Word 2/7/10 Blessed

Published February 7, 2010 warning , word Leave a Comment

I am the Lord of Heaven and earth. At My word men live and die. I give and I take away yet I am faithful to My words; every word for those who grasp hold and prosper in them. I do not delight in the double minded or those who dilute My words or make them of non-effect for their understanding or comfort. The righteous take Me at My word and hold fast for eternity. They are known as the faithful as I am Faithful. They are as their Master. The fearful, doubtful, unbelieving and lawful will fall down before them. The faithful bow to Me alone; I call them friends.

Blessed are they who look past their own needs and wants to see the needs of others. Is it not My will to lift up the hungry and thirsty? Is it not My will to be led by My Spirit in Truth and righteousness? Doers of My word consider Me Faithful to themselves and are about the needs of others; they seek another’s well being in Spirit and in Truth. I seek those who worship Me with their lives in Spirit and in Truth. My words are written on their heart. They know in who they have believed and put their trust; they will never be disappointed.

See the rising of the sun, it changes. Dark days are afoot (we are walking in them or they are at hand). Many will stumble never to rise again.A few will shed the trappings of the flesh to be robed in righteousness. Those who know Me are by circumstance soon to be released. My sons and daughters will roam the earth seeking the untainted to come to My gathering of the end of confusion. Truth reigns eternal. All that exalt themselves against Truth will be brought low. I am Truth! Those who lift their head against Truth lift their head against Me. I will have mercy on who I will yet the proud and arrogant will be seen no more. The are the chaff to be fed into the fire of My wrath.

Give ear all My saints. Listen! Hear Me speak in your ear. Quiet your flesh that you may hear and know My will; what is to come, that your heart be unmovable. Settle it in your heart that the comfort of your flesh is in My hand not the house of your making. Look to Me, trust Me with your whole heart. Reserve nothing for yourself that you will not trust in the arm of flesh for deliverance is by My Spirit at My word. With stammering lips I speak to all men but few will hear, less will obey. Come out and be Holy in My Spirit. Be free and walk in all Truth by My Spirit. Many of those who fight against Me think they do Me service not knowing Truth of My Spirit.

Comment: Those who do not pay attention to what the Holy Spirit is saying cannot know the times in fact (truthfully). They will be caught unaware. Those who haven’t learned to be obedient to the words of God will not learn when the green season turns dry. They didn’t draw close when He was near. What a man or woman has sown they will reap.

Why Can’t We All Get Along? Few There Be!

Published February 3, 2010 encouragement Leave a Comment

Because we have different fathers, different paths and different destinations! We hear different spirits and we can only serve one master.

Matthew 7:13 Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.4For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

James 3:14… if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

2 Thessalonians 2:10… with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Few There Be!

Romans 8:14… as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Revelation 3:8 I know you works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name… 10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Hold on a little longer.

Frugal Squirrel Anyone?

Published February 3, 2010 encouragement Leave a Comment

I know that the Frugal Squirrel has raised an eyebrow and the corner of a few mouths but sometimes a door opens. This is one of those doors if the moderators don’t close it.

Question: My wife and I teach a Bible study class at church for our youth. We are going to be looking at how God takes care of us and provides for us. I had decided to use Psalm23 and Matthew 6:25-34 as the scriptures, but now I’m a little perplexed. I can see where God has indeed taken care of me all of my life. But, I can also see where it appears He has not taken care of other believers. When I look at situations like Haiti, Darfur, China, and other parts of the world, I see believers who starve to death, who are murdered for their beliefs, and who have little. It seems the verses are saying that God will provide for our earthly needs yet it also seems this doesn’t seem to be the case for everyone. These are hard questions, but I need to get a grasp on them.

Answer: a prodigal son, you ask a fair question. God will do right in the whole earth but our understsanding; judgment, must be according to Truth.

Psalm 37:28 For the LORD loves judgment, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

Romans 3:4…let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

If the following verse is “TRUE” then anyone who does not measure up or who perverts the Truth of God’s word falls short.

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; 18They 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.

