Who Are You To God

From yesterday (10/12/2008) during church:

Word
I look for those who are faithful and who have the love of the truth found in them. For you have possessed your soul in patience and have waited on Me that My will would be done in you. Having done all else, all that I have required of you, you have stood, holding fast to My promises and knowing that I the Lord am for you. I tell you, I come quickly and My reward is with Me. The nations will be judged and My wrath poured out in all the earth. But, I tell you destruction will not draw near those who have fixed their eyes on Me and the things of above.

There are those who say they are mine and that they walk according to truth, but I ask, has My spirit led you into all truth? Only those who are led by My Spirit are My sons and daughters. But I say to you this day, will you not come, selling all that you have and follow after Me? Every man must work out his own salvation with fear and trembling but I say, how can you receive My correction if you cannot hear My voice? Cast down the wisdom of men and the traditions of men so that you may walk according to the leading of My Spirit. Ask for the fullness of My Spirit, even that your lamp may be filled, for the day comes quickly when those who have not filled their lamp with oil will walk in darkness and fear. For though they have professed Me with their lips, they have not determined it in their hearts to take up their cross and follow Me. I tell you, no flesh will glory in My presence.

It is My Spirit that will go before you and lead you into all truth, all that I would have you to do (accomplish). If any hold back and do not allow My Holy Spirit to fill them, how then can they walk in obedience according to the leading of My Spirit? They rely on what they have been taught of men therefore their end is the pit (the blind leading the blind).

Vision/Understanding
I saw a brief vision of a man walking in the dark with a lantern/lamp held out in front of him. It was not lit (had no oil). The man walked down a path, not seeing what was in front of him or what path he was on and fell into a large pit. Those that followed after fell in the same pit.

May God continue to chasten those that He loves and may we all have ears to hear what He is speaking always. The day of darkness draws close and only those who will allow the Holy Spirit to lead them into all truth can know to pray that they are found worthy to escape.

Love in Jesus,
Ryan

Amen man. The light shines in the darkness, for whatsoever is light makes manifest all that is in the darkness. But this is their condemnation, that they loved darkness more than light. The light came (Jesus, his Holy Spirit)to manifest all that is in the darkness, yet they hardened their hearts and chose this life. May we always choose the Lord, having our eyes and hearts set upon Him and all his ways. Strait is that way and surly few have found it and even fewer walk in the way. Judgment is soon to be poured out and you (we, the obedient, those who waited upon the Lord and did not fall back) will see it with our very eyes. Lord may we be found worthy to escape the wrath to come, in faith, taking the promises by force, that when we see you we would be like you.

John 3\
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Amen Ryan.

Where does it say in the Bible that God has a double standard? I'm okay, your okay! Where does it say that God regards the opinion of Man? Where does it say that there are multiple ways to the Father? Where does it say that mans doctrine has any value? Where does it say that any interpretation is good with God? Where does it say doing Gods will is an option? Where does it say that man is incapable of error? Where does it say in Gods word that men or those people that they teach will be okay because of honest error?

It does in fact speak to all of the above. In fact on every point Gods word speaks to the contrary. Why does it say work out your own salvation with fear?

If the religious think that the biblical Jesus' house cleaning was the limit, and today’s standards are the same, better think again. God’s anger is hot. If those that are scripturally righteous will be scarcely saved, and that’s doing everything right, what will their end be? I know, it's in God's word. Why don't they? Judging isn't all that difficult, it just requires a love of truth.
