Romans 8:6 For 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. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
The truth, is that before we are born again, we were dead to hearing the voice of God, that is unless God knocked you off a horse or an unusual event. The whole point of salvation is restoration to the place that man has fallen from. 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 you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Jesus, the way the truth and the life, our example, was filled with the Holy Spirit, He entered that rest by faith and the power of God. Jesus said that if we did His will, we would be filled with the Holy Spirit as well, entering that same rest. Rest from dead works, receiving the Holy Spirit, receiving the Mind of Christ, by faith. Yet, this is the difficultly of and for this generation. Luke 21:32 This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. That is, until the return of Jesus as King. Luke 18:8 …. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 9And he spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in them selves that they were righteous, and despised others.
The original apostles are gone, not walking in the earth. The only true authority that we all have access to is the Holy Spirit. There are apostles, prophets, teachers and workers of miracles, in the body of Christ, for the edification, building up of the body of Christ. They do exist. But, who are they? They are quietly being the servants of others. Many, who say that they are apostles or prophets are not, and to our shame, give them place.
Man being who and what we are, like the safety of numbers, the flock mentality. Ten million people can’t be wrong (or can they?). For us to doubt and not believe and trust what we hear is normal, especially in our own heart and spirit. As is says; Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? And, James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Additionally we have the evil to contend with; Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD… God, being faithful, knowing we are weak in the flesh has a way; Matthew 7:8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? Hebrews 11:1… faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.1 Corinthians 14:31 For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. We, knowing that mans heart is wicked, and we are able to deceive ourselves, is trumped by John 16:13…when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:… That is if; Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. The issue of today is perversion of truth, false prophet/prophecy and our ability and willingness to judge.
Revelation 2: 2I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Revelation2:19 I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first. 20Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer (allow) that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Most churches strongly teach; Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged. And a fleshly, carnal person would do well not to judge on outward appearance. Largely, churches do not want to be judged themselves for their inconsistencies with the Bible, the congregation not witnessing what is written therein, the way things should be. But we who are not caught up in the religious vacuum, who have come out to be separate and not partake of the wrath to come, are instructed in: 1 Corinthians 2:15…he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. On the surface the two scriptures seem to be opposing, yet both true. The understanding is summed up in: John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Thereby, the ability to know truth and to judge is given with the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth being in us, not just with us. Consequently though, with the gift, the knowledge and understanding, comes responsibility: Luke 12:48…..For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:… Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Those to who the Holy Spirit has been given, and do not rise to the Hebrews 5:14 (written above) example are likened to this: 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 have not sown, and gathering where you has not sown: 25And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth (earthen vessel): lo, there you have that is yours. 26His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful (lazy) servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not sown: 27You ought therefore to have put my money (power, ability) to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury (benefit). 28Take therefore the talent (gift) from him, and give it unto him which hath 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. 31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
We have a King to be faithful to, our Lord, Jesus. When you ask, He answers by the Holy Spirit. He does the Father’s will. Jesus sent us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to lead us in everything, at all times, in all truth. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. We can know what is true, spiritually, prophetically if we have died to ourselves, our every desire, our every lust, so that Jesus, the Anointing, the Holy Spirit can live in us, with power. We know truth/reality by faith in God who bears witness of truth, in truth/factually. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost. It is by faith in God, His Spirit, His ability to communicate with us that we please Him, just as Abraham believed. It is by this faith that if we have no earthly desires of self benefit or glory God faithfully responds to all our inquires. We cannot judge by sight. At times some men appear to be holy and their words may contain truth. That person may be deceived or a deceiver. Both could repent, but the deceived may not have hardened his heart, so we may speak the truth in love, as the Spirit leads. The deceiver most likely knows the error and may be beyond repentance: 1 Timothy 4:2....having their conscience seared with a hot iron. God knows the difference and what to do about it, it is up to us to ask, then, be faithful in what we hear. Sometimes speaking, sometimes withdrawing because; Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ (the Anointed with the Holy Spirit), hath not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ (Anointed), he hath both the Father and the Son. 10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
The day being evil, the issue at hand, is false apostles, false prophets and false prophecies. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not. 4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
How can we know? John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Matthew 7:16You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Ephesians 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Luke 7:35 But wisdom is justified of all her children. John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
What do we do? 2 John 1:11 For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part has he that believes with an infidel?
Some of those who are caught in the Jezebel spirit possibly came from truly seeking, until iniquity, lust, was found in them; James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. God gives them space to repent, but: Matthew 7:21Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does 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 your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. Most of the Jezebel spirit, can and will say Jesus is Lord, which does not mean that He is their Lord or that they are your brother. The allure of power or self exaltation, their own lust, allows them to speak words that seduce Gods servants; To commit fornication or have a spiritual relationship with other spirits that are not from God and truth, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols or things that contain the essence of appeal of the earthly nature, lust, pride, power which are rebellion against God, witchcraft. 2 Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? From whence then has it tares? 28He said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him, Will you then that we go and gather them up? 29But he said, No; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up also the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
It's just about reaping time. Make your calling and election sure, be full of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth.

