Journey from Rome to Home

hello everyone it's Shane Von with first Harvest Ministries and I want to speak to you tonight about what's happening in the Earth today and what we are experiencing in our local congregation here and what is being experienced around the world by Believers everywhere that you turn There's a Great Awakening that is happening among the spirit fill church and I want to give you a little history because in order to understand where we are now we need to understand where it all began the great restoration of God's Church began many many many hundred hundreds of years ago and it started in a place in Germany with a man by the name of Martin Luther now before I get to Martin Luther's story uh and before I talk to you about that man I want to explain a couple of things most people that are watching this video um I if I was to ask you what is the main reason that we left the Catholic Church hundreds of years ago what is the main reason that we forsook catholicity and we abandoned the papacy of Rome why did we do that now we'll be be very tempted to say well it was over the doctrines of the church such as marry worship or or Idols or Purgatory or you know we'll name some of these things that we think is why we left the Catholic church but I'm very surprised at how many Protestants which if you are not a Catholic You Are by virtue a Protestant what caused the Protestant Reformation or the Protestant movement from catholicity it is not merry worship and it's not Purgatory but the main reason that we left and the main thing that separates us from them was one word and that word or that phrase is people infallibility the Catholic Church proudly proclaims as is their right to do that they do not abide by a phrase that we call solar scrip Torah now solos scrip Torah means scripture alone and basically it means that solos scrip Tor means the preeminence of the word of God above all men any man that everything must go back and be tested by the word of God to have official dogmatism in the church the Catholics do not believe that the Catholics believe there are several things that they use to determine the will of God the word of God yes scripture is one of those things whereas we believe that it is scripture alone they believe that is that they also believe it is the traditions of the church that have been created and they finally believe believe that nothing nothing is greater in Authority than the pope of Rome and any dictate that he makes um in in katada which means from the throne from the papal Throne where he sits as The Bull of the church and issues his bull edicts which are laws of the church now they believe that if the Pope says it from the throne now not necessarily everything he says if he's at the dinner table talking but if he's sitting in the throne and issues a bull then that's law that is Canon Church law it does not have to be uh verified by the scripture or anything and that is the fundamental teaching that we rejected in the early days of the Protestant movement now Yahweh God promised us in his word that the pommer worm and the cankerworm and the Locust had come into the church which is Israel and now we didn't replace Israel we joined Israel and that had come in and destroyed the church destroyed the teachings of the apostolic fathers but he foretold a time when those teachings would be restored and that there would be a great restor ation of knowledge the Bible said in the last days knowledge would be increased that word knowledge there's understanding we would begin to understand in the final hours of time what our forefathers did not understand all right so there was a man that Yahweh raised up to begin this restoration Ministry basically the Catholic church had come into the Apostolic Church which of course means by the apostles remember those Apostles like John had students they had disciples one in particular was a man by the name of polycarp now these men live to ripe old ages and They Carried the church through the apostolic era probably through the mid2 200s after Christ died by that time we still have vestiges of apostolic Doctrine I like like to tell everyone that if you go to polycarp's teachings which I'm writing a book on polycarp now that I hope to have published very soon but if you study study his teachings I'm proud to say that me along with many others are preaching the exact same message that polyart preached word for word Point by point for example polycarp kept the seventh day Sabbath he did not keep any of the holidays he kept the holy days we will show he didn't believe in a trinity he believed in water baptism by immersion in the only saving name go down the line of all the things that he preached that our ministry preaches today but eventually polycarp died all of these Originals begin to die out and another church begin to form preaching a false Christ preaching a different gospel than the apostolic gospel now this happened uh we're now to about the 300s after Christ died the church begins to take dramatic shifts and uh it stems from a man by the name of Simon Magus I don't have time in this video to deal with Simon but with all of that said from 300 until the Reformation or the restoration I prefer to call it the church went into decline one Doctrine at a time began to be washed away from AP Apostolic Doctrine uh one of the first teachings that left the church was justification by faith the church begin to teach that you just needed to be a member of the church you didn't need a personal relationship with Christ but you just needed to be a faithful member of the church wiping out justification by faith and then of course the next thing they wiped out was the water baptism by immersion they they wiped out water baptism in the name only and started using the titles creating