ACTS OF VILENESS THAT KENYAN CHURCH LEADERS MUST REPENT OF!
INTRODUCTION
When men in their arrogance rise up against the Living God, they actually put themselves in the
position of being the enemies of God. This attitude brings down upon them, the curses which
God has in store for the disobedient. These are times when men have positioned themselves as
the enemies of God rather than the friends of God. God mercy cries out long to His people
through His messengers to get them to repent and return to right relationship with Him, but
when they steadfastly and stubbornly refuse the time comes when God ceases to strive with
them in mercy. At that point, God releases upon mankind, His judgments.
God’s judgments are just and they are perfect and in actuality they are another aspect of the
love of God for humanity. If God does not judge sin, all men will perish in their iniquities and
wickedness. When we stop and consider the mercies of God, and the patience He exhibits
towards humanity, we can see clearly that the judgments which God brings are the extension of
that enduring love.
In a time when love is comprised of the false elements of permissiveness, compromise, and
flattery, there are very few who will realize how far that man have strayed from God and His
righteousness. Many of those who are professing to be followers of Christ are actually His
enemies, through their attitudes, their actions, and their sins against His righteousness. A close
observation of the word of God shows that time and again, God’s people strayed from Him,
taking on the attributes of the heathen seeking to pervert the standard of God through their
idolatry and wanton behavior. Then in the spirit of drunkenness, they would only wax worse in
their sins. The mercy of God would finally lapse into the judgments of God whereby the children
of Israel would be punished by God, only to suffer till they came to the place of repentance
before Him.
So it is in these times, the hand of God for judgments is against the ungodly, those who have
known God and stayed from Him in their whoredoms with other gods and the practices of the
heathen. For too long, men have made light of God, of His righteousness, of His standard while
they have pursued their own ways of filthiness, vileness and abominable practices.
Consequently, the overall moral decay and outright debauchery has increased and multiplied
itself.
Through the sowing and reaping principle, multitudes are perishing and in some instances it is
the direct result of the sins of the parents and the preceding generations who have sown to
iniquity. With the great upheavals which have transpired in the realm of morality and perspective
of godliness, men have yielded themselves more to the forces of darkness than to the force of
light. Because there has been such an upheaval, the result has been to bring men to destruction
and death, the crime of abortion stands as a blood red blotch crying “guilty” and the resultant
punishments shall come forth in the judgments of God.
When God unleashes His plagues or any other form of His judgments, He does it in such a way
that men cannot undo what is being brought forth by God. Because the “so called Christians” of
this generation have been very lazy about seeking God and His will, they have called down the
wrath of God upon themselves, upon their children, upon the nation. Why? Too many have
loved the world, they have loved sin, they have loved iniquity and they have abhorred the
standard, the righteousness, and the holiness of God, they have put such nonsense as
“feelings” as of more importance than the standard of God, they have accepted and embraced
perversion, deviation, and abomination under the guise of compassion and understanding. They
have made heroes of those who are reprobate in their behavior and they have created a god of
their own imagination and done away with the God of the bible.
In doing all of those things, they have only continued to grieve God and to drive His true Spirit
out of the way that they could walk in their own way, the way of deception, the way of
worldliness, the way of wickedness. Now, God in His love will give to men what they have
coming, for they have refused His warning, they have refused His messengers, they have
refused His merciful pleadings again and again to repent. And so, God has unleashed the
plagues described in this book, against many. Many shall die, multitudes will suffer, and many
will perish in their sins and be sealed in hell. Does God find pleasure in such a people as these?
No, but because God is righteous, and because He is ultimately the loving Father, He must
punish the ungodly as an example that not all men will likewise perish in their sins.
This is not the time to make light of God, or to mock His word, but indeed, this is the time to
walk with fear and trembling before the presence of Almighty God. When the anger side of God
is evidencing itself, which is the time to walk all the more circumspectly with reverence for His
holiness, His standard, His righteousness. Let us take to heart and repent before the Living God
even this day, not only for the sins committed but also for the sin which comes of simply “not
caring” enough about the will of God to seek His face with fasting, prayers and supplications.
God will not always strive with man, and though God desires a holy people, if men and women
continue in their whorish rebellion against the world. Our only advice is to any and all who will
read this book, is repent, repent, and repent, that you do not incur the wrath of God.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :
Reprobate
that which is rejected on account of its own worthlessness (Jer.
6:30; Heb. 6:8; Gr. adokimos, "rejected"). This word is also
used with reference to persons cast away or rejected because
they have failed to make use of opportunities offered them (1
Cor. 9:27; 2 Cor. 13:5-7).
Plsm 49: 10-14. The poor and the rich have one thing in common when they die; they leave all
they own here on earth. At the moment of death (and all of us face that moment), both rich and
poor are naked and empty –handed before God. The only riches we have at that time are those
we have already invested in our internal heritage. At the time of death, each of us will wish we
had invested less on earth, where we will retain it forever. This is a good time to check up on
your investments and see where you have invested the most. Then do something about it
Men and women in our nation are full of folly. They are full of vexation and they imagine that
they want their own way. And they will Labour Day and night to receive the same, and yet desire
to say that they are God’s people. But they do not understand the basic principle that God has
established, that when any Men will belong to Him becomes His. When the living God will be the
God of his people He shall rule them with divine dictatorship, for He loves them and desires to
keep them separated from the world and from the attributes of death that would seek to devour
them. But when people grow highly minded and arrogant and conceived against God, then they
imagine that they their own way. God sends His prophets to them, to show them the error of
their way, to show them their sins and their folly. And if they still refuse to repent and return to
him, the living God turns then over to their own way. And when they wabble in their own way
they end in a ditch
for they do not have the strength to walk uprightly and they do not have the strength to reprove
sin but rather they embrace the same and become reprobate in their thinking. We are living in
times in our nation when many men and women have turned over to their own way, to their own
despise and their own lust for they steadfastly refuse to repent and turn from their wicked ways
and though God sent his messages crying to them they refused to receive the message that
came from God.
Therefore the living God has turned them over they are locked into themselves, they are locked
into their folly and madness and stupidity and blindness and they meander about and bring forth
confusion and delusion in the times in which we are living in this nation many are deluded and
end med. They live in confusion day in day out, they have no moral integrity but they are full of
filthiness and vileness and they commit abomination all the day long in Gods sight and it is
because the living God has turned men over to themselves, over to their own way and over to
their demise. It is Gods desire that men will walk uprightly, that men would know him as the
righteous God that they would adhere to his truth. But when men and women in our nation have
desired their own way, their own lust, their own fantasies more than God. Time has come when
God is turning from such men and women and no longer plead with them but is turning them
over to that which they have
imagined that they have wanted. When men are turned over, their thinking is no longer clear,
but they are under the dominion power of their own lust and their own wickedness. They are
under the authority of their own inequities and no longer are they able to raise above those
things and come into the glories that are found in Christ but they are ruled by their own things.
Stop and consider the many words plot against this nation, who plot against the righteous of
God and the Holiness of God, yet they say they are Gods people. Men and women in our nation
are reprobate in their thinking and they look only to be consumed in their own lusts for they do
not desire the righteousness of God nor Gods holiness within but they think they desire their
own way. And they realize not that their own way is indeed the way of destruction.
There are many canning men in this nation year in our nation and their canning is not applied to
fight the wicked one but their canning is applied to fight against the living God. They think up
ways that they may have their folly, have their sin and be justified in Gods sight. But the only
one that they are deceiving is their own selves. For living God is not deceived by canning men.
And his standards remain despite all their inventions and fairy tales and stories that they make
up for in all of their efforts they bring forth. the only one deceived are they themselves for God is
not deceived, he does not alter the way that he does things for the canning craftiness of
deceitful workers but instead the living God does keep his hand and keeps it over all those who
will love his appearing.
Let us have God and be glad that it is the living God who has purposed us and called us as a
nation let us not be led astray by silly messengers who teach us who walk in our lust and walk in
our inequities and tell us that we are okay. But rather let us look to the living God and seek to
walk in his law, walk in his statues, walk in his righteousness. When we are guided about with
truth we shall be kept. They are many deceivers in this nation in this generation. They lay and
wait for them, then they catch them in a snere and overwhelm them and destroy them and yet
those ones who are hunting the souls are not hunting the souls that they could be redeemed
from the hand of wickedness, but they are hunting the sows to pull them out of the hand of
righteousness. And because God’s people in this nation are not alert in spirit, they are easily
snared and because they are not doing the warfare, against their inward enemies, they are
overwhelmed from within for
within every men there is iniquity and lust that will destroy His sow. But it is up to each men and
each women and even each child to war against those principalities and power and to realize
they are the enemy of their solution.
Those who wage the warfare, will be kept but those who throw up their hands, or look for a way
of escape, or look for an easy route, or look for the indulgence of their own lusts, they will be
overwhelmed and overtaken. We are living in a time in our nation when many are not full of the
strength and vigor that comes from walking uprightly, but they are full of vice, sin, degradation
and decay. And because of that they are weak and enfeebled They are emaciated, they cannot
hold themselves erect in spirit, but they fall down again and again continually in sin.
Prov 13:16 Being spontaneous can be fun, but it is not the best way to approach every
situation. There is a place for planning and self discipline, especially when you have goals to
reach. Some people think planning is too restrictive. In reality it can set a person free to enjoy
the life and to be productive. Take time to set goals, to plan your course of action and to set
your priorities before you launch into action. We can fool ourselves by refusing to admit our
wrongs and face the consequences of our actions. Like children we close our eyes and wish the
problem would go away. Instead wisely look a head with your eyes wide open. Then you will be
ready to act. Prov 14:8-18.
Prov 16:22 For centuries people sought a fountain of youth, a spring which they thought would
give eternal life and vitdity. It was never found. But Gods wisdom is a fountain of life that can
make a person happy, healthy and alive forever. How? When we live by God’s Word, He
washes away the deadly effects of sin (Titus 3:4-8) and the hope of eternal life with Him gives
us a joyful perspective on our present life. The fountain of youth was only a dream, but a
fountain of life is reality. The choice is yours you can be enlightened by God’s wisdom or you
can be dragged down by the weight of your own foolishness. Proverbs 26:4-5
Ecel 1:16-18 Solomon highlights two kinds of wisdom in the book of Ecel 1.Human knowledge,
reasoning or philosophy.
2. The wisdom that comes from God in these verses Solomon is talking about human
knowledge. Ignores God, It only highlights our problems because it cannot provide answers that
need an eternal perspective and solution, the wisest men in the act and think wisely. He
emphasized that no matter how much we know, there are always mysteries we will never
understand. So thinking you have enough wisdom is a sure sign that you don’t Eccel 7:23-25.
Eccle 10:5-9 By describing there circumstance that aren’t fair or don’t make sense, Solomon is
saying that wisdom alone can not bring justice. Solomon continues to build to his conclusion
everything we have (from wisdom to riches) is nothing without God. And what little we have,
when God is using it, become all we could ever want.
When we will not indulge ourselves in sinful thinking and fantasy and seek to know God’s word
and have our minds and hearts clothed in the same, we will be made strong. For indeed God’s
word is the lamp to our feet and it will cause us to walk in a way that’s straight and narrow. But
when our nation has turned aside from God’s word, and began to philosophize, we have turned
ourselves over to the hands of demons. Many in our nation have lost their souls by attempting to
be broad-minded, that is they have opened themselves up to the author of demons. They have
opened themselves up to the poison of evils spirits and because of that they have been
destroyed.
We do not need to be broach minded any more we need to walk in the broad way for God has
not purposed to us to take us to walk in God’s truth and declare Him as He his. When we will
heed to the living God and declare Him as he is, when we will fight the good fight we will be
kept. For the living God will put His strengthening hand upon them, and we shall not be
overwhelmed nor deceived easily, but we shall be valiant for the truth.
God’s people in Kenya are running into nests of them, that is those demon powers that have
convicted themselves that they are right, that is they lie to one another day and night through
the vehicle of human sources and they convict each other that they are right. But their
conviction is demonic for they are wrong and the living God warns us that there are literally
nests of them. But their plot is not to bring souls to salvation and redemption but their plot is to
devour other souls as they have been devoured. There are some men in this nation, they are no
more than vehicles of destruction. They are no more than vehicles of demon powers, they wear
religious clocks and bear religious titles by they are working for the wicked one, for the living
God never ordain His true ones find an excuse for disobedience and to find a justification for
their lusts and for their sins, but the living God empowers His true ones to differentiate between
the wicked and
the good, to separate between the vile and the precious and to know when the living God will
show them wickedness inherent.
God’s true ones will be discerning in spirit, for they will walk in spirit. But the lazy, the slothful
and the compromising will be easily overwhelmed by the demonic messengers. It has not
changed for in times past there were many demonic messengers yet they were saying they
were Abraham’s seed. But they were not of the seed of Abraham, but they were of the devil. So
it is true in this nation in this generation, the same religious devils lay in wait to destroy to
devour and to cause men to be in destruction. Believes of them, for they are wolves who clothe
themselves in sheep’s clothing and they go about offering an easy way, offering a broad way,
offering a way of compromise and excuse making, a way where men may indulge His lusts and
his sins, and live in iniquity and think that he is justified in Christ. But the offerings that they put
forth are only the snares of death. For indeed when a simple minded will all fall for their prey,
will fall for
their way, know that the simple minded has started down the pathway to hell.
Let us be not of simpletons who are easily overtaken, but let us arm ourselves thoroughly with
God’s word. Let us be diligent in prayers and supplications and fasting before the living God that
we would stay alert in spirit. For indeed the war has not ceased, but it continues and there are
many wicked in this hour in this nation and they are rampaging and raging, waiting to take souls
into pray and they are subtle and crafty and cunning in their deceits, but they are deceivers
nonetheless. Let us not look for sweet things and palatable things and easy things and broad
ways, but rather let us look for Christ the son of the living God. And if God’s sayings are herd to
us, let us know that they are herd against the sin that is still within us, for God’s herd sayings
shall purge the iniquity out of us. Thank God that He calls us to walk circumspectly, that he calls
us to walk in the narrow way. Rejoice in the principle of Gods truth that keeps us
girded about that we are not destroyed and devoured and overwhelmed, but that we are kept in
the way.
Rejoice for the principle that Gods truth doer instill in us, for Gods truth is pure and undefiled. If
any men will genuinely love Christ, he will not look for an excuse to sin; he will not look for a
compromising cover up of his inequity. But he will walk plainly in the truth and let the truth burn
away that which is cross. This day rejoice for the truth, be glad, and give thanks. Hearken not to
lie, nor to their lying messages but hearken to the truth, for the truth shall cause us to be free.

Judges 9:4] And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him. Politics played a
major part Baal-Berith. Governments often used so far as to hire temple prostitutes to bring in
additional monies. In many cares a religious system was setup and supported by the
government so the offerings could fund community projects. Religion became a profit –making
business. In Israel’s religion, this was strictly forbidden God’s system of religion was designed to
come from an attitude of the heart, not from calculated plans and business opportunities, it was
also designed to serve people and help those in need, not to oppress the needy.
