109^th Day of the 28^th Year!

19^th Day of The 4^th month (Light)

3^rd Day of the week (Tuesday)

It is written in Jeremiah 18, whereby the Lord said, “Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.

Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.” Amen!

The Lord gives us Scriptures: but, we are not always in awareness of how these Scriptures will be applied to us! The potter judged his own work, and determined that what he was doing did not meet his standard of satisfaction; so, he did it again! Here is a man that gives his attention to quality! He pays attention to details! Whatsoever he does, he does it as if he is doing it for the Lord! What is the Lord showing you about your concern for quality, and preciseness?

It is written in 1^st Corinthians 11, saying, “Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?” And, then again, it is written, saying, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But, when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” Judge yourselves by your performance, and not by your imagination! How have you presented yourselves before a man of God, and then kneel down before God with the feeling that God is looking upon you with great sympathy? That is only your imaginary god! Judge yourselves according to the instructions which you have heard coming from the Lord, and see if you can realize the truth about how the Lord God feels about you. Let the wives know that their disrespect towards their own husbands did not give them favor in the Sight of God. The Lord said that any woman who prays or preaches with disrespect towards her head is disrespecting the Lord by disrespecting the Commandment of the Lord!

It is written in Isaiah 29, saying, “Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: because shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He has no understanding?” And again, the Lord said in Isaiah 45, saying, “Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, Do you know what are you making? Or shall your work say, He has no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What did you beget? Or to the woman, What have you brought forth?” Amen!

What does that which is being formed know about anything; but, yet it speaks as if it already know everything! Does the sperm of a man speak with the man about that which the man is doing to bring forth the child? Yet people are speaking as if they already know what they shall look like as being acceptable to God. They strive with their Maker! You make yourselves to be difficult for the Lord to work with, because of constant contentions, even as those people whom God brought forth out of Egypt by Moses, who were eventually destroyed in the wilderness! The Lord will leave off working with you, and leave you incomplete, which will make you to be a vessel that shall be cast away! Amen!

People gain knowledge about the Word of God so they can get a job as a preacher, so they can make some money! They treat becoming a preacher like they look at education for the purpose of getting a good paying job. But, the Lord has already warned the people that He will not accept anyone who is brought forth by these false preachers! So, it is important for everyone to make sure he is under a true man of God. If you hired your preacher, you are not going to be accepted by God! If you are under a preacher whom you elected to be a preacher by voting, you are not going to be accepted by God, because your preacher did not become your preacher by a way that God established!

The Lord had also spoken on yesterday from Jeremiah 18 about His Promise to do good for some people: but, if they would turn away from following Him, and turn to do evil, He would cancel His Promise to do good to them, and send destruction upon them. He also said to those who were not following Him that He would bring a destruction down upon them: but, if they would turn away from their wickedness, He would turn away the destruction from them. His Promises of good towards you only holds as long as you uphold your end of the deal! God will not make a contract null and void as long as you do not nullify the contract by breaking your oath! Don't expect God to keep His end of the bargain if you are not keeping your end! There are conditions that you must keep before you can receive what God promised you. But, people are expecting God to do the part that He promised to do without them doing their part!

The evil spirits do use people to work on your nerves! Their words are like arrows shot out! Your minds are constantly being bombarded with evil deeds and words! What you see, and what you hear are avenues by way which things can enter into your mind. These things were spoken of old as being arrows and darts being shot out at you. People have tried to cover themselves with cute little sayings, like, “Sticks and stones might break my bones; but, talk don't bother me!” That is a lie! Words will do you more harm than any physical thing can, because words are spirit! People's minds are totally destroyed by words of picking and teasing! But, people are made to set up shields that will keep the good from coming in, while allowing all manner of evil to come in. Every evil is a destroyer! The words of the mouth of the preacher are rejected, and not allowed to come into the heart: but, the evil has a pass to just walk right in. Righteousness is like the long line of people waiting outside to get into a club: but, certain people just walk right in. Righteousness does not force its way into a person's mind to make a habitation for itself: but, evil does. Who is the doorkeeper of your mind? The kind of doorkeeper, which you have, will determine what comes in, and what does not come in. People are shutting out the words of the preacher: but, they expect the Lord to help them when the things that they allowed to enter freely, start to do what they do in them. You have allowed Death to walk into your heart; and, Hell followed with him. Death and Hell will not stop any evil from hitting your heart, because they will not be a shield for you. They will allow you to be hurt by everything that is shot out at you. Eventually your heart is going to become hard and cold! You will become bitter and very angry; and, violence will proceed forth from you. Consider the arrow that Nabal shot out of his mouth at David in 1^st Samuel 25 that made David very angry, whereby his heart was set to go and kill that man. It is written in 1^st Samuel 25, saying, “And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and, she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb. And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: and thus shall you say to him that lives in prosperity, Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be unto all that you have. And now I have heard that you have shearers: now, your shepherds, which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel. Ask your young men, and they will show you. Wherefore, let the young men find favor in your eyes, because we come in a good day: give, I pray you, whatsoever comes to your hand unto your servants, and to your son David.

And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all of those words in the name of David, and ceased. And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There be many servants nowadays that break away, every man from his master. Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

So, David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all of those sayings. And David said unto his men, Gird you on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword! And, David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff. But, one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them. But, the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: they were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, because evil is determined against our master, and against all of his household, because he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But, she did not tell her husband Nabal. And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he has rewarded me evil for good. So and more also, do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him, by the morning light, any that piss against the wall.

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let your handmaid, I pray you, speak in your audience, and hear the words of your handmaid. Let not my lord, I pray you, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal, because as his name is, so is he! Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but, I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord, whom you did send. Now, therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has withheld you from coming to shed blood, and from avenging yourself with your own hand; now, let your enemies, and those that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. And now this blessing, which your handmaid has brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. I pray you, forgive the trespass of your handmaid, because the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil has not been found in you all of your days. Yet a man is risen to pursue you, and to seek your soul: but, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God; and the souls of your enemies, them shall He sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you ruler over Israel; that this shall be no grief unto you, nor offense of heart unto my lord, either that you have shed blood causeless, or that my lord has avenged himself: but, when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent you this day to meet me: and, blessed be your advice, and blessed be you, which have kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, which has kept me back from hurting you, except you had hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal, by the morning light, any that piss against the wall.

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have hearkened to your voice, and have accepted your person.” Amen!

Fury and rage had come upon David because of the words of Nabal: but, the Peace of the Lord, in the form of Abigail, reached David in time to prevent Hell from taking over in David's mind, and cause him to take vengeance for himself. And, David said to Abigail, “I really appreciate what you did for me!” But, what about those people whom the Peace of the Lord cannot reach in time? These people are going to continue to be ruled over by Hell, and violence shall surely erupt, except everyone gives his attention to being an “Interceptor!” Blessed are the Peace-Makers, because these are also called the children of God! And, Blessed are those who comfort those that mourn; and, bind up the broken-hearted! God has given you these Reports to work with; therefore, let Him see you using those things He has given you! Somebody is going to die; and, Death and Hell shall collect the spoils! Amen!

When you are made to focus on what is called a tragedy in one spot, you surely are missing the bigger picture! People were caused to focus of the 34 that died at Virginia Tech: but, what was the actual count of deaths that day? Look at the whole nation, and see how many were violently killed, here and there! The total number is staggering! But, because it did not all happen in one spot, no one gave it any thought! But, this is adding to the total that Death and Hell will be able to claim during this fourth seal! According to the Word of God from Revelation 6, Death and Hell will be able to claim one-fourth of the world's population by various means! Amen!
