INDEX To THEMES FOR THE WEEK (Weekly Index for easy reference)

October 16, 2011
1. Run The Race With Endurance That Is Set Before Us (Hebrews 12:1)
A. You will run after something in life.

B. Will you run after the course that is set for you by God Himself?

C. Or, will you run after vanity?

D. Hbr 12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
a. We are surrounded by the reality of those who have gone before us into the Kingdom of God.
b. To run effectively, we must lay down the weights and sins that easily encumber man.
c. We are told to run with endurance. This is not a sprint to walk with God. He that endures unto the end shall be saved as Jesus said. Mat 24:13

E. Many, too many, run after other things that lead them away from the Lord. 2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

F. 1Pe 4:4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]: 1Pe 4:5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

G. If you are going to win the race that God has for you, you must do it the right way. 1Cr 9:24 ¶ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 1Cr 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible

H. Our walk with the Lord is likened to a race. Run to win. Be wise and get rid of the baggage. Run through Jesus Christ and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. But, you must crucify the flesh and its nature. It must be buried, and you must walk in the quickened power of the Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead.
1Cr 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway
and,
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection: Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

2. The Many That Are Leaving Jesus For Other Loves...
A. I am hearing of many reports of professing believers in Jesus that are going into fornication. In this late hour? It blows my mind. We ought to walk circumspectly and have our garments pure and un-spotted from the world. This is not a time to fornicate nor fornicate with the world. A friendship with the world is the same as becoming an enemy with God. Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

B. 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness

C. These are they that hang-out among the religious crowd or even ministries, committing harlotry but wiping their mouths as if there is nothing to there sin. Just like a harlot.
Pro 30:20 ¶ Such [is] the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

D. 2Pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

E. 2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
Note the language here.
1. They have FORSAKEN the right way.
2. The have GONE ASTRAY.
3. They FOLLOW the Way of Balaam.
4. The Way of Balaam loves unrighteousness!

F. This is why we test the spirits.

G. This is why we do not believe every spirit.

H. This is why we examine fruit. Good trees bare good fruit and evil trees bare evil fruit. Simple. Children get this.

I. This is why we study the scriptures because they can not be broken. What is written is forever settled. We must let the scriptures and the Holy Spirit which are in unity be the standard for everything. What is not of the Word is not of God. He that will not hear God's Word is not of God.

3. God Is Bringing The Followers Of Jesus Into A Singleness Of Heart.
A. As we recognize the apostasy and heresy of our day in the religious world, God is doing a work in our hearts that only He can do. He is cleansing us from the inside out. As in the early Church that was filled with the Holy Spirit, God is creating clean hearts that are devoted to Him. We are finding God is uniting our hearts to fear Him. He is removing the divided heart that is for God and for other things, people and gods.

B. As this singleness of heart takes place in the individual believers, a sincerity in the relationship with each other will take place. The hypocrisy and image projecting that is so common from insincere hearts is leaving. This is where we find true fellowship one with another. And, as we walk in the light as He is in the light, the blood of His Son does cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is where the unity comes and the blessing of the anointing of unity will manifest upon the Body of Christ, the true Church of Jesus.

C. Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

D. We are not talking about Church Business that is a government sponsored entity as in the 501c3 corporate status that is prevalent in the United States. We are not talking about entertainment centers or social religious clubs. We are talking about the House that is not made by man, but is made by God and inhabited by God through the Spirit of God.

E. Many professing Christians have spurned the call of God to come outside the corrupt religious system. They set on pews listening over and over to dead men talking that spew leaven and carnality upon the religious people. As in Jeremiah's day, so to today, we have the priests—the so-called pastors sitting as leaders over churches, that are sponsored by false prophetic authorities that are in rebellion to the LORD. It is a system that has fed itself. The priests bare rule by the false prophets. The false prophets are listened to because the false priests encourage the followers to heed their words and deeds. And, as Jeremiah said, the people love it so. What shall you do in the end thereof? This is the question.

F. I want to talk about Jesus. Church people want to talk about church for the most part.

G. It is the Lord that bought me not a “church”.

H. Our bottom-line duty is to walk humbly before the Lord in sincerity and singleness of heart. He is the One that bought us in His own blood on the cross.

4. “Accord”. And Being In One Accord...
A. Act 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

B. Lexicon: "accord"--'homo-thumadon'----1) with one mind, with one accord, with one passionA unique Greek word, used 10 of its 12 New Testament occurrences in the Book of Acts, helps us understand the uniqueness of the Christian community. Homothumadon is a compound of two words meaning to "rush along" and "in unison". The image is almost musical; a number of notes are sounded which, while different, harmonize in pitch and tone. As the instruments of a great concert under the direction of a concert master, so the Holy Spirit blends together the lives of members of Christ's church.

C. As we enter further and deeper into the last days as outlined in scripture, they will be very dark days indeed. Gross darkness shall be upon the darkened alienated people, but their shall be great light and glory for those who have called upon the Lord in sincerity.

D. A great unison, harmony, accord shall be among the true followers of Jesus as they submit to their Head the Lord Jesus Christ and come out of
all that is defiled so they may worship the LORD in spirit and in truth.

