THE FINAL SEASON OF BLESSING
I send greetings to you in the name of Jesus:
This week I have received information concerning the status of my heart and it doesn't look like it is doing very well because I am starting to go into defib now on the left side and the bottom of my heart. My plan is to continue to supply these teachings as long as I can, but I know that there is a season for everything and a time for every purpose.
I continue to teach the words of Jesus only because he is the only one who has the complete knowledge of the kingdom and the keys to heaven. Jesus said in Matthew 13:11-13 "the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have even what he has will be taken from him. This is why speak to them in parables though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not understand."
For some time now we have been discussing things that many who are in the leadership of the church in general will not discuss because of doctrines or creeds that stand in the way. What I have sought to do and will continue to do is to open our eyes to the true message of the good news of Jesus Christ. In verse 16 Jesus continued "blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but they did not hear it. Listen then to one the parable of the sower means; when anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and it once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding 100, 60 or 30 times what was sown."
My dear ones these are the circumstances that we battled today in our churches, and these are the situations that we must combat through the power of God's Holy Spirit every day. You have heard me say this many times but once again I want to say how easy it is to agree with Christ with no intention of obeying him. It is easy to denounce worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth and still do nothing to change her ways. We find these types of people sitting all around us within our churches on any given Sunday morning, and it is who we who are given the ministry to till, the soil, feed, water, and grow new Christians who have received this good news from Jesus Christ. I have tried to be a voice of encouragement for you in a time when steadfast voices are not often heard. It is my life and dreams in Christ that when my season has ended that there will remain workers who have been encouraged through the words and the voice in Christ I have shared. Continue to pray for me as I will continue to pray for you. May you richly bless God through your life in him.
