Stay in the Faith

History is a revelation of the future, for Ecc.1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

I dreamed that I was in a chamber in Heaven. I remember calling it the “history room” because when I looked around me, I saw things that had already been accomplished in history. Isa.42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass (history repeats), and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. (Why does Father tell us of the things He desires? So we will believe His promises and pray them into existence. The future wonderful things are written in history, and the promises are written in history so that we may have faith to speak them into existence.)

When I looked about me, it was like I was down here on earth; the environment looked the same. It was like having a panoramic view of everything on earth. (Seeing things the way they are on this earth and not walking by sight but by faith to see a different future. Like our Father, we speak the end from the beginning, and we “calleth the things that are not, as though they were”. We are making our own wonderful future in this way: Rom.4:16 For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. 18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised (in history), he was able also to perform. 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.)

As I was looking around, I saw a pedestal (meaning: our faith lifted up toward God) with a large bowl on top (full of the prayers of the saints about to be fulfilled because they speak their own future into existence. Rev.5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 8:3 And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.)

So, I walked over to the bowl and looked in, and the bowl had something written in it. I was not allowed to remember what I read, but one thing I was allowed to remember was that it wasn't anything from the Bible or anything I had ever read before. It was definitely something from the third heaven realm that man does not know, nor has ever seen or experienced. (The prayers of the saints are not written in the Bible, and no one has read them, but they are in the third heaven, as we can see.) 1Co.2:9 but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him. 10 But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Eph.3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,)

I remember as I read what was in the bowl, I got so excited and I looked around for something to write it down on so I could remember it later. But as I turned away from the bowl (An exhortation to not turn away from the bowl or the prayer you have prayed; keep your eyes on them and God will bring it all to pass. What could be more exciting?), my dog barked and woke me up out of the dream. (The dogs or the unbelievers are attempting to distract us and lose sight of the fact that God has provided everything through the rest of faith, for when we believe, we rest from our works. Heb.3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? 19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

Heb.4:1 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. 3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.)

When I fell back asleep, I was again back in the history room. So again, I went over to the bowl and looked at those words again and looked around for something to write them down on, and again I was awakened out of my sleep by some sort of noise. (The distractions of the world in the parable of the sower kept the believer from bearing fruit.) Then, for the third time, I fell back asleep, and again I found myself in the history room, so I walked over to the bowl again. I remember saying, “I must write this down so I can remember it later”, but when I did, I felt something tap my hip as I was lying in bed, and it woke me up. When I fell back asleep again, I was no longer in the history room. (The Lord wounded Jacob in his thigh so that in his weakness God could be made strong.)

(The power imparted by God's Spirit will impart to us the life and walk of Jesus. Act.1:8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.) I believe we are being encouraged to pray for the latter rain. Zec.10:1 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain, even of the Lord that maketh lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. Jesus, as the latter rain, is about to be poured out onto those waiting and asking for it. Pro.1:23 Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you. Hos.6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

(The overwhelming majority of God's people have rejected His power from Heaven that the early disciples received in the Book of Acts, as they walked as Jesus did. Joh.14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. Joh.7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.)

Something else I remembered while I was in the history room was seeing the people right before the flood. Right before the flood came, they saw something in the sky. I don't really know what they saw, but somehow in the Spirit I sensed they saw the Angel of the Lord. And for some reason that I can't explain, I don't think it was the angels, Michael or Gabriel; it was a much more powerful angel. It seemed like it was a very special angel reserved only for some extraordinary event, like an end-time event or something. I really don't know. (We have dreams where an angel of the Lord appeared in the heavens and called for the people to follow Him to the refuge in the wilderness.)

Also, as I was falling back to sleep for the fourth time, I remember hearing these words in the Spirit: “The world has never seen the nakedness of luxury”. (I believe the inference is that they soon will see the nakedness of luxury.) Pro.23:1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee; 2 And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite. 3 Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food. 4 Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. 5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties: 7 For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.

