URGENT MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH - PART 1 LINK: http://hiaministry.org/?page_id=97 I feel very drawn to this ministry Spiritually. I do intend to visit this ministry in the near future.
I would like to encourage you to listen to some of Pastor RAY'S sermons.
JUDGMENT IS ON THE HOUSE OF GOD FIRST!!! THIS NATION is STANDING in OPPOSITION and DEFIANCE towards GOD. THANK YOU PASTOR RAY for speaking the TRUTH, and your willingness to be a servant to the BODY OF CHRIST. _________________________________________________
I am reminded of the message
of ISAIAH..
IS 65: 2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious
people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own
thoughts;
IS 65: 3 A people that provoketh me to anger
continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of
brick
IS 65: 6 Behold, it is written before me: I
will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
IS 65: 12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and
ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not
answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did
choose that wherein I delighted not.
There is still hope for those that are HIS TRUE and FAITHFUL SERVANTS.
IS 65: 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants
shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye
shall be ashamed:
IS 65: 14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of
heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of
spirit. WHILE I AM WAITING;
Topic : Dr. Berman is back for his second day with Rick and Chris to discuss why it is such a crucial time for the body of Christ to activate and boldly engage the lost of the world with the power of the Gospel – even as America is taken deeper into captivity and the war rages on against all who stand for righteousness.
PSALMS 2: 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye
perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him
PSALMS 103: 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all
that is within
me, bless his holy name.
PSALMS 103: 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and
forget not all his benefits:
PSALMS 104: 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my
God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty
PSALMS 29: 11 The LORD will give strength unto
his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
PSALMS 143: 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the
morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should
walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
PSALMS 143: 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my
God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
I must say. Taking this time
to FULLY and COMPLETELY FOCUS on the LORD:S GOODNESS and PROMISES, and WORSHIP the LORD has brought GREAT
JOY and PEACE TO MY SOUL and SPIRIT.
THANK YOU JESUS, for YOUR
MERCY, KINDNESS and PRESENCE. Thank YOU LORD for this time of REST and REJOICING. THANK YOU For this time of RENEWAL and FELLOWSHIP.
YOU are TRULY the LORD master and KING of REST, of the SABBATH,
and of the HOLY DAYS in which YOU allow us and invite us to participate in YOUR
PROMISES..
JOHN 7: 37 In the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If
any man thirst, let
him come unto me, and drink
JOHN 7: 38 He that believeth
on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water.
MATT 6: 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for
the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof
IT is a TIME of REJOICING before the LORD. TAKE TIME OUT TODAY to THANK HIM and PRAISE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE and WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO!!! HE ain't finished with us YET!!!!!
PUT aside/cast down all the evil of today and get on BOARD with the LORD'S WORK..... commemorate, testify of HIS GOODNESS and HIS PROMISE!!!
There is NOTHING more REVEALING to the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST..
Than a HEART OF GRATITUDE and JOY from those that HOLD TO THE TRUTH: LIVING IN the TRUE HOPE, and BELIEVE in HIS PROMISES to come, Especially during times of trouble and trails.
HOLD ME!!
I LOVE the WAY YOU HOLD ME... (simple song that just says so much, this new song has become my theme song lately... )
REV 7: 9 After this I beheld, and, lo,
a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and
people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands;
REV 7: 13 And one of the
elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white
robes? and whence came they
REV 7: 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And
he said to me, These
are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their
robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(The GREAT TRIBULATION, a
time of satan’s wrath, not to be confused with the WRATH OF GOD, GREAT DAY OF VENGEANCE)
REV 7: 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God,
and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne
shall dwell among them.
REV 7: 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
REV 7: 17 For the
Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes
MATT 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matt 11: 29 Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your
souls
MATT 11: 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light!!!
NUMBER
1
LAY
YOUR BURDENS of the WORLD ASIDE, and REJOICE, for OUR REDEEMER IS RETURNING!!!
For
the NEXT 7 days is a time to commemorate and Rejoice in what you believe in:
THE RETURN of JESUS CHRIST as LORD and KING.. IT is a proclamation that WE are a SET APART PEOPLE, and not servant to the WORLD, but servants to the MOST HIGH GOD... AMEN and AMEN!!!
