Heaven’s Cup Versus World Cup? Which One Do You Chose?

The World Cup …….

Littlestone was hearing of the World Cup so much, he finally asked someone- What is the world cup?

They told him.

Hmmm.  So many are swept away with a decoy as the reality of the times are going by them in a flash…. Soon they who turn a deaf ear to the cry of His heart, will be faced with the consequences.

Repent, turn from your wicked ways and return to Me……..Littlestone prayed they would turn and quit being distracted by Satan’s ploy…….Keep them busy….. Killing the allotted time God has given them by frivolous things.  Instead of using their time to know and draw close to the One who holds their breath in the palm of His hands. The One who can help and fix things if they prayed and spent their time with Him…..

Soon there will be a cup the world will drink, if folks never turn to Jesus Christ and repent. When they refuse take the cup of salvation from His hand which is graciously been bestowed on us…..Do we really think we can stand before the….God Almighty’s cup of wrath?

Littlestone quickly thought of a writing a dear friend wrote…..The amazing thing is how blind and unbelieving Christian people are, and therefore how unwilling to seek to know the way of the ‘unshakable’.

He was driving to the stable again, early in the morning to ride Aaliyah.

He thought, thank You Father. You are a great God…..You have given me the grace to really desire You and to have to hear Your voice and receive Your leadings more than anything on this earth.   How I appreciate and respect You Almightiness.  I pray that all have the desire to know You and value You by the saving knowledge of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Sorry, Father, if that is not a real word, but…..Your Sovereignty is beyond what we can even imagine or think, yet, You ask us to partake in Your affairs by prayer. Your Almightiness is awesome to me.

I praise You and will gladly daily drink the cup of Your Salvation and the Bread of Life than to partake of any world cup that is forgotten by football season which then is forgotten by the next world cup…. And the beat of vanity goes on…..

Your Salvation that is offered today will not be forever…..You, Father, are giving us Your Son for this time before us….If anyone has a clue, time is soon coming to an end……The world today is receiving a shaking to show all who have eyes to see and ears to hear……Grab unto the One wo is eternal and His kingdom…..All other will pass away.

There is a time for relaxing…..But not when the fire is looming near your own home, your own soul……Wouldn’t the one be called a fool who did not go and get the needed water to soak his property, his home, his soul in?

God, You, will not be mocked- whatever a man sows, he will reap.

Eternal life is to know God, the Father, and His Son by the presence of Your Spirit.

He turned into the drive of the barn, and the horses welcome committee were nickering away…..They sounded like the horses were turning on their engines……Happily anticipating their hay and steamed crimped oats.

He fed Aaliyah some hay and dropped feed and hay for the other horses. He wanted to feed her after their run to hear Him at His Meeting Hill. He was tacking her up as he heard the occasional sneeze and munching a bunch on their grains.  Never an animal will refuse their food and water- unless they are sick….But people are a different matter.  Pride kills.

He was reminded of the scriptures on the ride up……Why?  He knew he would be filled in as the days were approaching…..

First Scripture was when Abram had helped defeat some kings from taking over. He couldn’t remember the names of the kings. After the battle was won, He was met with Melchizedek, who had no beginning, no origin…..Abram was blessed by him( Him ) and had wine and broke bread…..with this awesome High Priest.

What was highlighted before Littlestone was…. After he met with Melchizedek,  Abram  then spoke to a king who offered him booty from the battle of the opponents.  Abram’s answer was:  I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth and will not take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich,……Genesis 14:22-23.

All things come from Him and through Him and for Him and He gets ALL the glory and praise.

Littlestone thought of all in his life that God Himself had brought him through……..He, His God, alone gets the glory and praise……If He who holds our breath, does He not hold all blessings that He sends our way?  We work, we believe and He blesses……

Then Littlestone thought of the Laodician church as written in Revelation 2:14-19: To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.

 I wish you were either one or the other!  

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ 

But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 

 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. 

So be earnest and repent.  

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Littlestone knew better than to ask: why are You showing me these things now?

Littlestone knew all would be revealed.

Then he saw Isaiah 35, which is one of his favorite chapters….

The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
the splendor of our God.

Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.”

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
 The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Littlestone eyes were misting from the reality he now lives is written in this chapter…..He was so grateful that His great God turned his soul from a parched land into a garden of His delight because His Spirit came to dwell and blossom as a rose within Littlestone. Just because Littlestone said yes to the cross and knew he needed a Savior…But one look into those beautiful eyes….He could never turn away…Littlestone still finds Him to gaze.

Only God could transform what was dead into a fruitful field within anyone.

Father, I pray and ask for Your mercy and grace to bestowed upon many this day. May their barren hearts  get to know the true Living God and receive Living Water residing within them….Please allow the veil of unbelief be removed so they may see and shake their head in awe to Yes, Sir, come and I too come and bow before You this day because of Your great love that You have revealed unto me that You have for me.  This I ask and thank You in Jesus Christ’s name.

Then he was shown the other favorite Scripture in John 7:37-39: On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Then Littlestone heard as he was hopping off Aalyiah, people will not fair well when they are  following people instead of I AM.  John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Okay, thought Littlestone…..World Cup versus Your Cups….There are two of Yours…..May, I pray Lord, that many turn and drink Your cup of Salvation….TODAY.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works for forty years.

Therefore  I was angry with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.

So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest, ( Hebrews3: 7-11).

There are three cups out there for us to choose?

Which one will we drink from today?…..Today is the day of salvation as His arm being shown……revealing Jesus Christ hung on a cross for all of our sins and inquities……Then rose from the dead, if we believe, we have spiritually rose and will rise again……Do we believe Him?

When we choose His Salvation and drink His cup of Life and forgiveness, we avoid the other two cups. The world cup and the lies it offers…A big time waster and the cup of the Almighty’s wrath.

Littlestone sat down to write all that was given to him….

Then he heard:

Beware of the Pharisees, who go around in their best of robes and sit and consume the best places at their feasts from the offerings of the people…….Those who come against them, they will try to dismantle what I AM has mantled.  Though they wear the rich cloak of deception, their deceptions will be openly revealed to those who see and are told to speak. Nothing will be hidden that has been done against My called and chosen and called faithful to I AM…..

