TEACHING AND PROPHETIC ARM – PART EIGHT
Saturday – April 18, 2020, Nisan 24, 5780
Greetings dear and precious saints of God and welcome back to this Saturday series which is designed to give further insights into the origins, history and continuation of this Ministry. We are very grateful for those who have been friends and especially those who have faithfully partnered financially with this Ministry. Once again, I invite those whom the Lord is leading to join with us financially as partners to push the good news forward. It is not that we desire or need a gift as the Apostle Paul told the saints at Philippi (Philippians 4:17). It is to your great benefit to partner with ministries outside of your local Church as the Lord leads. Consider the following passage and then I will move forward.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (KJV)
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
If you just glazed over the preceding passage, do not move forward until you have read it carefully and asked the Lord if you have a willing, cheerful, bountiful heart, or an unwilling, grudging, stingy heart. I understand that we have been in and remain in a great financial storm and pestilence however the way out is not stinginess. The way out also is not the United States government. Do not act foolishly nor rashly and do not be afraid but follow closely after the leadership of the Holy Spirit. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to increase the reach of this Ministry. On the 15th of March the Lord spoke to me about the pestilence enveloping the world and our own land. I shared it with several people that day and many others later publishing it on this blog on the 22nd of March. It seems to me the Lord wants me to share it yet again.
WORD OF THE LORD
March 15, 2020
AM Prayer
- False faith leads to humiliation. The corona virus is going to explode with fury with many deaths and the lack of faith in the Church will be exposed to an even greater extent and will be humiliated, ashamed.
- Go to your knees before me, before the devil brings you to your knees. This has happened over and over to my people and I had to allow it because of rebellion against the Word.
- My people do not need to suffer, come out of bondage, come out of idolatry, walk in the Truth.
- My people love to quote 2 Chronicles 7:14 but they do not do it.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
- Repent and fear not.
The fact that I am sharing this a second time signals to me that the Church as a whole has gone on with business as usual. As I write this I have observed (albeit limited) two weeks of electronic Church and for the most part it is Church as usual just electronic. Each Church’s leadership can and must call its individual Church to repentance and inquire of the Lord how it is to change. The Church is rife with the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons. A sea change (profound transformation) is required in the Church not the world to begin with. I know there are times when the Lord has had to work with me from more than one angle over time to get me to see a Truth that was missing and causing trouble in my life. Our God, has many men and women that are preaching, teaching, prophesying the Truth but the Church is too enamored with their systems, traditions, and sacred cows (doctrines of demons) to receive the Truth, believe it, and act upon it.
As an aside for those saying that this is the wrath of God let me say no, this is judgement. A case, an accusation, was brought by Satan before God and the judgement of God, the justice of God, had no choice but to give the devil more freedom in the earth including (starting) with the Church. The Church made this judgement possible by the rampant sin which is unbelief (lack of faith), traditions of men (not the Truth and not backed by God), and the doctrines of demons. Without dramatic change in the Church (those that know Jesus) this pestilence (or another) will be recurring and with increasing severity (morbidity and mortality). Way too many Pastors are preoccupied with the trauma of closing the Church, the cash flow, and constitutional rights. Far more important, by far, than any of this is answering the question of why this pestilence is in the land to begin with. This pestilence is the work of evil but allowed by God following legal proceedings in Heaven. Who gave it permission? Who is the ruling authority in the land?
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
