Biblical and other support for those Hurting badly!

[Tempura]

Thanks for that. I love it. That got me reading some psalms.

I really like this part from P.116:

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.


The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!”

The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, he saved me.

Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.

For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.

I trusted in the Lord when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
in my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”

What shall I return to the Lord
for all his goodness to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.

 

[Jeshu]

Psalm 84
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

The way to the Lord can be very hard, though if we bring it to the Lord then we, make such a place a place of springs. When we pass through the Valley of weeping - which signifies the Valley of Baka. The Valley of mourning is an essential part to appear before God in Zion.

First of all it is a spiritual journey, we go in our hearts on a pilgrimage to Zion.

Firstly we set our sight firmly on appearing before the Lord.
Secondly? Satan pulls all strings to hinder us in our quest! He throws all our sins after us to either catch us or to cast us with guilt, usually both.
However what happens when satan does that?

Revelation 12:15-16
Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins and we find our rescue in the blood of Christ. This means we mourn our sins and short-comings, when we go through the valley of Baka.

Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

This mourning could be compared to stabs in the heart, heart rendering, deepest grief. For sin is terrible and so often all we want is His good life and we nicely hold onto our bad life, I know I'm often guilty of doing that.

However bad life doubts the truth of God and doesn't believe in all the 'holy, holy' stuff, and not only that, when it really comes to it, bad life fears the truth of God, for in it we know that we are guilty of crucifying the son of God time and again without pity or remorse.

This is what Jesus has to say about this 'generation' within us.
Luke 14:23-24
Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”

Can you see the division again? the lame, blind, diseased and rejected enter the feast, but often those invited do not enter the feast. See also Hebrews 3 and 4.

However despite this inner weeding out process the chosen in us go through the Valley of Baka and meet up with Jesus ruling from Zion who in turn will take them up to meet the Father.


Psalm 84
Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.

Now it is essential at this stage to understand that God is love, so only in The Spirit of truthful love can we be touched by God. Love for God is the essential ingredient we need to get over the great divide.

Joshua 22:5
But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

However if our faith in Jesus is genuine then we easily survive such a pruning of our spirit. No one compares to God, He is unspeakably good so good that it will set off a series of thunderclaps reverberating through our whole inner being.

I hope you will go to Him even Today and enter His eternal rest.

Psalm 84:10-12
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.

 

[Jeshu]

Ephesians 6:10-12
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I think it is very important to understand that we don't fight against people or their schemes but against satan and his henchmen. Our battle is a spiritual battle which takes place within our hearts and minds and not against people not even our own flesh. Rather let us serve God with our flesh and in all things give Him thanks remembering that all flesh will serve Him and taking comfort out of that.

For as long as we look or judge other people's sins - even our own - we are not truly ready to walk with Christ, rather let us put on the garments of His salvation and walk around in that.

Isaiah 61:10-11
I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

 

[Jeshu]

Isaiah 57:1-13
The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.


“But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?
You burn with lust among the oaks
and under every spreading tree;
you sacrifice your children in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?
You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.
You went to Moleka with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.
You sent your ambassadors far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!
You wearied yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’
You found renewal of your strength,
and so you did not faint.


“Whom have you so dreaded and feared
that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered me
nor taken this to heart?
Is it not because I have long been silent
that you do not fear me?
I will expose your righteousness and your works,
and they will not benefit you.
When you cry out for help,
let your collection of idols save you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me
will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain.”


Many people fear the last days, fear the coming of the Lord, I know I used to, and I have met plenty of people like minded. It was foolish of me to fear the last days and not call out to Jesus to save me, now that I live in the last days I can see the truth. Those who feared the Lord in me are now almost all dead. They didn't have faith and died, they were the wicked and unfaithful who lived within me.

