From last week during church (8/24/2008):
Word
All who desire to be set free by My Spirit can be made free, indeed. But you must choose deliverance and to walk according to the truth of My word for a double-minded man will receive nothing from Me, the Living God. Who will choose to be dead to the old man and to cast down the cares of this life daily that I may show Myself strong through you? I hold out My hand, My Spirit is saying "come and draw near to Me while there is yet time. I will lead you into all truth if you only believe and walk according to all that I show you." Who will hear it and be spiritually minded this day that they may have life and peace? To be carnally minded is death but I have made a way for you to be stayed in perfect peace if you choose Me and deny the wisdom of this world. I have made the call. Who will hear My voice and be obedient to the words of My mouth?
1 Peter 4
Love in Jesus,
Ryan

Word 8/23/08 Proverbs and Parables
A fool says in his heart there is no God. I send messengers bearing truth and the fool says, That’s fine for you but my way serves me. The fool returns to his old place of watering (drinking) though it is dry and full of refuse discarded by others. The fool says, My place of comfort satisfies me. You foolish man, you have denied My Spirit of Truth by denying My servant. Wisdom is all about you. But you hold fast to the ways of death. Your reward is of your making. Though I called time and again, you chose the path of darkness. I said, This is the way that leads to peace and you choose strife. I said, This is the way to the desires of your heart, and you said, I will please myself. I said, Be full of My Spirit, and you said, I choose the pleasures of this life, not knowing the treasures wisdom gives.
The ways of truth and wisdom are hidden from the proud and the fool. They will find their end together.
The end of a thing is better than the beginning to the righteous, but the end of a fool is the beginning of his reward (judgment).
Discipline to the fool is as a rash of annoyance, best healed by the comfort of the pleasures of this life. Discipline to the meek is in the way of Holiness and brings great reward and strength.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom that will be revealed to all those who seek Him in Spirit and in truth.
The fool destroys his own house, but the wise build a strong house that cannot be shaken, for it is built on a rock, it is built on truth by the hand of God.
The time of walking in your own righteousness is upon you (us), drinking from your own well of salvation, that you have dug and built with your own hands. Filled with (either) bitter or sweet water, by the desire of your (own) heart. If you desire truth, sweet is the water from the deep. If you desire pleasure, shallow and bitter is the water you chose to drink.
Comment: If you will judge yourself, by the Holy Spirit in truth, you will not be judged.

Scripture & Word 8/19/08
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Word: The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, the law of the Spirit, neither indeed can be; it cannot be in deeds or actions, in fact or in truth, in actuality (eternal reality). Be not conformed (to this world, what it respects and honors), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (to the mind of Christ, the way God views all things).
Comment: Your choice. Choose faith and submit to the Holy Spirit to educate you in the way and truth that leads to life in the Holy Spirit, or, your way.

Living Word 8/16/08
Because of iniquity the love of many has and will grow cold, but the prize is to those who finish the race. Failure to do the first works is not the way. Do the first works (Rev 2:4). Think on these things, for they are good and Holy and will bring a good report. Do not allow yourself to be lulled into slumber, not watching. Keep your mind set on the things of God, things eternal. The trial of your will is to do My (God’s) will, stay in My rest. Trust in Me (God) as a good Master, Lord and King, waiting on My commands, which are not grievous or more than you can bear.
Faith in truth pleases Me (God). Faith in Me has its reward of life in My Spirit. This is hidden from the proud of heart, the deceived and fearful. What hinders you but your own unbelief?
By whose wisdom would you be coupled to unbelievers? By what spirit do you judge who is of Me and who is not? Your very soul stands in the decision of what voice you will follow after; the voice of wisdom or the voice of your comfort. Decide which has the reward you desire, this world, the flesh or Me and My reward.

To Those Who Will Hear Truth
God gave me this word on Sunday 8/24/08.
Men call for me all day long, asking me to help them. People call, and ask me to change their life and make their problems disappear. I am faithful, and delight in removing a heavy burden. I would that all be free from the worries and cares of this life. I would that all would trust in me and believe my words.
Now, there are believers, and non believers. Those that follow me, and those who follow everything else. I can not, and will not bless sin. But those that set their heart upon me and believe me and my promises are mine. They are those I have chosen, because they have heard the call to come out and be separate, and they have chosen. Chosen to serve me. Chosen to love truth and make it their lives.
Run to me and you shall find me. Is there anything that is more important? Is there anything that you put before me in your life? I say die to your flesh, to this world and follow me. Those that are set free from this world and its vanity, they are free indeed. They are not servants to the world anymore, but they serve me. I alone am God. I chasten those that I love. I desire that you would receive from me daily. Call upon me, and see if I am not faithful. I will make all things new. I will heal the brokenness. I will set your feet on the solid ground. Choose me this day. I am for you.
God bless, Chad

Hold Fast
The Lord spoke this word to me on Tuesday: Blessed is he who fears me, he who's trust is in me and my name. Who has set their hand to the plow? Who has taken no thought for this life? Do you not know that this life is nothing, that it will all pass away? All that can be shaken will be, yet my words shall remain. Remain in me, do not doubt, do not fear. I scatter your enemies this day before you, but do you believe? Believe that all things are possible in me? Believe that you have the victory, that you are more than an over comer. The giants of the land, who will fear them? Let them be slain this day, fear no more but trust in me and know your end.
Numbers 10:35
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
Wednesday: Waver not my people, but rejoice. The trial of your faith is precious. The unity of my Spirit, the bond of faith, who will stand on not be moved? Come, find your rest, gain your strength. Call upon me, I am near to you even in your mouth. The victory is yours but you must fight the good fight, not being overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Trust in me that I know you wants, your cares and desires. Set your eyes upon me and you will not be moved.
May we be not weary in our well doing,
Austin

Philippians 2
1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
May we be not weary in our well doing,

