THE WAY OF TRUTH IS COSTLY

THE WAY OF TRUTH IS COSTLY - STANDING ALONE

More and more there are a small people in the eyes of the world and a great majority of the religious communities of the world and nations that are at large. These that are coming out of all the world of religion which defiles the Lord's holy purposes for His Body, the Body of the Father's Son Jesus Christ. The hearts of these come outers that are being gathered unto Him the Father that desires our total love and and utter obedience. A people both male and female young and old a like that are unnoticed in the eyes of men that are scattered throughout the world from every nation kindred and tongue are hearing his voice and are being drawn to their Head and resting place, which is Jesus Christ Yeshua the Messiah only. These are a people that are called of God to a place of total abandonment and utter dependence upon the Holy One of Israel. These of His "little flock," Jesus called them are set a part from the ways of the world and are nestled secure, fully enwrapped in His holy protection safe under His wings, because they have chosen by their own free will to take the Lord as their only refuge and total source of supply. [Psalm 91; Phil 4:19] Safe in the arms and under the wings of their only God and protecter, because they have chosen to take the Most High as their refuge and not man as their covering. [Isaiah 30:1]

These people are sprinkled throughout the nations and are called out from the religious systems of man and the world's ways and its soulish enticements and pleasures that are flooding the market places and luring, O' so many into the hellish trap of the enemy of our soul... Satan himself. These soulish enticements that appeal to the carnal nature of man without Christ are being flaunted over television and pasted in front of the unsuspecting and young of our generation even at the check out counters in the market places and over television and the Internet as well.

These evil allurements of the enemy of our soul have been crushed with a fatal blow by those who know Him intimately, causing these who truly desire to bring honor to their Father in heaven and to stand alone... if need be, fearing with a godly fear because they love Him and honor Him and are willingly bringing honor to His name regardless of the price of rejection even by those of their blood families and brethren a like......

A people standing alone and at a distance from what is marketed and merchandised in the fields of religion for a price like the secular stores for profit.... These have the discernment to see that the Word and the spirit will always agree...There is no buying and selling in the kingdom! All is freely received and freely given but there are so many abuses by ministry that are doing just the opossite to what the Word of God tells us.$$$$$$ 1Corinthains 9:16-18 and Isaiah 55:1-3). A people that know the Father's love and also know that he is a jealous God over these little ones of his flock who have made the choice to follow His Son Jesus Christ fully outside the camp of man's religous endeavors to bring about a false unity that will never last when the real judgment comes down.........and unto Him alone.... Loving not the world nor the things of the world, knowing that if we do.. the love of the Father is not in them.

If we love him we will keep his commandments for they are not grievous, but pleasant to those who fear their God in reverence and all truth.

Standing alone requires total obedience knowing the fear of the Lord and the terror of his wrath to come on the children of disobedience. To have the wisdom that comes from on high which comes through experience as we grow in the knowledge of Him. We of his little flock have learned to hate evil and every false way. He tells us in his written word. "Be ye separate and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.."

This word hate in hating evil is a pretty strong word and it means just that. We must come out of all that would defile His temple which we are, if we are to have the Father truly receive us we must be a separated people from the world the flesh and the devil ...To be set apart means to be holy and totally given for the Father's service as He the Father wills for his saints his set apart ones.

It has been written the way of truth is a costly way. Few unfortunately are willing by their choice to pay the price of total and complete abandonment to what carnal believers in the faith willfully still partake of. Partaking in worldly pursuits to gain more of the material and lay up their treasures upon earthly things here in this world, which is only temporal rather than in heaven where nothing rusts and turns old and dies. Those who continue to do such things and to ignore the signs of the end of an age that is here and increasing daily will find in the end that it will cost them much in their eternal placement in the kingdom of God. Not all as the Scriptures declare will become overcomers ruling with the Son of God Jesus Christ in His Father's throne ruling in the kingdom upon this renewed earth. Though many teach and blanket the placing of the overcomers on all Christians.. this cannot be. For not all believers will pay the same price to attain this placing of Sons, ruling and reigning with Christ in his Father's throne. Many of the lord's own people are still in this present age we are living in and the close of time are what the Apostle Paul calls carnal or fleshly Christians. Yes, again we will write the way of truth is costly. Will we be willing to lose our carnal soulish lives in order to gain the life that was in the Son of God?

