This is the Way - Walk Ye in It
And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth (humility), and worshipped. And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my
Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is
a stiffnecked (stubborn) people; and
pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.
And He said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will
do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and
all the people among which you are shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do
with thee. [Ex
34:8-10]
[Note*
- The Lord will prove (try) us to see if we will turn to other gods or keep the
ways of the Lord. BP]
Thursday, March 5, 2015 – 1:44 pm (Yesterday, I pondered the
time and reflected upon the book of Revelation, a book that promises a blessing to those who hear and read the words of prophecy in that book.)
* * * * * * * *
(Note* - Yhvh (my God and Lord) begins with a personal (private)
word to me. However, I release that which He has led me to share, for His glory
alone.)
* * * * * * * *
Much is happening, both in the spiritual and
physical realms. Do you hear the sound
of the shofar (trumpet?) It is a warning and a call to assemble. My people are
to come humbly into My presence and wait upon Me.
You have heard Me speak through many vessels,
instructing you to read My Word and to abide in Me, to enter into the holy of
holies with clean hands and a pure heart.
Indeed, I say to you to cleave to Me and “keep” My Word; to walk
therein, for My Word is forever settled in heaven. It is your hope (Christ in you); it upholds
you.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Your word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let
me not wander from Your commandments. Your
word have I hid in my
heart, that I might not sin against thee. [Ps 119:9-11]
That He (Jesus/Y’shua)
might sanctify and cleanse it (ekklesia)
with the washing of water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious ekklesia, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such
thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. [Eph 5:26, 27]
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living
God? [Heb 9:14]
My Word goes forth out of My mouth. It never
returns void; it accomplishes My desire and prospers in that which I sent it to
(see Isaiah 55:11). I have prepared and
am preparing My people.
Fear not! As I forewarned, the strongest clash of
the kingdoms such as never before approaches; so also do the miracles. The
signs are all around for those who have eyes to see the prophecies that are fulfilled
and are being fulfilled, which were given by My prophets of old. That which was written shall be, for indeed,
My Word does not return void.
I also foretold of miracles taking place. Down through the ages, I have (and continue)
to perform My miracles. Yea, yet I say
to you that miracles, the like of which have never been seen before and are
unknown to this age shall happen.
Indeed, they have already begun, but they shall
increase at an exponential pace. They shall run almost parallel to great
calamities (horrific events), with miracles (and reports) appearing first.
My people must be walking holy upon that highway of holiness, abiding in Me and I in them,
filled with My Spirit. My Word is engraved
upon their hearts. They stand upon it
and speak it forth, for this is their greatest weapon.
Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. [Prov 18:21]
For the word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart. [Heb 4:12] And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [Eph 6:17]
I speak to you of harder truths that not all
will speak forth, even though I have requested that they do, for they love the
praise (approval) of men more than My praise. [Jn 12:43] You must be holy as I AM holy [1Pet 1:16]
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we
lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. [1Jn 1:6-10]
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing
of the Holy Spirit; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [Titus
3:5,6]
Do not think that you cannot be deceived, for
that in itself is deception. It is
written: For false Christs and false
prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. [Mk
13:23 – Jesus warns]
Be truthful in admitting that you could, at any
time, be (and have been) wrong and that you do not have all-wisdom and
all-knowledge. Do not rely on yourself
or others. Know, keep and do My Word. Lean
on Me alone (trust) and not your own understanding. As you acknowledge Me, cleave to and wait upon Me, I shall direct your steps.
And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven
on the earth in the sight of men, And deceives
them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles
which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell
on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound
by a sword, and did live. [Rev 13:13, 14]
And I saw three unclean spirits (devils)
like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the
beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which
go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [Rev 16:14]
Abiding in My Son, grounded in My Word and
empowered by My Holy Spirit – this, you lovers of truth, is the way to truly
discern between the miracles produced by the beast and the spirits of devils
(Satan and his hordes) and those miracles brought forth by My hand, My power,
through My Spirit.
I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but
by Me. [Jn14:6 – Jesus/Y’shua]
Great shall be the deception upon the earth. It
has begun. Take heed and be doers of My
Word. Obedience is also key, even if you obey with a trembling heart (as
Abraham), or even when you do not understand (as Joseph, as Daniel), and even when all
hell comes against you (as with Job or as with My Son Jesus (Y’shua)].
