SAG AWARDS REPORT:

I MUST ADMIT, I AM INDEED A HATER….




“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate”
-Proverbs 8:13

If you are called a hater, wear it as a badge as you are in good company, remember king David a man after God’s own heart was ah hater as he said;
“Ye that love the LORD, hate evil”
….and….
“I hate them with perfect hatred”

I am guilty of HATING SIN. If loathing wickedness is wrong, then I am guilty as charged.
I am guilty as being created in the image and likeness of my God and abhor iniquity.

Here’s a few more ‘haters’ and ‘bullies’ of righteousness;
Moses used the word ‘abomination’ countless times, so Moses the meekest man on earth was a HATER. We read there is “A time to love, and a time to hate” as the writer of Ecclesiastes was a HATER. We find Amos as a hater when he said; “Hate the evil, and love the good” and who can forget in the book of Revelation chapter two we read where Jesus Himself (Red letters) said “I hate” not once but twice. I guess Jesus is a HATER too.



One might finally agree that God does hate sin but will take issue with God hating people.
Well one again God’s ways are not their ways, as per Psalm 5:5 where God hates the “workers of iniquity” not just the sin but the very person. The worker himself. We also read in Romans “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.” Paul writing how God hates the actual person Esau, not just his sin and in another verse he wrote; “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil.” Many Christians have a counterfeit love for not hating according to Paul who by the standard of the modern Church today would be a HATER of not just sin but actual people.




"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression”
Isaiah 58:1



SUNDAY was the 18th annual SAG Awards in downtown Los Angeles at the Shrine Auditorium and God was there to shine His light on these fallen ‘stars.’






What are the SAG awards you ask?
The ‘Screen Actors Guild’ is the union for actors who work in film and digital theatrical motion pictures and television programs, commercials, video games, industrials, internet and all new media formats. The Screen Actors Guild is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and nominations for the SAG awards come from 4200 randomly selected members of the union. The full membership is over 121,000 in the film brotherhood. The Golden Calf is awarded to those in both motion pictures and television programs.
Once again at this event everyone who is anyone in Hollywood is there to flaunt their stuff and be honored among their own. With black limos everywhere, screaming fans on the sidewalk, cameras from all over the world snapping pictures, the stage was set for God to use us and try to get their attention and remind these little gods of Jesus. They however seemed to be detoured by their own fame or only cry out to God in a time of need as this past Sunday was their day to feed their egos on the Red Carpet. But not before they saw our signs.
HERE WAS THE LAYOUT.
I stood on the corner as each limo must turn by me to drive towards the Shrine Auditorium and when the celebrities walked out from their limo they were met with a crowd of onlookers and with 4-5 banners raised above the sidewalk crowd. At my location, a number of the black limousines rolled their window down to give me the finger, with a few thumbs up. Because the film industry has a large Jewish population, there was a few comments like; “Jesus was a Jew” to which I said “was”…..what is He now a Muslim, get it right, Jesus IS a Jew. Another comment was “we love the book of Hebrews” to which is said Oh, you now believe in the New Testament? And the most common response to my banner was “we are the chosen and we love Moses” to which I asked then where are your animal sacrifice as he commanded? No response.

One guy stuck his torso out the window and yelled “I masturbate to kiddy porn” and many took pictures of my banner. For years these people get photographed from everyone but on their own personal cell phones what do they have? They have pictures of us preaching to them. There was a guy standing next to me with a clipboard and he was in contact with every limo driver as each limo had a number on the windshield and some limos had special instructions. He was shocked to witness those celebrities that felt obligated to yell at me. The brothers in front of the Red Carpet were able to witness to the crowd as well as the fallen stars when they made their out of car appearance. At the end of the day the God of the Bible was there and it is recorded in heaven, with many opposing Jesus the great editor of their sin.

We will have four more Hollywood Award shows to preach at before the granddaddy of them all, the Academy Awards in late February.


SOMETIMES A PICTURE MIGHT INSPIRE YOU TO VIEW THINGS FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE. THIS IS WHAT EZEKIEL 3:17-18 LOOKS LIKE IN BOTH SPIRIT AND LETTER…..






“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand”

…..ARE YOUR HANDS CLEAN FROM THE BLOOD OF THE WICKED OR DO THEY LOOK LIKE THOSE BLOODY HANDS? PUT YOUR HANDS TO THE PLOW AND GET TO WORK.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”
John3:19


STREET PREACHING CAN BE AS ANNOYING AS THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BEEPING ON YOUR DASH BOARD, YET IF IGNORED…..






….IT WILL COST YOU YOUR ENGINE, TRANSMISSION OR MAYBE AN ACCIDENT. THOSE FLSHING LIGHTS ARE INTENDED TO GET YOUR ATTENTION AND THOSE DELIBERATE WARNING SOUNDS ARE MEANT TO GET YOUR AWARENESS, FOR A REASON. But most will look at the blinking light and look away or even try to hide it with gum and that beeping noise, well you can turn the radio up and to try to drown out the sound or after a while you get use to the blaring noise. Yet whatever happens, the manufacturer warned you and a breakdown is in the near future. You did see the flashing lights and you did hear the buzzing sounds and just so you fully understand, AAA will not rescue you from hellfire. So when people tell us we are irritating and our methods are nauseating, well, that is like music to my ears. As I am doing what our maker wanted us to do. Sound the alarm and BLOW THE TRUMPET.







“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be calamity in a city, and the LORD has not done it?”
Amos 3:6







Friday I am heading out to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl, and the day after I return home I will be at the ‘Grammies’ in downtown Los Angeles. Then do the a few more ‘Hollywood Award’ shows like the EMusic awards, NAACP Awards, ACE Eddie Awards and later that month do my 29th year at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. After New Orleans the ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’ concert will be in town for two days so we will be outside and lastly the sacred Academy awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood will be surrounded with banners and street preaching.

Bible-thumping on Bourbon Street at night barred by ordinance
“…..Although the law, sponsored by Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, spelled out the justification for the crackdown on aggressive panhandlers, it offered no explanation for the blanket ban on letting people assemble on Bourbon Street at night to voice their views on politics or religion…..that religious demonstrators, sometimes with large signs and bullhorns, have been showing up on Bourbon Street on Friday and Saturday nights, yet police have taken no action against them….Watermeier wages an annual battle with the small group of anti-gay campaigners who show up during the Southern Decadence festival, using bullhorns and picket signs to convey their message that homosexuality is evil…..”

NOW TO BE FILED UNDER ‘INTERESTING






WELL, JESUS DID SAY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE, so what’s the problem?
Or perhaphs this is one of the two shebears that was used when little children who mocked Elisha saying “Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head” and so God had moved two of these large animals rip apart 42 children instead of a time-out. Lesson to be learned….don’t mess with God’s anointed.
2 King 2:23-25

BIRTHDAY


Today is my birthday, born in 1961, which means I did have a mother. Not as many believed, that I was assembled with body parts of martyred saints in a dark catacomb by monks, then struck by a lighting bolt on a dark stormy night and was given life. I was the youngest of 5 children and had a wonderful dynamic duo in my upbringing, my parents. They have both gone home eternity and I long to see them again.
Today on my birthday, I will not celebrate with a party, cake, ice cream and gifts but I will be preaching at the ‘Producers Guild Awards’ in Beverly Hills today as a ‘THANK YOU’ to God for my life. I am thankful for almost a life of service to our King. To my mother that birth and raised me, my father who gave me character and taught me how to talk and walk like a man and our heavenly Father which has used what was waxed in me for His glory. That is how I will celebrate my 51st birthday. I am thankful for serving God in open air since age 18 and utilizing my youth, I regret nothing and do not know any other way to live but by taking the Word of God to others.
The photo above was taken in 1963 with yours truly in the middle, next to my two sisters and to date we are still a very close family. At birth I had a lot of heath issues, as in I have one functioning lung, born with two but only one that operates and as a street preacher that’s a handicap right out of the gates.
My father was a barber and when I was of age, I would go with him to work and sweep hair, clean the mirrors and shine shoes. That is when ‘Barber Shops’ were for men and sports and politics were discussed in the smoked filled shop. My mother stayed at home and later went to school to become on LVN. In the photo above is my oldest Brother now retired after his 20 years in the 82nd airborne and worked a short time for the INS, my second oldest brother now retried from working with the government and my oldest sister who owns a beauty shop, as for the sister holding me, she is a head nurse in the medical field and today always watches out for me. The picture below is my parents on their wedding day surrounded by my grandparents in Los Angeles.




