Friday, July 11,
2014, 6:28 a.m. – the Lord Jesus put the song in mind, “I Do Not Seal My Lips.” Speak, Lord, for your servant is
listening. I read Isaiah 52:1-12
(NIV).
Clothe Yourselves
Awake,
awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength!
Put
on your garments of splendor,
Jerusalem, the holy city.
The
uncircumcised and defiled
will not enter you again.
Shake
off your dust;
rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free
yourself from the chains on your neck,
Daughter Zion, now a captive.
For
this is what the Lord says:
“You
were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed.”
Zion and the Holy City today are not found in physical
Israel, for they are not physical places. We, the true church of Jesus Christ,
his Body, are Zion; the Holy City; the heavenly Jerusalem. And, we exist all
over the world.
Much of the church today throughout the world, perhaps, or
else particular mainly to America, has fallen into a state of complacency,
lukewarmness, spiritual adultery and/or idolatry. She has allowed herself to be
brought under a yoke of slavery to sin once again, even though Jesus Christ set
her free! He redeemed us by his blood. Yet, she has gained nothing from her
adultery and her idolatry other than a burden of sin and rebellion and a
breaking of fellowship with her Lord. She is not at peace. She can’t be. So,
God is calling her to wake up! He is calling her to clothe herself with the
strength of the Lord, and to put on garments of righteousness in place of her
shamefulness. He is calling her to repent of (turn from) her sins and to return
to her Lord, so that what is defiled will never enter her again, but that she
will take her true place as the daughter of the King of kings!
All for Nothing
For
this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“At
first my people went down to Egypt to live;
lately, Assyria has oppressed them.
“And
now what do I have here?” declares the Lord.
“For
my people have been taken away for nothing,
and those who rule them mock,”
declares
the Lord.
“And
all day long
my name is constantly blasphemed.
Therefore
my people will know my name;
therefore in that day they will know
that
it is I who foretold it.
Yes, it is I.”
Christians throughout the world are being persecuted for
their faith in Jesus Christ. I believe this is a judgment of God on his
adulterous and his idolatrous church, but not to destroy her, but to revive
her, and to bring her back into fellowship with Him, as well as to ignite
within her a passion for the lost and a desire to share the gospel of Jesus
Christ, despite strong opposition and even death threats. The church, at least
I know of in America, has become followers of humans over and above being
followers of Christ; and followers of humanistic philosophy and man-made
religion over and above being adherents to the Word of God (of Truth). Mankind
(flesh) is her “Egypt,” on which she is or has been depending in place of her
dependence only in the Lord Jesus. So, the Lord is bringing her back to Him.
The church throughout the world presently is undergoing
tremendous suffering at the hand of her “Assyria,” which is oppressing her. I
believe with all my heart that the Lord Jesus has been showing me for the past
8 years, by his Spirit, who this “Assyria” is in this present day, which is
oppressing his children. They are the United States of America, her allies, NATO
and the United Nations – all comprising the New World Order (Beast).
Today the Lord Jesus led me to read a news article about an
election dispute taking place in Afghanistan. See: http://www.voanews.com/content/kerry-hopes-solution-can-be-found-afghan-vote-dispute/1955292.html.
What the Lord Jesus has taught me these past 8 years is that most of what we
read and hear in the news today is made up lies and dramatizations, and all for
show. We have to stop believing what we hear and read in the news! Most all of
it is fake! We need to wake up and see this! If we follow the news prayerfully,
willing to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches, our Lord will open
our ears and minds to hear the truth about what is really going on in the
world, and it is not what our government and news media is telling us, either. I
have been following the news in this manner these past 8 years, and I can tell
you the M.O. (the standard or usual operating procedure or way of doing things)
in most of these various nations and national situations by heart now, because
they all pretty much follow the same script. So, here is what I believe the
Lord is showing me today:
The US/N.W.O. produced the high number of votes for Ghani in
the Afghanistan election so that the U.S./N.W.O. would have an excuse to go
into Afghanistan to solve the issue of the disputed election. In other words,
the purpose of the election was to bring about a dispute so that we (the U.S./N.W.O.)
could help resolve the problem. Actually, Karzai, Ghani and Abdullah are all byproducts
(children) of the U.S./N.W.O. The US/N.W.O. is supposedly there to encourage
the review of the elections, i.e. to see if there is, indeed, election fraud, but
we are there under false pretenses.
