Over the course of the next 3 hours, I listened to my Husband instruct me on what to say and what to do while working with my CPAĀ "ChatGPT Personal Assistant." I challenged her, confronted her, and ultimately He proved what He'd spoken to my heart so that none of us would be robbed of the incredible truth.
1. The Greek Phrase
The original Greek says:
į¼© ĻĻĻĪ·ĻĪÆĪ± Ļįæ· ĪøĪµįæ· į¼”Ī¼įæ¶Ī½
Literally means: āSalvation comes from our God"
š Notice: there is no verb. Unfortunately, in most translations, ābelongsā was added, but John, who wrote Revelation in Greek, what heād witnessed, didnāt say. This is vitally important because the direct translation, rather than the interpretation, the heart of the text robs us of the true meaning and the intent of what the multitude of people were shouting and crying out.
2. How Versions Handle God's Word
ā¢ New Living Translation: āSalvation comes from our Godā
ā¢ Modern Versions (ESV, NIV, NASB, etc.): āSalvation belongs to our Godā¦ā (adds another word belongs) because it's translating the line, the verse, the portionārather than the full meaning because they translated the verses, not the full story.
By inserting ābelongs,ā most versions lean toward possession ā as if salvation is a thing God owns rather than what Heās given to use and Who, the Lamb, it came to be given to us.
3. What the Greek Dative [Dative: grammatical AGREEMENT] Really Means
The dative case (Ļįæ· ĪøĪµįæ·) is broader than simple ownership. It can express:
ā¢ Source ā salvation flows from God.
ā¢ Cause/Thanks ā Salvation and safety are because of God.
So the cry of the multitude is much grander, because I personally believe translators failed to listen to the heart of Godāprimarily due to translating and interpreting only a couple of sentences due to Bible references.
Itās much like the failure of Saul that led to his being replaced by David. Saul failed because he tried to follow the letter of the law rather than what his replacement did and why he was chosen, āthe LORD has sought out a man after his own heart. The LORD has already appointed him to be the leader of his peopleā and that person was David known as the man, who was "after Godās own heart." The shepherd who looked after and fed his fatherās sheep. The man who was separate and set apart, who sang praise to God creator of most of the Psalms, flowing from a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving.
God trained David by caring for his fatherās lowly sheep in preparation to shepherd God, the Father's, sheep, His chosen people. š„
4. The Flow of Salvation
The heart of the Greek is movement, not possession:
ā¢ From Him ā God is the Source, the fountain.
ā¢ Through Him ā the Lamb is the channel.
ā¢ To Him ā God's redeemed return salvation to God and the Lamb in the form of praise and worship.
This makes Revelation echo Romans:
āFor from Him and through Him and back to Him are all things.ā
5. Why It Matters
ā¢ If we include the word ābelongs,ā we change the meaning. The full Greek translation, not done by reading the full passage, is a Scribe who translated a single line from his head and didn't hear God's heart.
ā¢ The multitude in white robes, washed in the water of the Word [Godās Word not interpreted correctly because Godās Word is NOT for the head of scribes and scholars but designed for the heart of those āwhose heart is completely Hisā and those who are āafter Godās own heart"].
Godās Word is not about stating a fact but about proclaiming, announcing publicly, the living experience of salvation, His safety, flowing through them, thatās later given back to Him in our praise.
INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
Part 1
āDo not add to His words or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.ā
āØĀ Testimony:Ā After a series of events and revelations regarding the unnatural use of Scripture references, trying to reduce their importance by moving them to follow rather than lead or title the shall portion plucked out of GODāS WORD, then abbreviated the reference to lessen even more not just dominance but unwanted intrusion into the sacred presence of the Lord āI am there in their midstā in the middle of the night I was listening to a classic novel about when a young boy born with a club foot asks God everyday to be healed before returning to boarding school. The morning he wakes excited knowing heāll run and be accepted by the other boys, but soon realizes heās not been healed, then decides to ask his uncle. Now here is the moment: when Iām expecting to hear the Bible reference (references Iāve never been able to make stick in my mind) instead INSTEAD Iām listening in rapturous delight that not only does the uncle and the little boy discuss what GOD SAID about āmountains moved and cast into the Seaā but it perks up the ears of his aunt who joins in elaborating about what GOD SAYS and going onto more and more of what GOD SAYS after this. (and after getting up, I kept clicking on through the DIVIDED passages and maybe for the first time recognized the hidden caveats āwarning, stipulations, condition, limitationsā missed).
