AMOS, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

7/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
 I keep seeing
in my mind
a Highway to Heaven
bridging the Great Divide.

Snapped from his chalk line
a canyon was made;
splitting the sands
of Life from the Grave.

"Amos, what do you see?"
A plumb line set
by God Almighty.

He is ready
to end crookedness,
by setting the cornerstone
of precious Jesus 

His justice
is the measuring line,
it's perfectly administered 
by His divine;
and the plumb line,
so perfectly hung-
a vertical representation 
of purity
and righteousness.
(Isaiah 28:17)
 
From every nation,
and every race -
a banner will raise;
from every tribe,
and every tongue -
the songs of the Faithful
will be sung.
(Revelation 7:9)

This is what is set to happen
and soon as He says,
“It is time to put an end
to this horrible baptism.”
(Luke 12:49-50)

The Lion of Judah
is ready to go,
as soon as the Father 
gives his say so.

Can you hear his ferocious roar?
Can you feel the heat in the belly of the core?
Do you feel magnetic movement?
Can you sense radiation - caused by humans? 
Can you feel the tremors of the shifting sands?
Do you see division spreading through the land? 

What?
Wait a minute?
Did you just say...
Jesus is dividing the people
while he allows this display?

How can this be?
Jesus is my Redeemer,
the one who has set me free!
How can you say
he causes a division of humanity?
I do not need to listen to this blasphemy!
This can not be!
It does not line up to my prosperity theology!
Jesus came to love, and to forgive,
unity is the gift that he gives.  
He did not come to bring division!
He came to bring peace into the land. 
Stop talking to me about dying to self!
He is my Living Water and he fills "my" well!
Suffering
is for those who have no faith.
Suffering
is not a part of his goodness or grace!
You are leaving me with such distaste! 
It is you who brings him disgrace,
why do you lack so much faith?
I stand on his name,
and he gives me abundant fame.
He provides immeasurably more,
than I could ever ask for.
He knows just what I need.
He would never allow me to fall,
or to bleed.
I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me. 
I stand on his rock,
 and I have the victory!
Jesus, he is my King - 
and I am his Queen.
Look at me,
there is nothing bad inside of me!
When I speak to the demons
they must flee.
I have been given all authority,
and I create my own destiny!
Don't you know, 
Jesus resides in all of us,
at least the ones who are morally good!
So stop talking to me about suffering!
There is no dis-ease that can touch me.
The truth is God loves all of us,
and he understands 
we are victims to our lust.
He gives us permission to live in our sin,
as long as we show grace to our fellow man.
For God sake, he knows we are only human. 
Health and wealth -
it is the promise he made to me 
when he died for my sin
and gave me the victory!
If I fast and pray,
I will get good results!
Yes, here on this earth,
I am guaranteed prosperity and wealth.
If you are struggling with burden and disease,
then you must not have enough faith in him.
Just pray harder, he will answer your prayers.
He wants to rid you of all your cares.
Everything goes - it's all okay.
Old Testament expectations 
are not meant for today.
Live as you please,
we get to be our own kings;
his grace is sufficient
to supply all your needs.
Boundaries?
HA!
that's an illusion of sin!
He does not set apart anyone for him.
This is the 21st century,
and we are defined
by our independent beliefs.
You can think whatever you want,
and flesh desires are johnny on the spot! 
There is no dividing line,
because righteousness 
can not be defined.
"In God we Trust" -
that's just a saying, 
a thing from the past!
God gave us free minds
so that we could define
the thoughts that would rule
for this culture, and this time. 
He even gives us the secret to get rich -
it's by understanding
 the Law of Attraction.
When you focus on your blessings,
God becomes extremely pleased!
He will let you create your own reality!
Just pay attention to what you desire,
and be intentional and totally inspired!
Your dreams will come true,
if you focus in on them.
Take it slow,
and you will succeed.
Positive affirmations -
that is all that you need,
you can determine your destiny!
Do you not see? 
God gave you the ability
to create your own thought trees.
And when you see,
a toxic weed,
pluck it out!
You have the authority! 
Use all your might!
You can uproot that tree,
that gets in the way
of creating your identity!
You are the author,
do you not see?
You get to determine
your earthly destiny!

These are the words
that tickle the ears,
of carnal Christians
who are not YET spiritually mature.
They have not attuned their ears to hear,
because many are led by false teachers.  
Spiritual blessing, mixed with materialism,
leads people coming to God 
for what he can do for them.
Some will say, you can not get sick 
if you believe Jesus died for your sin.
Illness and poverty, is not meant for you;
It is true!  He has made you brand new. 
Give me your money and God will bless you;
Now it is time for you, to bless me.
Believe in me,
God will compensate by blessing your needs.
You do not have to wait for Heaven,
you can have it all now -
just call out the command. 
If your faith is strong,
you will not long
Keep on praying,
your blessing is on it's way!