I Will Judge Them
From church (7/27/08):
I chasten those who I love. I lead those who are willing to die to themselves and be led into all truth by My Spirit. I correct those who are My own that they may know the path of righteousness and they would not depart from the way. But in the midst of this wicked and perverse generation, who has allowed Me to call them My own, letting the wisdom of this world become foolishness to them and accepting My yoke? I am not a hard task-master for those who know the liberty of My Spirit know that My yoke is easy and that My burden is light. I tell you this day, those who do not live by the words of My mouth will not stand in the days to come. For they will love the words of men, the approval of men, more than deliverance.
Hosea 5:6-7
6They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
To those who do not heed My words, to the shepherds that do teach their flocks to err, I say shall I have anything to do with them? Because of their pride, they would not hear Me and they walk not according to the leading of My Spirit. I hate a proud look and a haughty spirit. I say for all of their wrong-doings, for loving to hear themselves speak and to take My people captive, I will judge them. They will call after Me but I will not hear them in the times to come for they have chosen the wisdom of man over the truth of My word, over the liberty of My Spirit.
The Lord also showed me a brief vision:
I saw a tree planted by the river and it was growing stronger, eventually branching out that others may rest in the shade of its branches for a season. I understood that this is what the Lord has called many of us to be in these immediate times (that the weak may become strong even as the Lord is making us strong by His Spirit).
Love in Jesus,
Ryan

Word, Comment & Scripture 7/27/08
Who so ever will may come. I delight in those who delight in Me. My Spirit speaks to all who can and will give ear. What more should I do? What more can I do? Every man seeks his own way. Every man is right in his own mind. They do not question whether their ways are acceptable to Me. I said, Be holy, be perfect. Yet, they offer the sacrifice of Cain, second best. Should I delight in those who keep the best for themselves? My yoke is easy. All I require is your heart, by faith. Yet, to many, that is more than they are willing to give. Should they be found worthy? Some say, “They are not evil”. But, I say to them, look upon their hearts, where is the fruit I require of every man? I judge in righteousness and truth, not blinded by earthly love of truth (convenient love of truth). It is in a mans heart to seek Me or it is not. No man can serve two masters. Even though pleasing Me has eternal benefits, who can choose apart from faith, believing truth?
If you do not love truth more than this life, you are not worthy of My love, My gift, the price I paid. For what effect did My love have on your life if you continue to provide (works, storing up treasures) for your self? You have no faith (believing Jesus/God’s word in His way, the Holy Spirit) in Me. Riches (mammon/worldly desires) deceive and blind to truth. The poor of the earth are given to be rich in faith. (A simple lesson/truth that we can see with our own eyes, intended to be proof of God’s word/faithfulness.) Your answer does not lay in money, finances, mammon, it lays in the condition of your heart towards Me. The double minded receive nothing. In the times to come they will not even benefit from rain.
Whosoever will may come and drink of the riches of My Spirit. They may be full to overflowing, becoming a source of refreshing themselves. Yet, it requires faith, for no man can drink of My goodness without it.
Comment: Time is running out as fast as the days of the months. How many days does the world, do you have before tribulation, until your option of being full of the “Oil of Gladness”, the Holy Spirit, the lamp oil of the wise virgins, runs out? Not many. After the start of tribulation, which is the sound of the bridegroom coming, the oil you will then desire will not be obtainable. It is the “Seal” that covers.
Rev. 6:6… see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Rev. 9:3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
John 3:33 He that hath received his (Jesus) testimony (the Holy Spirit) hath set to his seal that God is true. 34For he whom God hath sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him. 35The Father loves the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear, is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.25These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 16:13Howbeit 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.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go you out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Revelation 3:17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18I counsel you to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that thou may see. 19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
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.

Word & Scripture 7/20/08
How is it that you have no patience? How is it that you seek temporal pleasures to pacify yourself rather than have peace, being alone with Me? I tell you this day, do not be wise in your own eyes, but understand by My Spirit. All you see now will pass away. It is earthly, to love the earthly is enmity with Me. In patience you posses your soul. In your ability not to lust after the joys of the flesh you rule over your heart. Judge yourself, for judgment surely comes and will fall upon you lest you fall upon Me. Cast all your cares on Me and do not pick them up again, but believe that I will provide. I will bring before you what I have for you. Do not seek it yourself, fulfilling your own hearts desires. Trust in Me.
Do not be a hearer of My words only, but apply faith and believe. For what good will My wisdom do if you choose your own? What benefit are dreams and visions if you do nothing about them? What good are words of truth if you do not value them? If you do not seek understanding? Do not deceive yourself and be unwise. Though you may have My Spirit, without My truth you cannot do My will, you cannot please Me. The double minded receive nothing. They withhold blessing from others. They have no peace, no lasting joy, they seek to please themselves. They seek to heal self inflicted wounds with their own wisdom rather than trusting Me. They teach others to do likewise. They cast a stumbling block before those who they influence. Gifts are given without repentance, that does not ensure your calling and election, doing My will pleases Me.
Flesh; Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not full fill the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Romans 8:7 The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.)
Spirit; Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit (evidence that He is in your life)is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (1 Corinthians 2:16… we have the mind of Christ.)
Those who pervert truth, those who cover evil and say it was good, are deceived and refuse truth. (They) Refuse to be set free to walk in light. Though I give them space to repent, they enjoy the power of emotion to twist truth for their own feelings. Am I mocked? Do I not know that they know truth? I tell you they eat the apple (fruit) of challenge. They force Me to judge even though I love them. I will not bless idolatry, witchcraft, the spirit of Jezebel.
Come, be healed of your wounds. Be made whole. Take understanding, hold fast to truth, do not succumb to the sins of your fathers (earthly). Be free, be free, again I say to you, be free and watch My hand, (watch) Me. For your deception keeps you from My blessings. I have power to make you whole. I have power to turn your mourning into joy. I have the peace that you desire. Perfect love casts out all fear, with no torment.

Do not be a hearer of My words only, but apply faith and believe. For what good will My wisdom do if you choose your own? What benefit are dreams and visions if you do nothing about them? What good are words of truth if you do not value them? If you do not seek understanding? Do not deceive yourself and be unwise. Though you may have My Spirit, without My truth you cannot do My will, you cannot please Me. The double minded receive nothing. They withhold blessing from others. They have no peace, no lasting joy, they seek to please themselves. They seek to heal self inflicted wounds with their own wisdom rather than trusting Me. They teach others to do likewise. They cast a stumbling block before those who they influence. Gifts are given without repentance, that does not ensure your calling and election, doing My will pleases Me.

