The Watchful Christian
March 25, 2012

"But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. . . . And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." (Mark 13:32-33, 37)

Every believer, in all places and times, has been commanded by Christ Himself to watch for His return. Since we cannot know the day nor the hour, we are to be watchful always. There are at least eight references in the New Testament commanding us to watch for His coming.

Many people have tried to calculate the date of Christ's coming. But Jesus said, "In such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 24:44). If anyone "thinks" he has figured out the time, we can be sure that calculation is wrong! If even the Lord Jesus Himself, within the self-limiting confines of His humanity, did not know the time of His return, it is unscriptural and presumptuous for any of us to think we can determine it.

In fact, the very reason for its uncertainty is to stimulate watchfulness on the part of the believer. When a believer starts to "say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming" (Luke 12:45), there arises a real danger that he will fall into sinful habits.

The daily attitude of "looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" is a real incentive for one to "live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world" (Titus 2:13, 12). "When he shall appear, we shall be like him," John promises, "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" (1 John 3:2-3). We should continually "abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming" - 1 John 2:28. HMM

Wisdom and Prudence

"At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes." (Matthew 11:25)

The attributes of wisdom and prudence are prized very highly by the world and its leaders, but worldly wisdom and pragmatic prudence are incapable in themselves of comprehending the spiritual concepts in the plan of God. The Lord Jesus, in fact, considered this very truth a cause for thanksgiving! One does not need either education or wisdom to appropriate the true wisdom of God, for even a young child (in fact, only one who becomes like a child) is able to understand true wisdom. "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3).

The fact that most of the world’s scholars reject the Word of God is not surprising, because God promised this would be the case! "It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent," for "the world by wisdom knew not God" (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21). Genuine wisdom and prudence are found only through the revealed Word of God. There, however, "he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence" (Ephesians 1:8.). God desires that our "faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. . . . But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:5, 7-8.) The abounding wisdom and prudence of God are hidden from the wise and prudent of the world, but are life and joy to all who come with the believing trust of little children. HMM

The Aroma
March 30, 2012

"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour." (Ephesians 5:1-2)

Incense in Scripture has a variety of rich and meaningful usages, particularly as related to the blood sacrifice. "And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: . . . And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee" (Exodus 30:1, 6). Without this incense, it was impossible to meet with God in this prescribed way. It was to be offered both morning and evening (vv. 7-8.) Great care was to be taken in its preparation (vv. 34-36), and it was not to be used for any other purpose (vv. 37-38.)

In the New Testament we find a totally different application of this principle. As in our text, we see that Jesus Christ Himself has become an offering and a "sweet-smelling savour" to God. His freely offering Himself is an example to us to live a life of sacrifice and love.

While He was the final sacrifice, we are to "present |our| bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is |our| reasonable service" (Romans 12:1). This may even take the form of material "things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God" (Philippians 4:18.)

In the mind of God, our life of sacrifice is a sweet-smelling savor. "Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish" (2 Corinthians 2:14-15). Without our willing, living sacrifice, we cannot approach God, but with it, we are a "sweet savour of Christ." JDM

Children of Light
April 1, 2012

"For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light." (Ephesians 5:8.)

There are a number of beautiful metaphors used in the Bible describing those who have become true "children of God" (1 John 3:10) by the new birth. As children tend to take on the characteristics of their parents as they grow, so God's spiritual children should be growing in the grace of God and the knowledge of God (2 Peter 3:18.)

Similarly, Christians are called "children of light, and the children of the day" (1 Thessalonians 5:5). Therefore, as in our text, we should "walk as children of light."

The Lord Jesus spoke of us as "children of the kingdom" in Matthew 13:38. We should, therefore, live and speak as those born into the kingdom of God, and as faithful subjects of the King of kings.

Christ also called us "children of wisdom" (Matthew 11:19), and this surely implies that we should, in our understanding and in our decisions, have "the mind of Christ" who "is made unto us wisdom" (1 Corinthians 2:16; 1:30).

