Watch Sermon

On September 15, 2024, during the Pharisees' sermon on "Possibly Forfeiting the Greatest Miracle of Your Life," speaker Dilena, while pretending to be a worshipper of God, mimicked the worship style of Karen Rajabian. This included repetitive phrases like "Lord, I love You" and "Lord, I praise You" which she often expresses to God during worship. He seemed frustrated and proceeded to demand that Commander Rajabian shut her mouth and get to the point of what they wanted to know from her about their fate at her hand.

Dilena referenced (Joshua 10:8-15), (Joshua 10:6-8), (Joshua 9:14), and (2 Samuel 21:1-3) to convey that the Sodomites, Pharisees, and Canaanites fear execution at the hands of their Commander-in-Chief Rajabian. Once again, they were attempting to negotiate a deal with her to avoid harm on both sides.

He emphasized that Karen should honor her commitments, illustrating that a miracle in her battle against them might come not only through prayer but also through fulfilling her promise of deliverance, as noted in our post from September 1, 2024. This could align with Joshua's battle for the Gibeonites, during which God made the sun stand still.

If Commander Rajabian accepts the deal, they will apologize for all the evil they have inflicted and agree not to attack her when she returns to Times Square Church. This would allow her to stand and preach freely, avoiding harassment and harm, while they evade execution.

It is crucial to remember that for the past 19 years, Commander Rajabian has been contending with modern-day Sodomites, Pharisees, and Canaanites—wicked individuals lacking knowledge and understanding of God's word, who do not believe in Him or comprehend the concept of divine deliverance. They are bullies and warmongers, fearing the consequences of their actions. They seek to benefit from her while demanding that Commander Rajabian "shut up and get to the point," expecting her to comply and reveal what God has told her about them, including whether she will execute them.

How many times in our previous posts have we stated that the Pharisees, Sodomites, and Canaanites are not contending with Joshua, David, or Samuel, but with contemporary Abraham? Everything is recorded in the Bible, and we have stated this repeatedly. Commander Rajabian is not interested in negotiating deals with them. The Abrahams do not enter into agreements for self-benefit but rather for the good of others. When the king of Sodom asked Abram for the people, Abram refused, stating, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, that I will take nothing... lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’” — except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion (Genesis 14:21-24).

By delivering a complete recorded video via UPS within four weeks, confessing all the lies they have spoken of her and all the evil done against her since 2005, and the reasons why. As well as apologizing for their actions, they could help themselves. And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand” (Genesis 14:17-20).

In previous posts, we have discussed how God has consistently delivered the Israelites' enemies into their hands, beginning with Abraham, the Hebrew (Genesis 14:15), and extending to his descendants. God's oath of deliverance, sworn to Abraham, promises that we, being delivered from our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness (Luke 1:73-75). All of this is written down. 

Regardless of the understanding of the Sodomites, Pharisees, and Canaanites on divine deliverance, Commander Rajabian is not concerned about any physical threat they may pose to her. Their battle, opposition, and struggle against her are futile. She believes it would be smarter for them to focus on themselves by either aligning with her to benefit from her position of power and wait to see what she can do for them or choose not to act at all. 

Besides, there is no doubt that God is with the Abrahams in all that they do (Genesis 21:22). 

 

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).

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                               On September 22, 2024, the self-proclaimed wise Carter Colon, known for his corrupt behavior, delivered a sermon titled “Are You Wise?” He referenced some of our previous discussions on wisdom, implying that he was questioning preacher Rajabian's wisdom and ability to lead and judge the people she rules over. He spoke about her decision regarding their fate, suggesting that she lacks the wisdom to forgive her enemies, despite her passion for justice.

Colon made it clear to Commander Rajabian that he wanted to avoid confessing his guilt on video regarding the criminal activities he had committed against her. This is misguided; both he, the criminal, and the Commander, the victim, are aware of the crimes he has committed against her, which have led many to side with him in his wrongdoing and are more than sufficient to hold him accountable. A confession can come later.

God’s rule over the universe is grounded in justice and righteousness (Psalm 89:14). The intoxicated voices of the prophets of old who spoke to the rulers of Israel on His behalf often said to them: “Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never- failing stream!” (Amos 5:24). Almighty God loves justice and expect that he who rules over His people, do so in justice and righteousness. The King’s strength also loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Psalms 99:4).

Can a fool truly assess someone else's wisdom and teach others how to be wise?

Today, in an attempt to manipulate Commander Rajabian into meeting their expectations, Pharisee Colon also raised the issue of the videos and images he possesses of her, harassing her and threatening to display them before her sermon at Times Square Church. His goal was to coerce her into granting his demands, but she has consistently dismissed his threats. She feels no obligation to share her thoughts or speculate on the Lord’s plans or her own.

In our series, we report weekly on the ongoing work of God at Times Square Church, highlighting some of the responses of the Sodomites, Pharisees, and Canaanites as they await divine justice. We share these insights with our readers, including the messages conveyed through sermons to Commander-in-Chief Rajabian and their efforts to engage her in discussions about God and their fate. However, we do not use this platform as a means of communication with them. She has made it repeatedly clear, that she isn’t interested in getting into agreements or contracts with her enemies.

