Healing and Deliverance

GOD is GOOD GOD is GREAT!!!


Going to SEEK to be brief. This is my OFFERING this Morning. I pray that you will take it to the LORD in meditation and consideration.


I wanted to share something this morning that I Believe is “very important for the HEALING and DELIVERANCE of the BODY of CHRIST.

How many times have you HEARD this statement in my post..

"REPENTANCE is about HEALING!!!" HEARING FROM the LORD, that we may live in the abundance of HIS BLESSINGS, both physically and spiritually. Not to be ashamed of, but to be in the PURSUIT OF HIM and HIS IMAGE.

Honestly I believe, We have the wrong concept about REPENTANCE, the FOCUS from a GODLY prospective isn't about being WRONG, but being HEALED.

That is WHAT SALVATION IS.. HEALING.

First, I believe that OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST “DESIRES” are always GOOD for us, both SPIRITUALLY and PHYSICALLY.


HE DESIRES an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with each one of us. And HE does offer us BLESSINGS through OBEDIENCE, we inherent that through the PROMISE.


Sometimes I really wonder if PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE that to be TRUE??


Satan is the FATHER of all lies, he is a deceiver, seeking whom he can devour.

I REALLY wish we would CAPTURE the TRUTH of that statement. IF only the LORD would open our eyes to this, I think many of us would be willing and ready to unify.


1. He seeks to STEAL the Blessings/physical and Spiritual from the BODY of CHRIST, 2. SEEKS to cause confusion, which disrupts the UNITY of the BODY of CHRIST



By these various methods of deceptions and lies, the BODY OF CHRIST is sick with infirmities, and spiritually desolate.

According to the Doctrines we hold to, determines HOW we live our life:

]Would you consider this example:


Satan went into the GARDEN OF EDEN, disguised as a snake, and he LIED and DECEIVED EVE, gave her a PORTION of TRUTH, mixed with a LIE. “That is FALSE DOCTRINE” usually a mixture of truth and a lie. OH he is crafty.


]What did it ultimately do to the LIVE of ADAM and EVE.



It caused SEPARATION, in the fellowship they had with GOD.

2. It caused PHYSICAL DEATH.



Seeking GOD’S TRUTH is about HEALING, DELIVERANCE from the LIES of SATAN. That we could LIVE in LIBERTY.


What do you really think it is about JUST BEING RIGHT??


It is about LIVING in the ABUNDANCE LIFE, and being IN FELLOWSHIP in that INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with HIM. For HIS GLORY, that we can be LIGHT unto the WORLD. About a KINGDOM PEOPLE, living in UNITY, with good health, both spiritually and physically.


ACTS 4: 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



OUR Foundation is JESUS CHRIST, HE is the CORNER STONE Of our FAITH.

However, we are also a TEMPLE, building upon that foundation with WALLS of DOCTRINE to LIVE by.


PRECEPTS upon PRECEPTS of HIS TRUTH for GODLY LIVING and the PURSUIT of HIM.


What we build OUR temple walls with will either be by GOD’S TRUTH or with the DECEPTIONS and LIES of SATAN.



We can CHOOSE to be SEEKERS of TRUTH, that GOD will bring the INCREASE to our KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, that we may live in the BLESSINGS of GOD, PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY according to GOD’S precepts and principles.



Or WE can choose to walk in the deceptions and lies that satan has GAINED a FOOTHOLD into our lives and THE LORD HIMSELF will bring a MIGHTY wind and bring those WALLS of deceptions and lies down, leaving us in sorrow, suffering, pain, and despair. OUR HUMILITY will come now, or the LORD will have to FORCE it upon us in the wilderness.



]Ez 13: 10 [/size]Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [morter]:



EZ 13: 11 [/size]Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [morter], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].



EZ 13: 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [morter], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.



May you have a blessed day.

A VISION/DREAM

All visions and dreams are not meant to be shared with the BODY, some are personal warnings an admonishments.

Personally I don't have a lot of "SPIRITUAL" significant dreams, but USUALLY when I do, I set up and take notice. This one I had TWO days ago, and I really am still in the DISCOVERY PHASE as to what it MEANT to my LIFE or the LIFE of the BODY.

This is ONE, I really felt like I should share this one..

I still have SUCH QUESTIONS as:

WHY now did the LORD send this vision?

What was the significance of the vision?

And HOW do I apply it to my understaning?

MANY questions that I do not have ANSWERS to



THE VISION: (I was dreaming already, but my dream was INTERRUPTED by this vision)

SUDDENLY I found myself: Standing before TWO WOMEN. I heard the LORD'S voice telling me to WRAP my arms around theses TWO women and CALL upon the HOLY SPIRIT.

Honestly, I know I felt rather strange in being obedident to this, "BECAUSE NO ONE" wants to do something and then find out that the HOLY SPIRIT didn't actually move. But.. I SAID "OK LORD, thy WiLL be done" at all cost.

When I wrapped my arms around the TWO ladies, a powerful WIND blew from behind me.. the HAIR on our heads and our clothing blew around in accordance with the wind.

Now here is the REALLY interesting part:

When I stepped back.

I could see the FACES of BOTH LADIES.

ONE LADY had great PEACE and JOY, I could see purity and cleansing had happen in her life etc.

The OTHER was angry, almost demonic looking. Disstored etc. SHE was ABSOLUTELY became RESISTANT to the SPIRIT.





I remember sharing a message of when "HOLY MEETS DARKNESS" what happens when the HOLY SPIRIT meets DARKNESS?

This dream HONESTLY SEEMINGLY was a VISION confirming that very message.

The one woman was REBELLIOUS and had RESISTED the HOLY SPIRIT in ABSOLUTE DISCUSS and anger.

NOT only RESISTING but was out and out.. angry and bitter, etc.

So I looked up the scriptures on RESISTING the HOLY SPIRIT and this is what I found.

SPEAKING of the LIFE of STEPHEN:



ACTS 6: 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

concordance: SPIRIT

1) the third person of the triune God, the Holy Spirit, coequal, coeternal with the Father and the Son

ACTS 6: 11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.

Now interesting they could NOT resist the HOLY SPIRIT, YET they sought to find Evidence against STEPHEN, saying that HE BLASPHMED the WORDS of MOSES?

Later to find out they were brought to absolute RAGE:

Acts 7: 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye.

Acts 7: 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

ACTS 7: 58 And cast [him] out of the city, and stoned [him]: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

Anyone have any other insight to offer??

So what did it mean..

THEY were NOT able to "RESIST the SPIRIT" in ACTS 6: 10

and then in ACTS 7: 51 ye do always "RESIST the HOLY SPIRIT?"

Of course we know the story, ultimately in the END, they became enraged and NEVER "ACKNOWLEDGED the TRUTH of the GOSPEL"??

Thanks donna

This was the ORIGINAL WORD I shared a couple of years back:

PLEASE understand I am not SAYING WE are HOLY, I am speaking in terms of the HOLY SPIRIT confronting the DARKNESS.

The FATHER, the JESUS/WORD, and the HOLY SPIRIT always
agree.



When LIGHT (what is HOLY and PRECIOUS) MEETS darkness,darkness is “exposed”. And you will often see the manifestations of the
darkness rising up.



Men would prefer to often REMAIN in darkness.. Hey I don’t claim to be an exception, our FLESH is the one we most often battle.


John 1: 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.