(What is a luxury? Something we cannot afford to do or to have. Our race is against the flesh. We cannot afford to give in to it, or the spiritual man, who is Christ in you, will lose ground in our promised land. We cannot afford to live in sin, or we will miss the boat. We cannot afford the prosperity life of the flesh that loves the world and the lusts of it and robs the soul. Mat.13:22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Why does luxury make us naked? Because we are to put on the works of Jesus, like clothing, to cover our sinful works.

Rom.13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. Rev.19:8 And it was given unto her (the Bride) that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 2Co.5:3 if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. Jesus and His disciples had no time or desire for luxury; they desired to do their Father's business. Look how the luxury preachers running around showing off their expensive lifestyles while their congregations barely make ends meet.)

Excerpts from The Shepherd of Hermas on luxury:

Eighth Commandment: Restrain yourself, therefore, from all iniquity, and do that which is good”. “What, sir”, say I, “are the evil deeds from which we must restrain ourselves?” “Hear”, says he: “from adultery and fornication, from unlawful reveling, from wicked luxury, from indulgence in many kinds of food and the extravagance of riches, and from boastfulness, and haughtiness, and insolence, and lies, and backbiting, and hypocrisy, from the remembrance of wrong, and from all slander. These are the deeds that are most wicked in the life of men. From all these deeds, therefore, the servant of God must restrain himself. For he who does not restrain himself from these, cannot live to God.

Twelfth Commandment: Foremost of all is the desire after another's wife or husband, and after extravagance, and many useless dainties and drinks, and many other foolish luxuries; for all luxury is foolish and empty in the servants of God. These, then, are the evil desires which slay the servants of God. For this evil desire is the daughter of the devil. You must refrain from evil desires, that by refraining ye may live to God. But as many as are mastered by them, and do not resist them, will perish at last, for these desires are fatal. Put you on, then, the desire of righteousness; and arming yourself with the fear of the Lord,

Sixth Similitude: And he said to me, “Do you see this shepherd?” “I see him, sir”, I said. “This”, he answered, “is the angel of luxury and deceit: he wears out the souls of the servants of God, and perverts them from the truth, deceiving them with wicked desires, through which they will perish; for they forget the commandments of the living God, and walk in deceits and empty luxuries; and they are ruined by the angel, some being brought to death, others to corruption:” I said to him, “Sir, I do not know the meaning of these words, 'to death, and to corruption'“.

“Listen”, he said. “The sheep which you saw merry and leaping about, are those which have torn themselves away from God for ever, and have delivered themselves over to luxuries and deceits [of this world. Among them there is no return to life through repentance, because they have added to their other sins, and blasphemed the name of the Lord. Such men therefore, are appointed unto death. And the sheep which you saw not leaping, but feeding in one place, are they who have delivered themselves over to luxury and deceit], but have committed no blasphemy against the Lord. These have been perverted from the truth: among them there is the hope of repentance, by which it is possible to live. Corruption, then, has a hope of a kind of renewal, but death has everlasting ruin”.

Do you believe that your faith and prayers toward God, Who wrote His promises in history, will make a glorious future for you? Listen to what He said: Jas.4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Mat.8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee... Mat.9:22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole ... And the woman was made whole from that hour. Mat.9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. Joh.15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Mar.11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

What is it that you need, saints? Ask and believe you have received it until you see it. Keep your eyes on your request and the fact that you have been answered according to the promises. Be patient, since your faith is proven in temptation to believe otherwise, and God will answer all. Jas.1:2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

Are you believing for a healing, deliverance from sin, provision, a child, wife or husband to be saved? Heb.10:23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised. God will answer every promise; He is faithful to His Word.

Expectation In Faith

Anonymous 12/12/23 (David’s notes in red)

There is something I had been praying and trying to believe God for a while now and I know He can instantly answer this prayer and He can instantly provide because He owns everything and can do beyond our imagination. However, it hasn’t manifested into the physical realm yet. (So our faith must be tested until we get rid of doctrinal and imaginary loopholes as to why we will not receive our request. Mar.11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.) The following experience was an answer to why this prayer has not yet been manifested physically, and I felt it is also relevant to healings, deliverances, and all prayers, etc.

