Division or Denominations?

On the following few pages, I have tried to bring out the importance of being in total unity with each other.

The Word of God clearly says that we are one body, with Christ as it's Head. Though we are one body, we do have many members that make up this body, just as our own physical body has many members to it, but we are still one body.

Every part of our body has to agree on where it's going, and how to get there. All parts have to be going the same direction, to be able to get to the same place.

If my right leg went to the right, and my left leg went to the left, I would be split up and not go anywhere. If my right leg went to the left, and my left leg went to the right, I would be all twisted up and still go nowhere; every part must be in agreement on where to go, and how to get there, to get there.

The few scriptures on these pages concerning Division and Unity are, by far, not all there are in the Word concerning this subject, but I pray that the ones I have listed will light a spiritual fire under all of us, to wake up to the fact that these divisions must stop, so that God's true love may flow through us to each other and to the world, for without this true love, God's full power cannot operate to the extent He has intended.

We need God's kind of love to be able to win the lost ones of this world, and as I have said earlier, we need God's kind of love flowing through us in order for God's full power to operate through us, the kind of power with signs and wonders following.

And if I have prophetic powers - - that is, the gift of interpreting the Divine Will and Purpose; and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and posses all knowledge, and if I have (sufficient) faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love(God's love in me) I am nothing - - a useless nobody. (I Corinthians 13: AMP.)

In First Timothy, the Lord tells us not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God, which is by faith. But the goal of our instruction is Love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion. (I Timothy 1:5-6 - NAS)

There are too many leaders in this body that have leaned to their own understanding rather than being led by God's Holy Spirit.

These "leaders" do agree on one thing though, and that is that they disagree.

That is sad news though, considering the Lord has said to be in one mind, in one spirit, and in one accord.

I pray that you invite the Holy Spirit to read this with you, and that He will lead you to the Truth. The truth will set us all free; who the Son has set free is free indeed.

It is your choice, however; God does not force His will or His ways upon us. I pray that we all see the damage of division, that we all be led to the truth and that we all choose life.

Unity is God's way, not division in any way shape or form.

And He gave some as Apostles, and some as Prophets, and some as Evangelists, and some as Pastors and Teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the Body of Christ; until we all attain to the Unity of the Faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. (Eph. 4:11-13 NAS)

In another scripture in Eph., the Lord says: to be diligent to preserve the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. (Eph. 4:3 NAS)

People, I don't see any room at all for division in the Body of Christ. Again, Invite the Holy Spirit as you read; He will guide you into all truth. Again, it is your choice; please choose life.

I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days (Deuteronomy 30:19-20A NAS)

People, we need to start obeying His voice concerning division; we need to repent and make straight the Way of the Lord. Choose life, so that the whole body can grow up together into the fullness of Jesus Christ our Lord.

DEFINITIONS

I know that this may be a lot of definitions to some words we already know, but, when you look at their meanings and then line them up with the Word of God, you will see that these are things we should not be doing. The Word of God comes full force against divisions and people who practice them. Is it any wonder that God's power isn't operating in full capacity as in the days of Jesus, Peter, John, Stephen, Philip, and Paul?

Romans Chap. 16:17-18, 19b gives us a few words about this matter. 17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their belly; and good words and fair speeches deceive the heart of the simple. 19b. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Titus Chap. 3:10-11 also has a few words on this matter.

10. As for a man who is factious a heretical sectarian and cause of divisions - - after admonishing him a first and second time, reject him from your fellowship and have nothing to do with him, 11. well aware that such a person has utterly changed - - is perverted and corrupted; he goes on sinning though he is convicted of guilt and self condemned. (AMP Version)

When we go with these divisions, denominations, sects, whatever you want to call them, we are pulling away from God and His power, the power we need to be able to bring souls into the Kingdom of God. The Definition of the word, sect, really stands out, a religious group separated from an established church.

God has already established His Church, complete with apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. Christ came born of a virgin, lived and walked among us, died on Calvary, rose from the dead three days later, is now seated at the right Hand of God and is constantly making intercession for us.

In doing this He (Jesus), paid the price and paved the way for salvation, forgiveness of sins, baptism of the Holy Spirit, grace, mercy, healing, deliverance, prosperity, and Gifts of the Holy Spirit, thus establishing His Church with an administration and everything pertaining to Life and Godliness.

The Father has given us these leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers) for the equipping of the saints (us), for the Work of Service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the Unity of the Faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a Mature man, to the measure of the Stature which belongs to the Fullness of Christ.
We, as the Children of God, are to attain to the Unity of the Faith, not split up into denominations (sects), thus being divided. Man has established his church, and that has separated us from God's already established Church. The way the denominational church is set up today, it is doing nothing but putting a partition between us and the Lord.