My cup comes to all.   I have chosen you…..Will you chose I AM  today?

SELAH!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Lord, To Whom Shall We Go? You Have The Words Of Eternal Life……..

The fourth day is our walk, like the guys walking to Emmaus, they were questioning everything because they did not understand. Why? We need our King to have our eyes opened to understand the Scriptures.   Littlestone thought undrstanding is needed for our times in which we now live.

He thought does his own generation know that those nations who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed as written in Genesis 12:3……This word is from the Beginning. Does this generation know who Israel is and Whom she brought forth?

He though how important it is to know the Scriptures but, …..we also need……..Holy Spirit.

Luke 24:13-16:  

Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 

They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 

As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.

 

So Holy Spirit can reveal our King to us or withhold our sight from seeing…..

However,  if we have called Him our Lord and King, we have in our spirit within us. Then His Spirit will confirm His Words and His presence…..as written in Luke 24:32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

The question is, if we do not study and know His Word, how will we know He is confirming His Word to us….How will know when and what to do or expect?

Study His Word and know our King, the Word of God…

Our King revealed Himself to them by opening their eyes as written in verse 31 of the same chapter: When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 

Then our King appeared to His frightened crew and showed them that He ate just as they did….He is the Resurrected King….He revealed Himself as their Messiah and their King…..because….verses 44-49 speak:

He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,  and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  You are witnesses of these things. 

I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Holy Spirit is the Revelator of His Word…..He is the greatest Promise next to the Messiah coming to deliver and redeem us from death and hell…..Holy Spirit brings us out of the mind of the death realm into our God, the Father’s realm……We learn to have the mind of Christ which is written in Corinthians book.

If we do not have our mind illuminated by God Himself, by His Spirit, the scriptures are not going to make any sense to us.

Holy Spirit gave us these scriptured to know how to pray by Ephesians 1:17-23:

 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[ of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 

 and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 

 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 

which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

We will get what we seek after…..whether our desire is for Him or for the world….

Our vision will be filled…..

Our responsibility now that we call our King – Lord….is to put all our purpose as His.

The plots of the enemies of God will fall into the pit that they have planned for those who follow our God and Lord.

The way to know this is by having the Word of God opened up to us to understand and wait.

Prayer is the way of communing with our God…..He keeps us informed on the goings on in His Kingdom and the ones who are His enemy.

Littlestone was writing all his thoughts down to help explain the importance to put God first. This is loving Him….Loving Him. He gave us His mind. The cross of Jesus Christ hits our hearts. We cannot but love Him….This love results in us opening His Word as a meal and allowing Him to speak to us all He desires.   How often do you eat a meal?  How often do you spend time with Him in Word and prayer?

Prayer is supplication but it also fellowship……No wife or husband will get far with only supplications and not enjoying each other’s company….. God knows our hearts, and understands…….But He also knows our desire is for Him or not.

As the world continues to shake and bake, we know why and share the thoughts of God to all.

Preparation for His arrival and judgments are essential for a steady diligent walk in and from His grace. We who call on His name will be refined by the adversity and fire…..but He is with us…..He always says thank you. We then will be trained to lead others through His ways.

Littlestone was sitting on the large rock looking over the flowing river…..It was smaller than when the spring arrived, but it was still flowing.  He heard the praise of her waters singing up to her God, the Creator.

The sky was blue and the sun was rising and the heat increasing.  The rain would fall it seemed when the one who could help – did.  The oppressor seemed to halt his works….

Then when the one who could help stopped, so did the rain.

As written in Proverbs 3:22-35:

My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion;
 they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
 Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
 for the Lord will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.
Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.

Do noot accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no
 harm.

Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways

For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.

The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.

 

Littlestone was noting it is sin for a person, or nation not to step in to do good when oppression is running rapid through the world.

One day the sound will echo out:….Babylon has fallen….Babylon has fallen….

God’s enemy found in Babylon, spiritual land and found also in the natural, has fallen.…..

Meanwhile, He also alerts His children to leave the corruption now…..Keep the doors closed until the destruction is over….

Littlestone noted it is written in Isaiah and Revelation……. HMMMMM………What was, will be again and now is.

It is also written n Revelation 13: 1-9

The dragon[ stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 

The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.  

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 

 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.  It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.  

It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.  All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Littlestone smiled because this is not the end of the story. Our God allows the proud to rise their head boldly before He brings down the proud and exalts the humble.

Littlestone made notes on Revelation chapter 15:1-4:

 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 

And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 

 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.[a]
 Who will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory to your name
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

 The time now more than ever is the need to draw close to God and allow His mouth to draw close to your ears.

The purpose of His calling each and everyone one of us has been in His plan before the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 3:14-21:

 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 

and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

 him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

If men are questioning who is like the beast and who is able to make war with him? We who call on His name now the ANSWER—- God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ…. and all His saints that follow Him on white horses….. Ready to ride?  Let’s fly with our King!  Now and when His Day approaches….We fly everytime we come before Him. We arrive up there…..We are seated in heavenly places with Him, right?  So let’s ride to the heights of His love and soar below and find He is there protecting us by His love…..We can circle our flight east to the west and will never end flying on His love….Let’s ride to fly….We are found then beyond the fence of tradition and religion…We fly on Him and Him alone. The power that works exceedlingly abunbdantly beyond our thoughts or imaginations is ours, if you dare to choose to take this adventure out of the pew and into His image.

Stay tuned, all will see and get their questiones answered. However, God has used men to be His hammer and ruler of judgment throughout all of HIS story.  Those who can should ……and listen. He will back any nation that He has called….Read His Story and see! Just believe and all will see His glory.

Pray that all would come to the saving knowledge of the One was wrote the Scriptures. The One who was before time and wrote them according to His purpose and His glory…..Who can stop the Lord God Almighty?

