The fourth day is our walk, like the guys walking to Emmaus, they were questioning everything because they did not understand. Why? We need our King to have our eyes opened to understand the Scriptures. Littlestone thought undrstanding is needed for our times in which we now live.
He thought does his own generation know that those nations who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed as written in Genesis 12:3……This word is from the Beginning. Does this generation know who Israel is and Whom she brought forth?
He though how important it is to know the Scriptures but, …..we also need……..Holy Spirit.
Luke 24:13-16:
Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.
So Holy Spirit can reveal our King to us or withhold our sight from seeing…..
However, if we have called Him our Lord and King, we have in our spirit within us. Then His Spirit will confirm His Words and His presence…..as written in Luke 24:32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
The question is, if we do not study and know His Word, how will we know He is confirming His Word to us….How will know when and what to do or expect?
Study His Word and know our King, the Word of God…
Our King revealed Himself to them by opening their eyes as written in verse 31 of the same chapter: When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
Then our King appeared to His frightened crew and showed them that He ate just as they did….He is the Resurrected King….He revealed Himself as their Messiah and their King…..because….verses 44-49 speak:
He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
Holy Spirit is the Revelator of His Word…..He is the greatest Promise next to the Messiah coming to deliver and redeem us from death and hell…..Holy Spirit brings us out of the mind of the death realm into our God, the Father’s realm……We learn to have the mind of Christ which is written in Corinthians book.
If we do not have our mind illuminated by God Himself, by His Spirit, the scriptures are not going to make any sense to us.
Holy Spirit gave us these scriptured to know how to pray by Ephesians 1:17-23:
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[ of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
We will get what we seek after…..whether our desire is for Him or for the world….
Our vision will be filled…..
Our responsibility now that we call our King – Lord….is to put all our purpose as His.
The plots of the enemies of God will fall into the pit that they have planned for those who follow our God and Lord.
The way to know this is by having the Word of God opened up to us to understand and wait.
Prayer is the way of communing with our God…..He keeps us informed on the goings on in His Kingdom and the ones who are His enemy.
Littlestone was writing all his thoughts down to help explain the importance to put God first. This is loving Him….Loving Him. He gave us His mind. The cross of Jesus Christ hits our hearts. We cannot but love Him….This love results in us opening His Word as a meal and allowing Him to speak to us all He desires. How often do you eat a meal? How often do you spend time with Him in Word and prayer?
Prayer is supplication but it also fellowship……No wife or husband will get far with only supplications and not enjoying each other’s company….. God knows our hearts, and understands…….But He also knows our desire is for Him or not.
As the world continues to shake and bake, we know why and share the thoughts of God to all.
Preparation for His arrival and judgments are essential for a steady diligent walk in and from His grace. We who call on His name will be refined by the adversity and fire…..but He is with us…..He always says thank you. We then will be trained to lead others through His ways.
Littlestone was sitting on the large rock looking over the flowing river…..It was smaller than when the spring arrived, but it was still flowing. He heard the praise of her waters singing up to her God, the Creator.
The sky was blue and the sun was rising and the heat increasing. The rain would fall it seemed when the one who could help – did. The oppressor seemed to halt his works….
Then when the one who could help stopped, so did the rain.
As written in Proverbs 3:22-35:
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion;
they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
for the Lord will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.
Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
Do noot accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways
For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.
Littlestone was noting it is sin for a person, or nation not to step in to do good when oppression is running rapid through the world.
One day the sound will echo out:….Babylon has fallen….Babylon has fallen….
God’s enemy found in Babylon, spiritual land and found also in the natural, has fallen.…..
Meanwhile, He also alerts His children to leave the corruption now…..Keep the doors closed until the destruction is over….
Littlestone noted it is written in Isaiah and Revelation……. HMMMMM………What was, will be again and now is.
It is also written n Revelation 13: 1-9
The dragon[ stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
Littlestone smiled because this is not the end of the story. Our God allows the proud to rise their head boldly before He brings down the proud and exalts the humble.
Littlestone made notes on Revelation chapter 15:1-4:
I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed.
And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God
and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:
“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.[a]
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory to your name
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
The time now more than ever is the need to draw close to God and allow His mouth to draw close to your ears.
The purpose of His calling each and everyone one of us has been in His plan before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 3:14-21:
For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
If men are questioning who is like the beast and who is able to make war with him? We who call on His name now the ANSWER—- God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ…. and all His saints that follow Him on white horses….. Ready to ride? Let’s fly with our King! Now and when His Day approaches….We fly everytime we come before Him. We arrive up there…..We are seated in heavenly places with Him, right? So let’s ride to the heights of His love and soar below and find He is there protecting us by His love…..We can circle our flight east to the west and will never end flying on His love….Let’s ride to fly….We are found then beyond the fence of tradition and religion…We fly on Him and Him alone. The power that works exceedlingly abunbdantly beyond our thoughts or imaginations is ours, if you dare to choose to take this adventure out of the pew and into His image.
Stay tuned, all will see and get their questiones answered. However, God has used men to be His hammer and ruler of judgment throughout all of HIS story. Those who can should ……and listen. He will back any nation that He has called….Read His Story and see! Just believe and all will see His glory.
Pray that all would come to the saving knowledge of the One was wrote the Scriptures. The One who was before time and wrote them according to His purpose and His glory…..Who can stop the Lord God Almighty?
Littlestone was use to everyone correcting this on him or saying this against him or saying things of greater matter regarding him…..They fell to the floor of His feet. His call was to sit at His feet because He had chosen the needful thing….This in itself was upsetting to a lot of folk but the friends at His Diner loved when he came in with his ears red…..They knew he was getting food for them from on high….. They grabbed their coffee and their place in their booth and waited….Come winter, spring, summer or fall,…God was faithful to this little group of people who had ears to hear and heard to believe all that He has planned for them to be…..They praised Him and lived in preparedness for His coming arrival…..They wanted to be found with His garments on them and faces glowing from His presence in and with them…..They wanted and desperately sought His face in all matters so when He approached they knew it was Him,…. Him alone. More important than that, they wanted Him to know them…..
His fragrance of myrrh and cassia was flying as heavy air from above joined the aroma of the never ending cup of joe that permiated the little diner filled with hearts anticipating their King and what He had to say……
Many would cheer and say….Yes, yes, I got that too last night studying or praying…..Everyone rest assured that out the mouth of two or more witnesses that the word is established at written.
Do not fear.
Come to Him now!
Come see His smile and know His warm embrace.
He is waiting for you.
His love never fails…..
The only One who knows the End from the Beginning because He is…..Alpha and Omega. He is the Word of God….. Our King of all kings and Lord of all lords reigns and rules the nations…..He asks us to join Him in prayer and fellowship……This is our class of learning to rule and reign in His righteousness now. He has always ruled in the affairs of men.
You coming up? There is room at the table for you……Caution, you may be excluded from other tables now because you sit with the King, for His name’s sake…..Who cares, right? Let’s fly!!!
Amen!!!!
SELAH!