Enter In
This is what the Lord spoke on Sunday at church: The day is at hand, the day of my wrath and my fury. The day I have held in my heart from the beginning. That I may cut short my work in righteousness, that my name might be glorified. Trust in me you who fear the Lord, you who have my word hidden in your heart. What have you gained of this life? Have you counted all as loss? I am yours and you are mine this day, you are not your own but I have bought you with a price. I am your father, I alone have begotten you, clothed you with a garment unspotted that you might stand before me. Believe my words, attune your ears to my voice. Let faith arise and let your fears be scattered. I strengthen you, I open your eyes to to that which has not been nor discovered from the beginning of creation. How great is our love? I have loved you with a perfect love, in it there is no fear. I cover you, I call you son, a king and a priest. Rise up, rise up this day. Rejoice in me, stand in me. No fear, no doubt. Love me this day more, more than anything in this life. I am faithful to give unto you your hearts desires, but you must seek first my kingdom taking no thought for your life. Trust in me and not in man, for men cannot teach you as I do. My judgment had begun in my house. I shut the door yet who has heard my cry? Hear this day: turn, turn from your ways, trust that I am able to forgive. Be founded in my truth, upon the rock, that which cannot be shaken. All that can be moved will be. Be full of my Spirit, be full of my oil. I do not delay. Ask me this day, I will give unto you what you would ask of me. Believe and do not waver.
The door is still open, the opportunity still present. For those would choose to be filled, to find refuge from the storm to come. Do not delay, do not hold back, for the time will come when God will no longer call. If you have an ear to hear, hear what the Lord is saying this day. Be filled with his Spirit, be full of the oil. God knows what it takes to get you there but you must have faith, you must believe every word he speaks. He is able to forgive, but we must set it in our hearts never to turn back, but to set the standard at Godliness, nothing less than being Holy. Strait is that way, narrow is that gate, few are those who have entered in. Be comforted, God is not a hard task master. Let us live by faith, not wavering, trusting the He is able to keep us in the time to come.
Grace and peace,
Austin

Dead To The World
From church (8/18/2008):
Word
I desire for you to be dead to the world and all the things thereof that My perfect will for you be done. I will give you all that need and even desire for you to prosper as your soul prospers, but who will seek first My kingdom and My righteousness? The green season will quickly come to an end but I ask who has taken the time to enter in to My rest, ceasing from their own labors that they may do the work of the Lord? I am God, I alone will perform My word that it will not return unto Me void. Who will live their life before Me, daily taking up their cross, dying to themselves and following Me? Let your calling and election be made sure this day. I tell you the trial of your faith works patience, but who will keep their eyes fixed on Me and possess their soul in patience? Those who lack wisdom and understanding, I say come quickly and ask Me that I may pour out liberally upon you. Judge all things by My Spirit, asking Me, that I may continually lead you by My Spirit and give you all understanding according to truth.
Note: Do not delay for God has sent His servants out calling after those who were chosen, but many did not hear. Now He has spoken saying go into the highways and the byways and whosoever will, let them come. The time is short, people. We must choose who we will serve before the door is closed and the opportunity to choose God is removed.
Love In Jesus,
Ryan

We Are Not Condemned
Word:
All have fallen short of the glory of God. All have erred and departed from truth. Do you believe you will reach perfection in the flesh? I say give your cares and concerns to Me. I am not the voice of condemnation. I do not hold your sins against you. I would that you would prosper My people. I would that you would have all the desires of your heart, but you must die to yourself and follow Me. You must believe that all is passed away and all is made new. You must believe that you are more than overcomers, that the old man has no power over you. Do not be cast down My people. Do not despair. Though trials come, surely and securely I am with you. Do you not think that I know your weaknesses? Nothing is hidden from Me, but I do not condemn you. I want to set you free, to heal you, to give you peace. Call on Me in the day of your weakness. Call on Me in the day of your trouble and I will be your help. I will strengthen you and show you the way of peace. Trust in Me to perfect you. I will not forsake the good work that I have begun in you.
Love and Blessings,
Tara

