A piece of HISTORY from DANIEL and JEREMIAH: wecrymercy

70 years -  Meant 70 years.

Dan 9: 2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.   

Jeremiah 25: 12

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

The MEDES and PERSIANS were right on time.

 According to the LORD’S TIME TABLE.

Daniel 9: 1 IN THE FIRST year of Darius the son of AHASUERUS, of the seed of the MEDES which was made king over the realm of the Chaldean's.

 

So we must ask ourselves:

When Daniel prophesied SEVENTY WEEKS was he assuredly speaking of 70 WEEKS, with 3 ½ years remaining, that the little horn will rule?

 “TILL THE TIME OF THE END”?

Daniel 12: 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Daniel 12: 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Daniel 12: 11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Did Daniel understand the prophecy of 70 WEEKS, as TRULY being the “END”?

Or was HE only prophesying till JERUSALEM was captured by the ROMANS and the TEMPLE and LAND was made and abomination and desolate?

Daniel 12: 7

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.   

Daniel 12: 13 But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

I suppose we have to determine from our SPIRIT and ABIDING in CHRIST, but as for me I will HEARKEN to the VOICE of the man clothed in linen that said:

*Till the time of the END

*All these things shall be FINISHED

*AT the END OF DAYS.

Amen

BECOMING an Overcomer: The stumbling block or strong hold in our lives: Wecrymercy

Overcoming the stumbling block or strong hold in our lives.

2 Cor 6: 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,

2 Cor 6: 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty

2 Cor 7: 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Well now, this is going to be interesting. I must admit here, I did not decide to do this by my own desire, But felt certain that is by the LORD'S leading that I am suppose to be a SERVANT in this area to the BODY. I sure don’t know where we are going with this one.

I know I refer to PHYSICAL BABYLON a great deal. I want to assure you that I understand, BABYLON is both SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL (a physical manifestation of a SPIRITUAL condition)

But what kind of SERVANT would I truly be to the LORD and HIS BODY, if I only concerned myself and others with the PHYSICAL portion of BABYLON.

WE MUST PREPARE to COME OUT OF HER, both SPIRITUALLY and PHYSICALLY.

The LORD has lead me to share with many of you as HE is SHARING with ME,  how to overcome stumbling blocks and strongholds in our lives.  I will not speak of PARTICULAR SB or SH, because there are so many. What may cause ONE MAN or ONE WOMAN to STUMBLE, or be HELD CAPTIVE, another can WALK in FAITH to do.

For one it may be LUST, of any kind.
For another it may be a STRONGHOLD of COMFORT .etc.

It will be by DESIGN that I not NAME particular STUMBLING BLOCKS Or STRONGHOLDS. For it by HIS MERCY and HIS LEADING that the LORD will REVEAL the stumbling blocks and strongholds as HE SEES THEM.

I will be taking this ONE DAY at a time, allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to LEAD.

I do not know the END from the BEGINNING, But I KNOW THE ONE THAT DOES KNOW the END FROM THE BEGINNING,  and this is the FIRST STEP of the OVERCOMING that the LORD has lead me to SHARE.

MAY the LORD bring an INCREASE to HIS WORD, that HIS PEOPLE will be able to STAND STRONG and be HEALED, in spirit, and body as the day approaches.

MY PRAYER: and perhaps you would like to join me in this prayer as well.

LORD GIVE me a surrendered HEART to YOUR WILL and YOUR DESIRE, that YOU will guide and direct my mind, body and soul as YOUR SERVANT/HANDMAIDEN at whatever cost to myself this may be. SET ME FREE LORD of whatever stronghold or stumbling block Babylon has on me spiritually and physically.  For those that are SET FREE INDEED by YOU. Please give me the GRACE and MERCY and by YOUR POWER and STRENGTH to be an OVER-COMER, That I may SURRENDER anything that is NOT of YOU,  by your WILL and YOUR DESIRE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

 _________________________________________________________________________________

HOW TO OVERCOME our STRONGHOLDS and STUMBLING BLOCKS in our lives.

Today, I will only be sharing the ONE TRUTH the the LORD has given me.

The LORD told me that HIS WILL must be REVEALED. For it is by  HIS WILL, HIS DESIRE, and HIS POWER that we OVERCOME whatever SH, or SB IN OUR LIVES.