John 3: 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


The HOLY SPIRIT IS also a consuming FIRE, thus HE intends to burn off the dross, and to refine our thinking, and works under the COVENANT we have with GOD.


Heb 12: 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear


Heb 12: 29 For our God [is] a consuming fire.


The HOLY SPIRIT convicts of sin, unrighteousness, reproves the world of sin and REVEALS what is HOLY of GOD.


John 16: 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:



John 15: 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:


Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;


Now to the point..

I really want to share this because I “know” that in the upcoming days we are going to “SEE” more and more CONTENTIOUS SPIRITS. Because WHEN the HOLY SPIRIT meets what is UNHOLY/darkness the demonic that is either oppressing or possessing a person will RILE up to protect FALSE DOCTRINE.


WE must be prepared:


Just because something isn’t received in PEACE doesn’t mean it isn’t TRUTH. The Difference is the MALLEABILITY of the BELIEVER.


For when it is TRUTH/HOLY it convicts, and reproves sin. Generally, when a person is MAILABLE, humbled before the LORD, sin can be
REPENTED of and the PERSON is restored.


The LAST comment I would like to make on this is:

Though we don't always know or have FOREKNOWLEDGE of the OUT COME of what the HOLY SPIRIT is doing, I believe the KEY is to be OBEDIENT to the CALL.
IF DEATH COMES, like STEPHEN, then so be it..

IT Is apparent to me,, THAT STEPHEN'S pain was MOSTLY overcome by the HOLY SPIRIT within him, because HE was able to SEE INTO HEAVEN by the SPIRIT.

Well just thought I would share that with the BODY this morning..

LET us be FAITHFUL in the CALL, that we would be FOUND FAITHFUL SERVANTS and overcomers

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2 other things come to mind here: TWO things we should never forget!!

ONE, it truly is a SPIRITUAL BATTLE
SECOND: the response is because of the demonic.. LOVE the man, hate the evil.

a TESTIMONY to JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD and KING.. cont.

JESUS the CHRIST was and is the “PROMISED MESSIAH” .



MESSIAH:


The word 'Messiah' comes from the Hebrew word ' Mashiach' in the Old Testament meaning 'anointed' and originally applied to the kings of Israel who were anointed with the holy oil. The word 'Messiah' also refers to the expected Prince of the Chosen who was to complete God's purposes, and to redeem them, and of whose coming, the prophets of the Old Covenant, spoke. He was the Messiah, 'The Anointed', consecrated as the King and Prophet by God's appointment. In the New Testament the word 'Messiah' is called 'Christos' in Greek or 'Christ' in English.





Though He was KNOWN by many names and titles, HIS TITLES or NAMES “individually” do not give a COMPLETE understanding  of who HE IS.



HIS PURPOSE: WAS and IS the REDEEMER and RESTORER of HIS CREATION.



HE CAME To PURCHASE a FALLEN WORLD, by through HIS REDEEMING BLOOD:.



That is the END SUMMARY of HIS REDEMPT IVE WORK.



The FINAL page of HIS WORK.



Cor 15: 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.



HE was PROPHECIED and TESTIFIED to, by the FATHER and the HOLY SPIRIT.



HONESTLY, IF ONE does not TRULY believe that is TRUTH, HE IS THE MESSIAH, with ALL their HEART, MIND and SOUL.



They are NONE OF HIS, and They will NEVER BE WILLING TO DIE for the “TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST”.



REV 12: 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.



You might as well, profess and confess, that you are MORMON, MUSLIM, BUDIST or a simple MORAL man/woman seeking to improve upon Creation.



JESUS CHRIST was OFTEN known by many TITLES and NAMES, most of which had to do with HIS WORK as the MESSIAH.



HOWEVER, THOSE that confessed that HE was as PROPHET, PRIEST, GOOD TEACHER etc.



DID NOT necessarily acknowledge HIM as the REDEEMER of CREATION, " THE MESSIAH"



JOHN 15: 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.



LET'S READ HIS CONVERSATION with HIS DISCIPLES:



Matt 16: 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?



Matt 16: 14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.



Matt 16: 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?



Matt 16: 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living .



PETER confessed that JESUS was not ONLY the "SON OF MAN" but that HE was ALSO, THE CHRIST/MESSIAH.



Matt 16: 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.





A GOOD time for an EXAMINATION:



THIS IS the PROFOUND MYSTERY:



ONLY through the HOLY SPIRIT, is ONE able to TRULY say that JESUS is the CHIRST/the MESSIAH/ LORD of LORD, KING OF KINGS.



1 Cor 12: 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.



LET us not deceive ourself, but be HONEST before GOD.



HE is the ONLY PATHWAY to the FATHER and ETERNAL LIFE:



MANY have and will turn away when told to EAT HIS BODY, DRINK of HIS BLOOD for their CONFESSION is NOT of the SPIRIT. NOT of the REBIRTH, NOT of the ABIDING postion in HIM.



John 6: 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.



(you have no LIVING SPIRIT, HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU, that can commit, or able to STAND in TRUTH.)



John 6: 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.



JOHN 6: 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with HIM.



_____________________________________________________________





LET us WEEP and PRAY and find ANGUISH that the LORD will have MERCY upon our SOULS:



Deut 4: 29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.



Matt 7: 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:



Luke 11: 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.



Psalms 51: 17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.



Pray the LORD will open our EYES and the EYES of our DEARLY BELOVED ONES to the “KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST”


IF ONE can not HOLD to the FAITH in JESUS THE CHRIST, the GOSPEL, then the FOUNDATION is build upon something else, and ALL will come TUMBLING down when tested and tried.



AMEN

A TESTIMONY to JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD, MY KING, and MY SAVIOR


According to MARK.


Mark 1: 1 The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, the SON of GOD.

notes from my bible:

The GOSPEL here refers not to the Whole book but to the content of the early Christian proclamation, which in turn centers on A Person. JESUS is his given name: CHRIST is both a name and HIS old testament TITLE. The SON Of GOD.

MARK 1: 1- 7

JOHN THE BAPTIST:


Mark 1: 2 As it is WRITTEN in the PROPHETS:
Behold , I SEND my messenger (JOHN) BEFORE thy face, which shall PREPARE THY (JESUS) way before THEE.

Mark 1: 3 The VOICE of ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS "PATH STRAIGHT"

MARK 4 JOHN did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the "BAPTISM of REPENTANCE" for the remission of sins.

NOTES from my bible:
John breaks a centuries-long prophetic silence in Israel. Other JEWISH groups PRACTICED RITUAL water cleansing, but JOHN CALLED ALL ISRAEL to REPENT.

HERE are my thoughts on these 4 passages:

1. John did BAPTIZED with Water, however the WATER BAPTISM was SYMBOLIC to a REPENTANT HEART, A heart that was PREPARED for the COMING Of the LORD JESUS, the MESSIAH the LORD and KING.

NOTES on 1: 5
The whole of JUDEA and JERUSALEM is rocked by JOHN'S presence. The tense of BAPTIZED stresses that it took place continually over a lenght of time. The condition for BAPTISM (by water) was a PUBLIC RESPONSE, by which and in which one CONFESSED his sins.


That was the MESSAGE that JOHN was "SENT" to do.