LEV
23: 2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them,Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are “MY” feasts.
ROMANS
12: 1, 2 1I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable
service.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Leviticus
23:33-43 states: 33 Then the
Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the children of Israel,
saying: 'The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the
Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy
convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering
made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation,
and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no
customary work on it. 37 'These are the feasts of
the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an
offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a
sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day —
38 besides
the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and
besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord. 39 'Also on
the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of
the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there
shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And you
shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees,
branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoicebefore the Lord your
God for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord
for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations.
You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell inboothsfor seven days. All who are native
Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made
the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of
Egypt: I am the Lord your God.'" (NKJV throughout, unless otherwise noted)
For the BODY
of CHRIST, the FEAST of TABERNACLES is a time of CELEBRATION of a PROPHETIC
EVENT to COME. IF we BELIEVE
It is in fact to come, then WHY don’t we CELEBRATE it as though it is So? It is
celebrated with REJOICING:
What could be more
appropriate than spending our time in WORSHIP and PRAISE on this FIRST DAY OF
the FEAST OF TABERNACLES:
A
little information about the FEAST of TABERNACLES:
It
should be considered a “HOLIDAY” with these
thoughts and meditations in mind.
The FEAST of TABERNACLES REPRENTS:
·IT is a time of
RENEWED FELLOWSHIP with the LORD, ie from a WORSHIPFUL HEART of being in HIS PRESENCE
with gratitude and thanksgiving for all HE has done and ALL HE is going to do.
·It symbolizes a
time of dependence upon GOD’S care and sustenance.
A SIDE NOT: Most Christian’s
that observe this time, seek to get away in a hotel or camp ground as an
ASEMBLE of PEOPLE for seven days. I mourn and yearn for the day that WE are
able to take the full 7 days away from home.)
·In ancient Israel
the FEAST of TABERNACLES became so popular that it became known as the “FEAST”
or ‘THE SEASON OF JOY”.
Sometimes know as the FEAST of the ingathering,
because it was the time of the HARVEST gathering.
DURING the MILLENNIAL RULE and
REIGN of JESUS CHRIST, all will be expected to attend the FEAST OF TABERNACLES: REV 20: 3 I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands…THEY lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4).
ZEC 14: 16 And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go
up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of
hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
_________________________________________________
It is important to
note that The FEAST of TABERNACLES can be kept from a dwelling place that is
not in JERUSALEM
even today.
NEH 8: 15, And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem
Deut 14: 23-24 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there,
the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy
herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to
fear the LORD thy God always
DEUT 14: 24 And if the way be
too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the
place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name
there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
DEUT 14: 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money,
and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto
the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
SO where can the FEAST OF
TABERNACLES BE KEPT?
LEV 23: 1,4, 37 It is kept in
a PLACE OF GOD’S CHOOSING: Here is an HONEST study that some of you might be interested in; Did the Apostles abandon the SABBATH; LINK: http://biblelight.net/firstday.htm
Tonight begins a day of
REJOICING and CELEBRATION for ALL that the LORD has done for us and what HE is
going to do for us in the FUTURE..
It is also believed that
JESUS CHRIST was born on the FEAST OF TABERNALES!!!
I will be out of contact through email, after today until the FEAST of TABERNACLES is over.
Honestly, we are new to the
Observance of the FEAST of the LORD.
For the past 2 years, we have
managed to get away for only a few days during the FEAST of TABERNACLES and
each year we seek to increase those days as we are able.
HOWEVER, I do feel in my heart that it is BENEFICIAL
for the BODY of CHRIST to meditate upon these FEAST, and even observe themas much as we can understand them. And I yearn for the day that we are able to observe these "FEAST OF THE LORD" to their FULLEST INTENT.
I can think of a few good
reasons:
1.They are the
FEAST OF THE LORD.
2.They are
prophetic
3.JESUS CHRIST fulfilled
the spring feast, so I expect HE will also fulfill the last 3
Paul reminded us to KEEP THE
FEAST!!!
1 Cor5:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth
A few scriptures have been tugging at my heart lately
as I have been contemplating the FEAST of the LORD!!
MATT 6: 10
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
earth, as it is in heaven.
I think most of us think
about this Scripture on an individual basis, according to our circumstances.