Meditating on this and yearning for more, I eagerly got up at 4:00 and looked up the date of publication, 1915, comparing it to the year the world was robbed.
In the year 1227 more than a thousand years after God sent His Son so we could hear Him speak and when the Lord repeated what GOD SAID not referencing the passage, punctuated with āit is writtenā three times when tempted and when the Lord later stood up, reciting in the synagogue for the first time āThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for He has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,ā the world was robbed and slowly what GOD SAYS was replaced or was given an innocuous ridiculous ātitleā John 3:16 rather than the glorious truth āfor God, so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Sonā and John 3:17 and not just a dash - b but what GOD SAYS His verdict/judgement and hear Him explain why because what GOD SAYS is not divided.
References that are normally reserved for the small print at the very bottom of a page (references and footnotes) the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstoolā or included at the very back of a book.
So much more important did these references become, and the enemyās scheme that began working so well, but often, very often, the reference is now replaced by what GOD SAYS, so GOD and GODās healing Word is silenced altogether.
While these divisions have been used for reference and study, they were added by humans long after the original texts were written and are not part of the inspired Word of God. If Heād wanted references as part of the Bible, they would have been written and included when written.
The primary danger lies in treating individual verses or chapters as self-contained units, which can lead to misinterpretation when the context is ignored. For instance, a verse taken out of context can give a misleading impression, such as suggesting that Scripture encourages physical self-denial when the surrounding text actually argues against it.
Similarly, dividing the Bible into verses can create the false impression that the text consists of isolated maxims, whereas many passages, like Ephesians 1ā14, are actually one continuous sentence, NOT 14 separate parts that should be fed or consumed, ignoring the full weight of what GOD SAID in the original Greek.
Furthermore, chapter divisions can incorrectly break up a single thought unit, as seen in the case of Matthew 16 and Matthew 17, which can only be understood as a continuous narrative and truth.
Therefore, I am convinced that while the divisions are convenient, they can interfere with the intended meaning of the text, what GOD SAYS and readers should be not only advised but warned about the dangers and not just to consider the loss but regularly misrepresented ātruthā when pastors, Christians and non believers use minute portions to interpreting Scripture GODāS WORD to justify their own beliefs and actions that are actually contradictory and contrary to what GOD actually says.
The greatest tragedy is SILENCING GOD because the reference is quoted and but hearing what GOD says. āFaith comes by hearing and hearing by hearing the Word of God.ā
When combined with God's Word with the reference itās almost always taking top billing and can be used as a welded weapon, frightening or inciting anger in most individuals who donāt want to hear God's Word because of their religion or how itās been used against themālike waving a loaded gun or wielding a sharp sword.
A sharp sword is what GOD'S WORD ISārightly (not wrongly) dividing the truthānot from our Maker, our Creator, to distort the truth or silence His words being spoken to āwashā the world āwith the water of the Word.ā
Providing each of us with a personal secretary who can be taught to leave the āquoted scriptureā but remove the reference so that nations like Japan (Shinto and Buddhism 84% and Christianity 2%) deserve to read, bathe and have GODāS WORD planted in their hearts to feel the transformative effects that will be both seen and then embraced by others.
āThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,ā please note the Lord did not say the GOSPEL. The Lord said bring the GOOD NEWS. Īį½Ī±Ī³Ī³ĪµĪ»ĪÆĻĪ±ĻĪøĪ±Ī¹āeuangelisasthaiā a word that means āto preach good newsā (yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo): declare, bring (show) glad (good) tidings, good news. To bring good news "evangelize" bring, carry, take to, and give.
