Subject:  Today's Dream: Sibaca

Earthquake report @ USGS    several 9.9's Richter scale

Trevor:

 

I saw today the following in a dream. 

 

USGS earthquake report:

 

“Sibaca”...  Several 9.9's on the Richter scale

 

For the record,

I believe it was "Sibaca".  It was a name unfamiliar to me.  This was the first name I put in Google to research.

 

We know that Jesus Christ has foretold that in the last days there will be earthquakes in various places AND famines AND pestilence...

(Sibaca is in Guatemala 15 miles north of Guatemala City near the fault Motagua that produced a 7.5 quake Feb. 4, 1976.) 

I can categorically attest to the 9.9’s visible in the dream on the USGS earthquake report.  However, the name “Sibaca” is only a strong impression in my memory.  We can be sure that there will be many great earthquakes as we enter the tribulation of the end times spoken by Christ and all of the prophets recorded in scripture.

 

 

The Cult Of “Christian” Individualism

9/12/2006

 

 

The aim of this message is to address a trend in common forms of the Christian faith that emphasize the individual to the point of error.  While individuals are of the utmost importance to God, it is unscriptural to stress individualism to the point that Gods ultimate purposes are discarded, muted or unknown for the sake of the individual quest of pleasure, ease and self-fulfillment.

All throughout history there have been countless forms of religions that have multiple gods that serve the needs of the individual.  The multitudes have selected various gods that offered certain benefits.  Some gods offered prosperity, while others offered fertility, or, success in war.  Other deities promoted debauchery and vile hedonistic pleasures.  People chose their god according to what they wanted out of the god.  Authentic Christianity is not so!

True Christianity Is Not Just Another Religion

Make no mistake about it-- the One and only True God is not like any other god or deity created in the imagination of men or as some worshiped evil spirit.  God the Father is holy, just, good, and pure from all evil.  He is loving and yet mighty.  He demands reverence and has offered freely through faith and repentance fellowship with Himself through His Son Jesus Christ.

Clearly, the Word of God is not intended to be as an enchantment to fulfill individualistic agendas or self-will desires.  The individual is part of a many-member body of Christ.  This many-member body of Christ is known as the church and the body has a head, which is Jesus Christ Himself.  So, the individual is to be submissive to the general purpose of God that is in Christ.  It is common to find individuals that see their faith in Christ is all about them.  The world revolves around them.  They use Gods gifts, callings and Word to bring about their own good as they see it.  This is the cult of christian individualism. 

It is important to remember that Christianity stands upon the foundation of the Kingdom of God.  That is the key message of the entire scripturethe Kingdom of God.  The redemption of Jesus Christ is the door that leads into the Kingdom of God.  I see the need to urge the people to be cautious and examine your own life that you are part of the purposes of God in His Kingdom and not using your redemptive faith in Jesus just for the mundane self-intents.  There is a difference!

Thank God that we can pray to Him regarding our own individual trials and problems.  Thank God that we can come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain help in the time of need.  God does care about us as individuals.  He knows us.  He knows our names and calls us to follow Him.  The error becomes evident when the individuals leaves God or chooses their own path yet uses God to bring it about.  I am exhorting in this message the need to be careful about this.  Dont lose sight of the Kingdom of God.  Dont forget the purposes God has.  Fear Him and love Him.  Submit yourself to His plans and trust Him to be with you on an individual basis as you lay down your self-willed plans to complete the Fathers.

God bless you,

The Ominous Presence:

YHWH Sanctifies Himself In Judgment

9/3/2006

As I awoke this day, I was aware of the ominous presence of the LORD.  My spirit called to the LORD in humble adoration of His glorious Person.  My heart echoed the words of the prophet Isaiah:

“There is no one but you O LORD.  You are the LORD.”

(Excerpts of Isaiah 45:6)

I prayed to the LORD and delighted in Jesus sacrifice on my behalf.  I am so aware that God is risen to judgment—He stands to plead with all flesh and reprove the world for its iniquity.


 

“But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.”  (Isaiah 5:16)

http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/c/1157295530-5396.html#16

Ominous: –adjective

1.portending evil or harm; foreboding, threatening, inauspicious: an ominous bank of clouds

2.  having the significance of an omen.


