From prayer on 9/10/2008:
Word
Forget not the words that I have spoken to you. I tell you, put yourself in remembrance of all that My Spirit has revealed concerning the judgment that is to come against those who speak evil in My name. I tell you, I know them not for they love to lord over the weak and to make My house a den of thieves. Though they take pride in all that they built with their fleshly hands, I the Lord will destroy it in one day. They have their reward, but I tell you, all that they have will be taken from them because they chose not to humble themselves before Me and repent of their evil ways, even the sins of their fathers which have been taught of them that love not the truth.
My people, I tell you this day, hold fast to truth. Love Me with all that you are and know that you are who I have called My own. Great is your treasure in heaven for you have believed the words of My mouth and have lived according to all that I have spoken to you. Though you have not seen, yet you believe that I alone have the words to eternal life. You trust in Me for all that you have need of and you desire that no man teach you. You are My people and I am your God. Do not look back at where you came from for My glory is your rear guard and I will let no evil thing come against you.
Love in Him,
Ryan

Amen Ryan.
As it says in James 1:22...be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and straightway forgets what manner of man he was. 25But who so looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Some would say, I can read but what does that mean? Well as it says just before this in James 1:5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. Okay, great what does that mean? I asked!
It is good to ask but you must have an expectation of an answer. As it says in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. To understand this we must accept this in John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Okay God is a Spirit, how do I get wisdom and truth from a Spirit? John 3:... You must be born again. Some say, I am born again but I still don't hear, and they don't necessarily believe Ryan, me (Dave), ESC or anyone else. They are in their own comfort zone of unbelief. Thinking that somehow they are not responsible for what they "don't know", not realizing they "don't know" because they don't believe Jesus. They, the doubting, and at that point, unprofitable servant because they themselves cannot do what Jesus said those that believe would do, would have just proclaimed their own problem, unbelief. Mark 16:17 And 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.
Faith is not just believing that Jesus was the Son of God. Faith is believing His words, every word, and putting them into action by trusting God. If you ask God for something you must believe that He responds. That is: 1.) unless your asking is for a lustful, selfish reason. James 4:3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. Or 2.) you ask with no expectation. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Fast forward; believing, die to self, be transformed by renewing mind>filled with Holy Spirit, die to self>speak in tongues,die to self>interpret tongues, die to self>hearer, able to prophesy, die to self>desire best gifts, die to self, wait on God for ministry, die to self>more die to self, full age, mind of Christ, able to eat strong meat, able to minister without expectations, able to use strong meat, die to self, in patience posessing soul, anxious for absolutely nothing, confident that nothing will overtake you or come upon you unaware, set face like flint, understanding times, hear from the Holy Spirit and write a word like this word understanding that to some it is the power of God for repentance, to others, judgment for unbelief.
People don't have to believe Ryan or me. People don't have to trust any man at all. People will only live by believing every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. We all get to believe what we want. No one gets to say "I didn't know".
Oh faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? After your hardness and impenitent heart you treasure up to yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