God has called us as a nation to follow Him. Yeah God has called His people to follow Him, but
we do not follow Him for they get stagnated in religion and they go under the spirit of religiosity
and they become estranged from the living God. God has not called men to be packaged up by
other men, but God has called men to be needy of Him for He is the omnipresent the glorious
and the one true God. God has called men to cry out to Him in spirit that God could give them
the truth. For indeed it gives Gods pleasure to pour His spirit truth upon His people. It gives God
pleasure to see His people strengthen by the same. But because men are lazy they accept the
stagnation, they accept the rut, and they are estranged from God. But this is the day and the
hour and the generation that the living God is putting forth the clarion call. God is calling men to
come out of the death and to come into the life of who he is. Think it a joy and a privilege to
come to
Christ. For religion teaches Gods people to be afraid of Him, that is they will be afraid of the
move of Gods spirit, they will be afraid of Gods outpouring, they will be afraid of Gods sword,
they will be afraid of Gods word. Then they cluster themselves beneath their stagnated roots of
compromise and complacency. They think they will protect themselves from the spirit rain that
the living God shall pour. But it is not so, it is not true that they may stop God. For Gods rain
shall pour forth and wherever men shall hunger and thirst, they shall be filled, washed, cleansed
and sanctified.
Indeed God is pouring forth the waters of washing of His word. And when Gods water does
come, men are made clean. But when men are left to their own devices they grow religiously
filthy, they are in stagnation and pollution. When you look upon the stagnated pools that men
have created and the filthiness contain there in our nation, they are abomination to God. For
truly God does not desire his people to be polluted and covered in the filthiness of stagnated
water. But god desires his people to be washed continuously through the washing of his spirit
word and spirit waters. When Gods people free themselves from the stagnated pools of men,
they come a way with the stench, but Gods spirits water will cleanse them. God will pour those
who are hungering and thirsting for God. Be not as the foolish, be not as the stupid and the dull
who go into the stagnation and there remain and die.
But come out from among them and be free for God has called his people to walk in Him. When
men take crafty counsel together, they teach Gods people to fear God. That is they teach them
that the true outpouring of Gods spirit is demons, that’s the outpouring of Gods life is to be
feared and to be stayed away from. Instead they tell them that the solution is in their deed,
stagnated water but they are liars and hypocrites. They only take men under their spell that they
may be in control, for they themselves are not yielded over to Christ but they are desirous of
building their kingdoms in these earth and they are not looking to the eternal Kingdom. Indeed
they are not true shepherds for they do not care for Gods flock but they only care for theie own
estates. God has not called His people to be under wicked men, and in polluted ponds, but He
has called his people to come and follow Him for He is the living God. When you hunger for the
living God, when
you thirst for the living God, He hears you.
But if you content yourself on the pollution and in the damnation and the degradation of their
stagnation, you will die as they are dead. For indeed the living God knows the danger that is in
the pollutedness of men and He call His people out of the same religion in its self is a stagnated
dog. It is a pool of mire and all of those who go in it and do not hearken to Gods clarion call to
come out, they shall die. For indeed the waters contain death for they are not the refreshing
waters of Gods spirit life. Stay away from religion, stay away from religiosity, indeed those
things hold the very principle of death in them, for they bar Gods spirit in filling, they bar Gods
spirit water and Gods spirit life. Many people in our nation have lost their souls in the quagmire
of religion, they have lost their zeal, their enthusiasm and their love in the living God. And they
have settled down in the compromise they have settled down in the stagnation and pollution
and they have been overwhelmed.
God has not called us to settle down in death but to come forward in the newness of life of who
He is. For indeed when he will desire the life he will be given the life but shall die in the same.
Do not give up your soul for the comforts of men, for in eternity no men can comfort you. When
men will yield themselves over to compromise and complacency and stagnation they actually
damn their own souls but any men who will content for the truth, and remain valiant, the living
God will keep such one. And He will be in eternity for he will have stood for the truth and he will
see the truth prevail even in himself. It is a temptation to many to settle down in the quagmire of
religion. But they realize not that is a vicious trap htat the enemy has prepared for them, for in
the quagmire is the destruction of Human souls.
1 Sam 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.
[23] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king..
This is the first of numerous places in the scripture where the theme is “Obedience is better than
sacrifice” is repeated (Psalms 40:[6] Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
[7] Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
[8] I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart 51:[16] For thou desirest not
sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise. Proverb 21: [3] To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than
sacrifice., Isa 1:[11] To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the
LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the
blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
[12] When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my
courts?
[13] Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and
sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
[14] Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I
am weary to bear them.
[15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make
many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
[16] Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease
to do evil;
[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the
widow. Jer. 7:[21] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto
your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
[22] For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out
of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
[23] But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye
shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well
unto you., Hos 6:[6] For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than
burnt offerings. Micah 6:[6] Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before
the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
[7] Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
[8] He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?, Math 12:[7] But if ye had known
what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the
guiltless.} was Samuel saying that sacrifice is unimportant? No, he was arguing Saul to look at
his reasons for making the sacrifice, rather than at the sacrifice itself. A sacrifice was a ritual
transaction between men and God that physically demonstrated a relationship between them.
But if the persons heart was not truly dependant or if he did not truly love God, the sacrifice was
a hollow ritual. Religious ceremonies or ritual and empty unless they are performed with an
attitude of love and obedience “being religious” (going to church, praying, giving to charity) is not
enough if we do not act out of devotion and obedience to God.
There are many voices in our nation saying “come into us and we will keep you”. But all are
compromising demons sent to devour and destroy souls, for it is not the compromising demons
that shall keep Gods people but it is the living God, the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ that shall keep his people. When Gods people are willing to contend for their truth, the
living God will give them the weaponry they are in need of. But when men grow lazy and grow
dull they will settle to die. Do not take the arms of the harlot for they are on every hand. They
are saying “come into us and we will keep you”. But they are lying spirits sent to deceive. For in
deed religion is as though whereas are on parade. Each one is a beckoning call and in desiring
to devour souls. They are saying “come into us, and we will keep you. But they will not keep you
at all but they will destroy you, they will seduce you and devour you. Refute the unfruitful works
of
darkness, refute the works of religiosity, go not into them. For many young men and women in
our nation have lost souls by their beckoning call, by their desires to devour and by their
seducing, spirits. But you need not be in the halls of the damned but you can be in the halls of
righteousness when you will stand for the truth. You will not be seduced. But when you grow
weary, when you grow lazy, when you desire to be seduced you will be overtaken and
overwhelmed.
Do not be seduced by these beguiling devils but stand valiant for the truth and remain in Christ.
For the living God has never called his people to wallow themselves in the death of religion, but
he has called his people to stand in him. Therefore do not be ashamed of what you will go
through as you stand in Christ but count it as part of your glory. For indeed, those who will
endure persecution, and those who will endure the fire they will be valiant for the truth. And all
who live godly will suffer persecution for it is part of the cup. But those who will yield themselves
over to compromise and sluggishness and to lethargy, they will be easily overwhelmed and
overtaken. Do not be as the fools who go headlong to their own destruction by thinking that they
may find an easy and comfortable way. For there is a comfortable way to stand for the truth, for
God has not ordered it to be so. But all of those who will come into Christ, they shall find their
strength, their rest, their safety in him. For indeed Christ will stand for those who stand for him
and they will be strengthened thereby.
1 Kings 1:[9] And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which
is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's
servants: Sacrifices were traditionally offered when a new king was crowned. They were called
peace offerings, and they showed the nation’s joy over their newly appointed leader. A priest
had to offer the sacrifices showing that the King’s power was from God. To make his coronation
seem legitimate, Adonijah wanted sacrifices offered. But Adonijah was not God’s choices to
succeed David. Sealing an action with religious ceremony does not make it God’s will.
Mt 5:[20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of
the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. The Pharisees
were executing and scrupulous in their attempts to follow the law. So how could Jesus
reasonably call us to a greater righteousness than their? The Pharisees’ weakness was that
they were content to obey the law outwardly without allowing it to change their hearts (or
attitudes). Jesus was saying therefore, that the quality of our goodness needs to be greater than
that of the Pharisees. We can lock Pious and still be far from the Kingdom of God. God judges
our hearts as well as our deeds, for it is in the heart where our real allegiance lies. Be just as
concerned about your attitudes, which people don’t see as your actions which are seen by all.
Jn 6:[26] Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because
ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Jesus criticized the
people who followed Him only for the physical and temporal benefits, not because they were
spiritually hungry. We should follow Christ because we need the truth. Many people in our
nation use religion to gain prestige, comfort or votes. But these are self-centered motives. True
believers follow Jesus simply because they know His way is the way to live.
There are many who started out in our nation to follow Christ, but they gave up along the way
now they are part of the enemy’s camp. And they are attempting to beckon others to come into
the same sludge mire they are caught in. they are attempting to beckon others to come into the
compromise to come into the complacency and to come into the foolishness. And because they
are attempting to get them into the same mess, they will make up all manner of excuses to
beguile them. But the living God has His spirit. People who have not compromised and they
remain as citadels of truth.
Consider when a man is well accepted and well spoken of, and a man is lifted up amongst the
religious circles, they know that the man has compromised along the way. For indeed when the
religious begin to accept any men, know that he is no longer God’s messenger. For indeed
God’s message will always come against religion and those who are highly religious will despise
God’s messenger. when you see a man sent under the action of the spirit, know that the
religious will reject him, but when a man goes forth and has compromised with the religious of
course they will embrace him as a brother, put their filthy arms around him and pull him further
down.
When men in our nation have given themselves over to religious compromises, they have been
accepted among the false brethren. But there in our nation who have stood valiant for the truth,
they have been rejected among the false brethren. Stand valiant for the truth declare the truth,
stand in Christ, the living God shall stand with us and we shall be brought forth. When a man
has put himself into a trap and he sees the error of his way and fights his way but, it is best that
he learns by his mistakes and re-enter not into such traps. For indeed the religious have many
traps whereby they snare souls. But know it of a truth that the living God never sent them forth
nor established them, but they have established themselves. They have established themselves
because they desired to play God and have their own Kingdom in this earth. They desire to
snare others by the very snares that they themselves were taken. But when a man has been
snared and he sees the
error of his way and refuses the unfruitful works of darkness and comes out of the snare. But
he will use the experience to go in the light and to follow Christ and not be taken again in
religion.
Do not be a partaker of the religious cycle of death but be a partaker of Christ the Son of the
Living God and you shall live.

SEPARATION, contracts. When the husband and wife agree to live apart they
are said to have made a separation.
2. Contracts of this kind are generally made by the husband for himself
and by the wife with trustees. 4 Paige's R. 516; 3 Paige's R. 483; 5 Bligh,
N. S. 339; 1 Dow & Clark, 519. This contract does not affect the marriage,
and the parties may, at any time agree to live together as husband and wife.
The husband who has agreed to a total separation cannot bring an action for
criminal conversation with the wife. Roper, Hush. and Wife, passim; 4 Vin.
Ab. 173; 2 Stark. Ev. 698; Shelf. on Mar. & Div. ch. 6, p. 608.

separation in courts of law and equity. 1 Dowl. P. C. 245; 2 Cox, R. 105; 3
Bro. C. C. 619, n.; 11 Ves. 532. Public policy forbids that parties should
be permitted to make agreements for themselves to hold good whenever they

Mt 25:31-46 God will separate His obedient followers from pretenders and unbelievers. The real
evidence of our belief is the way we act. To treat all person we encounter us if they are Jesus is
no easy task. What we do for others demonstrates what we really think about Jesus words to us
–feed the hungry, give the homeless a place to stay, visit the sick. How well do your actions
separate you from pretenders and unbelievers?
It is the living God who has established the principle of separation, for He desires that his
people would be a holy people, a peculiar people, separated to Him. God desire that His people
would come out of the filthiness of Sodom
And Egypt and come to him for he is their God. And because he is the God of holiness, he
desires a holy people. But God’s people in our nation are co-minglers with the world. They are
co-minglers with that which is filthy vile, polluted and corrupt in His sight. And because they
mingle themselves, amongst the filth ness and they mingle themselves, in the ways of the world
they are not separated to God. When God’s people are not separated from God for God stops
pleading with men, He gives up pleading with woman when they will not but their sins aside.
And because they will not separate themselves from their sins and their ungodly actions the
time comes that the living God separates Himself from them.
Indeed it is God who has established the principle of separation. And all of those who will
adhere to Him and obey His laws, they will automatically be separated from the world. For when
men will obey God’s laws and His commands to them, there commands will lead them into
separation. But when men will put aside God’s laws and His commandments thinking that it is
more important to be pleasers of men, and pleasers of their own selves, they work themselves
into a state of separation from God, there are multitudes, multitudes, multitudes who are
separated from God because they have never known Him in our nation. That is one form of
God’s separation principle. And the provision has been made through the shed blood and they
may no longer be separated but they may be accepted in the beloved. Likewise there are those
in this nation who are separated because they will not put aside their sins for though they say
they are God’s people, they will not walk
uprightly, they will not turn from their own wickedness, they will not turn to Christ, therefore they
are separated but they bring it upon themselves. Indeed God has called His people to be a
separated people. But He has called them to separate themselves from the ungodly to
separated themselves from the perverse, the wicked, the vile, and come to Christ.
When God’s people are well pleasing they will live separated lives, they will be God’s peculiar
ones that He has chosen. And they will be a joy to God, and they shall likewise know God’s joy
in their lives, they shall serve God with gladness with rejoicing and thanks giving. For because
the separation is God’s principle, those who will use it in the right light, those who will obey His
commands to them, those who come forth in obedience when they shall live separated lives that
God has ordered for his people, we shall people full of His presences, full of His power and full
of His joy.
The wicked one knows the power that the living God not only invoke, but that He empowers the
ones were separated with. For when God’s people separate to Him, He fills them with great
power and glory. And the wicked one is well aware of the same that is why he works so hard at
keeping God’s people from separating themselves from the world. For He will use every
enticement every beguilement and every enchantment that He knows how to use to deceive
them. And He does it because of the wickedness within, He does it because he desires to
devour souls, he does it because he knows that he can take them into the world and they will be
separated from God. Then when they are separated from the living God, they have no strength,
they have no power to resist, they have no glory upon them and they are easily destroyed if
God’s people in our nation would hearken to God, they would hear His word, they would receive
the same with gladness and joy and thanksgiving.
And they would know that it is the living God who does purpose them, bring them forth and give
them the light continually.
Rejoice that it is the living God who has brought the light to our nation, and it is the living God
who is giving our nation direction and instruction. For truly if we shall begin even this day to
separate ourselves from the world, to separate ourselves from all that is ungodly and unclean
and perverse in God’s sight. We will find our strength is on the increase. But God’s people in our
nation are so often weak and feeble, they totter about, they have no stamina to stand for they
are full of the world. When any men will drink of the polluted water, he will become defiled; he
will become sick and diseased. But when any men will drink of Christ and Him alone he is made
strong.
