1.One,
And Only One Mediator Between God And Man. This One Mediator Is Jesus
Christ. 1Tim
2:5
A.
A great error transpires in people's lives when they choose or allow
any other person or thing stand between them and God the Father. It
is Jesus who is our all in all. He is our Good Shepherd, our Chief
Apostle, Our Teacher, The Prophet, and The Messiah known as “Christ”
in the Greek language. There are many things that Jesus is to us. He
is to be our very life! We need to be found in Christ. That means our
old man, the old ways of Adam, and his deeds, are crucified and
buried. Then we are quickened by the Spirit of God in newness of
life. When we swerve from Jesus being our everything and let
something else act as a mediator between us and God—we
lose.
B. The carnal nature seeks what it can see, touch or
hear in natural means. Therefore, those governed by carnality will
place people as spiritual mediators between themselves and God the
Father.
C. Various forms of the corrupt religious system are
maintained by the masses following men and serving men instead of
Jesus Christ the Lord.
D. It is vital for disciples of Jesus
to follow their leader the Shepherd who loved them, laid down His
life for them. Though we do not see Jesus in the flesh, we are to
believe and rejoice with joy unspeakable. This is a walk of faith not
by sight. So, seek the Lord and follow Him.
E. God may use
people through His Spirit but it is important to keep your spiritual
eyes and senses upon the Lord at all times drawing on the Lord
through vessels He chooses to use. Having said this, it is imperative
to continue to put all things to a test and try the spirits. Daily.
Moment by moment. Just because someone was of God yesterday, does not
mean they are serving the Lord today. Consider Peter the apostle how
he was influenced by Satan in opposing Jesus and His determination to
go to the cross and fulfill scripture. So, put all things to a test
and hold on to what is good, but always look for the activity of the
Spirit of God and do not be under the influence of flesh or spirits
that are contrary.
F. A horrible and hideous thing was
committed by the ancients of the faith when they departed from the
Living God who is the Fountain of Living Waters, and turned unto
cisterns, broken cisterns, that could not contain any water. This was
an illustration of when the people of Israel and Judah had turned
from God who sees, hears and knows everything, and put their
allegiance to men and a system of religion which was tangible.
G.
We have to know God as more real in His eternal realm of the spirit
than things we have known in this temporal world that is passing
away. Think about this. What is more real to you? Let God work in
your life to be so real, so wonderful, so awesome, that you walk in
this awareness and nearness of His vast power.
H. We have a
mediator. We have a person who was tempted like we in all manner yet
without sin. This is Jesus. We can come boldly to the throne of grace
to obtain mercy in the time of need. Delight in your Savior your
mediator. Turn from the replacements.
2.
The Way Of Cain.
A.
This is a very serious issue that is spoken in many ways in
scripture.
Jud
1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Core.
And,
1Jo
3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his
brother's righteous.
B.
The way of Cain is a great error. He was a murderer. He hated his
brother because his own deeds were evil and his brother's were
righteous. Talk about wicked jealousy, malice and envy. This is the
way of the flesh. Cain was of the wicked one Satan. We have to
realize that there are many people that have chosen this path. There
are even more yet to turn from Christ and go this way as Jude warned.
But woe unto them!
C. There are people who hate to see good
happen to others. There are people who want bad to happen to others,
especially those who are simple ones in the faith.
D. 1Jo
3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. Yes,
the Word says not to marvel, but it is still amazing somehow how
people will just plain hate you for no reason. They just hate you
because you are loved by God and walk with Him. They hate Him, so
they hate you. Just understand that Cain and his ways are all around
you.
E. Lastly, make sure none of this Cainism is in you.
Renounce it. Turn from it and believe God to wash and regenerate you
from this great sin.
3.
Be Sensitive To Hear.
A.
I was thinking today how we need to be very careful and sensitive to
the voice of the Lord. I had this illustrated to me as I was backing
up in a parking lot and had the quiet still small voice of the LORD
give me caution. I took note, and looked repeatedly as I was backing
up my car and sure enough, there was a erratic driver backing up
hurriedly and could have struck me. Thank you Lord. See, the Lord is
speaking but we can miss it so easily.