I saw a bright gold light as a path or a connection between me and God. (This path to God and His answers to prayers is available to all because of the sacrifice of Jesus but “all have not faith” which is a “gift of God”. It's “to whosoever will” but few have that will. “God works in us to will and to work.” Psa.65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell in thy courts: Joh.6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him…)

The path and connection have always been there and always active when we believe it. It was understood that a few people have actually connected with Him in this way. It was understood that only a remnant of those that will be with Him in eternity, will experience this connection with Him on earth. (Heb.11:6 and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.)

It was an instant connection with God where He hears EVERYTHING we say and He instantly responds. The connection is beyond perfect and greater than we can imagine. (I have been having this connection with the Father and Son for some time. It used to be that I had to wait for replies from Him in a word, dream or scriptures. Now it is an easy conversation and I hear them clearly. Eve says she has this experience too. I believe all of the mature will experience this at the restoration.)

The path wasn’t long but so short and closer than I can describe. With this path or connection, we are instantly heard and our prayers are instantly answered. (Even when Father says yes, there can be a perfect timing. 1Jn.5:14-15 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. So it takes knowledge of His will to base solid faith on which many Christians do not have or seek out.) Isa.65:24 And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

I saw that this path or connection has ALWAYS been there for every human. (We are born into sin and the Adamic nature, but we are innocent because of ignorance. At that time, we have our best connection to God when we are born again. Our soul, which would connect us to God, dies through sin. So, the rebirth of our soul through the gift of faith opens this path to Him.) Jesus made this path before the world's foundation, and He has already made the connection for every prayer to be heard, every healing to manifest, everything to be instantly answered. (But the answer can be “Yes” while manifestation comes as we “hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not.” As we have studied in Quantum Physics or Mechanics.) He has already paved the way for all these things and greater and He has given everyone instant access for this. (Through faith in the promises.) Joh.16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

I saw this and it was so perfect and everything was already complete and because of His Grace (through faith) we always have access to this Holy connection and path because Christ already made it.

However, I then came out of this pure path connection so I could see the instant Holy connection, but there were fallen angels standing in between me and God on this path. One of them specialized in doubt and unbelief, another in rejection and unworthiness and I forgot the other ones. But I knew that I had been listening to these lies of doubt and unworthiness of God, which was keeping my prayer from manifesting in the physical. I had doubt that it was really God’s will because it hasn’t manifested yet and doubt that I am worthy or deserve to have it manifest.

Because I was listening to the thoughts and feelings of these demons, even in the tiniest amount, they were then allowed to stand between me and God’s blessings manifesting in the physical. It was this part of me, a carnal and yet-to-be-perfected state of myself, standing in between my prayers being answered, because Jesus had already made the path for ALL prayers, blessings and all holiness to manifest. (Through our faith)

He has even already made the path for us to all manifest Jesus 100 fold in the physical. We aren’t waiting on God to move; He is waiting for us to get in line with Him and what He has already done. We are the only ones blocking it. It isn’t the demon’s fault; the demons can only do what we allow them to do. They aren’t the ones stopping anything; it’s us.

As soon as I confessed the doubt, unworthiness and rejection etc. the demons instantly moved off the path and out of the way and the perfect Holy connection was manifested again. As soon as I told them to go, they had to go and as soon as I confessed this sin separating me from God’s blessings being manifested, all blessing blockers left because of what Jesus has already done.

I understood that these demons will keep testing me with thoughts and feelings of doubt until I overcome them fully. But I have to ALWAYS be on guard since the demons use some truth and sugarcoat it to make it sound reasonable and they are good at pretending to be God with His voice and twisting His Word. As soon as we agree with them, it blocks us from the full 100% instant Holy connection and communication with God that He has already prepared and paid the price for us to have. (We all need to use the Armor of God and be discerning of every thought. 2Co.10:4-5 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;) Jas.4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Also Eph.6:1-18.

It was also made known to me that Jesus paid the price for all christians to have this instant connection, but the majority don’t want it, and the majority of those who do want it don’t really want it 100% in full because they want to hold onto even little sins that block this.

