THE BIG QUESTION:

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

 

“AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO THE TEMPLE, THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE CAME UNTO HIM AS HE WAS TEACHING, AND SAID, BY WHAT AUTHORITY DOEST THOU THESE THINGS? AND WHO GAVE THEE THIS AUTHORITY?” Math 21/23.

 

The big question on all of your lips about Straight Talk Ministries; Where`s your church? Who are you under? Who are you in submission too? Have you been in ministry? Are you a senior pastor? Where? When? How long? Who are the ministers you were under, we want their names so we can find out who you are: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO US LIKE THAT!! DON`T YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO!!! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THIS!!! (it`s all in the book “How Dare You,” read it again:).

 

You don`t have to look into my past to find out WHO I WAS! Just look at the content of the ministry and find out WHO I AM NOW! THE ISSUE ISN`T WHO I WAS, IT`S WHO I AM IN CHRIST NOW; THAT`S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH. What did the Apostle Paul say? “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil.3/13-14.

 

All of you were once liars, cheats, robbers, adulterers, murderers, whoremongers, idolaters, alcoholics, drug abusers, fornicators, revilers, lovers of mammon, effeminate, abusers of mankind, children of wrath, SINNERS, BUT NONE OF THAT IS RELEVANT TO YOUR MINISTRY NOW…..IS IT????   I`ve no doubt many of you will be hell bent to find out my past, and put me in remembrance of it, EVEN WHEN THE LORD HAS CAST ALL MY SINS INTO THE SEA OF HIS FORGETFULNESS!!! Jer. 31/34. But you know, I really don`t have a problem with my past, yes,  THERE WAS NO BIGGER HYPOCRITE AND LUKEWARM  LYING ABOMINABLE LOVER OF SELF THAN THIS LITTLE BLACK DUCK, THERE WAS NO BIGGER, HALF COMMITTED, DELUDED, SAMARITAN! (1 TIM. 1/15). BUT PRAISE GOD, HE FORGAVE ME, WASHED ME, RESTORED ME TO FELLOWSHIP, BATHED ME IN HIS LOVE, INSTRUCTED ME AND CAUSED ME TO STAND LIKE A MAN AND NOT COWER LIKE A DOG; HALLELUJAH: BOY, HOW I LOVE HIM!!!!! When I decided to get serious and fully committed and yielded for and to Him, HE GOT SERIOUS AND FULLY COMMITTED TO ME.  And you want to know something, there were witnesses to the encounter with Him: If you dig around enough, and I`m sure you will, you`ll find out who they are: I`m a walking testimony to the parable of “The Prodigal Son.” PRAISE GOD:  One of them even said “it`s a miracle what`s happened to Bevan.”

 

If you think you can ignore the message because of past sins (which have been forgiven and washed away by the Blood of the Lamb) of the messenger,... if you think you can justify yourself not taking any notice of the message because of the past of the messenger think again:..................

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: "BUT NOW, O LORD, THOU ART OUR FATHER; WE ARE THE CLAY, AND THOU OUR POTTER; AND WE ALL ARE THE WORK OF THY HAND". IS. 64/8.

 

"BUT WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHERN VESSELS, THAT THE EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER MAY BE OF GOD, AND NOT OF US". 2 COR. 4/7.

 

WISE UP,........LISTEN AND TAKE HEED TO WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING THROUGH THE CLAY:

 

CHRIST WILL HOLD YOU TO ACCOUNT FOR THE TRUTH IN THE MESSAGE: WHETHER YOU TOOK HEED,...OR WHETHER YOU "STOPPED YOUR EARS AND TOOK UP STONES TO STONE THE MESSENGER". MATH. 23/37, ACTS 7/51-60, EZ. 2/5,  IT IS CHRIST WHO CHOSE THE MESSENGER IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE IS NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR RANTINGS ABOUT THE PAST OF THE MESSENGER. RO. 8/33-39.

 

They that take up stones to cast at the messenger, joining themselves to the "accuser of the Brethren", (Rev. 12/10), are denying the very Gospel of Jesus Christ for forgiveness, washing of sins, reconciliation that they deceive themselves into thinking  they represent, thus denying  the truth and our Lord Christ:  (2 Tim. 3/5, Tit. 1/16, 2/12, 2 Pet. 2/1, Jude 4.).

