"Teaching" the Kingdom of God

Language.

That word; that one word.

The Spirit of God manifest within the heavenly language of speaking in tongues, the tongue of various nations; tribes and cultures... sign language. In every sense of the word.

Our world is not just this here America that we live in.

Our world and mission as children of GOD, is this world here and outside of the U.S. Think Africa, Japan, China, France, Germany.

Think.
How many people no not of Christ?

I'm not saying to go travel the world and preach the Kingdom of God (bless you if you can, but most of us cannot, nor is it our ministry in Christ to physically GO [see Matthew 28:19, Luke 4:43]). You don't even have to leave your home (Twitter, blogging), unless the Holy Spirit tells you that you must. Always listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit; LORD Jesus help us to do this.

Imagine the Gospel of Christ being ministered in different languages. How amazing is that; the thought? How amazing is that thought?! So amazing.

Selah.

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Would You Believe???

Would you believe that you could go to Hell for not following the second commandment, which says "THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF?"

Well, this is exactly what the LORD revealed to me as I spent close time in study with Him six days ago.

The Second Commandment

I recorded it in my offline journal then, but have finally found some peaceful time to just sit and record it here as well.

I will give an overview of what I learned, as I have already recorded our study session in my personal hand-written journal. My prayer is that the LORD speaks to you through this post, and that you receive it in Jesus' name. And, if you will not receive it; I have done my part:

Matthew 10:14-15 says,

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Thank You, Jesus.

Before I began reading my Bible on October 15, 2009 I asked the LORD to lead me in scripture, where ever it was that He desired for me to go. I had no intentions of blogging about it... it was my intimate time with God, where I journal and keep record of our time together (3 full journals since I got saved in 2006, 1 half-full one, and one I just began). Not everything I have been obedient in blogging about; then again, Not everything is meant to be shared. And, if it is, God will give us the time upon which to share it.

Now,

The Second Commandment

There was a scriptural example on the first page of my Bible that I read from the Book of Mark.

Mark 12:29-31 says (bolded emphasis added),

²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, HEAR, O ISRAEL; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD:

³⁰AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: this is the first commandment.

³¹And the second is like, namely this, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE.

..."THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE."

It was as if those words came to life for me at that very moment. I don't hate people, yet sometimes it is difficult for me to love them where they are. At times I just wish life would speed itself up and everyone could be saved, sanctified and totally committed to Christ; on-fire for Christ, baptized with the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues-- the whole nine!

Can I admit that dealing with those who are not mature in Christ (which has nothing to do with speaking in tongues. I am talking spiritual maturity), irritates me at times? Not to the point where I lash out. But I do make faces, shake my head and eventually brush it off as "OK, that's how the world behaves." That's their excuse. They have an EXCUSE! That's my typical rationalization of the situation.

I think now, and I'm like "Yeah, OK LORD, I was there at one point." But, really what I'm constantly thinking is, "LORD, help them" and maan, was I dumb (in my past). I see it in others who are not mature in Christ. I observe their behaviour and think, "GEE, I'm so glad I'm not where they are, (where I used to be!)" It's like a genuine internal-"Thank-You,-JESUS!"

After reading the text on the page: THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE, in RED..., CAPITAL letters,

1. I journaled: "I even told myself aloud today on the drive home from work: 'My flesh can't do it, my flesh doesn't want to!'"
2. I paused.
   
3. I looked up.
   
4. I uttered aloud: "LORD, we're going to work on this?" Then I said, "Yes, we're going to work on this. I'm going to work on this!"

I then glanced down and saw Jesus' words in RED, on the page staring at me, which read "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God," Mark 12:34.

Before continuing on reading in scripture, I meditated on what I believe in my HEART that the LORD was speaking to me (Mark 12:34). God was telling me, paraphrased "You're almost there. You are not far from the Kingdom of God..." (Heaven!) Just a few more steps, beloved!!

