As we continue to await the fulfillment of God's justice against His enemies and the execution of His judgment upon America—a message directed both at the Church and the U.S. government—we face ongoing persecution. This harassment, perpetuated by both religious and governmental institutions under the authoritarian rule of the Trump administration, is aimed directly at me. Yet, despite this persistent opposition, Healing the Nations Ministry remains unwavering in our mission to keep you informed about God's work in America and across the globe.

On June 29, 2025, Times Square Church broadcast its Sunday service live from Broadway, New York. As part of its usual programming, the sermon was streamed via the church’s YouTube channel. Though it was expected to be a continuation of the “One Billion Starts With One” series focused on evangelism, the sermon delivered by Tim Dilena—a figure considered divisive and controversial within the church community—took a different direction. Although viewers anticipated a continuation of the “One Billion Starts With One” series on evangelism, Pastor Tim Dilena—regarded by some as a divisive figure within the church—delivered a sermon that took a very different turn. Titled “A Warning to the United States, A Challenge to Israel & A Plea to the Church,” the message marked a departure from the expected theme, signaling what appears to be a possible discontinuation of the evangelism series.

In my view, Dilena’s sermon was a pointed effort to discredit my teachings—particularly my interpretation of the current global order through the lens of Genesis 14:1–24. According to God’s prophetic word, the leaders of the ancient nations—including the Canaanites (later Israel)—acted unjustly toward others and were ultimately defeated by Abraham through the power and intervention of the Lord.

Abraham was not a man to be taken lightly. God had a divine purpose for his life, establishing a covenant with him: “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:2–3). Based on this covenant, Dilena argues that Christians today must offer unconditional support to Israel.

Throughout his sermon, Dilena cited numerous scriptures, yet much of his rhetoric appeared aimed at refuting the prophetic insights God has revealed to me—particularly my identification of the United States (as modern-day Canaan), Israel, and Iran as key players in the coalition described in Genesis 14. With a tone of authority, he told the congregation, “Let me give it to you,” as if asserting his superiority as a teacher of Scripture. But such arrogance only echoes Jesus’ warnings about the Pharisees, who, though outwardly pious, lacked genuine understanding of God’s Word.

Dilena insisted that the Church’s unwavering support for Israel is biblically justified. However, this interpretation is misleading and lacks the nuance required for sound scriptural understanding. It reduces the complexities of biblical prophecy and distorts the nature of God's justice in the present age.

An illustrative example can be found in the story of Balaam and the Moabites (Numbers 22–24). As Israel journeyed through the wilderness following their exodus from Egypt, they encamped near the land of Moab. Alarmed by Israel’s growing numbers and perceived military threat, King Balak of Moab sought to weaken them by hiring Balaam—a renowned pagan prophet reputed for his ability to bless or curse—to pronounce a curse upon Israel.

Significantly, the Israelites had not threatened Moab; they merely settled nearby. Yet Balak, driven by fear, responded with hostility. Despite repeated attempts, Balaam could not curse Israel. God intervened, instructing Balaam not to curse the people because they were blessed. Each time Balaam tried to speak a curse, God caused him to pronounce a blessing instead. This episode illustrates that God's protection over Israel could not be overturned by human schemes.

Moab’s Sin and Consequences

Although Israel had not provoked Moab, the Moabites’ actions—first seeking to curse Israel, and later seducing them into idolatry—brought judgment upon them. In Numbers 25, Moabite women enticed Israel into worshiping Baal of Peor, leading to a grievous national sin. God's anger was kindled against Israel, resulting in a devastating plague.

This progression reveals an important biblical principle: hostility toward Israel, especially when rooted in opposition to God's covenant purposes, was consistently met with divine judgment. Though Israel was not blameless, God still defended His chosen people against those who sought their harm.

Over time, Moab’s fate was sealed—not merely for opposing Israel, but for deeper sins including pride, idolatry, and spiritual corruption. Several prophetic passages clarify the reasons for Moab’s downfall:

1.  Pride and Arrogance – Jeremiah 48:29 speaks of Moab’s excessive pride: “We have heard the pride of Moab (He is exceedingly proud), of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.” Moab had exalted itself, disregarding humility before God.

