This is a continuation from the epistle which is posted on Grace M Church Facebook page dated the 19th day of the 7th month of the 2018th year entitled: Where are you in the battle? As we take notice of now seemed to be inquisitive king Saul and the looking so foolish priest Ahijah, and even the five hundred and ninety-eight men (seeing that Jonathan and his armourbearer are out there on the battlefield alone; thanks, be unto God that His angel is out there with those two courageous men). When King Saul, the priest and the other men arrived on the battlefield, they noticed even the more what God was doing, because the Israelites from around the regions had joined Jonathan and his armourbearer in the battle; as is shown in the 21st verse of the same 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel (we of the leadership team reiterate; what God was doing through Jonathan and his armourbearer was shaking the ground so much, the ongoing victory could not be hidden from the rest of the body in which were supposed to be reigning called Israel). So much was this move of God, great that the men of mount Ephraim being the double fruit group, when they heard that the Philistines fled before (really) Jonathan and his armourbearer; so Israel also joined in the pursuit, following hard after the Philistines; as says the 22nd verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel. This is how the story usually goes, when you’re winning after it seemed as you’re out of your mind and the people keep trying to remind you that you are, when the tables turn for the only natural to eye see; here comes plenty of help because they’re able to see what’s happening. Let’s be real, church folks like to be counted among the winning battle when they feel it would come so easy; (how many of us know, nothing comes easy in God; this is why Paul said, I press towards)? But where were the crowd when the hard, vulnerable, foolish looking decisions had to be made? Yes, decisions like going out there on your own trusting God while squeezing between thorns, and overwhelming passages and vulnerably climbing up into territories where you know for a fact the enemy, being temporarily in higher locations than where you or God’s people were at the beginning of these decisions; which placed Jonathan and his armourbearer’s dependency totally upon God, who was giving their angel orders to keep them: as is said in the 11th verse of the 91st chapter of the scroll of Psalms in these words from the Message Version: God ordered His angels to guard you wherever you go. This is also backed up with Elisha and his servant Gehazi, when Gehazi’s eyes were spiritually opened (even after serving Elisha for so long, his dependency was not on God, even as many who are serving you right now). Nevertheless, Elisha prayed for him and saw their ever present spiritual help was there in a battle in which it seemed as if they were physically about to lose. It’s like, God telling Moses, beware of the angel which I have assigned unto you and that company of temporary courage people who were going out into the unknown; and not remaining in their hiding place called Egypt; in which, when times got a lot difficult on the journey, they wanted to run back and hide in Egypt (yes, hide from what God expected out of them) even as so many so called Christians of today, being the 2018th year; they are hiding behind four walls in their never travelling convoy. Get this, even the Ishmaelites were moving and they passed God’s leaders in who were sitting down eating bread comfortably while torturing the only one who saw spiritually, as is seen in the 25th verse of the 37th chapter of the scroll of Genesis. That’s when God caused the relaxed, blind ten leaders of Israel and their flocks to sell the only leader among them who was courageous and willing to travel in the Lord, yes, into the unknown (and that person’s name was Joseph); Selah!!! Seeing that Joseph said unto his exact ten nonmoving, dwelling in wrong location Dothan brethren, they being leaders of ten congregations known as tribes, which belong to God; you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good; for all things work together for the good of those who are THE CALLED according to God’s purpose. Yes, the 28th verse of the 8th chapter of the scroll of Romans calls us who will totally depend and have reliance upon God’s purpose (being aware that our angel is ever present; that verse calls us THE CALLED: He does not say, who are called; He calls us THE CALLED, according to God’s purpose and not our own). Because the purpose of God was created before the person or people, who were going to fill the purpose or purposes, he and we being (THE CALLED ONE OR ONES) have a designated employment of Elohiym; even as Eden was created before Adam, and the world before humanity who was in the woman; everything was there first, then came us; Selah!!!! Those of you who are out here on this difficult lonely battlefield with your own purpose and your own wills, you’re secretly jealous and have taken notice of the shaking in which God is doing through us courageous few; that’s why you’re focused so hard on trying to destroy us, using the enemy against us even (as Judas tried with Yhowshua). In turning our focus back unto the 23rd verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel in which the Message Version reads in this manner: God saved Israel!!! What a day! The fighting moved on to Bethaven (yes, past the house of vanity—which is a heart of want of substance to satisfy selfish desires; but they found out as the pastor of the congregation of the Laodiceans that they were actually filled with Emptiness; as is pointed out in the 17th verse of the 3rd chapter of the scroll of Revelation). Yes, Beth means House of bread; but Saul, his priest and his men of war, they were comfortably under a pomegranate tree eating the wrong bread (in which the Philistines called their location hiding) filled with emptiness of the battle in which they were supposed to have been fighting; Selah!!! This is the condition of most congregations today, they thinking because the synagogues are crowded, they believe the move of God is there; when in fact; the tabernacle in which Moses pitched, service was going on there, while the ark of the covenant was in a tent of David’s. We of the leadership team reiterate, service was going on faithful back there in Moses’ tabernacle, yes, a place in which God had moved on from; which made their services empty of the presence of God; because Aven, it’s meaning is-Emptiness; together their services were Bethaven; while God was chasing the seemed to be strongest crowd past that point, by the courageous few. All the while, king Saul finally decided to make it about himself (as most leaders of today have their names on their ministry); the 24th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel from the Message Version puts it in these words: Saul did something really foolish that day. He addressed the army of the Lord: “saying, a curse on the man who eats anything before I’ve wreacked vengeance on my enemies!” The word wreacked or wrecked means: Saul was acting under the influence of or suffering the effects of drugs or alcohol, in which was controlling his thoughts and emotions (remember they just left from under the pomegranate tree relaxing eating physical bread and drinking wine for many of days. So, none of Saul’s army men ate a thing all day; just as most Christians today being the 2018th year, they expect to win a difficult battle, without eating Words which precede out of the mouth of God all day; though they eat plenty of physical bread under the pomegranate tree of their congregation while relaxing as Saul did. The Amplified Version puts that same 24th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel in these words: but the men of Israel were distressed that day, for King Saul had caused them to take an oath of touch not, taste not and handle not-even as the people of today are under that curse of Saul, as is pointed out in the 21st verse of the 2nd chapter of the scroll of Colossians: touch not; taste not; handle not. When in fact the 22nd verse of the 2nd chapter of the same scroll of Colossians makes it clear that these things all are to perish with the using. Keep in mind Yhowshua, being the Word of God, He said, it’s not what goeth into a man that defileth a man but what came out of Saul’s mouth, O Lord! But people submit themselves after the commandments and doctrines of men, while they’re fighting a God given battle and it will fight against the courageous person in whom God began this victorious battle with? Here is where we will be picking up from on the first day of the week, which is Sunday the 22nd day of the 7th month of the 2018th year. Now we’re getting to the good parts; for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!! We will speak with you later, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!