2Cor 6:14-17 Paul urged believers not to form binding relationships with nonbelievers, because
this might weaken their Christian commitment, integrity or standards. Earlier Paul had explained
that this did not mean isolating themselves from nonbelievers (1cor 5:9-10) Paul even told
Christians to stay with their spouses (1cor 7:12-13) Paul wanted believers to be active in their
witness for Christ to nonbelievers, but they should not lock themselves into personal or business
relationships which should cause them to compromise their faith. Just as those in business
should avid conflicts of interest believers should avoid situations that would force them to divide
their loyalties.
In the separation from the world God’s people shall find great strength. They shall go from
generation to generation, because they are not weakened by worldliness. But those who
continually are weakened by worldliness they shall dissipate, they shall die, they shall be no
more, for they have yielded themselves to filthiness, vileness and corruption. Let us be unction
giving thanks and rejoicing in the lord Jesus Christ the son of the living god that he gives us
mercy day by day for indeed we will separate and come to the living God. His mercies only
increases towards us for He find his joy in us. Gods people are stupid, dull and blinded when
they refuse to separate themselves from the world, they only cause their own demise. There are
many in this nation in this generation they name the Lord’s name, they claim they belong to
Christ. But in a years time they are flat out on streets again. And they are back into the pits of
sin, they are back into
degradation, they are back into vileness. Why? Because they would not separate themselves
from the death influences and because they did not come out of death the death come into them
again. And they were over whelmed and over taken. When we will come out of the death a
nation there is nothing that awaits us except the life what an exchange, what a joy; what a
privilege to give up the deed existence and come into the living one. Indeed those who shall live
and abide in Christ, they shall have the life and have it more abundantly for the lord is the God
of abundance and this abundance his gives to his people. If you lack in stamina, if you lack in
strength, if you lack in endurance, bring yourself before God and let Him show you what you
must from. For the sins of Sodom are as parasites, they attach themselves to God’s people. But
if God’s people would walk fully in light of who He is and they would come into Christ and
separate from the world, the
parasites would find nothing to feed off of. But because God’s people in this nation are dull, in
their spiritual sensitivities, they do not come into Christ to receive their instruction, therefore they
are weak and feeble and tottering and wondering and meandering about.
Indeed when God’s people in this nation will allow themselves to be harnessed when they will
allow themselves to be brought into the feed when they will allow themselves to be separated
from the world, then shall their spiritual scurvy increase and they shall grow greatly sensitive in
Him. What joy does the living God find in a dull and a dump people? There is none but when
God’s people are separated from the filth of the world and they are not contaminated by the
same, and they are walking in God’s light and in His glory, they are sensitive to the voice of the
spirit of God and they will walk in His light and they will walk where the Lord ells where to walk.
And hey will partake of and they will withhold from what God tells them to withdrew from. Those
who are alert are the ones who will receive instruction that would cause them to go forward in
the light and they will walk where the Lord tells them to walk. And they will partake of what God
tells
them to partake of and they will withhold from what God tells them to withdrew from. Those who
are alert are the one’s who will receive the instruction that would cause them to go forward in
the light.
If we love Christ we will keep His commandments part of the principle God has of operation, that
He has established, is separation. And when God’s people in this nation will positively adhere
themselves to separation from the world, they only find a great increase in Him. Let us not be a
nation who decrease and fall away, but let us be a nation who increase and multiply. For indeed
God Has not called us to multiply in death, but He has called us to multiply in life, for He is the
God of great abundance when we are separated to Christ the life shall come and this life shall
increase and the life shall go out to others. It is a joy to be a peculiar people, a separated people
holy to God for He is the holy God. Those who say they are God’s people in this nation yet they
spend the filth of Egypt, and long for the world, they only frustrate their own selves. For a man
can not serve two masters and when God’s people in this nation have panted for
worldliness the living God has turned them over and they are be separated from Him.
Let us not as a nation desire that which would destroy us, but let us desire the living God for He
is the very issue of life to us. And when we will continually desire Him He shall to us. Let us not
be as the double minded, unstable in all of your ways, but a separated people holy to Him.
Come out from among the unclean, come out from among the religious hypocrites, come out
from among the perverts and those who wallow themselves in vileness. Come out from those
wretches and come to Christ for it is Him the son of the living God who desires fellowship with
us. What joy could we find in fellowship with the unbelieving, with the filthy, with the corrupted,
with the vile and the hypocritical polluted ones? What joy of fellowship could we find with them?
There is none, There is only contamination, degradation and destruction.
But when we come apart from all of that and come to Christ, then shall we know the joy of God’s
fellowship continually for the living God will dwell with us. And He will pour out and pour out and
pour out for there is no and to His presence there is no and to His glory there is no and to the
way that He is magnified in our midst. Let us be gland and rejoice for the privilege to know
Christ, for the privilege to call upon His name and for the privilege to walk in the light of who He
is. Look not to the left nor right even this day, but look to Christ knowing indeed that the Lord is
our God, our maker, and our source. Let us look to Christ and know that when we shall eat of
Him and partaken of Him we shall be a people and a nation made strong, a people and a nation
who will conquer and a people and a nation separated for God’s Holy purpose. God does not
pour His beautiful perfect and divide substance into defiled and contaminated vessels but He
pour
the very finest into those who will cleanse themselves and seek to be made pour in spirit and in
flesh. Indeed when God’s people in our nation will cleanse themselves from the filthiness of the
flesh and spirit we will be suitable for His higher purpose, we will be a holy people and
separated to the living God.

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
DISTRESS, remedies. A distress is defined to be, the taking of a personal
chattel, without legal process, from the possession of the wrong doer, into
the hands of the party grieved, as a pledge for the redress of an injury,
the performance of a duty, or the satisfaction of a demand. 3 Bl. Com. 6. It
is a general rule, that a man who has an entire duty, shall not split the
entire sum and distrain for part of it at one time, and part of it at
another time. But if a man seizes for the whole sum that is due him, but
mistakes the value of the goods distrained, there is no reason why he should
not afterwards complete his execution by making a further seizure. 1 Burr.
589. It is to be observed also, that there is an essential difference
between distresses at common law and distresses prescribed by statute. The
former are taken nomine penae, (q.v.) as a means of compelling payment; the
latter are similar to executions, and are taken as satisfaction for a duty.
The former could not be sold the latter might be. Their only similarity is,
that both are replevisable. A consequence of this difference is, that averia
carucae are distrainable in the latter case, although there be other
sufficient distress. 1 Burr. Rep. 588.
2. The remedy by distress to enforce the payment of arrears of rent is
so frequently adopted by landlords, (Co. Lit. 162, b,) that a considerable
space will be allotted to this article under the following heads: 1. The
several kinds of rent for which a distress may be made. 2. The persons who
may make it. 3. The goods which may be distrained. 4. The time when a
distress may be made. 5. In what place it may be made. 6. The manner of
making it, and disposing of the goods distrained. 7. When a distress will be
a waiver of a forfeiture of the lease.
3.-1. Of the rents for which a distress may be made. 1. A distress
may generally be taken for any kind of rent in arrear, the detention of
which, beyond the day of payment, is an injury to him who is entitled to
receive it. 3 Bl. Com. 6. The rent must be reserved out of a corporeal
hereditament, and must be certain in its quantity, extent, and time of
payment, or at least be capable of being reduced to certainty. Co. Lit. 96,
a.; 13 Serg. & Rawle, 64; 3 Penn. R. 30. An agreement that the lessee pay no
rent, provided he make repairs, and the value of the repairs is uncertain,
would not authorize the landlord to distrain. Addis. 347. Where the rent is
a certain quantity of grain, the landlord may distrain for so many bushels
in arrear, and name the value, in order that if the goods should not be
replevied, or the arrears tendered, the officer may know what amount of
money is to be raised by the sale, and in such case the tenant may tender
the arrears in grain. 13 Serg. & Rawle, 52; See 3 Watts & S. 531. But where
the tenant agreed, instead of rent, to render " one-half part of all the
grain of every kind, and of all hemp, flax, potatoes, apples, fruit, and
other produce of whatever kind that should be planted, raised, sown or
produced, on or out of the demised premises, within and during the terms,",
the landlord cannot, perhaps, distrain at all; he cannot, certainly,
distrain for a sum of money, although he and the tenant may afterwards have
settled their accounts, and agreed that the half of the produce of the land
should be fixed in money, for which the tenant gave his note, which was not
paid. 1 3 Serg. & Rawle, 5 2. But in another case it was held, that on a
demise of a grist mill, when the lessee is to render one-third of the toll,
the lessor may distrain for rent. 2 Rawle, 11.
4.-2. With respect to the amount of the rent, for which a lessor may
in different cases be entitled to make a distress, it may be laid down as a
general rule, that whatever can properly be considered as a part of the
rent, may be distrained for, whatever be the particular mode in which it is
agreed to be paid. So that where a person entered into possession of certain
premises, subject to the approbation of the landlord, which was afterwards
obtained, by agreeing to pay in advance, rent from the time be came into
possession, it was, in England, determined that the landlord might distrain
for the whole sum accrued before and after the agreement. Cowp. 784. For on
whatever day the tenant agrees that the rent shall be due, the law gives the
landlord the power of distraining for it at that time. 2 T. R. 600. But see
13 S. & R. 60. In New York, it was determined, that an agreement that the
rent should be paid in advance, is a personal covenant on which an action
lies, but not distress. 1 Johns. R. 384. The supreme court of Pennsylvania
declined deciding this point, as it was not necessarily before them. 13
Serg. & Rawle, 60. Interest due on rent cannot, in general, be distrained
for; 2 Binn. 146; but may be recovered from the tenant by action, unless
under particular circumstances. 6 Binn. 159.
5.-2. Of the persons entitled to make a distress. 1. When the
landlord is sole owner of the property out of which rent is payable to him,
he may, of course, distrain in his own right.
6.-2. Joint tenants have each of them an estate in every part of the
rent; each may, therefore, distrain alone for the whole, 3 Salk. 207,
although he must afterwards account with his companions for their respective
shares of the rent. 3 Salk. 17; 4 Bing. 562; 2 Brod. & B. 465; 5 Moore, 297
Y. B. 15 H. VIII, 17, a; 1 Chit. Pr. 270; 1 Tho. Co. Litt. 783, note R; Bac.
Ab. Account; 5 Taunt. 431; 2 Chit. R. 10; 3 Chit. Pl. 1297. But one joint
tenant cannot avow solely, because the avowry is always upon the right, and
the right of the rent is in all of them. Per Holt, 3 Salk. 207. They may all
join in making the distress, which is the better way.
7.-3. Tenants in common do not, like joint tenants, hold by one title
and by one right, but by different titles, and have several estates.
Therefore they should distrain separately, each for his share, Co. Lit. s.
317, unless the rent be of an entire thing, as to render a horse, in which
case, the thing being incapable of division, they must join. Co. Lit. 197,
a. Each tenant in common is entitled to receive, from the lessee, his
proportion of the rent; and therefore, when a person holding under two
tenants in common, paid the whole rent to one of them, after having received
a notice to the contrary from the other, it was held, that the party who
gave the notice might afterwards distrain. 5 T. R. 246. As tenants in common
have no original privity of estate between them, as to their respective
shares, one may lease his part of the land to the other, rendering rent, for
which a distress may be made, as if the land had been demised to a stranger.
Bro. Ab. tit. Distress, pl. 65.
8.-4. It may be, perhaps, laid down as a general rule, that for rent
due in right of the wife, the husband may distrain alone; 2 Saund. 195; even
if it accrue to her in the character of executrix or administratrix. Ld.
Raym. 369. With respect to the remedies for the recovery of the arrears of a
rent accruing in right of his wife, a distinction is made between rent due
for land, in which the wife has a chattel interest, and rent due in land, in
which she has an estate of freehold and inheritance. And in some cases, a
further distinction must be made between a rent accruing before and rent
accruing after the coverture. See, on this subject, Co. Lit. 46, b, 300, a;
351, a; 1 Roll. Abr. 350; stat; 32 Hen. VIII. c. 37, s. 3.
9.-5. A tenant by the curtesy, has an estate of freehold in the lands
of his wife, and in contemplation of law, a reversion on all land of the
wife leased for years or lives, and may distrain at common law for all rents
reserved thereon.
10.-6. A woman may be endowed of rent as well as of land; if a
husband, therefore, tenant in fee, make a lease for years, reserving rent,
and die, his widow shall be endowed of one-third part of the reversion by
metes and bounds, together with a third part of the rent. Co. Litt. 32, a.
The rent in this base is apportioned by the act of law, and therefore if a
widow be endowed of a third part of a rent in fee, she may distrain for a
third part thereof, and the heir shall distrain for the other part of the
rent. Bro. Abr. tit. Avowry, pl. 139.
11.-7. A tenant for his own life or that of another, has an estate of
freehold, and if he make a lease for years, reserving rent, he is entitled
to distrain upon the lessee. It may here be proper to remark, that at common
law, if a tenant for life made a lease for years, if be should so long live,
at a certain rent, payable quarterly, and died before the quarter day, the
tenant was discharged of that quarter's rent by the act of God. 10 Rep. 128.
But the 11 Geo. II. c. 19, s. 15, gives an action to the executors or
administrators of such tenant for life.
12.-8. By the statute 32 Henry VIII. c. 37, s. 1, "the personal
representatives of tenants in fee, tail, or for life, of rent-service, rentcharge, and rents-seek, and fee farms, may distrain for, arrears upon the
land charged with the payment, so long as the lands continue in seisin or
possession of the tenant in demesne, who ought to have paid the rent or fee
farm, or some person claiming under him by purchase, gift or descent." By
the words of the statute, the distress must be made on the lands while in
the possession of the "tenant in demesne," or some person claiming under
him, by purchase, gift or descent; and therefore it extends to the
possession of those persons only who claim under the tenant, and the statute
does not comprise the tenant in dower or by the curtesy, for they come in,
not under the party, but by act of law. 1 Leon. 302.
13.-9. The heir entitled to the reversion may distrain for rent in
arrear which becomes due after the ancestor's death; the rent does not
become due till the last minute of the natural day, and if the ancestor die
between sunset and midnight, the heir, and not the executor, shall have the
rent. 1 Saund. 287. And if rent be payable at either of two periods, at the
choice of the lessee, and the lessor die between them, the rent being
unpaid, it will go to the heir. 10 Rep. 128, b.
14.-10. Devisees, like heirs, may distrain in respect of their
reversionary estate; for by a devise of the reversion the rent will pass
with its incidents. 1 Ventr. 161.
15.-11. Trustees who have vested in them legal estates, as trustees of
a married woman, or assignees of an insolvent, may of course distrain in
respect of their legal estates, in the same manner as if they were
beneficially interested therein.
