Liberty

From yesterday during church (4/28/08):

Word
Continue to walk in strength according to all that I show you. For the time comes when all that I have given to you will be required of you. Hold fast to sound doctrine and speak only as My Spirit gives utterance.

Speak liberty by My Spirit to all who desire to be made free. For even as I have made you free, I desire for those who are bound but have a heart that seeks after My own to have liberty. I give you all that you have need of, My people, that you may pour out to those who are without. For yet another season of peace (the season we are now in) then sudden destruction will come upon the unbelievers, and every nation will be judged according to truth. Be not troubled or dismayed, but draw close to My side. Come and drink of the Living Waters daily that we may fellowship, one with another, that I may add all things unto you.

The Spirit of God is stirring those who will hear His voice and be changed. It is becoming more and more obvious to me that His sheep know His voice and another's they will not follow. His sheep look for His voice daily for direction, leading, comfort and truth. May we continue to walk in righteousness that Christ may be fully formed in all of us.

With love in Him,
Ryan

Faith

Word:
Hear me this day: Be Bold in Faith, so I'll find no lacking. Be led by my spirit, is is The Way. It is a light. Let Faith strengthen, it is my joy. There is no other way. I have called, will you hearken unto it. Will you listen.
I do not speak in vain.

Then later I heard:
I will shatter the earth, yet you will still not believe.

LUKE 18:1-8
{8}... However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the
earth?"

Vision: it was set in a backyard, a nice summer day. There was a man laying in a hammac, but he kept getting up and down. He kept checking on things. Checking to see if all was in order, if there was any stone left unturned type thing. The Lord's desire was to have him lay in the hammac, to have peace, to have faith and to not be anxious. Just believe. To just to be in His presence.
By lack of faith the man was finding no rest.


Knowing the peace and wisdom of the spirit, it is undenyable, how immeasurably valuable He is. We should treasure it so by having faith.


If this stirs anyone, I was led to share a personal understanding:

The ways of this world, the struggles from going and thinking in the ways of the flesh, in unbelief, in doubt, in pride, in trying on our own strength, is all so exhausting. It's a heavy weariness to the soul. It's as if even a speck of unbelief , feels like a ton. And keeps us that much furthur away from God. We should detest any such thing.
Lately, I've been noticing how weary I've been growing when worrying about others views and opinions. It's a silly thing when looking at it through God's eyes. We can not please everyone, and He wouldn't have us to carry that burden. Not to mention, it's all in vain. Amazing how a simple and straight way is made, when you only seek to please God. This is His life, not ours. And we should be more than happy to give it up. It's freedom.


Christ's Love,
Carmen

Word 4/20/08

As My path has been warn and trodden underfoot of man (despised, disrespected), destroyed, so he (man) would not maintain My ways in his heart, so My covenant with the gentiles ends; Worn, frayed and valueless to man for his own wisdom sake. Those who have walked the path and found restoration to My Kingdom within will never pass away. Hold fast to what you have, be not dismayed at the sights and sounds of judgment. I harden men’s hearts and send delusion that they may not trust or remember My words, that they may be counted with the heathen and unbelievers. Joy will leave their presence; fear, doubt and anger will fill their heart. Mercy, grace and peace will flee like a dove, hide like a serpent. Those who bear My Seal will not lack or regard bad tidings. They will shine as the sun revealing what is hidden in darkness.

The Jews await the new covenant who the gentiles have been blessed in these past days. Those who perish apart from a covenant of faith will await reward till a new covenant of righteousness be established at My return. The covenant of faith has its’ reward within, for the just shall live.

Waste no more time, draw near with every breath, be full of My Spirit. Be strong in Me and the power of My might.

The USA was a nation I chose to be blessed in righteousness, for they (fore fathers) loved My word and sought truth which was revealed these last years (Out pouring of the Holy Spirit, Azusa Street era). Many have come, receiving the reward of faith, but it was a schoolmaster for you of this generation. Do not be wise in your own conceit, but humble yourself to My Spirit. For in Him alone will you find the “Path of Deliverance” to My “Pavilion of Safety”. Kept from the heat of the day, the drought of the land, the famine of My word and provision. You will see with your own eyes the truth of My words and promises. My yoke is easy and burden light.

(My yoke is easy and burden light.) Yet it has direction, purpose and reward. I cannot, will not be mocked though. I was long suffering awaiting the “Day of Wrath”, which is soon to be upon the whole world. Every dog, every unclean person will be held to the accountability of the law of faithlessness. Who can or could establish their own righteousness in My sight? Narrow is the way, few have found it.

Judgment comes from the unbelief of truth. Judgment comes on the whole world. Judgment is the fruit of unbelief, unfaithfulness.

Tongues are a sign to unbelievers. Prophecy is a sign for a believer.
Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

What part is not true? What part is a perversion? What part is subject to private interpretation? What part do you (oh man) not believe? What part will you not do? Ask and you will receive if you ask according to truth, in faith, with a right heart.
Who will not receive a harsh word? Those who do not know Me. Who will not receive a rebuke? A fool. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

Be full of the Holy Spirit. Tongues is a sign to those who believe not. (They reject tongues and those who speak it, they reject the sign and the Holy Spirit who is Gods’ sign and proof.)

Who can wait on God (with confidence in truth)? Those who are full (full of the Fathers Spirit, full of the oil of truth, the oil of gladness).

Be humble (before God) and yield to the Holy Spirit.