the doctrine of the Trinity um one thing led to another eventually uh the pope completely did away with the seventh day Sabbath the holy days and began to adopt pagan holidays and brought them into God's true Israel and so the church went into this Decline and that lasted for well over a thousand years until the Holy Spirit the ruach cadesh began to move up on his people and begin the restoration I want to bring you step by step through that restoration and help you to understand why we are where we are right now and why you need to consider the things that we are teaching we are not trying to create something new out of thin air we are not trying to create a new uh Doctrine we are trying to go back to to the original Doctrine just as Martin Luther started us on that journey in the country of Germany whenever he decided that the Church of Rome had been wrong about one thing primarily it was the first doctrine that the church took away justification by faith Martin Luther began to preach all over Germany that the just shall live by faith and that that this should be restored he began to preach that the pope was not the final Authority but rather the word of God was the final Authority he began to preach that message far and wide and it began to catch on like fire everywhere this message begin to creep into the villages and the hearts of the Beloved people so much so that Luther had a message the message of his day now I don't agree with a lot of the things that Martin Luther preached because they were not all right but this one thing was right and it was his adamacy against the papacy and against the teachings of Rome now a strange thing happened Martin Luther preached Faithfully the message of coming out of Babylon coming out of Rome which is Babylon and so people began to following they followed him and be to form a movement coming out of Rome that movement eventually turned into an established denomination and that denomination to this day is known as the Lutheran Church and that church was born not from a desire to create a new doctrine but a desire to restore original Doctrine now after Martin Luther died his church lived on but the the the tenacity for the message died out and therefore what began to happen is so common they they kept the church and lost the passion for the message that church exists today the Lutheran church and it has no life left in it it lives off of the Lutheran message of Martin Luther but it did not go on with the cloud of Revelation that God brought to his people let me give you an example in the Church of Luther there was another man by the name of John Wesley Wesley was given a revelation of a doctrine that the Roman Catholic church had wiped out of the church and God didn't give this Revelation to Martin Luther it wasn't time yet the restoration is a process and it is a peeling away of false truth layer by layer so so John Wesley is reading his Bible he's studying the book and he sees a message called uh sanctification Wesley believed and rightly so that God's people needed to be focused on cleansing their Temple cleansing their life of sin and walking in something referred to as Sanctified living Holiness so John Wesley began to travel the circuit preaching to come out from among them and be separate leave sin and walk in righteousness and all John Wesley that message just like Luther's message began to grab hold of the hearts of God's true church the elect of Israel and people begin to hear the ringing of that message as it stirred up the joy bells in their soul and people begin to follow now John Wesley's preaching a sad thing happened those that God had just used in the Lutheran Church yahweh's people that he had just LED them out of the Wilderness and brought them to that great truth you would think they would be the first to embrace John Wesley's message of sanctification but as history would have it that was not the case no they ostracized John Wesley called him a heretic and forbade him from their churches and with that John Wesley was forced out to go with only a message no money no means no backing but a message of Truth John Wesley preached the people followed John Wesley died and the same thing happened to his movement that happened to Luther's movement they kept the church which today we know it as the Methodist Church the church still exists but the fire the passion for truth died with its founder now you would think that in this church the Methodist Church they were known as the shout Methodist because they used to have church just like the Pentecostals did they were a rambunctious lot and they followed Wesley till he died they still say they follow him but that's all they follow now in the midst of that move of God there's another man reading his Bible and studying the word of Yahweh when he comes to understand that the church still had some missing pieces that Rome had destroyed from our great puzzle of Truth and that man was AB Simpson and he along with many others began to study on water baptism and they realized whoa the apostles the early church before Rome changed it all up baptized by full immersion in water now up until this point the Lutheran Church and the Methodist meist church that had followed God they had followed the message of their day they had been but they kept many of the teachings of the Roman Church including sprinkling instead of water baptism by immersion so man here came AB Simpson and all of these folks that had seen this baptism message and where did they go they went to the Methodist Church where they were members where they were part of it and they were so excited to tell them about water baptism by immersion and you would think they would think they would have been accepted but just like their predecessors the same thing happened the more things