Video: The God of the Covenant
Video: The God of the Covenant
This video disputes the Trinitarian false doctrine of three Gods and helps describe why the covenant relationship is so important in Deliverance. Mostly, I want to convey the fact that without belonging to God (via covenant commitment) you cannot expect to hear God speak. But you do need to know who God is in order to be in covenant relationship with Him.

Why Expose False Doctrines

To Get You Where You’re Going …
My children bought me a new laptop computer for Christmas. Seems like it was just in time because my desktop computer keeps shutting down right in the middle of things. I’ve tried everything to solve the problems with it but it has come to the end of life thanks to the Windows 11 upgrade not being compatible.
Early this morning, I was once again trying to analyze, optimize, defragment, and debug the computer. While waiting for the processing, I remembered that I had a soda in the refrigerator. I thought to myself that I should sneak and have a sip even though soda is not appropriate for mornings. When I asked God if sneaking soda made me an addict, He said something rather profound. “At times you need different things to get you where you’re going.”
Most likely, God was pointing to the loss of my old computer and my mourning it. It’s not that I don’t want the new one, I certainly do. But me and the old computer have history. It has a comfortable keyboard and mouse that are different from the new laptop. This is kinda weird to say but it has a comfortable presence about it. I always know where to find it. I just leave it plugged in and don’t have to worry about charging it for portability (or overcharging the battery). I guess what I’m getting at is that where I’m going with God must require a more portable workstation in the form of the laptop gift. I get it. Soon, me and the laptop will have a successful working relationship (hopefully).
I’m also realizing that my 20-year-old van is still with me for the same reasons. We have a history. But “she” breaks down a lot. I have had to learn to keep my travels within a few miles of home in case there is an issue. Currently the van leaks power steering fluid, oil, and all the radiator contents through freeze plugs that aren’t easily accessible to change. Still “she” is comfortable. Much more comfortable than a car-payment and increased insurance.
Now that I’m in my later years of life, I’m seeing that many of my systems are not currently compatible either. Like my old van, I’m not easily up for the challenges of the long road ahead. The most burdensome thing about making the new teaching videos has been getting comfortable with all the technology changes. Let me name a few things that I have had to manage in this process. First, I needed to have a camera/phone that I can navigate for recording the videos. (My daughter gave me an unused phone of hers, but it has different screen commands than mine). Then, I purchased sound equipment: lapel microphones and receiver, and learned how to manage them. Lighting is next. In addition, I must also manage a YouTube channel, a website, and know how to post the videos on social media sites. Did I mention that I’m 63 years old? I was around when memory typewriters were the newest technology. When I was in my 20s, working at McDonnell Douglas, I helped manage a videoconferencing room. Cell phones were not a thing.
Thankfully, my daughter is conveniently nearby and helps me when I cry out in frustration. I accidently deleted the first video that I recently made and had to upload it again and change all the URL codes after I had already posted everything to the social media sites. Maybe me, my old computer, and my old van should all retire and leave all this to the newer models?
Please know that I’m trying to fulfill my full purpose even if it doesn’t always look pretty. If God wasn’t telling me to do this, I would likely sit this out and allow the more trendy ones to set the pace, but then there would be one less person trying to rid the churches of false doctrine. That’s not acceptable! Please be patient with me and occasionally give me a “like” for encouragement.
A Cheerful Giver?
I made the mistake of asking …
So, I asked God what He wanted as a Christmas gift from me to Him. I expected Him to say that my love and admiration were all the gift He needed. But, instead God said that He wants me to create my first video in this new season describing who He is.
Oh I wanted the first one to be an easy introduction, and maybe even kinda cute, about why knowing true doctrine is important. After much conversation with Him, the first one is going to be very deep theology made simple. I have a headache!
Well since I asked, now I must deliver. So in the next few days, maybe not in time for Christmas, I hope to record the first doctrinal video. I’m praying that God equips me to handle the technology issues. I just received the new mini wireless microphones and haven’t even taken the time to read the instructions or charge them yet. The lighting that I ordered wasn’t quite what I expected. So we’ll see how this first one takes off. Did I mention that I’m having computer issues? Listen, I expected that if God really wanted this gift, He could make it a little easier to deliver. (Don’t tell on me for shaking my head and rolling my eyes.)