You see, there is a human side to Ruben Israel, other than the guy you see holding a banner with angry people around him. Street Preachers are people too.


THIS JUST IN…..



This picture was sent to me with this caption:
“Ruben you finally succeeded, Bert is now a street preacher”
WHO SAYS NO ONE LISTENS……he has a Bible in one hand and a megaphone on the other hand as he is ready to open air on Sesame Street, all he needs now is a Christian T-shirt. Anyone can see he is truly Born Again as he does not have that angry frown eyebrow anymore.



AND JUST WHY DO YOU BELIEVE
?




For over 30 years I have had the privilege of talking to people across the sidewalks of America as to WHY they believe in Jesus, and here are a few reasons I’ve heard over and over.

“I love God because He loved me”
“I want to avoid going to hell”
“I needed to get delivered from drugs”
“I was an alcoholic”
“I felt God moving”
“He spoke to me”
“I don’t want to sin”
“I saw Jesus”
“I should be dead but he…..”
“I prayed and He answered”
“He saved me from my sins”
“I’ve always believed”
“He healed me from….”
“I am the elect”
“He restored my marriage”
“He gave me a job”
“I was rock bottom and He was there”
“He answered my prayer”
“I felt His presents at…..”
“He met me in jail”

Now, I’m sure all of these statements are sincere but I think mankind could do better, as this might be the very reason so many people live a spiritual roller coaster ride. This should not be the foundation reason of WHY we need to believe in Jesus as the Christ, not that God can’t repair any problems, but should that be our only motive?

For example one day our Lord said something radical, He said, ‘Eat my flesh and drink my blood’ and many of His disciples were offended and stopped walking with Him. Jesus turned to Peter and asked if he was leaving too and Peter replied, No. Because you have the words of eternal life. NOW, that is an answer and that should be the very core of WHY we believe in Jesus.

Many TV evangelists, look into the television and say something like ‘God loves you and wants you to prosper, yes God is ready to bless you financially.’ He will give actual verses of prosperity and for that reason those watchers will motivated to believe in Jesus. Now God healing someone, restoring a broken marriage, fixing your finances and delivered you from drugs and alcohol can occur but should not be the nucleus of our belief in Jesus. Because once these things get restored, many will start all over again.

Why not believe in Jesus as the Christ because He is the Lamb of God, the only Door, the only way to God?

Here is Brother Johnny from our Bible Believers chapter in Phoenix Arizona with his testimony on how he was moved to street preach. In his own words, Street Preacher Johnny:




"A LETTER OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL UP AND COMING STREET PREACHERS"

One of the fastest ways to lose friends is to go all the way with God. Once you become
serious about carrying your cross daily-forsaking all your idols, taking your eyes off the things of this world, turning to Jesus with all your heart and hungering for more of Him-you will no longer be satisfied with just being a PEW WARMER. The very fact that you are reading this tells me you are on the right track of wanting to do more for JESUS and that something is to publicly proclaim the Gospel as a" STREET PREACHER"." And soon you'll experience the worst rejection of your lifetime.

Why this change?
When you were a "LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN" (Rev.3:16) you were no trouble to anyone, not even the devil. You were neither overly sinful nor overly holy. You were just another halfhearted pew warming Christian, and your life was quiet and untroubled. You were accepted. But then you changed. You got hungry for more of Jesus and you could no longer play church games. You REPENTED and turned to the LORD with all your HEART. Down came your idols of money, fame, pleasure, sports-anything and everything that was more important to you than JESUS. You began to dig into GOD'S WORD. You stopped pursuing material possessions and became obsessed with pursuing CHRIST.
You entered a new realm of discernment and began to see things in the Church that before had never bothered you when you were "LUKEWARM".

And the result? Now your friends and family think you're crazy.
Instead of rejoicing with you or encouraging you, they ridicule you, mock you and call you a fanatic. "What happened to you?" they say. "We don't even know who you are anymore. Why don't go back to the way you used to be?"

If you've experienced this, don't be discouraged- Your in good company.

A few years ago the Holy Spirit awakened me and I came out of a "LUKEWARM" church
and found out about " STREET PREACHING" through BROTHER RUBEN ISRAEL'S AND BROTHER JEREMY'S (THEWATCHMANFORCHRIST) YOUTUBE CHANNELS. These Brother's greatly inspired me by their BOLDNESS and PASSION about PREACHING God's truth! and from there GOD really lit a FIRE in me. I began to see thing's I'd never seen before and I wanted to share it with everybody. I called many Brothers and Sisters in Christ on the phone and talked to them about "STREET PREACHING", Many came to my house to hear. I opened up my King James Bible to them, pointing out to them all the many verses that command us to publicly proclaim the Gospel.

I thought these so called Christians would see the truths, too-that they would love the Word of God also and would also like to join me in "STREET PREACHING".
Instead, most of them just blinked and looked puzzled. They said things like, "Are you sure you aren't going a little overboard?" or, "That's a little too heavy for me." The more radical I became, the less I saw of them. I was then moved by the Holy Spirit to "GO INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES" (Luke.14:23) in other words "STREET PREACHING" after taking it to another level most of those so called Christians casted me out of their inner circle. Glory be to God! because then entered some some real BROTHER'S IN CHRIST! Henceforth the LORD has placed BROTHER JEREMY DE LOS SANTOS, JOSH DE LOS SANTOS AND RUBEN ISRAEL in my life to help further encourage me and help me in any way they can. GOD has also provided me with a great BROTHER in CHRIST in my own hometown of Glendale Arizona MARIO JUAREZ, We now TARRY together all throughout Arizona Preaching the GOD of the BIBLE.

I would like to now further EXHORT the brethren to continue going forth:

Again if this has happened to you since God awakened you, you are not alone. God's Word warns you what to expect if you are determined to follow Him all the way. You can expect any or all three reactions: 1. YOU WILL BE REJECTED.
2. YOU WILL BE CAST OUT. 3.YOU WILL BE STONED.

1.YOU WILL BE REJECTED.
Jesus warned, "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own. but because ye are not of this world, but I chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you" (John.15:19). Show me a believer who has become both a lover and doer of the truth, and I'll show you one that has been rejected and persecuted by the entire "LUKEWARM" Church. Rest assured, if you give up on this world, it will quickly give up on you.

Jesus had many followers- that is, until the word He preached was perceived to be too hard and demanding. The miracle-loving crowd heard His claims and forsook Him, saying, "This is too hard! Who can receive it?" Then Jesus turned to His disciples and asked, "Will you also turn away?" or, in other words, "Is my Word too hard for you, too?" Peter answered, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words to eternal life" (John.6:68). No, Peter and the rest of disciples would not walk away. They loved the word that most people said was to harsh and demanding; they knew it was producing in them eternal values. They wanted to follow the truth, no matter what the cost.

You must understand that those that reject you and forsake you because of truth have good reason: It is because they see YOU as a threat to something they hold dear. Your separated life is a open rebuke to their "COMPROMISE AND LUKEWARMNESS."

2. YOU WILL BE CAST OUT.
Jesus also warned his disciples of the further rejection they would face: "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service" (John.16:12). Jesus was saying, "I'm telling you these things so you won't stumble. Don't be surprised when the "LUKEWARM" Church throws you out, because they don't know the Father or Me."

