Word 22/10/08 "I am not mocked"

Lead to read Job 33 the Lord put focus on the particular verses which are highlighted in bold.

Job 33
1Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Then the Lord gave this word:-

"I am faithful, A Father to the fatherless a Father over them that name the name of Christ. Was I not faithful when I left you My Spirit? When He the Spirit of truth who leads you in to all truth was sent unto you? Surely I am faithful, I am with you. But woe for them that call Me Lord yet harken not unto My Spirit, even so they resist the chastening of My Spirit. They love the world, they bathe in their sins, they think I do not see, am I not God? Can sin be hidden from Me? Can a man hide his ways from Me? I am the living God, I will visit all the iniquities of them that call Me Lord. For I am here even I the Spirit of Truth to lead you into all truth, to be as I am, but they refused Me, loving the life of a liar, loving a life as an unbeliever, where is their end? Where is the eternal place for them? Be not decieved I am not mocked, for I will render a man according to his ways. Look at yourselves, examine yourselves by the truth found in Me, by the truth of My word. Oh you who call Me Lord yet love that which I hate, I the Lord am not mocked, I will reward you according to your ways. I am the Most High I will return as Judge, I will seperate the sheep from the goats, there is a place for the sheep and a place for the goats. To you My servant I say, "hide not the Light" for the hour of judgement dwells over the earth though they are blind it rests over their heads, ready. Even as the cloud releases its rain so too is My judgement ready to be poured out upon ALL ungodly Men."

Comment:-
The Lord did reveal to me a few weeks ago that judgement will soon begin in the house of God in England as it has in America, hence the last few words received have been about "Christians" and where they stand in light of Truth.One thing I have noticed about Christians around me is that though they appear to have repented of "obvious sins", there is still that refusal to strive onto the perfection of Christ and even turn from sins that people will say "arn't really all that bad". For example too often I've heard God's name used carelessly, worldliness, outburst of wrath even speaking with guile and distasteful language. God doesn't change He is the same yesterday today and forever, therefore He was, is and will always be holy. Many cry out how narrow/straight the gate is, and forget that the "way" is also narrow that leads unto life. But God is also faithful not allowing us to be tempted beyond that we can bare. He sent us the Holy Spirit whom if followed we will be like our Master, and be free from sin. But do they all follow the Holy Spirit?

Revelation 22
14Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie(little lie/white lie included).

2 Timothy 2
19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let ever one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.


Love in Christ

James