1. PREACH REPENTANCE

2. PREPARE the WAY for the COMING of the LORD.

(My understanding that JOHN'S CALLING WAS: to PREPARE the HEARTS of the people to REPENT, because they were about to come FACE to FACE with the MESSIAH, their hearts had to be ready to TURN TO FACE GOD, and reject their TRADITIONS and WICKEDNESS)

Mark 1: 7 And PREACHED, saying. There is
one mightier
than I "AFTER" me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

That is Quite a TESTIMONY to WHO JESUS CHRIST was.. not even JOHN in all of His sacrifice and calling felt WORTHY to even TIE the shoes of JESUS CHRIST. YET, he was obedient in his mission and his calling.

To be honest, when I read that it truly makes me SHIVER in PRAISE and REVERENCE the LORD JESUS. How ONE so AWESOME, could LAY DOWN HIS life for one SUCH as me.
A LITTLE TESTIMONY about JOHN THE BAPTIST:
We know JOHN was PROPHET, SENT before the MESSIAH. JOHN was PROPHESIED to COME.

EVIDENCE of HIS CALLING was revealed by the TESTIMONY and POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, ie: during the pregnancy of Elizabeth, when the HOLY SPIRIT LEAPED within her belly.

John also lived his life out in the wilderness, wearing camels hair. he did eat locusts and wild honey.
Probably the most SELF-DENIAL position one can be in.


This is ONE Of the MOST PROFOUND SCRIPTURES to me:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VERSE, perhaps only through a REVELATION of GOD, but THROUGH this VERSE. I found "WHO" JESUS CHRIST REALLY was, is from the BEGINNING to the END.

THE TESTIMONY of WHO HE REALLY IS and What HE REALLY has done for "ME" The WORK, the obedience, the REVERENCE and the HUMILITY I have found BEFORE HIM. as a man in the flesh and as the VERY SON OF GOD.


MARK 1: 8 I indeed have baptized you with Water: (symbolic of repentance)
BUT HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.


The BAPTISM of JESUS CHRIST is the BAPTISM of the HOLY SPIRIT!!!!!

Those that are BAPTISM ED by JESUS CHRIST:


1. ARE Members of the BODY OF JESUS CHRIST, HE is the head, we are the body.

2. It is with "HIS BAPTISM"
"HIS SPIRIT"
, that one is brought into the REBIRTH and REBORN state and enters into the "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN"

3. IT is ONLY through HIS NAME that this BAPTISM comes, and through
NO OTHER NAME.


4. IT was through HIS BIRTH and CONCEPTION by the HOLY SPIRIT, that gives TESTIMONY that it is HIS SPIRIT, and that HE was the only one worthy to be the SACRIFICE for my CONDEMNATION.

5. IT is Through HIS NAME, HIS SACRIFICE, that the
VEIL
falls from our eyes that we can now go BOLDLY to the THRONE OF GOD.And I SAY HALLELUJAH, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME for there is NO OTHER NAME in which to be SAVED.

JOHN 3: 5
JESUS answered:

VERILY I say unto thee, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER/REPENTANCE and of the SPIRIT/HOLY SPIRIT, he can not ENTER INTO the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.


ALL of that just EXCITES ME MOVE ME, brings me GREAT JOY... MOVES the SPIRIT within ME.. HUMBLES ME, THAT HE IS SO AWESOME, and WORTHY, that THROUGH HIM I am SAVED and brought to NEW LIFE and INTO a NEW KINGDOM.

That is my MOTIVATION to move as the LORD CALLS, to be OBEDIENT to the CALL, To find the strength of self-denial.. FROM the LOVE I have for HIM, because HE FIRST LOVED ME. FOR HE laid down IT ALL: HIS RICHES, GLORY and HONOR, to RESTORE this wretched LOST sinner, that I WOULD BE FOUND and have an ABUNDANT LIFE with HIM as MY LORD and KING FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN and AMEN.





EP 4: 5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,


I SEE LOVE:
 



GLORIOUS DAY













ONLY through HIS NAME, HIS DEATH, HIS RESURRECTION am I justified..



FOR IN HIS BLOOD I am forgiven, and I live.



MY LIBERTY, MY LIFE, MY SALVATION, COST HIM EVERYTHING.


Matt 26:For this is my (JESUS CHRIST) blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins

Hbr 9: 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

EMBRACING UNITY in the BODY’S DIVERSITY:


EMBRACING UNITY in the BODY’S DIVERSITY:





I wanted to offer a sharing point this morning on a subject that really is dear to my heart.



And I welcome those that would like to TEST/Discern this, even though I often speak with conviction I am fully aware that some aspects of this could be filtered through a BETTER understanding of TRUTH that you might can offer.



The divergence of UNITY and LIKEMINDEDNESS



This subject is dear to my heart, because I KNOW how difficult it is to come into UNITY, and I TOO, just like many of you,  often have experienced the charge/accusations/and persecutions of those that have become bias to their particular gifting or callings.





 “UNITY OF SPIRIT:



Ep 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

EP 4: 4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

Ep 4: 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism

Ep 4: 6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.



 UNITY in SPIRIT “DOES NOT” always MEAN that we individually are going to TAKE the same PATH or JOURNEY to get to the END of TRUTH.



IE: To be CONFORMED to the IMAGE OF CHIRST,  nor does it mean that INDIVIDUALLY  we are going to use the SAME GIFTING OR CALLING, in the OPERATION, to spread the gospel.



“LIKEMINDEDNESS” is an ELIMENT of UNITY of SPIRIT:



We all should BE LIKEMINDED in CHRIST JESUS:



ROMANS 15: 5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:



LIKEMINDEDNESS leading toward the same END:

Conformity into the IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST

Likemindedness in a KINGDOM sense, interested in ETERNAL things:



ALL PARTS of the BODY OF CHRIST have the indwelling SPIRIT, as a seal, for the REBIRTH or REBORN position in JESUS CHRIST.



1 Cor 12: 3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that “Jesus is the Lord”, but by the Holy Ghost.



To CALL HIM LORD, is a position of HUMILITY, service and obedience. Also a position of INHERITENCE through HIS PROMISE of the inheritance of eternal life.



ONLY through the HOLY SPIRIT can one TRULY confess That JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, and have TRUE CONVICTION in that ABIDING LOVE as LORD OF LORD’S, and KING OF KINGS.



That is the “KNOWLEDGE of GOD”, THAT JESUS CHRIST is TRUE SALVATION, For it is ONLY through the HOLY SPIRIT that one TRULY can ACKNOWLEDGE HIS POWER and AUTHORITY.







So where do LIKEMINDEDNESS and UNITY DIVERGE?





LET’S TAKE a CLOSER LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES  and HOW the LORD has GIVEN EACH PERSON a GIFTING or TALENT for the WORKING of the MINISTRY.



ACCORDING to the SCRIPTURES: we KNOW the LORD has diversites of gifts or callings upon our lives.



1 Cor 12: 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit



1 Cor: 12: 6  And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all



ALL giftings and Calllings are of the SAME SPIRIT, SAME GOD which Worketh ALL IN ALL



1 Cor 12: 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 



The gifts or callings are “DIVERSE in OPERATION/functioning differently” all leading in the SAME DIRECTION: >>> JESUS CHRIST is SAVIOR, LORD, our REDEEMPER, our MEDIATOR, our protector, our high tower, etc.