If you intend to go all the way with CHRIST, you must be prepared to bear his sufferings: "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." (John.15:18,21).

3.YOU WILL BE STONED.
If you hold fast to your commitment to Jesus, even in the face of being rejected and cast out, the same man-centered majority will stand ready to stone you: "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" (Acts.7:59). Who stoned Stephen? The most prestigious religious council of the day (see Acts.6:12). Stephen stood against the entire religious system! he was a (STREET PREACHER).

Here was Stephen, a man who had his eyes fixed on Jesus yet who was hated by men who supposedly loved God.

This stoning will not likely take a literal form in your life. Think of it this way: Today, in this age of grace, if a man looks upon a woman with lusts, in God's eyes he is committing adultery. If someone hates, he is a murderer. Conversely, if vicious words are hurled at you for going all the way with God, you are being stoned: "Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their arrows, even bitter words: (Psalm.64:3).


BE ENCOURAGED AND CONTINUE GOING FORTH EVEN UNTIL DEATH!

"AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; AND THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH"
(REVELATION.12:11)




LORD BLESS. BROTHER JOHN CERVANTEZ.

IT’S GREAT TO HAVE A FISHING HOLE CALLED LOS ANGELES, WHEN OTHERS ARE SNOWED IN OUR FIELD IS RIPE:



Here is a good visual of WHY God has always had open air preachers. As you see all the tracts on the floor, I have been to events where there is almost a carpet of religious literature on the ground.



God is wise when He has us PREACH a message in the ears, as whatever they hear they are responsible for, and can not plead ignorance when standing before God. WHY give someone the option to get saved, or WHY allow someone to say “No thanks” to eternal life. Doing it the way God wants it done is always the right way, regardless of what others think or feel. The very word ‘Preach’ in Hebrew, Greek and good old fashion Webster’s Dictionary is to raise the voice. God knows better and this picture is a conformation to those with eyes to see.




WEDNESDAY night was the 38th annual Peoples Choice Awards in downtown Los Angeles and after that event was over another was just starting, as the Clippers had a basketball game right across the street. So it was a good old fashion twofer.

Now for those of you who do know much about the Hollywood awards, I will try and explain them, as January starts the award shows leading up to the Academy Awards in late February. This perticular award show is voted on by the general public, hence the word ‘Peoples Choice.’ The first Peoples Choice show aired in 1975. The first awards recognized were The Sting as 1974's Favorite Picture, Barbra Streisand was the year's Favorite Film Actress, and John Wayne as its Favorite Film Actor. Ratings for the annual event peaked in 1977, when the 3rd People's Choice Awards attracted 35.3 million viewers who witnessed Farrah Fawcett-Majors win for Favorite Female TV Star, Star Wars won as the Favorite Picture, and Streisand and Wayne win again in the Film Actress and Actor categories.





But that was then, this is now. Here are a few fallen stars that appeared at this years Peoples Choice and waved to the crowds and I only know who they were by people yelling their names;
Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Robert DeNiro, Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Alec Baldwin, Courteney Cox and Tina Fey.

Let me give you a lay out of the event. The black limos arrive next to the Nokia Theatre, and as the falling stars walk out from their limos, they are met with a sidewalk of cheering people. Now this is where I stood a few hours before the event started to get a good position. The celebrities would then wave to the crowds on the sidewalk and walk towards the sacred Red Carpet as they were greeting with props. Remember this is Hollywood and everything is a prop. The crowd that was cheering seated in the bleachers as the backdrop were paid screamers and all the camera lights flashing were just strobe lights everywhere around the magic carpet and it was there they would get interviewed and flaunt their dresses or latest trend.




Now because this was the Peoples Choice Awards, a number of celebrities walked to the sidewalk to thank the crowd and right directly in front of my banner, I was so close I could have pulled them over the barricades from the street unto the sidewalk. None responded to my banner in their face as they just looked and smiled, they were much to busy feeing their egos from a willing crowd and with all the cameras around them they did not wish to appear hateful.

I was asked by LAPD to move to another location and did as it was a better location than where I was, I did and was even closer than before, even the paparazzi tried to move me out of their way because my sign was blocking their view. I did not recognize anyone, even when they were right in front of me but only heard their names bellowed from others. As far as I was concerned everyone there looked plastic.

CLIPPER GAME:
By 5PM the Award show started as it aired at 8PM Eastern Time and everyone was seated in the theater, so I walked down the street to my regular corner at Staples Center and preached to those arriving into the 7:30PM game. The Clippers hosted Miami and the game was a sell out. Bodies were everywhere as many stopped to take a picture of my banner or try to debate and defend sin. The police gave me much liberty as in the past at this venue and the sidewalks were filled with people ripe for the Word of God.





God’s timing is always perfect, as the conversations were priceless. One young man told me he was ready to leave Christianity because his Pastor pointed him out publicly and told him that he needs to start paying his 10% to the Church. This Pastor had another person leave the Church for not paying his 10%. After we talked and he was encouraged, he was ready to confront his Pastor and find another Church.

I only brought one (give away) Bible with me and after talking with another young man, I asked him if he had a Bible. He said “No” and I gave him the only one I had with me, he thanked me and walked away reading. Later that night, I had no more tracts and I had a believer come up to me and we talked for a few minutes and he thanked me for standing up for God. But before he left, he gave me one of his tracts and within a few minutes I was involved with another person. After about 10 minutes of conversation, he asked me if I had any literature, I was about to say no, when I remember I had just been given one. It was a good tract, filled with verses and the basic Gospel so I gave it away. I only give tracts to people that ask, so if I bring them, it’s just a few.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine”

When I arrived downtown, the Lord favored me with a parking spot just 1 block away from the action. Now, my wife only being my wife wanted me to stay home because I have the flu, complete with a sore throat, fever and had been coughing for a few days, nevertheless I went as she knew I would. The scriptures teach to PREACH in season and out of season (2Tim.4:2) and last night was out of season for me, yet the Lord had me there and it was worth every hour.

SINCE I JUST PREACHED AT A HOLLYWOOD AWARD SHOW, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE JEREMY FROM NEW MEXICO FOR THE BEST PREACH FLIM OF THE YEAR….AT LEAST SO FAR.



I believe this is the best street preaching footage so far, with interviews, witnessing, debating, open air preaching complete with police and heathen involvement. Brother Jeremy put this piece together from our New Years Eve preach in Las Vegas. Just be advised, it is not a 10 minute youtube clip, it is over 40 minutes of a variety of street preachers, so grab a bag of pop corn and make sure that beer has ‘root’ in it and click the link below & enjoy……

THE B-52 ARE BACK AND NOT THE BOMBERS, THE 1980’s BAND



FRIDAY the 13th at the Grove of Anaheim this punk rock band from the 80’s reared it’s head from the past. I guess their most favorite songs were “Love Sack” and "Rock Lobster" they were a post punk/pop rock group that had significant airplay on MTV and they are still around. We showed up to drop the bomb on them. The majority of the concert goes were seasoned citizens, we trusted they got a senior discount when they purchased their tickets and the handicap parking was filled immediately around the Grove. A taxi came by and dropped off two older folks that were both blind and using their white canes to go inside the concert. But not before they heard preaching and those with good vision saw and read our banners. The event security was out in force from keeping those senior citizens from attacking us and the Anaheim police were also called but they told the event that we were within our rights. Many of these were raised up with MTV and by the looks, have not outgrown it. One guy who was wearing sunglasses around 8PM said he was a Pastor and told us that our approach was not very Christian as he was more loving going to the concert. Unfortunately, he never read Ephesians 5:11;
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them”
As he has more in common with darkness than light and sin then holiness. Others tried to defend their music by saying there is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself, that’s what God would want. There was only one way to get inside the venue and four of us were there. One senior citizen did try to attack Mark but was held back by security and something tells me these people are going to be very sore in the morning. We hope there is not a mosh-pit and these people will limit their dancing as someone just might break a hip…..or die.
Pray for other labors to reap our harvest.