They are also touching the Lord`s anointed, (1 Sam. 24/6, 10, 26/9, 11, 23, 2 Sam. 1/14), and in so doing are "blaspheming the Holy Ghost": (Math. 12/31-32, Mk. 3/28-29). But then, as saith the Lord: "THE TIME COMETH, THAT WHOSOEVER KILLETH YOU WILL THINK THAT HE DOETH GOD SERVICE". JOHN 16/2.

 

What you are also really asking about Straight Talk Ministries is “By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?”

 

Let me ask you all a question: By whose authority do you presume to go into the streets and countries of the unbelievers, preaching and telling them they are all a bunch of filthy sinners WARNING THEM, that they are all going to hell unless they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour impinging on their lives uninvited with unsolicited preaching of the Gospel????? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THIS TO THEM?????

 

Isn`t it because He told you to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel??” Well…………..I DO THIS….. BECAUSE HE TOLD ME TOO:

 

O, I`M SORRY, YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU NOW NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST, THAT YOU ARE ABOVE BEING WARNED OF IMPENDING  DANGER, DOCTRINAL ERROR, HOW FOOLISH OF ME TO THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE WARNED: TCH, TCH:

 

Listen, the issue isn`t about me, IT`S ABOUT “THE WORD,” “HO LOGOS,” “THE CHRIST,” AND THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF THE BRIDE. But ho-hum, typical Pharisees that you are, you will let the devil dupe into looking at the man trying to find something to accuse him of, point the finger, find fault, so that you think you can be absolved from any of the conviction of “The Holy Spirit” and be justified in your own eyes. YOUR REACTIONS TELL ALL THAT HE`S TALKING TO YOU!!!! “WHEREFORE YE BE WITNESSES UNTO YOURSELVES, THAT YE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THEM WHICH KILLED THE PROPHETS. FILL YE UP THEN THE MEASURE OF YOUR FATHERS. YE SERPENTS, YE GENERATION OF VIPERS, HOW CAN YE ESCAPE THE DAMNATION OF HELL? WHEREFORE, BEHOLD, I SEND UNTO YOU PROPHETS, AND WISE MEN, AND SCRIBES: AND SOME OF THEM YE SHALL KILL AND CRUCIFY; AND SOME OF THEM SHALL YE SCOURGE IN YOUR SYNAGOGUES, AND PERSECUTE THEM FROM CITY TO CITY: Math. 23/31-34. 

What you`re also saying to me is, “where is your proof?” where`s the evidence of your ministry? (the Pharisees and scribes said exactly the same thing, “MASTER, WE WOULD SEE A SIGN FROM THEE.” Math. 12/38. What was Jesus answer? “AN EVIL AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN;” Math. 12/39.).   “Where is your fruit?” “ye shall know them by their fruits:" Amen, so you shall, read the poems on this website, they are written by the woman that the Lord espoused me to. What does the scripture say? “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: BUT THE WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF THE MAN. 1 Cor. 11/7. (Reflecting the glory of her husband;). “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 1 Cor. 11/3. You might say to me, I can show you my church of 15,000 lukewarm, disgruntled, murmuring, filled with problems, unhappy, unfulfilled, deceived, drunk with illusion, pretenders, lovers of the things of this world men pleasers, my troubled children, and a Jezebel wife that likes the limelight and to usurp authority, that`s my credentials, my reputation: AND I WOULD SAY TO YOU, I CAN SHOW YOU ONE LITTLE EWE LAMB, HAPPY, CONTENT, SECURE, TRUSTING, SUBMISSIVE, OBEDIENT, WHOLE, COMPLETE, ENRICHED, ALIVE, FULFILLED, GREATFUL, THANKFUL, AT PEACE WITH THE LORD AND WITH HERSELF, (these are her words not mine), "HAVING THE ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT, WHICH IS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OF GREAT PRICE". 1 Pet. 3/4 “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I WILL SHEW THEE MY FAITH BY MY WORKS". Jam. 2/18.

 

You know when a woman can see the complete surrender, trust, commitment and love in a man for Christ in his life, it`s not hard for her to surrender, submit  to his authority, obey, trust, and bask in his love for her: But you already know that don`t you: Read her poems and judge in yourselves what manner of woman she be and ask yourselves a question, where does she get her ministry from???? And you know something, I`m the first to be blessed with the FRUIT of her life Praise God. “The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.” 2 Tim. 2/6. “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.” Pro. 31/10-11.