THIS IS AN IMPORTANT KEY: neither THE GIFTING nor the CALLING is the GOSPEL:



EACH MINISTRY GIFT or CALLING serves as a “VITAL FUNCTION or OPERATION” in the BODY of CHRIST, BUT the GIFT or CALLLING is NOT the GOSPEL.



The GIFTINGS are for the common good of the BODY, so that the GOSPEL can be PREACHED in the FULLNESS OF JESUS CHRIST.



The CALLINGS upon our lives, are for the ministry and purpose of preaching CHRIST JESUS SAVES.



The GIFTING or CALLING is a REFLECTION/FRUIT of the REDEMPTION/RESTORATION that has come from our WORSHIP and OBEDIENCE TOWARDS JESUS CHRIST, but it is not the GOSPEL itself. IT should be evidence/fruit of the TRUTH, that JESUS CHRIST SAVES.



There is ONLY ONE TRUE GOSPEL… JESUS CHRIST SAVES, REDEEMS, and JUSTIFIES.



The HAND is not supposed to force the foot to be hand.



For the eye, the hand, and the foot “ALL” have a specific PURPOSE in the KINGDOM of GOD.



TAKE a CLOSE look at these scriptures:



We can see that the LORD already KNEW we would have CONFLICT and seek to separate ourselves according to the giftings or callings on our LIVES. And HE warns us NOT to do that because each ONE has their unique purpose in the KINGDOM of GOD which cannot be replaced by the others.



1 Cor 12: If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?



So this is my OFFERING today as an admonishment: I am going to make this VERY PERSONAL to me.  I WANT to REMEMBER this for the rest of MY LIFE.





If I ever seek to measure YOUR faith or righteousness before God by the yardstick of MY gifting or calling, then I have FAILED to nurture and encourage the body for which my gifting was given.



Then the MINISTRY, CALLING, or GIFTING, itself has become the GOD of our souls, and the MESSAGE I am presenting, is ANOTHER GOSPEL.



TOO often the GIFTING and CALLING upon the lives of an individual becomes an IDOL unto itself. I have seen MARRIAGES DIVIDE because of GIFTING or CALLINGS. That was NOT MEANT to be so. I do not believe it was EVER, EVER the LORD’S intention for a woman to leave her husband to follow a calling.



This is something I do keep in the FOREFRONT of my MIND, maybe it would be helpful to all of us?



I have NOT shed ONE DROP of BLOOD for anyone’s redemption or salvation, and EVEN IF I DID, EVEN if I died in my faith, or worked my hands to the bone  in ministry or calling or gifting it would NOT hold an ONCE of REDEEMING POWER.



For MY BLOOD is NOT WORTHY, and WILL never be worthy for REDEMPTION. THAT WORK was ACCOMPLISHED by ONE and the ONLY ONE that was ACCEPTABLE. JESUS CHRIST.AMEN



There is ONE BODY, ONE FAITH, ONE LORD



IF I labor let it not be THROUGH VAINITY, not according to MY GOSPEL but according to the ONE THAT HAS CALLED. FOR HE ONLY IS WORTHY OF PRAISE.



IF the hand seeks to be the foot, though the WORK may be Beautiful, it is nonetheless a work of the flesh and not the work of GOD for it was not BROUGHT to LIFE by the HOLY SPIRIT.



                                                                                                                            



To SUMMARIZE:



 “ ONLY ONE DIED, and ROSE” again for my ransom and justification, JESUS CHRIST died for ALL” we individually are not the only focus, HE IS, and HE is interested in the BODY as a WHOLE.



THIS Is Where I believe LIKEMINDEDNESS and TRUE UNITY begin to DIVERGE, and this is where I believe we truly fail as a UNITIFIED BODY of BELIEVERS.



To be LIKEMINDED means we are to be IN ONE ACCORD and UNIFIED IN CHRIST regarding HIS goals, HIS desires and HIS eternal purposes for HIS Body.



HOWEVER, To be LIKEMINDED does not mean ALL share in the SAME working, calling or gifting.  Nor does it mean we will travel the same path in our journey toward the Kingdom of God.



We are a body comprised of DIVERSE gifts, callings and talents who are UNIFIED IN CHRIST expressing the work HE has done in us as HE works through each of us for the COMMON GOOD of the Body.



Unfortunately, LIKE-MINDED people like to gather together…..  and that is usually NOT A GOOD THING.



I think we should be HONEST here:



I propose that the MAIN REASON for these GATHERINGS is because:



It is “appealing to the flesh”.   We tend to gather with those of similar CALLING/GIFTING, with the end result being that because we are traveling the same road by the same means, there is little or no conflict with or fellow travelers.



HOWEVER there is a TEMPTATION to lift up that SUBSET’ of the BODY and to think of that small group as somehow ‘elite or special’.  Ultimately, the GIFT becomes the center of focus which “DEFINES the GOSPEL”: Making the GIFT more important than the GIVER, polluting the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST, and placing the GIFT above the BODY for WHOM it was given.



For example: The ‘Gathering’ of the NAR Prophets



Matt18: 1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Matt 18: 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.



Blessings in the NAME of the LORD.

A WORD from the LORD: OH LORD, GIVE ME DEATH!!!

I hope that you read the POST Prior to this one. 

A WORD FROM A BROTHER, THANK YOU BROTHER

I have given the WORD of that BROTHER,  a great deal of thought and meditation before the LORD over this season of rest.

I believe theWORD the brother shared with all of us is from the LORD.

So I spent some time before the LORD asking HOW does the BODY of CHRIST get there LORD?

MARK 16: 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
MARK 16: 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


Actually, more specifically I prayed

 " LORD, What must one do to LIVE in this PERFECT WILL of yours, to not only be called, but CHOOSEN?"

THIS is the answer the LORD GAVE ME:

HAVE YOU ASKED THIS QUESTION TOO?


 WHY LORD is the BODY Of  CHRIST SO POWERLESS?


HERE IS THE ANSWER THE LORD GAVE ME:

"ONLY THOSE that are WILLING to DIE (physically) for the testimony of JESUS CHRIST will be empowered to work in the SPIRIT, through the manifestations of the gifts.


Now I am going to be honest here. I  didn't particularly like that answer. It wasn't what I wanted to hear.

YOU mean IF I am not WILLING to die for the message of JESUS CHRIST, then I will not be able to stand in YOUR CALLING in the END?

And
That is why I am not working in the POWER Of the HOLY SPIRIT even now?

IN fact the WORDS were spoken with such a "MATTER OF FACT" attitude that it frightened me somewhat. TRUTH cuts to the BONE, and this CUT ME TO THE VERY BONE.

The LORD DOESN'T have to be NICE, HE is RIGHTEOUS, and that was THE RIGHTEOUS ANSWER.

BROTHERS and SISTER,  DON'T deceived yourselves any longer!!!!!

IF you are NOT WORKING in the POWER OF HIS SPIRIT, then it is TIME to get before the LORD and find out WHY.

WE HAVE NOT HUMBLED OURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD!!!

TWO ABSOLUTE TRUTHS:

1.  IT is absolutely TRUE that ONLY what a MAN TRULY BELIEVES will HE be WILLING to DIE FOR.

2.  IT is absolutely TRUE, that the HOLY SPIRIT will only EMPOWER what is OF TRUTH and OF THE FATHER.

NOW I know the TRUTH,  and I am broken, brought down and totally humbled before HIM.
and you can believe it or not. But so many, like myself, wonder why they are not working in the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, the TRUTH is:

WE have NOT NOT NOT determined in our HEARTS that they are willing and ready to DIE for the MESSAGE of the GOSPEL. 

