It is written
in Luke 10:5-6, saying, “And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this
house. And if the Son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.” My Lord, fill us with that Peace whereby we
may extend that Peace in Truth! And now,
I say unto you, “I bid you
peace! Peace be
unto you from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ!” Amen!
Understand what I just did to you! I am sent to offer you the Peace agreement
from God! The Lord Jesus commanded that
when we come unto people, to bid them our Peace. To bid is to offer! I offer you this Word from the Lord! This is the Peace Offering! God has set before you this day: Peace, or
War! Whosoever rejects this Word; God
has seen him choosing War with Him!
Understand what it is that you have just done!
“Keep silence
before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them
come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.”
“Arise, shine; for your
Light is come, and the Glory of the LORD is risen upon
you.”
It is written whereby the Lord Jesus Christ
said in Matthew 23:39, “For I say unto you, You shall not see Me
henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord.” A man of God needs to be able to hear what the
Messenger Angel is saying; and, people need to be able to pay attention to what
the man of God is saying; so, God has given us an Angel Who will fight against
the evil that tries to prevent us from hearing, so that we can hear. Because God has given this War Angel for this
purpose, and has commanded us to Bless
those whom He authorizes to come unto us; we are given to say, Blessed are You,
O Lord Michael, the Arch Angel of War, Whom the Lord our God has authorized and
assigned to fight against all of those who rise up to resist us to try to keep
us from doing the Will of God, and from walking in His Ways! Arise: and,
fight! Amen!
Blessed are You, O Lord Gabriel, the
Messenger Angel, Whom the Lord sends unto His servants, the preachers, with the
Reports! Give us the Reports! Give us skills; and, cause us to understand, in
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
Blessed are all of
You Heavenly Host, Whom the Lord sends for various purposes for our good! The Will of God be
done with us, and in us! Be it done unto
me, even as the Lord has commanded, I pray Thee! Amen!
And now, the Lord is saying unto all of you,
“Give ear, all of you; and, listen attentively for the Words of the Lord coming
forth by the way I have said they will come unto you! It is written in Isaiah 42:23, that the Lord
said,
“Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to
come?” Pay attention to all of this Report!
It is written in Ezekiel 2:5, saying, “And they, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know
that there has been a prophet among them.” Before these Reports are
distributed, they are read aloud! The
Word of God is Spirit, and it is Life!
By the Words being spoken out of the mouth, the Spirit is sent forth
into all of the world to prepare the way, before the
physical Reports go forth. My Lord, I
ask that You would open my mouth, and cause these
Words to be broadcast in the Spirit, and by the Spirit! Cause these Words be
able to go forth, so that the attention of the people can be drawn, I pray
Thee. My Lord, Your Power is above
all! No one can come, except You, the Almighty, draw them! For it is written in Psalm 19:4-6, saying,
“Their line is gone out through all the earth, and
their Words to the end of the world. In them has He set a tabernacle for the
sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of His chamber, and rejoices as a
strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the
heaven, and His circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the
heat thereof.”
Because the
Lord is sending out the Word in the Spirit, and by the Spirit, there are some
people who will start to seek me, and shall find me; but, what will be their
thoughts when they shall see me? What manner of voice are
you expecting to hear? What manner of
man are you expecting to see? And, the Lord said unto the people in Matthew 11:7-10,
saying, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed
shaken with the wind? But what
went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment (fine and
fashionable)? Behold, they that wear
soft (fine and fashionable) clothing are in kings’ houses. But what went you out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say
unto you, and more than a prophet. For
this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” This Report is the pointing out the Way
before your faces! Jesus is being made
clear to all through these Reports! Even
though Isaiah 53:2-3 is attributed to the Lord Jesus Christ; it is also true
about those whom He will send. In Isaiah 53:2-3, the Lord describes how His anointed
preachers will come up, saying, "For he shall grow up before Him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground, which means he is not taught
by any man, nor system of man, because there is nothing present among men that
can nourish him! The Lord also said that
these preachers will not be following any set and established patterns as you
see among denominations in these days, saying, “He has no
form nor comeliness!” He went on to say, concerning what kind of
thoughts would be in people about those whom He has anointed, and brought up,
saying, “And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him. He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (He is not counted among those who are
accepted as preachers.)" These are the kinds of reactions people will
have towards a truly anointed preacher!
The servant is not greater than his Master; therefore, so as the
thoughts were about the Lord Jesus, so shall they be about those whom He has
ordained and sent! “Whatsoever you do
unto the least of these, My brethren, you have done
unto Me, saith the Lord!” Amen!
