Speak of My Mercy

Bob Neumann, June 3, 1996

“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so shall I be around My people. My people look unto My mountain for their help in the midst of the their trouble. And to those who trust in Me, I am faithful in all things. But there are many who freely speak My Name; yet I know not! They proclaim knowledge and intimacy that is not for they look to themselves and not to Me. Each of them has their own high place to burn their incense; to make their sacrifices. What authority they espouse, what power they acknowledge comes not from My mountain. It is not of Me.”

“There comes a Day when all will see their folly, but before that day I will move against them. For too long I have been still, calling them to repent and to be saved. But they will not hear My voice, nor the words of My servants when I have sent unto them. So the Day approaches where all that they place their trust, all where they seek strength and power will be before Me. Every mountain that is against Me I shall bring down. Every stronghold that stands against Me shall melt as wax before Me.”

“For I Am. I will not allow their arrogance to continue. For long have they done what is ‘right’ in their eyes. They do not lift their eyes to Me when they speak of their Savior, their Deliverer, their God. Because they look elsewhere, and smile to themselves.”

“For too long I have suffered fools and mockers who know Me not, yet speak of Me easily. Their words are sweet and smooth to ears who desire less than the truth. Yes, My son--they know of Me. Of My love and mercy. But not of My justice or wrath. They speak words of My glory and My holiness and understand nothing of what they describe. Boldly do they speak and act, saying they do so in My Name, but all they do is by their will.”

“Hear My Words, child! Who is like unto Me! Yet they fear Me not, nor do they concern themselves towards Me. For this reason I shall move against them. All that bears mention of Me, yet is not of Me I will bring down. All that stands against Me will be destroyed. All who banter My name and look to their own strength shall surely fall. They have placed their trust in wealth and in power. Soon then wealth will be useless and their power drained away.”

“Know this, that in the midst of this judgment, most shall not repent and seek My mercy. But there will be some who shall find Me. These are who You will minister too. Many will be broken and bound by their own religiosity. Speak of My mercy and My holiness, My love and My glory. They will listen to the truth, for all else will have been brought down in their lives.”

 

 

 

Message Morningstar (or Abba's Calendar)

Bob Neumann, March 15, 1997, Miami, Fl

It is interesting that once again I cannot sleep. In a few minutes it will be the 16th and I begin another night ‘on the Tower’. But unlike other nights there is no worship--no prayer. Only His Presence and my ‘instrument.

So I write. And I am writing to you because after a year of knowing ‘about’ Morningstar I sort of met it yesterday. And I keep ‘ hearing’ “so many pieces-- yet does anyone see the Patterns?”. Even now I am astonished at how so much has been given to so many. Has anyone seen the connections being made? Quickly glancing at the “prophetic words” page and the “revival-renewal” page put my poor spirit into overdrive. To simply know that there are others who are hearing what you also have heard goes beyond the concept of confirmation. But that leaves me in the major dilemma called accountability. And once again I am back on the ‘wall’ in Ezekiel 33.

Then let me give it one shot; and walk away.

Not long ago a brother sent me a copy of Brother Jones’ and Conner’s “Shepherd’s Rod” message. Of all that was said what touched me most was the phrase “PAPA’S CALENDAR”. It was said and for the first time in my life I found someone who ‘KNOWS’ my ABBA, our PAPA, as I do. That there was someone else whose greatest desire was to stand upright before PAPA and to walk in HIS PATH. Does anyone realize that ABBA’S YEAR is almost half over? Does anyone that the warnings have but a few months before the MASTER does what HE said HE will do?

I wonder what DIVINE AUTHORITY is? But we will soon see.

That leads to the “Gathering” words that have come forth. Yes, there is a gathering taking place - but also a separation. As we see from the number of people who have received the rhema concerning the “Gathering”, it has different connotations - let me say different depths. ‘Taking in the HARVEST would seem to be PRIME DIRECTIVE of the LORD OF THE HARVEST. But if HE also goes by the names of JEHOVAH MA’KODESH and JEHOVAH TSEDKENEU the waters begin to run very deep. Unless we can align ourselves with ABBA’S purpose as well as HIS timetable we are trying to run through unknown territory on an extremely foggy night.