B. I was thanking the
Lord about this and remembered several times when I could have missed
this very quiet still small voice. There were so many times when
heeding the Lord's voice brought great blessing and Him using me in
some very profound way. I recall telling myself how I almost missed
it. There were times when this prompting has led to a person hearing
the gospel and specific words from the Lord that showed how much He
cared about them as I ministered to a total stranger.
C. Give
ear. Take heed. Be sensitive to the Lord. Know the things that cloud
and spurn the hearing of the Lord. Eating, drinking (gorging on
carnal life) and the cares of life may cloud your discernment to the
spiritual life of God. Sin, pride, foolishness, self-centeredness, or
the like are sure ways to lead you away from hearing the Lord. So,
stay crucified, and vivified in Jesus. Stay sensitive and expect God
to be guiding and leading you. After all, you are sons of God, yes?
The sons of God are led by God. The sons of Adam do as Adam. Like
father, like son...
4.
To Know
Him.
A.
Phl
3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
B.
Knowing the Lord is a lot more than knowing about Him or having
head-knowledge. It is very deep and should be the greatest delight to
you.
C. Knowing Him changes you. Loving Him. Admiring Him.
Yielding to Him. These are important keys to our spiritual life.
5.
Humanism, Ecumenicism And The One World Religion Of The Antichrist
Beast.
A.
I am convinced that the Last Days Antichrist Beast System will be/is
humanitarian. It will do seemingly “good works” for the
good of humanity all the while walking in deliberate rebellion to
God.
B. The Beast System will elevate and worship 'man' and
not God who made man.
C. So it is vital to be able discern
between good and evil, flesh and spirit, Kingdom of God versus the
Kingdom of man and Satan.
D. The melting pot of ecumenicism
blends all religious thought and spirit into one. It is a hodge-podge
of Satan the deceiver. Today, we have many in the church world
turning from the truth unto fables even denying the Lord that bought
them by their deeds and beliefs. Glossy books and goofy TV religious
programming have gone the way of the world and marketed the latest
taste in religion.
E. Feast on the Word of God and the True
Manna that is Jesus Christ Himself and nothing else will compare. But
those who eat the 'white bread' gospel have given themselves over to
the chaff of the wheat and all the man-made synthetic ideas that can
not save but only lead to death. Choose the Bread of Life, Jesus.
Jesus actually warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of Herod
and the Pharisees. Mar
8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of
the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
6.
Lay Down Your Life To Find It. Preserve Your Life To Lose It. Two
Different Gospels.
A.
Mat
10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it. Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake
shall find it.
B.
This is another warning in this regard to listen closely to the words
of people who suppose to speak on behalf of Jesus Christ. If they
speak and urge you into self-preservation then they have revealed
what gospel they preach. That is a gospel of self-reliance that leads
to death. If those who speak urge you to lay down your life and
follow Christ having simple faith in Him, then they are proclaiming
the gospel of Jesus that leads to life.
C. Which gospel do
you follow?
D. An important thing I have observed since being
involved with international communications is I have seen so many
hear and talk about the Lord without truly serving the Lord in their
personal lives. So many will say, 'we have eaten and drunk in your
presence, and you have taught in our streets' (via audios), but the
Lord will tell them to depart because they never truly served Him.
What a tragic thing that is.
I have also observed so many
people clinging to this world as God is judging it. These people
desperately love this world as Lot's wife loved Sodom and they look
back as God's fiery judgments smoke in their land. They are offended
by God. They do not love the eternal Kingdom of God or our true
calling as pilgrims and strangers in this world just passing through
unto the eternal Kingdom of our Lord. No, they hate to see their easy
selfish lifestyle of Americanism vanishing away.
Luke13:24Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek
to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the
house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand
without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us;
and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I
tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity. 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth,
when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out
E.
This is important to ponder. Be honest with yourself. Examine
yourself and see if you are truly in the faith or a reprobate.
2Cr
13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
8.
The I
m a g e O f J e a l o u s y.
Ezekiel's Revelation Of The Corrupted Religious System.
