TEACHING AND PROPHETIC ARM – PART NINE
Saturday – April 25, 2020, Iyar 1, 5780
Greetings dear and precious saints of the only living God and welcome back to this engaging and provoking Bible Study that revolves around the history and mission of this Ministry. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to hit the “love” and “share” buttons to further the reach of this Truth. You may or may not like what you are hearing from this Ministry. If you are in the I don’t like what I am hearing, in the context of not believing, find Scripture to the contrary. I knock over sacred cows almost every day. There is no victory only stealing, killing, and destroying in sacred cows (traditions of men and the doctrines of demons). As you are all too well aware, we are in the midst of a pestilence in the earth centered, not originating, in the United States. I am writing this on the 31st of March so by the time you are reading this teaching there will be great carnage worldwide and in this nation. By this time every Church will have suffered loss and the impotence (feebleness) of the Church will be for all to see.
Many are praying for God to protect them from this virus or for Him to take this virus away with no role for them, the individual believer. God can only act upon our voice, our authority, and then the Power of God can flow. The prayers of vast numbers of Christians will be unanswered for they have not applied the Blood and they have not spoken the words of faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit necessary to release God into this situation at large much less their own home. For example, the 91st Psalm. The 91st Psalm is not something we ask for it is something we decree and God enforces. Many don’t have standing although saved to have a hearing and receive an answer to their prayer or decree due to contaminated Word. Death and life are in the power of our tongue (not God’s and not the devils). What are we speaking, fear, unbelief, and death or love, faith, and life?
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.
Have we humbled ourselves, prayed with a open ears, eyes, and heart? Have we judged ourselves and turned from our wicked ways? Only when these things are done will the Lord hear (legal term) our case, forgive our sin, and heal our land. The forgiveness and the healing only come after heartfelt and demonstrated repentance. If the devil, the curse, is in our house it is because we opened the door and left it open. There is only one reason or way that the enemy, the curse, can come onto our territory, our homes. It is by disobedience, unbelief, turning aside to other gods.
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:
As I was praying this morning and thinking about what the Lord would have me to write, four things came into my thinking. I do not know if I will be able to cover them all today. First, the Word the Lord said on the 19th of April 2019, as I was meditating the following Scripture: “A day of woe is at hand”.
Isaiah 5:20-24 (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
I think many of us may not know exactly what the word “woe” means but instinctively know it is not something we want any part of in our lives. According to the dictionary and thesaurus this word means “great sorrow or distress” and synonyms include, misery, sorrow, distress, unhappiness, heartbreak, disaster, torment, and many others. The antonyms are happiness and joy. Hopefully we can all see how this applies to the coronavirus plague. This passage has commonly been applied to the world (much like 2 Chronicles 7:14) but today it is being applied to the Church. The Church for the most part, except for the rising remnant, is in darkness and proclaims it as light, once that happens what is good becomes evil. It is of vital importance that all of us examine everything that we believe and back it up with two or three different witness (different writers not different Scripture references with the same writer). We must be good Berean’s (Acts 17:11). Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week.
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).