"Who Will Believe And Obey Everything The Lord Says?"
Will you
do what the Lord said to do? The Lord
did say in Isaiah 58:1, saying, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a
trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and
the house of Jacob their sins.” That is
a commandment! That is exactly the way
He wants it done! Who will obey
Him? It is written whereby the Lord said that He would
bring everyone into situations, after they are baptized, to prove whether they
will obey Him, and keep His covenant, or not!
It is written in Exodus 16:4,
saying, “Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain Bread from Heaven
for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that
I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or not." Face up to the truth; your salvation does hinge
on your strict obedience to do whatsoever the Lord has commanded. Amen!
The Word
did command everyone in Proverbs 3:5, saying, “Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; and
lean not unto your own understanding.” Obey the Word! People are still leaning to their own
understanding about things, which God has done, even though He has said for
them not to do this! But, true
understanding comes from the Lord through those whom He has chosen and
ordained. This was also pointed out in Exodus 16:15,
whereby it is written, that the Lord had rained Bread from Heaven, “And when
the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It
is manna: because they could not figure out what it was. So, Moses said unto them, This
is the Bread, which the LORD has given you to eat." Amen!
Every
house should become a place where people can come to pick up these Reports on a
daily basis, if you will do with these Reports as the Lord is commanding to be
done with them.
"You Are Now Being Proved!"
Now, I Say Unto You, "This Is The Bread, Which The LORD
Has Given You To Eat."
Everyone
shall say, "Blessed are You, O Lord God, Who has provided us with this
Bread; and, Blessed is this Bread, which You have
provided for us through Jesus Christ our Lord." Amen!
Exodus 9:13: And the LORD
said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and
say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, “Let My people go, that
they may serve Me.”
To stand before Pharaoh means
you must speak as looking the devil in the face, and speak directly and firmly
to him! It is written in Matthew 15:24, saying,
“But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.” I am given to realize that many who are supposed to be
laborers are being held bound by the darkness through various means! My focus shall be on setting the laborers
free at this time! And the Angel of the
Lord said unto me, No one can move as long as the darkness holds power over them! So, I said, Open my mouth, O Lord; and, cause
the Words to be spoken! “Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the
people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us
come near together to judgment.”
Amen!
Therefore,
a command against the darkness is sent forth, commanding them not to hinder the
people from coming! Amen!
What
is considered as islands? Islands are
small bodies of land that are not joined together, being separated by
water. People are preventing other
people from being joined with the Truth!
This is the cause of the condition of division and strife. People are standing as islands, preventing,
and being prevented from being joined together! Congregations and denominations are also
looked upon as being islands, because there is a separation, and a preventing
of the people from hearing the Truth.
Before there can be a joining, a silence must take place. Then, the drawing must come. The people will be allowed to speak; and, by
speaking, we see what they believe. When
they come near together, we will be able to judge their beliefs. By receiving corrections, they will be
receiving their strength. The Lord God
will cause everyone to examine everything that they are
believing. Amen!
In Revelation 1:19, it is written,
saying, “Write the things, which you have seen, and the things, which
are, and the things, which shall be hereafter!”
Amen!
So, I
said, “Cause me to write even as You have commanded,
my Lord! What are the things, which I
have seen, and the things, which are, and the things, which shall be
hereafter?” Amen!
Everyone
should pray, saying, “O Heavenly Father, show me what kind of person I am; and,
give me the ability to accept what You show me: but,
let me not be satisfied with anything that is not good! I will stay aware, and will listen
attentively for what the Lord will say unto me, and will pay attention to my
attitude when I am corrected. O Lord,
let me not get out of the way!” Amen!
At this time, you must have the right desire, which the Lord
requires of you, for His Word. In 1st
Peter 2:2-3,
it is written, saying, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby, if so be you have tasted
that the Lord is gracious.” Such as this
Report! If you have tasted it, and find
that it is good, you will start to desire more; and, because you will desire
more: more will come to you. You shall
find more of them, is what the Lord is saying!
That is how you found out that the Lord is gracious! The Lord also said in Matthew 5:6, saying,
“Blessed are they, which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they
shall be filled.” Ask for that kind of desire to be established in you! Without this kind of desire, you will not be desiring the Word as you should be. You will always treat it with a casual
attitude; and, this will lead to your destruction. Amen!
