The Plot.

by

0


There is a plot which has been since the fall of Adam and Eve.  Men have said to themselves, “Let us band together so that we will find solace in one another.  To the righteous this is a worthy plot.  It is good, before the Living God, that His people gather together to lift each other up.  And it is said that iron sharpens iron.  So this is good.

But to the wicked and rebellious this is a plot of undoing.  They gather together to bring each other solace in their sin and rebellion.  As mud mixes with mud they think they bring each other peace.   One thing they miss which will be a horrible time for them.  When God rises from His Throne to judge the world each man will stand alone before Him.  You will look for help from those who stood with you.  But they too will be alone before Him.  All men will give account of even every idle word they have spoken.  What will you do with the guilt you will carrry on that day?

We worship Jesus, The Righteousness of God.  Though there is great peace and hope in Him for those who surrender to His will, there is also great terror for those who ignore His Holy calling.  The words I am given to speak concerning this are often perceived as harsh.  But it is not I who will condemn anyone.  And I do not judge anyone.  The message is from old and will not pass away till He stands to judge.  “Repent or die.  For the Lord will not allow evil to enter eternity in peace”.

I speak these things with boldness.  I answer to He who is Life, as will all men.  I do not seek your friendship if in that friendship you desire to bring me away from Him.  I embrace the Lord of Glory with a fire and passion.  And it is to your advantage to do the same.

Stiff Upper Lip.

Stand down, you ole man, for you mess with our heads.  We were happy till you came along.

In no way will I step one step to the left!  I will sing of my Lord’s Glory and Fame!

Let the world sink to hell and embrace their own way.  Yet I, to His Throne, will ascend.

Eternity’s there and that without a care, I’ll part with you though bitter end.

Have all your sin and revel in shame.  It’s far better to be beaten to death.

Then to face the Lord God with a stiff upper lip.  While He takes our very last breath.

Awakened, At Last!

I wake in the morning by my eyes and my ears.

I wake in the morning to remember my fears.

Sleep was my refuge for my weakness of flesh.

And as wake comes upon me I remember He’s best.

I woke one spring morning to my last breath of death.

By the evening He’d awakened, a new heart in my chest.

In body I sleep, but my soul needs no rest.

He’s bought me with blood; Righteous and best.

He is all!  He is all!  He is all my soul will need!

The Holiness of God now covers me!

Oh Jesus, my Lord, my Savior and Friend,

You’ll cover me wholly till my flesh finds it’s end.

Rise Up! You Serve He Who Has No End!

Though I falter in faith.  Though my sight can no longer see Him.  Though I stumble as to never rise in this world.  I will praise the Name of Jesus!  It is to His Glory that His people rise up.  And the grace He provides will not return to Him void! 

You are His people!  Remember who He is,  The Great and Mighty God of all eternity!  You do not stand before Him as helpless people tossed to and frow by the winds of lies.  Though these lies penetrate to the heart those who deny His Name, we stand by the power of Holy blood poured out on the ground.  If the blood of Able still speaks, how much more will the blood of Jesus speak?  And if men find strength in a “good” man, how much more will we find strength in He who Lives forever?

Strike forth!  You are the people of the Most High God!

By His Grace.

Living Faith.

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it” [Matt. 11:12, NIV].

What is saving faith?  Men chase after all manner of religion.  And though they know better, they hold tight to what is offered by man.  It’s the teachers who speak of limits, not God.  Men will tell you that God no longer speaks to man.  And others riddicule healing by the power of God.  Some would even go so far as to say there is no power of God among men.

But the forceful will seek farther.  They reach a barrier and read of promises which speak of “more”.  They feel the restrictions of the flesh and think to themselves, “This is not all there is”.  These are the men who find the power of Jesus Christ;  that living faith which moves mountains in their way. 

“. . . when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”  (Luke 18: 8)  This passage speaks of “The Faith”.  The living faith based and founded on the promises of the Living God.  There is no weakness in the Living God.  And He desires that there be no weakness in His people. 

Strain against the lies.  Press against your doubt.  Fall into the hurricane which speaks against the Living God.  Grasp what is promised and live in the Living God.

The Assembly Line.

You were given the words of life by the indestructible power of the Most High God.  He Spoke the Word and Life was given to man.  It was by the power of the Spirit of God that you have received this Word.  And you have turned His Holy Power into an assembly line. 

He, by the Living God, gave His testimony of life to man.  And God testified to His words.  He said that no life will remain but through His Glorious name.  But you cause men to become by the power of your machine.  You devise methods.  You create music.  You build a place where man’s ears and eyes are dazzled.  You place fine furniture in a room and gather to conspire against sin.  You write books regarding what is Holy.  And you buy your next chariot on the reward gathered.  “Great is the modern assembly line called the church.

Yet it is He who saves!  It is God’s powerful hand who reaches into a heart to divide sin from righteousness!  And He continues to save apart from your machine.  Thousands approach Him in prayer every day and every night who have not been produced by a chorus of modern praise.  They light the night with the power of the Most High God blazing through the heart He has given them.  He whispers glorious truth to His people and never turns the switch of a finely tuned PA system.  Their knees grow hard as they submit to His Glory, for they do not sit in thousand dollar seats.

He has set the heavens ablaze with the wonder of His hand.  He spoke and men fell on their faces in awe.  It is to God alone that all Glory will be rendered!  His Spirit does not wear expensive suits to proclaim death to the wicked and life to the humble.  There is no stained glass marvel at the Blazing Throne of God Most High.  And no man can purchase the beautiful peace He offers by appearing before the altar of the assembly line.  It is through the Power of God that man is saved.

You ponder the fate of your building in this tough economic time.  You ponder the dwindling numbers of flesh in your chairs.  You marvel at the lack of Biblical knowledge among the machines you produce.  Yet it is God Himself who inspires to Holiness.