16.-12. Guardians may make leases of their wards' lands in their, own
names, which will be good during the minority of the ward. and,
consequently, in respect of such leases, they possess the same power of
distress as other persons granting leases in their own rights. Cro. Jac. 55,
98.
17.-13. Corporations aggregate should generally make and accept leases
or other conveyances of lands or rent, under their common seal. But if a
lease be made by an agent of the corporation, not under their common seal,
although it may be invalid as a lease, yet if the tenant hold under it, and
pay rent to the bailiff or agent of the corporation, that is sufficient to
constitute a tenancy at least from year to year, and to entitle the
corporation to distrain for rent. New Rep. 247. But see Corporation.
18.-3. Of the things which may or may not be distrained. Goods found
upon the premises demised to a tenant are generally liable to be distrained
by a landlord for rent, whether such goods in fact belong to the tenant or
other persons. Coin. Dig. Distress, B 1. Thus it has been held, that a
gentleman's chariot, which stood in a coach-house belonging to a common
livery stable keeper, was distrainable by the landlord for the rent due him
by the livery stable keeper for the coach-house. 3 Burr. 1498. So if cattle
are put on the tenant's land by consent of the owners of the beasts, they
are distrainable by the landlord immediately after for rent in arrear. 3 Bl.
Com. 8. But goods are sometimes privileged from distress, either absolutely
or conditionally.
19. First. Those of the first class are privileged, 1. In respect of the
owner of 2. Because no one can have property in them. 3. Because they cannot
be restored to the owner in the same plight as when taken. 4. Because they
are fixed to the freehold. 5. Because it is against the policy of law that
they should be distrained. 6. Because they are in the custody of the law. 7.
Because they are protected by some special act of the legislature.
20.-1. The goods of a person who has some interest, in the land
jointly with the distrainer, as those of a joint tenant, although found upon
the land, cannot be distrained. The goods of executors and administrators,
or of the assignee of an insolvent regularly discharged according to law,
cannot, in Pennsylvania, be distrained for more than one year's rent. The
goods of a former tenant, rightfully on the land, cannot be distrained for
another's rent. For example, a tenant at will, if quitting upon notice from
his landlord, is entitled to the emblements or growing crops; and therefore
even after they are reaped, if they remain on the land for the purpose of
husbandry, they cannot be distrained for rent due by the second tenant.
Willes, 131. And they are equally protected in the hands of a vendee. Ibid.
They cannot be distrained, although the purchaser allow them to remain uncut
an unreasonable time after the are ripe. 2 B. & B. 862; 5 Moore, 97, S. C.
21.-2. As every thing which is distrained is presumed to be the
property of the tenant, it will follow that things wherein no man can have
an absolute and valuable property, as cats, dogs, rabbits, and all animals
ferae naturae, cannot be distrained. Yet, if deer, which are of a wild
nature, are kept in a private enclosure, for the purpose of sale or profit,
this so far changes their nature by reducing them to a kind of stock or
merchandise, that they may be distrained for rent. 3 B1. Com. 7.
22.-3. Such things as cannot be restored to the owner in the same
plight as when they were taken, as milk, fruit, and the like, cannot be
distrained. 3 Bl. Com. 9.
23.-4. Things affixed or annexed to the freehold, as furnaces, windows,
doors, and the like, cannot be distrained, because they are not personal
chattels, but belong to the realty. Co. Litt. 47, b. And this rule extends.
to such things as are essentially a part of the freehold, although for a
time removed therefrom, as a millstone removed to be picked; for this is
matter of necessity, and it still remains in contemplation of law, a part of
the freehold. For the same reason an anvil fixed in a smith's shop cannot be
distrained. Bro. Abr. Distress, pl. 23; 4 T. R. 567; Willis, Rep. 512 6
Price's R. 3; 2 Chitty's R. 167.
24.-5. Goods are privileged in cases where the proprietor is either
compelled, from necessity to place his goods upon the land, or where be does
so for commercial purposes. 17 S. & R. 139; 7 W. & S. 302; 8 W. & S. 302; 4
Halst. 110; 1 Bay, 102, 170; 2 McCord, 39; 3 B. & B. 75; 6 J. B. Moore, 243;
1 Bing. 283; 8 J. B. Moore, 254; 2 C. & P. 353; 1 Cr. M. 380. In the first
case, the goods are exempt, because the owner has no option; hence the goods
of a traveller in an inn are exempt from distress. 7 H. 7, M. 1, p. 1.;
Hamm. N. 380, a.; 2 Keny. 439; Barnes, 472; 1 Bl. R. 483; 3 Burr. 1408. In
the other, the interests of the community require that commerce should be
encouraged, and adventurers will not engage in speculations, if the property
embarked is to be made liable for the payment of debts they never
contracted. Hence goods landed at a wharf, or deposited in a warehouse on
storage, cannot be distrained. 17 Serg. & Rawle, 138; 6 Whart. R. 9, 14; 9
Shepl. 47; 23 Wend. 462. Valuable things in the way of trade are not liable
to distress; as, a horse standing in a smith's shop to be shod, or in a
common inn; or cloth at a tailor's house to be made into a coat; or corn
sent to a mill to be ground, for these are privileged and protected for the
benefit of trade. 3 Bl. Com. 8. On the same principle it has been decided,
that the goods of a boarder are not liable to be distrained for rent due by
the keeper of a boarding house; 5 Whart. R. 9; unless used by the tenant
with the boarder's consent, and without that of the landlord: 1 Hill , 565.
25.-6. Goods taken in execution cannot be distrained. The law in some
states gives the landlord the right to claim payment out of the proceeds of
an execution for rent, not exceeding one year, and he is entitled to payment
up to the day of seizure, though it be in the middle of a quarter 2 Yeates,
274; 5 Binn. 505; but he is not entitled to the day of sale. 5 Binn. 505.
See 18 Johns. R. 1. The usual practice is, to give notice to the, sheriff
that there is a certain sum due to the landlord as arrears of rent; which
notice ought to be given to the sheriff, or person who takes the goods in
execution upon the premises for the sheriff is, not bound to find out
whether rent is due, nor is he liable to an action, unless there has been a
demand of rent before the removal. 1 Str. 97, 214; 3 Taunt. 400 2 Wils. 140;
Com. Dig. Rent, D 8; 11 Johns. R. 185. This notice can be given by the
immediate landlord only a ground landlord is not entitled to his rent out of
the goods of the under tenant taken in execution. 2 Str. 787. And where
there are two executions, the landlord is not entitled to a year's rent on
each. See Str. 1024. Goods distrained and replevied may be distrained by
another landlord for subsequent rent. 2 Dall. 68.
26.-7. By some special acts of the legislature it is provided that tools
of a man's trade, some designated household furniture, school books, and the
like, shall be exempted from distress, execution, or sale. And by a recent
Act of Assembly of Pennsylvania, April 9, 1849, property to the value of
three hundred dollars, exclusive of all wearing apparel of the defendant and
his family, and all bibles and school books in use in the family, are
exempted from levy and sale on execution, or by distress for rent.
27.-Secondly. Besides the above mentioned goods and chattels, which
are absolutely privileged from distress, there are others which are
conditionally so, but which may be distrained under certain circumstances.
These are, 1. Beasts of the plough, which are exempt if there be a
sufficient distress besides on the land whence the rent issues. Co. Litt.
47, a; Bac. Abr. Distress, B. 2. Implements of trade; as, a loom in actual
use; and there is a sufficient distress besides. 4 T. R. 565. 3. Other
things in actual use,; as, a horse whereon a person is riding, an axe in the
hands of. a person cutting wood, and the like. Co. Litt. 4 7, a.
28.-4. The time when a distress may be made. 1. The distress cannot be
made till the rent is due by the terms of the lease; as rent is not due
until the last minute of the natural day on which it is reserved, it follows
that a distress for rent cannot be made on that day. 1 Saund. 287; Co. Litt.
47, b. n. 6. A previous demand is not generally necessary, although there be
a clause in the lease, that the lessor may distrain for rent," being
lawfully demanded Bradb. 124; Bac. Abr. Rent, 1; the making of the distress
being a demand though it is advisable to make such a demand. But where a
lease provides for a special demand; as, if the clause were that if the rent
should happen to be behind it should be demanded at a particular place not
on the land; or be demanded of the person of the tenant; then such special
demand is necessary to support the distress. Plowd. 69 Bac. Abr. Rent, I.
29.-2 A distress for rent can only be made during the day time. Co.
Litt. 142, a.
30.-3. At common law a distress could not be made after the expiration
of the lease to remedy this evil the legislature of Pennsylvania passed an
act making it "lawful for any person having any rent in arrear or due upon
any lease for life or years or at will, ended or determined, to distrain for
such arrears after the determination of the said respective leases, in the
same manner as they might have done, if such lease had not been ended:
provided, that such distress be made during the continuance of such lessor's
title or interest.", Act of March 21, 1772, s. 14, 1 Smith's Laws of Penna.
375. 4. In the city and county of Philadelphia, the landlord may, under
certain circumstances, apportion his rent, and distrain before it becomes
due. See act of March 25, 1825, s. 1, Pamph. L. 114.
31.-5. In what place a distress may be made. The distress may be made
upon the land, or off the land. 1. Upon the land. A distress generally
follows the rent, and is consequently confined to the land out of which it
issues. If two pieces of land, therefore, are let by two separate demises,
although both be contained in one lease, a joint distress cannot be made for
them, for this would be to make the rent of one issue out of the other. Rep.
Temp. Hardw. 245; S. C. Str. 1040. But where lands lying in different
counties are let together by one demise, at one entire rent, and it does not
appear that the lands are separate from each other, one distress may be made
for the whole rent. Ld. Raym. 55; S. C. 12 Mod. 76. And, where rent is
charged upon land, which is afterwards held by several tenants, the grantee
or landlord may distrain for the whole upon the land of any of them; because
the whole rent is deemed to issue out of every part of the land. Roll. Abr.
671. If there be a house on the land, the distress may be made in the house;
if the outer door or window be open, a distress may be taken out of it.
Roll. Abr. 671. And if an outer door be open, an inner door may be broken
open for the purpose of taking a distress. Comb. 47; Cas. Temp. Hard. 168.
Barges on a river, attached to the leased premises (a wharf) by ropes,
cannot be distrained. 6 Bingh. 150; 19 Eng. Com. Law R. 36.
32.-2. Off the land. By the 5th and 6th sections of the Pennsylvania
act of assembly of March 21, 1772, copied from the 11 Geo. II. c. 19, it is
enacted, that if any tenant for life, years, at will, or otherwise, shall
fraudulently or clandestinely convey his goods off the premises to prevent
the landlord from distraining the same, such person, or any person by him
lawfully authorized, may, within thirty days after such conveyance, seize
the same, wherever they shall be found, and dispose of them in such manner
as if they had been distrained on the premises. Provided, that the landlord
shall not distrain any goods which shall have been previously sold, bona
fide, and for a valuable consideration, to one not privy to the fraud. To
bring a case within the act, the removal must take place after the rent
becomes due, and must be secret, not made in open day, for such removal
cannot be said to be clandestine within the meaning of the act. 3 Esp. N. P.
C. 15; 12 Serg. & Rawle, 217; 7 Bing. 422; 1 Moody & Malkin, 585. It has
however been made a question, whether goods are protected that were
fraudulently removed on the night before the rent had become due. 4 Camp.
135. The goods of a stranger cannot be pursued; they can be distrained only
while they are, on the premises. 1 Dall. 440.
33.-6. Of the manner of making a distress. 1. A distress for rent may
be made either by the person to whom it is due, or, which is the preferable
mode, by a constable, or bailiff, or other officer properly authorized by
him.
34.-2. If the distress be made by a constable, it is necessary that he
should be properly authorized to make it; for which purpose the landlord
should give him a written authority, or; as it is usually called, a warrant
of distress; but a subsequent assent and recognition given by the party for
whose use the distress has been made, is sufficient. Hamm. N. P. 382.
35.-3. When the constable is thus provided with the requisite
authority to make a distress, he, may distrain by seizing the tenant's
goods, or some of them in the name of the whole, and declaring that he takes
them as a distress for the sum expressed in the warrant to be due by the
tenant to the landlord, and that he takes them by virtue of the said
warrant; which warrant he ought, if required, to show. 1 Leon. 50.
36.-4. When making the distress it ought to be made for the whole
rent; but if goods cannot be found at the time, sufficient to satisfy the
rent, or the party mistake the value of the thing distrained, he may make a
second distress. Bradb. 129, 30; 2 Tr. & H. Pr. 155; supra 1.
37.-5. As soon as a distress is made, an inventory of the goods
distrained should be made, and a copy of it delivered to the tenant,
together with a notice of taking such distress, with the cause for taking
the same. This notice of taking a distress is not required by the statute to
be in writing; and, therefore, parol or verbal notice may be given either to
the tenant on the premises, or to the owner of the goods distrained. 12 Mod.
76. And although notice is directed by the act to specify the cause of
taking, it is not material whether it accurately state the period of the
rent's becoming due; Dougl. 279; or even whether the true cause of taking
the goods be expressed therein. 7 T. R. 654. If the notice be not personally
given, it should be left in writing at the tenant's house, or according to
the directions of the act, at the mansion-house or other most notorious
place on the premises charged with the rent distrained for.
38.-6. The distrainor may leave or impound the distress on the
premises for the five days mentioned in the act, but becomes a trespasser
after that time. 2 Dall. 69. As in many cases it is desirable for the sake
of the tenant that the goods should not be sold as soon as the law permits,
it is usual for him to sign an agreement or consent to their remaining on
the premises for a longer time, in the custody of the distrainor, or of a
person by him appointed for that purpose. While in his possession, the
distrainor cannot use or work cattle distrained, unless it be for the
owner's benefit, as to milk a cow, or the like. 5 Dane's Abr. 34.
39.-7. Before the goods are sold they must be appraised by two
reputable free-holders, who shall take an oath or affirmation to be
administered by the sheriff, under-sheriff, or coroner, in the words
mentioned in the act.
40.-8. The next requisite is to give six days public notice of the
time and place of sale of the things distrained; after which, if they have
not been replevied, they may be sold by the proper officer, who may apply
the proceeds to the payment and satisfaction of the rent, and the expenses
of the distress, appraisement and sale. The over-plus, if any, is to be paid
to the tenant.
41.-7. When a distress will be a waiver of a forfeiture of the lease.
On this subject, see 1 B. & Adol. 428. The right of distress, it seems, does
not exist in the New England states. 4 Dane's Ab. 126; 7 Pick. R. 105; 3
Griff. Reg 404; 4 Griff. Reg. 1143; Aik. Dig. 357, nor in Alabama,
Mississippi, North Carolina, nor Ohio; and in Kentucky, the right is limited
to a distress for a pecuniary rent. 1 Hill. Ab. 156. Vide, generally, Bouv.

From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :
DISTRESS, n. A disease incurred by exposure to the prosperity of a
friend.
JUDG 6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this
befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the
LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the
hands of the Midianites.