This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. (Matthew 15:8-9 NAS)

Jesus had a few words to say about the religious people;

Matthew 23:13-15 (NAS):

13. But woe to you, scribes and pharisees, because you shut off the Kingdom of Heaven from men; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in,
14. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, even while for a pretense you make long prayer; therefore, you shall receive greater condemnation.
15. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel about on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourself.

Matthew 23:24-33 (NAS)

24. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self indulgence.
26. You blind pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.
27. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful but inside they are full of dead man's bones and all uncleanness.
28. Even so you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29. Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30. and say, if we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.
31. Consequently, you bear witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
32. Fill up then the measure of the guilt of your fathers.
33. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how shall you escape the sentence of hell?

Sounds like Jesus has some strong words to say to those who hinder His children from reaching His Father's Kingdom. Didn't He?

Division is a hinderence!

The BODY OF CHRIST is to be in one mind, one spirit and in one accord! NOT DIVIDED up into sects!

PHILIPPIANS 1:27 says this:

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent I may hear of you that you are standing firm in ONE SPIRIT, WITH ONE MIND STRIVING TOGETHER for the faith of the gospel.

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-2 says:

If, therefore, there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the SAME MIND, MAINTAINING THE SAME LOVE, UNITED IN SPIRIT INTENT ON ONE PURPOSE.

This doesn't sound like DIVISION to me; does it to you? The Apostle Paul had to address this problem in 1 Corinthians, Chap. 1, Vs. 10-16. I believe that if Paul or someone who believed God and trusted Him were here at the birth of these denominations (divisions, sects), They would not be here today.

1 Corinthians Chap. 1:10-16 (10). Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all AGREE, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made COMPLETE IN THE SAME MIND AND IN THE SAME JUDGMENT. (11). For I have been informed concerning you, (12). Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying I am of Paul, and I am of Apollos, and I am of Cephus, and I am of Christ. (13). Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (14) I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, (15) that no man should say you were baptized in my name. (16). Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

We are a many-membered body, but we are STILL ONE BODY!

Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, and you will find this to be true; it is the same Spirit that worketh all in all.

To be in division like this, with each other, it is really being in disagreement with Christ, and with the Word of God, because He says not to be divided. God's power cannot flow in abundance like it did when Christ, Peter, John, Stephen, Philip and Paul walked this earth, with signs and wonders following.

Where is this power that they operated in? Has it left? Did God run out of this awesome kind of power, that enabled Peter to preach and then 3,000 souls were saved and baptized in one day, then preach again and 5,000 were saved?

NO NO NO NO NO!

GOD'S CALL IS WITHOUT REPENTANCE ! ! ! !

These denominations, divisions, sects, whichever you choose to call them, have clogged up that spiritual drain pipe which flows down from Heaven. God's power cannot flow in abundance as long as you are in division.

If someone is to stay in sin, they will not hear the trump blow, you will be left here, Christ is coming for a church, body, bride without spot or blemish; division is a filthy spot that needs to be removed!! Time is at hand; we need that awesome power of God to be able to preach to this crooked and perverse world with effectiveness and with results, the same results that Jesus, Peter, John, Stephen, Philip and Paul all had! This is possible. Christ said,

IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD, THEN ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED; AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE. (JOHN 8:31-32)

He also said that He is Holy and that we should be Holy; Christ is our example, and we should do everything needed to follow that example. CHRIST IS NOT DIVIDED!

The Apostle Paul also addressed the problem of division among believers in a different manner.

Ephesians 2:10-22 (NAS) says this: (10). For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (11). Therefore, remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by the so-called "circumcision", which is performed in the flesh by human hands; (12). Remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the Commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the Covenants of Promise, having no hope and without God in the world. (13). But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the Blood of Christ. (14). For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, (15). by abolishing in His Flesh the enmity, which is the Law of Commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace. (16). and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.(17). And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; (18). For through Him, we both have our access in One Spirit to the Father. (19). So that you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the Saints, and are of God's household, (20). having been built upon the foundation of the apostles, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, (21). in whom the whole building being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord; (22). in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit clearly states that we all have been brought near by the Blood of Christ.

Why then are we split up into different denominations (divisions, sects)?

The Word says we are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and are of God's Household.

Why then are we split up and divided in our praise and worship to our God? Why do you call yourselves Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, and so forth?

We are of the Household of God; we are God's children! Not the names we have given to these sects.

People, it is high time we call these "sects" what they really are: SIN.

Sin with a capital S I N !

