Two or Three Witnesses: To The Third Witness
This will be a special message to our friend - the third witness on his birthday. It is also a larger message about friendship and dedicated to our council and many of our readers! It will also include some reader contributions from Jake, Jesse, and Jane (three Js). As always, thank you immensely to those who bravely help us in any way. I pray a blessing over contributors in Jesus's name.
Introduction - Letter to The Third Witness
The Bible says that two or three witnesses are needed for something to be known or "a word to be established", so for all intents and purposes, many readers of this blog are "the third witness" at times, and that is why we include many perspectives in this blog. Thank you to everyone who has been a third witness to us. We appreciate it.
However, today, I want to write to one third witness in particular. This is a special message to him on his birthday. He will know who he is upon reading this. For readers, I wanted to remind you how much one person can make a difference. Never let Satan make you think you are not valuable. If you ever think you are not important, just email us, and I will tell you how important you are! I promise you - you matter to God and us. Now, let's get to a message to this third witness on his birthday.
This blog would not be possible without him. I pray readers understand it is not easy to run a website like this. It is, many times, very painful. It takes a lot of work, and not only are we usually under spiritual attack, but people are not the nicest to us. We leave the emails open because we want to help people, but that can be arduous. However, one day, I received an email that changed the course of our history - an email from this third witness.
At the time, I was not feeling that great, but this email felt like it was from something of a higher source - the Holy Spirit. This person somehow understood all of the struggles we were going through, though we had never talked before. This email actually said something along these lines. I am paraphrasing:
- "Don't give up. You can't give up! You are not allowed to give up. It wouldn't be fair to give up!"
At first, I was kind of irritated. Who is this person? What right do they have to say any of this to us?
However, in my heart, I knew he was right. I knew that we had to keep going.
That one email changed the course of this website. Maybe we were about to give up. It all seems so futile at times, but this person, a third witness, took the time to write us an eloquent email and tell us our work is important - that if no one else cared - he did.
Over time, this person became our friend.
God sent me a dream about him once, and he was represented by a cat. I know cats sometimes have a bad reputation, but I like cats. Here is a cute birthday cat to represent this third witness. I am writing this post to him to say, "Happy Birthday."
Like a cat, he is loving but independent. He kind of goes off and does his own things sometimes, but he always knows where to come for his food and water - his spiritual bread and living water, that is. He is intelligent, and he is affectionate and gentle to those he becomes comfortable around. He is curious and adventurous, and he is loyal. He is the perfect friend for the Two Witnesses to have - and how difficult it is to be our friend!
The Two Witnesses likely will not have many friends, but the ones we have are priceless. Right now, we have a group of ten men who stand by our side (our council), who support us, encourage us, and love us. These men have taken a chance in talking to us and becoming our friends. They are all of our witnesses, and as the Bible shows, witnesses are important. Jesus Christ did not need a witness, really, as He is God and a testimony to Himself, which is my understanding in John 8. But still, John 9 is all about witnesses for Jesus, and of course, there were many, like this blind man he gave he sight to:
30 The man answered, “Why, this is an amazing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
The Two Witnesses will have witnesses, too, and they are loved by us and very important. Beyond our council, we have many witnesses and friends who help us, and we thank you.
Really, with the ever increasing darkness, betrayal, and evil in this world, it is getting difficult to find those with the eyes to see and to find those who are not spiritually blind. Yet some see, but they refuse to believe. This is also from John 9:
39 Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no guilt;[d] but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
For a deeper understanding of this verse, this source says:
- According to Jesus' prior statement, those who are willfully ignorant of spiritual matters claim they have knowledge—"sight"—when in reality they're spiritually blind. A major component of Jesus' conflicts with religious leaders was their arrogance. Too often, these men started from the assumption that they knew best, and Jesus could not be true, simply because He didn't agree with them. As Jesus pointed out, that wasn't because God had failed to provide evidence (John 5:36). It was because these men refused to accept the truth (John 5:39–40).
This is all about the more spiritual worldview, which I will be writing more on likely this evening, with the help of Salim, another one of our witnesses.
Going back to the person we are writing about in this post, he "saw" who we were spiritually. He didn't worry about full evidence at the time; rather, he just knew there was truth in our writing, and he took the time to bravely reach out to us, to encourage us, to love us, and to become our friend - a difficult thing!