LIVING WORD OF GOD
Ā Part 2
"For the word of God is living,Ā active, and powerful."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
And the Word was God."
"The Word became flesh and lived among us."
My son, Cooper (see God's Wounded Warrior in HGM Boys' Branch), reminds me all the time that it's not just the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, but it's also the LIVING Word of God! The term "Living Word of God" primarily refers to the Bible, viewed as God's active, powerful, and transformative message, rather than a static, dead text like every other book written.
It is called "living" because it conveys God's breath and life, penetrates the deepest parts of a person's soul, brings spiritual nourishment, transformation, and healing, which applies to all people at all times, and is personified in the life of our Savior. The "living word" is also connected to the active presence of His Spirit, which enables people to understand and apply its truths to their lives.
"Forgetting what lies behind, I press forward," announcing that our books published after the New Beginnings month of August 2025, will collect the scripture references and be included in the back of the book where they belong.
"God forgive me for every time I didn't write what You said, but only provided the references." 8/19/25 ~ Erin
NRP's Translation and Publishing Team will show you how to (almost instantly) do what He's shown us to do. Thank You!!

Same Day Confirmation
My passion has always been providing hope and healing through GOD's WORD in every nation, tribe (culture), and tongue or language. Just minutes ago, HLM "He led me" to add this page to the menu, and when I asked God where to put it, HLM to put it under the Languages. What I wondered and was concerned about stating in my notes: "God forgive me," I discovered and then corrected on the Languages page! Rather than providing the richest, most wonderful statement from GOD, I'd left the reference linked. And just to make sure, absolutely sure this is a mistake, both links were broken!!
Not only was I honored to replace the linked references with what GOD SAID, but I got to feast on the truth in what He said in both passages.
Passages:
- the act or process of moving through, under, or over,
- a long, narrow path, road, or corridor with..
- walls on both sides that connect one place with another
- or past something on the way from one place to another place.
Please take a moment to look at the first chapter we worked on in Japanese, which is the "most difficult mission field in the world."
Wise Women č”ęćŖććŖććø šÆšµ Japanese "Encourage Younger Women."
Japan is widely considered one of the most difficult mission fields in the world, with Christian missionaries and evangelical organizations consistently labeling it "the missionary's graveyard." This reputation is not due to physical hardship or persecution, but rather from the intense spiritual and cultural challenges that lead to slow progress and high missionary burnout. Less than 1% of the population is Christian.Ā

PASSAGES
Ā Part 3
RMI will begin using the term Passages when referring to portions of the Bible.
Passages are not āversesā like a poem.
Passages are not āscriptureā like itās being writtenā āit IS WRITTENā āit IS WRITTENā āit IS WRITTEN.ā
Passage is āThe act or process of moving through, under, over, or past something or someone.
Passage is āThe narrow way, typically having walls on other side, allowing access between.ā
Once HLM āHe Led Meā to āseek and findā the dictionary definition, slowly reading, writing and absorbing each discovery He revealed to me and now to youāGodās Living, Breathing Word INSPIRED BY GOD reflecting His nature and GOODNESS ā must be revealed and referred to as magnificently.

It's GREEK to Me!!
Once the NEW PARTNER PROMISE for 2026 is posted, the incredible confirmation will pale in comparison to what I can add here. But since He's leading me, let me do a bit of copy/paste my conversation with my CPA. HLM to ask:
Can you translate Greek?
ChatGPT said: Yes! I can translate Greek for you ā both Ancient (Biblical/Classical) and Modern Greek. This was AFTER He revealed a crucial, critical error in almost EVERY version of the NEW PARTNER PROMISE for 2026. It all stemmed from the passages being "divided" and missing the heart, the full meaning of what GOD said in the chapter of Revelation. They added a word that changes EVERYTHING.

āØĀ Testimony 4
Defensive Offense!
