Life Recovery Ministry | Using the Bible for recovery and significant life changes

Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus. Thank you for allowing me to share God's Words and what He is showing me. Thank you for desiring to hear the voice of the Lord.

As I was studying the Word, The Berean focused my attention on Amos 4:1-3. Since God has been leading me to fucus my attention on helping those who oppress the poor to see things differently, I decided to spend some time in sharing my thoughts and others on this significant issue. I hope you see the message.

Amos 4:1-3

1"Listen to me, you "fat cows" of Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy and who are always asking your husbands for another drink! 2The Sovereign LORD has sworn this by his holiness: "The time will come when you will be led away with hooks in your noses. Every last one of you will be dragged away like a fish on a hook! 3You will leave by going straight through the breaks in the wall; you will be thrown from your fortresses.[a] I, the LORD, have spoken!"

"Cows of Bashan" (Amos 4:1-4) is a figure or symbol for the Israelite women in Samaria. Amos implies that these women are the trendsetters and leaders in Israelite society, a course Judah also took before she fell (Isaiah 3:12) 12"Children oppress my people, and women rule over them. O my people, can't you see what fools your rulers are? They are leading you down a pretty garden path to destruction." Apparently, when nations degenerate, leaders of society, who should be setting the standards, are replaced by women and children (or the immature), who, Isaiah says, cause them to err, and destroy the way of their paths.

In the United States, women have traditionally been the guardians of moral standards. In general, women have had high standards, while many men have held double standards. Amos, however, shows that the women of his day had slipped so far that they were "leading the pack" in immorality. And in America, the same is true: Women are becoming just as immoral as men. Between 1990 and 1991, according to the Uniform Crime Reports for the United States, the female crime rate increased 15.2 percent while the male crime rate increased by 17.4 percent.

Apparently, God built safeguards into women to ensure that some measure of right ideals, standards, and practices are passed on to the next generation. This gives a measure of stability to a society. Men, with their mind-set of aggressive ambition and their desire to compete and conquer, tend to focus on achievement, often at the expense of morality and ethics. In general, women are not designed for this role, and when they begin to fill it, a nation is on its way down very rapidly.

Besides this, a growing number of women today pursue full-time career positions for reasons of "fulfillment," personal ambition, and social advancement, diminishing their high calling as wives and mothers. Womanhood, marriage, and homemaking [(Titus 2:5) 5"to live wisely and be pure, to take care of their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God."] have become subservient to the selfish accumulation of things. Unfortunately, many women have to work these days just to make ends meet. Primarily, Amos is speaking to the selfish, power-hungry, ruthless women we often see portrayed on television and in movies.

Amos impolitely calls them a very demeaning name: a bunch of well-fed cows. Like cows, they are just following the herd. They are content with an animal existence; that is, they are completely carnal in their outlook (Romans 8:5-7) 5"Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. 7For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws, and it never will." Their concern is only for the beautification, care, and satiation of their own bodies. They live only for themselves, not for God. Isaiah captures their attitude in a wordcomplacent (Isaiah 32:9-11) 9"Listen, you women who lie around in lazy ease. Listen to me, and I will tell you of your reward. 10In a short time--in just a little more than a year--you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crop will fail, and the harvest will never take place. 11Tremble, you women of ease; throw off your unconcern. Strip off your pretty clothes, and wear sackcloth in your grief."

Like their husbands, these cows of Bashan oppress the poor and crush the needy. By demanding more things, they push their husbands to succeedat the expense of the weak. With the attitude shown in this passage, though, they probably did not care as long as their "needs" were met.

The word translated "fishhooks" (verse 2) is quite obscure in the Hebrew, but it suggests that these lazy women will be herded into captivity. Some have suggested it means carried away on the shields of their enemies or pulled on a leash.

In any case, those who formerly lay on the beds of ivory and on plush couches, pandering to themselves, will be led in humiliation through Samaria and into slavery. Isaiah also describes the same scene in Isaiah 3:16-26 16"Next the LORD will judge the women of Jerusalem, who walk around with their noses in the air, with tinkling ornaments on their ankles. Their eyes rove among the crowds, flirting with the men. 17The Lord will send a plague of scabs to ornament their heads. Yes, the LORD will make them bald for all to see! 18The Lord will strip away their artful beauty--their ornaments, headbands, and crescent necklaces; 19their earrings, bracelets, and veils of shimmering gauze. 20Gone will be their scarves, ankle chains, sashes, perfumes, and charms; 21their rings, jewels, 22party clothes, gowns, capes, and purses; 23their mirrors, linen garments, head ornaments, and shawls. 24Instead of smelling of sweet perfume, they will stink. They will wear ropes for sashes, and their well-set hair will fall out. They will wear rough sackcloth instead of rich robes. Their beauty will be gone. Only shame will be left to them. 25The men of the city will die in battle. 26The gates of Jerusalem will weep and mourn. The city will be like a ravaged woman, huddled on the ground."

