Fiction:
I went to the local tavern and picked up a gal. We went home and made out. My wife walked in on us and seemed upset. I calmly walked over to her with a smile that begged her approval. "Great to see you" I said with confidence, "I'm glad you saw how passionately I was kissing this other gal, because once you know how I was thinking of you the whole time, your going to be so impressed of that expression of love toward you ..." OK, that sounds absurd, doesn't it? How could anyone be that stupid to think that the wife would be pleased at all if her husband was getting it on with a harlot while thinking about her the whole time? Doesn't that even make it more disturbing that he was thinking about her? Here is the sad thing: I've been that stupid. It would be bad enough if I had been that stupid with my wife, but that is not what I'm talking about. I've been that stupid with God. It is written that redeemed saints are the bride of Christ. I'm married to Him, and so are you if you are a believer. Truth:
While I am in the world I went and got seduced by the December 25th holiday and other pagan festivals. It wasn't long before I was passionately enthralled in these things. God could see me do this, and I just confidently explained to God that "I was thinking of Him the whole time." No. That's not how I said it. It was more like, "Jesus is the reason for the season" or "Lets keep Christ in Christmas." But the bottom line is that I was acting a harlot and sleeping around on Him, while trying to justify my adultery by saying I was thinking of Him as I did it. Yeah, I'm that stupid. Currently:
I'm sorry. I've blown it. I've repented. I ain't sleeping around any more. No more justifying it. I don't want to do that anymore to the God that I love. I love Him because He first loved me. He has proven it to me. As often as I blow it, He is there to forgive me and pick me up from all my stumbling. He welcomes me back into a pure relationship even though I have played the harlot over and over. And I'm getting so convinced that He'll forgive and love me that I don't care to wander as much as I have in the past. All that leads to regret, and there is no regret in His arms for He fulfills every longing of my heart.THUS SAYS THE LORD:
This world has altogether become a house of harlots, who continually go out to commit fornication with the unclean and revel in their adulteries against God, altogether forsaking Him who I sent to them so they may turn away from their ways and become completely clean...none of these have harkened. They remain shackled to this world and its fornications of sin, intermingling honor with dishonor, praise with blasphemy, and sin with purity. Woe! My children, you have all fallen into the snare of the devil. Can you not see, My children? Open your eyes and read the writing set forth in stone, written by the hand of God, the everlasting Law etched with burning fire, blazing as a torch so you may not stumble in the darkness which surrounds you... I shall speak plainly, so those slow to understanding may hear, though their ears are dull and their eyes are dim. These modern holidays, Christmas, Easter and Halloween, are abomination in the eyes of the Lord God Almighty. I shall destroy them and wipe them from the face of the whole earth! No more shall you break My commands, and revel in sin, in the Sons name. My countenance is turned against you! says the Lord of Hosts.

12/01/09 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Jesus The Christ, Our Lord and Savior - A Letter Given to Timothy, For Jessica, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Regarding Jessica’s baby and her concerns for her younger sister
She is Mine... Worry not, nor shed a tear over her... She is Mine. And I shall call her home, and upon My bosom shall she rest from all that ails her. I shall wipe all her tears and hold her fast in My love, says The Lord...For I am The Lord over all!... I am a Mighty King!...And MY love is never-ending.Therefore, come to Me, and lay all that you are aside... Come to Me! Lay yourself down and be Mine, and I shall fill you and be yours... Come to Me!
And so I shall come swiftly, and steal away every lamb... Yes, beloved, even of yours shall I take back.For your gift shall be taken...Though you have sinned, I have forgiven you, My beloved. And because of this, I have given this gift according to My love, so you would grow quickly and come to Me...For that, which another has aborted, is by no means lost. For My gifts, murdered at the hands of their mother,
Return to Me and are given to another... Even by way of the next generation are they received into the world... A gift given in love... Taken... Then given once again,
Into the arms of one who will love them and is grateful for the gift...The gifts of God The Father...Of which no one can destroy.For I AM LORD over all creation!... Just and righteous are My ways.Even I AM The Creator... He, by which all come into being.
Amen... And amen.
12/02/09 From YahuShua HaMashiach, Jesus The Christ, Our Lord and Savior - A Letter Given to Timothy, For Jayse, and For All Those Who Have Ears to HearQuestion asked by Timothy, for Jayse: Lord, should Jayse accept Christmas gifts from family members?