Gideon questioned God about the distress he and his nation faced and about God’s apparent
lack of help what he didn’t acknowledge was the fact that the people had brought calamity upon
themselves when they decided to disobey and neglect God. How easy it is to overlook personal
accountability and blame our problems. It brings us no closer to God and it escorts us to the
very edge of rebellion and backsliding. When distress come, the first place to look is within. Our
first action should be confession to God for sins that may have had a part in creating our
distress.
There is great distress and dismay, has come to the sons of men in our nation. “The living God
has allowed great tumult to emerge, a great outrage has come forth because men and women
in our nation have steadfastly refused the Lord and because they will not bow down, the living
God is ceasing the circumstance to become horrid, it will become awful. Tribes have rinsed
against tribes. There is great dismay and great distress upon the horizon. And it has come of
the hand of God for men and women in our nation have refused the living God but all of those
who will trust and believe in the Lord they shall not be ashamed. For God will keep His own in
perfect peace, Yeah the Lord will give His light upon the path way that they may go forth. For in
the time of great distress and dismay the living God shall bring forth His harvest. For when men
and women in this nation have had their lives as they want them and they are comfortable in the
same, they don’t cry
out, they don’t look out and they do not receive.
But when men and women are in distress and dismay, they are humbled down and they
become hungry for the words of life and it is the living God who is ceasing the upheaval and
many shall come forth. They will receive engrafted word of God’s redemptive grace with
gladness, they will be transformed and converted to Christ. For when men are comfortable,
when men have what they desire; when men have their desires fulfilled before them, they never
hunger and thirst for righteousness. But when men are stricken and smitten, then do they cry
out, then do they long and then shall they receive. The great dismay that our nation is
experiencing has been sent by the living God. Do not fear the fear of men in the days ahead,
but put your confidence in Jesus Christ. For indeed all of those who shall keep their vision single
to the Lord, the living God shall be able to keep the same. And the Lord shall lead and guide
them by His perfect peace. He shall direct their
steps, He shall instruct them in the way of righteousness.
Indeed it is the living God who does bring the goods times and the evil times likewise. And when
men are adamant against the Lord and they are arrogant in their conceits, it is the living God
who does bring the evil times upon the sons of men. For if men bow down to the Lord and give
thanks and praise, they would know God’s goodness of all of their days. But when they are
conceited and vile, it is the living God who does turn the evil days loose upon them that they will
be humbled. In this day of dismay and great distress many are losing their lives. They are not
being redeemed and they are simply perishing in their sins, for they will not repent, they are
being mowed down, they are being cast a sunder and smitten. Great evil has come to the sons
of men, and it is coming of the world the living God. 1sam 28:20 Soul was overwhelmed at the
sight of the philistine army. Instead of turning to God, however he turned to the occult. Let life’s
difficulties
and obstaecldesd push you in God’s direction and make you depend upon him. As we see from
soul’s story, turning to anything or anyone else leads only to disaster.
2cori; 8-10. Use often depend on our own skills and abilities when life seems easy but when we
fool powerless to help ourselves, use turn to God. Dependence is not defeat; but constant
contact. It is realizing that our source of truth and power is end and then keeping in touch with
Him. With this attitude, distress or problems drive us to God rather then away from Him. Learn
how to depend on God daily.
REV 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the
blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
REV 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of
you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
REV 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Everyone would like to feel good and live comfortably, but pain is part of life and is not easy to
suffer, no matter what the cause. Jesus commanded the church at Smyrna for their faith in the
most of suffering. He encouraged them that they deed not fear the future if they remained
faithful. In fact Smyrna and Philadelphia were the only churches along the seven to receive
completely positive messages. If you are experiencing difficult times don’t let them turn you
away from God. Instead let them draw you toward greater faithfulness. Trust Him and remember
especially near to those who suffer for Him.
Those who will keep their hope and confidence in the Lord, they will be kept for His hand shall
be over them. The living God is calling forth His laborers to the harvest even from the ends of
the earth. And many will rise up in this generation, they shall rise up to do service to the Living
God, they shall be obedient people. For when men have a multitude of choices before them,
when have a multitude of luxuries before them, they will not be pressed into service for God’s
kingdom. But when all is dismay and distress and anguish and sorrow many shall come forth
and trouped up as soldiers. They shall go into the fields of harvest. They will declare Christ as
He is for the Living God will give His spirit words of life to them. They will go forth they will be
under God’s anointing they will be under His power; they shall see many miracles because the
Living God shall do the same. And it shall be triumphant day for those who will walk in the spirit
of the
Living God and declare His truth. For those who will desire the Lord, they shall see His
blessedness over them. And in the midst of tribulation and turmoil, they shall rejoice be glad,
give thanks for they shall see God’s keeping hand.
In the days that are coming many shall beat their heads in great sorrow they shall smite even
their own chests. They shall scream and cry out. But if they do not cry out to the Living God,
they shall perish nonetheless. For indeed it is God’s time that He is bringing the distress upon
the sons of men. For when men are so arrogant as to imagine that they are their own, to
imagine that they may do horrid things in God’s sight, to imagine all the day long that they may
commit evil and iniquity and it does not trouble the living God, they are blinded fools. For indeed
the living God does not desire that it is people would be blinded fools, but he desires that a
remnant would come forth, calling upon His holy name. When it is time for God’s harvest, He
knows the forces that must be put into play to cause men to bow down. For indeed within men’s
hearts there is great iniquity, there is great rebellion against the living God, there is great
vileness and
corruption and because of that the living God must strip them of their finery, He must strips
them of their vanity to let them see their attar naked state before the living God. God must bow
them down through tribulation, through sorrow, through suffering, through dismay and distress.
When you would see this evil days come upon the wicked, do not fret yourself but rather no that
it is the hand of God and that living God is bringing forth what He has deemed for this time, for
truly it shall be great unrest, great turmoil, great tribulation. But many during these
hours and days will cry out, who else wise would have never sought God’s face. There fore do
not criticize God’s workings, but cooperate with Him and know that He is sovereign. And thank
and praise God for He is sovereignty upon the son of men. For it is better that men would suffer
in this present life and bow down and cry out to the living God then that they would have their
great estates and been well furbished in things of this world and perish in their sins. There fore
know that ultimately it is God’s mercy. For if the living God do not execute His judgement upon
the sons of men. They shall all perish in their iniquities and their sins.
NUM 33:50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho,
saying,
NUM 33:51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over
Jordan into the land of Canaan;
NUM 33:52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and
destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high
places:
NUM 33:53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have
given you the land to possess it.
NUM 33:54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to
the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance:
every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your
fathers ye shall inherit.
NUM 33:55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall
come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in
your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
NUM 33:56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto
them.
God told Moses that before the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, they were drive out the
wicked people and destroys their idols. In Colossians chapter 3, Paul and encourages us to live
the Christian life in the same manner. We are to throw away our old way of living and move a
head into our new life of obedience to God and faith in Jesus Christ. Like Israelites moving into
the Promised Land, we can destroy the wickedness in lives or can settle down and live with it.
To move in and possess the new life, we must drive out the sinful habits that would keep us
from entering.
Why were the Israelites told to destroy the people living in Canaan? Was not this unjust? No,
because it was God’s command. The Israelites were to obey the command as a sign of loyalty
to God, the commander-in-chief of all armies
God was stamping out the wickedness of an extremely sinful nation. The Canaanites brought on
their on punishment Idol worship was the out ward practice of their deepest evil desires, for it
ultimately led to the worship of Satan and total rejection of God.
God was using Moses and Israel to judge Canaan for its sins as fulfillment of the prophesy in
Genesis 9:24-25.
God wanted to remove all trace of pagan beliefs and practices from the land. He did not want
His people to mix or compromise with idolatry in any way. We are to obey God’s word without
questions because we know it is just, even if we cannot fully understand His overall purposes.
If you don’t do the job right the first time, it often comes back to haunt you. God promised that if
the Israelites did not drive the wicked inhabitants out of the Promised Land, they would become
a source of great irritation later on. That is exactly what happened. Just as the Israelites were
hesitant to clear out all the wicked people, we are sometimes hesitant to clear out all the sin our
lives, either because we are afraid of it has the Israelites feared the “giants” or because it seems
harmless and attractive (as sexual sin seemed to the Israelites) but Hebrews 12:1-2 fells us to
throw off those sins that wrap themselves tightly around our feet and trip us up. We all have an
“idol” we don’t want to let go of (a bad habit an unhealthy relationship, a certain lifestyle). If we
allow those idols to remain in our lives, they will cause serious problems later on.
God never goes back on a promise and this is one promise the Israelites should not have taken
lightly. God made His message perfectly clear. Drive the wicked people out of the Promised
Land -every one of them. If you do not you will become as wicked as they are, and I will have to
destroy you too. For some reason the people did not take God seriously. The Israelites didn’t
drive all the wicked nations out, and soon they began to assimilate their religious beliefs and
practices. After a while, on Israelites was no different from Canaanites. God fulfilled His warning
in these verses during the period of the judges, and in a fuller sense during the times of the
kings when He sent the Babylonian 2 king 25 and the Assyrians 2 kings 17 to destroy Israel and
carry the people away of captives. The Israelites learned that God’s word should not be taken
lightly.
Truly left to their own accord, men will not bow down. Therefore even evil times are brought by
the Living God to cause them to humble themselves before Him. They are many blessed in the
flesh, but they are stupid. For while those things are God’s blessings, if men do not repent that
their hearts only grow harder and more full of iniquity, those are not blessings at all, but they are
cursing. When the Living God send great pressure upon the sons of men, and the pressure
causes them to bow down, to repent and to cry out of Christ indeed ultimately that is God’s
blessedness.
Therefore those of us, who know the living God, let us draw night to Him. That is come closer
come into Him and He will direct us. And He will guide us, He will keep us, we need not fear
with the fear of men. For while men are in anguish and sorrow and suffering, we may rejoice,
not because of their troubles, but because the Living God reigns triumphant and He shall use
their troubles to bring them down. That they may cry out and be redeemed, for it is a wondrous
thing for a menfor a man to be redeemed. And when men have chosen iniquity and vileness,
wickedness and corruption, they need a great tribulation to bring them to repentance, therefore,
those of us who love the Lord, let us not accuse God. But thank and praise God and accept and
recognize His sovereignty. For indeed the men and women who can come to Christ in
prosperity and in abundance are few and far between. But the ones who shall come to Christ in
poverty and in pain and sorrow are plenty.
Therefore when you see these things come, rejoice, be glad, give thanks. Do not murmur nor
dispute against the Lord, do not argue against Gods sovereignty, but rejoice, be glad, give
thanks.
For men are greatly evil in this generation in this nation, they are resistant to the Holy spirit of
God, they are adamant against God goodness and blessedness. Therefore the living is turning
His hand against them and He His bringing them down. When you see such conditions, when
you the sons of men in state, do not have false compassion upon them. For if they had waxen
so bold their iniquities and wickedness and sins, the living God would not use the fist against
them. But because they will not repent, they will not bow, they not turn to Christ, God has turned
His hand against them. And great shall be their cries, great shall be their against, but like wise,
great shall be His harvest
All of us who love the lord’s appearing. He will appear in this time. And He will reveal His
glory, He will reveal His power, men shall cry out and scream to be delivered from their sinful
states. It shall be a of rejoice and the giving the giving of thanks for all align yourself with the
living God, align yourself with God purpose, and His plans. Murmur not, neither complain when
you see the times coming upon the earth, when you see the sons of men bowed down, when
you see the distress and dismay of nation. For indeed the living God bringing thebringing the
upheaval, He is bringing the uproar and the dismay. And He is doing that men will be stripped of
their vanity, of their foolishness, of their vexation and that they will any out. Pray, pray, repeat
pray that the laborers be raised up to be sauté forth to the harvest. For indeed it is God’s time
and the day shall be a day of rejoicing for those who love Christ. It shall be a day of
great and plenteous harvest, REJOICE.

absolutely final, as a capias ad satisfaciendum, by virtue of which the body

when allowed running its course, evil destroys itself. Violent people become victims of violence
and liars are victims of the deceit of others. But in the process, innocent people are hurt.
Sometimes God intervenes and stops evil doers in their tracks in order to protect His followers.
At other times, for reasons known only to Him, God allows evil to continue even though innocent
people may be hurt. It is during these times that we like David must ask God to protect us.
Remember that God will execute final justice even if it is not during our earthly lives (PS 7:14
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
PS 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
PS 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down
upon his own pate.
). If Gods People in our nation would know the victory of His way. For indeed Gods way is
victorious, Gods way is victorious, Gods way is conquering and prevailing and He desires that
His people would walk in His way. But because Gods people in our nation do not seek Him they
know that is because of their own stubbornness, their own foolishness their own arrogance
before
the living God. But truly Whensoever Gods people shall bow TO God that He shall give victory
to His people. We are moving into times of great darkness we are moving into times of great
distress. For indeed the living God is bringing times of great dismay of nations upon the earth. It
shall not be the work of carnal men, but it shall be the work of Gods spirit for God has had
enough of the rebellion, of the inequity and of the sins of men. For when God is fed up has not
He the living God the right to clean His own earth, does not he the living God have the right to
purge that which is inequity in His sight? Men have grown as arrogant and conceited in their
imagination as to their own importance. But men are as nothing more than blades of grass, they
grow up, they wither they die and they are blown to the wind. So it is with humans who will not
come to Christ who will not accept Gods covenant, who will not come into the promise. They
grow up, they are as
grass, they bloom, they blossom, they come forth but then they wither and die, they are no
more.
In this generation the living God shall send forth His spirit and men shall be mown down as
grass. And they shall be gathered, they shall be thrown aside, they shall be put into the wind,
and they shall be remembered no more. For indeed because the living God has had enough of
the sins of men many men shall be destroyed. And the great distress that shall come upon
nations no man shall be able to stop it for it does not originate with men but the living God has
had enough of the iniquities of humanity. He brings His execution hard and many shall fall upon
nations, men shall quake and tremble for fear. All who will look for Christ they shall find Him. But
when men have had Christ and had Christ and they have cast him aside, they shall look and
look and look and they will not come to them. For the living God shall have His vengeance upon
the arrogance, he shall have his vengeance upon those who are full of wickedness and iniquity.
For truly this is the day,
this is the time, this is the hour, and generation the living God shall manifest His power. He
shall show that He is the omnipresent and the true God.