We are God's children, and as members of his household need to start calling sin, sin and quit color-coating it with the doctrines and precepts of men; they will send anyone who abides by them straight to hell.

We are to build together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit how can He do this if we stay divided, set apart from the members of our own household? We need to let go of these doctrines and precepts of men that have divided us; let go and let God! Let the Lord bring us all together, united in one spirit, in one mind and in one accord, intent on the same purpose as he has intended.These divisions will kill all those who don't wake up and leave these ungodly doctrines; again, they will lead straight to hell.

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore, I was grieved with that generation, and said, they do always err in their heart; and they have not know my ways.

So I Swear in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest! People, Wake up and let go and let God.

Seek Him every moment of every day, and get to know His ways; God is not divided; this is not His way. Wake up, people!

While it is said, today if ye shall hear His voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation. Those of us who do wake up and believe do enter into rest, as He said, I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. People, wake up! Let us labor, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Again, children, wake up! Christ has broken down the barrier of the dividing wall. Why do we insist on building them up again and again and again?

Stop believing these lies that Satan has fed you.
Division is not of God!

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and brings into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

These divisions, (denominations, sects) are nothing less than man's idea exalting itself above the knowledge of God. We need to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. This is the same reason that satin was cast out of heaven, trying to exalt himself above God!!! The truth is, Christ has broken down the barrier of the dividing wall. Cast down these imaginations, let go of them, rebuke them in the name of Jesus, and let God do and finish that which He has started.

Get in His Word! Use the sword in the name of Jesus and pull down these strongholds.

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.

A REMNANT

I know that some will say, you can't just get rid of denominations, to some extent, they are right. If Jesus had wanted these bad things gone, He would have gotten rid of them when He was on this earth. God cannot go against His own Word, He created us with a choice. If we didn't have something to choose from, what need would there be for us to have the gift of choice?

Take a look back at the garden of Eden, even then a choice was set before man, the Tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.Even though the Lord plainly said, don't eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because this would lead to death, and put enmity between God and man, He (God), still didn't remove the tree, even though this tree was bad for man if he was to eat it, and even though He knew that man would eat of it, IT STILL STOOD!!

God is bound by His Own Word, He will not go against it. Some people say that God can do what ever He wants to, He's God, But, they are so wrong, and I, for one, am so glad they are!! It is impossible for God to go against Himself, a house divided against itself, will fall, and God shall never fall!!!

Now, lets go on up in time, to when Jesus walked this earth. He was faced with all kinds of teaching contrary to the good news of the Kingdom of God in which He was preaching. He could have called upon angels at any time to get rid of all the garbage, but He didn't do that, He couldn't go against His own Word. He went right on preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God, but, He also made it perfectly clear, that, what the religious people of the day were teaching and doing,were wrong.

He didn't just stand by and say, oh well, people will be people, He gave them the truth, concerning everything and all things!! People, It's the truth that sets one free, and just as Jesus went about proclaiming the truth, so will I, and the truth about these denominations is, they are sin, they are not of God, never were and never will be, get out while you still can. You might say, if these denominations are still going to be here, and they are sin, then how can Christ come for His Church? There are going to be people that no matter what you may tell them, are still going to hang on to the ignorance they have learned, that is very sad but true, the saddest thing about it is, that the Word declares, that God no longer winks at ignorance, there is no excuse, they can no longer claim, they didn't know, and my friend, they are just plain out-right stupid!

They are hanging on to their stupid pride, vain traditions and rudiments of this world, they wouldn't know Jesus, if He came up and slapped them in the face!!! You might think that, that sounds like a harsh thing to say, but, when you look at how Jesus responded to these religious people, it don't even come close to what He has to say about it. If you look at the Word, you will find that, He didn't come against the people of the world, He came against the religious leaders, and in a hard way. Why do you think this is?

Because, these so-called leaders, are supposed to be leading the flock. They are leading them allright, right into the pit, countless people are following these so-called leaders because they think that they are correct in what they are telling them, Jesus had another way of putting it, blind leading the blind, and they both shall fall into the ditch.

Thousands of people going right into hell, needlessly, all because they believed what a so-called leader said. Woe be unto the shepherds, that feedeth not My flock!!!! Countless of so-called leaders, shall have the blood of thousands of thousands upon their head. So, no, it's not a harsh thing to say. Thousands of souls are being lost!!!

But, hold on to you socks, there's good news!! The Lord has a remnant, a remnant that is going to go through this land, like we have never seen. A people that will get rid of themselves, their ideas, their opinions and cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. A people that will let God be God, they will not put Him in a box, but they shall let Him flow through them on the behalf of others, the Holy Spirit shall work mighty things through their hands, for they have been in constant fellowship with Him, they know His voice and obey it.