You wonder WHY your sharing, like me,  of TRUTH is not empowered?

Why isn't  it pricking the hearts of others.

HERE IS THE SIMPLE ANSWER IT IS NOT EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE WORD of the LORD is ONLY EMPOWERED by the HOLY SPIRIT. WITHOUT our  TOTAL SURRENDER to the HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT will not empower the WORDS from our lips.

We have deceived our own hearts into believing that what we say with our lips will be TRUE in our actions. But the absolute TRUTH is many are called but FEW will be CHOOSEN for this END TIME CALLING.

As my BROTHER shared, many will chose family, friends, and be too busy with LIFE to be willing to GIVE THEIR LIFE for the TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST, or risk anything for the BODY of CHRIST.



CONCLUSION:

The ANSWER the LORD gave me has CUT ME TO THE VERY BONE. I am BROKEN and all  I want to do now is spend my time finding that PLACE of SURRENDER.  FOR without it, I will not be the SERVANT I DESIRE to be for HIM.

As much as I would like to continue the TALK on this BLOG. I refuse to TALK to just TALK, I NEED THE LORD, for without HIM in it, I am a USELESS VESSEL of WORDS.

I reconize fully NOW that SOMETHING within me has NOT surrendered to HIS TRUTH.


PLEASE add me to your PRAYERS.. AMEN.



MAY the LORD have MERCY on me as a servant.

I am going to offer this one last EXAMINATION for us to take to the CROSS:

We will be tempted by satan as the LORD was tempted in the WILDERNESS, We will be TESTED and TRIED. WILL WE BE FOUND FAITHFUL?

1. What VOICE will we surrender to:

When our HUNGER is tried, When our PRIDE is TESTED, when we are offered the world?

We must be able to  answer these questions HONESTLY before the LORD, and NOW is the TIME to find what FOUNDATION our FAITH is upon:

WE will not be able to find a SPIRITUAL WARFARE through the FLESH, but only through the DEATH of our instinct to SURVIVE will be able to find a SPIRITUAL WARFARE.

WILL WE BE FOUND FAITHFUL? ENDURING TO THE END...


MATT 4: 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

What will your answer be when your HUNGER is TRIED, will we be willing to RESIST the enemy THROUGH SURRENDER to the SPIRIT?

Matt 4: 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone

What will your answer be then? How about our PRIDE, are we so overcome with pride we will TEST THE LORD?

Matt 4: 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me


What will your answer be then?? ARE we so caught up in our IDOLS that we will Surrender to the enemy for those things? Selling our blessing for a morsel of meat?

YOU and I can face this now, or we can wait and continue in the deception of our own lips.

For what a MAN/WOMAN believes in HIS HEART will be REVEALED....

ARE WE WILLING TO DIE, for the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST?

IT will ONLY BE THOSE that are WILLING to DIE, WHO develop a SURRENDERED LIFE for the TESTIMONY OF CHIRST, that will be EMPOWERED by the HOLY SPIRIT, to SURVIVE these TESTINGS, and be able to MINISTER TO PARTS of the BODY.

ONE LAST COMMENT:

BODY OF CHRIST,

Don't tell me you have FAITH, but let FAITH be revealed through ACTION.

THROUGH WORKS our FAITH IS REVEALED.

LET US  RISE UP to the HIGHER CALLING of GOD, RISE UP from our afflections, RISE up from our STRONG HOLDS.

LET us RISE up and BE what the LORD intended us to be.

AS the LIGHT, as MINISTERS etc.

WEEP, TRAVAIL, CRY OUT TO THE LORD:

LORD, TAKE ME TO YOUR MOUNTAIN!!!!


SHOW ME YOUR GLORY:

Sharing a Word from a Brother:

Word from The Lord -> Gathering of the Final Remnant
(WORD of CAUTION) there are Conterfit Remnant spirit of anti-christ (Beast)Groups -> "Dominion now"

N.A.R. "The New Apostlisic Reformation""manifest sons of god" Cults "BEWARE Please !

"YES There is a REAL Remnant A REAL Latter Rain, a real TWO Witnesses" Scriptural ->

1Th 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

1Jo 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Word from The Lord -> Gathering of the Final Remnant [/b]

We are well aware of the time we are in - all the world is watching, for surely we are at the end of this age. Even unbelievers are aware of great evil, but they cannot put their finger on it; they only know that our world is messed up and people seem desensitized.

This day, the sound of a trumpet was heard [audibly] by me. Being led to the story of Gideon once again, I began to wait upon the Lord to gain further insight.

The body of Christ [Jesus/Yshua] has been gathering for some time. The Lord has chosen the fires of each part, so that He could purge and purify, for He shall have a spotless Bride. The 'true' are shining forth, for as we all know, judgment has begun, and it began in the house of our Lord God [Yhvh].

1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall test every man's work of what sort it is.

Mat 7:16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:20 Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.

1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

We understand that with all that is coming, as we were forewarned, many will be martyred in the name of our King, and indeed, countless already have. The reward awaits. The whole creation groans and travails for the manifestation of the sons of God. [Yhvh / Jehovah]Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Rom 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

Rom 8:16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, so that we may be also glorified together.

Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

As children of the most High, we willingly go through the fires and go through the water, knowing our King and Saviour is with us. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony and love not our lives unto death.

Yet, for the coming great tribulation, there shall arise two witnesses... and there shall be a remnant that shall go forth to labour to bring forth the harvest, for multitudes, multitudes will be in the valley of decision.

The voices of the watchmen have been sounding for a long season and the Spirit of prophecy which is the testimony of Jesus /Yshua has been speaking forth similar messages as the Lord gave utterance... to repent in humility and seek God and prepare... prepare... prepare, watching and praying.

The body of Christ is as the army of Gideon, great and mighty men of valour, who fought battles and were willing. Yet, for a war that had to be fought, the Lord sought to bring the number of warriors down to a small number, so that no man could say that the victory was won by the arm of flesh nor by their might. A small number was selected so that only the Lord Himself would receive the glory.

There is much that can be said [and likely already has been] about the story of this man Gideon. Yet, today I audibly heard a trumpet and was led to the story of Gideon.

Jdg 6:34 But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

The sons of God are manifesting, [so also are the children of the devil] and the Lord has a work for each of His sons to do. [Ladies, let's not be politically correct here... we are children of the Most High God.] His perfect will WILL be done. Yet, there are some who are fearful and afraid of what is coming [great tribulation] and fail to seek the Lord in humility, with a broken and contrite heart. We have been told to abide... this means that apart from Him, we can do nothing; we must live and move and have our being in the True Vine, for we are the branches.] We have been warned to seek Him and press in like never before. We have been told to do justly, love mercy and truth, and to walk humbly with our God. We have been commanded to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and with all our souls and with all our being, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. We have been given fair warnings. Repent, repent, repent...

We cannot be fearful or afraid and yes, we MUST go through the fires... trusting and obeying. There will be those who are martyred but there will also be those who are protected in the days coming, to DO the greater works [that of our King, Saviour, Messiah] in the time fast approaching. For as the great evil is seen, and as the judgments come down, so shall great miracles and great works be manifest, so that all the world will know that there is only ONE God [Yhvh] and that ALL knees shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus / Yshua is KING of kings and LORD of lords...and the glory shall be HIS ALONE.