John 16:13 Howbeit 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 shew you things to come. Matthew 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Stand In Faith

I judge the heart of man. Nothing is hidden from Me. Though things seem to slip by I have seen all and weighed all things. The day comes quickly when I will reign and rule over all creation, and you will see My glory and My judgments come to pass. But for now lean not to your own understandings, they are a trap even to the wise. Follow the leading of the Spirit and keep your mind stayed on Me. I will reveal Myself to you. Nothing can stand against Me. Humble yourselves before Me, be meek and be strong. I will be faithful. I am faithful. Submit to Me alone, My voice, another's you will (do) not follow. I love you and I am looking to perfect My anointed. Step up and stand in faith. Be not troubled, though the trials and sorrow may last for the night gladness and joy comes in the morning. Your redemption draws near. (Hear, obey and seek).

Grace and peace,
Rachel

Prepare The Way

From yesterday at church (4/20/08):

Word
The time you are now in is a time of separation unto Me. A time of perfection that those who are weak may be made strong and that those who are strong may be as I am. I have come near to you who seek My face that all things may be added unto you. For you have not allowed yourselves to be satisfied with the words of Men. I have written My words upon your heart that when you speak by My Spirit, My word may be established. You have heard the cry of My Spirit and do say to all who will hear it, "Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight the paths for Him." You have gone forth by My Spirit and have spoken that the low places be brought up and the high places be brought down. In this I do take pleasure for you judge all things by My Spirit and do not make flesh you arm. Continue on the path that is set before you, My friends. Continue to drink the pure water that you may lead others to the place of drawing water in My Spirit. Keep your eyes set on the high prize for your salvation is near (those who make it to the end, the same will be saved).

I am looking for those tho will die to themselves and allow My Spirit to teach them all things. I am searching for those who will let themselves be led into all truth. For many seek the approval of men that they may judge themselves by themselves. Is it not written to live you life by every word that proceeds out of My mouth? Those who have obeyed the gospel will walk in this truth for they do no not allow themselves to be moved by the words of men. I tell you none who love their life or the things thereof will keep it for I alone and the way to life and peace, and a man cannot serve two masters. They will love the one and hate the other.

With love in Jesus,
Ryan

Finding the Highway of Holiness, a Dream

Job 28:7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 8The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 9He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 10He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. 11He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 12But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

Luke 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Isiaih 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

A Dream 4/17/08

This dream was over several hours. I awoke three times during the night and this dream reoccurred each time and progressed. In the first part I was walking on a trial in the woods. It was cool with sunlight coming through the trees. As I walked I came upon what looked like a small hill and stepped to the top. Once on top I looked both ways on the hill. It went on as far as I could see, straight as an arrow, perfectly level, with drop offs on both sides. It reminded me of an old rail road track bed, but it was to narrow. The path appeared to be hidden from view due to the over growth of the forest, but no trees grew on the path.

The second part I was standing on the path looking down. I noticed part of a stone walk way centered on the pathway. Most of the old walking stones were gone, removed very deliberately, leaving a torn, rough pathway that would be difficult not to stumble on while walking. Then I saw on the path what looked like debris at first. I then realized that the debris was someones attempt to restore the path, only rather than the original stone walkway they used wood. The pieces of wood were irregular in shape and size. While looking at the placement of the wood it became apparent why the stepping stones and wood pieces were there, the ground itself was soft and spongy. The stones or the wood seemed to support weight much better than the bare ground alone.

The third part started with my consideration of building a path of such soft material. I then realized that it was due to the lack of use that overgrowth had built a spongy layer, though the steps themselves were solid. I wondered why anyone would have removed the foot pads that formed the path and left it so course. I next thought about who would have attempted to rebuild the path with wood, and why. I picked up a couple pieces of the wood to have a closer look. It appeared that the wood was fresh with no decay. I then held one piece and noticed that it opened up containing a CD. After closing the case I replaced it where it had been. It was getting darker now, toward late evening. I now stood on the far side of the path looking toward my left, I could see a few of the original path stones, they seemed to glow in the darkness. They were at irregular spacing, I could see quite a few of them, even more than visible in day light. They seemed to stand out in the darkness for quite some distance as though they could light the way in darkness. The peace and serenity of it was beyond understanding, the sense of Holiness was drawing. I just stood there pondering what I have found.

Wake up time. Wow, this is interesting. I told Rhonda a little about it. I said that I’d pray for understanding. This is what I received so far. The path was torn up by men who wanted people to use another path. They broke up the path stones so that others could not use the path. The straight and narrow path had valleys filled in and mountains torn down to make it level. The path stones were not man made, they glowed, and were meant to guide people in darkness, lighting their path. The path was elevated so if anyone took their eyes off the path and turned they could fall. The path was not used very much, while I was there I saw no one, but the lack of trees prove that it was used. The solid, unmoving stones (when stepped on) seemed more solid than the earth around it could provide. The sponginess of the soil was not muddy but would mire one down in trying to walk in it, like a peet moss bog, this had the benifit of letting people know that they had strayed from the center of the path. This spongines could also cause one to stumble and fall from the path all together. The pieces of wood were mans attempt to repair what others had removed and torn up, from old type wooden shingles used to cover houses and roofs to the latest technology. The path was a foot path, not meant for busses, trains or planes, narrow with deliberate steps. The path was hidden completely from view, except those who have crossed it. The attempt by man to repair the path was meager at best, more of a trip hazard than a help, yet supported weight on the path. Those responsible for trying to destroy the path will have to contend with the Creator. It is as though the word, the law, the doctrine of the Father passed on to the apostles and to us by the Holy Spirit of God, lights the path for all on the path, all who find it.

Deuteronomy 19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Hosea 2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. 6Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

Psalm 142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: 13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Isaiah 5:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 17Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. 18Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 19That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! 20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 23Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 26And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: 27None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: 28Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: 29Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. 30And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Be of good cheer you who find the path, that is the way. Though it is old and in disrepair because of man, hidden from the wise, hidden from the view of all, it is the only way.

