As we of the leadership team of Grace Message church ministries dive back into the lesson which is entitled: Workout your own salvation, with fear and trembling. In just understanding that one scripture which derives from the 12th verse of the 2nd chapter of a New Testament book, which is entitled Philippians. This book entitled Philippians appears after what has taken place on Calvary; so, please do not miss this; all persons!!!! Yes, we said persons, instead of people; we reiterate, all persons whether delivered by the blood of the Lamb of God, or not; we must all workout our own salvation!!!! Yes, we already understand that working out your own salvation must begin, after the blood of the Lamb of God is applied so don’t go there. But saints/Christians fail to realize; that Yhowshua did not, and could not do everything for us; if He did, there was no need for the Holy Ghost. Get this people, nor did the Lamb of God deliver us from everything; if He did, then Paul wrote Philippians 2:12 in vain. If the Lamb of God delivered us from everything, Paul wouldn’t have exhorted Timothy in the 12th verse of the 6th chapter of the First book of Timothy with these words: Fight/cultivate the good fight/conflicting effort of persuasion, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called. And at the end of Paul’s journey he would not have said from the 7th verse of the 4th chapter of the Second book of Timothy: I have fought/cultivated a good fight/conflicting effort, I have completed and not quit my God appointed course, I have kept the faith. Even YHWH our heavenly Father said in verses 28-30 of the 23rd chapter of the book of Exodus; and Exodus is after the church which was now located in the wilderness, were delivered from Egypt, which is symbolic to the world system. The deliverance which took place in Egypt, it was a symbolic picture of the Lamb of God being offered up by His people to the slaughter, to be sacrificed in the world; as what took place at Calvary to bring them/us out of bondage; ONLY!!!!!! Then the LORD God said; I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out of hiding the Hivite “which symbolically are things and hurts you have walled into your subconscious and refuse to face and defeat them. I the LORD God will drive out into the open the Canaanite “in which are symbolically things you have been trafficking through your mind, and have not overcome them, this is why childhood things still afflict you, when some are triggered by something and I the LORD God will drive out of hiding in you, the Hittite, yes things which bring you terror: and these enemies of hinderance shall appear right before thee “or into your minds while you’re on your God given course, so you can face them, and smite them quickly.” I, the LORD God WILL NOT DRIVE “them out of hiding in you, for you to face” in one year; lest the land “being your body” become uninhabited, and the beast/troops of the field multiply against thee “as is spoken of in verses 43-45 of the 12th chapter of the book of Matthew in these words: when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty/unfinished BKA void; swept, and garnished/trimmed as was the five foolish in the 3rd verse of the 25th chapter of the book of Matthew. Then goeth the unclean spirit, and taketh with himself seven other spirits/troops more evil in principle than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation, being the 2018th year and further in the future; as is predicted in the 3rd verse of the 2nd chapter of the Second book of Thessalonians, called a falling away: then the love of many saints/Christians shall wax cold, that’s according to the 12th verse of the 24th chapter of the book of Matthew. Do not overlook this fact; in the 30th verse of the 23rd chapter of the book of Exodus: the scripture plainly states, that the LORD God will drive them out, little and little I the LORD God will drive them out “of hiding within your subconscious, BKA your fortress of solitude” from before thee “that you might smite them. And this within process will continue” until thou be increased “which is becoming mature in the Word of righteousness; grow and become fruitful” and inherit the land; even as the 80th verse of the 1st chapter of the book of Luke said about John the Baptist in these words: and the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. We are able to see that same process of increase in Yhowshua’ life in the 52nd verse of the 2nd chapter of the book of Luke in these words: and Yhowshua increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Keep in mind, that Yhowshua said out of His own mouth: Amen, amen, I say unto you, I am the DOOR/ENTRANCE of the sheep “yes, He only gets us into the family of God our heavenly Father, and just as He had to work out or through His wanting to quit in the garden called Gethsemane; even facing and conquering all of His temptations; all of His trials, and all of His persecutions; we have to also. So much is this true, about Yhowshua having to conquer all of His issues; that He even said at a moment of wanting to prove Himself unto His disciples in the garden called Gethsemane; when He said think not for a moment, that I am not able to ask my Father, and presently give me more that twelve legions of angels “which is seventy-two thousand warriors” Yhowshua said, but I have to work this out on my own. Once again, we of the leadership team, reiterate, a person delivered by the blood of the Lamb, or not, everyone will have to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling; understanding that Paul wrote that scripture unto believers and not unbelievers. Here’s a clue; before attempting to workout anything; first, their must be a King in you, and that King