HERE IS BROTHER PAT WALKING THE BOURBON STREET AFTER GETTING PUNCHED IN THE EYE ON NEW YEARS




SATURDAY night at Anaheim Stadium there was a ‘Monster Truck’ night as the 17 race begins at Anaheim and Brother Mark preached this jammed pack event as at this venue we can walk up to the main gates with banners and preach. This stadium is inside of a large parking lot, yet we been allowed inside the grounds and preach for decades. Any event hosted by Anaheim Stadium from a baseball game, when the ‘Rams’ played there, to religious meetings, concerts and other events, they give us much liberty to stand at the main entrance and preach. Anaheim is in Orange County, which is a very conservative section of southern California, yet at this event. Every ‘Red Neck’ from 50 miles away showed up to cheer these monster trucks roll around on the field. These people do not understand a hellfire that’s eternal, but they do understand that if they do not Repent and believe in Jesus, they will get NO ‘Macaroni & Cheese’ or ‘Tater Tots’ for eternity and that is HELL to them. Know your audience


SUNDAY was the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills.



The event started at 5PM so we were there a couple hours earlier to get good position to display our signs. Now just what is a ‘Golden Globe’ you ask? This particular Golden Calf is an accolade bestowed by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) recognizing excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign. This event is telecast to 167 countries worldwide, generally ranks as the third most-watched awards show each year, behind only the Oscars and the Grammy Awards.

Mark and I stood on a small side street where a line of black limousines line up before they are checked for ID’s and released towards the Red Carpet, this paramount because there is no one around but us and our signs on the sidewalk. As each limo must pass by or pause by us before they can move and we were so close that we could open the open the limo door if we wanted. No one is permitted around the Red Carpet and the closest you can view the limos is one block away and there the crowds are thick as the black stretched cars just drive by, which is why our location was prime.



Anyone who is anyone in television and film world is there, from actors, actresses, directors, producers, writers and those that fund these programs. Those involved in HBO, Showtime, NBC, CBS, ABC and such flaunted their signs from the dark tinted windows. With several hundred vehicles that passed by, I did recognize a few actors. Cuba Gooding Jr. seemed to have a few drinks inside the limo but rolled his window down to ask me a question about my sign, the only problem was I don’t understand drunk. Another limo came by and rolled down the window and it appeared to be Ozzie Osborne, as the voice from the long limo said “Rock and Roll forever” as he too sounded like he had more than a few drinks in the back seat. Paula Abdul stuck her head out just to puff smoke at Mark and many of the limos that were stopped, took pictures of my banner with a warning of laundry list of sin as you could see the flash inside the back seat. A number rolled sown the windows just to yell their sin others banged on the window as they passed.
We were blessed with a great parking, about 30 yards from where we stood and a great location, with favor from Beverly Hills police. No doubt these people were alerted to Jesus, sin and life after death.


I GUESS IT’S SAFE TO SAY THE MORMONS DO NOT LIKE ME?

MONDAY was the Martin Luther King parade in gangland L.A. or commonly known as South Central Los Angeles.




In 1983, President Ronald Reagan made King’s birthday a national holiday, though it was not observed until 1986 and is celebrated on the third Monday every January. The weather was nice as I have done this parade in the heat, rain and wind. But the nice weather produced a large crowd, as the police we everywhere along the route. Doug used his Christianize wheelchair to follow the route on the sidewalk and preach, a number of local brothers walked the route with signs and I stood at a main artery to get those participating in the parade.

This was billed as the largest King parade in the U.S. complete with at least 30 marching groups, over 20 floats, 17 drill teams, 16 marching bands, seven color guard teams, numerous dance groups and more. As in past years there was a heavy South Korean presence, with the ‘Grand Marshall’ of the parade a Rev. Hae Hak Lee, a South Korean Presbyterian minister and a member of South Korea’s parliament. As he sat in the convertible, he looked at my sign but said nothing, all he did was hold a Korean flag in one hand and do the parade wave with the other hand, as he seemed ashamed of the Gospel.




The largest cheers from the sidewalk came for Ronald McDonald and Denny’s as the biggest hissing noise, was a tie, between the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles Police Department. Both were followed by those with signs and petitions claiming Police brutality. This is not the Rose Parade nor the Macy’s Parade as tow trucks, trash trucks and bail bondmen were all a part of this parade and everyone in the parade danced to some type of loud music or banging drums. There were communist groups passing out anti-government literature on the sidewalk and a number of unions walking the parade. People were passing out flyers for testing to see if you are the father of that child, along with flyers with an 800 number for battered women and anger management classes or leaflets for family attorneys.





There was a black pro-sodomite group that pranced the route also the Hare Krishna’s had a float and did their public dance and chant in their pajamas and of course the ‘Occupy’ was there in force trying to incite the people. How can I forget the large 10 foot picture of Gandhi and another of ML King being pushed in the street. To say he has become on idol is an understatement.




The Police department flaunted their stuff as every type of vehicle they had was exposed in the parade as if to say “We Got This, Ya-all.” Where I stood was at the tip of a ‘Y’ in the road/route and they could not miss my extra large banner in the middles of the street. The Mayor of Los Angeles quoted my banner with his microphone as he drove by and said he believes in Jesus. The Chief of police, the sheriff of L.A. county, most of the city counsel and a number of local news people all acknowledged Jesus when they saw my banner.

They were also reminded that Jesus is the KING of KINGS. The very liberal Maxine Waters decided to get out from her car and walk the route around the same place I was standing and after she walked by me she almost fell down as she seemed to slip on the street by my banner and the loudest chant of the day was a tie between “No justice, NO peace…NO heath care, NO peace” and “Vote Union, Black Power.” Now, I have been preaching parades of all types for decades across our nation and never saw white folks with fists raised shouting “White Power” in a city parade….and if they did, that would be considered racist, but not on Martin Luther King Blvd. in South Central.

Many axed if I was protesting the parade others axed if I knew that God/Jesus/Adam & Eve were all black as many confessed to be saved, yet professed being proud they were black. African flags on T-shirts was the dress code for men and for women, wearing African dresses and colored hats was the fashion statement. Petitions were getting signed everywhere, from anti-government, anti-police, to race discrimination, anti-boarders, health care, more government aid and Obama needed for four more years.

In my opinion, Rev King, Dr. King, Mr. King was nothing more than a communist, adulterer who should have kept to preaching a watered down Jesus loves you message in Church. His life and politics were immoral and if he had a dream once, he is living a nightmare now. He might have preached about ‘freedom’ yet he lived in bondage and was most likely murdered by another black, yet he is the poster-boy against racism….go figure, only in America.

I guess it’s just safe to say that some people are just proud of the color of their skin and they are proud to have ML King be their leader. Is there something wrong with that…..its not like they made an idol out of the guy or turned him into the virgin Mary, right.....then again?





ANOTHER STREET PREACHER ARRESTED:
Brother David from Houston is arrested for just holding a sign at a marathon. He called me last week about some problems he has had in Houston and now this. He was arrested about two months ago which made the news and charges were dropped, you might have thought the lesion was learned? Note the first thing said by the officer was regarding the video camera.

