The Door Is Locked!

Wake up and unlock the door!

 

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! OPEN TO ME MY LOVE! DO YOU SENSE YOUR HEART POUNDING INSIDE YOUR CHEST? DO YOU SENSE HIS PASSION FOR YOU? OPEN TO ME! MY LOVE! I LOVE YOU!

 

Jesus will not remove the lock that He gave us for our own protection. Our will is our choice. We must remove the lock that is on the inside of the door of our heart. Our will must be removed, if He is going to come in and take us!

 

THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE SCRIPTURE WHERE THIS WORD "LOCK" IS FOUND. IT MEANS A "BOLT" OR SHOULD I SAY A "DEAD BOLT" If we don't surrender our will we will die. Remember the One that is on the otherside of the door is our LIFE! Christ is our Life! He is on the otherside of the "DEAD BOLT".

 

DO YOU TRULY LOVE HIM?

 

The word Knock here is not a love tap. This is not just a casual knock. This is the word for RAPPING! He is RAPPING ON THE DOOR! HIS VOICE IS RAPPING! HE IS SAYING OPEN THE DOOR! OPEN THE DOOR! LET ME IN! OPEN TO ME MY LOVE! IT'S ME! IT'S ME YOUR HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM! I AM COME TO GET YOU! I AM COME TO TAKE YOU! WAKE UP! HE HAS BEEN OUT THERE ALL NIGHT LONG AND NOW THE SUN IS GONG TO BE COMING UP! JUST BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP, HE WITHDRAWS HIMSELF. IT's Almost The DAY of the LORD! JOY COMES IN THE MORNING! THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUNESS IS GOING ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS! HE WITHDREW HIMSELF SO SHE WOULD WAKE UP AND RUN AFTER HIM! She is saying WAIT! WAIT LORD! WAIT FOR ME! DON'T GO! SHE CAN HEAR HIS VOICE, HER SOUL FAILS WHEN SHE HEARS HIS VOICE. HE DOES NOT GIVE HER AN ANSWER! WHY? BECAUSE HE IS THE ANSWER! FIND HIM AND YOU HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. The thousands of questions that you thought you needed answers to are no longer an issue. He is all we need! HE IS ALL I NEED! HE IS MY ANSWER! HE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OF LIFES QUESTIONS! HE IS THE ANSWER TO THE TEST! CHOOSE HIM AND YOU WILL PASS THE TEST WITH FLYING COLORS! DONT JUST CHOOSE 30% of HIM or 60% of HIM CHOOSE 100% of HIM! HE IS OUR ALL IN ALL! OUR ONE AND ONLY! OUR HEARTS ARE LOVE SICK FOR HIM! WE ARE SICK IN LOVE WITH HIM! WE ARE SICK UNTO DEATH IF WE CAN'T HAVE HIM! WE WILL DIE WITHOUT HIM!

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 

Son 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

If we are going to prevail and overcome we must loose our own will. We must overcome EVEN as He overcame.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

Surrendering Our Stubburn Wills

Song 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

Two words I would like to deal with here.

Handles - The handles is connected to the dead bolt lock. The handles is a very strong and stubborn bar.

Lock (Dead Bolt) - The lock is connected to the handles. The handles must be lifted and removed for the lock or dead bolt to be removed. Spiritually speaking the our STUBBORN WILLS must be removed before the door can be open to our hearts. Due to the fallen nature our wills have become STUBBORN. GOD is not going to violate our wills. We must humble ourselves and surrender our wills willingly. This is something we do. It's our choice. It does not matter if God choices an individual, this individual must be willing to obey. Example Saul of Tarsus. It was not enough that God chose Saul to be a chosen vessel to bear His Name before he Gentiles, Paul still had to agree with God. Same with anyone else. God has done everything He is going to do. Now it's up to us to surrender to His will for our life.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Son 6:1 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

He is waiting for you in the GARDEN! NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE! Are you willing to give up your will for His will?

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

TRUTH ALWAYS BRINGS SEPERATION

Did you know that the word division is only found six times in the whole Bible? We will look at a few of these Scriptures below.

