What He Has Done, He Is Doing Again….

Littlestone could not remember such a great spring that he had enjoyed. His King told him to camp out up in His meeting hill.  Littlestone made the arrangements and did. He was told to come up here…. He went on foot……Never regretted the time he gave to His King….. Littlestone thought, He is my reward.

He had learned so much that he had written enough in three thick notebooks….. He read them over and over and asking for more understanding.

He asked his King, You laid Your hands on the blind man twice and then he saw clearly. Holy Spirit, please take the scales off my eyes so I may see and understand all You are showing me.

He spoke there was a severe storm called leprosy clinging to His children.  He was upset they are reading all things but of Him. They sit and fellowship with everyone and things but not Me.

He said I AM did it before and I AM is doing it again.  I AM cleaning My temple.

This time the money changers are within and the sheep and goats are within leaving no room for My Spirit to dwell.

The trees are falling again from the storms and will also get cut down by His workmen with the saws.

I AM asked for all….. If you and I AM were all there, would you come to Me then?

I AM walks through the gardens of My children hearts…… I AM wants to see My Son.

The biggest movement is a heart turning towards I AM in their stillness through their strife and difficulty.

Leprosy is a body walking without its part. Leprosy in the soul and spirit of a man is there when I AM not. Most of their parts are rotting with death and decay…. Turn to Me. Faith is the turn and humility is the way.

After He called the people to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen [carefully] to Me, all of you, [hear] and understand [what I am saying]: there is nothing outside a man [such as food] which by going into him can defile him [morally or spiritually]; but the things which come out of [the heart of] a man are what defile and dishonor him. 

  [If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”]

When Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the [b]house, His disciples asked Him about the parable. 

 And He said to them, “Are you, too, so foolish and lacking in understanding? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile and dishonor him,  since it does not enter his heart, but [only] his stomach, and [from there it] is eliminated?” 

(By this, He declared all foods [c]ceremonially clean.) 

And He said, “Whatever comes from [the heart of] a man, that is what defiles and dishonors him.

 For from within, [that is] out the heart of men, come base and malevolent thoughts and schemes, acts of sexual immorality, thefts, murders, adulteries,  acts of greed and covetousness, wickedness, deceit, unrestrained conduct, envy and jealousy, slander and profanity, arrogance and self-righteousness and foolishness (poor judgment). 

 All these evil things [schemes and desires] come from within and defile and dishonor the man.”, ( Mark 7:14:23).

 Jesus got up and left there and went to the region of Tyre [and Sidon, the coastal area of Phoenicia]. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know about it; but it was impossible for Him to be hidden [from the public].

 Instead, after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.

 Now the woman was a Gentile (Greek), a [a]Syrophoenician by nationality. And she kept pleading with Him to drive the demon out of her daughter. 

 He was saying to her, “First let the children [of Israel] be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the [b]pet dogs (non-Jews).” 

 But she replied, “Yes, Lord, but even the pet dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

And He said to her, “Because of this answer [reflecting your humility and faith], go [knowing that your request is granted]; the demon has left your daughter [permanently].” 

 And returning to her home, she found the child lying on the couch [relaxed and resting], the demon having gone, ( Mark7:25-30).

Only I AM can change a man’s spirit from dead to alive….. Only I AM can conform  man’s soul in to My image…..and have My character…..

Only by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts…..

I AM hears all trying to correct themselves…. They cannot change the dead into life…..Only by I AM hand’s can the dead be made reborn from above.

It is like trying to get to the other side of a big gulley….. There is a bridge but man rather go his way and try to cross it by his own means…..His means will be lead to death….Meanwhile, he saw the bridge there for easy access to a better way and away from the big ditch, but he would not heed My way…. I AM is man’s way to life…. My bridge I AM has laid for all to cross over into life…. The flaming sword will allow you to partake of I AM and His kingdom…… Come to Me now… While the day is before My Day.

Walking by sight and not by faith is leprosy to a soul and spirit. Turn to I AM and be made new, His King spoke. Not by sight do you come, but by faith that I AM has called you out to bring you in.

 Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 I thank my God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,so that in everything you were [exceedingly] enriched in Him, in all speech [empowered by the spiritual gifts] and in all knowledge [with insight into the faith]. 

 In this way our testimony about Christ was confirmed and established in you,  so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift [which comes from the Holy Spirit], as you eagerly wait [with confident trust] for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ [when He returns]. 

 And He will also confirm you to the end [keeping you strong and free of any accusation, so that you will be] blameless and beyond reproach in the day [of the return] of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, ( 1 Corinthians 1:3-9).

This word was from just one morning with Him on the hill.

He had lost count to the days on the mount.  Each day Littlestone thought he would leave today…. But as his eyes opened  and he sat up…. His King’s voice would be heard….then the day would be darkened and His fire was burning bright. He stayed and never felt so welcomed in a place as it was in Him.

His King said he was here going on forty days. He wondered how it could have been that long as it seemed one day fell right into another and the world did not change. He was up in a place where change was not because He was.

Oh King, to hear you speak as to a friend…. I thank You for this is because of You and not out from me.

Oh King, to be with you all the day and all the night…… I thank You for this is because of You and not from me.

Oh King to have this fellowship outside of time in You, Oh Eternal Flame, but because I am in this realm of time, I am Yours and You are Mine now and forever for Your Flame is and will ever be to reign in me.

Oh King, for You to answer and give the delights even though I have not asked, You still bestow….. So delights I wonder on, but keep silent… You know…. You know every thought that I have….. You bestow on Me my hidden delights…. Your love never ends. You are such a good Father to me. Thank You for Your hand always upon Me. This is Your way and Your love bellows on not because of Me, but You see Your Son hidden in a place where I cannot see, but I do believe……. Christ in me is my only hope of glory.

 Oh King, You are my Light and there is no darkness in You…. Even the plots and schemes of the wicked are made known to me….. Not because of Me, but the glory goes all to You.  Even in darkness, evil has no place to hide from Your eyes and Your children for all is made known. Your protection is made known over Your lambs and Your flock.

Oh King, You be my vision, oh, Ruler over all.

Thank You for all my days to hear the song of Your voice and the sound of Your approach.

The hill is high and the air is thin, but the Food is so rich as is the enjoyment. No man can share the place I fellowship in You.

Manna from heaven, is the Food I seek.  No man’s empty praises are as a python hold on to me… I run away quickly from them but You I do seek…. Your glory is my goal. All other things, I do not take hold.

None can compare with the Fare the King’s has set before me as the enemies are all around….The flaming sword of God keeps all away because they have chosen not to cross the bridge that the Lamb of God built by every drop of His blood….

The chasm of iniquities and sins of men and women have kept the flaming sword held high, but blessed is the one who’s courage ventures on to the bridge to meet the Man covered in blood hanging on the cross.

See how the flaming sword of God bows to let the humble one venture on to the heaven that is now opened…..See the little one bow and be covered in His blood. One, just one, look away and back again, the little one is shining bright covered now in His Father’s love and joy springs from every step as he starts His knowledge trail on the love and grace of God found in the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son.

The complete image of God, the Father in heaven, is found in His Son.

Blessed is the man who is called to come and sup with Him….

Oh never leave. Never leave that perfect place that we have found….

It’s all about Him and not about us…. Rejoice, we are His and He is ours.

The precious blood of Jesus Christ has been shed here and abroad.

Call one and call all, come and eat and drink of the finest Fare on this earth.

Heaven’s Food is the Finest, Richest that man’s mammon cannot buy.

The Drink from heaven is our delight….. Straight from the Father’s hand is our cup made full of mercy for me and you.

It is certainly a delight straight from heaven.  Never be hungry….

This Food is life…. No more death. His death has become our life. In His death we have life. In Death, we live.

Come and partake of the life from above…… We are from heaven now and we are seated there….. Oh never leave, my friend. Never leave. Keep the focus from above to below…See things as He does and keep at peace…. The world is getting darker and He is getting closer to His Day. Rejoice and rejoice.

Keep His light burning bright…. The world will hate you, but you are His delight.

There will be a Day:

 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be, ( Matthew 24:37-39).

Are you ready for that Day?

A shining bride He has come to receive, so let us be ready and keep our lanterns lit with the Eternal Flame of God…. So He speaks, I see Myself in that one for in the End it shall be  as in the Beginning says I AM.

Rest, Trust In Your Greatness….

Little Person sat in peace in the greatness of his God.

All things may be going crazy by the effects of evil and their doing of chaos.

However, Little Person just delighted in the truth. God is so great and Little Person appreciated the opportunity, for the rest of his life here on this earth, to rest in His greatness. So he did.

Then he heard:…..

I have changed your name to Little Stone, little one.

He blinked and wondered on the name as he wrote this new word down.

Okay, Sir.  Not sure why but I receive what You have spoken.

Wherever your foot steps what has been asleep is to be awakened to I AM. You will lodge yourself in the minds to turn to I AM as a pebble caught in a person’s sandal, reminds one to stop on the wrong path they may be walking……and look up for directions…..

My people turn the world upside down because that is what I AM has called it to be…. This world is to be right side up.  The blinders will be taken off and the heart of the people will start to hear I AM and seek My place in their heart….

Yes, Sir.  Little Person was quickly writing what he had heard.

Little Person had remembered a saying he heard…..not sure from where….For evil to triumph, all it takes is for good men to do nothing.

He remembered in John 4 and 6, how Jesus, his King, spoke in John 4:27-38:

 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,  “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 

They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.

Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”

My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 

Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!

They are ripe for harvest. 

 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 

Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 

I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

John 6 shows His words verses 35-63 :

 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.  All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 

 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 

 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 

For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”\

 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered.  “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 

 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[d] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 

 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 

 I am the bread of life.

 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 

But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 

 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 

 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 

 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 

 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 

 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 

 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.

The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[e] and life.

He saw in Numbers 11:1-15, 23, 31-34:

 Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. 

 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the Lord and the fire died down.

 So that place was called Taberah,[a] because fire from the Lord had burned among them.

 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 

 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. \

But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!”

 The manna was like coriander seed and looked like resin. 

The people went around gathering it, and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 

 When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.

 Moses heard the people of every family wailing at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. \

He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? \

 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors? 

 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 

 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.

 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”

The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.”

Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[b] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 

 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[c] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 

 But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague. 

 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[d] because there they buried the people who had craved other food.

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me? 

“I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?

Says the Lord God Almighty to all the world from Jeremiah 32:27, to everyone who breathes His breath of life on this earth.

His arm is not shortened. Nor is His hand not willing. May we ask for eyes to see all He has done for us and continues with His greatness and might.

Look up and see what I AM will do and has done and is doing this day before all your eyes…. Ask for eyes to see…. And an understanding heart…

Seek the will of the One who has sent you for we are as He is on the earth.