All that is being said about ‘gathering’ , ‘shaking’ , ‘revival’, ‘renewal’ are all inter-linked with the purpose of preparing a BRIDE for the ONCOMING BRIDEGROOM. Then again so does the ‘questions’ concerning Revival, and ISAIAH 58 ON NIGHTLINE.

Somewhere I heard or read about “riding Balaam’s Donkey backwards”; please don’t forget about the guy who got on the right way whose purpose was to curse what GOD has blessed. His job was to prevent them from taking possession of the ‘land’ GOD promised to HIS PEOPLE. Besides having a lot of ‘backwards Bozos’ we have plenty of very ‘forward Balaams’ who serve the serpent to contend with. Why don’t we spot them as easily as we spot our own ‘questionable’ brethren.”GATHERING” and “SEPARATION” continues throughout the world. Yet only in N. America is ‘revival’ so well overdone. (My apologies to S. Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.......it seems to be a mostly anglo-saxon ‘thing’ - leading to a common - or from a common - religious arrogance.) Throughout the world , rough estimates tell us that maybe a THOUSAND of our brothers and sisters will pay the ultimate price for their faith in the LAMB OF GOD, today. In america alone, 4000 lives will end in clinics and surgical suites - each and every day. And we are playing ‘word games’ and ‘mind games’ in this thing called “the church”.

“AND I KEEP HEARING THESE WORDS “IF YOU LOVE ME.................”

Can we be honest enough to say “i’m sorry, but I don’t love you, LORD. if I loved you - would I still be doing all the things you asked me not to do. if I loved you I would have done the things you asked me to do, and not have looked for reasons to justify my disobedience”.

In Isaiah 30 we are called ‘rebellious children’. Children who knew better ; but chose their own path. Too bad many do not realize that ‘following’ their own path is a whole lot like stumbling in the dark in ABBA’S EYES. Yet if we are being changed from GLORY TO GLORY into HIS IMAGE shouldn’t we begin to see with ABBA’S EYES, to hear with ABBA’S EARS, to feel with ABBA’S HEART. Then why are so many “on fire christians living so lukewarmly in HIS PRESENCE?

‘Revival’ keeps ‘breaking out’ across N. America. Sometimes you may hear the names of Toronto and Brownsville mentioned, but not always. But you almost always the words ‘hunger’ and ‘prayer’ in their stories. Some stories are new, and some have been around for months. Many blaze up suddenly, only to burn down or to burn out, some quickly, some slowly. But some are still ablaze. And some suddenly ‘vanished’. Those that burned either down or out will talk about ‘their revival’ , ‘their move of GOD’. But you never hear of the ‘revivals’ that just vanished. NOW AIN’T THAT INTERESTING.

Sort of like those ‘on fire’ young churches behind the “fallen” IRON CURTAIN that AMERICAN MINISTRIES boasted of between 1988 and 1995. For well over twenty years prophetic words came forward that ‘doors would open’, that ‘windows of opportunity’ would appear. FOR A SEASON. Almost every word that was given came with a time limit. AND when pumping for ‘funds’ said limits were made very clear to all. Then the HOLY SPIRIT - HELD BY HIS WORD - closed said doors and windows. Have you heard much over christian media about the new brethern who were so desperately in need of our help lately? Out of sight - Out of mind? American Revival is like a brushfire, a little flame that gets ‘out of control’. It can burn away a lot of dead or dry grass and scrub-brush, but isn’t that the purpose of THE MASTER’S HOLY FIRE - TO BURN AWAY WOOD, HAY,, and STUBBLE? Little brush fires seldom kill healthy, mature, well rooted, well watered trees. Nor will they burn down ‘your’ house if THE LORD has built it. So what are we really asking for? What really were we praying for? A lot of bright light and just a little heat to keep the ‘old juices’ flowing. Is it all for show and not for function?

