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 offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30.     And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

31.     31.  The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.

Humble Leadership

Matthew 20:

25.  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

 26.  But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

 27.  And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28.     Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Luke 21: 35   For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Psalms 2

 1.  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

 2.  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

 3.  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

 4.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

 5.  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

 6.  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

 7.  I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.

 8.  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

 9.  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

 10.  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

 11.  Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12.     Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Acts 4

 1.  And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

 2.  Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

 3.  And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

 4.  Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

 5.  And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

 6.  And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

 7.  And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

 8.  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

 9.  If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

 10.  Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

 11.  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

 12.  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 13.  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

 14.  And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

 15.  But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

 16.  Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

 17.  But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

 18.  And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

 19.  But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

 20.  For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

 21.  So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

 22.  For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

 23.  And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

 24.  And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

 25.  Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

 26.  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

 27.  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

 28.  For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

 29.  And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

 30.  By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

 31.  And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

 32.  And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

 33.  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

 34.  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

 35.  And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

 36.  And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, the son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,     37.  Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

False Shepherds:

Ezekiel 34

1.  And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

 2.  Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

 3.  Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.

 4.  The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

 5.  And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

 6.  My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

 7.  Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;

 8.  As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

 9.  Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord;

 10.  Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

 11.  For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

 12.  As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

 13.  And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

 14.  I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

 15.  I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.

 16.  I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

 17.  And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

 18.  Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

 19.  And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

 20.  Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

 21.  Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

 22.  Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

 23.  And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

 24.  And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.

 25.  And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

 26.  And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

 27.  And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

 28.  And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.

 29.  And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.

 30.  Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord God.

 31.  And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.

Jeremiah 23

1.  Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

 2.  Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.

 3.  And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

 4.  And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.

 5.  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

 6.  In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

 7.  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

 8.  But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

 9.  Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

 10.  For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

 11.  For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.

 12.  Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.

 13.  And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

 14.  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

 15.  Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

 16.  Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

 17.  They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

 18.  For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?

 19.  Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

 20.  The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

 21.  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

 22.  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

 23.  Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?

 24.  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

 25.  I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

 26.  How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

 27.  Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

 28.  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

 29.  Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

 30.  Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

 31.  Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

 32.  Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

 33.  And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.

 34.  And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

 35.  Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

 36.  And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

 37.  Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?

 38.  But since ye say, The burden of the Lord; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;

 39.  Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

40.     And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

Ezekiel 13  (True Prophets lead the people away from iniquity!)

 1.  And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

 2.  Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord;

 3.  Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

 4.  O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

 5.  Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.

 6.  They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

 7.  Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?

 8.  Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.

 9.  And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.

 10.  Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:

 11.  Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.

 12.  Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?

 13.  Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.

 14.  So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

 15.  Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

 16.  To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God.

 17.  Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

 18.  And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?

 19.  And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

 20.  Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.

 21.  Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

 22.  Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

 23.  Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

God’s Question:  “What is the chaff to the wheat?” (Jeremiah 23:28)

28.  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

 29.  Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

 30.  Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.

 31.  Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

32.     Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.

(Let God’s Word speak for Himself.  Get out of the way…) Warning against misrepresenting God, falsely attributing man’s word for God’s Word, distortion, adding and subtracting from what God said, creating a “message” by threading scripture out of context into a man’s message

Satan The Subtle

The garden:  Distorts God’s commands.  Misleads, leads astray by seducing.

Appeals to basic 3 lusts:  (1 John 2:15,16,17; Genesis 3:6)

Lust of the Eyes—Covetousness—Craving what isn’t yours.

Lust of flesh—Experience the forbidden.  Pleasure outside of God’s ordained way.

Pride of life—power, prominence, fame, notoriety.  EGO of the Self.

(Genesis 3:1)

Subtle”:  cunning, crafty, difficult in detection, elusive, evident by great skill in ingenuity.  Murderer, liar, Speaks of himself and seeks his own exaltation.

The Temptation of Jesus:  (Matthew 4:1-11)

Led by the Spirit, fasts 40 days and nights, to be tempted by the devil.

1.  Satan attempts to lead Jesus into independence from the serving the Father.

Tempts Jesus to use His position as Son of God in violation of the purpose of the Father (fasting).