Some churches say that they do measure up but not by God’s judgment.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Truth is Truth. Jesus is Truth. Anyone who twists and perverts the Words of God or believes false teachings or doctrines does not love Truth; Jesus is Truth. Judgment and wrath has come, is on and will come upon the children of disobedience. Truly many are called (all who hear Truth) but few are chosen (selected as worthy). Narrow is the way and few actually find it. Those who try to enter in anyother way be it denomination or doctrine of men won’t make it. There is one way to all Truth but most deny it and don’t understand because it must be accepted by faith.

John 16:13… 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.

I hate to answer a question with a question but what would, “show you things to come” have to do with, ” he will guide you into all truth”? The answer is Revelation 18:4…Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

Judgment always begins in God’s house: 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

If we find ourself in the wrong place at the wrong time because we could not hear what the Holy Spirit said we will partake of judgment and wrath. The blind lead the blind into these areas and judgment hits those areas. They are, “them that obey not the gospel of God”. This is why it says in Revelation, “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches”. The question becomes who is a believer and who is not? Who can hear and who can not? Why can they not hear? They reject or deny the very Truth that would allow them “hear”. This is not a case of bad things happening to good people this is the results of denying “all Truth”. Being led by the Spirit is not happenstance or coinsidence it is deliberate choice. One must believe that God speaks in order to learn how to listen. Then and only then will everything that happens to “Christians” begin to make sense.

Revelation 2 & 3 are written to the church for today but religion and traditions of men has removed the key to understanding; faith in Truth. 1 Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, says the Lord. Tongues are a gift the comes when we are Baptized in the Holy Spirit. This happens by faith in Truth. The blind who lead the blind, foolish virgins or slothful servants are parables about the church today but everyone is right in their own deceit. 1 Timothy 5:24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. It’s not that difficult to understand if we know Truth and judge a righteous judgment. God is not mock, what a man sows he reaps.

Just a FYI for ESC!

I Speak With A Clear Voice

Published February 1, 2010 encouragement , word 2 Comments

From church on Sunday 24-Jan-10:

I speak with a clear voice to all who can hear in the spirit. My sheep know My voice and I tell you there is no confusion in Me. Hold fast to sound doctrine, allowing My rod and My staff to comfort you. In these times, men will run to and fro all the earth, their hearts failing them for fear. But My people must walk in obedience, allowing My Spirit to lead you into all truth, accepting deliverance and being led beside still waters.

Do you know that your cup runs over? Do you believe My words and live your life accordingly that you may be rich in faith? Many look to the left and to the right, wondering how to make provision for themselves, not keeping their eyes fixed on Me long enough to see all that I have prepared for them. Have you not read and believed that I own the cattle on a thousand hills? Do not look to make your own provision for I desire to bless you and know what you have need of before you even ask. Put down the flesh and bury the old man that you may see and know all that I have for you. My promise to you is that you will have no lack, if you only believe.

Love in Christ,
Ryan

From church 17-Jan-10:

Who will accept Me at My word? Who will hear the words of My mouth and be changed from glory to glory? Many proclaim My name but walk in the traditions of their fathers. Will you put on the mind of Christ, who was tried in like manner as you are yet without sin? I am looking for those who trust that I am strong in them and who love to let My Holy Spirit teach them, being led into all truth. When I return, will I find you faithful to Me and My word, not turning to the left or the right or seeking the pleasures of this life? Of a truth I tell you, I desire for you to prosper as your soul prospers but who will come deeper, allowing Me to give you understanding of the mysteries of the gospel? You have much to learn and I do desire to teach you but you must remain holy and separate unto Me. Deny not the spirit of truth and power that is within you for all things are possible to them that believe Me at My word. Come deeper My children, holding not back for I will give you all that you need. Look, with spiritual eyes, see that there are some who are called and chosen to fulfill My word in this time. Be obedient to speak all that I give you to speak. Freely it has been given to you therefore freely give. My word will not return void. Look to the end of your salvation that you may see and understand all that I require of you. To whom much is given, much is required.

To you who say that you desire truth but lack faith, I say ask Me to help you with your unbelief. I have called you and drawn you to this place that you may be given living water. I say drink that you would thirst no more. I hold out My hand to you this day and say only believe that I am who I say I am, the Living God, and ask Me to fill you. I tell you, I will not hold back. My promises are yes and amen. In Me there is peace and confusion has no place for what has darkness to do with light? Only believe this day and step out in faith. I will not forsake you. I will come in and sup with you.