You must have faith as those who went before you,
believing Me for the impossible (as Moses and the Red Sea; as Joshua and
Jericho). You must trust that I will
perform that which I have promised (as Gideon and his army of three hundred; as
the apostles after My Son’s ascension).
Those walking with Me shall be the instruments
(vessels) through which I shall (and do) perform My miracles.
[my prayer
– BP: O Lord, let us not touch Your
glory, for you o LORD are our shield, our glory and the lifter of our heads.
Let us remember Father that it is not our works, so that no man should glory in
the miracle or say that any ‘idol’ (any one or any thing) did it, for You will
not share Your glory with any ‘idol’.)
Do not concern yourself with times and
dates. Know that I do all things well
(yes, even things not understood upon this earth). My timing is perfect. In mankind’s eyes, there is no ‘perfect
timing’ for trials or tribulations (chaos). Nevertheless, what has been prophesied of
from days of old shall be. I am not a man
that I should lie.
My people, of which there is a holy remnant are
prepared and preparing for such as these walk with Me in obedience as I guide
their steps.
Do not try to know every detail for man’s hunger
and thirst, for knowledge began in the Garden of Eden. Rather, cleave to Me with faith and trust
fully confident that I go before you, shining light upon the right path – even step
by step.
(These things shall be…) not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit…(saith the LORD of hosts). [Zech 4:6]
Hear the sound of the trumpet (shofar) [warning]! Take heed and wait upon Me, your King of
kings and Lord of lords. Walk in humility and love. Selah
Then
shall we know, if we follow on
to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come
unto us as the rain, as the latter and
former rain unto the earth. [Hos 6:3]
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God (Yhwh). [Mat 5:8]
for His glory alone

No Greater Love - Jesus the Messiah
The LORD is
my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habitation; my father's
God, and I will exalt Him. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is His name. [Ex 15:2, 3]
Greater love hath no
man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [Jn
15:13]
There is so
much I long to share that I barely know where to start. I have
a message that is burning deep within me, and intensifies the more I am in
prayer. It will not be any new
revelation or message and undoubtedly, vessels far more worthy have been chosen
by the LORD to speak it forth before me (whether in part or in whole).
Be that as
it may, there is a reason He made me a living example of the message that I
plan to pour out from my heart’s core. We are all living examples, are we not? Ah, but will our example be unto His honour and
glory or unto our own glory which would ultimately be to our shame?
Jesus Christ (my Y’shua Ha’Mashiach) – glorious Saviour – who came in the flesh and
comes in the flesh when we turn from our sinful (wicked) ways (genuine
repentance) and surrender all to Him.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit
that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every
spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is
it in the world. [1 Jn 4:2,3]
Step
by step, from glory to glory…
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same
image from glory to glory, even
as by the Spirit of the Lord. [2Cor 3:17, 18]
Yes and
when we surrender to His will, we must trust Him in all the ways
He leads and in all that He allows, even when we do not understand at the time
(or even if we never understand in this life).
No one is saying it is easy.
Flesh and
every enemy of the cross will fight us, but it is the only way to stay upon the
narrow path and enter in through the strait gate.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of
God, and ye are not your own?
[1Cor 6:19]
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the
gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [Mat 7:13, 14 – words of Jesus/Y’shua]
Though I
would never have chosen to stay in homeless shelters for what seemed like a
very long four and a half months (four months, nine days), I now understand and
am so grateful to our Sovereign God – astounding in wisdom, overwhelming in love
and ways, trustworthy and honourable in His moulding (shaping, engraving),
correction and discipline (preparation).
Brilliant
(magnificent) and majestic (exalted) King and Lord Jesus. So great is His mercy and grace that the true disciples
that love Him only become more desperate to go deeper in Him, to abide in Him as
He also abides in them.
We love Him because He
first loved us. [1Jn 4:19]
How great
is your love for Him? How sincere, how
loyal, how faithful – how desperate are you really for Him? When He draws you unto Himself (woos you), do
you find that you cannot resist His lovingkindness? Have you gone beyond lip service and walk in
heart service? Ponder carefully – allow His
precious Spirit to search deep within?