The Call
These are some words the Lord has given me recently. Though some I know were given to stir certain people at our church, the Lord has stirred me to share all of the words given.
1)I will sing a song unto my God, I will declare him among the nations. Blessed is he who brings glad tidings, even the tidings of the Lord. For the Lord is just, all his ways are peace. He beholds all them that are proud and abases them, and he beholds all them who are humble and contrite and uplifts their spirit. I am a father to the fatherless, upholder of all them that fall. All that call upon me in truth will I answer, but the perverted soul only longs for want. I am the beginning and the end. Before me there was no other and after there shall not be another. Who shall you liken me to oh man? The mountains tremble before me, the isles flee, they are hidden, they cannot be found. I see all things, I look to the intent of the heart. All mans ways are before me. The great among them are not great in my eyes, only them that love me with their whole heart and minds. Draw near, I know your heart, I see the pain. The wounds of men, of religion, rest upon you. Come unto me, I will heal, I will take away the old. What do you believe? From the beginning men have erred, gone from my precepts. Yet I know their end. There is no good in them except that I am in that man. The weak, the oppressed, the widow, the fatherless. My eye is upon them. Call upon me for I speak to you this day by my still small voice. I shall work a work in your days, so great and terrible. All things shall be revealed, all brought into the light. Behold my servants, those who worship me in Spirit, those who love me, behold my light.
2) The evil day, the day of darkness, the blind lead the blind, both fall into the ditch. Who has prepared? Who has filled up with the oil of my Spirit? They say within "I have all", they say they know me yet they do not know they are naked and wretched, they have no life within. I speak this day yet who will hear? Draw near my people , you who love me more than this life. I have laid my plumb line upon the earth and I will judge every man after his ways. Have faith, do not doubt my words. I come and my reward is with me. Endure. Hold fast to those things which you have bean given that no man would take your crown. You say "I desire the way, the deliverance of the Lord", I say be filled with my Holy Spirit lest you be counted with the foolish and the unwise.
3) Judgment, judgment in my house. Who is this? He who speaks vanity in the ears of a wanting heart. Who is discerning among them? Who has chosen wisdom? I say my day is at hand and I will lay low every prideful man and I shall take the haughty in my judgment. The righteous shall not be a prey unto him who perverts my truth nor him who loves me to the deceitful man. For I will draw near to you in judgment and I will root out the wicked and all them that lie. Be prepared, you who have bean faithful, you who have watched. They shall fall among them that fall in my day. Watch, do not doubt my still small voice.
4) I will speak, yet who will hear me? I have declared, I have spoken, yet who has laid my words in their heart? Be not deceived for I am Lord and I am God. Do I delight in the destruction of the wicked? I desire that every man should turn, for why would you die? Turn you, turn you at my voice. For I come and the mountains shall melt before me, the earth shall be burnt up with a fervent heat. My day is at hand. Draw near, come close. I am you deliverer, your ever present help in time of need. You have pondered in your heart but yet you have feared to tread my waters. Before you knew me I knew you, before you call upon me I answer you this day. I open the door, walk with me, come near unto me. What burden can I not loose or what pain can I not heal? I desire that you stand in my day. The weakness of your flesh, it has always resisted the will of my Spirit. Question no longer but draw from my waters, waters that run deep, where you shall find a wellspring of life, even life eternal. I shall darken the sun and the moon shall not give her light. Then shall my sign appear in the heavens and my army shall follow me. Come, delay not, for I do not delay. Read my word, see if I do not confirm all that I have spoken in your heart.
To all them that have ears, hear me this day. Be strong in me and be not weary in your well doing. I try, I purge, I renew the man within. Look not with your eyes, but believe and walk by faith. I am the author, I am the finisher of all you are and are to be. For some I speak this day: you calling and election is before you. And to some: hold fast to what you have been given that no man would take your crown. Trust in me and me only. I have taught you all my way, I have revealed unto you the path of my salvation. Think it not strange, the trials that do come upon you, for nothing has come upon you unaware. Have faith and do not doubt.
5) Day by day, night after night, they do not consider nor do they lay it up in their hearts. So it has been so it shall be they say, not knowing that I come and I shall render every man after his works. Who has heard? The sound of shaking is in the land. The fall of the mighty and the prideful, the sound of the blind leading the blind and both fall into the ditch. I lay my plumb line. I judge a righteous judgment. Who is this who has lived their lives in want? Your hands have shed innocent blood, upon you I find the stench of your adultery. Who has sold my people that they may be rich? Look, behold them in whom my spirit does not dwell. I shall cast them down, every man among them. Some shall be saved, but all their works shall be burnt up. Some shall I fall upon and I will grind them to powder. Hear my voice those of you who have an ear to hear. My day comes. Will I find faith?
Grace and peace,
Austin

Then shall my sign appear in the heavens and my army shall follow me. Come, delay not, for I do not delay. Read my word, see if I do not confirm all that I have spoken in your heart.
To all them that have ears, hear me this day. Be strong in me and be not weary in your well doing. I try, I purge, I renew the man within. Look not with your eyes, but believe and walk by faith. I am the author, I am the finisher of all you are and are to be. For some I speak this day: you calling and election is before you. And to some: hold fast to what you have been given that no man would take your crown. Trust in me and me only. I have taught you all my way, I have revealed unto you the path of my salvation. Think it not strange, the trials that do come upon you, for nothing has come upon you unaware. Have faith and do not doubt.
5) Day by day, night after night, they do not consider nor do they lay it up in their hearts. So it has been so it shall be they say, not knowing that I come and I shall render every man after his works. Who has heard? The sound of shaking is in the land. The fall of the mighty and the prideful, the sound of the blind leading the blind and both fall into the ditch. I lay my plumb line. I judge a righteous judgment. Who is this who has lived their lives in want? Your hands have shed innocent blood, upon you I find the stench of your adultery. Who has sold my people that they may be rich? Look, behold them in whom my spirit does not dwell. I shall cast them down, every man among them. Some shall be saved, but all their works shall be burnt up. Some shall I fall upon and I will grind them to powder. Hear my voice those of you who have an ear to hear. My day comes. Will I find faith?
Grace and peace,
Austin

Choose This Day
The Lord spoke this to me on Sunday 08/1o/08
Choose, choose this day who you will serve. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. For when that man makes a decision, what does he base the decision on? And if you either can be for me, or against me, then the double minded man's path will not be my path for you either give 100% all you have, or nothing at all. I see things in black or white. There is either good or bad. I would have you my people to see things as I see them. To feel and choose things as I would have you to my people.
When I return, will I find faith in you? Will I find a servant's heart in you? Will your actions reflect the heart that loves truth, or the heart that wavers and therefore chooses death? A foolish man is right in his own eyes, and correction from the father does not exist, or is not for him. I judge a righteous judgment. So can you my people. Look to me and I will show you what's of me and what's not. If you haven't chosen already to give all that you are, I say to do so. Let go of the old man. The old understandings. Walk not in your former ignorance as the old man did, but put on the mind of Christ and walk after me in the newness of the spirit. I say pick up your cross and die to your flesh.
My servants bear fruit. Good fruit that's of me. The servant that does not bear good fruit, because they are not part of my vine, will be cut out and thrown into the fire. To outer darkness where there will be weeping and nashing of teeth. Weeping because they knew they should have opened the door that I have been standing and knocking at for so long, but they always hesitated and never coupled faith and desired truth more than the flesh. And nashing of teeth, because life without my covering, without me, is no life at all. Destruction is that man's portion.
So I call once again, come out and be separate. Choose this day to run after me. Let nothing or no one hold you back. All I have is yours. Run to me and I will embrace you as my own.
Then the Lord gave me Philippians 3, Matthew 13, and Matthew 25 for confirmation. I won't put them all on here, however I do encourage all to read these and preferably in that order.
God bless, Chad