Judgment

The Lord spoke this word to me on Sunday.


Isaiah 30
ISA 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
ISA 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
ISA 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
ISA 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
ISA 30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

I will pour down my judgment like rain. It shall flood the lands of the wicked, overtaking the strongholds of the prideful. Shall any man hide from my eyes? Mercy, peace to them that seek my face but I say who has despised the day of small things? Cursed is the man who trusts not in my Spirit, who says in his heart that there is another way to the father. Those who neglect so great a gift, those who trample underfoot the Son. Who have I set free? Then I say if I have set you free you are free indeed. Woe unto the pastors who take for a prey my people. Who take a burden to trap them and a snare to take them in. They set a feast in the midst of the poor and lame and say "You cannot have.". I shall destroy them all who pervert my truth and I shall judge a righteous judgment. What words are these? I hear the sound of falsehood and of lies. The prophets prophesy lies in my name yet I did not send them. Cursed is the man who seeks out a prophet for I will answer that man by myself. I alone speak and who has spoken to those I have called? I speak in the ears of my prophets and my servants. My sheep know my voice. I separate the chaff from the wheat and I shall burn all that does not stand, that is taken away by the wind. Did I not say not the least grain shall fall to the earth? Come, draw near unto me, find your refuge from the storm. Strong delusion shall I send them and the earth shall I rend in my fury. By still waters in my pasture. Look to me, my freedom, my rest. What shall you compare it to?

Now is the time to get the Holy Spirit. It was always "time" but now if you don't you will never. The time surly is short, the day soon ends. I pray that those who have ears who know Gods voice would hear and not delay. You need only believe and ask for if you ask according to his will and do not dought you will have what you ask for. For those that have the spirit, that we would be careful where we stand, standing in liberty and not in bondage, treasuring the pearl more than anything on this earth. Our only refuge from what is to come is in God, having the seal of sonship, for as many as are lead by the spirit of God are the sons of God. Today is the day of salvation and no man is promised tomorrow.

Romans 7
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

To God be the Glory,
Austin

Last Time, Last Call: Whosoever Will, May Enter In!

This is not for those who believe. This is for those who do not believe. It is a sign for unbelievers. Believe what you may ask? Truth. Some people get angry when you bring up the Holy Spirit. They don't know it, but they are angry with God. The mere mention of the Holy Spirit brings up thoughts of discomfort because it is an area they know nothing of, but act like they do. Within their spiritual circles they may be giants, repeating every doctrine that they learned, just not according to truth. They have many excuses which equal lies or unbelief, certainly not truth revealed by the Holy Spirit. Of who we are instructed, will lead us into all truth. The disdain for the Holy Spirit borders on blasphemy and in Gods' eye is heresy and rebellion. This is why the foolish virgins suffer the same fate as the fearful and unbelieving. How can this be you ask, I love God? You love God in your own understanding, a different Jesus than truth. You refuse to accept the seal of the Holy Spirit, the proof of sonship.

How can this be a sign to unbelievers? Tongues is a sign to unbelievers (but you refused to believe that). You are correct. The prophecy is contained in the title. The Holy Spirit will not always strive with man. When the sound of the bridegrooms coming is heard it is to late to to acquire oil for your lamp, you are the lamp. You should be the temple of the Holy Spirit, God confirming His word with signs (tongues and others), but He is unwelcomed within you. This is a word for one in particular, it is a prophecy. It may apply to many, but this is for you. Your hardness of heart and unwillingness to believe has come before the Father because He has bestowed much mercy and grace to you, in all long suffering. You were a chosen vessel, blessed above many and you recognised it. God would that you should turn and repent, but He will not call or draw you to truth any longer.

If God needs to build a case, it will be by His word. Your defence will be by words you have spoken, every idle word. Line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little there a little is how God instructs, how we learn, why our argument will not stand before truth. God said if any man lack wisdom let Him ask. Either you didn't ask or you didn't believe, let every man be a liar but God is true. The problem is within you, God does not change. You can say I believe Jesus is the Son of God, but your heart, understanding and actions speak to the contrary. You didn't do His will, you didn't believe every word out of His mouth. The Lord said: It will be more tolerable in the day of judgment for Simon the sorcerer in the day of judgment than for you, for he repented of his iniquity, he believed in the Holy Spirit.

Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8And there was great joy in that city. 9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

The following all have meaning, all are inter woven. Line upon line. Here for your edification. You have choice to hear and believe or not.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. 17And 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.

John 20:29 Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

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

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.

1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serves not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love castes out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Revelation 21:7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And 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: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

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

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

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Note:
The days of instruction and correction will shortly end. What you go into tribulation with is all that will sustain you. If you have the Holy Spirit you will be able to receive more. To some, only their their own willingness to die for their faith will allow their eternal life.

Word 4/10/08

What is truth? Truth is Me keeping My word. Performing those things that I have written, that I have spoken, that I have whispered in your ear.

What is faith? You, believing My words for your life, and Me bringing to pass all that I have said. Every man was given the measure of faith, a tiny speck, yet if allowed to grow (it becomes), powerful, savory, bringing a harvest for My glory (and pleasure). Planted in good soil, My seed grows to be what it was planted to be, in My image and likeness, with fruit of the Holy Spirit, My Spirit, giving joy and strength (My works, even greater) too the bearer. Look within (yourself). What fruit do you bear? Does it look like you (man) or does it look like Me? I do not change, in Spirit or in truth. If the seed planted in your heart was of Me, signs and wonders will follow, for you believed (the seed) it is of Me. The fairest of ten thousand (those who truly believe).