Thank God that you are privileged to come into His light, come unto His glory and to come into
the power of His presence for indeed those who will desire Christ He will be high to them. But
those who have waxen bold in their iniquities they shall perish in the same. For it is the living
God who shall bring the purifying fire, it is the living God who shall bring the distress and the
calamity when men will refuse and refuse and refuse to the darkness. He shall turn them over to
the dismay and they shall likewise be destroyed. For indeed the living God only pleads for times
and seasons with the sons of men. When they refuse His pleading, when they refuse His light,
when they refuse His glory, then it is the living God who turns them over. And when God has
turned them over, no man may pluck them out of the herd of destruction for they shall be
destroyed. It is the time that the living God returns the fear of Himself the sons of men. And He
shall bring that
fear through the eruption of great calamity, through destruction. For indeed when men are
pleasantly appeased in their own estates they have no fear of the living God and they think
things will be fair and well pleasing forever. They walk in arrogancy and conceit and they do not
hearken to the living God. And time has grown and grown and grown, the sons of men are very
conceited in their rage against the living God; the living God shall turn His wrath upon them. For
men were not created that God would fear them, but men were created that God would fear
God. When the balance is off and men have gone off kilter and they have gone according to
their arrogancy and their conceit, and they are proud and haughty and high minded, the living
God must bring them down.
PS 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. The
world may ignore the plight of the needy. Crushing any earthly hope they may have. But God,
the champion of the weak and needy, promises that this will not be the case forever. The wicked
nations who forget the Lord and refuse to help their people will be judged by God. He knows our
needs. He knows our tendency to despair and He has given us the promise that He Himself will
care for us {PS 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble.
,PS 9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry
of the humble.
,
PS 9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish
for ever.) Even when others forget us, He will remember Psalms.
Many shall be destroyed in this generation for they have waxen bold in iniquity, they have
waxen bold in sinfulness and wretchedness and because the living God must cause them to be
reduced. God must bring them down to what they are and that is nothing. For indeed when men
are full of their own importance, fall of their own worth, full of their own vain, deceit, they will
treat God haughtily all the day long. And there are many that God has plea with and desisted to
bring forth but they have walked on God. Therefore the time has come that the living God does
withdraw Himself from them and in the great dismay of nations they shall tremble and fear, they
shall cry out but God will not hear them. For the living God does not plead with the sons of men
forever but when they have been abusive towards God long enough He brings for His judgment
hand. Men have flouted their sins in Gods sight long enough, they have said that God is
obligated to accept their
varieties and vexations. But the living God is not obligated to men, No not all. And because
men are foolish, because they live in Deception because they prefer their own way to Gods
way, He shall turn aside from them. And when the dismay shall hit though they tremble, though
they cry, though they moan, God will not hear them at all. In the days ahead many men shall be
destroyed and they shall likewise be damned. It is the living God who is bringing about the
cleansing upon the earth for there are many men who are not worthy to love. No men is
arranging it but it is being brought of the living God and no men shall be able to stop it. The
governments of men shall not stop God for when the living God does say it is time, it is time.
And indeed there is great destruction there is dismay, there is great devastation coming to the
sons of men.
But likewise those who will cry out to God, out of sincerity, out of truth out of desire for Christ,
they will be brought forth. For the living God will not neglect those who will confess their
neediness of the living God and who will walk uprightly. But indeed the ones who have chosen
another way, the ones who have chosen their own way, the ones who have loved their own sins
more than they have loved God, they shall be destroyed. During this time of devastation and
destruction the living God will likewise raise up messengers. They will declare the Lord as He is,
and there will be ungodly men, who have never heard Christ’s name, and they will repent and
God will redeem them. It shall be a time of the outpouring of Gods mercy, at the same time it is
the outpouring of Gods wrath. The ones who will tremble before the Lord, because they have
not known Him, but yet they will believe, yet they will be repentant and sorry for their abundance
of mercy for
them. For while the living God will judge those who have abused what He has given to them
and those who have been wantonly sinful and have no repentance within while God shall judge
them with His wrath and with His fury, likewise. He will extend mercy to those who will cry out in
sincere repentance who will cry out in the fear and trembling of God who will cry out in the times
of great devastation. The lord is the merciful God and when you see those who are slain, know
that they refused God, know that they did not desire the living God know that they loved iniquity
more than the living God.
GEN 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and
because their sin is very grievous;
GEN 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry
of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
GEN 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham
stood yet before the LORD.
GEN 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the
wicked? Why did God let Abraham question His justice and intercede for a wicked city?
Abraham knew God must punish sin, but he also knew from experience that God is merciful to
sinners. God knew there were no ten righteous people in the city, but He was merciful enough
to allow Abraham to intercede. He was also merciful enough to help Lot, Abraham’s nephew,
get out of Sodom before it was destroyed. God does not take pleasure in destroying the wicked
but He must punish sin. He is both just and merciful. We must be thankful that God’s mercy
extends to us.
2CHRON 16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto
him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God,
therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
2CHRON 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots
and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
2CHRON 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show
himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done
foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
2CHRON 16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in
a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
Judea and Israel never learned! Although God had delivered them even when they were
outnumbered (Chron 13:3, 14:9), they repeatedly sought help from heathen nations rather than
from God. That Asa sought help from Syria was evidence of an inward spiritual decline. With
help from God alone Asa had defeated Egypt in open battle. But his confidence in God had
slipped and now he sought only human solution to his problem. When confronted by the prophet
Hanani Asa throw him in jail, revealing the true condition of his heart. It is not sin to use human
means to solve our problems, but it is sin to trust them more than God; to think they are better
than Gods ways or to leave God completely out of the problem solving process JER 5:1 Run ye
to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be
any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Indeed the living God is the God of mercy and whosesoever men will repent of their wicked
ways, He will give them mercy. He will give them His loving kindness, and He will give them His
loving kindness and He will give them His guiding hand. Because of the terrible things that are
coming upon the sons of men there will be many who will repent who would not otherwise
repent. Is not this Gods mercy? Is not this Gods goodness? Would you prefer that God allowed
all men to perish in their sins? Hold no accusation in your heart against God for the times that
are befalling the sons of men for there is going to be great, great unlimited distress among the
nations. And all of the crafty inventions of men shall not relieve that distress for it does not come
of any men or any men’s accord of us who love the Lord, let us desire Him, and let us desire His
will to be done. For indeed when we will look to Christ He will hear us, when we will seek His
way, He will
guide us and He will even use us in the harvest that is at hand.
Indeed those who will love the Lord, they will love His appearing, even in His wrath and in His
fury. For they shall know God in His mercy and in His loving kindness to them. They shall see
God’s guiding hand. Do not be overwhelmed with fear, but walk in the fear of the Living God and
He will keep you. For indeed what shall come, it is of the Living God. And though men may try to
figure it out, they shall not be able to, for it shall not be attributable to the acts of men. They are
things that are far beyond men and what the Living God is bringing upon the earth is far beyond
the scope and the realm of power of humankind.
Those of us who are God’s servants, let us serve the Lord with diligence, let us serve Him
steadfastly, let us serve the Lord with obedience. For indeed the Living God shall keep all of
those who will look to God. But the ones who are like Lot’s wife, the ones who look back, the
ones who look with accusation against God, the ones who look with discord towards God’s will,
they shall likewise be destroyed. The ones who will be kept are the ones who will be in the ark
of safety. The ones who will be destroyed are the multitudes, the untold thousands, who are
upon the sea of iniquity and love it so. All of those who will repent and genuinely love the Lord
and desire Him, He will receive them. The ones who will shake their finger in rage and disgust
towards God they are already destroyed by their attitudes. Keep yourself in the attitude of
gratitude towards the Living God. Despite the times, be giving God thanks, be giving God praise
and He shall keep
you.AMEN

PEACE. The tranquillity enjoyed by a political society, internally, by the
good order which reigns among its members, and externally, by the good
understanding it has with all other nations. Applied to the internal
regulations of a nation, peace imports, in a technical sense, not merely a
state of repose and security, as opposed to one of violence and warfare, but
likewise a state of public order and decorum. Ham. N. P. 139; 12 Mod. 566.

From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :
PEACE, n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two
periods of fighting.
O, what's the loud uproar assailing
Mine ears without cease?
'Tis the voice of the hopeful, all-hailing
The horrors of peace.
Ah, Peace Universal; they woo it -Would marry it, too.
If only they knew how to do it
'Twere easy to do.
They're working by night and by day
On their problem, like moles.
Have mercy, O Heaven, I pray,
On their meddlesome souls!
Ro Amil
JER 6:10 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.
JER 6:11 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.
JER 6:12 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.
JER 6:13 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.
JER 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace,
peace; when there is no peace.
JER 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that
I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
JER 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where
is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not
walk therein.
JER 6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they
said, We will not hearken. The people became angry and wanted no part of God’s commands.
Living for God did not appear very exciting. As in Jeremiah’s day, people today dislike God’s
demand for disciplined living. As unsettling as people’s God’s word. Our responsibility is to
present God’s word- their responsibility is to accept it. We must not let what people want to hear
set the standard for what we say, “ignore it and may be it will go away” sound familiar? This was
Israel’s response to Jeremiahs warning. But denying the truth never changes it, what God says
always happens. Sin is never removed by denying its existence. We must confess to God that
we have sinned and ask Him to forgive us.
Jer 8:8-13JER 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo,
certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
JER 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the
word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
JER 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit
them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the
prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
JER 8:11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace,
peace; when there is no peace.
JER 8:12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all
ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of
their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
JER 8:13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor
figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass
away from them. The prophets and priests were giving “useless medicine”, false assurances
rather the correction. How can we correct a fault or turn from a sin if our leaders tell us all is
well? Beware of people who are always agreeable. At best, they give you no help; at worst they
may be drying to manipulate you.Ezek13:8-15.EZEK 13:8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the
Lord GOD.
EZEK 13:9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they
shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the
house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the
Lord GOD.
EZEK 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there
was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
EZEK 13:11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be
an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
EZEK 13:12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing
wherewith ye have daubed it?
EZEK 13:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury;
and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to
consume it.
EZEK 13:14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and
bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall,
and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
EZEK 13:15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it
with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
In this hour men are looking for peace. But they shall not find peace for they are not looking for
the living God. And when men imagine that they may conjure peace through this means, that
means or another means, all of their effects shall fail for truly unless men are at peace with God
they shall know no peace upon this earth. For wars and rumors of wars shall be the constancy
of operation, for when men refuse to turn to God, they will find no peace with their following.
Truly we are living in disturbing times, we are living in times when men’s hearts are hard and
they are far from God. Did because they love it so, they shall not find the peace that they seek
for. There are many means, many methods which men try to bring about peace. Bed their
peace is not resting, their peace is not true, their peace is not the peace that comes of Living
God, for they follow after a dream, they follow after a fantasy they after vanity. For in deed
although a men
could live long upon the earth and not necessarily fight with his neighbor, if the men was not
right with God, he would and in an eternity of torment. For there is only one peace that shall
remain and that is God’s peace. And when men chase after their fantasies, their dreams, their
delusions and their illusions, they chase the wind. Truly many who are trooping about declaring
that they want peace, they are at disturbance all of their lives.
For they do not find their peace with God, they do not seek for Christ, nor seek for the refuge
that is found in Him. Because of that their own lives are fraught with disturbances, they are
fraught disagreements, and they are in manner of evil and wickedness. And yet they put up the
placards, they put up their signs, they put up their symbols, and they say they want peace. But
they are liars and hypocrites, they are pretender and mockers. For it is the living God who offers
His peace and they steadfastly refuse. And they steadfastly refuse because their deeds are evil,
their deeds are wickedness, their deeds are corruption. The peace that they think they want is
the peace to continue in their illicit activities. But the living God does not put His sanction upon
them, and all of their political activity to secure the peace that they supposedly want is in vain.
For men shall continually be in wars and rumors of wars for men aside from God can find no
peace. Whensoever men will pursue the pursuits of the flesh, when they shall follow the trail of
carnality, unrest shall follow them all of their days. Jealousy, envy, division and strife are the lot
of men, and when men reject God, they cannot come up any higher. They are many who think
they come to peace through the intellect but they are likewise fools. For no man shall enter into
the internal kingdom through His intellect, and when they think that they have established their
peace there shall always be something that is in disagreement with that. Their peace is very
fragile for it must be kept in circumstances where they have the full control. That is not peace at
all. It is merely delusion and illusion. For the only true and lasting peace comes when men get
themselves right with God and there remain. For all of men’s offers of peace are false and
transitory.
IS 59:1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,
that it cannot hear:
IS 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid
his face from you, that he will not hear.
IS 59:3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have
spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
IS 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
IS 59:5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs
dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
IS 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their
works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
IS 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are
thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
IS 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have
made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
IS 59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but
behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
IS 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at
noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
IS 59:11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is
none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
IS 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for
our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
Sins offends our holy God. Because God is holy, He cannot ignore excuse or tolerate sin as
though it didn’t matter. Sin cuts people off from Him, forming a wall to isolate God from the
people He loves. No wonder this long list of wretched sins makes God angry and forces Him to
look the other way. People who die with their sin unforgiving separate them selves eternally
from God. God wants them to live with Him forever, but He cannot take them into His holy
presence unless their sin is removed. Wouldn’t you be angry to see people you love cut
themselves off from you and condemn themselves to eternal separation from you?
ROM 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
ROM 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
ROM 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
ROM 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their lips:
ROM 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
ROM 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
ROM 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
ROM 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
ROM 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Paul uses these Old Testament references to show that humanly in general, in its present sinful
condition, is unacceptable before God. Have ever though to yourself, “well, I’m not too bad. I’m
a pretty good poison”? Look at these verses and see if any of them apply to you. Have you ever
lied? Have you ever hurt someone’s feelings by your words or tune or voice? Are you bitter
towards anyone? Do you become angry with those who strongly disagree with you? In though,
word and deed you like everyone else in the world, stand guilty before God. We must remember
who we are in His sight-alienated sinners. Don’t deny that you are sinner. Instead, allow that
knowledge to point you towards Christ.
When men cry out to God Through repentance and God redeem them from the wretched
punishment of their own sins, and bring them into His fold, then they are given the opportunities
to find God’s peace. For the peace that God gives is not as the world gives, but His peace is
resting, God’s peace is enduring and strong. Do not look for me to give you peace for they
cannot. And when you would see men parading themselves about declaring that they want
peace, know that they want their own way. For want they call peace is that they are given their
own way to do their own sins, and not be condemned nor be judged, nor be fought while they do
those sins. What kind of peace is that? It is no peace at all, but it a passive declaration that they
are desire is for the continuance of sin. For many who promote peace in the world sense are
avid sinners , that is they go after a sin from morning until night and even through the night ,yet
they say they want peace .what
liars and mockers they are , for their days are nights are spent in the pursuit of their own lusts.
They are not spent in making peace within themselves, peace with God, and peace with their
follow man, but they spent themselves in the pursuit of their lusts, then they declare and declare
and declare that they want peace. No, all they really want their sin with no condemnation
against them. But as long as God’s spirit remains in the earth, man shall not find peace in a
earthly sense.
