THE SUPERFICIALITY OF CHRISTENDOM
THE NEW COVENANT IS MY PROMISE TO YOU
KNOW MY LOVE AND GRIEF FOR THE LOST
OUTWARD MANIFESTATIONS REFLECT INWARD CONDITION
BUILD YOUR HOUSE UPON ME, THE SOLID ROCK
MY THOUGHTS AND WAYS ARE HIGHER
NEW JERUSALEM TABERNACLE OF WISDOM
I CHOSE THEE; NOT THOU CHOSE ME
A PARABLE OF UNITY AMONG BRETHREN
BECOMING LIVING STONES IN MY TABERNACLE
MY HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT BE BOUNDED
FOSTER GUARDIANS VS. THE TRUE PARENT
ZEAL, IMPETUOUSNESS AND MY TIMETABLE
CLEANSE YOUR ROBES UNTO HOLINESS
I DESIRE TRUE FRIENDS
In grief most times I watch My people making claims of holiness and righteousness yet walking according to their own understanding, not leaning upon My wisdom to sustain them, nor even seeking Me for it. As if they desire a handout once or twice a week, but the rest of the time is their own to do what they want. To grasp onto My hand and to walk with Me takes too much time and effort, and if things run smoothly for them, they go on their way not even in rememberance of Me.
I desire friends who want to talk to Me. Sadly, so many only brace themselves and come to frantic prayer when things don’t go well for them; in other words, not as they desired. Behold, I am no genie in a lamp, to be rubbed only for favors now and then, but thou art to have a continuous relationship with Me, ever acknowledging My Holy Presence with and in thee. To not be aware of Me is to walk alone as far as you are concerned and to make thine own decisions and plans.
Seek Me for hearing, ye who cannot hear Me. Surely were you to consider it, ye give Me no real time to speak to you, your life being a busy myriad of your own thoughts, words and deeds. My people, if indeed you would hear Me then ye must spend some time seeking to hear Me or at least feeling My influence. You say your desire is insignificant? Pray for greater desire for My things and words and wisdom. Ye must first respect Me as your Creator and wiser than you, if you will come to know Me.
My heart aches for true friends willing to spend real quality time with Me. Sadly, so few are willing to do this, being caught up in family life, work and their own form of play. Behold, spend your time however you will but understand your need for what I hold out unto thee and the lateness of the hour. Jobs, possessions and even family will all seem insignificant as well as the time you wasted being caught up in all the trivia when My shaking of all begins.
Realize your situation, My People, and what be most important; for so many while away the hours wastefully when they could be becoming solidly founded in Me. Though it hurts Me deeply that you can spare no time for Me in your busy schedules, yet understand that I yet hold out hope of your returning. Good will shall be shown you yet a little while, then disasters will strike you relentlessly and you will then wish you’d paid attention and found your place of peace and security under the shadow of My wings. Too late for you who wait till then to prepare, for then My wrath shall strike and your “house of cards” dreams shall all be shattered.
Awake! Awake! O My people to the sound of My Trumpets sounding and heed the alarm and the call to be ready, the time is at hand. Saith the Almighty.

Follow My Spirit, O Little One, then you will be of single mind and thought. Ignore the events that surround your daily life; if you desire to please Me then give up the choices that come daily in your life and give up thy thoughts to the one choice that is Eternal. Excuse nothing in your life that separates Me from you.
I desire that you would give all of your thoughts to Me. I am your Eternal King and Savior; there is nothing but Me when it comes to life. Don’t ignore the fact that I AM Life and that nothing prevails or supersedes My Life.
Give Me thanks and I will bless your undertakings. Bring no worry into your life. I can change anything and everything at will. It is not time [yet] as there is purifying to take place in My called out ones.
If you desire to please Me, then trust what I do; it is for your good and when it is the time to come, you will be amazed at what I do; beyond your wildest imagination. Keep Me in your thoughts and I will lead you into the proper place of habitation. Don’t ignore My requests, because to do so negates My Spirit within you. When you need help just wait for the answer as it is on the way. Don’t be impatient since My timing is not yours. I love you and want all of My good things to come forth in your life. Now give your time and thoughts to My life and all will be just fine. There will be no problem too big because My Life insures that all will come to a final conclusion that resolves all conflict.

O Christendom, thou art superficial. How you have been deceived by the shallow teaching of the teachers and preachers. They taught that “I AM” has done everything needed to enter the abode of LIFE. That is true. What is ignored is the place that each called out one is responsible for, in directing the earthly life and experiences that fulfill My work. You must listen to the Spirit’s direction for your life. “I AM” will direct your path, but you must be very conscious of My Voice as I speak. Your flesh desires to proclaim My freedom; that is the limiting response to My Voice. You must be sure that any activity is the first choice of My Spirit.
Don’t be misled by the words of the preachers. It is the time of lukewarmness in the Body of Christ. My sheep don’t hear clearly what I say, therefore there cannot be a proper response to My leading. But how do you hear? Put away the noises of the church that lead you into darkness. They believe [that] if you respond to their calling for activity and involvement [that] you will be doing My work. That is not true. My work is ordered from above.
If you allow Me to speak privately to your innermost parts, you will be at peace and know My will. Conflict arises when there is a competition for My Voice. “I AM” will not succumb to the ways of man. I can’t. I won’t. “I AM” is the LIVING WORD that speaks only truth. If you ask for My direction, you will gradually move away from Christendom into My realm.
Be alert to the ploys of men. They are deceiving and captivating to the minds and thoughts of men. Be aware of the indicators that mislead and misdirect the children of My own. I Love YOU. I desire the best in your being, however don’t calculate your life based on man’s standards. How else could everyone be able to enter unless I open the door of Life?
Look to Me, Child of Mine, for only then can My Voice be heard. There is only ONE way that fulfills My requirements. Christendom has not sought the fulfilling way since so much error abounds in their circle. Be aware of the leaven that so easily enters the life of the church. It came from the many opinions and ideas that spring up from the hearts of men and women. Grow in Me and you’ll see the difference. There is not the division, since I am the Center. It makes the difference to have the “I AM”, the Beginning and the End. So let My Spirit work. It will amaze you to see My power lift the spirits of men. Amen.

O Little Child, to the degree of faith planted within you, “I AM” says to you to be deep rooted and always placing your thoughts before Me. Don’t look to the external noises nor surroundings that interfere with My Voice, that continues to seek an entry into your life. If you will continue to see My will, all will be fine and “I AM” will always be alongside your life.
My thoughts are not your thoughts; however, “I AM” will place the right desire into all of your activities. Don’t question My desires for your life as they are designed to purify and straighten the crooked path of your walk. Remember that the NEW COVENANT is My Promise to you based on the strength and promise of My willingness to write on your hearts My Law. Forget not My promises as they are true and forever. If you fall, which is a frequent thing, simply place your confidence in My willingness to pick you up.
Listen not to other voices that try to lead you another way. They sound correct, but have not My leading. It is beyond your understanding and knowledge. Don’t regard the unknown as something to be “discovered”. Only MY knowledge is meant to succeed. Man’s knowledge is fraught with error. Look only to Me, Little Child, and you’ll be forever Mine.
Activity is only good for exercising what you know through Me. Use your time wisely, for soon I will be apparent to all. Wonder only at My words and thoughts and not at man’s discoveries, for they are limited in all respects. Praise Me for what I am about to do. Regard not the speculations of man for they do not follow My guidelines for performing truth. Selah.