A great majority of Christendom the Religious World today is...

....falling Short of the nature of the Son who is the express image of the Father's character and will cost the Lord's people much who disobey Him....It will be because of their disobedience to the Father's will which is His written Word preserved for us down through the corridors of time...If we should continue to refuse him that speaks to us in and through His wise counsel and the way that is right we will suffer great loss. He tell us not to harden our hearts....

Remember there are both wise and foolish virgins in the same house along with vessels of honour and vessels of dishonour as well in the same house of which is the father's house and temple in earthen vessels of clay.

Which of these vessels will we be?

These are things to ponder in our hearts in the light of God's pure truth of All scripture that is written for our learning and wise instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be prepared for every good work.

As we look upon the world scene we can see an increase in witchcraft and all manner of filth infiltrating almost everywhere one goes anymore. There is no escaping it, it seems as we are in the final countdown until the Lord returns to be glorified in His saints and admired by all them that believe and i the end every eeya shall see him and every knee shall bow to him and say Jesus Christ is Lord! ....

The enemy's filth is infiltrating into almost every facet of life and we know that things cannot and will not continue this way much longer without an intervention of our holy Father God to amend the wrongs done to his people.

Justice will prevail, but we must keep in mind the Lord of heaven our Almighty Father and Yahweh God is long- suffering that all come to repentance. We must take into consideration when these words were penned and preserved for us about the long -suffering of the Father and is written in Peter's epistle that all come to repentance, we must think about and ponder these words for a moment that he is speaking of HIS wayward people as well. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The glory of God the Father is his divine nature. The Scripture in 2 Chronicles 7:14 states…"If MY PEOPLE, which are called BY MY NAME shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land." Our God is a God of mercy and he forgives his people when the heart is sincere and a godly heart rending repentance is in order and felt deep down in our soul and a turning from sin comes from our repentance and genuine turning from all that offends God...... There is always mercy available from our loving Father extended fully to the sincere sinner and that includes his own people who profess his name...The Father is not speaking to the people in the world that do not profess to know him nor is he speaking to America or any other ungodly nation, he is speaking to HIS PEOPLE those of us who have sinned and come short of his glory of God, which is the nature of Jesus Christ.

We all must face the reality that truth is costly. The truth of our heavenly Father will either make us angry and rebellious even more so and cause our pride to resist the Holy Spirit who speaks to us through men and God's written Word or it will change us into new creatures that love and honor Him who are a people called us out the darkness of our carnal minds into his marvel Son Jesus the Lord and who is the "light" of the world.

These who are willing to be changed into his image will know the favor and abundant blessings of the Father when the Lord comes to separates the true sheep from the goats. Those who serve him and those that do not serve him...Malachi 3:16-18.. Our life must become a reflection of Him who bought us with so great a price with His own precious blood shed for all men on that old rugged cross.

From my own personal observation, the Lord has shown me that even many and I say many who profess to be part of the Father's family are ignoring the words of the Holy One to come out of all pagan influences. Any one with a sincere heart can say NO to what is not pleasing to the Lord and called an abomination in his sight... But why do we halt between two opinions with one foot in these abominations that brings an offense to the Lord and still we do them and partake of them, as if God will turn his face towards us still with favor, if we do them and become a partaker of what is an offense to God and his ways...? I am only saying what needs to be said. Easter bunnies and eggs are from pagan origin and why do we still partake of the things that are an offense to God? Many Christians today here in the western world are partaking in pagan influences and seeing no harm done as to their witness to the holiness and purity of a walk separate from the unclean things that put a reproach on the pure truth and the sound doctrines of Christ and the early Apostles. We all as followers of Jesus Christ those of us that are born from above must become knowledgeable and not to be ignorant of the devices of the enemy and how he slips in with his worldly pagan holi-days and calls them Christian and they are NOT.... The enemy comes many times through his angels of light, perverting the truth into a lie to ensnare believers in his great dark net of deception. The pagan holi-days should be recognized for what they are an affront to our Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

