1.One, And Only One Mediator Between God And Man. This One Mediator Is Jesus Christ. 1Tim 2:5
A. A great error transpires in people's lives when they choose or allow any other person or thing stand between them and God the Father. It is Jesus who is our all in all. He is our Good Shepherd, our Chief Apostle, Our Teacher, The Prophet, and The Messiah known as “Christ” in the Greek language. There are many things that Jesus is to us. He is to be our very life! We need to be found in Christ. That means our old man, the old ways of Adam, and his deeds, are crucified and buried. Then we are quickened by the Spirit of God in newness of life. When we swerve from Jesus being our everything and let something else act as a mediator between us and God—we lose.

B. The carnal nature seeks what it can see, touch or hear in natural means. Therefore, those governed by carnality will place people as spiritual mediators between themselves and God the Father.

C. Various forms of the corrupt religious system are maintained by the masses following men and serving men instead of Jesus Christ the Lord.

D. It is vital for disciples of Jesus to follow their leader the Shepherd who loved them, laid down His life for them. Though we do not see Jesus in the flesh, we are to believe and rejoice with joy unspeakable. This is a walk of faith not by sight. So, seek the Lord and follow Him.

E. God may use people through His Spirit but it is important to keep your spiritual eyes and senses upon the Lord at all times drawing on the Lord through vessels He chooses to use. Having said this, it is imperative to continue to put all things to a test and try the spirits. Daily. Moment by moment. Just because someone was of God yesterday, does not mean they are serving the Lord today. Consider Peter the apostle how he was influenced by Satan in opposing Jesus and His determination to go to the cross and fulfill scripture. So, put all things to a test and hold on to what is good, but always look for the activity of the Spirit of God and do not be under the influence of flesh or spirits that are contrary.

F. A horrible and hideous thing was committed by the ancients of the faith when they departed from the Living God who is the Fountain of Living Waters, and turned unto cisterns, broken cisterns, that could not contain any water. This was an illustration of when the people of Israel and Judah had turned from God who sees, hears and knows everything, and put their allegiance to men and a system of religion which was tangible.

G. We have to know God as more real in His eternal realm of the spirit than things we have known in this temporal world that is passing away. Think about this. What is more real to you? Let God work in your life to be so real, so wonderful, so awesome, that you walk in this awareness and nearness of His vast power.

H. We have a mediator. We have a person who was tempted like we in all manner yet without sin. This is Jesus. We can come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy in the time of need. Delight in your Savior your mediator. Turn from the replacements.



2. The Way Of Cain.
A. This is a very serious issue that is spoken in many ways in scripture.
Jud 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
And,
1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

B. The way of Cain is a great error. He was a murderer. He hated his brother because his own deeds were evil and his brother's were righteous. Talk about wicked jealousy, malice and envy. This is the way of the flesh. Cain was of the wicked one Satan. We have to realize that there are many people that have chosen this path. There are even more yet to turn from Christ and go this way as Jude warned. But woe unto them!

C. There are people who hate to see good happen to others. There are people who want bad to happen to others, especially those who are simple ones in the faith.

D.
1Jo 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. Yes, the Word says not to marvel, but it is still amazing somehow how people will just plain hate you for no reason. They just hate you because you are loved by God and walk with Him. They hate Him, so they hate you. Just understand that Cain and his ways are all around you.

E. Lastly, make sure none of this Cainism is in you. Renounce it. Turn from it and believe God to wash and regenerate you from this great sin.


3. Be Sensitive To Hear.
A. I was thinking today how we need to be very careful and sensitive to the voice of the Lord. I had this illustrated to me as I was backing up in a parking lot and had the quiet still small voice of the LORD give me caution. I took note, and looked repeatedly as I was backing up my car and sure enough, there was a erratic driver backing up hurriedly and could have struck me. Thank you Lord. See, the Lord is speaking but we can miss it so easily.

B. I was thanking the Lord about this and remembered several times when I could have missed this very quiet still small voice. There were so many times when heeding the Lord's voice brought great blessing and Him using me in some very profound way. I recall telling myself how I almost missed it. There were times when this prompting has led to a person hearing the gospel and specific words from the Lord that showed how much He cared about them as I ministered to a total stranger.

C. Give ear. Take heed. Be sensitive to the Lord. Know the things that cloud and spurn the hearing of the Lord. Eating, drinking (gorging on carnal life) and the cares of life may cloud your discernment to the spiritual life of God. Sin, pride, foolishness, self-centeredness, or the like are sure ways to lead you away from hearing the Lord. So, stay crucified, and vivified in Jesus. Stay sensitive and expect God to be guiding and leading you. After all, you are sons of God, yes? The sons of God are led by God. The sons of Adam do as Adam. Like father, like son...



4. To
Know Him.
A. Phl 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

B. Knowing the Lord is a lot more than knowing about Him or having head-knowledge. It is very deep and should be the greatest delight to you.

C. Knowing Him changes you. Loving Him. Admiring Him. Yielding to Him. These are important keys to our spiritual life.


5. Humanism, Ecumenicism And The One World Religion Of The Antichrist Beast.
A. I am convinced that the Last Days Antichrist Beast System will be/is humanitarian. It will do seemingly “good works” for the good of humanity all the while walking in deliberate rebellion to God.

B. The Beast System will elevate and worship 'man' and not God who made man.

C. So it is vital to be able discern between good and evil, flesh and spirit, Kingdom of God versus the Kingdom of man and Satan.