I began crying. A light and humble cry. It was a joyful cry! A REJOICING cry!:

Mark 12:34 (emphasis added), says,

³⁴And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

After God revealed Mark 12:34 to me personally, the end result of this testimony is that God will help me with this inevitable thing that we must do as children and servants of God with the help of the Holy Spirit: "THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE."

I can't do it. This flesh can't do it; it doesn't want to! I don't know about your flesh, but mine doesn't want to! I'm happy with me and God only... everyone else can just be. It's only through HIM that I will be able to genuinely love and care about other people.

It was like a warning.
A warning to me.
A warning to share with you.

"I had no idea," I journaled.
"LORD GOD, I know You forgive me! Help me to know this. Help me to KNOW that people can go to HELL for this!"

We then went to Matthew 7:21-23 (emphasis added), which says,

²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

Iniquity.

"Iniquity" in the last verse translates to lawlessness... Lawlessness-- did you catch that? Lawlessness means, having none or adhering to no law. Without law. Not obeying the commandments that were given to us by God Himself.

In the above verses, Jesus Christ is addressing the saints of God, those who are in Christ. We know this from verse 22 because the people who were crying out to God were the ones who professed Him as their Saviour: they prophesied and cast out demons.


...God told THESE people,

the people who were supposedly "in Christ,"

to DEPART from Him!


He told them to leave... they were sent to Hell!

Their gifts will be as filthy RAGS unto Him! (Holy Spirit gave me that one, just now 10/23/2009 @ 1:43 a.m.):

Isaiah 64:6 says (emphasis added),

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

You see that? Iniquities. Again.

...This is for me.
...This is for you.

The Holy Spirit led me to a very familiar verse, which I don't quote hardly ever (Hallelujah to Jesus),

Philippians 4:13 says,
¹³I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

A WARNING FOR YOUR SOUL...

AND THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. There is none other commandment greater than these.

MARK 12:30-31...


In Jesus' name,
Whitney

Tweets

Alright saints, please excuse this post (or not?), but I must have somewhere to log my favorited tweets from Twitter. And, this is a blog so it only seems proper. "Blog" ..."log." Get that? I think that's it's purpose, si?

Tweeting is fun, but if you don't learn anything or don't have anything to look back on later, or to reference;... not to say that your work is in vain...? Twitter is a type of ministry for me, and so is this blog-- each of which glorify our Father! Thank You, Lord!

Will be updating this frequently. To view in a different window and toggle between the two, hold down the "Ctrl" button, and click the image.

Love you guys.

In Christ,
All honor and glory to Jesus,

Corrupt?

This is a screenshot of the google.com homepage today, at 1:54 p.m.

(be sure to click the picture to see it enlarged).


It's a barcode. The first thing that came to my mind was "yep, mark of the beast." hehe, call me a cynic... then I'll rebuke it.

Hehe.

google.com, corrupt or not-- I've never seen just a picture as their logo.

Weird, much?

Revelation 13 (emphasis added throughout)

¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

²And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

³And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

⁴And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

⁵And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

⁷And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

⁸And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

⁹If any man have an ear, let him hear.

¹⁰He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹¹And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

¹²And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

¹³And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

¹⁴And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

¹⁵And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁶And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

p.s. I posted this on twitpic.com too for Twitter users: http://twitpic.com/km60r.

LEAVE... In the Name of JESUS.

Yesterday evening I was suffering with what felt like a migraine! I had been on the computer for a while, trying to figure out all of this web design stuff for my new website (...website, not a blog), and maaan was my head throbbing.

I don't get headaches. Like, really. I don't get them, so I was perplexed and was deeply concerned about where this one came from.

So, I got offline and eventually went to my room to get some rest. The throbbing continued. At first I "hoped," y'all know how we hope for something, but don't really PRAY about it or CONFESS it/CALL it OUT with our mouths, in Jesus' name? lol, Lord GOD help us.

...Yea, that's what I was doing: hoping the headache away, hehe.

