  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

[FONT=Georgia, serif]Back to the the future...[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]In God we are not to look back on what was, we can't change what was. We can however hope in the future. Hope is Faith for tomorrow as faith is hope for today. What do you hope for?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Jesus sets my heart on faith for today, this leads me to hope for tomorrow. There is no point in just hoping for tomorrow if we fail faith today. Therefore, our focus must be the now the things we can change, learn faith and then we can go back to the future...[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]To hear the Lord speak, to hear His words speaking within your soul. Is it a dream or is it a fact? [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]If its a dream only then the Bible is a lie, but the Bible is no lie. Its a fact that Jesus can speak in Spirit to us. [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]But what would He say to you, what would you give ear to? [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Would you dismiss Him as a whim as if it was not Him calling to you. Would you dismiss the idea because you failed to understand the question.[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]Why do we place our knowledge above Gods Wisdom? [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Are we so smart that we can know Gods mind? [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Do we have all the answers about God? [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Have we opened our hearts to His very Will?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Can we place God in a box and pull Him out when it suits us.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Do we mould our lives around us or God?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Jesus said "[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif] When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif][/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif]For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif](Matthew 10:19-20 ESV)" Take a closer look at these words (For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ) Why do we say we trust God, but not trust in His words?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]Why is it hard to believe in the very words of Christ? Jesus said " [/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif]What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif](Matthew 10:27 ESV) " and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. Jesus said it yet we don't believe in His words. What happened to faith ? With all the key elements for testings ones works given by Christ we still don't trust in Him or have faith. Forget how you feel for now, how does Christ feel about that? [/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]Our Lord and Christ, the Master gives us a simple command and we can't follow it, what does that say of us.[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]Some have pre-conceved ideas on what I am saying, but in truth what I am saying is simple and true. Love God with all your heart not just a small part of it, the part we understand. God is above you, He is above me, if God so chooses He can make a donkey speak. God can part the waters, God can heal what we can't, God can do all things, things beyond our minds and understandings. Just because we fail to understand something in God does not mean its not so. If you feel God does not talk to us in Spirit or its not possible to hear Him, I have news for you. God can do all things... I for one will not limit God to my small understandings just because I fail to understand. [/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]How do we limit God ?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, serif]We limit God in every action and every turn we take, for sure we don't mean to, but still we do. We place God in our basket of understnadings and wonder why the sail on our Spiritual boat flaps about doing nothing. Our sails must catch the wind in order to set sail. [/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]Over the next few weeks, I will be talking about the above questions, I ask you to join in and share your questions and truthful answers to these questions. :prayer: Pray before you post...[/FONT]

I was talking to Jesus about what He has asked me to do. I said to the Lord "You want me to speak about these things, me. Who am I Lord that I could speak of these things to others, I fail in the small things of writting, I get who and how mixed up. Lord what could I say, how do I say it. Lord its like asking a blind man to show others how to walk around logs and rocks" The Lord said to me " Yes even so a blind man sees things others can't see. Show them how to see".


So we talked and talked, I was not ready to open my mouth, not ready to do what was asked of me, the Lord saw my fear and said to me "Raymond, why do you fear? You yourself hear in ways other just dream about, is it not right to give food to the hungry. Feed my sheep, show them I have been waiting for them to turn to me and be healed. Tell them to seek me, tell them to open the ears of their hearts".


I can tell you I speak better than I write, yet the Lord has asked me to write, Yes it makes no sence to me, but if the Lord said write, then write I must. Brave words from someone who is scared to write. I have to trust in what the Lord tells me, even if I fail to know why.


So I asked the Lord "What should I write today that can help feed your sheep?" The Lord sat in silence, yet I could feel Him by my side, its was as if He was in prayer, something I learnt from Him, to pray for all things before acting. The Lord said to me "Raymond, before we start, let it be known that I will act when one is in truth, in truth all can be acheived. My hands are tied if error is active. If I act while one is in error, that one will live in error all their life following what they think is righteousness. My hand must be withdrawn if one is in error, therefore if you fail to hear, heal, learn and grow, know and understand you must seek me in other ways. When one seeks, it means to look here and look there until the truth is found, upon finding the truth it will set you free to all that is".


I understand the meaning of what the Lord was saying to me, for me I had to look and look again. It took me some time to work out what was going on. Many human things to overcome, these human things will prevent you from finding this truth. Yet I know reading this now some may ask, is it another truth or what is the truth. From my findings there is only one truth, His. Not mine and not any church group regardless how good they look or sound. The truth is the information one recieves in Spirit from the Holy Spirit, Spirituality. Let me also say, I am not saying leave your church group, I am saying seek Christ as the Living Christ and learn from the Master via the Holy Spirit, Spirituality and help your brothers and sisters in your group to see and hear in Spirit, Spirituality.


