Pollution of God's
Word part 3
JEREMIAH 7:1-4,11, "THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAH FROM THE LORD
SAYING, STAND IN THE GATE OF THE LORD'S HOUSE, AND PROCLAIM THERE THIS WORD,
AND SAY, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, ALL YE OF JUDAH, THAT ENTER IN AT THESE
GATES TO WORSHIP THE LORD. THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL,
AMEND YOUR WAYS AND YOUR DOINGS, AND I WILL CAUSE YOU TO DWELL IN
THIS PLACE. TRUST YE NOT IN LYING WORDS, SAYING, THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, THE
TEMPLE OF THE LORD, THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, ARE THESE."
VS 11" IS THIS HOUSE, WHICH IS CALLED BY MY NAME, BECOME A DEN OF ROBBERS IN
YOUR EYES? BEHOLD, EVEN I HAVE SEEN IT, SAITH THE LORD."
"a den of robbers".
Have we been robbed? Yes!! Yes indeed, we have! But, whose fault is it for
the robbery (other than Father trying to teach us something?) And what have
we been robbed of? We've been (temporarily) robbed of that child like faith
that we had when we first came to know the Lord, and now, we must return to
our first Love! Many of us have. But, many have not. (and will not, in this
time frame) The robbery is STILL taking place; MAN is robbing God's people,
of Father's Truth, of WHO THEY ARE!
What we WERE being robbed of, was the revelation of Christ manifesting
through us, His Body; of ONLY Father being seen , in the earth, through us;
of that Loving Nature of Father's, (with a nature that MAN has taught the
what to do's and what not to do's) that compassion of His;(His Compassion
is for what is NEEDED, not what a man wants to give us), the Sovereignty of
Him IN US!. Many are still being robbed, because of the House of Bethel.
(House of the Lord.)
Now, there are those who will not agree with me on the following, but
that's ok. I give what Father gives me. If it hasn't been revealed to
someone else, then as they say, "all in God's time." The easy way out for
many, is to say, the churches, the pastors and the teachers, are to be
blamed for this robbery. Yes, that would be the easy way out, but, have you
ever hear the old saying of "every coin has 2 sides"? Well, let's take a
look at the other side of the coin.
Look at these scriptures:
1)1Cor 15:51 "BEHOLD, I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE
SHALL ALL BE CHANGED."
2)1COR 2:16 "FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT
HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST."
3)COL 2:9-10, 15 "FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.
AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND
POWER."
4)GAL 2:20 "I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST; NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT
CHRIST LIVETH IN ME; AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY
THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME."
5)COL 3:4 WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, SHALL APPEAR, THEN SHALL YE ALSO
APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY."
6)2 TIM 2:15 "STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT
NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH"
7)JOHN 16:13 "HOWBEIT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, IS COME, HE WILL GUIDE
YOU INTO ALL TRUTH; FOR HE SHALL NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF, BUT WHATSOEVER HE
SHALL HEAR, THAT SHALL HE SPEAK; AND HE WILL SHEW YOU THINGS TO COME."
I HOPE, that as you read these scriptures, that you saw ALL of the PRESENT
TENSE words!! They don't say, will be in the future, PRESENT TENSE means
just that, RIGHT NOW. But, it also depends on IF WE will accept these
truths!! And another thing that some will not agree with, which is also ok,
is we keep putting everything off , with the words, "all in Father's time".
Well, if Father brought them to our attention, it must be HIS time for us to
pay attention to them . Seek Him. And allow Him to minister HIS REVELATION
on them, to us. HE is our Teacher and PASTOR, if we choose to have MAN doing
HIS WORK, then who is to blame for that? When HE shows us something, and we
take MAN'S reasoning of it, who is to blame for that? Where is OUR FOCUS?
Think about it. This is a growing process, are WE moving with the process,
or waiting on our "pastor" and "teachers" to say "it's time to move?"
Who has robbed us? A lot of that, we need to put on our own shoulders! Some
of us have been too lazy, too busy with other things, too unconcerned to sit
down, commit ourselves to study and time to listen to what Father wants to
say to us. A lot of the time, we're too busy telling HIM, what we WERE
taught by others!! We're trying to teach HIM HIS OWN WORD, in the opinion
of MAN!!
