– EVALUATE THE GRACE OF GOD
“What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Certainly not.” (Rom 6:15)
CORRECT EVALUATION OF GRACE
First stone.
The Lord is calling us today to appreciate the grace of God.
Scripture says, “What shall we say then? Shall we remain in sin so that grace may be multiplied? No way” (Romans 6:1).
Have you become closer to God, has your prayer life increased, have you come closer to the Word, has there become more love in you? Look at the fruits – what is happening to you and are you becoming Christlike people?
Watch what you listen to.
No matter how effective or charismatic the preacher is, what matters is where we get to if we go with him.
Today we often hear sermons about multiplying of earthly values. But there are a lot of faithful believers who don’t need a “third house” – this has never been their spiritual goal, it distracts them from the path for Christ. Their interests and goals always lie in the spiritual plane, and their strivings are not directed towards earthly “goods”, and they go in the “heavenly” quite consciously, and their decision is verified and balanced!
How can one preach these “matter passions” and consider that powerful?
– We have other goals.
Genuine Christians are content with a simple life, with no “thirst” for more and more expensive houses, cars, clothes, and luxuries.
Even if they had some capital, they would still continue to live modestly, without being distracted by “earthly values”.
A high quality of life is good, and there is nothing sinful in it, but one must always test one’s conscience comparing it with the life of one’s neighbor and the Teaching of Christ about the life of a spiritual person!
There are also poor people in churches, and they may have a different structure of thinking. They don’t seek earthly good. The Lord cares for them. It is written: “Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left in the land of Judah the poor people who had nothing, and then gave them vineyards and fields at the same time” (Jeremiah 39:10).
Why should people who live in poverty feel inferior to the “prosperous”, and sometimes even guilty?
You are the church of Christ – all the people are God’s, and they should equally receive the love of their Father.
It’s good when people can improve the quality of life, but this should never become a sign of spirituality, a reason for exalting a person over a person if we are one family.
Hold fast to the family of Christ, the fellowship of the Son. Because otherwise you can lose your sense of smell and vision, and you won’t be able to see that you no longer look like Christians.
This word is for the saints of God, so that they rise up, and not yield to an “infringed teaching” and walk in the Glory of God.
So appreciate the grace of God that has been given to you.
Find people who elevate you, who are holier than you, and lead you to the “heavenly”. Don’t lower your goals in God. We want to be holier, purer, higher, more humble and modest in the Lord.
Evaluate God’s Grace!
2- GOD HIMSELF WILL CHOOSE AND PUT MAN FOR THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH
“When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over my people” (1 Samuel 9:17).
Second stone.
God’s people will rise up, whom God will raise, not men.
Samuel was a holy man with a powerful word, but old age came, succession was needed. People began to talk that he was getting old, and his sons weren’t following his ways, they began to ask for a king. The Lord made this decision – He gave a king.
And this anguish, this mistake, was revealed in Saul – this was the first king whom Samuel appointed at the request of the people. This unrefined error happened, it manifested in him with this poisonous grain, Saul fell away. And one better than him rose up after him.
Many churches grow through nepotism. Sometimes there are good sons and daughters, they move on in the anointing. But there should be no connections in the church after the decision of men. The ministry will not be imparted through friendship, nor through family ties, it will be imparted from the Lord – by God and the Spirit of God.
Those who will impart according to human tradition – this will take place – they will also have, as it were, success, but will be deprived of royal and prophetic guidance.
That is, such churches will not speak from glory. They will not manifest glory, because “human admixture” will not allow them to “fly”.
Therefore, we must look today for those, whom God has marked and appointed, and not man. God will do it Himself. Watch.
3- GOD’S TRUE GOVERNMENT
“For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. For this reason, the woman ought to have symbol of authority on her head because of the Angels. Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God” (1 Corinthians 11:8-12).
. GOD WILL RESTORATE THE TRUE PRINCIPLES OF AUTHORITY AND GOVERNANCE IN THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH
. WOMAN WILL NOT RULE OVER MAN
. BUT, RIGHT GOVERNANCE WILL LEAD TO PEACE AND UP BUILDING OF FAMILIES AND CHURCHES
. THE MALE COMPONENT OF THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH
Third stone.
The Lord is bringing back the governance of God.
God will restore the true principles of authority and government in the Apostolic Church.
It looks distorted when woman rules over man in the church of Christ.
Scripture says, “I do not permit a woman to teach, or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:12).
This is the Word of God speaking.
Woman is part of man she is the bone of his bone, but she can’t rule over him. Today, this nature of Eve, unpurified, who sinned, can’t enter into all spheres, because God did not give her this authority.
It’s part of her redemption, her nature.
When this component begins to get on the throne and reign, trouble begins, destruction begins among the saints.
God will restore true government. Right government will lead to peace and up building of families and churches.
The male component, the paternal component will come out on top.
God is the Father. We all pray to God the Father.
And the Lord made everyone equal: He calls us the Bride. We are the Bride.
We accept everything that God has said about us, we love the Word, we love the Father.
For us, this equalization is wonderful.
Christ is not without a Bride.
