Short answers from the Lord.

[dash]

A few months ago I asked the Lord the question:

"Lord what should I do?"

"Change their hearts".

"...How?"

"Look for Me inside of them".

On another day I asked the Lord:

"Lord I don't know what I should do.".

"You will know what to do when the time comes."

On another day I asked the Lord:

"Lord...What do I do?"

"You do what you can when you can".

...Short answers from the Lord

[rosered]

Yes !!!seek the Lord while He can be found and share the  truth in love with  saving grace ,forgive  when you are forgiven !!   :HeartThrob:


Isaiah 55

6-7

6 Seek  the Lord while he may be found, call  upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

the man of sin is exposed , humbled  and shamed and let him  bow the knee to the GOD .

  The man of sin is rebellious , stiffnecked and stubborn ,   always resisting the Holy Spirit   acts 7 ;51

  man of sin  is taken out of the way [binding up and slaying by death to the evil one ]   by  the breath of His coming to us , no more a slave to sin like a brute beast , but BECOME servants of GOD as new creatures in CHRIST .........


I was like a beast before you   wounded and broken  and so angry , I HAVE PRAYED THIS SAME PRAYER TO GOD !!  :sigh:


Psalms 73 ?21When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within, 22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.23Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.?

Job 18:3
Why are we regarded as cattle, as stupid in your sight?

I said to myself, "As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts."


?7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,?

Job 4:9
By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.

Isaiah 11:4
but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide in favor of the earth's oppressed. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.

His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.

Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause deceit to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.

Daniel 11:36
Then the king will do as he pleases and will exalt and magnify himself above every god, and he will speak monstrous things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must be accomplished.

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man will come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

Matthew 16:28
Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

1 Corinthians 1:28
He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

2 Thessalonians 1:9
They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness--the son of destruction--is revealed.

1 Timothy 6:14
Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 Timothy 1:10
And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

2 Timothy 4:1
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months.

Revelation 19:15
And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

Psalms 107 Give Thanks to the LORD, for He is Good
?15Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men. 16For He has broken down the gates of bronze cut through the bars of iron.[/b], in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.?
18They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.?

[dash]

Ecclesiastes 3:18
I said to myself, "As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts."

I can certainly attest to the truth of this!

Praise the King Of Mercy!

1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.

May the Lord's mercy to us not be in vain.

2 Corinthians 1:4
...Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

When the Lord speaks to you, what does it feel like?

And how do you know it is from Him?

Aren't these things difficult to put into words?

Dear brother 
I  am so busy with family today
  but saw you direct question to me  and felt compelled to at least try and answer you asap ,

I talk to Jesus every day in some way or the other , and mostly ask Him questions  , like when I mow the lawn or do dishes or  take a shower ,  cook , lol  I also ask Him to teach me how to please Him ..
sounds nuts and is so personal  actually and very hard to discuss so openly  .

  The still small voice of reason is what I hear mostly ,  Its not my thoughts or my own  answers lol .
  It is strange for sure
sometimes it is like a  rushing wind and clear clean and very precise, that removes all the thinking entirely  .
I am a over thinker and analyze very thing to the T ..  sometimes  Christ takes captive those  worldly  thoughts and binds them up for me  , because I was not able to do it on my own .

I would not be here if the Lord had not intervened  many times .

  Love to hear your  communion  with God ..

  some times dreams and  just a presence , know how it is for you and others here also . there is so much more also , but ..

I very much appreciate your reply, please don't ever feel compelled to rush to respond to me.

What you say is so very interesting to me, thank you for sharing it.

My communication with Jesus.  (I refer to Him as 'Lord' usually since he has become 'Lord' over me) I am pretty much in constant communication with, but like yourself I speak to him more at various times and in depth more-so at different times.

I agree it is very difficult to discuss and discuss openly.

Wow!  What a description.
When I had my answers above (my original post), the words came to me sharp, clean, in a 'wave' (like 'washing' over me) and very precise (as you also say)... It just comes so sudden and 'definite' - Typically not how my own thoughts come to me and so I know they are from the Lord because they make total sense and give me life and wisdom and understanding...and a sound mind. - They provide for me a sensible solution (way) forward.  (Way, truth life!). Ironically!
Often the Lord says in a few simple words what would take books for someone like myself to write. 
(I am not very good at condensing words or explaining my thoughts in a sentence) (though it is something I have been working on for a long time now, since the Scriptures are so 'to the point' - cutting through the unnecessary and I like that very much.