First a few questions:

Are you willing to be divided, from those that reject and fall away, from the Truth in this hour? Will you stand for Jesus who is the Truth? John 14:6 Will you follow afar off and warm yourself with the fire of the World in this Hour? The Hour of Temptation is coming upon us! Rev 3:10 Will you stand for Truth or will you compromise the Truth in fear of offending someone? You must understand, that the Truth always, divides and separates the good from the evil. It's not us that does the dividing it's the Truth of God's Word. You will be hated and persecuted for the Truth. Are you ready to stand for Truth with a pure heart? If what you believe brings division from what the majority want then you will be called a troublemaker. Remember Ahab called Elijah a troublemaker. Are you willing to be called worse than a troublemaker? Are you willing to be persecuted for His righteousness sake? Matthew 5:10

Exo 8:23 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.

We know that Antichrist will come and bring a false Peace
Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
John 7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
John 10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

Conclusion of the Matter:

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
I hope your choice is the same as our choice.
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD

A Falling Away First From Truth

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 
He Gave Them Their Desire
The Falling Away First that we see in Scripture 2Th 2:3, is not referring to those that would stop going to Church, as much as it is speaking concerning, those that would fall away from the Truth of God's Word. Their are many in this hour that think they are going to see many people stop going to Church. However many will still fill the Apostate Churches, they just won't fill the true House of Bread. The Churches that still have life giving bread are churches that hold to the Truth. These are churches that teach separation from the world and sin. Many in this hour are turning their ears away from the Truth, only to have their ears tickled by the Apostate Church of this hour. God is giving them their desire even as he gave Israel their desire. God gave them quail until in was literally coming out of their nostrils. He gave them their desire, however He sent LEANNESS into their souls. As I personally sat in a church service, listening to a minister of the Gospel on Sunday morning, he was preaching concerning the Word of God being our Sword. He went on to say, that we should only use the KJV Bible and that all other translations were not inspired of the Holy Ghost. He told us to lift our Bible over our heads and to repeat after him that our Bibles were are our Sword. He mentioned how that he had just got back from visiting the largest Christian book store in the United States. He said the place was wall to wall books about the Bible however their was only one little tiny section for the Bible itself. When he said that, The Spirit spoke to me and said, "It's just quail." The Lord was telling me, that all these books that men are writing about the Bible, are just going to feed the flesh. Remember God gave them their desire. However He sent leanness into their souls. Psalms 78:26-31 
Charismatic Movement
Many are settling for this Charismatic spirit in this hour. They make all kinds of noise in their meetings, only to leave empty. It's just noise! Joshua heard a noise at the bottom of the Mountain and thought it was the sound of war. Moses the Man of God that was just with God and receiving the Ten Commandments from God, was told by God exactly what was going on down at the bottom of the Mountain. God told Moses, "They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Ex 32:8  Many today think the sound that is heard in the Charismatic Churches is the Holy Spirit. This spirit that has come to corrupt people in this hour and even God's own people is not the Holy Spirit. The sound that is heard in these Charismatic churches is not the sound of those being moved on by the Holy Ghost. This is the spirit of Antichrist that is masquerading around like it's the real when it is without doubt an unclean spirit. It's a seducing spirit and it's working with devils that are teaching heresies and even teaching people to deny the Lord Jesus Christ. If the message you are hearing in any church is not separation from the World, Sin, Flesh and Satan then it's not the Holy Spirit. The Truth always separates from the False. 
False Unity
The spirit today that is calling all denominations together is not the Holy Spirit. This is the spirit of Antichrist. The only unity that the Scriptures teach is the Unity of the Brethren, The unity of the Spirit and the Unity of the Faith. This true unity is not for true believers to gather themselves together with unbelievers. You have forgotten the Scripture from the Apostle Paul, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:14 
 True Biblical Unity 
I. Unity of The Brethren -  Psa 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 
II. Unity of The Spirit - Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 
III. Unity of The Faith - Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 
A Strong Warning!
I strongly warn you as the Lord has given me commandment. Beware of this false unity and come out from among them. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:17

Forgiven But Not Changed

Scripture teaches us that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord the same shall be saved. Romans 10:13 We know that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and that our sins are forgiven us at that time. However forgiveness of sin is what Jesus does by His blood for us through faith. Now we must forgive others with the same forgiveness and compassion that the Lord has had on us.

"Now we must forgive others with the same forgiveness and compassion that the Lord has had on us."