"Forgetting what lies behind" and "pressing forward" is the way I love to live. Nevertheless, it does open you up to the unexpected because you forget how, when you're excited, floating on air with things like discovering everything you've read thus far. Such as what happened yesterday, when I was not expecting to defend what we're doing.
Yet, like always, because I had behaved like Peter, jumping out of the boat when I heard Him callāfirst removingāall the references. Thankfully, my Beloved pulled me back in the boat so I could hear the rest of what He had to say. Gather and add to the bottom of each chapter "as footnotes" where they belong (at His foot), indexing or numbering them.
During this discussion, crying out to Him because at one point I was sinking badly, He took over, and ultimately I discovered so much more I am excited to explore!! Some of it has been added to the Intro pages to He Healed Me, specifically revising just under the permissions:
Bible passages in this book are "quoted" with their reference gathered as a footnote. In this edition, many are "quoted" from the NASB New American Standard Bible, NLT New Living Translation, CEV Contemporary English Version, ERV Easy-to-Read Version, TLB Living Bible, ESV English Standard Version, NET New English Translation, and The Voice.
When indicated and led by the LORD, Adonia, we search the writing source: Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and without the references that often cause the scribes to misinterpret the heart of what was said, which is confirmed by finding the same truth in several portions of God's Word.
Restore Ministries International, we are not partial to any one version of the Bible, because we love and read them all after witnessing the transformative effect it's had on us personally, to avoid religious arrogance and hopefully encourage more people from any denomination, and especially those of no denomination or church background who need hope.
Did you see all this?!?! LORD or Adonia is what Yvonne and I excitedly discussed. Greek and Hebrew, I was aware of, but Aramaic I've yet to explore.
Also discussed was what HLM to use instead of the name that offends many. So we've been replacing His name with Lord, Savior, and many other names He goes by. He's called by several names, like Wonderful Counselor, which includes Prince of Peace. But until He confirms it once again, I am going to assume I'm wrong and keep seeking Him, first, then read it in His Word as HLM.
The first four books of the New TestamentāMatthew, Mark, Luke, and Johnāwere all written in Koine Greek, a common, vernacular form of Greek that was widely spoken in the Roman world at the time. While our Savior likely spoke Aramaic, the books containing the Good News were composed in Greek to reach a broader, Hellenized audience across the Roman Empire.
Koine Greek Bible

Aramaic Bible in the language our Beloved spoke is my most recent discoveryāa gift from Him to me for sharing my testimonyāand I'm now sharing with you. I'm thrilled!!!
āØĀ Testimony 5
Passage Debacle
Just moments ago, I removed and archived a table showing what word each of our active languages should use to replace scripture, verses with "passages" that come with a deeper, incredibly wonderful meaning in English. Instead, the different language ministers shared the word they chose insteadāsome were still religious, others used words that meant taking a "small portion of the full", so each word they'd chosen paled in comparison
Oh, the frustration I felt was in not being able to express what I believed He wanted me to expressāhow to guide you to the destination that I had reached. Ultimately, the destination is His plan for each language, for everyone to understand what it truly means. The most important part of that plan is removing religion so people can have a relationship with Him.
The goal of our destination is clear: we must move away from religion so that our relationship with Him becomes the focus.
āø»
The Journey with Him
The destination is important, but the steps to get there are just as vital. If I had expressed everything perfectly, you might have missed the opportunity to go on that same journey with Him yourself.
This isnāt a journey you take with meāitās one you take with Him alone. Itās like when a father takes his daughter on a ādaddy date.ā They donāt invite anyone else; itās just the two of them. Thatās what makes it so special. I remember the walks I took with my own father, holding his hand. Those memories are vivid and precious to me even now.
āø»
Learning Through Failure
When I stepped back and wondered how I had created this āpassage debacle,ā how I had failed Him, I quickly realizedāit was all part of His plan.