Because of their oppression and their haughty self-concern, their riches and beauty will be stripped away, and they will be left with nothing.

I see this happening to over over a dozen women who are homeless on Waikiki Beach.

Please forgive our representatives who are angry with you. They often are loud and use harsh words because they care about us. Even Jesus turned over the money changers tables and called the Pharisees, the churches of his day, "snakes, vipers and hypocrites", but He did so for a reason. When our representatives, Pastor Bob Erb, lawyer Randolph J. Amen and/or brother Todd Morikawa seemed too loud, intense, emotional or even disorderly to you, please know they are just trying to get a message to you. Your way of helping us is insufficient. You should listen to them.

31"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34Then the King will say to those on the right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.'

37"Then these righteous ones will reply, `Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?' 40And the King will tell them, `I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[a] you were doing it to me!'

41"Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, `Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! 42For I was hungry, and you didn't feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn't give me anything to drink. 43I was a stranger, and you didn't invite me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

44"Then they will reply, `Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?' 45And he will answer, `I assure you, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.' 46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life."

Our representatives are doing what the Bible commands. They treat us like Jesus Christ himself. They are sheep. You are goats. If you really want to help us homeless, than heed them; do not criticize them because they dont fit your concept of civility.

If you do not want to help us restore our civil rights, if you dont want to feed us, house us, pray for us, comfort us, then dont. But please dont act like you care for us and then treat our representatives so inappropriately. If they are angry at you, it is probably for good reason. You are being a goat.

[We would ask the many homeless of Waikiki to add their names under the word "HOMELESS" on this letter and when we get enough, send it to Lingle, Cox, the ACLU lady, the guy who criticized the Petition, Ms. Viotta of the Honolulu Advertiser, and other "goats"]

Dear Everyone I Know,

Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus. As I am preparing for a presentation for a meeting with other pastors and leaders who desire to DO something about the homeless in Hawaii, I was reminded about what led me into establishing the Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry. I study the Bible most every day, and early in 2003, God seemed to show me clearly what I needed to do in a new vocation (I had been an engineer who helped build 8 nuclear power station). Because I had a desire to serve Father God and be a disciple of Christ Jesus, than new vocation turned out to be taking care of the needs of others, and not to focus any attention on me anymore. The following Scripture told me what I had to do. I hope it touches some heart today.

The Final Judgment

THE FINAL JUDGMENT

Ultimately we will be accountable to God on judgment day. We will be responsible not only for our own recovery but also for how we have helped others. The last step in recovery is to tell others about our recovery and encourage them in the recovery process. Since Jesus identifies himself with those who suffer, we should follow His example and be especially alert to the needs of others.

The judgment.

This is a description of the last judgment. It is as an explanation of the former parables. There is a judgment to come, in which every man shall be sentenced to a state of everlasting happiness, or misery. Christ shall come, not only in the glory of his Father, but in his own glory, as Mediator. The wicked and godly here dwell together, in the same cities, churches, families, and are not always to be known the one from the other; such are the weaknesses of saints, such the hypocrisies of sinners; and death takes both: but in that day they will be parted for ever. Jesus Christ is the great Shepherd; he will shortly distinguish between those that are his, and those that are not. All other distinctions will be done away; but the great one between saints and sinners, holy and unholy, will remain for ever. The happiness the saints shall possess is very great. It is a kingdom; the most valuable possession on earth; yet this is but a faint resemblance of the blessed state of the saints in heaven. It is a kingdom prepared. The Father provided it for them in the greatness of his wisdom and power; the Son purchased it for them; and the blessed Spirit, in preparing them for the kingdom, is preparing it for them. It is prepared for them: it is in all points adapted to the new nature of a sanctified soul. It is prepared from the foundation of the world. This happiness was for the saints, and they for it, from all eternity. They shall come and inherit it. What we inherit is not got by ourselves. It is God that makes heirs of heaven. We are not to suppose that acts of bounty will entitle to eternal happiness. Good works done for God's sake, through Jesus Christ, are here noticed as marking the character of believers made holy by the Spirit of Christ, and as the effects of grace bestowed on those who do them. The wicked in this world were often called to come to Christ for life and rest, but they turned from his calls; and justly are those bid to depart from Christ, that would not come to him. Condemned sinners will in vain offer excuses. The punishment of the wicked will be an everlasting punishment; their state cannot be altered. Thus life and death, good and evil, the blessing and the curse, are set before us, that we may choose our way, and as our way so shall our end be.