E. As we read John 4 and what Jesus explained to the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus said that the worshipers of God will not be true worshipers based on their location as in a mountain or even Jerusalem. The true worshipers of God will worship God in spirit and in truth.

F. True growth will transpire where God's presence is honored. True growth in conviction and manifestation of the Spirit of God will take place among the sincere ones that are following the Lord the Shepherd. We must be about our Father's business and not the many “pastor's” of church land's business. They have turned the Father's House into a den of thieves. They have turned the gospel of our Lord into a mammon seed doctrine for their own financial lusts.

G. As we align with our God and Lord Jesus Christ we will also find ourselves aligned with other true followers of Jesus though they be few as Jesus said. But it will be sweet fellowship, sincere, holy and blessed. We will speak the same thing, be of the same spirit and mind just as others before us experienced that have run the race that was set before them.

5. The Disorder Of The Loss Of Smell. The Dog Do On The Shoe That The Religious Can Not Seem To Smell.
A. God is graphic at times in scripture.

B. The flesh is a stench to God. Its ways are anathema to Him. The flesh and the ways of the world are at odds with God. They are enmity with Him.

C. God loves the world and gave His Son to be a ransom for those who will believe upon Jesus.

D. But, we are not to love the world. We are to love God. We are to love each other in Jesus name.

E. There is a great disorder among the religious world today. They have stepped in the dog-pile and have trodden on throughout their life without cleansing. Now, they do not seem to smell the offensive odor of the vileness of this world. They have become comfortable and acquainted with it.

F. This is not so with God. He can never get use to sin. He can never accept the flesh. He can never be pleased with the stench of such things.

G. It is hard to tell someone that has “stepped in the dop-pile” and walked throughout their house that their home stinks!

H. But this is the analogy I have to express the fallen state and the smell it has to God by the religious Christian World.

I. God is looking for a sweet smell. A sweet savor that stems from humble faithful obedience.

J. This is why God is calling His people to come out and be separate from the unbelievers, the infidels, those who do not believe...They may say they believe but by their actions, desires and words they prove that they are not believers in Jesus at all.

6. God Has Ordained Specific Aspects Of Suffering For His Children.
A. As we read the scriptures, we find that the those who have gone before us in the faith have suffered. Jesus Himself is our chief example of suffering. If we follow Jesus then we too shall suffer.

B. Jesus yielded to the Father's specific plan of suffering. It was the cross whereby He bore the sins of the world upon His own body on the tree.
C. Isa 50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. Isa 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting Isa 50:7 ¶ For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

D. This is what the LORD has prompted me to share here, that we are not to be rebellious. We are not to turn away back from what God has ordained for us. Take the cup the Lord gives you. Drink it.

E. This is very deep and very real.

F. The blessings that come through this process of suffering is an eternal blessing. God has chosen this way in His high wisdom that is farther than the heavens are above the earth. They are deep, broad and wide, but they are blessed for those who chose His way in Jesus Christ.

G. So, do not think it strange by the fire trial that is to try you as if some strange thing is happening. This is the way of the Lord. The trying of your faith by fire will purify you for the glory of God.
1Pe 4:12 ¶ Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1. Spiritual Deafness And Hearing Loss Are Issues Of The Heart.

2. Those Who RESIST The Truth And The Holy Spirit.
A. 2Ti 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

3. Corruption: Rotten Fruit Is Rotten Regardless What Fruit It Is.
A. A rotten apple is just as rotten as a rotten pear, orange or fig.

B. Too often professing believers excuse corruption and rottenness based on what is the nature of the subject fruit.

C. Many excuse politicians corruption based on their persona.

D. Many tolerate and promote politicians for example even though they are unbelievers, promote other Jesus' and gospels. This is corruption.

E. Large portions of the Christian World are involved in promoting men like Mit Romney, a Mormon, as a potential presidency though he believes he will become a god. They will support a Mormon politician even though they believe Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers. Or, that Mormons deny the cross of Christ is the way of salvation through grace through faith.

F. Why would a believer in Jesus Christ align with a man who believes he will become a god?

G. Why would a believer in Jesus Christ promote a person as a governing official who believes the lie of Satan that man can become god?

H. Haven't these Christians read the scripture where it is said that the man of sin will proclaim that he is god?

I. Can anyone honestly state that Jesus Christ would endorse a Mormon or any other man to governance who does not serve Him?

J. Would any of the apostles honestly encourage the pure saints of God to entangle in the world of politics?

K. Would Paul, James, Peter or John actually involve themselves with men and women of the political world who were governed by lies, corruption, bribes and unlawful activities?

L. The true faithful of Christ must remain un-spotted from the world and its lusts and corruptions. Stand pure before the LORD and be led by Him through yielded prayer.

4. “You Shall Have No Other gods Before Me”, says the LORD. Dt. 5:7; Ex 20:3; Lk 4:8
A. Many are turning aside unto false doctrines that deny Jesus Christ.

B. Many are following the doctrine of the Serpent that they may become gods.

C. Many are believing the lie that they themselves and of themselves are the christ.*

D. Many are going astray in believing there are many paths to God.

E. Many are deluded that they know God when they exercise vain practices such as “praying to Buddha”, or offering incense to an altar.

F. There is but One True God the Father. And there is but one Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cor 8:6

G. There is no other god.

H. God is the True God.