 

And all you men pleasers think that I`m missing out by not fellowshipping with you, WOULD YOU SLEEP IN A BED FULL OF BRIERS, THORNS AND SCORPIONS? Ez. 2/6. I have to interact with you, but I don`t have to be in bed with you, intimate, (You guys can`t handle it when somebody fully submits and trusts you with their life anyway; THAT`S BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU`RE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE IT!!),  give me a break, I`ve already been there and been bitten many times, I`m not about to do it again: “BEHOLD, I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES: BE YE THEREFORE, WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES.” Math. 10/16. “BEWARE OF MEN!!!!”

 

You all think this position isn`t scriptural, me not committing to any of you, BUT IT IS! JESUS DID IT! READ JOHN 2/23-25. AND NOTICE HE IS TALKING ABOUT BELIEVERS THAT JESUS WOULDN`T COMMIT TO HERE!!  AND AGAIN, “LET US GO FORTH THEREFORE UNTO HIM WITHOUT THE CAMP, BEARING HIS REPROACH, FOR HERE HAVE WE NO CONTINUING CITY, BUT WE SEEK ONE TO COME.” Heb.13/13-14.  “My cup runneth over.” “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”

 

 I have everything that Adam had at the dawn of creation, Love, intimacy, fellowship with my Loving Father, my God, my Creator, my Saviour, my Friend, my Guide, my Mentor, MY HERO, MY IDOL, and the help, companionship, communion, intimacy, trust obedience, submission,  tenderness and love of a woman moulded by the hands of the Creator Himself: Thank you Father, what did I ever do to deserve this, NOTHING, “It`s your good pleasure to give unto me the Kingdom.” Luke 12/32. What can I say Father?……thank you, I love you.

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD:

 

“WHO SHALL LAY ANYTHING TO THE CHARGE OF GOD`S ELECT? IT IS GOD THAT JUSTIFIETH. WHO IS HE THAT CONDEMNETH? IT IS CHRIST THAT DIED, YEA RATHER, THAT IS RISEN AGAIN, WHO IS EVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, WHO ALSO MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US. ROM. 8/33-34.  “WHO ART THOU THAT JUDGEST ANOTHER MAN`S SERVANT? TO HIS OWN MASTER HE STANDETH OR FALLETH. YEA, HE SHALL BE HOLDEN UP: FOR GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE HIM STAND. ROM. 14/4.

"AND AS HE SAID THESE THINGS UNTO THEM, THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES BEGAN TO URGE HIM VEHEMENTLY, AND TO PROVOKE HIM TO SPEAK OF MANY THINGS: LAYING WAIT FOR HIM, AND SEEKING TO CATCH SOMETHING OUT OF HIS MOUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM". LUKE 11/53-54.

 

The hypocrites today are no different, they lay in wait looking for something to accuse the "Elect" of, and if they can`t find anything in the present, they go digging up the past of the righteous looking for the sin of the old life that has been "forgiven, blood washed and bought by Christ" to disparage and scandalize "the Beloved". In so doing they are totally blind to their own degenerate, reprobate condition as they go about dispensing their hatred for "The Word" (Math. 13/21, Mk. 4/17) and the righteous. John 8/37,40,41,44. (Notice in this chapter, verse 52 the Jews, the hypocrites deny that they are seeking to kill Christ as he informed them prior in verses 37 and 40,.....then in the very last verse of the chapter, verse 59 "they take up stones to cast at him"), totally in denial and DELUDED JUST LIKE THE RELIGIOUS, MAN PLEASING HYPOCRITES ARE TODAY.

 

"REMEMBER THE WORD THAT I SAID UNTO YOU, THE SERVANT IS NOT GREATER THAN HIS LORD. IF THEY HAVE PERSECUTED ME, THEY WILL ALSO PERSECUTE YOU"; JOHN 15/20. If they persecuted Christ who was without sin,..........HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THEY PERSECUTE HIS ELECT WHO ONCE WERE FILTHY SINNERS BUT ARE NOW WASHED AND FORGIVEN?

 

"BUT ALL THESE THINGS WILL THEY DO UNTO YOU FOR MY NAME`S SAKE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOT HIM THAT SENT ME". JOHN 15/21.

 

Loving Father`s Elect however, know that when the persecution  happens to them, it is confirmation that they are "in that place", pleasing HIM, therefore they have cause to rejoice "for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven". Math. 5/10.

