Where are you in the battle???

If you’re able to recollect, there’s a food for thought which is posted on Grace M Church Facebook page dated the 16th day of the 7th month of the 2018th year which has inspiring over it. In that epistle it speaks of the LOVE in which saints ought to operate in; if you haven’t read (but we prefer that people would search it out). In doing so, you would understand that the household of prayer are off in their focus; most people are focused of how well a person teach, prophesied, speak in tongues, and even titles: in seeing those gifts operating in their lives; they overlook if that person has genuine God like Love, the Word of God reveals they are nothing. True love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, doesn’t have a swelled head, doesn’t force itself on others, love isn’t always “me first,” love doesn’t fly off the handle, love doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, love doesn’t revel when others grovel, love takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, love puts up with anything, love trusts God always, love always looks for the best, love never looks back, love keeps going to the end; true love never dies!!!! These qualities are almost impossible to find in the household of God; but they are a most important requirement. In saying that, we all fall short; for when Israel’s first king was established, we see that these qualities were absent sometimes in high positions, while they were sometimes present in the lower ranks. For example, if we of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries ask you to select the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel: we would quickly be informed of this: while the high-ranking king with his six hundred troops were contemplating their next more while relaxing under a pomegranate tree. But Jonathan, being the King’s son, he said unto his armourbearer lets secretly cross over unto the Philistines garrison patrols (that’s without the Philistines knowing we’re coming, and without my father knowing that we’re going; in other words, Jonathan was not letting his righthand know what his left hand was doing; but the work was all on the LORD’s side; Selah. Here’s another must take notice of factor; the priest, being Ahijah was under the pomegranate tree with King Saul; wearing the priestly ephod; and he was the Lord’s priest in Shiloh; nevertheless, he, the King and the other five hundred and ninety-eight men, they were reckless, for how could Jonathan and his armourbearer be missing, when they’re in battle and no one was watching their backs, to find if their coverage had weakened in any area? We mean, who wouldn’t miss Jonathan??? Jonathan’s strategy was, he, himself and his armourbearer were to crossover unto all of Israel’s enemy through a rough sharp rocky easily to be badly cut terrain. Those terrains were named Bozez (which means; shining, to bleach and fine white linen) and the other name was Seneh (which means thorn and to prick, which actually were raspberry bushes or blackberry bushes). In other words, though before their eyes were dangling the fine white bleached shining victory; but it came through pushing through many obstacles which pricks their and our souls. Now we understand when the 14th verse of the 7th chapter of the scroll of Matthew presents unto all saints who love will not quit; the strait (or obstacles standing close about, as we strive to crossover the designed pathway) which leads through the entrance of the Word of God; for narrow (which is afflictions, throngs and suffering tribulations and troubles) is the way (the progress, the route, act or distance and journey) which leads unto eternal life; and few there be that find it. The few was Jonathan and his armourbearer; could you just imagine, Saul and the priest and Saul’s other five hundred and ninety-eight men trying to squeeze through that sharp easily to be cut place, without someone complaining or crying out, giving away their position and their sneak attack? But, what some won’t do; do for love; they will try everything, but end up giving up, because of the obstacle course and the things which must be done on that course: Selah!!! This is why the majority of those who were to be in the battle, they were relaxing under the pomegranate tree; while the church of women back home thought their warriors were warring a harsh warfare; psych!! Jonathan and his armourbearer continues; after making it through that narrow pathway, the journey gets rougher; for to overcome the enemy, we, as Jonathan; have to climb a cliff, but we have a choice; for there’s one which faced northward (which indicates hidden unknown danger) its name was Michmash, and the other which was southward (which is heading back towards Egypt) being over against Michmash was named Gibean (being a hillock and very high to climb). Jonathan and his armourbearer had to get over these two before they were able to achieve the victory of the Philistine’s garrision. That’s fighting through danger to arrive at more danger to achieve that danger you were headed out to conquer; anyone would like to take this journey with Jonathan and us; if not, find your pomegranate tree and keep silent; for you have not a clue, what God’s about to do? Wow, I’m a poet and didn’t even know it; Lol. If saints would pay close attention unto what’s about to be said, it would help you to get out of the sects (and sects are; Pharisees, Sadducees-yes, they are sad dudes, you see. Sects are also Scribes, doctors and lawyers) but today they are called denominations as in Baptist, Pentecostal and all of the others; which hold you captive as in touch not, taste not and handle not. For Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, as is seen from the Message Version in the 6th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel: come on!!!! Let’s go across to these uncircumcised pagans. In being there, maybe GOD will work for us. There’s no rule that says God can only deliver by using a big army. We of the leadership team reiterate, just because God is not doing a mighty work through the large number, most immature saints are told, that’s not of God; when in fact, their leaders (kingly and priestly) are under the same pomegranate tree in which fearful king Saul (their anointed leader) is reclining under; as was Ahijah, the priest of Shiloh, while wearing their ephod (which indicates that their king priesthood was not like that of Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God. We fully understand that we’re taking the long route around this lesson, it’s not like you have anything else important as in getting an understanding into the very Word of God in which you’re dedicated to. One, this we as saints must understand, in battle, we must partner with someone who is not fearful in the LORD, and is equipped to cross over with you; for Jonathan’s armourbearer said unto him; let’s do this thing: go ahead!!!! Do what you think best (and I will follow you, bringing up the rear). I’m, with you all the way!!! This type of dedication, was more dedicated than Jonathan and his father, King Saul, and we will see that in our next epistle. For Jonathan’s armourbearer was just as equipped as he was in using the whole armour in which they would engage in battle with. So, Jonathan’s armourbearer said these famous words; I do understand fully but do what’s in your heart or what you think is best for you and I on this battle field; I will not desert you. Get this strategy of Jonathan’s; while going through the things in which were mentioned earlier, those things must be done in a sneaky way, which is called a sneak attack. But, once a person makes it through those, he must make him or themselves known (seen) to the very enemy in which they are attacking. Jonathan said from the 8th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel from the Amplified Version: we (as in you armourbearer and I, son of the king) will pass over unto these men and we will let them see us!!!! Let them know that you’re coming for them (and the way you’re coming), which would incite a panic among themselves. This revealing is to find out God’s next direction; for Jonathan said, as is seen from the Amplified Version: if the enemy say to us; wait until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them (for we wouldn’t have the victory, for they have reliance upon the fort). But, once we have made ourselves known to them and our intention, if they say, come up to us (fear is there within them) so we will go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hand, and this will be our sign. Most saints would rather fight the enemy on their level earthy grounds; when we’re designed to invade higher territory; even from once we fell from; Selah. Here is where we will be picking up from in our next food for thought; for enough has been said to make you go hmm. keep in mind, if the king’s son (being Jonathan) had to fight, so do you. If God’s Son, (being Yhowshua) had to fight, so do you; so burn down your pomegranate tree and get on the battle field. We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!