In contrast, note the metaphors applied in the Bible to those who have not (at least not yet) become children of God by being "born again" through faith in the triune God. We ourselves once "were by nature the children of wrath, even as others" (Ephesians 2:3). We--and they--were also called "children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2; also in Ephesians 5:6 and Colossians 3:6).

Unbelievers are also called "children of this world" (Luke 16:8,) and even "children of the wicked one" (Matthew 13:38.) and "children of the devil" (1 John 3:10).

Returning to the metaphor of our text, "if we walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1 John 1:7), then we can no longer "walk in darkness," for we have "the light of life" (John 8:12). HMM

Judgment Is Coming
April 9, 2012

"So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Romans 14:12).

There is only one thing that is absolutely sure to happen to every person--everyone will have to face God some day. Not even "death and taxes" are certain for every one, but meeting God for an accounting of one's life is certain!

Therefore, as the prophet Amos warned some 2,500 years ago: "Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel" (Amos 4:12). "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

To the Christian believer, of course, there is no need to fear hell, for there is "now no condemnation |that is, 'judgment'| to them which are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). The Lord Jesus has paid for our sins and purchased our redemption with His shed blood. He "was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25).

Nevertheless, we as Christians still "must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:10), where "the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide . . . he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire" (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).

Those who die in unbelief, however, not having trusted Christ as their Saviour, will face a different meeting with God. The apostle John describes the awesome scene as he saw it in his prophecy. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works" (Revelation 20:12). But no one can ever be saved by his works (Ephesians 2:9). Therefore, "whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15). HMM

The Same Mind
April 11, 2012

"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (1 Corinthians 1:10)

The days of the early church were the days of its greatest power because they were days of its greatest unity. "They, continuing daily with one accord . . . and singleness of heart." "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: . . . and great grace was upon them all" (Acts 2:46; 4:32-33). It was not long, however, before divisions, contentions, and schisms crept in. Therefore, the New Testament contains many exhortations toward a restoration of the unity--and thus the power--of the early church. Note the following examples:

"Be of the same mind one toward another" (Romans 12:16). "Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God" (Romans 15:5-6). "Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you" (2 Corinthians 13:11). "Stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel" (Philippians 1:27). "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind" (Philippians 2:2). "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous" (1 Peter 3:8.)

Real unity, of course, must be both "the unity of the Spirit" and "the unity of the faith" (Ephesians 4:3, 13), and "the same mind" must be nothing less than the mind of Christ. "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:5). HMM

[b]The LORD's Words for Today (Posted at End-Times-Prophecy.Com)

A Word Given by the LORD regarding HIS incredible sacrifice on the cross for humanity (received by Susan, April 10, 2012):

“Mankind cannot reach the height of the depth of MY Sacrifice”…YAHUSHUA

The LORD’s Words: I am a GOD,
WHO is Jealous-Hearted Over You MY Children

(A Letter from the LORD Dictated to Susan, April 7, 2012):

Let us begin:

MY children, it is I, your LORD. I come to you with great discouragement. This hour is growing darker by the day and many of MY children are not following MY Words. They are seeking after false truths and false doctrines.

This is an hour of discernment, MY children. You must come to ME for this discernment. There is nowhere else to go. Only I can fill your oil lamp. Only I speak the Truth. MY Truth is in MY Word. It is in the time you spend with ME in prayer. I am a GOD WHO can be found.

Seek ME. Put ME in first place in your life. I will show up. I must be first. Test MY Word. This is Truth from MY Word. I am a GOD WHO is jealous-hearted over you MY children. I want you to make ME first in your heart.

Come to ME and you will find ME. Pursue ME. Make ME the MASTER of your heart, your life. I will come in and bring you fresh insight for MY Word. MY SPIRIT will open your eyes to Truth and I will lead you down paths of righteousness, light, and love everlasting.