 Littlestone was use to everyone correcting this on him or saying this against him or saying things of greater matter regarding him…..They fell to the floor of His feet. His call was to sit at His feet because He had chosen the needful thing….This in itself was upsetting to a lot of folk but the friends at His Diner loved when he came in with his ears red…..They knew he was getting food for them from on high….. They grabbed their coffee and their place in their booth  and waited….Come winter, spring, summer or fall,…God was faithful to this little group of people who had ears to hear and heard to believe all that He has planned for them to be…..They praised Him and lived in preparedness for His coming arrival…..They wanted to be found with His garments on them and faces glowing from His presence in and with them…..They wanted and desperately sought His face in all matters so when He approached they knew it was Him,…. Him alone. More important than that, they wanted Him to know them…..

His fragrance of myrrh and cassia was flying as heavy air from above joined the aroma of the never ending cup of joe that permiated the little diner filled with hearts anticipating their King and what He had to say……

Many would cheer and say….Yes, yes, I got that too last night studying or praying…..Everyone rest assured that out the mouth of two or more witnesses that the word is established at written.

Do not fear.

Come to Him now!

Come see His smile and know His warm embrace.

He is waiting for you.

His love never fails…..

The only One who knows the End from the Beginning because He is…..Alpha and Omega.  He is the Word of God….. Our King of all kings and Lord of all lords reigns and rules the nations…..He asks us to join Him in prayer and  fellowship……This is our class of learning to rule and reign in His righteousness now. He has always ruled in the affairs of men.

You coming up?  There is room at the table for you……Caution, you may be excluded from other tables now because you sit with the King, for His name’s sake…..Who cares, right?  Let’s fly!!!

Amen!!!!

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who Do You Say That I AM?

How then do we show Him?

Littlestone had so many scriptures going through his mind from the recent events from the days in which he lived.

It was hard to be still and listen when here was a sign and there is another sign.   The signs of the times of which he breathed and walked were as if he jumped into the Word of God.  The Word of God is truly a living book due to we worship a living God.

He hopped on Aalyiah  quickly and rode.  It was before the dawn. He had to ride early for the heat would be too high for her by noon.

The heat in his country and in many others is a great sign.  The lack of rain is another sign……

Signs of our great God withholding the blessings.  These signs all equal judgment or simply a huge wake up call if any one will have ears to hear of the sounding alarm.  Turn to Him now.  We need a Savior, we all have broken His commandments…..Eternal damnation is our due….If we think we can lightly take Him, Jesus Christ, as our Savior and live like we have not taken Him…..Do not be fooled or deceived.

Our God is a consuming fire and He will not be mocked.  What a man sows either to flesh which is death or to life in His Spirit. Each living breathing person will have his reward….Death and life are the results and the proof is in our tongue.

He had turned off the radio in aggravation as within five minutes he had heard the request for money from  4 radio stations and ministries.

He thought if money was the answer then all these ministries should be ushering in repentance and revival and the there would be very many filled with Holy Spirit. Are they, Father God?

Am I wrong, Holy Spirit?

No, He answered.

If two are gathered in the name of the Lord, I AM is there……but, is the faith in the mammon or in I AM?, He continued.

Prayer and communion in I AM is the only answer.  Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess I AM the Lord. Where I AM, there is freedom and liberty.

Then the scripture of Luke 19 came flooding into his head: verse 45-46 as stated :  When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling.

 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.”

In the dream he had been given, he ushered out a foreign woman with a painted face and very elegant clothes to the door of His Father’s house.  He was very polite and complimented her on her accent as Littlestone escorted her out….

He wrote the dream as instructed and wondered what it all meant as he was driving…..

As Holy Spirit revealed he was beginning to understand….You cannot serve God and mammon. People will serve the mammon first in priority or the God of the universe first in priority.

If mammon becomes the god of the purpose of a nation, then I AM says go to that god for rain and relief.  Where will you go if the rain for the crops are held back.

Does mammon answer? Elijah proved that one with the prophets of Baal.  Baal never answered. Elijah guessed in mockery, he had gone on vacation. Maybe  he was watching the World Cup and could not be bothered.

I AM answers. He thunders through His prophets.  Take heed to what is written in the books of the prophets….Our God does not change…What He said many years ago rings through the ages. He is an everlasting God and has everlasting love for all. But He also loves so deep, He will bare His arm of His Son so all will come to Him……Prayer is the answer….. Not mammon.

Prayer and faith in the One who we are praying or communing with….Faith will or will not be found by our King this day?  When He measures us…..Will He find faith?

 

If mammon is the answer to turn away from an ally nation who serves the same God, will our God continue be our ally?, thought Littlestone….. If God has a people who are the apple of His eye,…. if we turn our back on them, will He not turn His back on us as a nation?  Read the word of God and I know the answers thought Littlestone.

He remembers the book of Zechariah and the warnings from our Holy God.

Our God is a holy God and He means what He says and says what He means.

The arm of the flesh of man is in no comparison to the great arm of our God.

Study His plans which is the word of God….. Those who call on His name, do we know the word better than the World Cup? Or our favorite movie, team, sports?

The Word of God should be known like the back of our hand……

If His word has not been taken in as the best and needful food of our daily diet, do not be surprised when He says get away from Me, I AM does not know you and whose house you belong.

Littlestone was riding and praying that people would not be like the ostrich who hides her head in the earth, which is the distractions of this world to miss the great knowledge of our God written in His Word. How many people have missed the experience of fellowship with the mighty King and His Spirit?  Lazarus, the rich man, is the only one who we know that wished he had listened and asked for warnings to be given to his brothers…..The answer was if they do not listen to Moses and then they will never listen to one who rose from the dead.

Earth and all that is in it will pass away….It will be NADA….But His Word will stand forever.

Beware!!!!    The temple courts is where they were selling and making profits….Littlestone thought……The court is outside the Holy of Holies…..

Entering into fellowship in the Holy of Holies today….is by the blood of the Lamb…..We leave the courts for His presence…Those still making mammon about God in the courts are not in fellowship in Him….Can not be…..

It is written by the Word of God Himself, our King, -You cannot serve I AM and mammon…

Chose this day- who you will serve- America? The ones who call on My name, choose…..

Stay in the courts of God or enter in to the Fellowship of the Ancient of Days through the King of kings and the Lord of Lords…..

His Word will not pass away. Every word of God has her fulfillment.

