(119) WHAT ARE ANGELS?

Yes, what are angels? Angels are God’s servants and soldiers. They do special assignments for God. Sometimes God uses angels to rescue or help people from danger. Remember when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit at the Garden of Eden and they were punished by God? God sent an angel with a fiery sword to keep Adam and Eve away from the Garden of Eden.

When Apostle Peter was in prison for preaching the words of God, King Herod had put Peter in prison to be executed, but an angel appeared before Peter while he was sleeping and chained. The angel woke Peter and removed the chains from him and Peter followed the angel.

God used angels to bring messages to people, like the three angels that came to Abraham and one of the angels told him he would have a son. The angels came to Abraham and told him that God was going to destroy the city where his nephew (Lot) lived.

Two angels in the Bible have names: Michael, the Archangel and Gabriel, the angel who brought the news of Jesus’ birth to Mary. One of the most powerful angels we understand is Michael, the archangel. He is the commander, whose chief responsibility is to guard the children of Israel. Gabriel made special announcements about God’s plans to the prophet Daniel and he announced to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive a son. Gabriel is a powerful and wise angel.

Cherubim are fearsome creatures with four faces and four wings. What is written in Ezekiel 1:5-6? (NLT) From the center of the cloud came four living being that looked human, 6 except that each had four faces and two pair of wings. (NLT) Ezekiel 1:10 Each had a human face in the front, the face of a lion on right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle at the back. Their job is to protect God and his holiness.

Seraphim, fiery angels have six wings. Seraphim means “to burn.” Some of the angels have wings and some don’t, for instance to my knowledge Gabriel didn’t had any wings at all. In other words, not all angels have wings. Always listen to the Angels, the Holy Spirit and most of all to the Lord Jesus Christ; they will lead you to the godly paths within your life.

We as strong Christian believers must try as much as possible to save the souls of our brother and sisters in this world. Each time a sinner turns to follow God, I truly believe heaven will rejoice and the angels will sing. Amen to that!

Angels are mentioned many times in our bible as messengers and soldiers, they existed before humans were created on this planet.

I encourage every one of you to read your bible about angels; you will be very surprised to see how many times they are mentioned in our bible. Believe me, they are mentioned many times.

As you can see there are so many angels and all kinds of different angels and they all have different responsibilities and none of them look alike. The book of Hebrews mentioned there are so many angels we can’t count them. For example, can we count all the sand on this planet? No! We cannot count it at all, it is the same scenario, and so as you can see it is impossible to count all the angels. Right? Right on!

We must not worship any angels; let’s see what Apostle John found out after he had a vision of heaven. He wanted to worship the angel who was guiding him, but the angel told him not to. He was to worship only God.

I pray this message will be very informative to you.

(118) CHRISTIANS HELPING CHRISTIANS

It’s doesn’t matter what Country, what State, what Nationality or what Name is on your Church. It’s doesn’t matter at all, I truly believe, we are all equal in the eyes of God. We must always be in unity and pray in one accord to our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

The enemy is not among us, Satan is our enemy and he out there with his followers trying to distract all of us from attaining our goal of getting closer to Christ. Remember he is a Master Deceiver and tries to Deceive, Destroy and Kill us. Now we as Christian believers cannot permit Satan and his followers to achieve this goal. Are you with me?

Whenever, I am giving my offertory prayer in the church, many times, I ask God to bless the President of our Country and all of his officials to lead our great Country to be safe and become prosperous. Also I ask to grant all the Reverends, Pastors, Elders and Deacons who are giving their offertory prayer, to give them the wisdom and knowledge, so they can express their prayer for this morning, day or evening in Jesus Mighty Name. Also I ask to grant all the Ministers the wisdom and knowledge, so they can express their Golden message of the day or evening to their members. Thank You Lord Jesus!

Let me you ask a question, if Christians were to be in unity and in one accord, would Satan and his followers be worried? Of course they would be! Like the old saying “United we stand, divided we fall!” Now we cannot be divided and have this happen to all of us. Right? Right On!

We must stand firm on the ground with the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit or we all will be standing on sinking sand. I am sure all of you will agree with me by standing firm on solid ground, we can overcome Satan and his followers trying to deceive us, cause fear and negative thoughts that guide us to do sinful things. Once he hooks you, he will lead you to your destruction, such as doing drugs, stealing, cheating and doing things that will be harmful to you or your family.

