MY WORDS SPEAK TRUTH

The Joshua Chronicles , Bible | Jedediah

[Jedediah]

Oracles of my servants are true and report what I am doing today for as my word forget the former things behold I do a new thing and I shall speak it through whom I choose without man's approval or their vain imaginations rooted in pride and knowledge of the flesh and not the kingdom for they know not of my ways as long as they seek to admire their flesh .

So "my" chosen and few shall speak of new things and things to come and the shallow minded shall not conceive the things of the Spirit of The Lord that they reject in prideful wanderings for truly they are only a desert unto themselves and those blind that follow these empty sounding gongs absent of The Father's love .

So come ! To the Spring of Living Waters for I shall quench your thirst through The Spirit of The Lord for I AM THE WORD and only My Spirit can reveal this to you by The Father's will .

Will you come ? Or wrestle with me for day is breaking and your Morningstar calls to those in " humble abide " .

Abide with me and fast the earth !

1 Corinthians 1:20-22 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

1 Corinthians 2:13-15 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy[a] Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

Isaiah 43:18-21 18 “ Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. 20 The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen. 21 This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise.

Such awwwwwwsomely

overwhelming sweetness.

Impressive.

[MarkBsnr]

***“I am already under God’s judgement. I never was and never will be under yours. What gibberish are you reduced to in order to support a street corner lunatic?”

That’s well said, and it’s one of the most perplexing things about some well-known posters here. They really think that we will accept their judgment of us over God’s; they think their mercy and approval is more important than God’s mercy and approval. I guess they think they are superior to God, that we should automatically feel guilty if we disagree, because if they are annoyed with us, then God must be also.***

Appreciate the sentiment. The attitude seems to be that God will indeed accede to the wishes of the self described faithful. The gibberish is generated in order to throw up flak to protect the individual from the reality of Scripture and the Catechism. When one assumes the role of God, then one cannot put up with the possibility of theology proving one wrong.

However, inferences, might be hazardous.

To whom? The inferer? or the inferee? Likely the latter.

Have a good rest.

What follows is probably an unfair characterization, but I cannot help but thinking of the following images when reading the posts by the originator and the defender of this thread;

Makes sense to me.

I knew you were a person of eminent good sense when I saw your puppies.

Oh, thanks. Some may differ....:-D

Not much of a cheese shop, is it?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the ping and for sharing your concerns, dear brother in Christ!

My "two cents"...

Scriptures give us Christians four tests to apply anytime someone tries to give us Spiritual advice.

If any of these tests fail, then we should ignore what they say: (1) the doctrine of who Christ is, (2) the Berean test, (3) Spiritual discernment and (4) the fruits of the Spirit.

Doctrine of who Christ is

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. - 1 John 4:1-3

If the message is that Jesus Christ was a mortal, that His life began when He was conceived in Mary’s womb or when He was physically born or that he is “a” Creator/God instead of “the” Creator/God – it is against Christ. We must reject it.

The Berean test

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. - Acts 17:11

If the Scriptures do not agree with the message, we must reject the message. If the Scriptures are silent on the matter, we might take it as merely the harmless thoughts of a mortal. Spiritual discernment

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:12-13

Spiritual discernment – also called “ears to hear” is a gift of God. Without that gift, it is impossible to hear or understand the language of the Spirit.

And if the Spirit Who indwells us grates against the message we heard from someone else, we must reject it. If He draws us to the message, we must listen but follow the Spirit’s leading. If neither, then we might receive the message as merely the harmless thoughts of another man.

Fruits of the Spirit

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. - Matthew 7:15-20

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23

When someone seeks to advise us on spiritual matters, we must look at the fruits of the speaker’s life. If we see love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control then we should listen.

But we must be careful to judge the fruits, not the man.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. – Matthew 7:1-2

To God be the glory, not man, never man.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[Reflections Of The Father’s Heart]

October 17th 2009

+ These are the days wherein I shall judge ALL self-righteousness [pride] in the midst of My people. Therefore, let all those who truly love Me set themselves in a position before Me each day in the “inner chamber” that I might be “allowed” to examine their heart to reveal [expose] any motivation that is apart from Me, therein. Many still attempt to make it on their “own” strength [understanding] in their “service” to Me - but that can never be [John 15:5]. In this hour, the Enemy has sent a horde of extremely “vile” demonic forces to stop the advent of My Glorious Church, and they will attack ANY ground before them in the the hearts of My people that is rooted in unrighteousness and, because of this “ground” they will “compel” them [exert great pressure] to do and say that which is “misrepresentitive” of My true character - and, through all these things, those that hold to self-righteousness will “revile” My true servants, and they shall cast them out from their midst. But truly I say to you, they shall reap My unrestrained wrath [righteous indignation] and, thus, the fruit of their words and actions shall be made known to all [1 Corinthians 3:10-15]. For I will no longer tolerate the mistreatment of those who have been faithful and obedient to Me [My Will] at all cost to themselves and, thus, it is certain that I will humble all those who have exalted themselves while, at the same time exalting [giving a platform to] all those who have truly humbled themselves before Me [entered into a complete dependence and trust in Me] [Matthew 23:11-12]. Again, apart from an “abiding revelation” of the Cross they will not be able to discern [believe] those that I send to them in theses days for their edification and prosperity [divine well-being]. Let all those who truly love Me be found forsaking every unrighteous motivation towards Me [and, therefore, towards My people] - for it is ONLY the pure in heart that will have eyes to see and ears to hear in this most critical and glorious hour [Matthew 5:8].

“vile” - repulsive; debased; depraved; vicious; foul; evil;

“compel” - to force or drive to a course of action; to secure or bring about by force; to overpower; to have a powerful and irresistible effect, influence;

Thanks, Bro for the courage to speak as He directs, regardless.

I have felt that message in my bone marrow for so many years. When contemplating it, it has always sobered me.

I think it’s real easy to castigate folks of 2,000 years ago . . . and all the more so when we aren’t looking in mirrors. However, God has such a capacity to rub our faces in our own stuff so thoroughly and so extremely pointedly . . . that we never quite recover to the same persons we were before. In some ways, thankfully, we never quite recover at all.

Lots of things are not as they seem within and without. Only the searchlight of Holy Spirit can illumine most interiors, truly, all interiors.

Only the Cross, the fire of Holy Spirit, Christ’s Blood . . . can cleanse.

Only the dead, live.

The compulsively yeowling are not yet dead.

White-wash is not the same as redemptive, enlivening death.

I can rhyme too. Pride has budded.
And hey, The end is near!
Glorious church? The worst of the heathen.
That what you wanted to hear?

Who will enter into the habitations?
It’s David’s spoil right?
Me, I’m bored, just loafing around.
Hey, you or your bud got a light?

[Judith Anne]

One of the things that never fails when you’re dealing with a self-appointed prophet, is that invariable the prophecy concerns how God is going to take vengeance on those who mock His so-called servants.

I don’t know of any God Who is that small—that sounds more like a demon. The world killed the Son of God, yet God’s love for the world only grew, “that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God came not into the world to condemn the world (q.v. the false prophets) but that the world through Him might be saved.”

One clear indication of a false prophet is how, with the happiest abandon they threaten vengeance, fiery death for mockers and unbelievers, all sort of dire consequences, and so on. Boy howdy, I bet those false prophets sure feel great when they contemplate what they think will be God’s wrath against people who refuse to take them seriously.

They will likely be surprised to find that God loves His lost sheep at least as much as his loudmouth blog floggers.
