Message about not looking at the world and living in purity as a single Christian female waiting upon the Lord for her husband {Boaz}
I hear the
Silent whispers
Opposing
All I am
And all that I do
I am not moved
I am not shaken
Because
The Lord is my
Confidence
And strength
He will lead
Me
To the top of
The golden mountain
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 ESV)
Men cannot see God but they can see other humans and see good works. When we reflect the attributes of God, we glorify God and inspire others to glorify God.
We are vessels of the goodness and grace of God – that is why we were born and redeemed. May we always be channels of that goodness and grace. Beloved, let your lights shine before others.
The Grace Of God
1: By grace we win favor
By God’s grace I have won the favor of the emperor, of his counselors, and of all his powerful officials; the Lord my God has given me courage, and I have been able to persuade many of the heads of the clans of Israel to return with me.” Ezra 7:28
The grand manifestation of grace was at the cross when Christ died in our place. By His death, God gave us grace and favor. God has always been a God of grace and He showed grace even in the Old Testament.
By God’s grace, Ezra won the favor of the emperor, his counselors and all his powerful officials. Amazing words from the Holy Scriptures. Grace is very powerful, vital and essential. A man without grace is a dead man – a living dead. All nature rebels against a man that is not enjoying the grace of God. Everything we get and experience in life is by the grace of God. Even what unbelievers, atheists and pagans have is by the grace of God.
The only difference is that they obtain their own favor through disobedience of worshiping idols who drink human blood in order to bless. Some do not directly worship idols as a conscious engagement, but because the foundations of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.
Human priests offer human blood in various symbolic forms, repeatedly, on behalf of sinners and for the sins of whole world. They offer sacrifices to sustain the world and to protect and bless even the ones who are not aware, including those who have no religion and those who constantly speak profanities against God.
They speak profanities because they are unconsciously drinking human blood and are sustained by the evil works of human priests. These are done in the secret and open places. The grand deception is that a lot of men do not know that it is human blood that sustains them. They are proud and believe that they do not need God, but unknown to them, blood and evil is sustaining them.
However their spirits know, but unfortunately the conscious mind does not know a lot of what the spirit of man knows. That is why men exhibit hatred for God and the blood of Jesus. The hatred is from their spirits that have been swallowed up by darkness and human blood.
They truly need prayers and help because they do not know what they are doing. They are in shackles controlled by the god of this world and are subjected to his will. It is the spirit of man that must repent because it is the spirit of man that enjoys evil even when the conscious mind hates evil.
And that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:26
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4
This the sin that God hates so much and the sin that leads unbelievers to hell no matter how good the unbeliever is. As long as he partakes of human blood consciously or unconsciously, he will go to hell. That he why the good news of deliverance from idol worship and human blood drinking is being preached so that they may accept the blood of Jesus and be saved.
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell. Acts 15:29
Men offer sacrifice for reparation and cleansing to avert and appease divine judgement. Satan, the destroyer and avenger is the one who carries out divine judgement and vengeance, so they bribe him with sacrifices and claim they are sacrificing to God. God does not have that type of time and hates bribes. He does not engage in trade by batter.
God has clearly said He does not want and is not pleased with burnt offerings and sacrifices to take away sin and would rather have obedience. We must obey and subject ourselves to the gospel and good news -the blood of Jesus has set us free, period. No more sacrifices and all sacrifices must stop.
So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed. Hebrews 10:18
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. Psalm 51:16
What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle. I get no pleasure from the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. Isiah 1:11
Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book. ’” (Hebrews 10:5 – 10:7 ESV)
God has consistently said he does not want sacrifices, yet stubborn humans persist in offering sacrifice to “God”. By doing this they offer sacrifice to death and disobedience and claim it is God that they are offering the sacrifice to. God does not need anything from man including human blood to bless man because He is the author and giver of life and blood but Satan and death need human blood from man to bless man. Let those who want to hear, hear the truth.
