THE MOUNTAIN (S):

Zerubbabel faced a mountain in his life. In his going and in his coming, he faced the mountain; a great mountain.

The mountain was most likely a cause of distress, anguish, anxiety and stress to him. It probably was a nightmare he ran into during the day, as well as during the night. He struggled to overcome this particular mountain in his life, but to no avail; the mountain was right infront of him, he couldn’t run away from it. He had to face it head-on, but with no solution, despite his unrelenting attempts.

The mountain was probably a sore to him; from the depths, the valleys and the heights of it. This mountain essentially confronted him. But when Zerubbabel met The LORD (the word of God, the message of The LORD), The LORD gave him (Zerubbabel) the secret/the Wisdom of overcoming the mountain he faced.

The LORD ministered to him and told Zerubbabel that his efforts and energetic pursuits were not going to yield results in his attempts to overcome the mountain he faced in his life. The LORD spoke to him and told him that his efforts and might that he relied upon in the past, were still not going to help him overcome the mountain he faced.

The LORD then told him, that only The Holy Spirit was going to not only move the mountain (s) in his life, but to completely flatten (obliterate) it (them) and make it a plain. Zerubbabel was thus told by The LORD that he needed to rely on The LORD to overcome the mountain (s) he faced in his life; for only The LORD was the answer to his trouble (s), challenge (s) and problem (s).

Therefore, you and I have a deep message therein to tap into and draw from; the very deep wealth/treasure that comes from The LORD: The reliance on The Holy Spirit to overcome our mountains (anxiety, anguish, grief, stress, pressures, challenges, troubles or whatever the names/description of the mountains we face in our life).

SHALOM!!!

Zechariah 4: 6-7 ‘“So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of The LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says The LORD of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus,

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I Repent and turn away from all Sin

Please cover me with your Precious Blood,

and establish your Word in my life,

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.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST: Focus on that, and make your life be centered on that. Use the same (as a weapon) to fight your battles; for the battle belongs to The LORD.

LIFE:

At the end of the day (when all is said and done/when all is finished/when all comes to a close/when all comes to an End), what matters is that your name be found written in the Book of Life. 

The Book of Life has got the names of those who have Life; those to whom Life has been given.

The giver of Life is Him who possesses Life itself. He grants Life to those who seek it from Him. Those who seek Life from Him, He grants them Eternal Life. He purchased Life for mankind, through His Blood that was shed on the cross of Calvary for remission of sins of mankind (in their individual capacity). He thus grants Life to those who seek it, by taking away their sins and then granting them Eternal Life. He takes away darkness (sins) from them, and grants them Light (Eternal Life).

Those who seek His Light (Eternal Life) must thus Repent for the forgiveness of their sins, so that they be able to have access to Eternal Life in His Glorious Kingdom in Heaven; The Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty.

Make sure your name is found written in The Book of Life, otherwise, it will be found written in the Book of the dead. In other words, make sure you and I (in our individual capacities) embrace Repentance for the forgiveness of our sins through the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ The Messiah, and thereby live (and walk) a life of Righteousness, Holiness, and Wisdom before The LORD The God of Heaven, that we be able to enter into Heaven.

For nobody goes to Heaven through any other name (route) except the name that was given unto mankind for Salvation: The Son of the Living God, Jesus Christ The Messiah, Yeshua Ha Mashiach (in Hebrew), The lion of the tribe of Judah, The Lamb of God without defect.

SHALOM!!!

NOTE: There is no Repentance that is acceptable in hell/the lake of fire. The only Repentance that is acceptable before The LORD The God of Heaven, is on the earth, when one is still alive in their physical body.

SHALOM!!!

John 4: 13-14 ‘“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”’

John 1: 1-5 ‘“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”’

Daniel 12:1 ‘“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.”’

Revelation 20: 11-15 ‘“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”’

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus,

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I Repent and turn away from all Sin

Please cover me with your Precious Blood,

THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, IS THE WORD OF GOD:

This moment in time, The LORD is going to help us to understand a message concerning: The Sword of The Spirit.

As we continue on this spiritual journey, we will note, understand, realize and comprehend that indeed The Sword of The Spirit is: The Word of God.

A sword as we literally know is a weapon that is used in a battle (a war), and it is very durable, firm at the handle and very sharp at the edges. It also has got a very special feature in that it can easily be carried in its sheath (casing), while walking or even while running and yes of course even while sitted or even while sleeping. It is designed and specially made for flexibility, portability and movement.