Jesus spoke a parable about a servant that owned a great debt insomuch that he could not pay the debt at the time it was due. He begged his lord to have patience with him and that he would pay the debt and his lord was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave his debt that he owed. His lord did not even expect him to pay it back. Now that is true forgiveness! However this same servant went out and about strangled a man that owned him some money. The man fell down and begged him to have patience with him and that he would pay him all that he owned. However the lender did not have the same compassion on his fellow-servant. His lord found out about how he treated this man and was angry with him and delivered him over to the tormentors. The tormentors were those that inflicted punishment upon the guilty. Jesus said, this is how the Father will do with us if we do not forgive every man his brother. The tormentors are demons that God will allow to torment us until we forgive everyone from our heart. From the heart is the key.  We see that the servant that was forgiven his debt, was forgive but he was not changed! Matt 18:23-35

"We see that the servant that was forgiven his debt was forgive but he was not changed!"

His heart never changed. He was forgiven but he was not thankful! If we are changed by God's love and compassion this will be evident in how we treat others. Jesus told us Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Matt 5:7 I believe their are many of God's people today that have been forgiven by the Lord and they are saved, they have been born again by the Spirit however they still have not been changed by God's love and grace. They continue to harbor un-forgiveness and bitterness in their hearts and think they won't have to admit it. Well God has some tormentors just for you that will cause you to come clean. Remember these tormentors are sent by God and allowed to torment you until you have admitted your fault and come clean. God does not want to hear your side of it. He does not take sides. He only commands you to forgive and you will be forgiven. You see if you don't forgive from your heart everyone that has ever hurt you then God the Father will not forgive you! This aught to awaken you friend. Matt 6:15

Cleanse Me From Secret Faults

Cleanse Me From Secret Faults

Psa 19:12

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Psa 51:2  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Jer 33:8  And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

A defect or imperfection; flaw; failing: a fault in one's character.

I. A fault is something that I have done. It was my fault. A secret fault is something that I have done and I am ashamed of it and keep it hidden. The Lord knows it’s there. He wants to cleanse me and make me whole. A secret fault is a flaw in a person’s character. Usually these flaws or faults do not reveal themselves unless they are touched upon. In other words they are triggered by a word or a deed. They are not an action they are usually a reaction to what someone has said or done. This fault must be brought to the Light. Once the fault is revealed it must be admitted to and confessed so it can be cleansed. Secret faults may often times be something that is so buried beneath the surface that it’s very painful to want to deal with it. It will take Gods love to deal with it. Because of the shame we don’t want to admit it’s there but when the Lord shows us that he does not condemn us for it we are more willing to let Him help us. Jesus does not want to hurt us He wants to help us. Love covers a multitude of sin. Also another reason Christians don’t want to deal with secret faults is because we know that we hurt the Lord when we did it. This requires receiving the Lords forgiveness.  Remember the Lord hurts when we hurt and the Lord hurts when we have hurt someone else. So the wrongful act that we committed is against the Lord. This is one of the most painful parts of the cleansing process. We hurt the Lord. We did not just hurt just anyone we hurt our loving Father. He loves everyone! The Lord does not take sides. This is one of the most important parts of the healing process due to the fact that when there is a fault we are usually not quick to admit it was our fault so we are looking for someone to agree with us that we were justified for what we did. However the Lord does not take sides and commands everyone to repent and forgive.

Antonym – Without blame or blameless, guiltless, innocent

Judges 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Following For The Fishes And Loaves

Just as the multitudes followed Jesus for only the monetary gain (fishes and loaves) so today they are still following only for the same reason. This article is not to offend however I am certain it will offend many, it's not my intention to offend deliberately. Let's face it though the majority do not want to hear the Truth today. They followed Jesus for the miracles of healing and deliverance from sicknesses but they did not want to hear about how they could be free from sin. Sin is the problem in the world today and Jesus is the answer.

Sin is the destroying force that very few want to talk about. Some will talk about religion however only on a nonchalant level. But to talk about being free from the cancer of sin is the furthest thing from their minds. It is my objective to get the reader to THINK. I am not interested in giving people an emotional feeling so they can feel good about themselves, it's my objective to stop the reader in their tracks if at possible and get them to really to THINK! If Jesus were on the earth today and He was working miracles, would you follow for the miracles or would you follow because you wanted to know Him?

Even the majority of the Church (world) today does not have a living experience of knowing Jesus Christ. They have a form of religion but that about as far as they will go. Jesus did not say the religious would go to heaven, He said the born again would. Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. He said many would say unto Him on that day Lord, Lord. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Jesus said, Many not few would call him Lord but did they know Him? Apparently not. Jesus said, I NEVER KNEW YOU.