Little Person was writing and writing and writing.

He saw in the scriptures the wilderness was an example for us now. The manna from heaven which the Israelites complained about actually revealed the personal hand of God  taking care of them alone. He had them in their sight every hour and every second from sun up to sun down. They were never forgotten….. He wanted to see if they would love Him by their obedience to Him beyond their cravings and ….their cryings of their flesh.

He redeemed them from the Egyptians. Now He was feeding them everyday….. personally….. Just as He does with us now from His Spirit within us….

He was desiring that they would be so absorbed in His presence, they would not care about the length of days they ate the manna….. Their daily food from heaven…A miracle food was turned into a complaint…

He prayed that His people on this earth now, look at His presence as our daily food which should not be taken lightly.  If we do not eat His Food, how can we pass Him to others? They may take Him or spit in your face….. but they will know there is a special something about us. They realize they need.

Eternal life and joy is worth the cost of everything here on this earth thought Littlestone.

We now have eat the True Bread from Heaven….. And it is our meat to do the will of the Father through His Spirit which dwells within us.

We are to be separate and live lives unto Him and Him alone. If we are still carnal, then we will despise His presence and His Word.

We will despise talking to Him….. Praying. We pray because we know He hears and answers.

It is our meat to do the will of the One who has sent us…..thought Littlestone.

Little Person also spoke to God that His Servant Moses wanted more than anything for all to be filled with His Spirit or have the Spirit resting upon all….. He did not want to be the in LIMELIGHT. He wanted all to obey and love God as he did. He cherished his time with His King…. He fought for it daily. No distractions and no interuptions….

He knew His Spirit would help many to understand His ways.

Thank Him for the day His Spirit comes to give you His Bread daily…..

There is none other like our God in this world. There is no competition.

There is no greater peace than to rest in His greatness.

We thank You for all of You given to us through Your Son, our King, and His Spirit with in us now…. We welcome You in our hearts, lives and homes completely….. We would never ignore a person of importance if they came to visit….. Do we ignore the God, our Creator, once we have asked Him to dwell within us?

We would never insult Him by putting off studying His Word,…. our daily instructions and Bread….How many times do we go to the refrig for food and not talk to Him, the True Bread from Heaven….

We honor You, our God, by the actions and thoughts and our desires toward more of You…. Our meat is to do the will of You…..Thank You for more grace to complete our days in Your will.

SELAH!

He Is The Alpha And Omega…..And To Us?

 Little Person’s two days were very difficult.  He knew there was an importance to get to his meeting on His hill….

He got Aaliyah ready. Off they went up the hill. The weather was brisk and it was supposed to be raining but the rain diminished in thin air…. He thanked his King for the sun.  Riding in the cold and rain was not fun.

He got up there and there was grass for his mare this time.  There were a couple of wildflowers peeking out here and there….. The sun was shining brightly through the clouds quickly passing by.  The wind was strong.

Little Person could tell there was something coming. He could sense this in his gut.

He let Aaliyah graze and got his notebook out and reread his last meeting again.

He still was quieting his soul to be taught again by Holy Spirit.

He knew the cross of Jesus Christ is the Beginning but in him, he knew it was everlasting until he put on immortality.  So the cross of Jesus manifests in me so the resurrected Jesus’ life also manifests.

He thought Holy Spirit, I am sure relieved You are here in me to do the work of transforming me because I want to become all that my King wants me to be but I really do not know how….. Only You do.

So please tell me what to do and when to do or not to do, and with Your grace, I will obey.

Thank You as I really put my trust in all of this sanctification process…. I know, Holy Spirit, that Hebrews says I am sanctified and being sanctified:

Hebrews 10:10: And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:14: For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

This one thing I know, speaking to Holy Spirit, I am very appreciative that You are in charge of His work and not me!  I want to be His handiwork of grace for all the world to see how great my God is to me and will be to you- just ask and believe in the Son of God.

Then He heard, You are Mine and My handiwork is all over your days, My Little One.

Hebrews 2:13: And again, “I will put my trust in him. “And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

 Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion. ( Isaiah 8:18).

He remembered how his cat was sick and he laid hands on his cat and then asked for His grace…. The cat was revived.

I thank You for each day she has gotten better and stronger.  I thank You for Your healing power in her….

You are so great and strong. I thank You for all You do that I see and do not see.

Then Little Person heard:

Tell them, I remove My lampstand. I AM is never kicked out of anywhere…. I AM removes My lampstand… My precious Spirit will move to those who desire Me.

They may say I AM kicked out of here and there but if one of Mine is in the room, so is I AM. When they persecute them to leave, they are persecuting I AM.  It is not good for them to kick against the goads.

Remember when the Ark of the Covenant was taken by the enemies of Israel…. They set My presence in the room with their other gods…. One of the false gods of the Philistines was Dagon, the fish god. The Philistines believed that Dagon had given them victory over Israel. After capturing the ark of the covenant, they brought it to Dagon’s temple as a war trophy and set it before an image or statue of Dagon. ( 1 Samuel 5:7).

Bring to your mind, what happened to the other gods?

They fell, said Little Person.

My hands are not tide down and My ears are not deaf.

I AM sees all and will reward all works of all mankind. Even a dog on a tie to a tree thinks he is free to run here and there until he can not.

There is a stronger Force in this world that guides all mankind in His  purpose and for His glory…. The Great I AM is I AM. All flesh will bow.

They may think they put I AM in their box and try to contain I AM.

I AM is the one who instructed them to make a box…. Can you contain the Wind?  Can you stop the rain from falling? Can you stop the sun from shining and pouring it’s light on each day? Can you cause an eclipse?

Can man stop the day from awakening from the night?

Can man stop the flow of blood of My Son that cleansed mankind the day the earth split?

Can man stop the earth from splitting?

Can man start the rain?

Can man send Holy Spirit?

Can man stop Holy Spirit’s work in men?

Can man stop the flow of My Spirit in My own?

Only man can stop My flowing of MyHoly Spirit within each of their own hearts.

Only man can persecute the ones I send to show them I AM.

Only man can allow the devil in their action so they steal, kill and destroy.

Only man thinks I AM does not see or hear their evil plans and actions of sin.

Many people speak of My King David and speak of the words of My Son……Why do I not hear them speaking of My martyr Stephen regarding My Spirit?

There was a silence then….. Little Person stuttered, I do not know, Sir. But as he thought of the question. He never did hear a sermon on the talk Stephen gave that led him to being stoned in the Book of Acts.  He remembered one man that taught on Stephen.

It was in regards to men wanting to control and stop Holy Spirit from running His work though the people of God.

 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people. Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia—who began to argue with Stephen. 

 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.

 Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”

So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. They produced false witnesses, who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”

 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

7 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”

To this he replied: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran. ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’[b]

“So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. 

 God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated. 

 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’[c] 

Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth. Later Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

“Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him 10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.

 “Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food. When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit. 

 On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was, and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family. 

 After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all. 

Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died. Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.

 “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased. 

 Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’[d] 

He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.

 “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child.[e] For three months he was cared for by his family. When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son. 

 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites. He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian. 

 Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not. 

 The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’

 “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’[f] 

 When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.

 “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. 

When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say: 

 ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’[g] Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

 “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 

 I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’[h]

 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 

 He led them out of Egypt and performed wonders and signs in Egypt, at the Red Sea and for forty years in the wilderness.

 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’[i] 

 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors; and he received living words to pass on to us.

 “But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt. 

They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’[j] 

 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made.

 But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars. This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:

“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?

You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
    and the star of your god Rephan,
    the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’
[k] beyond Babylon.

 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen. 

 After receiving the tabernacle, our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David,who enjoyed God’s favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[l] 

But it was Solomon who built a house for him.

“However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:

“‘Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me?
says the Lord.
    Or where will my resting place be?
Has not my hand made all these things?’
[m]

 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 

 Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”

 When the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 

“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him,dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. 

Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.

While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 

 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

Little Person had just finished reading from the Book of Acts, chapters 6: 8 through all of  7.

He sighed and waited unto His King.  He was asking for grace for His people to make room in their heart for His Beginning in their lives this day….. The cross makes room in us for Him to be enthroned and guide us into His path for each of us…. Please give us the grace to see Your Spirit….. He is holy and so are we because He is so are we…… Holy Spirit is the presence of our King….. Is there room for Him in our inn, our heart, our lives?  He removes His lampstand….We are to love Him with all we are and have. Open up the gates of our heart and allow the King to reign and He does bring His cross.

Selah!!

All That Can Be….When We Believe….

Little Person continued to write as if the week of His suffering went right before him.  He sat there and walked with Him as he did the first time the Lord opened his eyes by the power of that kind 0lder Man that just appeared out of no where.

Then Little Person was writing as he saw the power of death lose it’s grip on mankind as he witnessed the earthquake and the brightest light he had ever seen prelude the Son of Man walking out of the tomb.

No stone could hold Him back. He saw the brightness of His countenance as the noon day sun shining on Little Person.

He kept writing as he was watching……..

This was not the end of His story….. Now the building of His church was on His mind.

Come one and come all and see the goodness of the Lord. His grace had been shed for you and for me.

Come and see our resurrected King.  His way is narrow but oh, how high does He bring us.

Look up and be where He has called all of us to be.

Behold, the Firstborn from the dead and many more will be because of His great love for you and for me.

Salvation is His key for the purpose of the Godhead to be as They see.

We as His body, His new creation.  The new creation who walks this earth learning to be

As He is so are we.

Consumed to be as He has destined us to be…… conformed to Himself….

Christ will be all and in all……

The image of the King will be found in His body.

The radiant bride will also arise from her tomb and shine as the noon day sun.

Our King goes before us and has shown us His way.

All of creation is awaiting the day when the sons of God will walk in the fullness of His glory.

Now we seek to know:

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] 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. ( Ephesians 1:17-23).

 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family[a] 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,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen,                     

( Ephesians 3:14-21).

Little Person thought this great power which raised Christ from the dead resides in His body…. This power, Holy Spirit, is His resurrected power which stops at nothing.  This power is His glory that all creation groans to be clothed with as well as His believers….Mortality looses its hold for one that is greater- the resurrected power that births immortality found in the King of all kings and His body.

He continued on his thoughts and scriptures kept popping up in his mind as if Holy Spirit was reminding him of all he had read in his ancient book….. He kept going on in his journey of God. He quickly got out his little ancient book and opened to chapter three of Philippians.

He spent much time in reading this chapter slowly and seeing with opened eyes the purpose of the salvation of God given to mankind….Not to take away of the importance of His taking on mankind’s sin and death decree, but Little Person knew there was more to His purpose to be found in His Son…. He was going to seek this out like going on a trail ride through the mountains…. He saddled up in his ancient book and was going to ask, knowing it will be given….. Show me , Lord. Open up my eyes. Allow me to see and give me the courage to walk this out in You. Nothing is impossible to You…. Give me more grace. Thank You.