She doesn’t lie. When Commander Rajabian addresses any issue, especially related to modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, we firmly maintain our belief in her and Abraham, despite the accusations against Abraham. Although he is often labeled a liar, that label doesn’t hold true. Many preachers reference Genesis 20:2 to misrepresent him: Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “she is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

However, Abraham did not lie. When he and Sarah moved to Gerar, where Abimelech ruled over the Philistines, Abimelech desired Sarah as his wife. To protect his life, Abraham told Abimelech that his wife Sarah was his sister, believing the Philistines had no reverence for God. Yet, God intervened by warning Abimelech in a dream, revealing that Sarah was Abraham's wife and that Abraham was a prophet. God instructed Abimelech to treat Abraham kindly and return Sarah to him. We read: And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, “Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also? Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.” And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.” So Abimelech rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were very much afraid. And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.” Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?” And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife. But indeed she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, say of me, “He is my brother” (Genesis 20:1-13).

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).

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).

 

Recently, we shared the association between Times Square Church (Sodom) and The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International (Gomorrah), focusing on how Maria Luisa Piraquive, the leader, and the church’s pastors are responding to the ongoing work of God as we await their reception of the Lord and His servant, Commander Rajabian, who has a message from God for the church.

After she resumed visitation to the church, Preacher Rajabian continued to visit, having last attended on Sunday, September 22, 2024. During that visit, the pastor preached about trusting God amid life's battles, which reflects her own experience against the Sodomites, Pharisees, and Canaanites. The church seems to be trying to justify its failure to work with her in unity, contrary to Scripture, which reminds us that the things written before are for our learning. For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God (Romans 15:4-6).

Their divisiveness, refusal, and disobedience to welcome the Lord and His servants, like preacher Rajabian, echo the behavior of the Pharisees, as we've previously noted. Jesus said, “You are those who justify yourself before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God (Luke 16:15). He also warned that many would reject Him while accepting others who come in their own name. l have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive (John 5:43). For l say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Matthew 23:39).

Stay tuned to see how this unfold.

 

 

On September 29, 2024, the Pharisees delivered a sermon titled “I Had to See It to Believe It.” Knowing that Karen watches their sermons, they continued to send her covert messages. During this sermon, Pharisee Dilena referenced Scripture about King David's feelings toward his enemies implying that Karen might share similar sentiments about the Sodomites and Pharisees. However not all the context didn't quite align with the sermon’s title, he conveyed three main points: First, he expressed disbelief when he was told that Karen had discovered they were spying on her through her smart TV, claiming he needed to see it to believe it. Second, he hinted at plans for a physical confrontation with her when she returns to Times Square Church to take possession of that property. Third, he mentioned ongoing preparations to break into her home again.

Our Commander-in-Chief elect, Rajabian, is currently facing a time of war. In Genesis 14:1-24, and Genesis 15:1, Abraham engages in battle against the rulers of nations and the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. During this conflict, Abraham didn’t extend gestures of goodwill to his enemies; instead, armed to his teeth, he protected people and defended his interests with resolve and strength. The most beautiful aspect is that he didn’t fight alone—he had an army at his disposal and God was with him, providing protection and granting him victory (Genesis 15:1).

In the life of Commander Rajabian, everything unfolds in alignment with the Scripture, and in faith we stand in unity with that purpose.

To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:                                                                                               A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace (Ecclesiastes 3:8).

Although the Sodomites may try to undermine our Commander, they will ultimately fail in their efforts. Visually snooping on her in the privacy of her home is a thing of the past.

                       Spanish Sermon Translated into English

The deceptive actions of the Pharisees sent distorted messages to The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International, mixing truths with exaggerations and lies about preacher Rajabian’s life and the Lord's work in the church, didn't benefit the church spiritually.

The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International (Gomorrah), a predominantly Colombian congregation led by apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive, positions itself as a powerful Spanish-speaking church focused on healing and prophecy. However, its behavior resembles the practices of ancient Gomorrah and the Pharisees described in the Bible, as well as those of the contemporary Pharisees at Times Square Church.

For the past 17 years, preacher Rajabian has had a message to deliver on behalf of the Lord to The Church of God Ministerial of Jesus Christ International. In obedience to God, she comes to the church, primarily around New York State. However, rather than welcoming her and allowing her to share the Lord’s message—commands supported by Romans 15:4-6, John 5:43, and Matthew 23:39—apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive has been conveying messages to her and the congregation since learning of preacher Rajabian’s return to the church after eight-years absence. Piraquive has articulated her justification clearly, placing blame on Karen for her unwillingness to receive and accept the Lord’s message. This reaction mirrors the religious practices and behavior of the Pharisees.

Preacher Rajabian had left The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International after nine years of congregating there. Her departure was promoted by the persecution within the church, harassment, and disdain she faced from Pharisee Juan Carlos Arismendi and others who primarily spoke through sermons on behalf of Maria Luisa Piraquive. The behavior and religious practices of those blocks made Preacher Rajabian stumble in her walk with God. 

In the Bible, stumbling blocks are obstacles that prevent a Christian person such as Karen from growing or advancing in her spiritual life, which also prevents her from having a church communion with God. The Bible discusses stumbling blocks in Romans 14:13 and Matthew 16:23.

The stumbling blocks continue blocking preacher Rajabian’s way. Today, Piraquive cited Matthew 5:1-48 to preach, implying that under her leadership, the church has not allowed Rajabian to preach God’s message because she fails to meet "her requirements."  Piraquive places the blame on Preacher Rajabian, but she views this as a justification for failing to obey the word of the Lord, which commands His church to work in unity. God did not set requirements for the church to work in unity.

Two significant biblical passages regarding the unity of the church are Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12. In Ephesians 4, God calls individuals to different offices within the church, and understanding the distinct roles of leaders is crucial for the church’s growth and unity. First Corinthians 12 emphasizes the diverse gifts represented among church members and teaches that no one may say to another, “I do not need you.” Together, these passages lay the foundation for a richer understanding of "unity in diversity" within the church’s identity.