Settle It In Your Heart
From this morning (8/13/08):
Word
Settle it in your heart that I am who I say I am, that I will give you the words to speak and that My word will not return unto Me void. I am with you always, giving you understanding in all things by My Spirit. I tell you, I require that you answer every man as My Spirit gives utterance in these times. For the day comes quickly when My Spirit will no longer strive with man, but this day I tell you truly the Spirit is willing. Let the gifts of the Spirit be stirred up within you that you may walk in power and authority, making your calling and election sure. Be instantly in season, allowing all things to be revealed by My Spirit. Give the weak food that they may eat and live. To those who I put before you, I tell you speak that they may turn from the flesh and seek My face while there is yet time. I will not hold back. I will not keep any good thing from those who desire to know Me and hear My voice.
Continue in prayer always, knowing that I hear your every cry and that I do answer you when you call. Desire to know My will for your life and remember that you are not your own. I have ordered your steps and I have set you on the path that you should walk on. I have gone before you to make a way where there doesn't seem to be a way, that no weapon formed against you can prosper, but you must trust in Me for all things. It is by My hand that you are protected. It is My will that you be provided for. But only those who think not on their own life, who think not on what they should eat or drink, will be able to receive all that I have for them. It is by faith that men can please me, believing Me and allowing Me to account it unto them for righteousness.
Be strengthened My people, allowing not yourselves to become weary in well-doing. Now is the time when the minds of the saints will be worn out but it is My will that you keep your eyes fixed on Me that nothing can come upon you unaware. In My presence there is rest and peace. Entering in by faith and walking according to the leading of My Spirit is the only way to enter in to the fullness of what I have for you. Do not delay. Do not hold back. Do not slumber for darkness comes and many have fallen asleep. Be ready, keeping yourselves unspotted from the world and not allowing your liberty to be an occasion to stumble. I will keep you and I will see to it that your foot slips not if you only trust in Me and allow Me to be your Shepherd (leading you where you should go).
Love in Him,
Ryan

Faith and Salvation
From church (8/10/2008):
Word
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the words of My mouth. I say hear Me, give ear this day. I would that all who are here would hear My voice and walk accordingly. Not considering what you should eat or drink, or what you should put on, but desiring to know My will for every situation. I tell you, the time comes quickly when signs and wonders will be before your very eyes, but you must desire that My Spirit lead you into all truth, showing you the things that are not as though they were. Who will judge all things by My Spirit, according to truth, that you may speak as I require it of you? I tell you again, there is nothing hidden from those who believe Me. All that you ask Me, I will give you and more for you walk by faith, not taking the words or approval of men into consideration. In this I am pleased for I have called you and you did answer, choosing to hear and know only My voice. To you who have chosen, I tell you I am your Shepherd and you shall not be in want. I give you all that you need and I see to it that you are fed daily. Continue to walk in righteousness, taking no thought for your own life, and I will pour out that your cup runs over. Have faith.
Word (given to a girl who visited our church)
I have called you and do draw you by My Spirit that you may receive all that I have for you, but I ask you, have you been obedient to all that I have put before you to do? Do you love Me more than this life and all of the things of the world? Of a truth I tell you that the world is at enmity against Me. Though I did not come to condemn the world, they are condemned already because, I, the Light came to the world but they love the darkness more than the light. Who will you serve? Choose Me and walk according to the leading of My Spirit and I will bless you, I will protect you and keep you from the judgment that is to come. But I tell you, those who choose to serve two masters (God and the world) will have not part with Me. You have seen the way for I have put laborers in your path. I tell you hear all that I tell them to speak to you and believe. Draw close while there is yet time. Come and receive life everlasting. In My presence is peace, fullness of joy, deliverance from all that binds you. I desire for you to be free. Choose this day who you will serve. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Open the door and I will come in and sup with you. I am faithful.
Through a series of words that were spoken and a couple of us ministering to her, God's will for this girl's life was confirmed. After we ministered to her, a sister in the Lord asked her if she wanted to accept Jesus and we prayed with her for salvation. The faithfulness of another servant of God living her life as an example before God caused this person to see that God is real. The Spirit is bidding whosoever will to come and draw close while there is yet time. I thank the Lord for His faithfulness and for the opportunity to minister to those who need strength.

The Feast
All of you who are heavy laden, who hunger and thirst for righteousness, come and sit at the table that I have prepared for you. Eat and drink of the feast that I have made for you. I say enter into all that I have for you, and take it freely. Be not concerned with the cares of this life or the fears that have kept you from entering into My presence. Eat and drink of Me. Receive. Be healed. I am God, your healer. I heal your every wound and make you strong. I know the cares of your heart and the depths of your pain. Come to me and I will take away your tears and give you a garment of rejoicing. I will take what the enemy meant for evil and I will make it work for your good. Submit yourself to truth. Walk in it. Make it your portion. Do not resist the drawing of My Spirit. Do not think that what you do is of your own will, but know that I the Lord am drawing you, and I am calling you out to be separate and not be partakers of the wrath to come. Who will hear when I call? Who will make it a priority to come when I ask? the times are at hand and the day draws near. Speak without fear. Speak life and truth to all those who desire to know Me. I am with you My people. I never leave you. I never forsake you. You are My chosen, My fine gold, My choice rubies. You are precious in My eyes. Let Me love you perfectly. Let Me take all your burdens. Let Me help you. Let Me bring you peace. Hold nothing back. Cast all your cares upon Me. I will not fail. I will prove Myself faithful to you. Only move in faith and believe and surely you will see My goodness in the land of the living. What is My goodness? It is Me speaking in your ear. It is Me showing My faithfulness to you everyday. It is Me taking care of your every need. It is the way of peace and joy. Those who walk after Me and follow after My ways will never fear. They will be as trees planted by a river and when the dry heat of judgment burns everything in its path, they will not be touched for they are planted in good ground, receiving daily from My Spirit.
Love in Christ,