Philippians 3: 7-21:

But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life]. 

 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled].

For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.

 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on [e]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.

 [f]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,  I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you. 

 Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.

 Brothers and sisters, together follow my example and observe those who live by the pattern we gave you. 

 For there are many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears, who live as enemies of the cross of Christ [rejecting and opposing His way of salvation],  whose fate is destruction, whose god is their belly [their worldly appetite, their sensuality, their vanity], and whose glory is in their shame—who focus their mind on earthly and temporal things.

But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven.

And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;  who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body.

This chapter and verses were to Little Person  a huge Thanksgiving dinner. He just kept eating and eating and chewing on this perfect Word of God. He received so much hope and a determination to spend his days seeking the fulfillment of the understanding and vision of God’s purpose…A little prayer went before his King, let this be found in me before Your eyes when  the fulfillment of my days on this earth are complete.

Salvation is His means to obtain His new creation through His Beloved Son, my King, thought Little Person. He looked up at Aalyiah and wondered what it looked like as she waited for the sons of God to be revealed in His glory.

Child,

The quest you seek in knowing Me in greater measure will be given to you.  You do not seek entertainment, nor riches or things but My heart you have captured.

Apprehend Me, children, as I AM has apprehended you.

Come to know Me.

Come to fellowship with Me.

Come and sit before Me and see.

Come up higher.

Father God, I thank You for the Gift of Your Son given to me to die as me. However, the greatest Gift, from Your Salvation to me, is Holy Spirit.  I may now sit and be in communion or fellowship with You. This to me, Father, is the greatest Treasure that I keep so close to My heart. There is no greater time in my life than to sit in the cloud of Your glory, Holy Spirit and talk with You. I love You and thank You….. Thank You for the warm sun keeping my hands from freezing too.

I ask a question, You reply and give me Wisdom…. As written, Jesus Christ in 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.

You show me all things which are great and mighty things that I do not know. I thank You. You are so great and so kind…. Yet, Father God, I have so much fun with You that I never want to leave or stop learning……I never am hungry as You fill my heart with so much more than I can ever think or imagine…. I thank You and praise You…. I also thank You for Your great patience.

Father God,  I trust You by the power of Your Holy Spirit that is working His great work,  within me. Father, I ask for more grace so I may grow in the knowledge of You. Thank You.

Little Person was so in fellowship, he did not see the cloud bringing the rain.

Child,

Pack up and start back for in two hours the rain will be.

The cleansing of the land will start.

I will keep the rain back until you are in your car.

Thank you, little one, for being with Me and hearing Me.

In two days, return to Me.  The winter has passed as Spring has sprung.

Trust in Me for all that I AM has purposed will be in those who believe and leave all for Me.

Return to the barn….

Little Person closed up his stuff. Bridled Aalyiah and off they went.

He turned back, one time to see this special place…. All that was around them had blossomed. The grass was green and the beautiful blue sky was covering them in love of His Creator.

He had not noticed that Aalyiah had been munching on the fresh green grass. His brow furrowed as he thought, wasn’t the place all brown when he had arrived?

He turned back one more time before starting her in a trot. Yup, the place looked like a beautiful spring day with winter long gone and moving farther away.

He smiled and looked up…. You are the greatest God and there is no one like You.

Thank You for who You are and who You are to me.

They headed back to the barn in a trot. They had to reduce it to a walk when he got to lower ground. The ground was too soggy for anything but a walk.

Little Person cleaned up Aalyiah and dropped her some hay….. He sat with her as she munched and sneezed. He started to think of all that happened today.  His understanding was not all there yet, but he could totally be excited. His spirit man was jumping up and down from all that could be in front of him now.

Then a rolling of distant thunder was heard.  He patted the mare and said see you in two days as God is willing…..

He got in his car and the heavens opened and poured down the blessing of the rain.

Greater blessings than these shall be if we will have His Spirit lead our way…..Christ in us is our only hope of glory, Little Person thought.

His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

SELAH!

How Did The Red Rose Get Here?

Little Person was looking forward to ride to His meeting place again. The sun was out in full rays the past week or so. The earth was hard enough to hold the weight of them riding up the hills.

He hopped our of the car and looked unto to the hill where his King was waiting…..  He thought, I know You are with me … as You have revealed Your Son in me, but I love to be alone with You. He knew the hill of salvation,…. but he yearned to go and hang out with His King in the heights.

Little Person wanted more of Him.  He was so hungry for the time with His King again. This was as if he were ascending to the heavens and seeing what He is doing and saying first hand…..

As he was riding, he thought maybe the hill should be named- come up here and I will show you things to come….. Then he said to Aaliyah, nope.….. I like the hill of His meeting better. Don’t you?

Aaliyah then sneezed…. He chuckled and asked her, is that a yes, or no?

The ride was slippery here and there climbing up the hill. They finally arrived at His place.

He sat on the rock and saw the overflowing river fly across the tops of the rocks…… Spring was ascending over the cold winter….. Spring was pushing winter right out of the cold place it took over the land.

He popped up to get his notebook from his saddlebag and loosened Aalyiah’s bridle and bit.  He put on her halter and lead and let her search for some grass…..  He watched her for awhile so she did not venture too far….. She finally gave up. The air was too cold up on His hill for grass to grow yet….. She came and stood guard next to Little Person…. She started to doze off…. 

So as they were both settled, Little Person looked to the heavens and prayed. He thanked God for His help. He also thanked Him for keeping Little Person busy through the cold months. Even though He wasn’t at His hill, Holy Spirit taught Little Person much about the revealing of his King.

He started to ask for the honesty of the leaders to come forth. He asked for truth in the inward parts for himself and the leaders or shepherds……  No more business minded for their ministry but really administering Jesus Christ….. Thank You for the grace to learn the revelation of His Son in us as our only hope of glory as well as He alone is the fragrance Father seeks to see and give to His children.

People were contacting him more now than ever to hear what God has spoken to Little Person.

His thought was, if they are in ministry to tell people of God, then they shall hear what I hear.

Why do they need me if the Holy Spirit is theirs?

If they are for Him alone, they shall hear.

He heard to turn to Jeremiah 31:31-34:

The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.

 It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband to[a] them,[b]
declares the Lord.

 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
    and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.”

Father God, I ask from You the grace that all will seek You first, then may men confirm the Words You speak in secret to each heart. May men only point to You alone.  May all who call on Your name follow You alone.  May You be our only Source,

Child, remember in Exodus, the people did not want to hear from Me directly….. They did not want to be so close to fiery God as I AM that I AM.

Pray for each heart to have awareness of their great need to fill and know that I alone will fill their hearts with the love that never fails them.  Ask of Me, the hearts of the people learn to rest in Me…. May the blinders of their eyes of their heart be opened to see and know Me as their all and I AM in all.

After writing this all down. Little Person ventured in speaking, Your sheep are to hear Your voice and to enjoy hearing Your voice and walk with You.

Child,

They do not want to do the hard work of stilling their souls.

They want the news but the not the goodness of I AM.

This is how I AM separating the sheep from the goats.

I AM the Light and you My Little Person are in the light.

People prefer the darkness and keep the view of I AM from afar. This is their deception.

This was the way in the beginning. They wonder why the chaos never leaves their home.

Tell them to open Me and see that I AM good and will satisfy them.

If they have been given ears to hear, they shall hear…. If not, they shall go on…. And not even hear the storm billowing. If they do not hear My still small voice they will never hear the thunder and lightning over their head.

Every father looks for the day their son comes to him to be of His business.

They day has not come for the multitudes of those who call on My name.

I AM whispers. I AM calls. I AM thunders. I AM sends the hail and whirlwind……

Call on Me in the day of trouble, I AM will help.

But they do not call….. They call on man.

They do not lean on Me. They lean on men and government.  They try lean on their own strength.   They refuse the goodness of I AM to strengthen them to achieve and do all things in Me and from Me and for Me.

My fullness of life, eternal life, they do not know to even crave for it now….. for their day, today.

Little Person’s fingers were cramping up again from all these words.  He was thankful for the quiet to catch up with his King.

Little Person remembered what the Pastor said today…..

Will we crown Him King or hang Jesus Christ on the tree?

Will we walk with Him into Jerusalem?

Will we walk with Him to Golgotha?

The place where we lose our mind to obtain the mind of Christ by faith…..

Where greatness is eternal and divine…..

He thought I want to be found big in You, my King…. Not in me.

Galatians 2:20 was remembered by Little Person,…. I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

 A mystery revealed…. His Son is revealed in Me…As written in Colossians 1:26-27:.

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.

Little Person thought to himself as he was writing all this down, the third day, his God Almighty came to Mount Sinai and released His commandments to the nation.

Then on the third day as written in John 2, Jesus was at a wedding where He first filled the waterpots with water, which is His Word, then the waterpots where changed into wine…… representing His church.

Then as Passover was at hand, Jesus found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep and doves….. The money changers doing business….He made a whip of cords and spoke…. Take these things away. Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise.

He also stated He would build His temple in three days.

Lord, You show Yourself very strong on the third days of Your purposed plan.

Child,

Three is the start of My plans and seven is the completion. Many see the confusion of the chaos of the times. Will they look to Me where their help comes from?…… I AM will not stop the chaos but I AM gives I AM as their rest…. My voice rings out, all who are heavy laden, come, I AM will give you rest. I will give you meaning to your life…. I will change the temporal of your sight to the eternal.  All things are possible… 

As I AM walked the earth, trouble was around Me. Trouble came after Me and until the appropriate time as written, I AM was lost in their midst.

As I AM was and is and will ever be, so are My children.

I AM did not come to change the Roman domination….. I AM came to reveal to all a better way…. My place above all things where I AM is calling all to rise up into the heavenly way…… This is My way. I AM is the door to enter…. Come to Me and enter in to a better way.

I AM did not come to change the nations but to build My temple from those I AM called out from the nations…. As I AM called Abraham out from the nation. Then He and I AM formed My new nation….Israel. Now I AM calling from every tribe, tongue and nation, all who are heavy laden and weary. Come I AM will give You rest…. Learn of Me, I AM is meek and humble…. My love for you will never fail and I AM is the calm of any storm…. My eye is the place where you may be in the storm but it won’t touch you, for you are kept as the apple of My eye.

Storms will come and those who are founded on My Word, Myself, My Rock, will always be found in Me and remain through out all eternity.

Know Me now while you can….. In the quiet of the storm, seek Me. I AM will be found. Do not run here and there….. Just sit and look to Me. Call on Me and I AM will be found.

The blood of I AM is everlasting and will cover all those who seek Me with a broken and contrite heart.