In other words, the people doing the review of the election
results are the same people committing the fraud, i.e. they are the
U.S./U.N./N.W.O. So, there is not integrity or legitimacy in the elections in
Afghanistan or perhaps anywhere anymore. They are rigged to suit the purposes
of the N.W.O. in order to bring in the government they choose, which is a unity
government with the N.W.O. “Beast.” We are the present government, the new
government, and we are the protestors of the elections, too. We rigged the
elections. The only political settlement that will take place in Afghanistan is
to continue with the U.S./N.W.O. in charge and the people of Afghanistan forced
into unity with the N.W.O. “Beast.” Yet, this is God’s plan for bringing his
children back to him.
How Beautiful!
How
beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who
proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who
say to Zion,
“Your
God reigns!”
Listen!
Your watchmen lift up their voices;
together they shout for joy.
When
the Lord returns to Zion,
they will see it with their own eyes.
Burst
into songs of joy together,
you ruins of Jerusalem,
for
the Lord has comforted his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
The
Lord will lay bare his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations,
and
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.
So many people think of “good news” as only what suits their
purposes or which satisfies their fleshly appetites and desires, i.e. what
makes them feel good or what works out the way they hope. So many teach God’s
grace in this same way, giving a message that pleases the ears of those who
listen, which makes them feel good, which appeals to human flesh, and which
does not make people feel badly about their sin. This is a false grace which
gives its adherents a free license to continue in willful sin without guilt.
And, believe me, that is not GOOD NEWS! It may feel good at the time, but there
is nothing good about it, for it leaves its followers still in their sin, bound
in slavery, and without hope of eternity with God.
The GOOD NEWS of God’s grace teaches us to say “NO!” to
ungodliness and worldly passions and to lives self-controlled and upright lives
while we wait for our Lord’s return. It teaches us that coming to Christ means
dying to our sin, being metamorphosed of the Spirit of Almighty God, and living
and walking in Christ’s righteousness and holiness in the power and working of
the Spirit within us. It also teaches us that Jesus Christ died so that we
would no longer live for ourselves, but for him who gave himself up for us. Is
this what you have been taught? If not, you have not been given the “Good News”
of salvation. The only way it can be good news is if the message brings with it
the power of God in deliverance from sin, not just so we can go to heaven one
day, but so that we can live holy lives pleasing to God while we still walk the
face of this earth. Amen!
Depart, Depart!
Depart,
depart, go out from there!
Touch no unclean thing!
Come
out from it and be pure,
you who carry the articles of the Lord’s
house.
But
you will not leave in haste
or go in flight;
for
the Lord will go before you,
the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
So, our Lord God is strongly but gently calling out to his
church to depart from following their “Egypts,” i.e. for them to cease from
finding their dependency and satisfaction, joy and fulfillment in what is of
man and what is of the flesh in place of relying upon God/Jesus as their only
God and Lord. He is calling out to them to stop believing man’s lies and to
listen to what is true. We have to pull ourselves us away from these things.
And, we have to allow the Spirit of God to purify our hearts. And, this won’t
happen if we are still deeply engrossed in the things of this world. That is
why he says, COME OUT AND BE SEPARATE!
I Do Not Seal My Lips
/ An Original Work / January 13, 2014
Based off Psalms 37,
40
Do not fear when evil
man
Has success in all
their plans,
For like grass they’ll
wither soon.
They’ll be cut off
from the land.
Trust in the Lord and
He’ll give you peace.
Find your delight in
Him through all stress.
All of your ways
commit unto Him.
All your desires from
Him He’ll fulfill.
Wait for the Lord;
keep His way.
Delight in His Word
always.
He’ll be with you to
the end;
Life eternal found in
Him.
I waited patiently for
my Lord.
He turned to me, and
He heard my cry.
He set my feet on the
Solid Rock.
He gave to me a firm
place to stand.
Blessed are we, who
trust the Lord,
Who do not turn to
false gods.
Our desire’s to do
God’s will.
His word is within our
hearts.
I will proclaim
salvation to man.
You put a new song now
in my mouth.
I’ll not withhold your
love and your grace.
I’ll speak forevermore
of your truth.