Being our friend is not easy. Anyone who befriends us notices they then become continuously attacked, and they have to truly join us in our fight. Many of you have become our friends, and now you are fighting with us, and you are bigger targets of Satan than ever before in history.
This friend has stood by me, and I have unloaded my spiritual pains upon him. He has had to help me with my burdens, and he has listened to me and loved me. Often, he is the first I call when I am going through something, as I simply know he will listen quietly and comfort me.
To our third witness, the third witness, we want to say "Happy Birthday." You are valuable, important, and we love you. You are a great man of God, and part of that is because you are always reflecting, never quite satisfied with where you are in the moment. You are always growing, learning, and changing.
You are young, but you are wise, and the Bible reminds us not to "look down upon" the young. You have been going through your battles, but you conquer them all. No matter what, I know you will rise above, and like your dreams have told you, we will always be there for you.
Please, that is what I want you to remember, to our third witness. We will never forsake you or abandon you, and we will always love you and be there for you.
May you have the most beautiful birthday. I pray God blesses you greatly for being our friend, for helping us, your generosity, and your love. Happy birthday! Readers, will you pray for him today?
- Dear Father in Heaven, please bless him (the third witness) and protect him from all evil in Jesus's name! May we always be friends and fight together in this end times battle!
Readers, if you want to become "a third witness" to us, just send an email. We are always seeking friends, but we warn you, once you become our friend, it starts to get a little crazy!
The point of this post, ultimately, is that we know who our friends are, and we love you and appreciate you. Jesus had friends, and so do we. This post isn't just to this man on his birthday (the third witness) - it is to all of you who have stood as a third witness to us and have become our friends. We thank you.

A Loving Rebuke from Jake
Context: This is a rebuke he sent to a community of Christians, and I felt it may be helpful to readers. At times, we do have to do a loving rebuke, and I hope this encourages someone out there to start rebuking someone if necessary!
Rebuke to the “Disciples of Christ” Server
“Open rebuke is better than secret love.” - Proverbs 27:5
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” - Revelation 3:19
Prayer
Please pray this in the name of Jesus Christ that this rebuke may be received with love. In the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus please show me if this rebuke applies to me, what I can do better if so, and where in your word I can seek you for answers. Please tell me in the name of Jesus Christ, with answers only from God, on if what is written within this rebuke is true. Help me have humility and remove any pride in me in the name of Jesus Christ that may interfere with me reading this rebuke, and as well please grant me understanding of what is said Jesus Christ.
Meat of the rebuke
This rebuke primarily concerns false teaching which I think in the server and its members are largely misguided. Still, if anyone is willfully spreading lies or intentionally deceiving others without repentance, I pray Jesus may handle them accordingly to His will in justice rather than mercy, and if they repent that they may receive the mercy of Jesus. To a lesser extent, it concerns the sins of the server members generally that need to be rebuked, and I pray Jesus will convict each member individually of their sins and righteousness through the Holy Spirit (John 16:8), as well as acknowledging to them what they can do better. For the purposes of this rebuke, all verses should be referred to from the KJV, and all the verses are listed at the bottom on Biblegateway and here, here, and here.
The biggest issue I see on the server is misinterpretations of the Bible that lead to things that are sinful and not the fruits of the Holy Spirit. I think the root of the issue is ultimately in the teachers and to a lesser extent in the way that the Bible studies of now are set up. While it is good to have the word of God as it is the sword of spirit as written by Paul in Ephesians 6:17, what good is the word of God to people that use incorrectly and or sow misunderstanding with it? For we must be equipped in the belt of truth (Ephesians 6:14) as well around our loins that we don’t embarrass ourselves in our misunderstandings, confusions, and misinterpretations that we appear naked even to ourselves wielding the word of God without truth and discernment as well.
The sins of false teaching I have primarily observed in the server that need to be addressed publicly are as follows:
Sowing cowardice, hypocrisy, and apathy from false teachings
- Matthew 7:6 is frequently used incorrectly in Bible study.
- Matthew 7:6 is wisdom concerning not preaching nor wasting our time with scoffers, mockers, people who reject the word of God, etc.
It isn’t an excuse for you or anyone else to be cowardly as it concerns preaching the word of God, especially considering that Christ died that we may live, and many saints thereafter have died for Christ to preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).