2.  Leads Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple to distort God’s Word and purpose.  Satan tempts Jesus to use His relationship with the Father in a foolish and independent way (to jump of the temple) ‘because, after all, Jesus…You are the Son of God…’

3.  Offers Jesus the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 

(If only Jesus would bow and serve satan)

 Satan has the ability to do so because he is the god of this age and the prince of the power of the air. (2Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2)

How many “christian” leaders in the world has satan put in high positions and wealth???  Do you understand and see this?

Matthew 20:

25.  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

 26.  But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

 27.  And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

28.  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

[Compare this to your church” experience.  What is the LORD showing you?] ______________________________

Remember:  Jesus got on His hands and knees and washed His disciples’ feet. 

He “hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.  And, “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”  (Isaiah 53:2-3) 

Jesus did not seek to have a great reputation that He manufactured.  His Father testified of Him and bore witness of Him by acts of the Holy Spirit.  Contrast this to what you see in the “church world”.  Jesus is our example and we as disciples of Jesus Christ ARE to follow His steps (1 Peter 2:21).

Jesus rebukes satan speaking through Peter: (Matthew 16:16

13.  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

 14.  And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

 15.  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

 16.  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

 17.  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

 18.  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

 19.  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

 20.  Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

 21.  From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

 22.  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

 23.  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

 24.  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Satanism is not just the obvious occult and evil things done in covert…

Satanism is rejecting the holy things of God in lieu of that which is of man. It is that which “SAVORS” that which is fleshly—things of Man. 

Therefore, ministries that emphasize and lead people into the glorification or pursuit of things pertaining to man are in great error.   This is of the spirit of satan!

SHOCK-HORROR-CONFUSION-PANIC

To the Masses

AND,

Glory, Honor and Peace

To God’s ‘little ones’

Tuesday, June 06, 2006

Today, as I write this message, I realize that I have been receiving a specific warning message from the Spirit of God for almost 18 months.   I am eyewitness of the fulfillment of many things the LORD said would come.  What lies ahead are times so dire that they are referred in scripture as unprecedented days not seen since the world began or ever shall be!  And, as God warned His righteous servant Noah to prepare for unforeseen judgment, so to is God warning His elect to prepare spiritually, psychologically and physically.  For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, God is declaring the need to be ready and have necessary provisions for the passage through these great times of sorrow.   

On one hand, great changes have transpired throughout the world slowly and steadily.  As a pot of water is slowly brought to the boiling point, similarly have many facets of life changed into a precarious format that will one day be utilized by a global anarchist political system.   Dangerous diseases, economic pressures, political struggles, geological stresses, weather instability are just some of the complex dilemmas that must be faced by world leaders and societies in general.  Yet, in this complex and busy world it is easy not to note the severity and precarious state we indeed live.  Cultures abound with sedating things that dull the senses like drugs, pleasure and multi media attractions.  These things while they may be benign in some proper circumstances have become a most effective device to alter the state of consciousness of the masses—to the point that the reality of future calamities are largely not perceived.   Woe to the unsuspecting.  Woe to those asleep.  Woe to the oblivious “drunken” people!

God has sent judgment.  It is on its way.  It cannot be stopped.  What is coming is so severe and profound it will be stunning!  God is going to strike this nation of the United States with a powerful blow.  It will be as a ‘one-two-three’ punch.  The effects of God’s fierce judgment on this nation will be shattering!  God has showed me that this nation will be shattered into a thousand pieces as a fine piece of china that is dashed to the ground and broken.  This is scriptural.  See Isaiah 30, Psalms 2:9, Jeremiah 18 and 19.  Here we see God as the potter destroying His own people the nation of Israel.  Why would anyone question the righteous God of His righteous judgments?  Why would anyone wonder why He would judge when this nation is just as evil and idolatrous as ancient Israel seen recorded in the texts of scripture?  Remember.  “I am the LORD.  I change not”. (Malachi 3:6)

God is love.  God is gracious.  He is slow to anger.  But when His love is spurned and His grace is rejected…His anger becomes hot.  Now, the Spirit of the LORD has indicated that The Holy Father is standing up to judge.  He says He has held back a long time.  He cannot hold back any longer.  He shall cry as a travailing woman and shout in His anger.  (Isaiah 42:13-14)  With His fist He strikes the earth.  The earth shall shake terribly before the Living God

Some will give glory to God and repent before Him.  He will allow them to humble themselves and cry before His great throne.  Grace and mercy will be given to those who call on Him and call on Him in truth.  For those who tremble at His Word, they shall find Him even in this hour of judgment.