One of the primary things, Satan wants to do is “Waste Our Time; he knows, we cannot get it back, in other words, our time is gone. Remember, in one of my topics I wrote. “Yesterday is today’s memories, tomorrow is today’s dream, so do not procrastinate because tomorrow may not come to some of us.” While we are living on this planet, we must always try to help one another; In other words, Christians helping Christians. I truly believe God will approve of this and will bless you and your church much more. Amen!

It may be difficult for a church to stand-alone and confront the wickedness of Satan and his followers, but if we were to join in unity, then we become the Mighty Force Of Christians. Satan and his followers won’t like it at all and they will move out of there. Therefore, we must all help each other, so we can withstand or overcome all the trickery of Satan and his followers trying to deceive us. In other words, we should never fall into their snares. Every opportunity you have, keep praying to the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit to lead all of us to the godly path. Does it make sense to you? If it does! Amen! (So be it)

Aloha to all of you from Pastor Jimmy Nishimoto and Chris Eliason.

(117) WORSHIP THE LORD JESUS

We must always worship the Lord Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit everyday until we take our last breath on this planet. Worshiping the Lord Jesus from your heart, it becomes the most joyful moment of your life. Why? “The Joy of the Lord is our strength in our life.” We can worship the Lord Jesus anytime, anywhere and anyplace. How about right now in Jesus Mighty Name? Will that be all right? Ready set go!

Suggested Prayer:

Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all my sins and have mercy upon me. Sins in the past to this present day, I ask that you wash all of my sins with your precious blood and make me whole. Lord Jesus, today I ask you to use me as your humble servant, where I could be able to do your work and help others that need to be helped in your Mighty Name. Thank You Lord Jesus. Amen!

Make it a brief and a simple prayer. When a person makes a sincere prayer to the Lord Jesus, the Lord understands you by reading your heart, before it comes out of your mouth, so it isn’t necessary to make a long or fancy prayer.


If it is a church, have an authorized person bless the church’s areas to keep all the ungodly angels away from the church’s premises. If it is a private home, where a group of people holds their bible study, have the home blessed by an authorized person from the group. Why? Many times, when the worship team or group starts singing the worship songs, it may attract the ungodly angels and they may come over to the church or home and may enter without anyone knowing about it. Sometimes, problems may arise within the church or home.

For example, Let’s talk about fishing, when you reach the shoreline at the beach and start throwing some sardines from the can as chum, do you believe all kinds of fish will be attracted to the chum? I know they will, because whenever time permits me to go fishing, I always start chumming the water to attract the fish, so I can catch them. I feel that this is the same scenario with the demonic spirit/spirits. Does it make sense so far? Amen!

Suggested closing prayer for the church or home:

Lord Jesus, we thank you for being with us throughout the service of this morning or evening. However, we are coming to the closing of our service and as we are about to leave the premises, we ask you to protect each and every one of us till we reach our destination. Lord Jesus we ask that not one single strand of our hair shall be harmed upon us and we ask that you bring us back safely to the church or to this home again. Thank You Lord Jesus! Forever more the Father, forever more the Son and forever more the Power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!

Now this is a very short prayer, it can be prayed within 45 seconds and it can be very powerful and effective, if you were to pray from your heart, not from the corner of your mouth.


Some people believe because they are in a church, Satan and his followers cannot enter. Satan tempted and confronted our Lord Jesus; when the Devil told him, (3) if you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread. (4) Jesus told him No! ‘People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God. (5) The devil took him to Jerusalem, to highest point of the Temple (6) and said if you the Son of God jump off! (7) Jesus responded, by saying do not test the Lord your God. (8) When the Devil took Jesus to the peak of the mountain and showed him the nations of the world and all their glory. (9) The Devil told him, I will give it all to you, if you kneel down and worship me. (10) Jesus told the devil, you must worship the Lord your God; serve only him. You will find these scriptures written in Matthew 4:3-10.



So as you can see, if the Devil can approach the Lord Jesus himself, then who are we? Nothing! Absolutely Nothing! But we could become something when we have the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit within our heart and have the Lord’s precious blood upon us. Don’t you agree with me? Until then, we can’t say that because we are in a church or a home and the demonic spirit/spirits cannot enter. Believe me they can enter in any church or home, until they see the blood of the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. (Locally way of speaking, they will dig out!) Amen! Remember the blood of the Lord Jesus is the most important and also get baptized by the Holy Spirit. Does it make sense to you so far? Now if it does make sense to you? “Praise the Lord!”