During the ‘Days of Awe’, the period between the FEAST OF TRUMPETS and the DAY OF ATONEMENT, THE MASTER gave me a repeated vision of the FORGE OF GOD. A place of controlled fire; purposeful - useful - functional - intense fire/heat. Where THE MASTER would shape the FINAL TOOLS and WEAPONS for what must ‘quickly come’. This same fire was shown to me in the forms of a smithy’s forge, a potter’s kiln, and a smelter’s furnace. Same FIRE, same PURPOSE, just different points of perception.

The SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD has been taking his people underground over the last fifty years. Look at China, N. Korea, and all the countries ‘behind’ what has been called the IRON, the BAMBOO, and the ISLAMIC CURTAINS. Before the PERSECUTION began, the SHEPHERD MOVED HIS SHEEP. Has HE done any less for us? Every time we have received any ‘word’, ‘dream’, ‘vision’, or outright ‘prophecy’ concerning what is about to come, it is another notch on the ROD OF AUTHORITY for which we will make an account.

There is a Moving taking place. And like all things we want to put a label on it. Call it revival, renewal, breakout, etc.; it really doesn’t matter. A few weeks ago in evening service here in S. Florida I was praying once again for HIS Sheep. I prayed as the SPIRIT lead me; and when HE finished I added my own two cents - as usual. I asked HIM to move among HIS people - to touch and to heal - for revival.

And then I heard ABBA’S voice say as clearly as I have ever heard HIS voice, “How badly do you want it?”. And as the searing fire of the rhema word cut through my soul into my spirit I understood. Even now I remember my reply, “Oh, ABBA, please forgive me. I don’t want ‘it’ , I only want YOU...”

The problem of revival is relationship. Somehow, Somewhere we have learned to talk revival without stressing the whole purpose of revival, the CREATION of, the STRENGTHENING of, the EXPANSION of our RELATIONSHIP to/in/with our GOD. Likewise we talk a good talk concerning relationship, but do walk as solidly as we can talk. How long can we ‘cover-up’ our lack by saying “so what if he doesn’t practice what he preaches, but he ‘loves’ the LORD”, “don’t you know he has a ‘good heart’.

Why do we talk to death the verse that “God is not a respecter of persons” whenever we seem to be loosing control when so much else He said was up close and personal. “IF YOU LOVE ME....” WHAT SO EVER YOU DID FOR THE LEAST......YOU DID UNTO ME....” and of course, lest we forget “DEPART FROM ME......FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU.” Sounds like tough words from a tough GOD. AN ON FIRE , IN YOUR FACE , DROWN THE EGYPTIAN ARMY, SLAUGHTER THE ASSYRIAN ARMY, type of GOD. A MOST HIGH GOD. A MOST HOLY GOD.

A GOD OF JUDGEMENT, A GOD OF VENGEANCE, A GOD OF WRATH.

HIS WORDS - SPOKEN BY HIS PROPHETS AND HIS PSALMISTS.

Definitely not a GOD to be taken lightly. So why do so many who say they know HIM take HIM so lightly, so casually, so carelessly. so foolishly.

Maybe that is why we ask for heavenly fire, for revival, for “it”. If “it” comes with true repentance and true change; “it” is GOD - and we will see by “it’s” Fruit. And then again we have a lot of word spoken from smooth and slick mouths, not from hearts broken and contrite - in submission to the SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD. The Counterfeits are not in the ‘world’, only in the ‘church’. Why try to deceive the ‘world’ that is on the road to Hell? DECEPTION and DELUSION are specifically tailored to lazy sheep, rebellious children, and wicked servants. So if we settle for less than HIS PRESENCE - FULLNESS IN HIS SPIRIT, we will to something, for something. Just remember the Wheat and the Tares.......

TARES ONLY ARRIVE AFTER THE GOOD SEED IS SOWN........ NOW GO BACK TO THE IDEA OF SEPARATION....... I KNEW YOU’D GET IT.

Suddenly in the midst of everything HIS PEACE is all over me. I guess this one shot got to whoever needed it. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD. HIS PRESENCE AND HIS PEACE is enough - I want nothing else, I need nothing else.