The Lord shall supply us with all that we
need! Because we needed the Spirit, the
Lord supplied it; because He is the Resurrection, and the Life. We cannot do anything without Him! Therefore, I say, Blessed
are You, O Spirit of the Resurrection, and the Life, which comes unto us from
the Lord Jesus Christ, to cause the resurrection of the dead, and to give Life.
On this day, 05-30-2004, which is on a
Sunday, the 1st day of the week, the Lord commanded me to select
this chapter for Him to work with. As
the Lord commanded, I opened up this chapter.
At this time there are 477 written chapters, and 129 recorded Messages,
which are on CD's. Let that which You want to bring forth come unto me, O Lord, I pray
Thee. The work is Yours;
and, You know what we need at this time.
Amen!
“Bless Everyone, Angels And Children of God, Who Come
Unto You As Authorized By Jesus Christ!”
I have heard
people say, “I use to be a Christian!” I
said, “You were never a Christian, because Christianity had vanished from the
earth; and, is just now beginning to re-appear in the world!” Truly, the Light in its Glory had gone from
among men; and, only a glimmer of the Light appeared in the remnant. But, even the remnant was not in the fullness
of His Glory! The truth of this demise
of Christianity is shown in the fact that God said in Isaiah 60, that an
awakening would come, because the whole world was covered with darkness; and,
that this darkness was deep within the people.
This can be seen clearly by looking at the many different denominations
in the world that is being called Christianity.
We are also given to compare what we saw in the early Church with what
we see going on in what is being called the Church in these days; and, we will
see that this thing in these days does not look anything like that which was of
old. The early church, in the days of
the Apostles, appeared in His Glory, with the one Mind and one Spirit. No affairs of the government were preached in
the Church. And, the Lord will come to
cast out all of those things which were added into what is being called His
Body, as He did in the time that He went into that temple. It was pointed out that the focus of the
people in that temple was on money, and material gain, even as it is seen being
the case in these days. Prosperity is
the central theme of preaching in these days.
The people's attention is being pointed to things that will perish, more
than the important need to have the heart cleansed of all darkness. They are made to live with acceptance of evil
still remaining in them. They are not
showing any zeal about overcoming things that have been with them for a long
time. But, the Lord will return for a people that is Holy, having no spot, wrinkle, nor
blemish! These are the washed of the
Lord! But, He did proclaim that the
Glory of the Lord would once again be seen upon people, because He would again
pour out His Spirit into the world. Amen!
Blessed are
You, O Lord God, who has promised! We do
look for that promise! It will happen
even as You have said.
We will again see the Glory of the Lord rising upon people; and, the
people will again be seen as one people; and the True Church shall be One
Church. And, God shall be our God in our
midst. Amen!
People are speaking
as speaking directly with the Lord; but, this is not the truth. We are dealing with His Angels in this
world. He has given His Angels charge
over us; and They deal with us in every purpose. From the time that the Lord ascended unto
God, men had to deal with the Angels!
There were two Angels standing with the Apostles, who told them to go
wait for the Lord's Promise as He had commanded them to do. Acts 1:10-11:
“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, You
men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which
is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen
Him go into heaven.” Amen!
Blessed are You, O Lord Michael, the Arch
Angel of War! Arise; and fight! Amen!
Blessed are You, O Lord Gabriel, the
Messenger Angel, Whom the Lord sends unto His servants with the Reports! Give us the Reports! Give us skills; and,
cause us to understand, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
Blessed are You, O Lord God of my
Peace! Cause us to be still; and, be
Thou multiplied unto all! Amen!
Blessed and Holy
are You, O Lord our God! Amen!
(“This Is Given To You To Get You Accustomed To How A
True Preacher Might Look!”)
Now the mind must become established with
the Truth ruling in it. That is why the
Lord gave us a prayer in Daniel 9 to pray, saying, “I ask that I might be
caused to understand Your Truth; and, that I might be turned from my
iniquities!” The truth is, you need to
have that Athenian Greek spirit removed from you, because that is a spirit that
causes you to always want something new, while not putting to use that which
you have already received. The knowledge
you receive goes to waste if you do not put it into practice. You find yourself always seeking something
new to speak about; and, you delight in hearing things that you have never
heard before. But, God see you only
speaking this knowledge to others in conversations. He wants to see you putting this knowledge
into practice. Ask God to remove such a
spirit from you when you recognize that this is what you do. You sit joyfully listening to new
understanding coming out of the preacher's mouth: but, you won't put those
things into practice. You delight in
communicating what you have heard to others.
That is one of the right things to do!