But the Bride doesn’t rule over Christ the Bridegroom! She doesn’t lead Him and she doesn’t show Him the direction where to go.
Today they are, as it were, “torn apart” by time and earth, but they will be one and submit to God, and God will be all in all.
This does not mean that Jesus will dissolve and the Bride will disappear and we will all go into “nothing”.
No! Christ will enter in all His fullness, and the Bride in the same way – in eternity, in obedience to the Heavenly Father, where there will be no sin.
4- GOD’S TESTIMONY AND PRESENCE AT THE EASTERN GATES WILL MULTIPLY.
BUT, BOTH THE JUDGMENT AND THE PUNISHMENT OF THE LORD WILL INCREASE OVER THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST GOD’S GRACE.
“Now My eyes will be opened and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
As for you, if you walk before Me, as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, “You shall not fail to have a man as a ruler in Israel.
But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for My name, I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples” (2 Chronicles 7:15-20).
GOD’S EARS, EYES AND HEART WILL BE ATTENTIVE TO THE EASTERN GATEs!
. THE REWARD WILL COME OPENLY TO THOSE WHO WALK BEFORE GOD
(WILL BE EXPRESSED BY STRONG LEADERSHIP AND FAITHFUL DISCIPLES)
. THE JUDGMENTS ON WICKEDNESS WILL ALSO INCREASE
Fourth stone.
God’s testimony of the favor of His presence at the Eastern Gates will be multiplied.
This is not only about geographical location. This is about those who are under the mantle of the Gates. Both grace and glory will be multiplied over the faithful ones!
Both judgment and punishment will be intensified on those who sin against the grace of God.
The Lord says He is intensifying His presence.
He showed that the Throne was above the Gates, and now it has descended next, and the people of light began to transform.
That’s the way it should be.
He says that “Now the eyes will be opened and the ears attentive to the prayers in this place, for I have chosen and sanctified this place so that My Name may dwell there.”
This is an reinforcement: God’s ears, eyes, heart will be attentive to the Eastern Gates. And the reward will come clearly for those who walk with God.
It will be expressed in strong leadership, faithful disciples, but will also intensify the judgments of the wicked.
Don’t play with sin!
When the Lord comes near, danger approaches for the wicked. When He is close, it doesn’t mean you will have more fun in life.
If you do not live on the side of God, this is a danger for you, this is a threat.
Everything can collapse – from business to health. It may not come immediately, but it will be clearly visible.
It is part of judgments, part of holiness, part of what is called the fear of the Lord.
“Woe to the wicked! Woe to you who are at ease in Zion!” because the Lord has come near. When the Lord draws near, we say, “Come!” Saints are waiting. But danger also approaches if you are in wickedness.
And if you are in the purity and holiness of God, you receive the nearness of grace and blessing.
5- THE TIME OF ISRAEL’S ASCENSION INTO DESTINY IN THE LORD
. ISRAEL WILL BE EVEN CLOSER TO THE CENTRAL PLACE IN THE ARENA OF HISTORY
“Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness. For I speak to you Gentiles; in as much I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them? For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:12-15)
. ISRAEL WILL INCREASINGLY ASCEND INTO THE FULLNESS OF THE PROMISE
. MORE AND MORE JEALOUSY FOR GOD WILL ARISE AMIDST THE ISRAELITES
. MORE AND MORE ISRAELITES WILL RECEIVE THEIR MESSIAH YESHUA!
. BUT!!! THEY MUST GROW IN AND BEGIN TO ZEALOUSLY ACCEPT THE FAITHFUL ONES FROM THE GENTILES!
Fifth stone.
This is the time of Israel’s ascension into destiny in the Lord. Israel will increasingly take center stage in history.
“Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness.” (Romans 11:12).
Paul says that he provokes jealousy in his keens men through what serving the Gentiles. “For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:15). That is, the sunrise is approaching.
Israel will increasingly enter into the fullness of the promises.
This is true. It is natural.
She is closer to the fullness of the promises.
It can’t be that Israel has fallen away forever. The Scripture says what will happen to him.
Jealousy for God will begin to rise. Perhaps it is manifested so far only in those who confess Judaism.
But they are on the way. Don’t be afraid of this jealousy. When you see it rise, rejoice!
This jealousy will bring them out like the sound of thunder. When the thunder roared and the lightning split the veil, then the earth shook.
Every nation needs that kind of thunder!
More and more Israelis will accept their Messiah, Yeshua.
But Israel must begin to accept also the faithful ones from the Gentiles.
Pride has to be removed. Actually, Israel “lost” the first battle, crucified the Messiah.
And the Gentiles received Him – through the Jewish Apostles.
We will not argue, we need to stop the argument. We must accept each other. The church from the Gentiles accepts Israel, and Israel must accept the church from the Gentiles in a different way – not only to take financial assistance from them, but to serve them, to show the high nature of the Jewish man – Yeshua, to manifest Christ in themselves!
Show us, Messianic ones, Christ! We want to see the real Yeshua in you!
If you know Him, if He is yours first? Why don’t you manifest Him to us?
