Tom Briggs - Salt Ministries Dear friends and enemies, Many who have come against us, before they began to publicly slander us, believed that myself and UBM were a good and righteous ministry. Is this schizophrenia? In a way. It is rejection and selfish ambition that perverts the thinking so quickly. I would caution anyone who has seen this kind of stuff to look at the facts. They most often offer slander without witnesses or sin. What do the witnesses say? {Pro.18:17} He that pleadeth his cause first [seemeth] just; But his neighbor cometh and searcheth him out. Many times God draws these "ministries" against us for a purpose. {Mic.4:11} And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion. {12} But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor. {13} Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. We pray in each case that this is not for the destruction of souls but flesh of the old man. We pray that souls will walk away from this as better for the experience. But those who do not repent will die spiritually and/or physically. Get your swords, saints, and fight on the side of the Lord and His Word! Don't be afraid of a few arrows out of darkness in your back! {Psa.11:2} For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. What they do to the least of Jesus' brethren they do to Him. {Psa.22:1} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [Why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my groaning? ... {6} But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people. ... {8} Commit [thyself] unto Jehovah; Let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him. ... {12} Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. {13} They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion. {14} I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. {15} My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death. {16} For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
Your servant in Christ,
These Judases once all loved feeding from our teachings and materials, as witnesses well know. {Joh.13:17} If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. {18} I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me. As we can see, their problem is being a hearer of the Word while not doing the Word. This causes them to lift up their heel to crush the body of Christ. This is what separates the Judases from the disciples, as tares from the wheat. The tares will walk after their lusts of defilement because they cannot bear the fruit of Christ. Even though we all hate to see them fall away, it is necessary for the body to be sanctified. Read The Son of Perdition. As we have seen, slanderers, railers and liars cannot enter the Kingdom of God. It is my Father who wrote these words of Scripture, Whom they do not fear, believe nor obey. On the other hand, saints, or "sanctified ones", dwell in the Kingdom of God for they abide in Jesus Who is the Word. When corrected by the Word, Judas went to Jezebel to crucify Jesus. History always repeats. The only people who would believe Judas are evil, for "An evil doer giveth heed to lying lips". We have no fear that righteous people will follow the Judases and Jezebels. It cannot happen, for they are not born of the same father and therefore they look quite different. Let us see if this is true. I have been criticized by Judases that I have pointed out by dreams and the Word that they will die. I have said that this is happening spiritually and can end up in physical death. Whereas they have been ministered to in love, some for years, they have chosen lies, unforgiveness and hatred when corrected, which is easily seen in their videos and writings even before they fall out with you. The righteous see these things and they are exceedingly sorry and go to their father. {Mat.18:31} So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. {32} Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: {33} shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? {34} And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. {35} So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. Notice that their unforgiveness turns them over to demons who in turn HATE the righteous and cannot have peace with them. So these spirits will be manifested in them as HATRED towards the righteous. {1Jn.3:13} Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you. {14} We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. {15} Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. But like Judas, it is themselves they are killing, for they "abideth in death" and as we have seen they cannot enter life with those sins. This death is increasingly manifesting them, for everything they learned by Word and example has been forgotten through criticism and hatred. Historically, I have seen this happen with every railer against us. They fall away and are sick in their bodies and dying or dead. Only those who love and know God and are born of Him. The rest have a different father and his nature is in them. {4:7} Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. {8} He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. {9} Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him. {10} Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins. {11} Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. {12} No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us ... {16} And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him. Notice that God is not in those who hate and cannot love. This hatred in them twists everything into a lie. They cannot tell the truth for they cannot keep the commandment of love. {2:4} He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. These people do not love God but their true father from whom they are being begotten. As in the parable of the sower, the Word from heaven is the seed of God in us and the word from Hell is the seed of Satan in them. {4:20} If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen. {21} And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. Look at their fruit and you can tell if they are lying. If there is hatred and their mouth is opened, they are liars. It is necessary for the body to be crucified by Judas and their Jezebel, harlot system. Saints, we cannot die but they cannot do anything else but die for it is in their nature to be like their father. We will all walk in the steps of our Father and they will crucify us. Lying witnesses, who claimed to be the people of God, sent Jesus and the apostles to their deaths. Some have told me that they went to the sites of these people and came away feeling sick. You cannot feed at the table of Satan's lies without being affected or infected. Don't worry, when they are through separating the tares unto themselves through their lies, we will shine forth in the kingdom of our Father as a spotless and blemishless bride. They who are "forsaking the right way" are the "spots and blemishes" among us. {2Pe.2:12} But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed, {13} suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; [men] that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you; {14} having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing; {15} forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the [son] of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing. ... {21} For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. {22} It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire. Those who work so hard to divide people unto themselves for lustful purposes are doing the kingdom a service. {1Co.11:19} For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you. Birds of a feather flock together. "An evil doer giveth heed to lying lips". By these liars, God is first separating the tares into bundles to burn them so that the righteous will then shine forth in the kingdom of our Father. {Mat.13:30} Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. ... {37} And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; {38} and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one]; {39} and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. {40} As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. {41} The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, {42} and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. {43} Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. Notice that Father is gathering out of His Kingdom those that do iniquity and cause others to stumble. The Bride will not be finished until this process is. Take courage and the sword of the spirit to fight the good fight of the faith. {Mat.5:11} Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Love,
I was seeking the Lord as to how to pray for those who are persecuting and slandering UBM. The Lord answered my prayers and led me to Jeremiah 11:14-23. {Jer.11:14} Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me because of their trouble. {15} What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. {16} Jehovah called thy name, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. {17} For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal. (Serving another Jesus.) {18} And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou showedst me their doings. {19} But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. {20} But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judgest righteously, who triest the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause. {21} Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou die not by our hand; {22} therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine; {23} and there shall be no remnant unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. (Also read Willful Disobedience Brings Death.) It certainly appears that the Lord has determined to bring judgment on those railing against us. Notice that verse 22 says: therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will punish them. It is God Himself Who will punish. This punishment will be at the discretion of the Lord, not man. These verses were given by the Lord as His answer to my question of Him. He alone is stating this, not any man. I am greatly concerned for those coming against UBM. Since the Lord said what He will do, I can only hope and believe in faith for their repentance, that the judgment only be against the flesh of the old man, that their spirits may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Lord, please have mercy.