Yes, you should communicate it: but, you shall not leave out putting
what you have heard into practice. If
you don't put it into practice, you are guilty of ignoring the beam in your own
eyes, while trying to help someone else to see clearly. Apply these changes to yourself first; and,
then by your ways and your speech, you can help others to see clearly.
Who knows what is to come in the next few
days? Who knows whether he will be alive
or dead in the next few days? Who knows
if you will be in the place that you are in, in the next few days? This is the day that the Lord has made; and,
by giving ear to what He is saying in this day, He will have you prepared for
whatsoever will be, if you will be around in the next few days. He sees everything; and, He knows what is
going to be the case in all times of the future. And, He knows just how much future, if any,
is left for everyone, and for everything.
Men have prepared a savings for a time that is 20 years down the road:
but, they never reached that time period.
They forgot to make preparations for meeting God. They forgot that this is something that they
should have been considering daily, because they do not know the time when God
has set for them to come before Him in Judgment. God has made a Time Judgment about everybody
and everything in this world. He knows
time of the beginning, and the end of everything and of everybody. He knows how and when your house is going to
be destroyed. He knows how and when this
nation is going to be destroyed. He
always knew how long every person would be in this world.
“Listening
To The Oldies!”
It is
written in Luke 7:31-35, saying, “And the Lord said, Whereunto
then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to
what are they like? They are like unto
children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and you have not danced; we have
mourned to you, and you have not wept.
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread
nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a devil.
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold a
gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.”
I
saw in a dream last night that I had walked into a cafe on Gladys Street. A cafe is a place where people went to eat,
drink, and dance, and listen to the songs on the jukebox. Gladys Street appeared as it use to be back in the 50's and 60's. I sat at the counter in this cafe with my
wife. I saw a list of songs; but, one of
the names of the songs was not written out.
I saw only a series of numbers for each song. I was focusing on this particular
number. I selected that number; and, the
music came on. It was loud,
and sounding good. The song was “She Use
To Be Everything To Me, When She Was My Girl” by The
Four Tops! The sound stimulated the
excitement in the people. I noticed how
everybody became happier. I looked out
of the glass door where I had seen these twin young men, whom I had attended
school with, to see how they had started to move also, because the music could
be heard outside. When I went into the
cafe, they were just standing there talking.
When the music began to play, I noticed how they had started to dance
side by side with all of their steps and movements being synchronized, as in
the manner of the Motown groups of the 60's.
It was as if this was something that they had practiced. It was something that had been seen that they
had picked up. I also noticed how easy
it is to hear what words are being sung in the songs. And, the Lord is causing all of His Words to
come forth clearly, whereby everybody can understand what He means when He has
spoken a thing. Because all of His
people will have the same understanding, they will be as twins, which look alike, and their walk shall be alike! Amen!
Because I
did not know what song would play, because they were displayed by numbers only;
I see how this applies to how I am given the chapter number of the Report,
which the Lord wants me to work in, and send out. I don't know what is written in any of these
chapters: but, the Lord knows exactly what He had caused me to write in the
more than 470 chapters. Every chapter is
numbered in my files; and the Lord speaks the number that He has selected. When I open it up, I see what it is saying, just like I knew what the song was saying when it
began to play. Amen!
Thus saith
the Lord, Now you have this “No Drinking, No Dancing;
And No Smoking” belief; and, the Truth is preached to you: but, you will not
respond to what the Truth has said. You
are like a people who will not be moved when the music begin to play. The harmony and the synchronization with the
Truth must come. Is it in your heart to
care?
How many times have you seen a wife being
praised: but, her husband, the preacher, is not? How shall you be praising the Lord, while you
are looking down upon His servants? How
shall you show thankfulness to the Lord for what He did by giving you
preachers, if you are not showing appreciation for the preachers? Is he a needful help for you? How are you showing the Lord that you
appreciate Him making a true man of God available to you? Are you taking the counsel that the Lord
gives you by the mouth of this man? The
preacher is not yours to keep around so that you can have something of the Lord
near you, while you continue to do those things that are not pleasing to the
Lord. Before a preacher can remain in
their midst, the people must show themselves to be accepting the things that he
is preaching; and, changes must be seen by the Lord God; or, else, He will
withdraw that man from their midst.
Surely, the Lord is not seeing that the people believe that the preacher
is needful to them. The people will show
the Lord just how valuable the preacher is to them by turning from every evil
way that he has been caused to speak about.