But to those who have mocked God and His Son the scripture declares that they will have indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish.  (Romans 2:7-10)  I am warning you now that there is coming events—“plural”—so suddenly and quickly that it will be a SHOCK.  It will create “HORROR”.  Then CONFUSION will abound as the unprepared and unbelieving are caught off guard.  Confusion will lead to PANIC.  Please understand.  People do strange things when they are afraid…

So, prepare yourself.  Don’t be looking for certain events of calamity or specific times or timeframes.  It would do more harm than good to tell you the event and date of what is coming.  The most important thing now is that you prepare yourself before God.  Go to Him.  Seek Him.  Listen to His voice.  Do what He tells you.  Come to the Lord Jesus Christ in truth.  Lay down your life and pick up your cross and follow Him.  This is the true and authentic gospel.  If you do this you will truly be prepared for what is coming and God will preserve you in His Son Jesus.  Not a hair on your head will perish.  The trial of your faith in the coming days will be to the praise and glory of God at the coming of Jesus Christ.  (1Peter 1)

However, I must say to those who reject the voice of Him that does speak now from heaven, woe—woe--woe unto you. 
Sincerely,
Trevor Davis

Watching For The UNKNOWN Hour
6/4/2006

I have been urging people to prepare for cataclysmic times of trouble that are coming. God has given me a message I call “The Alarm”. It details various aspects that will befall christians and non-christians alike. In the earth there will be deception, wars, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, betrayal and much more chaotic destruction. (Matthew 24) However, the LORD has made it clear to me that the most important thing is not which events are coming or when they come, but, the most import thing is to be prepared before the LORD . Remember, none of us know the hour that the LORD may require our soul!

There is a dangerous tendency for those who have a prophetic interest to emphasize dates and events. I believe this is a mistake. The Spirit of the LORD is indicating that the time of judgment has arrived. That multiple cataclysmic events are coming suddenly and at the same time. God is calling His people to prepare in a similar fashion as Noah before the great flood.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved in fear, and prepared an ark to the saving of his house…(Hebrews 11:7)

God does speak. And He is speaking today! Listen to Him. He will tell you to get right with Him and listen and obey His voice. Hide in the LORD. (Isaiah 26:20-21) Reread the story of Noah in Genesis. Notice how God commanded Noah. God did not make recommendations or suggestions. He commanded Noah! And, Noah obeyed having found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

The point I want to make clear in this message today is that none of us know when our life is over. At any given time we may die regardless of the fact that we live in an era of judgment. Remember Jesus admonition of the “rich man”. There was a rich man that thought to himself that he would tear down his house and build a bigger one. The man said to himself, ‘I will then eat, drink and be merry'. But Jesus said, “You fool! This night God requires your soul!” (Luke 12:15-21)

People like to rest in a false security of some prophetic “date” or timeline. That is dangerous! We all need to live every day and every moment in the reality of His watchful eyes. Live carefully and wise but also enjoy the LORD too.

 Churches To Beat Christians?
6.01.2006

"THEY WILL BEAT YOU IN THE SYNAGOGUES" (Matthew 10:17)
(synagogues were the meeting places for God's people in Jesus day. Today, it is called "church")

As we read Jesus words in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 17 & 21 we get a very clear picture of what the end of the age and the signs of Jesus coming are like. Note that Jesus warns, "Let no man deceive you..." (Mat. 24:4) And, many will be offended and betray one another...(Mat. 24:10)
Therefore, we know there will be great deception. We know there will be masses of professing christians casting off their faith. And, they will behave like JUDAS and betray the Lord again by betraying His true followers.