 

"YEA, AND ALL THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION". 2 TIM. 3/12,

 

 

No wonder Loving Father said to me,...."AND THOU, SON OF MAN, BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM, NEITHER BE AFRAID OF THEIR WORDS, THOUGH BRIERS AND THORNS BE WITH THEE, AND THOU DOST DWELL AMONG SCORPIONS BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR WORDS, NOR BE DISMAYED AT THEIR LOOKS, THOUGH THEY BE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE". EZ. 2/6.

 

SO BE AWARE,....IF YOU ARE LAMPOONING ONE OF LOVING FATHER`S ELECT, OR CONTEMPLATING IT,....BE WARNED:

 

WHEN IT DOES COME OUR WAY HOWEVER, WE CHOOSE TO REMAIN OBEDIENT TO CHRIST. MATH. 5/39-48, RO. 12/14,17-21.

 

DOES ALL THIS OFFEND YOU??..........PRAISE GOD: To quote one of your “little boy`s club`s” quotes, DEAD MEN DON`T SQUEAL: If this offends you, take heed to yourselves, YOU`RE NOT QUITE DEAD TO SIN YET ARE YOU?  But, you know, don`t take my word for it all, GO AND ASK HIM YOURSELF, He might tell you that I`m just a religious kook full of it: And if He does, I wouldn`t care,  I would rejoice, because I would then know, that you are in that “place of hearing,” where “faith comes", and you can “see the Kingdom", thus being able to “enter the Kingdom,”  by choosing to obey what He has just spoken to you, so that by your obedience you become righteous, thus walking in the “armour of God", manifesting “the fruits of the Spirit",  “abiding in the secret place of the Most High", “under the Shadow of The Almighty", Being blessed, “makerios".

 

You know it`s all so simple, Paul wasn`t kidding when he said “the simplicity of Christ.”  REPENT, SURRENDER, TRUST, LISTEN, OBEY, IT`S THAT SIMPLE:

 

 

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

 

 

TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PROUD,  HATEFUL, HURTFUL,  UNFORGIVING, REPROBATE CONDITION,.................. HUMBLE YOURSELF AND REPENT!

 

 

“see that ye refuse not Him that speaketh;”

                   THIS MAN IS NOT OF GOD BECAUSE

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: “HOW CAN A MAN THAT IS A SINNER DO SUCH MIRACLES?” JOHN 9/16.

 

Math. 23/34. “Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:”

 

“And Saul (Paul) was consenting unto his death.” Acts 8/1. “As for Saul (Paul) he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hailing men and women committed them to prison.” Acts 8/3. “And Saul, (Paul) yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.” Acts 9/1-2

 

HOW CAN A MAN THAT IS A SINNER DO SUCH MIRACLES? Acts 20/9-12, Acts 28/3-6, Acts 16/16-18, Acts 16/25-26, Acts 14/8-11, Acts 19/6, Acts 19/11-12:

 

“And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him. Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.” Math. 26/75.

 

HOW CAN A MAN THAT IS A SINNER DO SUCH MIRACLES? Acts 3/1-8, Acts 5/3-5, Acts 5/15-16, Acts 5/18-19, Acts 1-/44:

 

“For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God:” Rom. 3/23.

 

How then can these men that are such sinners do such miracles? Moses, Joshua, Samson, Gideon, Elijah, Elisha, and many more:

 

How then can these men that are such sinners see such visions and dreams, and “hear the Word of the Lord” and expound His Truth? Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Amos, Micah, Zechariah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Jonah, Hosea, Nahum, Obadiah, Malachi:

 

HOW CAN THESE SINNERS HAVE WRITTEN THE BIBLE??????

 

HOW CAN THESE MEN BE “MEN OF GOD?????

 

“THEREFORE SAID SOME OF THE PHARISEES, THIS MAN IS NOT OF GOD BECAUSE”……………….. John 9/16.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: “TAKE HEED THEREFORE THAT THE LIGHT WHICH IS IN THEE BE NOT DARKNESS.” LUKE 11/35.

 

You won`t know that Prophet, or Scribe, or Wise Man by outward appearance, by his past, by reputation or recommendation, when he brings the “Word of the Lord” to you; He is not going to fit your carnal concept of what a “Man of God” should look like, and how he should behave; “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” John 7/24;

 

You will know him by the “Word of Truth” that is in him, 2 Cor. 4/2, 2 Cor. 6/7, Eph. 1/13, Eph. 4/15, Eph. 4/25, 2 Tim. 2/15, Jam. 1/18, 1 John 3/18, his unseen garments, Eph. 6/13-18, and his fruit: Math. 7/16, 7/20.