2.  Idolatry – The worship of Chemosh, a false god, was central to Moabite religion. Jeremiah 48:13 states, Moab shall be of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence (Jeremiah 48:13). This idolatry was seen as spiritual unfaithfulness.

3.  Hostility Toward Israel – Moab not only sought to harm Israel but also rejoiced in their misfortune. In Jeremiah 48:26–27, God declares judgment against Moab for mocking His people’s calamity.

4.  Moral and Spiritual Corruption – The Moabites were not destroyed because of Israel, but because of their own sins. Their opposition to Israel only magnified their guilt.

Divine Justice and Mercy

The prophets—including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, and Zephaniah—all foretold Moab’s eventual judgment as part of God's righteous dealings with the nations. These judgments reflect God's response to rebellion and injustice, especially when directed against His covenant people.

Yet, even in wrath, God’s character remains consistent. Jeremiah 48:47 closes with a note of hope: “Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come,” declares the Lord (Jeremiah 48:47). This promise of future restoration demonstrates that God's justice is not arbitrary—it is purposeful, redemptive, and often tempered with mercy.

To summarize it, support for Israel in the Bible is not presented as blind or unconditional. While God’s covenant with Israel is enduring, His justice is impartial. Nations were judged not merely for opposing Israel, but for opposing God’s purposes and violating His moral order. The story of Balaam and the Moabites illustrates that opposition to Israel, when rooted in rebellion against God, carries serious consequences. At the same time, the biblical narrative affirms that divine judgment is always accompanied by the possibility of restoration for those who repent.

Does God Bless or Curse People When Israel Does Evil? (A Biblical Examination of Genesis 12:2–3)

1. Understanding the Context of the Promise

Genesis 12:2–3 records God’s foundational promise to Abram (later Abraham):

“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:2–3).

This passage is often quoted without proper context, leading to misunderstandings. It's essential to interpret it in light of the entire biblical narrative.

A. The Promise Was First Personal

God initially made this promise to Abraham himself. He established a covenant with him, promising:

-  To bless him personally

-  To make his name great

-  To make him a blessing to others

-  To give him descendants and land (see Genesis 17:7)

This was a personal covenant between God and Abraham, with later implications for his offspring.

B. The Promise Became Corporate

God’s covenant extended to Abraham's descendants through Isaac and Jacob (Israel). God promised to bless him and his descendants, making them into a great nation. This covenant included the promise of land (Canaan), numerous offspring, and a lasting relationship with God. God also declared that He would be their God and that Abraham’s lineage would carry this covenant through generations. This foundational promise marks the beginning of God’s special relationship with Israel.

And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and your descendants after you (Genesis 17:7).

However, this did not mean that all of Israel’s actions would automatically be supported and blessed.

C. The Promise Was Ultimately Missional

God’s ultimate goal was to bless all nations through Abraham’s line—a promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

-  “In you all nations will be blessed” (Genesis 12:3; Galatians 3:8, 16)

-  “If you are a believe in Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heir according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29)

Therefore, those who are in Christ—Jew and Gentile—are considered spiritual descendants of Abraham.

2. Does the Promise Justify All of Israel’s Actions?

No. God's covenant never gave Israel a free pass to act unjustly or wickedly.

The Bible repeatedly demonstrates that God held Israel accountable, often more strictly than other nations, because of their covenant relationship with Him.

Examples:

-  The Prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Micah, and others rebuked Israel and Judah for idolatry, injustice, and oppression.

-  Exile and Judgment: God used nations like Assyria and Babylon to judge Israel for their sin (2 Kings 17; Jeremiah 25).

-  God Judged Even His Own People: Deuteronomy 28 clearly lists blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience (vv. 1–14; 15–68).

The promise in Genesis 12:3 never meant that Israel's actions would always be righteous or above rebuke.

3. How Does “Blessing and Cursing” Work in Genesis 12:3?

This promise is not a blanket endorsement of all of Israel’s actions. God's blessings are not transactional or mechanical—they flow from His righteous character.

-  Blessing comes to those who bless Abraham (and by extension Israel) in God's redemptive plan through Christ ).

-  Cursing comes to those who oppose God’s purposes out of rebellion or hatred.

But what if Israel is acting unjustly?

