All who fear God, feel an urgency right now to examine ourselves to see whether we be in the faith and prepare for translation. The Lord is putting the finishing touches on his people who remain behind in the world. As we see the day approaching we are admonished to not forsake the coming together to bolster one another, as is the custom of some, even more as you see THE DAY approaching. The day approaching looks to be more than one thing. The day star rising in us which is the sign from God that salvation is working in us. As our hearts are being converted and Christ if being formed in us. I also just was wondering if the day approaching is also the day of our conversion, when the Lord carries us thru to the inner court. It is true that this refers to the end when the Lord appears visibly and at that event time is stopped, when we are converted and both as David would say, visibly,butled with the Holy Ghost, Jesus did return to us. the only thing that matters is that we travail from being a baby, until we are delivered, and filled with the Holy Ghost. The character God builds in us through this process is what equips as for what is ahead. Continual preparation so as things come up we are continually prepared. Nice thanks Lord. This is all that matters. I believe this as the Lord says thousands will fall at thy left..and 10,000 on thy right but it wall not come nigh to thee, this seems to be indicating what I was just saying. As long as we remain on the highway of holiness where no beast can come, we have all we need, as he is our provider. The travail of our death as we enter the fellowship of his suffering. I am deeply humbled, as I recently had a difficult trial, I fell backward in sin and was turned over for the destruction of the flesh unto the saving of the soul. While I sought freedom and desired to get out of Satan's dungeon, I was powerless. God let me continue in this bondage until such time and I was able to face the truth of my condition in the present tense, condemnation was on me and I was dead in sin. This was the most horrifying thing I have ever been thru, if those who labor build without the Lord, they do it in vain. The flood continually coming out of the dragons mouth, washes you away and your taken captive by the devil at his will for not being in obedience to God. What God showed me in the last couple days, was my utter powerlessness and death, when I finally saw the strong hold, I had to confess out loud to God all that he had shown me, as I confessed I was aware and saw him calling to remembrance the Word he wanted and as I confessed I watched each confession and point of sin, renewed and healed, As he applied the Word. Dear brethren,I cannot understate the sense of urgency, that we remain in a continual state of examining ourselves to see if we are in the faith. This is another way of saying....
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
I received reproof for my conduct and back slidings, it was difficult to face. The Lord gave me grace to see him working in me, comforting me. He kept me not sleeping much or eating much for 3 days and 3 nights, after which he broke the stronghold and I felt the spirit of death leaving,and the river started flowing. If any sin has a foothold, even if you are just struggling and cant see it yet, cry out. HELP ME JESUS at the top of your voice. Sound the the alarm, blow the trumpet. He will, at the point of repentance move on our heart.In that he reveals our powerlessness and is glorified by our confession and praise him for his rod and staff for they comfort us. Praise the Lord. Also as we mature in the faith, the stakes go up and we are help accountable for what we understand. Sin is death and we immediately begin to suffer death in that sin and loss begins as Satan comes but to steal and destroy. Peradventure, If the Lord would give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth,that they MAY recover themselves, who are taken captive by the devil at his will. If we are struggling with sin, be advised as you reaching for the sin and trespass into Satan's kingdom, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL COME OUT. The biggest danger is the doubt and unbelief that comes with the death, for faith and confidence in him are our shield. So as soon as the devil comes in he strips us of our armor. God judges the thoughts and intents of the heart, if he sees we know better but and don't look to him, he will answer us according to our idols if we are in sin. We are then wandering in the wilderness eating our fill of fowl/foul sin until we vomit. Only his Word clarifies our true motives, and the flesh is so wicked, we must watch over our mind with extreme diligence. For 120 days I was aware that I was in the outer court. I needed that reproof, if God did not show me that, I may have not have finished the race by receiving a finished work. He doesn't want us scared, that fear paralyzes, he wants faith and reverence in our fear of him. He wants us to behold the goodness (cross) and the severity of God,(he is not a respecter of man and will thrust all who wont submit into eternal separation. This is what they love so they will eat of it forever. Those who wont repent receive the slow death in this realm and don't know it, waking up in hell is a slow death, and are continually aware that the torment will never end. Many are called and few are CHOSEN, those with him, present tense