Littlestone prayed again for the people who call on His name to read the Book of Revelation but if not all, but make it a point to read and reread the first three chapters…

Ask Holy Spirit to reveal what church- you belong ……Ask for courage and grace to then become the overcomer He has called us all to become…..in His image.  Ask for Him to reveal to you how He weighs you today…..

Take the heat now and He is with and in us to get through and be forever in His presence…. Or take the heat now and remain in the everlasting lake of fire for eternity……If you do not ask Him, then do not complain of the heat, better get use to it for it will  be alot hotter in the lake that forever burns in fire.  Your soul will not be consumed but experience it forever.

If you have lied, you broke the ten commandments….You need to repent and turn your heart to Jesus Christ and allow His Spirit to come into your heart…..You then allow Him to be King over you and lead you everyday of your life…..Obtain a bible..  You will find your self in His Word and find Him…. Know Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven for this is eternal life.

How Are We In His Measure ? Obedience Or Sacrifice Or Worship?

As written regarding the tearing of the kingdom from Saul to give it to David, who was anointed King and going through the testing of the Word becoming live in David.

Why was the kingdom torn from Saul and given to David?

Littlestone was reading also what was given to Jehu for following the Lord in all that he was told to do in 2 Kings 9 and 10……God is more interested in obedience than sacrifice for rebellion is as witchcraft.   Obedience to Him is worshipping Him and honoring Him.

1 Samuel chapter 15 states:

Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 

 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 

 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

So Saul summoned the men and mustered them at Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand from Judah. 

Saul went to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the ravine. Then he said to the Kenites, “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.

Then Saul attacked the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt. 

He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. 

 But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[b] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.

 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: 

“I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the Lord all that night.

Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, Saul has gone to Carmel. 

There he has set up a monument in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.”

 When Samuel reached him, Saul said, “The Lord bless you! I have carried out the Lord’s instructions.”

 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?”

Saul answered, “The soldiers brought them from the Amalekites; they spared the best of the sheep and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord your God, but we totally destroyed the rest.”

“Enough!” Samuel said to Saul. “Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night.”

“Tell me,” Saul replied.

 Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The Lord anointed you king over Israel. 

And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’ 

Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”

“But I did obey the Lord,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the Lord assigned me.

 I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. 

The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the Lord your God at Gilgal.”

But Samuel replied:

“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice,
and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,
and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
he has rejected you as king.”

 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned. I violated the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them. 

 Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord.”

 But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you as king over Israel!”

 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore. 

Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you. 

 He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

Saul replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the Lord your God.

 So Samuel went back with Saul, and Saul worshiped the Lord.

Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.”

Agag came to him in chains. And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is

past.”

But Samuel said,

“As your sword has made women childless,
so will your mother be childless among women.”

And Samuel put Agag to death before the Lord at Gilgal.

Then Samuel left for Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul. 

 Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Now as Littlestone flipped over 2 Kings 9 and 10 to read how His prophet anointed Jehu to be king over Israel and to abolish all of King Ahab legacy as well as his wife Jezebel and all the Baal prophets because of the wickedness they invoked the Lord’s anger.

As Jehu was like a crazy man going through Israel to destroy all of the fingerprints of Ahab which was instructed by the Lord….. written 2 Kings 10:28-33:

 So Jehu destroyed Baal worship in Israel. 

 However, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.

The Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in accomplishing what is right in my eyes and have done to the house of Ahab all I had in mind to do, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

Yet Jehu was not careful to keep the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit.

In those days the Lord began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael overpowered the Israelites throughout their territory  east of the Jordan in all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben and Manasseh), from Aroer by the Arnon Gorge through Gilead to Bashan.

The Lord has given us a heart of flesh by His Spirit to follow His statutes and commands.  The true riches of our God is His Spirit that He has given us to dwell within us……True wisdom, true understanding, true guidance, true eyesight and hearing ears.  These are the ingredients that make a heart that follows after Him through all water and fire…..and have feet of burnished bronze as He does….After all, we shall see Him as He is because we will be like Him…….Selah!

Littlestone was learning how obedience is a 100% worship in the eyes of His King.

He gives us the commands and also the power and strength by His Spirit for it to be accomplished.

Littlestone was always asking His King if there was anything out of His eye in him…..

Sometimes yes and sometimes no, but the communication was imperative to have.

Prayer in His Spirit brings out to us what is lacking in His measure in us and what is growing of His measure in us.  Christ will be all and in all…….Where are we now? How are we standing in His presence today?

After all, the End, which He is, will be as the Beginning for He does not change, but we are being changed from glory to glory and in faith so when we see Him we shall be like Him as written 1 John.

There were a day when Paul spoke the same words as Isaiah wrote in his day. And so did our King in Matthew 13:

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 

 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 

Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 

But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 

Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 

Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 

Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 

 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.

Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]

 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 

 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 

When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 

 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 

 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 

The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 

But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

 

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 

 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared

 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them

 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

 

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 

Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”

 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[b] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[c

Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 

The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom.

The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 

They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

 

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.

When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

 

 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 

 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore.

Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.

“Yes,” they replied.

 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”

When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 

Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked.  “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 

Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 

And they took offense at him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.”

58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

 

Our King, thought Littlestone, says to us the principle thing is wisdom and in all your getting get wisdom………Jesus Christ has been made to us wisdom, redemption and sanctification.

So in all our days on this earth we are receiving and apprehending all He has for us in Him….. His riches are not of this world. But they are the true riches to obtain so on His Day…..

He is coming soon,  On His day, He will say I know you!  And we shall see Him as He is for we shall be like Him….

Obedience is the principle thing…..The measure of Christ in us is being measured. How are we doing….?

Will He see Himself in us glorifying Him?  Will He know we have ears to hear and eyes to see what is not seen but is the reality we live in His Kingdom?

Unity is adoring the One who is written in Colossians 1 for is the Beginning and the End……What was in the Beginning will be also in the End for He was and is and will forever be. We are to be found in Him, where are we today?

Colossians 1:15-29:

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 

And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 

 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[ your evil behavior. 

But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 

if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.

This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

 

 Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 

 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 

the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 

 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 

 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

 

Holy Spirit has been given to us to prepare us for His Day…… Working us into into His image….Christ in us is the only hope of our glory…..Now what do you think is the glorious riches of His mystery?

