Word 7/2/08 Prelude to Judgment

Matthew 4:4 ….It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

In this earthen vessel (Spirit filled Christians) lays the “Light of the World”. In this flesh, formed by My hands, is a portion of Myself. I have entrusted Myself to you My children. I love you! No price was too great to pay to redeem the children of man, to bring you to Myself. Who has understood? Who has sought My face? The power of creation (the Creator), the recognizable Seal that holds the powers of darkness at bay, the power of life and death (is) in your own mouths. I am (so) near you, even in your mouth. Who has known (many say, know of, but do not act upon or believe), who values (comprehends) the Kingdom (the Holy Spirit) that has come to man? Many know of Truth, but, to you it is given without measure (the Holy Spirit leads into all truth), and I delight that you should know. How I have longed for mine to be bold and do mighty exploits, to glorify My name in all the earth. Yet, man insists in glorying in My power. Though you, have ever given Me all the glory, all the praise, and sought none for yourself. For this I will set you on high. All those who say they are mine (and are not) will know in and on who My Spirit rests. They will be brought low. They are an open shame in My house. Who, but Myself can set it (My house/God’s house) right so that upon the return of your Lord he will say, “Well done My faithful friends”.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Revelation 2:2 I 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:

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Do not be troubled by fiery trials. Do not be weary or saddened for you are being polished as with fullers polish. You will shine in the day of your ministry. Doubt it not, for it is I who will perform My word at your hand.

Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: 3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Romans 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering:

The weapons of My warfare are limitless as the words I speak. The weapons of man are subject to My words, My will. I tell you, I am able to deliver you if you were surrounded on every side with thousands of warriors of every type, natural or spirit. I check (get approval) with no one to do My will, I am God, all that is, I have made! Will the creation tell the Creator anything? I laugh at the prideful thought! Know this My children, I have legions of angels who perform My every word, to the letter. They are My sons, I begat them for this very purpose. I created the Destroyer to do My will. I forged him in a furnace of My creation. He is perfect in his stature (calling/design/purpose) to do My will, at My command. Think not that I have forgotten you or the place of your dwelling, for I am with you, in you, I cover you in My presence. Who or what shall harm you? My beloved. Let My mind be in you, doubt not.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Jeremiah 44:4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

Revelation 10:7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? 5For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visits him? 7Thou made him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Fix your eyes on Me. Do not look to the right or the left. Do not look at your own beauty, for it is a reflection of Me. Do not glory in yourself for every evil comes with this illusion? We are one, but I am the Lord of Hosts. Be humble before Me, acknowledge Me in all your ways. Then your calling and election (will) be made sure.

Who are My mothers, brothers and sisters? Who are My faithful servants? Who are the “Oil and the Wine”? Know Me. Do My will. Seek Me with your whole heart. Knock, cry out, draw close, get (acquire) wisdom and understanding. For, it will soon be revealed in who I delight, who I call “friend”.

Words cannot express the heart the heart or the root of the thoughts of a man, but by My Spirit all is revealed, all is understood. Those who worship Me can only do it in (My) Spirit by knowing “Truth”. Let the eyes of your understanding be darkened no more. My words are (My) Spirit, the “Way”, the “Truth”, and “Life”.

Obedience is far better than sacrifice, the meaning (understanding/seeing with your own eyes/experiencing)) of which is soon to be revealed.