The way may be long and narrow, but you knowing Me, will have joy overflowing like the river that bubbles within you of My everlasting life.

May all walk with Me into the city of Jerusalem. May all bow to Me now. Crown Me your King. Crown Me with the belief you know I AM your Savior. Crown Me with your faith which calls your heart to break on all you see of your sin.  Crown Me as you receive the forgiveness of your God.

Crown Me with the love of your watering eyes as you see your King hanging on the tree for you….. See Me and you will never be blind again….

See Me. Look at Me. See My eyes. See My love…..I AM has died to give you all I AM has to win you back to I AM forever.

See Me……on the donkey walking into the place where I AM knew I AM was to die……..but I AM knew what would be on that third day…


I AM the Beginning. In three days I AM will build My temple.

Come and be. Allow this day be your third day in Me.

My flesh had to die to remove your flesh from you. Come and be of My Spirit and grace….

My Cross is the way to your third day….. Enter in…. Allow My Spirit to reveal the all that happened that bloody day.  Allow My Spirit to reveal to you the depths of love I AM has for you.

A single red rose I AM lays at your feet.  As you pick it up the thorn stings your finger. You flinch from the quick pinch of  pain…. My child, that is death that has lost it’s sting. You may bleed a bit, but the healing and restoration of My life brings you fully into eternity with Me.  The corruptible will submit to the incorruptible and you are as I AM now and forevermore.

Will you pick up the rose and walk with Me up to the road of calvary?

Will you walk with Me and learn of all that was death and all that is I AM and life evermore?

Come all who are weary and heavy laden, I AM does give rest…..

Come and see!

Understanding will be My key for you to see all you need from Me. As you walk with Me, then be all I AM has called you to today and always will be greater. See as you grow in I AM…. I AM grows greater in you. Allow all I AM to be your everything….Alas, you shall be all that has been planned and is forever more.

Walk with Me and ask for the grace I AM will bestow on you so you may believe… I AM calling you out.  I AM then brings you in….

This is all up to you…. Will you pick up My red rose and follow Me these next couple of days?  This must be first:…. The bowing of your King to be crowned with thorns was to gather all unto Him….

See….. Him. Will we crown Him King or hang Him on the tree that was made for you and me?

SELAH!

To Burn Now Or Burn Later?

The restaurant closed very late that night.  All the people bundled up and headed for their snow-covered cars.

Someone yelled out, hey, snow represents the grace of God, so pure and He covered all of us in the diner and our cars too!  He never stops being so good. Doesn’t He? He covered us all in His blood and now we are white as snow…..Praise Him

There was a vibration of Alleluia through the cold night air flying up to heaven as they were scraping off their windshields of snow.

Then one by one, each car left and went to their respective homes.

Then as the conversation stopped between John, Peter and Little Person and Uri, they started to get their coats on as John and Peter turned off the lights.

The young couple thanked the diner owners again. Again the owners said, we all were greatly blessed with this revelation of our coming King. Again, anytime you both want to use this place for His purpose, come on in!

They all smiled and prayed for safe drive home as it started snowing again.

As Little Person was shoveling the snow off his windshield, he thought, where two or more are gathered in His name, He is there.

Thank You, my King for showing up and helping me with words to help all understand Your great wisdom and purpose for each of us.

Uri was almost praying the same prayer inside the car while she was turning the heat fan on high.

The next couple of days, so many things happened and yet the sun rose and the sun set. The snow melted under the sun rays and ran to its place in the river.

Little Person was at the barn, wanting to ride, but the earth was too saturated with God’s goodness of a snow melt.  He turned out Aaliyah in the paddock. He decided to sit on the fence rail scratching her neck as she rubbed her head on his thigh. Thanking God for the smell of this horse was so calming to him as the world right now was anything but calm.

He spoke out, Lord, You did say there will be tribulation in the world, but in You, there is peace. I thank You.

She eventually went to nibble on some very brown grass moving the snow around with her muzzle.

He enjoyed sitting in the sun even though the air was still very cold.

He brought in his lungs a deep breath and released a very deep sigh.

Some darkness in the religious world were being exposed that needed to be and it was right and just but made his heart break.

He was asking Holy Spirit for a scripture to apply his broken heart to heal.

This verse popped up in his mind….. He ran to the car and got his bible and found it:

1 Corinthians 3:16-23:

Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]? 

 If anyone destroys the temple of God [corrupting it with false doctrine], God will destroy the destroyer; for the temple of God is holy (sacred), and that is what you are.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [discarding his worldly pretensions and acknowledging his lack of wisdom], so that he may become [truly] wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness (absurdity, stupidity) before God; for it is written [in Scripture], “[He is] The one who catches the wise and clever in their craftiness;”  

and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the [humanly] wise, that they are useless.” 

 So let no one boast in men [about their wisdom, or of having this or that one as a leader]. For all things are yours, 

 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter) or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things are yours, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.

The scripture that was the lead was verse 11 from the same chapter:

 for no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ.

He knew His church, His body is built on the revelation that is given from heaven above, from, our Father in heaven.  Anything else will be destroyed by God for, we are worshipping Him in Spirit and Truth…… Nothing else shall remain for Christ will be all and in all.

He also flipped to chapter 6 and read the chapter and the verses stood out of 11:20:

 And such were some of you [before you believed]. But you were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior].


 
Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me]. 

 Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with both of them.

The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body [to save, sanctify, and raise it again because of the sacrifice of the cross]. 

 And God has not only raised the Lord [to life], but will also raise us up by His power.

 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Am I therefore to take the members of Christ and make them part of a [a]prostitute? Certainly not!

 Do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall be one flesh.” 

 But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 

 Run away from sexual immorality [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written].

Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. 

 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [propety)You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own].

 So then, honor and glorify God with your body.

Then Little Person remembered by Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians chapter 10’s warning and exhortation:

For I do not want you to be unaware, believers, that our fathers were all under the cloud [in which God’s presence went before them] and they all passed [miraculously and safely] through the [Red] Sea; 

 And all [of them] were baptized into Moses [into his safekeeping as their leader] in the cloud and in the sea; and all [of them] ate the same [a]spiritual food;

 and all [of them] drank the same [b]spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 

 Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with [c]most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death].

 Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did. 

 Do not be worshipers of handmade gods, as some of them were; just as it is written [in Scripture], “The people sat down to eat and drink [after sacrificing to the [d]golden calf at Horeb], and stood up to play [indulging in immoral activities].” 

 We must not indulge in [nor tolerate] sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand [suddenly] fell [dead] in a single day! 

 We must not tempt the Lord [that is, test His patience, question His purpose or exploit His goodness], as some of them did—and they were killed by serpents. 

And do not murmur [in unwarranted discontent], as some of them did—and were destroyed by the [e]destroyer. 

 Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 

 Therefore, let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 

 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].

Therefore, my beloved, run [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] idolatry [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul].

 I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say. 

Is the cup of blessing which we bless [at the Lord’s Supper] not a sharing in the blood of Christ? [Indeed it is.] Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ? [Indeed it is.] 

 Since there is one bread, we [believers] who are many are [united into] one body; for we all partake of the one bread [which represents the body of Christ]. 

 Consider the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners of the altar [united in their worship of the same God]? [Indeed they are.] 

 What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 

 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples].

 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons.

You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them].

Do we [really] provoke the Lord to jealousy [when we eat food sacrificed to handmade “gods” at pagan feasts]? Are we [spiritually] stronger than He? [Certainly not! He knows that the idols are nothing. But we deeply [f]offend Him.]

 All things are lawful [that is, morally legitimate, permissible], but not all things are beneficial or advantageous.

All things are lawful, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].

Little Person took a big sigh and looked up to the heavens above…. Lord, God of all souls…. Please instill a fear to number our days and to live before You with a reverence that can only be instilled by Holy Spirit in us.

Please help us Holy Spirit to have fear, a great large endorsement of Your holy fear of You.  Not to be afraid of You but a fear of turning our back on You. Not to trample on Your grace, which is found in the blood of Your Son shed for us.

Lord, may we really see You through Your Son…..as it is written, if we have seen the Son then we have seen the Father…..

Father, please let it not be said from You this scripture upon the souls on this earth today of John 12:39-40:

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”

If this is the Laodicean  church before You, please give us the understanding to buy the eye salve to see You.  Let us be reborn in the garments from heaven. Let us be found to clothed in Holy Spirit with a heart that is after You alone.

Not fame, not a platform, not greed and not an evil eye…

But a pure heart so we may see You.

A heart that seeks You alone and all the beauty You are to us because of all You have created for us to be with You in Your garden.

Please allow us a heart after You alone.

Purify us with a fire of Holy Spirit.

All that is left from the burning is our burning for you.

Please forgive us seeking greatness and not pointing to You and You alone in Your greatness.

SELAH!

Bees May Sting, But Death You Lost Yours

Now we come to the number four as this is the fourth horse and their riders who were given authority over the earth to kill one fourth of the earth by four means: sword, hunger, death and by the beasts of the earth…… The rider is death and eternal destruction pointing to Hades who follows close behind, Little Person continued on…..

He looked up and asked Uri, which way was the cross of Jesus Christ pointed?

She quickly picked up her head from the notes, and spoke, all over.  The four corners of the earth. The north, south, east and west…..

He continued, well, the sacrifice of the Son of God was for the whole world. Right?

Uri looked at him, yeah, why?

Little Person spoke, well, the number four regards the whole earth….. Look at the number four as a global number…..  Okay?

Uri agreed, okay.

There are four ways of destruction to cover the earth. But we know who has the keys to death and Hades.  So what may come our way on this earth, we know that Death has lost its sting as written in 2 Corinthians 15:55:58:

“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We who are in Christ will not suffer the second death as spoken by our King.

We will reign victorious as with our King.

So, His grace and knowledge of the cross for salvation was for all the world, …..As written in John 3;15-16:

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There is not one person or animal on this earth that will not face death. The question is not that we will not die but that we will not perish in the second death as written.

That is why if we peek into the fifth seal, we see the martyrs. Those that laid down their lives for the name of Jesus Christ……. They are waiting for all of the saints until the fullness of Christ is met in His body.

But there is no sorrow or pain…. Their garments are white…..

I am speaking of them, but it is us…. His body, the body of our King.

So knowing there will be stuff for us to overcome here…. We overcome this earth and all evil by our faith in our Victor Christ Jesus.

We start to live now as Paul spoke in Philippians chapter 3: 7-11: But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life].

 But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled].

For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ,and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. 

 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];

so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.

So as we continue on this seal,….. we see we are victorious because Jesus Christ is…. However, if we read the letter to the churches in Revelation, the Spirit of the Lord says to us: there are rewards for us who do overcome the world and have a walk that is victorious as He has set the plumbline for us to follow….