The fearful and afraid cannot stand up in this great battle. Their hearts are in matters of the home or their loved ones, or or or... A warrior cannot be entangled in the affairs of the world; their focus must be upon their duty and their mission. So a great dividing is occurring even amongst the sheep; amongst the mighty men of our King. It must be so. We are to fight the good fight and endure to the end. Yet, the number of the final remnant must be small, so that only our King and Creator receives the glory, and no arm of flesh.

Jdg 7:3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

We shall be tried and we shall be tested. O let us endure, o let us embrace that which He sends to purify and purge us, and to try and test us.

Jdg 7:4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will test them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto you, This one shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomsoever I say unto you, This one shall not go with you, the same shall not go.


Jdg 7:5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him shall you set by himself; likewise every one that bows down upon his knees to drink.

Jdg 7:6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand: and let all the other people go, every man unto his place.

Jdg 7:8 So the people took provisions in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

The whole point is this: when the Lord has something for people to do, we will be tested, we will be tried. Here Gideon had just had 22,000 Israelites go home, due to their fear. He was told by the Lord to 'Let them go and return home', if they were afraid. This left Gideon only 10,000 out of 32,000. Then he was told to divide the 10,000 again. He was to take them down to the river, where the Lord God Himself would test them. Those who knelt on one knee and drank the water [faces put in water], were put to one side. Those who crouched down, cupped their hands and lapped the water as dogs were put to another side. The latter were chosen for the battle; their number was 300 out of the 10,000

The time is soon upon us and in fact, it has begun. Hear and repent. Hear and seek the King. Step up to the river, and bow low in submission and humility. Drink of the living water and wait upon the Lord, for He will raise you up and choose His elect.

And the elect [globally] shall be divided into companies, to go where He directs [globally]. The King is Lord over the armies, for the battle is His.

Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.

Jdg 7:17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall you do.

Jdg 7:18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow you the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

Jdg 7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

Jdg 7:21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

1Sa 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.

Consider... a trumpet [warning] sounds. The 'brokenness' of the pitcher allowed the 'light' inside to shine. A broken vessel shines forth the light.
The trumpet has sounded... the war is on. Now is the time, for time is nearly up... Now what shall you do when you hear?

Seek the Lord humbly with repentance. Cry out to Him, wait on Him. He
will answer you in due time. His timing is always perfect. WAIT upon the Lord. It is near midnight.

MIDNIGHT - has always seemed, to me, to be the time of the Lord's return... whether literally or symbolically, it matters not.

Mat 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye out to meet him.

Mar 13:32 But of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. [words of Jesus Christ, Yeshua]

The most thought provoking thing about midnight [to me anyways], is at the EXACT strike of MIDNIGHT, in that millisecond... at precisely midnight, it is neither NIGHT or DAY, nor is it YESTERDAY or TODAY, it is neither PAST or FUTURE... for at that millisecond, time as we understand it, is suspended in eternity!

This is just one of my personal understandings that the Lord knows about me. Whether I am wrong or right, it is of no consequence; it is merely MY understanding of the strike of MIDNIGHT... that eternal millisecond. In that millisecond, it is as eternity... eternity... uncomprehended, undeniable!

For have you not prayed for truth? Have you not prayed for protection, wisdom, and understanding? He promised to guide you... But there's a cost. If there's any THING or any ONE standing in the way of your surrender, or standing between you and your Lord, ... it had best be put to death. Complete surrender. Get to that point of brokenness, humbling yourself before the mighty Lord God and He will lift you up. Above all, make sure no root of bitterness resides in you. Forgive any that you have anything against; this includes yourself.

A remnant is being chosen for the days that are soon here. There simply is NO time left.

Joh 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

2Ch 34:27 Because your heart was tender, and you did humble yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled yourself before me, and did tear your clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard you also, says the LORD.

Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. [Yshua HaMashiach]

Read and ponder. Take all to our King. Believe me not, but take it to the most High King and Creator, for we have been warned...

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Only the Lord is God [Yhvh, Yah] [our Lord has so many names, and in Revelation it declares that He will have a name written upon Him that NO MAN knows but He Himself, so let us not get caught up in ridiculous arguments over His 'proper' name. It is a waste of time. The Great Spirit, our Creator and Father knows when we call out to Him] ... only HE speaks through His people. Only HE will guide you into all truth. Only HE shall glory through His precious Lamb, Jesus the Christ [Yshua the Messiah]...

NO FLESH shall glory

Dan 2:29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.

Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets.

The Lord God promised that in the last days He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, and sons and daughters would prophesy; old men would dream dreams; young men would have visions... and so it is these days.
Let us seek Him. Let us WAIT upon the Lord. Let us trust and obey. No matter what, we can rejoice.

Joh 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

We can wholly trust our Creator, and our King, our Messiah...

Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.

MANY ARE CALLED ... FEW ARE CHOSEN ...
Many will come when called, but only the chosen have laid it all down ...

FINAL thought...
The true followers of Jesus/ Yshua are the remnant, the mighty ones, the BODY of Christ ... His Bride. Beware of those who cry Peace Peace when there is no peace.

We know that many shall be martyred for Christ. [Rev 20:4] Countless have been throughout history and countless more will be, for the word of God is TRUTH and SPIRIT. Our Creator CANNOT lie for He is TRUTH.

And amongst the people of the Lord God, we do not know who will survive the great tribulation and who will make it through. ONLY the Lord God HIMSELF knows... We shall not concern ourselves with he who can kill the body, but be more concerned with He who can kill both the body and the soul.

He tells us to seek Him. He tells us to turn to Him with a broken and contrite heart, repenting and crying out to Him. He tells us the way to walk, to keep His commandments, to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

In these dark days, there is NO time to play, NO time to compromise, NO time to be complacent, not with the world nor with God. We ARE to choose wisely and to make our election sure. We chose the Lord, now He shall choose.

Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

There is only ONE true living Almighty and Holy Lord God. He alone is Sovereign. All we can do is trust Him and obey Him in all things. He will lead us into all truth and guide our steps along that narrow road.

We must allow Him to purify and purge us through the fires of His choosing, as we go through our trials and personal tribulations. Yet as the great tribulation is soon upon us, we must seek Him and abide, obeying all things He tells us to do, both in His word and to us individually as His people, as His children. Let us constantly keep a repentant heart and let us always trust Him no matter what the circumstances and let us listen to Him and obey willingly and gladly!

We must listen to the warnings and the sounds of the trumpets. His judgment has begun, not only in His own house [for judgment BEGINS [and began some time ago] in His house] but also the judgment has begun upon all the wicked nations of the earth. O that we will see and hear! Let us DO! We cannot just talk about the Lord, whilst one hand is on the world... NO MORE LIP SERVICE - DO HEART SERVICE. Our fruit comes from the Vine [Yshua/Jesus] and the Holy Spirit OR the fruit will not be evident at all. Absolutely if you dress and talk and rock just like the rest of the world, showing no discipline or faithful obedience, don't expect to be in the final remnant. There is a cost. Undefiled by the world or harlot of Babylon...This is not rocket science. Even a child can understand.