He is worthy and He is holy.

He is measuring, how are we doing?

Amen.

SELAH! SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, This Is A Test!

Checking to see if the glitch is gone!

But since I got your attention….. If you got a new car……Great!

But you are the same driver driving it…….

In our spiritual life, we need a New Driver, Holy Spirit…. He is the One to lead and guide us into all Truth.

He should be the Leader in our new creation….This is how we keep our car clean outside and running in the heavenlies abiding in Christ Jesus…..Our engine will be strong and go the distance…..

Prepare our hearts for Pentecost….But, you can ask our Father to allow Holy Spirit of grace to come in and dwell with you now.

As John 14:20-24:

20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Just saying why wait until the end of May…..You got a new car…..Now get the right Driver to lead you through the highways of God.

Selah!

We Cannot Change A Corpse…..We Are NOW A New Creation…..How?

What happens when we say Yes to God’s Salvation?

Okay, Resurrection Sunday came and went. Many people accepted our King’s sacrifice of His death to save us from our sins…….

He rose so now we have hope, we will rise from the dead.

Do we know when we said “ yes to Him”, we also confirmed we died with Him?

The Word of God, the One who made salvation available to mankind, has something more planned than a free get out of hell card…..…..

You are now a new creation……

He died for us.

Our spirit is  already dead within us because of sin…..Now, we are alive because He lives….Our spirits within us are alive in Him……

This is big deal…..We believe this by faith in His living word  because it says so.

God said it and we believe it…… Then we live it.

Now we are to have His Spirit living within our spirit…..

We are not alone now trying to be better people……

But we are being changed into the image of our King…… as beholding an image in a mirror.

By faith to faith and glory to glory…….

These are His rules and His plan which will be complete into His purpose.

Will you join Him in allowing His will to be completed through you?

Let’s check out Romans 6…..This is the first book after the book of Holy Spirit actions in Acts….

His Word is always progressive for this is God’s nature- always increasing Himself throughout the universe…..

Will you join Him in His progression?

What shall we say, then? 

Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 

By no means!

We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 

Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 

For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 

 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 

 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 

The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life;

 and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 

For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

 What then?

Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? 

By no means! 

Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves,

you are slaves of the one you obey—

whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, 

you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. 

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations.

Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness,

 so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. 

 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.

What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of?

Those things result in death! 

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, 

the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 

 For the wages of sin is death,

 but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.( Romans 6).

Now we can rest assured of our place in His salvation, right?

But maybe you do not feel a newness of life…….by faith, my friend, by faith…

What did Jesus Christ, our King, on His last night with His crew spent the whole time speaking of Whom?

The Promise from the Father who was coming once His blood was shed and He was ushered up into the heavenlies…

He was speaking of a Helper coming to dwell with us and in us……

He is here now.

He is here with you now…..

Please read John  chapters 12-17……..

Prepare your heart for what Holy Spirit coming in you and dwell with you.  Learn what this means for you….

Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus.

God is awesome…..

Can His Spirit be within you if you have not asked?

Ask and seek and knock for our King to bestow on you His Spirit and within you.

There is a lot more to His salvation then saying yes on Resurrection Day…….

It is saying yes to Him over and over and over. He is a Gentleman and will only continue if you say yes…..

What He is doing and will continue to do in you is beyond what you can imagine or think…….

Come on and let’s check out some more on His Promise to us……..in Romans 8:

 

 

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 

because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 

For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,

 God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

 And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 

in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us,

who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; 

but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 

The mind governed by the flesh is death, 

but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; 

it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 

Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit,

if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. 

And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,

 they do not belong to Christ. 

But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin,

the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you,

he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—

but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; 

but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves,

so that you live in fear again; 

rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

 And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,

if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 

 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,

but by the will of the one who subjected it,

 in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay

 and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 

 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship,

the redemption of our bodies. 

For in this hope we were saved. 

But hope that is seen is no hope at all. 

Who hopes for what they already have? 

 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for,

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,

because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

And we know that in all things

God works for the good of those who love him,

 who  have been called according to his purpose. 

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,

 that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 

And those he predestined, he also called; 

those he called,

he also justified; 

those he justified,

he also glorified.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? 

If God is for us, who can be against us? 

 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—

how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 

Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?

It is God who justifies. 

Who then is the one who condemns? 

No one.

Christ Jesus who died—

more than that, who was raised to life—

is at the right hand of God 

and is also interceding for us. 

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or

 famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 

As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors 

through him who loved us. 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons, 

neither the present nor the future, 

nor any powers, 

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God 

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I know, wrote Littlestone, this is a lot to take in…..But this is what you said yes to on Resurrection Sunday…….

Littlestone was preparing the Words of His Savior and the plans He has for each of His children.

These Words are the foundation of all who say YES!

They said yes to the One they turned and saw because they heard….His whisper.

God’s Whisperer, to each of us is Holy Spirit.

Littlestone prayed that many would hear.

Then absorb this Truth by reading over and over these blessed words regardingthe greatness of what God has planned for us.

Praise to God , Father, the Son and Spirit, Three in One……

Thank You, Abba Father, for Your abundant strength shown in Your mercy and grace.

Thank You for the shed blood of our King Christ Jesus…..

Thank You Abba for Your Promise of Holy Spirit.

 

He ended his writing with a plea for all those to spend a couple of days reading these chapters in the morning and evening so they may know the love of God that we all have found in Christ Jesus.

 

There is so much more……There is so much more……Let’s progress into His progression of His purpose.

SELAH!!

 

 

 

Don’t Drive A Car, You Might Get In An Accident…..What? Huh?

I will take my chance and drive……….. I will trust My King and learn of His voice…….

An age old question, do the shepherds want to let the sheep out of their pen?

So should we not drive a car because we might get in an accident?

Littlestone thought he never heard a parent say, I do not want you to learn to drive because you might get in an accident. Even though, the parent may be anxious, in America, when you become sixteen, you may learn to drive a car and obtain a driver’s license.

The kid will find a way to learn to drive and get a license, if a parent says no.