Understanding the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats lies in their surprised responses. Both the sheep and the goats respond, "When did we see you in need and help you?"(verses 37-39, 44). This parable contains two lessons.

The first lesson is that neither the sheep nor the goats are surprised at the place Christ assigns them. A careful reading of the parable shows that clearly. They do not respond to the place that Christ assigns them, but they express surprise at the reasons He gives for His judgment. A vital question to Christians is, on what does He base his judgment? The basis of His judgment is how they treated Christ! Of course, their treatment of Christ manifests itself in how they treated those in whom Christ lived, those who had His Spirit.

The second lesson is no less important than the first. Jesus, our Judge, eliminates the possibility of hypocrisy obscuring His judgment of the sheep and the goats. If the goats had thought that treating their brothers in the faith would have gotten them into the Kingdom, they would have done it. What is the lesson? Jesus is interested in love from the heart, not a false love.

The true love of God is seen in the sheep. As the sheep respond to their brother's need, they are united in their distress and at the same time unwittingly, unconsciously, without hypocrisy, align themselves with Christ. Apparently, they are not even aware of what they were doing. This is a kind of love that cannot be faked or put on. "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35).

The reaction of the goats is quite different. They have little sympathy for God's way and remain indifferent, Laodicean, to their brethren. In so doing, they reject their Messiah, their King, since He lived in the people whom they would not serve. The goats are condemned because of their sins of omission.

Because they had developed their relationship with Christ through prayer, Bible study, fasting, and obedience, the sheep have love through a regular infusion of the Spirit of God. "The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Romans 5:5). A godly life always comes down to the basic things. The sheep are simply unconsciously and unaffectedly good, kind, sympathetic, and concerned, attributes of character that cannot be feigned.

Thank you for reading the message. God bless you and your family.

Your brother in Christ,

Bob Erb @ www.waikikibeachoutreach.org

Thank you for inviting Pastor Bob Erb to speak at your gathering tomorrow. He has asked me to prepare some materials for distribution there. I am attaching two of the items that I have prepared tonight. Pastor Bob advises me that he also will be bringing some materials.

I am emailing you tonight as a courtesy to give you to give you a heads up on what we are planning to do, if we have your permission. The Waikiki Beach Outreach Ministry is the only church and organization that delivers meals to the homeless where they work and/or live in Waikiki five to six days a week while providing counseling, referrals, ministering, legal services and inspiration to help them get off the streets and back to productive lives. Pastor Bob and I both have been homeless and thus know what it is like.

Todd Morikawa advised that you are a very good man and that we should come tomorrow and hopefully meet and talk to you and the others there and ask for your support as well as provide same for other doers, not just talkers and users, in the community.

I am looking forward to meeting you and working with you if that is God's intent.

--Randolph J. Amen, J.D., a Director of the Waikiki Beach Outreach MInistry and friend of Pastor Bob Erb and Todd Morikawa

WE THE PEOPLE, lawful residents of the United States of America and born in or naturalized by the United States of America, thus as citizens or lawful residents allegedly and claiming to be protected by the United States Constitution, hereby REDRESS OUR GRIEVANCES by PEACEABLY ASSEMBLING and PROCLAIMING UNDER OUR FREE SPEECH RIGHTS, knowing that to tell a falsehood is wrong and even possibly actionable, that the STATE OF HAWAII REFUSES BY ACT, DEED OR OMISSION, TO PROTECT US from (1) unlawful racism, (2) prejudicial discrimination against our previous condition of servitude, (3) prejudicial discrimination against our disabilities, (4) prejudicial discrimination against us for our impecuniousness, and/or (5) prejudicial discrimination against us by virtue of our place of national origin, in almost all cases being, the United States of America.

WE HOLD local agencies of government as well as private corporations, individuals and so-called "do-good" private organizations receiving grants and thus often looting from the public treasury, TO BE RESPONSIBLE for said acts, deeds or omissions, often fraudulent in nature, which the State of Hawaii is required by law to supervise, regulate or otherwise monitor and report honestly to the People, through their representatives or otherwise.