 

“WE ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH US; HE THAT IS NOT OF GOD HEARETH NOT US. HEREBY KNOW WE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR.” 1 JOHN 4/6.

 

“TAKE HEED THEREFORE HOW YE HEAR: FOR WHOSOEVER HATH, TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN; AND WHOSOEVER HATH NOT, FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN EVEN THAT WHICH HE SEEMETH TO HAVE.” LUKE 8/18 AND AGAIN MK. 4/24-25.

 

“BUT WHOSO SHALL OFFEND ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES WHICH BELIEVE IN ME, IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILLSTONE WERE HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK, AND THAT HE WERE DROWNED IN THE DEPTH OF THE SEA.” Math. 18/6.

 

“AND WHOSO SHALL RECEIVE ONE SUCH LITTLE CHILD IN MY NAME RECEIVETH ME.” MATH. 18/5. Oh I know what you are thinking, Jesus is talking about little children here; yep that`s right, “VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” MATH. 18/3. How did Jesus address the disciples at the sea of Tiberias after His resurrection? “CHILDREN!!!!! HAVE YOU ANY MEAT?” JOHN 21/5.

 

 

TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES!!!! HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                      WHO IS THAT MAN?

 

Thus saith The Lord God:

 

“And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men`s bones shall be burnt upon thee.” 1 Kings 13/1-2.

 

WHO WAS THIS MAN????

 

“And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back: And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulcher of thy fathers.” 1 Kings 13/20-22.

 

WHO WAS THIS MAN????

 

“And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.” 1 Kings 20/28

 

WHO WAS THIS MAN????

 

“And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him. Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him. Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets. And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.” 1 Kings 20/35-43.

 

WHO WAS THIS MAN????

 

“So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel. And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel. For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall and him that is shut up and left in Israel: And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? Wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. 2 Kings 9/4-13.

 

WHO WAS THIS YOUNG MAN????

 

WHO WERE THESE MEN? WERE THEY NOT PROPHETS, SERVANTS OF THE LORD??

 

DID THEY NOT DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN??

 

DID THEY NOT SPEAK “THE WORD OF THE LORD??”

 

WOULDN`T YOU LIKE TO KNOW THEIR NAMES, THEIR BACKGROUND, WHO THEY WERE SUBMITTED TO, WHERE THEIR AUTHORITY TO DO SUCH THINGS CAME FROM???? SO THAT HAVING ASCERTAINED WHO THEY WERE, THEIR CREDENTIALS, THEIR REPUTATION, THEIR INTEGRITY, HAVING FOUND OUT NAMES SO THAT YOU COULD GET REFERENCES,.......................... ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THEIR RIGHT TO DO SUCH THINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS, APPROVAL,............ CONFIRMATION FROM “OTHER MEN,” BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW ALL THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU COULD BELIEVE THE ABOVE SCRIPTURES ARE OF A CERTAINITY FROM THE LORD SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR, TAKE HEED AND BELIEVE WHAT IS WRITTEN;…….OH I`M SORRY, YOU ALREADY BELIEVE THAT THE ABOVE SCRIPTURES ARE FROM THE LORD;….YOU ALREADY BELIEVE THAT THEY SPOKE “THE WORD OF THE LORD;…..TCH TCH, HOW SILLY OF ME NOT TO REALISE THAT, I THOUGHT BY ALL YOUR RESPONSES TO “HOW DARE YOU” THAT THESE FACTS HAD TO BE ESTABLISHED BEFORE YOU WOULD SET YOUR STAMP OF APPROVAL ON “HOW DARE YOU,” TAKE HEED TO THE THINGS WRITTEN THEREIN AND “HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD” AND OBEY!!!

 

YOU HAVEN`T GOT A PROBLEM BELIEVING THE “HOLY WRITINGS” WHEN YOU READ THE BOOKS OF ESTHER, KINGS, SAMUEL, RUTH, JUDGES, HEBREWS, ALL OF WHICH THE AUTHORS ARE UNKNOWN; AND THE BOOKS OF LAMENTATIONS, SONG OF SOLOMON, ECCLESIASTES, THE UNASCRIBED PSALMS, (ORPHAN PSALMS,) JOB, EZRA, CHRONICLES, SAMUEL, JOSHUA, GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, DEUTERONOMY, MATHEW, ALL OF WHICH THE AUTHORS ARE ASCRIBED AS BEING UNCERTAIN, ATTRIBUTED TO, PROBABLY, MAYBE, TRADITIONALLY, OR ANONYMOUS???

