| WE heard the Message! |
Jesus the Shepherd called those to hear Him. It was and is for the intimate and personal terms. Specifically He called us out of a dying world to go to live in His spiritual kingdom which will come to earth after the Tribulation.
God enabled us to hear ....yes, those to whom He would call to be His own.
The
Startling Truth: Romans 8:30 : "Moreover whom He predestined, these He
also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and who He justified,
these He also glorified." Only the called are justified! Justification
through repentance and by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is what permits us
into the presence of God, enabling further growth to glorification in God's
Kingdom! WE heard the Message!
AND God says
Come Come, unto Me. Spend that time with
Me. I will put that ring on your finger, the robe on your shoulders, the
sandals on your feet. We will slay the "fatten" calf and have sweet fellowship
together. Come, says the Lord. Come.
…………………..Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.
God likes that time to spend with us. We find in Matthew 6:6 that when we pray, we are to go into our room, and when we have shut the door, we pray to our Father which is in the secret place; and He our Father which sees in secret shall reward us openly.
The
Miraculous Occurred: for you and I to see Him and to hear His voice. Salvation came to us when
others refused it: Acts 28:28 therefore
let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles
and they will hear it!”
Jesus Told
Us In John 14:15…that if we love Him, we should keep His commands. Today you and I know there
is a “war of words” going on! Men are trying to change what the Bible speaks about life and death and those who are God's children.
But God sent forth His word and healed … Psalm 107:20
-22 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their
destruction's. 21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the children of men. 22 Let them sacrifice the
sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing.
You and I should not be acting like the world, but receiving the kingdom which has come through Jesus.
Jesus spoke this: Matthew 13: 10-17 NKJV
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 “for
whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever
does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Yes, the miraculous to hear and to hear more
has been given us…..ARE we excited about this?
Matthew 13: 13 “Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing
they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And
in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled , which says:
Hearing you
will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears
are hard of hearing. And their eyes they have closed.
Lest they
should see with their eyes & hear with their ears, Lest they should
understand with their hearts & turn, so that I should heal them.
16 But
blessed are your eyes for they see, & your ears for they hear. 17 For
assuredly, I say to you, that many prophets & righteous men desired to see
what you see, & did not see it, & to hear what you hear, & did not
hear it.
Yes, prophets and those righteous men desired to see what the disciples saw in Jesus. He was the One who came to save the lost. They were excited for the day to have that same relationship always with the Lord God. If our hope is in the Kingdom of God, the resurrection of the dead, and sharing life with God
eternally are not sufficient to motivate us to repent, perhaps the fear of a
terrible calamity, the Great Tribulation, the Day of the Lord, or that being spewed
from God's mouth as a Laodicean will move us to use the present to secure the
future.
The word going out today is that the church has become the Laodicean church. But God is so loving and merciful, would not staying out of hell and away from His presence propel us into His goodness quicker? Pharaoh had to know the plagues coming his way when he harden his heart toward God. Even Cain drew that breath of hardness in refusing life with God to do his own thing.
God prophesies motivates us to cling to Him and His Word right now,
and He is willing to scare us nearly to death in order to save us.
If we think long on the Israelites and remember their desire was to be known as seekers of the truth, but in reality they did not want
it. Their pride would not allow them to pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the truth,
for that meant they would need to humble themselves before the Word of God.
Amos
8:11-12 NKJV 11 "Behold, the days
are coming," says the Lord GOD,
"That
I will send a famine on the land,
Not a
famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water,
But of
hearing the words of the LORD.
12 They
shall wander from sea to sea,
And from
north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD,
But shall
not find it.
Yes, there is a thirst today for the man or the woman as they cannot find the teaching that Jesus came to set down. The gospel was not to be changed nor was it to ever be set aside for men to just have testimony time and not know what God has spoken from those Scriptures He set down for us to adhere to for life. Yes, we have heard the Message, but what have we done with it? Do we share it with others, read it faithfully knowing God sent it faithfully to earth by His Holy Spirit. For there is one thing we should never lack and that is God's word that have released us from captivity to live for Him, to live in power and have healthy bodies to glorify Him. I do not know about you, but I am grateful today for the Message that has been sent to this world and that I heard it. For in it we are empowered to be all that God purposed for our lives and that means a lot more than anything the world can dish out. I will take the truth of God every time.
Father, thank You for the good Shepherd. We are thankful for the Open door for Your kingdom that has come……Your words are top priority to us. They are spirit and they are life. WE let the Word of God dwell in us richly in all wisdom. The ability of God is released within us by the words of our mouth and by the Word of God. WE speak YOUR words out of our mouth. They are alive in us. You are alive and working in us now, so WE can boldly say that OUR words are words of faith, words of power, words of love, and words of life. They produce good things in our life and in the lives of others. Because WE choose Your Words for our lips, WE choose Your will for our life, and WE go forth in that power of those words & to see them performed in Jesus’ name. Amen.
O, Father, may we make a beautiful sound for You! We heard the message.