God never sets a standard unless He has given us the ways to achieve and adhere to His standard, which is by His Spirit.

The way is not by works but by faith… Faith in the King who has done all for us and will continue to achieve His standard within us by His Spirit…. We must only be obedient and adhere to what Holy Spirit is saying to us…. Whether it feels good or not…. More than likely, it will not feel good to our flesh…. But then again, we live by faith and we have died with Christ… The life we now live we live by faith in Jesus who died for us and loved us as written in Galatians.

I am saying all this because, we pass through the second death….as we believe…. but then there are the seven letters to keep us on His path of overcomers.

We must remember that grace is a strength for us to achieve His fulfillment in us…. Grace is not an excuse to allow our flesh to reign, but instead grace is His means for us to consider or reckin us dead. Then live that out by faith and action…..

These are the scriptures from each of the seven churches telling us the reward to the overcomer… or the victor…..Now, as He is so are in the world.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God, as written in Revelation 2:7.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death, written in Revelation 2:11.

He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels, written in Revelation 3:5.

And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nationsand he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star, as written in Revelation 2:26-28.

He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name, as written in Revelation 3:12.

 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne, as written in Revelation 3:12.

He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son as written in Revelation 21:7.

The biggest note to mark here to be victorious over our selves and the world is by our faith….. and to adhere to each letter in the book of Revelation…..I gave the rewards but there were broken standards of our King by His body in those letters….. He gave the instructions to obey in each letter, even the Philadelphia church…..

The power of Holy Spirit within us brings up to our memory the scriptures we know so we may stand by faith on them. Our King alone strengthens us so we may do all things according to Him.

We may overcome all the world by faith in His strength in us….. We live by faith and not by sight. We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

1John 5:1-5:

 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 

 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world?

Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Then as it is written also in 1 John 5:6-12:

 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 

 For there are three that testify: the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 

 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 

 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”, as written in John 8:12…… Little Person spoke….. He alone is the light of the world…..His light now dwells in us….. This is His eternal life bestowed upon each of His believers. His light never dies or is quenched…. Light is life and life eternal.

Eternal life has been bestowed upon us and within us. This gift given to us by God in His Son is beyond this world and we should not take Him lightly or His standards.

We do not do the standard. We cannot.  Only by His Spirit within us can we try to attain the goal of the prize of the upward call of God found in Christ Jesus alone. He alone gets the glory….

We worship now in Spirit and Truth. It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing. The Words He speaks to us are Spirit and they are life.

I see sometimes that His way for us is to allow Him to fill us up with what we are lacking…..in our humanity.

As we do not try to bring in the finances by our arm, but by our obedience to His instructions from being our Provider.  He will lead and provide and we allow Him to fulfill Himself in us.  Not by our arm but His.

We ask Him to be our Healer….. Where we lack, He will quicken our mortal bodies by His Spirit…. Thus He is fulfilling Himself as Healer in us.

We go and speak when He says go and speak. We do not go when He says no. There fore in our everyminute life He is being fulfilled as our God and Leader and Guide.  All fruit that results from this is His glory and His fame and name…. All righteousness found in me is His alone.

I can go on and on in the fulfillment of His standard within us. Christ in us is our hope of glory.

By asking our Heavenly Father to make the fulfillment of His desire within us as He always calls things that are not into being. Things that are He calls not. …. May Your Son be my righteousness alone and my hope alone and my life and light alone. All else will be shaken for only the eternal will remain.

Am I making sense? He looked at Uri. She shook her head up and down as she was writing.

Okay,  we are His body.  As the He is our head…. We should be no different then He.  If we are truly walking by His Spirit and Word, right?

Uri shook her head up and down in agreement.

She looked up and spoke, Okay, when I ride Prince. I am in charge, If I was not in charge, we would end up in a mess, right?

Little Person agreed.

Well, if you see people who may say they are a Christian but live in the world and like the world….. They are not attached to the Head of Jesus Christ.  If they were, they would resemble their separateness to Him.

Right, said Little Person.

This brings me to my last point:

How many times does Jesus Speak, to those who have ears to hear.?

A lot, right? Little Person went on as she shook her head in agreement.

Okay, I saw something in John which I never saw before.

Go to  John 6:32-40:

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.

 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.   

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.

And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.

 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Okay, find the two passages where He says…. You have seen Me but you do not believe…. And all who look but my bible says sees the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life.

We can look and not see…..and we can see and believe….as this is the will of God. Only He can give us the grace to see and then believe.

How many times we have looked and not seen the Son of God or His hand…

Lord, God of Heaven…. We ask for eyes to see and a heart that always believes all You have shown us.

If we believe what He has shown us, we will be established and found in His Truth.

Praise our God forever. There is nothing He forgot or left out.

He has completed His purpose in Christ Jesus and He has called us to be His body.

I mean how cool is our God?

The whole restaurant joined in to thunder sounding: ALLELUIA! Praise be to the Father and praise be to the Son and praise be to Holy Spirit…. Our God, three in One.

His place thundered of His presence through His people just like it was written in the Book of Revelation. All who were there are breathing in the revealing Word of Jesus Christ.

Little Person looked around and for the first time he realized there was a huge crowd listening to him.

He turned beet red.  He looked down.

Then Little Person said, if you heard and understood with your heart, this is because you have been given the eyes to see Him and the ears to obey Him….As our King said this comes by our Father in heaven in Matthew 16:17-19:

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 

 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 

 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” 

 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Let’s ask Him for the grace to live all we have been shown by His Spirit to the pleasure of our Godhead. After all, God is the One alone who has given us the revelation of His Son Jesus Christ living within us.

They all bowed their heads and prayed.

Little Person said, let’s turn to Roman’s 8:31-39:

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.”[a]

 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,[b] 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.

Little Person raised his head and looked to all of the people.

I do not want you to take what I got for granted. I want you all to study the scriptures and check out His Word. Come and see for your self if these things are true.

We live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God…… We must know Him and that is done by knowing His Word…..

Then as we fellowship through His Word by His Spirit, we grow and are being transformed into the image of His Son…. Remember, Christ will be all and in all.

It has been our heavenly Father’s good pleasure to give us His Spirit to dwell within us so we may learn and walk out our salvation…. We are sanctified and are being sanctified unto God into His righteousness and holiness.

His grace is our strength in battle. His Presence is our joy. His Fellowship is to be honored and adored above everything in our lives.

Read His Word. Know Him….

His fulfillment is here…. We also call things that are as if they are because we know the things that are – are not.

For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

This is fulfilled in you and me…… May all the people see the voice who is calling them to be, then turn to be known by Him….. He wants to see Himself in all… He wishes none to perish.

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practices a lie.

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

And the Spirit and the bride say “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely, ( Revelation 22:12-17).

Amen!

SELAH!

More to come- God is willing

Where To Be Or Where Not To Be….The Door Is Open…Do You Know Who Has The Keys?

Can we go over the fourth seal? Not knowing will keep me up all night tryting to figure out what Holy Spirit is showing us at this time for a very important reason….

Little Person started to open up his mouth, but his words were not what he originally wanted to say…..

Little Person could not say no to her….. He said, we will go over the fourth seal… We are on a roll…. Just let your parents know or tell them to come on over…. Thank God that Peter and John do not mind us using this booth for a bible study….

He had not noticed all the booths and tables surrounding them were filled with eager ears and steaming cups of coffee. Peter and John were sitting in the booth behind him.

They smiled at Uri and put a finger to their lips to keep their presence quiet. 

Uri smiled, Peter and John said to take our time here.  Regarding my folks, they  just want the study notes tomorrow  for their own research. They are really excited on what they have as I sent them some notes on a picture from my phone on what we have been studying.

Little Person said, great…….. I have not really written them down concretely even for myself. All I have is my own crazy notes I have written in my notebook.

Uri said, I have….. I will print them off and drop them off tomorrow on the way to my class…..

Then she smirked, my boring class. Uri looked at Little Person and spoke, we have to finish the fourth seal before we leave today.

Little Person said, thanks for the notes…. Okay, text your folks and tell them to give me their thoughts and questions and if they disagree on anything. 

Uri said, okay.

Her fingers were moving very quickly on her phone.

Uri looked up and said, they said thanks for the invite but they want to see my notes. They said you kids have a good time with our King and Holy Spirit. Just give us the intel Little Person received….They said to drive home safely too. They know our King presides over us and protects us.

They took a sip of their cream coffee and turned their attention to the scripture: Revelation 6:7-8

When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”

So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of

him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

This is an easy seal to interpret, I think.  The fourth living creature face is an eagle… Divine life, eternal life…. Life that never ends given to us by Jesus Christ by faith in Him and what He has completed on the cross for us who believe.

In Him, we have been given divine life….But only as we believe and abide in Him and He in us is His life established in us as being members of His body…..

As written in John 5:16-27:

 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. 

 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” 

For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 

 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.

 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.

Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.  

For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 

 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

And also written in 1 John 5: 6-12:

 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 

 For there are three that testify:  the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 

We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 

 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 

 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

I always want to clarify eternal existence because all souls will have eternal existence. Do you know what I mean?

Eternal life is with our King and God Almighty in Their Presence and the other is eternal death in the lake of fire where there is torment and gnashing of teeth forever also.

Again, the divine life is found only by residing or resting in the Son of God in faith and by the power of Holy Spirit and the proof from us is as written in 2 Peter that we just went over…. But there is more:

Revelation 12:11: And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death.

This scripture is shown of those who lost their lives for the Testimony of Jesus Christ. The saints are revealed in the next- the fifth seal.

So we can see there is divine life that is given to us as we believe in Christ Jesus, we escape the second death as is written in the letter to the second church of Smyrna, willing to lay down their lives and will escape the second death. See the scripture in Revelation 2:8-11:

To the angel of the church in Smyrna write:

These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.

I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

 Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.

So we do know that there is for certain a second death…. Second death for the ungodly and resurrection for the righteous found in Him.

By the way, the four seals were revealed by the four living creatures representing the four gospels. This fourth seal is the last seal where the announcement comes from the living creatures revealing the seals broken.

These, I believe, seals explain the Revelation of Jesus Christ through the Gospels for those who are in Him and those who choose not to believe through out every generation.

The life eternal versus death for corruption. Freedom from our sin nature because of His work on the cross and His resurrection is revealed only in the eternalife we have found and is found only IN Christ Jesus for us.

But there is more to His life than what the norm of churches are preaching…. I think they have brought down to the earth a very low level of what has been given to us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His greatness that sits at the right hand of Jesus Christ……

The power that is exceedlingly working through us who believe is greater than we can ever think or imagine…. It is sort of exploring outerspace, they knew there was more to be explored, and they did. If God allowed men to orbit space and land on the moon, He will certainly reveal more of His Son to us, who want to venture into His Land of the Unknown, known as our King Jesus Christ.