Such as when Paul is stoned (to death many believe? (since this may be when he visited 'paradise')), the book of acts says simply:

,,,They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.
When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town.

...Just like that!
No fuss and yet the man was stoned to the point of death...
But we don't hear about the pain and turmoil or how brave he was or about his possible bad back or how much blood he lost or the part where he got his eyes full of dust or when he felt a bone snap or all the things that a natural 'carnal' man would write about (as he sought praise and a pat on the back and sympathy from his fellow man).
...Tremendous...The Scriptures slice right through all of that and get right to the point - focusing on the task at hand (what we need to know).
Likewise when Jesus 'fasted 40 days and 40 nights and afterwards was...'hungered".
...Yeah...I bet he was! - I think most people couldn't last 4 hours without food nowadays.
Or Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised
What great examples we have in how to truly live.

Truly: 
2 Timothy 3:15
...The Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Just beautiful!

I have had other signs from the Lord but do not discuss them openly for various reasons. 
Some people think it bragging and others can sometimes think someone is something when they are not.
Because we know that the Lord is no respecter of peoples. Romans 2:11 and so anything the Lord has given to one He can give to others.

I am happy to share other experiences in private though.

I really appreciate your answers.

Thank you!

  That is just lovely how you explained those scriptures !!
  They are simplified and  real  , without all the emotions of being human involved .. Never thought of it like that .Thanks !

Hi dash, when you said "'to the point' - cutting through the unnecessary , it jumped out at me, and the reason I believe it did is because, I think about all the things that aren't mentioned, not so much as to wonder 'why' they weren't mentioned, but for the purpose of "the end point has more of an impact on me"

just as when you quoted "he rose and went back into the town.", that in itself has more of an impact after thinking about all that was not mentioned, it is why I believe so many people can miss these gems in Scripture when they just read.

Just wanted to share and thanks for what you said.

Thank you!
It was one day a while back I was reading through some old journals I had kept.
I had spent so much time complaining in them and making a fuss and speaking of all my woes (for future readers to pity me!) - NO fun!  Pathetic!  :laugh:
We are called to be overcomers! 
To make wine out of water (lemonade from a lemon?) 
To glory in afflictions!
I realized - Everyone suffers - I am not unique in that respect!  Indeed, many suffer far more than me and endure it much better! 
I thought: 'Just stick to the facts and you will be respected then by those that are worthy of respect'.
Why does everyone need to know of every lonely night I ever had or my latest ailment! - It seems so silly now!
And here was Paul stoned (to death)? And he just 'rose' and 'went back into the city' (where the inhabitants of it had just stoned him and dragged him out of!)
How can anyone not be inspired by that?
What a great crowd of witnesses (to the truth) we have!
Truly in Christ is the 'real life'.
And truly the Scriptures are inspired by God!

Yes!
And (to me) Paul and the others command more respect because I can use my own imagination to 'try' to imagine the pains they must have endured. 
The fact they don't even count them 'worthy' to be mentioned speaks volumes.
'Scorning the shame'!

Romans 8:18,
For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us;

Romans 5:3
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance...

[rosered]

 

  I appreciate  what you say .
I agree that perseverance must be some kind of good fruit   with reward  to eat more of 

most will  consciously  NOT  eat  literal rotten fruit , even if that is all there is , so they are starving to death or death is the fruit of their doings and that is all they know .


We are all suffering , for doing good and for doing evil     , back than , now , always some kind of food for thought .

  Bearing both images of good   , God and evil  satan adversary or  opposite , corrupt and incorruptible  images  , trees /olive or briar/thorn  trees [we have the honey locust tree here and big ol thorns ] if you get pricked by them you can feel it for days and not edible at all , a Holy Father  and many fathers of the devil [idols , men worshiping  many little mini gods etc.]   judged by their fruits /works ,death and life are in the power of the tongue /   this tree everyone is born under the law of knowledge of good and evil  bearing both  works /fruits , the sting of death is in the poison /harm it causes one to suffer  and when one suffers all suffer because of the sting
  complaining lol bitter fruits
  I hear you brother !!!

plus their are  mature founding fathers , helpers  whom labour in love ,good  seed planters and waterers also 

  those   other fathers,  Paul considered himself to become one , was holy help  for the fatherless and the widow ,true charity  from the heart for the great love and knowledge of God

  this tree of knowledge of both =law   producing good and bad fruit , we have fruit trees here and many times  the frost kills the early fruit , other times it is  drought and they weaken and die off , to me it is some type of sign  that we start right with the Lord and than some how wander off into self  dependance and  without Him we end up with nothing  bearing or to eat  the fruit of our doings .