To hear Jesus in the Spirit, Spirituality. Does this make me special? No, I am just a bloke like any other bloke. Am I a prophet, well I would say yes. But my understanding of a prophet is this, one who hears God in Spirit, Spirituality and talkes back to God. But according to Christ thats what all of us are called to do. So really I have no use for names, its pointless. I am just a Brother in Christ as He commanded us, "You are all brothers" see Matthew 23:8


For me the main theme of my calling is to make people look at themselves and check their walk in Him or as Jesus said "Remind them to abide in My commands." Now in truth, its not important to say I am Catholic or I am a Baptist, however it is important to say I am a Christian, full stop. What is a Christian? One who seeks Jesus with all their heart, mind and body, those that give ear to His words, written or spoken.


So I asked the Lord for some daly bread, food we often don't eat. I was not asking for the food most of us eat everyday, quoted Scriptures and knowledge. The Lord gives to those who ask, this is what I asked for, I pray it helps you understand.

Lord, I pray you keep me strong in you, I walk in fear of not doing your will or overlooking your way. I pray you keep me strong. Lord my life is dead without you, without you I am in hell, you alone Lord are my light and my life, you lead me to your way and teach me in Spirit, Spirituality. Lord the gifts you bless me with are more than I deserve. Lord I ask not for me, but for my Brothers and Sisters in the world all seeking you and your light in the only way they know. Lord we are all lost sheep and all of us desire to come to you in Spirit, Spirituality. Lord let me be your tool, the capenters hammer in the hands of the Master. Put me to work, guide me towords the nail and drive it hard into the hearts of men.


The Lord said to me "Speak of Love, love them when you speak of my Love for them. Tell them of my pain hanging on the cross of Hope, hope for all mankind. The cross of Hope, never have the ears of men heard these words. What hope comes from such pain. If one turns to me in Spirit and is healed, this is the Hope of the Cross, that all come to me and recieve the cross of hope in their hearts. Share the pain, share the joy. The pain of you not hearing my words is far greater than the pain on the cross."


Lord, I can only write so fast, you have to slow down in order for me to write or I will forget what you said to me.


The Lord said "Raymond, it is not possible, I will just tell you again. So worry not about your writting. Raymond, speak of the things of the Spirit, its meaning and why it holds the key to the gate. What is life to you? 85 years and then death? What is life in Spirit, endless. Why spend your time working at your human life of 85 years yet spend little or no time on the Spiritual life that is endless? You can read my word with human wisdom, but what does this give you? What reward awaits for you? Read my words in Spirit, Spirituality seek me for answers, its I not man that reveals the truth to you. Did i not speak to Paul in prison, did I not speak to John, did I not come to them and speak of my ways. You to are my disciples, I will speak to you if you have ears to hear. Do not think I have left you as orphans, sheep without a shepherd. You think Paul and John are special that only these special ones hear, no. Paul and John are men just like any other human these men suffered the same doubts you do, the same pain as you do. Why do people place men on such high pedestals, is it because you feel you can't acheive what they have, how wrong you are. Is it because you lack faith or have you just lost your way in human beliefs. People wake up from your sleep, you are Paul, you are Peter, you are my people and I am so in love with you. You have built up walls based on the fear of men, walls that keep me out, walls that keep you away from me. Let no man deceive you, It is written "By the friuts you shall know" Why live in fear when I told you beforehand. Men judge not by the fruit but by the level of knowledge they have as if they have the truth. In all things look for the fruits first, then you will see clearly enough the truth before you."


I said to the Lord "Lord why do people place their wisdom above your wisdom, who told them they could do this?"
The Lord said to me "Some men try to do the right thing, others do it for selfgain, Raymond, did you know some men create special rituals, they think it makes me happy. What makes me happy is the truth being told to my people. I don't desire rituals, I desire your love. I have angles in heaven that can preform rituals if I require them. Is it not written, "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. So when you pray speak from the heart, as though I am in the same room with you and not far away. Why would you feel I am far from you, I am with you until the end.
The wisdom of men is the down fall of Christians, Only One is your Father, only one is your teacher, only one instructs you, you are all brothers and sisters. Not one of you greater than another or less than another or have you forgotten the story of the vineyard, some worked all day in the heat some work only a few hours and some just an hour, yet all were paid the same. To me what counts is that you come to me, not how long you have been with me. Or have you forgotten the story of the lamb that strayed, the shepherd left the ninty nine in the feild to fine the one that got away. I tell you in all truth, when one turns to me all heaven watches with hope and love."


I said "Lord I can sit here all day hearing you speak to me, its wonderful i feel this feeling in me that makes me feel funny, I can't explain it in words."


