HOPE
Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. During the month of April, the Holy Spirit fast will bring us in to His Will; and shall be a light of comfort for us. Truth sets us free, but it is God Who is Truth. The fast will push us closer to Him, will produce direction where there was none--we shall learn many things as we begin a journey together. The provisions for the poor and needy will complete the fast--as our self-concerns and fears melt away. Many shall not see the calamities described in prior messages--the Lord divides His people and those He made for the earth, and He knows all the things to come. For there is peace, beyond understanding. There is hope, beyond hope. It cannot be described adequately unless you have been baptized in the Spirit of God. And if you are here you are baptized in the Spirit, and He will lead you to the Truth. No one can tell you your path except God. Sometimes He speaks through others and circumstances, but He also speaks directly to you as any Father would. When times are hard, turn to Him and a way will be made where there was no way before. And you cannot understand how it happened, as much of this is in remembrance. It happened last week, last night, some other time--or...I can't remember when it happened, I'm cured of it (disease, fear, disinformation, reversals, etc.)--but I don't know how. I can't remember the suffering. It happened, but now it seems abstract, like someone else. The difference is Him! He is a Person, your Father. He wants to be your Inner Voice as the Holy Spirit. The great news is that He wants to breathe life into you, because you are dead without Him. And the funny thing is...you do not know you are dead until He has breathed life into you! And then you see! And then you realize how we can rejoice no matter the circumstances. It is because we are not here--what you are seeing is a person going through life. But we exist now in Eternity. Our life is there...and the fruits of Eternity (God)--the laughter, the joy, the selfless acts of kindness and mercy, the Christlikeness--are evident, yet we are living in a completely different time and place and do not really see the circumstances you see. It is veiled until you live. Because of certain geo-political events to occur very soon it becomes appealing to Fear God and take Eternity now. Take forgiveness now. Live for Him instead of yourself--and you will leave it all behind, though others still see the you that continues--now a light, now changed. Please allow these words to be the lifting of a veil. This is the time. This is Holy Spirit baptism, without which one cannot know God. Yes, many experts do not know God. You can. Many pastors and priests and rabbis and scholars and all those society has appointed do not know Him. You can. The World does not know Him. You can. * * * Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost [Spirit] which is given unto us. |