A Sense of Urgency
Ryan and I were chatting yesterday morning. He said that he was feeling a sense of urgency and stirred to pray for what I would term, “marginal Christians”, so that they would come into the fullness of the Holy Spirit in truth. A Godly heartfelt desire to be sure. In considering what was on my heart, waiting on God, I felt urged to write this. God is truth. God’s words are true and truth. Because He spoke them, He will honor and perform them, by His Spirit. God judges the heart of man as to know if they seek His will or their own lusts. He considers if they believe truth, in faith, or if they are double minded. God knows if they have resisted Him in the past and only call on Him in calamity, or if they believe and trust Him completely. The Father knows if they love truth, or if they hold to the lies and sins of their fathers pride. The actual truth, or reality of their heart makes the outcome of their prayers inconsistent with God's will. God does make it to rain, or give blessings, on the just and the unjust. Further, He is long suffering that all could be saved. On the other hand, God will not be mocked, if a man sows truth in his life, he will reap in truth. If he sows in unbelief, the flesh or perversion of truth, he will reap what he has sown into, eternally.
It renders down to this; partial truth is not all truth that the Holy Spirit leads into. Wanting a religious preacher or teacher to say you’re “fine” or seeking the approval of a man does not mean you are. Worshipping God in Spirit and in truth is different than a praising God pep rally exciting the team spirit, lasciviousness, just like the world. Being obedient to the Holy Spirit is different than sacrifice and works. There is one truth, God’s truth. No man enters heaven because of a denomination, or a man, or what he believes apart from truth. We love God because He loved us first. Our duty is to seek, knock and find truth. To love truth with all our heart. To hold fast to truth patiently waiting for God’s will to be done in the earth. Not all men that do “miracles” are from God, or does He even know them. Not all men who say they are Christians, are, in fact. Very few people who say “Jesus is Lord” actually know His Holy Spirit, who is suppose to lead them, in truth, in reality, by hearing His voice. Most people who say that the can hear the Holy Spirit are not believed or trusted. Some who say they can hear the Holy Spirit are actually listening to other spirits, devils, as well.
God is not divided or confused, man is. Man is confused because of not believing that God can and will do what He said. Man is confused by not believing every written word, which reveals that salvation gives opportunity to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the “Promise” of the Father, written in the Old Testament. That opportunity is, “The power to become Sons and daughters, by doing God’s will, being filled with His Holy Spirit. (This truth is well beyond sin nature and baptisms, it is living a life that pleases God.) Man is confused by relying on his own intellect rather than being able to hear truth by the Holy Spirit. Man is confused by false doctrines, which are stumbling blocks. Often, when error is pointed out, the one who holds to a false doctrine becomes offended, because he loves the lie, he or she is comfortable in their deception. There is one Holy Spirit of God, sent by Jesus. That one and only Spirit of God is the same throughout the whole world. He alone is able to reveal truth to man, you actually have need of no other teacher once you believe and can hear. Any teaching, of a man, that is not 100% true has a portion of death in it, because it is a lie, it cannot stand before God. Most men are not wise enough to remove themselves from things that will kill them, look at the letters in Revelation to the seven churches. They love the lie more than truth, they have left their first love or never loved truth in reality. Most men think that they will be just fine standing before the living God, counting on the mercy of God, rather than knowing truth, unwise!
If you believed that the tribulation period was about to start and there was no pre-tribulation rapture, wouldn’t it make sense to die to ones self that Christ, the Anointing, the Holy Spirit could live in you and direct your life? Well it is true. A time like has never been before, or will be again, is at the door. A time so stressful that men’s hearts will fail for fear. A time when God Himself will send delusion on man to believe lies. We must die to ourself, bury what we believe apart from truth, so that we may be found worthy to escape the wrath to come. So that we may accept deliverance by our faith. We must die to the natural mans way of thinking that the "Mind of Christ" be in us. We must die to what would make sense to the way of the world so that we "live by faith". God’s way, truth and life, is faith in His promise. It is about believing God and His words, not always understanding everything (though that will come, if we believe). It’s faith that pleases God, trusting all His counsel. Taking every word of God as though your life depended on it, which, by the way, it does. Faith says, “In the beginning, God”. It’s all about God, His will, His truth, Life in His Spirit, not at all by any wisdom man has to offer. Faith in God is trusting all that He says, not a select portion, which is double minded. Being double minded is a little of both faith and the world, you don’t please God or yourself, trying to serve two masters. Being carnal or earthly minded is more what we can see and touch, not trusting in the unseen, what God can or will do, the end of which is eternal separation from the love of God. Being earthly minded keeps us from entering the truth of faith, "Life in the Spirit".
Now, today, is the last “time” before He who hinders, or holds back evil, will let or allow it to come. Now is the time that the Holy Spirit cries out the message of, “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What fellowship does Christ have with the devil? What part does he that believes have with an infidel? What agreement does the temple of God have with idols? You are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from among the unbelievers, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty”. Also the Spirit is saying, “Know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God”. Again the Spirit says, “Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities”. It is in the same spirit or essence of the message that John the Baptist preached. It is the message of truth that Jesus revealed, wheat and weeds have all grown together. When Jesus returns, he is hoping to find truth and faith in us who remain.
The “Gospel” or “Good News” is only “good” to the doers of God’s will. It is judgment to the doubtful, fearful and unbelieving. No man will stand before God and say, “I didn’t know”. Our whole duty is to find truth, God is truth, His ways are in truth. Life in the Spirit is not about looking Holy, it is about being Holy by God’s measure, in His HolySpirit and in Truth. God’s heart is that all would be saved, but it is up to us to find truth. If we come up to truth and do not recognize it, it is our unbelief that holds us back. Jesus came so that we could be restored to “Life in the Spirit” as Adam and Eve walk in before the fall of man. Jesus came to pay the price of sin so we could know truth in our hearts (the reverse of eating the forbiddeen fruit), not just our head, not in word only. Jesus came and gave us a way, in truth; “Life in God’s Spirit”, even though few there be that find it. Many talk about truth, but it cannot be found apart from faith. Many desire to “Walk in the Spirit” but it cannot be done with earthly understanding. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death, free to worship in Spirit and in truth. The servant abides not in the house for ever, but a son or daughter abides forever, make your calling and election sure. It takes you stepping out in faith and in truth to please the Father by believing what Jesus said; "When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:", "I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.", "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".
Isaiah 28:11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
John 8:31.... If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free? 34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