From the time we started till today, I have taught OJT (On the Job Training) to Mr. John Ide and I am very pleased for all the knowledge and experiences he has acquired from the Lord and me. I truly believe the Lord Jesus will use him to do the Lord’s work and to help others that need to be helped in Jesus Mighty Name. Praise the Lord!


I pray this message will be very informative to you.

Aloha to all of you from Pastor Jimmy Nishimoto and Chris Eliason.

(116) COMBATING WITH THE DEMONIC SPIRIT

Whether we like it or not, Satan and his demonic spirits are here on this planet. It is like germs or bacteria; can you see them with your naked eyes? No! But you and I cannot say they do not exist, believe me they do exist. I truly believe this is the same scenario with the demonic spirits. I believe in my bible Satan is mentioned 52 times, devil and demon is mentioned 54 times and 58 times hell is mentioned, so Brothers and Sisters in Christ we cannot ignore it by saying they do not exist in this world, believe me they do exist! Now, we all know Satan cannot destroy God, but he wants to destroy all what God had created on this planet, mostly man. I have been going to many homes and places to pray for many people, when people call me. Sometime, I can see these demonic spirits in the building or home. Most of them are ugly spirits, like angry animal faces and huge spirits.

When I enter into the building or home, sometime, they make themselves very scarce to me. For that reason, I always remind the person or family not to mention my name and that I am coming over to their home. (Local way of speaking, they dig out!) Sometimes, when I am doing the blessing in the home, it sure takes a lot of energy out of me. Sometimes, I get very tired and want to go home and sleep.

Sometimes, I have had people ask me a question, why I do a lot of house blessings? My answer to that question is, I had made a promise to the Lord Jesus and to my late Kahu (Shepherd) when people call me I will go to that home or place in the name of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. All these years, I have kept my promise to the Lord Jesus and to my late Kahu. So we must be very careful what we promise to God and to the Holy Spirit. Once it comes out of your mouth, you cannot retract it back. In other words, it is written in the eyes of God.

Out of eleven hundred homes, I truly believe fifteen to twenty young children were saved from the demonic spirit’s attack. When I think about a young child or children, I will make every effort to go to their homes and cast out the demonic spirit/spirits from their home. Most of the children were between three to nine years old, they look very innocent and cute. Sometimes, I see them in the supermarket or shopping center and they look very fine. Praise the Lord! So as you can see, that is one of the reasons that I will go to their home and pray for them.

Many times when you bind the spirit/spirits in Jesus Mighty Name, they cannot escape from you. Why? It is like an invisible lasso you put upon them. When you apply the Lord’s precious blood upon them and send them to the pits of hell, they really don’t like it at all. Once they are escorted to the pits of hell by the angels, they cannot come back again. When you apply the Lord’s precious blood on them, I truly believe they will glow as they are descending into the pits of hell.

Just imaging, while you are walking in the night, your whole body glowing like a light bulb as you travel to your destination. I am sure many of us would be very uncomfortable. Am I right? Sure, some of you may think you really don’t need a flashlight to walk in the dark. Believe me it would be very uncomfortable, don’t you agree with me? Now this would be the same scenario when the demonic spirits have the Lord’s precious blood upon them. It will glow on them and they don’t like it. Remember, they are rulers of darkness, not ruler of lightness, so they really don’t like the light shining upon them.

Now, let’s get back to combating the demonic spirit/spirits. Okay? Always pray for protection upon you and your family by praying on the whole Armor of God, you will find it in Ephesians 6:11 “The Whole Armor of God.” Remember we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but the thin of the air. We cannot punch or kick these demonic spirits. We can defeat these spirits only by praying the words of God and by applying the Lord’s precious blood upon them. You may use scriptures by praying on Psalm 67: 1-7 to cast out any demonic spirit/spirits out of the home. When you cast it out from the home, send them to the pits of hell in Jesus Mighty Name.