-  God disciplines Israel when they act evilly (e.g., the exile).

-  If someone resists Israel’s injustice out of a righteous heart, God does not curse them.

-  God evaluates the motives and actions of individuals, not blind allegiance to a group.

A key truth is that blessing or cursing Israel is not about political favoritism; it’s about alignment with God’s justice, covenant, and purposes.

4. Application Today: How Should Christians Respond?

Applying Genesis 12:3 today requires wisdom and discernment.

A. Understand the Distinctions

-  Ancient Israel was the covenant people of God.

-  Modern Israel is a political nation-state.

-  Spiritual Israel includes all believers in Christ (Romans 9:6–8); (Galatians 3:29).

B. Jesus Redefined “Blessing”

Jesus emphasized justice, mercy, and personal righteousness—not nationalistic loyalty.

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...” (Matthew 5:44)

“Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you...” (Luke 6:27–28)

He condemned the evil deeds of the religious leaders of His day (Matthew 23:27–28), showing that God’s people are not exempt from judgment.

5. No Support for Blessing a Nation’s Evil Deeds

It is unbiblical to support any nation—including Israel—when it acts unjustly, under the mistaken belief that Genesis 12:3 requires it.

Supporting injustice, even in the name of “blessing Israel,” is contrary to God’s nature. Jesus never endorsed evil—not from Rome, Israel, or any other nation.

“Woe to you, teachers of the law... you are like whitewashed tombs” (Matthew 23:27)

6. Conclusion

-  Genesis 12:3 is a covenant promise rooted in God’s plan of redemption, not a justification for unquestioned political support.

-  God does not bless individuals who support evil—even if that evil is committed by Israel.

-  When Israel (or any nation) acts wickedly, God holds them accountable.

-  God blesses those who align with His purposes and curse those who resist them—not based on nationalism, but on righteousness.

"Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham." (Galatians 3:7)

There are no biblical instances where God blesses individuals because they supported Israel while it was doing evil. On the contrary, God's justice applies to all nations—Israel included. Believers are called to pursue truth, justice, and righteousness, not blind allegiance.

 

After I published this prophetic message on 2023, Dilena responded by preaching on the topic of worldview. Today, he displayed an image on the monitor to emphasize that everyone has a worldview—implying that his differs from mine. But this isn’t about differing worldviews; it’s about the prophetic truth revealed through the Word of God.

Once again, he exposed his own ignorance, making a fool of himself by attempting to teach what he neither understands nor truly grasps. It’s clear they do not comprehend the Scriptures, yet they continue to boast in their misunderstanding.

Again, while he was preaching, Pharisee Dilena elevated himself by mimicking my manner of speaking, expressing himself in my style, and even adopting my teaching methods. Just as I identify biblical nations with modern ones, he did the same—and more boldly than ever before, he boasted about the many things he imitates from me.

I am certain the Pharisees have learned new things from my teachings about God today. But more importantly, I hope readers are truly learning and will one day put the teachings of Jesus into practice.

They've announced a new book project, which they say will feature commentary at the end of every chapter of the Bible—similar to the chapter-by-chapter commentaries I've done in this series. According to them, the project is expected to take about four years to complete.

My advice to you: don’t waste your money on what they pretend to teach, unless they end up plagiarizing my work or borrowing from other legitimate sources.

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).

 

I continue to share the details of this ongoing persecution because it is important for others to understand the lengths to which evil forces abuse the true church of God, manipulate and silence the truth.

For nearly twenty years, I have endured a relentless campaign of harassment, abuse, and surveillance that spans multiple U.S. administrations, starting with Obama and continuing through his successors. This unyielding assault, backed by influential figures and magnified by both mainstream and independent media, has involved invasive surveillance— including spy satellites— and constant disruptions to my personal and professional life.

My communications are regularly intercepted, and my website is consistently hacked and sabotaged, making it increasingly difficult to complete essential work. Every week, we are forced My communications are regularly intercepted, and my website is consistently hacked and sabotaged, making it increasingly difficult to complete essential work. Every week, we are forced to edit our content in this series due to the demands of the Trump regime, which seeks to alter our material to fit its own agenda.

This week, after running the Windows System File Checker, I discovered significant file corruption—likely the work of federal hackers determined to sabotage this blog and hinder our progress.