Who Can Hear It?
Today, as James and I were fellowshipping with one another, the Lord spoke this:
There is an urgency in the Spirit to draw close to God while there is still time. I pray that we are obedient and that we would make our calling and election sure this day. Pray that you are found worthy to be hid in the day of trouble.
Love in Him,
Ryan
Look to the east, for the darkness comes quickly. But I ask, who can hear it, who can see it and believe all that I show them? I have held off my judgment that the people of this great nation would repent, but they have chosen to trust in the arm of man. I will not delay. All that I have spoken will quickly come upon them. Those who are appointed to the sword will fall by the sword. Many will eat and not be satisfied. They will drink and continue to thirst. If they would have turned unto Me and if they would have been obedient to ask Me for living waters I would have spared them, but they chose not.
Come and draw close to Me this day, before that great and terrible day comes. Come and hear Me this day, that I may warn you of all that is to come. I will not hold back. I will pour out wisdom and give you understanding if you only obey My voice.

I Am Able, Are You Willing?
The Lord spoke this to me while at church yesterday:
Let the living waters flow freely out of you My people. For only those who have chosen to love truth and have settled it in their hearts that I alone and the way, the truth and the life can be filled to overflowing. It is to you who I speak saying let the rivers of living water flow out of your bellies that all who hear may see and know that I am God. And that I have not left My people powerless.
Behold, even as I speak to you now I say write and hold not back these words: As the day of darkness draws near, I tell you many will turn against you and speak great swelling words that they may justify their own sin. But I tell you, be not dismayed and let no man take your peace for I the Lord have spoken to you saying this day will come quickly. Judge ever man according to the truth that My Spirit reveals to you, for in doing this you become wise and do see their end even from the beginning. In obedience to My Spirit (doing My will) you will know how to answer every man.
During our time of fellowship at my house the night before, the Lord gave me a vision and an understanding. Although I did not write it down, the Lord brought it to remembrance during church and gave me more understanding:
From the top, I saw a very steep, rocky path that led down the side of a mountain. Looking down, I could see that the path was a very difficult one to climb (large, jagged rocks sticking out everywhere) and it seemed to be hidden from most (large overhangs and rock formations stretched over the path). It was also difficult to see all the way down to the bottom of the mountain. As I was overlooking the path, it was clear to me that without some type of support or help (God leading us by His Spirit), it was impossible to climb. I also understood that it represented the path of righteousness that God had set before us. He had brought us through so much and it was easy to spend a long time looking back at what He has taken us out of and through. The Lord then spoke to me saying: Great is the fall. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Many have fallen because they were not planted on the Rock (Jesus, truth) and their foot did slip. I tell you, stand on that which is sure and trust that I alone am able to keep you from falling, to keep your foot from slipping. Let the cares of this life and the thoughts of the past (who you were) go for you are mine and none can pluck you from My hand. I am able (to keep you from falling, to bring you unto perfection, to write My words upon your heart, to heal the wounds that were passed down, to provide your every need even before you ask--why ask anything for yourself, to be your best friend and teach you all things by My Spirit). Are you willing (to let Me take you unto perfection, to give no thought to the words of men, to be not easily offended, to love Me with all that you are even until the end)?
Love in Him,
Ryan

Today during lunch I recieved a word. It blessed me and may bless others (which is why I am posting it). I pray that who it was for, will have ears to hear it and the freindship of God behind it. God Bless-Carm
Have joy for I have sanctioned you. Flow freely through this world as if it doesn't touch you, but rather you (I through you) touch it. Let my spirit be your only bond. The religous love their chains and wear them proudly for show. Freedom is your portion and affliction will be theirs. Our walk together is sweet to me. I desire to show you, to commune my heart to yours. Your heart hasnever been hidden from me, I know all it's content. But do you believe that? Do you trust that I have it in good plans? Expose your heart not so I can see it, but so you can see mine. Open your doors to see my will (all that my spirit can touch through you). Don't underestimate what seems small matters. The little things will do great glory to Me. I will bless you my daughter.