God’s spirit will always reprove men of their sins, and they will not find their sanctuaries of
filthiness that they desire. The spirit of God is at war against the forces of evil against the forces
iniquity that destroy men’s souls. And the Living God will put forth the standard again and again
and again. And when men think that they have things placated and they have things the way
that they want them, God’s will send His spirit of conviction and disturb their peace. For their
peace is falsity, it is vanity, stupidity and blindness. For if a man continues in his sins, continues
in his iniquities, and continues in his corruption, he in no way knows peace. For though he is un
bothered in those sins and though he is unbothered in his iniquities, within he knows that he is
wicked. And the judgment of the wicked is harsh and it is cruel and it is destructive, for that is
the way they behave. And men are given back what they do and they know no peace.
Do not follow the vain messengers proclaiming peace, for they cannot give you true peace. But
they will give you a lie, they will give you a tale, they will give you a story, but they will not give
you the peace that does remain. For there is only one way for there to be lasting peace and that
is when and women lay their lives before the Christ the son of the Living God. That is when
men and women give themselves over and yield themselves to Jesus Christ that He may
triumph over their carnality. For indeed, they is no peace in the carnal men, for within the carnal
men there is war raging continually. And because the aim of carnality is jealousy, envy, division
strife and murder, what else can the carnal man do?
1TIM 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1TIM 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
False teachers were and still are a threat to the church. Jesus and the apostles repeatedly
warned against them (MK 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo,
he is there; believe him not:
MK 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to
seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
MK 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.,ACTS 20:28 Take heed
therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you
overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
ACTS 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you,
not sparing the flock.
ACTS 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away
disciples after them.
ACTS 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to
warn every one night and day with tears.,2THESS 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2THESS 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2THESS 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2THESS 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2THESS 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2THESS 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2THESS 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way.
2THESS 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the
spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2THESS 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders,
2THESS 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2THESS 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie:
2THESS 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.,
2PET 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their
own lusts,
2PET 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2PET 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2PET 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2PET 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.) The dangers
Timothy faced in Ephesus seems to have come from certain people in the church who followed
Greeks Philosophers who held that the body is evil and that only the soul matters. They refused
to believe that the God of creation was good, because His very contact with physical world will
suit Him. Though these Greeks influenced church members honored Jesus, they could not
believe he was truly human. Their teachings if left unchecked, would greatly distort Christian
truth.
It is not enough that a teacher appears to know what he is talking about, is disciplined and moral
and say he is speaking for God. If his word contradict biblical teaching, his teaching is false.
Paul was warning Timothy not only of this specific problem, but of any teachings that causes us
dilute or reject parts of our faith. Such false teaching can be very direct or extremely subtle. (Jer
50:6-10,2Tim 3:1-13)
There is way that seems right to men, but that way is destruction. And while the men of this
world expend themselves following after vanity vexation, seeking for falsity and stupidity,
blindness and delusion they expend themselves in vain. For there is no way that a man may
pursue other than God’s way that will him peace. And when men say they have found peace or
they shall bring peace, or they desire peace, why don’t they want Jesus Christ Prince of peace
for he is the only way that men shall find peace and find rest to their weary souls. And when
pursue all of the other lies, they flip and flop as fish on a hook but they find nothing. For they
shall not find the truth in the waters of deceit, but they shall only go from lie to lie, to more lies.
And in the end they shall receive the reward of the foolish, they shall receive the reward of liars,
they shall be damned. Do not hearken to those lying messengers proclaiming that they have
found peace,
proclaiming that they are bringing peace, proclaiming that they will give peace. For there is no
other way that a man may find peace except in Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God
Therefore those of us, who desire peace, come into Christ and His peace He will give to you.
For a side from Christ, there is no peace that remains. The peace of men is based upon lies, but
God’s peace is truth. God’s truth will give to those who ask of him. Thank God that he is truth
that he is the peace, and that he is able to be given to the sons of men. AMEN.

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
EXECUTION, contracts. The accomplishment of a thing; as the execution of a
bond and warrant of attorney, which is the signing, sealing, and delivery of
the same.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
EXECUTION, crim. law. The putting a convict to death, agreeably to law, in
pursuance of his sentence.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :
EXECUTION, practice. The act of carrying into effect the final judgment of a
court, or other jurisdiction. The writ which authorizes the officer so to
carry into effect such judgment is also called an execution.
2. A distinction has been made between an execution which is used to
make the money due on a judgment out of the property of the defendant, and
which is called a final execution; and one which tends to an end but is not
absolutely final, as a capias ad satisfaciendum, by virtue of which the body
of the defendant is taken, to the intent that the plaintiff shall be
satisfied his debt, &c., the imprisonment not being absolute, but until he
shall satisfy the same; this is called an execution quousque. 6 Co. 87.
3. Executions are either to recover specific things, or money. 1. Of
the first class are the writs of habere facias seisinam.; (q.v.) habere
facias possessionem; (q.v.) retorno habendo; (q.v.) distringas. (q.v.) 2.
Executions for the recovery of money are those which issue against the body
of the defendant, as the capias ad satisfaciendum, (q.v.); an attachment,
(q.v.); those which issue against his goods and chattels; namely, the fieri
facias, (q.v.); the, venditioni exponas, (q.v.); those which issue against
his lands, the levari facias; (q.v.) the liberari facias; the elegit. (q.v.)

PS 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their
own foot taken.
PS 9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the
work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
when allowed running its course, evil destroys itself. Violent people become victims of violence
and liars are victims of the deceit of others. But in the process, innocent people are hurt.
Sometimes God intervenes and stops evil doers in their tracks in order to protect His followers.
At other times, for reasons known only to Him, God allows evil to continue even though innocent
people may be hurt. It is during these times that we like David must ask God to protect us.
Remember that God will execute final justice even if it is not during our earthly lives (PS 7:14
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
PS 7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
PS 7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down
upon his own pate.
). If Gods People in our nation would know the victory of His way. For indeed Gods way is
victorious, Gods way is victorious, Gods way is conquering and prevailing and He desires that
His people would walk in His way. But because Gods people in our nation do not seek Him they
know that is because of their own stubbornness, their own foolishness their own arrogance
before
the living God. But truly Whensoever Gods people shall bow TO God that He shall give victory
to His people. We are moving into times of great darkness we are moving into times of great
distress. For indeed the living God is bringing times of great dismay of nations upon the earth. It
shall not be the work of carnal men, but it shall be the work of Gods spirit for God has had
enough of the rebellion, of the inequity and of the sins of men. For when God is fed up has not
He the living God the right to clean His own earth, does not he the living God have the right to
purge that which is inequity in His sight? Men have grown as arrogant and conceited in their
imagination as to their own importance. But men are as nothing more than blades of grass, they
grow up, they wither they die and they are blown to the wind. So it is with humans who will not
come to Christ who will not accept Gods covenant, who will not come into the promise. They
grow up, they are as
grass, they bloom, they blossom, they come forth but then they wither and die, they are no
more.
In this generation the living God shall send forth His spirit and men shall be mown down as
grass. And they shall be gathered, they shall be thrown aside, they shall be put into the wind,
and they shall be remembered no more. For indeed because the living God has had enough of
the sins of men many men shall be destroyed. And the great distress that shall come upon
nations no man shall be able to stop it for it does not originate with men but the living God has
had enough of the iniquities of humanity. He brings His execution hard and many shall fall upon
nations, men shall quake and tremble for fear. All who will look for Christ they shall find Him. But
when men have had Christ and had Christ and they have cast him aside, they shall look and
look and look and they will not come to them. For the living God shall have His vengeance upon
the arrogance, he shall have his vengeance upon those who are full of wickedness and iniquity.
For truly this is the day,
this is the time, this is the hour, and generation the living God shall manifest His power. He
shall show that He is the omnipresent and the true God.
Thank God that you are privileged to come into His light, come unto His glory and to come into
the power of His presence for indeed those who will desire Christ He will be high to them. But
those who have waxen bold in their iniquities they shall perish in the same. For it is the living
God who shall bring the purifying fire, it is the living God who shall bring the distress and the
calamity when men will refuse and refuse and refuse to the darkness. He shall turn them over to
the dismay and they shall likewise be destroyed. For indeed the living God only pleads for times
and seasons with the sons of men. When they refuse His pleading, when they refuse His light,
when they refuse His glory, then it is the living God who turns them over. And when God has
turned them over, no man may pluck them out of the herd of destruction for they shall be
destroyed. It is the time that the living God returns the fear of Himself the sons of men. And He
shall bring that
fear through the eruption of great calamity, through destruction. For indeed when men are
pleasantly appeased in their own estates they have no fear of the living God and they think
things will be fair and well pleasing forever. They walk in arrogancy and conceit and they do not
hearken to the living God. And time has grown and grown and grown, the sons of men are very
conceited in their rage against the living God; the living God shall turn His wrath upon them. For
men were not created that God would fear them, but men were created that God would fear
God. When the balance is off and men have gone off kilter and they have gone according to
their arrogancy and their conceit, and they are proud and haughty and high minded, the living
God must bring them down.
PS 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. The
world may ignore the plight of the needy. Crushing any earthly hope they may have. But God,
the champion of the weak and needy, promises that this will not be the case forever. The wicked
nations who forget the Lord and refuse to help their people will be judged by God. He knows our
needs. He knows our tendency to despair and He has given us the promise that He Himself will
care for us {PS 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble.
,PS 9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry
of the humble.
,
PS 9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish
for ever.) Even when others forget us, He will remember Psalms.
Many shall be destroyed in this generation for they have waxen bold in iniquity, they have
waxen bold in sinfulness and wretchedness and because the living God must cause them to be
reduced. God must bring them down to what they are and that is nothing. For indeed when men
are full of their own importance, fall of their own worth, full of their own vain, deceit, they will
treat God haughtily all the day long. And there are many that God has plea with and desisted to
bring forth but they have walked on God. Therefore the time has come that the living God does
withdraw Himself from them and in the great dismay of nations they shall tremble and fear, they
shall cry out but God will not hear them. For the living God does not plead with the sons of men
forever but when they have been abusive towards God long enough He brings for His judgment
hand. Men have flouted their sins in Gods sight long enough, they have said that God is
obligated to accept their
varieties and vexations. But the living God is not obligated to men, No not all. And because
men are foolish, because they live in Deception because they prefer their own way to Gods
way, He shall turn aside from them. And when the dismay shall hit though they tremble, though
they cry, though they moan, God will not hear them at all. In the days ahead many men shall be
destroyed and they shall likewise be damned. It is the living God who is bringing about the
cleansing upon the earth for there are many men who are not worthy to love. No men is
arranging it but it is being brought of the living God and no men shall be able to stop it. The
governments of men shall not stop God for when the living God does say it is time, it is time.
And indeed there is great destruction there is dismay, there is great devastation coming to the
sons of men.
But likewise those who will cry out to God, out of sincerity, out of truth out of desire for Christ,
they will be brought forth. For the living God will not neglect those who will confess their
neediness of the living God and who will walk uprightly. But indeed the ones who have chosen
another way, the ones who have chosen their own way, the ones who have loved their own sins
more than they have loved God, they shall be destroyed. During this time of devastation and
destruction the living God will likewise raise up messengers. They will declare the Lord as He is,
and there will be ungodly men, who have never heard Christ’s name, and they will repent and
God will redeem them. It shall be a time of the outpouring of Gods mercy, at the same time it is
the outpouring of Gods wrath. The ones who will tremble before the Lord, because they have
not known Him, but yet they will believe, yet they will be repentant and sorry for their abundance
of mercy for
them. For while the living God will judge those who have abused what He has given to them
and those who have been wantonly sinful and have no repentance within while God shall judge
them with His wrath and with His fury, likewise. He will extend mercy to those who will cry out in
sincere repentance who will cry out in the fear and trembling of God who will cry out in the times
of great devastation. The lord is the merciful God and when you see those who are slain, know
that they refused God, know that they did not desire the living God know that they loved iniquity
more than the living God.
GEN 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and
because their sin is very grievous;
GEN 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry
of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
GEN 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham
stood yet before the LORD.
GEN 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the
wicked? Why did God let Abraham question His justice and intercede for a wicked city?
Abraham knew God must punish sin, but he also knew from experience that God is merciful to
sinners. God knew there were no ten righteous people in the city, but He was merciful enough
to allow Abraham to intercede. He was also merciful enough to help Lot, Abraham’s nephew,
get out of Sodom before it was destroyed. God does not take pleasure in destroying the wicked
but He must punish sin. He is both just and merciful. We must be thankful that God’s mercy
extends to us.
2CHRON 16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto
him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God,
therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
2CHRON 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots
and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
2CHRON 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show
himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done
foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
2CHRON 16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in
a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
Judea and Israel never learned! Although God had delivered them even when they were
outnumbered (Chron 13:3, 14:9), they repeatedly sought help from heathen nations rather than
from God. That Asa sought help from Syria was evidence of an inward spiritual decline. With
help from God alone Asa had defeated Egypt in open battle. But his confidence in God had
slipped and now he sought only human solution to his problem. When confronted by the prophet
Hanani Asa throw him in jail, revealing the true condition of his heart. It is not sin to use human
means to solve our problems, but it is sin to trust them more than God; to think they are better
than Gods ways or to leave God completely out of the problem solving process JER 5:1 Run ye
to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be
any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Indeed the living God is the God of mercy and whosesoever men will repent of their wicked
ways, He will give them mercy. He will give them His loving kindness, and He will give them His
loving kindness and He will give them His guiding hand. Because of the terrible things that are
coming upon the sons of men there will be many who will repent who would not otherwise
repent. Is not this Gods mercy? Is not this Gods goodness? Would you prefer that God allowed
all men to perish in their sins? Hold no accusation in your heart against God for the times that
are befalling the sons of men for there is going to be great, great unlimited distress among the
nations. And all of the crafty inventions of men shall not relieve that distress for it does not come
of any men or any men’s accord of us who love the Lord, let us desire Him, and let us desire His
will to be done. For indeed when we will look to Christ He will hear us, when we will seek His
way, He will
guide us and He will even use us in the harvest that is at hand.
Indeed those who will love the Lord, they will love His appearing, even in His wrath and in His
fury. For they shall know God in His mercy and in His loving kindness to them. They shall see
God’s guiding hand. Do not be overwhelmed with fear, but walk in the fear of the Living God and
He will keep you. For indeed what shall come, it is of the Living God. And though men may try to
figure it out, they shall not be able to, for it shall not be attributable to the acts of men. They are
things that are far beyond men and what the Living God is bringing upon the earth is far beyond
the scope and the realm of power of humankind.
Those of us who are God’s servants, let us serve the Lord with diligence, let us serve Him
steadfastly, let us serve the Lord with obedience. For indeed the Living God shall keep all of
those who will look to God. But the ones who are like Lot’s wife, the ones who look back, the
ones who look with accusation against God, the ones who look with discord towards God’s will,
they shall likewise be destroyed. The ones who will be kept are the ones who will be in the ark
of safety. The ones who will be destroyed are the multitudes, the untold thousands, who are
upon the sea of iniquity and love it so. All of those who will repent and genuinely love the Lord
and desire Him, He will receive them. The ones who will shake their finger in rage and disgust
towards God they are already destroyed by their attitudes. Keep yourself in the attitude of
gratitude towards the Living God. Despite the times, be giving God thanks, be giving God praise
and He shall keep
you.AMEN

2chron 28:22 Difficulties and struggles can devastate people or they can stimulate growth and
maturity. For king Ahaz deep trials led to spiritual collapse. This need not be so in our lives.