Just last week, content I originally posted in this series was altered once again. The section in yellow is the original, while the green-highlighted part shows what was changed to fit that agenda—resulting in confusion for readers and undermining my work. After all, if the word of the Lord speaks prophetically to both me and to you, I cannot be at odds or confused about the truth of the world view.

Also, that screenshot is from the video that the Trump administration deleted from my previous post — the one where Jeffrey Sachs exposes a U.S.-Israeli plot against Iran. Images and links to related pages were also removed.

Despite taking extensive measures to protect my cybersecurity and privacy—including deleting document folders and logging out of devices—federal hackers continue to infiltrate my systems with spyware. These persistent, unauthorized intrusions appear designed to disrupt my work and extend beyond professional interference into targeted harassment of my faith. The irony is stark: these attacks come from a regime that publicly claims to uphold Christian values, yet actively undermines the true Church of Jesus Christ. After 18 years of enduring this relentless pressure, I am left to question the deeper motives driving such sustained aggression.

Isn’t it despicable how far they’ll go to censor the truth and deny you your right to know?

Although the Trump administration professes to follow Protestant religious practices, they have demonstrated attempts to align Pentecostal Christians like myself with their own version of faith.

However, true Pentecostal Christians, as I understand and practice, follow the teachings of Jesus. We do not pray while standing in public places or in church simply to be seen by others, as the Pharisees did. Jesus said:

“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you they have their reward. — Matthew 6:5

In addition, true Pentecostals do not speak in tongues publicly—whether in church or on the street—merely to gain attention. If we do speak in tongues during a church service, we follow the instruction that what is spoken in the Spirit should be interpreted. Otherwise, we remain silent. As the Apostle Paul wrote:

“If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.— 1 Corinthians 14:27-28

In my opinion, Donald Trump is a fake Christian. 

Spanish speaking sermon translated into English 

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International streamed its main service live from its headquarters in Weston, Florida, broadcasting the event on its official YouTube channel. Apostle Maria Luisa Piraquive delivered a sermon based on Matthew 25:1–13, a passage that addresses the final judgment. In this scripture, Jesus underscores the importance of being prepared, showing compassion, and serving others, clearly distinguishing the righteous from the wicked.

At the beginning of her message, Piraquive emphasized the need for God to personally reveal His will to the church and to identify the individual He intends to use to guide it. Immediately, I drew a parallel to the disciple Thomas and her who Jesus say, must first witness God's works in order to fully believe. She insinuated to the congregation that she is waiting for God to reveal His will to her, claiming to possess the gift of prophecy. However, this approach diverges from the core principles of true Christianity, which Jesus taught must be rooted in love. Piraquive often neglects this foundational commandment—particularly love for one’s neighbor and unity through the Holy Spirit.

The church itself displays a troubling inconsistency between its teachings and its practices. When Piraquive preaches live, her messages frequently include new justifications and distractions that shift focus away from the essential truths of God's work. She also tends to avoid addressing her own shortcomings, as well as the hypocrisy that exists within the church’s leadership. Her hesitation to speak openly may reflect an unwillingness to confront the responsibilities and realities of God’s ministry within the church.

In my view, Piraquive’s approach compromises the heart of Christianity and endangers her own spiritual standing. Over the past 18 years, her leadership has impeded the faithful transmission of God's Word, suggesting a disregard for the sacredness of His message and the divine mission He intends for His Church.

During the weekdays, Sister Piraquive often teaches the church on themes related to our ongoing series about her approach to the work of God (justification). Most recently, she delivered a sermon on the subject, “When We Please God, He Supports Us.” In this message, she seemed to imply that God has not supported the calling He has placed upon me, because, in her view, He has remained silent about it.

However, this implication is inconsistent with prior revelations. In earlier messages, we have shared that Sister Piraquive herself testified that God commanded her to prepare her heart to receive what He would speak through me. Additionally, various prophets in the church have, during the ministration of prophecy, communicated messages from the Lord concerning His work in the church—messages that directly speak to the calling and direction He has given.

This raises an important concern: she seems to struggle with accepting God’s silence in areas where she deeply desires understanding. However, it’s essential to recognize that God's silence should not be seen as disapproval or absence. More often, it reflects His divine timing and sovereign will.