Christ-mass is included in these pagan practices Valentine's day, ground hogs day and so many other pagan days that Chrisatians willfully continue to partake of as if they think God is pleased with their pagan pracrices and he is NOT......But we love our own ways and it is sad to say we who disobey God will eat of thje fruit of our own ways and be filled with our own devices. It is written in Proverbs 1:22-32 that is if we will read these verses and take seriously the Father's words to our hearts and do and obey them...

We are now living out the final days of the Book the days that are very dangerous, perilous and slippery for those who are walking in two worlds at the same time.... We must not only read the truth out of the Holy Scriptures, but we must know Him the giver of the truth and do what he requires of us who profess his name.... We each one of us must know the truth in our innerward aparts and to hide it away in our hearts that we not sin against him. This is what I believe is a great privilege and treasure to be had by all and that is to have a Bible and treasure the words written in it for they are the words of true life in the Son. If we find them they are a great treasure and how wonderful to be had.... They are the way to peace and a full and glorious life in the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ....

Regardless how you as a believer in Christ are misunderstood by those who choose to walk the broad way that leads to destruction; remember the words of the Bible. Jesus, said, "If they hated me they will also hate you..." It was the religious of Jesus day that gave him the most trouble; do we think it will be any different in these final days? I don't think so. Again this word hate is a strong word.

The narrow way that leads to real life in Christ Jesus requires utter obedience to God the Father first and foremost and all else comes next. Obedience to the ways of God and a yielded life of holiness, becoming a true and a faithful witness in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation as bright holy candles. The Lord's lamps of truth that shine brightly and to make a difference in this world of gross darkness. Reflecting the Son as he chooses and His will be done in "our" earth out temples as it is in heaven!

Arising now are the many sons that are coming unto glory!

We dear ones must keep ourselves not only in the love of God the Father, but making ourselves by our own will to do the Father's will. Staying and keeping ourselves pure from all that would defile the temple of the Lord that Christ. The living temple of men and women of the one true faith that was once delivered unto the saints. We must contend for it.

A Word from the Lord

April 14, 2003

We dear ones are rapidly racing toward a great change and further up settings in the land in the world's systems of carnal thinking and reasoning's. But the Lord would say to his people. Remember you are in the world, but not of it. Have I not said, I will supply your need and am I not your provision and source of total supply. Can I not make a way where there is no way? I know mine and am searching out those whose heart is perfect towards Me, and those whose heart is set on My ways and eternal holy heavenly spiritual purposes. Those with spiritual vision and a clear understanding of my ways will know that it I that speak to them for my sheep know me and a stranger they will not follow..

Think it not strange that ye be mistreated and misunderstood. Was not My Son mistreated even by the religious of his day and rejected by his own that knew him not when he came? Why do you think it will be any different now? My Son came not to bring peace, but a sword and division. There will and must be heresies among you and I am allowing them to separate those who know my voice from those who are strangers and not of kin to me and my little flock. Stand steadfast and firm for my truth and righteousness, mine will be manifested and made known in my appointed time as genuine seed sons prepared unto vessels and honour, vessels of mercy for my glory to be seen by men. The true and genuine wheat shall be put into my barn for safe keeping, while the tares will be burned in the fires of my righteous judgments.

His Coming Storm!

Job 63:32-33 Amp/v.

As the storm sent by Me rages with turbulence and whirlwind force. Those who know me intimately shall be protected and will walk in the peace that I give them. For this peace comes and is learned through experience through the trials and the chastening of sons and from understanding the maturity of my ways.