D. The melting pot of ecumenicism blends all religious thought and spirit into one. It is a hodge-podge of Satan the deceiver. Today, we have many in the church world turning from the truth unto fables even denying the Lord that bought them by their deeds and beliefs. Glossy books and goofy TV religious programming have gone the way of the world and marketed the latest taste in religion.

E. Feast on the Word of God and the True Manna that is Jesus Christ Himself and nothing else will compare. But those who eat the 'white bread' gospel have given themselves over to the chaff of the wheat and all the man-made synthetic ideas that can not save but only lead to death. Choose the Bread of Life, Jesus. Jesus actually warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of Herod and the Pharisees.
Mar 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.


6. Lay Down Your Life To Find It. Preserve Your Life To Lose It. Two Different Gospels.
A. Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

B. This is another warning in this regard to listen closely to the words of people who suppose to speak on behalf of Jesus Christ. If they speak and urge you into self-preservation then they have revealed what gospel they preach. That is a gospel of self-reliance that leads to death. If those who speak urge you to lay down your life and follow Christ having simple faith in Him, then they are proclaiming the gospel of Jesus that leads to life.

C. Which gospel do you follow?

D. An important thing I have observed since being involved with international communications is I have seen so many hear and talk about the Lord without truly serving the Lord in their personal lives. So many will say, 'we have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets' (via audios), but the Lord will tell them to depart because they never truly served Him. What a tragic thing that is.

I have also observed so many people clinging to this world as God is judging it. These people desperately love this world as Lot's wife loved Sodom and they look back as God's fiery judgments smoke in their land. They are offended by God. They do not love the eternal Kingdom of God or our true calling as pilgrims and strangers in this world just passing through unto the eternal Kingdom of our Lord. No, they hate to see their easy selfish lifestyle of Americanism vanishing away.
Luke13:24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out

E. This is important to ponder. Be honest with yourself. Examine yourself and see if you are truly in the faith or a reprobate.
2Cr 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?


8. The
I m a g e O f J e a l o u s y. Ezekiel's Revelation Of The Corrupted Religious System.
A. I reread Ezekiel 5-10 this week as directed by the Spirit and was stunned in my spirit by several issues in this reading.
1. “Now is the judgment”. It is an evil time. An evil time. God is going to judge His own professing people first before the world. They have gone astray for the most part and rejected the word of the prophets who called them to amend their ways and turn from their wickedness. They have refused and say that God will not act and He does not see what they are truly doing. God is furious over this.

2. God showed Ezekiel the evil among His sanctuary. In fact, God had to leave it due to the wickedness.
Eze 8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.
a. How sad when God has to leave His own house! Who cares? Certainly not the prophets, the priests or the people. Jer 2:6 and 8

3. God showed Ezekiel His own personal hurt. He showed Ezekiel deeper and yet deeper sin of the religious people. God had a broken heart by their whorish heart for other idols.

4. God showed the 70 leaders and the evil of their imaginations. God showed Ezekiel the women weeping for the heathen god Tammuz (Easter). God showed Ezekiel the 25 leaders facing East and worshiping the sun.

5. God showed Ezekiel the “
IMAGE OF JEALOUSYthat provokes God to jealousy. Woe, woe woe.
And what is this image ladies and gentlemen? What is an image but the works of man's hands. What image do men make but one of their own imagination? The image the religious idolaters have made and continue to make is one of their own religious imagination and it provokes God to wrath. He leaves the scene and they do not even perceive.

Thus says the LORD, I am against the idols. I am against the idol makers. I am against the idol worshipers. I shall utterly confound your gods. I am the LORD. I am God and there is no other. I am He that founded the heavens. The earth and all the things My own hands have made. Repent. Repent for I am bringing judgment upon all the gods of the land. I shall utterly purge My House. I shall sweep it clean says the Lord. I shall be sanctified among My people and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Ezekiel 8:3And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 4And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. 5Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

9. Last Weeks THEMES FOR the WEEK Confirmations Rapid From Shore To Shore.
A. Last week I wrote in THEMES FOR THE WEEK about the lies and myths that are projected by the powers-that-be. I documented the fake stories, the media made stories and fake pictures. This week saw the LORD shouting from the rooftop the hypocrisy of the lying leaders lying to the liars of the world. Praise God for His truth. God never lies. No truth is a lie. Lies are for the liars.

B.
Link: Story on Obama and 911 Lies

C.
Hawaiian detective charges Obama's birth cert fraud fake.

D.

E.

10. God Is Judging And Here Is Why.
By Trevor Davis April 28, 2006
A.
God is now standing up to judge. He is going to send multiple cataclysmic judgments suddenly and at the same time. Though He sends signs from the heavens and the earth below, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, winds, heat and cold, though He sends a lack of food and water, pestilence, plagues and wars, though there is political oppression and tyranny the majority of the masses will refuse to repent. They will NOT...


11. Last Week The Fires And Tornadoes. This Week The Floods.
A. Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


12. Void Devoid Ministers Of Ecumenicism. Empty Vessels Thriving.
A. Discern.
B. Watch and pray.
C. Test the spirits.
D. Don't believe every spirit.
E. Prove all things. Hold on to what is good.
F. The Word and Spirit agree. They are one. No contradictions in the ministry of Christ.
G. God's ministries serve Him, love Him, speak of Him, glorify Him, obey Him, are like Him.
H. Satan's ministries are like him, they lie, deceive, hate, are about themselves, are without God, are without the Spirit.
I. God said in Malachi that those who fear the Lord will speak often one to another and they will discern him that serves God from him that serves Him not.
Malachi 3:16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

God bless you. Serve the Lord. He is good.