To know love is to know pain. To learn truth is to know love, pain, injustice; and mercy applied upon the penitent and the unrepentant as well. To know the truth of My Love for all is to know My pain at their disobedience and refusals. To know My pain is to shoulder some of My grief for and unto the lost. Except you come to learn of My Love and to shoulder some of My grief, ye cannot learn to love My creatures, your fellow-man. Except you come to an understanding of My way of viewing their deeds you cannot know or understand My mercy and grace poured forth upon the guilty. Unless you know My thinking you cannot stop judging by your own reasoning, nor understand why I hold back judgement upon them at this time, while I yet plead with men to realize their condition and come to Me.
I call unto all the lost sheep of the House of Israel to return unto Me, from whom they have strayed in holding to the traditions of their fathers; the “great falling away”, so that the inward “son of perdition”, who is and can be very religious, might be exposed as the counterfeit that he is. Behold, he does and says all the right things unto the reasonings and understandings of men. But their blindness in spirit keeps them from seeing his true intent; to sit in the temple of God, showing himself off as if he were a god. That enmity which I hate is set up and set forth in the minds and hearts of My people. Yet they do not realize he is the image of the “god-likeness” of their own imagination’s creating. He is what they suppose “I AM” but he steals My glory, he tramples My truth, he fills them with religious pride and arrogance, causing them to look down “holier-than-thou” noses at their brethren, who they deem as worthless and lower than themselves. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8
The ease with which My people accept the traditions of the churches should show clearly unto you that it is not My strait (troublesome) and narrow (strict) way but rather the broad and wide way (easy to accept and be accepted by) that I warned you about which leads unto death. You only find that way troublesome and strict when you begin to question Christendom’s ways and to be wary of her doctrines; immediately you will see that their “love and acceptance” of you is conditional upon whether or not you cross them or question their authority. Have you not that right? In My eyes, yes; but in their opinion, No. For they would not that any should come to an understanding, spiritually, that is above their own, seeing that they are already at great competition amongst themselves over who is the “greatest” and has the most truth.
Behold, My words, as a sharp, two-edged sword, cuts away the clouds of illusion to get to the heart of the problem and exposes religious leaders as “sons of Belial” (evil, ungodliness, wickedness) who will do what is necessary or say what is necessary to further themselves and their own ends and kingdoms.
It is even as the parable fulfilled of a man who let out his lands unto servants, to tend them while he was away. After awhile, sending servants to receive the fruits of these lands, they were cruelly beaten and abused by the wicked servants tending the lands, and sometimes killed. The man said to himself, “I will send Mine only son; surely they will respect him”. But the wicked servants, when they saw the son coming, plotted to kill him and seize upon his inheritance; in other words, to keep the land for themselves. They had no problem with each other; they each had their own plot of land to tend. But they didn’t want anyone else to interfere. So when the son came, they beat him mercilessly and killed him. Now tell Me, what should I do with My wicked servants when they refuse to give back to Me what is rightfully Mine, and killed and beat all those I sent unto them, especially Mine only Son? I will rend all My acreage from their hand and will punish those wicked servants for their trespasses and their evilness. And I will rid Me of their arrogance and lording over all My fields. For the harvest is again come and I will have the fruit of My fields that I have paid for. Matthew 21:33-41
And My Kingdom, about to be set up, will not be like unto men’s. For they accept all, both good and bad, for the sake of numbers (memberships) and tithes and offerings collected from My people. But My Kingdom shall sever the bad from the good, and the bad shall be cast away as weeds and burned. But that which is good I will gather unto Me. Saith the Lord. So judge ye between Me and My gardens, and who’s right it is to gather the harvest thereof. For I would receive of the fruits of My lands, but they, the wicked servants, want to keep it for themselves and to lord over it. I gave it not unto them, but only for to tend it in Mine absence. Lo and behold, if I must tear it apart in order to get it back from them, I shall. For I am the Creator of earth and of man and the ONLY owner of both it and them. But I give them a sovereign will to reject Me for their own way if they desire. Thus behold, I await the decision of every man and woman and seek to reveal the fullness of truth to them that truly seek for it in these last days.
And as with My parable of the workers, those that have been with Me and worked through the whole day, I will give them what I said. And them that are lately brought in I will pay them the same. For it is My perogative to do so. For the land is Mine and the promise Mine to keep unto My workers. The early workers are now jealous of them who did not have to labor so long, but yet shall receive the same reward. Let that be My decision else ye will find yourself unemployed and receiving nothing from Me. Saith the Eternal. Selah. Matthew 20:1-16
So is the Kingdom likened unto a great net cast into the sea. It is hauled in nigh unto bursting. Christendom also has her nets and indeed there is a great “catch”. But Christendom keeps all, both good and bad, and incorporates them into her numbers. But in the Kingdom of which I am King, the catch is sorted out, and the bad are thrown out so that only the good is brought forth. Matthew 13:47-50
Many good ones have been caught in Christendom’s nets and are yet counted among her numbers. But I shall search her sanctuaries with My candles, those illumined with My Light, Life and Truth, and shall draw them out unto Me alone and then shall Christendom’s fall come. Yea, mighty Babylon shall know her “widowhood” and the loss of many of her children in one day.
Seek unto Me, sons of men who are not satisfied with the airy sermons of men. Come to the Author of Life to find Me. I am the Bread of Life and very Truth, whom ye seek. Come to KNOW Me, not “about” Me, for I am the Eternal King of kings and Lord of lords and Holder of the prize of eternal Life and salvation for each of you. Selah and Amen.

Now that you know My Voice, blessed are ye if you obey it. You may not always know what I want you to see or why I would show you a thing. Trust My judgement in this and know My wisdom is greater, and that I seek to reveal My wisdom unto those who are willing to receive it, at any time of night or day, and in any place.
My Voice of instruction is also My Voice of leading and surely ye will know My will if you seek to hear it. For My Voice will lead you as you submit yourself to it. Faithfully as you study I will show you the deeper meaning of My Word; that deeper meaning that Christendom doesn’t see nor know. For I teach Mine own students by revelation of My wisdom. Thus lean not upon your natural innate ability to comprehend. For there is that which fleshly knowledge comprehends and says it can walk in just fine. Then there is the revealing of My wisdom, which will replace the way you have thought and been taught about many things.
As Christendom has believed according to their own fleshly knowledge, zeal has tried to force it on everyone else. But they do not seek ME for revelation knowledge, preferring their own way of understanding. Open your eyes to see what I show you and seek to understand the parallels in your world today. For the same attitude that betrayed and killed Me and rebelled against all My words still exists today to again do the same things to My Chosen Ones, whom I will send to reprove them and to be My Leaders of those who remain blind under Christendom’s teachings.
Seek to see all things My way. Ask always for greater understanding and I will open your eyes to many truths, to your fast maturing. Apply diligence to your studies, for the time is short for to prepare you for your task I have chosen for you. Look to Me to reveal the plight of your people more than you have ever understood. For indeed they are in great pain. And I have great pity for them.
Only when you come see MY VISION for your people can you come to indeed lead them as Martin Luther King did. And so, understand that indeed you can overcome. Indeed ye must overcome first in order to help them overcome also. Remember, he had a vision which drove him to pursue it and to share it to give hope to My people who were oppressed. And his vision gave them hope. And he knew his latter end also, that he would be assassinated; but he was at peace in that he had given his life to Me and was at peace in My will for him. Be thou likewise, present and future, and you will remain in My peace and My Love, saith thy Redeemer. It is not the noble, the wealthy or the “wise” I call; for behold, they are full of themselves and their own wisdom. I can find no place of entrance in such individuals, but I will choose them who are willing to be taught, willing to be led and guided, who are not so confident in their own ability to do for Me according as logic and reason directs them.
Can you not see that hundreds of years of man’s religious ways and doings have not yet delivered My groaning Creation? Have ye not seen their arrogant claims, prejudices and biased opinions? Are ye willing to be re-taught? Thus I choose the simple, the weak and what society terms “base” and “worthless”, and I will raise them up and make them the jewels in My Crown, and leaders of My people.
Even so, man by wisdom knows not Me nor My ways. So let Me lead you, teach you, guide you and I shall raise you above the heads of them all.

Blessed are the eyes that stay focused on Me; they shall have peace maintained. Blessed are the ears trained to hear only My Voice; for they shall be filled with it. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after Me, “Knowledge”, “Wisdom” and “Truth”; they shall receive according to their diligence.
Behold, the world makes it’s own way and the people live by their own means, strength, wisdom and power. They know not Me nor the help I could be unto them. For most of them it is all the same as if I did not exist. They never hear Me. They heard I was dead and risen, gone into Heaven somewhere; but I am not here for them. As far as they can see they are all alone in the world.
Tell them I have not left them alone. Tell them of My Love for them. Tell them I am alive to teach those who come unto Me for their learning. Tell them to seek for the hearing of My Voice. Tell them to listen carefully and to shut down the noise in their life. For I cannot be heard where there is much noise, especially by the untrained ear. My heart goes out unto them but they do not know it. What shall I do, stop them on the street corners and introduce Myself? Then they would not believe Me. They must desire to know Me and ask Me sincerely and I will gauge the sincerity of their heart and answer them according thereunto.
Therefore, ye who would hear from Me, with all sincerity and diligence, ask, seek and knock and I will reply. For I desire to speak unto you that ye might have hope in “I AM” and that ye might follow My Voice of encouragement and correction. Saith the Lord. Ask Me!

There is a way that seemeth rightly ordained but it is empty if it be not totally by My Holy Spirit’s direction. Though it sounds right, remember that things are not always as they seem. The walk of My Spirit is a silent witness; a path unto righteousness as you learn to walk with confidence in My leading. For I spoke little and My walk was the wellspring of My power as I submitted unto My Father’s will.
So shall it be in these last days for My Chosen; the witness of their walk before Me will resonate in the minds and hearts of all who see it. For in My Children shall they come to behold Me in My completeness manifested unto them. For My way is one of life resurrected and not laced with the dead works to which mankind has become accustomed. For I am alive unto and within those who will receive Me in My fullness. Those who will find Me will be those who accept My renewed Life and follow Me as My Holy Spirit guides them to truths that cannot be disputed. For unto them I AM ALIVE EVERMORE, and through them is My promise of everlasting Life a truth, not just a phrase without meaning. I am regenerated daily in a fuller measure as they come to behold Me and to acknowledge for themselves that I AM. To all who will ask I shall speak and they shall know for a certainty that they are Mine. For My sheep hear My Voice and by such do they come to know their True Shepherd. As they mature in that confidence My Holy Spirit can lead them to greener pastures of everlasting truth, understanding and wisdom.
For as I am so shall they be and I shall teach them all that I know, withholding nothing from those of child-like faith, who seek and follow that still, small voice that I am within them.
Come, all that hunger and thirst and ye shall learn the realms of My righteousness that is My GIFT unto those who will receive it, and it shall wash you white as snow, though the law declares you to be scarlet; and ye shall find peace, acceptance and rest in My Grace.
Doors that once were welded shut shall fly open before you as you learn the power of true resurrection faith and I shall provide for your needs and ye shall not have to worry. Joy will fill your heart and ye shall come to know My Love and together we shall overcome.
Those that seek unto Me shall find Me and they shall walk in My way. I shall be the oil in their lamp and My Spirit shall be a light unto their feet as their darkness is removed, and they come to see clearly for themselves and hear plainly within them all that I can and will say unto them. For My Chosen will know Me; will see My hand at work within their lives; will hear and obey My leading as the hurdles are removed.
Those that seek unto themselves or unto other men reject Me and the truth that I offer; and they will walk crookedly in the darkness of their own deception. No truth can be found in compromise and no power can be displayed without faith in the unseen, yet alive, Spirit that I AM. I AM that strait and narrow path unto all that will endure eternally.