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 1 Corinthians 10:20
So then, about eating the food offered to idols: we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is only the one God. 5 Even if there are so-called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, and even though there are many of these “gods” and “lords,” 6 yet there is for us only one God, the Father, who is the Creator of all things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6
Blood sacrifice is an ancient practice as old as mankind itself but God hates it. God hates sacrifice because to sacrifice is to destroy. Sacrifice is synonymous to death. They prefer sacrifice to obedience. They reject and refuse the gospel and would rather offer sacrifice to demons than embrace the blood of Jesus and the gospel or good news. God is the only law giver and judge and He alone can save and destroy. Satan can not judge so all power belongs to God.
God is the only lawgiver and judge. He alone can save and destroy. James 4:12
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father (Matthew 10:28 – 10:29 ESV)
All man needs is to realize that all power belongs to God and nothing can happen on earth without God’s permission. This realization should lead to worship and obedience towards God and rejection of Satan worship.
Worship of death and Satan is very fraudulent and destructive but majority of mankind glory in it because it is easy and encourages self dependence, man dependence and man worship. In Satan and man worship, death and human priests are worshiped, glorified and exalted. Human priests become father and Lord and they control demons and shed human blood in order to bless their worshippers and the beneficiaries of their fraud and destruction.
People offer sacrifice because they believe they have not been forgiven or cannot be forgiven and suffer from guilty conscience but in Christ, the natural guilty conscience is washed away.
If the people worshiping God had really been purified from their sins, they would not feel guilty of sin any more, and all sacrifices would stop. Hebrews 10:2
So let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. Hebrews 10:22
Beware of any place of worship that offers sacrifice in any form whatsoever, even if the sacrifice looks harmless. Even if that sacrifice is called Jesus Christ, do not be deceived. Christ is King and Lord of all and cannot be sacrificed or offered over and over again. He is on His throne.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1
Christ is the source of life and grace and man can not offer life and grace to God. That is a totally flawed logic and an abomination. Catholics and other sacrificers beware!
Everyone who is not enjoying the blood, Spirit, glory and life of Jesus therefore enjoys and partakes of human blood, life, glory and spirit buried in different alters, regardless of conscious knowledge.
These are hidden sins. They do not need to be aware that they are partaking of blood but the spiritual reality is that they are. God gives all blessings and grace to humans but permits them to get it by their own disobedient ways. They prefer it that way because idol worship is an easy way to blessings, while the way of Christ is a hard narrow way. Anyone who rejects the blood of Jesus is indirectly accepting human blood as an alternative. It is only human blood that takes away sins, that is why Jesus had to come as human to be sacrificed.
The blood of animals – goats and bulls cannot take away sins. It is symbolical of human blood. The animal sacrifices in the Old Testament by the Israelites was symbolical of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and human.
This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper’s heart perfect. Hebrews 9:9
All other sacrifices by non Israelites symbolized human blood that is why God constantly commanded the Israelites to kill their priests. Men use human blood to avert temporal physical punishments due to sin but the eternal punishments and consequences for sins remain. Human blood leads to hell and locks the door of heaven to false worshippers.
Indeed, according to the Law almost everything is purified by blood, and sins are forgiven only if blood is poured out. Hebrews 9:22 Good News Translation
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 9:22 ESV)
It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Hebrews 10:4
It is only God that gives grace and true favor comes by His grace. When God’s grace is poured on you, powerful important people will love you and bless you. You will find favor in their eyes. We must keep in mind that Ezra had a thorough knowledge of the law. He was devoted to the law and pleased God greatly.
Ezra was a scholar with a thorough knowledge of the Law which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given to Moses. Because Ezra had the blessing of the Lord his God, the emperor gave him everything he asked for. Ezra 7:6-7
As we walk in God and follow Him in complete obedience to His ways, plan and will, He will make very important and powerful people find favor in us. Your boss will be pleased with you instead of being constantly irritated with you. By God’s grace, we will win the favor of great Kings and also rule as spiritual kings on earth.
All my life
I crawled.
Where others stood I sat
Where others flew
I was paralysed.
When others danced and rejoiced,
I hid and cried.
Favour was so far
And mercy was but a mirage,
As I stumbled
And groped in the dark,
Panting and longing for mercy.
One day,
I looked at the face of Jesus
And all I saw was mercy and compassion
And hope shot up in me
“Surely, I have hope,”
I said to myself.