Here is a HOT news story of a Muslim that attacked Larry and Tony last year after preaching a concert in Tampa and is now charged with plotting to attack Tampa-area nightclubs and a sheriff's office with bombs and an assault rifle to avenge wrongs done to Muslims. The Kosovo-born man made a video and stated that he wanted to bring terror to the hearts in the Tampa Bay area. The Muslim community has already distant themselves from the suspect Sami Osmakac, as they said “It was very clear he was very disturbed very angry and very misguided about the Islamic faith.” The link below is the local news clip which shows a piece of the youtube clip where he snapped and attacked the preaching:

“AND OF SOME HAVE COMPASSION, MAKING A DIFFERENCE: AND OTHERS SAVE WITH FEAR PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE; HATING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH”
JUDE 1:22-23




NOW WHAT IF……


WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported on the creation? (Gen.1)…..This just In from your local news. Reports of a big blast could be heard everywhere as some witnesses claimed it sounded more like a ‘bang’ than a blast, nevertheless whatever it was IT WAS LOUD with flashing lights. The noise forced light to shine, formed mountains and moved water. The environment rocked and plants began to grow, which fed animals that evolved from small ponds. Humans also advance from pond scum, into apes and now reported walking in the upright position, all due to this ‘BIG bang’ heard by many. No one knows where this big bang came from or how it was created as that does not MATTER. Because that is what people smarter than you and I have said happened, so who are we to question them? Now, there has not been another ‘bang’ heard since the first bang nor do humans evolve any longer, but that does not mean we do not understand what happen. Stay tuned for our next report…..that some people think the earth is round…HA! When will this end?

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they would have reported the flood (Gen.7)? Oh CNN would have showed all the dead bodies, floating kittens and balloted puppies around the sealed ark. We have footage taken from our ‘Action Helicopter’ of women and children that were once crying and now are faced down in the water as Noah nor his family did not assist anyone into the ship. Where is the love of God, the reporters would broadcast. How could God be so cruel to His creation as the camera would zoom in on children’s toys floating around a playground. And it will be breaking news that the story of the flood was taken from other religious writings, the Jews simply stole the story.

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported the tower of Babel (Gen.11:5-8)? CBS would report what is God’s problem? We are one. We are humans made after His image and likeness and all we want to do celebrate unity and he does this. I thought God was not the author of confusion? Contractors say next time they build a tower they will trick God and use sign language and not talk to each other. The question now is, will this God now be against the Olympics, inner racial marriage, unions, world championship games, the U.N. and the one world government? As all we want to be one, is this wrong? In a related story, there will be a world concert planed to raise money for a new bigger tower at a disclosed location, with the theme song ‘We Are The World’ check local cable listings for details.


WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen.19:1-29)? NBC would ask why is the Hebrew God so judgmental, these people were born that way and there were innocent women and children in those cities, not to mention pregnant women and harmless babies that were killed as a result of that fire. Even the animals and birds were burnt for no reason. How can anyone believe in a God that is so intolerant, we thought God was all forgiving? Arson investigators, fire marshals and detectives are looking into the fire as arson as the cities are now a big crime scene and as soon as the fires stop burning the forensic team will go in. Police are looking for Lot and his family as a person of interest as he was seen fleeing the city with two unknown individuals. If you have seen them or know of their whereabouts, please contact 1-800 RAT-UOUT.



WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported on the 10 plagues of Egypt (Ex 5- Ex 11)? ABC news could report that every one of the ‘plagues’ can be explained as this has nothing to do with the Hebrew God but pure science.......
Plague number 1: The water which turned to blood and killed all fish and other aquatic life. This was done as a result of those Jews sacrificing animals next to water and the water turned red and was contaminated.
Plague number 2: Frogs, well it was mating season, don’t read more into the story.
Plague number 3: Lice, this problem came from gorillas as the zoo was in town that week, like the AIDS virus blame it on apes.
Plague number 4: Flies, these swarm of flies were a direct result from the dead fish in the bloody water.
Plague number 5: Disease on livestock, nothing more than mad-cow disease, it was a mere coincidence that it happened around the same time. It was human error, nothing more, everyone stay calm.
Plague number 6: Boils, this happened as a result of the hair lice which spread over Egypt.
Plague number 7: Hail and thunder, Mother Nature freak storm, so much for global warming.
Plague number 8: Locusts, well after the rain and hail we had an excess of grass and crops, hence we had an surplus of grasshoppers too, nothing more, no need to panic as everything is under control.
Plague number 9: Darkness, one word….eclipse.
Plague number 10: Death of the first-born of all Egyptians, this was done by Israeli soldiers as a distraction so the Hebrews can loot and scoot from the Egyptian community.
The King’s army is pursuing Moses and company and they are trapped by the Red Sea. And on a follow up report the army has not returned and it is reported that the God of the Hebrews judged them for stealing as they walked in a big circle for forty years.

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported the revolt of Korah (Num.16:1-40)? The BBC reports that Moses is such of a dictator that no one can question him. Anyone can be used of God, anyone can be called of God as we are all children of God, His elect, His kings yet Moses MR. Humble himself wishes bad luck on Korah and his family. Moses hated Korah all along and had him built his house on a fault line and waited for the day an earthquake would destroy him. Moses seems to rule by fear.



WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported the story of Jonah. The nightly eyewitness news would sound like this, Good evening and do we have a whale of a story tonight. Reports of a mad man that jumped from a perfectly good ship into the water, claimed he was swallowed by a large fish for three days. Then after the third day the fish blew him out on land and the nutty man was seen dazed walking the streets and warning of a judgment to come scaring everyone. Well, the day predicted came and no judgment from his God as witnesses said they saw him later on a hill crying. Police are investigating and considered such a person to be on crack or some other drug, because no fish was found and his judgment story was a big lie. Fishing stories have been known to exaggerate but this one is tops them all. And on a related story, another extreme man named Jesus said he will rise from the dead after three days and used this fish story to confirm His prophecy. Police are looking into this matter and are ready to make an arrest before someone gets hurt.

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported on this Jesus guy? Our investigation team has found some dirt on this cult leader who claims to be the Messiah, as those in His hometown said he was born of fornication and this cult had family ties. The mad man, aka: John the Baptist who said Jesus was the Lamb of God. Well, they are cousins. This is a family cult as not even His brothers believe in Him. Reports are, that anyone that who works with Him dies or goes to jail. John His cousin was beheaded in prison, the man that betrayed Him committed suicide. The man that denied Him at the cross was crucified upside down and the others were jailed and killed as well, in fact all of His followers were told they too would be hated. Jesus was a troublemaker from the very start of His 3 year ministry and needs to submit to the elders. He takes scripture out of context and the only reason people follow Him is to get a free meal and see one of His staged healings. He is just bitter against the devouted orthodox religion and He is a hater for not accepting everyone. The Rabbi Wolf from the religious community says; “There are many people walking around claiming to be the Christ, but everyone knows that when the real Messiah comes he will be a king like David. This Jesus guy deserved what he got”

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported the crucifixion (Mk.15:21-41) We are live at the dump site and Yes, it is confirmed that Jesus died and could not even save Himself. It was not the fault of the Hebrews nor the Romans but it was democracy that killed Jesus as the Roman rulers saw the people wanted Him to die, it was allowed. The real evil is democracy. During the execution His disciples were nowhere to be found as they ran off. His ministry was anti-government and anti-religious, He was a false prophet as Rome has been prosperous and is now home the world’s richest religion.. He just wanted to remove the government and the religious community. He lived a lie and even His followers stole His body and claim He rose from the dead. He lived a lie and even His followers stole His body and paid off those that guarded the tomb, to claim He rose from the dead, he has now been known to appear on tortillas, tree trunks, windows and chips.





WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported on the early Church? This Jesus guy appeared a number of times to His followers as many of them were jailed for causing a disturbance in cities and trying to start their own religion. They meet in houses and do not keep the Sabbath nor the traditions of the orthodox religion and always cry persecution when jailed. All this being hated and persecuted by others is only self fulfilling prophesy they heaped on themselves. Who wants to join a church where everyone will hate you, your family will leave you and you must live holy, when we can just burn a few animals and get on with life.

WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA HAVE SAID ABOUT GOD IF they reported on Peter leaving jail (Acts 12)? King Herod had Peter arrested and while he was in jail and allegedly there was an earthquake and this man of God fled the prison. He is now a fugitive. A wanted man, who skipped bail and is on the run, maybe he will be featured on ‘Rome’s Most Wanted’ and what kind of religion is this where their leader is a escapee? No wonder these churches or cells are underground, these are lawbreakers leading others to be criminals and they don’t meet at the regular synagogues or temples but they have their own compounds and make God look bad.