I am an Everlasting GOD—MY Realm is eternal. Come with ME and be with ME for eternity. Soon I will be taking out MY true church, MY eternal bride. She is worthy. She pursues ME. She only has eyes for ME. Her eyes are not looking to the world for answers. She knows I am the ONE with all the answers. She seeks ME for all of her answers and I bring her along MY Ways of safe passage. She is safe in MY Arms, Loving Arms. She never looks back to the world for answers. She is not like Lot’s wife. She knows I am the Only WAY, TRUTH, and LIFE.

Follow ME now in these dark days ahead. I will never forsake you. There is no other way, although many ways look safe. It is MY Blood Covering that will save you—make you ready to stand before MY FATHER. HE will receive you because of MY Blood-Covering. There is no other way to salvation. Repent; lay your life at MY Feet: not in partial submission, but in full submission. Give ME a full surrender. It is not too late. Time is short. Come to ME now!

I paid your price. I did it, no one else. You cannot do it. Only MY Blood makes it possible to be received by MY FATHER. Don’t turn down so great a Gift. MY Death on a cruel cross brings you this Salvation. There is no other way to this freedom. Soon time will be up and MY church will be lifted out of the earth to her Eternal Reward, her place with her BRIDEGROOM.

This is the hour of true discernment. Rest easy on MY Shoulders; let ME carry you away to safety. Come one, come all. I make this Way available by MY Sacrifice. No one else and no other way will ever accomplish what I have done: GOD Eternal, WHO died in your place. This Gift cannot be bought or earned. Nothing you can do will pay for this gift lest you boast.

It is free for the asking. Free for the taking. Come in humble repentance and surrender. Receive Life. Receive this today. Tomorrow may be too late.

Receive life. Receive this today. Tomorrow may be too late.

I am your LORD and SAVIOUR waiting patiently on MY lost children. Come home to your SHEPHERD.

Life is in the tongue. Call on MY Name and be saved.

Your LORD,
YAHUSHUA[/b][/color]

Gospel by Revelation
April 12, 2012

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11-12)

In writing to the believers in Galatia, Paul was concerned that they were "so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel" (v. 6).

What was Paul's gospel that he was so concerned about? "Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever" (vv. 3-5). Furthermore, he added that "if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed" (v. 9). They were not to listen even if Paul or "an angel from heaven" (v. 8.) preached another gospel.

Paul's gospel, on the other hand, was "not after man," i.e., not the sort of thing that men would make up. Human religions are all man-glorifying and God-degrading, blurring the difference between the two and tempting man with the age-old taunt: "Ye shall be as gods" (Genesis 3:5). In contrast, the gospel which Paul preached recognised man's utter sinfulness and worthlessness and rested in a glorified Christ for His finished work.

Paul had not "received it of man." This was not the tradition among his people. "Neither was I taught it," said Paul, even though he had been taught extensively in the religion of Judaism. On the contrary, he was taught the gospel "by the revelation of Jesus Christ." We can therefore not only be sure of its accuracy, but, also with Paul, join in the "ministry, which |he| received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24). JDM

THE ONLY STRAIGHT PATH TO BE RESCUED: THE LORD’s BLOOD



Serious Letter Given by The LORD YEHUSHUA to Susan, March 28, 2012:



Daughter, listen carefully as I give you Words:

Children, this is your LORD Speaking. I want you to listen carefully. MY Work with the “I Am Coming!” Letters is being used by the enemy for a platform of deceit. It has come up to MY Throne Room.

MY children, water fasting and other efforts of the flesh can never take the place or diminish the importance of MY Precious Blood Covering. I am a GOD WHO is clear in HIS Word.

MY Blood is the only thing that will save you, try as you might through other means, you cannot save yourself through works. You must come to ME in humble surrender. Lay your life at MY Feet. Repent of your evil and sin—your carnal nature.