Now we all need to be in agreement with God, without opposition, doubt or unbelief. This is forged on the altar of our sacrifice of self to allow Jesus to complete the intercession and manifestation on our behalf. Let’s stand in faith to His whole Word together for all our needs to be met!

The Exhausting Last Steps of the Journey of Our Faith

McKana, 8/18/25

Many of us have been walking a long walk in faith. Without a doubt, we are in the last few steps. These last few steps are very trying, exhausting, and a point where very few endure; many either look back, give up, and get lost. These last steps are filled with ceaseless, non-relenting attacks coming from every corner. Every one of us has our unique situations according to what good we carry in the eyes of the Lord. The enemy hates us above and beyond the rest, for we are in the front lines, trained by the Lord for this end time.

This message is for all of us and specifically for those of us who are there in those last exhausting steps, to give us strength, hope and endurance. Some of our Brethren, for certain, have endured these trials- tuned to our individual capacity. Some can carry heavy burdens, some light, but as the scripture tells us, the Lord doesn’t suffer us with more than we are able.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The vision given in this message has three stages. 1st Stage- Easy, not very challenging.

These are the good times when we first began as believers.

2nd Stage-The trial, the weariness and the challenges that appear in different forms and kinds.

3rd Stage-This is the exhaustive, challenging stage.

This is where we are; this is where many lose hope and give up.

This is the time of the Soon-Coming Storm.

The Lord saw what I am going through and gave us the following vision. Let us see what is revealed to us, to give us awareness of where we are in our trying journey to the endpoint.

Up the Mountain, Flying and…

(Vision of March 24, 2025, 5:30 AM)

I started flying up the mountain with my feet in the air but close to the ground, i.e., flying. I am stepping up like I am walking in the air without touching the ground. I went up most of the mountain. There is someone to the left, high up, giving me a sign with his right hand to push; mounting up. He is leading, encouraging me to finish to the end. I am almost up there. Now, I am close to the ground, my feet are about to touch the ground and holding my knees to my belly. He is encouraging me, waving His right hand towards Him. Now, I am tired, with a little more left to reach the top. I said, "No, I need rest.” I wanted to take rest and continue. When I said, “little rest,” I woke up from the vision.

Interpretation:

This was Jesus helping me mount the mountain.

-The first part of “The Flying” was easy and joyful.

-The second one needed more effort.

-The third and the final one was exhausting. This is where we are now: the final few steps.

Thank you, Lord, for the help when we needed you.

Conclusion:

At this point, Faith and Endurance are what are required of us, always and to the end. Mat.24:13 But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

The Lord is with us, as His right hand is extended to help us mount the difficult terrain to finish the race.

Your Survival Depends On Your Faith

Pamela G. 7/24/24 Link

This word of the Lord was given to me on July 23, 2024 @12:30 pm.

The Lord spoke to me, saying that we are entering into times of tribulation that will require us to live by faith alone. I encourage you brothers and sisters to heed these serious words from the Lord that He may bless and prosper you as well as to keep you safe in the days to come! Keeping you all in my prayers! Pamela G.

Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Words of Yeshua:

“Your Survival in the days ahead will be dependent on your level of faith and trust in Me. You cannot successfully navigate the challenges you will encounter without the guidance of My Holy Spirit and a walk with Me that stands on a solid foundation. You cannot build a house on shifting sands…”

Matthew 7:26-27 (NKJV) But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.

Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

“I AM the rock of your salvation; therefore build your house upon Me and allow My foundations to support you! The events that are coming are beyond your control, and you will not be able to endure them without My wise counsel and direction. (and faith) My Holy Spirit is alive in you to fulfill this very purpose. You can do nothing apart from His strength, guidance, and direction for your lives. Oh, foolish children, have I not warned you for long enough now that you must seek Me first and foremost in your lives?”

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

“So many of you are troubled and are tossed to and fro on violent seas because you try to navigate your lives in your own strength. (I will add, using your own understanding or reasonings. Your flesh needs to come under submission to the Holy Spirit.) If you continue on this path, it will only lead to your destruction and, for some of you, even untimely death. However, remember what I have told you! I AM the One who sustains you!”