Dear ABBA, pour Your Blessings and Favor on all who may read what You asked to be written. May they see You more clearly, hear You more quickly, obey You more joyfully,

IN KING’S LOVE

I Grieve

Bob Neumann, 2/1998

Dear Friends,

Wednesday morning I rec’d a post from a most dear young brother concerning the hype and holler around the execution of Karla Faye Tucker.....in my response to him I heard and began to take dictation....

Often when ABBA allows me to answer HE gives a WORD...sometimes very specific.

But there are times it is obvious the scope is far beyond my vision...

So with the Permission of my friend and brother we share this with you...

 

Dear Paul,

I too was caught in a place of conflict concerning Sr Tucker. The one side that sought mercy to put aside justice, and at the same time I remembered that there is a price to be paid for sin. JESUS bore our sins, our guilt, and our shame. Through HIM we have been delivered from eternal death and given eternal life. The crime was forgiven in the spiritual sense because she found the TRUTH and is free indeed...but Caesar demanded his payment. In this case the offense broke the rules of our GOD and of man. But what of the thousands of cases every year where the crime committed is ‘being a christian’?

Everyday our family members are being tortured and killed for the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM. But where are the TV cameras and the reporters. Where are our tears and our cries for mercy....Karla Faye had a long process and appeals to be made....but what of all the faceless and nameless who we won’t give a second thought about. Somewhere in my spirit I cry it ain’t fair.....and I hear HIS VOICE whisper.

“I NEVER PROMISED YOU THAT IT WOULD BE FAIR. I DID SAY I WOULD BE WITH YOU. I SAID THE WORLD WOULD HATE YOU JUST AS IT HATED ME, SO WHY ARE YOU SO DOWN ABOUT THIS. ARE YOU GRIEVED AT WHAT GRIEVES ME. OR ARE YOU GRIEVED BECAUSE I DID NOT PERFORM TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS....IF YOUR FOCUS IS NOT ON MY WORD THE WORLD WILL GRAB AND KEEP YOUR ATTENTION.

I GRIEVE BECAUSE I STILL SEE SIN WHERE I SHOULD SEE FORGIVENESS. YOU HOLD ON TO YOUR PET SINS AND REFUSE TO REPENT. YOU CARRY OFFENSES AGAINST YOU AS VALUED EVIDENCE AGAINST THE BRETHREN WHEN YOU SHOULD FORGIVE AND BE RESTORED. YOU HIDE YOUR CHAINS OF BONDAGE BEHIND RELIGIOUS COUNTERFEITS WHEN YOU SHOULD BE BEGGING FOR DELIVERANCE.

YOU VALUE TOO MANY THINGS ABOVE MY KINGDOM AND I GRIEVE. I GRIEVE BECAUSE YOU THINK OF BEING SAVED WHEN YOU HAVE LOST YOURSELVES ALONG THE WAY.

I GRIEVE BECAUSE YOU DO THINGS AS THE WORLD DOES AND DO NOT EVEN NOTICE IT IS NOT THE WAY I HAVE INSTRUCTED YOU. I GRIEVE BECAUSE I KNOW WHO WILL NOT REPENT AND WHO WILL NOT RETURN.

I GRIEVE BECAUSE SO FEW OF MINE EVEN NOTICE MY TEARS.

Basket Visions

Bob Neumann, 2/1998

There are times when I get very vivid and clear images that pertain to a specific issue. Yet they do not seem to qualify as a vision because of their length or the fact that I get no solid witness in my spirit. I know it is from the MOST HOLY SPIRIT but can be quite off the wall and out of nowhere. That is where “these'' were until last night when it all tied together. So please bear with me a minute as I stumble through this.

A week ago I was watching CNN have a 'town meeting' to build up popular support for military action against Saddam Hussein. Sec of Defense Cohen kept repeating the phrase “contain Saddam Hussein...”, and those 'red flags' suddenly rose up in my spirit. And out of nowhere I saw this straw basket, sort of roundish and had a simple lid. and without warning it sort of moved. There was something in it. And in my spirit I saw a huge king cobra, and I knew it was in the basket. And that was it. The comparison of our attempting to contain Saddam was like keeping one extremely large and dangerous snake in a straw basket. Obvious.... and when the efforts of Mr. Anin appeared to succeed I again saw the basket sitting on the floor in a room crowded with toddlers. And I had the impression that it was a real big basket....

