When one has accepted The LORD
Jesus Christ as their LORD, Master and Saviour, and has thus consequently
become Born-again and received Salvation through The LORD Jesus Christ, they consequently begin a Journey in the
Presence of The LORD, on the Narrow Road that leads to the Kingdom of The LORD
God Almighty in Heaven. So in the past they were entangled in the
Worldly lifestyle of Sin, but then they received their Deliverance through the
Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ. In other words, they were delivered from Egypt
and were now put on the route that leads to the promised land.
So this calls for Remaining
Focused on the Narrow Road, as the Sons and the Daughters of The LORD journeys
on the path that leads to the Promised Land (The Kingdom of The LORD God
Almighty in Heaven). The word “Focused”, in this context means being Steady and
ensuring that the Eye is on the Target. So
“Remaining Focused”, in this context refers to being Steady (Firm) and ensuring
that your Eye (both Physical and Spiritual eye) is always on the Target (of
Entry into Heaven). This is to ensure that the Faithful Sons and
Daughters of The LORD, who having received their Deliverance from Egypt, do not
turn back again and start thinking or longing for or going back to the Worldly
Sinful lifestyle of Egypt, which includes Prostitution, Fornication, Committing
of Adultery, Idolatry (the worship of idols and golden calf), Murder, Envy,
Jealousy, Hatred, Busts of Anger, Witchcraft, Masturbation, Watching of
Pornography, Gossip, Drunkenness, Smoking of Marijuana, Cigarettes, Cocaine
E.T.C.
Having received the
Deliverance of The LORD, you and me should not then turn against God and start
complaining against Him, and even wishing that He could have left us in Egypt
(which encompasses the Worldly Lifestyle of Sin). For if that will be the case,
then we shall not have really comprehended the Magnitude and the Significance
of our Salvation (our Deliverance) from a lifestyle of Sins (Egypt). Because,
how can we look back to what Egypt (the Sinful lifestyle of the World) had to
offer? How can we keep focusing on the Sinful past? How can we keep focusing on
the perishable Pots of meat (the Sinful lifestyle) which surrounded us in
Egypt? Haven’t we been Delivered through The Blood and The Cross of Calvary by
our LORD Jesus Christ? Haven’t we known that the wages of Sin is Death, and
that by receiving Salvation through The LORD Jesus Christ, we now have Eternal
Life; having been Saved from the Jaws of Death?
The above whole conversation
is very powerfully summarized in the Book of Exodus 16: 1-3 which states as follows: ‘“And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and
Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the
land of Egypt. Then the whole congregation of the children of Israel complained
against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Israel said to
them, “Oh, that we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when
we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have
brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”’
It is also very important to
note that when The LORD God Almighty Blesses us with Food, Shelter, Water,
Jobs, Finances, Family and all other provisions and blessings, it normally is
always a Test by The LORD to see whether we will still Worship Him in Truth and
in Spirit, OR whether we will go astray and start worshipping the
Blessings/Provisions by returning back to Egypt (the Worldly lifestyle of Sin).
In so doing, the LORD does institute
this Test to separate the Fake Bride of Christ from the Real Bride of Christ. It is the Baptism by Fire, to Test the Worship and the Service we offer
to God, whether it is a Worship in Truth and in Spirit OR whether it is just a
shallow worship rooted in the flesh, and whether we are Serving Him in Purity,
Faithfulness and Humility. So when The LORD institutes
Open Heavens over our life (As He promised through His Servant Joel in Joel 2:
28-29: ‘“And it shall come to pass
afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall
see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out
My Spirit in those days.”’), in terms of the outpour of The
Holy Spirit OR even through The Rain of Bread (Provisions), we must be very
careful because therein is also the Test of The LORD, to see whether we are for
Real or we are Fake (whether we are the Wise Virgins or the Foolish Virgins) in
Serving Him and in Worshiping Him. This is very powerfully captured in the book
of Exodus 16:4 which states
as follows: ‘“Then the Lord said to
Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from
heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day,
that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.”’
The same is also very powerfully captured in the book of 1st Corinthians 3: 11-17 which states as follows: ‘“For no other foundation can anyone lay
than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will
declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each
one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it
endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer
loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. Do you not know
that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If
anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God
is holy, which temple you are.”’