Then I cried out for mercy
And Jesus appeared.
He said to me,
“I am full of love and mercy
Today,
Mercy will be your companion
And follow you all the days of your life,
For the King of glory says,
My mercy will never again depart from you
Because you called my name – Mercy!”
May we always recognise
That Jesus is the mercy of God
And always call on
His Holy name.
When you see me cry
What goes through
Your mind?
Do you think I am weak
Pathetic and and unattractive?
When you see me cry
What goes through your mind?
Joy, power, glee
Tell me
What goes through your mind?
I know you love to
See me cry
And I have cried for you and
In front of you
Several times
I cried because I am human
I cried because
That was the only way
I could release my hurt, pain
And frustration
At your brutality and abuse
Today
I no longer care
About what goes through
Your mind when I cry
Today
I am taking back my dignity
And respect
I will no longer cry
To give you
Sadistic joy
I will leave your presence
And your life
And believe me
I will never cry for you again,
Never.
When I was a child
I used to believe
In the goodness
Of humanity
And man.
I thought everyone
Was like me
Loving good
And hating evil
With a passion.
Then, along the way
as I grew up
I noticed that man was perverted – even kids
As they ganged up
And bullied the innocent.
I noticed that some kids
Derived pleasure in
Hurting their peers.
I used to believe
In purity
Until I saw wickedness
All around me
And men exploited each other
For ungodly gains
And pleasure.
They tore each other apart
Feeding on one another
Like voracious animals.
Then one hot afternoon
In July, I stared into the
Blazing sun and I said to myself
Surely,
‘Some men are wild animals in
Human skin?’
Then I decided to transform
Into the greatest beast of all
To destroy all my attackers
And erase the wicked.
Then I heard a soft gentle voice
Speak softly into my soul
‘Don’t do it my child,
You were created good
And pure,
And your good heart
Has been a snare to you.
However, you must remain
Pure and good
Leave judgement and revenge to me
Because,
I am the destroyer
Of the wicked.’
Then I resolved firmly within me
To keep believing in goodness
And purity
And never give up
Because there is
A God in Heaven
Who is the judge
Of all mankind.
He is also a rewarder
Of those who diligently seek Him.
A gentle pat on my left leg
And I wake up
To behold a mighty Angel
In my room.
He smiled,
And I smiled back.
Immediately I smiled back
I found myself at
Heavens gate
As I walk though the city,
I loose every memory of pain,
Heartbreak and disappointment.
The Lord Himself walks
Towards me,
In a golden garment,
Studded with gemstones,
Shining brighter than the sun.
Resplendent, radiant and overwhelming
In power and beauty,
He kisses my right cheek,
And says,
‘I love you.’
And I think to myself,
‘How wonderful the Lord is,
That He expresses love very easily
Without shyness or childishness.
His comfort in love
And words of love
Made Him more attractive
And alluring
As I gaze at Him – My big Daddy,
With beautiful brown, tear filled eyes.
Then I remember my own husband
Who can never say
‘I love you’
But would show me in a million
Ways how much he loves me.
I always wanted to hear
Those precious healing words
But my husband denied me that pleasure
Relief and comfort
Of the mind.
Then I recall that the Holy Spirit
Said to me in the past,
‘A blessed woman is a woman
Who hears I love you everyday.’
He also taught me the importance
Of expressing love
As He constantly says to me,
‘Express your love for me.’
Here I am,
Hand in hand
With my King
Walking on golden streets
Surrounded by His glory
Hearing the one word
I was always denied.
Tears drop down my eyes
As the Lord opens up His
Healing arms
And I rush in
Overwhelmed by a million
Positive emotions and love, joy, peace, consolation and comfort.
I hugged Him never to let go
Muttering ceaselessly into His chest
Intoxicated by His fragrance,
Which smelt like nothing on earth.
‘I love you Lord, I love you Lord,
More than everyone,
And anything
On earth, I will show you my love
By constant obedience and service.
Your will is my will, your pleasure is my pleasure.’
I kept saying this, like a glorious litany rushing
Like golden cascades of love
Out of my quivering lips.