Yesterday I heard Sen. Trent LOT complain about the agreement with Saddam and he kept using the term “appeasement”. Once again I saw the basket in the room with a lot of “rug rats”....children who were into everything but cannot be accountable.... and my first thought was that was a big basket with one big snake...how do you appease it? feed it? And what could you feed Saddam to keep him 'appeased'.... feed him a child? And then I watched the sides of the basket undulate as the snake moved inside. My second thought was 'that's one damned big snake and he won't stay long in that basket.....

All of this seems pretty straight forward....and felt no urge to write it down....and then last night in a vision I saw two huge snakes. One was the cobra raised up and swaying. The second was a huge constrictor, quietly laying on a perch. and the LORD said: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO? And I waited thinking about them.

And suddenly I saw a man 'charming' the cobra....swaying in rhythm with the cobra, but at a distance...next I saw a dancing girl with a snake draped over her shoulders and around her body. She was dressed as any belly dancer and her moves were typically provocative.

And I heard clearly this statement; “WHILE THE WORLD KEEPS THE COBRA AT A RESPECTFUL DISTANCE, THE CHURCH DANCES WITH THE SERPENT”.

Hard word but true.

Issues or Stumbling Blocks

Bob Neumann, 5/1998

Yesterday I received a posting once again concerning the "issue" of women in ministry. And as I read I felt a heavy grief in my spirit and took it to the LORD. And again in the 'night season' I found HIS PRESENCE and heard. And again I wrestled and the night passed. And I hardened my heart and said this I can not do....

Yet HE moved and I heard from Sr. Debby the cry of my own heart....and she ended with a question…

"Bob, what opportunities do you feel you have missed that can not be made up?"

"You make issues of doctrines that do nothing to reach out to the lost and dying. They are stumbling blocks that are cast out to impede those who I HAVE called and chosen to serve ME. You waste time and energy defending your positions based on single verses that ignore MY INTENT and MY LOVE. You speak of the ONE TRUE CHURCH, when all your argumentation only leads to further strife and division. Children, do you want to hear the TRUTH.... OR have you hardened your hearts to the point that you only listen to and receive that which pleases you, that agrees with you, that exalts you, that panders to your arrogance and pride?"

"Today you argue about who you will accept as figures of authority... as ministers of MY GOSPEL. OR IS IT YOUR GOSPEL? Answer ME CHILDREN, DO YOU SERVE ME? OR DO YOU SERVE YOURSELVES?"

"You say I will ignore your iniquity because your hearts are toward ME. Yet from your lips come that which fills your hearts. Your minds deceive you when you rationalize your iniquities when you should be repenting. You say to all around you "my hands are clean" as your mouths pour out vain and selfish words that flow from your hearts."

"You create your doctrines and your rules and do not even live by them. You say who may or may not minister in the buildings that you have boldly proclaimed to be MY HOUSE. DID YOU ASK ME? DID YOU SEEK ME FIRST? If I would send the Prophetess Deborah unto you, half of what you would call 'MY CHURCH' would deny her for she was a women. But most would deny her she was MY PROPHET....for they say I HAVE CHANGED and there are "no prophets in the land". "If I would send MOSES half of you would deny him because of the color of his skin. If I would send ELIYAHU most of you would deny him because of his appearance and demeanor".

"You speak of a Five FOLD Ministry yet govern with but one. YOUR WORDS ARE DOUBLE MINDED and YOUR WAYS ARE SELF SERVING. YOU BOAST OF YOUR LITTLE LIGHTS WHEN I CALLED YOU TO BE BEACONS IN THE DARKNESS. YOU DELIGHT IN YOUR BUCKETS OF WATER WHEN I DECLARED THAT RIVERS SHOULD FLOW OUT OF YOUR BELLIES. AS YOUR LIGHTS BEGIN TO DIE, AS YOUR LAMPS BEGIN TO FLICKER YOU WILL REACH FOR THE FLASKS ON YOUR HIPS. THE FLASKS YOU PREACHED AND TEACHED ABOUT WHEN YOU LORDED OVER YOUR BRETHREN. WAVED YOUR FINGER AND PRIDED YOURSELF IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND ACHIEVEMENTS, ALL YOUR WORKS. AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR FLASKS EMPTY."