Hand your life over to ME in complete fullness. Let ME wash you clean in MY Blood. This is how you are washed clean. Fasting, children, is a form of self denial—an act of dying to self, but there is not enough fasting that can replace MY Blood. You will come up short if this is your focus.

I paid the price. I died a grisly death on a humbling cross on a hill. I took many beatings until MY flesh was ripped to shreds. MY Whole Countenance was unrecognizable at the hands of evil men. Yes, they came at ME with a vengeance, but MY Blood is powerful enough to have saved any one of them who poured out their wrath on ME and I pleaded to MY FATHER for their forgiveness as I pray for you, MY children, in heaven.

Children, it is by MY Grace that you are freed from sin in this age. You must seek a filling of MY HOLY SPIRIT. You must have a full oil lamp to be ready for MY Coming!

Children, do not listen to words that lead you to works—your works are as filthy rags before MY HOLINESS.

I am coming soon. Yes, MY Coming is soon. Those who are watching already know this. Get on your knees. Repent of your sin. Follow hard after ME through intimacy. This is where you will find safety from the deception of the enemy. He is out to destroy MY children, MY loved ones and those who are yet to come in before I close the door.

Children, read MY Book. It is a lamp that lights your feet. Do not deny yourself this lamp.

Children, MY Blood can save you. This is the key to your preparation to MY Coming for the bride. Repent of your sins and ask for MY Blood Covering. There is no other way. Fasting and taking communion only heighten OUR intimacy, but MY Blood is the key to your salvation. Don’t be deceived.

MY Love is great. I am coming for a prepared bride. Enter into MY Gates of Freedom and Love.

Come. Repent. Wash your robes clean in MY Blood. Receive and acknowledge MY Blood-bought ransom paid on a hard cross: MY Cross of horror and shame—your Cross to honor and deliverance.

This is your LORD,

Great in Truth and Deliverance

Hebrews 9:13-14 (KJV): 13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14How much more shall the Blood of CHRIST, WHO through the Eternal SPIRIT offered HIMSELF without spot to GOD, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living GOD?

Revelation 1:5 (KJV): And from JESUS CHRIST, WHO is the faithful witness, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto HIM that loved us, and washed us from our sins in HIS own Blood,

Revelation 5:9 (KJV): And they sung a new song, saying, THOU art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for THOU wast slain, and hast redeemed us to GOD by THY Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Revelation 7:14 (KJV): And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the Blood of the LAMB.
Revelation 12:11 (KJV): And they overcame him by the Blood of the LAMB, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
John 14:6 (KJV): JESUS saith unto HIM, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the FATHER, but by ME.

MY children, this is your LORD Speaking. I am coming very soon. MY Coming is near, even at the door. I am coming! You need to make ready.

This journal was completed during a 40-day fast by MY daughter Susan. She did this fast at MY Request. I brought her to a secluded location so that she might die to herself. During this time, I gave her many Words that I wanted to go out to MY children. So she wrote MY Words as I led her. All these Letters have important information you need to read and consider, as MY Coming is near.

This is your LORD and SAVIOR,

Peaceful Security
April 13, 2012

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7)

This precious promise is rooted in the "garrision guard" that God will set around our hearts and minds through His peace. Imagine the war circle of angels "full of horses and chariots of fire round about" that Elisha spoke of (2 Kings 6:17).

And it is a war! "But I see another law in my members," Paul wrote, "warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members" (Romans 7:23). Were it not for the peace that exceeds human comprehension, we would quickly succumb to the fact that "in the world |we| shall have tribulation;" but Jesus also said, "be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

The "peace of God" is a supernatural peace, not a false calm of meditative hypnosis or a denial of the turmoil that surrounds the "roaring lion" who seeks to devour (1 Peter 5:8.) This peace is from our Lord Jesus and "not as the world giveth" (John 14:27). It comes through the "things I have spoken unto you," Jesus said, "that in me ye might have peace" (John 16:33).