[Origin: 1580–90; < L ōminōsus portentous, equiv. to ōmin- (s. of ōmen) omen + -ōsus -ous]

Ominous, portentous, threatening, menacing, fateful are adjectives describing that which forebodes a serious, significant, and often harmful outcome. Ominous, derived from omen “a predictor of outcomes,” usually suggests evil or damaging eventualities: ominous storm clouds; an ominous silence. Portentous, although it may suggest evil results, often stresses a momentous or very important outcome: a portentous moment in history; a portentous escalation of hostilities. Threatening may suggest calamity or great harm but sometimes mere unpleasantness: a threatening rumble from the volcano; A threatening look from his brother caused him to quickly change the subject. Menacing always suggests serious damage as an outcome: a disease menacing the entire population; He advanced with a menacing swagger. Fateful most often stresses the great or decisive importance of what it describes: a fateful encounter between two future leaders; a fateful day that changed our world.

The Deceived

8/31/2006

John 16:

1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea , the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

2 Timothy 3:

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 . For men shall be lovers of their own selves , covetous , boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3. Without natural affection , trucebreaker s, false accusers , incontinent, fierce , despisers of those that are good,

4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth : men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11 . Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution .

13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived .

Matthew 10:

21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake : but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Mark 13:

12. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

13. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Remember:

People do strange things when they are terrified!

People do strange things when they are intimidated!

People do strange things when they are starving!

People do strange things when they are demonized!

So, be wise as a serpent but harmless as a dove!

Sincerely,

Trevor Davis

Date With A Harlot:
A Two-way Street

8/27/2006

Subject:
Harlotry, repentance.
Recognizing the evil of promiscuous ‘dating', and,
The need for repentance.

This week I read Luke 15, which is all about the value God places on repentance. Contained in this chapter is the well-known story known as the Prodigal Son . I would like to paraphrase the story for you and point out some important themes I noted as I prayerfully read this chapter.

First, Jesus told two stories about how there is joy in heaven when a sinner repents before God. While a sinner is transgressing against God, He views that person as if they are lost. He illustrates the passion God has for the lost by a story of a woman who lost one of her 10 coins. It is written that the woman sweeps the whole house until she finds the missing coin. Upon finding the lost coin she calls her friends and rejoices. So too does God and heaven rejoice when someone realizes the error of their way and comes back to God by repenting for the wrong they have done.

The Story

There was a rich man who had two sons. The younger asked his father for his share of the inheritance and the father obliged the son by giving him his share. Soon after receiving the monies the son gathered it up and left into distant land far away from the influence of the father. This younger son lacked the character of the father and began to spend his money feverously in riotous living. Soon, he spent all of his money.

A mighty famine came into the land, and the young man was lacking money, food and shelter. He had to take a job feeding swine from a businessman with agreed upon terms. Due to the constraints of the famine, the young man being so hungry would have eaten the food he was feeding the swine. But, the managers of the business said no because there was only enough food for the people that worked for their hire and food for the animals with none to spare.

The young man came to himself by realizing that if he were at home with his father he would have all that he needed. But, now, he couldn't even eat the diet fit for a pig's trough. He thought to himself that he would go back home and tell his father that he had sinned against God and his father, and was no longer worthy to be called a son. He thought to himself that he would ask his father if he could just be a hired hand. (THIS ILLUSTRATES TRUE HUMBLE REPENTANCE)

Upon returning home, he acted out his thoughts and told his father everything. The father loved his son and rejoiced, garmented the son with a robe, placed a ring upon his hand and called for a huge banquet in celebrating his returned son.

The elder son was jealous and thought ill of his father's reaction. But, the father pointed out to the elder son ‘this your brother was dead but is now alive, and was lost but is now found. You, elder son, have been free to enjoy all the things of your father'.
A Rose By Another Name Is Still A Rose

I share this story because of the manner of life that the younger son lived so greatly depicts the society in which we live. The blessings that God gave to enjoy are too often taken and squandered in wild lifestyles that are contrary to godly living.

The term “riotous living” comes from profligate . It means to dissipate or dissolute. These two words mean shameless immorality and extravagant spending. The younger son in the Prodigal story took his share of money that came from his father and began to spend it upon vanity and women.

Can you picture the scene? Can you see this young man buying countless houses decked with fine furniture, multiple expensive cars, fine jewelry, watches, and wardrobe? Anything that would make the young man appear as something grand he would buy it. Then come the ladies, the vain ones that are allured by the power and the prominence of pomp. They wink, scheme and scam in order to ‘go out' with the young man.