"HEAR NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD, THE LORD MOST HIGH, THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD WHO GIVES VICTORY TO HIS SERVANTS WHO WAIT UPON HIM. YOUR LAND IS IN DRAUGHT AND FAMINE NOW SPREADS ACROSS YOUR LAND. YOU SAID TO MY SERVANTS 'DO NOT SPEAK' WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR MY VOICE. I DO NOT SPEAK TO THOSE WHO REFUSE TO HEAR MY WORD. I SEND MY SERVANTS BECAUSE I AM FAITHFUL, NOT BECAUSE MAN IS FAITHFUL. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FAITHLESSNESS OF MAN I HAVE ALWAYS SENT MY SERVANTS TO THOSE IN SIN. BECAUSE I AM I DO THIS FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE FAITHFUL IN THE MIDST OF YOU. DRAUGHT AND FAMINE ARE UPON YOU, PLAGUE HAS BEGUN AND STORM AND SWORD QUICKLY FOLLOW FOR YOU PAID NO HEED TO MY WARNINGS."

"FOR NOW ALL THAT REMAINS IS JUDGEMENT UNTO REPENTANCE".

"BUT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT REPENT OF THEIR LIES, MURDERS, THEFT, AND SORCERIES MY WRATH WILL BE POURED OUT".

"MY SHEEP HAVE ALWAYS HEARD MY VOICE AND FOLLOWED ME... REPENT DEAF SHEPHERDS WHO STRIKE MY SHEEP''.

"MY CHILDREN HAVE ALWAYS COME TO ME AND I HAVE HELD THEM AND BLESSED THEM..... REPENT SELF SEEKING DISCIPLES WHO HINDER MY CHILDREN"

"MY SERVANTS I HAVE ALWAYS SENT TO YOU TO SPEAK MY WORD AND MY WILL.... REPENT ARROGANT PRIESTS AND PROPHETS WHO SPEAK FROM THEIR FLESHLY SELF INTEREST AND SAY THAT THE ''I AM'' HAS SPOKEN''.

"MY SET TIME HAS COME''.

 

 

 

Why Do You Follow Me? (Untitled)

Bob Neumann, 1998

Okay, let’s make this simple. For the last few days “old stuff” has come back home to me. THE BOSS just laughed and reminded me about throwing bread on the water....it comes back to you. HE was talking about “giving” into/unto HIS KINGDOM. There is a saying that goes... “NO GOOD DEED EVER GOES UNPUNISHED”....and that is how the enemy/the world wants us to “perceive” things through the tinted glasses of “enlightened self-interest”. So why, for the first time in months HE wakes me up and asks... “WHY ARE YOU IN THIS FIGHT DOG?”. Like DUHHHH!!!!!!!! I’ve been trying to run and hide for weeks now...but the fight seems to follow us into our caves And our holes. So my answer is simple....I have no choice....except to deny HIM. Think on that...please.

At the end of John 6 everyone but the 12 have left HIM because of some very scary words HE SAYS.... HE asks them today...but few hear...and most who do won’t do as HE asks. Old Peter gave the answer.... Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.

Simple answer....HIS IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.....unless you want to play craps with the devil.... So I guess that is why HE TOLD ME to tell you this.... READ JOHN 6......all of it. And HE ASKED ME and told me to ASK ALL OF YOU....

“WHY DO YOU FOLLOW ME? ARE YOU ACTUALLY CARRYING YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOWING ME UP THE HILL OF THE SKULL? OR ARE YOU SITTING AROUND WAITING FOR ME TO DELIVER WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME? DO YOU PRAY AS I TAUGHT, HIDDEN IN YOUR CLOSETS? DO YOU FAST HIDING YOUR HUNGER FROM THOSE AROUND YOU? DO YOU GIVE TO THOSE IN NEED WITHOUT EVEN ALLOWING ONE HAND KNOWING THE OTHER?”