I think unbelief runs rapid through Christianity of His reign. Since people have not searched Him out and do not have a solid relationship and trust in the Son of God, they have allowed His “I do not know you” mean I will not. 

Instead of people searching out who He is in a deeper way and know Him, they have brought reproach to His name and His place in the Almighty God….. You and I both know how when we call on His name and seek Him, He answers and does what He says He does….He is always talking, but we must be given His ears to hear and His eyes to see what is given to us by His Spirit today and for the morrow, too!

I think of unlimited possibility of the life of God residing in us by Jesus Christ. He is a power of divine life beyond our imagination…..His life is of Him and not in of ourselves. If we can ask to understand all that His life in us means… I mean, WOW!….

The power of His Word, the Son of God, living within us being active as we abide and believe what He says He means. What He is doing this day within His believers is neverending. Now when we choose to lay down all for Him and gain Him… I mean think of this, we gain Him….

The neverending governing Factor of this universe and Ruler and Judge of all, we are His body. Think of it, He is alive in us, governing us with all He is. The Word of His power as written in Hebrews is very alive and active within us and around us. His government will always increase meaning so does this universe.

The revelation of Jesus Christ in us and us in Him is endless. After all, we are His body, the greatest King that ever will be and ever was.

His Christ within us is our only hope of glory as written in Colossians 1:26. Sometimes I sense He is saying to us, you have tasted a nibble of all I AM has prepared for you….. Come in to Me and gain My increase of I AM.

They both stopped to contemplate that statement for a while….. Seeing the snowflake fall onto the exact place it was meant to from His loving hands.

Then they were given more coffee which they paused to add their quart of cream. Little Person continued:

Okay, let’s move on to the judgment day of our God as revealed to us in Revelation 20:7-15:


And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison (the abyss), and will come out to deceive and mislead the nations which are in the four corners of the earth—[including] Gog and Magog—to gather them together for the war; their number is like the sand of the seashore. 

 And they swarmed up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints (God’s people) and the beloved city []Jerusalem]; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them. 

 And the devil who had deceived them was hurled into the lake of fire and burning brimstone (sulfur), where the beast (Antichrist) and false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.

 And I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them [for this heaven and earth are passing away]. 

 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.

Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life; and the dead were judged according to what they had done as written in the books [that is, everything done while on earth]. 

 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades (the realm of the dead) surrendered the dead who were in them; and they were judged and sentenced, every one according to their deeds. 

 Then death and Hades [the realm of the dead] were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire [the eternal separation from God]. 

 And if [c]anyone’s name was not found [d]written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.

So now we see there is a Book of Life written out and those whose names that are kept in that book move on to Eternal Life with our King and God Almighty….

We thank Him every day and there will be no dry eye or pride resounding…. We know that day when we stand before Him,…. we are there and were kept through all our days by Him alone…. It is all because of Him and not of us….He is the worthy One and we are the gratefuls ones to see His smile…. The great King of the universe, will be welcoming us into His realm, finally visible with our eyes, with the Ancient of Days.

All glory will be given to our God. I can almost hear the choir of voices in heaven giving the praise and exaltation to Him…. and our God.

Now as await His Day, we bow our knee and give all our praise to the King!

Now we can sit here in peace and rest in the knowledge of our King.  We give praise to God for giving us His grace to know His Son and His Truth which has made us free, free indeed.

We have as a seal of our inheritance with our God for the next age as written in Ephesians 1:4-14:

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

In love he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 

 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s gracethat he lavished on us.

With all wisdom and understanding, he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 

 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.

 When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession to the praise of his glory.

We also know that our King who has triumphed over sin and death as our Champion, has the keys of Hades and of death as written in Revelation1. Let’s start at verse 13 and finish the chapter with verse 20:

and in the midst of the lampstands I saw someone [a]like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe reaching to His feet, and with a golden sash wrapped around His chest. 

 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [glistening white] like snow; and His [all-seeing] eyes were [flashing] like a flame of fire [piercing into my being]. 

His feet were like burnished [white-hot] bronze, refined in a furnace, and His voice was [powerful] like the sound of many waters. 

 In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword [of judgment]; and His face [reflecting His majesty and the [b]Shekinah glory] was like the sun shining in [all] its power [at midday].

 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last [absolute Deity, the Son of God], and the Ever-living One [living in and beyond all time and space].

 I died, but see, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of [absolute control and victory over] death and of Hades (the realm of the dead). 

 So write the things which you have seen [in the vision], and the thing which are [now happening], and the things ]which will take place after these things. 

 As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels ([f]divine messengers) of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Our Champion has the keys of our enemy death and Hades….. All balances are weighed in His hand and by His fiery eyes. He has the keys of His life and Death and Hades.

Remember the warning He spoke to us about in Matthew 10:28?:

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

We must be filled with our King and be known by Him…. Not found wanting or lacking Him…. I want to be found not having my own righteousness but His alone….

Our God’s kingdom is not to be confused with a higher retirement plan after our retirement plan has expired on this earth. He is not to be taken as a very convenient realm to expire to after our days are fulfilled on this earth.

If we do not pass His test on knowing His Son and His Son knowing us in that day. We will not pass go into the kingdom of our God….

The test is the humility we find at His bloody cross. The grace bestowed on us to

see Him and understand the cross of His sacrifice for you and me. Then we bow our knee

and crown Him: our Savior, Lord and King.

It is this simple….

Bow and kiss His Son,

His Son knows you?

Wearing His garments of choice and being filled with His seal of redemption of Holy Spirit are all His entry requirements for eternal Life…..

Be the member He has called you to be in His body.

After all, He holds all the keys…

He wrote the script by His blood.

He has all the rights for this is His Kingdom…..

The earth dwellers might have kicked Him out, but the earth is still His.

Our Lord God and King reigns.

We must watch and see who we are aligned with Death or Eternal Life…..

Our King has won the Highest Court and is reigning today.

He is the Only Door to walk through….

But it is a bloody path to His cross first…

There He will meet you in your repentence and His grace…..

Heart full of remorse and ready to be filled with His Spirit…..

This is the only way for those who are truly sorry and repentive of their breach from the God who loves them enough to create them and then come and redeem them.

When you say Rabbi? He turns and says to you, Come and see!

Now we come to the number four as this is the fourth horse and their riders  who were given authority over the earth to kill one fourth of the earth by four means: sword, hunger, death and the beasts of the earth….Rider is death and eternal destruction pointing to Hades follows him. 

So let’s start here on this……..

Little Person’s voice kept going like one who was a voice in the wilderness making straight the way of the Lord.

All hear the voice crying in the wilderness who is making straight the way of the Lord.

May they hear the voice and turn and see the lampstands with the Great King in their midst.

Then as the story comes to a close for the next door to open….. Hear the multitude shout and praise

the One who was and is in their midst and never left them and carryed them through all their days.

These multitude who see their God’s face and justice reign for He has fought their battle all their days.

The voice turned into multitudes praising and crying our: Alleluia to the King and our God.

As written in Revelation 19:

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:

“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
     for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
    who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

 And again they shouted:

“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:

“Amen, Hallelujah!”

 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,
you who fear him,
    both great and small!”

 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

“Hallelujah!
    For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

 Let us rejoice and be gladand give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
    and his bride has made herself ready.
 Fine linen, bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Worship God! 

For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”

 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 

His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 

 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 

 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.  On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

king of kings and lord of lords.

 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.”

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 

But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 

The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.  The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

More to come…. one the fourth seal….God is surely willing!

SELAH!

Junk Food OR His Bread? We Choose Daily….

So what is the next seal? Uri asked.

Little Person looked at her and asked, you still want to go further?  We have been here for over an hour. Is the time okay with your folks?

Uri smiled, I texted them on what we are studying…. They said to take copious notes because they want to know what you are getting too.

They both smiled and took a restroom break.

This time they asked for a couple of cups of coffee, lots of cream too, please.

They smiled at each other as they poured the cream into their coffee, it was more like cream with a little coffee.

Then they sought out the next seal in Revelation 6:5-6:

 When He (the Lamb) broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, “Come.”

 I looked, and behold, a black horse [of famine]; and the rider had in his hand a pair of scales (a balance). 

And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius (a day’s wages), and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not ]damage the oil and the wine.”

This seal is what I call the measure of the man, started Little Person….. We have the Son of Man as the perfection of God’s creation of man…..Adam was the first but was defiled by sin…. Now Jesus Christ took the reign forever for His perfect obedience unto to God and His great sacrifice of His life to give us life. There has been no one like Him before nor will there one like Him ever after.

He completed the tests of God with honors as written in Hebrews 5:5-10:

 So too Christ did not glorify Himself so as to be made a high priest, but He [was exalted and appointed by the One] who said to Him,

You are My Son,
Today I have begotten (fathered) You [declared Your authority and rule over the nations]”;

just as He also says in another place,

You are a priest [appointed] forever
According to the order of 
[a]Melchizedek.”

In the days of His earthly life, Jesus offered up both [specific] petitions and [urgent] supplications [for that which He needed] with fervent crying and tears to the One who was [always] able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission toward God [His sinlessness and His unfailing determination to do the Father’s will]. 

Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father], He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered.

 And having been made perfect [uniquely equipped and prepared as Savior and retaining His integrity amid opposition], He became the source of eternal salvation [an eternal inheritance] to all those who obey Him, being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of [b]Melchizedek.

Also it is written in Philippians 2:3-13:

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves. 

Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 

 Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility],  who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it];  but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. 

 After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,  so that at the name of Jesus [b]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

 So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. 

 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.

So we see how God looks at His Perfect Man, filled without measure is of Holy Spirit and laid down all of Himself to obey God….. He is far from any kind of famine except selfishness….He is lack in the self centeredness that plagues mankind….

God looks at famine different than we do…. He will allow a famine in the natural, but His great concern is there a  famine in our heart where He is to be?….Without Christ in us, we are living a famine life. We might have all the stuff anyone can desire in this world, but according to our God, we are naked and empty. Beyond this, our hope in our future life will be lost where there is weeping and the gnashing of teeth as our King states in the Gospels.

Our heart form abiding in Christ Jesus should be so full and overflowing with our King,… in Spirit and Truth…. As written in Hosea one sentence that I always check myself on …..Your fruit is found in Me…. As written in Hosea 14:8: Ephraim shall say, what I have to do with idols? I have heard and observed him, I am a green cypress tree: Your fruit is found in Me.

I cannot bear the fruit from myself which the Lord or our Heavenly Father is seeking. The fruit that They seek is the fruit of Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Jesus working or flowing through us…..  I allowing to be an open vessel for Him to do His work through is what I need to concern myself on.  An ear to hear and quick obedient heart. His work is His work…..He only can make the oranges….. I am the empty vessel for His sap to flow through.