When I was in school, I did not like to study. There was always "more fun"
things to do. But when I accepted JESUS as my Saviour, I had no choice in
the matter, I HAD to study. I knew NOTHING about the Bible, and not very
much about Jesus. But, even way back then, when I started to study, some
questions came to my mind, about THINGS that Father spoke to me, just 2
months ago! But, as a babe in the Lord, back then, I thought as a babe,
things like: "if you LOVE the leaders", you didn't question the leaders
about any doubts that you might have, on what they were teaching. And,
anyway, "who am I that I should try to point out an error, from one who went
to seminary, and Father just revealed everything to?" "IF you LOVE the
pastor and teachers, you won't HURT THEIR FEELINGS, by acknowledging
something that FATHER is showing, and it's different from what THEY are
showing." But , soon I learned, all that they preached WASN'T from Father!
But, to make a long story, short, it was MY fault that I did not truly
believe that Father would teach, ME, just as quickly as He did anyone else,
whether they were a big preacher or not! But , THANKFULLY , Father did
start teaching me (and still is). But, you see, I had to commit my time, my
energy, and my desire and most of all my PRIORITY, before He would bring
forth truth to me.
Can we all say that we give the time to Father that He desires from us, so
that He can talk and teach us? Or do we depend on the MAN to do our studying
for us and tell us what is truth? Can we all say that we LOVE HIM enough,
that what HE TEACHS comes FIRST, above anyone? So, we need to look at
ourselves, and admit the truth, of our slothfulness, about NOT really
KNOWING what LOVE is, before we put ALL the blame on the churches. Yes, they
have done a great deal in the robbing , but WE allowed it!!
. As I took this before Father, and He said to me, "EVEN I have brought some
of this upon you, to teach you to come ONLY to ME, for learning. And know
this, My firstfruits ARE NOT BEING ROBBED, for they know My Voice and will
not follow another." Praise His Name!!
JEREMIAH 26:2-4 "THUS SAITH THE LORD; STAND IN THE COURT OF THE LORD'S HOUSE
AND SPEAK UNTO ALL THE CITIES OF JUDAH, WHICH COME TO WORSHIP IN THE LORD'S
HOUSE, ALL THE WORDS THAT I COMMAND THEE TO SPEAK UNTO THEM; DIMINISH NOT A
WORD."
When we go before Father and He tells us AGAIN, His truths, will we bring
forth , as He commands, and diminish not a Word? Or will we allow others'
opinions to sway us to think THEIR way? Or will we be afraid of "hurting
their feelings", because they have more experience than us? Or will our
priority be to the Lord, regardless of what we're called, or what is said
about us? HE COMES FIRST! And HE said, "diminish not a Word".
VERSE 3-4 "IF SO BE THEY WILL HEARKEN, AND TURN EVERY MAN FROM HIS EVIL,
THAT I MAY REPENT ME OF THE EVIL , WHICH I PURPOSE TO DO UNTO THEM BECAUSE
OF THE EVIL OF THEIR DOINGS. AND THOU SHALT SAY UNTO THEM, THUS SAITH THE
LORD, IF YE WILL NOT HEARKEN TO ME, TO WALK IN MY LAW, WHICH I HAVE SET
BEFORE YOU,.."
These verses show clearly that there IS and WILL BE a separating of the
brethren. I could list numerous verses telling and warning us to separate
ourselves from some brethren, but you can look those up. But, we are told to
NOT fellowship with those of false teachings. And ANYTHING that is not in
line with Father's teachings ARE false teachings. And some are saying , but
we are to love the brethren!! Yes, we are. But not with the love that we
know as love. We are to love them with the Love that comes from Father.
Father's Word tells us "that when we lay down with a harlot, we become ONE
with the harlot" (1 Cor 6:16). We may not have been aware of it, but, when
we sit and agree with brethren about what they teach, for the sake of
"showing love", or for the sake of "not hurting their feelings", we are
agreeing in their beliefs. And agreeing is covenanting! And that IS NOT
Father's kind of love.
In the next and probably last part of this study, I want to explain, exactly
what I mean when I say, "we have a part to do" in what must be done, in us;
instead of "waiting" for Father to do things that has already been done by
Him. I also want to talk a little about His Kind of Love.
to be continued....
Be blessed.
"One man manifesting Christ, is better than 100 men preaching about Him.
May Christ Manifest in You, Daily.
