Demetrics and Pauline Roscoe

For too long, the problem has been that mortal men looked to GOD with a human lens, confusing themselves with the thought that ADONAI’s rationale was similar to that of humankind.

Isaiah 55:8-11
(AMP)
⁸ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord.
⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
¹⁰ For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
¹¹ So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

The average member of the Body of Yeshua only believes that the GOD of Israel solely responds with grace and mercy.

Romans 11:21-22
(AMP)
²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches [because of unbelief], neither will He spare you [if you are guilty of the same offense].
²² Then note and appreciate the gracious kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s gracious kindness to you—provided you continue in His grace and abide in His kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off (pruned away).

Will ADONAI cut people off? That’s against what we believe and teach. Are we open to the fact that tragedy can serve a purpose in GOD’s prophetic plan?

Romans 11:7-8
(AMP)
⁷ What then [shall we conclude]? Israel failed to obtain what it sought [God’s favor by obedience to the Law]. Only the elect (those chosen few) obtained it, while the rest of them became callously indifferent (blinded, hardened, and made insensible to it).
⁸ As it is written, God gave them a spirit (an attitude) of stupor, eyes that should not see and ears that should not hear, [that has continued] down to this very day.

Chapter six of The Book of Revelations makes no sense when GOD’S human classification of love is the only emotion ADONAI exhibits and the reason is because, in the complex nature of good and bad, all creation works together to bring GOD’S will to a prophetic end.

Revelation 6:3-4
(AMP)
³ And when He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature call out, Come!
⁴ And another horse came out, flaming red. And its rider was empowered to take the peace from the earth, so that men slaughtered one another; and he was given a huge sword.

Far From Ukraine, Sri Lanka is the Epicenter of a Global Crisis

• (THE WASHINGTON POST); The war in Ukraine may still dominate international headlines. But it’s a country far from the battlefield that has turned into a kind of crucible of the global moment. For months, Sri Lanka has been in an economic death spiral: A public debt crisis, exacerbated first by the toll of the pandemic and then the disruptions provoked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has led to shortages in food, fuel, cooking gas, medicines, cash and other essential commodities.

In a United Nations survey, some 70 percent of Sri Lankan households reported cutting back on food consumption, with food price inflation running at around 57 percent (contrast that roughly 10 percent in the United States from the previous year). The country of 22 million people is more or less out of fuel and fresh shipments are still days away.

Nations who are depending on Ukraine’s wheat and oil, such as Africa, the United States, and Sri Lankans are having tremendous political unrest.

Mounting public anger and protests brought down the government of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa in May, but crisis conditions endure and fears grow over the potential of new clashes between security forces and ordinary, irate civilians. Rolling power cuts are now standard parts of daily life, as are days-long lines for fuel. Schools and offices have been closed at least through the week in a bid to keep Sri Lankans off the roads.

Revelation 6:8
(AMP)
⁸ So I looked, and behold, an ashy pale horse [black and blue as if made so by bruising], and its rider’s name was Death, and Hades (the realm of the dead) followed him closely. And they were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and with wild beasts of the earth.

As the Church readies herself to war in praise and worship, the separation of those on fire for GOD against the lukewarm will set the picture of the last battle cry of GOD. Only those whose lamp is filled with the Spirit and those who are hot, but not cold will stand with Yeshua, Jesus Christ of Nazareth will awake to the resurrection to life.

Revelation 3:14-22
(AMP)
¹⁴ And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:
¹⁵ I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!
¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!
¹⁷ For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
¹⁸ Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
¹⁹ Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude].
²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.
²¹ He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.
²² He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the [Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).
