In part 5, I shared of the Vision He gave me, how the Lord had lifted me up to the high vaulted ceiling of that church an then after a brief moment there, I began to descend at an angle towards the pulpit below, speaking or praying in an unknown tongue. The man of God behind the pulpit looked up and saw me descending to where he was from above. When he saw me headed his way, the man of God took one step to his right and after that, the Lord landed me on my feet behind the pulpit facing the congregation. I shared how the Lord later opened my eyes to understand what that meant. Why did I go up to the heights of the vaulted ceiling? And why that man of God took a step to the right and then the Lord landed me behind that pulpit right by his side. It was by no means a replacing move of God.
You see God had lifted me out of the midst of the congregation there that i was sitting with. From there I went up to the vaulted ceiling, and from up there I came down to the pulpit, landing right next to the Pastor/Preacher. God did not land me there to replace, but to say that we the church members are important to the work of the Lord and to HELP OUR PASTORS/PREACHERS/TEACHERS and TO STAND WITH THEM HELPING THEM and that they should never ever feel threatened about that position and calling for God appoints and anoints over us our SHEPHERDS even as He did Moses. We, the Church members are to honor, love, and to cherish the elders that God has placed over us. The work is not to be all on their shoulders, but shared by us all. So many things we could do in the work of the Lord to help the Moses God has placed over us.
There is a very evil attitude in some that says this, Why thats what we pay them (THE PREACHER) to do. Let them do it all. Friends that spirit makes the Spirit of the Lord boil. Peter and the other disciples that were called by Jesus to prayer and to the study and to the preaching of the gospel, said in Acts 6:2-7), It is not proper for us as the elders, to leave the word of God and serve tables.....Our Preachers/Teachers/Pastors cannot and should not have to keep the children in the nursery. Do all the visiting. Cook all the meals. Wash all the dishes. Clean up the church. Change the lights. Only be the ones who visit the sick and the imprisoned. etc. etc. etc. Nor to be the only one who invites others to the bread of life. Paul taught us in Ephesians 4:15-16, that we all have our place, our role, our part in the work of the ministry in the church.....AND IT IS SURE NOT A GOSSIPING WORK EITHER.
Brothers and sisters in Christ. Let us now in these last days really love and cherish each other in holy love and to stand by the side of our pastors/preachers/teachers with grateful hearts that such men are still on the earth serving the Lord in a world that Satan is pressing hard upon to turn its direction to antiChrist. We all need to now love and pray for one another, and serve one another in the love of Christ, in the light of His Face which is the presence of the Lord in the Shadow of the Almighty.
Let us repent of our ungodly ways and of our unloving acts that we have committed towards other and towards one another in Christ, and forgive what needs to be forgiving and in this there is much.
Let us lay aside the sin and the weights that keep us from obeying God and pleasing the Lord. You know that way and what that sin is in your heart and life. Behold the Lord is at hand.
And let us all remember what Paul told us that each and every one of us shall stand before Jesus and give our account to Him for all we said and for all we did or did not. Even the secrets of our hearts shall be under the fire of His piercing blazing eyes in judgment formation. But let us also be so thankful for the blood of Jesus that shall save us from our sins and hide away the multitude of wrongs done. For the promise of His Grace Stands, that for the transgressions of My people Christ was stricken, and that the Lord laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all.
Thank God for the Power of the Cross of Christ, His Blood and His Resurrection all done for us. That which is washed in the blood of the Lamb cannot be revealed according the swearing of the Lord. Behold, I remember them no more He promised.Thank God He swore this in His Great Love, Saying that I will be merciful to their transgressions, and their sins and iniquities will I remember NO MORE.
So forgive and we shall be forgiven. Forgive not and sin still lies at the door to be forgiven or to be brought to light. God bless you forevermore with peace and grace abounding. More on the Vision that God gave me in Part 7 to come. It appears that the Lord wanted me to write these words in this one that I have written.....deno.....please share freely.