IE: We want to be in the LORD’S
WILL in whatever we are doing.
I have been thinking about it
from the prospective of END-TIMES.
The FATHER’S “WILL” will BE
DONE.
HIS WORD IS SURE and TRUE
The Bible refers to a time of the End as:
the
End of Days
the
Time of the END
the
last days
The
end of these things
The
end of the age
At some point, perhaps in our
LIFE TIME, things as we know it will PASS AWAY.
JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN and
conquer the EARTH and RULE and REIGN as LORD and KING.
IS 17: 7 AT that day shall a man look to
HIS MAKER, and his eyes shall have respect to the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
Notice that their EYES will have respect to the HOLY
ONE OF ISRAEL.
LUKE 22: 26
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27. And then shall they see the SON OF MAN
coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Many will hide in fear on that day, but they WILL have
respect and reverence towards the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
REALITY, FEAR, HEARTS FAILING, SHOCK and AWE…
JESUS CHRIST is REAL, ALIVE and WELL and HE is going
to return with vengeance and wrath.
It will be a glorious day for the SAINTS, but hell on
earth for the wicked.
A FEW QUESTIONS for you to ponder this
morning:
What if the LORD returned on one of HIS FEAST DAYS?
Would you be prepared for that?
Are you even aware of WHEN they are?
Are you even aware of the PROPHETIC picture, foreshadow
that they tell?
THEY are the LORD’S FEAST!!!
MEANING they HAVE HIS NAME WRITTEN ON THEM!!
They do not belong to the JEWS.
THEY are a sign, and wonder of HIM, and for HIS BODY.
That means they were designed and created as a
FORESHADOW OF HIM, and what HE IS DOING.
CREATED SPECIFICALLY for HIS FULFILLMENT. Why don't we consider doing things GOD'S WAY for a change??
Conclusion:
If you desire to watch as END-TIMES unfolds, then I truly
encourage you to consider LEARNING more of HIM, through
studying or even participating in the FEAST of the
LORD.
True REVERANCE begins with HUMILITY before the LORD.
We speak with our mouths full.
We talk a good talk, but TRUE BLESSING comes out of
OBEDIENCE.
When it comes down to it..
We are a stiff necked, proud people.
WE DO NOT desire to follow the SIMPLIEST steps of
OBEDIENCE..
WHY is it so HARD for us to come out of our
traditional thinking and away from the DOCTRINES OF MEN?
Why is it so hard to WORSHIP on the SABBATH rather
than on Sunday?
Why is it so hard for us to see the REJOICING and
CELEBRATION of “The FEAST of TABERNACLES” in
much the same way that we once celebrated CHRISTMAS?
These are the basic
steps of obedience.
If
we truly desire UNITY/perfection as a Body, it will have to begin with HUMILITY
before the LORD
Isa 66:22 (KJV) For as the
new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith
the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith the LORD.
I will continue the testimonies of the LORD'S POWER in the very near future, I felt it was more important to remind us that the we are also in the middle of the "FEAST of the LORDS". The FEAST of TABERNACLES;
SEPT 18th - begins
the even of SEPT, 18th, and last for 7 days.
PREPARE TO REJOICE for the
LORD JESUS WILL RULE AND REIGN!!!!
DEUT 16: 13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days,
after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
Deut 16: 14 And thou shalt
rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the
fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
Deut 16: 15 Seven days shalt thou
keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in
the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless
thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou
shalt surely rejoice.
.
The FEAST of TABERNACLE has an awaiting fulfillment.
When JESUS CHRIST sets up His
everlasting kingdom as LORD and KING.
“The day of ingathering” in
the day of the Messiah’s return, rule and reign.
It is a foreshadow
of the Messiah’s sheltering presences.
ALSO, it is believed that
JESUS CHRIST was actually born on the FEAST of TABERNACLES.
Therefore
it is a great time of REJOICING, praise, honor the LORD JESUS for what is YET
to come!!!
Psalms 118: 1 O give thanks
unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for
ever.
PSALMS 118: 26 Blessed be he
that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of
the LORD.
PSLAMS 118: 28 Thou art my
God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
PSALAMS
118: 29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for
ever.