Divisiveness within the church is not a spiritual act but a carnal one, contrary to the teachings of the Lord. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 

Nor receiving the Lord and His servants is a typical behavior of the Pharisees. l have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive (John 5:43). For l say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Matthew 23:39). Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God (Romans 15:4-6).

The issue of Abraham being a sinner cannot be used as justification to refuse working in unity with Karen. Abraham was a good sinner (Ecclesiastes 7:10), a man who God foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified (Romans 8:29-30), just as Karen is someone God has brought from glory to glory, conforming to the image of Jesus Christ to serve (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Who can bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies (Romans 8:33).

God alone knows the reasons behind our actions, whether we sin or not. God understands who we were without Him in the past and who we are in Him now. It is Him Who justifies. For instance, Jesus called twelve sinners to be His disciples, He justified their sins and placed them in ministry. These twelve walked with Him, learned from Him, and taught the revelations of Scripture as they experienced transformation, being brought from glory to glory in the image of the Lord.

Jesus exemplified unity with His disciples, even praying for us to remain ONE in harmony, just as He and the Father are ONE (John 17:6-11). Despite this and all that is conveyed in Scripture, Sodom and Gomorrah seem unwilling to listen to the Lord’s teachings on unity.

This is why preacher Rajabian finds Piraquive's self-justification regarding unity within the Church of God unacceptable, especially in light of the Lord’s promise of blessings to Abraham in the church, which she also seems to oppose. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20).

It is ironic that preacher Rajabian learned from Maria Luisa Piraquive herself that she does not believe in the unity of the Church. Instead, she believes in the messages the Pharisees conveyed to the church about God’s judgment on Gomorrah, asserting that this will lead to changes aimed at unifying the Church of God worldwide—a promise she says, God made to her?

Gomorrah is undergoing the judgment of the Lord, and preacher Rajabian has been doing her job in preparing the way of the Lord (Luke 3:1-18). The sermon Piraquive preached today revealed her anger toward preacher Rajabian for exposing the true spiritual state of the church, reflecting the shame she feels about God’s work through Karen, which the church has been avoiding for the last 17 years.

Our writings in this series about modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah are not personal; Karen is not retaliating or seeking revenge against anyone for receiving the message of God. It is all about Jesus and what He is doing in The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International (Gomorrah) and Times Square Church (Sodom).

Prepare the way of the Lord" is the message John the Baptist preached to the religious and political establishment of his day. This same message has been given by our Lord Jesus to Karen to preach to the world. As she does, every mountain and hill is being brought low—the mountains and hills being the religious leaders like the Pharisees, government officials, politicians, the rich, and the proud. The pride of the people is being humbled, ending in shame and humiliation (Luke 14:11). The lofty looks, the outward manifestations of the hearts of the proud, are being exposed (Isaiah 2:11, 12, 14, 17). The crooked places are being made straight, and the rough ways are being smoothed. All acts of sinful nature (Galatians 5:19-21) and the thoughts of many hearts are being revealed (Luke 2:34-35), while all hidden things kept secret by the people and all obstructions blocking the way of God are coming to light (Mark 4:24, Isaiah 57:14).

In Genesis 13:1-18 and Genesis 18:1-33, there are hints about the wicked nature of Sodom and Gomorrah. When God addressed His decision initially, He said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know (Genesis 18:20-21).

Gomorrah and the neighboring cities were guilty of the same grave sins as Sodom. Consequently, God's judgment led to their destruction by fire as punishment for their wickedness and lack of repentance, to stop their evil from spreading (Genesis 19:1-29).

The Sodomites made an agreement among themselves that whenever a stranger visited them, they would force him into sodomy and rob him of his money. “Now when the Sodomites saw the young men [the angels] to be of beautiful countenance, they resolved to enjoy these beautiful boys by force and violence" (Genesis 19:1-29). Sexual immorality is one of the reasons Sodom was destroyed (Jude 7). The gang rape of visitors night after night over many years was certainly sufficient cause for God to destroy this place. Lot’s horror was expressed over having his sacred offer of hospitality violated.

Additionally, the Sodomites engaged in (1) adultery (Jeremiah 23:14); even though the men of Sodom had developed a taste for sexual violence and male rape, they were still heterosexuals, husbands and fathers, who bore children and kept the city populated; (2) walking in lies; (3) strengthening the hands of evildoers, so that no one turned back from his wickedness (Jeremiah 23:14); (4) pride; (5) fullness of food and abundance of idleness; (6) neither did they strengthen the hand of the poor and needy (Ezekiel 16:49-50). They ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, and built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all (Luke 17:28-29). The Sodomites were vile creatures who broke the revered custom of offering hospitality, inflicting pain, torture, robbery, and possibly murder on travelers seeking shelter and safety for the night. Their focus was on sexual violence rather than caring for the poor, needy, and strangers.