THE LORD’S WILL

WE are not our own. IT will be ONLY by the LORD’S WILL that we overcome any SH or SB in our lives.

1 Cor 6: 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

We are the TEMPLE of GOD, where the HOLY SPIRIT dwells. Surrendering to the WILL and RESTORATION of the LORD comes through the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT has the POWER to MORTIFY our FLESH. 

WHAT is OF The LORD is EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

JAMES 4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Many times we seek the RESISTING the DEVIL through our OWN FLESH, when in truth it is in the SUBMITTING to GOD that THAT the HOLY SPIRIT, gives us the POWER to OVERCOME the FLESH that the DEVIL can not have his way with us.

JAMES 4: 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

HUMBLING ourselves before the LORD, is WHEN HE lifts us up to overcome. HIS POWER, HIS HOLY SPIRIT, For the HOLY SPIRIT will EMPOWER what is the WILL and DESIRE OF GOD. What is OF GOD, is empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT.

TAKING that FIRST STEP:

IF one is NOT CONVINCED, or WALKING IN ASSURANCE that THEY are being convicted of their SB or SH, then we are “DOUBLE MINDED”, a DOUBLE MINDED PERSON will RECEIVE NOTHING from the LORD, NO power to overcome the SH OR SB in our LIFE:

A DOUBLE MINDED person will lay it down and pick it back up over and over again. Our FLESH has NO POWER over SPIRITUAL things.

To NOT be able to WALK in the CONFIDENCE that WE have HEARD the VOICE of the SHEPARD, and the CONVICTION that this is the LORD’S WILL, will cause us to STUMBLE over and OVER again.

To SEEK to overcome this THROUGH our flesh is SELF DEFEATING.

* Causing us to be UNSTABLE in our WAYS stumbling and self condemnation. That is the enemies will, not the LORD’S.

JAMES 1: 6  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

JAMES 1: 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

JAMES 1: 8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.

INSTRUCTIONS for today:

WE must KNOW the LORD”S WILL for our LIFE:: WILL YOU COMMIT with me TODAY to get BEFORE HIM that HE will REVEAL?

IS it the LORD’S WILL that this SB or SH in my life be OVERCOME?

THE ONLY WAY to have COMPLETE ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of the CONVICTION and TO be able to WALK in the POWER OF OBEDIENCE is to get before the LORD that the CONVICTION will come.

What we have BEGUN IN FAITH, LET us continue in FAITH.

We must find ourselves before A HOLY GOD, individually for IN HIS PRESENCES, Sin is REVEALED and CONSUMED.

It is through HIS HOLINESS that DARKNESS if revealed and OVERCOME.

Laying aside all thoughts of our own, preconceived notions of what the problem really is and ALLOW the LORD to SEARCH OUR Heart, Mind, and Body.

Allow the LORD access to your HEART, GIVES  HIM opportuntity to EXPOSE SIN,

Do not seek to bring about your OWN CONVICTION, Allow the LORD to REVEAL.

PERHAPS the LORD is WORKING on an INWARD SPIRITUAL problem rather than the OUTWARD/CUP problem.Outward ADDITIONS and STUMBLINGS often are SIMPTOMS of inward HEALING that needs to occur.

Don’t take it upon yourself to DETERMINE what HE is going to REVEAL. ALLOW the HOLY SPIRIT to do the WORK that HE was meant to do.

2 Cor 10: 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

2 Cor 10: 4 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

2 Cor 10: 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

ROMANS 8: 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Asking HIM to reveal the “SIN” or “HEALING” that needs to come to our LIVES.

Conclusion:

The assignment for today is: ROMANS 12: 1

LET us PRESENT ourselves as a LIVING SACRIFICE to the LORD.

1.  Find a QUIET PLACE that you can get before the LORD. Ask HIM to SEARCH you out, REVEAL anything that is in your HEART, MIND, BODY that is NOT Of HIM.

2. SIT QUIETLY before HIM, DWELL in HIS PRESENCES and allow the HOLY SPIRIT to SEARCH YOUR HEART. WAIT patiently for an ANSWER.