Comment:
We should be exactly like Jesus; Being full of the Holy Spirit, Knowing the will of the Father, Doing the will of the Father, Having the Fathers words written on our hearts, Knowing the doctrine of the Father, The Holy Spirit bringing all things to mind, Signs and wonders following because we believe and God confirms His words, Being able to discern good from evil, Having boldness and confidence before our Father.

Acts 2:17 And 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: 19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

A Righteous Judgment

At church (4/13/08):

Isaiah 32

Word
The righteous shall stand in their righteousness alone. For when the time of the gentiles is finishes, and when the grace that has been given is no more, men will depart from the way. For the time has come where judgment must begin at the house of God and surely I do judge a righteous judgment. Let the prideful, the boastful, all who speak falsely in My name hear Me this day: Your end has come. The day has come where you must be judged according to all that you have spoken. For you have led many astray and have caused My sheep to follow after vain imagination and doctrines of devils. All who have spoken to My people, prophesying falsely in My name, will be destroyed for I the Lord have spoken it. There is one God and I am He. All who have ears to hear, hear Me this day. Come out and go not back. Follow after Me this day and die to yourself that I may be lifted up in your midst and that there may be liberty unto the captives. To all who have accepted the words of men and have not hearkened unto My voice: I say turn unto Me and repent of dead works. The words of men will fail but My word will never pass away. Come this day that you might find life and peace in Me. I am not a man that I should lie.

I tell you, My people, be ready to answer every man according to the liberty that has been given to you by My Spirit. For I have made the call and I would have it that you would strengthen those that are weak that they may be made strong. As it has been given to you freely, freely give. There are those who do hunger and thirst after righteousness still, and I would have it that they be filled.

I have much to tell you, much to show you. I say come My people and dwell in My presence that all things may be added unto you as I see fit. The day comes quickly when I will cause you to speak to multitudes. Who will hear My word and speak as My Spirit gives utterance? I tell you, do not delay. Come before Me that I may pour out liberally upon you. There is much required of you for I the Lord have written My words upon your heart. Let your calling and election be made sure for you have been chosen and set apart unto Me for such a time as this. Believe all that I speak to you, even this day, that I may account it unto you for righteousness. My sheep know My voice and another's they will not follow. This is how you will know them, for they will speak My words by My Spirit.

May God give us wisdom and understanding in all that He reveals to us.

With love in Him,
Ryan

Not Many Mighty

At home before church (4/13/08):

Word
I am with you, My son. Hear Me this day.

There are not many mighty, not many strong, not many wise that will enter in to the kingdom of God. For though I have called, they desire to seek Me by their own understanding. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to Me. I search for those who desire to worship Me in spirit and in truth, those who come before Me in humility knowing that all things are done by My Spirit. I tell you, you are My people and I am your God. When I called, you answered saying, "Lord, here I am." I delight in those who are of a pure heart and of a humble and contrite spirit. It is you who I will take and build up, and strengthen that you would have confidence in Me alone, knowing that all that I speak to you is needed for the edification of the church. Continue to walk in all that I have shown you, seeking first My kingdom and My righteousness that all things may be added unto you. Be free indeed. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind daily. Come before Me with thanksgiving, knowing that it is I who will bring the increase. Know that you are a peculiar people, set apart unto Me for good pleasure. Know that I desire to use you for the glory of My name and that all you do in My name is accounted unto you for righteousness. Those who believe Me and hear My voice know that man does not live by bread alone. Let this mind be in you that My name be lifted up and My will be done always.

With love in Jesus,
Ryan

Who do we serve?

I have called. Have you chosen? Do you choose each and every day? Do you take every thought captive? Do you follow silently after me and allow me to teach you as I would? Put away all structure, all ideas, all carnal teachings which profits you nothing. Believe and enter in. Hold fast to my promises. Hold fast to truth. Write my promises upon your heart and believe. Who will sell all that they have and follow after me? Who's heart is set on me? Who will believe and inherit the promises? Who will love truth and hearken unto my voice and believe that I speak, and that you are capable of hearing?

Then the Lord asked:
How should a man walk? Is it by thinking? Is it by feeling?
No, its by hearing and following the voice of their father, with faith, believing that indeed it is the voice of their father.

Vision
It was a long and narrow path surrounded by tall bushes with a light at the end of the path. When the lord asked that question above (How should a man walk?) and then asked is it by thinking, I seen a man that tried to get to the end of the tunnel by using his brain/intelligence and he was focusing very hard on walking, and before he knew it he walked right off the path of God and was headed in another direction. When the lord asked if it was by feeling, I seen a man that would move fast for a very short period and then stop, then go and stop, and he didn't get very far at all because he moved only by emotion. Then when God said that a man should walk by hearing the voice of the father, I got the understanding of a man that could close his eyes and walk the path straightly by listening to God calling him at the end of the path.

It is so important to know and be led by the holy spirit(voice of God). Without it we can't do much at all for God. Salvation is a necessity and is a good thing, but it is better to move on to full age and to be able to discern, receive, and give strong meat.

Then the lord stirred me to read Hebrews 5 and 6. God is calling us to perfection. He does not want us to be muddled up with dirty water, but to be a pure people. A people that is acceptable in his site. He is building up a people that want to know him and serve him with all their life. We need to give up everything. Sell all that we have and follow Jesus. (Understanding is to let go of everything) We are nothing, and God is everything. God wants us to put down "religion"(in the way the world is religious today) and take up freedom in his spirit. When we are obedient to the spirit, we fulfill the law. There is liberty and peace in God's spirit and we have to let go of all that we know and believe his promises and enter in. It's here for everyone.

