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!!