* Very often this comes THROUGH WORSHIP, PRAISE until you find that PLACE of WORSHIP (worship is deeper than praise, worship brings us into a PLACE where we are PREPARED to RECEIVE from the ONE that has ALL KNOWLEDGE and RIGHTEOUSNESS, it is a place of RESTORATION)

When the ANSWER COMES:

3. SURRENDER to the CALL, CONFESS that it is NOT OF THE LORD. And that We desire to bring our THOUGHTS, SH, SB into CONFORMITY with CHRIST.

The first step to OVERCOMING is the WILLINGNESS to SURRENDER. IF a person is NOT WILLING to SURRENDER then the REPENTANCE will NEVER COME. .

SUBMIT to HIS POWER, REPENT, and SEEK RESTORATION.

THE OVERCOMING may not come in ONE SITTING, but the KEY to the OVERCOMING is  KNOWING the WILL of the LORD in OUR LIFE. 

May the LORD lead us to THE GODLY SORROW:

2 Cr 7: 10 

For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Godly Sorrow will lead to REPENTANCE. 

BEGIN WALKING by FAITH in that SURRENDER, so when the enemy comes to TEMPT we can SURRENDER our FLESH to the LORD for HIS POWER TO OVERCOME the TEMPTATION.

We must KNOW the WILL of the LORD, that the enemy can not cause us to be DOUBLE MINDED. ONCE the conviction comes, REPENTANCE will not be far behind, then we are able to RISE up from the cross to get to the POWER Of the RESURRECTION. That is the ABUNDANT LIFE.

PHIL 3: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death

What is the WILL OF THE LORD in YOUR LIFE? For it is HIS TRUTH that will SET US FREE.

AMEN, I pray that this will bring HEALING and SURRENDER to the BODY OF CHRIST, Through the works of the HOLY SPIRIT,  in JESUS NAME AMEN.

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE and THANKS, and TRUST:: Wecrymercy

The SPIRIT IS CALLING for SURRENDER to Change in OUR LIVES:

Thank you Father for YOUR GREAT WISDOM, YOUR MERCY, YOUR LOVE, YOUR PROTECTION. Thank you FATHER for being OUR ABBA, to me and my family. Thank you FATHER for the years of the journey of Witnessing YOU at work in our lives, that we can have CONFIDENCE that WHAT YOU SAY, YOU are ABLE to FULFILL.

Thank you for MERCIFULLY sharing with us that we would be prepared, with mind, body and soul to get out of BABYLON.

FATHER, We are READY and willing to do YOUR WILL. Our Heart is prepared to leave it all behind. We only wait for YOUR INSTRUCTIONS and the means in which YOU have prepared for us to leave.

YOU are the GOD of the UNIVERSE and nothing is withheld from YOUR HANDS. Nothing is beyond YOU.

LORD I pray as a member of YOUR body, that you would give us an INCREASE of FAITH, COURAGE, and STRENGTH to move forward in our FAITH towards OBEDIENCE to what you have CALLED. LORD I pray that would protect us from TEMPTATION, and the aggression and deceptions of the enemy. Make YOUR instructions sure and certain, that we not falter in the way.. Prepare the hearts of our children, give them a revelations of YOUR WILL for their lives.

We ask that you give us increase in FAITH to DIE for a TESTIMONY to YOUR NAME. For JESUS, YOU are worthy to be PRAISED and HONORED.

Into YOUR hands I surrender All.

AMEN, let it be so IN JESUS NAME

John 5: 30 I can of mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just; because I seek NOT mine own will, but the WILL of the FATHER which hath sent me.

Will YOU RECEIVE COUNSEL? WECRYMERCY

Psalms 1: 1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

The LORD is FAITHFUL to HIS body. HIS desire is always good for us, but too often we go astray and HIS WILL of the SWORD, FAMINE, and PESTILENCE must bring about cleansing and purification needed to bring about HIS DESIRE of a PURE and HOLY BRIDE:

Those that CRY OUT from their HEART will be answered. For a broken contrite HEART HE WILL NOT BE DESPISED.

Ps 34: 18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

THE LORD is not only MERICIFUL and FULL of GRACE, but HE is also, HOLY, righteous and requires JUSTICE and TRUTH.

We are moving in the time of PURIFICATION, CLEANSING, through the WRATH of SATAN.

The BODY OF CHRIST will  endure the GREAT TRIBULATION:

A time of SATAN’S indignation upon the earth.

