God’s Word for Inertia

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in. They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

While I prayed I heard the word “Inertia” and I had no idea what it meant.  I looked it up.

Inertia means: 1: Property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
2: Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change: idleness, lazy, with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness, slothfulness.  A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.  © thefreedictionary.com

The LORD revealed some things through this word definition that is effective now concerning the Church and the timing we are in.  I believe we need to know and understand where we fit in our stance with eternity.

There is a very real resistance to moving forward with God today in the churches.  The people are idle (even in spirit filled churches) with no regard to changing and becoming Christ like.  Many have no concept of the cost of discipleship and teaching about suffering for our stance in Christ.

These are sluggish, slothful, and don’t want things to change.  To these who don’t want to rock the boat; they substitute programs, wanting instead a social, status gathering or club, in which Christ has no part in.  These also are using the church for merchandising.  These have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, from such we are warned to turn away.

I see nothing in scripture that calls for such programs or teachings that encourage others to do nothing and remain unchanged.  I found that Jesus entered the temple and turned over the money changers tables in anger, stating My house is a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves,   Matthew 21:13.

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in.  They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

Start talking about holiness and watch the people start calling you a legalist or worse, a false prophet.  However, when asked about scripture, many have no idea what they believe or where to find it.

There is a tendency to go with the “herd mentality” and many in this system who are truly saved get stuck in a miry pit or run over.  It takes the LORD’s people to pray and remove them from the pit of destruction through intercession.  Shepherds gently lead their flocks, but herds are driven.

The Church has an existing state of rest or motion that will continue on it’s path of destruction unless that state is changed by an external force; meaning God must change it!

If the church continues on the same path (of rest and uniform motion) It will take a move of God to change the path of destruction.  God will help those that are wayward find their way back, but for many the strict, sacred and undefiled words of the Holy Bible are not applicable anymore.

There are others with lots of zeal who are sincere but sincerely wrong.  These think they are doing Gods will and going along a straight road to destruction and can’t see the peril their in.  Discipleship is so important! It will take prayer and God to changed their directions.

Zeal without knowledge is just as bad, as they believe their salvation is based strictly on their works.  Both states are wrong.  You can’t win by going with the program of religion and traditions; It will take you down and you will wonder why it happened or worse you turn away from God.

Following Christ isn’t easy, but his love for us is eternal and that never fails.  He is our exceeding great reward!

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge,  (Romans 10:1-2 KJV).

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away,”   2 Timothy 2:3-8 KJV.

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance; but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye hold in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy, for I AM holy,”  1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV.

Unholy Motives and Attitudes

Watch what happens when they cross you! They will manifest when you disagree!

I do not want to hear from anyone who belittles, gossips, slanders, and play games with God’s beloved children.  The LORD see’s it all.  He knows it all.

I bind all corrupt communications out of our heart, mind and mouths.  Especially those who talk about other ministers, ministries and Christians.

Guard your gifts.  Protect your gifts.  You are a steward of them.  You know God has given you a two edge sword and we answer to Him.  He will show us as we spend time with Him in prayer and abiding in His presence.

Always pray, be mindful and watch what those religious spirits say when you say NO to participate concerning slander, gossip and touching HIS anointed.  You have determined that you will NOT speak against anyone in the body of Christ.

Watch what happens when they cross you!  They will manifest when you disagree!  Guard your heart and mind for out of it comes the issues of life.  Be angry and sin not!

We are all individual’s who must learn and especially understand that we have the mind of Christ.  Guard your words, thoughts and weigh every word against Gods Holy Word.

Be determined to give no place to the devil.  Tell those who are tale bearers they are wrong and let them know you won’t participate in such communications.  Guard your heart, mind and tongue.

Those who are jealous and envious, will play nice as long as you agree with them, but once they have managed to manipulate and control you then we must Deal and Confront them.  Pray and speak what thus says the LORD!

Let no man manipulate and control you for that is a form of spiritual abuse and it leads you right to a spirit of Jezebel.  Those spirits make us like puppets as they pull our strings and lead us the way they want us to go.

We are all individual’s that must learn these things, for we will face many more.

Decree and declare that you have the mind of Christ.

Touch not Gods anointed, do his prophet’s no harm.  Realize and be quick to repent so that times of refreshing come from the presence of the LORD.

Be mindful that we carry the Holy Spirit and He sits on the throne of our heart.  Remember, we can easily grieve HIM.

Do not attribute the works of the Holy Spirit to be the enemy.  That my friends is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

I bind all disrespect.

I bind all corrupt communication out of the mouths.

Help us LORD to deal with us!  Help us to remain aware about what comes out of our hearts and mouth especially those who are on our friends list.

There are differences in gifting and purposes in the body of Christ.  We will not always agree, but we must love.  Just because they don’t agree with everything we believe, doesn’t make them bad.