WE FIND that the State of Hawaii sees no evil, hears no evil, and fails to listen to justified and deserving complainants to such evil.

WE PUT ON NOTICE President Bush, Governor Lingle, our federal representatives in Congress, our state representatives in the state legislature, the U.S. Attorney, the State Attorney General, the City and County Prosecutor, the Chief of Police and the Judiciary Branch of government that if no entity of government will correct the abuse, then we reserve our right to correct the abuse ourselves by any lawful means necessary, including but not limited to, the same thing Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson did in defending against imminent arrest, as is our right under the Declaration of Independence and Human Rights Declarations embodied under International Law.

Specifically, WE WANT the PREJUDICIAL HARASSMENT OF OURSELVES STOPPED, including, but not limited to, (1) denying us the inherent constitutional right to sleep in public places due to unlawfully being denied housing; (2) the right to be free from prejudicial discrimination in housing; (3) the right to be free from prejudicial discrimination in employment; (4) the right to be free from police misconduct, including but not limited to, threatening arrest which would be tantamount to false arrest; (5) the right of service of process on (a) police and (b) so-called "do-good organizations" who (a) evade lawful service or (b) simply dont appear in court when lawfully served, who, by virtue of both the police and do-good organizations being supported by the state, apparently having some sort of pass from the judiciary as an immunity from bench warrants for this unlawful behavior when we, the citizens and/or taxpayers, who pay their salaries, have no practical recourse if we fail to appear as witnesses in similar circumstances, a fortiari, will be arrested, sanctioned, penalized or a good cause goes defaulted; (6) the right to be free from the State of Hawaii holding up our drivers licenses, or other licenses or permits, for gainful employment or otherwise, with our right to engage in commerce, interstate or otherwise, to make a living, due to ancient traffic prosecutorial state action brought against us in another state or unlawful deeds by others in this state, whether the state action of another state or this state is construed to be lawful or otherwise, thus jeopardizing our ability in this state to make amends and restitution in other states, if in fact warranted; (7) the right to make a living; (8) the right to adequate facilities for us to maintain proper hygiene, when unlawfully denied housing; and, (9) the right to have deferred taxation and debt collection when we are unlawfully deprived employment or unduly and improperly burdened when we engage in commerce in this state, particularly when the taxation in question serves to aid and abet do-gooder organizations that loot the public treasury and serve no purpose to the disadvantaged except to further our aggravation and sense of alienation.

WE FURTHER WANT anti-American individual racists, interlopers, nullifiers, obstructionists, originists, sexists, anti-religionists, anti-disabled people, anti-immigrant people and other hate mongers and state agents (1) in present concert or (2) under the present protection of the State of Hawaii, to CEASE AND DESIST from prejudicially discriminating or taking retaliatory action against our SPOKESPEOPLE AND REPRESENTATIVES when those spokespersons and representatives act to advocate our legal positions or lawful causes.

SPECIFICALLY, the STATE OF HAWAII must CEASE AND DESIST from further acts of unconstitutional and/or (1) unlawful harassment, (2) selective enforcement; (3) prejudicial discrimination, (4) de-licensing, (5) de-housing by (a) unlawful eviction or (b) unlawful denial of Section 8 benefits, (6) dispossessing without compensation by (a) unconstitutionally or unlawfully seizing, secreting and/or storing personal property or by (b) unlawfully foreclosing or blackballing on real property, (7) trespassing, (8) seizing and converting client files or copies thereof, (9) denying due process, (10) unlawfully denying or unreasonably delaying access to publicly held records, (11) blackballing in (a) housing, (b) employment, (c) public services, (d) commercial leasing, (e) contracts and (f) the purchasing of real estate; and/or (11) suspending or unlawfully keeping suspended LAWYERS who have lawfully come to our aid and defense through attempting peaceful actions at law and in equity in our behalf.