What a comfort dear struggling brothers and sisters is the going of such inner life, the end of my torture, the end of my misery. Though my inner world lost enormous ground with a 9/10 dead rate, yet what does that matter? (Ezekiel 38 & 39) No more doubt, no more guilt, no more dragon accuser playing god, no more fear or terror. (Revelation 17, 18, 19 and 20) Peace! And most importantly Jesus will make sure you died in Him, time and again and then raises you back up at the end of the ordeal. All the Chosen will be raised (Ezekiel 37:1-14 and Revelation 20:4-6)

Honestly true He creams the dross right off and leaves precious you behind. I swear by God that this is so. Jesus will never harm those who have put their trust in Him, especially not those who die. You don't have to fear, let Jesus' love cast it away. (no you but fear!) If you have called upon Him to be saved, then you have done what is required to be saved. Jeremiah 17:14. Jesus comforts those who mourn (have lost all their worldly desires,) and are bereft and destitute. He has always been the God of the oppressed, the fatherless, the poor and He sets the prisoners free! (Isaiah 61) Even today put your hope in Him!

Try and imagine that? The feast that follows is to awesome for words, that is were you want to be. (Revelation 19:1-10) He gave me an extension on life and time to repent in all my inner being, which is much harder than you might think, and never an one off. Exuberant one offs need to be carefully watched as to their nature, do we really repent of such spirituality or keep going in sin? What side are we on The Lord's or the wicked? Oh that Sword of Christ! Are you hurting? Then please pray Christ to be the rider on the white horse inside of you. Read the bible for yourself and to yourself, He has the power to set you free.

Psalm 49
Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who live in this world,
both low and high,
rich and poor alike:
My mouth will speak words of wisdom;
the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.
I will turn my ear to a proverb;
with the harp I will expound my riddle:

Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?
No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
the ransom for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—
so that they should live on forever
and not see decay.
For all can see that the wise die,
that the foolish and the senseless also perish,
leaving their wealth to others.
Their tombs will remain their houses forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had named lands after themselves.


People, despite their wealth, do not endure;
they are like the beasts that perish.


This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
They are like sheep and are destined to die;
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;
he will surely take me to himself.
Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
when the splendor of their houses increases;
for they will take nothing with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.
Though while they live they count themselves blessed—
and people praise you when you prosper—
they will join those who have gone before them,
who will never again see the light of life.


People who have wealth but lack understanding
are like the beasts that perish.

 

[Jeshu]

I'm weak, I fall. How often I hurt myself learning to walk with Jesus through out my life. I am still so divided, so many in me who want to keep doing wrong and refuse to heed the countless warnings that I in that spirituality have been given. Strange how election goes don't you reckon? Though one thing is for sure if the devil says you are not elected then you are one of God's one, but you might have to die to the lies which have you clearly captive, to let God's truth set you free is the way to go.

However in our weak self we tumble through the fire time and again and in the end the Lord will speak Ezekiel 24:3-14 out over us. The darkness gets black then.

When I don't trust, honest people any more for example. Unbelievable how big distrust had grown in my past life. One of the ten kings he has been within me and I still struggle with his offspring though he doesn't rule no more as I once did in distrust. Distrust didn't believe in The Lord either and constantly seeks to place a bad profile on the people I endeavour to love and respect.

In a world where so many people lie and try and get advantage over you in some way distrust has often very fertile ground within me. Though more and more I learn to apply this is simply principle - that is what they said - maybe true maybe not true, I don't have to believe nor disbelieve it. I just know what's been said by whom. To operate like that is safest. In our most vulnerable state we need to cling to Jesus. Oh how I struggle there. We can only trust the Lord is the way out of distrust in a bad way and know that people will fail when the crunch comes but the Lord will fail us never. So trust rules over us and not distrust. Trusting the Lord sure pays off, trust Him completely but watch out for the false prophet for he will try and capture you and present the devil as an angel of light. If Heaven is pleasing to the flesh then get on your knees no matter how hard that is and willingly die to all of that. Jesus will certainly come and save you at the end of it.