Who Will Hear?
My people, I speak to you this day even in your ear. I speak softly, but who will hear? Who will take heed and change their ways? Who will take My correction as fine gold? Who will recognize it as invaluable? Who will come to Me in the spirit of meekness and humility? Trust in Me My people and do not be afraid. I am with you. I never leave you. I am your God and I love you. Cast away all your old understandings and come to Me ready to receive the new. All that I offer is life and meat for the hungry soul. Eat and be refreshed. Drink of My living water and be renewed. My ways are not hard, and My burden is not heavy, but who will sell all that they have and follow Me? Who will count all the ways of the world as dung and search after the treasures of My Spirit? The dark day comes when the opportunity to enter into My rest will be taken from the earth and no more will I strive with man. Answer the call. Do not delay. Peace will be taken from the earth and men's heart will fail them for fear. Only those who have chosen to trust in Me and fill their lamps with oil will endure till the end. Be not beguiled My people, the days are at hand and the time will come. Say not within yourselves that it delays, for surely I say to you that I will come as a thief in the night. Do not be taken off guard, lest you be gathered with the tares.
I pray that we all walk in wisdom, redeeming the times and filling our lamps with all the oil we can get. Praise God for His fellowship.
Love in Christ,
Tara

Scripture & Word 8/3/08
Scripture: Mark 2, but especially;
5When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? (The carnally minded Christians today say the same things of Spirit filled Christian. Acts 7:51You stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.)
8And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason you these things in your hearts? (The Holy Spirit revealed truth with understanding.)
9Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? (When speaking by the Holy Spirit why should we put on an act to please the non-understanding skeptics?)
17 …….They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (The proud say that they are perfect, contrary to truth.)
Understand the above in the light of these:
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Word:
Those who come must believe He is the rewarder of those who seek Him.
Truth can be as simple as yes or no. But, if you desire truth, you must have faith to receive. I will not hide truth, but you must separate to truth. You could understand all mysteries if you desired, but I say to you seek the Kingdom of God that has come to man. He (Kingdom of God/Holy Spirit) will lead you to all truth, for He is God. He is the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Promise of the Father, the Oil of Gladness, the Counselor, the Mighty God come to man.
Scripture:
Mark 2:21 No man also sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up takes away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
Undestanding: You cannot put a new patch on the old ways, old understandings, all things become new, life in the Spirit.
22 No man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Understanding: You must be born again, new bottle, to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Faith in God, in fact, requires trusting God with your spirit, bottle, giving your control, opening yourself to His Spirit to be filled with His Spirit. That is how Jesus and the Father come in and sup or abide in you. It is how the Father writes His words on your heart. This is contrary to most denominational doctrine, keeping those who follow from truth.
Word:
Enter the rest of faith in Me. Receive. True wisdom, lasting wisdom is not by the hand of man, but by My Spirit. Seek it, hold fast to it. For in it, is life, for now, and all eternity.
Who has fulfilled their duty to Me? Who has sought truth with their whole heart? You accept for truth the teachings of man, not knowing of certainty, that they are My teachings. I tell you they follow the teachings of man. It is not the way to Me. My faithful point to Me and say, this is the way, walk in it. I confirm My word, I bear witness to truth. Religion kills. The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit of truth leads to life, and life abundantly, in My Spirit. Abundant life includes provision, not deceitful riches. Abundant life includes confidence, not doubt. Abundant life is fellowship with Me, knowing truth by faith. Abundant life is loving truth more than the love of any man or woman, any relative, any organization, any fellowship. For in truth you stand before Me. The love of truth sets you free from the law of sin and death. I am truth, I give life, I give life now to all who can and will receive. Make your calling and election sure, give you life to Me, open your heart to truth. That you may soar, that you may be seated with Me.
Why do you regard iniquity of the flesh? Why do you regard your humanity? Does My word not say live in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh? You say increase my faith, but I say to decide what you believe, you have been given the measure of faith. Be dead to lies and the works of the flesh, live in truth. Doubt and fear keep you back. Perfect love casts out all fear, love Me, trust Me. Perfectly leave no room for doubt. Understanding comes to those who diligently wait on Me. Not presupposing knowledge, but being lead by My Spirit into all truth. Hear Me, hear truth, be free from the cares of this life, give them to Me. I will not deal treacherously with you, trust Me. Do what is before you, but learn of Me, by Me, by My Spirit> I always agree with My written word, but not the understanding of man.
Comment:
Don’t be as the scribes. Seek understanding by the Spirit of Truth. Be born of God, open to new life, life in and by God’s design, God’s format; the way, the truth and the life.

Loving Truth
I am the Lord. Who here knows it? Who here, when you hear truth, hold on to it? Who here, when your hear truth, will make it your life? Who will lay down what they know, or what the world has taught them, and run after me? A fool is right in their own eyes, and a wise man loves their father's corrections. Cry after wisdom, cry after truth and I will surely pour it out in abundance. But a servant who crys after wisdom, or the truth, or direction, and that servant doesn't choose to walk that way, is no servant at all. A double minded man is weak in all his ways because he won't choose to have faith and walk after it.
Vision: I saw a man on a ship. This ship kept going in big circles and had no way of telling where to go. Then the man was given a compass. The man was left with a choice. He could either keep sailing in circles and never choose to follow or use the compass(God's direction), or the man could use the direction, and move his vessel in the way of truth.
Then the Lord said: Have faith this day and make me a part in all your life. Run after me, not hesitating and you will surely find me. To everyone here, I say come, all I have is yours. Look not to the past, nor make plans for the future. But look to me. I will make your path straight, I will guide your footsteps. A wise man hears wisdom and runs after it. Draw near to me.
God bless, Chad