John 4:13-14 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

“I AM a wellspring of living water for you, and only I can satisfy your every need and the deep desires of your hearts. Also have I not told you…

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

“So why is it that you struggle in trusting Me by living in faith? Do you truly not believe in My promises? Have I not proven Myself to you over and over again? You weary Me with your constant wavering when all I ask you to do is to reach out your hand to Me, keeping your eyes focused on Me and not your circumstances, and you will walk on water as Peter did! (Matthew 14:22-43) .

“The days are coming when you will not know whether to turn to the right or the left or how you will survive even to the dawn of the next day! But do not fear, because I have promised to be with you and to sustain you even when everything surrounding you will not.”

Deuteronomy 20:3-4 (NKJV) And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

“Have I also not promised never to leave you, fail you or forsake you?”

Romans 8:35-39 (NKJV) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“Those who put their complete trust and faith in Me as their Lord, God and King have nothing to fear! To those who obey Me I will in no wise cast out!”

John 6:35-37 (NKJV) And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”

“Will you trust Me? Will you obey Me in the days of scarcity, when you will have to depend on Me alone? Did I not take care of My people as they wandered for 40 years during the Exodus? Did I not feed them even My manna from heaven to satisfy their hunger? Yet still there were those who spoke complaints against Me.

“Yes, this time was a trial and a testing for them, as it will be for you. Will you give Me the glory even under duress and during trying circumstances by testifying of My mighty works in your midst? Or will you grumble and complain against Me and My anointed ones who I will call to lead you out?

“Rest assured, as I AM a just God, there will be a winnowing process that occurs in these end days to make certain that it is only My wheat that is gathered into My storehouses. So, remain faithful, My children, in your trials and testing, for those who endure till the end will indeed be saved.

“But to the wicked and ungodly who are masquerading wolves in sheep’s clothing surrounding you in your homes, churches, and communities: My swift and severe judgments will fall upon you and strike you down in an instant. These will not stand against My scrutiny to be refined through the fire because their hearts never belonged to Me. They were filled with fleshly desires and pursuits all while speaking out in My name.

“But those whom I love and call as sons and daughters I will discipline; otherwise, what sort of Father would I be? If I have chosen you, I will indeed invest Myself in your process of growth and sanctification.”

Matthew 22:11-14 (NKJV) But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.

“Will you be counted among those who are called and chosen by Me? Will you present yourself to Me as My unblemished Bride without spot or wrinkle having been washed in My redeeming blood? In that day I will speak to them, saying…

Matthew 7:21-23 (NKJV) 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

“So, My dear ones, take to heart My words and instruction! Humble your hearts before Me and seek My face. Endeavor even now to live each precious day you are given by faith and testify of Me before the world of the great and marvelous works of My hands.

“It is only by unwavering faith in Me that you will endure the wrath of the evil one that is soon to be released in mass against you in ways you have never seen. Only My truly fervent and faithful servants who put down their flesh and seek My face will endure the evils that will be set against you.

“Have you committed yourselves to living for Me and Me alone? Have you made yourselves worthy of being accepted into My Kingdom? Have you gone to war against the sin in your lives?

I urge you ALL to examine your hearts before My Holy Spirit today! For this is the heart of one that I seek!”

Galatians 2:20 (NKJV) I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

“Remember this as well when difficult days confront you!”

1 Peter 4:12-15 (NKJV) Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

“My final instructions to you in this word are these…

Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV) Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

“I love you, My dear children, and My heart longs to gather you into My fold and to rejoice with you for all eternity! The just will live by faith, and these are the ones who will be with Me in My Father’s Kingdom!”

Endure In Your Faith To The End

David Eells

Have you ever received promises from God that you really desired but lost faith in because much time passed and there was much failure on your part to live up to your expectations, and you think that is the reason that the promises won’t be fulfilled?

We have received many times by faith at random – Psa.102:13 Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come. (We are on the verge of many promises being fulfilled at this time, and also for people who have failed to live up to what they thought they should have been. In all of your failure, continue to be ‘Justified by Faith’ and also forgive your fellow man their failures and believe now so the promises can come to pass.)