IN ADDITION, SPECIFICALLY, the STATE OF HAWAII must CEASE AND DESIST unconstitutional or unlawful (1) disrupting, (2) threatening arrest, (3) chilling free speech, and (4) threatening homelessness against our PASTORS who have likewise aided us and defended us and who, through the Free Exercise Clause of the U.S. and Hawaii Constitutions, must answer Christs call to minister to us, when we are (1) beaten, (2) robbed, (3) deprived of our dignity, (4) raped, (5) declared mentally incompetent when we are not, (6) falsely arrested, (7) falsely imprisoned, (7) deprived of our (a) Constitutional, (b) Patient or (c) Civil Rights up until now and hereafter in violation of the Establishment Clause in that committing the aforementioned acts or omissions through enforcement or even encouragement by state action, the state attempts to establish an atheist and secularist religion with unlawful dominance in society to replace all other religions along with the spiritual comfort and inspiration contained therein for the morality of the citizens of the nation and state and for the nation and state, since these governmental entities refuse to teach morality in our schools any longer and thus we citizens (and youth) have no recourse but through our free exercise of religion if it hasnt been de-established in favor of an immoral religion establishment.

WITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE, we seek to promote human rights in this state and thus want no money damages for ourselves and no loss of reputation for those cutthroats that have murdered our brothers and sisters or otherwise driven them into suicide, insanity or other poor health, but only that THE LAW BE OBEYED as to us and all those still living and similarly situated, with adequate enforcement and rehabilitative mechanisms in place, to prevent retaliatory, further and/or future abuse of power and authority by the unlawful acts of individuals, businesses, organizations or state agents.

WE SUGGEST that the three branches of government check and balance each other as the Constitution of the state and federal government require, not band together in conspiracy against the unlawfully disenfranchised and vulnerable citizenry, as in other tyrannies of the world.

THOSE WHO DO NOTHING are inviting SHAME to our country and state, and ultimately encourage violence, as to ourselves, in the form of possible continued suicide, since WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN FORCE OF ARMS AGAINST ANYONE and will not bear arms, although constitutionally permissible, particularly under these circumstances under our Second Amendment right. We leave to others, who will not sign this document for fear of identification and reprisal due to their past violence or past criminal acts, to do what they must do, which may involve violence or anything else that may be of an unlawful nature, which we disavow, but like the CIA which disavows its criminal actions in foreign countries, we may secretly approve and even admire, since it shows that someone has the courage of his or her appropriately constitutionally righteous convictions, not outlaw convictions, unlike leaders of our federal, state and local vintage, who may lack conviction, conscience or even any semblance of Americanism.

WE PETITON BUT ALSO DEMAND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS so that Hawaii can rightfully take its place as a sister state of the United States of America, not as an outlaw state or a Third World oligarchy as a "state" in name only, blissfully and unthinkingly contemplating its ornate navel in a cornucopia of investment wealth, sunshine, tourism and coconuts.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED, who as good citizens watch out for the citizenry and the tourists by monitoring night activity in public places and cooperate with the GOOD POLICEMEN AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS*, if anyone in our vicinity is threatened or victimized, DO HEREBY SIGN this PETITON TO STOP RACISM AND OTHER PREJUDICE IN HAWAII and by doing so, pledge our lives, our sacred honor and the property that has been stolen from us, if applicable, the police report of which the police refuse to take and/or investigate, and when and if they do, wherein, fail to arrest and bring to justice the obvious perpetrator(s) and/or those that have obviously acted with a blind eye or in tandem, concert, complicity or conspiracy with the perpetrator(s), thus at least obstructing justice and at most endangering the lives and property of the residents and tourists of Hawaii which is what we would obviously like to reverse as good citizens of this beautiful land.

TO THE SIGNERS: PLEASE SIGN, AND THEN PRINT YOUR NAME AND DATE ON THE LINES TO THE SIDE OF YOUR SIGNATURE. IF YOU FEAR REPRISAL FROM THE STATE OF HAWAII OR BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW WHICH SAYS YOU CAN BE LIABLE OR MADE INTO A CRIMINAL UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT OR ANY OTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATUTE MISDEFINING WRONG ACTS TANTAMOUNT TO A RUBRIC OF TREASON, FOR EXERCISING YOUR RIGHT TO SIGN THIS PETITION, WHICH IS YOUR UNDENIABLE AND INALIENABLE RIGHT, NO MATTER WHAT LAW SAYS OTHERWISE, YOU MAY (1) EXCLUDE YOUR LAST NAME (MUST STILL SIGN WITH YOUR FIRST TO SHOW AUTHENTICITY), (2) USE A NICKNAME, AND (3) YOU MAY EXCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS OR ANY OTHER IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS. WHEN IN DOUBT, ALWAYS CONSULT WITH A LAWYER OR DO NOT SIGN AT ALL.