Judgment and Encouragment
These are some words and understandings the Lord has given me over the past month or so. These are in the order I received them.
My name, my name is higher. Yet I hold my word even higher. The path of righteousness, though many have tried to walk upon it, only to whom it was given could stand in the way. Blind, without knowledge, blasphemers, without natural affection, whores, liars, them that steal, perverter's of truth, the blind lead the blind. Woe unto them for my eyes are upon all their ways. I will drop my word upon them, and as a hammer breaks in pieces, so shall they be broken without hand. Speak my words. Do not hold back. My judgment falls upon the earth. Rejoice oh you heavens! Rejoice oh you earth! For the Lord brings his light unto them in darkness and he shall finish his work from the foundation of time. I will wait no longer. Time is at an end. Be faithful. Watch. When you see me will you be like me?
1SA 2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
1SA 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
1SA 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
1SA 2:4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
1SA 2:5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
1SA 2:6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
1SA 2:7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
1SA 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them.
1SA 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
1SA 2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
A few years ago the Lord showed me a vision and it seems as though just now I have received the understanding. I saw an airplane, it was a small jet maybe 100 passengers, flying above the clouds. A brother and I were sitting midway, he was by the window and I was sitting close to the isle way. I could see in th cockpit from where I was sitting, the door was open. I saw the pilot and another man speaking to one another. All of a sudden they started to shout, speaking into the radio: ABORT! ABORT!. Franticly they tried to reach someone on the radio, flipping buttons and switches continuing their plea. My vision suddenly shifted to out side again, and I was looking over the plane from the left as it flew and I saw the smoke trail of a missile heading towards the plane. I wondered if it was going to hit but as I watched it started to curve, barely missing the tail of the plain. Again I was inside it seemed for a moment all was calm, the danger passed. Back outside again I saw another missile heading from the ground ( the other missile was not from the ground but somewhere else). The missile quickly struck the left wing of the plane, destroying that wing. There was not even enough time to call for help. I watched the plane until is descended below the clouds and I could no longer see it. When I received the vision then I understood some things, but I left it at what I saw not knowing what it was and then on Sunday at church the Lord showed me another vision. I saw Obamah and he was standing with another man holding a piece of paper. I saw Obamah sign the paper and after he was done I saw the man holding it smile, roll up the paper, and put it in his pocket. I head the Lord say of the man holding the paper "Communists". Then the Lord told me that what was done in this vision would cause the downfall of this nation. This is the understanding of those visions the Lord gave me. The plane is this nation. The first missile is whats happening now and has been happening, economic crisis in this nation and probably much more than that as well. Though bad and even a judgment in itself, it has taken this nations eyes off the second missile coming from the ground. The second missile is the vision of Obamah. While Obamah may or may not know, his agreement will allow the enemy to make a strike against this nation of which she will not recover. May God have mercy on us. To them who have ears to ear, Come out and be separate, do not be partakers of her sin for it has reached before God and his throne. He will no longer stand for her ignorance, but he will judge a righteous judgment. All that has been spoken by his faithful servants and his prophets will and are coming to pass for he will not delay any longer. Wait on him you who have and let no man take your crown. Be confident the Lord is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him and do not faint. May we be found worthy to stand in His wrath to come. All power and glory to God alone and to His son Jesus by whom we have received our atonement.
Be obedient unto me my children. I sustain, I accomplish my will in you. The cry has been made, the call gone forth. Who has counted the cost? Who has lost their lives to gain me and held nothing back? I tell you, those who held back shall be as those who refused to come. For who has chosen and said within their heart, I will serve the Lord with all I am? Trust in me my faithful, my chosen, the elect of God. For I am with you to strengthen you. The days are short. Believe ever word I have spoken. Trial upon trial, the just live by faith, renewed day by day, glory unto glory, shining more and more unto the perfect day. That which I will who shall withhold? It is my will that you be made strong in me, purged of all that hinders. That in every part you would be made whole as I am whole and perfect. I would not have any less. Do not dought, do not be weary in your well doing. There is an end and better is it than the beginning. Judgment upon my house. Those who have lived in want, who perverted truth, shall I cast out. Because they sought me not nor called upon me that they might know the difference. The axe is laid to the root. I shall burn all that does not bear fruit. I shall purge, I shall refine those who remain. Those who answered when I called, who trusted that I was able. Look behold your way. Every mountain I make low, every valley made level. I am the author and the finisher of your faith. Mighty signs and wonders. I will glorify myself in you my people. The weak and the lame, the poor and the fatherless. Let them come.
The Lord reminded me of a vision I had a little while ago when I was praying for understanding about those who seem to have gifts (healing in particular) but nothing they do lines up with the Spirit or scripture. I saw a green tree that had some fruit on it planted by a river. But as I watched my view shifted and I was above the river now. To my surprise the river wasn't a river but just a branch of a much larger one. I could now see everything as though I was looking from space. I saw the main part of the river and I saw many branches coming off of it. As I watched I saw the branches of the river slowly start to dry up until all that remained was the main river. Immediately after the branches dried up, I saw the earth shake violently. I saw mountains rise up on either side of the river so that it was inaccessible from any direction. The Lord gave me this understanding. The river is the Holy Spirit; the branched represent this time of mercy when Gods Spirit still dwells with men, drawing and calling them. But as it is written his Spirit will not always dwell with men. Those who are planted by the branches are those who are or were drawn, but for whatever reason they didn't come to the fullness, the main river. Those who remain there, by these branches, will perish with those who never came, outside the door, weeping and gnashing their teeth. The only refuge is for those who have been planted by the main river, who main source of water will never run dry. The shaking I saw is that time when the Lord will cut off his spirit from the earth, the door being shut, and no longer will there be access to the Holy Spirit but to them who already have it (and have kept their first love).
Let every ear hear and let every eye see that I am the Lord, God of heaven and of earth. Who shall come before me? Who shall declare unto me the time. I have chosen but who shall stay the path? I have given freely but who has not been lifted up with pride? Every mans work shall be tried. Every line, every precept, whether it will stand or whether it will fall. My path is the high path and my walk the higher walk. Turn unto me you who have eyes, look upon me, for my countenance shines upon you. The weight of my glory, all that I have, I pour out upon you. Receive; believe that I am a rewarder of them that seek me. Am I enough? Come stand before me, what is it you desire? Is it only I? What is the pearl of great price? It is not any gift that you consider, that which can be used or thrown, tangible in your hands. It is I and only I. But who has loved me more than anything in this life? All in all, all I am, all that you need. Let all know, let all see, I am.
PR 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
PR 6:7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
PR 6:8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
PR 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
PR 6:10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
PR 6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
PR 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
PR 6:13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
PR 6:14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
PR 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
PR 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
PR 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
PR 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
PR 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
PR 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
PR 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
PR 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
PR 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
The Lord showed me a vision and I was holding a pearl in my hand. It seemed like a pearl, nothing out of the ordinary. But as I held it, it exploded in my hand, bursting forth light, so much that you could barley look upon it. Then I saw the Lord and all he said was "Do not forget what I have shown you". Though personal to things I have been going through, I felt stirred this vision was not just for me. We cannot forget whom we serve and why we serve him. The cares of this life easily cloud. When we take our eyes off him, when we let worry set in, when we lose our first love, that pearl which shone so brightly loses it luster, and it become invaluable to us, for other things seem brighter. We cannot let this happen. Now is that time when the Lord is refining us, purging us, making us whole, that he may show himself strong throughout the earth. Let us not be weary, let us not be faint, let the violent take it by force. May we learn to draw from our own well, drinking from our own cistern, for in the times to come every man must stand on his own before God. Be encouraged, the Lord knows and sees all things. Let us run our race, being faithful to the end, for them that endure shall receive a crown incorruptible.
Grace and peace to them that seek his face,
Austin