Be strong people of God and hold fast to what you have that you are given more.

Love in Christ,

Dream 1/30/10 Light Removal

Published January 31, 2010 dream , warning 3 Comments

Acts 2:16… this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Dream: In the dream I was sitting in a chair in front of a fireplace with a good sized fire. The fireplace was the light and the warmth in the room. Suddenly the fire flickered and went out. My first thought was that this has happened before and the some sort of weird down draft had occurred and that the fire would flame back up again. I waited. The flame did not return. I suddenly realized that the flame would not return. Fear gripped my heart. The flame; the warmth, light and comfort was taken away. What I had, what I knew and could see with was taken away. Terror flowed over me. I knew that the light of the Holy Spirit; what I had, was taken away.

Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent.

Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you hast not sown, and gathering where you have not strawed: 25And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have that is yours. 26His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury. 28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which has ten talents. 29For unto every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has. 30And cast you the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Understanding; This was a genuinely disturbing event. When God finally sets His house for judgment and you are used to living in the confidence, peace, mercy and grace of God and He removes peace; His Holy Spirit; any light you do have, you are going to feel terror. This terror was so sudden, so real, so final that I awoke immediately and sought the Holy Spirit. If the Lord had not given to me previously this very night another dream and repeated it three times confirming the size of the seed of faith; the light within one that is just born again; of a slothful servant; believer, and the size of the light within one who has fruit of the Spirit; more talents; light, I would fear for myself. The terror of God isn’t always what he will do to you but what He can take from you; He has shown me and I testify to you; any who reads this. Repent and get hot for God and Truth because wrath is coming and this generation; my generation, will not pass away before the Lord’s return. Let he who has an ear to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

The Way, the Truth and the Life

Published January 30, 2010 encouragement Leave a Comment

Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:… 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

If we view everything in life as spiritual we have a much better chance of seeing and hearing God. We have much more understanding of God’s hand at work in this faithless and perverse world. We can see the beam in our own eye to finally have it removed. We will rely totally on hearing God’s point of view so that we can come out from the midst of where God’s displeasure resides.

Romans 8:2…the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Come out. Be free!

Word 1/24/10 God Confirms Dream with Words

Published January 28, 2010 warning , word 4 Comments

God confirmed this dream: Dream 1/24/10 Restaurant Modifications, with this word.

Word: What barrier can you hide behind? Under what pretense will you not judge yourself? Under what cover will Truth be hidden (from God)? I know truth! I know the meditations of your heart. I know the temptations to be religious apart from the (Holy) Spirit. It is self righteousness; you holding your thoughts higher than every word I speak.

Ephesians 2:18… through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom you also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Comment: My hope is that all who read this would understand Truth. The gathering on the 24th was and is a testament of the Holy Spirit co-ordinating and orchestrating in the body when we come together in Spirit and in Truth. Words, prophecy, scripture all confirming what God had to speak to us by the Holy Spirit. Each and everyone who spoke by the Spirit is a faithful witness to what the Holy Spirit spoke in their (spiritual) ear. Tara posted what the Holy Spirit spoke to her but many others have not yet but the panoramic picture painted by the Holy Spirit leaves little to doubt about the Father’s heart toward the church of today. Few can hear Revelation 18:4… (the) voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

Since the hired shepherds have abandoned “all Truth”, Jesus Himself is Shepherding His own. What we see, hear and experience is what God has for us in these last days. We are being perfected to be found worthy or rather, we were found worthy to be perfected. Being perfect is the acceptable standard of Righteousness and this can only be done by hearing and doing every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. God is not pleased with most churches; He has somewhat against them. Without faith in what is True few can or will come out and be separate. Many will fall away. Many die not accepting Truth to be found worthy to escape. Many reject and deny Truth because they believed a man (or his teachings) rather than God’s Word. They allowed their crown to be stolen.

Dream 1/24/10 Restaurant Modifications

Published January 27, 2010 dream , understanding 1 Comment

Dream: I saw the inside of a huge restaurant with many people that was very bright and well lit. My view was from the front left. There were many tables that were lined up in rows. They were all pretty much square with four chairs each. It was very big; so wide that it must have had fifteen, twenty or more rows of tables and so deep that I could not tell how many rows that there were. (In the dream I was just watching and not in it.)