We are entering a season of fulfillment! We also received these verses by faith at random about NOW is the time. Isa.33:10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. Psa.12:5 Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.

It is now that we have no time for double mindedness because of past failures or sin. Forget the failures and inability of the past with its condemnation; be justified by faith, repent and believe.

Here is a perfect example of a man receiving an important promise but then went through much unbelief and failure and self-works in his uncircumcised heart, but when the time came God reminded him of the promise and brought it to pass through his renewed faith.

Rom.4:1-10 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. (Like many of us, Abraham’s faith and works failed him for many years, but when the set time was come it was impossible for him to bring it to pass by works of man. He and Sarah were too old and double minded. Jas.1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. It was then that God reminded him of the promise and renewed his faith.) 3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. And then the promise was fulfilled.

4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. (The answer can only come by Grace, which is unmerited and unearned by man’s works. Pray for mercy and grace by which faith will come.) 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. (Up to this point, Abraham was ungodly in his works to bring to pass the promises. Only the works of faith are considered righteous.)

6 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works (of man), 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin. (This grace through faith was given to a man who did not deserve it by his works.) 9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness. 10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. (The promise was given when Abraham was sowing a seed of uncircumcised flesh. What can that get you? Ishmael. Abraham wanted God to accept him as the promised seed, but God refused because his work was of the flesh of man.)

…17-25 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. (Abraham and Sarah were dead to any ability to bring forth the promised seed. We also are dead to any ability to bring forth the promised seed of Christ in you, the hope of glory. Here is where we can receive the unmerited, unearned favor of God. We cannot pick ourselves up by our bootstraps.)

18 Who in hope believed against hope (of man), to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. (Within the year of the fulfillment of the promise Abraham began to believe God by His grace; while ignoring his inability.) 19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. (Since it was humanly impossible for them to do this, there was only one other choice: believe God and be counted as righteous so he could have the promise. Rom.3:3-4 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 4 God forbid: (It was in this state of unfaithfulness to God’s promise that Abraham and Sarah were to confess the promise and be justified in their words.) yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified (Accounted as righteous) in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. We prevail or overcome in Judgment when we confess the Lord’s promises with our Words. When we are accounted righteous, we are entitled to Faith, which is the victory that overcomes the world.

Back to Rom.4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. When Jesus died, we died; when he was resurrected, we received resurrection life.

Have you failed? Ask for faith through grace and confess the promises! Confess in Greek is Homo-Logeo, meaning to “speak the same as,”. i.e., say what God says about you and others.

Heb.3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; Heb.4:14 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Jesus as our High Priest must have a sacrifice from us to give to the Father. Mat.10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. Luk.12:8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: When we confess in agreement with God’s promises, the angels are given authority by the Father and Son to fulfill our confession. Psa.103:20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Heb.10:23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: Heb.13:15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. Speak life into every situation. Pro.18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Mar.11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. “Whosoever” shows that He wasn’t only talking to His disciples and apostles at that time, but that He was talking to all disciples because disciples are the only ones who will take Him seriously and recognize this authority as a gift of faith and act on it.

Again, Jesus was not only speaking to the apostles and disciples back in His time, but to anyone, from them to us, who believes he can have this authority. Is this just a silly statement that no one will ever really take Him up on? No! There have been many people who have commanded their personal mountains and giants out of the way. Multitudes of people have exercised this authority over Satan, over the flesh, over their circumstances, and over the curse.

God is faithful to stand by His Word, not because we deserve it, but due to His mercy and grace. He has said, “According to your faith be it done unto you” (Mat.9:29) and “Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee” (Mat.8:13). “Whosoever” includes you and me and any other believer, so this authority has been put in our hands as sons of the last Adam, and not only given to those disciples in Jesus’ day, as some say.

Mar.16:14 And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Jesus is referring to the disciples of the disciples. “Disciples” (Greek: mathetes, meaning “learner and follower”) are learners and followers of the Lord. He is our Master, our Lord, our Example, and He is the One Who does the works through us.