Known as the TIME OF TROUBLE:

Dan 12: 1 a time like we have never seen before

3 ½ years of satan’s wrath

Rev 13: 7 to make war with the saints, and to overcome them.

Matt 24  except those days should be shortened...no flesh be saved.

There is ONLY ONE SAFE DWELLING PLACE, that is in the WINGS of the THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, ABIDING DAILY before HIM, IN HIS presence we can assured that we will endure in death or in life.

The BODY has lost it SALT, the BODY of CHRIST has lost its LIGHT has hidden it under a bed (salt stings, light burns) Defiled what is HOLY, RIGHT AND JUST.

WOULD YOU PLEASE, STOP HIDING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND:

IF OUR faith can not endure the SPOKEN words of the wrath of satan to come.

How in the world are we going to endure the “ACTUAL EVENTS” of what is coming. If you choose to remain in simplicity and ignorance, do not BLAME the LORD for what is going to come upon you.

WISDOM means "SKILL FOR LIVING"
Proverbs 1: 20 Wisdom crieth without, she uttereth her voice in the streets.
Proverbs 1: 22 How long, ye simple (naive) ones, will love simplicity?
Proverbs 1: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD
Proverbs 1: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reprove.
Proverbs 1: 33 But whoso hearketh unto me (the LORD) shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Stop sticking your head in the sand as though IGNORING it, it would go away. 

To ignore what is coming, you will not be prepared.  

DON’T fear what SATAN can do to you, but HAVE REVERENCE TO GOD, by seeking HIS DESIRE, HIS WILL, and HIS INSTRUCTION.

PRAY that YOU be found FAITHFUL, Pray NOW that you be PURIFIED, CLEANSED, that you would endure through HIS strength till the end.

We must Submit and Surrender today, and HUMBLE ourself before the LORD.

Desire HIS HEART and HIS WAYS, that we may ENDURE until the end.

REV 19: 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

REV 19: 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

DOES GOD TRULY DESIRE, HOLINESS, righteousness, justice?

LET US consider the past:

Ezekiel 22: 24 "Son of man, say to her: 'You [are] a land that is not cleansed [fn] or rained on in the day of indignation.'

Ezekiel 22: 25 "The conspiracy of her prophets [fn] in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured people; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.

We are in such a time as the “GATHERING of the PROPHETS” always about conspiring with each other to LEAD the people to idols, and treasures and precious things. Things that PLEASE the FLESH, that speak of PROSPERITY, GAIN and PROFIT.

They gather among themselves and conversing and planning the NEXT WORD of GOD to put forth among the people. Directing the path of the people to THEIR OWN STUMBLING BLOCKS. The idols within their hearts. LEADING others to their IDOLS, rather than HOLINESS, righteousness, and justice.

PROPHETS of VANITY and IDOLS presenting STUMBLING BLOCKS BEFORE GOD’S people.

EZ 14: 1-11

Vs. 3 "Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?

EZ 4 "Therefore speak to them, and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,

PRIEST: TEACHERS, Pastors, elders, who have been subdued by their own LUST, of gain, profaning what is HOLY, pure, righteous. they can not even distinguish anymore between the two, what is VILE and what I PREICOUS before the LORD.

EZ 22: 26 "Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known [the difference] between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

EZ 22: 27 "Her princes in her midst [are] like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain.

Making GOD’S people prey for their own dishonest gain.

EZ 22: 23 "Her prophets plastered them with untempered [mortar], seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD had not spoken.

SEE STUDY--- STANDING in the GAP. and INTERCESSORY PRAYER

Untempered mortar

1) foolish, insipid

2) (BDB) tasteless, unseasoned

3) whitewash

a) meaning uncertain

The PROPHETS and THEIR LYING visions of prosperity, gains and profit,

Building up whitewashed walls upon a HOLY foundation (JESUS CHRIST).

TEACHING:  doctrines of devils, covering sin with BLESSINGS, not preaching REPENTANCE, but refusing SOUND DOCTRINE.

Using VISIONS and DIVINING LIES to get their OWN prosperity.

EZ 22: 29

"The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger.

The PEOPLE in AUTHORITY, Our government, oppressing us, committing robbery, mistreating the TRUE poor and needy.