Hebrews 5

¹For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
²Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
³And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
⁴And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
⁵So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
⁶As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
⁷Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
⁸Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
⁹And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
¹⁰Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec
¹¹Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
¹²For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
¹³For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.¹⁴But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 6

¹Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
²Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
³And this will we do, if God permit.
⁴For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
⁵And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
⁶If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
⁷For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
⁸But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned
⁹But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
¹⁰For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
¹¹And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
¹²That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
¹³For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
¹⁴Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
¹⁵And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
¹⁶For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
¹⁷Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
¹⁹Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;²⁰Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

God bless, Chad

Free Indeed

Ecclesiastes 2
10And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
11Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

A man who builds upon a rock is wise for he has considered the end of his ways from the beginning. He knows storms will come and that his foundation must be immovable. Consider the foolish man who built upon the sand: he does not consider his end for all the work of his hands shall perish at the slightest wind. Build upon me, line upon line, precept upon precept. I am sure ground. I am the rock of your salvation. Men choose what they will but there is still only one way to the father, through me by my Holy Spirit. I have spoke to you in times past saying "Come", but in the hardness of your heart you could not hear. Hear this day for I am God and I am faithful. I am rest. I am peace. Where else shall you go? I alone have the words to eternal life. Stand this day for those I have set free are free indeed.

Mathew 2
9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

To God be all the glory,
Austin

Endure

From prayer last night (4/11/08):

Word
Endure, My people. Those that endure until the end, the same will be saved. Walk in righteousness keeping your eyes fixed on Me and knowing that your reward is with Me. Wait on Me for truly your salvation is nearer than when you first believed. Become not weary in well-doing but know that soon I will open the door and make a way that you may enter in to all that I have called you to do. Have you been faithful in the little things that I may cause you to rule over much? Have you found your place of rest, your place of communion with Me, in the Spirit? I have made a way for you to have liberty and to be indebted (spiritually) to no man. Those whom the Son has made free are free indeed. I have made you free. Walk in faith and wisdom that you may see the end of a thing and speak concerning all that My Spirit reveals to you.

I have made a way for you to enter in to My presence that I may teach you from My very mouth. I have given you one another that when you come together one will have a song, one will have a prophecy, one will have a word that all that are with you may be edified. Do not hold back concerning these things for if I the Lord lay it on your heart, be obedient and speak that My will be done always. I desire that all who are here would have faith and believe the words of My mouth, nothing doubting, that My glory would be made manifest in your midst. Signs and wonders follow after them that believe that I am who I say I am. Know that I am with you always, I do give you rest and peace, and I give you strength by My Spirit daily. My glory is your rearguard. I tell you, continue in the work that I have set before you to do, praying always and giving thanks for all that I do for you. You have what you ask for according to My will. Doubt not for I the Lord have spoken it this day.

James 1:12, 25-27
¹²Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.....²⁵But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

May the peace of God be with you and may the words that He speaks encourage all who have ears to hear to draw close to Him while He is near. Let us keep ourselves unspotted from the world.

With love in Jesus,
Ryan

I am faithful, trust in Me. I know you; I know your hearts desires. I created you. I created this earth. I am all knowing and all loving. Have faith in Me, and fear nothing. For I am God, and I am yours, and you Mine. What can come against you? Nothing, nothing can come against you. I am for you. Rest in my presence, in My peace. Have faith, know I am God.
Psalm 34
[1] I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2] My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
[3] O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
[4] I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
[5] They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
[6] This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
[7] The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
[8] O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[9] O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
[10] The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
[11] Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
[12] What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
[13] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
[14] Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
[15] The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
[16] The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
[17] The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
[18] The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
[19] Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
[20] He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
[21] Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
[22] The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

God is so faithful and good through it all. He is constant, He is consistent and unwavering. He never changes. His ways are perfect, He is an awesome God who cares for us and our individual needs. Look to Him for comfort, strength, confidence, and everything. I pray that He finds us full of faith. I pray that He is our first love.

Joy and Strength through Christ

Jesus Bring the Rain

From Sunday church April 6th, 2008.

On my way late to church last Sunday, a song came on the radio. I've heard it before, but the lyrics stirred me that morning. "Jesus bring the rain".

So I sat down at church and found the perfect peace that comes with being still, wanting nothing, waiting on God. The Holy spirit showed me a vision of a typical soft-rainy day. And God was beckoning us to come out and enjoy it. To recieve it, for there was growth in it.

At this time He reminded me of the Scripture (John 14) when Jesus tells His diciples he will send His helper (The Holy Spirit) and it will lead into all truth.

In the vision I saw a person coming outside, but putting up a bright yellow umbrella. This person wanted the comfort of staying dry. The umbrella is a convient tool for this, and lots of people use them. The understanding was that many people want to come out in faith, but still put up walls (which are easily seen to God hence the bright yellow) and therefore cannot fully enter into His spirit, His rest, His wisdom, His peace, His will..

God says continually (in scripture as well as what the spirit has been saying lately) to put down vain understandings, comforts of the world, and walls of the flesh. We are not of this world.

Then God said:
Recieve Jesus, recieve the helper He sent. Step out.



God sent His helper, the Holy spirit. He's asking us to have the faith to recieve it, to enter in, to come out of the comfort zones of this world and to LIVE by it. He does not hold back and He gives freely. Let him set you free from the bondage of this world. He wont force it upon anyone. He is meek, lowly and ...which is why the vision itself was a soft, warm rainy day.

His spirit will poor out liberally to those who truely want it.

Recive Him-

Thirst No More

As I was praying Tuesday, the Lord started to speak to me and told me to share the word that he spoke.

I am your habitation. Stand in me my son and do not be moved. I am the same and those things which I have promised, all that I have spoken shall come to pass as I have shurly spoken it. This peoples heart has grown fat, their ears dull for they love this life, my ways are far from them. Let it be heard this day, let every ear that hears my voice declare that I am God and I come quickly.