The Time Has Come
As of late, those of us at the ESC have been seeing God's word come to pass more and more frequently, convincing us that the day of the Lord is at hand. Because of this, we continue to gather ourselves together even more than usual so that we can encourage one another, sharpen one another, keep one another accountable unto God and share all that the Lord is doing. Knowing that the time draws close when the Lord will send us out and cause us to walk fully in our callings and elections, we try to cherish the time that we are together, knowing that wherever two or more are gathered in His name, He is in the midst of us.
I thank God that He is our Shepherd and that even He encourages us not to look to any man, for many have rejected truth and teach their flocks to err, fulfilling the scripture that they are the blind leading the blind, which leads me into the reason why I felt stirred to write this post. During a business trip early last week, a brother in the Lord (who happens to be a youth minister at his church) that I have not talked to in a while gave me a call. After doing a little catching up and finding out he and his wife just delivered a baby girl a couple weeks prior, we began to talk about the state of the church and the urgency in the Spirit that we have been feeling lately (as most, if not all of you, have been sensing). He then made me aware that in the timespan of about a month, four out of six of the pastors at his church died, different causes of death at different times but all four died. Knowing in my spirit that they were not righteous men (i.e. not the righteous being taken out of the way), I asked him if they loved truth or if they had issues. He confirmed to me that they all had issues and that those who remained were now trying to push him into more of a leadership position. Naturally, he is very hesitant about doing anything in his own strength and he wants the Lord to tell him what he is do.
The time has come when judgment must begin at the house of God. Sound familiar? The Spirit of God has been ministering that to many of us for quite a while now. My brother in the Lord confirmed this to me in a big way, and those at the ESC, that as God has spoken it, all that He has shown us will not tarry. These are the times that we have cried out unto the Lord about for so long. He has been faithful to all of us who have lifted up a voice regarding the destruction that is to come, but as any who can hear what the Spirit is saying, no longer can we pray for God to delay. Judgment comes and God will not hold back any longer.
I believe the Lord desires for all of you to know that His word does not return unto Him void. Do not believe those who say things contrary to the word of God and the Spirit of God. Work out your own salvation before God with fear and trembling for if you try to follow those who speak lies in His name, your end will be the same as the four I mentioned above. God does not delight in the destruction of the wicked, but vengeance is in His heart. He judges a perfect, righteous judgment. All we have to do is have clean hands and a pure heart that we may walk humbly with our God. Seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit that you would have need of no other teacher. A relationship with God and Him accepting you is the only way that you can be protected in the days to come. Make your calling and election sure while there is yet time. Lean not to your own understanding or the understanding of men. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. We have to live our lives according to His word, not our own desires. Jesus said that He came not to bring peace, but division. The time will be quickly upon us where we will clearly see the division because God will make the difference. Settle it in your heart this day who God has called you to be and that you will do all that He has asked you to do.
Love in Him,

The End of Sin Is Death
From church on 8/3/08:
Word (given to a gentleman that came to our church)
I have called you to this place that you may be delivered, that you may be set free from all that oppresses you. You ask, "Why would God speak to me?" I tell you, because I love you and desire for you to be made free. I tell you this day, hear My voice and accept that I am who I say I am. The end of sin is death but I desire for you to have life and peace in Me. I tell you, what seems impossible to man is possible with God. Ask Me to forgive you your sins, ask Me to show Myself strong to you and see if I do not perform My word before your very eyes. I am your Healer and I alone can make you new, if you would only believe. Choose this day who you will serve (your carnal mind or I, the Living God).
I desire for you to be free from anger, fear, bitterness, addiction. If you believe My words and call upon Me this day, I will make you free.
Word
I am looking for those who will draw close to My side and be faithful to all that I speak to them. Who will put on strength and let faith arise that I may have My way in them? All who can hear My voice, I say be ready for the day comes quickly when My judgment will be poured out. In that day, only those who have walked in righteousness and have died to themselves will be able to walk with Me. Only those who have chosen to humble themselves before Me, accepting My will for their life, will be covered and protected in My pavilion. Be careful for nothing but rather do all things in prayer and with thanksgiving unto Me, the Lord. I will never leave those who have chosen to serve Me in Spirit and in truth. I love them and will keep them from destruction because the love of the truth is found in them. My word will never pass away.
Love in Jesus,
Ryan