As I was viewing, someone; a manager or persons of authority installed privacy screens on each and every table. They at first were going to be artsy, colorful and decorative intended to appeal to the more discriminate, private diner. They could have drawings or even catchy sayings; they were not all the same. While the intent was separation my first observation was that it limited how many could be seated at each table. In my next view from the front I could not see anyone because of the dividers. I could not tell one person from another because no one could be seen for the dividers. Because of the light being blocked there were now many shadows and dark corners. Even in the middle there were shadows.

I knew that the owner was not pleased with the changes and with the manager(s). Upon his return to the restaurant he removed not only the dividers but the managing team as well. The restaurant was his design and was built for his way and concept of dining; a family restaurant where everyone is treated the same. He not only liked his plan but demanded the openness in dining. Everyone could see what their neighbor was eating. Everyone could enjoy at least visually what others were fed. There were no secrets or hidden diners; everything was in the open. There were no shadows, darkness or division as the modifications that the managers had installed.

Understanding: God is not happy with those who want to alter His dining system. God is not happy with the divisions of denominations and doctrines of man(agers). God is not happy with those who hide behind the dividers. Jesus is Truth. The Holy Spirit leads into all Truth; who Jesus is. That is God’s way and His will, all others are doing their will. Shadows and darkness has a planner and managers who agree with him. To win all he; the planner, has to do is divide. Men love darkness and readily accept divisions; it hides their deeds. If people like the divisions; denominations, they will stay in them. Those who refuse to come out and be separated to Truth will partake of the anger God will pour out on the disobedient. By not coming out they become the disobedient themselves.

John 3:19… this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil… every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Mark 3:35… whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Romans 12:2… be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 Peter 3:17… it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

1 Peter 4:1… as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; 2That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 3For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 4Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 5Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 6For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 7But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

The Balance of God is Truth

Revelation 6:17… the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 2:10… Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
The difference between “Judgment” and “Wrath” is whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder; Matt 21:44. Romans 9:21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? 2 Timothy 2:19… The Lord knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. Ephesians 2:2… in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: 3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Ephesians 5:5… this you know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7Be not you therefore partakers with them.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance; 2 Peter3:9. Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39… know, that if the goodman (the foolish virgin, the slothful servant, those that say the Lord delays) of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
John 18:9…Of them which You (the Father) gave me have I lost none. Romans 8:36…we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
The qualifications to be found in this worthy group, while staggering, are achievable if we are a hearer and a doer of every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. The Holy Spirit is even now preparing a people if they have ears to hear what He is saying. God has Anointed; Christened, a people; servants of His house, to perform His will; to carry out His plan. After “judgment” begins in God’s house; God’s army sent to kill those who were to proud to come to Truth when bidden to His feast and refuse to come, the Lord will send His servants out once again to seek “whosoever will”.
Luke 1:49… his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Hebrews 12:5… despise not you the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked of him: Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Job 33:14 For God speaks once, yes twice, yet man perceives it not. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, 17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: 20So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22Yes, his soul draws near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness: 24Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. (John 20:23 Whose so ever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose so ever sins you retain, they are retained.)
1 Corinthians 5:5… deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
1 Peter 4:17… the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 2:3… whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Revelation 18:4… I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 12:12… rejoice, ye heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhibitors of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
Revelation 9:1… I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2… he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3… there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 11… they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon (the Destroyer).
Exodus 12:12…I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD… 23…the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Isaiah 54:16… I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
No one will be able to so say, “I didn’t know” and the fact that people don’t believe will be no comfort. Serving God is a choice of our will. Believing every word more than any man is a choice of our will. Being “led” (into all Truth) is a choice of our will. Judging our selves and comparing ourselves by others is foolish. Judging ourselves by the Word of God can make us wise. Dying to ourselves and being led by the Holy Spirit is the only way to be obedient to every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Those who are judged just by God will live by the faith in what is the Truth; partial Truth is partial denial. Bitter and sweet water cannot come from the same well. No man can serve two masters.