Please hear me on this. We must seek and abide. Pray constantly. Be sober. Be vigilant. Trust and obey. There is no room for competition and petty jealousies, no time for games: compromise and complacency is out of the question. The Father promised to pour out His Spirit on His sons and daughters in the last days and they would prophecy. He told us to be watchmen. This means dedication. This means responsibility. This means accountability. This means trusting in the Lord God and not the arm of flesh. This means serious choices. This means we war and it means we wrestle.

2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh:

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.

Eph 6:13 Therefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Yes, the Lord will have a remnant that goes through the great tribulation. I believe they will be protected and the Father has chosen places of refuge globally. Whether we stay or whether we go will be what Father tells us. But we must hear Him, we must press in and abide to receive our orders, for He will guide us as we trust and obey Him. He knows all things, including the plans for our lives. We must lay down our lives, surrendering to Him. We pray that we may be considered worthy to escape all these things that are coming, but we must let go of the world, for we are not of this world. The remnant that will go through the tribulation will be those He chooses. He knows our hearts, He knows what we are capable of, He made us. Who will be martyred? NO ONE knows, but the Lord God Himself. NO ONE.

Our whole purpose here is to come into right standing [through repentance and submission] with the Creator, through Christ the Messiah, and to warn others to do the same, for our redemption draws nigh. There is only ONE way back to our Creator and that is through His Son who gave His life and spilled His blood, as the Lamb of God, for the forgiveness of sins.

As Jesus, there is a mission... we must lay down our lives. We walk by faith and not by sight. If we walk by sight, we will fear for our flesh's natural instinct is to survive, yet if we walk by faith, we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb ... we will not love our love unto death... May our Lord help us and strengthen us, for our good but for His glory. Selah

Isa 61:1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Isa 61:3 To provide for them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED.

For this our Messiah Jesus the Christ laid down His life. We must be willing to also... no matter what.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.

So, either we trust the Lord or we do not. Either we seek Him and constantly pray [communicate] with Him, crying out, abiding in Him or we do not. Either we believe He will guide us and lead us or we do not. We either forget the things of this world, coming out of 'Babylon' [and apostasy] and separating ourselves, or we do not. Either we put the Lord God first above all things, or we do not.

FEW will lay it ALL down, repenting and seeking God, crying out and willingly obey His commandments and all He speaks, for the Lord Jesus warned us that these days are as the days of Noah [no one listened to those who spoke warnings or believed what they were seeing, no one turned to God but Noah and seven others] and as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah [gross sin and depravity].

I do believe that those who do repent, abide and obey will be instructed and protected by the Lord. These will go forth doing the greater works that Jesus / Yshua spoke of. It will be ALL for the glory of God. Their heart and service is to the King of kings and Lord of lords, knowing the battle is His, and so is the VICTORY.

In Gideon's army, all of them were mighty men of valour, all warriors, all followers of the Most High - yet the Lord instructed all the fearful and afraid to return home. Why? Because fear is the opposite of faith. Unbelief is the opposite of trust.

So it is even now. Many of His children are walking in fear and unbelief. I know I have... and why? Because there was some 'area' or 'situation' that I could not or did not trust Him in. There was unbelief and there was fear, for it was not 'surrendered' to Him or that part of 'self' was not put to death. Is the Lord our God Sovereign? Is He just? Is He love and truth and righteous? Yes~! All this and more... more than any words can possibly describe and more than our finite minds can comprehend.

I have repented of this. We must trust Him and praise Him in ALL things. He is well able to look after ALL that concerns His people. He IS Sovereign - fully in control of all things. He knows what's best for us; He knows what is not best. Sometimes when something ends [God allows] we fight it, we say, No we want that... God is God, His will be done. I have made mistakes as part of learning, but He who sees the heart and hears the cries of repentance, forgives and heals. He will chastise us when we err and we should rejoice in His love when He does so. He calls us into the obedience of faith. Then we walk in the discipline of obedience, for like Christ Jesus, we learn obedience through that which we suffer. Go thru, go thru

Rom 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

We accept the fires of HIS choosing, so that we may be purified and purged; so that we may learn obedience and be holy as He is holy.

Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh [Jesus/Yshua], when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

We must be willing to go to our own Garden of Gethsemane and cry out as our Lord Jesus /Yshua did. Let us love not our life unto death, and trust our future in the hands of our Father [Abba], just as His Son, our King and Lord did. FEW have the patience to endure discipline or strength to obey. We learn obedience just as Jesus [Yshua] did... through the things we suffer.

The warnings have sounded for some time to prepare and again, it is said, Prepare. Prepare spiritually, prepare as the Lord leads. Without Him, we can do nothing. Without the Head, the Body cannot live. Abide in the Vine, ye branches. The Bride longs for the coming of the Bridegroom...

Let us prepare to be protected and to do the greater works. Yet remember, there is a cost. We have heard that there is a separating, a dividing going on in these days, and it is true. Indeed the wheat and the tares, the clean and the unclean, the precious from the vile, the holy from the unholy are being separated. We will grieve and our heart will long to bring in the lost, and the captive, and cry out... Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand... for in the Lord, we live and move and have our being. We are to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with the Lord our God.

[We should already be prepared but some have procrastinated. There is NO more time. Please hear this. Choose now; choose wisely.]

key words = repent, do, love mercy, walk humbly

Heed the warnings of God's watchmen. Keep the commandments of the Most High and walk in His ways. By the blood of the Lamb [our Messiah] and by the word of our testimony, we overcome. Trust and obey - it's the only way, truly. Keep a repentant heart.

Our lives are in His hands. Drink of the living water [His word], write it upon the tablets of your heart and speak it forth. Waste it not. Submit yourself humbly to the King, trusting in Him and in due time, He shall lift you up. He does try our heart and test us. He has every right to.

We know all that we are to do. Let us do it. There is simply no more time to waste. He will have His remnant. He has ALWAYS had a remnant and He has always had His elect. We are His. His will WILL be done.

Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer serve sin.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Psa 37:3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed.
Psa 37:4 Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psa 37:5 Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Psa 37:6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Psa 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

Deu 13:4 You shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Joh 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

We KNOW what is coming for He has shown us. Consider the cost, for we are not greater than our Master, our King and Lord Jesus / Yshua. Prepare now. The great tribulation is soon upon us. There will be a final remnant...
as in the days of Noah.

He told us plainly...

Deu 14:2 For you are a holy people unto the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

1Pe 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
1Pe 2:10 Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Key words = chosen, holy, His own, praises, mercy

Allow me to encapsulate this once more...


Anyways, at this time, I feel it is a time of transition. The Father is calling us to separate ourselves to press into Him,
so that we may be instructed and strengthened in the very near, darkened days to come. I truly believe it is also a season
of healing, restoration and deliverance. I believe that globally the Bride [Body] of Christ is gathering, but also I feel that
a remnant is being separated to go thru the great tribulation. Not all of the Bride will survive the coming tribulation, as
the word of God [Yhvh] clearly indicates. The 2 witnesses could be corporate and if that is so, then remember, they
lay on the ground dead for 2 days, while the world rejoiced, but on the 3rd they were risen up alive again. There is also the 144,000.

We are to follow what He tells us personally in our lives. He has always had His spokespersons. But it is always up to the
people if they want to listen to the voices of the true followers of the Lord God, [Yhvh, Jah, Jehovah] or not. Always has been that way, always will be.

I believe that NOTHING is impossible with Lord God - NOTHING. Through Christ Jesus [Yshua the Messiah], amazing miracles
will be and are beginning to take place, just as in the days of old. The Lord said we would do greater works because He
goes to the Father, yet we do not see this. Why? Why not? The Lord our God has not changed, so the problem must be with us.