 

WHY HAVE YOU GOT A PROBLEM READING AND HEARING WHAT IS SPOKEN AND WRITTEN BY THE LORD`S SERVANTS TO-DAY?????

 

IT`S NOT IMPORTANT WHO IS IT? WHAT`S HIS NAME? WHERE DOES HE COME FROM? WHAT MINISTRY IS HE UNDER? WHO IS HE SUBMITTED TO? WHO GAVE HIM THE AUTHORITY TO DO THIS? WHAT DOES HE DO?

 

THE ONLY THING THAT IS IMPORTANT IS “THE WORD OF THE LORD:”

 

IF IT BE “THE WORD OF THE LORD,” TAKE HEED HEAR & OBEY!

IT MATTERS NOT WHO DELIVERS IT,…..IT ONLY MATTERS THAT IT IS DELIVERED, AND THAT IT IS “THE WORD OF THE LORD!!!!”

 

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO IS IT? ISN`T IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT IS “THE WORD OF THE LORD,” AND YOU ARE JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO REFUSE, IGNORE, DISREGARD, DISOBEY AND JUSTIFY YOURSELVES AS BEING RIGHT AND NOT HAVE TO TAKE ANY NOTICE:

 

YOU`RE JUST LOOKING FOR A REASON TO DISREGARD, TRYING TO ABSOLVE YOURSELF FROM THE CONVICTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

 

IF THIS IS YOUR REACTION, THEN YOU`RE ALREADY IN BIG TROUBLE,

 

TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, HUMBLE YOURSELVES AND REPENT OF YOUR PRIDE:

 

YOU BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES, BUT NOT GOD`S SERVANTS TO-DAY; “WOE UNTO YOU! FOR YE BUILD THE SEPULCHRES OF THE PROPHETS, AND YOUR FATHERS KILLED THEM. TRULY YE BEAR WITNESS THAT YE ALLOW THE DEEDS OF YOUR FATHERS: FOR THEY INDEED KILLED THEM, AND YE BUILD THEIR SEPULCHRES. (by preaching, teaching and believing the scriptures;) Luke 11/47-48, and again Math. 23/29-31.

 

“AND THIS IS THE RECORD OF JOHN, WHEN THE JEWS SENT PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO ASK HIM, WHO ART THOU? AND HE CONFESSED, AND DENIED NOT; BUT CONFESSED, I AM NOT THE CHRIST. AND THEY ASKED HIM, WHAT THEN? ART THOU ELIAS? AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT. ART THOU THAT PROPHET? AND HE ANSWERED, NO. THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, WHO ART THOU? THAT WE MAY GIVE AN ANSWER TO THEM THAT SENT US. WHAT SAYEST THOU OF THYSELF?......HE SAID,….

 

I AM THE VOICE……OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD, AS SAID THE PROPHET ESAIAS. AND THEY WHICH WERE SENT WERE OF THE PHARISEES.” John 1/19-24.

 

“A PROPHET HATH NO HONOUR IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.” John 4/44

 

Even John the Baptist would not “bear witness of himself,” but only of the “will of the Father in Heaven and His Word:”

 

Why do you suppose these prophets and scribes of the scriptures, and in the scriptures felt no need for “formal introductions and credentials????

 

COULD IT BE THAT THEY TRULY KNEW IN THEIR HEART THAT BECAUSE GOD TOLD THEM TO DO THIS, HE WOULD JUSTIFY THEM, HONOUR THEM, THUS HAVING NO NEED TO POUT THEIR OWN SELF IMPORTANCE???

 

COULD IT BE THAT THEY TRULY HAD A REVELATION OF “DENYING SELF?”

 

COULD IT BE THAT THEY TRULY KNEW THAT THE ONLY THING THAT IS IMPORTANT IS…. “THE WORD OF THE LORD”….

 

COULD IT BE THAT THEY KNEW IN THEIR HEARTS AS JOHN KNEW….

 

“HE MUST INCREASE, BUT I MUST DECREASE.” John 3/30.

 

BE WARNED!!! DON`T LOOK AT THE MAN….HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD AND OBEY!