In examining the Bible, one finds the name "Sodom" mentioned 26 times (18 in the Old Testament and 8 in the New Testament), across 12 Old Testament and 8 New Testament passages. Old Testament prophets and later Jews often recalled Sodom and Gomorrah as an unforgettable metaphor of human wickedness and divine punishment and they used this to declare how Israel or other nations would be (or had been) brought to utter destruction or desolation, often with lightning speed, for their evil deeds. The prophets pointed to a variety of sins, including forsaking the Lord to worship other gods (Deuteronomy 29:22-28); taunting God's people (Zephaniah 2:8-11); bloodshed, injustice, and neglect of orphans and widows (Isaiah 1:9-11,15-17); and adultery, lying, and aiding evildoers (Jeremiah 23:10-15).  One can see that some of these sins might connect with Sodom and Gomorrah.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge," says the Lord (Hosea 4:6). This occurs when they turn away from His word. Today, Sodom and Gomorrah similarly reject God's message. He has appointed Karen to preach at both The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International and Times Square Church, a situation that underscores this truth. As it is written, “Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah. Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah” (Isaiah 1:7-10). This truth is evident.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. He who keeps the commandments of God abides in Him, and He in Him (1 John 3:6, 24).

A church of God that practices sound doctrine would differ from the practices of the Pharisees and Sodomites and not only hear God’s voice talking to them but receive the Lord’s message and accept

On October 6, 2024, the Pharisees delivered a sermon titled “Hell is Advancing, The Church is Stuck, and God is Searching.” Through Tim Dilena, they stirred up violence within the church, claiming that Satan and his followers—like themselves—were actively opposing the Lord’s servants and His church. They portrayed the church as powerless, suggesting that God was searching for someone to stand in the gap. Dilena challenged Karen to come to the church and bravely confront the evil that had plotted an attack against her.

Also, Pharisee Dilena referenced biblical instances when Israel faced defeat in battles against their enemies without God's support, claiming they required someone to intervene. However, this interpretation is misleading.

The Pharisees often blend their own ideas with biblical teachings and fail to get things right. While they still apply Professor Rajabian's teaching methods, their grasp of 'standing in the gap' is flawed. This isn't a new issue. In Ezekiel 22:30-31, the Lord states, So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads.”

This passage illustrates a wall with a breach—a critical symbol of protection in ancient times. A gap in the wall would allow the enemy to enter, and defenders would need to rush to that spot to hold it. It was essential to repair any breach quickly; if left unattended, the city's defenses would collapse.

The gap signifies the impending danger facing Jerusalem as God’s wrath was poised to strike a sinful nation. He sought someone to intercede in righteousness and plead for mercy, but found no one. If even one person had been willing to “stand in the gap,” the nation’s destruction might have been averted. Instead, with no defenders to mend the breach, judgment inevitably followed.

The preaching of the wicked and failure, shows that they have not yet figured out what the oat of deliverance of the Lord is all about. God's oath of deliverance, sworn to Abraham, promises that we, being delivered from our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness (Luke 1:73-75).

God has prepared Karen as a modern-day Abraham to intervene in favor of the inhabitants of modern-day Canaanite land, just as Abraham did for the inhabitants of  Sodom and Gomorrah and their surrounding cities before the overthrow (Genesis 14:1-24 - 15:1; 19:20-33).

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).

              Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

Despite being aware of God's promise to bless Karen Rajabian and the counsel of the Lord in 2 Corinthians 1:20—which states that all of God's promises in Him are Yes and Amen for His glory—Maria Luisa Piraquive, leader of Gomorrah, addressed the congregation today, dismissing the word of the Lord. At the outset, as she preached from Matthew 6:1-34, she justified herself before the church regarding the revelations shared by Preacher Rajabian last week, which contradicted Jesus' teaching that "It is God who justifies" (Romans 8:33). Repeatedly Piraquive blamed Karen for what she herself is responsible before God, emphasizing that Karen is the sinner not her who must follow Jesus' teachings in order to receive God's blessings. This raised some eyebrows regarding her comments.

We previously mentioned that Maria Luisa Piraquive has been sharing the teachings of Jesus as presented in this blog with the Church of God Ministerial of Jesus Christ International, except for the topic of "The Unity of the Church."Addressing this topic would reveal her position.

Her most recent remarks suggested that she needs to better embody Jesus' teachings on "The Unity of the Church," as commanded by Him. As she continues to learn from preacher Rajabian in this series, it's essential for her to apply those teachings to her own life. Much like in Matthew 6:1-34, where Jesus warned the Jews, especially the Pharisees, whom He called “hypocrites.” He urged them to refrain from performing charitable acts for public recognition, stating that those who seek glory from others have already received their reward” (Matthew 6:1-2). Given the presence of Pharisees in Gomorrah, who seem more focused on public recognition than on unity, it appears Piraquive may have unintentionally preached to a congregation of Pharisees rather than addressing the Church regarding Rajabian.

For the past 17 years, hasn't God spoken to Piraquive about His work in the church through the prophets, saying “dispone tu corazón,” or “prepare your heart” to hear what He has to say? He has—Karen was present in church when Piraquive shared this message. However, His written word is fulfilled after she has chosen to refuse the message of God through the mouth of the prophets as written, "Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah” (Isaiah 1:7-10).

Piraquive's hidden sin—her refusal to listen to the Lord as conveyed by her Commander-in-Chief elect, Rajabian—is no less significant than the sins of those who perished at the Tower of Siloam and cannot be overlooked by the church. Has she not considered Jesus' words about the various types of sins, all equally significant in the eyes of the Lord? There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:1-5).

It is repentance and the demonstration of fruits of repentance that will lead to her sin being forgiven by the Lord.

For how long can Piraquive continue to have itching ears, ignoring God's word as expressed in Isaiah while justifying her sin against the Lord and blaming Karen before the church? Is she perhaps waiting for the overthrow of Gomorrah? We will know it. Just as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, He declared, “So no one shall reside there, nor son of man dwell in it” (Jeremiah 50:40).

In the bible, “itching ears” is used in 2 Timothy 4:3-4  to describe people who seek out messages and doctrines that support their lifestyle instead of following the teachings of Jesus through His servants.

