First questions of the day:
Why do you keep ponding on the door GOD has shut?
Why wont you go through the door GOD has opened for you?
Why do you continue trying to forge your own path through life?
Why do you blame GOD when your choices have been wrong (evil) ?
Day 6 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 3:8-13
“I know your deeds.
Behold,
I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Behold,
I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie
I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing,
that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{{{ “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
As believers in and followers of the Lord Christ Jesus; we are the church.
As the church need to listen to the Spirit that GOD has given to live in each of us.
We need to be so entuned with the Spirit that we instantly follow His instructions.
When the Lord opens a door, we should quickly and eagerly walk through it, but when He closes a door, we have no reason to even approach it.
If we are in tune to hear the Holy Spirit, we will hear His lead and hearing it we should quickly follow (obey) His lead.
Even having a little power (straight in Christ) we can keep (obey), and have the power / straight to not deny Him when we are persecuted and threatened.
If you are a faults Christian, know that the Lord God will deal with you.
GOD is very generous with us, His perseverance is long steady, His persistence stays the course for our salvation, it does not grow weary nor faint.
If only our perseverance towards Him and His teaching were even just one percent of His what a difference it would make in our lives.
“That hour which is about to come upon the whole world”
The hour of testing;
Even now look around.
The church is being tested, and sadly a lot of church organizations, congregations and church individuals have, and are failing the test before them.
Some have even gone as far as to say that Jesus was just a good man, that not all of the bible is true,
that we cannot follow all the commandments set forth in the Bible.
That we must tolerate the evil in mankind, tolerating the sins of others in the church, sounds like the teachings and doctrine of the Jezebels, Balaam, Balak and the Nicolaitans, which Christ Jesus Himself said “The Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
It seems a majority of the church has bought in to those teachings and are failing the test set before them. }}}
{{{ some will argue that the testing spoken of here is that which will take place during the seven years of tribulation, i agree.
i have been brought to understand that we are all being tested daily and that the daily testing is getting stronger and stronger.
If you can not past the test, we all go through daily now,
how will you pass the test once you are faced with the tribulation?
If you cannot control your fleshly desires now, how will you control them then?
Now is the time to humble yourself turn to the Lord Jesus, repent of and turn away from your sins, you may not have another day to do so.
Matthew 6:27
“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
If you can’t add time to your life by being worried, by thinking about it or by being anxious, you can’t plan on having even tomorrow.
Now is the day, now is the time.
What choice will you make?
Give it all to the Lord our GOD, except the Lord Jesus and start living for Him and Him alone?
Or
will you choose to continue to fallow the ways of the worldly church and the teachings and doctrine of the Jezebels, Balaam, Balak and the Nicolaitans.
The choice is yours to make. }}}
That hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Jesus said because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing.
Will you be ready?
Saturday, June 22, 2024, 06:59
First questions of the day:
Who guides your walk-through life?
Who do you allow to influence your choices?
Do you spend more time with GOD in His word, or with the world, worldly people, taking part in worldly thing?
Are your choices Godly or worldly?
Day 4 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:19-29 2:19
“I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.
{ our Lord Jesus knows who we are and what we do.
Does He know you for your love?
Mathew 22:37 and 39
“Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
John 15:12-13
“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
Do you love the Lord your God?
Do you love your neighbor?
Are you willing to give your life for a friend?
Don’t let that scar you from loving your neighbor, yes it literally means your life, but i believe it goes far beyond that.
Are you willing to give of your time?
Are you willing to give from what the Lord your God has given you?
Think about it. }
2:20
But I have this against you,
that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
{ do you tolerate jezebels in your life?
Jezebel refers to a woman who is regarded as evil and scheming, a bold and vicious, one who is cruel and immoral.
A woman who lives a life that worship false gods, and connives others into do the same.
A shameless impudent scheming manipulating woman, a woman who lives in adultery and draws others in to her way of life. }
2:21-23
I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.
{ Harsh NO. Just YES. The Lord will give you time and opportunities to repent but if you are not willing to repent and turn from your sins, He (the Lord) will deal with you. }
2:24
But I say to you, the rest, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them I place no other burden on you.
2:25
Nevertheless, what you have, hold fast until I come.
{ you have faith in our Lord Christ Jesus?
Have you turned repented and turned from your sins?
Are you living to love the Lord Jesus?
Are you loving the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind?
Or
are you still tolerating the influence of the jezebels in your life? }
2:26-29
"He who overcomes,
and he who keeps My deeds until the end,
TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{ think about it. Call yourself a Christian, you are the Church. }
Friday, June 21, 2024, 06:35
First questions of the day:
When you stand before the Lord GOD, Will you be at peace?
Will you be excepted as a friend?
Will you hear these words; Well done, enter in to the joy of your master, you were faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things?
Day 3 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:13-17
“I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.
So, you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.
{ the teachings and doctrine of Balaam taught by Balak and those of the Nicolaitans are in the church even today.
