Part 18 of: Identifying the fruits of the Spirit

In waiting on the promises of God, you have need of patience, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL (PURPOSE, DECREE AND PLEASURE) OF GOD (which is to obey Him) ye might receive the promise, as speaks the King James Version. The Complete Jewish study Bible has worded that same verse in this manner: you need to hold out; so that, BY HAVING DONE WHAT GOD WILLS (by obeying Him), you may receive what he has promised. While the Amplified Version has penned that same 36th verse of the 10th chapter of the scroll of Hebrews like this: you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have CARRIED OUT THE WILL OF GOD (by obeying Him), you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised. Here’s a great example: Yeshua healed a man that was a leper. The man broke protocol concerning being a leper; for lepers have to announce that they are lepers, giving people a heads up to move out of the way. Lepers were not to be touched by clean people (one thing about that; not being touched by clean people) most of the church, being the 2018th year, they will not touch you if you’re caught in a fault; if your fault is well known, or secret; as is shown in verses 3-6 of the 8th chapter of the scroll of John from the Amplified Bible, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. They made her stand in the center of the court, and they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women [to death]. So what do You say [to do with her—what is Your sentence]. Most folks say that they are doing the Lord’s work, if so; if we of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries can recollect; Yeshua classified Himself as the great physician; He’s known as the balm in Gilead (which made Him a sweat smelling Savior) nevertheless, most of Yeshua’ disciples of today, being the 2018th year, they are sour prunes, and avoid sick folks as is spoken in verses 30-32 of the 10th chapter of the scroll of Luke, as can be seen in these words: a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers (for the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy), so, the robbers who stripped him of his clothes [and belongings], beat him, and went their way [unconcerned], leaving him half dead. Now by coincidence a priest (one of God’s greatest assembly leaders) was going down that road (unknowingly to the priest, he was sent that way by God), and when the priest saw him, the priest religiously passed by on the other side (acting as if there was a gulf between them). Likewise, a Levite (who works very closely with the priest in handling holy things) he also came down to the place (not knowing that he was sent that way by God also) and the Levite saw him, and passed by on the other side [of the road] falling the way in which he was taught by his leaders. The major part of this story is this; the Samaritan, the Bible just says; as he journeyed; it does not say he was coming from Jerusalem, as was the priest and the Levite; which indicates that they just left serving the God of compassion. This Samaritan, probably not even a worshiper of the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; making him a citizen of the world system, and under the power of the prince of the air. Nevertheless, he touched the wounded and infested, as a true physician would; this true physician’s behavior is what God saved the church to be; Selah!!! Here’s more demonstration; in the 41st verse of the 1st chapter of the scroll of Mark; Yeshua touched the man who was a leper; putting His hand forth (WILLINGLY) and touched the man and allowed the leper man to know His heart’s desire for the sick and wounded with these words: I WILL; BE THOU CLEAN!!!!! Here’s the dilemma; just because Yeshua speaks something, it doesn’t mean that it manifest to the naked eye immediately; but, the person truly is healed within, immediately; Selah!!! Yeshua’ works of healing, they never needed validating; but we see Yeshua saying unto the now soul healed man, to go and show himself unto the priest, to validate what I just did. This could go a few ways; first of all, the validation could have been for the man, because he might had been so religious, that Yeshua’ word may not have been enough for him, so he needed the old system’s approval. Then there’s; the leper man’s healing did not manifest to his own naked eye, until he was on his way to the priest; as is proven in the 14th verse of the 17th chapter of the scroll of Luke, out of the Amplified Version: when Yeshua saw the ten lepers, He said to all ten, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were [miraculously] healed and made clean. Now here’s the catch; Yeshua was speaking with ten lepers, but only one stayed in the message; as is seen in verses 15-16 of the 17th chapter of the scroll of Luke in these words from the Amplified Version: One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honoring God with a loud voice; 16 and he lay face downward at Yeshua’ feet, thanking Him [over and over]. He was a Samaritan. The Samaritain and Jews, they were despisers of each other; this now healed Samaritan, he knew Yeshua was a Jew, but he still fell on his face before Him, thanking Him; after he first glorified God in heaven with a loud voice; as is pointed out in the 15th verse; but he only thanked Yeshua, as is shown in the 16th verse of the same 17th chapter of the scroll of Luke. Here’s a question; why Yeshua’ parables keep pointing out that the people who were doing right in God’s eyes, and in His eyes were Samaritans???? Because the Samaritans had their belief system all wrong, but they were willing to make a change, without remaining with a hardened heart; as most prideful, self-righteous church folks. Just think about it right now; you at least have two friends you’re able to count on that are not a worshiper of God as you are; but they are there for you (even as God had Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus the King classifying them as his shepherds. Sometimes it’s better to be called a Samaritan, then a 2018th year saint; because most only believe in words; but faith without works is dead. This is why this ministry is always focused of the way the church is responding before the world; because most of them think; when they use the toilet; the restroom after they are finished; smell like roses, and that’s not true; seeing that we all, saved or not, pass gas; now ask someone in your house, is there any difference in the smell? Stop judging and start restoring, as true saints are commanded in the 1st verse of the 6th chapter of the scroll of Galatians in these words from the Amplified Version: brothers and sisters in the Lord, if any brother and sister in the Lord is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness]. FOR THE MERCIFUL, THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY FROM THE LORD!!!!! Here is where we of the Leadership Team will be pausing for the moment; for enough has been said to make true people in God to want to make a change for the better. We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!
