52nd Day-29th Year!
21st Day of The 2nd month
02-26-2008
3rd Day of the week, which is called Tuesday!
A laborer has a desire to work, and he will always be concerned about not having what he needs to work with! He will always take care of his tools, because he is a laborer! Also, learn how to use what you have before you start asking for more! Are you wasting? Are you being efficient? Remember always to pay attention to your first duty, because if this is left undone, there is nothing else that will matter. Taking on other things don't give you the right to leave out the first responsibility! The Lord sets the priorities; and, all things must be done just the way He has spoken. Your first responsibility is always your most important responsibility. When it is left out, you have nothing that you can offer unto God.
It is written whereby the Lord said in Isaiah 52:2, saying, "Shake yourself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bands of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion." Learn to respect those who are given authority over you! How shall you come to God without showing respect for what He has commanded you? If you cannot be humbled, you will not be saved! Godly sorrow leads to repentance! How are you forgiven for what you are not sorry about? You are not going to get connected to God without doing those things that God is telling you to do to get connected to Him! You are not going to be brought unto baptism without following all of the steps that you are being given to take. You will not be given a position of leadership until you have learned how to follow! An heir is treated just like a servant! I was told by the Lord that I would lead His people back to Him: but, for the next five years I was placed on the highway, learning how to follow, respect, and obey! Though I was to be a commander, I had to first learn as a foot soldier! Consider Moses, and how he was a commander in Egypt: but, when the Lord called him out, he had to learn how to follow! Your experience in the world does not give you any leverage with God in the Kingdom of God! Now, you must learn how to do things His Way! Leaders are brought up through the ranks! Serve as a servant before you try to elevate yourself to a high position! Why do you think you are just going to be put in a position of authority without first having learned how to follow? Consider the simple instructions that you have not been able to show respect for! Consider how you show that those things that are written in the Reports don't pertain to you, because you have not done these things. You do remember how it was told to you that before Israel could come out of Egypt that they had to obey everything that Moses was given to tell them to do. But, you read instructions in these Reports, and you count yourself as being exempt from doing this! God has exempted you from salvation because of this! God has looked at everyone who has ever received one of these Reports; and, has seen who paid attention to following everything that is written therein. These are to be His people! This is how you are learning how to follow! Amen!
Thus saith the Lord, "Therefore, My people shall know My Power and Authority! Therefore, they shall know in that day that I am He that do speak! Behold, it is I." Amen!
You are Blessed and Holy, O Mighty God; and, You have said that those who are Your people shall know Your voice, and a stranger they will not obey! Amen!
Abraham believed God; do you? Abraham heard and did; do you? Amen!
It is written, saying, And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the tax collectors; and, he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who He was; and could not see Him because of the great crowd around Him, because he was a very short man. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, because He was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down, because today I must abide at your house. And he made haste, and came down, and received Him joyfully. And, when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham, because the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a kingdom, and to return. And He called His ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds (one pound each), and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But, His citizens hated Him, and sent a message after Him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when He was returned, having received the kingdom, then He commanded these servants to be called unto Him, to whom He had given the money, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, Your pound has gained ten pounds. And He said unto him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, you take authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, Your pound has gained five pounds. And He said likewise to him, You be also over five cities. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is Your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin (like Reports still being locked up in your computers), because I feared You, because You are a severe and strict man, because You take up that You laid not down, and reap that You did not sow. And He said unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe and strict man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: why did you not then give My money into the bank, that at My coming I might have required Mine own, plus with the interest it gained? And He said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds. (And they said unto Him, Lord, he has ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto everyone which has shall be given; and, from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him. But, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before Me." Amen!
"And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho." What does this mean? Notice the two cities that are mentioned: Jericho and Jerusalem! Both of these cities were cities with great walls around them: but, within Jericho was much evil! Jericho is the condition of your mind before the Lord enters! Within your mind is much evil, and the wall of evil that surrounds you will keep the evil protected, until that wall is destroyed. Your mind became a cage and a holding place for every evil spirit! But, when the Lord comes to deliver you, which speaks about the Word of God coming to you, there is no wall that can prevent the Word from entering in, and giving you the opportunity to see the Truth, even as it was with Zacchaeus! By receiving the Lord into your heart to abide in you, you are transformed from a likeness of Jericho to the likeness of Jerusalem! Then, you get another kind of Wall around you! Now, you have Angels of the Lord encamping round about you! Notice what the Lord said to Zacchaeus, saying, "Today I must abide in your house!" In the Word, it is written saying, "And, Jerusalem is the place where the Throne of the Great King is!" Your heart becomes Jerusalem when the Lord is sitting on the Throne of your heart! Jesus entering into Zacchaeus' house speaks of Jesus entering into his heart! Jesus said He must abide! This is what the Lord is saying to you right now! You must allow Him to abide in your heart! People will have seen you as a sinner; and, will still look upon you as a sinner: but, your condition will have changed before God! Your heart is no longer yours: but, now it belongs to the Lord; and, He decides what goes on with you from that point onward. The Lord rules! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! His Authority over you shall be your rejoicing! You've got to change your evil ways! Amen!
What are you doing with what God has already given you? Yet you seek more! Amen!