Now I am not discouraging or encouraging people to cast out any demonic spirit, it all depends on the individual’s faith with the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit to do this kind of work for the Lord. It is not as simple or easy as you think; it requires authorization from the Lord Jesus. Remember, this demonic spirit can deceive, destroy or it can kill you or your family, such as your husband, wife, children or even your grandchildren. As you can see, we cannot take them too lightly and think you got them. No!

Now, if this ever happens to you or your family, you can’t call a police officer or just any minister to help you. It would take a certain individual to help you and your family. So as you can see, you must be very careful in doing this type of work. For me, I gently place my hand on the back of the person’s neck area and cast it out of the person. Why? That is where I truly believe the demon’s housing is, in the back of the neck area, trying to control the person. Sometime people tell me he or she sleeps many hours and they are still tired when they get up, sometimes the demonic spirit is on the back of the neck area. In other words, there is extra weight on the back that he or she is carrying throughout the day.

There are many different ways the demonic spirit/spirits may enter into the person’s body and mind. For examples: our mouth, eyes, ears, nose and our private areas are very vulnerable areas. For example, when a person catches a cold, it doesn’t enter in from our toes or legs, but through our nose or mouth. Right? How about ear infection, it doesn’t enter from our belly or feet and etc. Are you with me so far? We must always pray to the Lord to seal these areas that I have mentioned above, and ask God to seal it with His precious’ blood to prevent them from entering into your mind and body.

Yesterday, (3/5/11), after lunch hour, my left arm, left cheek and left chest was a little heavy, it seemed like a mild heart attack, so I called my good friend Brother Carl Okuyama and he encouraged me to go the Hospital Emergency Room; as a matter of fact, he picked me up at my home and took me to the ER. The doctor and the nurse put an Iv into my arm, took X-rays, Mri and blood tests, from 2:00 PM. To 11:00 PM., a total of nine hours in the room.

While I was in my room, I prayed to my Father God up in heaven to protect me and heal me in Jesus Mighty Name and I rebuked every unclean spirit out of me in Jesus Mighty Name. They told me at 9:30 PM. I needed to repeat my tests again, which I did and they would let me know the results. At approximately 10:20 PM., the doctor came into my room and said, everything looks great in the tests and they are no signs of a heart attack or stroke. I immediately prayed and thanked my Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for being with me. Praise the Lord! So whenever you need go to the hospital, make a short prayer for yourself to the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I believe it will make a lot of difference for you.

I have a confession to make; I forgot to pray this morning to the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit for the protection upon me. Usually, I always make my prayer in the morning and because I didn’t pray, I feel that is when the demonic spirits took advantage of me.

At this time, I would like thank my Sr. Pastor Tim Waugh, Pastor Jeff Lagrimas, Pastor Dennise Lagrimas and members of the Crossnet Ministries for praying for me, also my good friend Brother Carl Okuyama for helping me by taking me to the ER Hospital. Most of all I would like to thank my Father God up in heaven and the power of the Holy Spirit for restoring my health and making it possible for me. Amen!

The moral of this message is: always ask for protection for you and your family in Jesus Mighty Name. In other words, don’t leave any opening for any demonic spirit/spirits to enter into your mind and body.

(115) TITHES AND OFFERINGS

We as Christian believers must give our tithes and offerings to God. When we give our tithes or offerings to God, we must give it in a cheerful way. In other words, let’s give our offerings from within our heart. (NLT) Matthew 23:23 How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest part of your income, * but you ignore the important things of the law- justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe! In other words, no one is exempt in the eyes of God.

I am sure many of you know the story of the two sons of Adam and Eve, right? Well the son’s names were Abel and Cain. Cain became a farmer and Abel became a shepherd. At the harvest time, Cain brought to the Lord a gift of his farm produce, while Abel brought several choice lambs from the best of his flock. Now whose gifts did God accept? Was it Cain or Abel? You will find the answer in Genesis 4: 4.

Time after time I have mentioned to all of you that we as human beings living on this planet are sinners, the day our mothers had conceived us, we are borne with sins as stated in Psalm 51: 5. Well, what can we do? First we must ask God for forgiveness and give our offerings or tithes to God. Why? When we give our offering not 50%, 75% but 100% in a cheerful way, then I truly believe, God will bless you much more and the curses will be removed from you. Why? You have shown your OBEDIENCE to God. Now, I truly believe Abel gave his offering to God, the BEST of his flock that he could at that time, so God accepted Abel’s offering.