Repeatedly, the young man dates a girl and has sexual relations with her. He goes out with this one. He goes out with that one. Over and over he takes the pleasure of having sex with countless women. He calls it dating. They call it dating too. God calls it harlotry.

In the Prodigal Son story the elder son pointed this out (Luke 15:30). All the women that the younger son had spent his money on where harlots. That's right. Harlots. They may not have thought that's what they were. Just like women today don't think that's what they are when they have sexual relations outside of God ordained marriage.

I hope this discussion helps you see the truth of harlotry in today's culture. Nothing is new under the sun. As it has been so it shall be as it is written in Ecclesiastes. So, regardless that our modern civilization whitewashes sin the propaganda of TV sitcoms, magazines and advertising, right is still right and wrong is still wrong as prescribed in scripture.

This is the hour in which to seek God while He may be found. Forsake your evil ways and call on the LORD to forgive and cleanse you for leaving the Father's presence and sinning so greatly against Him. Turn from the way of the Harlot.

Sincerely,

Trevor Davis www.soundingthealarm.com

 

Judgment Of The Sleeping-Speechless-Sightless

Dog Ministries

8/29/2006

1.God is Judging By Causing Sleep And Blindness To Erring Spiritual Leaders

Isaiah 56:
10. His watchmen are blind : they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber .

11. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough , and they are shepherds that cannot understand : they all look to their own way , every one for his gain, from his quarter.

  Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Blind, IGNORANT, speechless, asleep.

Insatiable greedy dogs.

Shepherds, those responsible to guide, CANNOT UNDERSTAND!

Absorbed with their own SELF Interests. The World revolves around them.

They are deluded and lack perception of precarious dangers.

These Dog Ministries think all is well and only getting better.

2. _The Hypocritical Ministries That Cannot Discern the Signs of the Times

Matthew 16:

2. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

3. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring . O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

3. _The Obvious Signs In Front Of The Eyes

Mark 13:

  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. (Itemized list!)

And,

28. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

29. So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

4. _ Judgment Begins First In The House Of God!

1Peter 4:

17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

5. _Why God Judges Spiritual Leaders With Blindness

Isaiah 29:

10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep , and hath closed your eyes : the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed , which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

12. And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

The Earthquake

8/16/2006

By Trevor Davis

(I usually do not discuss this especially last year because I believe that God is both sending people out of judgment and into judgment)

 

  In 2005, the LORD told me that there would be multiple cataclysmic events coming suddenly and at the same time.  He inferred that there would be more events as the Indonesia quake and tsunami.  He showed me a thick fog rolling in upon the land as the people slept.  There was a tremendous "check" in the spirit realm over California.  The atmosphere, though it had been my life-long residence, rather repulsed and felt uncomfortable to me.  I could hear "danger, danger, danger" repeatedly in my spirit at times. 

I saw at 3 a.m. on March 10th 2005 the vision I call the "Rude Awakening".    I was awakened from sleep and..."I was immediately struck by the extreme silence. I got up and walked into the next room and looked out across the horizon through the window. It was sooo quiet. Too quiet. I am aware of God showing the urgency of this hour. I thought to myself that this is the calm before the storm and the stillness before a violent shaking. I sense the shaking is so severe it is like a wild animal that shakes its prey by the neck unrelentlessly and without mercy. The sense of awe filled me."  I could hear the sounds of great rumbling.  I could perceive the souls crying in terror and sheer horror, as their world was devastated in smoke and ruins. I saw a women facing me crying as the day was dawning and she stood among the smoke and ruins of her home.

This event is so great and fierce. Who shall not fear the LORD when His judgments are made manifest? I was struck by how horrible a way to be awakened from spiritual sleep!

 I had the awareness that God has endured so long the disobedience of the wicked and the people. (Ephesians 5:6) The time will come when He can't hold back any longer and suddenly—He shakes His hand. Ohhhh….

I saw a vision regarding my neighbor's backyard.  I saw tarps in the large backyard with groups of families laid out residing.  I perceived the Spirit of the LORD comforting the people in that calamitous 'day'.  I saw the brick fencing severely damaged.  The homes were largely uninhabitable with corners of the homes caved in. 