Since, however, this kind of supernaturally guarded and God-given peace comes from and through the message of the Scriptures, this peace must "rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15). There can be no vacillation, no hesitation about the source, the authority, the capability, or the stability of such peace--or the war that rages in the members of our body will dissipate the vision of God's garrison surrounding our hearts and minds. "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace" (Romans 8:6).

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful" (Colossians 3:15). HMM III

Boldness in the Holy Place
April 16, 2012

"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus" (Hebrews 10:19)

In the ancient tabernacle only the High Priest was allowed to enter the "holy of holies" to commune with God, and that only once a year, on the great day of atonement. This most holy place was separated from the rest by a very heavy veil. When Christ died, however, as the one final and perfect sacrifice, "the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom" (Matthew 27:51).

This miraculous rending of the veil was intended by the Lord to symbolize the wonderful truth that we now have open access to come into the very presence of God, "By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh" (Hebrews 10:20). Thus, as our text says, we no longer must go by way of priests and sacrifices to come to God. We can enter directly "into the holiest by the blood of Jesus."

Because of what Christ has done for us, we can come boldly (not arrogantly or presumptuously, however) into God's presence in prayer. "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:15-16).

We can also have confidence (same Greek word as for 'boldness') in witnessing for Christ. After praying for boldness, "with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all" (Acts 4:33).

Just as did the apostles, in Christ we now "have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him" (Ephesians 3:12). HMM

Blessed Assurance
April 17, 2012

"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever" (Isaiah 32:17)

As expressed in the old gospel hymn, the "blessed assurance, Jesus is mine" is a "foretaste of glory divine." According to our text, this "assurance for ever," together with true peace of soul and quietness of spirit, are products of the "work of righteousness."

The New Testament exposition of genuine righteousness makes it clear that we who have received Christ's work of righteousness by faith have been "made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). "To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5).

Thus, salvation is the priceless possession of those to whom Christ's work of righteousness has been imputed, through faith. On the other hand, the assurance of salvation, accompanied by quietness and peace of heart, is "experienced" only by saved believers who practice the work of righteousness in their daily walk with the Lord. If we truly have salvation, then we ought to manifest the "things that accompany salvation. . . . For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name. . . . And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end" (Hebrews 6:9-11).

We can, indeed, know that we are saved simply through faith in His work and His Word (e.g., 1 John 5:13). Nevertheless, to know that one's faith itself is genuine, God has given us this test of faith. "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments" (1 John 2:3).

This is surely blessed assurance of salvation and a foretaste of glory divine! HMM

Dearest Beloveds,
The time is NOW to seek Me more with ALL your heart, soul and strength! For the hour, dear ones, is upon us—that you become My end-time Royal Priests, My Holy Tabernacles, My sons and daughters who will be My LIGHT and display MY GLORY to this dark and dying world you are in. IT is time to take your focus off of yourselves and your internet channels and surfing chat rooms...and the World altogether...to hear the WORDS FROM ME, MY SON AND OUR SPIRIT...and to SEEK US yourselves, beloveds. My Word is living, and much of what has been hidden and not revealed or open until now— as spoken in Daniel—is now being revealed and discerned in these times!

I need YOU, like in Acts 2, to be fully waiting in one accord with your Brethren and the Bride across the world NOW, so I can fully fill you! I need you to be of a broken heart & contrite spirit, and repenting of any sins you do—immediately! I need you to be seeking ME and My Son Yahushua, and Our Holy Spirit the Ruach Hakodesh, for ONLY our PERFECT WILL TO BE DONE IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW. Please, My Bride: ARISE, ARISE, ARISE! and become for Us your Triune Godhead—the End Time Army spoken of by the Prophets of Old—which is about to unfold! Pray, little ones, for the BILLIONS OF SOULS TO BE HARVESTED FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD—MY KINGDOM! For the Harvest is Great and the laborers are few. So please pray I send the laborers unto the Harvest: To the highways, the byways...to the countries that still need to hear about who their YHWH and Yahushua is.