1-This essentially means that the sword of The Spirit is a very powerful tool and element that has been presented as a weapon to be used in spiritual battles and spiritual wars. This sword of The Spirit is a tool that The Holy Spirit has availed to every human being all over the earth to use in navigating their way through the spiritual battle and spiritual wars that they encounter and go through every day of their life while here on the earth. This is actually the ultimate gift that The LORD God Almighty handed over to every human being that dwells on the earth, in their journey in preparing the way for entry into the Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

Since this is a sword that is availed by The Holy Spirit to be used for spiritual wars and battles (and yes, as the ultimate tool that shows every human being the direction and the path to follow), it thus becomes very important to note that only The Holy Spirit can interpret and help in understanding, grasping the deeper meaning, revelation, secrets, mysteries that this Sword entails, presents and implies. Therefore, everybody should ask The LORD to anoint them and fill them with The Holy Spirit; the anointing and the power of The Spirit of The LORD, so that The Holy Spirit to guide them, direct them, control them, comfort them, counsel them and help them in understanding This Sword of The Spirit, so that they be able to use it effectively and victoriously in the spiritual battle and the spiritual wars.

2-The Sword of The Spirit of The LORD is the word of God as is written, stipulated, captured, mentioned and stated in The Holy Book of God: The Bible. This is the Spirit-given nourishment from the throne room of Heaven to energize, give hope, inspire, show direction, show guidance, show the way, reveal the future & show the mysteries (of the past, the present and the future), highlight the requirements & the ways of The LORD and provide help to each and every human being on the earth.

So, as we have seen therein above, there are spiritual battles and spiritual wars that every human being that is ever created and born on the earth faces. This battle is known as, the battle for souls for eternity.

The LORD God Almighty; Him who created all human beings has been very gracious to the creature that He created in His own image in that He has given and provided the Ultimate weapon that Human being can use to fight and win this battle, and this weapon is known as: The Sword of The Spirit.

This sword of The Spirit (as we have seen above), is The Word of God as written in His Holy Book, The Bible. The word of God thus becomes a very central and ultimate armour of God that every human being needs to put on as stated in the book of Ephesians 6:17 which states as follows: “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

3-It is also very important to note that whenever and wherever The Sword of The Spirit i.e. The Word of God is proclaimed, there is power.

A very sharp and piercing power that reverberates across the spiritual realm. This is because the mysteries of God are made known and the evil/dark (satanic) forces becomes exposed and thus they become rattled by the very powerful and piercing Sword of The Holy Spirit that ultimately causes them to be powerless and disarmed; because they will have been pierced very sharply (right through the middle) by the very powerful, very sharp and double-edged Sword of The Spirit: The Word of God. This very powerfully captured in the book of Ephesians 6:19-20 which states as follows: “Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”

4-It is also very important to note that whenever and wherever we humble ourselves before The LORD and submit our soul, spirit, mind, heart and body to The LORD by embracing Repentance for the forgiveness of our sins and thereby walking in Righteousness, Holiness, Truth, Wisdom and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ, then The LORD will release His presence upon us and we will be able to find rest.

In so doing, we will emerge victorious in the spiritual battle because we shall have partaken to The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God and so we will be able to resist the devil through The Word of God when the devil comes with his evil schemes. The devil will actually flee; because of his fear of The Sword of The Spirit which if he jokes around, will pierce through him right in the middle. This is very powerfully stated in the book of James 4:7-10 which states as follows: ‘“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves before The LORD, and he will lift you up.”’

The same is also very well summarized and powerfully captured in the book of Ephesians 6:10-13 which states as follows: ‘“Finally, be strong in The LORD and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”’

5-This Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God, is actually a very bright and luminous lamp that shines and lights the way for those who have submitted themselves to The LORD.

The Sword of The Spirit is thus also a very bright and shinning tool that clears the path by getting rid of dark, evil and hiding forces, so that we be able to walk through without any harm. The light of the Sword of The Spirit (The Word of God) is so bright that it blinds the evil forces, as the Sword clears the way for those who submit themselves to The LORD. This light meanwhile, is actually The Light that comes from the throne room of Heaven, sent by The LORD God Almighty so that those who submit themselves to The LORD may have eternal life, because this light actually clears the path that leads to eternal life in Heaven. This Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God is actually The LORD Jesus Christ; The Messiah, The Saviour of mankind.