THE POWER of our TRANSFORMED LIVES is from the HOLY SPIRIT and is according to “WORDS SPOKEN” and “WORDS WRITTEN” by JESUS CHRIST:
1 PETER 3: 22
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and
authorities and powers being made subject unto him
I am going to share a FEW of the “WORDS
SPOKEN” and WORDS WRITTEN” that the LORD
has put into my life that have been EMPOWERED by the HOLY SPIRIT. TERMINOLOGY: A WORD SPOKE, is when WE HEAR from the SHEPARD, we know HIS VOICE. A WORD WRITTEN, is when a VERSE or SCRIPTURE has been brought to LIFE in our life. BOTH of these are SEEDS PLANTED and BROUGHT TO LIFE/ resurrected in our LIVES, by the HOLY SPIRIT.
I am going to share with you some of the WORDS SPOKEN to me by the LORD over the years, because I believe that THESE WORDS SPOKEN to me from HIM, have been a VERY ESSENTIAL PART of my HEALING and DELIVERANCE that I have experienced over the years, and a fundamental part of the of the BLESSINGS in my marriage and the
raising of my children.
I CAN TESTIFY and WILL TESTIFY. THAT HE IS ALIVE AND WELL!!! By now you have read these words in my post if you have been reading many of my post: "WHAT IS OF GOD, is empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT: TODAY I am going to begin a post TESTIFYING to the experiences I have personally concerning HEALING and DELIVERANCE.
HE "ALONE" has proven HIMSELF over an over again in my life that HIS
WORD is TRUE, that HE IS A HEALER an a DELIVER.
AND I CAN without any DOUBT can TESTIFY that many of our BLESSINGS, in our family and life have come from the OBEDIENCE to HIS WORD!!
NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT SEEMS at the TIME, you can COUNT ON HIS WORD TO BE TRUE!!!
The best way I know to give a TRUE TESTIMONY to the POWER of HIS WORDS ……. is through a TESTIMONY of my own life:
NOTE: I am not sure how many post this is going to take, so please be patient.
For CLARITY in my sharing:
WORDS that JESUS CHRIST ‘SPOKE” into my heart will bein BLUE.
ie: My sheep will hear my voice:
WORDS that have been WRITTEN and brought to LIFE areinPURPLE:
FIRST TESTIMONY: "THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST"
I DO HAVE A HEART OF GRATITUDE towards the LORD, Without HIM in my life, I am certain that I would NOT be
alive today, or at the very least ‘sickly, living on drugs, or perhaps even a
prostitute.
For CLARITY in my sharing: JUST a REMINDER:
WORDS that JESUS CHRIST ‘SPOKE” into my heart will be in BLUE.
WORDS that have been WRITTEN and brought to LIFE are In PURPLE.
When I look at my life as a WHOLE or the BIG PICTURE of my
life, I can say that The LORD has BLESSED,
healed and delivered my life tremendously. I have come a long ways from that
TORMENTED, ABUSED, UNSTABLE PERSON, when HE first revealed HIMSELF to me at the
age of 17.
My LIFE has been cleaned up and restored in many areas. A
great deal of that has come through a LOT of TRAVAIL and REPENTANCE.
JUST TWO VERY IMPORTANT REMINDERS before we start, I believe you can find
these quotes in many of my post..
1. THE POWER for the TRANSFORMATION and SANCTIFICATION IS IN THE "ANSWERS" we receive from the LORD, not in the questions or prayers we make known to GOD.
IE: meaning we make
our request known to God, and the ANSWER to those request come with POWER. IE It isn’t the PRAYER that is empowered, but
the ANSWER..
2. THE HOLY SPIRIT empowers what is OF GOD, not what is of
man.
JESUS CHRIST HEALS
and DELIVERS us so that we can be COMPLETE
IN HIM not so we can be better than anyone else.
COMPLETE IN HIM, is where we have NO NEED for
earthly resources to bring us to contentment. in the world
LET’S BEGIN TODAY
with ONE of the MOST POWERFUL SENTENCES the LORD has ever given me to SPEAK for my HEALING and DELIVERANCE:
1 PETER 3: 22 JESUS CHRIST/ Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
2 Cor 4: 10Always bearing about in the body the dying
of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our body.