It’s especially obvious that it is used incorrectly because NOT ONCE have I heard anything about seeking the lost which what Jesus Christ came to do (Luke 19:10) in Bible study.
At the heart of this is thinly veneered cowardice by using the word of God against its original intention, similar to how people will use Matthew 7:1 to say “judge not” when that’s not what the verse means contextually.
If you refuse to seek the lost, you are not emulating Christ in true love, just as Christ came to the world to seek and save the lost.
Saying NOT to pray for all people
The verse (Jeremiah 7:16) used to justify this false teaching is unsurprisingly found in the Old Testament which is of the Old Covenant which we are no longer under.
Yet preaching this in the New Covenant of Jesus Christ with the New Testament is contradictory to Jesus telling us to pray for our enemies in Matthew 5:43-48, even those who hate us and persecute us.
Paul also writes that we should pray for all people (1 Timothy 2:1-8).
How much more then should we be praying for sinners and the lost and all people when God, our Lord Jesus Christ, died for us and our sins to be forgiven when we were enemies to Him? (Romans 5:8-10)
Remind yourselves, we are not under the old law of sin and death but the grace of Jesus Christ, even the law of Spirit and grace which is the New Covenant (Zechariah 12:10, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Matthew 26:28, Romans 8:2, Hebrews 8:10-13, Hebrews 10:29).
Jesus gave us a parable concerning how we are NOT to mix the old covenant with the new covenant.
Specifically, the parable of the old and new wineskins (Matthew 9:16-17) where Jesus is telling us to not mix the traditions of the old covenant with the new covenant as we are not under the old covenant anymore but the new covenant which is freely given to all people who believe, not just the Israelites.
Overly focused on “legalism” which isn’t Christianity nor what Jesus told us to do. Love fulfills the law, but legalism is of a pharisee-esque spirit which is not of grace but of the law of sin and death.
When you look through the gospels, what are the Pharisees usually doing in their interactions with Jesus? Accusing Him, especially trying to find rules in the law to accuse Him with. They accused, lied, scorned, rejected, mocked, etc. Jesus constantly throughout the gospels whenever they were around. Is it any wonder that Jesus called their father the devil (John 8:44-45)? Satan is the accuser (Revelation 12:9-11) and the father of lies, and those who would wish to follow the false doctrine of legalism, constantly accusing one another and twisting the word of God into perverse lies are of the devil and servants of him.
If you are more concerned with rule following and the law than you are with love, you are following Satan and not Jesus Christ because the law is fulfilled by love, and the two commandments Jesus said are the greatest in the law concern love which all the law hangs on (Romans 13:8-10, Matthew 22:36-40).
Or what? Should I not rebuke you for discouraging to seek the lost as Jesus did (Luke 19:10)? Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day, you who are of a pharisee spirit? Read Matthew 12:9-14 and then consider yourself if you love rule following more than Jesus Christ.
Encouragement of confusion and misunderstanding in Bible studies.
The Bible studies are often incoherent, unorganized, and not led by the Holy Spirit seemingly.
My evidence for this is largely the lack of understanding by the teachers when they present the Bible on certain topics, using cherry-picked verses that don’t accurately represent Jesus Christ or the Bible fully often times (see above). Best to avoid the problem of always learning but never coming to the knowledge of truth as stated in 2 Timothy 3:7.
If God is the author of peace, there shouldn’t be constant confusions in the teachers if they are truly operating with the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Furthermore, love as a larger focus seems to be sincerely lacking, especially since Bible studies are more focused on legalism and rule following than on love which the is fulfillment of the whole law (Romans 13:8-10).
It is my sincere discretion that the teachers themselves who teach falsely are misguided (as opposed to outright malicious), but they still should repent and seek to understand the Bible better that they may be seen as ones approved by God, and not by men (Galatians 1:10, 2 Timothy 2:15).
The sins that many of the server members observably act in should also be publicly stated and rebuked:
Many seem to lack love, gentleness, grace, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
While lacking the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) isn’t always sinful as someone can be growing in the Holy Spirit, a lack of love is seriously a failure and sin, and if you don’t love each other, how can you call yourself Christ’s disciples (John 13:35)? Without love you are all nothing, as Paul states (1 Corinthians 13:1-3).
