THE FURY OF THE LORD IS COMING: THE NEW BABYLONIANS!!

Praise the Lord everybody!! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!! I pray you all are enjoying God's blessing. I am preparing myself for His next move in my life. He is cleansing me and has given me a message that is a "hard saying" that is timely but will not be popular amongst those who have been "half stepping" and luke warm in the faith.

The body of Christ in America has been slack in doing it's job in this land and has not allowed itself to be transformed by God's word but has been slowly conforming to this world which is the opposite of what God has asked of us in His word.(Romans 12:1,2)
We have not gone out into the world making Disciples but instead have focused on making "converts" who are weak and malnourished and can not stand against the wiles of the enemy in these last and evil days. They are also poor defenders of the faith, unable to give explanation or reason to those who question them concerning their faith, Because of this the fury of the Lord is coming our way.

The message Given to me starts in JEREMIAH 6:6-13     6 For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.

13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

In these scriptures God is using Babylon as a rod of correction against His people because of their disobedience. Today's Babylon has names like, Isis, Al-Qaida and Hamas, and they are bringing the fight to our doorsteps just as Babylon did to Jerusalem and God is allowing it to happen. God speaks against Jerusalem in verses 6 and 7 calling it a "fountain" that spreads it's wickedness as waters, corrupting all who drink from it.

That is how God sees America today, a polluted fountain spreading it's ever loosening morals all over the world, and His Church has gone from being a guiding light for the nation to being a co conspirator in it's apostasy. This message is not from me, but is given to me from God by His holy spirit. I know most will dismiss this message but I beg you to take heed because our "Babylon" is coming. I will leave you to contemplate these things and I will continue the message in my next post.

THE GOD FEARING MAN

Praise the Lord everybody!! He alone is worthy to be praised!! I pray everyone is enjoying a blessed start to their new year. My wife and I are expecting great things in our walk with God this year. We plan on focusing in on Him and let the rest be added on to us.

The other day I was thinking about a phrase I haven't heard in a long long time here in America. There was a time when a person was describing someone that he respected as an upstanding citizen He would be referred to as a "God-fearing" man, code for "this is a man you can trust."
 You heard that term a lot in this country back when It was considered to be a "God-fearing, Christian" country. The word of God states in Psalm 111:10  10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

The fact that there were men considered to be "God-fearing" all  over this country at one time and the fact that the fear of God is only the "beginning of wisdom" according to Gods word speaks volumes as to the state of America then and now. There was a time when we knew as a country that it was God that was the hope of this nation and that in all things we were to look to Him for wisdom on how to deal with the situation. Now we reverence man more than God, How another man feels is more important than how God feels. We go out of our way to not offend each other and rail on about "political correctness" but we offend God every day with our behavior.

The fear of God is an important attribute for a man of God to have, it brings with it Gods favor, Job 1:6-8 states   6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

God is looking for men who will fear Him enough that they will reject all evil and avoid the practice of it, men that He can wave in Satan's face when the accuser of the brethren comes around. Such were many of the men who shaped and established this Country, they prospered and the country prospered because they feared the Lord, this is the beginning of wisdom, the first building block, the cornerstone of obtaining and building wisdom.

Where are the God-fearing men of this world? That is a question we all have to ask ourselves when we look in our mirrors every morning because that's where it starts, it starts with us.

FAITH HAS A FAMILY!: WHO KNEW?!!

Praise the Lord everybody!! and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!! Like I said in my last post I am looking forward to the coming year, I want more Jesus, 24/7.

I want to share something different with you all to start the year off.
This is a short story about a fictional young boy who is the lead character in a children's book I'm working on, I hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave comments here or on my new face book page, Brother Darrell "speaking OFF the WALL"      


                      FAITH HAD A FAMILY: WHO KNEW?

I remember the first time my mom took me to church. I was about six years old and I was completely fascinated by all the people, the sounds and the colors. People were shouting and singing and then a man in a bright colored robe got up and started shouting at us, for a long time and then went around knocking people out. I remember asking my mom “why is that man in the bath robe knocking people out?” she said “boy, Pastor Richie is not knocking anybody out, it’s God knocking them out in the Spirit.” I thought to myself that can’t be, God is strong and powerful He’d probably kill somebody! Then I looked at the people lying on the floor to see if they were moving. Some had smiles on their face and some were shaking and saying “thank you Jesus!”

Another thing I noticed is that everybody went around calling each other brother and sister so and so and there was a lot of hugging and handshaking going on. I asked “mom! Are we related to all these people?” She said “boy if you don’t hush your mouth while we’re in church, Yes! Yes we are related, we are children of the most high God, we are the family of faith” After that she gave me one of those looks that said “don’t bother me again if you want to live.”

 I just sat there marveling at the number of sisters and brothers I had that I never knew about. From that day forward I looked forward to going to church and hanging out with my new family. They taught me how to sing and praise the Lord. Family members from other churches came and visited us and sometimes we visited them. We had a lot of fun.

 Then one day the man in the robe, the one my mom called “pasta Richie” put some “grease” on my forehead and then hit me so hard up side my head I almost fell over backwards. I said “mom! that ain't no spirit! I knew he was knocking people out!”

 Church was becoming my second home, but one thing still bothered me so I asked my mom, “Mom we’ve been coming hear for about a year, when am I gonna meet Faith?” Mom just looked at me and laughed and said “when you get older you’ll see that faith has been here all along, now hush your mouth.” I just scratched my head.

I hope you all enjoyed this story, I will be sprinkling them in throughout the year, again feel free to leave comments here or on my Face Book page,  Brother Darrell "speaking OFF the wall",
