Choosing in all of Your Ways

This is what the Lord spoke to me on Sunday.

I said turn your face from your iniquity, your sin, and I shall forget your faults and will not lay your sin to heart. But instead, you hardened your heart to me. You turn your cheek away. I said return unto me, and I will return unto you. Yet you loved this world, you loved the craftiness of your own mind. You loved deceit, the hidden sin did you love. You say that you believe in me. You say that God does exist. I say no to your belief. For if you believed that I am, you would have not served the world. You would not have turned away from my call. Do you judge yourself by me? Or do you judge yourself by yourself? A fool tries to justify himself. He makes excuses for his laziness. He is a lover of this world and will not have part with me.

As for you my people.Love me with your whole heart. Love the brotherhood and fellowship. Work out your own salvation with me. Let not your fate be undecided. Choose to serve me and let your calling and election be assured in me. Do not sleep, do not slumber. For you will fall under the unfruitful, the wavering, the slothful servant. There will be weeping and nashing of teeth for those who do not choose me with their whole heart. The lukewarm. Love truth. Choose truth in every way. Depart from iniquity, and let go of the old man. Believe me at my word and move.


God is calling us out to be separate from this world. From this generation. People serve whatever they want to serve. Many "Christians" are in bondage, and they like it that way. Jesus came to save and liberate his people from the snares of this life. That we could walk in the fullness of his spirit. In power and authority through him. Many "Christians" have love for the world. Many of them are comfortable being who they have been for their number of years. God wants us to be free from sin and death. That does not only mean that he doesn't want us to go to hell. Its in the present too. Free from our burdens and pains now. Free from sin and death now. How can we walk in the fullness of his spirit as Jesus, Peter, and Paul did if we are still bound by this world. We need to be patient and wait on God. To let him refine us and form us to be the vessels that he would have us to be. Give all to God and be set free this day. Choose to fight the good fight and do not become weary in well doing.

With love in Christ Jesus,
Chad

Amen Chad.
I wonder if people notice the severity or rather the decisive cord of the words/prophecies that the Holy Spirit has been giving? There is no gauge to the time left before tribulation. It could be hours, days, months or even years. Our focus should not be on the time, although we sense the nearness, but on who we are in Christ. Are we as the good servants of Matthew 25? Have we sought truth with our whole heart? Have we done what our Lord said to do?

Or are we as the wicked servant? Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I am sad for the fearful and unbelieving, who fear making a mistake so they do nothing. Not understanding the kingdom of God in that the hungry/violent take it by force. I am sad for the religious and for the falsely indoctrinated, for their children, for all that they kept from truth. They think themselves in good enough standing with God, only to find their portion weeping and gnashing teeth.

Amen, Chad.

It all comes down to choosing who you (I) will serve. Will men choose to serve other men? Will they choose to believe a different gospel, one that is not the gospel of our Lord Jesus? Will men choose to believe that the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ our Lord?

If they do not choose, if they do not hold themselves accountable unto God for all of these things, they might as well turn and run now because they cannot possibly life a life of righteousness before the Lord and walk with one foot in the world at the same time.

We must please God in all that we say and do. If He is not lifted up and a man is lifted up instead, how can the Lord draw men unto Him?

God be with you brother and continue to keep your ears opened to all that the Spirit is speaking to you. It blesses me to hear and see you growing in the knowledge of our Lord.

God bless,
Ryan