Lets look at the word "FELLOWSHIP". If I have fellowship with my brother, then, this means that I am talking with him, not to him, but with him, he must talk back in order to have fellowship.

The word for FELLOWSHIP, as used in 1st. John 1, is the Greek word KOINONIA, meaning, partnership, participation, to communicate, communion, distribution, fellowship.

All these meanings denote an interaction, to actively be involved with someone else. In the instance I am relating to, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we can see how we need to be actively involved with Him, and notice this also means that He is actively involved with us as well, or where would the fellowship be?

This remnant that I have been speaking of, have been in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit, interacting with Him, getting to know His voice, making Him the center of their life. They have been allowing Him to guide and direct them as the Word says that He will do, they have been allowing the Holy Spirit to show them their own flaws and faults, not the faults of someone else, they have been inviting the Holy Spirit in to their lives everyday, their life is not their own, it belongs to Christ, for, they have learned the true meaning of being bought with a price.

They are not leaning to their own understanding, they are going forth, being obedient to what the Holy Spirit says, standing strong in the power of the Holy Ghost, not their own. They have been undergoing training, but not the training that schools could even think of offering, they've been in the deserts and in the mountains, listening to Thus Sayeth The Lord and obeying His every command.

This remnant shall show forth the Saviours Love, they shall show forth the Saviours Power, they shall show forth the Saviours Grace and Mercy and shall sing out the Saviours Praise.

They shall march across this land, laying hands on the sick, and they shall recover, demons shall be cast out, yokes shall be broken off the necks of this people and they shall deliver them from the oppression of the devil, for they shall go forth as Jesus did, because they are not in their own strength, they are in His!!

FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD WOULD SAY TO YOU. IT'S IN THE WIND OF MY SPIRIT, THE GREAT AND MIGHTY MOVE OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. IT'S NOT BY MIGHT NOR POWER OF MAN, IT'S BY MY SPIRIT, DELIVERANCE IS AT HAND. SHOW FORTH YOUR PRAISE, IN UNSELFISH LOVE, AND SEE MY SPIRIT MOVE AT THE TOUCH OF THY HAND, YOU SHALL CONQUER THE EVIL IN THIS LAND, FOR YOU ARE THE REMNANT OF YOUR GOD. YOU ARE MY PEOPLE, AND I AM YOUR GOD, OBEY MY STATUTES, AND HEED TO MY LAW, AND I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE IN THIS EVIL DAY. BEHOLD, THE TIME HAS COME, SO DON'T GO ASTRAY, BEHOLD, MY CHILD, MY SON IS AT THE DOOR. YOUR WEARY HEART IN FEAR, SHALL CRY NEVER MORE, FOR YOU ARE THE REMNANT OF YOUR GOD, YES YOU ARE THE REMNANT OF YOUR GOD, SAY'S THE LORD OF HOST.

What a Word!! Some people may think, that the word remnant, only applies to the people of Israel, the Jewish people, but I've got news for you. If we are indeed bought by the blood of the Lamb, have honestly made Jesus Christ the Lord of our life, then the Word says that we have become the sons of God, which makes Jesus our Brother as well as Lord and Saviour, If He is our Brother, then we have became what He is. People, the Word says, that Jesus was born a Jew, walked according to Jewish law, according to the law that God gave the people to follow , then in all reality, we too are a Jew.

The Word also declares, that, we have been grafted into a good olive tree. Lets look at the book of Romans just a little.

Romans 11:16-24

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

What an all Powerful God, who could take us, who were wild by nature, and graft us into His well groomed, good Olive Tree, a tree that is full of Life, for Jesus is our Tree Of Life. Most people think that you need some sort of schooling to be able to do Gods bidding, in some respect they are right. But, it's most often not the kind of school that man would think, it's called H.G.University, the University of the Holy Ghost.

These are the people (the remnant) who have been out seeking the Lord and His ways, not leaning to their own understanding, not holding to the doctrines and precepts of this world. For the most part, these people have remained unknown to most of the world, but, God is in the middle of sending them out, sending them out in His Power and in His Might, for these people of God know that they can't do things on their own, they know that, unless the branch abide in the Vine, it shall wither and dry up, and be cast into the fire.

For the most part, most people call them, black sheep, but they that do, don't have eyes to see or do they have ears to hear. What a stubborn and stiff-necked people! They try to figure the God of all creation out with their inconsequential worldly minds, they try to interpret Spiritual matters with a carnal mind.

Woe be to them who come against the prophets and the anointed remnant in this last hour, for the Lord has already said in His Word,

TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED, AND DO MY PROPHETS NO HARM.