He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias (Isaiah)
prophesied
of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far
from Me. [Mk 7:6]
Great is
His love – it is not His desire that any should perish, but that all come to
repentance. [2Pet 3:9] Do you seek truth, I mean really seek truth,
including the truth He reveals about uncleanness, sinfulness or wrongdoing
(even unforgiveness) hidden deep within us?
It won’t be pretty, but it is all part of the purifying and
sanctification (purging).
Those who
seek truth will respond to His revealing with genuine repentance and
surrender. If He reveals any idol in
your heart (even if you did not realize it was an idol), are you willing to destroy
it, repent and love the One True God with all your heart, all your soul, all
your might and serve only Him?
When we
surrender (sometimes step by trembling step), there is a persistent and
unyielding (unwavering) hope in Him, a willingness to pick up the cross daily
(even at the risk of stumbling as onlookers observe), to be purged (cleansed, purified)
and made holy (set apart, God-fearing, consecrated) as He is holy, clothed in His
pure and lovely righteousness – desiring to walk the ancient paths, the highway
of holiness.
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it;
but it shall be for those: the
wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found
there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
[Isaiah 35:8]
The
precious blood of Jesus (Y’shua) is the seal of the new covenant God
made with us. Christ is the only way back
to our Creator – through Him is forgiveness and His mercy endures
forever to those who cry out, believing and receiving His grace. So great is the love of God that Jesus became
a living sacrifice, without spot or blemish – the perfect Lamb.
But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His
name: [Jn 1:12]
One Journey Ends – Another Begins
About four weeks ago, the LORD provided
a room for me to rent, thus putting an end to the long journey from
Georgia. I understand that it is a
stepping stone, a temporary abode or lodging, but I am so happy, so grateful to
finally be out of the shelters.
It was only at the end of that journey
that the Lord really began to give me understanding. What an amazing journey! I will not pretend it was easy or even that I
did not desire deliverance from the situation in overwhelming times.
Aching bones and a pained body from the
six days of travelling by bus was only the beginning, as the entire four and a
half months of homelessness I fought pneumonia, even up to two weeks after
securing and living in the rented room.
How grateful I am to be healed, yet it
is a recuperation time I reckon, as there have been certain days that I rest
nearly the entire day and night. It is
my hope to have all emails answered in the next day or two. Thank you all for your prayers, support, encouragement,
but mostly your prayers – which are as liquid gold to me, most precious and of
greatest value.
It was only during this past week that
another renter got wireless internet and generously allows me to use it at no
charge. Praise God!
It has also been a time of much deep prayer
and waiting on the Lord. I had planned to do a radio program, but it has been
impressed upon me that it will be a small series. We are in a serious and crucial time in
history.
The LORD is speaking through many
vessels; howbeit, the long months of homelessness, which I did not understand
fully at the time now makes perfect sense.
Our King and Lord is speaking – have ears to hear and eyes to see.
For in
those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the
creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
And except that the Lord had shortened those
days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened the days. [Mk
13:19, 20 – words of Jesus/Y’shua]
And they that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal
the book, even to the time of
the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. [Dan 12:3, 4]
We see prophecies fulfilled and being fulfilled at
a bewildering pace and amazing accuracy, but we should not be concerned with “how long do we have”, but more concerned
with getting our house (hearts) in order, so that we can stand clothed in the
righteousness of Christ before a holy God.
Remember, all ten virgins awaited the Bridegroom,
but only five were wise – the others slept.
Remember the apostles at the Garden of Gethsemane; they fell asleep
instead of praying, unaware that the Lord would soon be arrested and put to
death.
Let us not be found sleeping! Let us not ignore the message that He is
uttering through whomsoever He chooses. Let
us not resist what He is revealing in us or fear the work He is doing in us at
this time (yes, all of us – be aware!)
Rather fear God and truly mean it when you say: “…Thy will be done”
(obedience).
For we know Him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto Me, I will recompense,
saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
living God.
For the time is come that judgment
must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the
end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [Heb 10:30, 31 – 1Pet 4:17]
I will be sending out the links to the radio
series next week, as led. If you are not
on the mailing list and would like to receive the links, please email me at the
address below.
Great is His love!
I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise
Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth: for You
have magnified Thy word above all Thy name.
And the Word
(Jesus/Y’shua) became flesh, and dwelt
among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from
the Father), full of grace and truth. [Ps 138:2 – Jn 1:14]
for His glory alone