We are exhorted in the scriptures to remember those in prison, in jail and in bonds, so does this mean what we must start a jail ministry? No, in fact those verses are there to remind us that real Christians will be jailed for their faith and we should not be ashamed of them. Not that God can not changed a man in prison as I have spoken in prisons and many inmates seem to be involved with Jesus because they have the time, but after they are released they go back to the vomit from where they came from. As per the Epistle of Philemon, which was Paul writing as a prisoner in Rome regarding one Onesimus. He was a runaway slave who had fled from his master (Philemon) house and most likely he took with him money and goods. While locked up Onesimus and Paul developed a bond of friendship. Now Paul did not command Philemon to free his slave Onesimus, but rather receive him as more than a slave but as a brother in Christ and fellow believer. Onesimus was a convert from Paul’s incarceration.



“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body”
-Hebrews 13:3

The Epistles are filled with words like;
“Remember my bonds”
-Colossians 4:18
“and was not ashamed of my chains”
-2 Timothy 1:16
“Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner”
-2 Timothy 1:8
“Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds”
-2Timothy 2:9
“For which I am an ambassador in bonds”
-Ephesians 6:20



Paul was not visiting the murderer and the thief in jail but it was he that was in chains for the gospels sake. In fact most of the New Testament was written from a jail cell. As this was common for men of God in the Bible to be jailed or in prison for giving a message. John the Baptist was put in a cell for rebuking the king and was later beheaded, Jesus was arrested in a garden after He prayed. In the book of Acts we find Peter and John arrested and we find Paul getting arrested and standing before the courts several times. In the Old Testament we find Joseph in the kings prison, Samson was bound with bronze chains, Jeremiah and Daniel were jailed, to name just a few. But today, if a street preacher gets arrested in America, it is considered shameful and maybe he deserved it by saying something offensive to someone.





The only time we read about a minister getting arrested is if they molested someone or robbed their church funds. We do find Christians in other countries jailed for their faith but in America you are considered a criminal for such. Most Pastors will teach on the subject from a book they read or a story they goggled and were inspired, but nothing on a personal level. Most Biblical scholars can give you a good history lesion on the subject, from the early Church but have never seen a jail cell themselves. Most Christians will never know what’s it is like to sit in a cell for their faith, have handcuffs cut your wrists or to be chained and stand before a judge for their faith.

Yet Jesus prophesied such was to happen or was that to the early church and not for us in America today? Ever wondered why Christianity in the States have rarely tasted of such verses?

Perhaps this verse in John 7:7 can shed light on the matter;

“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil”

Could it be that the modern Church does not testify against the world as being evil, but have more in common with the works of the world? Unless the words of Jesus are in vain, if we rebuke the world as evil, they will hate us, persecute us and jail us. No need to understand Greek to find the truth here. There is no Bible study, Church meeting, revival, seminar, Christian retreat or song that can prepare you to sit in a cell for your faith. You have tasted of BIBLE and it is good.



Fruit of Biblical Christianity vs. fruit of modern Christianity;
“For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise…..ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face…..I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, I am bold also…. I speak as a fool….Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I….. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I….Are they ministers of Christ? I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft……I speak foolishly….Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one…..Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep….In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen…..in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city……in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren…..In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often……in cold and nakedness. Beside those things, the care of all the churches…..Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?”


Now compare that to today, or I guess that was then, and this is now;
…..he who has the biggest smile is of God. One must be tolerant and not judgmental, one must prosper and have constant joy and peace. One must sing and raise your hands high and emind God you love him. You will allow the love of God to radiate from your face and you must speak softly and never argue with others. Everything you do is in the perfect will of God and whatever sin you do, remember it’s all under the blood. You will not be hated, nor will others persecute you because they really want to be just like you. You will show the manifestation of God by driving the nicest cars, eating the best foods and living in the biggest house. No need to covet others as they will covet you and this will bring them to the Lord, no need to evangelize. Go to the biggest Church in your area because everyone knows, he who has the highest steeple has the truth and make sure you get ministered too by watching TBN, because everything rotates around you and how you feel, right? Why not, you are the Kings kid……






Dear Reuben: Are You planning on going to Marti Grass this year? Or do you know any group that is going? I am trying to fit it in my schedule. Maybe we could team up there. I am still lifting up the banners for Jesus. Hallelujah!
God Bless

I woudn't care if you say look muslims are violent! Fu** you! Yes we are if you insult our religion! respect us!
Salahuddin

what church do you attend?
billy

Hey Ruben what do you think about using this bible verse next time the cops threaten you with arrest. Are we not citizens of heaven? a lawyer told this one today.
2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
ZACHARY

why would you live in hollywood with so much sin, why not move away to say Idaho or Main? i am concerned for you
Bob

Mr. Israel, if there is a god you would be the last person she would want to represent her and the bible, because god is all about love dude.

Hey brother, I had a dream with you in it! I've been getting persecution lately from this club I'm in about speaking the true gospel of Jesus Christ. In the dream, I just finished school, and I saw you and a bunch of other preachers were there outside my school, I was so happy, I remember I was with you guys and then these people, one who I recognized from the club I'm in, they were building up these boxes so high, so that no one could see us. Then, we went to a different location and I got a sign, I don't remember what was on it, but I believe there was an ice cream cone on it, and something in the ice cream cone. I prayed to Jesus for understanding, and I got the interpretation that the sign meant NO sugar coated lies, I feel the Lord has really encouraged me to continue preaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus bless you Ruben.
Matthew

When I saw you preaching I'm reminded of the feuds I read about between Greeks and Romans who couldn't agree on which of their imaginary friends were "GOD".
People who talk for a God are only talking for imaginary friends. If any real God(s) wanted us to know them, they'd introduce themselves personally.

LEAVE US MUSLIMS ALONE.

Hi, Reuben,
May I give you a call to interview you re: preaching on college campuses. Your "Campus Preachers in the News" document is very helpful.
Thanks, Mark Wilson

Please Im a Christian and this is not how to preach. This just makes people hate the Word. I weep 4 u!

Well done guys we need a few like you to be in soho London to clean up the city.
Sam

Will be praying for you, and the others, as you pay a visit to Lady and her dear fans.
Carl

God bless you Ruben. May you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year, and may the Lord continue to use you in His service. All the best.
James

HELLO BROTHER...YOU ARE A GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT KEEP GOING HARD FOR JESUS CHRIST! LORD BLESS YOU GREATLY IN ALL YOU DO.
JOHN

God Bless you Reuben! I will pray for you to keep you safe!

Ruben, we will be praying here in Missouri that the Lord Jesus uses you guys in a might mighty way. Blessings
Mark

Honestly there is no way to talk or discuss with you hillbillys! Their only intention is to provocate! I could not resist! Take out a knife and cut their throats! I woudn't care if they say look muslims are violent! Fu** you! Yes we are if you insult our religion! Otherways they will never respect us!