The Lord said "That is the Spirit in you jumping with joy, it is a power beyond your control, harness this feeling and make it grow within and you will say to this mountain move here and it will move. You have so much to learn and so much to see, what a blessing for your eyes and ears, to see things others dream about. Oh how i wished they would turn to me and see as you have.


I said "Lord, many think they have turned to you and just as many think they have the answers, how do I tell them what you share with me"


The Lord said" The fire on the earth burns for just a short time, once the trees are burned the flames go out, yet the flame deep within the earth burns hot forever. You people are like this earth, many think the flame in them is the flame deep within, yet in truth its the flame on the earth only. You must find the deep flames within you. I spoke of this before, many wash the outside first to seem to others they are clean, yet its the inside that needs to be put right first. These ones are cheap gold, with grit in them, they have not been purified with fire. I have spoken about this gold in revelations, but this is something we will look into later."

In the last couple of days, I have spent time thinking about the things you are saying here and in your other posts, and I've been looking at my own relationship with the Lord. I know that He talks to me (or to my spirit) and could quote specific things that He has told and/or revealed to me in the past, however, often I can not hear His voice and it makes me sad.
As I pondered these questions, I was led to John Chapter 10 where Jesus said three times that the sheep listen to His voice and they know His voice. That is an amazing piece of scripture! I asked Him, "You said that we would know your voice, but I am not sure. How can I know it is your voice?" and this is the answer I got, 'When it comforts, corrects and instructs, then it is my voice". It's short but so helpful for me. Kind of like a plumbline.
I also learned that my spirit is often not ready to hear because I have a habit of talking to myself in my mind. There's always some form of conversation or rehearsal of what I am going to say or should have said, etc. going on inside of my head. I have done this all of my life, and it may take the rest of it to unlearn that....
Thanks for posting. It inspires in me a deeper desire for the Lord's guideance in everything.

SolaVeritas 'When it comforts, corrects and instructs, then it is my voice". This sounds like the voice I hear too. I think He has a lot of corrections to make, this is why so many miss out on hearing Him. Many can't stand being corrected by Him.

I am so glad you hear the words and see between the lines. When it comes to my mind and thoughts, I just close it down because it never is as good as hearing Him.

Kira Light "Thanks, we are glad you enjoyed this.

I said to the Lord "Lord, forgive me if I am out of line, but some believe they have the truth about you, I mean all your truth. What would I say to them without making them stumble in you."


The Lord said "Raymond, for a long time now, men have been disecting my words to suit their understandings. If it does not fit into their interlect, it must be wrong. Their boasting will be a huge wieght around their necks when they fail to answer Spiritually the Spiritual questions asked. It is written "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." Therefore let them alone with their wisdom, continue in what I tell you and leave them to me. My words are saving those that seek to be saved, focus on those ones seeking to be saved. You cannot see in Spirit if your lamp is low on oil, the wise ones have fallen asleep and have not bought oil enough with them. But you know the oil and its worth, you know the lamp and the flame from the lamp".


I said to the Lord" Lord, these wise ones don't believe me when I say I talk to you and hear you speaking back to me, they can't believe I hear as clear as I do, what can I say to them about that?"


The Lord said " Raymond, how long have we had a relationship for now."


I said "over 20 years now I think."


The Lord said "21 years, 4 months 18 days 19 hours 45 minutes and 36 seconds, not that I am counting. Let me give you my truth, in religion it can take up to 7 years to become a preist, in me it can take a month or two. Why so little time you are thinking, thats because truth stays after it spoken, lies have to be remembered. Do not worry about who believes and who does not believe, just focus on you, do you believe. For as long as you believe, you will receive. Now enough of you and them, focus on us, not them. Just speak as i tell you and forget what they think. "


I said " You'r e right Lord, you're so right, sorry, its funny how we focus on the wrong things, I am so sorry"
The Lord said "Raymond, you don't have to be sorry, learning is making mistakes. You make a mistake and you learn from it, from something bad comes something good. I love taking the bad things and making something good from it. Let us just focus on what needs to be said, let the wheat and the weeds grow side by side, when the time comes we will see what we see. Raymond I believe there are some who desire to know how we talk and how you hear, is it not right to give to those that seek. Then let us speak of the way you hear and the relationship we have."