Realize, that as the catastrophic judgments of God unfold there will be an attempt to maintain order by the governing powers. It will be a false and rebellious order. In due time, people will not be able to buy or sell without certain restrictions. Because worldly "christians" will not be able to believe God to provide they will sell out their christian neighbors for "thirty pieces of silver".


The stage is set for the multitudes in the church world to follow the lie. They pursue temporal things like prestige, money and pleasure. The mega churches are man centered not Christ centered. These mega "ministries" speak words of man not God! However, the way their system works there are literally thousands of "pastors" that download a "message-sermon" from the mega church leaders. So, you have large portions of professing christians following the words of men rather than God. Broken cisterns that cannot hold water! (Jeremiah 2:13)


When the hour of great chaos comes in reaction to God's judgments, the false religious system will be called upon to control the religious masses! These false religious leaders will be instructed from man what to say. The stage is set. The players are ready in their costumes.


I share this with you in order to prepare you for what is coming. Search the scriptures prayerfully. May the LORD illuminate your understanding and give you an urgent plea to the people around you--for surely the LORD is coming swiftly!

The LORD bless you,

ALARM man
Trevor

Emergency !

These Days Are Not As Usual

Monday, May 29, 2006

Since October 2004 the LORD has been giving me a message I call “The Alarm”. On a daily basis I sought the LORD with all my heart. The LORD was showing me that there was only a short time to prepare but NO time to waste. This was a phrase that I would use in my various writings. However, the time came last year in May when I could no longer in godly conscience use the phrase “a short time to prepare”. I, in my spirit, did not believe that there was time anymore before judgment.

February 1 st of 2006 was the third day that I found my own mouth voicing that we are “ in the throes” of judgment . This is a phrase that I didn't use. I really didn't know what it meant—fully. My sense was that it referred to the aspect that the things that I was sensing, seeing and hearing from the LORD were at hand. I encourage you to look up that phrase in a dictionary. This phrase “in the throes” deals with in the midst of struggle, and or, severe pang or spasm of pain. Upon looking up this phrase in a dictionary I marveled again how God had spoken to me this way. I realized that God was indicating that we were indeed in the throes of judgment. That—we were in the midst of it unfolding.

As you consider the events of the last couple years, can you recall the record-breaking events? Record storms, record sunspots, record seismic activity, record heat and cold, record price increases, record volcanic activity, record earthquakes, record solar activity, record records…Do you get the picture?

Remember. Jesus repeatedly admonishes and instructs those who will listen to Him, to watch and pray. What does that mean? Well—watching means you are to prayerfully observe situations and events about you. Notice and note the things that are going on in this world prayerfully. We are eyewitnesses to the fulfillment of scripture. But, most people will never know this or believe it if they don't have eyes to see and ears to hear. These people can't ‘see' beyond their own nose. It is sad but true.

These days are not as usual! The scripture tells us that there is a season for everything and a time for every purpose under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) There is a time of peace and a time for war. A time for mourning and a time to dance. The key is to be able to understand the times and seasons accurately and live accordingly.

Jesus chides a religious people that can discern the weather but are oblivious to the obvious signs of the times. (Matthew 16:2-3) People live differently in war than they do in peace. People live differently in famine than they do in abundance. So—how should God's people live now?

I like to use the example that the LORD had given me in “the Alarm”. If you were sound asleep and your house was on fire, the fire department would come barreling down the street with lights flashing and sirens blaring. The firemen would break down your door and shout at you with bullhorns “Get out of the house!” You would wake up and grab your love ones and run out of the house to safety. Right? You would have left everything behind you except your family and own life. This is a great example of proper prioritizing. Indeed. We are in an hour of emergency. This is not a day as usual and it is not time for “church as usual” either. Run to safety in the LORD.

The Time, Which We Live

This is the hour of the righteous judgment of God. We are in the throes of judgment.