  But the tree of Life = producing  perfect/completed  fruit


  Paul learned   fast , that  Jesus Words , the things he is going to suffer for His names sake ...

when he was  eating of  the tree of knowledge of good and evil , but thought it was doing God a service


Everyone is born  lawless  and yet innocent , where there is no law their is no sin ,

When the law comes to us  we do die , because it produces knowledge of sin
  so death is a fruit ? tasting death for everyman ?

Hebrews 2 ?

8and placed everything under his feet.?


When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control.


Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.


10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.?

Suffering is humbling  and makes us realize our constant need for Gods   help and grace 

we are   the same in the like and comparing to beggars at the gate like Lazarus , whom God helps

Lazarus Luke 16     As the the rich oppress with their love for money and power  and control  , making that love for self  a contradiction to the TRUTH ,as an adversary  opposing all that is Holy and good .

the  Word teaches us to Love God first , not self first   and love all as yourself secondly . ALL the LAW  and prophets are hung on these two  trees of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of Life

  we can pass from death to life for the love of God first and foremost, whom we have not literally seen but KNOW  spiritually , but  love for the brethren whom we have seen literally , but do not know spiritually .
  some are posers  and it will take some discernment/judgement  for that .
  I recall the Holy Spirit  planting a thought in my mind once ,that said  pain as day  .

  We are to help our  fellowman , in any way we can , but sometimes we have those that no matter how much you help them , they will always need help .
these never learn , they resist the Holy Spirit  , they never come  to the knowledge of the truth  , because you become their own personal savior and will suck you dry , drain all the life in you  and leave you for dead ,   because that is the spirit on them  to use  and abuse and take advantage of  because that is all they know how to do .

they are fake in their sincerity , sinners  that error  greatly and always need you to help them sin ,by piling up more  and more  profit for  them and  you become their supply and also using the little evil  member/ tongue to make you slaves to their sins  to  destroy much good .
love grows cold when  iniquity abounds .

eec 9 Wisdom is Better than Strength
13I have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

14There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.

15Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom.

Yet no one remembered that poor man.

16And I said, ?Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.?

?17The calm words of the wise are heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.

18Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Every MESSENGER  come to warn of Gods judgments coming on the land and at last His Son , and they did whatever they wanted to them harmed used and killed them all.
What more can God do to HELP  these evil spirits learn what truth is?  ,  that continually refuse the HOLY SPIRIT ?

This is why we cannot  blaspheme the Holy Spirit !  there will never be any forgiveness   in the age of those born under the law of the knowledge of good and evil if there is no conviction for sin which the Holy Spirit teaches us to discern what matter of spirit we are of 
  to have ones conscience seared with a hot iron  , is the  way of the world and a lying spirit that deceives our  own hearts  if we fail to LOVE THE TRUTH  first and foremost     

1 Tim

1Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, 2influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

3They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.?


I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people? 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle?I am telling the truth, I am not lying?and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.

Some spirits just hate the truth , the very truth that would set them free from the very slavery to sin !!
WHY ??????? oh Why ?

as long as we are bearing both images  ,corruptible and incorruptible , one will war with the other  within for its rightful place .

I have thought out loud  lol .... I hope you know I mean well brother .

[rosered]

ps , the loosing and binding  by the Holy Spirit WITNESS

I believe Jesus wants us to rejoice  that our names are written in heaven  more than a power to   judge  good and evil .


  I have thought really hard about this  forgiving  and hoping many will come to their senses and see what we  do to each other 
being it good or evil  , and keep on trying to do that good or quit the evil doing and thinking entirely  and 

  learn righteousness  from being on both sides of that path that leads to life ....


I see Paul using this   power of the keys of the kingdom  here to bind up Alexander the coppersmith
  and be held to some kind of judgment  for his own sake .

many times  folks do not know what evil they are exuding  towards the cause of Christ   , those antichrist spirits all over

matt 18 A Brother who Sins
?17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. 18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.?

Matthew 16:19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

John 20:23
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld."


2Tim 4 14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.


      16At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. 17But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion?s mouth.


