​MATTHEW 26:56

BUT ALL THIS WAS DONE, THAT THE SCRIPTURES OF THE PROPHETS MIGHT BE FULFILLED. THEN ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM AND FLED.
AND THEY THAT HAD LAID HOLD ON JESUS LED HIM AWAY TO CAIAPHAS THE HIGH PRIEST, WHERE THE SCRIBES AND THE ELDERS WERE ASSEMBLED.
BUT PETER FOLLOWED HIM AFAR OFF UNTO THE HIGH PRIEST’S PALACE. AND WENT IN, AND SAT WITH THE SERVANTS, TO SEE THE END.

It is needful to take a look at the life of Peter for a moment. The Apostle Peter was a business man. When the Lord introduced Himself Peter was providing to take care of his family. Peter was said to have had a temper, but really it could be considered a protective spirit. He war passionate and he desired “the more” of the spirit of the living God. Because of his desire for the spirit of God, he was often found in vulnerable positions for the sake of walking by faith. He took chances. He took risks. He denied himself to see the miracles of God. However, because he was willing to seek after the spirit of God, he was the one disciple who seemed to have the most shortcomings. Peter often said some crazy things, like, let us build three tabernacles…one for the Lord, Moses, and one for Elijah. He said things like, “lord, who loves you the most? Then seeing Jesus walking on water, asked, bid me to come Lord, and minutes later found himself sinking while having a heart of faith toward God and a zeal. He told the Lord Jesus he would die for him while within only hours was found to have denied him, not once or twice, but three times. The same disciple was chosen by God to work signs, miracles, and wonders. He was chosen to “feed the sheep”…He desired to do the Lord’s will and purpose. He had a heart after God. Though Peter found himself in a fearful position, after all the other disciples had forsaken the Lord, it was Peter who even in the midst of fear and uncertainty stayed with the servants to see things through to the end. It is written that the just shall live by faith. When you’re rooted and grounded in the love of God and you’re confronted with your own wretchedness and vulnerabilities it is the getting to the heart of God that keeps you seeking him…loving him…praising him…worshipping him…waiting for him. However, there is no comprehension of the matter until you know the love of God and the power of that love. That love reached into the future and laid down his life and had the power to pick it up again…just because he looked past my faults and saw the need for his mercy, longsuffering, grace, forgiveness, favor, and comfort and all of Him. So if I could persuade of you of just one thing it would be to love the lord thy God with all thine heart and see things through to the end. Those who endure to the end shall be saved.
Romans 10:1
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.  

 Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

It is needful to bring this scripture to remembrance because this is the “confidence in warfare” book. Paul writes this letter to encourage his fellow soldiers ion the battlefield to be not weary in well doing because we shall reap if we faint not. Abide in the Lord and He will abide in you. Trust in the Lord always and be confident that He who began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Rejoice in that confidence because we have hope in the expectation of the Most High. No matter the circumstance and no matter the situation the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. We are dying daily so that it is not longer us, but Christ who lives within us. Watch and pray for the Lord indeed hears our prayers and is faithful to provide for His and to and to perform His will. Regardless of the test and trial have confidence in your Savior who is risen for you to partake in His grace. Remember your testimony of love when you're going through. Remember the righteous things and the purified love of Christ. Remember the reasons why have praised the Lord.

I thank God for giving us the invitation to come boldly to His throne of grace. I thank God for hearing the prayers of the righteous on my behalf when I wasn't strong or faithful enough to pray on my own. I thank God for the Spirit that makes intercession to give us the proper words to pray knowing the flesh cannot please God. I thank God for teaching me the righteous way to seek so that He would hear me when I call and that my words would not fall to the ground. Therefore I praise Him for His faithfulness to look past my faults and my wretchedness to meet my need for His loving kindness and His tender mercies. Some righteous prayed for me and the Lord honored their prayer. He shielded me to get me to a place of repentance. He poured His Holy Spirit and kept drawing me to seek of Him through His Holy Word. There I understood the mercy, love, and joy that was overwhelming that the shy pastor had to step aside and allow the Spirit of God to reign completely. The purified love of Jesus redeemed my life. Therein is a praise report to bear record of the bowels of mercy and the love that will continue to abound as long as you allow. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of the Lord.

YOU KNOW A LOT OF WORD. HA HA HA YOU KNOW A LOT OF WORD. LAUGH PASTOR YOU KNOW A LOT OF WORD. I LOVE YOU BOTH. DO MY WILL DO MY PURPOSE.

​SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHISPER…MAKING MERCHANDISE OF YOU

II PETER 2:1-3

BUT THERE WERE FALSE PROPHETS ALSO AMONG THE PEOPLE, EVEN AS THERE SHALL  BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERESIES, EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM, AND BRING UP THEMSELVES SWIFT DESTRUCTION.
AND MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS; BY REASONS OF WHOM THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.
AND THROUGH COVETOUSNESS SHALL THEY WITH FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: WHOSE JUDGMENT NOW OF A LONG TIME LINGERETH NOT, AND THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERETH NOT.

Through covetous practices many of the Lord’s chosen were slaughtered and continue to be slaughtered is what the Holy Prophets have spoken. The attempts from the adversary are to get the Lord’s chosen and anointed ones to forsake the holy covenant and lose their inheritance with God. The Bible states that perilous times will come and many will fall by way of seducing spirits and give heed to doctrines of devils. Oftentimes we read these scriptures and put them to the side as if they don’t apply to us. However, be reminded to take care those who think they stand lest they fall. The righteous will scarcely make it and if we take note of the scripture it says that these people are among us as brethren and what they do, they do in private bringing in damnation and swift destruction. Remember the Lord warned to be not deceived. We cannot look on the outer appearance. These people are loved ones…people who started in ministry with us. The enemy doesn’t come through the front or side door but attempts to get to us through those we love and what we love. Sometimes desires can become covetous because they are inappropriate or because the way we attempt to acquire something is wrong. For example, it is acceptable to want a vehicle or reliable transportation but if you want a vehicle that is beyond your means merely to “one-up” another of the brethren then the intent is improper. The enemy plays on these desires that many of us have and with falsehood and deceit will attempt to make merchandise of you.
What does it mean to make merchandise? Think of it as a child would because no one can enter the kingdom except he or she come as a child. Something that wasn’t for sale has been placed for sale and put on display. The Lord Jesus Christ has come and he descended into the lower parts then rose with all power to sit on the right hand of God. He led captivity captive and gave gifts unto all men. Do not allow the adversary to come into the midst of your situations and circumstances, make merchandise of you in an attempt to kick you while you are down…while you’re attempting to do the Lord’s will and purpose and seek Him for instruction. Don’t allow the adversary to tell you that you don’t need to wait for an answer from the Lord. David was chosen and anointed as King, but even he still had to answer to someone and he chose to make the Lord his refuge. He always inquired of the Lord regardless of the circumstance. The Lord has angels that he has given charge over us but sometimes the Lord wants us to activate our most Holy faith. Pray. Praise. Wait on an answer. Do not take down or give in to intimidation/fear. Know the Lord your God is a present help in times of trouble. There is power in waiting. Your healing gift does not have to be put on display. You prophetic gifting doesn’t have to be put on display. None of your gifts/talents have to be put on display while the adversaries attempt to mock and weary the tru saints even those who have a true hearts desire to do the Lord’s  will without waver and compromise. Pick up your weapons and fight even until the very end.  

 1 COR 2:9-10
BUT IT IS WRITTEN, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOT EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.
BUT GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT. FOR THE SPIRIT SEARCHESTH ALL THINGS, YEA THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD.

Just one word from the true and living God can change the perspective of one truly seeking the face of God. When you have truly surrendered to the will and purpose of Christ...when you seek Him through praise…when you seek Him through worship...sometimes there are simply moments and appointed times that the Lord has sanctified for His chosen that are the apple of His eye and He reveals his own heart in a way that no apostle can, no teacher can, no prophet can. There are moments when those who love the lord do actually capture the heart of God. Faith moves God...praise moves God...worship moves the Lord and His Spirit, the Holy Spirit searches all things...the very deep things of God and He pours what eye hath yet to see, or ear hath yet to ear and heart hath yet to receive to His true worshippers...His true believers...those truly after God’s own heart.

When I answered my call into ministry, it wasn’t something that was prophesied to me at an early age or expected of me because I came from a family of ministers. Pastoring and teaching wasn’t a desire of mine in any way. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even have the personality for such a role. I just sought the Lord. The healings...the deliverances...they occurred when I was in the midst of praise and worship. He poured and poured because I chose to love him with my whole heart. Jesus is the same; yesterday, today, and forevermore. He just loves like that.

So to the saints that are frustrated and that are in the midst of persecution and feel like giving up, I say hold fast to his hand. Lean not to your own understanding. The Lord liveth and blessed be the rock! He loves you and is no respecter of persons. Choose to praise him anyhow! Praise him through your circumstance and see it through to the end.