Gird up your loins, stand fast before me. I am strong. I am God. The people shall tremble and the isles fear. The mountains shall be moved from their place. Look to me you of a humble heart. Look to me you of a contrite spirit. I am your way, I shall light your path. Look, search out the old paths and see if I am not the same. For that which I have established shall no man tear down and that which I have made a desolation shall no man build again. My rest, your peace. Do not faint in the way. Drink of me you thirsty and thirst no more. I am a deep well, an everlasting river. I do not run dry. Eat this day of my meat, that which proceeds only from my mouth. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the words of my mouth. The mountains shall you move, the oceans shall you part. The heavens shall be shut up by the words you speak. The dead shall hear and rise. The sick, diseased, and lame will be made whole. I make your paths strait. I am your reward, your treasure in heaven, for where I am there is your heart also. Trust in me for I am faithful.

And I asked the Lord just for a scripture for confirmation and the Lord said Jeramiah 6....

JER 6:1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
JER 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
JER 6:3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
JER 6:4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
JER 6:5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
JER 6:6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
JER 6:7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
JER 6:8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
JER 6:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
JER 6:10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
JER 6:11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
JER 6:12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
JER 6:13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
JER 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
JER 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
JER 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
JER 6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
JER 6:18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
JER 6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
JER 6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
JER 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
JER 6:22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
JER 6:23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
JER 6:24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
JER 6:25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
JER 6:26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
JER 6:27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
JER 6:28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
JER 6:29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
JER 6:30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.


I know now is a trying time, but I know that the trial of our faiths is precious. Today is the day of salvation, now is the accepted time. May every man work out his own salvation before God, for before God only will you stand or fall. The Lord also gave me an understanding about him being our refuge and him being our peace( Which was just that. He is our refuge and he is our peace if we hold fast and enter in). This time is short we must hold fast to what we have, we must stand and not be moved. I do pray that we are found worthy, that those things which remain would be strengthened in us. Let us not be weary but run to God and thirst no more.

To God be the Glory, your brother,
Austin

Faith 4/6/08

Word:
Am I slack concerning My promises? Am I not God? Will I not perform every promise that I have made to you? Why do you yet doubt in yourself that My promises are yea and amen? Have I not shown you My faithfulness time and time again? Where is your faith? You say with your lips that you believe, but where is your action? Have you put into practice what I have shown you? Have you made it a part of you? I say to you this day that without faith , without puting your trust in Me, you will fail. I alone am the rock. I alone am unshakable. Your ways are as sand, shifting with the winds and water that appeal to your fleshly lusts, but My ways are steady. They are truth, and in them is life for those who follow them faithfully, holding nothing back. Look to Me this day. Cast away every care, everything that would exalt itself against Me. Come follow Me. I alone can give you rest. I alone can bring you peace. I alone am God.Submit yourselves. Be obedient. The time draws near when no man can work. Do what is in front of you to do with joy, delighting yourselves in your salvation, for it alone is enough. Recognize the gift you have been given My people. Appreciate it for it was bought with My son's life. Do not neglect so great a gift.

Lord, I pray that you cause us all to walk in the victory and freedom of perfect faith, so that through us, YOUR name alone will be glorified.

With love in Christ,
Tara

Word 4/7/08

Enter in. Enter in with boldness and confidence. It is given to you to understand and believe if you put your faith in Me. Believe that I am good. My every thought for you is good, but, you must enter in by faith. As it is written; the fearful and unbelieving I take no pleasure in. Look to where you stand, will it afford your place in My presence? I will not deny Myself. Enter in. Enter into My joy, My rest. Cast down every thought, every doctrine, every canon of (religious) law that you will find liberty in Me. That you may be seated in heavenly places, In My presence, in My acceptance and approval.

Abraham believed Me and I accounted it to him as righteousness. He was willing to sacrifice his own son, who he loved more than himself, because he trusted Me. I tell you, your love for Me must exceed your earthly (natural) comfort to enter my presence. If you do not die to man, die to yourself, you will never find My will, My way (It is spiritually discerned and followed by faith). Believe My word, believe Me.

Do you think that urging within is of yourself? I tell you, I stir you, I call you, I extent My hand to you to enter in this day. Ask and you will receive, call and I will answer. Only believe. Your soul will rejoice in its fatness, its joy unspeakable, its peace, its liberty, its witness that you are Mine and I am in you. Take no thought for your life. Do not turn back to worry, fear and doubt. Give your life to Me, trust and believe. See if I will not prove My word, My love, over and over. Nothing will over take you, no harm, no shadow of evil for I am your shield, your high tower (your strong defence). My love is so great that I sent My Son to die for your sin, believe Me and be free.

Those who do not run to My love (now), may be drawn by fear (time to come), but in darkness they may stumble and fall, never to rise. Draw near while it is day. Look to My Spirit that will abide in you to confirm My word. He (the Holy Spirit) is the seal of My acceptance. Fear not and enter in. Cast down imagination and enter in.

I know how to break the will of man. I know how to overcome every obstacle. Yet, I desire men to love Me for who I am. I will not keep a willful steward or exalt the unbelieving, for I detest pride and loathe unbelievers. There are but two kinds of servants; good, and all others. There is but one bride; I know her, and she knows Me and My voice, when I call.

Make your calling and election sure. Enter in. Willfully give yourself to Me that I may dwell in you. All things have passed away, all things become new, sin no more. Who will lay anything to the charge of My elect, those who are forgiven, on whom My Spirit rests in truth.