Word 7/13/08
Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Because of iniquity the love of many will grow cold. Guard your heart. Do not let your liberty be an occasion to sin. Do not let your anger bring destruction on yourself, being not in control of your earthen vessel. Let My word be your limit and bound, My rod and My staff comfort. Yet, for anxiousness can you go past My cover? (Out from under God’s wing or from behind His shield, protection.) Be strong in Me and the power of My might, not your arm of strength.
What more shall I do? The pride of the Pharisee has risen in the heart of the religious. Though they name Me as their Lord, their heart takes My word and builds a bridge that goes to prison. They build a house that becomes a jail, without the key. (Luke 11:52 Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.) They take captive the young and pliable/impressionable and make My seed like unto themselves. Who can escape? Who can know truth? Who can be taught to love truth and the touch of My hand, My Spirit? Who will know their light is darkness? They have come to love the collar of a servant. They have no desire to be free, to walk in the light of sons and daughters.
Worship in Spirit, worship in truth. In the Spirit, those (we) who are joined to God (by the Holy Spirit) are of one Spirit, all truth is yours (ours). (By hearing the voice of God, through the Holy Spirit, by receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we hear truth. By faith we act upon that truth beyond the discipline of the flesh. Hence, doing the will of God, not obeying accepted norm behavior, but serving from the heart) Without the Spirit (In truth/fact, even though they say and think that they are, do not “bear witness” in truth.) they are fleshly (earthly), limited by man. The blind cannot see the difference, the deaf cannot hear the call to come higher. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Matthew 7:21Not 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. Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be you not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 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.
No one can say Jesus was accursed by the Spirit of God. (1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God called Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.) On having once tasted (the Holy Spirit), to turn back is (be to) accursed (certain eternal death). (Hebrews 6:4 For 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. But, conditionally: Luke 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desires new: for he says, The old is better.) But I say to you, those who never actually tasted and pass judgment are blind and deaf (and dead already, for they deny truth and keep others from it). Being faithful in the very little (so they think and say, but not doing the will of God) with no opportunity to grow (themselves, because of unbelief, in Spirit or in truth), they deny truth. (Denying the truth of God and putting education or works for the truth of God, which is life in the Holy Spirit by receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and God Himself teaching us by the Holy Spirit, literally/actually.)
Those who deny truth ride on the back of Satan, the Dragon. (Revelation 17:…and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her…) They have persecuted the true saints of God, for they (the true saints) have not been a majority since the apostles (time). Revealed now, in these last days (since the out pouring of the Holy Spirit, i.e. Azusa Street); so God can and will show Himself strong in all the earth, (Proving His will) by those who make their calling and election sure, by following after the Spirit of God with their whole heart no matter were He lead, including personal change, dying to ourselves/to who we are in the natural/flesh so that Christ/the Anointing can live and be seen by others.
Obnoxious behavior is not acceptable. The apostles are not your example (as good as they were), be like Jesus, meek and mild in Spirit.

To Those Who Believe
To those who believe, all things are possible. To you who I have called My own, I tell you the confidence you have in Me is that whatsoever you will ask of Me in My Son's name will be given to you. Who will walk in wisdom and have understanding in this, this day? Who will be transformed by the renewing of their mind? Who will have faith to believe these words and see the end (from the beginning) even this day? My Spirit speaks daily saying, "Come and enter in to My rest." Who will let no unbelief be found in them? Who will accept all that I offer, even the revelation of who I am? To you who love truth more than anything of this world, you who have kept your first love, I say come and learn of Me this day, nothing doubting. I am faithful to perform all that I have spoken.
Love in Him,
Ryan

Only As My Spirit Leads
From yesterday (7/15/08) during church:
I look for those who will find rest in Me, those who take pleasure in having fellowship with their Father. For this to be so in you, you must let doubt and fear flee that faith may arise within you. I look for those who will wait patiently on Me, knowing to walk and speak only as My Spirit leads. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will have their fill if they only wait on Me to provide and if they become not satisfied with the words and doctrines of men. Is My word not perfect? Did I not declare it even before the foundations of the earth were laid? My word is forever and it will not return unto Me void.
The Lord also stirred me the night before while were praying at my house. He said this:
Those who do not walk in the Spirit will fulfill the lusts of the flesh (pride, haughtiness, desire to rule over God's inheritance).
Comment: God desires that we discern good and evil. To those who He has given His Spirit (those who have chosen to die to themselves and accept all that He has for them), you are told to judge all things by that Spirit of truth. Those who say that they walk in truth and love God, but in reality are not obedient to what He tells them to do, they will fulfill the lusts of the flesh and God will have nothing to do with them. We must know the difference. We ought to obey God rather than men.

Be Who You Are Called To Be
From yesterday (7/9/08) during prayer:
Narrow is the way, strait is the gate and few there be that find it. But I ask, who can walk the path of righteousness that is set before them, forsaking all else that they may walk in obedience to the leading of My Spirit? The days that lay ahead are dark days and only those who have kept their first love will be able to stand.
I tell you, press in My people. Do not let up, do not delay for soon I will send strong delusion and only those who have drawn close to My side will know peace and truth in that day. I desire that you drink the living waters daily that you would not become weary in well-doing and that you would be able to continually feed those who are hungry for truth. Hear Me this day for I tell you, look to the end of your salvation. See who I have called you to be, who I see you to be. You are not your own for I have bought you with a price, I have called you out of darkness and into the light. It is I who will lift you up in due season. Only be obedient to all that I have told you to do. Pray without ceasing, live by every word that comes out of My mouth, and be ready to answer every man, knowing all that they have need of before they even ask.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The Lord gave me understanding that we will know as we are known by God. If we believe God and choose to see the end of our salvation now, the end of who God has called us to be, we all things would be possible to us. The Lord then spoke this to me:
This is the end of your faith. This is what I desire for you to know now by My Spirit for if you know all that I have called you to do, if you understood all that I have called you to be, surely you would find pleasure in waiting on your ministry. Have faith. Believe Me. Let this day be the day that you enter in to the fullness of what I have for you, nothing doubting.
Love in Him,

