The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

 

On Sunday, April 20, 2025, Times Square Church streamed its main Easter service live from Broadway, New York, via its YouTube channel. The church choir, known as the Black Sheeps, wore black outfits on Good Friday and white tunics on Easter Sunday as part of their performance. The sermon, titled "25 Words That Changed Everything," was delivered by Pharisee Tim Dilena, who based his message on John 3:16. Drawing from content originally posted on this series, he emphasized that God’s love, demonstrated through the sacrificial death of Jesus, offers a pardon that must be personally received to inherit eternal life.

It is a false teaching to claim that everyone will inherit eternal life. Salvation is not automatic; it requires walking with God, having true faith in Him, and experiencing genuine repentance—a turning from sin that only God can grant. It involves loving both God and others, obeying His Word, and remaining committed to continual spiritual growth and transformation. Believers are called to pursue Christlikeness, striving for holiness and perfection. As Scripture declares: “We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18), “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16), and “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48).

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

The wicked fall into their own nets (Psalms 141:10). For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them (Ecclesiastes 9:12).

The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted (Proverbs 10:24).

 

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).

 

As we await God's justice upon His enemies and the fulfillment of His judgment on America—directed at both the U.S. government and His Church—we continue to witness the ongoing persecution of Karen Rajabian at the hands of the Trump administration, characterized by authoritarian control. This administration remains deeply invested in monitoring and targeting her, employing spy satellites in coordination with both mainstream and independent media. Their surveillance encompasses her personal and professional devices, which remain under constant watch. Her phone calls, emails, and online activities are routinely intercepted, and her website endures frequent hacking attempts, hijackings, and blocked updates. These relentless efforts, have made it increasingly difficult to keep this blog active and this series consistent. Yet, despite continued resistance from the false and deceitful Christian president who persecutes the Church of Jesus Christ, as well as from false Christians within the Church who oppose God's work in America, through divine guidance, Commander-in-Chief elect Rajabian will ultimately triumph in the fight for the presidency and inherit the modern-day land of Canaan (Genesis 14:1–24).

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International streamed another archived Sunday service on YouTube, focusing on James 2:1-26. This sermon, originally delivered by Maria Luisa Piraquive at the headquarters on October 2, 2022, is part of a series featuring previous services from the Book of James, covering chapters 1 to 5. The church has been inconsistent in live-streaming its sermons, revealing two notable patterns. First, whenever Piraquive preaches live, new excuses and justifications frequently emerge, which divert attention from the Lord's work. Second, there is often a reluctance to preach altogether, seemingly to avoid acknowledging God's ministry within the church. This behavior positions her as an obstacle, especially as more truths about her spiritual shortcomings and rejection of God's ministry are revealed, exposing a lack of genuine spirituality. Despite these challenges, Karen continues to rely on the Lord unwaveringly.

If Rajabian had been in Piraquive's position, with humility, she would have embraced the unity of the church, tested the prophecy, received and welcomed Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry entrusted to her, and invited Piraquive to congregate with the church, waiting for the Lord to complete the stages of glory in her life, transforming her into the image of Jesus Christ. As the scriptures say, "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Instead, Piraquive has demonstrated that, despite preaching the word of God, she has failed to live out its deeper teachings. She has neglected the transformative power of God’s word, not applying it to her own life. While her sermons speak of humility, faith, and the need for transformation, her actions contradict these principles. Her refusal to acknowledge the spiritual path that could have united and elevated those around her reflects a lack of true spiritual maturity.

In spite of her credentials  as a preacher, Maria Luisa Piraquive remains detached from genuine faith. The essence of faith is not simply preaching, but being like Jesus through compassion, humility,  love   for  God ,  trust  in Him, loving others, and openness to His will especially when it comes to empowering others in the body of Christ. 

The seeds of God’s word she received from preacher Rajabian have fallen on the thorny ground of her heart, which is hardened and chokes out the word, rendering it ineffective. Despite God’s protection of His church and its assets from adversity, Piraquive seems preoccupied with worldly concerns, guarding the material wealth of the church rather than focusing on heavenly matters, particularly the imminent revelation of God to the world. This revelation will be glorious, bringing healing, restoring the deaf to hearing, the blind to sight, the mute to speech, and the lame to walk. 