Your servant in Christ,
(David's notes in red) The types and shadows of history are repeating, saints. Here is an e-mail exchange that came about after I read the All Walk in the Steps of Their Father article above in our local assembly. Don wrote: David, It is hard to put to words what I was feeling last night. I had no idea that you and UBM were under such an attack. God spoke to me last night. It was small and a bit confusing at first. While we were all singing, I felt moved to open my Bible. My fingers just picked a page and my eyes fell on {Mat.26:47} And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people. {48} Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him. Like I said, at first I was a bit confused and was wondering why I was lead to read that verse. I felt uneasy the rest of the night until you started reading what you had written about the Judas spirit.
Love in Christ My Reply: Thanks Don, This is happening now. Judas has his work to crucify those whom God will use. The betrayer who ate my bread and lifts up his heel against me leads the pack of assassins. He is hanging himself with his own hands, representing works, just like Judas did. Another brother in the same meeting saw a vision of this man being choked by an evil entity from behind with a chain around his neck, cutting his breath off and pulling him back into darkness. We are of course grieved at this revelation. He came to us out of darkness and we fought with him against his enemies, also just as it was with Judas.
Blessings, (Mat.12:43) But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. (44) Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation. It is so important that we don't just clean our vessel but allow it to be filled to overflowing with the pure manna, wine and oil!
In CHRIST, Paul wrote: Hi David, I believe this will encourage you. This morning when I was about to get in my car, the Lord dropped in my spirit. "The Lord is removing the Saul ministries to bring in the David ministries". I remembered hearing that in some of your teachings and reading it in one of your books. Let's get ready for what the Lord is about to do.
Blessings in the Lord Jesus, Reply: While Saul was seeking to find and kill David in the wilderness, David was fighting the battle for God's people against the Amalekites. Then we see that the Saul ministry and all his died at the hands of the Philistines, representing the old man, before the David ministries are anointed King at the beginning of the tribulation. Like Judas, Saul killed himself with his own hands. This is like the Korah rebellion, who were swallowed up alive by the earth because of their own rebellion against the ordained authority. The earth represents the old man of the flesh who was created from the earth. They are becoming totally overcome or swallowed up by their flesh so all can see that they are dead and the rest will follow the Davids.
Brethren, Many righteous saints are replying to these factious slanderers' emails, telling them to take them off their email lists. We know because they have copied to us. We agree with this. Why listen to the devil? Here is one I received as I wrote this:
Your email below is devoid of God's love. A person only needs to read the words you're writing and the words David is writing to discern who is behind each of you. Since your words are full of hate and condemnation and David's are aimed at reconciliation, it is apparent that the spirit that is operating through you right now is from below and David's spirit is from above. This is scriptural. "A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse". {Rom.16:17} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. {18} For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. Once you tell them to not send you any more of their lying emails, the next one you receive is harassment and against federal law. God said to obey every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake. He said governments were there for punishing evil doers (Romans 13). It is a federal offense to harass people by email or on the Internet. Many have asked them to stop this and their lies and slander all over the Internet. Once they continue, they are breaking federal law and so God's law. Here is what I wrote to the first lawbreaker:
On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 6:32 AM, David Eells wrote: Just as I was writing this, the lawbreaker sent this to me:
On 1/8/11 2:13 PM, "Tom Briggs" wrote: This reply after the request is breaking federal law. It is obvious he is not taking orders from the God who wrote the Bible. A friend from another state who loved UBM and had gone to law school consulted his lawyer friends and then totally on his own spoke to the FBI concerning us and the federal harassment laws. The FBI surprised me with a call and I was told to collect all the emails from the beginning, concerning the slander attacks on us, our requests for them to cease and also their continued disobedience. Also their contact of others who know us to speak against us. I told him we don't agree with suing people. He told me that you don't have to sue anyone, just supply the proof of their lawbreaking to the FBI and they will prosecute. He said it was against the law, whether I objected or not. I never contacted him again but I heard that that brother put the FBI agent onto the slanderer, who suddenly shut up. If you slanderers do not fear God, Who has chastened you greatly, fear His use of man: {Rom.13:1} Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. {2} Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. {3} For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: {4} for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. {5} Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake. {6} For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing. {7} Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. I asked God for a word to either confirm or reject that this action was legitimate once and He gave me immediately: {1Ti.1:9} as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane. As a matter of fact, I asked the Lord if he wanted us to do this and got an amazing answer. My question and His answer came two days after we asked for a fast in our local assembly because of the attacks. The Lord had me open my Bible with my eyes closed and put my finger down ... and it fell in the middle of this perfect answer: Note from Rob: I was preparing a message on humility and when I came to Ezra 8:21, the Lord "highlighted" it in my spirit and I knew He was speaking of a corporate fast, locally, in addition to humility. What a powerful confirmation. Praise the Lord! {Ezr.8:21} Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. {22} For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. {23} So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us. In other words, Father is saying that we don't need to go to the worldly king for help against the attackers because His power and wrath will take care of them. They had been attacked by enemies when trying to build the temple before this, just like us. After this, they forbid mixed marriages or being spiritually unequally yoked to unbelievers. The same is true today. Come out from among them so you will not be leavened.