First of all I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was born and raised in Michigan, where Greenfield Village was a yearly family outing, and Henry Ford Museum was a wonder. I moved from Michigan in 1998. Before I moved I saw the muslim takeover of Hamtramck but never dreamed it would outreach to a total take over of Dearborn.
As I mentioned, I have moved from Michigan, but my family still lives there. They are not able to enjoy the once beloved sites and history.
If there is ANYTHING I can do to help bring your message, please contact me.
Thank you in advance.

hello brother Ruben ...enjoying your updates i have a expernence with a man two years ago that was watching me at a intersection and bumped a car in the rear and then when the cops arrived he tried to blame it on me anyway two years went by and he stoped and talked to me he repented and left the Catholic faith and told me to keep up the good work !!! thanks bro. Ruben you are truley a man of GOD
bro. Gene

Mr. Israel I am a Christian and you are not. I preach love and forgivness and you preach hate and judgment. I am filled with the Spirit of God and you are FULL OF SH**!!
Dennis

Hi Brother Ruben,
Some of the brethren refuse to shake a man's hand who is going to hell. Some of the brethren say this is right, and some say this is wrong. What would you say? I realize that Gal. 5:12 refers to cutting off the children of disobedience who are leading people to hell, but 1 Peter 2:17 says to honor all men. Is it possible to honor all men, without shaking the hand of some people who are wicked? I thought that shaking someone's hand was a form of respect. Could you please clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel

if christianity is the truth then why are they millions of christian converting to islam? haha u christian pray to jesus a human just like you instead of god

Thanks, Bro Reuben.
May the Lord bless you. I thank God for your consistent commitment to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have learned a lot from you.
Lord bless!
Bro Christopher

That's awesome. When God's word goes out, it doesn't return void. Give em heaven Ruben.
Chris

Ruben,
Kevin is a new employee/apprentice here at Living Biography (or brandfire.net depending on your project) and I've assigned him the task of assembling this slideshow video for you. He has all the photos from the disk you brought to my place in October as well as the footage from your interview that night (he was the guy helping me with the gear if you recall) as well as the footage from the actual time we filmed for the film. Feel free to work directly with him until this is completed to your satisfaction. I will oversee it but Kevin will be cutting his teeth on this one. Bryan

Hi Brother Ruben,
I went out with some of the brethren on Saturday to preach the word of God unto the evildoers. A Brother in Christ recommended that I get a tool belt; so I would like to know what tool belt do you personally recommend?
Looking forward to your next response.

Can we give Dearborn over to the Canadians?

Hi Ruben,
Just thinking of you and wanted to wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. Hope you are well and that all the ministries are going well,
Let’s stay in touch, Till the nets are full,
Robert

you ppl are stupid and ignorant. nuff said

Hey Reuben,
I just seen the videos of the Dearborn situation. I live in Lincoln Park michigan which is only a few miles down the freeway from there. I would like to offer myself as a local Christian and American to your cause. God Bless and keep the fire burning
Frank

Hey Bro,
Went by myself, but I felt the Lord tell me He was sending warrior angels with me. Didn't see any angels, but things went great, piece of cake, preached for 3 hours, had some christians come and encourage me. Found a great free parking spot, weather was great, ticked off the so called christians, got spit at, flipped off, the usual. Glad I went!
Hope things go well for you tonight with the ucla game.
God bless,
Mark

Ruben you were on “American Muslim” Sunday night on the learning channel, it showed your banners and you preaching at Dearborn MI. I told my wife “I know that guy”
Peter

ruben are you on facebook?
i live in arkansas and would like to join you street preaching, my pastor likes you too

HEY FAT A** WHERE IS YOUR CHURCH SO I CAN STAND OUTSIDE WITH SIGNS AND PROTEST YOUR FAT A** YOU FAT STUPID A**!!!

Ruben
In response to ‘Help wanted’ on your site, I wonder if you could also help me. I am looking to hook up with some one like yourself in order to become a Street Preacher. [To break my duck - if you understand]. I do not know where you are situated, but hope it is close to the east coast.

Please allow me to give you some of my background, I wrote to you lately [ October 20th ] exhorting you in the work you do, and to tell you how I wish to start preaching or such a ministry here in Ireland. Thank you for your response to it. I wish to start a ministry or something like ‘Out Door Preaching - Ireland.'

I realise the importance of Scripture like Proverbs 27:2, but, I hope you see my dilemma, is, that while I lack an endorsement - a difficult position, and without fellowship [but for times] for over 3 years, this is also testament of my commitment to the Lord and the faith [ Jude 3] and the lost. But for 2 Tim. 3:12 it would be hard to fathom being kicked out for trying to be efficient in evangelism.
I believe, my old congregation became a cult because they fear/ed the Pastor - Proverbs 29:25 - more than the Lord, and/or love him more than the truth.
I am drawn to your ministry because you preach to the lost without compromise
I would also remind you that God gave me the strength to alone admonish 100 -150 self righteous and fascist Palestinian supports, in a rally against Israel in the streets of Cork city.

The Lord has guided me to reprove my ex-Pastor many times in order to restore my good name, that I may do a good work for God. Sadly he [ and those supporting him within the ‘church’ ] will not hear because of their pride. After backsliding a while [ being drunken this Summer] - God has now given me this guidance to ask.
And after listening to a lot of preaching by many preachers as well as yourself - Jesse Morrell, Kevin Farrer and others; I would like to ask you if you would receive me in the new year, as the Lord tarries.

I am without sufficient funds just yet but in time I will have them. The great distance aside, I wish to please God - Hebrews 11:6 and with God I have enough to offer to be of use.

This letter may not be enough to persuade you, so if you need more please do not hesitate to ask{such as some bold letters I have written} { my witness can also be as bold} . I trust the Lord will guide you in your decision.
Sincerely in Christ,
John

If you hate Mormons then I hate fat people and people that wear sunglasses. Hw do you like that? Mormons love Jesus.

dear brother. Thanks for your brilliant site and ministry.
Here's the issue. I'm an American who lives in south Australia and when walking in rundle mall (in Adelaide) I Met "Private Frank" an older brother who was passing out Bibles to people.
I sat down to talk and he was thrilled that I was an American and an Armenian to boot. Eventually I gave him my large cross that was around my neck (he is truly beautiful and chock FULL of the Holy Spirit) Anyhow. He asked me to get him a ww2 warm army coat next time I was in the u.s. and two years later I am now here and finally got a huge package I plan to ship to him...only...I'VE FORGOTTEN HIS LAST NAME!!! I was prayin that either you or one of our other brothers might know of him...He's created quite a "stir" over the years preaching as he does - I've googled and have not come up with anything.
I think he calls his ministry Gods Army and vaguely think his last name was something like sedlack??? But nothing comes up under that name. He was all over the news years ago cause the mall folks wanted him to pay for the right to hand out bibles... We were immediate FAMILY and now I need your help to complete a two year process of being a woman of my word.
Thanks for standing for Jesus.
Your little sis'
Cynthia

Ruben, you don't have to yell at strangers in public! You can live a full and wonderful life and smile at people you don't know and not curse them! You can live free of fear and guilt! Reject Human Sacrifice Ruben, reject bronze age blood rituals! Put aside that for which there is no evidence and join the 21st century. You don't have to be afraid anymore!!

Photosforsouls.com is a website designed to encourage believers and to reach lost souls for the Lord, especially those who feel they have fallen too far from God's grace to be saved. We would love to supply your ministry with free gospel tracts to help carry out the Great Commission in reaching lost souls for Christ.
The tracts are available in English and Spanish on our Free Literature page!
Please let us know if you would be interested in co-laboring with us in this ministry. Thanks for your support in remembering us in your prayers!

I wonder how many Muslims you converted with that shirt on LOL



Brother Rueben,
Do you still have your Monday night gathering in the Los Angeles area? Where and when exactly is it? Can I attend? I want to get into open air preaching and witnessing much more. I am a friend and supporter of Jesse Morrell. My wife and I live in Monrovia. Is there any group around my area? Jesse didn't know of anyone, but yours. I am also a musician in two Christian outreach bands... if you ever need Christian music at an event, free of charge.... please let me know. Also, I would like to have you as guest on my cable access t.v. show, "One on One" for a one hour interview. We would also have footage in the show of you doing your thing. Thanks so much for being who you are a faithful, bold, uncompromising servant for the Lord Jesus Christ!
Doug

Use spellcheck, then burn in hell.

