Matthew 6:1-4
1 ¶ Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 10:6-10
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Friends, it’s not about me or my ministry.
It’s about spreading the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, the salvation of Almighty YHWH.
I am just a vessel created for God to use.

I am just a man. A lowly man. I have sinned, I am a sinner. I am only saved and made righteous through my Faith in Jesus the Christ and being washed by the blood of the lamb, baptized by both the water and the Spirit of the one true living God!
Having received a promise by God to Abraham and his Seed, the same promise of hope and salvation made to all whosoever takes hold of YHWH’s New Covenant.
I do all this but for the glory of God, and because I love God.
1st John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God 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.
1st john 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
It’s not about me.
I’m not worthy.
1Titus 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1st Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
A little history
I was "baptized" as a baby in a Catholic church" in my "christening" and was raised under the Catholic traditions, partaking of communion and my confirmation only to leave the church become close almost to a militant atheist, rejecting all religion, and sinning grievously in carnal sins and countless abominations before God.
I never truly understood about the Bible or had a revelation of Christ Jesus.
I was a do unto others as I would unto me person, but I lied. At times I stole; I cheated; I looked at things I should not have; committed abominations; I hated, which means I murdered; I was dishonest; I promoted sinful things, I supported sinful activities; I blasphemed God, I joked and even mocked His Son.
I am not worthy of the blood shed for me, but then truly none of us are, but were it not for GOD's SUPREME Love, Grace, and Mercy.
Prior to coming to Christ I had been politically active and dedicated 10 years of my young adult life advocating the violent overthrow of the British out of Northern Ireland as part of the worldly unrighteous cause of Irish Republican politics. (Which I have repented of.)
In 2001 my girlfriend –who was raised Presbyterian and fell away until coming to Christ, baptized in a river, at age 25, in the name of JESUS Christ for the remission of sins –bought me a Bible along with four other books I had wanted in computer network security. I began reading the Bible and never touched the books on network security.
My girlfriend had some friends from her work who were very much into the Bible, and whose walk was in God's ways. She'd met the entire family and talked with them through her work, and she’d tell me all about them. One day, she called me from work and invited me to a Bible study hosted at their house.
The study began with the reading of motto on the cover of the visuals used for the study: "When you open your bible, open your heart."
As the study started, I tried just that. Do you know what I found? The most amazing things that I had read once, or heard on a Sunday mass (way back when) suddenly all began to make sense and to pull on me. The book of Genesis with Adam, Eve, the serpent, God's creation – all suddenly was making a lot more sense than what I may have thought before.
I had opened my heart and mind to God.
We went that following Sunday to their church in Stockton, California which was a UPCI Pentecostal Church. After attending several months and witnessing the amazing the Spirit of God, I was baptized (in the water and by the Spirit) in the saving name of JESUS Christ for the remission of my sins in 2002 on March 17th, St Patrick's day (purely by happenstance and God's doing. I was so engrossed learning all I could about baptism, eager to be baptized I had no idea even what day I had scheduled it).
Following my baptism my world was changed forever.

I began to study about Israel, so I started reading all the Jewish books I could find. I soon began to see many contradictions and problems and soon discovered the light of the world was not to be found in Judaism. That is when I began re-reading the Bible and studied all The Holy Bible had to say about Israel. I partook a detailed study of Israel and soon learned the truth of the importance of knowing who Israel was, and is, and will be forever.
In 2003 I put up my first Christian website to educate Christians about the truth of Israel, but got side tracked into rebuking events and world politics of the day.
After a mental breakdown in 2005 and in 2006, the website changed from rebuking politics to promoting the Gospel.
Later I took that site down and new website was created in 2011 yhwhchosen.com dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In 2022 I also added JESUSchosen.com to this ministry.
Who is YHWH’s chosen?
Isaiah 41:8
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
The answer: JESUS