Fret not at what you see and hear of wars and more rumors of wars, pestilence's and a quickened actively in earthquakes and unusual strange sightings in the skies. Remember as well that the love of many will wax cold and men in their beastly nature will have no regard for life as I have made it... I have told you these things before hand and have spoken for you to take heed that no man deceive you. Many and not few come in my name saying, "I am Christ, but believe them not." There is a great falling away of the faith that was once delivered unto the saints and men will become more cruel and resentful and wicked in their selfish ways as the days progress.

I, the Lord hear the cry of my people and will not disappoint them. Hold fast to my faithfulness to you. I will not disappoint you nor make you ashamed of your stand for the truth. As you honor me, I shall honor you.

 The Father has an End in View

The Father from the very beginning of time has always had His end in view, a final goal to be accomplished in a people who love him and his truth at all cost through His Son Jesus Christ. His purpose in the beginning when Israel was established through Abraham was that his original people Israel become that light to the nations of the world, but the kingdom was taken from them and given to a nation that would bring forth the fruit of the nature of His Son. This "new" nation the Apostle Paul writes of is made of twain, both Jew and Gentile believers in the Messiah Yashuah Jesus Christ the Lord. The one "new" man that is in Christ Jesus the Messiah and are under His blood the perfect Lamb of God.

The Father's ultimate purpose is not in any forms or rituals or traditions of men perfected through any order of man's religion no matter what title it takes on as of Him or not of Him. We have had religion of every sort under the titles of carnal man and organizations and to no avail or genuine or little profit. The Father has always had a people though only a called out remnant in every generation they have been called His. (Psalm 4;3; 2 Timothy 2:19; Malachi 3:16-17). These are composed of a living organism not a building or organizations of men with titles named after man. For it is the Father alone that knows them that are His and has set a part the godly for himself. The Father has always had a people whether it is one or a few who meant business with their God. There are examples seen throughout Biblical history such as Adam, Able, Noah, Moses, Jael, David, Joel, Deborah, Joseph, King David, Gideon, Simeon, Anna and John the Baptist and many more unknown to us who died as witnesses in the Roman Catholic Inquisition, because they would not bow to a false religion. God knows them by name and they are recorded in the Father's book of life and the book of remembrance as well. Not known by name to us.

The final witness to the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will come from a little people who are yet hidden from the eyes of men. These that know their God and shall do exploits in his holy name....

These early pioneers in the Father all were part of the remnant that were of the called out ones throughout the generations right up to this last generation we are now living in. The Father speaks of them like this.

Malachi 3:16-27

"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and a book of remembrance was written of before him for them that feared the Lord; and that thought upon his name. Vs 17 And they shall be mine saith the Lord of hosts, in THAT DAY when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them; as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."

So let us not faint and be weary in well doing for the race is won by those who run it lawfully. Our course is already mapped out for us. It is our job to walk in it and to be obedient to the Father's wise counsel.

The mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ is waiting for the willing and obedient. It is ours but is taken with a costly price that is ... if we choose to love the truth and stand when all turn in compromise with the majority that have only come for the loaves and fishes.... The separating of the sheep from the goats leaders is now in progress...and shall increase and fully continue as we enter into the final three and one half years of the Great tribulation that is at the door.

The road to life is narrow through many trials, troubles and rejections for those who love Him and no price is too high to pay. Philippians 3:13-14. Their names will also be included with the Lord's remnant of this final age of grace. Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sins that which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

The principle has always proven true. God is after a people who desire Him fully and completely with no reserve.... A people it matters not their race, origin, color or sex. He is ever seeking men, women and children who will meet Him on His terms and to fulfill His heart's desire to have a holy remnant people the satisfy his heart. A well prepared and chosen people by fire and afflictions they come to know Him and his purposes which are all holy and pure.... A people for His name. The nature of their King to reflect his glory to the nations of the world! A people to manifest the nature of His Son Jesus Christ to a very dark world of sin and iniquity the rampant lawlessness and rebellion that is increasing daily. This is His perfect will and that is certain. May we be that people, I pray?

See Jeremiah 15:15-20...