Mar.16:17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Now we see that these signs will accompany those who simply believe and not only great apostles. That is authority! Jesus is giving authority to the people who believe these first disciples, or forefathers of Christianity, who wrote these pages to us. He has given us this authority to do good in the name of the Lord.

All principalities and powers have been put under Jesus (Matthew 28:18), even “His feet,” and we are “His body” (Ephesians 1:20-23). We have this authority, but it can be negative or positive. For example, when the Lord brought His people out of Egypt and into the wilderness, they continued to speak negatively and exercise their faith in a negative way. Faith is just what you believe. You can believe what God has spoken to you, or you can believe the things which you see in the world, but Jesus said, According to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29). Faith is both negative and positive. Even fear is faith; however, it’s faith in the curse, or faith in reverse – I.e., having faith in adverse circumstances and in the devil. The absolute proof in the world is that what people believe happens to them.

Doctors say that approximately 90% and higher of sicknesses are psychosomatic (Greek: psuche, meaning “soul” and soma, meaning “body”). This implies “soul over body,” and your soul is your mind, will and emotions. Therefore, your mind, will, and emotions are making your body sick. The doctors are wrong in stating that 90% and higher of sicknesses are psychosomatic. That number is 100%. What makes people sick is what they believe. In fact, what you believe can kill you. As we saw in Matthew 18:18, you are the one who binds and who looses, and you are the one who creates your own future. You are the one who gives authority to the devil or gives authority unto God. Jesus needed authority, but when He went to His hometown, He could not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief (Mat.13:58).

They had authority to say no to God, and they did; they did not believe in Jesus and His Gospel. They believed in the sickness and the curse, and they spoke it. We can believe in the blessings of God and speak the blessings, or we can believe in the curse and speak the curse. We will have what we believe because that’s the Word of God. Num.14:28 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, that have murmured against me. They complained to the Lord that they were brought out into the wilderness to die, and the Lord heard this too many times. The Lord basically gave them what they said. The Lord still does this today, and the Bible declares that He does.

One of the fruits of a believer is that they believe in their heart and confess with their mouth (Romans 10:10). There are many people who profess to be believers, yet don’t confess their benefits in Christ, so God says what you say is what you will receive. Num.21:5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. What is “against God”? It’s when God has spoken these awesome promises, and we think we know better and continue to agree with the curse.

For example, the 10 spies who spoke and agreed with the curse and brought the bad report led to the threats made by God to those who believed those spies. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who brought the good report, in agreement with God’s promises. So, speaking against God can be more subtle than what people might think. When God says you’re healed, and you say you’re not, then you will remain sick. When God says He’s taken away your sins, but you confess what you see and feel in the world, you are speaking against God.

Num.21:6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Once again, what they spoke is what they got. I believe the fiery serpents represent the curse. The cure for this was that God commanded Moses to make a “fiery serpent” out of brass and put it on a pole, and as people got their eyes on the serpent on the pole, they were healed (verse 8). As we know, the cure was Jesus Christ, since He was the One who was made sin and was crucified on a cross. So, we have a cure from the curse, but we must confess God to receive this cure.

Those who profess Christianity but do not confess the benefits of the Kingdom, so that the curse, which was put upon Jesus, doesn’t come on them. We cannot gain the promises in Scripture without faith in those promises. Or, in other words, what we profess must be mixed with faith. Num.21:7 And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. When people pray, God is merciful, especially if they believe their prayers. But do you have to continue to live under the curse? Is it necessary, when you can agree with God, to have the “fiery serpents” bite you? These serpents are the curse manifested in so many ways. The serpent is, obviously, also the devil, who is a vessel of dishonor that administers the curse on God’s people, especially when they don’t believe in the benefits of God.

Jesus told us, According to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29) and Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee (Mat.8:13). You can speak things into coming to pass. If you speak life, you receive life; if you speak death, you receive death. It depends on what you have your faith in. If your faith is in agreement with God’s benefits, then you receive those benefits. If you agree with what is in the world, then you don’t receive God’s benefits and have loosed the devil; you have loosed emissaries to continue to administer the curse on you. Many people are learning this and experiencing what I’m saying.