EPH 3:16-19
THAT HE WOULD GRANT YOU, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY, TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT BY HIS SPIRIT IN THE INNER MAN;
THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH; THAT YE BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE;
MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS WHAT IS THE BREADTH, AND LENGTH, AND DEPTH, AND HEIGHT;
AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL FULLNESS OF GOD.

 HOW MANY SMART PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW? ASKED THE LORD THROUGH HIS HOLY PROPHET. HOW MANY SMART PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW? THEY HAVE CRAFTED THEIR “WITTY” INVENTIONS...INVENTIONS CAUSING CRAFT TO PROSPER. THEY HAVE THEIR “SMART” PHONES AND THEIR “SMART” WATCHES AND THEIR “SMART” CARS...THESE INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS. THEY ARE JUST SO SMART. THEY PUFF UP THEMSELVES WITH THEIR SMART THINGS BUT THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO CALL UPON ME SAITH THE LORD. THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO CAST THEIR CARES UPON ME SAITH THE LORD. THE THINGS THAT THEY DO ARE TEMPORARY WHILE CONTINUING TO ELIMINATE ME FROM THE DAILY WALK THAT THEY GO THROUGH. THEY ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT I WILL DESTROY THE DIVIDED HOUSE. THESE SMART ONES, THEY COVER THEMSELVES WITH THEIR LIFESTYLE AND THEY HEEP UP THEIR TEACHERS AND THEIR REFORMERS. THE BOMBS WILL CONTINUE TO DROP AND DROP AND THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO TAKE COVER AND SEEK DEEP TO HIDE THEIR COUNCIL AND WILL DESTROY THEM. I WILL DESTROY THEM.

 Jesus is the God of restoration. He desires that his children trust him and do things his way. As we have been led to study the book of Jeremiah because he warned of captivity to the children who refused to obey the commandments of the Lord and to heed the warning to surrender completely. Zedekiah still came to Jeremiah secretly and asked if he would inquire of the lord. The Lord while showing mercy pleaded with the children that they trust in Him and not go to the Egyptians. Yet, the refused the counsel of the prophet.
Isaiah 10:1
Woe to them that decree unrighteous decrees and that write grievousness which they have prescribed. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from afar? To whom will ye flee for help? Where will ye leave your glory?
There is no decree or proclamation that the Lord Jesus Christ is not aware of. He said woe unto them who seek deep to hide their counsel and wor to them who decree decrees of unrighteousness. He said be ye holy for I am holy. We cannot stop righteous judgment from coming forth meaning that we as the Lord’s chosen have often failed to carry out righteous judgment of behalf of the poor and the needy. This is our reasonable service unto God. How have the widows become prey? To utilize them in such a way to gain an advantage instead of assisting them in service unto God. They attempt to rob the fatherless as if they have no one to account for them. Yet, Jesus Christ has eyes everywhere beholding the good as well as the evil. We cannot make unrighteous decrees and proclamations fo the sake of covetousness, lies, deceit, and monetary gain.
The Lord’s wrath and indignation is kindling towards his chosen people who continue to operate on their own will and their own authority. While attempting with their actions to eliminate the spirit of God...they build up their own selves and make ungodly alliances, and doing their ungodly acts that they do, as if they can manipulate and control the spirit of the true and living God.
The lord god pleaded with the King Zedekiah concerning the remnant of Isreal and Judah to surrender than they would have their lives for a prey. Privately they inquired and the Lord pleaded and pleaded. Why inquire if your intent is to do your own will anyway? Why inquire if you have no intent to serve the true and living God? He simply said obey His voice.
Jeremiah 42:10-17
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
Be not afraid of the King of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: For I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
And I will show mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
But if ye say, we will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your god,saying, no; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, not have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; if ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from evil that I will bring upon them.

The Lord has delivered us out of Egypt with his stretched out arm and by miracles, signs, and wonders has he done these things to get his children to trust him. The works have been done. When the Lord reminds us of returning to Egypt He is referring to the mind set. Going back to the old man...going back to the old way that we have been delivered from. The comfort zone where we didn’t walk by faith but trusted in our own ability because we were fed and things were convenient. He wants His people to trust that no matter what state you’re in He’s walking through your circumstance with you, whether you are abased or are abounding you have confidence that your saviour is there. If you claim him to be your savior them let Him do the leading and guiding. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