Why do we not see evidence in you that Yeshua is a Jew? Why don’t you yourself go to carry the Good News to the nations? I’m talking about the Messianic church.
The Gentile church also wants to receive ministry from you. And you rise above it.
Let’s stop focusing on exclusivity and special features, they don’t bring together, but take further apart. God has already brought everything together in His Word! You are no higher than the Gentile Christians. It’s just that everyone has their own goals.
The real Bride of Christ is all pure. There are no divisions.
Therefore, this revelation must be carried, and it must open the eyes.
6- RAISING THE LEADERS AND WARRIORS OF GOD
“The sons of Benjamin were: Bela, Becher and Jediael – three in all…. And they were recorded by genealogy according to their generations, according to the heads of their fathers’ houses, twenty thousand two hundred mighty men of valor” (1 Chronicles 7:6,9).
. RAISING OF APOSTLES OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT OF BENJAMINS (SPIRIT OF THE WILD WOLF)
“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.” (Genesis 49:27).
. THE DIMENSION OF THE WILD BENJAMINS ON THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS
. THEIR MINISTRY WILL INCLUDE SPIRIT WARRIORS WITH THE SPIRIT OF COURAGE
Sixth stone.
The Lord is raising up leaders and warriors of God.
Apostles and prophets rise in the spirit of Benjamin, the “wild wolf”.
He is a ravenous wolf: in the morning he eats prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil. Perhaps what he eats is something else that he gives. This also happens, but it leads to one goal and is made one in the Hidden God!
He will give the right food.
Apostles and prophets in the spirit of Benjamin are those who move in the anointing of Melchizedek – not of a church, not of a sectarian kind, but of walking in the Spirit – which will include both mystics, and praying ones, and prophets, and evangelists, and shepherds and teachers.
Also, people with a very “short” testimony or no bright episodes from either old or new life.
At one time, there came a large wave of rescued from drug addicts and those who previously served their sentences in prisons. Their testimonies were vivid and interesting to listen to. Of course, Great Glory to God for them!
Many good shepherds rose up – but there were also many “polluted” and “uncleansed from the earth” who shepherd the believing people: they were not appointed by Heaven, they were appointed by people.
It’s time for the Bride to ascend! God has other measures.
We will always have the poor with us, but we need to look further.
This is not yet the pure fruit that the Lord wants, including from the Russian-speaking world – shepherds and bishops from drug addicts.
Who you are in Christ now is what matters!
Your spiritual growth and the Path that will lead you to the Glory of God!
Christ is in the Spirit today, He is above culture, nation and past “accomplishments”. He comes to the nations and speaks in the pure dialect of each.
The way they look is the way they see Him.
He reveals Himself so to “His own, His keen people”, to the most intimate strings of their souls.
Do not “drag” Jesus to yourself – to your cultural and your own mental home.
The Lord raises people who see clearly, they don’t reject history, they take from there what will allow them to endure and not become partakers with those who killed the prophets.
One day, people spoke to Jesus, wanting to dissociate themselves from the “dark” past, trying to step away from the killers of the prophets to the side of the victims. But Jesus said about them that they were the children of those who beat the prophets. How is it?
The Lord gave you and me to solve this difficult task, and we will solve it.
7- BATTLE FOR UNITY
“It is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?” (First Corinthians 6:7).
. THERE WILL BE ATTACKS WITH THE DIVISION OF THE CHURCH
(RUMORS ABOUT SPLIT)
. BUT THE HIGH SPIRIT OF CHRIST’S MEEKNESS WILL OVERCOME ATTACKS ON THE BODY OF CHRIST
. FIGHT FOR UNITY WITH THE WEAPON OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST!
The last seventh stone.
The time will come, and has already come, when divisions will be a norm.
We will not even notice that this is a split. This is the spirit of division that lives in the midst of today’s Christian church.
People today freely leave churches, especially after the pandemic, without even considering it something abnormal.
Preachers openly lure people into their churches via Internet and call to leave the “dead communities”. Now it has become the norm.
The time is coming when calls to remain faithful will be laughed at, it will be old-fashioned “religiosity”.
True unity will be reviled. This will even be perceived as an “attack on freedom.”
This will also happen in the church, when individualism, instead of unity, will be valued and the call for unity will be regarded as an attack on your exclusivity.
So fight for unity.
You will hear about the divisions of the church, rumors of splits will arise more and more often, people will look for where it is better, where it is more successful. But the high spirit of Christ’s meekness will overcome these attacks on the Body of Christ. It is the meekness of Christ in you that will be an effective remedy against divisions. Overcome by the meekness of Christ!
We must accept and learn from the meekness of our Savior.
Fight for unity with the weapons of the Spirit of Christ.
It is He who will give us victory over division.
Keep this unity, because splits and divisions will become the norm, to which they will try to accustom us. But we won’t get used to it!
We will keep and multiply love and unity!
Rise up, new generation of people who will fight for the truth of God! Be faithful to death. Be faithful to the Word, do not look at the world, do not imit
ate those who take you down to “earthly” values, look at the Word and God, and those in whom Christ is reflected, and preach to the world the Crucified and Coming Messiah!