WILL you be among those HE has SOUGHT to preach truth, justice and HOLINESS? OR Will you BUILD a WALL of UNTEMPERED MORTAR, white washing sin, covering it with blessings?

EZ 22: 30 "So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

SEE study—STANDING IN THE GAP.

What does the LORD say to this..

WHO will stand for TRUTH, JUSTICE, Who will be WILLING to go before HIM and plead for HIS TRUTH, HIS MERCY to be RESTORED.

HE will not COVER SIN or UNTEMPERED MORTAR with BLESSINGS, but will REVEAL SIN, for HIS DESIRE is for HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE OF HIS SON.

EZ 22: 31 "Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD.

Whose DEEDS will the sword, famine and judgment come upon--- the BODY OF CHRIST.

IF WE, the BODY of CHRIST, do not begin to REPENT and be RECONCILED, RESTORED, SHARE TRUTH, SPEAK OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, SEEK HIS DESIRE for HOLINESS, Be a LIGHT to the word, in honor,with  integrity and LOVE, HIS Indignation will come pouring down upon OUR HEADS.

EZ 44: 10 "And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

Ez 44: 12 "Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand in an oath against them," says the Lord GOD, "that they shall bear their iniquity.

EZ 44: 13 "And they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Most Holy [Place]; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.

ADMONISHMENT:

IF you are not experiencing that personal relationship, it is TIME to make a change.

GET before HIM and allow yourself to be examined by HIM, Seek HIS FACE, determine to DRAW NEAR, to HEAR HIS VOICE, confessing all sin, repent, and be RECONCILED.

Better to be concerned with what CONDEMNS your soul, than what can destroy your flesh.

FROM the Dwelling in HIS PRESENCES THEN 

Your heart will begin to DESIRE the things HE DESIRES.

Blessings donna

FIRST LOVE/ faith increased by steps of obedience: by Wecrymercy

Deut 11: 22 For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

John 21: 17 . He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Do you ever ask: : LORD WHERE ARE YOUR PEOPLE?

They say they love YOU, but they never seek to fellowship with YOU..

They say they love you, but they would rather spend their day laying around, reading the news, playing games, and wonder why life is so desolate. (empty, void of HIS presences)

They say they love you, but they dislike studying and reject YOUR WORD, seeking to find out more about YOU, YOUR character, YOUR mercies, YOUR Truth, YOUR Ways. The Desires of YOUR HEART.

They say they love you,  but they would rather remain quiet for the sake of PEACE KEEPING, and let people DIE in their sins, and go to HELL.. And THEY call that the gospel of LOVE???.

They say they love you, but their LIVES speak otherwise, they live in adultery from YOU, get drunk on Friday, lie, steal, abuse their neighbor, and constantly seek excuses not to ABIDE IN YOU or with with YOU.

How can  that be LOVE?? For those that LOVE YOU, LOVE YOUR DESIRE.

We must ask ourselves: Have we forgotten our FIRST LOVE?

Are we a WALKING, TALKING LIVING SACRIFICE?

True love involves an active abiding relationship with someone.
 

INCREASING IN FAITH:

James 2: 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Faith is made PERFECT/complete by the steps of OBEDIENCE/works we make from the CALL.

Are you hearing the SHEPARD’S voice?

Do you DESIRE an INCREASE IN FAITH?

*LISTEN FOR THE CALL, the voice of the Shepard,  The instructions/call come from HIM, 

*Walk in faith in Steps of obedience 

*Faith is increased as we begin to WITNESS HIM, manifest HIMSELF through our obedience.

IF you are “NOT” HEARING HIS VOICE, experiencing or Witnessing HIM at work in your life today. Then it is time for an EXAMINATION of your FAITH.

IS your faith in vain?

For “FAITH” in “FAITH” is not enough to get you through what is coming. There is only ONE TRUE FAITH, that is FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, FAITH increased through a LIFE of OBEDIENCE IN HIM.

Today is the DAY OF SALVATION

Salvation is an INTIMATE PERSONAL RELATIONS. A journey of a life time of FAITH, and OBEDIENCE. 

IF you are not experiencing that personal relationship, it is TIME to make a change.

GET before HIM and allow yourself to be examined by HIM, Seek HIS FACE, determine to DRAW NEAR, to HEAR HIS VOICE, confessing all sin, repent, and be RECONCILED.