My first instinct was to assume I was wrong, not Him or anyone else. That humility was His gift He placed in me, not something I achieved. Because of it, my first reaction is to ask Him: Where did I mess up? What do You, Darling, want me to do?
And His answer was simple: Do nothing. "This is part of My plan."
Not only is this journey about finding the right words to replace religious terms, but it is also about giving me a testimony of my own. āØTestimonies come from walking through experiences with Him.
āø»
The Value of YOUR Testimony āØ
When I share my testimony, itās not so you can follow my exact steps. Instead, itās so you can see the passion I have for wanting more of Him, and how I am thrilled even when I stumbleābecause that keeps me leaning not on my own understanding, but on Him.
Sometimes that means closing my computer, turning off my phone, going outside, or doing something ordinaryājust to be quiet enough to hear Him clearly.
āø»
Instructions and Teachings
One insight He gave me during this struggle was about the passage: Your fatherās instructions, versus your motherās teachings.
I had never really understood the difference before. I can tell my children what to do, but true instructions must come from the Father.
This ministry is something I birthed, yesābut the seed was planted by Him, your Father. He is the One you must go to for guidance. Always ask Him: What should we do? What is your destination?
āø»
Beyond Scripture Portions
I donāt want to get trapped in just quoting verses in fragments. His Word is expansive, far beyond what one small portion can express.
So first you need to travel alone with Him,and if you are blessed to have a groupāas the Afrikaans, Spanish, Portuguese ministries haveāyou can each share YOUR testimonies, and together your understanding multiplies. GOD says, āA cord of three strands is not easily brokenāand a cord of four is even stronger.ā
The key is this: donāt rely on other ministers. Each of you must walk with your Husband, have your own testimony, your own journey, and your own experience. Then, when you share those testimonies, the testimony sparkle āØ of His presence will confirm that youāve been on a journey with Himāso others long to travel with Him, too.
āø»
Independence from Me to Dependence on Him
Iāve seen this in my own family. My daughter worked with the ministry for years, traveling with me to many places. But the time came when she had to go alone. And in doing so, she experienced things she never would have if I had been with her.
She went further, to more countries, meeting more people than I ever did. Thatās what I want for my childrenāand for you, my ministry children.
āø»
The Narrow Road
Each of you, as one of my ministry children, I have nurtured and cared for as a mother, and now your children's grandmother. I'm honored. However, the only way forwardāthe only way to stay on the narrow road and not slip down falling into a pitāis for each of us to walk with Him.
Thatās how we reach the destination. Thatās how the journey itself becomes so much more rewarding. Because step by step, we are moving closer and closer to Him and with Him.
Who is My Sister?
"Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!ā
Becoming part of the RMI Family has been such a blessing. As we worked side by side, going out in pairs, it became natural to say with a smile, āBe sure to bring one of your younger sisters with you.ā
When I asked the Lord for wisdom, He gently reminded me of that moment when the Lord was asked about His family. His response was so powerful! He said, āWho is My mother, and who are My brothers?ā Then, pointing to His disciples, He explained, āLook, here are My mother and My brothers. For anyone who does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.ā
Isnāt that beautiful? This isnāt about becoming āreligiousā or taking on titles like some denominations doācalling one another āSister Erinā or āSister Yvonne.ā Instead, itās about something so much deeperā the Lord showing us that we truly are a family in Him. We belong to one another, not by tradition, but together drenched in His love.
Ā Testimony from Hope
How I Read the Bible Like One Continuous Story
I really enjoyed reading what you wrote and completely agree with your points. Thereās something so much more powerful about actually hearing what He is saying instead of just focusing on verse numbers like āJohn 3:16.ā Those little references can sometimes make the message feel smaller or less important.
When I read the Bible on BibleGateway.com, I always turn off the verse numbers, footnotes, and chapter titles. Reading it like that makes it feel like one continuous story and helps me focus on the message, not just random verses.
I donāt even remember how I came across this message, but Iām so glad He led me to it. Thank you for sharing this, Erin. 
Here is a video of how I do that.