[YahuShua] What I have spoken already is true, and remains My will for those who walk in Me, even as an example to all those who remain ignorant of My ways, says The Lord.Regarding this holiday of men, which pollutes My name and desecrates the truth of who I am, I have said, “Take no part. Be then completely separate; and neither learn, nor take part in, the ways of the world or the pagan.“
Therefore, before you, Jayse, is an opportunity and a testing of your resolve, a chance to be counted worthy and upright before Me... Also an opportunity to reveal, by example, that I am indeed first... Believing I am The Only Way to follow, The Only Truth to uphold, and The Only Life to receive and walk in... Worshipping Me by action, and in spirit and in truth, to the purification of faith and of the new life I have given you... The shedding of your old man and this world, and the putting on of Christ... The very act of which will separate you from this world...For it is by My life you are saved...
Even I had laid it down to cleanse you... Yea, I took it up again to establish you in My glory.For love’s sake, I have restored you,
And placed you at My right hand, holding you fast at My bosom.
So again I tell you, I am The Lord... I must be foremost, or how shall I send you? What matter these things of the world? My son, what understanding is it you require? Is not the matter made known? Even it is made self-evident before your eyes, yet you ask for further understanding?... My son, trust and obey; follow My leading, and give heed to My speech...For where I am leading you, others have not known... Even to a place deep inside Me...A place of which kings and angels long to know... A place separate from this world and sin...A place set apart for My glory, which shall be fully revealed to you and in you...A place in Me and of Me, forever seated at My right hand, to the glory of The Father...Even as I am seated at the right hand of The Father...And He remains in Me, and I in He.
So shall it be at the end of days, which has come upon you...A day of sharp words and magnificent signs...A day of darkness in the world, and consuming glory for those taken to Heaven...A day of thick clouds and troubles, with bitter and deep sorrows... A multitude of tears...A great outcry among the remnant...The Day of The Lord!...A Day brought forth at My coming... Completed and brought to its end at My return...The Majesty comes!... Bright and consuming, an all-encompassing fire!The Bright and Morning Star shall arise and come!... The light of which shall bathe the earth in My glory,
And the sanctuary shall be cleansed!All things shall be set in order... All shall be wiped clean...All shall be restored as it was in the beginning... Yea, even in greater glory... For The King shall again walk among men, reigning on earth as in Heaven... Days without end.
Amen... And amen.
Still looking for the signs or haven't we seen enough?

Paul wrote, “We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2).
Scoffers point out, “See, someone in the early church shook up believers with the message that Christ was about to come. And Paul told them, ‘No, don’t worry about it. Don’t let it trouble or concern you.’”
But that is not what the original Greek reveals. The root word is “[be not shaken]…that the day of the Lord has come.” What disturbed the Thessalonians was they thought Christ had already come, and that they’d missed it. Paul reassures them in the next verse, “Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” (2:3). Paul was only addressing their fears when he said, “Don’t be worried, because two things have to happen first.”
So, what was Paul’s primary theology about Christ’s return? We find it in two passages: “Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand” (Romans 13:11-12). “Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand” (Philippians 4:5). Paul is crying, “Wake up! It’s past midnight already. The Lord’s coming is drawing near, so stir yourself. Don’t be slothful. Jesus is coming for those who expect him.”
Skeptics may ask, “But what about Paul’s own words? He did say two things had to happen before Christ returns. First, the Lord can’t come until a great apostasy takes place. And second, the Antichrist has to rise up and proclaim himself God. We have to see the Antichrist sitting in the temple, demanding that people worship him, before Jesus will come.”
First of all, you have to be willfully blind not to see a raging apostasy gripping the whole world. Unbelief is sweeping through nations, with believers falling away from faith on all sides. The apostasy Paul refers to has clearly arrived.
Some may say, “Paul clearly says Jesus can’t come until the Antichrist is in power.” Consider what Scripture says: “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). According to John, the Antichrist is anyone who denies the Father and the Son. Moreover, he says, the increase of such Antichrists is proof we are living in the very last days. In short, nothing is holding back Christ’s return! ...

> Two men were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning. One man immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The same fellow that was stung the first time reached down and saved the scorpion while he was again stung in the process. The other man who watched what happened asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know it's nature is to sting?"
"Because," the man replied, "to save is in my nature."
the teachable/unteachable dichotomy
In some ways it is fitting for me to become unteachable and in some ways it is fitting for me to become more teachable. Some deep groanings of Truth are within me and as I learn to put them to words, I find that the concrete is setting up solid around them, and I soon won't be able to move away from them.