change the more they stay the same especially with God's people and so they came in with their message of baptism what did the Methodist do you guessed it told him bye-bye find you another building you're out of here because your message doesn't sound like what we've heard all of our Lives good people but they didn't hear the message so here goes AB Simpson and here goes what it was called then the anabaptist and today of course they're the Baptist denomination they were strong on now they believed in Wesley's message justification by faith they believed in Luther's message they uh and they believed in all of these messages but now they were just adding to it restoring Peace by piece what had been lost so now these Baptist people wonderful people formed their church and they had heard from God a great truth but alas the great travesty happened and they chose to cherish the rock of that truth rather than to follow the cloud that would bring them to the next Rock now there was a group of people in the Baptist Church in the late 1800s they had been baptized by immersion they had believed all of the message that they had heard and they began to read their Bibles you know a strange thing happens when you begin to study the word if you hunger after righteousness you will be filled Yahweh will open your eyes he'll give it to you so they were studying the word in man all of a sudden they started reading the book of Acts and in that book they notice that uh the apostles the apostolic church had something that they didn't have and it was the power of the Holy Ghost it was the infilling of the Holy Ghost that added blessing and um and and and and so all of a sudden they begin to seek for it they begin to ask God to give them uh more power uh more more strength to do the work of God and sure enough many of them in the late 1800s at a place called Shir Schoolhouse began to be filled with the same thing that happened at the day of Pentecost now from that movement came out of the Baptist Church they went to the Baptist Church church with it and sure enough once again God's little bastard children Little Orphan children uh why do I say that because we were without a home at that time the people the elect Israel is now kicked out of their home again orphaned to go to the storefront buildings to go rent any place they could find build any brush Arbor they could build and preach their wild Pentecostal message and preach it they did from that movement came the oldest uh Pentecostal organizations primarily the Church of God out of Cleveland Tennessee the Church of God in Christ with the uh Bishop Mason and AJ tomson over in the Church of God and these were some of your original Pentecostal movements and then of course the Assemblies of God now this be this happened at the early 1900s uh and then after that uh came a man by the name of parum and Charles parum the uh he was at a place in toeka Kansas where he began to study on the initial evidence and I won't get into that on this video but with that said here came the great Pentecostal movement and they had just heard from God God had called them out of formalism and restoring to them the power power of that original Apostolic Church well all was going well in the Pentecostal church until about 1920 1930 when at a camp meeting a man by the name of Goss and several others were reading their Bible and they saw as that urum thumin began to light up in front of them and Flash before them in the word of God they found acts 238 and that was when they said wo wo Who whoo our baptism is still not original and they Reed the revelation of baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ or Yeshua hamashiach it's the exact same thing nevertheless they receive that it was not to be a trinitarian formula but rather the name so man here they go where do they go they go to their Pentecostal church that they were a part of and they bring this Jesus name message to their people and these were the people that had just received a word from God about the infilling of the Holy Ghost and did they accept this Jesus name message by and large no they did not they did the exact same thing to these Jesus name people that the Baptist had just done to them they kicked them out and once again here they came with their little tent revivals and their Little Orphan buildings preaching this new way this new message now you you know what was so funny this was during the time of people like Amy mcferson and um a lady by the name of Maria Woodworth Eder she was a huge evangelist at that time and sister Eder which was a woman of God said said a sad thing she said that the Jesus name movement at that time was the biggest uh uh what is the word she used it was the biggest uh tragedy ever hatched out of hell that's what she said about the Jesus name movement I'm sure if she was alive today she would probably undo those words but at that time it did look like it was not a good thing because all the Pentecostal churches were splitting they were dividing over this new issue they were dividing over this technicality because in the Pentecostal people's mind when they were saying in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost they were saying the name that because we know what the name is and there was no need to repeat the the name just say in the name of and so here comes these other people being so technical that you got to say the name well they didn't see it that way they didn't understand the beauty of more understanding more Revelation they kicked him out so here comes the Jesus name people which happens to be my ancestors for Generations back I go into that wonderful revelation of that army of belever Believers my grandmother sister L Gatlin my great grandmother sister nety hoo people that followed this message oh did they