Hello NP Every human being hears a voice and follows it, no matter what they call it. Also, every human being is messiah-ed (anointed) for a specific purpose and work. All a man can do is to heed that inner voice and do that anointed work. As far as Michael's Messiah-ship, you can explore the depths of it here. May all of you be true to your True Self for there is no other God besides Him.

Excuse me? Why would you care?

Truly, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

To you, it sounds patronizing. That is not the attitude/spirit in which I said it. You will just have to take my word for it. Semantics is a tricky science at best and especially because we come from two different worlds. This truth that we at strongcity are proclaiming is not humanly friendly, if you will. The message is that the world of men, as it has been experienced for millenia, is over. Self-interested human living has been overcome. Only God will have a kingdom now. This is not good news to the human ego. Nevertheless, we are compelled to speak what we have seen and heard and experienced ourselves. It's like having to pronounce a death sentence on the entire population of the earth and being responsible for it. The weight of this kind of message is not without its personal excruciations in the carrying out of our commission. This message is likened to a trumpet sounding its blast. That trumpet ushered in the Jubilee. It's reverberations are going out throughout the entire earth. That trumpet began to sound on the October 31st date that was deliberately misconstrued in the End Of The World Cult movie. What the trumpet is actually saying is that everyone is set free. Set free from human domination and control, no matter how benevolent a man might try to make it appear. This proclamation includes forgiveness for everything a man has done against his Maker (remission of sins), obliteration of all debt, cancellation of contracts and everyone returning to their patrimony. The literal as well as the spiritual implications are enormous. It is the end of the world but not as Hollywood and falsehood have portrayed it. The human ego is offended by this divine proclamation. That is because it spells out the demise of that human self. If a soul identifies themselves with that ego, they will be offended at the message as well as the messenger. Again I say to you, snowychap, as well as all who see as you do, we are not special or different or better than anyone. We have a commission and cannot keep from it. Everyone who reads what we are saying judges themselves by what is already in their heart. It's just the way life works. One can only view another through the glasses of their own context of life. This is the time for revealing all things. Everyone reveals who they are by how they respond to God's message. The Son of God came down from heaven for this purpose. It is the time when everyone will bow the knee.

Well, Snowychap, what is it to me if God chose an arabic name for me? Like, what's the big deal? I'm not stuck in any kind of ethnic box or superstitious hesitation about using something because it's "supposed to" belong to another group. That seems weird to me. And, as to the "elite christian group", if you are referring to strong city, I can say that, yes, we were chosen to play a specific part in the celestial drama but not because we are "elite". Father chose us because we were the worst off. We needed the most help in coming to the reality of the Christ Life. We were chosen, yes, but not for the reason you imply. As for the number of times a new name will be given, how could I possibly know that? I have received a few already and there may be more, depending upon my experience. Think of it this way. I see that your name on this forum is Snowychap. I assume that is not your birth name. It is also very likely that you have numerous other names that identify you to other people depending on your relationship to them, nicknames and the like. How many more new names will you receive? How could you know? The new name that Father gives is not like those earth names but I thought the illustration might help you understand.

I'm still not sure what your problem or your question is. God gave me a new name and I received it.

Although you are not a Bible man, there is a promise in there, repeated a number of times and in different places, that each of His children would receive a new name. The new name is not about just changing the letters that identify a person but reflect a profound and fundamental change in the person's character. Here are but two of the places where He says it: And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Isaiah 62:2 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Revelation 2:17 Over the years, and at specific times, I have been given a few different names. Beautiful Ashes is one that came after a prolonged period of personal suffering. Father was speaking of the beauty that results from holy fire and was ascribing that to me. "Hanifa" is one of those new names. At a time when I felt as low (discouraged) as a soul can get, Father spoke it into me, somewhat like He spoke Messiah into Wayne (which is much of what this thread 's premise is based on). I did not know what the name meant initially but after I found out and although I did not "feel" like a "true believer", Father was gifting it to me and I received it. I was no longer who I had been in identity or character and He, Himself, told me who I had become. It all sounds very mysterious, I presume, to those who do not know Him but such is the case when trying to communicate with others while coming from different planets with different languages.

If you don't mind, perhaps you could post your question again for carity's sake.

Hanifa means true believer. Is that odd?

Good point. Thanks for the reminder. :winkold:

Trinity_Tom and beth have been communicating in between all the foolishness. The reply to which you refer is her response to a post by him two pages back.

That is not true, funumtch. You just had an expectation of how it was supposed to be, likely from early indoctrination in a man-made religion. Also, Father is not a blabber mouth like most people. The fall is always about a choice. Father respects every individual entirely. He respects every heart enough to allow them to choose their own destruction, if they will, albeit, not without many and protracted warnings. People hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest. Yes, the end of all things will come because people have willingly and knowingly rejected God's way. He tried to warn you.....

You either love God all the way, or you do not love Him at all.

You ask this from the context of your own humanity. That is somewhat like a child trying to carry his father's toolbox when the father is a steam fitter or truck mechanic. It's literally impossible. God only asks that we let Him be God. Since "God is love", all He does is in and for love's sake. Human minds cannot comprehend this love because all it knows is the self-centered, sentimental variety that only uses another individual for satisfying its own needs. God's instructions are always purposed to benefit all. Although one may not understand why they are being instructed to do a certain thing, performing that instruction will yield it's own understanding, as well as reward, after it is completed. NOT doing the instruction may very well leave the individual not only disappointed but broken and insane. What is "ok" about God's instructions is trusting that He knows what He is doing. Michael has not committed any crime of morality or legality. Most of the accusations against him are the conjured up perverted imaginations of those who indulge themselves to the hurt of others. The "regardless of the consequences" part is the test of a man's integrity and faith. Will he follow his instructions, even unto death, (maybe literally, always figuratively) and be faithful or will he compromise in someway so that he can preserve his life? The true test of a man is made manifest in his decision to "go all the way" with God or remain frigidly apart from the Lover of his soul.

He's not that sort of Messiah. He's not here to sort out world economics/politics or to combat evil or eradicate diseases. He's here to live like on a what looks like a trailer park on a remote piece of desert and hook up with a few chicks while the rest of us spiral down into oblivion. You know not of what you speak. The work of a true believer, be he Messiah or street sweeper or anything in between, is to hear the Voice of God and follow His instructions to them, regardless of the consequences. Do you?