Pray for those who have not even heard the Truth about Us or do not even know Us, or for those who are receptive to Our Spirit right now. Pray that they will come to know ME, My Son Yahushua, and Our precious Gift of the Ruach HaKodesh who will guide and teach them in all things—THE TRUTH! Little ones, as I peer down I see A LOT of diversions the enemy is doing to you, trying to distract you with. Many are NOT really seeking Us privately in the secret place; MANY are not being led by My Spirit. There are many who have “WORDS OF GOD”...But are they ALL of ME NO! Precious ones, please seek Me yourself. Hear from Me yourself.

Please pray for a greater discernment in these times. Please pray for the infilling of the Seven Spirits of ME spoken in Isaiah and Revelation. Especially, sweet ones—PRAY FOR WISDOM! Remember the Parable Yahushua spoke of concerning the 5 foolish and 5 wise Brides. Dearest ones, they were ALL READY AND PART OF THE BRIDE. But the difference in the Foolish from the Wise was that they lacked OIL (My Spirit), and they lacked WISDOM that enabled them to be fully filled, anointed, and ready for their Bridegroom! In Proverbs, My Word speaks of: “The Beginning of Wisdom is the fear of the LORD.” What does this mean? It means that My sons and daughters are expected and taught through My Word, as well as with My Spirit, that you need to Reverence, Respect, and have a Holy Awe about ME, My Son Yahushua, and Our Ruach Hakodesh that resides in you. READ PROVERBS—IT IS ALL IN THERE FOR YOU!

When you pray for the Seven Spirits of Mine to come upon you, you receive WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, REVELATION, SPIRIT OF COUNCEL & MIGHT, KNOWLEDGE and the FEAR OF THE LORD GOD—YHWH—ME. In these dark times right now, you need to have ALL of these gifts operating and fully working through My Ruach HaKodesh with your born-again spirit, as well as the Gifts and the Fruit of the Spirit I have blessed you with.

Little ones, Judgment is coming. But I tell you, this is My MERCY and LOVE upon this earth—for ALL MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS to REPENT and turn from their wickedness and come to know My Son Yahushua and ME, their Creator and Father, and to be filled with Our Spirit! I need your focus on ME. I need your eyes on ME. I need you ready to go when I say GO!...and reap for Me the BILLIONS of lost souls that I long for—My Creations, dearest ones.

Disasters are soon coming to the earth: many Tsunamis, Earthquakes, and other natural disasters...even an attack on the apple of My eye, ISREAL. But sweet ones, come to Me and My Son. Be with Us, and We will protect you as you obey and follow Our Ruach Hakodesh. Pray for repentance and My mercy for this earth, dear ones. Please pray for those who will face destruction, but that they will first come to know Me and My Son prior to these disasters. Please pray for all the lost ones, My Bride!

The Time is come to PUT ON YOUR ARMOR OF GOD and ARISE, ARISE, ARISE! and become what I have ordained and prepared you for, and am now anointing you for. BE MY SALT! BE MY LIGHT! TRULY SHOW MY GLORY AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON THIS EARTH! I bless you and thank you. I shall confirm these words to you.

Dearest ones: “This is my Last Call.”

Shalom—
Arise, My Loves!

Love,
Your Abba Father YHWH GOD

Be Instant
April 18, 2012

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:2)

Paul's "charge" to young Timothy, just before the great apostle's martyrdom, was urgently needed by Christians in those early days of persecution and incipient apostasy, and his words are even more appropriate today.

The admonition to "be instant" is worth special note. The Greek word ephistemi is translated in various ways ("be present," "be at hand," "come upon," etc.). The main idea is simply to be there, doing what needs to be done at the time it is needed. In this particular context it is stressing the Christian's responsibility to be there with the right words from the Word of God--words of exhortation, of doctrine, of reproof if needed, yet words given patiently, even when rebuffed by the hearer. "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man" (Colossians 4:6).