Better to be concerned with what CONDEMNS your soul, than what can destroy your flesh.

FROM the Dwelling in HIS PRESENCES THEN 

Your heart will begin to DESIRE the things HE DESIRES.

Amen

Is 45: 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else.

Luke 18: 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

IS it possible for the Elect/Called to be DECEIVED or FALL AWAY?

IS it possible for the Elect/Called to be DECEIVED or FALL AWAY?

REV 19: 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

He DECEIVED them with MIRACLES, that they would RECEIVE the MARK of the BEAST.

To be honest, I didn’t find any pleasure in what I concluded from this study. But I am not out to prove what I THINK I know, but what I truly Find as TRUTH.

Let me ask you a Question:

In all the things that are happening today. Many reports of judgment, nuclear attacks, earth quakes etc.
These things are GOOD to know.

HOWEVER, Has it not OCCURED to anyone that THESE are merely things that KILL the FLESH.

I think I would be far more CONCERNED with what action might CONDEMN MY SOUL.
A distruction of the FLESH would be NOTHING but GAIN.
.

We must remember that it is in the TRUTH that we are SET FREE – HE will SET us FREE of our DECEPTIONS through HIS TRUTH.

<b>So the Question becomes CAN the Called or CHOSEN/Elect be DECEIVED? What is ETERNAL SECURITY?

</b>

Consider the scriptures below in regard to the question,

“Was JESUS Contradicting HIMSELF?”

Are these scriptures in Harmony with one another? Are they in Harmony with the OT?

<b>1. Can a BELIEVER BE DECEIVED or NOT?</b>

<b>Matt 24: 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed (warning) that no man deceive you.</b>

IF I can’t be DECEIVED, then why tell me to TAKE HEED?

<b>Matt 24: 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible1415, they shall deceive the very elect.</b>

We should look a little closer at the words “POSSIBLE” “They” and “IT WERE”

*Possible is an Adjective, Adjective describe NOUNS.

*The NOUN here appears to be “THEY” So who are the THEY?

*(it were) was added and not in the original context.

Possible: 1) able, powerful, mighty, strong

a) mighty in wealth and influence

b) strong in soul

1) to bear calamities and trials with fortitude and patience

2) strong in Christian virtue

2) to be able (to do something)

a) mighty, excelling in something

b) having power for something

So could it possibly read if we TAKE definition number “1” or the second “2” ?

*In light of MANY other scriptures this the definition that I have chosen.

So let’s translate Matt 24: 24

For there shall arise false Christ, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,

IF (THEY are) ABLE,  POWERFUL, MIGHTY, STRONG, in wealth and influence,  strong in soul, they shall deceive the very elect?

IS the<b> THEY</b> referring back to the ones WHO are ABLE?

<b>2. WHO ARE THESE SERVANTS being WARNED about in these verses ? FALSE PROPHETS, FALSE CHRIST who are out to DECEIVE.</b>

Matt 24: 24 For there shall arise false Christ, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;

Matt 13: 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:

Matt 13: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.

Matt 24: 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

It seems to me that the DECEPTION, in this case, is about FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE CHRIST, that are claiming to be CHRIST.  Who will seek out many to follow them.  And apparently, we can BE DECEIVED.

<b>3. Verses that indicated that there is a difference between being CALLED and CHOSEN:</b>

Matt 20: 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Matt 22: 14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.

<b>We all MUST ASK ourselves. Have I been CALLED or have I BEEN CHOSEN?</b>

________________________________________________________________________

<b>4. IS there a  “The FALLEN AWAY?”:</b>

The TEN VIRGINS:  Matt 25: 12 But he answered and said

VERILY, I say unto you, I KNOW YOU NOT.

HE didn’t say HE never knew them but that HE does not know them now.

Many say this is about the HOLY SPIRIT/OIL. I believe this is about the BUYING and SELLING. Remember Acts 8: 18 You can NOT BUY the HOLY SPIRIT.

If one returns to BUY anything during these days, you must receive a MARK in order to receive it.  I have personally concluded that the UNWISE VIRGINS returned to PURCHASE OIL. DURING a period of time, when the MARK is in FORCE, there will be NO buying without the MARK of the BEAST.  Thus, their FATE was sealed.