The Unity of the Church

Pharisees do not work in unity.

God's teaching on unity, as expressed by Jesus in the Bible, is a deeply meaningful and vital concept that highlights the spiritual oneness and harmonious fellowship among believers in Christ. It transcends denominational, cultural, and societal divides, uniting Christians through their common faith in Jesus, God’s doctrine and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This series presents foundational biblical insights on Christian unity and provides practical guidance for how believers can actively cultivate and experience this unity in their lives.

The Spiritual ONENESS and HARMONIOUS Fellowship Among Believers in Jesus Christ Grounded in Love

1.    Do not love money. Be satisfied with what you have (Hebrew 13:5). Money is the root to all evil (1 Timothy 6:10).

2.    You should love the Lord your God above all things. This is the first commandment (Mark 12:30).

3.    And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:31).

4.    If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me (John 14:23-24).

5.  Love one another. A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35).

6.  Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law (Romans 13:8).

     In this series, we have also highlighted the connection between the Pharisees from Times Square Church (Sodom) and the Pharisees from The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International (Gomorrah), and the significant works of God within both churches. We’ve emphasized what the behavior and wrongdoings of the Pharisees in both churches are. Instead of making a positive doctrinal impact on the world, both churches follow the doctrine of hypocrisy and have fallen short. Rather than uplifting the community, they allowed the world to negatively influence the churches’ practices.

     As surprising as it may seem, the events unfolding regarding Abraham’s battle against Sodom and Gomorrah (the Church of God), along with the reactions of their neighbors—the local, state, and federal governments—as well as the upheaval of the new world order, are very real.

     God has been actively guiding His servant Rajabian in all aspects of her life, which includes confirming to her that a favorable official order from the current federal government is forthcoming. We have discussed Karen's pending business with the U.S. Congress in previous posts. As that matter is pending to be resolved, we will soon witness the fruition of God’s work as His servant Rajabian steps forward to possess modern Canaanite territory, much like Joshua did as a strong, courageous, and victorious military leader during the Israelites' conquest of ancient Canaan (Joshua 1:1-18; 13:1-33). 

Our “End of Times Blog” draws a diverse audience from various faiths and backgrounds around the globe. Unfortunately, due to hacking issues, our site’s flag counter is not reflecting the millions of visits we're receiving. We’re currently collecting statistics from an alternative source and will share those with our readers soon.

While we may not always agree with certain perspectives, we empathize with those struggling in their faith and doubting God's work and his servant Rajabian. We encourage everyone to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Though some may feel lost in darkness due to a lack of faith, there is hope in embracing belief and discovering the light of God’s Word. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalms 119:105).

 

On October 13, 2024, the morally bankrupt actions of Sodom and Gomorrah boldly challenge God's nature, authority, church, and divine purpose and power.

The Pharisees, prideful in their adherence to the popular preaching styles of Karen and the latest spiritual jargon stemming from our recent discussions about the Pharisees of Sodom and Gomorrah, caused a sermon titled “An Answer for Those Who Have Considered Ending It All.” They are in panic mode. During this address, they resurrected their old threats, saying, “either give us what we want, or we will burn down your church and your home; we will kill you and your family.” Their intentions are unmistakably clear to Commander Rajabian, who found herself caught in a web of manipulation. Under pressure to go to the church before receiving official orders from the U.S. government that will favor her, she faces demands to disarm, relinquishing both the weapons they saw and those she possesses that were unseen. Ultimately, she is forced to yield to their coercion, her choice reduced to a matter of life and death—a situation that felt like a defiance of God and her in every way.

 

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear (Isaiah 59:1).

For 19 years, the foolish and bitter Pharisees and Sodomites have been hurling threats at their Commander-in-Chief elect, Rajabian, hoping that this formidable warrior would capitulate to their demands. This is impossible. Yet, their threats have proven to be nothing more than empty words, dissipating like the wind. As seen in Genesis 14:1-24, it is the Abrahams who emerge as the heroes, not the Canaanite cities of Sodom or Gomorrah. There’s no need to reiterate their strategic operations and maneuvers; they are well understood.

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).

                       Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

In relation to the Pharisees from Gomorrah (The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International), while Karen is diligently preparing the way for the Lord by exposing lies, darkness, and hidden truths, as well as calling people to repentance, it is the behavior of these Pharisees that drives her to make these public revelations. In essence, she uncovers the evil that hinders the path of the Lord.

The reaction of the Pharisees to our aim to "prepare the way of the Lord" ahead of His manifestation to the world, has devolved into mere hearsay, with the Pharisees exchanging statements between them and preacher Rajabian. She said….but we say…. This is wrong. They should just obey the word of the Lord. 

During the beginning of the church service led by Pharisee Carlos Alberto Baena, he claimed that Maria Luisa Piraquive's sermon today would help eliminate the obstacles preventing Karen Rajabian from advancing the Lord’s work within the church. However, this did not occur, as Piraquive's sermon lacked both depth and practical application of the Scriptures. Referencing Matthew 7:1-29, which includes Jesus' final teachings directed at the Jews—especially the Pharisees on the Mount—Piraquive emphasized judgment to insinuate that preacher Rajabian has been improperly judging her hidden sin and those of the Pharisees from Gomorrah without authority. She repeatedly quoted, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you (Matthew 7:1-2).