Instead of advancing the work of the Lord, Maria Luisa Piraquive stands as an obstacle, hindering His way. Her lack of spiritual action and failure to work in the unity of the church with preacher Rajabian contradicts her own message that “we are saved by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8), and "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). Money is what causes people to err from faith. Paul the apostle told Timothy that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and that desiring wealth leads to temptation, to a snare, and to other lusts, which in turn lead to destruction (1 Timothy 6:10). 

Today, we remember the words of Jesus, saying that “we will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16).

In contrast, preacher Rajabian remains steadfast in her mission, "Preparing the Way of the Lord," and as part of her calling, Karen is exposing the evil within the church—uncovering lies, hidden truths, and sinful actions that block the way of the Lord before His revelation to Israel and the world.

 

On Sunday, April 27, 2025, Times Square Church streamed its main service live from Broadway, New York, on its YouTube channel. Tim Dilena, often referred to as a 'black sheep,' delivered a sermon titled 'I Owe You an Apology,' which carried a double meaning. In his message, he apologized to the congregation for ignoring the Holy Spirit’s prompting to turn the previous Palm Sunday service into a prayer meeting, choosing instead to proceed with his planned sermon. This moment revealed a lack of biblical insight, particularly in understanding how God engages with people during certain times and circumstances. Nevertheless, Dilena, with a Pharisaic tone, urged listeners to become a people who respond to battles with immediate prayer, because the day we call for help is the day the tide begins to turn."

The true test of genuine believers is unmistakable: those who truly follow God do not persecute His servants—only false Christians do. When someone persecutes the servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are, in reality, persecuting Jesus Himself. This was made clear when Jesus confronted Saul (later known as Paul), saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” (Acts 9:4). In other words, Jesus does not support or bless the actions and ambitions of counterfeit Christians. Paul experience with Jesus was unique and exceptional!

Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

 

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International aired a live broadcast of their main church service from a local church in Bogota, Colombia, streaming it on their official YouTube channel. Apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive preached on Matthew 20:1-34, a chapter that addresses the parable of the workers in the vineyard, emphasizing God's generosity and the reversal of worldly expectations, along with Jesus' prediction of his death and the request for greatness by James and John's mother.

 

The church has demonstrated inconsistency in live-streaming its sermons, revealing two recurring patterns. First, whenever Piraquive preaches live, new excuses and justifications often surface, distracting from the true purpose of serving the Lord. In a moment reminiscent of the Pharisees at Times Square Church, she told a brief, double-edged story that subtly implied Karen’s spiritual struggles may be due to her actions or words not aligning with God’s will regarding her prophetic calling. She insinuated that Karen would only receive spiritual gifts and a calling to serve once she was fully prepared to receive power from on High. This implication appeared to justify her failure to acknowledge God’s ministry—an attitude that, as we have explained, cannot be justified before the Lord.

 

Whether or not Karen has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God's power can still be revealed through her and others—even if they have not yet received the specific gift of performing extraordinary healing miracles. The Lord has made clear since the Old Testament times that He works through whomever He chooses, delivering people and performing miracles or simply through prayer and the invocation of His name.

 

We have repeatedly addressed and corrected the teachings of Apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive, who often claims that the Lord has revealed Scripture to her. If her teachings were truly from God, they would be flawless—but they are not. In fact, since we published this blog in 2019, she has been learning from Karen Rajabian and teaching her revelations and interpretations of the teachings of Jesus.

 

The second pattern is a frequent reluctance to preach at all, seemingly to avoid acknowledging the ministry that God is raising up within the church. This hesitation places her as a stumbling block, especially as more truths emerge about her spiritual shortcomings and rejection of God’s work. Despite these obstacles, Karen remains steadfast in her faith and continues to rely fully on the Lord, just as Abraham did.

 

If Rajabian had been in Piraquive's position, with humility, she would have embraced the unity of the church, tested the prophecy, received and welcomed Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry entrusted to her, and invited Piraquive to congregate with the church, waiting for the Lord to complete the stages of glory in her life, transforming her into the image of Jesus Christ. As the scriptures say, "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

 

Instead, Piraquive has demonstrated that she fails to live according to the message she preaches, especially in light of Matthew 20:1–34, which highlights the theme of working in the Lord's vineyard—serving Him without expecting financial reward and safeguarding His possessions—something she herself has been guilty of. She has neglected the transformative power of God’s word, not applying it to her own life. While her sermons speak of humility, faith, and the need for transformation, her actions contradict these principles. Her refusal to acknowledge the spiritual path that could have united and elevated those around her reflects a lack of true spiritual maturity.