Furthermore, the charge applies not only to those times when we are officially on duty, so to speak. It applies to off-hours as well as work time. Be instant out-of-season, as well as inseason! The Christian must always be "on call" when God calls.

The apostle could rightly issue such a charge because he himself had set such an example. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: . . . thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience" (2 Timothy 4:7; 3:10). It is touching that Paul could then use the same word (ephistemi) concerning his own coming death, when he said, "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand" (2 Timothy 4:6). He was as ready to die as he had always been to speak, for the Lord! HMM

Right Thinking
April 19, 2012

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, . . . honest, . . . just, . . . pure, . . . lovely, . . . of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8.)

Our lives are surrounded with ungodliness and demands that often bleed away our thoughts until we are worn and weakened. Reflect for a few moments on this inventory of empowering thinking.

• Truth--Literally "that which is not hidden"; Jesus Himself (John 14:6); the Word of God (John 17:17; Psalm 119:11).

• Honesty--Not just accuracy, but "sober" and "venerable"; sometimes "magnificent" or "great"; used of church officers (1 Timothy 2:2; 3:8.)

• Justice--Righteous, just, right, suitable; "The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom. . . . The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable" (Proverbs 10:31-32).

• Purity--Morally and sexually chaste; closely connected with "holiness"; the emphasis is on physical and mental purity (1 John 3:2).

• Loveliness--Beauty, friendship, delight, and wonder are all suggested by the "good love" of this word (Luke 12:27).

• Good News--This takes discipline, because there is far more bad news than good in this world; we are admonished to take "inventory" (dwell on, recall) the "good reports" (Proverbs 25:25).

These excellent and praiseworthy matters should dominate our thinking in a conscious "inventory" of the attributes on this final list. If we do so, God promises His peace in our lives. HMM III

Pay Attention
April 20, 2012

"Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you" (Philippians 4:9).

From earliest childhood, we learn by watching the actions and lives of others. First, of course, our parents, then our peers and educators, politicians, business leaders, musicians, celebrities--the list is nearly endless. We learn by what we receive, hear, and see.

Jesus said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). The foundational learning process that enables the receiving and hearing of further truth must come first from God, through His Word and by the born-again believer. Paul's young protégé, Timothy, first learned from his mother and grandmother about God, and then under Paul's tutelage from the Scriptures (2 Timothy 1:5; 3:15).

But the key to learning is active attention! One must first receive, hear, and see. Paul commended the Thessalonians because they "received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:13). The Bereans were "more noble" because they "searched the scriptures daily" (Acts 17:11). The wise preacher "gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs" (Ecclesiastes 12:9).

Information, however well absorbed, is worthless without applying that which is learned. The philosophers of Athens were scorned because they "spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing" (Acts 17:21).

All of us must first be learners. Soon, however, we must work out our "own salvation with fear and trembling," since God has chosen to work through us (Philippians 2:12-13). HMM III

Where Are the Nine?
April 21, 2012

"And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine" (Luke 17:17).

Ten lepers, hopeless and incurable, had come to Jesus, begging for His help, and He had miraculously healed them. All ten should have fallen down to worship and thank Him, but only one praised God and thanked Jesus for His marvelous deliverance, while the others rushed away.

We are at first amazed at such ingratitude, until we realize that not more than 10 percent of even those people who know about Christ ever stop to give Him thanks for His innumerable blessings--life, freedom, food, shelter, health, family, and especially easy access to the Bible and His gracious offer of salvation--far greater in value than the gift of special healing received by the ten lepers.

The thankful leper received a much greater gift than all the others. "Thy faith hath made thee whole" (Luke 17:19). They had received an outward cleansing of the body, he an inward cleansing of the soul! These words spoken by Christ are found four other times in the New Testament (Matthew 9:22; Mark 5:34; 10:52; Luke 8:48,) plus two other times where the word for "made whole" is translated "saved" (Luke 7:50; 18:42). This word (Greek sozo) occurs many other times. For example: "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him" (Hebrews 7:25).