We must walk in what we attained by faith in Gods Word.  If these type of issues continually come up to me, expect to be confronted.  So if you see pages gone and articles deleted, it is because I am done with such antics.

If you see things that you think are wrong, please talk to God and keep your opinions to yourselves.  Let God be God and He will reveal the truth as needed.

Only one person knows me very well.  His name is Jesus, the Son of man.  However God has given me a husband in this life who supports and prays earnestly for me.  I thank God for that!

If you see things that you think are wrong, please talk to God and come to me in private; but keep opinions to yourselves in the body.  Let God be God and He will reveal the truth to us.

We are to be stewards of the mysteries and treasures of secret places.  He is our King and we, His beloved.

Adversity in the Midst of Great Freedom

Feelings are deceitful, and you do feel lust and all sorts of things. Just because there is a feeling doesn’t make it you.

I see a great reunification with the Father.  As things get worse in the world, many are coming running with open arms as the LORD has shown them their condition of their heart, mind and body.  True revival is coming on a unprecedented scale.

“I Am removing the blind scales off the eyes and they will see and have revelation of the times and seasons, knowing of My soon return, says the LORD.”

God is taking you back to the beginning when you were young and on fire.  Many backsliders are being dealt with by the Holy Spirit and he is wooing them home.  He shall minister to all your wounds and emotional trauma.  You haven’t gotten so far away from Him to reach.

No man can come to the Father unless the Holy Spirit draws them.  The truths that you once held are coming back to your thinking.  You wake up and you feel different, suddenly you are thinking differently.

He is making all things new again.  You are finding that what held you captive is being overcome by the LORD’s words, you are even thinking differently, you are seeing yourself free.  Everything Satan meant for evil in your lives is being returned upon his head.

“Within your soul and body there is a great tug of war, and you must win as you repent and ask for My forgiveness and strength.  It is mandatory that you get in place and position quickly.  You must walk in rank and order by My Spirit.

Desperation is moving in the hearts of My back slider’s.  There is no peace for the wicked.  I will surround those that return, with access to five fold ministries.  It is most important to surround yourself with strong Christian’s.  I see people in lines running to find a house that My Spirit dwells in.”

“They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks,”   Joel 2:7KJV.

“Yes, you will also see the signs in the heavens, earth and sea and I will continue to shake My people and shake the earth so the lost will come in.  The shaking will get violent as the earth reels, totters and erupts.

Yes, you will see the signs and others will experience the signs, and many will seek out those who have a understanding of the times these are in.  Many will seek Me and live says the LORD!

Those prophets shall prophecy what they are living; what has been predicted in and by My Word.  Yes, there has been many taken captive.  These turned the truth into a lie by their unrighteous living.  To know the truth, one must rightly divide the Word of Truth.

I will hold account and I will hold contempt, to those who say they hold the truth, but in lies, unrighteousness and ungodly living.  These who have known the truth and deceive themselves, will be held to a greater accountability.  It would have been better that they knew not the truth, than turning away from it as a dog to it’s own vomit.

These deceived themselves and became vain in their minds and the heart was made dark.  They exchanged My Spirit into the image of man and worshiped mans lofty titles and agenda.

Since they did not keep My Word their foolish heart was darkened.  These teach half truth’s and just enough to keep My people deceived as they are.  These are rebellious and eager to help others believe the same error like Baalam did.

Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.  Watch out and don’t listen to words of rebellion.”

“But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate,”  Revelation 2:14-16 KJV.

“Yes, I have given them over to their lusts, to have sex with each other; even the natural use of man and woman has been deceived.  These burn in lust for relations against nature.  I did not create you that way.  My enemy has done this great deception and passed this abomination down blood lines.”

Feelings are deceitful, and you do feel lust and all sorts of things.  Just because there is a feeling doesn’t make it you.  The urge or feeling confused you to think you were different as a child.  Once this was entertained over and over in your mind, you fell into the scheme of the devil.  Once you received the thoughts, the sexual acts followed.  Satan or that demon, gained access to you and came to live in you.

Satan moves and operates in the soulish realm, eager to gain entrance through temptation of feelings and desires.  Just because you felt something different doesn’t make it so.  Satan can come to you as an angel of light or come in any form to pull your strings like a puppet, to convince you what he wants you to be.  He is a pro at this and has had centuries to practice on man.

It is God’s Word you base everything on.  You stand and measure yourself with God’s Word not feelings.  Satan can also have a pseudo anointing.  It can “feel” like God but it is a deception.  You measure yourself always by the Word of God.  His Word is forever settled in heaven. God never contradicts His Word.

“Satan uses all sorts of deception to keep you from knowing and believing the truth.  Heaven and earth will pass away but My Word will never pass away.  To be free from these things, one must repent and get help to break generational curses.

These who know the judgment of God and recruit others who were mine, pursuing My weak and wounded ones; I will hold these accountable for changing My truth into a lie.

These who led My little ones astray, making them believe I made them like these.  Those even in churches, who instigate such ideals to participate, these will be held accountable especially those who know the truth.  One can only be accountable for what they know in My Word.”