Many of the members are also double minded, self-righteous, and prideful.
I’ve observed many of you going in and out of falsity and truth. There is only God, Jesus Christ, so choose who you serve, Satan or Jesus Christ, and stop being double minded! (James 1:8, James 4:8, 1 Kings 18:21)
Many of you also are self-righteous and prideful, thinking you know everything, how you are so wise, and give no grace to others because of your pride. I would go as far as to say many of you don’t have love for one another because of your pride. (Romans 1:22-32, Proverbs 8:13, Proverbs 13:10, 1 John 2:16)
There is a significant amount of heresies, false gospels, and deception being spread as well.
Concerning this, anyone knowingly or unknowingly, spreading heresies, false gospels, or deceptions especially concerning salvation and the Bible should NOT be considered the hands and feet of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27), but rather the hands and feet of Satan. Because whose kingdom are you adding to and serving? All heresies, false gospels, and deceptions lead straight to hell and only help Satan. Many of you who profess the name of Christ who spread these evils and deceptions are the workers of iniquity currently who Jesus said He would say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” on the day of judgement (Matthew 7:21-23).
Also, specifically concerning this, if I see further heresy, false gospels, and deception being spread after rebuking you doing so more than twice for the same error, I’m not going to respond to you concerning this, as Paul writes that you are self-condemned (Titus 3:9-11). I’m not obligated to respond to scoffers, and I am not going to generally speaking. While I do love you and hope for your repentance, if it is necessary to for you to repent, I pray Jesus may give you over to Satan just as Paul did (1 Corinthians 5:3-5).
Conclusion
What fruit does cowardice, hypocrisy, apathy, legalism, confusion, misunderstanding produce? Bad fruit (Matthew 7:16-20). Are such things not sowed by the devil himself? Why then do you strive to imitate the devil in his sin, and not Christ in His love seeking continual repentance and the truth of His holy word? All sin works death, but Godly sorrow and repentance works onto life eternal (2 Corinthians 7:10).
The devil and his demons know the law, and they use the law concerning sin to attack and enter into people’s bodily temples (1 John 3:4, 1 Corinthians 15:56). So how are you, those who profess the name of Jesus Christ, any better than devils if you have not love for God nor one another (James 2:19)? Therefore, repent of legalism especially as love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14) and we are under the grace of God and not the burden of the law of sin and death who no one could uphold without sin, save Jesus Christ (Romans 8:2). Love God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are all God, with your full mind, heart, soul, body, and love your neighbors as yourselves as you were commanded by Jesus Christ (Matthew 22:36-40).
In light of this rebuke, let us remember that love holds no record of wrongdoing (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Let’s focus on being better for Christ especially in love and in truth that we be seen as ones approved by Him (2 Timothy 2:15). If anyone has sinned, I pray that Jesus will forgive their sins and wash them away with His own blood (Revelation 1:5, Luke 17:3-4), for we have all sinned, even me Jake, the author of this rebuke, and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). But we must continue to strive towards repentance of sin (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9), to lead holy, righteous, and sanctified lives through the abounding grace and help of Jesus Christ, as we are inheritors of His righteousness (Romans 8:16-17), and it is not of ourselves (Isaiah 64:6, John 1:12-13).
Again, I will say, I don’t think those who are teaching Bible studies are doing so with malice, but they should repent regardless, especially if what I am writing is true and they are teaching falsely, whether out of ignorance or deception (Romans 16:17-18, 1 John 4:1-4, Colossians 2:8). The Bible warns us to not be deceived, and I think it is duly possible that there are ignorant as well as malicious actors concerning the handling of the word of God. And for the teachers’ sake, I pray for their repentance as well in the name of Jesus Christ as teachers receive the greater condemnation for sin (James 3:1).