And, then they will also show the Lord just how needful the preacher is
by supplying him with all that he needs for his livelihood. Because we see people going to church, as
they say; but, we don't see them walking according to the teaching of the Lord
Jesus Christ, we know that they are not seeing the true preachers of the Lord
for who they are. This also shows that
they have no interest in true salvation, because when the truth is offered to
them; they refuse it. And, those who
accept it, will not walk according to those things
that are spoken to them. They continue
on with those evil things, which they have been doing. Corrections do not matter to them; and, they
still delight in things that are contrary to God's approval. I am set here to show you the Truth: but, God
will not keep me in a place where the Truth is being rejected. Hearing what I am saying does not constitute
accepting the Truth: but, making changes according to what the Truth has said
constitutes accepting the Truth. When
you have heard Truth that you have never heard before; God does not expect you
to continue to go where you have been going: but, He expects you to continue to
come to where you heard the Truth. God
expects you to come to the place where you heard Truth that helped you to
grow. He expects you to be that one
leper that returned to the Lord after realizing who had given him the
instructions that healed him. Let the
waters be troubled, O Lord; and, send forth the Spirit to stir up things, I
pray Thee! Amen!
The Word of God in Ephesians 4 said that the
Lord Jesus counted His preachers as a gift to mankind. The Word said He gave gifts to men! Then, the Word went on to explain what these
gifts were. The preacher is a gift from
the Lord; and, what is being shown to Him about the gift that He gave? Jesus Christ, the Son of God, walked in the
world as a homeless man. Jesus Christ
was the Gift that God gave to man! A
preacher stands in the place of the Lord; and, he is the gift from the
Lord. What is shown to Jesus about the
gifts that He gave, is the same attitude that is being
shown to God about Jesus, the Gift that God gave. God tied all of this together like this, in
His Law, which He gave to the Lord Jesus Christ. God joined this together by saying,
“Whatsoever you have done unto the least of these My
brethren, you have done unto Me! If you
do not receive those whom I have sent, you do not receive Me,
saith the Lord!” He lived in a
condition, that one who lived in that condition in
these days, would be called a hobo. A
preacher holds the highest office in the world: but, are they looked upon in
that way? A preacher is not a person
that just talks: but, he is a person that has genuine caring about the
people. A preacher does not exalt
knowledge: but, he shows a concern about people getting things clear with God,
for their soul's sake. A preacher
doesn't mind what condition he has to live in to reach the people. A preacher is found in the likeness of the
lifestyle of Jesus Christ. This is what
the Lord is saying. A preacher's concern
is about finishing the work that he was sent to do. Surely the minds must be changed about a
person because of the way he is dressed.
Surely, this must become a great concern for everyone, because of the
way they are led into thinking about truly anointed preachers! Praise waits for You, O God! Praise will go to You
in deliverance of the people from under the power and influence of evil. To neglect a man in his needs,
is as wishing him dead! To deprive a man
of that which is given to him by God, is as counting
him as nothing! In this society, the
most valuable things are looked upon as worthless; and, that which does not
give life, is counted as most valuable. Men of low degree, in the sight of God, are
looked upon with great respect, while those who are exalted by God are looked
down upon. The positions of the world
are exalted more highly than those positions, which are ordained by God. If a man shall live as the lowest of people,
he will not be respected in his position as a man of God. The educated of the world are looking down
upon those who are educated by the Lord.
The education of the world is greatly exalted and desired above the
faith and the education by the Lord.
People look at a preacher not wearing a suit, and will not give him the
honor that he is rightfully due. So, the
Lord said in Ezekiel 7, that pride has budded.
Then again, He said that the children behave themselves proudly against
His anointed. The children are those who
are considered to be lower than those whom God has anointed. How does God think about what He is seeing
going on with people's attitudes towards those whom He sent for their
salvation? Surely, He is not pleased
with this: but, has anyone stopped to consider this? Why would God be pleased with those who
mistreat those whom He ordained and sent for the bringing forth of His
people? Surely, He shall send forth His
wrath against such people, even as the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 22, about those
who mistreated those servants whom He sent.
God has been long-suffering with people because of their mistreatment of
His anointed ones. The Lord said in the
Psalms, saying, “Have they no knowledge?
They eat up My people like they eat up
bread!” He is saying that they are not
considering what He is going to do!
Therefore, He said, “Have they no knowledge?” That means they are not thinking about what
He is going to do because of that which they do. That shows a lack of knowledge about the
Truth. Or, that shows a lack of belief
in God in Truth. Again, He said in the
Psalms that their tongues are as arrows shot out. They speak words out of their mouths like as
if a man would shoot out an arrow, or a bullet at a person. Their words are so harsh; and, the bitterness
in their hearts is so deeply rooted.