This is nothing new but is the same Gospel which is from the beginning. We have to have a renewed mind so that we understand what to believe and what we should speak. Faith can be both positive and negative. Pro.18:20 A man’s belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied. Would you like your needs to be met because of what you say? We would like our lips to come into agreement with the Word of God and learn more and more to walk in His benefits by confessing Him before men.

Pro.18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I remember when I was back in Louisiana, a church there had a visiting minister who was preaching about death and how it was not to be feared. I know this church and its circumstances and have been there. The minister was actually going to show them how simple it was to die. He pulled up a chair, sat down, and said it was as simple as going to sleep. Then he nodded his head, giving an example. He stayed like that for a while, until the pastor, whom I know, got nervous and went up and touched him on his shoulder, and then shook him. He was gone. He talked himself right off of this earth. What was God showing with this example?

Some people just talk themselves right into the grave. Many people die before their time because their faith is to die; their faith is to be cursed and to receive the things that are around them. Their faith is not in what the Lord Jesus has given to them freely. Truly, “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” This is God’s Word, and nothing is being taken away or being added to it. We need to agree with God’s benefits to have them, and God will supply your every need to do His will, if you learn to agree with Him.

The tongue doesn’t speak on its own. It gets its direction from your thoughts and the words that are in your mind. We need to watch our tongue so we can correct our mind. That’s one reason the Lord is telling us to be careful with what we say, because when we are careful, we are correcting our thoughts. He tells us to be quick to hear and slow to speak. That’s why we have one tongue and two ears. Mat.12:34 Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. If we want to speak good things, we need to put good things in our hearts and reject the other things that are there.

I am sure that your mouth has spoken things that have slipped out, that you wish you hadn’t said. It’s an automatic thing with some people, but we need to slow down and give the Lord time to correct our thinking. Good people speak good things and bad people speak bad things. In some ways, we are both since we are both ‘son of man’ and ‘son of God’, but we also have authority over that part of us which is still man. The Son of God in us has authority over that man. As the outer man decays, the inner man is renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16).

That spiritual man is taking over as we walk by faith and believe more and more of the Word of God and, as we do, more and more of Jesus Himself is being manifested in us, and He is taking more and more ground from the enemy. Mat.12:35 The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Those who get this revelation about the tongue spend much time talking about the tongue, but we must really begin with the heart. We have to repent – change our mind – and believe what the Bible says. Changing your mind and repenting is renewing your mind with what the Word says and agreeing with what it says, but we must do it enough so that it overcomes our natural thinking. Our natural thinking is what kills us and all those whose tongues are connected to their natural man.

Mat.12:36 And I say unto you, that every idle (Greek: argos, meaning “unfruitful, barren”) word that men shall speak, they shall give account of in the day of judgment. The Lord obviously wants His Word to bear fruit in us, but there are many words that are unfruitful and don’t bear the fruit of Christ in us. Every idle word will bring judgment upon you. The day of judgment is not that day down the road, the corporate judgment, but it is the day of judgment that you come into. Your idle words, unfruitful or vain, will bring you into judgment.

Many people have spoken the curse upon themselves, as the Israelites did. They confessed continuously that they would die in the wilderness, and it happened. Mat.12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. The words that justify are those words spoken in agreement with God. They are words confessing Jesus before God and men, saying what He said and agreeing with what He has taught us in the Word and by what He put in the disciples to teach us in the Word.

We are accounted righteous, or justified, if we agree with God. But if we don’t agree, we fall under judgment, for “by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” If you disagree with God’s Word, it’s like calling Him a liar. God told the Israelites that He was going to bring them to the Promised Land, and they basically claimed that God was a liar and that He brought them to the wilderness to die. They spoke it from their mouth and He finally said, “as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you.” There are a lot of people who don’t make it through the wilderness – what we call the “world” today. Hos.4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…. They agree with the curse and they receive the curse. It’s what they believe; it is their faith.

See Jesus in the mirror; all that He is, is yours. 2Co.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