Piraquive, lacking knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures, insinuated that Karen's judgmental nature indicates her own ignorance of the Bible, implying she falls short of the spiritual mother and teacher that God claims she is. What then? Did she call God a liar when He referred to Abraham in this way? Yes, she did. To the God of the Bible, Abraham is the spiritual father figure in the family of faith, as it is written: And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also, and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised (Romans 4:11-12).

The teachings of Piraquive against her Commander-in-Chief, Rajabian, are misleading. It’s undeniable that God declared Abraham righteous long before his circumcision, establishing him as “the spiritual father of all who believe,” regardless of whether they are circumcised, Jew, or Gentile.

While she criticizes Karen, she fosters apathy among church members towards her, which isn’t the spiritual behavior expected of her. She should strive to model a better example for the Pharisees. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:20).

In His teachings on the Mount, Jesus said, “Judge not lest you be judged.” This wasn’t a blanket prohibition against all judgment. A closer examination reveals the core message: “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged by God. The standard you use in judging will be the standard by which you are judged.” Jesus addressed this primarily to unbelieving Jews, but He also calls us to address the “speck” in our brother’s eye, especially among fellow believers. The intent of judging others’ sins is to help them find freedom.

Paul echoes this in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13: “What have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside, God judges. Therefore, put away from yourselves the evil person.” He emphasizes the importance of removing sin from the church, stating that Christians should judge those within the church while leaving judgement of outsiders to God. Christians are not called to judge those outside the church; that responsibility lies with God. Paul’s teachings imply that believers are expected to conduct themselves differently from those outside the faith. This establishes a clear authority for the church to exercise righteous judgment among its members.

Understanding these scriptures requires a degree of spiritual insight, as Karen has demonstrated. So, is preacher Rajabian correct in her assessment of Piraquive and the hidden sins of the Pharisees causing division within the church? Absolutely. As 1 Corinthians 2:15 states, “He who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.”

Divisiveness within the Church and Why

Jesus' teaching to the Jews, especially the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 7:1-29 covers several key of His teachings which He tried for them to not only learn about them but put into practice:

1. Judgment (verses 1-5): We spoke about judgment already.

2. Ask, Seek, Knock (verses 7-11): Jesus encourages people to ask God for what they need, promising that those who seek will find, and that God gives good gifts to those who ask.

3. The Golden Rule (verse 12): Jesus teaches that we should treat others as we would want to be treated, summarizing the Law and the Prophets.

4. The Narrow Gate (verses 13-14): He explains that the path to life is narrow and that few find it, contrasting it with the broad road that leads to destruction.

5. False Prophets (verses 15-20): Jesus warns to be wary of false prophets, teaching that their true nature will be revealed by their fruits (actions).

6. True and False Disciples (verses 21-23): He emphasizes that not everyone who calls Him "Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of God.

7. The Wise and Foolish Builders (verses 24-27): Jesus illustrates the importance of putting His teachings into practice, comparing those who do so to a wise builder, and those who don't to a foolish builder of His church.

8. Authority of Jesus (verses 28-29): The chapter concludes with the crowd's astonishment at Jesus' teachings, recognizing His authority.

When there are Pharisees as leaders in the church of God, there will always be divisiveness and evil within because they always leave the teachings of Jesus out of practice.

It isn’t Karen blocking the way of God, but they themselves are the stumbling blocks on the way of God and hers with a continuous tendency of justifying themselves before the church of God repeatedly blaming her for it.

It isn’t about taking bible verses of Scripture to make their justification point to convince the church of it. It is about Jesus. But Maria Luisa Piraquive seems to have lost sight of building the church in alignment with Christ, His commandments, and His purpose. Commander Rajabian does not engage in their game of justification, as it is God who justifies (Romans 8:33); spiritual individuals do not need to vindicate themselves—only the carnal do. Jesus highlighted this, stating that the Pharisees, who cherished money, would justify themselves before men, but God sees their hearts (Luke 16:15).

Pharisees lost sight of their spiritual purpose, driven by a desire for money, public recognition, and personal exaltation. We have been taught about the nature of such individuals, and it’s clear that Piraquive has strayed from the vision of “God’s church,” while we remain steadfast.

Preacher Rajabian has fed the Pharisees with the milk of the gospel, noting that their refusal to accept the Lord and His servants fosters division within the church. Jesus said, “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive” (John 5:43). He also proclaimed that they would not see Him again until they acknowledged Him as the one sent by the Lord (Matthew 23:39). We are called to accept one another as Christ accepted us, for the glory of God (Romans 15:4-6).

Divisiveness within the church is a carnal act that contradicts the teachings of the Lord. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, he could not speak to them as spiritual beings but only as carnal, likening them to infants in Christ. He fed them milk instead of solid food because they were not yet ready, and their envy, strife, and divisions revealed their carnal nature.

Overall, Jesus' teachings in Matthew 7:1-29 stress the importance of self-examination, seeking God, humility, ethical conduct, harmony, peace, and living out His teachings.

The Unity of the Church

When Pharisees take the lead within the Church of God, divisiveness and malice are sure to follow. Karen Rajabian first experienced this at Times Square Church and has continued to encounter it among the Pharisees of The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International. We have thoroughly examined the nature and motivations of these Pharisees, as well as the reasons behind their actions.

In truth, it is not Karen who is hindering God's work; they are the real obstacles, persistently justifying their behavior while placing blame on her. This situation goes beyond their selective interpretation of Scripture; it ultimately revolves around Jesus.

Just as a mother nourishes her children, their spiritual mother provides them with the milk and solid food of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet, they appear disinterested in this spiritual sustenance. By acting in ways that contradict Jesus’ teachings and justifying their actions within the church, they hinder God's work. This not only goes against God and His authority but also disrupts His church and divine purpose."