Hope endures every trial. Faith receives every blessing. Love receives love again in return. It is Mine everlasting way. That hope that is ungrounded in Me receives nothing but disappointment and frustration. That faith grounded in “religiosity” hopes for that it shall never receive, not grounded in the Eternal that I AM. They who received My promises in the past had them spoken unto them personally. And their faith in those words was tried and proven faithful first.
So endure in faith, believing in My ability, in hope of receiving and you shall indeed receive the end of that hope, even the obtaining of that thing (or things) hoped for. Even as Abraham and Sarah who hoped against hope for the son I had promised, though all told them there was no way that Abraham could bring forth seed at 100 years old; and Sarah, who’s womb was long dead, could bear that child at ninety and nine.
Thus believe and ye shall receive. Put forth thy faith in asking, seeking and knocking; and surely ye will come to know Me even as ye are known by Me, your Creator.
Why would I speak to you now in this day and in this time? Because I love you whom I have created for My pleasure, and I desire to bring you unto My heart and care for you like no preacher ever could or would. Your life is your own to determine what you will do with it, and thy will a sovereign right unto Me. I will force nothing upon you. But as I created you in hopes that you would desire to follow Me and to complete that purpose for which I created you, I do desire that you seek to find Me for yourself and come to know My Voice of Instruction.
In the day when following Me is against the laws of your land, where else will you receive instruction or help but through Mine inspeaking voice? In the time of disaster, how will ye know to flee in order to save yourself from that judgement upon the wicked? Do you believe there will come a time of persecution and martyrdom for My sake? Do you believe there will be a mark of allegiance to the one I called “The Beast”? Yes, Indeed these times will come, and great persecution upon those who refuse that alliance.
But as I am the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, I can protect My own who are doing My works. And even though it seems all is stacked against your survival, forget not that I am STILL the miracle-working God of the Bible, and no man can harm thee if I deem it not according to MY will and purpose.
Many things I cannot answer you now, but must through situations teach you. These lessons called “experience” are very much a part of My School lessons. But, behold, My truth is many layers; levels of understanding you must “grow through”, spiritually speaking, to obtain completeness of understanding concerning My wisdom. And many of your questions I must answer by revealing it unto you by experience. So do not think I do not answer your earnest prayers to understand. But keep your eyes open as I lay it out before you.
The world bids you to consume your days in apathy and pleasures which are fleeting. As sugar pleases the taste and is “good”, yet there is no substance to feed thy hungry body--hungry for true nutrients. Nevertheless you crave it’s empty pleasures. So also with worldly things. Ye know they be empty, yet ye indulge in them because of the pleasure involved. Just understand that even as you must feed your body with “real food” containing the nutrients your body must have in order to function, so also must you endeavor to feed your soul and spirit My Living Words, both spoken and written, in order that your spirit be nourished.
Churches have a form of this type nourishment, but you have found it more like sugar in the past, empty and lifeless and void of that good your spirit longed for. So learn a lesson of obedience and know that children love sugars and candies and would eat them all day if they could, but you know they must have real meat and food if they will grow up strong, else toothless and diabetic and obese they shall become. The parallel of spirit is that if indeed ye be fed some spiritual “candy” for a short-lived boost in church, it will only leave you unable to eat that which indeed be worthy of digesting. Selah.

Mine ear is not deafened that it cannot hear your cries; nor Mine eye dimmed so that it cannot see your needs. My discerning is not dulled so that I cannot hear your deepest desires. Thus is Mine arm still able to bring forth Love and mercy, pity and compassion unto all of your needs.
You’re short-sighted, seeing only as far as your own abilities. Yet know that I can see way past you and know a way I can help. If by chance there is no way, I SHALL MAKE ONE. So therefore be trusting, and give glory where glory is due, and ever acknowledge My hand, My wisdom, My provision; wherever thy help comes from.
Know ye not that My angels are everywhere appearing as mortals in your day and time? “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for some have entertained angels unawares” that later disappeared from their sight. Saith My Scriptures. Do you believe this? Hebrews 13:2 I say not that all are angels, but I have many helping hands that do My work for Me. Thus be at peace in completeness of faith concerning My ability to help you through your fellow-men, acting under My guidance.
Behold, give thanks unto Me and lend a helping hand when you can or even a word of kindness. Thus do you repay such debts unto Me.

Happiness comes from the inside out, not from the outside in. If you have My happiness and joy within you, no matter where you are, on the street, living in a dump, or surrounded by wealth and beauty, you are happy.
Many people look upon things saying; “if I can get that, THEN I will be happy!” Yet the unhappiness within is only temporarily anesthetized by such outward things. True Joy is known only on the inside, in the soul. And once that joy and thus peace is in you, you have your joy, even in a war zone. But understand, such joy as I speak of is not of man nor in man by or of himself, but comes in a pure relationship and a pure conscience with Me. Considering so many disobediences sully the conscience and take away the pure joy and peace, how needful for you to learn to stay in obedience and win the prize that is associated with it.
Come now to see that having little with peace and joy is so much better than to have much with also much debt hung around your neck. You think that having money buys you happiness, peace or joy? No. Only more headaches. So ye who desire happiness, peace and joy, know that it comes of a clean conscience and being satisfied to live without so many luxuries. It comes in being contented wherever I place you. It comes in the ceasing of thy striving to ever improve thy lot, and to acknowledge My will where you now are and your acceptance of that, and what you now have. Because if you are always wanting better than you now have, you will never be satisfied with what you are and what you now have; thus never in peace, happiness or joy.
And ye who ever seek to change your situation, whom I am teaching, run not from the lessons I have placed you in the middle of. For if you run, the lesson must go with you wherever you run; you cannot escape it. And over and over shall the lesson repeat until you have learned it. Thus look not upon life’s situations as just “situations out of your control” which you’d rather be freed from; but as lessons to be learned, and apply thyself thereunto with all diligence; and wish no longer to get away from that which would teach thee PATIENCE, HUMILITY AND LOVE. For indeed the vastness of My lessons escapes you, you being short-sighted. But after you have learned ye will see clearly why you had to experience that; in order to learn.
Seek not to establish your happiness upon who or what you can have. After a bit, you’ll again be lusting for something or someone else. There is no true satisfaction in the collecting of “things”. But set your eye upon Me in acknowledgment of My hand being upon your situation. And seek to make your own attitude adjustments in My humbling process upon you. What I am making of you ye understand not now, but ye shall know it clearly later. And, My Creature, you’ll be glad for what I did, and for your faith in Me, your Creator, to get you there.
Trust Me. Put your hand in Mine and walk day by day with Me. Receive My joy and My peace through ceasing to strive in your own strength for “petty baubles” when I have an Eternity and a Kingdom to people and occupy. Behold, I have jewels and gems to lay in you beyond the worth of gold or diamonds. But you must let Me do My own work of firing you within to cleanse you from all defilement; yea, even “Self”. Selah and Amen. Says the Deliverer.

The peace that passes all understanding does not come to them who fill their ears with noise and their heads with a confusion of many voices. Behold, only worse confusion results. How can it be any different? That which seeks to surround itself with noise seeks to drown out the voice of it’s own sorrows and pain. To surround one’s self with music is to seek to bring it inside and to be one with it. To seek to hear many sermons by way of radio or tapes is to attempt to internalize the beliefs and doctrines and so, to learn them well.
Except the Living Word, Himself, be formed in you, ye have none of My Spirit nor My Life. Every foundation which man has laid of his own wisdom or speeches will be torn down. For no foundation can be laid that will stand except for Mine, which will stand forever. Thus be rooted and grounded in Me, the sure foundation that evermore will stand.
Surround not thyself with noise to drown out the inward problems crying to be addressed. You cannot learn by memorizing and know that no life comes to you by way of sermons on tape. Come to ME that ye might have Life and have it more abundantly than you ever thought possible. But it is your choice, after all is said and done; so I await your decision, which will soon become evident.
Behold, what Teacher hast thou that can be compared to Me? And what is that school that encompasses all of your life? That lessons be understood by you in utmost clarity, I design situations and circumstances necessary to bring about learning. Yea, greater understanding will be offered to you; your own choice as to whether or not you accept it and grow past it to the next level of learning in Me. Selah.

Peace be established in the heart broken and contrite before Me, saith the Lord. Joy be established in the heart cleansed and renewed by Me. Regeneration be established in the heart submitted that walks with Me daily, to the subjecting of all thoughts to My cleansing, correcting fire.
Where there is no cleansing and correcting there is no regenerating taking place. Even as where there is no repenting, there is no releasing of guilt long established in the heart; even an exceeding great weight.
Where problems and troubles present themselves, there is the seeking of freedom from the burden and strain of them. Earth life offers some alleviations of these things after a temporary sort; temporarily numbing the mind, will and the conscience. But the greater weight comes after the anesthesia wears off to find that the problems or troubles have only increased upon the mind and heart.
Thus true relief comes only through repentance and the releasing of guilt by thy contrition before Me. By no means does this “fix” the trouble within, which originally caused the desire to flee into the oblivion of the anesthesia usually chosen. That trouble must be dealt with over time, as behavior changes come to be applied.
KNOW THIS: There is no cleansing without until there be cleansing within the troubled soul. And so, seek not to cleanse the outward, which is only the visible manifestation of the inward turmoil, nor judge another because of those things outwardly manifested; but seek to understand that except I am allowed to cleanse that inward state, the outer will never be successfully cleansed. Thus submit the inward mess, no matter how filthy, unto My cleansing fire in all contrition, that thou mayest be cleansed every whit. And the outward condition will then mirror the inward, and all will be well.
Seek not to enforce outward conforming to a religious or “holy” appearance, nor put a burden of condemnation upon others, to further bury that one in pain and guilt, but rather pray for them, that true and total submission of all those things inside will bring forth total regeneration unto peace within, and the resulting desired holiness and cleanness shall appear without. Selah and Amen. Saith the only True, Wise Judge of all men.