This means that the Word of God is The LORD Himself. That means that The Sword of The Spirit is The LORD Himself. This is very well captured in the book of Psalm 119:105-112 which states as follows: ‘“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much; preserve my life, LORD, according to your word. Accept, LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law. The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts. Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.”’

The same is also very powerfully captured in the book of John1:1-13 which states as follows: ‘“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.  He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”’

6-It is also very important to note that the sword of The Spirit is very active and is very sharp; sharper than any weapon. The Sword of The Spirit thus penetrates every inch of anything and everything; and because the Sword of The Spirit has got a very brilliant light, it sees through the darkest corners of everything.

So, all sin and the darkness of the evil forces and sinful people is all clear to Him (The Word of God: The LORD), because this very bright Sword sees through all and nothing is hidden from the Sword. That means that The Word of God reveals all mysteries.

The word of God essentially judges all, because we will all give account to The LORD God Almighty based on what His Word says i.e. The Sword of The Spirit, which is the word of God is the basis to which every human being will be judged (will be held to account). But them who have submitted themselves to The LORD and are walking in the ways and the requirements of The LORD will rest in His presence, because The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God, shall have showed them the way to eternal life in the Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven. They will thus have taken to The LORD, and will have been Victorious through His Word (The Sword of The Spirit: The Word of God).

This is very powerfully stated in the book of Hebrews 4:12-16 which states as follows: ‘“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.  Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”’

7-It is also very important to note that The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God is actually also very sharp enough to pierce through our soul, spirit, mind, heart and body to cleanse us, purify us, refine us, clean us, revive us and sanctify us because it purges (removes) the chains of sins (including addictions) that we could be/are in bondage in. This includes the chains of generational curses and evil spiritual ties that we may be in, some dating back many years and centuries ago.

The Sword of The Spirit thus breaks loose these evil chains and so we are set free so that we be able to now worship The LORD in spirit and in truth. Him/her who is set free will be free indeed, including those who did not even know that they were in spiritual bondage.

The LORD then creates in us a pure heart, for He breaks, pierces and crushes through The Sword of The Spirit the evil heart (the heart of stone) that we initially had; for then we will now know the truth of The LORD, which is The Word of God, and we will now have a contrite and a broken heart that thrives in The Spirit of humility and void of the spirit of pride and sin: This then becomes the delight of The LORD concerning our life. This is very powerfully written in the book of Psalm 51:10-17 which states as follows: ‘“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. Open my lips, LORD, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.”’

This is also very meticulously captured in the book of John 8:31-47 which states as follows: ‘“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.”  “Abraham is our father,” they answered.“ If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do what Abraham did. As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the works of your own father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”  Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!  Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?  Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”’

8-It is also very important to note that the Sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God is actually what will stand against all the evil doers who have (shall have) refused to submit themselves to The LORD for purification, cleansing, refining and sanctification. As they shall have failed/refused to submit themselves to/before The LORD in Repentance for the forgiveness of their sins and thereby walking in Righteousness, Holiness, Truth, Wisdom and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.

This Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God is what will destroy them, slaughter them and strike them down. This is because the Sword of The Spirit which is sharper than any weapon, and is indeed a double edged sword, will pierce through them and destroy them, for then The Word of God will testify against them, because they had not walked according to the Word of God which was actually meant to show them the direction and the path that leads to eternal life in Heaven.

Remember, the Sword of The Spirit (The word of God) illuminates and lights up the path to the eternal life, and whoever does not walk on the path illuminated by the sword of The Spirit (The Word of God) is actually walking in darkness and so is heading to eternal darkness in hell for eternal damnation; for then they shall have condemned themselves to destruction as a result of not seeking and walking on the path to eternal life in Heaven, which is the Word of God: The LORD Jesus Christ, The sword of The Spirit.

The LORD actually judges, reigns and rules by The Word of God.

All these are very powerfully captured in the book of Revelation 19:11-16 which states as follows: ‘“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.  The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.  Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.  On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.”’