My love language is actually gift giving but I’m feeling a little reluctant with this one. Every time that I say that “I can’t do it”, God says that I can. I guess vacation time is OVER! All this and putting together the False and Repulsive Theologies (FART) Awards for the false teachers by the end of the year. Whatever God wants …
Seasonal Finish Line
For some, this time of year is met with too many obligations, too much financial stress, and an unwelcome busyness. For others, it’s a time of feeling abandoned, left out, and alone.
It’s sad that what should be a joyous time can often be overshadowed by grief and discontent fueled by frustration of not measuring up to expectations.
I don’t have the answers and maybe I’m just writing this post to hear my own analysis, so please bear with me. It’s 3:00 am and I’m worried that I’m not doing enough to help others. I know a widow who lost her husband earlier this year. I’m wondering if she’s feeling alone and forsaken. I’m worried that my adult children are feeling pressure to do too much between decorating, entertaining, gift buying, etc. And, I’m worried that I’m not doing enough in an effort to not be in the way or to exaggerate the mayhem.
Perhaps, we are all just pushing through it to get to the other side not realizing that these are the times when memories are made. For myself, I propose finding some solace in walking in the park or spending time alone with God at the river’s edge for peace. Worship heals me. I’m reminded that the important things towards true contentment aren’t wrapped up in events or ribbons but in the smiles and laughter of those we love.
For these next few days towards the finish line, I’m asking God to keep me available for those who are hurting and to give me His eyes to see who needs a kind word of encouragement (even if I’m the one in need). I always want to be led by God to nurture others while being careful not to overstep invisible boundaries or privacy. I hope I’ve been clear that I’m available to teach others to hear God’s voice so that He can strategically walk with them through the hard times and loneliness better than any human agent.
Soon all the glitz and glamour of the season will settle down and we’ll meet to celebrate a new year of new possibilities. We’ll be more mature, more trained, more aware, and ready to step forward like never before.
Merry Christmas beloved.
A Remembered Scripture?
It’s been several months ago since I had a specific dream about wearing pearls.
In the dream I was lounging on a couch, laughing about fun mischief going on in the room. In the dream, I could see myself enjoying the comical relief. But I also could clearly focus in on myself wearing a pearl necklace and pearl earrings. When I awoke from that dream, the Lord made it a point of sending me to buy a pearl necklace. The pearl necklace was symbolic and there was no point to spending a lot of money to purchase it. I went to Beall’s and bought a $14 necklace and matching earrings for under $10.
I remember that the first time that I wore the pearl jewelry was when I was visiting a new church. Even the name of that church should have been an obvious clue to me, but I didn’t get it right away.
Fast forward to my birthday this month, when my best friend gave me a pearl bracelet as a gift. She wasn’t aware of the dream or of my earlier purchase of the necklace and earrings. It’s as if God were secretly planning all of this out to reveal something to me. And I think He was.
This morning, I was talking with God while still laying in bed. We were discussing the false doctrines in the church … yes, again. I was sharing with God my reluctance to keep trying to get through to the pastors who refused to hear a word from me. God said that while one particular pastor absolutely had no heart for God, the others did have a heart for God. And, yes, they were clearly teaching wrong doctrine, but it did not stem from a wrong heart. Then …
I heard a Scripture in the distance as if it were a memory being recalled. This is the text:
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (Matthew 7:6 NIV)
In an instant, I understood the reason that God wanted me to have the pearls jewelry. He wanted me to remember that as His Apostle & Prophet that I have pearls of wisdom that have been “bought” at a great price through much sacrifice. He doesn’t want me wasting my time on fools who have no heart for God, but to spend my time helping those who really do love God despite their wrong theology.
I get it! And I think the new watch (bought with a birthday gift-card) has implications too.
Upcoming Apologetics Video Podcast
Well, I have a few more pieces of the puzzle for the upcoming video podcasts planned for 2026.
The series will be “Voice of Truth”, Christian Apologetics (more specifically Protestant Christian doctrinal study). Technically Catholicism and Mormonism are under the Christian category but are very different from Protestant Christianity. The Catholics have a different (expanded books) Bible and they pray to Mary and saints among other things. The Mormons have “The Book of Mormon” and many varied differences from Protestant Christianity.