Ten lepers were healed, but only one was saved, and the proof of his salvation, received through genuine faith in Christ, was his gratitude, giving glory to God. The primary evidence of being "filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18.) is that the one so controlled by God's regenerating Spirit will be "giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:20). Those who are not thankful to their saving Lord are the 90 percent who have not been made whole. HMM

Joy in the Christian Life
April 22, 2012

"These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full" (John 15:11)

The word "fun" is never mentioned in the Bible, and "entertain" is used only in reference to being hospitable. Such activities as "reveling" and "playing" receive nothing except condemnation in the Scriptures (with the exception of little children at play).

Yet there is growing emphasis today in many churches and parachurch organizations on providing "entertainment" and "fun times" for their members--especially for teenagers and young adults. This is the way to reach them and keep them for the Lord, so they say. Perhaps so, but one wonders why neither the Lord nor the apostles nor the prophets ever told us so. Is this a programme kept in reserve by the Lord just for the young people of this generation?

Actually, Christians can have something far better, more effective, and more lasting than fun and entertainment. In Christ, they can have heavenly joy! "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," the Bible says (Proverbs 17:22), where the word for "merry" is more commonly translated as "joyful" or "rejoicing."

While the Bible never mentions "fun," it has many references to "joy" and "rejoicing."

Here are just a few:

"Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts" (Jeremiah 15:16).

"Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8.)

"For the joy of the LORD is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10).

We must remind ourselves continually that the Lord Jesus daily, through His words, shares His joy with us, "that |our| joy might be full." HMM

The Godhead
April 23, 2012

"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9)

The term "Godhead" occurs three times in the King James translation. Each time it translates a slightly different Greek noun, all being slight modifications of the Greek word for "God" (theos, from which we derive such English words as "theology".) It essentially means the nature, or "structure," of God, as He has revealed Himself in His Word.

The first occurrence is in Acts 17:29: "We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device." Men have been guilty throughout the ages of trying to "model" the Godhead, but this leads quickly to idolatry, whether that model is a graven image of wood or stone or a philosophical construct of the human mind.

What man cannot do, however, God has done, in the very structure of His creation. "The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead" (Romans 1:20). His tri-universe (space, matter, and time, with each component unique in definition and function, yet permeating and comprising the whole) perfectly "models" His triune nature (Father, Son, Holy Spirit--each distinct, yet each the whole).

This analogy can be carried much further, for this remarkable triunity pervades all reality. The tri-universe is not God (that would be pantheism), but it does clearly reflect and reveal the triune nature of His Godhead.

The last occurrence of the word is in our text. Although we cannot see the Godhead in its fullness, that fullness does dwell eternally in the Lord Jesus Christ. All that God is, is manifest in Him. "And ye are complete in him" (Colossians 2:10). HMM

Be Content
April 24, 2012

"I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Philippians 4:11)

The English word "content" can bring up thoughts of indifference and mild temperament. Modern usage tends to give "content" a negative connotation, as though such an attitude has little ambition or drive.

Not so of the Greek term that the Holy Spirit chose for this passage. It is composed of the pronoun for "self" and the noun for "sufficiency." Both in Scripture and in secular Greek literature, the word demands an ability to conquer whatever circumstances that may oppose one's purpose or goal and to continue through in spite of difficulties.

The context of our text is a prime example. Paul had experienced hunger and satisfaction. He knew what it meant to be obscure and to be a celebrity. There were times when he had more than enough resources to accomplish what he understood God had called him to do, and other times when resources were very scarce. In whatever state he found himself, Paul had learned to be self-sufficient.

Our problem is that we often are looking only at the physical and circumstantial issues and have not learned that our Lord Jesus provides grace that "is sufficient for thee: for |His| strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). The resources of the omnipotent Godhead are enough for us to "be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).

The self-sufficiency of the twice-born rests on the eternal fact that God "worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). HMM III