This is actually also very well elucidated in the book of John 3:16-21 which states as follows: ‘“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.  This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”’

Finally, it is very important to note that The Sword of The Spirit, which is The Word of God is everlasting and is anchored into eternity i.e. forever and ever, and this sword of The Spirit (The Word of God) remains the same yesterday, today and forever. This is thus very well summarized in the book of Mathew 24:35 which states as follows: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”  This is furthermore broken down further for better spiritual digestion in the book of Hebrew 13:8 which states as follows: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Let us therefore Run to and partake of The Sword of The Spirit: The Word of God. The Messiah Jesus Christ; The Saviour of mankind.

PURIFICATION IN PREPARING FOR THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:

You and I need to be Purified, Refined and indeed Cleansed in readiness for the coming of The LORD Jesus Christ to take to Heaven the Purified Ones: The Faithful sons and daughters of The LORD.

These indeed are the days when The Wise Ones, Submit and Surrender their life before The LORD and to The LORD, so that The LORD can Purify them, Refine them, Clean them, Cleanse them and indeed Sanctify them through The Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ, The Holy Fire of The LORD, The Light of The LORD Jesus Christ and The Anointing of The Holy Spirit.

This process starts with Repentance for the forgiveness of sins through The Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ; by one humbling himself or herself (preferably on the knees) before The LORD Jesus Christ and asking (pleading) for Mercy from (and before) The LORD (Remember, Salvation and Forgiveness of sins is by Grace and not by Right). The LORD is so loving, so gracious and so merciful; He will forgive us our sins as we ask Him with Sincerity (i.e. meaning it from within ourselves; individually) in our hearts. He will thus wash away all our sins through His Precious Blood (The clean sprinkled water of The LORD), and He will even break and cut chains of bondages of sins including generational sins and curses.

The LORD will then pass us through Fire, by touching us with His Holy Fire, the Fire that will burn up all impurities and all chaffs in our soul, our spirit, our mind, our heart and indeed our body (at our individual level).

The LORD will thus empty us and now fill us with His Presence, Power and indeed His Light; The Light that will Spiritually brighten us and make us White in the presence of The LORD: The Light of The LORD Jesus Christ. We will thus become sons and daughters of Light. This same Light will lighten our path so that we endeavour to walk in the Righteousness of The LORD, in Holiness, in Truth, in Wisdom and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ. As The LORD empties us, He will even remove the heart of stone (the rebellious, sinful, prideful, boastful, unforgiving heart) from us and create in us a New and a Pure heart (a Faithful, Obedient, Humble, Contrite, Repentant, and Forgiving Heart). The LORD will then fill us with the power, the anointing and the nourishment of The Holy Spirit (Who will then Counsel us, Guide us, Direct us, Control us, Comfort us and Help us).

The LORD will then take The Purified Ones, The Wise Ones as His Inheritance. They will be The People of The LORD, and The LORD will be their God; forever and ever, even as He then takes them to Heaven (Through The Rapture or Physical death, whichever comes earlier) as His Faithful sons and daughters.

Prayer, Fasting, Reading the Word of God, meditating upon the Word of God and Worshiping The LORD in Spirit and in Truth are very fundamental part and parcel of the Purification Process.

The Purification process yields much in the form of the Fruits of Repentance which are: walking in Righteousness (Right before The LORD by following His ways and Requirements), Holiness (Set apart/Separated for the Glory and Honour of The LORD), Truth (according to the word of God), Wisdom (The Fear of The LORD/The Reverence to/before The LORD) and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ and indeed serving The LORD in Purity, Faithfulness and Humility; and indeed Worshiping The LORD in Spirit and in Truth.

The Purification process also indeed yields much in the form of the Fruits of The Holy Spirit which are: Love, Joy, Peace, Long-suffering (Perseverance), Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control.

Let us be in the habit and the practice of always submitting and surrendering ourselves to and before The LORD for Purification, Cleansing, Cleaning up, Refining and Sanctification. This in Preparation for the Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

We who are still alive on the earth must be Wise and wait for His Coming (either for us individually when we physically die OR when The LORD Jesus Christ The Messiah comes to take Home His faithful sons and daughters through The Rapture of The Bride of Christ).

When is He Coming? Only The LORD God Almighty knows. But signs of The Times as mentioned in the Holy Book of God (The Bible) are all over; for those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.

SHALOM!!!

Daniel 12: 8-10 ‘“Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My LORD, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.”’

Ezekiel 36: 24-31 ‘“For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.  I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations.”’

John 8: 31-36 ‘“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”’

Exodus 34: 6-9 ‘“And The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,  keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”’

Zechariah 13: 9 ‘“I will bring the one–third through the fire, Will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested.They will call on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; And each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.”’