If they can’t accept the milk of the gospel, they won’t be ready for the solid food that Jesus offers. Still, their spiritual mother tries again to feed them this solid nourishment, hoping they will be able to receive it (1 Peter 2:1-2). For it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

Two key biblical passages on church unity are Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12. Ephesians 4 outlines how God appoints different roles within the church, emphasizing that understanding these roles is vital for growth and unity. Meanwhile, 1 Corinthians 12 teaches that each member possesses unique gifts and that no one can claim, “I do not need you.” Together, these scriptures lay the groundwork for appreciating "unity in diversity" within the church.

Jesus not only prayed for His disciples to remain unified (John 17:6-11), but He also demonstrated this unity by choosing twelve sinners as His disciples. He justified and forgave their sins and placed them in ministry. These twelve walked with Him, learned from Him, and shared the revelations of Scripture, experiencing transformation and being changed from glory to glory.

God's teachings on unity, as expressed by Jesus in the Bible, are essential for fostering spiritual oneness and harmonious fellowship among believers. This unity transcends denominational, cultural, and societal barriers, uniting Christians through their shared faith in Jesus, adherence to God’s teachings, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This series offers foundational biblical insights on Christian unity and practical guidance for believers seeking to cultivate and experience this unity in their lives.

On October 20, 2024, Claude Houde, a Pharisee associated with Nouvelle Vie Church, was invited to deliver a sermon at Times Square Church in support of his long-time friends within the Pharisee community, to whom he feels a greater loyalty than to God. Despite Jesus’ warnings about the foolishness and spiritual blindness of the Pharisees, as well as their lack of knowledge and understanding of the Bible, Houde began his address by positioning himself as a great teacher of the Word, seemingly placing his own reasoning above the divine wisdom that Karen has taught. He titled his sermon “The Prayers of the Spiritual Warrior,” drawing upon 2 Corinthians 2:3-4 to discuss spiritual warfare. He emphasized the need for Commander-in-Chief Rajabian to acknowledge that the only weapons in the battle against the Sodomites and Pharisees are not of the flesh, but rather are powerful through God’s might.

In his message, Houde reflected the anxiety prevalent among the Sodomites, Pharisees and Canaanites within the congregation. He urged Princess Rajabian to disarm against the threats posed by them at Times Square Church, who had been taunting her to respond to their menacing actions aimed at destroying her, her family, and her interests.

 

Paul the Apostle, in 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, speaks to the nature of spiritual warfare: “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

When Paul addressed the topic of spiritual warfare, he was confronting false teachers who boasted of their wisdom, talents, and achievements to dispute his apostolic authority. They relied on carnal arguments to undermine him. However, recognizing this as a spiritual battle, Paul employed divine weapons to dismantle their claims.

Stronghold is anything upon which one relies for strength or security. The false teachers much like the Pharisees, the enemies of Paul leaned on human wisdom and reasoning and empty eloquence to challenge Paul, but he chose not to engage on their terms. Instead, he equipped himself not with prayer but the full armor of God, as outlined in Ephesians 6:10–17.

While false teachers walked under demonic impulse to do evil, and obeyed their father the devil for their security, Paul walked in the shoes of the gospel, wielding the weapons of spiritual warfare while proclaiming the transformative message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. While they relied on this evil power to content against Paul, manipulating situations with deceit, and lies, he donned the belt of truth, standing firm against their deceptions. False teachers operated from sinfulness, while Paul wore the breastplate of righteousness, guarding his heart against their attacks. Their strength was under demonic power, but Paul defended himself with the shield of faith trusting in God’s protection. They claimed authority through intimidation, while Paul was protected by the helmet of salvation, reminding himself of his secure standing in Christ. Finally, while they employed demonic schemes to advance their cause, Paul used the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, as his ultimate weapon in this spiritual battle.                            

The battlefield against demonic power attacks, is the minds and hearts of the Christian believer. And the goal taught by Paul is to take captive every thought to make them obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 2:5).

Paul said that his suit of armor is spiritual, not fleshly: the weapons of his warfare" are not carnal, but mighty through God to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:10-13). Unlike the manipulative tactics of his opponents, Paul relied on guarding his battlefield and putting on the powerful armor of God to dismantle arguments against his apostolic authority and any stronghold or opposition to the truth of His Word.

His defense spans chapters 10 to 12. In chapter 10, Paul emphasized that his authority over the church did not rely on external validation, superficiality, or human wisdom and reasoning (1 Corinthians 2:1–5).

He appealed to the humility and gentleness of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:1–2; Philippians 2:5–11), defending his own gentleness while cautioning them against provoking him into the boldness he was prepared to show. He preferred to avoid severity in his disciplinary approach.

Similarly, Christ relied on spiritual weapons in His interactions with His disciples. When Peter struck the high priest's servant, Jesus told him to sheath the sword, emphasizing that those who resort to violence will ultimately face its consequences. Although He could have called upon divine assistance, He chose to embody humility, illustrating that true power lies in allowing God to work through us. This discipline paves the way for deeper teaching.

As the Sodomites, Pharisees and Canaanites grapple with anxiety over the looming war, trying to manipulate their Commander-in-Chief elect, Rajabian, through Scripture, she stands as a champion of peace wielding the armor of God and weapons of spiritual warfare. However, when faced with acts of physical aggression toward herself, her family, or her interests, she responds decisively with all her might, much like Prince Abraham, while in battle, relying on the help and protection of God, who has promised to aid her: "Blessed be God Most High, Who will deliver your enemies into your hand" (Genesis 14:1-24), (Genesis 15:1). In other words, she does not fight alone; as a ruler, she fights with God, His Word and man-made weapons.