Concluding Prayer
Jesus, if people hate me for this rebuke or are otherwise bitter, rude, or resentful towards me for it, I pray you will convict them of their sins, Jesus Christ, and lead them to repentance. If they will not repent and continue to do evil towards me, Jesus, I pray that you may handle them according to your will Jesus, as vengeance belongs to God. For those that repent upon hearing this rebuke, I pray that you will bless them sevenfold, my Lord Jesus Christ, that their hearts may be filled with love and their bodily temples with the Holy Spirit, instead of confusion, sin, and demonic influence. I pray as well Jesus that you will lift the scales from their eyes, give them ears to hear, and hearts to understand, your word and this rebuke. If anyone wishes to agitate me or cause quarreling with me concerning this rebuke Jesus, I pray that you will personally rebuke and handle them Jesus Christ according to your will, for many have hardened hearts. Thank you, Jesus, for helping me write this rebuke and refreshing me in your holy word, and for encouraging me to do this difficult and frustrating work. Praise be to Jesus Christ for He is good and merciful, and does justice against those who are evil without repentance. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray all of this, and I pray as well Jesus that you will help us love you as much as you love us, and love each other as you love, Jesus.

Judgement Begins in the House of the Lord
JUNE 17, 2024 2:33 PM J. HOWEY
9-16-2024 – 3 a.m.
Finishing up a 9 day fast, and the first morning, Sunday, after the fast, The Lord woke me up at 3 a.m. and said “Judgment Begins in the House of the Lord” and I tried to go back to sleep. He said, “NO, get up a write!” This has never happened before, in this way to me. (The Lord waking me up). My body has been led by weak shepherds who do not stand against the evil of the day. They have stood in the pulpits across America in silence as innocents are slaughtered each minute across the U.S. They have stood in silence as her borders are overrun, refusing to sound the alarm and a call to repentance.
Over a million people have dropped dead in the U.S. alone or “Died Suddenly” from the C Shots yet the pulpits are silent. 17 Million worldwide have gone to meet Me and many daily are finding they had no more time! The C-Shot tech is killing them. Yet the pulpits are silent by and large.
When My Church is led by weak, self-serving excuses for shepherds, pastors, bishops and overseers, it’s no wonder that most not only have not stood against the evil of the time, but many have willingly bowed to the Master of Fear – Fear of Man, Fear of Government, Fear of Standing Alone!! Standing alone with Me, the Lord of the Universe is NOT ALONE!
Had they stood, as very few did, they would have seen Me blessing their flocks and ministries. Instead, the one talent they have will be stripped away, and they will be required to give an account for NOT STANDING against evil, which I abhor!!! THE DAY has arrived!!
Judgment Begins in MY House! Prepare to Give an Account! Yhwh
Ps 1a – Blessed is the man[a]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
[And then God continued]
This is an indictment of My shepherds appointed by Me to lead MY Sheep. FEED MY SHEEP!
To Guard the Gate and not let the wolves in! John 10:1-18
But they would have none of it. They are imposters who have sold their souls to some other god than Me. You say, I did NOT! Nay, you slept in fear of reprisal and shut your mouths while your own flock bowed to fear, and you bowed too! You refused to stand, so, in e ect, by not standing, you walked in the council of the wicked.
By not sounding the alarm, you stood in the path of sinners who cower in fear, crying to not tell a man What NOT to do with his own body. If a man were about to drink poison, wouldn’t you stop him? If a man were about to walk o a cli , would you cry out and try to stop him? If a man were to leave his family and walk with the harlot, would you warn him earnestly?
Such is the will of the heart who does not warn in the evil day. Weak, compromised, fearful and worthless to Me. You mouth empty words.
I AM stripping the flocks of those who have not stood at the Gate of My Church against the evil of today, NOW!
Now is the Day of Judgment upon MY shepherds!
Humble Yourselves and Repent!
And Do MY WILL! Will it be easy? NO!
Will you lose church members? Yes! Do you fear Me or men?
Choose you this day Whom you will serve!!!
Judgment Begins in the House of the Lord!

Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
The difficulties that you are facing will begin to sort themselves out. But, you must be patient. It could take more time than you anticipate. Just know that you are on the right track. Impatience will only slow your progress and cause frustration. Stay calm and focused as you place your trust and hope in Me, says the Lord. I am well able to bring you through. Romans 12:11-12...not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer.
Conclusion - Prayer and What's Coming from Witness 2
- Dear Father in Heaven,
- I pray we make more true friends and witnesses in Jesus's name. Please send the true ones to us in Jesus's name. Please protect us and bless our day in Jesus's name.
Now, I have a prophecy update coming and a post regarding the more spiritual worldview. Not sure when these will be done, but check back tonight or in the morning.
Thank you all, sincerely, who have been a third witness to us! Happy birthday to the third witness!
With love,
Witness 2