My main ministry was a ministry of Love, of equality and brotherhood and of acceptance; not of acceptance of all in realms of compromise, but of all men of every race, that they were beloved of My Father; and that He had sent Me to die, a propitiation (atonement) for the sins of all men, past, present and future; and thus to give them pardon and a chance to return to a state of communion with their Creator if they would seek after Him through My Holy Spirit. Thus what I gave, I gave to all, even the forgiveness of sins; and tried to bring all to a state of equality and reunion with their God.
It had nothing to do with religious works, which produced a self righteous attitude, as is taught in the churches and was taught in the synagogues in My day, but rather a personal walk day by day and to receive instruction by way of Holy Spirit instruction, so that they did not have to be taught by men and thus be misled, but they could come directly to Me for their own learning.
I yet call all, without respect to race or gender; and My promise is unto all, who are no more or less than any of their brother men; all of one family and of one blood. Ye see races and colors. Know that ye are bred from one family that got separated at the tower of Babel. I say, Love one another. So shall ye be known as My disciples. And in love and respect for one another, ye shall not fight to lord over each other; but all, in submission to Me and to My Holy Spirit’s instruction and guidance, shall find that unity and brotherhood I came to bestow on all who would believe and receive Me.
O come, all ye hungry and thirsty, and learn from Me, and ye shall see great change coming forth in thee! Release your lives, your futures unto My plan and purpose and I will carry you unto the end of the way and your works shall be successful and eternal. Ye need not to be bound in Christendom, nor members of any denominations. Do your own studies, looking to Me for your learning, and spiritual understanding shall be given. Love will be there, and joy and peace, says the Lord; even MY peace, which passes all understanding. Even so, Amen.

The degree of faith that obtains is not known nor practiced in all of Christendom, but their faith is based in words and in talk. Their belief is in a book of words; in THEM they think they have life. But they refuse to come to or to believe in the AUTHOR of those words or to come to Him, themselves alone, to be taught. Thus unbelief separates them from Me, thus they go unto the blind to be taught by them. Thus there is no true obtaining faith in Christendom, thus no obtaining of the cherished promises of My word by any of them.
Wherein they all hope to “fly away” and then to receive that promised redemption in heaven, where no one dies because all is eternal life there, so wherein would the “redemption of the purchased possession”, even their bodies, do them any good? It is upon the earth that this redemption was to come forth to prepare them for that future work, even My plan and purpose. But all of Christendom wants to fly away, negating all My future work through any of them, thus negating My plan and purpose for all of them.
Now shall I say again that they frustrate My grace and make void My promises unto them, remaining in a state of unbelief so that I can do nothing good for or unto them. Wanting to enter heaven as spiritual babies that have spent all their days in blind, self-righteous and judgmental zeal, trying to sabotage all My work, thinking they do Me a good service by putting down and putting out all My true servants I have sent unto them to awaken them from the sleep of death unto TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS AND PIETY IN PURITY OF HEART, SOUL AND BODY.
O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have written of Me; ye who claim the rights to My Kingdom and call all yours, yet hate your brother man for whom also I died; I SAY, EXAMINE YOUR WAYS AND KNOW THAT YOUR WORKS ARE NOT FOUND PERFECT BEFORE ME. YE FOLLOW A CANDLE WHICH HATH GONE OUT. IT LOOKS LIKE A CANDLE AND HAS THE CAPABILITY OF GIVING LIGHT, BUT MY HOLY SPIRIT FLAME IS NOT ALIGHTING THEREON; SO YE LIGHT IT BY THY STRANGE FIRE LIGHT AND BEHOLD, IT IS AS JEREBOAM’S ALTAR, AN ABOMINATION BEFORE ME, THE “I AM” OF OLD. 1 Kings 12:25-33
Seek the truth and pursue it; even Him who is the AUTHOR OF THE SCRIPTURES and the WORD MADE MANIFEST, and ye shall come to find My will and way; else ye grope in the darkness of thy own imaginations of holiness, righteousness and purity, without regard to that which is the true state of these.
Satan shall ever offer you the counterfeit, to make you think you are serving Me when ye but serve “self”. Thus hear the truth at My mouth and be wise and turn and rend your heart and not your garments if so be that I might hear you and turn and heal your land. But if not, ye shall see the end of all your pipe dreams going up in flames and pillars of smoke.
Seek Me. Seek truth or prepare to lose all you have, no matter what your preachers have told you. For only I am Truth, therefore, come to Me, saith the Word made flesh who dwelt among you, even Jesus, the Christ of God. Amen.

BUILD YOUR HOUSE UPON ME, THE SOLID ROCK
Peace, without a shadow of a doubt, will be with you as you follow Me. Hope shall ground you in Me. No, ye shall never find stability in yourselves; not alone nor standing in groups, for stability is not in man or men but exists only in the Rock hardness that I AM, as the storms and winds and waves of life’s troubles beat against you.
Ye men think you must be stable and strong for yourselves and your families. And yet when the winds of tribulations come upon you, and the waves of adversity beat against your house and undermine your faith, ye are not solid but become eroded and your stability crumbles before your eyes.
Build upon the strong foundation that I AM, then even in deep waters ye shall remain grounded in Me. O come and let Me lay in thee My foundations, which exceed your finest concrete of man’s dreams and goals and moral standards. For there is no peace to be found in thy “house” falling apart in every storm.
Yea, the clouds of adversity thicken and the storms gear up to pound upon you; thus run for the shelter of My wings and stay thou with Me, tucked away in the security of faith and hope that I AM.
I am gleaning a few who will come unto Me, yet the many of them who call themselves Mine remain in Christendom and call their foundings “stable”. But I am about to shake Christendom and try their foundations, knowing mass devastation to be their lot. O come, as the storms are approaching, ye who would put your trust in Me alone, saith the Lord. I will lend you stability to endure. For thy buildings are not made of those things which endure the storms but are as cardboard box structures and will blow apart, leaving you exposed and broken. Shattered will all your dreams and promises be that have been fed to you by men.
Who is the man who would approach unto Me in the mightiness of earnest prayer in faith of receiving My leadings? Who is the woman who would step out in faith to receive My guidance though all would tell her that she is wrong? Shall ye keep your friends, yea, fellowships with men, to the loss of all thy house? Behold, friendships and fellowships shall not yield unto thee the solidity that I AM. Only being solidly attached to Me will do that. Blend your heart with Mine in ONENESS. Yield your will and future unto Me in SUBMISSION, counting My prize of an holy calling worth more than futures, worth more than thy independent attitude, for I say those things shall not endure eternally.
Would you build your house out of the thatch and grasses of Christendom’s teachings or would ye have Me to build you level by level with Mine impenetrable bricks? Behold, the grass house is quickly blown apart. But the brick and block structure designed by Me shall endure every storm and ye shall remain dry, calm and at peace as the cold wind and rains blow against you.
As ye prepare yourselves for winter, be not as the foolish, who build their thatch homes upon the sandy beaches of man’s dreams and theology. Would ye be continually trying to rebuild, if indeed ye survive at all? Who is the man or woman who will thus trust Me to build in them according to Mine own specifications? Who will let Me tie all the layers together with My strength of steel truths? Behold, I am the only wise Master Builder who can build thee in a solid fashion to endure; that which shall ever stand the storms and shaking that is to come.
Young men, young women; I call thee unto Me that I, Myself, can prepare thee for the task I had pre-planned for thee in the day of thy creating. For as I made thee and as I sent thee unto earth, I had already a plan and a divine purpose for thy life, if only ye would seek Me that I might reveal it. So many are launching out on their own wisdom upon the “mission fields”, as directed by their churches, only to find a lack of satisfaction with their work in Me. Only to find the way hard and the doors of opportunity closed unto them. If ye be led of men and taught of men, ye think My blessing will be upon your work. Know that I took of the shepherds who tended flocks, UNLEARNED, and made of them prophets to send with My words of power unto My people. And know their work was successful, directed only by Me. I have no need of your Bible college degrees or all your pride in your seminaries, but hold out unto you truth and wisdom, obtained only by the hearts of humility and sincerity. And My “mission fields” ye know not of, which are white unto harvest, yet few are the laborers I can send because few I find willing and able, who have followed Me unto their solid grounding.
Taste and see that My Bread of Life is good and that My River of Life would flow through you to the hurting, would you but first submit your own selves to My training.
And go to now, ye rich men who tell lies to My servants and say they have that which they do not have and send them forth into peril. Ye say they represent you on the mission fields, and indeed they are mirror images of your frailty and of your doctrine. O wicked servants and sons of Satan! Ye make your converts twice the child of hell ye yourselves are! Ye take great monies from your students and teach them your own wisdom to go and evangelize and rob and bind down every other nation’s people like unto yourselves. You offer bread, schools and clothes to needy nations, yet ye make it “conditional” so that they must come to be a part with thee. But thou livest sumptuously and hath plenty here in America, while they yet scratch and beg for the morsels of crumbs from thy table.
Yes, ye are ineffective there except to add to thy numbers, memberships-wise, yet when they call themselves by thy denominational name, what have they? Ye can boast of great numbers, yet still ye have not My Life nor My Spirit and thus are none of Mine. And all thy faithful followers, converts ye have made, will fall with you in the day of thy destruction. Who then will pity thee, O Christian nation, when they find out ye have sold them nothing but your lies in My Name?
Behold, the day goeth forth and with it, destruction cometh; and though ye hide yourselves under the rocks of falsehoods hence shall My proud waves seek you out and dash thee upon those same rocks thou sought to find safety and shelter under, from Me. Thou that hide from Me, yet do I see thy nakedness is evident, and hence shall ye be cast out of My Wedding Supper. And to all the world shall thy true nature become evident.
O Behold, world, the door to Mine Ark of Mercy yet stands open and Mine invitation to enter, yet a little while only. Do not stand without, mocking at My true servants speaking Mine own words of Life and admonition, but come thou, for ye know not when it shall quickly close and My flood of judgements overtake thee in thine inward complacency.
Ye hold onto toys that ye know ye cannot bring with you, not wanting to part with them.But consider thou carefully; are they worth losing thy soul over? Consider it well, My wayward people, for the sands of the hourglass are quickly running out... Saith thy Redeemer.