Also, I had a dream as I reported 6.21.06 on the Trunews broadcast.   I heard a girgling sound and rumble coming below in the backyard.  The pool was frothy white with half of the water sloshed out of it.  I looked over the fence and saw the neighbor's pool in the same condition.  Then, I realized that this was an earthquake.  I looked up as I stood on the balcony and saw the rim of the roof swaying across the sky by 4o degrees.  This home was on Arbolado Drive in Fullerton California.  My parents had owned that home since 1969.  This dream was sometime between April and June 20 2005.

I hope this helps you in your endeavor to warn the people to prepare for what is surely coming.

Please make use of my website.  I have a transcript of the original message that the LORD gave me there called The Alarm .

It has 2.5 pages of scripture references for study.

There is audio there as well. 

Thank-you,

Trevor Davis

This is a picture of the house that I was living in at the times the LORD gave me the dream and vision regarding earthquakes. It is in Orange County California.

 

The “Rude Awakening” vision occurred just above to the right of the palm tree. I lived in those two rooms at the time. I was standing on this balcony in the dream of the earthquake in which the pool girgled as ½ the water was sloshed out and was visibly frothy white…As I stood on the balcony looking up across the rim of the roof it swayed across the sky by about 40 degrees.

Ready Or Not
And
The Seeing Blind
Wednesday, August 02, 2006

 

Isaiah 26:

20.  Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21.  For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Isaiah 42:

12.  Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.

 

 13.  The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

 14.  I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

  15.  I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.

 16.  And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

 Isaiah 29:

18.  And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind* shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

19.  19.  The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

 *These “blind” are those who know they cannot see without God’s enlightenment.  They judge not by the hearing of the ear nor the seeing of the eye.

 Isaiah 11:

3.  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:) 

 And 

 John 7:

24.   24.    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Dear beloved of God:

Please note in these texts that God gives the “blind” the ability to “see”.  Realize that this is a dependence on God for true eyesight that comes from Him alone.  Do not make the mistake as the religious system that Jesus rebuked recorded in scripture.  The ones that think they can see and rely on their own understanding risk the danger of becoming blind! 

The key is to remain humble and keep your heart with all diligence.  Let the fear of the LORD be in you of a passion.  Make sure it is not just talk or an appearance

(Isaiah 29:10-13)

John 9:

39.  And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

 40.  And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

 41.  Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Bearing His Reproach

8/1/2006

The Spirit of the LORD is speaking today that the people of the LORD are to be prepared to bear the reproach of Christ.  Be ready to choose the priveledge to suffer for Christ’s sake.  Surely the LORD is indicating that the same things that befell the Lord Jesus Christ at the hands of a religious and carnal world will again befall His disciples.  For a disciple is not greater than his Master nor is a servant greater than his lord.  If they have done this to the Master they shall also do to His followers!

1.  Matthew 10

:21.  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.           
22.  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23.  But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24.  The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
 25.  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.
If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
 26.  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.  (Exposure!)
 27.  What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. (What and how you are to speak)
28.  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
 29.  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
 30.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31.  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32.  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
 33.  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.  (The severity!)
 34.  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35.  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36.  And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
 37.  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
 38.  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
 39.  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

2.  Hebrews 13:

12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 
 13.  Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14.  For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

_______________________________________________________

[1) a reproach a) such as Christ suffered, for the cause of God, from his enemies]

Hebrews 5:

7.  Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8.  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9.   And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Hebrews 11:

23.  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24.  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of   Pharaoh's daughter;
 25.  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
 26.  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27.  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Luke 6:

22.  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23.  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

The Reproach of Christ:

§         Jesus was completely obedient yet accused of being evil demon possessed.

§          Jesus represented the TRUTH but yet He is accused falsely of being a liar.

§         Jesus was falsely accused.  11.  False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.  12.  They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.  Psalms 35:11-12)

Jesus words were twisted out of context.

§         Jesus was rejected.
Jesus was resisted.
Jesus was betrayed.

§         Jesus had to endure a false religious system.

§         Jesus was persecuted.

§         Jesus was promised the throne of the Kingdom of His father King David (an eternal throne) but yet knew He must die at the hands of the rulers and gentiles. 

§         Jesus was troubled by a faithless and perverse generation.

The Conclusion Of The Matter

1Peter 2:

19.  For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
 20.  For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

 21.  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

 22.  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23.    Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

(Matthew 10) General Instructions From Jesus:

1.      Walk in the steps of Christ and bear the reproach.

2.      Fear not men.

3.      Confess the Lord Jesus Christ—Do not be ashamed of Him! 

4.      Love the Lord more than anyone or anything including yourself!

Jesus Christ:Our Life And Example

Friday, July 14, 2006

1.  We are going to look and admire Jesus’ life and qualities because it is the Father’s goal for us to be conformed into the same image!