So whether we are Partaking of
(“Enjoying”) Open Heavens of Bread (Blessings and Provisions) or Open Heavens
of the Outpour of The Holy Spirit, Let us always endevour to Remain Focused on
The LORD Jesus Christ, and how to enter into The Kingdom of The LORD God
Almighty in Heaven. Remember, He is the same God, who says in the Book of Mathew 6: 33 which states as
follows: “But seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Meaning that it is always about His Kingdom in Heaven and His Righteousness,
Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to Him. In other words, Repenting of our
Sins before The LORD Jesus Christ, and asking Him to have mercy on us and to
forgive us our Sins, and to wash them all away through His Precious Blood that
He shed at the cross of Calvary, and to thus Write our names in The Book of
Life in Heaven. We thereby thus then walk (Journey) faithfully on the Narrow
Road of The LORD, through the Help, Guidance, Counsel, Direction, Control and
Comfort of The Holy Spirit.
So, to Guard ourselves against
complacency (“getting used” to The LORD), as a result of partaking of Open
Heavens or Otherwise, we should always rejoice in the Presence of The LORD and
thank Him for everything, including the Air (Oxygen) we breath. As we do this, we should always put on
the Full Armour of God, which include Praying without ceasing; so that we be
able to Stand and not fall to temptation. We should endevour to Read
the Word of God (The Holy Bible) and to Worship The LORD in Spirit and in Truth.
This is very powerfully captured in the Book of 1st Thessalonians 5: 16-18 which states as follows: ‘“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for
you.”’
Therefore, it is very
important to always Remain Focused on The LORD, regardless of our situation,
condition or status. This is because
The LORD is the Alpha and The Omega, the Beginning and the End, we can thus not
outsmart Him; because everything is literally in His Mighty Hand. We thus need
to ensure by the help of The Holy Spirit, that we always Press on towards the
Goal of entering into Heaven; by Remaining Focused on The LORD. This is
very powerfully captured in the Book of Philippians
3: 12-14 which states as follows: ‘“Not
that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I
may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren,
I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I
press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus.”’
SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!! SHALOM!!!

that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness
and write my name in your Book of Life
and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit
in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Your Brother in Christ Jesus and a Shepherd of The LORD,

One might ask what you get when you combine that which bears a star with that which bears a cross. Some people choose to bear jewelry, and others don't have a choice in the matter. One also might wonder what the significance is of the right arm.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy for one to judge incorrectly on that which one does not understand, and from what I can tell, there are a very few that do.
The ways of this world are very contrary to that of the spiritual, but it is a mistake to think that one does not spill over into the other. Matthew 24 rings very true, to the point where it brings tears to my eyes and I cannot complete it. The words we speak and the words we write carry a weight that most are happily ignorant of, they can be so hurtful or bring a smile to ones face, or even better a laugh. The ones that seek lawlessness, can they create any more laws to make life for good people more unpleasant? It will all be undone, but it does take a line being crossed, like the misuse of a symbol representing a covenant, or worse yet; to blaspheme The Spirit of Grace. Spiritually speaking, there is a reaction, and it does manifest itself in the physical, yet many choose to ignore that and give undue credit to something called whatever flips the bill at the time...such as global warming, climate change, or whatever trendy term they can conjure up. Is this not a slight, to say that something was not designed resilient enough to handle that which it was designed for, is a house not designed to be lived in, is it not a slight to the architect to say that something is not up to the task? It is proper for some not to understand why all of these fabricated problems come to be, for they make no sense whatsoever and we should not be concerned with such things. What many misunderstand, is that some things do not change, and they cannot compromise with that which is so brazen to have it's depraved will appeased, for it will not relent until it meets that which it cannot defeat. It is a difficult thing to see people recognize that which is lawless and has great worldly authority, while ignoring that which is quite the opposite in every respect. And despite all the bad things seen and heard just about everywhere, is it not calming to hear the cooing of doves, like listening to people speak as they should or do as they should. Which is quite the opposite of the ones as described in your Matthew 23 excerpt. And yet, at the same time, we are refined by the ones that you described there, so it is proper that we offer assistance. For everything will be worked out as it should be and it is unwise to be presumptive in such matters. Yet a fool may infer that you should then throw a rattlesnake into the play yard of children, figuratively and literally, sad as it may be, there are a great many that wish to do so, and many more that are foolish enough to listen. On the other hand, it is a great thing to see wise individuals call out these fools, and quite funny too, sometimes. And on that note, it is nice to laugh in the company of good people. Should we not be happy, for what does a cross laying at a 45 degree angle symbolize in times such as these?
Prophet kevin. This is one of your best sermons. The gift of wisdom is strong within you.