18The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Knowing the power to judge right is from Gods Wisdom and trusting God to protect you from the evil one [ones]   and giving God his glory and  a thankful heart for doing so .

  crushing satan's head shortly   will come from the LORD Himself  , HIS BODY , the church  is the woman  whose seed is an enemy warring  between the two types of seeds , wheat and tares  or good and evil seed  and the woman is saved though child bearing [Gen 3 ]  the holy ones when the Holy Spirit breathes on them   from what I have gathered already ,  it is my own opinion though reading the scriptures hopefully correctly .   Rev 12 Signifies  those born of the Spirit of God whom keep the commandments of HIS  Word of the Lord and His testimony ..


  I see Stephen  also forgiving and not holding it to the mans charge  when he was stoned to death  in Acts 7 
so two examples of the  power to bind and loose on earth as it is in heaven

  I wonder if it is  young   Saul/ Paul whom had his voice lifted up against  Stephen to have him  stoned was going to prick his conscience  later on because of Stephens forgiving them  ?

  Acts 22

19?Lord,? I answered, ?they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.

20And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.

21Then He said to me, ?Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.? ??

  the Word is full of  love in action , so many examples to learn from

 

[dash]

most will  consciously  NOT  eat  literal rotten fruit , even if that is all there is , so they are starving to death or death is the fruit of their doings and that is all they know .

Well said.
And I'd like to add ...
...UNLESS they have been deceived as you say (unconsciously/not aware of doing so).  As is the case with 'literal' food nowadays which is full of toxins/GMO garbage etc.  But if someone sees a 'rotton apple' they would avoid it.
The tree in the garden was 'desireable' much like nice looking genetically modified toxic rubbish. - But people don't search for Truth/God...

We are all suffering , for doing good and for doing evil     , back than , now , always some kind of food for thought .

Yes!  Either way we suffer, and it is better to suffer for going good than doing evil as we know!

[we have the honey locust tree here and big ol thorns ] if you get pricked by them you can feel it for days and not edible at all ,

:eek:

a Holy Father  and many fathers of the devil [idols , men worshiping  many little mini gods etc.]   judged by their fruits /works ,death and life are in the power of the tongue /   this tree everyone is born under the law of knowledge of good and evil  bearing both  works /fruits , the sting of death is in the poison /harm it causes one to suffer  and when one suffers all suffer because of the sting
  complaining lol bitter fruits
  I hear you brother !!!

I always think a good way to picture how sin causes death is to consider how when we are joyful and doing good we 'feel good' and alive and life is worth living and we feel more healthy etc...We  also live longer. - I've seen people get a new lease of life etc.
When we are miserable and have done something wrong we feel bad and 'dead inside' and our health suffers etc. I've seen people die of a broken heart.
Taken to the extreme the question must be asked where does this road lead?

Suffering is humbling  and makes us realize our constant need for Gods   help and grace 

Yes, it's not pleasant but essential. - Refines us.

the  Word teaches us to Love God first , not self first   and love all as yourself secondly .

And the thing about this is that loving God is loving 'love'.
And loving 'love' means we put 'love first', and thus IS loving ourselves and others the best.

Every MESSENGER  come to warn of Gods judgments coming on the land and at last His Son , and they did whatever they wanted to them harmed used and killed them all.
What more can God do to HELP  these evil spirits learn what truth is?  ,  that continually refuse the HOLY SPIRIT ?

And it is the 'word' that will judge them on the last day.
...There will be no excuses.

This is why we cannot  blaspheme the Holy Spirit !  there will never be any forgiveness   in the age of those born under the law of the knowledge of good and evil if there is no conviction for sin which the Holy Spirit teaches us to discern what matter of spirit we are of 
  to have ones conscience seared with a hot iron  , is the  way of the world and a lying spirit that deceives our  own hearts  if we fail to LOVE THE TRUTH  first and foremost     

The great 'apostasy' is upon us.
Back in March I woke up one morning and said: "Hey come on! Wake up!  This is a joke right?!"  And I spent five minutes pinching myself to try to wake up out of the insanity.

But the Lord keeps my mind sound and I know I will walk through this peacefully and gracefully if I keep my eye on Him and not the storm because He showed me this.

Some spirits just hate the truth , the very truth that would set them free from the very slavery to sin !!
WHY ??????? oh Why ?

The d-evil is making a fool of many right now.  Yes there is no reward in evil...
The scales are about to tip sister...
Jupiter...Saturn... It's almost time.

I have thought out loud  lol .... I hope you know I mean well brother .

But I am not the best at staring at screen for too long so i will reply to the rest another time.
