Man or woman-
if your ears are perked to the Spirit of God, and you hear this message for what it is - do not scoff it off because it is delivered by a woman of God. I pray the Lord will use this poem to touch anyone that He wants! It is time for the church to grow into maturity and keep Jesus as the main thing. There is something to say about God’s perfect timing. It’s totally grand and mesmerizing - and it’s all about keeping Jesus as the main thing! God sets the stage and creates the conditions to unfold ALL of His plans on earth and in Heaven. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul explained the great mystery of God. He said, “God’s intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Ephesians 3:10-12 You see - God is sovereign. Paul understood that God created both the earth and the heavens. Paul did not operate under deception by believing that God only cared about humans. He has many sons in physical and the spiritual realms. God has many sons - some are angels and some are humans (men and women) Some rebel and go against Him, and some bow down and desire to obey him. It’s totally a heart condition. But there Is only One Son who fully reflects Him - and that is Jesus. Jesus is God’s beloved Son - the impregnation of God's conception placed into a virgin woman by God’s Holy Spirit. The only Son - fully God and fully human. The only Son - fully Lamb and fully Lion. And through this Son - who is God’s fullest expression - the Word of God expresses God's character - God's love and compassion and his wrath and his anger. You see - God is sovereign. Some things are accepted and some are rejected, but all things are possible through Him - because He holds ALL wisdom. And we must have faith to believe that God has perfect timing, and a perfect plan - even if we can't comprehend. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters (men and women) And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” Romans 8:28-30 God carried out his plan through Abram and Sarai. He predestined Abram and Sarai to be man and wife, then He moved them out of Chaldea, and brought them into Syria. Then God called to Abram and told him to go to the promised land, the land of Canaan - where they would give birth to a son promised to them. And that is where they were justified and given a new name: Abraham and Sarah. Why Canaan? Could this have been the land of where the giants lived? The place where the rebellious sons of God inhabited - the Valley of the Rephaim? All things have a reason - even when we can’t explain it. And this is where Abraham landed - when he then met the Angel of the Lord and Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High. Listen in - “Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised.” “Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.” God always keeps His Word when He gives it. “Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him.” Do you remember what God told Abram when He renamed him Abraham? In Genesis 17:18-21, God said, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.” And then, one year later, when Abraham was 100 years old, Sarah bore a son - the expression of God’s promise, and named him Isaac. Isaac means laughter. Even when we are shocked - God always fulfills His promise. Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” Genesis 21:6-7 “When Isaac was 8 days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him.” Genesis 21:4 One year prior, God said to Abraham “You must keep My covenant - you and your descendants in the generations after you. This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised. You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner even those who are not your offspring. Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant. But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.” Genesis 17:9-14 “The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast.” Genesis 21:8 Sisters and brothers in Christ - this is the message to the church - the sacrificial body of Christ. It’s time to grow up! God is patiently waiting for our maturity. He is waiting for us to forsake man-made traditions and doctrines of the wind. He is waiting for us to keep Jesus as the main thing. When will we move on from what we already know about the essential doctrines of grace and not go backwards into man made rules and regulations such as those contained in the Mosaic Laws? When will we stop arguing amongst ourselves about who is good and who is not? None of us are just! Not one of us is right. When will we stop debating over who can teach and who can not? When will we stop squabbling over who can preach and who can not? When will we stop making excuses about why we can not share the Word of God with anyone that we want? Do you think in Heaven the angels stop for one minute debating over who can worship God and who can not? My God - how far from the truth of God have we come? Why do people operate in such foolishness? I believe God is eager for us to identify apostate teachings when we encounter them. For there are many wolves among sheep trying to distract us. “For though by this time we ought to be teachers, we need someone to teach us again - the basic principles of the oracles of God. We need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." Hebrews 5:12-14 “Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:14-16 Jesus said, “This is how we should pray: “Our Father in heaven (The father of all creation currently abides on His throne in the heavenly realm), hallowed be your name (God is omnipresent, omnipotent and purely set apart as Ultimate Holiness), your kingdom come (Bring Heaven down into the earth realm - not the other way around), your will be done (God’s will not ours - we must suppress the flesh through our love for Him) on earth as it is in heaven (while we walk through this valley of the shadow of death). Give us today our daily bread (Jesus is the bread of life) And forgive us our debts (Through the blood of Christ) as we also have forgiven our debtors (Because He first loved us) And lead us not into temptation (Desires of our flesh) but deliver us from the evil one (Because that is how Satan tempts us). Matthew 6:9-13 “The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast.” The seed of the women that God promised to us shall crush the head of the serpent. Genesis 3:15 Through grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone - the body of Christ will grow into maturity that reflects the will of God. And someday, when we are fully weaned, our Father in Heaven will throw a great feast! Man or woman- if your ears are perked to the Spirit of God, and you hear this message for what it is - do not scoff it off because it is delivered by a woman of God. I pray the Lord will use this poem to touch anyone that He wants! “Blessed is EVERYONE who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!” Luke 14:15