Some might think that, that was the Old Testament, SINCE WHEN DID GOD CHANGE?

His Word declares, Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.

What the Lord said so many years ago, STILL APPLIES TODAY.

God doesn't change His Word or His mind like so many men like to do, His Word stands sure from generation to generation, the Word declares that, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but, My Word shall never pass away, NEVER MEANS NEVER!!! These so-called leaders, had better choose their words very carefully, or else they may find themselves fighting against the very One they are very feebly trying to proclaim.

Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. :4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

Again, the Word of the Lord has NOT CHANGED, the Lord gets just as mad today at the pastors that don't feed the flock, as He did back then, again, I can't stress it enough, the Word will never change.

When someone stands up behind a pulpit, they had better make sure beyond any doubt, that what they are saying is coming straight from THE THRONE OF GOD, or they had better step down, and let God put someone up there who knows His voice and will proclaim THUS SAITH THE LORD, if you don't you are standing on very dangerous ground!!

Ezekiel 34:1-10

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

As we can see, the Lord don't take to kindly to someone not feeding His flock, this is a very important office, they are to be feeding the people of God which means, that every word they say is supposed to be coming straight from the Lord, not their ideas or opinions, not the traditions and doctrines of this world.

NO ANOINTING!!!

Their ideas or opinions and things based upon the traditions and doctrines of this world, WILL NOT HEAL THE SICK, THEY WILL NOT BREAK THE BANDS OF WICKEDNESS, THEY WON'T OPEN BLIND EYES, {physical or spiritual} THEY WON'T CAUSE THE DEAF TO HEAR, {physical or spiritual} THEY WON'T DELIVER PEOPLE FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THE DEVIL and they certainly will not bring man to REPENTANCE, which of course, would bring them to a closer walk with the Lord, allowing the door to remain open for them to be in the Presence of the Lord.

Is it any wonder then, why the Lord has such strong things to say to those who are supposed to be feeding the flock? In Ezekiel 34:10 the Word declares, that He would get rid of those shepherds that were not feeding His flock, this is why I said what I said earlier, and I know beyond any shadow of doubt that is this from the Lord, IF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING FROM THAT PULPIT, IS NOT FROM THE THRONE OF GOD, STEP DOWN, please, before the Lord has to do it, and make known to everyone that He has had to remove you from the position that you are in, and He will do it indeed, according to what He has said in His Word!!!

Please don't misunderstand me, my intention, I should say, I am not against you, my desire and my prayer, is that if you see that this is what is happening to you, and your not sure if what you are saying is from the Throne, that you would repent and seek His Face, and stand in that pulpit in the power and might of His strength, not your own, then you shall know beyond any doubt, that you are feeding His flock.

Enough said about those who don't feed the flock, lets look at what the Word says;

Jeremiah 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

HE WILL SEE TO IT!!!

Boy, it sure is nice knowing that we have such a loving Father, He will see to it that we all get fed. This is where the remnant comes in, they have been in the Presence of the Lord, being taught by the Holy Spirit, and yes, there is ministries right now already going, that are indeed showing forth the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, but, compared to the many who say they are Christian, there are but a very few who are actually, CHRIST-LIKE.

This is a very good reason why they are called a remnant, there are so few who are actually being like Christ, listening to the Spirit and obeying what He tells them. The Lord said He will set up shepherds that will feed His flock, there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, His Word shall not return unto Him void, it will accomplish that in which He pleases, and we know that it is His will that His flock be fed, we know, {or should I say, should know} that it is His will that people receive their healing, we know that He wants the yokes of bondage broken, we know that He wants us delivered, and we should know above all, that He wish's that none should perish, but have eternal life. People, this cannot be accomplished with just words.

The Word declares

1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

POWER!!!

In order for the Glory and Power of the Lord to be present in ones life and ministry, he must be in the presence of the Lord, in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit, that's the only thing that will bring the anointing to heal, to deliver, to break the bands of wickedness, to break the yokes of bondage and to convict people of their sin and therefore bringing them into right standing with the Father. It's the anointing that breaks the yokes!!!

WHAT CHOICE???

People, this world is tired of hearing mans opinion of what they think God is, they are tired of hearing junk over the TV. and radio. If you think about it, what kind of choice do they really have? There are so many denominations, and all of them say they are right, this can't be, in fact, they are all wrong. Look at the division, strife and confusion they cause among the people, it's no wonder the world don't want to come to church. What kind of choice is this, to stay at home in their own garbage pile, or to go somewhere and get even more confused?