TITLE: THE DEMONIC INFLUENCE
IN MY LIFE, that sought to STRIP, rob, steal and destroy the BLESSING of the NEW LIFE out of me:
And the POWERFUL WORDS GIVEN
to ME BY THE LORD, that made me an OVERCOMER of my circumstances:
I rarely have to CALL UPON the LORD on these issues anymore, but EVEN TODAY, when I begin to feel
the presence of a demonic influence in my life.
MY RESPONSE to them is;
THIS IS THE SENTENCE the LORD GAVE ME:
I QUOTE
“I DON’T LIVE THERE ANYMORE, LEAVE IN THE
NAME OF JESUS CHRIST”
The LORD gave me those WORDS, many years ago. ANDBY HIS PERMISSION,
I am allowedto
use this “COMMAND OF
HIS”, to subdue and even resist the
ENEMY in my life.
IT isHIS by HIS AUTHORITYthat theyMUST OBEY, and LEAVE.
AND I can tell you that even NOW as I write those words I
can feel the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT IN THEM.
A SIDE NOTE TO
UNDERSTANDING:
I hope I haven’t lost you already??
Some do not believe there
is even demonic influences in our lives, but I am here to give witness that it
is TRUE, that are present and they seek to LIE,
STEAL and DESTROY.
***The DEMONIC like to whisper things of your OLD LIFE into your ears, so that they
can INFLUENCE your thinking, and manipulate your actions.
An example that might help:
In the past, just out of NO WHERE, I would hear these
words LITERALLYYELLED
in my head.
Quote: “YOU are STUPID”, “WORTHLESS” etc.
They were not gentle, soft spoken words but words of a threatening
nature, and condemnation:
These are what I call
“whispers of
the enemy” seeking to takeVICTORY from your NEW
LIFE, as an overcomer.
The true TEST is whether or not you are going to “RECEIVE” these accusation or not?
Though it may seem that it is coming from your own thinking,
they are NOT.
ASK yourself: WHO DOES THINGS LIKE THAT TO THEMSELVES??
WHO desires to CONDEMN themselves?
WHO desires to “THREATEN themselves?
As a REBORN child of the LORD, our mind is CLEANSED, our
conscience should be clear. (assuming
you have repented, and sought to restore your relationship issues with others, and living in the covenant relationship with JESUS CHRIST.)
ROMANS 6: 6 Knowing this, that our old
man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
WE should NOT be living our lives out of our OLD LIFE for it is crucified with Christ, but to be WALKING IN the NEW LIFE, where all things become BRAND NEW.
AND CERTAINLY this is not the HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING, for HE
is not seeking to hold us into captivity or bondage of the OLD LIFE.
.
FOR THOSE that NEED EVEN
MORE CLARITY of MEANING:
“I DON’T LIVE THERE
ANYMORE”, meaning I don’t live my life out of my past, but as a
CHILD of the KING. NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST, has come to me from the DAY I was
REBORN in HIS SPIRIT. THEREFORE, I will
not LIVE my present life from conditions and experiences of my OLD LIFE, IE: teachings, experiences, or influences.
CONCLUSION:
I often tell those that write me that are struggling for deliverance and healing.
TO PRAY for a WORD from the LORD, for it is AT HIS WORD, that the enemy must obey.
It is HIS WORD and SPIRIT that brings LIFE to the dead, mortifies the flesh..
Though the LORD gave me THESE WORDS to resist and make the demons leave for that particular HEALING and DELIVERANCE.
I have found over the years, It was only according to HIS PERMISSION WILL that I could SPEAK it with HIS POWER and AUTHORITY in it.
I was able to OVERCOME, because HE WAS IN IT.
HE only "ALLOWED" me to use these WORDS under the conditions in which they were given.
Meaning: I don't get to USE or ABUSE HIS AUTHORITY or POWER at my WILL, but only according to HIS WILL.
EXAMPLE, just because my FOOT hurts, I don't get to speak to my FOOT and tell it to be HEALED.
TO BE CONTINUED:
A PREVIEW Of some of WORDS the LORD has SPOKEN to me that have had PROFOUND healing and deliverance in life:
"ACCEPT YOUR SUFFERING and YOU SHALL BE HEALED"
" RESPECT and HONOR your husband, not according to whether he is right or wrong, but according to his POSITION in the marriage"
EP 5: 33... and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
A WORD from the LORD is a seed planted and given LIFE/bearing fruit for change by the SPIRIT!!! Mortifying the FLESH to a Spiritual increase.