The Watchmens Cry
These are some words and understanding the Lord has given me over the past 3 weeks. I haven't been able to post recently so I have put them all into one post
The Lord poke this word to me on Thursday: The way of my Spirit: truth, righteousness, peace. But who has considered their latter end? I say wisdom is proven of her children. Refuge, refuge from the storm. Alone in me shall any man abide. Let all those who have ears hear and declare my day is at hand. Seek me for in me alone shall you stand. Lift up the banner, lift up the cry: destruction, destruction. The watchman's cry. The deaf ear shall perish but the humble heart shall be delivered. Sanctified, glorified. Come unto me for I bring my destruction upon this land. For her iniquity she shall receive double and for her sin, she shall receive all upon her own head. Separate, separate unto me. I tell you no man shall stand lest he stand in me and my righteousness.
At church on Sunday I heard the Lord say "Tell me people that I come quickly and my wrath shall shortly be poured upon the earth." Then the Lord spoke this word: The strength of the mighty, the strongest among them shall fail for fear. They shall run, they shall forsake their posts. As if they ran from one fire to another, so shall I consume them in my wrath. My eye shall not spare them, nor shall I have pity in that day. The old and the young, the strong and the weak, the woman and the child, they shall all be consumed in my day. Who has said within that they desire my day? My day is darkness, there is no light in it. There shall be no joy, only sorrow. Fear shall take hold of them because they have forsaken me, the Lord their God, because no man had mercy. Yet I forgave, yet I had mercy, yet they would not but perverted their ways even more. Draw near, come close. My eyes are upon the sinful nation. Come out and be separate. Partake not of her judgment, spare yourselves from her wrath. I shall deliver him, him who has set his heart upon me. He shall have no lack, he will have no fear. Be patient, be not weary in your souls, for I bring the hidden things into the light. There shall be nothing that is hidden that shall not be revealed.
The next Sunday at church the Lord spoke this word: Surely who will stand in my day? The wicked shall perish from off the land but the just shall live by their faith. Who shall be delivered? If the righteous scarcely be saved and all have gone aside from my precepts? The way. Follow me my children, for I am the way, the path of your deliverance. By every word from my mouth shall you live. Sustained by my grace, watching, waiting for the redemption of your souls. A dark day, in it there shall be no light. Woe unto this nation! For she has forgotten me and she has taught her young ones to do so as well. Woe unto this people! For they pervert truth while their wickedness is increased and they despise my own. I will not hold back. I will no longer have mercy. My pavilion, the place of drawing water. Draw from your own wells, drink from your own cisterns. I come. Do not hold back.
And on Wednesday: Surely I come and I will pour out my wrath upon the earth. Fall on us they will cry to the mountains, hide us from the wrath of the Lord, God of heaven and of earth. Deliverance, I shall save them after my own heart. Look upon me you who have been faithful and stand firm in who I have made you to be. Line is upon line, my precepts upon every precept, that which cannot be broken, the fiercest storm shall not rend. Trust in me, I will see you through. Walk in your own righteousness, stand in my spirit. I will keep your foot from the snare. You shall not fear for I will not suffer the righteous to be moved before me. Look, now is your righteousness nearer than you have supposed. Hold fast, do not be moved.
And as I was praying in the spirit I felt stirred to write what I heard: Sing a song, sing a song unto the Lord. For he is great and worthy to be praised. Be exalted, be lifted high oh my Lord, my strength and my fortress. In the night I shall not fear nor shall the snare take my foot, for you shall light my path, I shall walk in the light of your salvation. Bow before him oh you mountains, sing a song unto him oh you fields. Clap before him, make a joyful noise unto the Lord for he will come and he will bring deliverance unto his people; the year of his redeemed has come. Fear not, neither be faint hearted you that serve the Lord, for he is mighty to save, able to save.
On Saturday the Lord spoke this word: I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. There has never been nor can there be another way to the father. The wolves dwell among my people. They are carried away, they perish for lack of knowledge. The strong among them have not my strength, they have men's persons in admiration. They teach lies, they seduce my people, to err, to believe the lies. The prophets prophesy falsely, they speak their own heart and no man prevents them. The pastors have fed themselves, the shepards forsaken their post. Who will draw near? Who has considered the time? Draw near, come unto me. Hear my voice, hear my call. For the time comes that I will call no longer but my wrath shall be poured out. I am faithful. I am the true shepard. I have wet my glittering sword and I shall thoroughly purge my threshing floor. I shall root out the wicked from among my people, they shall not dwell among them. All that pervert, all that lie shall be cast out, having their portion without the door. I will judge every prophet and all them that speak their own hearts, and I will give unto them after every word they have spoken that my people may know whose words shall stand, mine or theirs. I shall destroy every pastor who fed himself, and every shepard shall receive his portion of my wrath. For who has taken up the lost or bound up the broken? Let it come to mind the former days when the mountains melted at my presence, the nations feared and my people rejoiced. Let it come to mind when one put a thousand to flight and two ten thousand. How could have this been? If I had not forsaken them because their works were evil? I shall purify my people. I shall cause them to pass though the fire. My works shall be made manifest in all the earth. The day is at hand, now is that time. All who hear let them speak, and all who receive their word shall deliver their souls.
ISA 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
ISA 63:2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
ISA 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
ISA 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
ISA 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
ISA 63:6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
To God be all the glory alone,
Austin