Experience is the best teacher, and one I use very often. To judge another as less than you for something they do or did, that ye did or do not, is to not seek to understand why they do or did it but to set thyself in a judgement seat. My retribution upon you, in other words, My judgement meted out upon your pride is often times to put you in the same situation as they, under the same influences, that ye may learn by experience not to judge thy brother, for whom also I died.
What sin is worse than another, and who art thou to judge such differences, except thou trust in thine own reasoning to be worthy of judging others? Hence have many fallen into sin that they may learn not to be judges of their brother man, nor condemning others and thinking themselves righteous. For none of you are “good”, no not one, saith My scriptures. All have gone away from Me following their own way and reason.
Thus it is for each one to see wherein he fails and to return unto Me, his Creator, from the pits of darkness into which he has fallen, that I might bring forth forgiveness through his acknowledgment of his error and repentance before Me.
It is not the right of any preacher or teacher to judge their students, nor to condemn them, as I have given all a sovereign will to take the path they choose. It is not the right of any preacher to condemn, nor to teach condemnation to their congregations after the manner of them pre-judging My people. They who teach such know not Me nor Mine heavenly principles.
You can scare no man into My Kingdom, but offer him hope in nothing but fear, which cancels out hope. Demanding their flesh to conform to “holy-ness” is to frustrate My grace. Know ye not that flesh; even all flesh, is enmity to Me and cannot and will not be made to walk in spirit? So you who carry a false front of holiness but walk after your own understanding, I expose as a fraud and ye will not make My Kingdom in this walk of falsehood.
Come to Me and be baptized in the fire of My Love which shall cleanse you of all flesh and self, that ye may, in all truth, walk in holiness and purity. Then My righteousness can be given you as a gift; yea, a garment I would give you to cover thy spiritual nakedness.
For they who clothe themselves in self-righteousness, I will tell you again what they are like. My prophet Isaiah said: “all our righteousness are as filthy rags.” Thus behold, lay aside the filthy garments and come to Me that I may clothe thee with My own righteousness, that ye may be acceptable in My sight.
Ye are as children needing to be led and re-taught by Me. Therefore cease to seek the teachings and wisdoms of men that shall avail thee nothing, and come unto My feet. And cease to judge thy brothers and sisters, which defiles you and makes Me have to cast you out of My Presence to go see what their plight is like for yourself. Selah.

“Let he among you that is without sin cast the first stone.”
The way by which ye are to walk will be made evident so long as ye keep your eye focused upon Me. The moment you look away to be consumed with thoughts about another, to be upset with them or disappointed in their actions which may not please you, then is when falling begins. Then is when interruption of your peace begins. Then is when many thoughts and ill feelings begin to pile upon each other. And though they may seem right enough to thee, yet do they drown you in depression, doubt, anger and self-pity.
The world has many ways of dealing with situations. Some self-destruct, turning anger and hurt inward upon themselves. Some outwardly explode, damaging all around them. Who is to say which is worse? Some invent devious games to play with the emotions of others, or to manipulate another by their actions.
I say, wherein thou art offended, walk away, and submit thyself unto Me, thus evenness of thy spirit shall remain. I say, lay all upon My altar, forgiving the offense and your peace shall return. Bitter words are a long time being forgotten, and do their own kind of wounding. Bitter thoughts unexpressed also do their own wounding in spirit and poison thy own soul. So wherein ye harbor bitter resentment, hurt and rejection, or just outright anger, give it all to Me and forgive them who sin against you. For unto Me are ye responsible for the way in which ye deal with these things.
Telling your feelings to others so that they will realize their offense is to be done only after that thou hast forgiven, else the telling will be the spark the fight needs to begin in earnest; and surely ye will dwell upon what ye shall say and thus become only more angry or hurt.
Others many times do not realize they have offended you but are oblivious to thy pain. Is this due to insensitivity on their part? Sometimes. And sometimes thou art too easily offended. Nevertheless, bring thy thoughts to Me before they bury you and cause you to fall. Relinquish thy pain to Me; thus WE -- you and Me -- can deal with it first and come to forgivingness, then surely in peace shall ye deal with the one who offended you. For in many things ye do offend one another and hurt one another; but it is not to come to blows, neither inward or outward ones.
Know, therefore, thine own spirit and cherish peace and not retribution, which maketh no peace but only war. Set thyself in a place of peace and entertain not thoughts of anger or malice, for these are the seeds of hate and animosity by which many unforgiving souls war with each other for years; sometimes even ages. It is better to offer up these feelings to Me and to forgive, even if only for MY sake, and for the sake of keeping thy spirit in peace and calm.
Situations have a way of fixing themselves when ye don’t try to do it by thy own imaginings of what you think will work. And this is new to you and you are unsure of it. But take My word for it, it works if you will let it. Selah and Amen saith He that forgave you all your mistakes. Matthew 18:21-35

Behold and know, Children of promise, Children of the Living God, that thy God is a God of Love, and understanding the deep desires of man; the deep pain and fears that accompany man and that drive him to do what he does in his life. Alone in the world, he thinks he makes all the decisions in and for his life. But there is ever My guiding hand upon them I would in mercy lead unto Me. Such are ye who find a desire for My grace in your life. For a time ye have wandered, trying this and trying that; all to thy dissatisfaction and hurt. But I know that man must wander to check out possibilities, and to numb the growing pain of emptiness inside him. O so many turn to drugs as a way of numbing life’s harsh realities for a season and wind up hurting the creature body I gave him. So many have died without My hope because they would not look to Me for help.
Behold, I ask to be given entrance to thy heart and to bring forth hope unto thee, and purpose. I stand not ready to condemn you young ones, as society does in their ignorance. But I, thy Creator, offer unto My hand in hopeful expectation of thy coming. For the world gets worse and worse and there is no hope therein. I would give you purpose for living and reveal My divine plan for your life, personalized just for you, would ye but seek Me for the revelation of this.
The time is late. The hour of My judgement rapidly approaches. There is not much time for preparing you. Won’t you come and accept My Love; yea, My saving grace upon your life? Behold, I am the Lord, your Creator. And I would that all would come. So many follow Me after their own fashioning; but I call thee unto Me, in utter sincerity of heart and mind, desiring to grasp hold of My Lifeline of hope, and grace and mercy; and yes, complete forgiveness shall be granted you.
Turn not away from the Voice of Truth as He speaks to you today, even the Voice of your conscience, My Spirit within you, and He shall guide you even unto My Feet; for nowhere else shall ye find Me. Selah.

Thus saith the Lord unto His Little Flock: yea unto those of His gathering who hear His voice and hearken obediently unto His proclamations:
As My thoughts are higher than your thoughts and My ways are higher than your ways, so do I speak plainly and clearly. For My truth is self-evident and My words are pure light to guide thee beyond the uncertainty of men’s cloaked and riddled sayings. For all that men can imagine is veiled because they behold not the pure truth nor do they seek to come fully unto the Light that I AM. Yet too many continue to seek unto men and to analyze that which they could offer. They spend the hours watching this one or that one, or in reading the veiled thoughts of one regarded as somewhat by others, or in going to see and hear what might be offered instead of coming unto Me.
That which is veiled is clouded with darkness, concealed in compromise and is the creation of vanity. It shall not endure, nor shall it nourish thy desire completely and it shall leave you hungry. Puffed air will never sustain thee or establish thee in growth. Yet men seek unto men that they can see, and their latter end is worse than before. For in the end, the riddle is interpreted differently by all those in the congregation, and truth is ever in dispute as confusion’s tempest rages, leaving them blown and tossed with no place to anchor and no port of refuge.
Those who cleave to that which is veiled will never come to see or appreciate the Light that I AM, nor will they understand the simplicity that I offer. There is only bondage in the darkness of riddles and catchy sayings to make one appear wiser than another. In Me and My Light is freedom and clarity. For nothing is hidden when all is exposed and truth becomes evident and stands on it’s own merit. All can see purely in the light; in the veiled they are left to guess and truth is ever disputed.
To those who seek unto Me. I, Jesus, will set them free of their bondage of veils. I will share with them My thoughts clearly and will establish within them My ways and they will be steadfastly certain of who I AM. For in them My Holy Spirit will be alive and they shall see My Life being birthed within them and manifested unto them. They shall not be blown and tossed by every wind of doctrine nor shall they have to be uncertain of understanding. Those who walk in the light shall not stumble but those who walk in men’s veiled darkness will ever be as the drunkard in thought and walk. Either ye stand on the rock that I AM or ye travel on the unstable seas of men.
Those who are double-minded (looking unto Me some and unto men some) cheat themselves of My Fullness. For man cannot deliver thee nor shall he care for thy outcome when and in the hour that all shall be shaken and removed from their foundations. In that day only those who have sought Me individually shall be founded upon the Rock; all others will see their sandy foundations eroding until they are swept away in the storm surge and washed out to sea to drown in their unpreparedness. For those who seek unto men, to books, to congregations that are not founded in Me, will know Me not, nor shall I know them, no matter how much they know of what men have said about Me.
Those who are Mine are My neighbor; they come out and we talk regularly. Our friendship is based upon trust and dependence upon each other. We care for each other and are glad for all we commonly share. In our neighborhood is love and dependence; we are complete. Together we overcome and are at peace with one another.
Those that are not Mine seek outside the place where they reside and their spiritual house is in disrepair from neglect. There can be no peace for the robber and the thief are ever on their mind and confusion rules within their hearts. In their darkness they are always afraid and uncertain of what today will bring.
As long as you spend your time and your money in the congregations of the robber and the thief, you will never find peace. Come ye out and be freed of their bondages. Come forth from your imprisonment into the Light where Truth will give you freedom.
Come ye unto Me, Jesus, and I and My Truth shall set you free. Let us be neighbors and ye shall dwell securely in that which I offer. I have torn the veils; yea, now come ye forth and I shall be alive in you and unto you. Leave man’s thoughts unto men and seek ye My higher thoughts; travel ye in My higher ways, and My truth will establish you upon the ROCK that shall endure eternally. Even “I AM”. Only by My Spirit shall it be found. All others play only in the sand, waiting to be cast aside evermore.