At this point I know my answer...you need to search your own heart.... but HE ALSO SAID.....

“THERE WAS A TIME WHERE PEOPLE WERE EQUALLY CONCERNED WITH ETERNAL TORMENT AS THEY WERE WITH ETERNAL BLESSING. I SAID “THE FEAR OF THE LORD” IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM BUT TOO MANY LOOK TO MAN AND NOT TO ME FOR SO LONG THAT MAN’S TEACHINGS ARE MORE ESTEEMED THAN WHAT “IS WRITTEN”. LIKEWISE “WORDS” FROM SOURCES FOUL AND UNHOLY PLEASE THE LISTENER AND EXPAND THE LIE. SO TRUTH IS PUSHED ASIDE AND DECEPTION IS RAMPANT. FEW FEAR WHERE THEY SHOULD. FEW TREMBLE AT THE SOUND OF MY VOICE AND FALL DOWN BEFORE ME. SO FEW INDEED ARE NEAR ENOUGH TO FEEL THE BREATH OF MY MOUTH AS I SPEAK. TOO FEW WILL STAY SO CLOSE TO ME THAT THEY CAN HEAR MY HEART. THESE ARE MY SAINTS, MY DREAD WARRIORS WHO HAVE NOT RUN FROM THE BATTLE. WHO DAILY GET WAILED ON BY THE WORLD THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL, ONLY TO SIMPLY STAND AS I TOLD THEM TO DO.”

“THE VICTORY IS MINE BECAUSE THE BATTLE BELONGS TO ME AND THOSE WHO CAME TO ME INTO THE WILDERNESS OUT OF THEIR EGYPTS AND AWAY FROM THEIR BABYLONS.”

“I CHOSE THE TIME AND THE PLACE FOR WAR.”

“I AM THE LORD OF HOSTS!”

“I AM THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH”.

“I AM THE SUBDOER OF THE PEOPLES.”

“I AM THE CONQUEROR OF NATIONS.”

“I AM THE SEED THAT CRUSHES THE SERPENT’S HEAD.”

“ALL I ASKED YOU TO DO WAS TO FOLLOW ME, TO COME TO ME WITH YOUR HEAVY BURDENS, LEARN OF ME AND TAKE MY YOKE AND BURDEN,TO PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND TO DIE. IT STARTS WITH FOLLOWING ME, AND SO MANY WEEP ABOUT THE DYING PART WITHOUT EVER TAKING A STEP BEHIND ME.”

“I AM THE WAY....ONLY IF YOU WILL FOLLOW ME.”

“I AM THE TRUTH....ONLY IS YOU WILL LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY AND OBEY ME.”

“I AM THE LIFE....ONLY WHEN YOU WILL LIVE IN ME AND THROUGH ME BECAUSE I AM ABBA’S VINE.”

“AS THERE IS A PLACE OF ETERNAL PRESENCE THERE IS A PLACE OF ETERNAL SEPARATION. EITHER YOU ARE FOR ME NOW AND FOREVER, OR YOU ARE AGAINST ME....AND IN THIS...NOW WILL GUARANTEE FOREVER, ETERNAL, WITHOUT END.”

“SO IT IS UP TO YOU....IS IT EVIL TO SERVE AND WORSHIP ME?”

“JOSHUA ASKED THAT QUESTION AFTER CROSSING THE JORDAN AND TAKING ‘MOST’ OF THE LAND AND KILLING SOME OF THE GIANTS. ACTUALLY CALEB AND HIS DAUGHTERS KILLED THE GIANTS AND TOOK THEIR CITY. BUT THEN AGAIN HE WAS MY SERVANT....MY SERVANTS KILL GIANTS AND TAKE CITIES. DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ME?”

Even now I hear HIS LAUGHTER as I type this...we had talked about old Caleb some time ago and Joshua.... but “we” (the people who run churches and sit in pews) still listen to the 10 and forget who delivered us out of Egypt and feeds us. Things haven’t changed in too many ways. So HE SPOKE...I type...now I send.

Bob....

HE still calls me dog....