Narrow is the way, strait is the gate and few there be that find it. But I ask, who can walk the path of righteousness that is set before them, forsaking all else that they may walk in obedience to the leading of My Spirit? The days that lay ahead are dark days and only those who have kept their first love will be able to stand.
I tell you, press in My people. Do not let up, do not delay for soon I will send strong delusion and only those who have drawn close to My side will know peace and truth in that day. I desire that you drink the living waters daily that you would not become weary in well-doing and that you would be able to continually feed those who are hungry for truth. Hear Me this day for I tell you, look to the end of your salvation. See who I have called you to be, who I see you to be. You are not your own for I have bought you with a price, I have called you out of darkness and into the light. It is I who will lift you up in due season. Only be obedient to all that I have told you to do. Pray without ceasing, live by every word that comes out of My mouth, and be ready to answer every man, knowing all that they have need of before they even ask.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The Lord gave me understanding that we will know as we are known by God. If we believe God and choose to see the end of our salvation now, the end of who God has called us to be, we all things would be possible to us. The Lord then spoke this to me:
This is the end of your faith. This is what I desire for you to know now by My Spirit for if you know all that I have called you to do, if you understood all that I have called you to be, surely you would find pleasure in waiting on your ministry. Have faith. Believe Me. Let this day be the day that you enter in to the fullness of what I have for you, nothing doubting.

Word and Scripture 7/9/08
Better is the day of understanding than the day of joy/salvation. For by it you (can) make your calling and election sure. You take hold of the “Promise of the Father”. You break free of the fear of death to the liberty of worshiping in (the Holy) Spirit and in truth. (John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:)
(Lord) Look to the east My son. What do you see? (I answer) A dark cloud. (Lord) Where did this dark cloud come from? (I answer) I do not know. (Lord) You have seen it before; it is the darkness of hypocrites, the shame of the proud. The hiding cover of the light that reveals truth. It is the destroyer of the weak and the lame. What will you do about it? (I answer) I will speak the truth. I will tell Your people to look through the cloud for it cannot hide truth, only make it cloudy to the weak/foolish/double minded. (Lord) You have well spoken, yet this would I add to you; My Kingdom is in power and in truth, not in confusion and showmanship. Judge those who seek their own. The Holy Spirit bears witness of those who are Mine.
(Lord) Look My son, what do you see? (I answer) I see muddy water. (Lord) Of a truth, that is what you see. Why is the water muddy? (I answer) The proud have tread heavily (works) to make the water muddy. (Lord) True, that is what they have done. They think for their much speaking they are in control. Oh foolish man, they tread in water of My making, they make murky the simplicity of My word, though they themselves understand not. Yet they speak. They wear the mantle of office that I did not give them. They judge one an other, but not according to truth. They speak and say, “Thus saith the Lord”, that which I have not spoken. These are those who make My people to follow after false prophets and devils. What should I do? (I answer) Judge a righteous judgment according to truth. (Lord) So shall I judge those who handle My vessels unworthily. Who do not love truth more than the admiration of men. Those who have sown weeds in My field, in which I delight, will know I do not reward good for evil.
(Lord) What do you see My son? (I answer) I see a star. (Lord) It is I who you see. I am set before your face and all those who love truth. Fix your eyes upon Me. Do not look to the right or the left. Do not consider the darkness on every side, for in it is fear. It is My countenance that shines upon you to lead you to Myself. The closer you come the brighter I will appear. Those around you will see My reflection, as the moon reflects the sun. It is enough (light) to see in otherwise total darkness when I remove My Spirit from man. Only those who look to Me now will know where I am to be found. Know truth. I am truth. I do not change or hide My face. I will be found of those who seek Me.
Those who live carelessly before Me are as those who slumber (spiritually) and those who love this world. They are not even as the foolish virgins (Matt 25, less than foolish, at enmity with God).
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (works).
James 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Scripture of Confirmation:
Proverbs 2:1My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Note:
Truth is 100%. God is eternal deathly serious. The foolish virgins of Matthew 25 and the unprofitable servants are locked out castaways. Weeping,wailing and nashing their teeth is their portion with the fearful and unbelieving. God warned us. Come out of religion. You are responsible for your salvation. Read Gods word and do not lean to the understanding given you by man. God is not a hard task master but He requires 100% of your heart.

Scriptures and Word 7/6/08
Given by the Holy Spirit, these scriptures are timely and have great value if you have ears to hear, if the Holy Spirit gives you understanding.
Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house: but the foolish plucks it down with her hands. 2He that walks in his uprightness fears the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despises him. 3In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
Proverbs 12:17 He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18There is that speaks like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy. 21There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
James 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whither soever the governor listeth. 5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! 6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. 13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5Do ye think that the scripture says in vain, The spirit that dwells in us lust to envy? 6But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Word: My word testifies (verifies/confirms) of truth. The Holy Spirit bears witness of truth, the gift of the Father, confirms all truth. You have what is mine, walk uprightly in truth. Do not fulfill the lusts and envies of the flesh. I will repay all who harm My little ones. I will reward all those who die to themselves, that My name be glorified.
Blessed are the hands that lift up the hands (that are doing Gods’ will), a prophets reward is theirs.
The Lord gave me this example of the value of being a support to receive a reward:
Exodus 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. 10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
All Israel was blessed and received benefit from Aaron and Hur. Their reward was the same as Moses. You speaking up or testifying of what the Lord speaks or shows you to confirm another’s word or vision, receives the same reward. Be “Faithful”.
The ox are out of the pen, the sheep have scattered in the high pasture, the storm is before you, make ready.