seated in heavenly places in Christ, are called/hear the gospel and believe, and chosen,God sees us respond so he moves in our heart applying the blood,and faithful, the only way to enter the inner court is to be in a constant fellowship with the Lord following after him walking on his Word and he keeps us faithful because we are submitting to the constant discipline of being in his Word. Salvation is not our understanding of what God is doing, or as I now clearly understand, salvation is a work not in our mind. But a work in our soul and spirit that yields a renewing of the mind as we cannot even think to look at the Word of God accept he draw us. Our flesh hates God and must be by the power of his Spirit and Word in us be brought in submission and made to obey held in subjection by the working of our salvation and obedience to the Word. The renewing of the mind is the continual washing of our mind in the Word. Walking as a bond servant, submitting to the yoke and leading of the Lord. We need to be in the inner court when time stops, either by your leaving the earth or at our translation. Get in while you can, this is the time of the bolted door. God is gathering us all into the ark of his covenant in Jesus Christ that we are hid today from his indignation. I have been so blessed by the present tense. If we don't apply the Word in real time now, and look to the future or the past, we will miss of what God is showing us. I know this as the Lord commands us to not think about tomorrow. As we enter into salvation and are passed to life in the present tense we are in heaven,now and forever. If your in trouble cry out. If your stuck keep confessing your faults to those God has in your life that they can pray, if are too ashamed to tell the truth, then pride needs to be subdued,and let the Lord sit in the seat of the king, in our hearts. I witnessed,looking back, God moving some of the crushing burden to those who are faithful in prayer. During the darkest hrs of my trial, the trial for my eternal life. God worked salvation in a brother next door. I at the time was seeing him doing things thru me, while I was paralyzed in my sin. This was an object lesson for me to see how much I contribute to his work, nada. It is one thing to know and confess we bring nothing to the table. It, is another think entirely to subdue the flesh. Part of the reason we admonished to be in the Word, is there are things God wants to take away from us that we can see until the Word is applied in our hearts. God delivered somebody by the trial I was going through. Our nature is such that we cant endure too much praise, I find that if you remain humble and trust God he will see to the encouragement you need, not the attention flesh wants. The walk with God is not even comparable to anything we see in the world. In the world people love to man please and as Pastor would say, pass Glory around. Haha..Thank you Lord for all the memories. The point I am driving at is that many in the body are being hurt by lack of knowledge. God says his people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. What we do not know in the Word can cause us to suffer loss. The only way to completely subdue the flesh is by fasting and prayer. The supernatural component in fasting is a amazing and necessary gift. The power of fasting was just used in my life in a way I can only describe is like the paramedics who do the scoop and run when the patient is in bad shape and they need to get moving even before they know the full picture. This mechanism should be known and practiced by all who fear God. Fastings and prayer are an ongoing tool to keep the flesh in subjection, and also a last line of defense when the battle turns for the worst, and the banner needs to be raised, only you dont have the strength to raise it. What then? The Lord caused me to start a modified fast during my trial. The fast in that circumstance I just learned, is a way for God to defer some of his anger and judgment when one of his children falls. I was in those hours of my sin, fearful the Lord was going to smote me where I stood.. Our dear brother , new in Christ, was in his bed unable to get up for almost a week. Toward the end of that, he is laying there in the dark , God says pray for Robert. He has marvelous innocent faith. A real joy to see. God also afflicted my brother to show me the effect of sin on the body, if one part is sick we are all sick. And when I confessed and asked his forgiveness, all he said was I love you. Not only did I have to ask forgiveness for him having to carry part of mine, but for hating him. If or when we choose our own will, we are hating our brothers and sisters and we are whipping and beating the other servants. There is an effect on the entire body. The evil was so heavy at one point, I , while was unable to cry out and being devoured, felt the earth shake under my feet from the evil. So I ask the forgiveness this day from all my brothers and sisters in Christ, for any suffering I caused or grief from my own selfishness. Please forgive me, and pray for all in the body who are in the condition. While my trial was unique in details I am convinced that there are many who are needing more water and food then what there getting and are just not able to see. The ordained process is God gives us all a piece of the picture and we as a body must operate so that we are sharpening each other, and each part of a