Drivers of cars do get into accidents. So does that mean we do not learn to drive a car or do not drive because there may be an accident? Not in America. We learn to drive and obtain a license.

My sheep hear My voice, as written in John 10:1-6:

 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 

The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. 

He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 

Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.…..

How many people who go to church on Sunday hear from You, Lord, all the time as their daily Food?

How many are taught to learn to hear Your voice?  Discerning Your voice from their own is easy once they know Your Word. Littlestone thought, I have no wisdom but from the wisdom You have been made to me and I thank and count on Your Word for direction and Your inner peace within me to Guide me in all things.

How often is Holy Spirit directed as their Guide from the pulpit?  The Word of God written and the Word of God spoken by His Spirit to each of His kids is imperative for a godly, fruitful walk.

There can be learning accidents in any adventure we try to learn other than sitting in a chair and doing nothing.

Father God, I thank You for bringing me into the knowledge of Your grace and love in and from Your Son by Your Spirit.

Littlestone was upset from hearing fear come from the pulpit regarding hearing God’s voice. Hearing, well, it could be yourself, and that can get you in trouble.  So……we do not learn to discern?

So, a child of God, has a roadblock now from trying to discern God’s guidance in their life because it may cause them trouble? Much better to listen to their peers than His voice and learn the difference while they are young.  The best way for a younger person to learn Your Voice, Lord, is put Your Voice in practice…..Then when the peers want the opposite, they know to go Your way.  We pray.

Again, Littlestone never heard that you cannot drive a car because you may get in accident or play football or volleyball or swim in the ocean….. Or fly a plane…….But to stop a child from hearing the voice of their Loving Savior and Director of their Soul because they might do it  wrong?   Foolishness?  Do not go out and hit a ball, because you might do it wrong….

Well, of course, we all will miss it but that is how we learn and discern…..Which brings peace…..Which brings righteousness and closer to Him?  Which is honoring Him above all? These are the questions we should ask…….How did I miss the ball?  My eye was on something else…..

The way we grow is a lot by failures…. Or mistakes…..Littlestone remembered a spelling test on the word judgment…..He spelled it judgement…. His choice made him get it wrong…..He never forgot since then how to spell judgment correctly. We learn by correction on our path. This is the way of God.  To deny our flesh and allow the spirit man in us to arise and be dominant is a lifelong adventure but very needful in our King’s eyes.

He wants to know us and whose house we are from when we meet Him on His Day.

The way of God is so different from ours.  He knows we will screw up….But He is always there to teach and correct and lead us into every right way laid before us as written in Proverbs.

He was galloping up the to His Hill of Meeting.  He was so upset to hear people of authority shutting the Door on the greatest purpose of a child of God to  do is to hear from their Heavenly Father through His Spirit on a daily and even minute by minute basis…..In Littlestone’s mind this was a criminal act against the greatest love relationship open for all who believe.

He was use to people making fun of him because Littlestone was known as His and a follower of Jesus…… Ungodly saying, he thinks he hears from God.     Well, he could handle that but to hear from the pulpit……The Door that His Savior bled to open for all that believe to be closed by unbelief was trampling on Jesus’ blood in Littlestone’s mind.

The treasure of having our King so close to hear from and learn is outstanding and a complete adventure for all our lives.  To miss out on the intimacy of His hand in our lives is like missing out on growing from a child to an adult…..We miss our purpose, we will lose sight of His and think to follow the world’s and be totally unfulfilled.

Child, I AM could hear the cadence of your mare climbing heavily up here.  Thank you for rising up to hear Me.

Faith opens up your inner eyes to believe and see.  Just as heaven is in you but where do you see this?  I AM sees within your heart My place of where I AM is wanted and desired.

I AM says, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, hear…..

Who gives the ears to hear and eyes to believe?

You do, Sir.

Faith brings I AM and all that I AM to those who call on My name.  I AM does not give a measure of I AM to you….I AM brings all I AM and awakens the spirit inner man to build an appetite for more of heaven….

Those who see and hear have called on Me to be their all for they cannot…..Grace is sufficient to give all you need to be with I AM in a new and special way.

What is not seen is greater than what is seen……..for I AM there.

Those who do not want to hear from Me, they will not. They have received their faith. Faith of others helps I AM break in their time.

Those who do want all of I AM surrounding their every step, will. They have and will receive the consummation of their faith.

Those that close the door on the impossible, will never see the possible either. For where is their limits drawn…. They have received their faith and are limited.

There is a barrel, a very large barrel.  There is a spoon, a ladle, and a large bucket and huge tractor with an arm of a large scooper.  Or will you just dive in to and get I AM all over you.

Which one will each of you take today of I AM?

This is exactly what you will receive.

No more and no less.  I AM will not go beyond your limits you have placed on I AM.

May those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying.

What will be the measure of allowing I AM into our heart, life and forever.

He died with His arms wide open.

His arms are still wide open.

Waiting to fill them around you.

You can hear His voice, if you turn and see where the Voice is……… run to Him.

The Door of heaven is opened by the King of All.

Now, the relationship between our Heavenly Father and us by His Spirit can be.

He did His part…..Now it is yours…….

Turn and see what all He has planned to be for you. Then you shall walk in who He has called you to be.

Are you diving in, or what?

SELAH!!!

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You! Do You Not Know?

Littlestone was so grateful there is His great God on His throne ruling over the affairs of men. He was  busy interceding His will be done over so many affairs that the winter flew by and he could not believe it was spring already.

His nose was letting him know the trees were awakening from their winter slumber as the pollen count was high as the winter winds blew the pollen it seemed right up his nose! Those springs winds were quite boisterous too.  A lot of winds were blowing off what was being covered into full sight.

All things that were hidden are blooming into full sight which made Littlestone very glad and grateful, even if he seemed to sneeze more than there are stars in the skies covering the universe.

The green sprouts of new growth popping up from the ground, allows all to realize God is the God of all things, all seasons and all changes…..Yet, the ONE thing Littlestone can rest his faith on is the God who changes rulers and nations, does not ever change. He is steady as the noon day sun……He is faithful and he can always lean on what He has said will be….then, and now and forever.