Forgetfulness of that which seals you in ME, namely worship, puts you in a state of weakness and lacking My JOY, which is to be your strength. Thus reading is an important part of your study-time with Me, but forget not silent contemplation and meditation upon those words. Let them sink down into thy soul. For they are Life and food for thy soul.
Ye want to learn; this is good. But My words are not as a book you can skim through and learn. You must really digest what is being taught or you will lose it.
In this day and in this time, all are pressed with schedules and things they want or need to do. In classes your attention was commanded, demanded, required. I would that ye give Me your attention also, and wait while I impress certain things upon your mind or your conscience. You can read My words and feel remorse, then get up and go away and forget what manner of man I showed you that you are. In this is no good learning. I ask you to read less if need be that ye may better absorb My lessons. For indeed these be Life and Bread to thy soul and spirit. So come, and enjoy My Presence with you as WE together do study these things. My tutorial skills are vast and I have the wherewithal to make you feel and see these things ye read about within yourselves if ye do not apply “D.N.A” (Does Not Apply) to your own self. For behold, My words shall peel you like an onion and layer by layer show you your own faults, failings and insecurities. This be My good process of revealing you to your own self privately so that you can see your need for My help, mercy and grace. For behold ye all think ye do well till I expose the inner being, ever neglected by you and unknown as to it’s hidden propensities. Lusting, coveting, pride, wrath, envying, strife and contentiousness all have their roots in this inward being. Sure, flesh is being burned away and self. But the “filthiness of flesh and spirit” is My work to clean up. 2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore during your study-time in My patient classes with you, I reveal these things to you. Thus to show you wherein ye yet fall short of purity. Ye are not to neglect this time of “soul-searching” though it be hard on your pride and ego. For it is necessary unto your offering up of these things I show you, that upon My Altar they may be burnt away. For I know that as the leopard cannot change his spots, so neither can ye, My Children, change these propensities toward evil.
Behold, I am not come to condemn nor to chastise you for what you cannot change. I am come to redeem you from all self and sin and to cleanse you every whit from all things that defile your being and which routinely cause you to do things unholy. And to desire uncleanness.
Behold, My way with you is redemptive. Christendom’s way is condemning if you don’t successfully conform to their “do’s and don’ts”. If ye do not meet their ideal, then ye are never truly accepted by them; this is not of Me. But you, I work with individually as ye faithfully come alone; and we must cooperate unto the overthrow of the old ways and ideas. My views will replace your old ones; and though for a season you won’t know what I am getting at, know that as your foundation is being laid, the style of the building is not evident. I give you verbal pictures of what I desire to achieve, but as yet ye comprehend not the design of the finished building. In this place ye must trust My greater wisdom and know that what ye commit to Me is safe and will not be stolen, lied to or discarded as useless by Me.
Behold, My foundation I lay in thee begins with the exchange of thy views and ways of thinking with My own higher views and ways of thinking. Thus thine “house” or “temple” becomes a temple or “tabernacle of wisdom”. And the beauty, glory, virtue or worth of these placements of My foundation truths are as gemstones and fine jewels laid in you. Thus shall this new temple I am building in you shine with the greatness and beauty of My heavenly light and will be as My Heavenly Jerusalem, whose foundations are made of the finest gems and jewels, and most precious. Revelation 21:10-22
My City in thee, becoming My own Kingdom as ye yield it’s rule unto Me, will be so solid and so firm that the gates of hell itself shall not prevail against it. And as ye yield unto My leadership and incorporate these My truths into thy thinking, ye shall find a stability of thine own emotions like unto a mighty fortress within, wherein life’s storms shall no longer batter you to pieces, nor undermine your faith in Me. For consider that all you’ve ever known are Christendom’s foundations that are sandy. And thy houses within are built upon the hay of man’s dreams, the wood of man’s beliefs, and the stubble of man’s opinions; and based on the sand of Christendom’s changeable traditions surely left thee with a thatch and grass structure built on the beach. And storms of life have routinely torn you apart and it took you years to rebuild and regain your composure and supposed stableness. Without being based in truth -- that means in My Bible -- ye had no foundation but learned morals, which essentially based you on nothing. Yet morals can and do change and then there goes your “house of cards” again.
Lust not after the carefree-ness of the world. For unto them there is no peace except in their escaping the consciousness of reality to drown their sorrows in chemical dependency, which rather rises up to bite them and their situation is made worse.
All have addictions; some inward, some outward. Shall I summarily execute or “lock up” all of you? Be glad that I judge not as man does. For he looks in condemnation upon those he considers outwardly guilty of crime, yet considers not his own inward and hidden state, and that he is no better.
O behold Me, and sit in My classes with you -- just you alone -- and be honest with yourself on all that we find. For ye must see what you are in order to get better. And pride in self must be crushed; ground to powder in order to do well. Thy flesh and pride is Mine enemy and will never relinquish it’s rule to Me willingly. Ye all know that when a kingdom changes kings, the old king must either die or be exiled, else he will be constantly stirring up trouble to unseat the new king.
I, the new King, seek the seat of thy heart and emotions. Your old king, “flesh”, “self”, “ego”, does not want to give up his old ways and must be put to death in thee. I expose the darkness of his ways and the uncertainness of his decisions and show unto thee how they fail to produce right action (in My opinion) in you, but rather are detrimental. Thus the battle between us rages on; you obeying self sometimes and Me sometimes, till ye are feeling torn apart and abused by both of us. Your flesh wars against My Spirit, and My Spirit wars against your flesh; and both want to be pre-eminent but cannot, for the seat cannot be shared. And you make the choice over who is ruling by your will and decision. Thus all seems crazy for a season till thou just give in and give up to My leadership authority in everything ye know. Then peace is obtained. Flesh goes into hiding, and wherever it pops up there is trouble (rebellion), but submitting to My known will, peace is soon achieved.
Behold, the fight for thy kingdom within need not be a long one. It all depends on thy desire to give up and to give in, desiring Me more than playing around any longer with self’s lusts and decisions. Wherefore, WORSHIP strengthens your bond with My will and removes you farther from Self, and looking keenly at all the bad stuff being revealed in you makes you sure you want rid of the old king who ruled in his own knowledge, strength and wisdom, which proved only detrimental to you.
Enhance spirit knowledge whereby ye may [desire to] walk with Me; and hang not onto the old thoughts and ways of flesh, which seek to drown thee in thy old ways. Worry not what I am building every minute of the day for this is not faith but the opposite of it. Trust Me to know what I’m doing and to make of thee, My Creature, a thing pleasing in My sight, redeemed from that which was thy pain and downfall, bringing thee through the law of sin and death to be dead to it through My Righteousness, which I shall put upon you. For by the works of your flesh to please Me you cannot be justified, no matter how numerous they are. No, My righteousness can’t be bought with money; tithes, offerings, no, not even 20%, 30% or 40% of earned income. It frustrates My Grace and Holiness to think you can buy your way into any kind of favor with Me. What need have I of your currency? Give unto Me what I desire, namely your heart, your life, your present and your future, submitted unto My will. And where there is a true need, feed My hungry, clothe the naked, supply the widow and the orphan, for these are My true requirements and true religion indeed. James 1:27
Where ye see My true work going on ye may support it. But do not be regimented in the old Levitical order of duty to tithing. If ye are come(ing) into My New Covenant of Peace, know that such as ye offer unto Me, whether of monies or services or things, do ye from the heart poured out in love or do it not at all. For I cannot bless a begrudging giver. And if thou art poured out in love towards Me, ye will see all you have as Mine and ye only stewards of these things. Behold, therefore, hold all loosely and do not base your hope or security in them. For ONE of My natural disasters can and will take it all apart for you.
Behold, Beloved, I am the Master. Ye are the student. I only give thee what, in My wisdom, will help thee to grow and be cleansed, purged and purified. If My words seem like a sword, a hammer or a fire, know that they are always that way to uncrucified flesh. Self and flesh shy away from them for they mean death to self and flesh, but only according to thy willingness to incorporate them into thy life by contemplation and meditation on how they apply to you.
The “washing of regeneration” takes place by this process as My torrents of truth wash away all the old [way of] thinking and ye become a new creature by submitting the old mind to operate in the new mind of Christ, given you by these My messages, these classes and My words of direction and correction spoken directly unto you. Thus worship, submit and learn. We shall go as fast as your submission will allow. I can promise you that. Selah and Amen.

All your life are lessons to be learned, fears to confront and seances to be judged. Spirits are to be acknowledged for what they are and do. Ye are to know the influences that intrude from without and that try to influence you. You are coming to learn how to control your kingdom; yea, the kingdom of thought; yea, indeed the thought life. You shall learn what be of your own device and inner concept as compared to that which be outward influence from spirits that tempt and them that seek to control you through fear or lust or incite unto proud thoughts or even religiosity.
For there shall nothing remain in you but stillness and peace by which you shall be maintained; then ye can truly say and know of a surety that you have control over your inward kingdom and will no longer be swayed and tossed about in your mind, spirit or emotions.
None of My Children can be Sons and Daughters; yea, soldiers in My Army, and effective until they win the inner fights that come from all directions. And confront all the inward fears that are a part of their life. I give thee power to tread on scorpions, to tread on serpents, and every form of wicked assault, but only upon that land your own foot conquers can you call your own.
Behold the illusion of fear of evil beings is conquered by the knowledge of them and the power I give unto you through My Name and My Blood. And surely they will try to cause you to fear, that their works remain in the dark and hidden. But know within yourself your victory over them by My power and ye shall be victorious over all your fears.
Known then, unto you, will be their tricks, assaults and deceptions. And you’ll be prepared thereunto. Behold, this is growing up unto maturity in Me. So again I say, Fear Not! For the Most High has authority and dominion over all these things. And you, dwelling IN ME, have also that same authority.
Ye will see the bondages others are under and declare against it by the leading of My Spirit. You will bind these powers over others, and loose them from their captivity. Yet understand it is everyone’s own choice as to whether or not they, by their actions and/or willingness, allow them back in. In some cases, spirits will return bringing seven of their buddies and the last state of that person will be worse than the first. So wherein you bind in another and cast out, ye must fill that void in them with the loosing of My Holy Spirit upon them so that the wicked ones come not back again. Wherein ye can advise them against activity that re-introduces these spirits, do so. But whoso won’t listen, it must be their own choice and decision.
Many have been turned over to Satan for the destruction of their flesh. You can only pray for their eventual turning. Understand that I do use turmoil or tribulation in the life as an effective teacher, that they may see, by the sorrowful result of their actions, not to pursue that thing again. Some take years in this progression of learning. Nevertheless, My work goes on, that I may lead them back to My Feet.
Children, look for My hand in your lessons. For many times ye are so taken up in the deeds of others who offend you that ye cannot but complain always and do not see what I would have you learn from their behavior. Keep your eyes open, therefore, for what I would teach you, and condemn not thy brother or sister for whom also I died, but rather pray for them. Don’t cancel My lesson for yourself by always complaining. Do your own learning of lessons well, Beloved. Else I will have to repeat these painful lessons before you until you do. Selah and Amen.