You will never convince me that God depends on me instead of me depending on Him. That is pretty settled in my mind.
You'll never convince me that I can sway God's love either toward or away from me. That is something in which certainty is growing every day.
You will never convince me that I need more then Christ. He is the highest revelation, and if I have Him, then I will never need anything more, and I will never ever have to get by with less then His sufficiency. There is no way, loving or cruel to move me from that.
I will never be convinced that one can stand in Christ alone, and at the same time be under condemnation. I have seen that is impossible.
But, at the same time I am aware that there are some ghastly wrong things that are part of what I think is right, and that there is no way that I'll ever be able to present the fullness of Truth to anyone else, much less sort it all out for myself. I can only speak about what I know and be open to knowing more. That is the teachable/unteachable dichotomy. It involves a lot of saying what "I know," and a lot of admitting what "I do not know," but less and less blindly asserting things that I don't understand.
May we grow in the sensitivity of the difference, and speak primarily about what is burdened in our heart, while not assuming that what is on our heart would be spiritual for everyone else to have on their heart.
I love the topic of obedience (for example,) and find it crucial to the Christian life, but I can't lay aside what is placed on my heart and speak to that subject all the time. I only have so much time, and though I would like enough time to speak to obedience in proportion to its importance, I have to share what is in my heart. I don't think it more spiritual for anyone to speak about what is on my heart. Everyone has different emphasis's in accordance to what they have been graced to understand. Likewise, others should not assume that obedience isn't important to me, just because I don't often speak about it. Just because it is the most important to me, doesn't mean (when I don't speak about it) that I think that it isn't important. I just have limited things to share about.
We have a mocking bird in Texas. It is our state bird, and they are all over the place. When you listen to them, they sing about 12 or so songs, and just go over that rotation. Another mocking bird will have 12 or so songs, but maybe only one or so of them are the same as the first bird, so together they have about 20 songs in their rotation. And so, adding more mocking birds to the list, would add more songs, but at some point you could add 100 more birds and not get a single new song, because they are already sung by one of the others. To me this is like the body of Christ. We sing the song that is placed on our heart and it may overlap what has already been said, but we are not in competition, we are together joining in a chorus of music that reveals the music placed in our heart ... and can only be fully experienced in the corporate expression from each of us. None of us have the whole song, but we each have a part of it, and we should not condemn others if their song is a bit different.
Now of course that analogy breaks down, because two opposite teachings are at odds with each other, but that is because one of the birds, isn't a bird or maybe they are a bird, but they are singing someone - else's song instead of the one that God placed there.
Anyway, I hope you are encouraged by my viewpoint on that, and encouraged to shine inasmuch as you are given the grace to shine. Just be sincere, and genuine, and never teach someone else's gospel. Teach the gospel that is burned in your heart, and comes alive when you read it in scriptures or hear it from others.
Trent, brother..there is something I don't understand. Will we be here during the tribulation or are we already with God then?Blessings,Daan
Trent Fuller November 27 at 3:54pmWill you remain during the Great Tribulation?Yes, if you have chosen the world and your own way over the Lord Jesus and servitude to Him.Yes, if you are Moses or Elijah or 144,000 servants who will be simultaneously translated and reborn in a new body on during the harvest, having spent time with the Lord although time stood still on earth. These will endure 7 years of great Tribulation as fully established and powerful soldiers for the Lord.Yes, if you are a pastor or teacher who has mislead the Lord's sheep or caused them to stumble or misappropriated money given to God for your own selfish gain.No, if you are a child, baby, or fetus who is of such a young age that you remain in innocence, having not chosen against God in rebellion to Him. These will all escape God's wrath.No, if you are fully converted in your heart having that part of Him (His Spirit) present in your secret innermost chamber of Your heart that only God knows.However, if you were merely talking about tribulation, not the Great Tribulation ... then understand that in this world we all have tribulation ... and none are getting through without a scratch, as it has always been.Therefore, blessed are those that escape the cup of God's indignation that has been stored up for 2000 years, for indeed it will be poured out in this generation ... even the last 7 years of the age which is nearly upon us.Does this answer your question?Ripening,
Trent
Join me in praying that these churches receive this message well, and that it bear fruit in the way they conduct themselves in the little time we have left before the Day of the Lord.
