1 | In Matt 25: 6 is it about us being ready | Matt 25:12 | JoyBell_1943 | 157348 | ||
Does the lamp needing oil of the wise and foolish brides represent the readiness and fullness of God's Spirit in us? Matt 25:6 But at midnight there was a shout, Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet him! Matt 25:7 Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps "in order". Matt 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. Matt 25:9 But the wise replied, There will not be enough for us and for you; go instead to the dealers and buy "for yourselves". Matt 25:10 But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. Matt 25:11 Later the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open the door to us! Matt 25:12 But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you I am not acquainted with you. Matt 25:13 Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come. The lamp signifies your vessel; your body and house. The container we leave behind when we hear that mighty shout. Only those who watch, and only those who stay filled and ready and burning bright will Jesus recognize as His own bride. Those who have cleansed themselves,,,hear me, those who have cleansed themselves, washed their own and are standing in white linen which signifies the righteous acts of the saints of God. Wanting some of the wise brides oil signifies dependence on others when God expects you to stand alone burning bright and full of that oil which signifies the Holy Spirit. I woke up this morning at five am saying Holy Holy Holy, Jesus you are king of kings and you are HOLY. HOLY is the Lord. There was another time when God shut the door on the ark and He opened it again. He has stood at the door of your heart for years knocking but HE will not open the door and make you yeild your vessel to Him. One day, Jesus will once more shut the door and say I do not know you to those who took no time to keep their vessel clean, their wicks trimmed, their lamps full of oil and burning bright. In 1990 all I had were oil and gas lamps and no electricity where I lived. I had to trim the wicks, keep them clean, fill them, keep watch over them, and also had to constantly watch them so they would not burn black and smoke. At midnight should we hear that shout, will Jesus find us with our house in order and ready to go as that pure and spotless bride? Will we be watching? Will we be ready or having our eyes on other people. It grieves God how you exalt people and behave as though you are of less value then some "ministry" you have decided is the bright burning lamp of promise. God is today knocking at your door and saying,go out, fill your lamp, concentrate on YOUR vessel and no one elses for He is coming soon and we need to do one thing and that is to get our own house in order. |

2 | What happened to reverential fear? | Rom 1:19 | JoyBell_1943 | 157331 | ||
Today in msn groups there have been many controversies among Christians as to we serve a good God who does not have anything to do with floods that kill people, hurricanes, or earthquakes or big waves that kill thousands. Some have gotten very heated and so I began to study "WHAT" has happened in our world to reverential fear of God and HIS holiness, His words HE spoke as some casually call him the big daddy or big guy in the sky or call him father when they do not know him as father? There is a lack of reverence in sanctuaries and very little trembling in God's presence, so as a result, people think God has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening in our world today. Were we not warned that perilous times would come? Have we not read HOW God spoke? His word says, God has HIS way in the whirlwind and the storm and the clouds are the dust of HIS feet, waves rise at HIS command, He is God people and nothing on this earth happens without HIS knowledge. Why is there such fighting among religious people about the "goodness" or badness of blaming God for calamities of nature? Why do people insist on saying "that is not God?" I have been sharing God's words and saying to folks that God needs to hear us cry out and say,,,Lord God if there be one...just one who is righteous, save them, instead of walking without knowledge of the Holiness and reverential fear of God regarding HIS being God and we are to intercede and maybe He will show mercy but to realize that we are in the last days where there are troubles on all sides and we need to really be aware of Gods HOLINESS. | ||||||