Sure God doesn’t need our money at all, but God will look into a person’s heart and God will know, if you had given in a cheerful way. Does it make sense to you so far? After the authorized Reverend, Pastor, Elder or even Deacon blesses the offering, God will accept your gifts and bless you much more as stated in Malachi 3:10.

After the Lord accepts the offering, then the church may use the offering to help to defray the church’s expenses. The church will pay to keep God’s home clean and available for everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

I would like to remind all of you to name your seeds, when you make the offering, just think of yourself as a farmer, planting your seeds into the ground. For example, when a farmer wants to have cabbages on his farm, he will plant cabbage seeds. If he wants corn, then he will plant corn seeds. Right? Now if you need a good job? Plant your job seed. If you need a home, plant your home seed and etc. Does it make sense to you so far? If it does, then will all of you say Amen? Amen!


The moral of this message is giving your offering in a cheerful way.

Aloha to all of you.

(114) MIND, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE

Yes, if your mind can BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit and if you can RECIEVE all the knowledge and the blessing, you can ACHIEVE of becoming a strong Christian believer. Amen to that!

Many times I had mentioned in the past, fear of the lord would be your salvation and when the person doesn’t fear the lord that would be his or her damnation. For me, I would rather face a lion or tiger than face the Lord. Why? With the lion or tiger, I know I may be killed or injured, but with the Lord, there is nothing I can hide from the Lord Jesus. Mark 4: 22 tells us, everything hidden or secret will be brought to light. Are you with me so far?

Let’s discuss the word “Believe”. If your mind could believe in the lord Jesus with your entire heart and soul, then I truly believe Jesus will look and see your true heart, because the true temple of God is within your heart. Now, if you could receive all the knowledge, such as knowing and understanding all of God’s words that are written within the bible and receive the entire blessing from the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit, then there are no reasons for you not to Achieve of becoming a strong Christian believer. Amen!

Every day of our life we must always ask God to forgive us for all of our sins and have mercy upon us. There is not a single person living on this planet that is perfect. Remember forgiveness is your answer to many of your problems. Now this must prayed from your heart, not from the corner of your mouth. Why? God looks into a person’s heart. Let me ask you a question, have you made your prayer today? Now, if your answer is no. It is not too late. How about right now? Praying can be done anytime, anyplace or anywhere. Remember, praying can be very powerful, if you pray to the Lord Jesus sincerely from your heart.

Suggested Prayer:

Lord Jesus please forgive me for all of my sins and have mercy upon me. Lord Jesus I ask you to apply your precious blood upon me, from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, in and out of my body and make me whole in Jesus Mighty Name. Lord Jesus I ask that you make me to be your useful servant, where I could be able to do your work. Thank You Jesus! Amen!

Now as you can see, it is not a long prayer, but it is a very effective prayer, when a person prays sincerely from his or her heart.

Many times, I have observed in some Christian churches, people just go through the motions at church, by singing the worship songs and trying to pray without focusing their minds to the Lord Jesus. After the church service is over, they starting to gossip again. Does it make sense to you? No! If they are doing it, then just leave it in the hands of God. Never judge that person or anyone. In other words, let God judge that person. Why? God is the judge and jury. If that ever happens to you, just smile and walk away from that person. Why? Lets say you had prayed and asked God for forgiveness for all of your sins and let’s say God had forgiven you and here comes another person who starts to gossip again. Don’t you think listening to gossip is committing a sin? Of course it is! Without the person knowing about it, Satan may be using him or her by spreading all the rumors and lies of another person. We as Christian believers are trying very hard to walk one-step forward at a time to the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit and by listening to the gossip; it is like taking two or three steps backward away from the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. All the sincere praying you had prayed for seems like it is going down the drain. Are you with me so far?

Some people really pray from their heart and have relationship with Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord! Sometimes, you may be able to see the “Aura” upon the person, for me, I am very happy for that person. When a person has relationship with the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, you may be able to see the color of their face and it starts to glow in a spiritual vision and sometimes, tears of the joy of the Lord and the Holy Spirit will be upon that person. For me, I truly believe that is the most priceless moment for that person. Amen to that!

Always remember this: If your mind can “Believe and Receive, you can Achieve in your Christian walk with the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit within your life. Amen!

Aloha to all of you!