I do understand the truth, once you see Jesus then you simply forever know the truth. He imprints like a laser beam on one's soul. He is unforgeable and what is best is that He starts small but grows bigger and bigger until He fills your whole inner universe of being. Not always easy to explain, but I do know Him who is my Lord, He has dined with me very often and taught me patiently to comprehend the word spiritually. He has been great, I love Him like anything.

Oh how I envy Him. No one is as rich as Jesus, He owns everything, no one and nothing is missing. He even controls the black holes within us (and without) His truth captivate everything that can possibly have existence or be true. He says it Himself I am the truth and the life - now I ask you what more is there than that? So each time truth speaks/reveals to you seek Him in such reality. He is pure love, a consuming fire, a great warrior, the lion of Judea, our Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ. Let Him become a reality within you and you will be at peace. Let Him conquer you in all of your inner being.

It is hard to love God and neighbour, sometimes I still struggle with love for myself, though Jesus made it clear that we can only love ourself with His love not those selfish fires. Always consuming everything it its path. Here in Australia we know full well what damage fire can do, selfish love is like that. However loving ourself with God's love doesn't love like that it all very much the opposite is true. Let Jesus teach you how to take care of yourself. He is an awesome King and in no time you rule beside Him.

Joel 3

“In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
They cast lots for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine to drink.

“Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done. For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples. You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might send them far from their homeland.


“See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them, and I will return on your own heads what you have done. I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away.” The Lord has spoken.


Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
“I am strong!”
Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
and assemble there.

Bring down your warriors, Lord!


“Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit
to judge all the nations on every side.
Swing the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,
for the winepress is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”


Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.


“Then you will know that I, the Lord your God,
dwell in Zion, my holy hill.
Jerusalem will be holy;
never again will foreigners invade her.


“In that day the mountains will drip new wine,
and the hills will flow with milk;
all the ravines of Judah will run with water.
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house
and will water the valley of acacias.d
But Egypt will be desolate,
Edom a desert waste,
because of violence done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they shed innocent blood.
Judah will be inhabited forever
and Jerusalem through all generations.
Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?
No, I will not.”

The Lord dwells in Zion!

 

[Jeshu]

The best part of communion with God is that when you commune with Him you commune with everybody who loves the Lord as well. We can draw near to each other in prayer and seek out the wonders of God together in His Spirit, if we let the Word guide us and we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and not listen with itchy ears, to fill our own pockets but not willing to surrender our lives to Him.

It is always love that is missing!

What a friend we have in Jesus is a understatement, what a Brother we have in Jesus, friend is but one of His titles within us, for our Friend He surely is, but He is so much more than a friend down here can ever be, He is our Lord God, Our mighty warrior, our Saviour, our lives, our future, our everything and when this process has been completed then Jesus hand the kingdom to The Father so that God can truly be all in all in us and all those who have ever existed.

That is what we need to work towards the Day Of The Lord. He can slay the beast and that harlot within us holding us captive through our sins. Please put your trust in Jesus He can get you away from your bad life and plant you into His loving truth.


My Vineyard.

My soul is a vineyard of the Lord.
He chose the site carefully
and dug my hardened soil deep.

He removed all rocks and stones
and built me a wall with them,
a defence so very strong.

He planted the choicest of vines,
in fertile ground He planted them
and watered them deeply.

He cares for the plants very well,
pruning them each season,
strong stock to propagate.

Also a watchtower did He make,
placing guards in it,
a watching eye on things.

A wine press He built as well,
for when my vines yield,
pressing the best of fruit.

The wine of Joy is what I get,
jubilant my maidens dance,
gladness running over.

We may have our struggles, and our life can be challenging, but this is why we keep going on.


Romans 5:5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.



Phillipians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Oh my dear, dear brother you summed the words of my heart right up. It is good that we meet this way. The truth of God greatly strengthens me.

Zechariah 3
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”

Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”

Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”


Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.


The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.


“‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.


“‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

An urgent call to God's people

Zechariah 2
Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. I asked, “Where are you going?”

He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”


While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’


“Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,” declares the Lord.


