detailed in content, this letter discusses the gifts of The Holy Spirit in broad strokes.
This letter, however, also contains a questionnaire that may prove useful to you, in discovering those gifts which the The Holy Spirit may have given you. This is great stuff!

The Service gifts are our focus in letter 15. The true nature of the gifts of Apostle
Evangelist
Pastor
Teacher are all discussed here. The Gift of the Prophet is discussed in Letter 16, so that a clear view can be seen of the difference between this Gift of a Prophet, and the Sign Gift – Of the Office of the Prophet.
This letter further exposes the hireling and the Nicolaitan, while the positions of Overseer and elder are also discussed.
Finally, the controversial matter of female pastor’s, and female teachers (over adult men), is exposed. The Fall in the Garden has caused many hardships for humanity, and controversy always accompanies spiritual matters “In This Creation”. Satan has made it so!

Table of Contents, Letter 17 – Living as Disciples:

With candor and ease, this discussion includes the topics of: humility, thankfulness, obedience, faithfulness, integrity, honor, truthfulness, reverence, wholeheartedness, submissiveness, mercy, joy and love. Furthermore, the fruit of The Holy Spirit is compared to the deeds of the flesh, revealing even more lines in the sand.

Table of Contents, Letter 18 – Tribulation & The Snatching (Rapture):
I reveal my personal thoughts and comprehension for/and about the tribulation period, and the snatching (rapture). I also speak against the notion of a pre-tribulation rapture, which is popular today. This letter is deeply prophetic, as herein I reveal the “Snatching”, as I perceive it to be. Support for my conclusions come from the lives of Noah and Lot.
I also discuss “The Two Witnesses”, and “The 144,000” Chosen Ones of Israel.

This is a prophetic/teaching message to the Body of Yehoshua ha Mashiach. Letter 21 points to the Signs of Yehoshua’s Return – primarily from Matthew 24.

Table of Contents, Letter 22: – The Exalted Name and The Trinity:
A Vital Chapter!
Written in response to numerous inquiries into the existence of the Trinity; into the Triune Personalities of Elohim, this letter has become the linchpin of everything “Exalted Name Bible™”. The very words I was studying and discovering revealed the Trinity, and these discoveries demanded a much deeper study.
Laboring thru thousands of intense word by word examinations, digging into the Hebrew and/or Greek meaning of those words, I learned a great deal about the Names and Titles of our Elohim. Surprisingly enough, the very interpretation and use of those Names PROVE the fullness of The Trinity. Letter 22, therefore, is a must read for every Disciple of Yehoshua ha Mashiach!
I first gave thought to The Exalted Name Bible™ during this particular study. Now complete, The ENB™ took twelve (12) years to develop and publish.

Table of Contents, Letter 23 – Understanding Times & Events, and The Fullness of Spiritual Warfare:
This letter is a throwback teaching in the style of the original nineteen letters. The topic of this discussion, however, is Spiritual Warfare. Satan’s activity in our world is increasing day by day. The proof of that fact glares at us every day! As Children and Disciples of Yehoshua, however, we must recognize the evil about us, and knowingly fight the good fight.
Scripture speaks of, “The Spirit of Life”, but how about, “the spirit of deep sleep”? Letter 23 unveils thirteen distinct areas of conflict between Satan’s negative spirit of influence – vs – The Positively Affective Spirit emanating from the throne of Elohim.
Elohim’s “Ministering Spirit”, is provided to us through The Holy Spirit, and is available to us TODAY. As He promised, He has sent “Another Comforter”, and in His Comforter, we can live victoriously – even today!

Table of Contents, Letter 24 – This Matter of The Sabbath…
Letter 24 asks the question, “What about the Sabbath?” and deals very specifically and untraditionally with, “This Matter of The Sabbath”.
I believe this is a must read (study) letter – that provides enormous light for the 21st Century EKKLESIA (Church / Body of Messiah), and provides encouragement to one and all, as we labor in The End Time Harvest!