ARE YOU BLIND?
A phrase often used at baseball and basketball games with little or no real consequence. Spiritually speaking, it carries the gravest of consequence, eternal separation from God. Unlike physical blindness, spiritual blindness brings apathy, anger and soon wrath from God, especially in those who lead others into blindness. Unlike physical blindness, spiritual blindness, to those who are blind, have no way to see, measure or understand that are blind. Biblically, this is always true. It is as true today as it was in Jesus day. When man separates truth, Godly truth, from God’s ways, blindness to truth is the outcome. Every man taught downstream of the original spiritual blindness receives a portion of that very blindness. Those teachings become traditions and doctrines of men, and deceptions of truth. Jesus came to heal the blind, physically, but especially spiritually, and bring truth to set blind captives free.
Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Consider the Sadducees who historically did not believe in the resurrection, as the Sadducees of Jesus day. Jesus, in Matthew 22:29 said to them; ”You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God”. They denied truth, Jesus is truth, ergo: they denied Jesus. Hearing truth did not change them, they just became more angry and bitter. They are guilty for passing error as truth to every person that they spread their beliefs to. Fast forward to today. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can get to the Father, heaven, our goal, except through Him. Consider church doctrines, dogma, traditions and customs of this day, and compare them to the Book of Acts church. The early churches flowed in the power of God. Every converted soul was taught truth. Repentance, water baptism, being baptized in the Holy Spirit, flowing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit were every day common, not out of the ordinary. Prophecy was as common as miracles, God confirming His words with signs and wonders, they flowed in the Spirit of God. (That is until error, iniquity entered in.) Compare churches, your church, to the letters/epistles sent by Peter, James, John, Jude and Paul, bearing in mind that they are letters of correction and warning. Do you “see” any difference from then to now? Did God change or did man follow after error? To deny difference is to deny truth.
As Paul wrote in Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are so soon removed from him (the Holy Spirit) that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Be accursed is no small matter. The difference between “another gospel, which is not another” is error, partial truth, perversion from truth, foundations being passed off as the finished product, good set for evil, evil set for good, changing Life in the Spirit to fleshly control of God's word. Galatians 3:3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? What of those who never had full truth, those who have come after the seed of error? It is possible to fall from truth and teach error as truth, the bible speaks of it 2000 years ago. What does your church teach? This generation, those born since Israel became a country, are part of the generation that will not pass away. All written prophecy will be fulfilled in this, our generation. The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is out of this generation. We are in the days of; 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. The question becomes, Lord, am I blind to truth? Will be counted as a foolish virgin?
Without faith there is no pleasing God. You cannot receive the Spirit of Truth, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, without faith. If you do not believe when God speaks you are double minded and can receive nothing. The least of us who speak by the Holy Spirit, can speak words that defy debate. There is understanding that God alone gives, by the Spirit of Truth. That truth must be held in patience, waiting on God. In that patience, we do the will of God, possessing our soul. The Holy Spirit does witness/reveal who speaks truth and who does not. Those who are of the Holy Spirit know who is and who isn't of God, by the Holy Spirit, He bears witness, we are of one Spirit. Not everyone who does "miracles" is from God. Not everyone who say Jesus is Lord is of God. Most "Christian books" cannot help you as much as hearing the Holy Spirit speak. It is better to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling than to rely on a man who speaks good intentions, apart from the Holy Spirit. Can we err? Yes! If you err seeking truth, being willing to repent when you hear truth and change, God will lift you up, He loves a humble and contrite spirit. Our God is a jealous God, He is not satisfied with good intentions, those who worship Him must, not an option, worship in His Spirit and in all Truth.
Luke 6:39 And he (Jesus) spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. (The blind do lead the blind, every day, their end is the ditch/pit. Perfection can only be achieved by faith in God's word and understanding from the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to be witnesses, any other way is not God's way.)
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. (Who is this humble today? Who points to God apart from though themselves?)
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (Proverbs 14: 12There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.)
1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. (The holy Spirit bears witness of truth, there is no, I think, or, maybe, it is as substantial as truth by faith.)
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. 8For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Make no mistake, we reap from being obedient to the Holy Spirit, not works or lawfulness.)
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence you are: 26Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and you have taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. (These people thought that they were correct, foolish virgins at best, receiving the reward of the fearful and unbelievers, they thought their way was acceptable to God.)
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10A man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself. (Do you submit to them when they deny truth?)
Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer (allow) you them that are entering to go in. 14Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater damnation. 15Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (These are in the world today. Does any denomination that you know say that they only can "interpret" the Bible and not instruct you to seek God and work out your own salvation, seeking wisdom and understanding from God?)
Matthew 15:10 He (Jesus) called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this, defiles a man. 12Then came his disciples, and said to him, Know you that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said; Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare to us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding? 17Do not you yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man:…. (What comes out of your minister/denomination, good intentions or not? What comes out of you?)
John 9:39.... Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41Jesus said unto them, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Consider the Sadducees who historically did not believe in the resurrection, as the Sadducees of Jesus day. Jesus, in Matthew 22:29 said to them; ”You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God”. They denied truth, Jesus is truth, ergo: they denied Jesus. Hearing truth did not change them, they just became more angry and bitter. They are guilty for passing error as truth to every person that they spread their beliefs to. Fast forward to today. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can get to the Father, heaven, our goal, except through Him. Consider church doctrines, dogma, traditions and customs of this day, and compare them to the Book of Acts church. The early churches flowed in the power of God. Every converted soul was taught truth. Repentance, water baptism, being baptized in the Holy Spirit, flowing in the gifts of the Holy Spirit were every day common, not out of the ordinary. Prophecy was as common as miracles, God confirming His words with signs and wonders, they flowed in the Spirit of God. (That is until error, iniquity entered in.) Compare churches, your church, to the letters/epistles sent by Peter, James, John, Jude and Paul, bearing in mind that they are letters of correction and warning. Do you “see” any difference from then to now? Did God change or did man follow after error? To deny difference is to deny truth.
As Paul wrote in Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are so soon removed from him (the Holy Spirit) that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Be accursed is no small matter. The difference between “another gospel, which is not another” is error, partial truth, perversion from truth, foundations being passed off as the finished product, good set for evil, evil set for good, changing Life in the Spirit to fleshly control of God's word. Galatians 3:3Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? What of those who never had full truth, those who have come after the seed of error? It is possible to fall from truth and teach error as truth, the bible speaks of it 2000 years ago. What does your church teach? This generation, those born since Israel became a country, are part of the generation that will not pass away. All written prophecy will be fulfilled in this, our generation. The falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is out of this generation. We are in the days of; 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. The question becomes, Lord, am I blind to truth? Will be counted as a foolish virgin?
Without faith there is no pleasing God. You cannot receive the Spirit of Truth, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, without faith. If you do not believe when God speaks you are double minded and can receive nothing. The least of us who speak by the Holy Spirit, can speak words that defy debate. There is understanding that God alone gives, by the Spirit of Truth. That truth must be held in patience, waiting on God. In that patience, we do the will of God, possessing our soul. The Holy Spirit does witness/reveal who speaks truth and who does not. Those who are of the Holy Spirit know who is and who isn't of God, by the Holy Spirit, He bears witness, we are of one Spirit. Not everyone who does "miracles" is from God. Not everyone who say Jesus is Lord is of God. Most "Christian books" cannot help you as much as hearing the Holy Spirit speak. It is better to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling than to rely on a man who speaks good intentions, apart from the Holy Spirit. Can we err? Yes! If you err seeking truth, being willing to repent when you hear truth and change, God will lift you up, He loves a humble and contrite spirit. Our God is a jealous God, He is not satisfied with good intentions, those who worship Him must, not an option, worship in His Spirit and in all Truth.
Luke 6:39 And he (Jesus) spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. (The blind do lead the blind, every day, their end is the ditch/pit. Perfection can only be achieved by faith in God's word and understanding from the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to be witnesses, any other way is not God's way.)
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. (Who is this humble today? Who points to God apart from though themselves?)

A People Set Apart Unto Me
Word
Love Me with all that you are, holding nothing back. Have faith to believe that I will do all that I have said I would do in your life. Stir up the gifts that are within you that you may walk in power, according to the leading of My Spirit.
I put you in remembrance of the words I have spoken to you, that all that I have shown you will not tarry but quickly come to pass. I say to all who have ears to hear, let faith arise for every man prophecies by the measure of his faith and I the Lord will not give you more than you are able to bare. I tell you, look to Me in all things for I would not have you to trust in the arm of man. Worship Me in Spirit and in truth always and lift Me up before men that I may have My way in them even as I have in you. Be strong My son, steadfast, letting every step be ordered of Me. I am with you and have chosen you for such a time as this. I have a people that are set apart unto Me.
Love God. Love to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Hate the garment spotted by the flesh. The time to change our lives so that they are pleasing to God is quickly running out. Do not delay.
With love in Jesus,
Ryan