Psalm 119: 105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”

John 1: 6-9 ‘“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.”’

Psalm 51: 7-12 ‘“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”’

Mathew 3: 11-12 ‘“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”’

Mathew 3: 7-8 ‘“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of Repentance.”’

IS YOUR PATH A RECKLESS ONE BEFORE THE LORD?

This moment in time we are going to discuss and share a very fundamental issue and item especially taking into account the fact that mankind is in the very final stages of: The End-Times.

So, as we continue to go through this, each one of us needs to interrogate himself/herself regarding the path that we/you (in our/your individual capacity) is/are walking on, and we each need to go deeper in the interrogation and ask ourselves: “Is the Path I have taken a Reckless one before The LORD?” OR “Is the Path I have taken a Righteous one and a Holy one before The LORD?”

To set us off, we are going to read the book of Numbers 22:9-41 which states as follows: ““God came to Balaam and asked, “Who are these men with you?” Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, sent me this message: ‘A people that has come out of Egypt covers the face of the land. Now come and put a curse on them for me. Perhaps then I will be able to fight them and drive them away.’” But God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. You must not put a curse on those people, because they are blessed.” The next morning Balaam got up and said to Balak’s officials, “Go back to your own country, for theLord has refused to let me go with you.” So the Moabite officials returned to Balak and said, “Balaam refused to come with us.” Then Balak sent other officials, more numerous and more distinguished than the first. They came to Balaam and said: “This is what Balak son of Zippor says: Do not let anything keep you from coming to me, because I will reward you handsomely and do whatever you say. Come and put a curse on these people for me.” But Balaam answered them, “Even if Balak gave me all the silver and gold in his palace, I could not do anything great or small to go beyond the command of The LORD my God. Now spend the night here so that I can find out what else The LORD will tell me.” That night God came to Balaam and said, “Since these men have come to summon you, go with them, but do only what I tell you.” Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials. But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of The LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. When the donkey saw the angel of The LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road. Then the angel of The LORD stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of The LORD, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again. Then the angel of The LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of The LORD, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. Then The LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?” Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.” The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?” “No,” he said. Then The LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of The LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown. The angel of theLord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.” Balaam said to the angel of The LORD, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.” The angel of The LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials. When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the Moabite town on the Arnon border, at the edge of his territory. Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send you an urgent summons? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you?” “Well, I have come to you now,” Balaam replied. “But I can’t say whatever I please. I must speak only what God puts in my mouth.” Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth. Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and gave some to Balaam and the officials who were with him. The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, and from there he could see the outskirts of the Israelite camp.””

So from the above, we find that Balaam was on a mission to see Balak, the king of Moab, but this path he had taken was a reckless one before The LORD, because he had been summoned by King Balak to come and curse a people whom The LORD God Almighty had blessed. So, the angel of The LORD blocked his way and warned him that for him to be allowed to proceed, he had to go with another route, the route that is set by The LORD; The route of Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD. That’s why the angel of The LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.”

This means that whenever The LORD appears to oppose the reckless path that the people of the earth have taken, He makes it known very clearly that He is not pleased. So, the only remedy becomes Repentance, and that’s why Balaam had to Repent before The LORD by saying: “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.”

Balaam Repented after The LORD made it very clear to him that he was on the path to destruction, since the path he had taken was a reckless one, and that’s why The LORD said to Balaam: “I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.”

The beauty of this is that even though Balaam wanted to go back, but The LORD told him that there was no reason for giving up. The LORD told him that he could continue with his journey but he had to take another path, a very narrow path, a path where you can only take to once the power of The LORD descends upon you and you wake up from darkness, so that you can now see the light and then you recognize your sins and Repent of your sins before The LORD. This narrow path requires one to be cleansed and washed by the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ, so that one is protected by the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ and the baptism/anointing of The Holy Spirit. Otherwise, due to one’s filthiness and the horrible darkness that covers one (them), they are bound to even crush their feet, because this path of The LORD is for those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb without defect (The LORD Jesus Christ).

This narrow path and the consequences of walking on it before Repentance of sins is well stated as follows as we have read: “Then the angel of The LORD stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of The LORD, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.”

Isaiah the prophet of The LORD also discusses this narrow path in the book of Isaiah 35:8 which states as follows: “And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it.”