Uri spoke up, I think I see what you are saying:….. bearing much fruit is sort of like bowing to Holy Spirit to complete His power in the direction He wants it to go…through us. We are the obedient vessel going where He says go and saying what He says to speak. Just as Jesus spoke in John 5 about Himself, right?

Yup, as Little Person agreed.  Then he went on with more scripture John 15:1-10.

I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 

 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit]. 

 You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]. 

 Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. 

]I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 

If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. 

 My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples. 

 I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. 

 If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

 As written in Ephesians 3:20-21: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever …..

Uri took abig breath and yelled>>> AMEN!

The people in the restaurant yelled back, AMEN!  They all laughed and smiled as Uri turned bright red.

Uri asked, okay, I got that the fruit we bear is actually His fruit…. He is the SAP which creates the fruit….. So scripture states He wants no harm to come to those who are actually bearing His fruit. Is this His wine and His Oil? 

Yes, agreed Little Person, as he continued : I need to back up here: remember the scripture we read in Zechariah on the curse written in the scroll…… and the house being built for ungodliness?…

Uri shook her head and said, yes,

Little Person continued, well, the chapter written before, chapter 4, in Zechariah reveals the plan of God; the release of the Promise from our Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit is released upon the earth.

See in Zechariah chapter 4: And the angel who was speaking with me came back and awakened me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep. 

 He said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl [for oil] on the top of it and its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it. 

 And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side [supplying it continuously with oil].” 

 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?” 

 Then the angel who was speaking with me answered me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 

Then he said to me, “This [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.

 ‘What are you, O great mountain [of obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who will rebuild the temple] you will become a plain (insignificant)!

And he will bring out the capstone [of the new temple] with loud shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

Now Zerubbabel is the symbol for our King Jesus Christ… as He stated in John 2: He would build His temple in three days, by His death and resurrection from the dead by the power of His Holy Spirit. Once this was accomplished by His resurrection, our Heavenly Father would send the Promise of His Spirit to dwell with us and in us to His followers.

As stated in Zechariah 4:10:For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, which scan to and fro the whole earth.

Now the plumbline is the measuring for building. So this plumbline or standard is our King and by His Spirit alone shall His temple or church be built…. Got that?

Uri said, Yes….Then she motioned with her hand to keep going…

Little Person continued:

Now we as His believers possess His Holy Spirit as He is in the world so are we…. Filled with Holy Spirit as His body….revealing the testimony of Jesus Christ to the world.

Holy Spirit within us is represented as the Oil…. As written in Matthew 25, the ten virgins who had their lamps ready and some not ready…. Well, actually five did not keep oil and the other five did.

The bridegroom came and the five who were prepared entered into the door to their rest…. The other five did not have the oil…..They went to the store to buy more, but as they returned…. Bad news happened……. The bridegroom said they could not enter for He did not know them.  He did not recognize His Spirit within them….and it was too late for them.

This is the same wake up alarm for the Laodicean church, they think they have it all, but in the eyes of the Lord they are wretched, miserable and poor and naked and blind….He also told them to go buy eye salve and new garments so they could see and be clothed with His Spirit alone of the rebirth from above.

As written in Proverbs 20:27: The Spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart.

The amplified version states :The spirit (conscience) of man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching and examining all the innermost parts of his being.

As written in Proverbs 21:2: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.

And verse 20 of the same Proverbs 21 states: There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it.

Holy Spirit wants to be overflowing in us. He is the Governor over our souls. We only go when He says go and say when He says speak….. He is the Oil in our hearts that will always be overflowing bringing His testimony of our King to all around.

Now people may or may not welcome His presence…. That is between them and our King, we are to bring His testimony, a light to the dark to all around us.

Holy Spirit is like our horses when we give them free reign…. They run like the wind just because they can…. Holy Spirit runs like the wind within our spirit to our soul to change and transform our souls in to His image…. .  Also will illumine those around us to the presence of our God is here.

Holy Spirit wants full leadership and no human can take His place… We have one Father. We have One Savior, Jesus Christ. We have One Lord or King Jesus Christ.  We have His Spirit within us, crowned Lord as bow into Him with love. One King alone lives and resides on the throne of our heart as well as the whole universe.

Okay, we got the understanding of the Oil and wine….. Now, let us look at the black horse, Okay?

Uri lifted her hands to show Little Person keep it rolling…..He continued:

The third seal, and third horse representing the number three points to the  Godhead….. We abide in the Son as His body. We are found complete in Him…. as written in Colossians.

But we as the body of Christ, the church, are the one new man, the fullness of the measure of the stature of a man in Christ…. As He is so are we to be in this earth.

He measures us all the time…. The test of the Lord is at anytime… Remember, how in Ezekiel, Zechariah, Abraham and in Revelation, men in different scriptures were told to measure in the Word?….

God tests the measure of His fullness in us, His building, regarding the knowledge of Him as this knowledge is to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea…

Our God is about His Word being fulfilled in us and on this earth…. The knowledge of His greatness and glory are to be covering this earth…. Right now, this job is fulfilled by our King’s body,…. His oil and wine, us, by only His Spirit. Shouts of grace, grace show the fruit is His released by us as a vessel.

There should be a huge distinction of whose family we belong too.  We are born from above.

The fruit as it is crushed into wine is our obedience even unto suffering. The grape has no say in when it will be smushed to make the wine….and aged….Hence, then matured in to His likeness…..

This is our God’s goal… He wants to see His Own Seed reproduced in great multiplication within every tongue, tribe and tongue. The Incorruptible Seed, His Beloved Son, now reproduced in us…by His blood shed on His cross. Also, by His resurrection,……. His temple is being rebuilt on Our Heavenly Father’s terms: by revelation of His Son Jesus Christ.

This is the symbolic meaning of the third or three….. Third day of creation, God created all to yield seed after thier own kind…. He is searching within our hearts for the Incorruptible Seed reproduced within us after His own Son, His own Kind.

The glory and knowledge of the Lord God Almighty will cover the earth and is covering the earth as the waters cover the sea as written.

This wine He is preserving here in the release of third seal is the work of  Holy Spirit within us.  Grace is known by His hand alone…… His way proves us as the fruit is crushed. Then a fragrant aroma is before our God revealing by us the testimony of His Son Jesus Christ to the heavens and throughout the earth.

As He is so are we in this world….. We walk the narrow road that leads to life….

People have a hang up with suffering…. I know Jesus Christ is our Healer…. He is our Redeemer…. He is our Deliverer…. But there is a cross that we carry bearing His reproach….As He said if they persecuted Me, Your Rabbi, they will also persecute you…..

We can read the Gospels on all those accounts He spoke of allowing us to know we will bear a cost for keeping close in our heart the Pearl of Great Price.

Luke 14:27: And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple, spoken by our King.

When our King searches the lands, He sees His glory or a famine.

Our God is light and life….If the world has not Jesus Christ, they are in famine, according to our God’s thought. His purpose is stopped through those that go against His will…

He does not desire any one person to perish… They though have the ability to choose Him or not.

God has set the rules. If anyone wants life and a resurrected life, must choose Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior and follow Him as their King….. This is His building plumbline.

Hence, those, without Jesus Christ abiding in them, are in death. They have chosen the world versus the Kingdom of God. So the inhabitants of the world are on death row.

We know the color black always represents death or the world in biblical symbolism. That is why the horse was the color black. The famine of the refusal of the finest Wheat ever offered to all is our King Jesus…. The world is in famine from Him….

This is how our God sees this result of the curse: they do not turn to see His voice of His Spirit….whispering to them from their beds, their cars, their rooftops, their despair, their broken hearts….

Their famine leads to death, unless they turn and see the voice calling them.

There could be famine in the world for food….. But I believe, famine is for those with out Christ…. Symbolically famine represents they are without Christ…Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life for every hungry soul that walks on this earth.

As it is written in Luke 4:4, man should not eat by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

As written in Amos 8:11-12: “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“When I will send hunger over the land,
Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the Lord.
“People shall stagger from sea to sea [to the very ends of the earth]
And from the north even to the east;
They will roam here and there to seek the word of the Lord [longing for it as essential for life],
But they will not find it.

The measure of what is in man, our God is searching as a lamp in our heart….. The finest wheat from heaven or the starvation from Heaven’s Bread and full on the dainties of the world.  His Light or darkness is known in our hearts and the fruit is seen in our homes and reflecting our lives by our God and King and His angels.

Now the instructions to the rider was to not harm the oil and the wine….. So this is not the voice of Satan, right?  Really now,…….. Satan would be the first to destroy His oil and His wine. Satan’s mode of operation is to kill, steal and destroy…. Preserving nothing good and holy is Satan’s delight.

Our God will protect His Oil and Wine…. He watches His vineyard carefully and diligently.

Right? Asked Little Person.

Uri agreed by shaking her head up and down….. She was busy taking notes on all that was being shown to her.  

The biggest question for us who believe is I think is this:………… Before our King’s eyes…..Lord, where do we stand having Your Oil and Your wine flowing from our heart for Your glory and fame?

After all, we only truly have an Audience of One…..

Father God, do You see Your Seed after Your own kind within us and shining before the world?  Are we standing through the surroundings of famine and death, revealing Your eternal strength of life and light?  Do we reveal Your strength of love keeping us in Your refuge for the world to see what Your Son is to us and how You keep us strong in Him? How You alone perform all things that concern us for those who believe and trust in You alone? Do we show how faithful You are to us and how You are always watching over Your Word to perform it?

Lord, do you see us looking at You as You search the world to and fro looking for who You can show Yourself strong on our behalf? Do You find faith on this earth in Your beloved?

His life should be so extravagantly shown through us….His Words are life and light and love…. There is no famine when we are partaking of our King by His Spirit.

Third seal- the Godhead is three and we are seeing the divine nature of our God working in and through us as written it should be in 2 Peter 1:2-11:

Grace and peace [that special sense of spiritual well-being] be multiplied to you in the [true, intimate] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 

 For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through [a]true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 

 For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature. 

 For this very reason, applying your diligence [to the divine promises, make every effort] in [exercising] your faith to, [b]develop moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge (insight, understanding), and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, steadfastness, and in your steadfastness, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly affection, and in your brotherly affection, [develop Christian] love [that is, learn to unselfishly seek the best for others and to do things for their benefit].

 For as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge and greater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 For whoever lacks these qualities is blind—shortsighted [closing his spiritual eyes to the truth], having become oblivious to the fact that he was cleansed from his old sins.

 Therefore, believers, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you [be sure that your behavior reflects and confirms your relationship with God]; for by [c]doing these things [actively developing these virtues], you will never stumble [in your spiritual growth and will live a life that leads others away from sin];for in this way entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly provided to you.