As I lie with my head on the pillow, I spoke "LEAVE, in the NAME of JESUS and return to where you came from." ...Said it very calm, with authority (confidence, faith)-- no doubting or wavering. I said it in FAITH that it would LEAVE. Therefore, it left. (see Ephesians 6:16).

That very moment.
It LEFT.
AND IT DIDN'T COME BACK.

I then said "Thank You, Jesus" and went to sleep. Good sleep, lol! Woke up at 8:30 a.m.!

Luke 10:19 tells us,
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (emphasis added)

As disciples of Christ Jesus, we must take His Word for what it says, implementing every thing through our God-given ability. He said that we will have dominion over all the earth. All things were created for Him, and we have power in the Name of Jesus, through Him as children of God!

Call these DEMONS out, call them OUT in Jesus' name! (Call OUT their names and call them OUT of YOU!) Don't be fearful.

Ephesians 6 10-24 says, (emphasis added throughout)

¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹¹Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹²For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

¹³Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

¹⁵And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

¹⁹And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

²⁰For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²¹But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

²²Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

²³Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁴Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

Don't you know beloved, that in Jesus' name, ALL things are possible? There are some things that happen in the this flesh that were not ordained by GOD-- we must rebuke them and know that God will handle it. But, it will not happen unless you open your mouth (Proverbs 18:21):

Speak it forth.
Declare it.
Be unmovable (see I Corinthians 15:58).

We fight against the things going on in the spirit-world. This dimension of life exists and boy, is it ever-so-real. Don't let the enemy have dominion over you. He doesn't want you to exercise your spiritual gifts.

Whatever it is, headaches, migraines, psychosis, sickness/illness, dying persons (spiritually and physically), breast cancer-- whatever it is, rebuke it in Jesus' name if you know in your heart of hearts that you have that mighty power in Jesus' name.

Luke 4:39
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

Sweet Melody

Modestly singing, praising and being the midst of a holy God's presence, I was just listening to this song on Blip.fm. My eyes became glossy with tears.

I remember this song from throughout summertime 2009. First time I heard it. So light, humble and modest. I thank God for humble saints. My prayer lately has been to have a more contrite spirit and to loose the pride that I tend to cling onto... it's a very light sense of pride, but heavy enough to weigh me down-- it must to go. If it's not like You LORD, take it away in JESUS' name.

"Holy, Holy is the LORD Almighty," That melody gets me every time. Such a soft and sweet noise. I feel the anointing in my spirit when it sounds. The aroma of holiness is so sweet. I love You, Jesus... with my whole heart. I want Your ways, always. Within me. Throughout me. Manifested in me. Deep within me, pouring forth good fruit.


Exodus 15:11 says

"Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"

Since September 28, 2009, God has assured, encouraged and equipped me with:

II Peter 3:13-14, which says

¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. ¹⁴Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

This scripture places songs of HALLELUJAH/SHEKINAH GLORY praise in my heart and in my spirit! God is saying that BECAUSE we look for, aspire to, have faith in and anticipate a glorious life with Him at His second coming... BECAUSE we look for these things, we need to be diligent, prayerful, vigilant, that at on that faithful Day of Judgment, that we are found blameless, clothed in holiness, righteousness and rightness before our Savior.

II Peter 3:13: An assurance.

II Peter 3:14: God is saying that we need to make an effort here and now, while we are still on this earth, to seek peace, pursue peace-- living peaceably with all men (see Romans 12:18)-- not being prideful, puffed up or full of self-righteousness. It's like a command; a reminder of what we need to do and how we must behave as saints of GOD.

...I do thank You LORD, for the things You have revealed unto me through Your Holy Word. I ask GOD, in Jesus' name, that you search my heart O God and renew a RIGHT spirit within me. Remove everything within me that is not like You. Take it away, and implant Your precious spirit forevermore overflowing with peace, righteousness, holiness and humility. I will seek Your face.

This is my prayer.