The laws governing Israeli leaders during wartime are outlined in God's word as recorded in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. The concept of divine right asserts that kings and princes derive their authority from God, enabling them to engage in battle against their enemies without accountability to earthly powers. This backdrop is particularly relevant to our Jewish Commander Rajabian, poised to confront the Sodomites and Pharisees in modern-day Canaanite land, who are fated to fail (Genesis 14:1-24).

When the Israelites followed God's word, especially during the conquest of Canaan, they fought not only with man-made weapons but also with divine support (Joshua 1:1-18; 13:1-33). Throughout the Old Testament, God underscores that obedience is essential for His presence during conflicts. This partnership is encapsulated in the concept of "The Battles of the Lord" in spiritual warfare, a theme explored in the writings of author Karen Rajabian. Her teachings emphasize that God's power is unleashed when by obeying His Word we allow Him, to work in us, for us, and through us.

Recently, Chief Sodomite and Pharisee Carter Conlon claimed he would never put his children at risk due to his wrongful actions against God and His servants, including Commander Rajabian. Yet this assurance seems unconvincing, as he and the Pharisees collectively endanger their children when they target her and her family.

What then? Is it truly a matter of life and death, as the Pharisees originally stated?

The Abrahams always keep law and order. Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My statutes, and My laws, says the Lord” (Genesis 26:5).

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).

                       Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

Today, Commander Rajabian, the messenger of God, attended the church services at Gomorrah once again. She wasn't surprised when apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive, the church leader, questioned where God’s support for Rajabian had been during her 17 years of wandering in life's wilderness, awaiting to deliver the divine message for the church.

Divisiveness within The Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International persists, as Piraquive continues her relentless self-justification before the congregation. Her actions reveal a refusal to embrace the delivery of God’s message to His church.

Refusal to accept the Lord and His servants fosters division within the church. Jesus said, “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive” (John 5:43). He also proclaimed that they would not see Him again until they acknowledged Him as the one sent by the Lord (Matthew 23:39). We are called to accept one another as Christ accepted us, for the glory of God (Romans 15:4-6).   

Spiritual Nourishment

Divisiveness within the church is a carnal act that contradicts the teachings of the Lord. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, he could not speak to them as spiritual beings but only as carnal, likening them to infants in Christ. He fed them milk instead of solid food because they were not yet ready, and their envy, strife, and divisions revealed their carnal nature.

Like a mother feeds her children, their spiritual mother has been nurturing them with the milk of the gospel, yet they show no desire to engage with the deeper teachings of the Lord. By doing the opposite of what our Lord Jesus taught and justifying themselves before the church, obstructs the work of God in the Church, this is defying God, His authority, His church, and His purpose.

Once again, their spiritual mother offers them the same solid food of the gospel for them to eat it, if they are now ready to receive it (1 Peter 2:1-2). For man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).        

Divisiveness within the Church

When there are Pharisees as leaders in the church of God, there will always be divisiveness and evil within. They always leave the teachings of Jesus out of practice.

It is evident that they are blocking the way of God. As stumbling blocks on the way of God and hers, they have a continuous tendency of justifying themselves before the church of God repeatedly blaming her for it.

It isn’t about taking bible verses of Scripture to make their justification point to convince the church of it. It is about Jesus. But Maria Luisa Piraquive seems to have lost sight of building the church in alignment with Christ, His commandments, and His purpose. Commander Rajabian does not engage in their game of justification, as it is God who justifies (Romans 8:33); spiritual individuals do not need to vindicate themselves—only the carnal do. Jesus highlighted this, stating that the Pharisees, who cherished money, would justify themselves before men, but God sees their hearts (Luke 16:15).

Pharisees lost sight of their spiritual purpose, driven by a desire for money, public recognition, and personal exaltation. We have been taught about the nature of such individuals, and it’s clear that Piraquive has strayed from the mission of “God’s church,” while we remain steadfast.

The Unity of the Church  

Two key biblical passages on church unity are Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12. Ephesians 4 outlines how God appoints different roles within the church, emphasizing that understanding these roles is vital for growth and unity. Meanwhile, 1 Corinthians 12 teaches that each member possesses unique gifts and that no one can claim, “I do not need you.” Together, these scriptures lay the groundwork for appreciating "unity in diversity" within the church.

Jesus not only prayed for His disciples to remain unified (John 17:6-11), but He also demonstrated this unity by choosing twelve sinners as His disciples. He justified and forgave their sins and placed them in ministry. These twelve walked with Him, learned from Him, and shared the revelations of Scripture, experiencing transformation and being changed from glory to glory.

God's teachings on unity, as expressed by Jesus in the Bible, are essential for fostering spiritual oneness and harmonious fellowship among believers. This unity transcends denominational, cultural, and societal barriers, uniting Christians through their shared faith in Jesus, adherence to God’s teachings, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. This series offers foundational biblical insights on Christian unity and practical guidance for believers seeking to cultivate and experience this unity in their lives.

The Spiritual Oneness and Harmonious Fellowship Among Believers in Jesus Christ Grounded in Love

1.    Do not love money. Be satisfied with what you have (Hebrew 13:5). Money is the root to all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). 

2.    You should love the Lord your God above all things. This is the first commandment (Mark 12:30).

3.    And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:31).

4.    If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me (John 14:23-24).

5.  Love one another. A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35).

6.  Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law (Romans 13:8).