follow it and I thank God that they did because their torch is being carried on today now the Jesus name folks begin to build large churches their movement begin to grow they built great denominations primarily the Pentecostal Assemblies of the world the United Pentecostal Church Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ uh just many many wonderful wonderful movements came from that movement well that was not all of the move of God it never is don't fool yourself it never is the 1950s we had another movement another Awakening and it was called the healing Revival with men such as AA Allen and William brandham and Jack Co and all of these ministers a great healing Revelation that healing physical healing was a gift to the children of Israel God's people and that we could lay hands on the sick and they would recover and you would think that the Pentecostal the Jesus name people all of them would have welcomed that message with open arms to be fair some did some didn't but sadly these this revival was rejected by the all the major denominations of their day now truth marches on in the 1970s there was another Great Awakening a great edition of Revelation that came to be known as the charismatic Revival this was a an Awakening of the gifts of the Spirit prophecy word of knowledge um uh Gifts of of wisdom uh prophecy everything was all coming back to the church remember these have been lost for thousands of years God is adding them quickly to the end time bride so and then who rejected them you got it the Jesus Name Church they rejected the charismatic movement uh and sometimes for good reason because all movements come with some mess attached along to it trust me I know but nevertheless it is what it is and we need to follow it there was a lot of good in the charismatic Revival and a lot of bad but it's just like every Revival it will come with twin Spirits it will come with the truth and then it will come with the extreme truth and our job is to bring it to the middle and find the balance so ladies and gentlemen that brought us to the 2000s or the late 1990s and then something else began to happen there was another sound that began to go forth up until that time hard hardly ever would you turn on your television and see a preacher wearing a toite around his shoulders which is a a Jewish prayer Shaw or would you see a chaar being blown or would you hear about the Sabbath day really except for maybe Ellen White's movement the Seventh Day Adventist which thank God for that movement they had a and that I forgot to mention their movement it began uh back in the early 1900s as well that restoration of the truth but nevertheless when we come to the 2000s there begin to be what I believe is the final Awakening for the last day bride of Yeshua and it was an Awakening of our identity of who Israel is and the identity of the Lost tribes of Israel and the understanding of who we are in our covenant with yua and then the sacred name movement began of of course way before the 2000s and that movement began to reveal to us the original names of God name of God in the Hebrew scriptures to give us a love for his name and the original so that was an Awakening and now we are in another Awakening and it's happening around the world you might not like it none of us did when we first heard it first saw it but you can't stop it it's going on and it's taking on all over the country and you will either fight it or you will or or you will see that this is not to hurt nor to harm the body of Christ this is to bring us into what I believe is the perfecting stages of the final restoration of what Rome destroyed from us what was something that Rome took from us our identity they hated the Jews the Roman church and we have this documented was one of the most anti-Semitic churches they in their minds believed rightly so that the Jews killed Christ so therefore they wanted to wash the Church of all things Jewish and in so doing they washed away our identity our Hebrew identity our identity of Israel we lost that through the years and that's why so many of you watching us now when you see Hebrew type things it's offensive to you in some way or another and that's okay because because it's been robbed from us but there are some of us that we beginning to understand that we are the Lost tribes of Israel that we are being returned to the Covenant of Israel and with that comes many wonderful things that I won't get into now but it includes and it's not limited to the seventh day Sabbath the Roman Catholic Church demanded that we stop keeping the seventh day Sabbath and we start keeping their Sabbath which is the first day or Sunday of every week and many years ago many of us begin to see that they took that from us and we wanted it back and we went after it we claim that as ours the seventh day Sabbath just as we claimed the uh charismatic gifts just as we claimed the healing Revival just as we claim the Jesus name message the Pentecostal message the method just as we CL we claim this one we grab it we discard the extremism of it because oh yeah there's some quacks in every move of God but in this one we're grabbing it we're understanding that it was romanism it was popish law that took our identity from us demanded that no judaizing be done in the church wipe away God's Sabbath replace it with the F so of course after that they wiped away all holy days Passover replaced it with a word called Easter and I won't get into all of that tonight but suffice it to say there's a cleansing going on in God's Church in the Church of Israel the Church of the Living God there's a final preparation for a people that wanted all back I hope now that you understand why we are who we are and why we love what we love I pray this message has been a blessing to you God bless you