Father God,
help us to see -
give us spiritual eyes,
so that we are no longer deceived!
We under the illusion
of Prosperity Theology.
Discernment -
it is not a gift
that I take lightly.
It gives me the ability
 to untangle the truth from deceit.
I lack in so many things!
It is only through your Spirit
that I can face this demon.
Help me to walk through these weeds,
they grow up so quickly,
and constantly trip me. 
Help me to love, 
through this swamp of deceit.
So many are students
of this philosophy.
It's embedded in American education,
and theology,
it's the perspective that stems from
the American dream.
We must scrub this mark of the beast,
before it permanently effects our humanity.

Let your words flow from my mouth,
as an antiseptic that brings spiritual health. 

This is what the Lord says
to those that he loves,
“Are you ready to listen, and digest the truth?”
“Are you ready to receive my Spirit, to experience new birth?”
“Do you want to know who I am?”
“Do you want to walk on the Highway to Heaven?”
“Are you willing to suffer for me,
patiently enduring the temporary dis-ease?”
“Will you put your faith on the line?”
“Will you trust me through the great divide?”
"Are you ready to bring glory to me, 
by overcoming the accuser through your testimony?”
“Are you ready stand firm against our enemy?”
“Do you speak my name, in public, for all to hear?"
“Do you open your heart so that I can make you pure?"
"What if MY truth is not what YOU thought?”
“Will you put down your ways, and think as you ought?”

This is what I ask of you, 
"Follow me in Spirit and in Truth."
Seek my face,
and believe who I am.
Stop listening to preachers 
who make false accusations.
Come, walk with Me,
seek my wisdom and my truth.
Listen to my words,
they come straight from my mouth,
 “I have come to bring fire on the earth,
and how I wish it were already burning.
But I have a baptism to undergo,
and what constraint I am under until it is done.
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth?
No, I tell you, but division.
From now on there will be five in one family
divided against each other,
three against two and two against three.
They will be divided, father against son
and son against father,
mother against daughter and daughter against mother,
mother-in-law against daughter-in-law
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
(Luke 12:49-53)

I have snapped the chalk line,
and it will divide.
The faithful are prepared
to give me their heart,
and their mind.
To a mere human -
it is hard to understand.
This is why Holy Spirit 
must guide your decisions.
I know...
it does not make sense, 
and it will difficult to wash away
all the false pretense.
Your version of love
is founded on humanism.
You believe that man is inherently good.
You think man is the center of the earth,
believing that righteousness 
stems from your own worth.
Whether through religion,
or secular humanism -
in your limited intellectualism,
you believe that morality
is the key to my Kingdom.
  But this is not true,
and if you read my Word
you would know.
There is only one key
that opens my door!
He is the Lamb -
the pure sacrifice.
The only way into Heaven
is through my son,
Jesus Christ.
I know...
it it must be hard to believe
that when I look at you,
all I see is dirty clothing.
Your hearts are evil,
through and through. 
There is absolutely nothing,
good inside of you.
Yes,
I made you in my image,
but then you rebelled,
you committed adultery
by idolizing yourself.
PRIDE!
This is what caused our divide.
How can we be together,
when impurity fills your head?
Your heart and your mind,
became filled with disease,
the moment you chose to disobey me.
But -
I love you!
More than you know!
This is why I sent my son,
to endure the suffering,
and be completely exposed.
Through humility, he died for you.
He took on your sin, and all iniquities.
With each stripe, he bore on his back
he shed his blood, and finished it with his breath.
Jesus!
That's right!
Say his name!
Speak it out load, so everyone can hear!
My Son came, to set you free.
It is only through his purity
that you can receive
a righteous covering.
Because I love you,
I gave you a way to be saved.
This is why I give you time,
to testify to his name.
My grace extends,
over and over again,
each and every day.  
I patiently wait for your hearts to change.
But the time is near,
when everyone will hear,
and yet, some will run away in fear.
They will not believe
because they have hearts of stone,
just like Pharoah, until I took his first-born.
And even then, it was just for a moment 
his heart of flesh
quickly turned back into a heart of stone.
There are many, who are just like him.
They refuse to accept, and refuse to listen.
But do not worry about them,
share my news with everyone.
Each is accountable for their own choice.
The ones who are willing, will listen to my voice.

“The Way of Holiness;
it has been made.
The unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those
who walk on the way;
even if they are fools,
they shall not go astray.”
(Isaiah 35:8)

Remind my people of this -
You must remember who I am!
You must seek my face,
and worship me in this place.
I gave you a Book
that must NOT be overlooked.
Pick it up, and come to know it!
Some will say, "It was made by men," 
they will stay in darkness until they decide to change. 
But those who know who I am
have been given the wisdom to understand.
My Word is inspired, it always has been.
My Spirit is alive.  He is not dead. 
People pull out the verses, that line up with their beliefs,
they change the gospel, then stand on it.
Their pride is heavy, and their arrogance is great!
Their lack of faith is what puts human lives at stake. 
They think they have wisdom, to rule like a king,
they twist the truth through rationalism.
But do not worry.
My messengers are awake,
they will deliver my message
to ALL who will partake.
The harvest is ripe
and it’s ready to be picked,
what will you do when you see
my measuring stick?
Will you be quick to accept and digest,
or will you stop to question, and second-guess?
Who is ready to shake off complacency?
Who is ready to trust and believe?
I am speaking. 
​Will you listen to me?