Behold, when thou regarded Me not, I, thy Redeemer, chose thee. Yea, I chose thee, not thou chosest Me, and I placed thee in the refiner’s furnace of affliction to be readied and purified so that I might fashion thee into that which I would make. In thee I have placed that which is necessary to do My good work, and I now will bring you forth unto My glory, saith Jesus.
Those I have chosen was My decision. For I consult not with men, nay, not even with thee. For from the beginning was it ordained to be so that My Holy Spirit should rescue you from your wanderings and your testimony shall be to the rescuing of multitudes in the hour that I shall send thee forth. It is not what you know, nor what you have seen, but that which I have placed within you that you know not of yet. So take no credit, no glory for yourself.
For I choose the simple to confound the haughty and the wise. In the humble perspective is peace to be found and their faith is only in Me. From nothing shall I bring forth much and the end of it shall be as rivers of blessing unto those who hunger and thirst for deliverance. I shall give unto you hope and you shall be freed to accompany Me unto the complete overcoming of all that held thee down and kept you back. To all who will receive of Me I shall give unto you to the measure you are willing to accept. Those who fully give shall fully receive Me in My fullness, and all shall marvel who view it; and all shall be ashamed who held back and received it not.
I, Jesus, place no limits upon thy redemption. Nay, only you, by being bound in fear and unbelief, will limit your borders of what I can and shall inhabit. To those who allow Me free reign I shall fashion and adorn thee and ye shall sparkle and shall be polished gems; “living stones” unto My glory evermore.
Submit with gladness to My Refiner’s fire and all dross shall be drawn away as I fill you with gladness. My love shall come upon thee as a firestorm and ye shall find complete restoration before thy Creator. Draw not away but draw closer unto Me and My furnace shall awaken within thee all that I am, and you shall see My fullness and stature being developed in your vessel. My righteousness shall spring forth and ye shall behold purity of vision.

Peace that passes all understanding comes in the knowledge that I am in acceptance of all who call out to Me from the depths of despair, no matter how far or how low they may have fallen. To whom is forgiven little, they love little. But to whom much is forgiven, they love much.
Behold, I hold My hand out unto you, My lost and wandering sheep, whom the world considers “trash” and “worthless”. I say, Come to Me that I may heal the wounds and hurts of your soul, deeply buried. I am the Healer of your being; the only One who understands your deep needs. I can repair that which concerns you. Thus come to Me.
Be not afraid that I will not accept you. I judge not as man judges, but look upon the heart. And the heart desirous of Me I hear. So behold, come and ease thy fears. For I shall be unto thee strength and stability; though the world condemns thee, I do not.
Believe Me when I say, I Love you, My Creature, and only I can help to put your shattered life back together again. Only I can return structure to your life. Only I can bring peace to your troubled mind. The things you do I can fix if you will submit your heart to Me. I am the Great Physician; therefore, come to Me ye sick of heart. Fear Not. Were I as they have taught you in the houses of Christendom’s teachings, ye would have somewhat to fear. But know that, that “God” that they teach is like unto their own mind and reasoning, and is judgmental and condemning. But they have not known Me.
I take those that are low and seek to raise them up, but cast down the haughty and prideful. They kick those who are down and demand that they get up and do right, not understanding that it is not in man to correct his way. Christendom says, by man’s works he is saved. I say, it is only by My Grace that any of you are spared. And I long to shed forth My Grace on you this day, and to heal you, My Creature. For I UNDERSTAND YOU. And why you do and have done as you have. There is no condemnation in Me toward your plight, knowing it wouldn’t make you better but only worse.
Therefore know and feel My Love and acceptance of you this day, and let us begin a new chapter in your life, filled with My strength, stability and joy. You are loosed from the chains of addiction. By My own mouth I have declared it. Therefore believe that it is so. Therefore seek to experience your freedom and run not away from My hand. My Conscience shall lead you unto My Feet, wherein ye shall learn to walk with Me in peace. Ye have not chosen Me. I have chosen thee, and desire to bring you unto Myself to learn. Wherein ye have chosen things unholy, know that “Self” was and is ruling your inner kingdom, and wants very much to continue to do so. I ask you to seek to let Me rule, thus the unholiness and uncleanness will cease to be chosen.
Come to Me, My Creature; as Mine arms are outstretched to receive you. For you I also died, to the forgiving of all thy sins. Behold, I am Jesus, evermore your Friend and Protector, if ye will walk with Me. I offer you peace and freedom from the chains ye have known. Come unto Me. Only I can help.

Why abide ye in darkness when My Light is everlasting? If ye are beholding darkness and rotten fruit, then know ye have not found Me there. Behold, ye came to Me alone for your salvation. Did I disappoint thee? Do ye believe I am inept when it comes to your learning? No, but all must see it for themselves. There is no life for the soul in Christendom, but rules and regulations. Only in Me can Life and Light be found. You wish to run to the Source of Light that hears Me clearly. I say, again ye run to man to find Me. I say it is not necessary for you to run to any but to Me alone. Behold, I am the Voice of your conscience; ye know well when I speak. So ye have what you need if ye but apply yourself in diligence to seeking Me yourself, on your own.
I bring forth messages through the willing pens of some of My obedient ones. I bring forth a newsletter full of messages to lead and guide My people who know not how to find Me. Study these, but understand, these be not the wisdom of man, nor are you to seek to them [that wrote them], but to seek Me alone, for only I can help you. Encouragement shall come by Me alone. Study to show thyself approved unto thy God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. Know the way to proceed is to place thy hand in Mine day by day as a little child, and listen for what I would speak to you. Desire My way over the ways of men and all their teachings, for I will certainly teach thee as ye rely upon Me.
Behold, I am thy Creator. I continue to be capable to create of thee a shining and polished vessel. But first I must remove thee from the rock pile I have found thee in. Worthy art thou if ye shall allow My refining. By thy heart’s desire I shall judge it. By thy desire I am allowed to do My work or I am categorically rejected, and then ye would return to find all the light ye thought ye had turned to darkness.
Abide in My Light and it will become brighter to you. Allow that Light to come in and get brighter and brighter till thou art illumined with My brightness. Light equals understanding. Selah.

The desire of the faithful is to see Me as I am. I say, look within and see wherein I am in thee in peace, in quietness, in patience, and in holy desire. For behold I am there. Wherein I am ruling your kingdom in peace, there is no squabbling over authority; no vying for supremacy with you. But all is at peace and rest, ye having stopped wrestling with Me. For behold, your “self” wants what it wants and tries the boundaries of My permission in desires to wander. But as an obedient child these need to be put to death on Mine altar, burned up, this resistance in thee. For thy good I tell thee these things, that ye will cease to fight Me over decisions, for the hour is very late and ye would resent My being lenient on you and letting you play around unwarned, only to find yourself unprepared at the time of My Coming.
To the extent of peace within you and inner quietness you can see how much I rule in you. If much inner strife is evident then know the self life is striving against My leadership. Allow whom you will to lead you, for your will truly is sovereign; but I would have you to relinquish control to Me, that I might bring you unto My peace and rest. Saith the Holy One. I would that the striving and confusion cease within you. I would that ye would be all Mine; totally submitted to My will and purpose. And not Mine sometimes and your own sometimes. Behold, dual motivation comes of a Judas spirit and nature that will turn on Me and betray Me in a time of crisis. Let all your will be submitted unto My will and I will lead you safely.
Other kings thy heart has known were not so giving, but were tyrants and kept you locked up in chains by force. But as I am the Most High, I change not. I shall not share the throne of your heart with any other. If ye decide ye would that another reign there, even once in awhile, I will relinquish it unto their domination or to your domination, for I rule by permission only in all of you. Thus know thy kingdoms become My kingdoms only by a willing possession, and I shall wrap no chains about thy neck. Only be serious about your decision for there is no time left to play. Saith thy Redeemer.