“Come, Zion! Escape, you who live in Daughter Babylon!” For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.


“Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord. “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”

That scripture reminds me of this scripture. Not that i claim to understand it exactly, (i do have my opinion though) just that it reminds of the scripture you posted here.

Proverbs 17:19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.

 

[Extraneous]

My thoughts about these scriptures are about political and religious division. We can be free from all the worry and strife, if we just let go and put all things in Gods hands, and just follow the spirit. Liberty is the spirit means many things, but it also means liberty from worldly strife.


Proverbs 17:19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.

Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

The issue is that if we want to be able to read the Scripture as it was intended to be read - God live among us again - then we have to get out of Babylon first - go back to Israel and rebuild the temple - which is what Zechariah is all about - (but in the Ezekiel pattern not otherwise!)

This is a process that takes time and effort and we are attacked by enemies while we are at the job - we constantly have to defend for our lives. This is the pattern you ought to find within yourself before you can know that you are walking Scripturally in a sound way.

Indeed quarrelling shows you who the enemy are, as well as the warning to be an undefended country - a country without walls - where the wall is trust in the truth of God Himself. Ezekiel 38 and 39 shows us how this battle will end in very small detail - including the time spend to clean up the mess after the destruction that God send upon His enemies. See also Revelation 11, 14, 18 and 19.

Can you see we hide behind the defence that God's Word provides, there is no other defence that can protect us. The truth Himself shall be our guard! (Gather your faithful ones brothers and sisters and you shall rule the whole world of your inner being when Jesus comes and strikes your enemies down. (Daniel 7:1-14))

The truth of God cuts us into two camps within 1) the numbered who are to perish the goats within us, 2) and the chosen - the sheep within us - true us who we really are when it comes to it. The numbered are led by the false prophet and seek after eternal life in sin - or at least that was were mine were up to - the wicked controlling them have countless traps set up to harm or even kill us, they hate us with a passion. Ten kings ( us ruling outside of God's truth) will arise. 5 are, another 5 are to come. (the ten horns of the dragon.) In this spirituality we will use God's grace to keep on sinning and never repent or seek after freedom in Christ but stay bondaged to the spiritually in which we have life when we sin.

The harlot will be revealed, our life in unfaithfulness, as well as the lawless one(s) in which we have life in dishonesty, arrogance and pride. (The little horn talked about in Daniel 7 whom Jesus will cut down with the breath of His mouth.)

The dragon will arise full strength. He hates grace that is how you recognise him, compelling demands typifies his understanding of the word, but he breeds more sin in us by casting us dead in our good life and sowing bad life within us.

This is a severe time, were we suffer severe hardships, until we learn to walk in God's grace and let Jesus loving truth destroy our enemies and we are lead more and more by God's Spirit instead of our sinful one. This process is called sanctification.

After all the numbered are dead, the harlot has been destroyed and the Dragon has been destroyed, we learn to let the wicked be wicked still and the holy be holy still. We understand that as long as we walk around in flesh we will produce sinful spirituality but we let Jesus plant His seeds of truth in the dirt (and dust) of our hearts and so the Lord grows us a beautiful garden of Eden with plenty to eat and let the Word cycle/move through us while the wicked gnashing their teeth look on from out of their prisons chained awaiting judgement day.

The kingdom is to serve the Lord in good as well as in what used to be 'bad' spirituality - our whole inner world of being kneeling down before God and praising Him.



Zion Descending

At first I heard Dad say,
"Son let us make tracks,
its near getting dark now,
the chosen are all asleep,
now would be best,
as darkness reigns its peak,
for arrogance has him blinded,
to what is really going on."


I saw the sunlight darkened,
the moon turn to blood,
and the stars falling from Heaven.
I felt everything shaking in its boots.
I heard about wars and rumours of wars.
I experienced famine and drought,
grand scale living in wantonness,
rulers making a living out of sin,
Satan's forces installed everywhere,
loveless forces ruling untruthfully.