Thank God the Father, for the remnant that He is sending forth, because, this world needs to see JESUS, and this remnant shall go forth just like Jesus did, not doing their own will, but, doing whatever they are instructed of the Father, leaning totally on God the Father, then this world will have a honest choice to make. They will have the choice between the garbage they are in, or JESUS, not what man may say that Jesus is or was, but, JESUS!!!!!!!!

EAR TO HEAR!

I know that some will disagree with what has been said, but that's allright, no I'm not going to agree that we disagree, but I will say this, Jesus always said, TO THEM THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Even still I know that some will not hear, but mark this, the trumpet of the watchman, has been sounded, there will be no excuse come Judgment Day!!!

In the 58th chapter of Isaiah, we a find a few more things the Lord has to say about what we are supposed to be doing. The people of that time, thought they were doing right too, but we find that, they were far from being right.

Isaiah 58:1

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Isaiah 58:8

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

CRY ALOUD!!!

Notice the very first thing that the Lord said, CRY ALOUD, SPARE NOT, LIFT UP THY VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET, AND SHOW MY PEOPLE THEIR TRANSGRESSION, AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB THEIR SINS.

People, I'm trying my best to CRY ALOUD, these divisions, have got to stop. Again, I know that they will be those who are going to stick by them, as long as they live, all I can do, is pray for them, that the eyes of their understanding be enlightened.

RIGHT FAST!

Take a good look a what we are supposed to be doing.

The Lord says, IS NOT THIS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens,and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? And He goes on to say, TO DEAL THY BREAD TO THE HUNGRY, BRING THE POOR THAT ARE CAST OUT TO THY HOUSE, COVER THE NAKED, HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THINE OWN SELF.

People, there is so much in these scriptures, I don't think there is enough paper to wright it all down.

This is somewhat self explanatory, I think everyone can agree that the Lord wants everyone, free from the effects of the devil. But, lets look at verse 7.

Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

SPIRIT OR FLESH???

Most people think they have this all figured out, but, for the most part they don't. I am by no means saying, that we should not feed the hungry, or help the poor, or to help cloth those who have no clothes, BUT, what is the Lords number one concern? is it not that their SPIRIT BE FED? or THAT THE POOR AND CAST OUT BE BROUGHT INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND THAT THEY BE CLOTHED WITH A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS?

I know of a certainty, that it is!!!

A REMNANT

It should appear evident by now, by what we have seen talking about the remnant, that we are to give the people Jesus and nothing but Jesus. It should be very evident, that, the Lord wants His people fed, remember what He said to those who didn't feed His flock?

WOE BE TO THE SHEPHERDS THAT FEED NOT MY FLOCK!

It's kind of like that old saying; give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day, but, teach him how to fish, and he will eat all his life. We must show forth Christ Jesus how He really is, not what some may say He is, then, the people will want to receive Him as their Lord and Saviour, they will want to learn all they can about Him, and do you remember what Jesus said about Bread to start with?

John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Jesus is The Bread of Life!!!

This is the Bread that we are supposed to be giving the people, did you notice the response of the disciples? LORD EVERMORE GIVE US THIS BREAD!!! When we truly get out of division, and show forth Christ Jesus, I am convinced that more people than not, will have the same response. This is the Bread we are to deal to the people!

Household of God!!!

Now, lets look at the next few Words, BRING THE POOR WHO ARE CAST OUT TO THY HOUSE. To me, this looks plain as day, we are to bring them into the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and this will bring them into the HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, then they too, will be of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH;

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

POOR???

Ok, this takes care of whose house they are to go to, but, what about the being poor part?

James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

2 Corinthians 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

We should be able to see, that the Lord don't measure according to our methods, or standards.He don't look upon us like this world does.

GODS SUCCESS!!!

Our success, according to the Lord, is measured according to how rich we are in Him. How strong are we standing in faith, are we striving to Know Him more, are we becoming more like Him, growing more and more into His nature, are we obeying His every command, when people see you, do they see you or do they see Jesus?

GODS RICHES!!!

Just how rich are you in Him? The Word declares, we have been blessed with every Spiritual Blessing in Heaven, my friend, that's a lot of blessing, that's a lot of riches.

These are the riches that we are to give to the people, worldly money aint worth the paper it's printed on, it won't hold up, it won't stand the test of time, but, Gods riches, will never fade away. The Word declares, that we should take no thought, concerning what we shall eat or ware.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

The Word declares, that the Lord would take care of these things, if we seek His Kingdom first.

Matthew 6:33-34

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The Lord also said in a another place in His Word.