They offered him lip service but their hearts were far from Him. Even Judas offered Jesus lip service. Judas kissed Jesus to give the Roman soldiers a sign who Jesus was, so they could arrest him. You see lip service will ultimately end in betrayal of the Son of God.

Life is more than about just money is it not? If money is the focus of our happiness then that's only temporal and will leave us when money is not there. What is true happiness? I leave you with this question to ponder. Are you truly happy? If so, why? Again, are you truly happy? Allow the light of the His word to work in your hearts. Let the light of this article come into your heart and expose your true motives. Remember it's the Truth that makes you free!

Almost Persuaded But Deceived By Virtual Reality

Join me as we do a drill down of several words to get a proper understanding of the meaning behind the words Virtual Reality.

We read in the Scripture about a certain king in the Scripture, his name Agrippa. On one occasion he said unto the Apostle Paul, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." Like king Agrippa, their are many in the valley of decision. In fact the Scripture says, "multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision." You might have found the title to this article interesting, and with good reason. When I looked up this word "Virtual" I found that it was a Greek word meaning "ALMOST". Virtual (Latin virtus; Greek ἀρετή "arete") is moral excellence. A virtue is a trait or quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Now lets look at the word "almost". The word "Almost" means In set theory, when dealing with sets of infinite size, the term almost or nearly is used to mean all the elements except for finitely many.

In other words, an infinite set S that is a subset of another infinite set L, is almost L if the subtracted set L\S is of finite size. Now lets look at the word "theory." To do this we will have to look at the contrast for the word "FACTS". But before we do that we will need to understand what a fact is. The word fact can refer to verified information about past or present circumstances or events which are presented as objective reality. In science, it means a provable concept. What this is saying is that a theory is not a fact it's "ALMOST" factual but it's not. In other words it misses the mark. A fact can be proven, but a theory cannot be. It's always evolving and changing. Remember what Jesus said, I am the same today, yesterday and forever." God says "I change not." So what man basis his reality on is aways changing and evolving. No certain destination. How would you like to go on a trip or vacation and the pilot speaks up over the intercom and says, we will be landing NEVER? This is basically what man is doing. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, man has been a vagabond with no certain destination. Remember at the beginning of this article I said Virtual meant to miss the mark? Did you know that the word Hamartiology (Greek: ἁμαρτία, hamartia, "missing the mark," "sin," + -λογια, -logia, "sayings" or "discourse") is the branch of Christian theology, more specifically, systematic theology, which is the study of sin with a view to articulating a doctrine of it. So in conclusion everyone that is living in virtual reality is living in sin. The wages of payment for sin is DEATH. Pay day is coming! The Lord says "I set before you Life and Death, choose LIFE!

Philanthropy Addicted To Giving: But Is it enough?

There seems to be a new trend in these days among the wealthy of this world. They have everything they ever wanted but they are still not content. They turn to philanthropy and even become addicted to this wonderful privilege, however is it enough? They are known to be the greatest charity givers but is it enough? Jesus said, Mar 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Jesus was the greatest of all philanthropists.

Take a look at this Scripture. Act 10:38  "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."

The word good in this passage of Scripture is the word "philanthropy".


yoo-erg-et-eh'-o
From G2110; to be philanthropic: - do good.

Question:  How was Jesus the greatest of all philanthropists? Obviously it was not by giving money. Though the harlot TV evangelists want to say Jesus was rich, this cannot be backed up by the Scripture. So how was Jesus the greatest of all philanthropists? The answer is, it's not about giving money, it's about giving and going about doing good. The word good also means honest. So a true philanthropist is also honest. Honest means truthful and transparent. Last but not least, if we are giving to be noticed or to be seen it's not honest giving. To be a true philanthropist we must be like Jesus Christ.

Google Goes Down And Causes Global Panic?

Google goes down and causes a Global panic???? This is so sad. What would happen if the Internet went down? I believe that if this was to happen it would cause a Global depression and without question seriously effect the Global economy. I think if the Internet went down it would be a blessing!!!! People would be able to get back to reality again. At least to some degree. The internet has done so much damage to the Church that it seems it's been almost a curse. I think it's time to leave our Internet s behind and follow Jesus. I am willing! Are you? I would like to hear your comments on this.
