FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – WEEK SIXTY-NINE
THE DILUTION OF TRUTH – PART THREE
Greetings dear and precious followers, friends, and partners of The Three Minute Word blog and this Ministry, Eastern Gate Ministries International, Inc. Today’s teaching is a continuation of what started here in the “From the Prophets Chamber” teaching on the 21st. You have probably noticed I am not much of an ear tickler or one to coddle but one speaking the Truth, there is no greater love. I (and you) need to be as plain as possible; your future depends upon it if you are receiving of this Ministry and so does my future depend upon it. I am not talking about the public accolades but the eternal rewards at the BEMA of Christ.
James 3:1 (CJB)
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, since you know that we will be judged more severely.
There are now those receiving great accolades in this world but will suffer great loss at the Judgment Seat of Christ (BEMA).
1 Corinthians 3:12-15 (KJV)
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
There is no place for laziness in the Kingdom of God, no place for a “oh that’s good enough attitude” in the Kingdom of God. There is a great place for gentleness and encouragement but zero place for the compromise of the Truth. As we are moving forward, please take a moment and share this teaching by every means available to you. By doing this you are taking this Truth, this gospel of the Kingdom, to places perhaps we are not and cannot currently reach. Thank you to those who shared. Don’t forget we are always receiving financial partners to this Ministry, they are vital, we are on the alert 24/7 to opportunities to intervene in people’s lives and that requires resources. A great big thank you goes out to those who are giving generously into this Ministry and become with us the Hands of God in the earth. Now, let’s prepare to move into our study, continuing to read out loud building faith which pleases God.
Bible Truth (capital T – there is no other capital T Truth) is hiding nothing and is true for all peoples at all times, period. In and out of the Church there are many things which are true (small t) and many things that are facts but they are not the Truth. They are partial and do not apply to all people at all times. Let me ask a question. Is it the will of God for anyone to be poor financially, sick, or in any way lacking or to go to Hell? That would be an emphatic NO yet we hear this from the pulpit.
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
This verse tells us and there are many more, that it is not the will of God that anyone at any time perish (have loss or be destroyed). Why are people perishing by the billions? Their choice not His. What about the common statement that “God is in control; He is in complete control” you know! Is this true? In case you are struggling with the answer, this is perhaps the most malignant of lies commonly believed in the Church. There are things that God is completely in control of but the decisions of our individual lives and others actions in the earth are in the hands of mankind. He delegated that authority right from the get go. God has the power but it is illegal (sin) for Him to usurp our authority, therefore it will not happen. God is with infinite precision upholding all natural and spiritual laws of the universes and earth.
Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
It says upholding not controlling! If we say stupid stuff, He allows stupid stuff in our lives. That is justice for those who don’t say stupid stuff. Who chose to obey or not, God or me? Let’s look at two very familiar scriptures. Just a cursory glance you will see it is our choice all the time.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (KJV)
1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Who chose to be obedient and have the Blessing? You and me!
Deuteronomy 28:14-15 (KJV)
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Who chose to be disobedient and have the curse? You and me!
Lord willing, I will pick up with a fresh Word from the Lord next Saturday.
2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Receive the blessing in Jesus’ name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (MSG)
24 GOD bless you and keep you,
25 GOD smile on you and gift you,
26 GOD look you full in the face and make you prosper.
