The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4). 

 

On July 21, 2024, Pharisee Claude Houde of Nouvellevie Church delivered a sermon titled "Increasing and Safeguarding Our Faith" at Times Square Church. While he referenced numerous scriptures, he omitted practical steps for enhancing faith and instead sought to provoke faith by instilling fear in the audience.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

How, then, do we biblically strengthen and safeguard our faith, Pharisee?

 

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

 

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

The wicked fall into their own nets (Psalms 141:10). For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them (Ecclesiastes 9:12).

The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted (Proverbs 10:24).

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).

 

Today, we continue from where we left off with a question for Pharisee Houde: How can we biblically strengthen our faith? In following the methods of preacher Rajabian, the Pharisees posed their own question instead.

On July 28, 2024, Pharisee Tim Dilena delivered a sermon lasting around an hour and 20 minutes on "The Power of God’s Presence in the Fire of Adversity." In his attempt to replicate the teachings and approach of preacher Karen Rajabian, Dilena fell short, failing to address the topic accurately without Rajabian’s prior insights.

"Last week, the Pharisees observed Karen worshipping at home and singing along to a Spanish song titled 'Si Tu Presencia Conmigo No Va,' which translates to 'If Your Presence Does Not Go With Me.' This song is inspired by Moses' conversation with God, where Moses says, 'If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here' (Exodus 33:15)." This is where Pharisee Dilena got the title for his sermon.

When Pharisee Dilena asked, "How do you know when God’s presence is with you?" he answered God’s presence is evident when you walk in agreement with Him.

That is wrong because many people agree with God and His Word but sin against Him at the same time. While this happens, many Scriptures support the idea that genuine alignment involves more than mere agreement.

The lengthy sermon he preached, filled with numerous Scripture references, seemed more focused on winning favor with the audience through its loud delivery than on providing substantive teaching. In contrast, Professor Rajabian's teachings highlight the importance of quality over quantity, emphasizing that walking with God means walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-17; Romans 8:4). This entails adopting a Godly lifestyle and bearing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

God is omnipresent, meaning His presence is felt everywhere in the world. However, the concept of God's presence being specifically manifested is distinct and can be contentious. In another attempt to replicate the teachings, sayings and approach of Professor Karen Rajabian, "The Manifestation of God's Presence" proposed by her could soon or later potentially become a new focus for the Pharisees to incorporate into their discussions and teachings.

The Pharisees have gained valuable insights from Professor Rajabian’s teachings for their sermons. Without her writings and teachings, their messages fall short. We know it.

Despite the warnings given to them to stop their crimes against Karen Rajabian, the Pharisees' persistent actions against their Commander-in-Chief-elect, Rajabian, were interpreted as calls for their execution. Today, Pharisee Dilena shared a dream with the church, which we interpret as reflecting his anxiety about facing retribution for his actions against her and his fear of impending punishment.

On August 4, 2024, Gary Wilkerson addressed a new question from the Pharisees, shifting the focus of his preaching from “How Do You Know If You’re Loved?” Today, we answer his question.

Wilkerson reflected on the challenge Pharisees encounter when preaching indirectly criticizing Karen, noting that they often lie and exaggerate about her. He told the story of an alcoholic woman whose struggles with her habits led to issues in various relationships, leaving her feeling unloved even within the church. Pharisee Wilkerson implied that this was Karen’s experience and that she needed to attach herself to Jesus and nurture connections with other Christians. However, this is not Karen’s story. She didn't need assistance from an Alcoholics Anonymous group to overcome her bad habits or alcoholism, nor did she seek acceptance or love from the church members.

We love God because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). As it is written: God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16-17). Although the Holy Bible makes it clear, Pharisee Wilkerson spoke about the unconditional love of God offeres to her and to everyone. Our love for God must always be unconditional, but God’s love for us is conditioned upon our obedience because He does not take lightly that to make possible the remission of the sins of the people of the world, He sacrificed Jesus on the cross for us. The redemption of our sins by Jesus is of great significance to God.

God calls us to Him through Jesus, not because we are saints, but because He wants to make us holy like Him. We are all sinners with a long list of sins and our own true history to tell of who we are with and without God. There is no shame in who we were without God if what matters to the Lord is who we are in Him, not who we were without Him. When God called Karen to serve Him and gave her eternal life in Jesus Christ, it was He who delivered her from all her bad habits. As Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

God’s arms are wide open to all of us, including sinners, as we come to Him through Jesus. Karen was obedient to God, not only coming to Him but also dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty, who is Love (1 John 4:16).

Jesus set the standard of the law of love just before his death, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:34-35).

Watch Sermon

On June 23, 2024, continuing from where we left off last week, the controversial figure Carter Colon delivered a sermon titled 'The Middle of Your Story is Not the End.' He compared the story of King David to Karen's, using various Bible citations, including passages from Psalms, to describe what he claimed was the 'middle' of David’s story before he became king of Israel, and how it relates to Karen’s situation before she rises to power in modern Canaan. However, this interpretation is flawed.

Not all the Psalms were written by King David before he became king. Additionally, he quoted biblical prophetic Psalms verses about Jesus: For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: “I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to you” (Hebrews 2:11-12).

If there is a story worth comparing, it is the story of Abraham and Karen. No one could overlook preaching about it.

As the Pharisees learn from Preacher Rajabian through her blog, her household, and other sources, they continued to exalt themselves by preaching her sayings, writings, and teachings. On August 18, 2024, they meticulously used her words, expressions, writings, and every detail to present her material as their own, in an effort to impress the church community.

In Part 11 of this series, released on June 30, 2024, we reported that, in addition to the Pharisees, affluent individuals have been conveying messages to Karen through live broadcasts. They mistakenly think their wealth makes them superior to her, and to this day, they have neither apologized nor shown any remorse for their lies and misjudgments.

On July 14, 2024, in Part 11 of the series, Pharisee Tim Dilena addressed the issue of apologies we’ve previously discussed. He said that wealthy individuals who have offended and underestimated Karen during live broadcasts should genuinely repent and apologize if they truly understand the importance of the Holy Spirit’s work.

Also, on August 4, 2024, we explored the concept of unconditional love from God versus God's conditional love for us, which depends on our obedience. In Isaiah 41:8 God speaks to Israel, calling them “descendants of Abraham My friend.” Abraham’s friendship with God is also mentioned by King Jehoshaphat in (2 Chronicles 20:7). Thus, Abraham was accorded the high honor of being called a “friend of God.” Literally, Isaiah 41:8 could be translated as “Abraham, who loves Me.”

A friendship between God and Abraham as well as Karen is a close and reciprocal relationship between two people who share a bond of mutual love because a friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17).

Today, Pharisee Dilena emulated her teachings and presented a sermon titled “The Horrific Thought of Losing God’s Voice and Being Left with Only My Own.” Referencing Joshua chapters 7 and 8, he discussed the importance of love and obedience to God, suggesting that Karen faces consequences due to her disobedience and needs to seek God’s guidance, as sin derails her future and mutes God’s voice. However, God’s perspective on Karen is different. He focuses on who she is in Him, not on her past without Him. Preacher Rajabian emphasizes that God values who she is in Him rather than her previous sins as God said about Abraham, “He obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws” (Genesis 26:5). Both Abraham and Karen posssess a strong spiritual profile.

Certainly, in the eyes of the Lord, Karen holds a unique spiritual significance that the Pharisees refuse to acknowledge or accept.