Hear Me This Day

Hear Me this day. Do not forget My words. I am for you not against you. If you choose Me I will never fail you. If you draw close to Me I will draw close to you. Why do you fear? What do you fear? Is there anything I cannot do? Anything you could not overcome through Me? No. I am the Almighty, the Beginning and the End. My words, My authority, My promises are everlasting. Put down vain imagination. Anything and everything that exalts itself against Me and My truth. How many times should I ask, ask you to serve Me with your whole heart, holding nothing back? It is true that in My Spirit there is freedom and joy and peace, but if you do not choose to live in it, there are struggles, hardship, fear and doubt. Are these the very things that keep you from entering in? The only way to be free of them is to open yourself and commit yourself to Me. I do love you and I would have it that you lack and want for nothing. Allow Me to reveal Myself to you. I will give you understanding. I will show you mysteries and open your ears to hear My voice, if you choose now to hearken to it. What do you have to lose, the temporary pleasures of this world? Even you know they are only pleasing for a moment and you know how quickly the emptiness comes again. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. If you seek your life you will lose it, if you give your life to Me you will find hope, and the reason you live and have breath today. Seek My face, call upon My name. I will answer swiftly. Do not look back I have (take) no pleasure in the double-minded man/woman. I am here now, do not delay. Today is the day of salvation. Hear Me for I do not speak in vain. Allow Me to comfort, protect and pursue you. I will forever be faithful and just.

Grace and peace,
Rachel

Healed Their Sick

The night before church, during fellowship at my house, a brother asked us to pray for him because he had a headache and felt the Lord wanted him to ask for prayer. A few of us laid hands on him, speaking against this pain, and the headache went away. We thanked God for His faithfulness.

While at church yesterday, I was considering the Lord and was very stirred regarding healing, remembering what the Lord had spoken to me the night before about not reasoning with sickness, pain, or deliverance. We need not reason with infirmities and devils, we speak the word and they must flee. As I prayed and was putting these things before Him, the Lord confirmed to me that the same will we do, if we believe. I asked Him to confirm it in His word and He told me "Matthew 14." He then spoke a word to me:

Matthew 14:14
¹⁴And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

Word
Do you think that you should do any less than I did when I walked the earth? Do you have faith to believe My words, that greater things would you do if you believe? You must have wisdom and understanding in all things, but know this: I have not left you powerless. Let nothing keep you from performing My words even as My Spirit leads you. If you put on humility and walk as a humble servant, will I not lift you up? Will I not show Myself strong through you? Is it not written that even in your weakness I am strong? Who will hear it and believe Me this day? Who will hear My words and walk in faith, not allowing yourself to be the same as you were before? I tell you, have faith. Lay hands on the sick that they would recover. Speak liberty to the captives that they would no longer be in bondage to the flesh. Feed the weak that they would be made strong and rejoice in Me. All these things I have done, even to you, and the same do I require of you, and more. For you have been given the baptism of My Spirit that you may be led into all truth. Do not allow yourself to be satisfied with the words of men but seek My face. I am not hidden from those who are meek and lowly, those who love truth. I am not hidden from you. Come and enter in that you may find rest in Me and that I may write My words upon your heart.

With love in Jesus,
Ryan

Word 4/3/08

Word to those who walk in the Holy Spirit and in Truth, having ears to hear and doing the Fathers will:

You are like the gates of the great city. Different in color, but serving the same purpose. Beautiful in your situation, yet a portal to My presence. How beautiful for those who enter,yet serving your calling. Speak out to those who pass by. Some saying I am in need of nothing. others rejoicing for finding their hearts desire (that has been) hidden by the deceit of man. Be encouraged, fore your deeds have not gone unnoticed. Shake off weariness for your rest is (near) at hand.

I Know You Love Me

Yesterday during prayer, the song "At The Cross" by Hillsong was playing. The lyrics of the song were, "When the earth fades, falls from my eyes. You'll stand before me and I know you love, I know you love me." The Lord then spoke this to me:

Word
I know you love Me. I know that you desire nothing more than My name be lifted up that My people would be made free. I know that everything you do, you do in My name that I may be glorified and that all may know that I am God. I know that you, My people, desire to be used by Me. I say wait on Me and walk by the leading of My Spirit. Your obedience to speak to all that I put before you accomplishes more than you can see in the flesh. I tell you, see by My Spirit all that is accomplished when My words are spoken out of the mouths of My servants. I tell you, whatsoever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Do not think yourself small for even as I have sent one man, My only Son, that men might hear and turn unto Me, I have sent you. You are joint heirs with Christ, kings and priests. I have appointed you, I have called and chosen you for such a time as this. Do not neglect so great a gift, but rather press in and let every man make his calling and election sure. Keep your eyes fixed on Me and things of above, that you would continue to be strengthened by My Spirit and not made weak by the things of this life or the words of men. I am with you and I do give you the living water. I tell you this day, drink and thirst no more. Those who have ears to hear, (do) hear.

With love in Him,
Ryan

The Balance of Faith

Q: What is faith?

A: Faith is believing God, which is accounted to you as righteousness. Not just knowing. Not partial believing. It is believing every word relying on God for the understanding. Faith pleases God, there is no pleasing Him without it; therefore our faith is pleasure to God. It’s not the knowing Gods’ word that accounts to us for anything it the believing to the point of acting. Faith is the credible evidence within you that motives you to pursue the Way, the Truth and the Life (in the Holy Spirit) without regard for mans help or approval.