They are deceptive, teachings,
a. One trait of false teachers in the church is that they attempt to turn Christian liberty into a “freedom” to be promiscuous.
b. The doctrine of Balaam teaches compromise, wanting Christians to forget they are called to be separate from the world and holy;
c. The doctrine of Balaam makes believers indistinguishable from the unbelieving world.
d. The person following the doctrine of Balaam is willing to compromise his or her beliefs for the sake of economics.
e. Their acts to enable sinful behaviors for personal gain or even participate in the sinful behavior.
In practical terms, the teaching or doctrine of Balaam is the view that Christians can or even should compromise their convictions for the sake of popularity, money, sexual gratification, or personal gain.
It’s the attitude that treats sin as “no big deal.”
the teaching or doctrine of Balaam is that Christians can’t and shouldn’t totally shun the presence of sinners or unbelievers.
But what the word of GOD says is that we are obligated to stand up for truth, righteousness and goodness whether it’s what others want to hear or not.
The Balaam and Nicolaitans also believed in Human sacrifice (that of young children was common.) }
3:16-17
Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.”
{ Will you choose to stay deceived?
To fulfill the lust of your flesh, or will you humble yourself before the Lord repent of your sins and follow His commandments?
When Christ Jesus returns on the clouds of heaven will you be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air?
Or will you have been so deceived you won’t be able to leave with Him?
Will be as one of those spoken of in Jude.
Jude 1:8-25
Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.
But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said,
“The Lord rebuke you!”
But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.
Woe to them!
For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.
1:14
It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
Keep Yourselves in the Love of God
1:17
But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you,
“In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.”
These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
And have mercy on some, who are doubting;
save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.
1:24
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever.
Amen. }

First questions of the day:
When you stand before the Lord GOD,
will you be able to justify your auctions?
Will you be able to justify your treatment of fellow believers?
Will you be able to quote from GODs own words that justification?
Day 2 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:9-11
“I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich),
{if we are a believer in and following of Christ Jesus, no matter how much money we may not have we are rich, richer than the one with all the money, our riches are in Christ Jesus, they are stored up for us in heaven.}
2:9 continued
and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
2:10
Do not fear what you are about to suffer.
Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days.
Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
{these words should bring comfor to those who go by the name Christian.
They DO bring comfort, to those who believe in and are faithful followers of Christ Jesus.
In Matthew 6:33-34 Jesus tells us:
“But seek first His (GODs) kingdom and His (GODs) righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
In Matthew 6: 32 Jesus says:
“Your heavenly Father knows you need all these things.”
Yes, He is speaking of food and clothing; but relies if the Father knows you have need of food and clothing don’t you think He knows what ell you have need of?
Don’t you have faith in Christ Jesus that He can and will provide all you NEEDs?
If so, then quite committing idolatry and immorality, to get what you want.
rather than waiting upon the Lord for what you need.}
2:11
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.”
{If you go by the name Christian, if you are a believer in and follower of Christ Jesus, you are the Church.
Will you overcome the evil in this world?
You can if your faith is anchored in the Lord Christ Jesus.}
Thank about it.
Tuesday, June 18, 2024, 13:10
Still not sure where we will be laying our heads in a few weeks from now,
but know Father God knows, and that is good enough for me.
Will be spending the next few days going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 2:2-7
“I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance,
{Steady persistence in adhering to the words (commandments) of Christ Jesus}
and that you cannot tolerate evil men,
{do you put up with evil people in your life?}
and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;
{do you test the words spoken by the teachers in your church or the teachers you fallow online, tv or radio?
To you test them by the words from GODs?
Or do you just blindly follow because of who they are?}
and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
{is this you?
have you steadily continued to adhere to the teachings of Christ Jesus?
Do you carry on in the will of Christ despite hardships and suffering?
To prove the words of Christ Jesus to be true?
Or have you become physically or mentally tired doing or teaching the word of GOD?
Do you grow tired, feel exhausted after spending time in church teaching or learning?
are you unable to wait patiently on the Lord?
are you unable to refrain from interfering with the timeline of Christ Jesus when you think His answer is delayed, or His timing is off?}
But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
{is Christ Jesus as alive to you today as HE was the first day you asked Him in to your life?
Do you remember what Christ brought you out of.
From what sins you have been saved from?
Have you repented of your sins you have fallen back in to?
Repent of your daily sins. Repent.}
Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
{the Nicolaitans practiced idolatry and immorality,
Idolatry = the blind or excessive devotion to someone or something other than GOD.
Worship of false god’s, idols; images, or anything which is not God In this country there is worship of homes, cars, trucks, phones, laptops, computers, clothing, a hole sloe for inanimate objects made by mankind, movies and movie actors,even animals.
And all are made out to be a necessity but in reality, they are being worshiped.
And a majority of them lead many down the path of immorality.
In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus takes the commandment
‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’
To a hole new level, He takes it from not only the act but to our thoughts.
Matthew 5:27-28
“You have heard that it was said,
‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’;
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
How much immorality do you allow in to your eyes and ears every day?
How long will you put up with it?
Each and every time you hear or see immorality it builds a bearer between you and GOD,
you can take down the bearer by repenting.
To repent is to remove and turn away, walk away from the sin and turn to GOD.
Take the time you spend in sin, turn and spend that time in the word of GOD.}
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes,
I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.”