He was taking a gentle ride with Aaliyah again up to His Hill to meet with Him.  It had been a while because of the weather but he had to go.

The bluebirds were singing their song of praise to their Creator as they flew here and there getting the right twigs and building materials for their nest.

The bluebirds always lead Littlestone into new understanding of his King.  Whenever they fly before him, he knows to perk up and have ears to hear what He has to show him.

In God’s eyes, death always brings new life….In His hands, there is never the end but a new beginning, thought Littlestone.  As written in 1 Corinthians 2:1-13:_

You’ll remember, friends, that when I first came to you to let you in on God’s sheer genius, I

didn’t try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who he is; then Jesus and what he did—Jesus crucified.

 I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate—I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it—and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else.

But the Message came through anyway. God’s Spirit and God’s power did it, which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God’s power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else.

 We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it’s not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes.

You don’t find it lying around on the surface.

It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene.

 The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn’t have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross.

That’s why we have this Scripture text:

 No one’s ever seen or heard anything like this,

Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—

What God has arranged for those who love him. But you’ve seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.

The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along.

 Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself?

The same with God—except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us.

We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn’t learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us personto-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

Littlestone thought how God only keeps those who want to stay away from Him in the dark. However, those who call on His name and reach out to Him and will not let go as written will never leave empty….. So we, ask, and we shall receive. So we seek and we shall find. So we knock and it will be opened for us.

Well, these little ones, thought Littlestone, are in His light, and what is being done in the dark against Him and His children are always made manifest in the Light because darkness is as light to those who follow Him as written…..He is the Light on their path and in their hearts.

He is so close to us, even closer than our breath……

Then he heard, of course you are My Littlestone.

Littlestone said, Yes, Sir!

He hopped off the horse to get ready to write, but then he heard….

Ride on, We will ride or fly to our place together, Child.

Littlestone mounting back on to the mare, said, Yes, Sir…..

Thinking what is flying got to do with riding a horse?  What am I learning now?

Child, do you know when you sing your song to I AM, you are putting steps for others to follow I AM?

The marks in heavenlies are made manifest for them to step up and on to follow on the highway to holiness.

Yes, Sir, said Littlestone…. Asking that he would remember this because he was not writing. He was asking to himself, but it is never to himself alone anymore.

You will remember, Child, I will remind you in your sleep. Do not fret….Enjoy the ride with I AM.

The music you hear at night is the song you sing to me in your heart when your eyes are open and the sun is revolving around your day….

The music is cadence that you walk in I AM with your thoughts and concerns and incense to I AM.  Your conversations with I AM is set to My cadence…..

The music you awaken to is sound I AM sets you into. The colors of My sound surround you in the day and in the night.

The song of my bluebird is also set to heaven’s waves toward the earth.

The orchestra of heaven is deeply woven into the prayers of My children that are with Me in heaven as I AM abides in them on the earth.

Do you not see the Son of Man ascending and descending from heaven through His people by My Spirit? Are We not One as I AM prayed that one special night?

The closeness of heaven in My people on this earth is here and present…..If only My people would see their very being has I AM within them singing over them their own song….

Learn the song I AM is revealing in each heart……I AM that I AM…..Where you are children, I AM too…..

Believe and then all will see that the love of God is fulfilling this earth in His Son’s body as written…..

All scripture is and will be fulfilled.

More To Come……

Hear for your melody from your King…..

SELAH!

 

 

Hear The Voice Who Speaks From Heaven. He Is Closer Than Your Breath!

Littlestone was at a store. People were picking out tile for their house….. They came up to him and said excitedly,” we found our tile”.     He looked down in his hands what they had handed them.   The tile décor was of a sun with lines of sunburst shining out, but there was a big problem… It was made of cardboard.   It would last maybe a morning, at least in his house, with his cats and dogs.   It was not made to be a foundational floor to build your house on.

 

He looked up at them and said, “This is cardboard. This is not made for floor covering”. This is a decor for a wall or bathroom.

He woke up from his dream.

He questioned to Holy Spirit, what does this dream mean as he was rubbing his eyes and putting his hair somewhat in place for the day.

He was shown Acts 17:31: For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. 

He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

Matthew 7:24-29:  “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew

and beat against that house;

yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 

But everyone who hears these words of mine

 and does not put them into practice

 is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

 The rain came down, the streams rose,

and the winds blew and beat against that house,

and it fell with a great crash.”

 When Jesus had finished saying these things,

 the crowds were amazed at his teaching,  

because he taught as one who had authority,

and not as their teachers of the law.

Littlestone was meeting people all the time, who did not have His Spirit within them.  He knew without Holy Spirit, the scriptures were almost a different language to him.  When Littlestone met Holy Spirit and came into him, the scriptures came alive.

He was able to live by understanding and knowledge of the Holy One what He desired from Littlestone’s heart and then Littlestone grew more outward from His inward presence.

As written His Word worked mightily in him because His Word as written in Hebrews 4:12-14:

For the word of God is living and active.

Sharper than any double-edged sword,

it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit,

joints and marrow.

It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight;

everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him

 to whom we must give account.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens,

Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to what we profess. 

 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,

but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are,

yet was without sin. 

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,

so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Littlestone knew he was conformed to living before His gaze, that He knows nothing is hidden so why do anything that would displease Him.  He is the lover of his soul.  His eyes hold so much love that they have captured Littlestone’s heart forever.

He has learned to give only what He wants for others. He wants to be known and live within by His Spirit in the people who call on His name.   Salvation is the Door to His heavenly Father, but His Spirit is the communion He has desired before the foundation of time…..

This is the foundation that will last and because we live in Him and by Him and from Him.

His Word becomes active and works mightily within…… We hunger for His Word more than food or drink of this world. We thirst for His Voice that speaks softer but louder than the tension and chaos around.  He is the Answer. He is the Judge. He is the fulfillment of the ache of every heart.

We must be filled with His Spirit and hear His voice more than anyone or thing else in and of this world. He must have the preeminence here so it is as heaven here on this world.

We have been born from above and our Boss is there now and also in us.

We are heaven bound and from heaven at the same time.

His Word is active in us by the power of Holy Spirit.