I heard my inner world crying out in her dying pain,
"What is going on?
The Father is leaving us without the Son,
this can only evil mean."
I heard the angels blow the trumpets!
"Woe to the inhabitants of this soul!"

I heard the agonising cries,
coming from underneath the altar,
the dead in God's love, longingly,
awaiting newness of life!
"Yes, oh Lord, pour out their blood as they did ours!"

I heard the thunders rolling throughout my being,
"Let evil brood fear The Truth of God almighty!
Let judgement begin in The House of God!"

I knew judgement had already began,
when I beheld those massive hails stones,
tumbling down on the heads of the wicked.
I watched my enemies flee in terror!
Scorpion stings burning wrong,
horse hooves kicking up dirt,
truthfulness uncovering shame,
honesty baring nakedness,
the dung of the earth warring,
lies sores causing agony,
pestilence threatening,
as grasshoppers devoured,
my enemies food and good life!

It was fascinating to see,
how weak those are...,
.....so strong in lies!

Yes, honest!
Loving truth is like that!
The freedom to be,
true to yourself,
both in good and bad,
in His love to be.

Oh the release of faith!
Heart rendering awe!
Shouts of glorious praise!
Jumping joy - pure ecstasy!
Glorying in God almighty,
my life's tormentors died,
perishing one after the other.

Seeing Jesus on His white horse,
a blazing sword coming out of His mouth,
His all conquering loving truth
my inner world of being to reap.
Casting dead what is so good to have gone,
raising alive that which I had lost,
bringing new life at each dawn,
His kingdom ruling my world of being,
His presence bringing rest and peace.

Time and again He comes past like this,
(terrorising the wicked agonising their mates demise,)
as all His wheels turn into place.
The Word alive in heavenly love.
Costly gifts descending from above.
beholding the temple of the most high,
the truth of His love Himself my Zion.

The issue is that if we want to be able to read the Scripture as it was intended to be read - God live among us again - then we have to get out of Babylon first - go back to Israel and rebuild the temple - which is what Zechariah is all about - (but in the Ezekiel pattern not otherwise!)

This is a process that takes time and effort and we are attacked by enemies while we are at the job - we constantly have to defend for our lives. This is the pattern you ought to find within yourself before you can know that you are walking Scripturally in a sound way.

Oh yes one more thing brother, with Jesus as Brother and Almighty God as Father and God The Spirit as life breath you will become part of a Jewish family. However what Jesus teaches us most of all is respect for Dad. Love for Zion and the land of Israel ruling our inner world of being, and to be hungry for the word of truth proceeding from Dad's lips. It is awesome to dine with Jesus.

Revelation 3:19-22
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Thanks again brother. Jesus spoken words belong to the father, as He teaches us. He spoke what the father told him to speak.

Why do lies bring misery and truth only benefit? Why is this so?

Lies are not true yet they created realities which oppress, harm, imprison and enslave and kill good life, and creates life inside of us that is oppressive, rude, brutal, cruel, mean, uncaring, arrogant, selfish, unloving, unjust/unfair, perverted, hateful, distrustful, dishonest, hypocritical and of course untrue. How many lies are woven through your reality my dear brother or sister? And who knows who are what inside is who?

The way we know is how the kingdom of the lie works as revealed in the word of God. God knows all these evildoers and will pay them back what they deserve, it is good that we repent of hanging out with the wicked.

lies kill the truth of ourself and replaces it with a lie. In that lie we think, feel and do untrue things, things which harm, hurt, oppress, , imprisons, enslaves, kill, and distort life, also within us.

We need Jesus to save us from our polluted spirit, it is impossible that we can clean ourselves, can polluted waters clean itself?

No one is as clever as Jesus who leads them all to their destruction in the end and makes them fall into their own traps. The Word can get us away from lies dominion and teach us to be in God's loving truth instead.

Zechariah 5:5-11
Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

I asked, “What is it?”

He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”


Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.


Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.


“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.


