THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
MARCH 19th
DARKNESS...SHALL BE CONSUMED BY A GLORIOUS LIGHT AND FIRE FROM ON HIGH
Acts 17:28 K.J.V.
In this last and
greatest outpouring of God's power - through His glorious Church - the
traditions and doctrines of men and the darkness of the "spirit of the
world", [which has, up until this time, run rampant through the midst of
God's children] shall be consumed by a glorious light and fire from on high
[through a holy remnant]. From these things, one can see the great importance
of being prepared to receive God's true delegated authorities in this most
critical hour. For without their entrance into the midst of the congregations of
God's people, and the adherence to the Word of God [absolute truth] that they
deliver - as His messengers - there shall be no escape from the bondage and
captivity that has SURELY beset ALL those who have rebelled in their heart
against their God. A truly apostolic Church such as the Father is raising up in
this final hour views ALL things through His eyes, and does all things in terms
of His greatest eternal benefit [in any given situation] through an absolute
faith - without any regard whatsoever for the lies of the Enemy. It is for this
reason that we must diligently set ourselves in fellowship with the Father and
His Word [on a daily basis] in order that we might be saturated through and
through with His presence - until all that goes forth from us in word and
thought and deed, is of God - AND OF GOD ALONE! For are we not those who are
called to live and move and have our being in Christ - and, if so, why have we
been so ignorant of this "absolute standard" that the Father has
clearly set forth in His Word [John 15:1-11]?
IN
THIS LAST HOUR ANYONE WHOSE DEEPEST HEART-DESIRE IS NOT TO BE FOUND WALKING IN,
AND OBTAINING, ALL OF THE WILL OF GOD, SHALL SURELY BE FOUND FIGHTING AGAINST
THOSE WHO ARE - WITHOUT EXCEPTION!
In many areas of the
church the Cross of Christ has become little more than a decorative figure to
adorn a shallow and powerless religion. There are many who crave the
miracle-working power of God in the midst of His people [and on out into the
"world"] but without a deep humbling and self-denial in order to
exalt God and His Word as the supreme authority in their life, the child of God
will not see the power of God - nor will they be found walking in a
"perfect" obedience. Quite simply [and for the most part], the church
at large has become a cheap imitation of the Father's deepest purpose - an
"organization" that has been formed and structured by the power of
man. But the good news is for those who are truly seeking the will of God and
the establishment of His Kingdom: every work of the "flesh" -
regardless of how insignificant it may seem - shall be both judged and consumed
and exposed for what it is: an act of rebellion against God [1 Corinthians
3:10-15]! There are some who would think these words "harsh", but
in this last hour anyone whose deepest heart-desire is not to be found walking
in, and appropriating, ALL of the Will of God, shall surely be found fighting
against those who are - WITHOUT EXCEPTION! Let us be found amongst those whose
heart is "wholly" given to God - for we do not want to be found
hindering in ANY way the advent of the Glorious Church - a Church that will
truly be found setting the captives free.