Listen, Protestant Christianity is a mess too with plenty of doctrines to discuss. Here are some of the denominations that fall under the category of Protestant Christianity:
Methodist
Baptist/Southern Baptist
Assemblies of God
Church of God
Pentecostal/Apostolic
Presbyterian
Episcopal
Lutheran
Anabaptist
Anglican
Quaker
Seventh Day Adventist
Congregational (governs independently)
Non-Denominational (Church of Christ, Christian, Calvary Chapel)
All of the denominations INTERPRET the Bible differently in many doctrinal stances. Protestant Christianity has many different translations of the Bible to choose from. To name a few: New International Version, King James Version, Holman Christian Apologetics, New American Standard, The Message, New King James, and many more. Even with the same foundational material at the core of each translation, the Bible is interpreted very differently by the various denominations on key doctrinal subjects. They can’t even agree on what translation of the Bible to use. Seriously?
Some denominations believe that there is only one God while others believe in a trinity of Gods that has a Son God sitting next to a Father God on thrones in Heaven.
Some denominations believe that women are anointed by God to be pastors and leaders in the church while others relegate women to minimal authority and silence in the church.
Some denominations prohibit musical instruments in worship and others believe that baptism is a requirement for salvation. The doctrinal differences are astounding especially since every Christian should hear God’s voice in prayer and know very specifically true doctrine by learning it from Him.
The video podcast will feature real-time words from God as I ask Him questions and He answers through my voice (just like the process of speaking in tongues except in my native language). God speaks every language and can speak through us when we are intentionally yielded to Him. Believe it or don’t believe it. It doesn’t matter to me because YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. I’m just showing you the process. I’m not responsible for what you believe.
I used the word real-time in that last paragraph but I should say that the videos will be recorded and uploaded rather than live-streamed. This is necessary because I have limited accommodations, no staff, and potential for many interruptions. I live near a train track, rocket launches from the space center, and the noise from the air conditioner makes it difficult to manage the sound fluctuations. I live in a little camper that has little to no sound dampening. Some of the specifics I’m still figuring out.
In an effort to make this as easy as possible on me, while still being obedient to God to make the videos, I will likely limit any teaching graphics or screen animations. It will probably just be my old-lady face on the screen talking to “you” as a sister in Christ. In truth, the videos that I worked the hardest on to provide teaching graphics have been the least viewed videos while the ones that I made early on with me just talking to my phone screen have surprising numbers of views all across the world. So that’s what I’m going back to all these years later.
God and I had a staff meeting together over breakfast this morning and He gave me notes for the first couple of videos. My hesitation to make these videos had nothing to do with confidence in discussing the material. The reluctance comes from wanting to invest the time and energy to speak to those who are too stubborn to listen. Every religion on the planet thinks that their religion is the correct religion despite that they haven’t bothered to personally ask God and hear from Him. My hope above all else is to get people asking God about doctrine. We’ll see.
Contently Remaining Vigilant
God seems to waver between wanting me to be highly confident and wanting me to be extremely meek. Those levels of humility may have little to do with my obedience and more to do with individual assignments.
Mighty warrior me has to be reduced down to her meekest levels when there is a direction shift in the battle plan. God can accomplish that by putting me in situations that have factors beyond my usual control and most abruptly in the form of digestive issues causing sudden anxiety. Yes, I have food allergies and intolerances that appear to be divinely appointed. Not having control of my own body takes me quickly into my most vulnerable position as suddenly as a flip of a switch. I’m thankful that only He has sovereignty over the on/off button. I trust God to immediately tame me before I (figuratively) cut the ear off of a Roman Centurion and to equally strengthen me before the rooster crows.
It’s during those less-than-victorious or remediating times that I want to be taken from active duty and allow others to fight the battles. I hate being weak and needy. I cannot camp out there long without feeling utterly defeated. But, God knows better than I do the version of me needed during any given mission. Whether I’m equipped for meekness or boldness, He arms me precisely for the road ahead. In this I must be content while remaining vigilant. Even Superman had to deal with Kryptonite. What’s your area of weakness that takes you out of the thick of battle and prompts others to step up in your place?
At times the strong leader must be held back so that others can step forward into their divine anointing. Understanding that perspective adds value to the sudden vulnerability, but shifting positions is difficult still. Reduced traction is sometimes for the purpose of holding us in place but also for priming us for an upcoming victory race. It isn’t intended to harm us. Instead it can harness our giftings and allow others to excel.