The HOLY SPIRIT Is a “GIFT” offered by GOD In the COVENANT RELATIONSHIP.

* Often referred to as the “wedding ring” in the marriage.

<b>The UNFAITHFUL SERVANT: Matt 24: 50

</b>

Matt 24: 50 The LORD of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh NOT for HIM, and in an hour that he is not aware of

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion, with the hyprocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Quote: “The LORD Of that servant”

IF he was the “LORD of that servant” doesn’t it seem REASONABLE to believe he was a PART of the BODY of CHRIST at one time?

Did HE say, I never KNEW YOU?

Another example:

Matt 25: 14-30 the UNPROFITABLE SERVANT

<b>The  FALLING AWAY:</b>

2 Thess 2: 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The FALLING AWAY precedes the REVEALING of the ‘son of perdition”.

________________________________________________________________________

<b>5. DECEIVED:  </b>

1) to cause to stray, to lead astray, lead aside from the right way

a) to go astray, wander, roam about

2) metaph.

a) to lead away from the truth, to lead into error, to deceive

b) to be led into error

c) to be led aside from the path of virtue, to go astray, sin

d) to sever or fall away from the truth

1) of heretics

e) to be led away into error and sin

Including Scriptures that were “TRANSLATED” differently but have the same meaning:

1 Tim 2: 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Matt 24: 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive4105 you.

Luke 21: 8 And he said , Take heed that ye be4105 not deceived4105 : for many shall come in my name, saying , I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near : go ye not therefore after them.

2 Peter 2: 15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray4105 , following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

1 John 1: 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive4105 ourselves, and the truth is not in us

1 John 2: 26 These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that seduce4105 you.

Rev 2: 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce4105 my servants to commit fornication , and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

<b>CONCLUSION:</b>

In my understanding and conclusion of this study:

YES, the CALLED and the CHOSEN can be DECEIVED and FALL AWAY:

THERE is only “ONE” SALVATION that is JESUS CHRIST. HE is THE SALVATION. The Author and finisher of our FAITH. We are HIS SERVANTS, HIS BRIDE, hands, feet etc.

IF the FATHER does not WITNESS JESUS, as the HEAD of YOU then there is NO SALVATION.

To abide IN HIM is the ONLY means of SALVATION.  IN HIM, we are saved ETERNALLY; WE live by the SPIRIT, and not the FLESH. A Believer can BE DECEIVED through the LUST of his FLESH.

The WORD ABIDE here is the most convincing EVIDENCE of ALL: It is through the ABIDING that we find our SECURITY in "HIS"  SALVATION:

ABIDE is a VERB:

Meaning.. to express through an ACTION “of going forward” to continue in, to dwell, to remain, to stand, in constant residence.

To NOT abide, in constant action, dwell, IN HIM, in a PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP. Not living in the PRESENCE of a HOLY UNION, between JESUS CHRIST, the mediator of our SOUL and SPIRIT, is to be LOST, condemned, desolate.

Salvation is NOT a ONE TIME EXPERIENCE, But a daily abiding RELATIONSHIP of REPENTANCE, SUBMISSION and CONFORMING to the IMAGE OF CHRIST. A Relationship that involves HEARING HIS VOICE.

Salvation is a COVENANT between “TWO” and like the MARRIAGE BED, is not easily BROKEN.

HOWEVER, through ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP the TERMS of the COVENANT can be BROKEN. A wedding ring (HOLY SPIRIT) can be retracted.

A BILL of DIVORCEMENT may be given through the adulterous act. The LORD is VERY LONGSUFFERING, but we would be foolish to TEST

Our GOD is a JEALOUS GOD.

The OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW TESTAMENT are in HARMONY.

The FATHER'S character has not changed.
He still desires and requires fellowship and a relationship with HIS creation. A relationship is an active living breathing, communion between two.
We can TRUST that HIS WORDS are TRUE, Eternal Security is in KNOWING the ONE that is the GREAT I AM.

<b>Jeremiah 3: 8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.</b>

So what is the HOPE of our CALLING:

That we would be found IN CHRIST, ABIDING in HIM, Dwelling safely under HIS WINGS, DAILY, that we would be able to OVERCOME.