Philippians 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Man, what Paul said in 2 Cor. really stands out to me, as poor, but yet making many rich. People, again, it's not our money that does the most good, it's the richness and fullness of Christ Jesus. This, will last through all eternity, a hundred bucks will go in less than an hour, give people the Gift of Life, the Rich Full Life of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

NAKED??

Now, lets go on to the next few lines; WHEN THOU SEEST THE NAKED, COVER HIM.

Again, keeping in mind, Gods number one concern, what is it that we should cover him with? People, even the best made clothes will ware-out, at some point in time, and again, not that we shouldn't cloth those who have no clothes, for if we are truly following the Lords Commands, we will clothe them, feed them, help them out any way that we can, it has been commanded by the Holy Spirit to do so.

GARMENT OF SALVATION

What the people need is, clothes that will not ware out. If we have been following the fist half of these scriptures, that we have been looking at, this is possible.

If the bread we have dealt to them is the Bread of Life, JESUS, then, they have been brought into the HOUSEHOLD OF GOD, and are partakers of GODS RICHES, if this has been done, then, they have been put into right-standing with the Father, they have been CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Zechariah 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

In this scripture, the Lord was talking to Joshua, taking his filthy garments off him, and placing very fine clothes upon him, clothes that would show who he was, and Whose he was, He went on to say that he {Joshua}, would be a judge of His people, an High Priest.

The Word declares, that we have been made Kings and Priest and that we are a Royal Priesthood, man, what a garment to be clothed with, THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Not only are we clothed with the Robe of Righteousness, but, He has also clothed us with the GARMENTS OF SALVATION.

Isaiah 61:10-11

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Job 29:14

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

Isaiah 59:17

For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

2 Corinthians 5:1-3

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked

1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble

Ephesians 6:10

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 6:14 stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

We could go on and on concerning the clothes, the Lord has provided for us to ware, but I think you should get what the Lord is telling us by now. Give them clothes that don't ware out!

The Lord has given us all the clothes we need, and has even given armor, to protect us from whatever the enemy may through at us. Of course this armor don't do us any good unless we put it on. Oh the importance of all the garments in which He has provided, these are what we should clothe the people with, garments that don't ware-out. MIRROR IMAGE???

Now, lets look at the last line in this verse. HIDE NOT THYSELF FROM THIN OWN FLESH.

We as Christians, are to take a good close look at ourselves, are we doing what the Lord says to do, with the right attitude, with the right motive, is it because we honestly love people, or do we like the attention that it may bring? People the worst kind of deception is when one deceives himself, we all need to take a real close look at what we do, and, why we do it, we need to keep ourselves in check at all times, not just a casual look in the mirror every now and then, but, constantly.

Matthew 23:24-28

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

People, we have got to make certain that every word and every thing we do is ordered of the Lord, we can't afford to give the devil no place, no place at all. You might think, what does these last few pages got to do with a remnant, well, much in every way.

The remnant have been before the Lord, putting Him first place in everything that they do, they also have been looking in the mirror, and keeping a constant eye on their spiritual well being.

They have totally surrendered to the Holy Spirit, they have been coming unto the Lord with a humble heart seeking His face and getting instructions and directions, hearing the Word at His mouth.

And He has told them; Feed the people Jesus, bring them unto Me, and I will make them rich, and I will cloth them with the very finest garments in all of Heaven, all their bands of wickedness will be loosed, I will receive all their burdens, for I, the Lord thy God, care for them, the oppressed will go free, and the anointing that shall run through the hands of My remnant, shall break every yoke, for I the Lord thy God, have Spoken it.

HUMBLE THYSELF!!!

People, we all need to humble ourselves, and come before the Lord, in a way like most have never even thought of, let alone do. In this Last Hour, if we want to continue on with the Lord, we really have no choice, those who love Him will obey His commands.

We have got to repent of being so slack concerning the things of God, too many people crying, too many people dieing. The devil knows his time is up, lets get on with it people, and do the work that Jesus said to do.

REPENT, AND HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD, BEFORE IT'S TO LATE, IT IS THE LAST HOUR, THE TRUMP SHALL SOON BLOW, WILL HE FIND YOU DOING WHAT HE HAS COMMANDED YOU TO DO?

James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

1 Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 23:12And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Proverbs 16:17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

People, from cover to cover, He calls us to repentance and to humble ourselves, please repent, and humble yourself, we need to get out of these divisions, and all those that do, will start to walk as Jesus did, with signs and wonders following, you will be a part of this remnant the Lord is sending out.

Notice the Scriptures we have been looking at in Ezekiel, Jeramiah and Isaiah. Can you see that this same thing goes on into the New Testament?

This same theme spoken in these Old Testament scriptures, is the same thing Jesus was talking about in the 25th chapter of Matthew. Lets look at all these scriptures together, and we can begin to see the importance of what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell us.