What God is doing in the Earth Today!
How would prepare you for a drought of the Holy Spirit? What would it take to be able to sustain your life when; “The mystery of iniquity (that) does already work: only He who now lets will let, until He (Holy Spirit) be taken out of the way”? If we are called to walk in our own “Righteousness” as Job, Noah and Daniel, how could we? The lawful Christian cannot imagine or understand “our own righteousness”. It takes faith, truth and understanding to allow yourself to enter in. The light of their understanding is diminished because they think it robbery to consider themselves “worthy”. Some of them, the unworthy, are stuck in, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace”. They disqualify themselves from being sons and daughters for pride in their own humble attitudes, never becoming bold toward God.
If you believe that the Lord is preparing a “People” for 7 years of drought how would He accomplish the task? He would make them strong enough to stand alone and be self sufficient. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Faith and an ear to hear are necessary to do the will of God. Some think they know and are as the “foolish virgins” of Matthew 25 not actually having the truth, the lamp oil of the Holy Spirit. The point being; God wants us to be the well, never thirsting. Able to hear, receive and flow in the time of drought.
God does everything decently and in order. Of a truth; “The Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets”, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God”. Thereby we, as the apostles can partake, “I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”. And again, “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”. In preparing for the tribulation, (Prepare you the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.) it is we who must conform to Gods’ will.
Sunday the Lord gave me a new understanding about what He is doing with His sons and daughters. We are currently being tried in our ability to be refreshed from within. Not that God is silent. Oh no, it is that He wants the weak to become strong and confident, so that they will stand in the times to come (As the wise virgins of Matthew 25). Being a hearer is one thing, being a doer requires we apply faith and action. It’s relatively easy for the strong to lead or give words, not that it’s wrong, but that is not all that God wants. The purpose of the strong is to bring the weak to their level. As the Lord said; “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant”. God wants the weak to be free to be bold and confident before Him. God did not give apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors to lord over His inheritance, God forbid. They were only for the perfecting of the saints, many abuses have occurred. Hence, the time we are in. The Lord is Shepherding His flock. If you are not seeing it, I doubt that the Spirit of the Lord has liberty where you are at.
The world is about to enter into the time of God’s wrath, beginning with judgment in the house of the Lord. Many of the highly thought of “Christians”, will be brought low, or compromised completely to serve the Antichrist. The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed”, is happening, and in greater measure in the near future. Do not be surprised or upset, it must happen. Even now, do not run after signs as it says in Matthew 24:23 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect”. Seek the Kingdom of God with your whole heart, holding nothing back, so that signs and wonders will follow after you. During the first 31/2 years of tribulation many false signs and wonders will occur, many will fall. 2 Peter 1:10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.
Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
John 4:14 But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:38 He that believes on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Isaiah 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: 11And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shall 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 shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shall be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Drought in the world for the "Word of God".
Deuteronomy 6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which you built not, 11And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full; 12Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Jeremiah 2:5 Thus says the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 6Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? 7And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
Jeremiah 50:37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. 38A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 39Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Haggai 1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground brings forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
Hosea 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me. 5I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 6According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit, He is your only chance, your only option. Choose life in the Spirit. Give ear to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Do not be wise in your own conceit, but humble yourself before the living God.

If you believe that the Lord is preparing a “People” for 7 years of drought how would He accomplish the task? He would make them strong enough to stand alone and be self sufficient. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Faith and an ear to hear are necessary to do the will of God. Some think they know and are as the “foolish virgins” of Matthew 25 not actually having the truth, the lamp oil of the Holy Spirit. The point being; God wants us to be the well, never thirsting. Able to hear, receive and flow in the time of drought.
God does everything decently and in order. Of a truth; “The Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets”, “Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God”. Thereby we, as the apostles can partake, “I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”. And again, “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”. In preparing for the tribulation, (Prepare you the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.) it is we who must conform to Gods’ will.
Sunday the Lord gave me a new understanding about what He is doing with His sons and daughters. We are currently being tried in our ability to be refreshed from within. Not that God is silent. Oh no, it is that He wants the weak to become strong and confident, so that they will stand in the times to come (As the wise virgins of Matthew 25). Being a hearer is one thing, being a doer requires we apply faith and action. It’s relatively easy for the strong to lead or give words, not that it’s wrong, but that is not all that God wants. The purpose of the strong is to bring the weak to their level. As the Lord said; “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant”. God wants the weak to be free to be bold and confident before Him. God did not give apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors to lord over His inheritance, God forbid. They were only for the perfecting of the saints, many abuses have occurred. Hence, the time we are in. The Lord is Shepherding His flock. If you are not seeing it, I doubt that the Spirit of the Lord has liberty where you are at.
The world is about to enter into the time of God’s wrath, beginning with judgment in the house of the Lord. Many of the highly thought of “Christians”, will be brought low, or compromised completely to serve the Antichrist. The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed”, is happening, and in greater measure in the near future. Do not be surprised or upset, it must happen. Even now, do not run after signs as it says in Matthew 24:23 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect”.

Be Converted
From yesterday (7/6/08) at church:
Those who have not allowed Me to make them free have not died to themselves that I may have My way in them. Look and see the fruit of those who have put on the mind of Christ. Though they once doubted and though they struggled within themselves to answer every man according to the liberty that they have been given, they are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For they once stumbled and erred even as you did stumble, but they have chosen to be transformed by the renewing of their mind. Who has allowed themselves to be converted and who has chosen to humble themselves to the understanding of God that I may have My way in you? I tell you rule over your spirit and let no carnal thought enter your mind. How is this possible, you ask? I tell you, to those who believe, all things are possible. This is the difference for to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Who will hold Me to My word? Let them come this day and be changed. To those who can hear it this day, I say come for I will not hold anything back from you. I the Lord have spoken it.
Draw from your own well for I write My word upon your heart. Have understanding in this.
Love in Him,
Ryan