All the religion, all the corruption, all the work of the enemy has hindered miracles... great unbelief, but just as the apostles in the days of Christ, and just as the prophets of old, so shall these greater works will begin again. It is the end of this age, and as written in the word, as the sons of God are manifesting so are the children of the devil.

The time of miracles as in the days of old is beginning. It will not be as the apostate nor as the signs and wonders that of the counterfeiter; but it will be as those who KNOW the power of their God and be a pure vessel for Him to work through... as His apostles, as His prophets of old. It will lead the people to repentance, set the captives free, heal the sick, restore the years the locusts ate... just as then so shall it be in the coming days. The Lord ALONE will be glorified.

We who keep a repentant heart in all humility and obey, are those who have been chosen for such a time as this. When we read the word of God, things are always
confirmed that we have heard or known to be from Him. The Lord always confirms, He speaks, once, yea twice but men
perceive it not. Gideons army,the prophets of old, the apostles, the 144,000, the 2 witnesses... the Lord our God has always
had a remnant... always He has had a remnant amongst His people. Read the word and let Him quicken it in your spirit.

Those who have pulled away or separated from religion,[NO religion or religious spirits allowed]., those who have gone thru fires
[of His choosing] and the waters,
those who have truly given up all [died to self], [repented of all] those who do not fear or doubt, those who love as He loves[not selfish
and demanding, not a tyrannt walking in pride and arrogance, but those walking in the humility as Christ], love mercy and
justice, and walk humbly with their God...such as THESE will be the ones who will go forth in these last days, walking in the power of the
Almighty God to the glory of Christ. The final battle, the end of the age is soon upon us. Why have we seldom seen the
power of God [countless generations now], why have we not seen the miracles, why are we not walking as the prophets of old and the
apostles, why, why, why? The Israelites were in bondage for hundreds upon hundreds of years, before the Lord delivered
them. Then afterwards, countless hardened their hearts and turned away from God. Look at this world now.

The number of true believers is dwindling, as New Age and the occult arises in great power. Yes, we are not unaware of the adversary's power nor his wicked devices, but truly greater is Christ Jesus [Yshua] in us, than he [satan, Lucifer] that is in the world.

We can trust the Lord, whose desire is that none should perish, but we know that countless will perish in the lake of fire, for it is written. Let us pray our name is not blotted out of the Book of Life... [Ps 69:28; Rev 3:5; Rev 20:15] May God be glorified, through Christ the Messiah, our Jesus. [Yshua]

I believe this...with my whole heart. There is great tribulation soon upon us but also greater works will be soon seen also. I believe
that the true sons of God are manifesting, and that a great separating is happening. Not just wheat and tares, precious
from vile, clean from unclean, holy from unholy but also sheep from sheep because some sheep have so much doubt and
fear, and compromise, that the Father , thru Christ cannot move through them to do the greater works. But the Lord God WILL have His way.

We MUST keep repentant hearts, and daily die to self, and in ALL that He asks us to do personally, we must do. Some, it seems, do
not hear Him, and to those I say, cry out to Him, for in His word, it says He speaks with a still small voice. His word says that His sheep
KNOW His voice and another they will not follow. Hear His voice in the written word and upon the lips of true believers and followers, for
our Lord God is Spirit and He is truth, and the day is upon us that we who worship Him shall worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Listen within
your spirit man.... and you will hear Him, and all that He speaks honours His word.

Let us be worthy of this high calling... let us consider the cost. Again I say, there shall be a final remnant... as in the days of Noah.

In Noah's day, a 'remnant' of 8 stayed alive in the ark. [1Pet 3:20]

In Gideon's day, a 'remnant' of 300 Israelites had the final victory. [Judg 7:7]

In Isaiah's day, a 'remnant of Jacob' [Is 1:9; Is 10:21]


Remember the 10 virgins... ALL were waiting for the Bridegroom. [Mat 25: 1-4] Only 5 made themselves and were prepared. A remnant of the remnant...

Now is the Bride of Christ preparing... the Body of Christ...The sealing of God's true 'sons' has begun... Do not refuse the cross~!!! [your own personal cross]
Now the remnant is being chosen and preparing...

O people, please hear and choose wisely!!

The King will not be long in His returning!~~ The remnant will be from every country, every nation, every people, every tribe, every clan globally. His people are scattered around the world. They are NOT just in one nation, but they are scattered globally. The remnant are mighty ones - mighty ones who have overcome. The Lord is going to divide them into companies, just as He did Gideon's armies. All is in His hands. The remnant will move in the power of the most Holy God. They will do the greater works; things will take place than people cannot even imagine. Soon people - soon great trouble [tribulation] is upon the world, yet also the greater works that Jesus/Yshua promises.
The final remnant is being gathered. They will be divided into companies. They will be global and the Father will have places of refuge for them. Turn your heart back to the Creator, the Lord God [Yhvh], and through Christ Jesus [Yshua], He will hear you, forgive you and heal you. The sons of God are manifesting and so are the sons of the devil. Yet know, that we were born as such a time as this. Let us be about our Father's business, and have the compassion and boldness of Christ in our hearts and in our actions. Precious is the blood of the Lamb slain.

1Co 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

1Co 1:27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:

1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

A word of CAUTION -

The enemy of our souls has his own government; his own armies; his own 'remnant'. He counterfeits EVERYTHING of our Lord and King; however, he is NOT all-powerful, or all-knowing, or omni-present. He has 'watchers [unholy watchers] that report back to him. He is powerful, for if he was not, he would not have his legions or those who worship him, HOWEVER, our Creator, King, Saviour, Messiah is GREATER and ALREADY HAS the victory. Yes, it is a battle, in fact, it is a full-blown war, but the end result is victory for our King and Lord, Jesus our Messiah who conquered all upon the cross and when He rose again. Glory to our King and Saviour, the Christ our Messiah.

Do not believe everyone who says they are 'born-again', for Luciferians, satanists, new agers etc., all claim that they are born again. Satan [Lucifer] has mimicked the language of the followers. Why do you think our Lord tells us constantly to test the spirit to see if it is of Him or not; and that we will know them by their fruits. [sometimes this takes time, always take ALL things to our Father and Lord]

Perhaps you doubt that satan [Lucifer] has a remnant. Then, let the Word of our Lord persuade you...

Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And THE REMNANT took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and SLEW them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And again when the true King and Lord returns, with a sharp sword in His mouth, He will slay the beast and the false prophet and their 'remnant' of evil doers...

Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

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.

Rev 19:21 And THE REMNANT were slain with the sword of HIM that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeds out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh

So, dear brethern, let the Lord our Messiah and King [the Great Spirit] guide you. Get His word written upon your heart. He will guide you into all truth when you seek Him constantly, trust and obey Him.

Mic 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

These are the days that all generations before us expected to be part of. Only now, the prophecies are quickly unfolding right before our very eyes. This is the end of this age. Let us unite as the true Bride [the True Body of Christ] and do all our King and Lord bids us to do. Seek Him constantly, pray without ceasing, keep a repentant heart and be obedient. He is a good God and His mercies endure forever. Yet, He is just and judges righteously. NOW is the time of that judgment. Woe to those who do not serve Him willingly and obediently...
Blessed are those who are His, yet remember, no flesh shall glory...