He will preserve His wine and oil for we are the testimony of Christ in this earth….during famine and trials of those in the world.

Uri speaking as she earnestly looked at Little Person, we have to finish the fourth seal before we leave…. Is that okay?  It will keep me up tonight trying to figure out what you were shown….Please…..?

He opened his mouth to say,………..

Some one heard a voice small though vibrant as if it was coming from the heavens above:

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;
 
Sing of the honor and glory and magnificence of His name;
Make His praise glorious.

 
Say to God, “How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You
.
 
“All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder],
And will sing praises to You;
They will praise Your name in song.” Selah.


Come and see the works of God,
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land;
They crossed through the river on foot;
There we rejoiced in Him.

 
Who rules by His might forever,
His eyes keep watch on the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
.

 
Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

Who keeps us among the living,
And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.

 
For You have tested us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.


You brought us into the net;
You laid a heavy burden [of servitude] on [a]us.
 
You made men (charioteers) ride over our heads [in defeat];
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a [broad] place of abundance [to be refreshed].


I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I shall pay You my vows,


Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke as a promise when I was in distress.

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs,
With the [sweet] smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.

Come and hear, all you fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul.

I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.

If I regard sin and baseness in my heart [that is, if I know it is there and do nothing about it],
The Lord will not hear [me];

 
But certainly God has heard [me];
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.


Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me
, ( Psalm 66).

All in the restaurant was quiet.

Selah!

More to come, God is willing!

He Who Lives By The Sword, Dies By The Sword…

Hmm, who said this statement? Wondered some…. who had not known the King of all. When their lives were in shambles because they pursued violent acts instead of peace. Nor did they hear His Word speaking softly to them: Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy…… I, Jesus Christ, have come to give My life – life abundantly to you……

You are turning away My peace and rest….

Let Satan go and grab hold of I AM.

Come and be redeemed by My blood that will end your bloodshed.

Come to My cross and know the sins I AM have taken upon Me for you….

You then will be made clean…..Peace shall be yours and the sword will be only in My hand as I AM alone takes vengeance on all who use violent acts against I AM’s creation.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back in its place; for all those who habitually draw the sword will die by the sword. ( Matthew 26:52).

As also stated in Revelation 13:10: He who leads into captivity; shall go into captivity; he who kills by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Again I looked up, and I saw a scroll flying in the air! 

 And the angel said to me, “What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits (thirty feet) and its width is ten cubits (fifteen feet).”  Then he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of the whole land; for everyone who steals will be cut off according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears [oaths falsely] shall be cut off according to the writing on the other side. 

 I will send the curse out,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night in that house and consume it, both its timber and its stones.”

 Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and said to me, “Now look up and see what this is going forth.” 

 And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ephah (grain basket) going forth. This,” he continued, “is their appearance throughout the land  (and behold, a [round, flat] lead cover was lifted up); and there sat a woman inside the ephah.”  

Then he said, “This is Wickedness (Godlessness)!” And he threw her back down into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead cover on its opening. 

 Then I looked up, and there were two women coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. 

 I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” 

 And he said to me, “To the land of Shinar (Babylon) to build a temple for her; and when it is prepared, she shall be set there on her own pedestal.” (Zechariah 5).

SELAH!

Now Little Person went on to tell Uri of what he learned on the second living creature showing John to come and see in Revelation 6 verse 3:

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

I kept asking Holy Spirit on this over and over again…. I needed more scriptures to confirm…. Jesus Christ is the Servant of all…. The second living creature revealing the calf,…. Servant…… Then the number two is to be set apart or division…. As we are set apart unto God and we have been divided from the world.

As written we have Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

 The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

And Galatians 6:14: But far be it from me to boast [in anything or anyone], except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

 For neither is circumcision anything [of any importance], nor uncircumcision, but [only] a new creation [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus].

Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and conduct their lives by this principle], and upon the [true] Israel of God (Jewish believers).

Romans 12: 1-2: Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.

And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Now the parallel scripture that I received from Holy Spirit was in Isaiah 53:7-12: The Great Suffering Servant, Jesus Christ: and we are as He is in this world, right….? So He is the Servant of all and now we are servants and sons and daughters and friends to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by His Spirit…. However,this is the scripture showing what He has taken for us….Then called us into His place.

If people of the world do not turn to Him and receive His sacrifice for them, they will see live the curse that was meant for mankind from the beginning of the fall of mankind.  Death started to reign when Adam sinned against God… Death started it’s march into the heart of every person born on this earth. If they refuse the grace of God through the sacrifice of His Beloved Son…. Woe to them is all I got to say……  I do not know why they would refuse Him but there are many who do as written…… Let’s read the Isaiah about our King: 

 He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.

 I think the scripture shown to us by the second living creature reveals what is happening to those who reject the greatest Servant of all….Jesus Christ took all our sins and transgressions on Himself so we may die spiritually with Him and then live in and by Him in His new creation…..Also at the end of this age, we will rise in our resurrected body before Him….Being born from above is the only way to be resurrected with and in and by Him.

Sort of like Noah and his family were transported from the flood in safety by God Himself telling Noah to make the ark…. Now the ark of the New Covenant is Jesus Christ in where we abide and have refuge.

Remember in Galatians 3:10-14:  For all who depend on the Law [seeking justification and salvation by obedience to the Law and the observance of rituals] are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed (condemned to destruction) is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, so as to practice them.” 

 Now it is clear that no one is justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing] before God by the Law, for “The righteous (the just, the upright) shall live by faith.” 

 But the Law does not rest on or require faith [it has nothing to do with faith], but [instead, the Law] says, “He who practices them [the things prescribed by the Law] shall live by them [instead of faith].” 

 Christ purchased our freedom and redeemed us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”

—  in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit through faith.

We have refuge in His death in which He took our death on Him and in His resurrection life, we now abide and live from His life. As written in 1 John 5:6-12:

 This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 

For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.  

We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.

Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. 

Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 

 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

But to those who reject God’s redemption plan, which are the ones who still have the veil of unbelief covering their eyes in the world,….as Jesus prayed in John 17:6-11:

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 

 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 

For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 

 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. 

 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. 

 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.

It is quite obvious by our King’s request of His love and protection He reflects from His heart for keeping His own close to Him even though they are in hostile territory.

But He also spoke He does not pray for the world…..Just for those He has chosen since the foundation of the world….. We do not know who they are so our instructions are to tell everyone of Jesus Christ…..However, He is not a get out of hell card given and get a stamped ticket to heaven. He will know us if we have been in fellowship with Him and by the measure of His likeness within us. Born of heaven and filled with His Spirit.

He wants relationship…. Then we come back to being born again so we may worship in Spirit and Truth….. This also brings us to our need to baptized in fire and His Spirit…..

We need His Spirit to understand and receive all He is showing us…. How can we worship in Spirit if we do not have or acknowledge Him within us….? How can we worship in Truth if we never digest and know His Word which is written?

No wonder there are so many deceptions out there….. Study the Truth and the Truth will set you free…..The Lord Jesus is truth…. and as written in John: He who the Son sets free is free indeeed. His hand and guidance will always be of Truth and peace….If we call our selves by name a Christian but never partake of our King, we are deceiving ourselves. Jesus Christ with eyes of fire will never be deceived but will burn through the false life we are portraying…

Know Him and love Him and if we do not love Him, we do not know Him.

He is our Sword of Justice cutting apart the dark cords of deception and lies thrown at us all the time and in His light we see light: the truth is boldly shining forth as the noon day sun….…..

But now, let’s get back to the second living creature showing us the second rider who has a sword and is allowed to remove peace from the earth and there shall be killings…..

As our King spoke to us in John again in 16:33:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.

 It is abundantly clear that in the world there is always chaos because the prince of darkness rules the air….

As written in 2 Corinthians 4:4:

in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

And in Ephesians 2:2: As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

These scriptures show the release of the curse that are promised to those who turn their backs to God and His Son Jesus Christ…..Actually, they have been present since Israel left Egypt… Our God promised if people did not obey His Word, the curses that were on Egypt because Pharoah refused to allow His people to leave, would also fall on all who did not obey……Thus, sons of disobedience are then called.

They will reap what they sow as written in Galatians, well, we all will as written….

Galatians 6:7-8 exhorts all: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. 

 For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Uri spoke up…. Hey, I remember reading in Revelation those who use the sword to kill will be killed in like manner… Wait …… I’ll find it:  Here it is Revelation 13:10:

 If anyone is destined for captivity, he will go into captivity; if anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is [the call for] the patient endurance and the faithfulness of the saints [which is seen in the response of God’s people to difficult times].

Good find, said Little Person. So you see the double edge sword to the Salvation of Jesus Christ….. He cuts us to the marrow in His truth and will cut darkness away to those who refuse Him and continue in their rebellion.

Uri said, Yes, I do see His sovereign way. He set the play. He set the rules and those who chose their side of light or darkness will reap what they sow.

He alone keeps His chosen wheat in His barn and allows the chaff to blow away in the wind. Or what is not of Him will burn with everlasting fire…..as Jesus Himself spoke of in many gospel accounts. Did you know Jesus spoke more of the place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth than He spoke of His kingdom? He is warning all the time to those who have ears to hear and turn to see the voice that whispers.

So that is what I have found so far on the second seal.  What do you think? asked Little Person as he shoved a handful of chili fries in to his mouth….

Uri spoke, I do see what you are seeing.  I agree if we agree to accept God’s Servant who sacrificed His all for us…..We then choose life and receive His peace. If we turn our back on Him and stay under the sway of Satan,….. the lives of those will be filled with hate, unrest….

Just as it is written, there is no peace for the wicked….. Literally in their heart, there will be no peace and in their lives, chaos will pursue them.

Then Uri joined him in eating a couple of the fries… She grimaced for they had turn cold. Yuck, she thought.

Little Person said, exactly!….. God is God and there is no other. God is good also, but He is not tame!

They both smiled at each other remembering a favorite movie of theirs.

Uri said, You got that right. Look- there is no middle ground with God… You are either with Him or against Him…..There is no lukewarm, if that is found in anyone with His name on them…. It is written, He will spew them from their mouth.

Uri smiled, like what I wanted to do with those fries, but I did not…..I just put them in my napkin. They are gross when they are cold…I guess, that is what He sees when we come to Him saying our heart is with you and yet, our actions are far away, and some people are very, very far away.

Little Person said, just add some salt. Jesus spoke to us not to lose our flavor or salt and fire to our lives sacrifice to Him… That way we stay hot like the chili and our heart is soft towards Him like the fries.

Uri grimaced and shook her head no…. Nice analogy, but that is gross referring to the fries… The cheese is even hard from being so cold…..She sighed……

So what is the next seal? Uri asked.

SELAH!!

More To Come: God is willing!