A.
I reread Ezekiel 5-10 this week as directed by the Spirit and was
stunned in my spirit by several issues in this reading.
1. “Now
is the judgment”. It is an evil time. An evil time. God is
going to judge His own professing people first before the world. They
have gone astray for the most part and rejected the word of the
prophets who called them to amend their ways and turn from their
wickedness. They have refused and say that God will not act and He
does not see what they are truly doing. God is furious over this.
2.
God showed Ezekiel the evil among His sanctuary. In fact, God had to
leave it due to the wickedness. Eze
8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do?
[even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth
here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet
again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.
a.
How sad when God has to leave His own house! Who cares? Certainly not
the prophets, the priests or the people. Jer
2:6 and 8
3.
God showed Ezekiel His own personal hurt. He showed Ezekiel deeper
and yet deeper sin of the religious people. God had a broken heart by
their whorish heart for other idols.
4. God showed the 70
leaders and the evil of their imaginations. God showed Ezekiel the
women weeping for the heathen god Tammuz (Easter). God showed Ezekiel
the 25 leaders facing East and worshiping the sun.
5. God
showed Ezekiel the “IMAGE
OF JEALOUSY”
that
provokes God to jealousy. Woe, woe woe.
And what is this image
ladies and gentlemen? What is an image but the works of man's hands.
What image do men make but one of their own imagination? The image
the religious idolaters have made and continue to make is one of
their own religious imagination and it provokes God to wrath. He
leaves the scene and they do not even perceive.
“Thus
says the LORD, I am against the idols. I am against the idol makers.
I am against the idol worshipers. I shall utterly confound your gods.
I am the LORD. I am God and there is no other. I am He that founded
the heavens. The earth and all the things My own hands have made.
Repent. Repent for I am bringing judgment upon all the gods of the
land. I shall utterly purge My House. I shall sweep it clean says the
Lord. I shall be sanctified among My people and they shall know that
I am the LORD.”
Ezekiel
8:3And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of
mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the
heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the
door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the
seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 4And,
behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the
vision that I saw in the plain. 5Then said he unto me, Son of man,
lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine
eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of
the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6He said furthermore
unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great
abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should
go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations.
9.
Last Weeks THEMES FOR the WEEK Confirmations Rapid From Shore To
Shore.
A.
Last week I wrote in THEMES FOR THE WEEK about the lies and myths
that are projected by the powers-that-be. I documented the fake
stories, the media made stories and fake pictures. This week saw the
LORD shouting from the rooftop the hypocrisy of the lying leaders
lying to the liars of the world. Praise God for His truth. God never
lies. No truth is a lie. Lies are for the liars.

10.
God Is Judging And Here Is Why.
By
Trevor Davis April 28, 2006
A. God
is now standing up to judge. He is going to send multiple cataclysmic
judgments suddenly and at the same time. Though He sends signs from
the heavens and the earth below, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms,
winds, heat and cold, though He sends a lack of food and water,
pestilence, plagues and wars, though there is political oppression
and tyranny the majority of the masses will refuse to repent. They
will NOT...
11.
Last Week The Fires And Tornadoes. This Week The Floods.
A.
Luk
21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
12.
Void Devoid Ministers Of Ecumenicism. Empty Vessels Thriving.
A.
Discern.
B. Watch and pray.
C. Test the spirits.
D. Don't
believe every spirit.
E. Prove all things. Hold on to what is
good.
F. The Word and Spirit agree. They are one. No
contradictions in the ministry of Christ.
G. God's ministries
serve Him, love Him, speak of Him, glorify Him, obey Him, are like
Him.
H. Satan's ministries are like him, they lie, deceive, hate,
are about themselves, are without God, are without the Spirit.
I.
God said in Malachi that those who fear the Lord will speak often one
to another and they will discern him that serves God from him that
serves Him not. Malachi
3:16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and
the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was
written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought
upon his name. 17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in
that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man
spareth his own son that serveth him. 18Then shall ye return, and
discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that
serveth God and him that serveth him not.
God
bless you. Serve the Lord. He is good.