Once upon a time there was a righteous and wise king whose heart was pure before his God, and the Lord’s hand of blessing was upon him so much so that He gave unto him the stewardship of a new and blessed territory. To the king was given the commission to occupy and to reap all that it contained for his people. As the king sought unto the Lord seeking His guidance, he was impressed by the Spirit to send four of his most faithful servants to survey and explore the new land and to report their findings unto the king and unto the people.
As the king searched the land throughout his kingdom to find four worthy of such commissioning, he was led to choose one who saw by the Spirit of the Lord, one who heard by the Spirit, one who spoke by the Spirit and one who walked in the Spirit. For the wise king knew that in them would be no competition, nor any conflict, and each would present a divergent perspective that would congruently fit into a complete report.
As the four went forth, each one did according to his particular talent; one watched, one listened, one wrote and the other walked, according to what the Spirit of the Lord led them to learn and great was the reward of their efforts in behalf of the king and his people. At their return all in the kingdom came to understand all that was contained in the new territory. The King said unto the four at the end of their report, “Since thou were faithful in thy task and ye have done a great service unto Me and for our people, forever shall ye be remembered in My kingdom and our people should learn of thy selfless service so that others might seek to follow likewise.”
Christ is the wise King who chooses us according to His wisdom and places us where we can be most effective in His service. If we employ the talent given us, together with the talents of His other chosen in unity, then we shall be found of a good report and our works shall endure eternally to the positive advancement of His Kingdom unto ourselves and all others around us.
As it has been said before; “Let not the left hand know what the right hand is doing: until they come together in unison and clap together unto the glory of God. One is not above or below another, but all, if faithful unto that which they have been given, make the body complete. For in the body there are those who see, those who hear, those who speak and those who walk; all according to the same Spirit, thus is the body unified and all the watchmen are of the same mind. Our Head hears the report of all with equal attention and considers not one to be of more value than another in the final report. Selah!

O come, all ye holy, chosen unto My good work of the Kingdom, and sit ye at My Feet. My lessons will be eternal and to thy benefit; good food unto thy souls. For dry and barren are the teachings of Christendom, thus be ye refreshed and encouraged by the words of My mouth evermore.
Seek not the praises of man or men. Care not if they receive your person. For My words ye are called to speak without regard to any, high or low, and it then be their responsibility unto Me how those things are received by them. My prophets were always a rough lot, unlearned and unlicensed or degreed; sent from their field of labor unto the haughty of the churches. They did not receive them or their words because they were not of fine learning or dress, but in their hearts burned the fire of My Love, My Spirit of Holiness, My compassion and mercy, yet the firmness of My words.
Beloveds, I call thee not because of thy fineness of learning, neither by thy immaculate dress, but because of thy humble submittedness to Me. And know that the world shall never accept you because of these things, yet are ye Mine and most holy unto Me because that your inner temple has been dedicated unto My habitation; thy mind and heart committed unto ONENESS with My Spirit, and thy mouth sanctified unto My use. Such as you, and ONLY such as you, can I use to reveal My eternal purpose and plan, because ye care not so much for what the world desires and runs after; but because ye have sought to learn THE TRUTH at My mouth, and sought not to corrupt it by thine own imaginings of what should be, nor sought a seat of greatness before men, but one of lowliness of mind and humility of heart; yea, even at My Feet. Wherefore I have chosen thee as first-fruits among all the companies of the earth to bring forth My messages of Truth and Light; to rescue them that sit in darkness under the teachers of darkness, and who are held captives under their spell. Behold I give unto thee power to accomplish My work of redeeming souls out of that darkness and captivity, to lead them safely unto My Feet.
Thus are ye My holy heavenly ambassadors of truth, and unto them doth My Light of Truth shine brightly through thee, lighting the way of the path they should travel to get to Me, their God of Truth, evermore. O behold the happiness of My heart for that ye have submitted yourselves unto My work, and not followed your own minds of how things should work. And your prayers unto Me are most precious. Thus is My hand of blessing upon your work that ye do as led by My Holy Spirit and with thee I am well pleased.
“Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord of Hosts” without licenses or degrees or any outward authority from man or his colleges. Ye are taught and led by Me, the Eternal. And though men recognize not Mine authority as greater than their own, they shall in due time and season. For the keeping of holy days and feasting days shall be abolished by Me and all the kingdoms of men shall fall. And that which is not rooted and grounded in Me shall shortly pass away and be as if it never was. The remembrance of it cut off from the minds of men, as their kingdoms are exposed in the revealing of the greater Light that I bring them through you, and yes, the deliverance of My Creation from the darkness of man’s dominion over them; yea, the age of reason.
And so, for some of you I say, be heartened, be enlightened by the joy of these My words. If ye are being led by Me and work only at My command or leading, though your work be considered small, yet rejoice and know that I pile not on you more than ye can at present do, and that My strength shall accompany you to carry out My wishes here in the earth kingdom, and that ye are not fit to be judges of the extent of the work you are called to do, for ye cannot as yet view it’s parameters nor know it’s ripples as it moves out into eternity. Thus be glad for the place you have been given, well suited are ye to the task unto which ye are called. And know that My Holy Spirit doth follow behind you with signs ye know not of. Be not caught up with these signs, nor even focus upon them lest ye be lifted up in the pride of your hearts unto thinking ye are somewhat. Signs following are MY business and unto MY glory. And ye, My mirrors of Myself in the earth, are to reflect My glory, not to absorb it unto thyself.
Thus commit all thy works unto the founding and establishing of My people yet bound in Christendom’s laws unto Me, and Mine everlasting Kingdom in the earth. And have no other particular goal in mind, or even a ministry of your own. For behold, names mean nothing. By My Spirit shall ye be sent as the wind, no man knowing whence ye came nor whither ye went from them. Thus titles of ministries mean so little and indeed become an hindrance as your enemies will then have a focal point upon which they can pinpoint you with their blasphemy and mightily trouble thy peace.
I could have “set up shop” in one location and had all interested coming unto Me and Me going nowhere but ever being at rest in Mine own house. How long would you think I would have survived? My ministering thrived only in the fact that I was unknown and unsettled, moving to and fro continuously, seeking My Father’s lost sheep in every place. Thus Mine enemies knew not where to find Me, nor even how to contact Me, thus they could not hound Me nor sabotage My work. I made no prior arrangements in every town I sought to enter but came totally unannounced. I spoke to all who were there, avoiding none. Some were there to torment Me in every place. And where there was much fighting and unbelief I could do little or nothing for them. Wherein I sought to confront the leaders of the religions of that day, it was only by the leading of the Spirit of My Father, who constantly guided Me along the way. I was in no hurry to confront them on My own.
It was the will of My disciples that I reveal Myself and take My rightful place over the leaders. Also the zealots of the people desired to foreceably make Me King. But it wasn’t time for that yet. I was among you to serve and to be that Light, pointing the way unto Truth, and establishing pardon and thus a way to be reconciled unto My Father, for all men who would receive it. And to show all of thee a pattern of Love and equality and brotherhood. To show you by Mine own life and example the way to view and to petition Our Father, thy Creator. And I had no time for glory seeking, though it be rightfully Mine, but taught patiently, being secure in My place as a Son before My Father, knowing that in life and in death what I was and am to Him changed not, no matter the blasphemy or calumny spread about Me by the blindness and evilness of men. Thus I pleased My Father in that I did not puff Myself up among you, but remained a servant for your sakes for an example of lowliness before My Father. But I backed not down from My belief for no man, nor did I shy away from confrontation with them who disagreed to save My life, but knew My place of grace and had pity on them who were blind. So though I could have killed or at least silenced them who opposed Me to the further oppressing of many, yet I worked in the midst of their opposition and their blind rage and blasphemy, giving all the ability to make up their own minds, knowing their wills were sovereign.
And thus must ye also do with all your brothers and sisters. Stand not in the way of any man’s choice, and seek not to convince them beyond their will (for indeed they will be of the same opinion still) but let every man decide, without pressure from you, the way which he will take; and look unto Me for support in that ye do, for “numbers” will depress you and cause you to falter in your step. Ye look to see great numbers coming willingly into My Light of Truth. But remember My words that few would even find My strait and narrow way, and that there was a question as to whether I’d find ANY faith at My return. That work ye do, do unto the praise, honor and glory of thy Creator, letting the abundance or numbers of believers who agree be HIS business. For ye can by no means control it or lord over it, for it is spread all over your world; thus ye cannot see it nor know it anyway. Just rule well your own spirit and seek to judge nothing before the time I return. Then ye will see clearly when thy sight be blended with Mine, and ye then will have some idea of the scope of your part of the work.
Just know the harvest is white, and lying thick in the ground, with few to gather it in My strength and wisdom. Scattered are the wheat amongst the tares, and only I know who the true wheat is. Ye will not know except ye be keenly exercised in spirit perception, for they all look the same and most speak the same. Thus know no one after the flesh, nor even after outward work or even vice; for ye know not the spirit and heart of that one, nor their desire after Me. Judge ye therefore only by spirit knowledge and glory not in the “holy-acting” flesh of any man. By their fruit ye shall know them, though their outward works be not yet perfect in thine eyes.
Even so, My angels are amongst men as “bums” and “hobos” to see how ye will react to them and to their outward appearance. Turn ye not away the dirty, smelly stranger but seek to hear his words and to sense the spirit by which he comes. By this judge, and by this only. Thus ye judge correctly.
Little Children, Love one another and be patient and kindly affectioned towards one another; even as I gave unto thee Myself for an example. In this all shall know ye are My true disciples if ye display My Love to one another and respect unto all men concerning their choice. Let your future remain in My hands and your travels and ministering requirements. Ye know not what I bring. Selah.

Prior lessons have dealt with inward and outward addictions. My Children, I, thy Redeemer, say unto you that inward or outward, all addictions are the same unto Me and I must treat them the same. In My view, condemnation is unto the church as crack cocaine is unto the ghetto. For both are on the road to self-destruction.
Those who condemn others see themselves as “better” than others. Yea, they think themselves to be somewhat; as having obtained, but I say unto you that unless you have found the completedness of My perfection in My fullness, ye have obtained nothing. Self-righteousness is the evil root from which condemnation blossoms and it’s end is the destruction of all it encounters or occupies… It is the poisonness of pride and only I can resurrect you from the death it brings unto thy and My spirit. For as long as you are blinded by the failings of others you will never overcome or even see your own failings, and will ever fall short of what I AM. It shall be a millstone around your neck and will cause you to drown when the storms of life come against you.
As I have told you before, “only imperfection is bothered by that which is imperfect.” That which is flawed is continually searching for the cracks or failings of others and will never accept that all are full of weaknesses. Only I, Jesus, was without the blemishes of humanity and was not overcome by them. Only by submitting t