He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

An idol served is anything served that is not true - has its existences in lies - a lie from which we then hope to gain favour or benefit. This world has reached an all high peak in deceiving and being deceived, the lie rules supreme. The Christian religion has not been able to bring the truth around instead she has hopped into bed with the deceivers, creating havoc on this earth and often helping along in destroying it.

Our whole physical and also often our spiritual existence down here is build on lies, that are shored up by lies, with satan as lord over it all leading us to destruction. Humanity are sheep to be slaughtered. The evil behind all the lies will recoil on those who brought it into motion, their is no way out!

What is a believer in Christ to do?


Leave the world behind and find life in the truth of God's word, that is what we can do - escape the lie ruling and return to God and Godly worship. The bible urges us to worship God in spirit and truth, the word truth here it is very important.

What is truth?

Most in Christian religion believe that Jesus Christ is the truth. However with religion Jesus is far removed from us and we can gain His favour only if we worship God as religion tells us we should do, which usually never happens to those stuck with sin, but always to those blind to their sin who then arrogantly judge those not like them.

The Bible however tells us that we have our very being in God and that God is not far removed from us therefore.

Acts 17:27-28
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.'

Truth is actuality therefore, what really exists, what really occurs and takes all place, the truth of God is also our every moment of existence, in all our different moods and likes and dislikes, all our words and actions have been done in truth and either brought honour or dishonour to the truth. We never have to doubt the truth of God's existence or nearness again. Neither should we think we can conceal our thoughts or actions from God. He sees, hears and feels everything!

Like Jesus said;

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Now what keeps us away from the truth of God? Is it not the lies which have us captive? So not a religious life, where lies still rule, but a total surrender to the truth of His Word can get us away from the lies keeping us imprisoned or enslaved, or oppressed, or depressed, or lame, or blind, or deaf, and turn us into the terrible persons we can be at times.

So if you see that misery rules your life then know that the truth suffers this along with you and that He is most sympathetic and compassionate towards you. However only when you move away from the lies, and what they tell you and do to you, can the truth help you. Believing the truth rather than the lies of depression and claiming Jesus Christ as your saviour is certainly a very smart thing to do when you struggle with depression.

So honest my dear suffering brothers and sisters God's truth can set you free from the pain of depression and turn the whole ordeal into your (and hopefully many others as well,) favour.

Song of Battle.

The arrows streak their flame.
I'm under attack again!
Opening the treasures of my defence,
His loving Word my only chance,
Of surviving the fiery weather.

"Do, don't, eat, abstain, go or stay."
Is what my inner attackers say.
Scornfully throwing their hate around.
My sins sissing at their sound.
With my own misery they surround.

Now one grabs me by the throat.
My life his scornful gloat.
"How can you trust in God's grace,
When I rub this dirt in your face?"
He demands in accuser's tone.

In humble voice I bow my head.
Lord can You hear what they said?
Yet who can charge Your elect?
Jesus sacrifice makes us perfect.
Please give me faith to stand.

His sword streaks its flame.
Attacking my enemies once again.
His loving Word fells them all.
In the fire of His love they fall,
A wonderful happy ending.

For Jesus is victorious over my sin.
Eternal life He for me did win.
Praises to Him from my heart swells.
As His Spirit of Truth in me dwells.
All glory to Him!

 

[Jeshu]

Idolatry Does Not Serve True
Idol worship is anything served that is not true,
any concept that has its existence in lies,
lies from which we hope to gain favour or benefit.

This world has reached an all high peak
Deceiving and being deceived,
those idols rule supreme down here.

Neither has religion brought Jesus back,
she has hopped into bed with the deceivers,
the beast and the harlot destroying the earth.

The chosen have to endure much hardship,
and all end-up being killed within us,
the harlot drinking our life-blood.

However Babylon will not stand forever,
in just one hour her doom will come
His light destroying her darkness.

The rider on the white horse will come,
cutting down all those lies ruling,
and setting His children free.