They feel no remorse after having shot out evil and bitter words at a
child of God! Did they not consider that
those are the words that they shot out at the Lord Jesus Christ, and at God
Himself? No! They feel so proud of themselves: but, that
is the pride that shall lead to their shame.
They talk about a preacher without any regard for what the Word said
about this is being counted to them as if they did that to the Lord. The valuable things of a preacher are found
on the inside of him. In comparison to
other people, his lifestyle and clothing are not considered as the best! Consider what an Apostle said about their lifestyle! These are men who held the highest office in
the world. In 1st Corinthians
4:9-13, the Apostle Paul wrote, saying, “For I think that God has set forth us
the Apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle
unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
(This is showing that the glory of these offices doesn't appear in this
world: and, that according to the way they looked, they would not be looked
upon as Kings and Priest, as they truly are.)
We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak,
but you are strong (This strength speaks about material goods, not Spiritual
strength.); you are honorable, but we are despised. Even unto this present hour we both hunger,
and thirst, and are naked (not having the best of clothing), and are buffeted,
and have no certain dwelling place; and labor, working
with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are as the
waste material of all things unto this day.”
Amen!
“Taking The Steps To Returning!”
(This Is For Those Of You Who Have Strayed Away From
The Lord!)
Now, you have heard the description of a
preacher! God has pointed them out to
you. But, you will have trouble with
those ideas and thoughts, which you have been accepting as preachers. You are going to wrestle with these thoughts,
because they have been with you for a long time; and, that way is very popular
in the world. Malachi 3:7-10: “Even from the days
of your fathers you are gone away from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them.
Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the
LORD of hosts. But you said, Wherein shall we
return? Will a man rob God? Yet you have
robbed me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings.
You are cursed with a curse, because you have robbed Me,
even this whole nation. Bring you all
the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove
Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.” (Is this speaking of
material blessings, or Spiritual blessings?
Surely it speaks of Spiritual blessings, by which you can gain all that
you need in this world! Now that you
realize that He is speaking about Spiritual blessings, are you still
interested? Your knowledge and
understanding will be increased; and, skills will come to you, because you
obeyed the Voice of the Lord.) You will
also learn, through this knowledge and understanding, how to keep what you have
gained, because the Lord said in verse 11, that He would rebuke the devourer
for your sakes. Amen!
Do you
honestly want to draw closer to God?
Through obedience, you are drawing nigh to God, and He is drawing nigh
to you! I want you to picture an infant child standing there before you, and
you are urging that child to take his first step! If that child gains the confidence, and obeys
you, he shall eventually get to you. You
are that child; and, the Word of the Lord is urging you to take your first step
to returning! So, here is a point that
everyone must attain unto. According to the Word of God from Malachi 3:18, He said, “Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous
and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.” That first discerning will concern yourself,
by examining yourself to see if you are truly serving God; or, are you serving
the devil and your own interests! He did
speak about returning to Him by bringing in all of your tithes and offerings
into His storehouse. Understand what God
means by “Storehouse!” He is speaking of
the man of God, in whom He has stored the Word.
The Word of the Lord is counted as Bread and food for man's soul. You shall live by every Word that proceeds
from the mouth of God. Out of the mouths
of babes and sucklings, He has ordained praise.
That is the Word of God coming out of the mouths of those who have
become as a little child before God.
Accepting what He has given, is counted as
being on your way to returning. Standing
in those things which He has said, is counted as a return to a way, but not in
all of His Ways. These are steps: and,
every step must be taken before you can reach where you are supposed to
be. The first step was to bring the
tithes! That is like standing before
your little child, urging that child to take his first step. With each step taken, that child will get to
where you are. God gave you your first
step to take. Amen!
Don't try to pray with those who don't believe in the
Lord as you do! Measure yourself by the statutes and Laws of
the Lord Jesus Christ! Find your
agreement with Him; and, don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. To be yoked means to consider yourself as
being joined with those who do not believe as you believe. This is a mistake that was found in King
Jehoshaphat, because he counted the people of King Ahab as being the same as
his people. Were their worship and
beliefs the same? No! Consider who King Ahab was; and, consider who
King Jehoshaphat was? How can this be
looked upon by God as having the same mind, and on one accord? Disagreements in your beliefs will not make
you to be one with another person, even as those who are in disagreement with
the Lord Jesus Christ, cannot be heard by God.