This pleased the Lord greatly.
He holds my face in His hands
Wipes away my tears
Gazing deeply into my adoring tender eyes,
‘I love you my child,
You are a princess,
Don’t ever forget that.’
Then I find myself
Back in my room
Wishing He never let go.
We were many
Dressed in royal garments
Studded with gemstones
Waiting for the bridegroom
We were all longing
To dance with Him
As we all searched
The great ballroom
In Heaven
For the great Master
Then He appeared
And we all fell at His feet
In adoration and worship
My face was facedown
And my mouth kissed the floor
And it seemed like my nose
Was stuck to the floor
Then I saw the golden sandals
Beside me
And realized He was
Standing beside me
I looked up
And He stretched out
His right hand to me
Smiling gently
With love
His blue eyes sparkled
And twinkled
And rays of light
Emanated from them
Enveloping me
I gave Him
My right hand and
He pulled me up
Into His arms
His gaze fixed firmly
On my face
I looked downwards
With great shyness
Because I felt swallowed up
By His mesmerising deep gaze
I hid my face on
His shoulder
And we danced
As we danced
He bent towards my face
And whispered into my ear,
“Those who wait upon me
And seek my face
Will dance with me
Eat with me
And experience my glory.
They will touch me
Taste me
Feel me
Eat me
And see my face,
As I come upon them.
To dance with me means
Intimate fellowship
And baptism of
My Holy Spirit and fire
It means drinking and tasting
My Spirit
And basking in my glory and fire
Tell my children that
I want to dance with them.”
MEMORIES OF RACHEAL
I can remember that day so well
Very long ago
It was summer
And I had fallen asleep
On my garden sofa
In my back garden
The blaring sound
of siren woke me up
And I though to myself,
“Police! Police!”
As I jumped up from my sleep
Startled and dazed
Wondering if something bad
Was happening on my street
Then the sound
Gently receded and retreated
Slowly fading away
And there was sudden calm
The soft evening breeze
Caressed my cheek
And I felt more alive
Than ever
I stretched myself on the sofa
And immediately I put my head on the sofa
I fell into a trance
I looked and all I could see
Was a great sea
Within a hundred yards
From where I was
I saw a crowd of lovely ladies
The crowd was huge, so huge
Over a million
All waking on the sea
And emerging from the sea
With roses, tiara’s and crowns
“We must crown you.” They all echoed
Bowing as they said it.
“No I said, get away from me.”
The female leader of the group
Tall and perfect in beauty
Stepped into my garden and a regal looking man
Of authority accompanied her – he was obviously a prince.
“You are making a great mistake,
We won’t leave you alone
Until you yield.
We want you
Because you are a great asset
Your blood is gold and pure
And a delight to us
Come to us.”
She turned to the prince standing beside her.
“This is Del,
The prince of Nada Kingdom.” The prince was very
Striking and extremely handsome. The robe he had on dazzled with
Gems and unearthly beauty.
I starred at the prince in dismay
Wondering why they were disturbing my evening rest
I shook my head as I carefully examined him.
“Handsome but not my type.”
I muttered under my breath
“What?”
The prince asked, obviously insulted and not pleased
“Oh you heard me? Well, I was talking to myself.”
“You dare to defy me me?”
My laugh was shrill and out of this world.
“Why not? I shrugged as I got up from the sofa, stepped forward
And looked straight into his eyes, not scared or afraid
of his power. I looked into His eyes with scorn.
Shafts of fire were beginning to proceed out of His eyes.
“What a mess, I am not gonna waste my time with you,
“Disappear or fire will swallow you.”
The prince moved closer to me and a golden cloud appeared and encircled me.
Prince Del was breathtaking in beauty
He was powerful
However I despised him
He was nothing compared
The Prince of princes that was around me.
At the sight of the golden cloud,
Prince Del instantly transformed into a beast, screened in terror
and evaporated into the air as thick smelly green mist filled the air.
I opened my eyes and realized I was very hungry. I went into my house and the doorbell
was ringing. There was smoke everywhere and the fire alarm shrilled into my perplexed bones.