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR AN OUCH MOMENT!!
TODAY is the “DAY OF
REPENTANCE” SEPT 11, 2013
2 PETER 1: 3 According as his divine power hath given unto
us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
PROVERBS 8: 17 I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early shall find me.
PROVERBS 8: 21 That I may cause those that love me to
inherit substance; and Iwill fill their treasures.
Though I feel more like being
still and quiet, I felt pressed in my spirit to share this WORD from the LORD
to all that will listen.
I am going to do my best to share
it, hoping it will add value and substance to your relationship in JESUS CHRIST. MAY THIS SEED bring NEW LIFE to your relationship....
During my prayer time yesterday
these words came into my heart and mind.
“The HONEYMOON IS
OVER”
I knew immediately it was about our SHORT-COMINGS in the LORD:
I
thought to myself, “WHAT MEANEST THOU OH LORD?"
Allow
me to share from my personal life for just a moment:
I
have been spending a great deal of time REDISCOVERING JESUS CHRIST, and reevaluating
my walk and life.
1.My relationship
with HIM.
2.My personal walk
3.Seeking HIM to
reveal HIMSELF more fully to me from GLORY TO GLORY. etc.
I
have also wondered why there is such a division in the BODY of CHRIST.
OK with that I would like to offer you a couple of QUESTIONS to ask yourself during this study.…
WHAT IS THE DEPTH of YOUR RELATIONSHIP with CHRIST?
IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP ALIVE and WELL?
ARE you receiving LIFE BEARING SEED, that is growing within you, conforming you to the IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST?
ARE you an OVERCOMER?
AND last but not least:
IS
YOUR LIFE A CONTRADICTION to what the WORD says it should be??
Few desire to learn the TRUTH,
YET, the TRUTH is what
sets us FREE
Few desire to REPENT or to conform, YET, in Obedience we are BLESSED
Few desire to be HUMBLED, yet to humble oneself and seek HIS face, is what HEALS and DELIVERS our LAND.
Over my life, when the LORD ‘speaks’
or I hear HIS VOICE, it generally is in either a short WORD or short SENTENCES. PERHAPS it is because my memory isn’t so good, or I am just not as SMART as
most.
But USUALLY, these WORDS or
SENTENCES come with “FIRE” and they touch my very SOUL. BRINGING about a SUDDEN and MIRACULOUS change
in my life. MORTIFYING my flesh to the MIND of JESUS CHRIST.
That
is what these WORDS did for me yesterday.
“The HONEYMOON IS OVER”
These
words were directly related to our SALVATION and our WALK with HIM.
FIRST
I must share a little TESTIMONY:
YOU
MAY SKIP this testimony, however for better clarity I felt it needed to be
added.
Do you remember the DAY YOU MET the LORD, HIS GLORIOUS APPEARANCE
IN YOUR LIFE?? WHEN REVEALED HIMSELF as SAVIOR??
I
do, very CLEARLY even 30 some odd years later, I remember that first encounter with JESUS CHRIST.
I
saw HIM on the CROSS, HE looked down at me personally with the MOST LOVING eyes
I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Perhaps
it is what I NEEDED the most, because of so much TORMENT and TORTURE that had
gone on in my personal life.
I
was a WRETCHED human being. SIN pretty much had consumed me by the time I was
17. I was angry, bitter, and I used my
resource of charm and beauty to manipulate. I was truly searching for LOVE and
at that time I didn’t believe it existed on this planet.
I
remember GIVING my LIFE to HIM FULLY, when HE OFFERED ME “LOVE” and “FORGIVENESS”
I literally “RAN” to the ALTAR.
Believing I had to go to ALTAR of BLOOD to receive my forgiveness.
BUT THAT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING of my NEW LIFE and JOURNEY with
HIM.
Basically
after that, I was on a “HONEYMOON” with my
SAVIOR, LORD, HEAD, BRIDEGROOM. GETTING to KNOW HIM BETTER was where I planted my feet.
WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING IT WAS to MEET HIM and to be FORGIVEN BY HIM!!!! The whole world was at my feet now.
