As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Mark 10:27; And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.) “Are You Responsible Enough, To Carry The Presence Lord?” Joshua 3:4; Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.) “Are You Responsible Enough, To Carry The Presence Of The Lord?” Joshua 3:7; And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. v8; And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. (This carrying should be in the middle of everything you care about. Hebrews 11:6; But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 1 Peter 5:7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.) “Are You Responsible Enough, To Carry The Presence Of The Lord?” Joshua 3:9; And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. v10; And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

“The State Of The Church Today, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?” John 3:7; Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Even though these names were give them. Daniel 1:7; Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. This didn’t make any difference, cause they had another take of themselves. Genesis 50:19; And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? Daniel 1:8; But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Another take of themselves: 1 John 2:27; But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. “The State Of The Church Today, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?” John 3:8; The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. See it’s become a will of yours. Romans 8:28; And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Will of yours: Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. “The State Of The Church Today, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?” John 3:9; Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? v11; Verily, verily, I say unto you thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. The problem here, is that we want the Lord, but not the be. Let me bring to your attention, there is no but’s in this. Jonah 1:3; But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. This kind of but, can’t be. Galatians 5:7; Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? Jonah 3:1; And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, v2; Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. Jonah 4:1; But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. v2; And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Jonah was saying, I knew you would get over it Lord. Yes, God is gracious and merciful. Jonah 4:5; So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. Yes, he’s gracious and merciful, but you still have to obey him. v6; And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. v7; But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. But you still have to be obedient. 1 Samuel 15:22; And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. “The State Of The Church Today, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?” 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “The State Of The Church Today, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE?” Teaching!

“DON’T, GIVE UP!” John 8:23; And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. “DON’T, GIVE UP!”  1 Corinthians 15:47; The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. Explained: Genesis 4:2; And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. Keeper of sheep, Abel kept himself in a humble way. John 10:14; I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Tiller of the ground, Cain was full of pride. 1 John 2:16; For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. “DON’T, GIVE UP!”  (In the process of time.) Psalm 105:19; Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him. Genesis 4:3; And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. Ground offering, you giving the up, up: Romans 8:8; So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. His giving was not according to the word. Genesis 4:4; And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: Fat thereof, he gave according to the growth of the word in him. John 8:31; Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. Genesis 4:5; But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. Prime example of when you gave up, what it looks like. James 4:1; From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? v3; Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 1 Corinthians 15:48; As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. “DON’T, GIVE UP!” Genesis 4:6; And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? v7; If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. Keep up: 1 Corinthians 6:12; All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. “DON’T, GIVE UP!” 1 Corinthians 15:49; And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. “DON’T, GIVE UP!” v58; Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. “DON’T, GIVE UP!” Teaching!

Shock Treatment; Galatians 6:15; For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. “SHOCK TREATMENT, A Deterrent To The Flesh!” Genesis 19:16; And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. v17; And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. v18; And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord. Shock Treatment: Hebrews 12:25-27; v25; See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. v27; And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. “SHOCK TREATMENT, A Deterrent To The Flesh!” Luke 8:43; And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, v44; Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. v46; And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. v48; And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Shock Treatment: Hebrews 10:38; Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “SHOCK TREATMENT, A Deterrent To The Flesh!” Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. v4; And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. Shock Treatment: Galatians 5:17; For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Acts 28:5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. v6; Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. Shock Treatment: Hebrews 4:12; For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. “SHOCK TREATMENT, A Deterrent To The Flesh!” Teaching!

“WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” Acts 26:19; Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: A High Alert, the vision; Deuteronomy 30:20; That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. High Alert, it brings a separation of how you see things. 2 Corinthians 7:11; For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. “WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” Acts 26:20; But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. High Alert, where one’s life shows consumption is not allowed. And being relieved is what you see. Proverbs 16:6; By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. “WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” Acts 26:21; For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. v22; Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: v23; That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. High Alert, makes you elite in today’s church. You are of a small number that witness to small and great occasions in your life. 2 Corinthians 4:10; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. Explained; Galatians 5:13; For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. “WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” Acts 26:24; And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. High Alert, shows the usual. Though church folks quote it regularly, but when it’s exhibited can’t receive it. I’m talking about High Alert an away from. 1 Peter 2:9; But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Acts 26:25; But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. “WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” Acts 26:26; For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. High Alert is not subject to limits, where with the church today, basically only where it’s shown. But, instead, out in the open, a public appearance. Philippians 1:21; For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. “WHAT HAS HAPPENED, TO SERVING THE LORD, ON HIGH ALERT?” It’s a being, to us, that’s a process. Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 5:12; For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. John 3:20; For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Hebrews 5:13; For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. John 3:21; But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

V8; But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