As written Jesus Christ has been made Everything to us….

1 Corinthians 1:30:  It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

Romans 8 shows us, Littlestone thought, the ways of His Spirit within us and how we are to live by His Spirit……Not by power, not by might, but by Holy Spirit as written in Zechariah.

 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 

because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 

For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

 And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 

The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 

 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. 

And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 

But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of] his Spirit who lives in you.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 

 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

1For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; 

rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. \

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,

if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 

that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 

Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 

For in this hope we were saved. 

But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 

And those he predestined, he also called; 

those he called, he also justified; 

those he justified, he also glorified.

 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?

 If God is for us, who can be against us? 

 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 

 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?

It is God who justifies. 

Who then is the one who condemns? 

No one.

Christ Jesus who died—

more than that, who was raised to life—

is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

 Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 

As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 

 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons, 

neither the present nor the future, 

nor any powers, 

neither height nor depth,

 nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God 

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Amen, thought Littlestone as he read this chapter. One of his favorites showing the tremendous love of God for His kids….that are in His Firstborn Son…..For God so loved the world He gave His only Son…….

Keep to His Word and on the Foundation of His Rock…… No storm shall come and tear us from Him.

Do know the scriptures so we don’t follow man made talk versus the Voice who speaks to us from heaven……

Hebrews 12:25: Be careful and don’t refuse to listen when God speaks.

Those people refused to listen to him when he warned them on earth.

And they did not escape.

 Now God is speaking from heaven.

 So now it will be worse for those who refuse to listen to him.

 

SELAH!!!!

 

 

Are You Full Still?

Are you full still, Littlestone?

Yes, my King, he replied smiling.

He had been realizing the fullness of God found in Christ Jesus was all about His love.

As written in Ephesians 3:16-21:

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 

may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,

 to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 

and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—

that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,

according to his power that is at work within us, 

to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,

for ever and ever!

 Amen.

He had such fullness of His great love by experience by God never left Littlestone for weeks…..

His love was covering him when he did not know there was a God, and is now and will ever be with and in Littlestone.

He could run his horse forever because of the joy of His God was overflowing… even…..

Through all sort of stuff…..He would hear, are you still full, Littlestone?

He would answer smiling, Yes, Sir.

So Littlestone learned beyond the Word, and the Word was made flesh in his heart….

Nothing can separate him from God’s great love as written in Philippians 3:26-39:

 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for,

 

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,

 because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,

 who have been called according to his purpose.

For those God foreknew

 he also predestined 

to be conformed to the image of his Son, 

that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 

And those he predestined, 

he also called; 

those he called,

he also justified; 

those he justified,

 he also glorified.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? 

If God is for us, who can be against us? 

He who did not spare his own Son, 

but gave him up for us all—how will he not also,

along with him, graciously give us all things? 

 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?

It is God who justifies. 

Who then is the one who condemns? 

No one.

Christ Jesus who died—

more than that,

who was raised to life—

is at the right hand of God 

and is also interceding for us. 

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

Shall trouble or hardship

 or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j]

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

 neither the present nor the future, 

nor any powers, 

 neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God

 that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

To go through stuff as he did recently from the cruel people and checked himself….

Littlestone still had joy.

Littlestone still felt full in the love of His God for him.

Littlestone still was in fellowship with His King minute by minute…..

How great is the love of God that He has in His people through Christ Jesus.

The reward of learning more of His God and King  was greater joy and contentment  than anything found in this world.

He praised God as Daniel did in Daniel 2: 20-23, 27-45:

 

During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.

He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.

 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, 

but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. 

He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. 

Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you were lying in bed are these:

 “As Your Majesty was lying there, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. 

 As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than anyone else alive,

but so that Your Majesty may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.

 “Your Majesty looked,

and there before you stood a large statue

an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 

The head of the statue was made of pure gold,

its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 

 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 

While you were watching, a rock was cut out,

but not by human hands. 

It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver

and the gold were all broken to pieces

 and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer.

The wind swept them away without leaving a trace.

But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

“This was the dream,

and now we will interpret it to the king. 

Your Majesty, you are the king of kings.

 The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 

 in your hands he has placed all mankind

and the beasts of the field and the birds in the sky.

Wherever they live,

he has made you ruler over them all. 

You are that head of gold.

“After you, another kingdom will arise,

 inferior to yours.

Next, a third kingdom,

 one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 

Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom,

strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—

and as iron breaks things to pieces,

so it will crush and break all the others.

Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron,

so this will be a divided kingdom;

yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it,

even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 

 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay,

so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 

And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay,

 so the people will be a mixture

and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

“In the time of those kings,

the God of heaven will set up a kingdom

 that will never be destroyed,

nor will it be left to another people.

It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end,

 but it will itself endure forever. 

This is the meaning of the vision

 of the rock cut out of a mountain,

but not by human hands—

a rock that broke the iron,

the bronze,

the clay,

the silver and the gold to pieces.

“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future.

 The dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

 

Littlestone thought His God and King does not dwell in the things made by man’s hands but by Him alone as written Isaiah 66:1-2:

This is what the Lord says:

“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
 Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word.

Psalm 110:

The Lord says to my lord:[a]

“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”

The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

 Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.[b]

The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”

The Lord is at your right hand[c];
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
He will drink from a brook along the way,[d]
and so he will lift his head high.

But our God who is mighty in battle delights Himself in the sons of men as written we are the temple of the living God…..Do you not know?.…..

For those who have bowed their knee to the King enthroned and have a heart full of love for Him alone has come to make His abode in their heart, their spirit…. As written in John 14:19-22, 23:

Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. 

Because I live, you also will live. 

 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. 

The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. 

My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 

Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching.

These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

 

As the final thought as more is to come…..

Do you not know you are the temple of the living God?

Where is this scripture written? Do you know? Who is dwelling in your heart?

Do you not know our God never slumbers or sleeps. His eyes are watching and testing the sons of men….. Do you not know? He will hold accountable all who have been born on this earth, but for the blood of the Lamb to those who believe.

Do you not know,……….the Stone which was taken out of the mountain is marvelous in our eyes.

Praise be to the One who was and is and is to come.

Allelulia!

SELAH!