I WAS SET FREE, FORGIVEN, and CLEANSED:
IT was a WONDERFUL POSITION to be in. AND those of you that HAVE
had the REBORN experience know exactly what I am talking
about…. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE being SET FREE, and FORGIVEN for your SINS of the
PAST.
MY WHOLE LIFE changed from
that point on.
I DESIRED to walk in COVENANT with my LORD. HE had “ALL” the “RIGHT” answers to all my
problems. And HIS PRESENCES was SWEETER than HONEYCOMB. LIKE Hot chocolate on a cold winter day!!!
There
is NO DOUBT that I wanted to REMAIN in that LOVING PRESENCES forever and
forever!!!!
The
HONEYMOON STAGE IS TRULY AWESOME!!!
That first experience with HIM, is what MAKES HIM SO INTIMATE to HIS BODY, HE is HOLY,
yet HE understands our weakness’ etc…
I
would have DONE most anything to MAINTAIN that SWEET PRESENCES and FELLOWSHIP.
HIS
presence was SWEET, CARING, TENDER, LONGSUFFERING, and very patient.
THAT IS THE HONEYMOON STAGE in our RELATIONSHIP.
Things didn't always stay that way. I sometimes felt HIS PRESENCE leave me, and I would become somewhat frantic.
Obviously,
I didn’t like that very much. So I often searched for SIN in my life that may
have caused this BREAK in our relationship.
The TRUTH is THE HONEYMOON
PERIOD IS SO SWEET, no one ever wants to leave it:
HOWEVER, we must
remember for what PURPOSE HE CAME,
The
INTENTION and overall PURPOSE of the FATHER'S WILL and the LORD JESUS’S, IS FOR US TO GROW and CONFORM to
HIS IMAGE that we can PARTICIPATE in a KINGDOM and IN THE KINGDOM PROMISES.
TESTED AND TRIED:
As
we GROW in the LORD, we find that occasionally we are TESTED and TRIED for the
things we have LEARNED, and for the CONFORMITY to HIS IMAGE. THUS we begin to live and work in HARMONY with the FATHER, SPIRIT and the WORD..
At
those moments, we often FEEL as though we are LEFT ALONE, but WE KNOW and can have confidence, according
to HIS WORD, That "HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US".
Examples
of testing and trying:
Will
you be FAITHFUL to what HE has shared, the KNOWLEDGE, the CALLINGS HE has
given?
Will
you LOVE HIM, more than LOVE the WORLD?
Etc
etc:
FINALLY to the POINT:
“The
HONEYMOON IS OVER”,
Many
do not want to leave the HONEYMOON stage of their RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST.
YET, if they were willing to admit it, they have had very little FELLOWSHIP or INTIMACY with HIM since that first experience.
They
often talk about their “FIRST EXPERIENCE or ENCOUNTER with the LORD” but then
that have nothing else to share.
THERE
has been NO REAL CHANGE or TRANSFORMATION in their LIVES since they first met HIM AT
THE CROSS. THEY have not experienced the RESURRECTED LIFE, only the cross ..which by the way comes only through the HOLY SPIRIT.
I
can TOTALLY understand wanting to remain in the STAGE,. AGAIN it is
SWEETER than HONEYCOMB. IT is "satisfying" to our FLESH, GLORY to the LORD, repentance and forgiveness relieve the burdens the heart and world. A truly experience of GRACE and MERCY... WHO doesn't want to be FORGIVEN and have their LIFE start over again. Remember the 10 lepers???
HOWEVER, unless you are fortunate enough to DIE AT THE DAY Of
SALVATION,
You
are going to find that the LORD is going to SEEKING to have us GROW in the
KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, and to CONFORM to the PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES of the FATHER.
And
YOU will be TESTED and TRIED, for what you have LEARNED and EXPERIENCED for
your CONFORMITY, TRANSFORMATION, SANCTIFICATION etc.
ROMANS 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service.
IT is our REASONABLE SERVICE,
BECAUSE we OWN HIM EVERYTHING, HE BOUGHT and PAID for OUR
SOUL!!
HEALING and DELIVERANCE:
MANY wonder why they are SICK, why they are in AFFLICTION.
