For a long time I have been preaching that NOW is the time for Christians to get serious about their Faith and to be obedient and do the work Christ has called each of us to do.
There is more to this statement then I first saw and understood.
What a word Gerry. After talking with the Lord, towards the end of our conversation He gave to me a deeper understanding of this. Not only am I in total agreement with this request before our Lord but that we all come to understand we cannot be taking lightly our christianity. We must act NOW
I was sitting there and in the spirit I was lying on a flat surface of some kind. When I went to proceed and move forward and to go, from the flat surface arose what looked like a rock. If I didn't move, the surface was flat. If I moved to go the rock would come forth out of the flat surface to block me off. The more I moved against it the larger It became.
I said to the Lord, this rock stands in my way. It resists my progress in you. I then asked Him to crush the rock to bits because It stood against Him.
He who has an ear let Him hear what the spirit says to the church.
Obey the Lord. There will come a time when great things will rise up and you will act upon them. The more you act on them the more it will rise to stand in your way. But the Lord of Heaven has seen you prayer and will come down from the Heavens with the voice of the arch angel and will smash the rock that stands arrogantly against you. I am the Lord who Is and was and who is to come.
Let Him who has an ear, see what I saw that no man add to the word written here but that which is of the spirit of the church. And we all agreed, Amen.
Tho we did not see, we saw, we saw what we did not see and asked what is it that we just saw that we may see more. For more is the Word and the word is not always clear but my Word stands forever. Let him who has wisdom see what is written here that they may know I am the Lord of heaven. I am in him who writes these words speak not against the Holy Spirit of the Living God lest I come and crush your arrogance to pieces. I am He who kindles the flame of life and death let no man or sin stand before me says the Lord of Host.
I said to the Lord, let not that which prevents your word from going forth stand in your way, but crush it according to your way and not my own way that I may be healed, for I am them who stand before you. You rise up oh Lord and we submit not. Now help us to submit to you, that we may not become apart of that which stands arrogantly before you. Let our word be your word and our will be your will and let us rise against that which arrogantly resists you.
The Lord said to me "my way is not your way, do you see this". I thought for a moment and responded to Him " I understand that your way is not my way, but that which is in me stands against you, crush the rock that stands before you arrogantly that my way may be your way. The Lord said to me "Shall I crush Myself?". I realized there was more meaning to what I saw then I understood. I said to the Lord " this is perplexing, I want to know the meaning, show me how to proceed". I heard a voice which spoke with many voices and one of the voices said "I will." Another voice said "come follow me". I knew this to be the voice of the One who speaks with many voices. I said to the Lord "I am hungry for more, feed me". "Make my "I" your "I" and let us be made as one in understanding." I then said to myself I know He will bring this about for it is His will.
Glory, and Honor and Praise to the Son of the Living God Jesus Christ our Lord.
I write this because I wish to learn and share with my brothers and sisters. We cannot share with one another if we have petty greivances, jeolousy or misunderstandings. We cannot become stronger in Knowledge of our Lord without one another. The truth of what Gerry has written is deep in meaning and intent. We must obey the Lord. Thank you Gerry for what you started in this thread.
Feed us your word Lord, I'm starved.