Isaiah 58:6

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

FROM COVER TO COVER

Matthew 25:31

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Jeremiah 23:1

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

Ezekiel 34:7

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

SHEPHERDS THAT WILL FEED

Jeremiah 23:3

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

Ezekiel 34:11

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

CONSTANT FELLOWSHIP

People, the conformity of these scriptures can't be denied, they are blending together, in perfect harmony. How anyone can denie this, is beyond me. The Lord wants His people fed, and it's up to those who know how and know what to feed them, to feed them, and of course the only way to know how or what to feed, come's through constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit

If you are letting other things get in your way of coming into fellowship with the Holy Spirit, then REPENT, THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME SAITH THE LORD OF HOST!!!

The verses in Matthew make it very clear, if we don't feed, or cloth, set those who are in the prison of their wickedness, bound hand and foot by the devil, free, and if we don't lay hands on the sick so they can recover, and deliver them from their disease, then, you had better get ready to hear, DEPART FROM ME, YE CURSED, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE, PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.

People, the Lord means business, too many people crying, too many people dieing, we must show forth Jesus, He is the only one who can save them.

Allow Him to work through you on the behalf of others, put down your selfish pride, and again, come unto Him with a humble heart, get into constant fellowship with Him, please don't delay, this is the last hour.

People, it is a shame and a disgrace that division has gone on for so long. Wake up! In the third chapter of Colossians, the Holy Spirit says to lie not to one another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created us.

NEW CREATURE!!!

The Word says if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Why are we lying to each other, saying that these divisions (denominations, sects) are all right to have?

People, we need to start renewing our minds in His knowledge and follow the example that Jesus left us to follow: Christ is not divided; neither should we be divided.

COLOSSIANS 3:12-15 says this:

(12). Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering; (13). forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye; (14). And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness, (15). and let the Peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

ONE BODY!!!

People, we are called into one body with Christ as its head.

A lot of these denominations got started over people disagreeing with each other. How else could so many divisions of one denomination exist? Just in Baptist denomination alone there are several divisions: Freewill Baptist, Southern Baptist, Missionary Baptist, Conservative and Liberal Baptist.

They are not alone, though; there are also several divisions among the Pentecostals: United Pentecostal, Pentecostal Holiness, Foursquare, Church of Christ, Church of God, and the Assembly of God.

How much longer must this ungodly practice go on? The denominations are divided within themselves; how then can the whole body come together as one?

Wake up and look around! Denominations must stop; this sin must not be allowed to go on. Sin is sin. These divisions are an abomination before the Lord.

Come Boldly Before His Throne

We are to be forbearing one another and forgiving one another, not at each other's throat and spilt up.

If all these so-called leaders of these denominations would come together before the Lord in prayer (at least agree that they can) and bring these disagreements before Him, They would get God's true answer.

Hebrews 4:16 says to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

People, we sure need lots of help, the help that only God can give us. There is no disagreement that God cannot settle

You so-called leaders, bring all of your disagreements before the Lord of Host, and He will resolve them, and then we can go on in one body, in total agreement, accomplishing the Will of the Father.

If we care to go on with God, we really have no choice! He said, if you love Me, you will keep my commandments.

In order for these disagreements to exist, someone is either adding to or taking away from God's Word.

Woe to you!

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the Words of the Book of this Prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book. (Rev. 22:18-19)

These divisions (denominations, sects) are killing people and sending them to hell. Wake up and hear the Word of the Lord.

In Closing, I feel directed to leave you with some words that Jesus left to those who love Him and obey Him with everything in them. I know that these cannot be carried out as long as you are in division, I mean carried out to the fullness that God expects them to be, not just a salvation here and there, or healing here and there, but I'm talking GOD'S FULL POWER, the same power that raised Christ from the dead, the same power that has cleansed all of us who have received Jesus Christ as our own personal Lord and Savior.

MARK 16:15-18 (KJV) (15) GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned, (17) and these signs shall follow them that believe; in MY NAME shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

We need to get busy, and get in one accord so that God's power can be made known to its fullest. We must get out of these divisions and go and preach in the power and authority that Christ has paid for us to walk in, and operate in, the kind of ministry with signs and wonders following ! ! ! ! !

Please read the Prayer of Jesus in the 17th Chapter of the Gospel of John

PLEASE REPENT

PEOPLE ARE DIEING


REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAID?!!
A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL FALL

There is nothing in the Word of God to substantiate denominations; therefore, I don't believe them to be from the Lord, and they are a main cause for the lack of power flowing from the Throne of God.