There is only ONE TRUE SECURITY. That is ABIDING IN JESUS CHRIST.

REV 3: 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

2 Peter 2: 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

ARE YOU ABIDING IN JESUS CHRIST?  It is through the ABIDING that we will  DWELL in HIS PRESENCES, HEAR HIS VOICE, learn of HIS WISDOM and INSTRUCTIONS, that we be able to STAND, and endure through to the end. IF you do not have an ACTIVE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with CHRIST today, get before HIM and confess and repent to whatever has or is hindering that RELATIONSHIP, that your relationship can be restored and you can be renewed in SPIRIT.
A broken and contrite HEART HE WILL NOT DESPISE.

GIVE your LIFE FULLY today to HIM as a LIVING SACRIFICE. ROMANS 12: 1 That HE may keep you ETERNALLY under HIS WING.

Psalms 106: 45 And HE remembered for them HIS covenant, and repented according to the multitude of HIS mercies.

47. Save us, O LORD, our GOD, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy HOLY NAME, and to triumph in thy HOLY PRAISE.

AMEN and AMEN

The APOSTATE JEWS/ and the GOOD MEN During Antiochus Reign:: by wecrymercy

The APOSTATE JEWS During Antiochus Reign:

Who can handle the TRUTH?

Who will compromise?
Do you really think you are going to get away with WORSHIP, during the evil reign of the LITTLE HORN?

The works of JOSEPHUS pg. 256

And the sons of Tobias took the part of Menelaus, but the greater part of the people assisted Jason; and by that means Menelaus and the sons of Tobias were distressed, and retired to Antiochus, and informed him, that they were desirous to leave the laws of their country, and the Jewish way of living according to them, and to follow the king’s laws, and the Greciah way of living.

Whereas they desired his permission to build them a gymnasium at Jerusalem. And when he had given them leave, they also hid the circumcision of their genitals, that even when they were naked they might appear to be GREEKS.

Accordingly, they left off all the customs that belonged to their Country, and imitated the practices of other nations.


Pg 267 “WARNING VERY GRAPHIC”

And when the king had built an idol altar upon God’s altar, he slew swine upon it, and so offered a sacrifice neither according to the law, nor the JEWISH religious worship in that country.

He also compelled them to forsake the WORSHIP which they paid their OWN GOD, and to adore those whom, he took to be gods; and made them build temples, and raise idols altars, in every city and village, and offer swine upon them every day. He Also commanded them not to CIRCUMCISE their sons, and threatened to punish any that should be found to have transgressed his injunction. He also appointed overseers, who should compel them to do what he commanded.

And INDEED the JEWS there were who complied with the king’s commands, either voluntarily, or out of fear of the penalty that was denounced.

The TEMPLE and CIRCUMCISION was a FORESHADOW of JESUS CHRIST and was HONORED BY GOD, thus the customs were HONORED by the MEN OF GOD.

But the BEST MEN, and those of the noblest souls, did not regard him, but did pay a greater respect to the customs of their country than concern as to the punishment which he threatened to the disobedient: on which account they every day under went great miseries and bitter torments; for they were whipped with rods, and their bodies were torn to pieces abs were crucified while they were still alive and breathed; they also strangled those women and their sons whom they had circumcised, as the king had appointed, hanging their sons about their necks as they sacred book of the law found, it was destroyed; and those which whom they were found, miserably perished also.

WILL WE be willing to die for our TESTIMONY “OF” JESUS CHRIST? WILL you HONOR the LIVING TEMPLE, to YOUR DEATH?

THIS life is short, it fadeth away everyday.

Don't be afraid of what man can do to you, but FEAR HIM who has POWER over your SOUL:

Those that will give into the "FLESH", will suffer in the LAKE of FIRE.
for that is the 2nd DEATH: A life of TORMENT in the FLESH, for the FLESH. NEVER to be RESURRECTED TO NEW LIFE.

REV 2: 11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.


REV 20: 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

REV 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death


REV 20: 6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.


AMEN donna GET REAL WITH GOD TODAY!!!!!

STOP playing those idols games of vanity, and peace.

TRUE GODLY LOVE Is taught from an ETERNAL Interest, And those that BELIEVE, STAND for TRUTH will be willing to DIE for TRUTH, and be able to ENDURE until the end.
