AWAKE, ARISE, AND TRIUMPH

SCOFF NO MORE
Greetings dear and precious saints of God, our brothers and sisters in Christ the Firstborn from the dead. Remember, Donna and I love you and there is nothing you can do about it. As we move forward, please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by every means available to you. Thank you for sharing. Hope you enjoy the featured picture, a stock photo. I suspect many of you in Maine have been out buying apples and perhaps picking your own at the various orchards. My aunt and uncle in Maine (both are gone on to Heaven) used to have an apple orchard and would have the drops squeezed into fresh cider and it was delicious. Then the State had to put in their two cents and have it pasteurized and so on. Ever wonder how people of my generation ever lived to even school age without the government overlooking our every activity? Well let’s turn our attention to our main Bible text continuing to read out loud before I go on a rant.
Isaiah 28:19-22 (TLB)
19 Again and again that flood will come and carry you off, until at last the unmixed horror of the truth of my warnings will finally dawn on you.”
20 The bed you have made is far too short to lie on; the blankets are too narrow to cover you.
21 The Lord will come suddenly and in anger, as at Mount Perazim and Gibeon, to do a strange, unusual thing—to destroy his own people!
22 So scoff no more, lest your punishment be made even greater, for the Lord God has plainly told me that he is determined to crush you.
Israel, God’s people, were in one of many times of rebellion against God and God in mercy and compassion is giving warning upon warning yet they do not turn. As we read perhaps, we are saying to ourselves that we are thankful we are not rebellious. As we look at the world which by the way we have responsibility for and at the body of Christ, why is there carnage everywhere? Could it be we have rejected the Truth, embraced the lies of the enemy hardening our hearts and now believe this is life as God intended for His children. How perverse!
Hosea 4:6 (TLB)
6 My people are destroyed because they don’t know me, and it is all your fault, you priests, for you yourselves refuse to know me; therefore, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten my laws, I will ’forget’ to bless your children. (Bold added)
Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (Bold added)
Just as in our study of Isaiah, judgement does not come first upon the house of Satan but upon the house of God. The Church has not repented so there can be a healing of this land for they say of what do we have to repent. Do you suppose any in ancient Israel said such a thing, accepting the way of the world as Truth and rejecting the Truth?
1 Peter 4:17 (KJV)
17 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? (Bold added)
Sincerity and zeal are not the criteria by which God judges, He judges by what we believe in our hearts and our walk of love (agape) towards Him. When we sincerely believe the deceptions, lies, of the demons we reap the fruit of lies which is stealing, killing, and destroying all the fruit of the curse, not the blessing. This is what Israel reaped time and time again, you and I as well, when will we give heed, when will it dawn on us? There will either be a great repentance or a great judgment upon the House of God before the land is healed, before the end can come. We have a pivotal role in the Catching Away, the Rapture. All of Heaven awaits us becoming the end time Church. We the Church must turn from our evil ways, even away from our scoffing at the Truth while embracing lies, and persecuting our own because we bought into the poverty theology or some other anti-Christ theology. Let me save you some time, poverty is under the curse, a devil idea, never a God idea. No where is the Bible does it say it is the will of God for anyone to be poor or that we are more holy or closer to God if we are poor. People who embrace this are woefully ignorant of Scripture.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here tomorrow.
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.