That’s why when the power of The LORD came upon Balaam, his eyes were opened and he realized the horrible darkness he had been in and he now worshipped The LORD and Repented of his sins, as is stated as follows: ‘“Then The LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of The LORD standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.”’

He immediately repented when his sins were laid bare to him. So once his eyes were opened from the very horrible darkness he had been in, Balaam declared: “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me.”

No wonder The LORD later says in the book of Revelation 3:17-18 which states: ‘“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”’

So, you/we find that Repentance in the Mighty name of The LORD Jesus Christ opens the way for one to proceed with their journey even though one takes to a new route in keeping with Repentance. This new route is the route of Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.

On this new route, even how one speaks (including to the world) is based on Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, Truth and complete Surrender to The LORD. That’s why Balaam after Repenting of his sins, he couldn’t talk or reason like before. His speech was totally reformed, and his speech had to be the speech of The LORD. That’s why as we have read, as is stated: “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.”

It is very important to note that when The LORD has set us free of/from our sins when we Repent before Him, we are a new creation and we depend not on our own human understanding (or material possession), but we now depend on the wise counsel, guidance, direction, comfort and help of The LORD: The Holy Spirit. We now don’t rely on our material possessions e.g. donkeys, to take us forward, but we now rely on The LORD to be able to move forward on the path of The LORD; as guided by The LORD. That’s why you/we find that Balaam while he was in the dark, he was relying on his material possession (donkey) to move him forward, not knowing that a roadblock had been stationed by The LORD to oppose his reckless path. This as we have read: ‘“Then the angel of The LORD moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of The LORD, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff.” But later on when his eyes had been opened and he Repented of his sins, The LORD told him: “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.”’

It also very important to note that The LORD speaks to us in various ways e.g. dreams, visions, physical manifestations, audible voice, The Bible and also through others (his servants, sons and daughters), but sometimes we choose to ignore what The LORD is speaking to us. Instead of focusing on the message The LORD is relaying across to us, due to our pride, we only focus on ourselves. This is the situation Balaam was in, and that’s why it is stated as follows: ‘“Then The LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?” Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.” The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”’

So, a time comes, and indeed has come upon the earth when The LORD is now calling upon all the people and the nations of the earth to heed to the call to Repentance and living in Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ in preparation for the very imminent coming of The LORD Jesus Christ to take His bride to Heaven (to rapture His bride).

The sad part is that majority of the people of the earth want to hear what their itching ears want to hear e.g. prosperity gospel; how to prosper here on the earth so that one can have a successful material possession, how one can just continue on with one’s usual reckless path since “The LORD will understand that one cannot be holy” and so one can praise The LORD while at the same time involved in witchcraft, drinking of alcohol, smoking of cigarettes, prostitution, watching pornography, gossiping, homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery, masturbation, fornication, playing  violent video games, participating in yoga, envy, cheating in exam, idolatry, false religion including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age movement, Free Masonry, amongst many other forms of sins.

The LORD, He is God Almighty, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. The living God Almighty whose Kingdom is in Heaven.

I’m here to encourage you, urge you and beseech you that The LORD has now come to you/us with a message, and the message is: “I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.”

So, The LORD is also essentially saying therein: ‘“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”’

Therefore, what do you/we need to do now to be saved? You/we need to go before The LORD and declare the following (before Him): ‘“I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me.”’

The LORD will usher you/us to the narrow road, the road that leads to eternal life in the Kingdom of God Almighty in Heaven. This narrow road/path is the path of absolute Repentance, Righteousness, Holiness, Wisdom, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ. The LORD will forgive you/us your/our sins once you/we humble yourself/ourselves before Him in absolute Repentance. He will baptize you/us with the Power of The Holy Spirit; and The Holy Spirit will guide you/us, direct you/us, counsel you/us, comfort you/us and help you/us on this narrow path; because The LORD will open your/our eyes to the truth: His Truth. You/we will no longer walk on a reckless path before The LORD, but will now take to the highway of The LORD: The acceptable path before The LORD. The narrow road. The highway of Repentance. The highway of Righteousness. The highway of Holiness. The highway of Wisdom before The LORD The God of Heaven

SHALOM!!!

NOTE: I first posted the above Message (Teaching) on 2^nd August 2013. It remains relevant today, in the past and forever more. Glory and Honour be to The LORD.

2nd Peter: 1-12 ‘“So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.”’

(‘“For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.”’).