By faith, Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear and prepared an ark to the saving of his house (Hebrews 11:7)

Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the day of the Son of Man” (Luke 17:26)

Please recall that the days of Noah were marked by gross wickedness-- to the point that God was grieved that He even made man. God saw that every imagination of man's heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5-8) We live in an era today very similar to Noah's. Thus we can expect the fulfillment of God's Word. We have a religious world that mocks God. While they say they love God they deny Him with their life. They are spiritually blind. Their worship is in vain. Jesus said that there would be MANY who will be cast out into outer darkness and be professing all the while ‘why, why, why O Lord? Didn't we do this and that in your name? But Jesus will profess unto them, “Depart from me you lawless ones, I never knew you!” Woe.

God warns His people. Those who are inclined to listen to God are hearing Him speak today. He is calling us to prepare for what is coming. This message is written so that you would not be caught off guard but be prepared spiritually, psychologically and physically for what is coming. My point is that you not live like usual. Be alert and on guard. Gird your ‘loins' with strength and respond in the wisdom of the LORD. Get the oil for your lamp now while there is time. Love the LORD and draw near to Him. Set your focus on things above and not on the temporal things of this age. Let God anoint you and gift you in order that you be most effective in the harvest field. Go tell the masses about the Kingdom of God. Minster, serve and tell the people of the great God our savior.

So, my desire is to answer the question “How should we live?” You should live as if you were in a state of emergency. Prioritize. Let go of things that are not of eternal value. Mind the heavenly things. Be faithful with the earthly things. Help those around you. Draw so close to the LORD. Live before the ‘light of His countenance'. Listen to His still small voice. Do what the LORD tells you. Ask Him what He wants you to do. And, I urge you to really enjoy the LORD. Delight yourself in the LORD.

God bless you,

Trevor Davis

Ecclesiastes 3:1. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6. A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

May 21, 2006 – "Broken China"

The LORD showed me Friday the following regarding His fierce anger with the United States of America: 

We are going to turn the corner very soon and people will realize that we have spoken the truth regarding His imminent judgments.

We will all have to deal with the pieces…

God is going to throw America down like a fine piece of china—beautiful, ornate and expensive yet---to Him---useless---it displeases Him.  He is rich.  He can get a replacement. 

He is the potter.  We are the clay.  God can do as He pleases.  The power to do so is in His hand. 

We, His children, have to understand that we must be about our Father’s business, our Father’s harvest, and our Father’s Kingdom. 

Remember Lot’s wife.  Understand that this world and the things of this world will pass away.  Be not grieved with the righteous judgment of God.  It is due.  It is proper.  It is right and holy.  God has held back a long time.  So, now properly align yourself before God and be focused on the eternal things of eternal glory.  Set your affections on things above and not on things of this age. 

Mind the things that make you rich above.  Help those around you.  Be an example of a believer in everything.  Be found in Him spotless, blameless and in the love of Christ.  Happy will you be as the Master finds you in this way.

The LORD bless you and keep you,

Isaiah 30
 1.  Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
 2.  That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!3.  Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

 4.  For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

 5.  They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

 6.  The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

 7.  For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

 8.  Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

 9.  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

 10.  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

 11.  Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

 12.  Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

 13.  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

 14.  And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

 15.  For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

 16.  But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

 17.  One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

 18.  And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

 19.  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

 20.  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

 21.  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

 22.  Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

 23.  Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

 24.  The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

 25.  And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

 26.  Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

 27.  Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

 28.  And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

 29.  Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.

 30.  And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

 31.  For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

 32.  And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33.  For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

Psalms 2:9.  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Jeremiah 18: 1.  The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

 2.  Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

 3.  Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

 4.  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

 5.  Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

 6.  O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

 7.  At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

 8.  If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

 9.  And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

 10.  If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

 11.  Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

 12.  And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.

 13.  Therefore thus saith the Lord; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.

 14.  Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?

 15.  Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

 16.  To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

 17.  I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

 18.  Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

 19.  Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.

 20.  Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

 21.  Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.

 22.  Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

23.    Yet, Lord, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

Jeremiah 19:

1. Thus saith the Lord, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2. And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3. And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4. Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5. They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7. And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8. And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9. And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10. Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11. And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12. Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13. And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14. Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house; and said to all the people,
15. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