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, LORD, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine; but the Father’s which sent me,”   John 14:21-24 KJV.

A Look at the Word Exhortation

Exhort: To incite by words or advice; to animate or urge by arguments to a good deed or to any laudable conduct or course of action. To advise; to warn; to caution.

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.  But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, andcomfort,”   1 Corinthians 14:1-3 KJV,  (Emphasis added).

There is much confusion with this topic and I see and hear those who do not understand the role of prophecy in the church.

In the King James Bible Dictionary:

Edification:  To give courage to; to give or increase confidence of success; to inspire with courage, spirit, or strength of mind; to embolden; to animate; to incite; to inspirit. To encourage.
i.e. To encourage or encouragement, the act of giving courage, or confidence of success; Incitement to action or to practice; incentive.“But charge Joshua, and encourage him….,”   Deuteronomy 3:28.Comfort:  To strengthen; to invigorate; to cheer or enliven.“Comfort ye your hearts….,”   Genesis 18:5.

To strengthen the mind when depressed or enfeebled; to console; to give new vigor to the spirits; to cheer, or relieve from depression, or trouble.

“His friends came to mourn with him and to comfort him….”   Job 2:11.

Exhort:  To incite by words or advice; to animate or urge by arguments to a good deed or to any laudable conduct or course of action. To advise; to warn; to caution. To incite or stimulate to exertion.

“I exhort you to be of good cheer…..,”   Acts 27:22.

“Exhort servants to be obedient to their masters…..,” Titus 2:9.

Exhortation: To deliver exhortation; to use words, warnings, caution to incite to good deeds,  (Acts 2:40).

I find that many believer’s refuse to believe in prophecy or prophets, due to misuse and false prophets.  There is misuse through immaturity, ignorance and pride also.  There needs to be teaching on this subject.

To only know the kindness of God and not the severity of God is to deceive ourselves.  You are obligated to study the Word of God so you can know for yourselves.

It is dangerous to believe in all ministers and not find out the truth for yourself.  The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:12, “to know those that labor among yourselves.”  Also we are to study to show ourselves approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our LORD Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the LORD, and admonish you; and be at peace among yourselves.  And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake,”  1 Thessalonians 5:9-13 KJV.

Why is exhortation, warning?

The Holy Spirit is warning his Church and the world of Jesus imminent return.

The Kingdom of God is among us and like salt, when salt has lost it’s savor it is good for nothing.  Would you rather not be advised, cautioned or warned?

When the LORD comes and open His door to the marriage supper of the Lamb and HE closes the door, It will not be opened again.

“And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in,”   Genesis 7:16 KJV.

Just like it was when Noah built the ark.  People were not paying any attention to the signs of the times; Yes, the LORD closed the ark.  HE will close the door once again when He has gathered all his wise virgins.

Don’t stay at the end of the lines; quit having a divided heart with one foot in and one foot out.  The chasm will widen and there will be nothing left to stand on in the middle ground.  You will either be in or out.

This dispensation is coming to a close and once the doors are shut, the Holy Spirit of Grace will be taken out of the earth with HIS beloved remnant.  People will face the full brunt of this earth in tribulation when the anti Christ takes over.  BUT GOD!

“And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them nor follow them, for as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.  And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all,”   Luke 17:23-27 KJV.

Beloved of God, we are in birth pains, but things are coming quickly to a close.  Those that remain bound to this earth, who rejected Jesus and his word, will find they were left.  There will be two in bed, one taken, the other left.  Two working in a field, one taken the other left.  There will be much confusion.

In those days there will be those that rejected and never committed to Christ.  And those that are backslider’s or ministers who were not right in relationship with Christ.  These will be shocked.  These who taught partial truths, will repent and turn to truth during these days and begin to teach and preach the truth during the tribulation.

During this time, there will be many martyrs for the name of Christ and they will willingly die for the truth that they can no longer reject.  They will die for their faith.  The Jews and those left will be saved but through much tribulation.

No man knows the day or hour of HIS return but we will know the season as we remain abiding in HIM.  It will be when they hear, Peace and Safety then sudden destruction will come.

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so cometh as a thief in the night.  For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober,”     1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 KJV.

Is this a hard message?

Would it be better if God didn’t tell his prophets; warning of the times we are in?

Do you realize they are held accountable for those souls they are to exhort, to advise, warn and caution?

God is sounding his alarm and you can watch the news and see the pages of the Bible happening before our eyes.  The sand in the hour glass is moving quickly and the time to play church is over.  Fake and fluff won’t be able to stand anymore.  There will be a clearer distinction between the true beloved church of the living God, and those who are dry, dead, fake, deceitful religion.

God exhorts us to hear what HIS Spirit is saying to the churches.  The ministry fields are white ready for harvest.

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved, in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: that in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him,”   Ephesians 1:4-10.
