Thessalonians part 76

Our last reference is spoken to this end, even to driving the flock away in Acts 20 beginning at verse 25 through 35 where Paul states this before the counsel in Asia the following, “Behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of GOD, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God. Taking heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which HE has purchased with HIS own Blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, I commend you to God, and to the word of His Grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Yes, you yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shown you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, (this is the only recognized and authorized form of religion know to GOD, look at James 1:27) and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”


When we have entered through the proper door. The LORD'S LIFE and LIGHT become our Life and Light. And even though the power of GOD in TRUTH, is subject to the will of the prophet. HIS LIFE and LIGHT will always shine through the darkness of our flesh. Just as the pots of Gideans army did when they were broken, this is why we to are to be broken. Our brokeness is much harder to maintain as we face many pressures and obstacles of resistance from this evil and present darkness, that surrounds us. And pulls at us ...to reenter its deception, perversion and evil ways, moment by moment. Sadly in the Churches history, this same scenerio caused was warned of in Revelation chapter 1-3 by the LORD Himself. This caused the great falling away (creating an hole and vacuum) which was brought about when Constantine and the Holy Rome Catholic Church corrupted the Chruch of GOD, by the same means as Israel and its Preisthood did almost 1000 years apart. In the great Apostasy which fostered many heresies in the fashion of being branches of the Lord. By accepting the pagan gods and demonic deities, ie...fallen angels, in the figure of so called saints or the holy mother, and tradition of man to over rule the belief and trust of GOD, that He required of them and requires of us.

John 7:13 states this, “Howbeit no man spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.”


This is the same Tyranny that is fostered today both in our Government's, Economies and mans religious circles, which operate under heresy and the great Apostasy. Which by the way caused the rise of Islam around 400-700 AD. When the presence of the LORD symbolised by the candlesticks were removed from the Chruch by Him according to Revelation and other prophecies. Today many churches operate solely on the power of mans soul or mans flesh and NOT on the power of GOD, which is TRUTH. Jesus as the son of man could do no more than speak TRUTH, as He was and is the TRUTH that all are searching for. (John 1:14, 16-17, Psalm 45:2)

“Body of Christ...body parts cannot disagree. Either have your own head or the Head of Christ and be ONE....Revelation or Doctrine of men? Some cannot tell the difference”....this and the following is written by Lawernce Sloma.

“When Jesus came to earth the first time, in human flesh, his physical body was taken by wicked men and crucified, and he submitted himself to it voluntarily (Matthew 26:39; 26:53; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 10:11; 10:17-18). If we consider the fact that the church is now the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18; 1:24), and that Jesus has not changed (Hebrews 13:8), what will he now allow to happen to his body when it is persecuted in the last days? Will he allow it to be 'raptured' (no such Biblical Term) out of the way before any trouble starts? Or will he allow it to be put to death, as he did before? Those who have taken up their crosses and followed Jesus will be able to see the truth of this, because "the wise shall understand." (Daniel 12:10), but for the unwise virgins it will be too late (Matthew 25:10-12). The scriptures show that the church will be persecuted almost completely to death: (Revelation 2:10) "you shall have tribulation ten days: be faithful to death,"(Revelation 6:9) "I saw under the altar the souls of those who were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"(Revelation 6:11) "until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."(Revelation 12:11) "and they loved not their lives to the death."(Revelation 13:15) "as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."(Revelation 14:13) "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on:"(Revelation 16:6) "they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,"(Revelation 17:6) "I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:"(Revelation 20:4) "I saw the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God."


These scriptures apply to the very last days, evidenced by those which indicate the presence of "the beast", and the end-time plagues.
