Par 4 of: Something to make you go hmm!!!!

It is always a blessing unto us of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries to come unto you daily. By us coming unto you, we come not wasting precious time, we come sowing the seed of the Word of God; for God’s Word Himself says from the 10th verse of the 55th chapter of the scroll of Isaiah: for as the showers descend, and the whiteness from heaven, and returneth not thither, but satiate the common sort, and maketh the wilderness bring forth and sprout, that it may give fruit to the conceiver, and meat to the consumer. The 11th verse of the same 55th chapter of the scroll of Isaiah continues from the Amplified Bible in these words: so shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: My Word shall not return to Me void [without producing and effect, nor useless,] but My Word shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and My Word shall prosper in the mission for which I sent it. In turning our focus unto the 10th verse of the 9th chapter of the Second scroll of Corinthians: that’s where Paul the apostle of Yhowshua the Christ makes this bold, but true statement: now God who provides seed/His Word for the sower/minister and bread for food, He will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love]. Even as the 13th verse of the 9th chapter of the scroll of Amos records from the Message Bible: “yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” GOD’S Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once-and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. This same 13th verse of the 9th chapter of the scroll of Amos reads this way from the Amplified Bible: behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes, him who sows the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt [that is, everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessing]. Here’s a warning though; coming from the 18th verse of the 10th chapter of the scroll of Ecclesiastes: which speaks unto us in Christ with these words: By much slothfulness [which is habitual idleness] the [frame of the] building begins to decay; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks through. Nevertheless, many claim, that God has called them, but they are doing their own idle things concerning the will and purpose in which God has purposed for their lives; even as they themselves purchase things for a precise purpose; yet they, overlooking that we were bought [which means redeemed and ransomed by the blood of the Lamb] and we are God’s personal possession, in which allows God to use us any way He desires. This is why He says in verses 17-18 of the 9th chapter of the scroll of Romans: For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth [in case you missed it, God said, Pharaoh, I own you, boy, yes I own you!!!] Therefore, hath God mercy on whom He chooses to have compassion on, and whom God chooses He renders stubborn and indurate. For saints fail to realize; the Creator of the heavens and the earth said this from the 7th verse of the 45th chapter of the scroll of Isaiah, which goes a little like this: I, the LORD God purposed illumination/light, and selected ignorance and wickedness called darkness: God continues by saying, I the LORD God furnished prosperity/shalown, and selected physical hurt and mischief: He ends His statement by signing it like this, I the LORD do all these things. Nevertheless, the King James Bible from the 7th verse of the same 45th chapter of the scroll of Isaiah says it this way: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. This means people of God must do things God’s way for them to prosper Godly. Today being the 2018th year, even as it was in old times, people in the household of God are doing their own things; yet they are asking God to bless them; as is seen in verses 22-23 of the 7th chapter of the scroll of Matthew in the words: many will say to me in that day [of judgement], Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? Then will I/the anointed Word of God profess unto them [as long as you have been in the house of God, with the moneychangers, for they think, as is spoken in the 19th verse of the 10th chapter of the scroll of Ecclesiastes: that money answereth all things] but the Lord, being the risen Word of God will say, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity [even as Cain did]. Here’s the greatest dilemma in those type of people, they expect their calling from God to start out on the top and that everything will move outwardly the way they expect it to prosper before the world’s eyes; ignorantly, they overlooking the small beginnings of not being invited to the anointing into a high position, in which David was not invited; this they seriously despise. But us who persevere through all rejections and reproach, we are energized by the Word of God which rings in our hearts daily, saying: though thou beginning was small, yet thou latter end should greatly increase. This last saying of ours is what Elisha also held onto, as is seen in him being in training which looked nothing like what God had created him to be, which seemed as he was not fulfilling his purpose. As Elisha’s teacher draws near unto him, as is seen in the 19th verse of the 19th chapter of the First scroll of Kings in these words: so, Elijah being Elisha’s spiritual trainer, he departed from his hiding, felt safe cave of Adullam, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing [or concealing seeds] with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. This number twelve; its meaning is: Governmental Perfection [regardless how it seemed. Here’s the strange thing; Elisha being alone in governmental perfection training; his picture from behind those twelve yokes of oxen was not a pretty one, seeing that this is supposed to be training for heavenly kingdom work. For example; the man of God Elisha being called, in his governmental perfection training, he saw oxen tails wagging, while the twelve oxen were dropping dung from their rectum, and if that was not bad enough; the flies were swarming from the oxen onto Elisha’s face and body as he continued to plow. You think that was bad, listen to this, the grounds in which Elisha was plowing, it was so hard and difficult that it took twelve oxen and himself to break through the ground [to conceal the seed] and this was all a part of his governmental perfection training and he did not know it. That’s when Elijah passed by Elisha working, and cast his mantle upon Elisha, because Elisha was faithful in little, now he was about to become in charge of many; Selah!!! Elisha being a little confused on what just happened, he left the oxen [which were his team in which he physically, faithfully plowed with], and ran after [the God of YAHWEH] which was the meaning of Elijah’s name, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother [which was a sign of forsaking them for the work of the kingdom], and then I, Elisha will follow [the God of YAHWEH]. And Elijah said unto the supplication in which Elisha just made, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? And Elisha returned back from Elijah, and [disassembled his plowing team] which was a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen [which signified that way was closed to him and don’t try to resurrect it], and Elisha gave [that way of doing things] unto the people, and they did consume it. Then Elisha arose [from that level], and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. In Elisha being so persistent in breaking through that hard ground and facing the backsides of the twelve oxen; it helped him to stay persistent and in following Elijah when he was given chance after chance to quit; as can be read in the 2nd verse of the 2nd chapter of the Second scroll of Kings in these words: Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha [remembering the endurance with the oxen and the hard grounds, he said unto Elijah, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So, they went down to Beth-el. At another time, which is seen in the 4th verse of the same 2nd chapter of the Second scroll of Kings the process of trying to see if Elisha will quit in difficult time came around again; but Elisha said: As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. By this happening three times, it kind of make us think of Peter, because the Lord has to say things to Peter thrice. In the 6th verse of this same 2nd chapter of the Second scroll of Kings Elijah tried Elisha’s dedication unto the LORD God again: in remembering the twelve oxen and the hard ground; Elisha said: As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. Notwithstanding, in all three of these testings of Elisha’s dedication unto the Lord; there were sons of the prophets taunting him, which was causing more grief; and Elisha stilled/hushed them, even as Caleb did in the 30th verse of the 13th chapter of the scroll of Numbers. Yet, they were hard tasks, but Elisha was use to plowing through rough hard grounds to receive the double fruit of Elijah’s ministry. Please keep in mind that the Lord said from the 62nd verse of the 9th chapter of the scroll of Luke: No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God {and Elijah had become Elisha’ new plow; Selah]. Through Elisha’s endurance, he received double for his troubles; what are you going to receive, or are you going to quit the first, the second or the third chance you get. Or, are you going to allow the sons of the prophets to taunt and reproach you into so much grief, in which you might convince yourself that this is too hard. Here is where we will pause for the moment, 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!!!!