congregation in the body but I just learned be operating in harmony with God for his will to get done. This means we all have an individual responsibility to the whole body. Submit one to another. The denial of self in this world is a foreign concept. The whole body needs to know that part of loving our neighbor as our self, is denying ourselves for others. This is the most powerful testimony and witness of the gospel. God can do more through submitted Christians. This is a sobering responsibility, as we may if we fall into sin, cause the brethren in our immediate life, to stumble as now the door in their heart connected to you becomes a conduit for evil communication. Thank you to the disciplined prayer warriors, I praise the Lord for that ministry in faithful brothers and sisters. I reached a point of such exasperation at my own sin, if not for all those who God had praying for me, I see I could have very easily not made it out by giving up. I have thought I just need to not give up. What I was able to see with this reproof, is that God is doing it all. I had a bad habit of saying in struggles I gotta do better. I would pray Lord help me do better. That is a problem, what I need to do is do nothing. :) Its me that is in the way. We all died in the garden and we are all resurrected in Christ. But our resurrection is the soul and spirit at this point. So until our bodily resurrection hits the time line and our mortal bodies are quickened, we are still dead in Christ hid in God. It makes total sense but until God showed me what my mind was doing to me, I could not see it. Not because of lack of wanting, the constant washing of our mind in the Word is the only thing that will expose the evil in us we must repent of to finish the race. If you cant pray and have no fellowship, how will you cry out. Who will intercede in prayer, The Holy Ghost, will, however he ordained the process of how we work in the body and help each other. The mechanism God used to pull me out of the fire was the working of his spirit in the body. For a period of time before deliverance he had me confessing the truth of my condition to my brothers and sisters so they could pray and I could be healed. It was a lot easier to repent of the pride once I was shown my actually location outside where the dogs go back to their vomit, thank you Lord, how can we repent if we are blind and cannot see what to pray. The fasting he imposed gave me the spark of his spirit to again be able to pray, then he resurrected me again, from the dead and quickened me in his Word. Through that process he showed me that I would not have been set free, accept he caused me to confess my faults repeatedly to brothers and sisters, caused me to fast, and appeased his anger by sharing the burden with brethren and afflicting our brother here. This is submitting one to another, carrying each others burdens. As I confessed repeatedly he transferred some of the weight to my dear brethren. And as they all prayed over and over period of time, the vial filled up and was poured out, and I began rising out of the fire. And again could see the door of repentance and escape. If anyone thinks they can go in and out of that realm, repent now. The tools you have in the battle walking with him, are absent when we sin. The sea of glass mingled with fire, the picture of our deliverance and salvation, is of us rising above the curse as our bonds are burned off by suffering in the flesh, we cease from sin as we enter the fellowship of his suffering. We enter his rest. I believe for us him swearing they would not enter his rest, means without the finished work of salvation working in us, we cannot enter the inner court and no more go out. I have done the unstable in and out thing, yikes, ouch, don't do that. Our minds are working against us, if we don't every day renew and put on the mind of Christ feasting with the Word at the wedding feast, our natural mind starts to gain ground against us as we fall backward...when we sin in willful disobedience, and resist as our fathers did in the provocation while we walk in the same wilderness, we are testing him, and he will show you his work....of discipline. It grieves our Father when he sees the spirit of Anti Christ standing in the Holy Place, and he will cleanse it, out. With or without our cooperation. Please hold fast to what you have as our eternal lives depend on it. Give all you have and make sure you have your exact spiritual GPS location by steadfastly looking at your reflection in the face of Jesus, he brings us to continued repentance, if we are not working on our salvation we are in jeopardy. Praise the Lord... if we betray him and sin, this is tantamount to accepting 30 pieces of silver, death disguised as sin, from the devil for breaking covenant with the Lord, and at that point we blaspheme making our Holy God out to be a liar by denying his Word in the present tense. We are lost until we repent and enter into the covenant again. The Lord ,he alone is God, the bride is making herself ready as God brings us all to our position in his perfect will. Praise the Lord Jesus..there is nothing greater then his work of salvation at the cross. The unbelief is the serious danger in sin. It overtook and spread in me like a spiritual pathogen. Thanks to all who have been so loving and gracious to me during a difficult trial, God bless you for your continuing efforts, all who labor in the harvest.