JAMES 5: 16 Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man availeth much
IT is because you REFUSE to move FOREWORD in your RELATIONSHIP with
HIM towards CONFORMITY…
LET’S USE MARRIAGE as an EXAMPLE:
When you marry, you don’t get to
LIVE out your life in anyway you please, if you do you want be married very
long.
We are conformed and transformed
even in marriage!!!
YOU desire to grow in ONENESS:
You become a COMPLIMENT to the
RELATIONSHIP, in sharing responsibilities, you GROWN in BONDING, in pleasing
one another. Learning one another's likes and dislikes.
As a WIFE, and that is what the
CHURCH is, you become a HELP MATE, HONORING your spouse, giving them due
RESPECT of their POSITION.
AS a WIFE, you know the HONEYMOON
is over, and the TASK of GROWING in this RELATIONSHIP is going to be a LONG
JOURNEY of ups and downs/ repentance/conformity etc.
You GROW from your EXPERIENCES in marriage, just like our RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST grows. CONFORMING your ways to HIS
WAYS.
CONCLUSION:
IT IS
TIME TO GET BACK to YOUR FIRST LOVE:
HE
has given us ALL things needed that
pertain to LIFE and a GODLY LIFE:
.
WE
need to PUT away CHILDISH things, childish behavior, and childish thoughts.
AND
STOP taking HIM FOR GRANTED, seeking to FORCE the RELATIONSHIP back into the
HONEYMOON STAGE is not LIFE BEARING, it is making HIM INTO OUR IMAGE rather
than SEEKING to conform to HIS IMAGE.
STOP
using the HONEYMOON experience as an EXCUSE to REMAIN SIMPLE MINDED, and to
continue in sin.
WE
have become a COMPLACENT and a stiff
necked People, because we DESIRE to remain in the HONEYMOON PERIOD, (a place "WE" cherish) and we seek to try to SETTLE in and plant our feet in that position as though it PLEASES HIM. IE Taking HIS GOOD GRACE and MERCY FOR
GRANTED.
THERE ARE MANY BLESSINGS and
PROMISES AWAITING THOSE THAT WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES and be OBEDIENT SERVANTS to
the LORD.
PROVERBS 2: 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and
the perfect shall remain in it.
AGAIN you wonder why we are sick or afflicted?
Because
we quench the SPIRIT, REFUSE to GROW, REPENT, and CONFORM…
Our
SICKNESS and AFFLICTIONS are often caused by SIN, character, lifestyles that has not been PURGED with FIRE from our LIFE.
INSTEAD
of GROWING in our RELATIONSHIP, we fight “AGAINST the PRICKS” HIS redeeming WORK, and
against HIS SPIRIT, towards our GROWTH and CONFORMITY. And we often use the SIMPLICITY of our HONEYMOON experience to give us the excuse..
TRUTHFULLY,
to continue to SEEK to walk in the HONEYMOON period of our relationship with
JESUS CHRIST:
1.IS NO RELATIONSHIP at ALL, at best it
is a LUKE WARM relationship.
2.IT adds no real VALUE or depth to your SPIRITUALLY or PHYSICALLY life
CONFORMING and CHANGE is
where the BLESSINGS of the PHYSICAL LIFE, and SPIRITUALLY life true is.
TODAY IS THE DAY OF REPENTANCE: "CHANGE. RISE UP CHURCH and REPENT and LIVE." SEEK HIS FACE, REPENT and BE HEALED!!!!
HE LOVES THOSE THAT LOVE
HIM!!!!! And HE BLESS” those that are OBEDIENT to the CHANGE and CONFORMITY!!!
IT IS PAST TIME TO MOVE FORWARD in our RELATIONSHIP with HIM, on a
JOURNEY with HIM of CONFORMITY and TRANSFORMITY into HIS IMAGE.
AND as LONG as that SUN is shining it is NEVER TO LATE
to begin your WALK with HIM. HE IS OUR BREAD in which we feed our hunger and thirst!!! THE BREAD/CHRIST, HEALING and DELIVERANCE BELONGS TO THE CHILDREN.. The TEMPORARY bread of everyday vanities and substance will not SUSTAIN us, nor will it give us TRUE ABUNDANT LIFE..
MAN SHALL NOT live by bread alone/ substances and vanities of the earthly life,, but byEVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the MOUTH OF GOD
