Part 2 Message to go along with the 5/3/20 prophecy entitled: Without A Vision The People Perish
God tells us in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” The word vision in the NSEC In Hebrew is # 2372 chazah ,which means to proceed, to have a vision of – behold, look, prophesy, see.
Earlier in my life God would speak to me about being a prophet giving me Jeremiah 1:5 & 17-19. As well whenever I would ask our Heavenly Father throughout the years “What did You really call me to?”… He would always answer me throughout my life “Ezekiel 33.” Please read it and you will better understand the obligation that is upon my life to preach whatever Word He asks, and with such intensity! For there will be no blood on my hands! Then one day in the mid 80’s, I was standing with my hands up worshipping God, and all of a sudden God spoke to me “I want you to be a pastor!” I responded questioning Him “A pastor!!? Are you sure?” He answered me saying “The shepherds are found wanting.”
In the early days of the ministry, in the 80’s, there was going to be a special pastors and spouses evening dinner. And behold, God speaks to me telling me that He wants me to read Malachi at that dinner meeting. Well I said to myself, this one is for a walk in the woods where God would so easily speak to me. Sure enough I needed to make for certain that this was really Him talking to me! As soon as I entered that path in the woods God began speaking to me, even to when I got back home!! As I began walking, I saw a woodpecker beating vigorously against a tree, and I asked myself “How in the world can this bird stand to beat against this tree so hard with its beak!!?” God heard my thoughts and responded “In the same way that I have given this bird the ability to beat this tree with its beak, I have given you the ability to speak to this people.” I said to myself “Hmmm..”
Well, I walked a little further and could see deer tracks where a deer had crossed the path in front of me, and had leaped very high onto a ledge! And I said to myself “How in the world could that deer have leaped so high on this ledge!!?” God heard my thoughts and responded saying “In the same way that I have given this deer the ability to leap high places, I have given you the ability to speak to this people.” Again I said to myself “Hmmm..” Then I went to the end of the path where it came to a frozen small river, and I could hear beaver swimming under the ice! I shuddered in astonishment, and asked myself “How in the world can this beaver live in these cold waters!!?” God answered my thoughts again saying “In the same way that I’ve given this animal the ability to live in cold waters, I have given you the ability to speak to this people!” (In Jeremiah 14:10-15, as well as in other places in the Old Testament God refers to His disobedient as “this people!”) So I went back home, still pondering this assignment God had given me…
Lo and behold! The postman had left a post note on my door saying that I had missed a package and to pick it up at the post office! Ha! I go and retrieve the package that was from Don Gossett Ministries! Although I had ordered from this ministry in the past, I hadn’t ordered anything at that specific time. Out of the blue, and obviously having been led by God in a timely fashion, they sent me this thin yellow book called “Cold Feet And Yellow Belly!”
All right, so our Heavenly Father got the message to me and I knew to obeyed Him. When the pastors and spouses dinner was over, some young pastors were about to leave… and I spoke out saying “Oh please! Could you just wait for a few minutes, because God wants me to read something”. These young pastors were so gracious and sat back down.. And I just simply read all 4 chapters of the Book of Malachi. It is where God dealt with the priests for letting the people get away with their disrespect of God, not fearing Him (Malachi 3:5), along with their gross disobedience in their giving! You could hear a pin drop!.. The wonderful senior pastor who was in charge of the meeting sitting next to me said “Do you realize that because of the disobedience of the priesthood, God did not speak to His people for approximately 400 to 500 years” And that is why there is such a gap between Malachi and Matthew! Know that I truly love my fellow ministers. We are to be a blessing to each other, for are we here to build God’s Kingdom, and not our own kingdom. Thus we speak whatever God tells us to speak, telling them about the blessings of obeying our Heavenly Father, as well as warning them about what sin and disobedience is… with either the sin of omission, or the sin of commission… which without true repentance warrants eternal punishment! After all, true shepherds warn and watch over their sheep! God tells us in Jeremiah 3:15 “Then in the final time I ill give you spiritual shepherds after Mine Own Heart, who will feed you with knowledge and true understanding.”
God’s Word tells us in 1st Corinthians 12:26 “And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.” Beloved, we are the Body of Christ, with our Lord Jesus Christ as The Head. (Ephesians 4:11-16 & 5:23). And are we not our brother’s keeper, looking out for one another to please God in all our ways? Did not Jesus tell us “Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it unto Me.” (Matthew 25:31-46) And ultimately does not God tell us in Hebrews 12:5-6 “And have you forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, MY SON, DESPISE NOT THOU THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN THOU ART REBUKED OF HIM: FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH.” Be blessed by the reading of all of chapter 12 of Hebrews, especially noting verse 14… “Follow peace with all men (being a forgiver from your heart, blessing your enemies), and holiness (walking in love before God pure and sinless), without which no man shall see The Lord!”
In Mark 12, one of the scribes came asking Jesus “Which is the first commandment of all?” Jesus answered him saying “The 1st of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the 2nd is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” Everything that we do must be as would be pleasing unto God our Heavenly Father! (See Colossians 3:23.) And we must treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated! Especially see all chapter 7 of Matthew and noting verse 12.
We must never tickle people’s ears. We must never fail to warn God’s people. We are not here to please people to build our churches/our kingdom! Rather we are commissioned by God to build His Kingdom! Therefore we are not to tickle people’s ears telling them what they want to hear! As well neither should Christians be looking for a leader or a ministry that supports their wrong ideas and wrong values! Nor are we to idolize any leader! Even angels who God would send to deliver a message to people, would say to those who want to worship/idolize them, “See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.” See Revelation 19:10.
If we do not preach God’s pure Word, His Truth… if we do not warn His people who are walking in sin, then their blood shall be upon our hands!! SEE Ezekiel 33! God said in Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and I will curse him that curses thee.” Jesus Christ is still the same yesterday, and today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8) He blesses the obedient to His Ways and He judges those who walk in disobedience to His Ways. He tells us from the end of the book in Revelation 22:12 “And, behold, I come quickly: and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Then in verses 18 – 19 there is Strict Warning from God Almighty!! “For I testify unto every man that hears the words of this prophesy 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.” Beloved, we are not to add, nor are we to subtract, nor change God’s Holy Book!!
2nd Corinthians 5:10 Amplified declares: “For we believers will be called to account and must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad, that is each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives — the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities.”
In Matthew 16:27 Jesus Christ declares: “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.”
Beloved you must STAY READY for our Lord Jesus Christ’s Return! Do Not Wait! Do Not Put Off walking in Holiness and Dedication unto The LORD!! Surrender your all unto Him!! You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain! One day while I was in prayer on my knees before my Heavenly Father, He spoke something very amazing to me! He said “Make a pact with Me.” “A pact?” I answered Him, not understanding what He meant. He simply answered me saying: “My Life for yours!”
1st John 3:1-3 declares unto us: “Behold, what manner of love The Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.” Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.”
1st John 1:3-10 declares: “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with The Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is a message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.”
Beloved, I pray that you would be found worthy, and ready at His appearing! “For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My Soul shall have no pleasure in him.” (Hebrews 10:37-38)