Dear Ruben,
I came across your street ministry on you tube. I just had to tell you that my wife and I were very encouraged to know that God has prepared a man like you in these last days to preach the gospel and the truth of word of God. We've been passing out gospel tract on Saturday mornings for past four years and seeing what you and your group do is very inspiring. You are what bible talk about least being the greatest in heaven.
Thank you for doing for the Lord what many of us Christians are not courageous to do. We'll pray for from now on. God's grace and mercy be upon you always.
God bless

Hey, Reuben. I love what you are doing for Christ. I appreciate how you are not afraid to be abrasive when confronting the wicked. I was wondering if you and your team could come to the town of Ithaca, NY for the festival that is celebrated during the 31st of May until June 3rd. It is the perfect time and place to have bold open air preachers preach to a wicked town and festival. I kid you not, this town is like a mini- San Francisco. I would tag along if you guys came here, but if you guys can't come then I understand. If you guys have anything planned between Dec. 17th until June 26th I would be more than willing to fly to the place where you guys plan to preach the word of God. Look forward to hearing back from you. Jesus bless!

You, your banners, you horns, your shirts, your message it’s so wrong... I don’t think that’s what Jesus wants.
Berry

Dear Ruben,
Yes, I am looking to start preaching by getting experience with such men as yourself. I would go anywhere I can afford, but sadly Los Angelus is a bit far for me. I am a terrible flyer or traveller. Thank you for your replies, I appreciate them. If you could pass on any E/mail address of any on the East Coast I would appreciate that all the more. Preaching at the Olympics is great, I would be glad if I got there also, to help. I have a brother living there but he is of the other sexual persuasion.
In Christ,
John

Ruben, people would leave you alone if you just did not go where you were not wanted. You don't have to do the things you do, you live in fear and guilt. You could be a friend to all you meet Ruben, not an antagonist! Embrace reason Ruben!
Terry

God bless you guys for having a spine and confronting sin, liars and false prophets.
Your fellow laborer in Christ.
Steve

You guys are all bikers for hire, how much to have you not come to our city? This is why there is no need for religion, we live in the 21st century, it's time wake up and smell the darwin.

Ruben, What is the process to obtain "friendly" legal counsel and fight and overturn false arrests and false charges in Seattle, or other cities ?
Tom


James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothinG.
Tim

Hasn't anyone told the YOU that gluttony is a sin?

Your post on santa, Excellent!
Vera

Ummmmm aren't Catholics, Mormons Christians too?

Very good report Bro. probably the best one of the entire year in fact!
Sincerely, Dick

You are at an age where it should be made abundantly clear if it's not already, that some of the methods you choose to recruit Christians and sons of God, is quite literally, turning away more than you are bringning in. Certainly there are those who need a harder push and a harsher form of preach so it gets through their thick skulls, but ridiculing homosexuals and making quirky jokes to argue for your cause is not going to work, especially if it's the gays you are trying to convince, lol. I'm not gay, but it's plain as day to see that you are actually making Christianity look bad. If you are still too stubborned to hear this out than I don't know what to say. It's common sense, you need to tone it down, othewise, all this work you are doing is going to be a waste, and you don't seem like a guy who likes to waste his time.

PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR TO YOU MY BROTHER RUBEN, I LOVE YOUR LAST NAME AND I LOVE YOU GUYS, PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, MAY YOU AND ALL THE GUYS WITH YOU BE COVERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, MAY JESUS PROTECT YOU AND BLESS YOU MY BROTHER AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
Kafira

My PRAYERS go out for you Ruben! Givem the REAL stuff and let the Holy Spirit speak through you and others because of HER FORNICATION God has judged her CALI-Fornication must hear JESUS preached in todays evil world

Thanks Ruben. You put a lot of work on that and its a great resource. Those tools are horrid. I think if everyone had to go through a tutorial of abortion in truth they wouldnt go through with it.
Jake

This is excellent Sir
Terry


Come to Australia if you DARE! May Allah Guide the Muslims in Dearborn because Satan has misled all other religions but Islam, Islam is the last one left in his Book, he cant mislead the Muslims directly thats why he and those work for him, try to trick the young Muslims intellectually. they are more worried about the next generation then the older ones. this is all for the comming of they're "so called" Messiah The False Dajjal. Be Aware O People Beware!.
Say 'There is no God but Allah'.

Ruben, go on Fox theres an article on a "pastor" thats opened a tat parlor to reach ppl that dont go to church...notice that its not about reaching souls for Christ. But just getting them to come to church...thats a huge problem anymore ppl go to church but dont come to Christ, we need revival. Thanks for what you do Ruben, may God bless you with many crowns for souls.
Jessica

I'm sorry, but how the hell can you go to an Arab festival with a shirt that says "INFIDEL PRIDE" and not expect a severe ass kicking? This is unfair in my opinion... anyone else would have done the same. Nothing like doing a little inciting to riot... and then crying foul. How many muslim demonstrations are allowed at billy graham crusades? Yeah right. What a bunck of sad sacks.
Skavar

Hey Ruben,
I found out my Dad was in prison so I wrote him a letter. I haven't seen him since I was 3 years old. He wrote me back. In it he mentioned that he and his brothers were all Harley guys. He said that he used to ride with the Hells Angels and was a member of the Outlaws biker gang. He said a lot of our family was in the Hells Angels. I don't really know the Morrell side of my family. I never knew that. But when he said that I thought of you because I know that you preached once outside of their club house at Stergis. Who knows, maybe you preached to some of my family. That would be really awesome.
Jesse

Good to see someone standing up for the truth. preach it brother Reuben
Raymond

My Name is Giovanni Camilleri and I'm going to be making a you tube documentary "Other than beads" at Mardi Gras this year. My goal is to try to capture some of the Mardi Gras happenings, good and bad, that most people don't know about.
The street preachers are just as large of a part of Mardi Gras as anything else, yet, I've never once seen them documented on any New Orleans film. I want to change that. Assuming that you're going this year, I would be honored to interview you, or someone on your team for five or ten minutes.
The questions will be along the line of:
How many Mardi Gras have you worked at?
Why do you choose Mardi Gras and where else do you witness at?
What is a good experience that you've had at Mardi Gras during missions?
What is a bad experience?
How much time goes into planning for Mardi Gras?
Do your preach at any other events?
If that is something that you would be interested in, I would love to make this happen.
I look forward to hearing back from you, and if not, thank you for your time just the same.
Giovanni

Thank you Ruben.
Lyndel

Dear bro Ruben,
Thanks for offering to share with us some legal info for representation if false arrest and charges if we need it here in Sodomeattle area.
Hugs and a holy kiss (if you flossed this morning-LOL),

Below is the link of the video of Kevin getting arrested while preaching at the Raiders game 2 days ago. Kevin tells it like it is. After Al Davis the owner died this year I remember seeing a clip of the coach preaching Al into heaven, how Al was looking down on them and smiling after they won the next game after he died.
Al Davis had a reputation of being a nasty cut throat kind of owner. Kevin lets the fans know that Al is in hell and says he hopes Tim Tebow is watching this, how you can't even talk about Jesus at a Raiders game. Good Stuff!!
In the video the cops lie to Kevin and tell him that he is on private property and must leave. I spoke with Kevin and he said he had conferred with his attorney and stood his ground because where he was preaching is actually public property. The cops didn't know what to charge him for because it wasn't trespassing, they ended up charging him with obstructing official business. Lets pray he soundly defeats this charge in court or it gets dismissed!
God bless,
Bro Mark

This blog seems to write something positive about you in Chicago, titled “God, Bless the Street Preacher”
http://www.loveisanorientation.com/2010/part-2-god-bless-the-street-preacher/



Hi,
Not sure who I spoke to on the strip, las vegas I am a christian but I am also opened up to one of the guys who went that night, in your group w/ a red sweatshirt and cap, anyways to find out who that was? He prayed for me and i had told him something that I have never told anyone not even to my best friend, no one. I like to contact him, i know there wasn't anyone else wearing a red shirt besides him, he was also on the mic and he is white w/ blond hair. If you contact him I am the guy who confess that I was gay, and he prayed for me. You can fwd him my email which is *****@gmail.com
Thanks and please keep up the good work!
God bless
Marc

Ruben, God created us, god gave us our emotions to learn to use them properly etc. God stuck us on this rock, why should he be wrathful towards us? I have asked God to please destroy me when I die.
Eternal existence, no thank you.