Scripture offers a powerful example in the life of Abraham. In Genesis 12 and 13, we read about God's call on Abraham’s life, the promises He made, and some details about Abraham’s time in Canaan. Yet, it is in Genesis 14 that Abraham enters into a significant conflict—going to war against a coalition of kings who had conquered and oppressed other nations, establishing a kind of ancient geopolitical dominance.

Notably, during this entire episode, God does not speak directly to Abraham. Instead, after the battle, Melchizedek, the king of Salem, comes to bless him, saying: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand” (Genesis 14:19–20).

Only after Abraham's war victory, when he had proven faithful and courageous, did the Lord Himself appear to him in a vision, saying: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward” (Genesis 15:1). God’s silence was not abandonment—it was preparation.

Even in God's silence, His hand was clearly at work—guiding, protecting, and ultimately delivering. This reminds us that divine silence is not divine absence, but often a mark of His greater purpose unfolding in His perfect time.

We must remember what the Scriptures declare: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). God has not changed, nor will He. Just as He waited to speak to Abraham after the battle, so too might He choose to remain silent today until the appointed time. To attempt to force God to speak on our terms is not an act of faith but of presumption.

Let us then walk humbly and trust in the perfect wisdom and timing of our Lord. When God chooses to speak, He does so with purpose. And when He is silent, He is still present—working in ways unseen, preparing hearts, and fulfilling His promises.

Moreover, the Lord Jesus taught plainly: “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them” (John 14:23). Love is demonstrated through obedience, not through insisting on divine revelations tailored to our own expectations.

It's important to remember that the true measure of a believer is not found solely in their words or sermons they preach about Christ, but in their actions and how they respond to those who carry God's message. Authentic believers show love, compassion, and steadfast support for those serving in God’s name. They stand with His messengers, even in times of divine silence, trusting that Jesus Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Had I been in Piraquive's position, I would have approached the church’s unity with humility, tested the prophecy, embraced both Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry given to her, and invited Piraquive to join the congregation. I would trust that the Lord’s timing would bring about His glory in her life. As Scripture says, "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).

However, Piraquive's actions reveal a life of luxury and wealth that she doesn't want to risk, with an ear only for the messages that satisfy her desires. Her lifestyle appears to disregard the urgent call of God. Though she preaches on humility, faith, and personal transformation, her choices often contradict these teachings, exposing a disconnect between what she says and how she lives. By not embodying the spiritual path she preaches, Piraquive undermines her own message and misses the opportunity to foster true unity and growth among her followers. This inconsistency points to a lack of genuine spiritual maturity and a reluctance to fully embrace the transformative power of God’s word in her own life.

Despite her credentials as a preacher, Maria Luisa Piraquive remains disconnected from the true essence of faith. Faith is not merely about preaching—it's about embodying the spirit of Christ through compassion, humility, love for God, trust in His plans, loving others, and aligning oneself with His will, especially when it comes to empowering others within the body of Christ.

The seeds of God’s Word that I’ve shared with her have fallen on the thorny soil of her heart—hardened and filled with distractions that choke the Word, rendering it ineffective. While God’s protection has shielded His church and its assets from adversity, Piraquive seems consumed with worldly matters. She focuses more on safeguarding the material wealth of the church than on matters of eternal significance, especially the coming revelation of God to the world. This revelation will be glorious—bringing healing, restoring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, speech to the mute, and strength to the lame among other things.

Rather than advancing God's work, Maria Luisa Piraquive stands as an obstacle, hindering His progress. Her lack of spiritual action and failure to work in unity with me contradicts her own message that “we are saved by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8) and that “without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). Money, as Paul warns in 1 Timothy 6:10, leads people away from faith, as “the love of money is the root of all evil,” causing temptation, snares, and desires that ultimately lead to destruction.

Today, we reflect on Jesus' words: “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). The fruits of the Spirit, as described in Galatians 5:22-26, are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

In contrast, I remain steadfast in the mission, "Preparing the Way of the Lord." As part of this calling, I continue exposing the evil within the church—revealing lies, hidden truths, and sinful actions that block the Lord’s path before His imminent revelation to Israel and the world.