MUST be the LORD God; if He’s not your King; your king is your own perception, or the influence of the wicked one. So when we read in the 1st verse of the 19th chapter of the book of Judges: that it came to pass “or in the process of time, the people got bored and there was no king in Israel unto them. This often takes place with the people in the household of God of today, being the 2018th year: though they continually sit in among the congregation of God, but He never knew them.” Why, He never knew them???? They refuse to give Him that much authority over them; even as there was no king in Israel, and every man did what was right in their own eyes. Even as when the time that Israel said unto Samuel in the 8th chapter of the 1st book of Samuel, give us a king, when in fact they already had aKking but He was the type of King that other nations and even His own people could only see in His performance. Notwithstanding, Samuel was a symbolic physical picture of their King already though Samuel was a prophet and a judge their request devastated him; insomuch God had to comfort him with these words from the 7th verse of the 8th chapter of the First book of Samuel, they have not rejected you but they have rejected Me as being their King, Selah!!! If the Word of God allowed men of God time to pen that truth of every man doing what was right in their own eyes; these things were written for our admonishing, upon whom the end of the world is come. In our days, men doing what’s right in their own eyes are addressed in verses 26-35 of the 14th chapter of the First book of Corinthians which is after Calvary: how is it then, brethren/church folks? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying “and not to show off, or out of jealousy.” If any man speak in an unknown tongue, LET IT BE BY TWO, OR AT THE MOST BY THREE, and that by course which will not hinder, THE MAIN MESSAGE going forth; and let one interpret the main message. But if there be no interpreter, LET HIM KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCH; AND LET HIM SPEAK TO HIMSELF AND TO GOD ONLY. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may ALL prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are submitted in obedience to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, AS IN ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law “yet in everyone doing what is right in their own eyes; they draw in Deborah, Huldah, and Anna as leaders, when God cannot work against his word; God said; the man shall rule, have dominion, have reign over the woman, regardless of this woman rebellious move in our century is trying to introduce. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in a leadership role in the church, as Eve did. The 1st verse of the 19th chapter of the book of Judges points out, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of a promotion of having double fruit, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah. The title concubine; its meaning from the Strong’s Concordance of the Bible, under the Hebrew number 802 is: wife and woman; Selah!!! from the Webster’s dictionary its meaning is: a woman who cohabits with a man. The title Beth-lehem-judah, its meanings are: house of bread, confession, praise and worship. The Bible clearly acknowledges, that the man was a Levite, and Levites are the chosen tribe in which God had called to be attached unto Him. In turning our focus back to the title concubine; in the 1st verse of the 19th chapter of the book of Judges it clearly states that the concubine was out of Beth-lehem-judah while in fact the Levite was from a total different location which was called Mount Ephraim. And God illustrated that these two should come together just for a lesson for you readers! This word concubine is also speaking concerning Hagar’s existence, which was a woman who cohabited with Abram. For she was given to Abram by Pharaoh, when Sarai was taken into Pharaoh’s house. That’s when Pharaoh in the 16th verse of the 12th chapter of the book of Genesis entreated Abram well, giving Abram maidservants “which are bondwomen, female slaves, BKA maidens: Hagar was numbered among these given to Abram. The Bible teaches from the 3rd verse of the 16th chapter of the book of Genesis, Sarai gave Hagar to Abram to wife “that’s to have relations.” Keep in mind, there was no wedding as we know weddings today; there was no deed signed. Hagar was Abram’s concubine; for if she was Abram’s wife as we understand wife, there was no reason to put her out of Abraham’s household. The only reason that a wife, as we know a wife to be today, can be put out; is the act of fornication that’s according to the 9th verse of the 19th chapter of the book of Matthew; even as Israel could not lay with Bilhah any longer “for she was one of his concubines” but she now being defiled because his son Reuben laid with her as is stated in the 22nd verse of the 35th chapter of the book of Genesis, and that’s called uncovering thy father’s nakedness according to the 8th verse of the 18th chapter of the book of Leviticus. Hagar not performing any such act as Bilhah had, she was put out, which clearly proves that she was not a wife by deed, BKA on paper; but a wife, woman by relations. Please bear with us, because it will come together as we move forward. We stated that we will be dealing with things in your Bibles in which are overlooked, but our focus is in the book of Judges right now, and we’re on the 1st verse of the 19th chapter of that book and we are shining light on those things said by inspired men of God who wrote it. Here’s where we will be pausing, for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!! We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!!