2.  We will discuss qualities of Jesus.

3.  And, finally, we will pray one for another that these elements be formed in us.

NOTE:  What happened to Paul the Apostle that he would be changed from Saul the persecutor of the faithful in Christ-- to greatly desiring that Christ be formed in believers? _____________________________

*A.  Galatians 4:19

  My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

*B.  Romans 8:29

  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30.      Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Christ the Servant Son Of Obedient Humility Philippians 2:5- 11 

5.  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6.  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7.  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8.  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10.  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

B.  Opposite the First Adam:  Who desired to be equal with God, disobeyed and died!

II  New Creation

A.John 3:3-8 

2.Born from above.  Born of the spirit.  [YOU MUST BE IN ORDER TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD--OR SEE IT!]

3.  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5.  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
 6.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (PRINCIPLE)


2.  New Creature/Creation/man


2Corinthians 5:

 17.  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

3. New Man/Old Man

Ephesians 4:24/Ephesians 4:22

*4.  The Vine and the branches:

John 15:

 1.  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
 2.  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
 3.  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
 4.  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
 5.  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
 6.  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
 7.  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
 8.  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciple

 

 5. Above/below:  /NATURE or sphere of life*/  /"In Christ"/

1Corinthians 15:

20.  But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
 21.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
 22.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
 23.  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
 24.  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
 25.  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
 26.  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
 27.  For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
 28.  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
 29.  Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
 30.  And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
 31.  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
 32.  If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
 33.  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
 34.  Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
 35.  But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
 36.  Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
 37.  And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
 38.  But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
 39.  All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
 40.  There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
 41.  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
 42.  So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
 43.  It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
 44.  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
* 45.  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
 *46.  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
 *47.  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.  *(sphere...nature...quality...source...)
 *48.  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
 49.  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
 50.  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
 51.  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
 52.  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
 53.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
 54.  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
 55.  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
 56.  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
 57.  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 58.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

 

6.  Divine Nature/

2Peter 1:

 *4.  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 

Not deity.  But, nature-essence-quality-sphere of life.  Abundant life.

 

7.  "One"/Unity

*1Corinthians 6:

 17.  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

 

8.  Above/ below

John 8: 23. 

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:

 24.  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
 25.  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
 26.  I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
 27.  They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
 28.  Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
 29.  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
 30.  As he spake these words, many believed on him.
 31.  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
 32.  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
 33.  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
 34.  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
 35.  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
 36.  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
 37.  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.  (note)
 38.  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. (NOTE)
 39.  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. (principle)
 40.  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
 41.  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
 42.  Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
 43.  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. (another principle)(HINT: can't understand sound of speech when don't understand concept (logos))
 44.  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (principle: speaking of self)
 45.  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
 46.  Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
 47.  He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. (principle)
 48.  Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
 49.  Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
 50.  And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
 51.  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
 52.  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
 53.  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
 54.  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
 55.  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
 56.  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
 57.  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
 58.  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
 59.  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

 

9.  Flesh can't please God

Romans 8:

 8.  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

and

1Corinthians 2:

  1. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Zadok” Ministers Teaching The Difference

Between Holy & Profane, Discern Unholy & Holy

Ezekiel 44                                                                              6/13/2006

 1.  Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.

 2.  Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.

 3.  It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

 4.  Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

 5.  And the Lord said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.

 6.  And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,

 7.  In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

 8.  And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

 9.  Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

 10.  And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.

 11.  Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.

12.     Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity.* 

[ACTS 5:  Great Fear To Fall  On the “church” for hypocrisy:  stage playing, acting, falsehood, guile, error deceit, pretend, psuedo!!       Great Fear!! Of the LORD   (Acts 5:5,11)

Many to die!  Every skin color:  White, black, red, brown, yellow.  By this you shall know that I am the LORD”,  You shall see!]

 13.  And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.

 14.  But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

 15.  But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:

 16.  They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

 17.  And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

 18.  They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.

 19.  And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.

 20.  Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.

 21.  Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.

 22.  Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.

 23.  And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

 24.  And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

 25.  And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.

 26.  And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

 27.  And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord God.

 28.  And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.

 29.  They shall eat the meat off
