At church Wednesday the Lord spoke this word: Set you eyes upon me. All things are possible to them that believe. By faith you enter in, by faith you shall stand. Think it not strange this fiery trial which is to try you. I purge, I renew you, the old man is dead. Put on Christ this day, think not on the former things. Your path do I make strait yet who will go before me? To them that have an ear to hear: Hold fast, waver not, all that I have shown you will come to pass.
The Lord also showed me a vision. I saw a movie theater and I was looking at the concession area. I could see people lined up waiting to get their snacks and then go into the movie. I found myself standing in the line and I could see an exit off to my left down a hall that spanned the length of the building. At one point I crossed the corral posts and headed toward the exit and I could see the Lord standing by the exit door. When I arrived he looked back and turned to me again and asked "Are you the only one?" As I realized the gravity of the questioned I answered "Yes Lord, I am the only one." The the Lord said "They shall all have their portion without the door where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth". Almost immediately I felt the building shake and I knew the roof was about to collapse. Though I know the vision speaks much to me and where the Lord drew me from the understanding is for all. The movie theater represents religion. People get in line, lulled by the smell of sweets, in this case that which tingles the ears and senses. They get their prophesy in a bag salted to their taste, words good to hear as good as chocolate. The movie though is what they are here for, to be moved at the heart, they want a show, something memorable. So is the lull of religion, for a moment its the blockbuster but when the emotion fades, only the desire to please themselves remains. So the call goes out: Come out, be separate. Strait is the way, narrow the gait, few are those who find it. Heed the call for all those who remain in religion shall have there portion without the door where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Praise the Lord for his grace and mercy towards us. May we be found worthy to stand in his day.
Grace and peace,
Austin

Amen Austin.
One more item, people go to church to be entertained. They don't have to do anything, just sit there enjoying their perception of goodies or snacks. If they like the movie or not is not all that important, it's just taking up time, not redeeming the time. It's not the reality of their life as a living epistle, it's a perception, a dog and pony show, displayed by man, without the reality check of the approval of God. They refuse to understand that being a doer of the word requires serving God as He wills, not C.B. DeMills, MGM, Disney, Paramount or John Woo.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
These signs shall follow them that believe. If that’s not you something is wrong, time to wake up, if you can.

Amen, Austin.
Too many live to have the desires of their hearts rather than living a life of obedience to God. As it was written, they have their portion.
Through these days, weeks of trial and the enemy trying to wear out the minds of the saints, something has become apparent. We must live our lives knowing that God loves and accepts us rather than feeling like He does.
His heart toward us does not change for He knew us before the foundations of the earth were laid. We must enter in, believing that He is ALL that He says He is and that He will do ALL that He said He will do, regardless of how we feel.
Emotions bring you high and then allow you get very low. Truth is the only things that can sustain.
Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Your reward is with our Father in heaven.
God bless,
Ryan