This is not meant to preach to the choir, but to show how to join the choir, the Kingdom of God Worship in Spirit and in Truth Choir. We at ESC, are by the will of God, intended to point the way to the truth. Jesus is Truth. The Holy Spirit leads into all Truth, all that Jesus was and is, that we might have Life in Him. It is what we are called to do; that is, pointing out truth for Gods’ glory, not our own. Truth, that some may come to the knowledge through understanding of what has been before their eyes but not seen, of what they have listened to but not heard (in some cases, most of their life). We don’t care what church you attend or where your money goes. We would rather people go elsewhere than to interfere with the unity of the Spirit (There is only one Spirit, if we donot agree, we are not of the same spirit). But the Holy Spirit cries out; Come out of, be Holy, be perfect, do not partake of the wrath to come on the whole earth. If the love of truth is within you, when you hear truth, you will know it by faith; because the Holy Spirit will bear witness of truth. The accumulated wisdom of man is foolishness to God, indeed it keeps man from the wisdom of Truth that the Holy Spirit alone can give. That is, if you can ask and have faith to receive and believe. Believe that God is who He said He was and would do what He said He would do (If we ask according to His will).

The “balance” of faith is where, what you believe, takes you, alters your life. As in, wisdom being proven of her children; your faith brings results into your life, now and to come. The wise and foolish virgins of Matthew 25 all knew the scriptures. The wise virgins coupled faith with their knowledge of the Words of God forming belief to be converted, to being renewed, transformed into the Mind Of Christ by the Holy Spirit. Believing what the Holy Spirit spoke in their ear allowing them to acquire the oil for their lamps, the Temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the generation that will not pass away till the return of the Lord. When Jesus returns will He find faith? Faith, that pleases Him? Only if you are found worthy to escape the wrath to come by being full of the Oil of Gladness, the Holy Spirit, will you please Him, then He will find faith at His return. Fore you were found doing the Masters will, not a hearer of the word only, but a doer of the word, by faith, pleasing God. Then you will hear the voice of the Master say, “Well done My good and faithful servant”.

Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit (Faith required here, because you would be looking for what the Spirit is saying NOW!), and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7Know ye therefore that they which are of faith (there is a difference between being aware of and believing, thinking and knowing, being static and acting on what you believe equalling faith), the same are the children of Abraham.

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, saith the Lord (Can you hear?).

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.

1 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

John 16:13 Howbeit 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 shew you things to come. (Not Dake, Matthew Henry, Scholfield, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Oral Roberts, Charles Stanley, Copeland or any man)

Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; (fellowship with the world, unbelief, doing what they want, not Gods’ will) 46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him (no ears to hear, no Baptism of the Holy Spirit to light the way to announce His return), and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes (this is in context of being with the unbelievers, greater damnation upon him, he is in Gods' eyes the blind leading the blind). 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes (still, an unbeliever, a cast away, weeping, wailing and gnashing their teeth await for their unbelief). For unto whomsoever much is given (the Truth, the Holy Spirit), of him shall be much required (walk in the Spirit): and to whom men have committed much (followers of a man, not God by the Holy Spirit) of him they will ask the more (give us of your oil, if he has it). 49I am come to send fire on the earth (division and judgment, fire to fan the smoldering wick to a hot fire or blow it out, fire to burn the chaff that surrounds the wheat that is good for nothing); and what will I, if it be already kindled (the day of judgment was in His heart thousands of years ago, already kindled, the day of wrath in His heart)? 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with (do you want it? The deposit of a portion of God our Father Himself); and how am I straitened till it be accomplished (the days of a wink or a nod allowing men to enter His presence end when the dispesation of grace ends when He who hinders will let. Straight is the way, narrow is the path, find it, even so come quickly Lord Jesus)!

Luke 11: 9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Ask nothing wavering, believing you will receive). 10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Romans 3:4...yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Dave

The Lord reminded me of the understanding of the cup that looked nice on the outside, but on the inside it was filthy and dirty. Then he spoke this word to me.
How will you never find me if you don't let go of what you perceive to be truth, and what you think is right and wrong? Without faith, there is no pleasing me. Unless you put down what you know and walk after my ways, with faith, believing that I am the only way, the only truth, and the only light, how could you ever please me? How will you find truth? You will not. You will never find me, you will never find peace, and you will live in fear.
I wish all would be saved, but men will not put down their vain beliefs. They will not put down their ideas and in their heart they love sin. Their feet run to mischief and they lie, cheat, and steal. I have called and they have ran and hid from my voice. I love you and so I will correct you for I would have you to walk in truth and in righteousness. I would have you to be without fear and to know me. Step out in faith and do not give time for the things of this world for they will profit you nothing. Love truth and hate the lie. My ways are better than your ways. Follow me. I will show you the way.

Then the Lord asked two questions. Why are you here?(at church) and Why do you do the things that you do?(at church and in our lives) It was for me but there is wisdom for all who read it. God showed me two answers that a lot of people's honest response would be. To please men, and to feel good about themselves. When people are "people pleasers," they will not find God. God is no respecter of persons and neither should we be. I'm not saying that we should disrespect anyone purposely, but what I am saying is that we need to put God first, and respect him and his will for us. When people go to church or do a good thing out of their own intentions to feel good about themselves, they have missed the whole point. They are walking down their own path and have missed God completely because they never come to the knowledge of who God is. They are a kind of people that reward themselves rather than let God bless them and give them everlasting rewards. They might do good things and have a good heart but, all the good that they do will not be accounted to them for righteousness because God didn't tell them to do it. God's will be done. Let it be done on his time, by his plan and not on ours ever. God then showed me that when people fall under these two answers to the two questions above, they have stopped being Christians,(Christ-like people) and have become religious and if they have truly ever found Jesus, then they have lost their first love. And those who are searching for God, but have never stopped trying in their own strength and have actually found him, will always be searching. They are ever wondering stars who pass God up. This is not to condemn but to encourage.
God bless, Chad