I said " Lord, I would not know where to start, what words could use that explains it"


The Lord said " The truth would be good place to start, let me speak and you write what you hear. Some find it hard to believe that I would speak to Raymond, why you find this hard to believe says a lot about your condition, remember Matthew 7 before you think. I will tell you about Raymond.
This man, has placed me before his family, his life, his hopes, his dreams. There is not one thing he puts before me even money. Raymond sold his house, used his money to write a book as he believed it would sell. When i told him to give it away for free, what do you think he said. This was all his money not just a little, all his money. He said yes, it just money. When I ask him to go here, he goes, when I ask him to do this he does it. Yes Raymond knows little scripture, but his heart is huge for me. Raymond will not even read a scripture until I say its alright to read. In all things he rests in me and waits upon me. He does not think about what he reads in the bible, he just believes it as truth, he does not question the word nor does he argue the word, he just drinks it in. He seeks me at every turn, and can talk for hours. Raymond did not pray to me in churches before many people, he just went home and prayed in his room. For 19 years he keep my word in him until I told him to speak. So much more, that is between him and I, so why would I not speak to him. In him is a faith so old, a faith not seen in this day and age. Its his faith that made him well, this faith is worth learning if you seek the truth. I speak to him in Spirit, Spiritually he grows in me. His spirit is powered in my Spirit, Spiritually. Raymond has much to learn, but if it were a race he would be in first place. Raymond knows its not what you can do for me, its what i can do for you. Humanity runs around doing things for me, thinking they have done well. If you wish to do well, let me do things for you. The first thing I would teach you is this, rest and know that I am.. I am here for you, I am your Light, I am life, I am the way. I am your shield why do you not put me on.
Dress yourselves in the white garments of Spirit, Learn from me for I am gentle and my load is light. I did not come to condem, but to teach and save, to love, therefore continue in my work, do not condem, but love and grow in Spirituality. Condemnation will come to those in my time not yours. Yes I speak to Raymond, yes he hears my words, we have a relationship as spoken about, you can to if you would only turn to me and be healed. Do not use knowedge of me, use your heart, feel me, live me, trust in me, have faith in me, as i have faith in you. You have my written word, trust in it, its milk for babies, grow in me and take the solid foods in Spirituality, my spoken words in your heart."

The Lord said to me "Today lets us read and talk about my commands, what I asked all to do. "


I opened the Bible to Matthew it fell open at Matthew 3, my eyes went to 3:7. The Lord said "Read this until I say stop, it speaks of John and what he saw" So I read this scripture.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. "I baptize you with water for 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 fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
(Matthew 3:7-12 ESV)
After reading the Lord said to me "Very little has changed from that time until now, yes they say things in my name but their hearts are far from me. Many now say that they have me as thier King, yet they do not treat me as a King. My commands are not kept, my words are use against others as a whip. Yes the axe is laid to the root of the trees, bear good fruit. But were does the fruit come from? The fruit comes from the every center of your being, like the sap within the tree, it travels the whole plant filling it with the life giving Spirit. From this, good fruit comes and many eat of it and grow. Many have been baptised with water, but have failed to be baptised in the Spirit and fire. Why? Because men cannot baptise you in Spirit and fire, nor can you find this out from men. You must come to me in Spirit and truth, you must surrender to me all things and become a new being in me. Until you do this, I myself can do nothing. Like the Pharisees and Sadducees way back then, how men have become them teaching religion as a saving grace but fail in the deeper truth that saves souls. Teach them not to look to men, teach them to look to me. It is true of this generation, they teach belief as faith, belief is just knowledge of men yet faith is knowing me. Belief comes from study, faith comes from trusting. Seek your truth from within yourselves, ask, seek and knock. Trust in my word, give it action in your lives.


What do you think? (please note: The Lord said this to me but it was easier to paste it in) "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
(Matthew 7:13-14 ESV)
How easy is it to study and remember, to quote from memory and how many do this. Yet learning from the Spirit, Spiritually is hard and few find it. Yet men fail to see this because the vail is over their eyes, only in Spirit can this vail be lifted, to see the secerts hidden for you, not from you.
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. You fail in hearing my written word, how then will you hear my spoken word. If your eyes have been plucked out how will you see? Ask for healing, let me restore your sight, let me come to you and heal your sight and hearing."


The Lord said after a small wait" Bear fruit in keeping with repentance, learn what this means. Do not look to men, look to me. Have you not read 'Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty' what if you look at a man who had thirty, what manor of truth will you recieve? Or 'But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money' Again what manor of truth will you recieve. Do not gamble on the unknown levels in man, rather look to me and recieve the full measure in Spirit, Spiritually. There are blind guides amoung you, if the blind lead the blind both will fall into the pit. There is descension amoung my people, people are leaving because of man made knowledge interfering with my word, teaching error as truth. What punishment awaits for them, to lead one in error teaching them to overlook my word that saves lives and rest in man made knowledge is murder of the souls.
They teach error as to keep numbers, they change my law to find new members, they teach against what I have commanded in order to look good before men. They are Pharisees and Sadducees locking the door that leads to life, I am watching and keeping account, how do you expect to get away with your crimes."