When facing problems or tragedy, we must remember that rough times give us chance to grow.
When you are facing trials don’t turn away from God, turn to Him. James 1:2-4.
It is the Living God who does govern the universe. It is the Living God who does reign supreme.
And when men throw off God’s government, then does He bring upheaval. There is great
upheaval coming, it is to be brought by God’s spirit because men have refused His authority
over them. But it is the Living God who has founded and created the earth on which men dwell.
And when they refuse to accept God’s government over them, when they continually and
flagrantly abuse God’s standard, His law, principle and justice, they incur God wrath, His
danger. The living God Has pled a long with the sons of men, He Has given too much great
abundance. He has given to them great goodness, but they have trampled and abuse the same.
They have walked in dismay; they have walked in disputation with the word of God and His light.
For they prefer their deeds of darkness more than they prefer the light which would guide them
in the way of life. And because of that the
Living God is greatly disturbed with the sons of men. And He is bringing great upheaval, great
uproar, great dismay and great distress. Those of us who will love God’s authority over them,
we shall be kept. For God will keep us in His peace, He will keep us in His safety, He will keep
us sanctified by His Spirit truth.
But again the ones who have disregard for Christ’s life, for His principles of truth, for His
direction over them they shall be judged. For the Living God will show once again to the sons of
men that He is the supreme authority. The ones who will love God and love His appearing, they
will bow down before God, they will love God’s authority, and His principles of righteousness
shall be their guide. For all of those who shall walk in the fear of God, will not be overwhelmed
by the great tear that shall come upon the earth. But they will be led forth by a plain path; they
will be given the hope, the peace and the safety of who Christ is. When the Living God does
release calamity, no men is able to stop it. For him calamity that God’s brings is beyond the
scope of men, it is beyond their power to control, it is beyond their authority. But the Living God
knows that it is the time that He is bringing this upon the sons of men that He is jotting them out
of their arrogance that He is jotting then out of their conceitedness, and their flippancy towards
God. For indeed when men thirst for evil, and God gives it to them, there is no way that they can
adhere to righteousness. For when the Living God turn men over to be eaten out by
wickedness, indeed they shall be destroyed.
There are many in this generation, they are being destroyed because of their lust and their
longing for evil, the Living God turned them over to them and they are being consumed. There
are many who say they are God’s people but they are liars for they are mocking, scoffing and
walking after their own lusts. There are many who cry out and when God sends them His
delivering hand, when God sends them His prophet’s word, they scorn and scoff it. And
because they do that they become a grief to God, a great shame and a great sorrow. They are
many in this generation they have been turned over to reprobate thinking. For truly the Living
God is the divine authority and He is the ultimate in ruler ship. And when men will refuse and
refuse and refuse to recognize that. Shall not God judge them for their stubbornness?
Pr 1:23-33. To hear wisdom’s advice, we must be willing to listen. We can’t let pride stand in
our way. Pride is thinking more highly of our own wisdom and desires than God’s. If we think we
know better than God, we have fallen in to foolishness pride. When we feel, we have no need of
God’s direction. We are ignoring than bridge that connects us to Him humility.
Isa 25:4-12 the poor suffered because the rich oppressed them. But God is connected for the
poor and is a refuge for them. When we are disadvantaged or oppressed, we can turn to God
for comfort and help. Jesus states in Luke 6:20 that the kingdom of God belongs to the poor.
Here is a marvelous prophesy of Gentiles joining the Jews at God’s feast to celebrate the
overthrow of evil and reality of eternity with God. It shows that God intended His saving
message to go out to the whole world, not just to the Jews. during the feast, God will end death
forever (25:8) the people who participate in this great feast will be those who have been living
by faith, and are now being rewarded .That is why they say “This is our God in whom we trust
for whom we waited. Now at lest He is here” (25:9).
When God speaks, He does what He says. It is comforting to know that God’s plans and
activities are closely tied to His word. When we pray according to God’s will have expressed in
the Bible and claim His promises has recorded in the Bible. He hears us and answers our
requests. Moab was a symbol of all who oppose God and are rebellious to the end.
It is the Living God who is bringing about a change in the heaven lies. And it is the Living God
who shall cast nations down, even in a night. And there are those who have spread themselves
out thinking they would remain forever, but the Living God may bring them down and bring them
to nothing. God may do it instantly, for truly there is no power like to God’s power. There is no
glory like to God for He is the infinite God. And all of the ones who shall trust in the Lord, they
shall see that the Living God is the endless realm of glory. They shall see that even in the times
of great distress and dismay that God is able to keep His people.
But the ones who have looked to their own estate, they shall beat, they shall clutch, they shall
scream and howl, but they shall not be able to pull themselves out of their own demise. For truly
when men have swelled up through their own arrogancy and conceitedness and imagined they
could run things without God, imagined they know more than God, and imagined they
themselves are God, God will pull their foundation from them. And they shall come down in a
crumbled heap, they shall be a pile of rubble and they shall have nothing to stand upon. For
indeed the Living God shall show to the sons of men once again that He triumphs. He shall
show to the sons of men once again that it is the Lord, the Living God who reigns. For while
men have usurped and taken God’s authority, God will cast them down to show them they have
no authority or power to show them that they are no more than a puff of wind that blows away,
to show them that they are no more than a blade
of grass that withers.
The Living God shall bring down those who have called themselves great. He shall cast them
into the earth. They shall be ground to powder; they shall be cast out into the streets. For truly in
the great upheaval that God is bringing many who are proud and haughty, high and lifted up
shall be cast down. But the meek and lowly, the humble, the ones who cry out and call out, God
will hear their pleas. For indeed it gives the Living God pleasure to reveal the treasure of His
presence to all of those who cry out and hearken to Him. Indeed the Living God shall triumph in
the midst of a disturbed and distraught generation for He shall show that He is the citadel of
righteousness. And while it is a time of great turmoil and tribulation, likewise God will reap a
harvest. For many, when they are devastated, will look at the things they have trusted in and
realize those things are faulty, they are transition and they are nothing in God’s sight. And
because they
will come to that revelation they will be humbled down and they will be needy, and humbled
they will cry out. It shall be a time of rejoicing for those who have waited for God’s appearing for
they shall see Him in the harvest at hand. Those who are God’s true laborers, His true
messengers, they shall have a time of deep fulfillment and a time of great distress that shall
come upon the sons of men. For though there will be tragedy unlimited, and though there will be
tribulation on every hand, God’s true laborers shall rejoice for they shall see the harvest come
in.
In this hour God’s laborers have sought to labor, but the harvest has been scanty, but when
men are humbled down and brought to naught, then will they cry out, those of us who have our
hope in Christ, let us keep our hope steady and we shall not be disappointed. For when we shall
look to the Living God, we shall see His justice come forth, we shall see His power and glory
revealed. And when God sends the tribulation upon the sons of men, do not mourn but rather
rejoice that there will be a remnant spared through the devastation of their own estate. When
men are brought down low and they see that they are nothing, there will be a segment of men
who will cry out. But likewise there will be those who will stand and shake the fist at God, and
point into the sky with cursing, they will be smitten. They will go into death and damnation, for
they will not repent. In the hours a head, in the years ahead, the days ahead, know that it is
God’s hand. And when
you would see wretched things come upon the sons of men, know that they have behaved
themselves wretchedly in God sight, and the Living God gives back to men, that which they
have given to Him.
2Peter 3:10-18 Christ’s second coming will be sudden and terrible for those who do not believe
in Him. For other prophetic pictures of the day of the Lord see Isa 34:4, Joel 3:15-16, Matthew
24, Mark 13, Luke 21, Rev 6:12-17. Realizing that the earth is going to be burned up, w should
put our confidence in what is lasting and eternal. Do you spend more of your time piling up
possessions, or striving to develop Christ like character?
Isa 2:10-22, 3:8-26 Eventually the faithful will receive God’s reward and the wicked will receive
His punishment, it is disheartening to see the wicked prospering while we seem defeated as we
follow God’s plan. Yet we must hold on and take heart! God will bring about justice in the end,
and we will receive His reward if we have been faithful. The elders and princes were responsible
for helping people, but instead they defrauded the poor. Because they were unjust leaders,
Isaiah said they would be the first to receive God’s wrath. Leaders will be held accountable for
hour they lead. If you are a position of leadership. You must lead according to God’s just
commands. Corruption will bring God’s wrath. Especially if others follow your example.
Isa 4:1- 6 In the midst of the tribulation predicted by Isaiah. Some people will be protected by
God’s loving grace. Those protected will become God’s people when messiah rules the earth
(Jer 23:5-6, Zech 3:8). Their distinctive mark will be their holiness, not wealth or prestige. This
holiness comes from a sincere desire to obey God from whole hearted devotion to Him. Things
will not always continue as they are now. God will put on and to all evil and His faithful followers
will share in His glorious reign.
Rev 19:11-21 John’s vision shifts. Hearken opens and Jesus appears, this time not as a lamb,
but as a warrior on a white horse (symbolizing victory). Jesus came first as a lamb to be a
sacrifice for sin, but he will return as a conqueror and king execute judgment. (2Thes 1:7-10).
His first coming brought forgiveness, Hiss second will bring judgment. The battle lines have now
been drown between God and evil and the word is waiting for the king ride out to the field.
Rejoice all of you who hope in Christ. Rejoice that He is glorious, wondrous and that is
judgments are perfect. Rejoice that the Living God shall bring forth that which in needed in this
hour, in this generation and in this time. Likewise rejoice that God is ever merciful, ever
abundant and goodness does remain. Rejoice that there is none like to the living God, rejoice
that He splits apart the precious and the vile. Rejoice that God gives men what they desire in
this hour. There are many who long to see God, He will come to them. But there are even more
who long and lust for evil and wickedness, they long for the very elements of destruction. God
will likewise give to them that which they long for. For indeed God is putting before men choices
of life, or choices of death in this generation. For there have been generations when God has
pled and God has come forth. But they have trampled God. And because they have been
abusive towards God, the living God
is withdrawing Himself and He will leave men to the choices that they make.
When God sends devastation there will be some who will cry out. But likewise when God send
devastation there will be more who will curse the God. The ones who curse God, they will be
cursed, they will be destroyed, they will be denned. For when men shall curse God, that shall be
their abode. They shall dwell in cursing and demnetion for they have sought to claim the lord,
the living God.
Stop and consider what God is saying to you, that if men continually refuse to repeat they are as
those who were in the days of Noah. For though there were multitudes and multitudes they
scoffed God’s standard. And they refused to enter into the Ark that could have provided them
safety. They refused when the floods came, they perished in their Sins. So it is that the
devastation the destruction and the demise of men is coming and God ordering it to be so. If
they refuse Christ, they shall be damned and be destroyed. AMEN.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :
Prophet
(Heb. nabi, from a root meaning "to bubble forth, as from a
fountain," hence "to utter", comp. Ps. 45:1). This Hebrew word
is the first and the most generally used for a prophet. In the
time of Samuel another word, _ro'eh_, "seer", began to be used
(1 Sam. 9:9). It occurs seven times in reference to Samuel.
Afterwards another word, _hozeh_, "seer" (2 Sam. 24:11), was
employed. In 1 Ch. 29:29 all these three words are used: "Samuel
the seer (ro'eh), Nathan the prophet (nabi'), Gad the seer"
(hozeh). In Josh. 13:22 Balaam is called (Heb.) a _kosem_
"diviner," a word used only of a false prophet.
The "prophet" proclaimed the message given to him, as the
"seer" beheld the vision of God. (See Num. 12:6, 8.) Thus a
prophet was a spokesman for God; he spake in God's name and by
his authority (Ex. 7:1). He is the mouth by which God speaks to
men (Jer. 1:9; Isa. 51:16), and hence what the prophet says is
not of man but of God (2 Pet. 1:20, 21; comp. Heb. 3:7; Acts
4:25; 28:25). Prophets were the immediate organs of God for the
communication of his mind and will to men (Deut. 18:18, 19). The
whole Word of God may in this general sense be spoken of as
prophetic, inasmuch as it was written by men who received the
revelation they communicated from God, no matter what its nature
might be. The foretelling of future events was not a necessary
but only an incidental part of the prophetic office. The great
task assigned to the prophets whom God raised up among the
people was "to correct moral and religious abuses, to proclaim
the great moral and religious truths which are connected with
the character of God, and which lie at the foundation of his
government."
Any one being a spokesman for God to man might thus be called
a prophet. Thus Enoch, Abraham, and the patriarchs, as bearers
of God's message (Gen. 20:7; Ex. 7:1; Ps. 105:15), as also Moses
(Deut. 18:15; 34:10; Hos. 12:13), are ranked among the prophets.
The seventy elders of Israel (Num. 11:16-29), "when the spirit
rested upon them, prophesied;" Asaph and Jeduthun "prophesied
with a harp" (1 Chr. 25:3). Miriam and Deborah were prophetesses
(Ex. 15:20; Judg. 4:4). The title thus has a general application
to all who have messages from God to men.
But while the prophetic gift was thus exercised from the
beginning, the prophetical order as such began with Samuel.
Colleges, "schools of the prophets", were instituted for the
training of prophets, who were constituted, a distinct order (1
Sam. 19:18-24; 2 Kings 2:3, 15; 4:38), which continued to the
close of the Old Testament. Such "schools" were established at
Ramah, Bethel, Gilgal, Gibeah, and Jericho. The "sons" or
"disciples" of the prophets were young men (2 Kings 5:22; 9:1,
4) who lived together at these different "schools" (4:38-41).
These young men were taught not only the rudiments of secular
knowledge, but they were brought up to exercise the office of
prophet, "to preach pure morality and the heart-felt worship of
Jehovah, and to act along and co-ordinately with the priesthood
and monarchy in guiding the state aright and checking all
attempts at illegality and tyranny."
In New Testament times the prophetical office was continued.
Our Lord is frequently spoken of as a prophet (Luke 13:33;
24:19). He was and is the great Prophet of the Church. There was
also in the Church a distinct order of prophets (1 Cor. 12:28;
Eph. 2:20; 3:5), who made new revelations from God. They
differed from the "teacher," whose office it was to impart
truths already revealed.
Of the Old Testament prophets there are sixteen, whose
prophecies form part of the inspired canon. These are divided
into four groups:
(1.) The prophets of the northern kingdom (Israel), viz.,
Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jonah.
(2.) The prophets of Judah, viz., Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah,
Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah.
(3.) The prophets of Captivity, viz., Ezekiel and Daniel.
(4.) The prophets of the Restoration, viz., Haggai, Zechariah,
and Malachi.

Jesus warnings about false teachers still hold true. Upon close examination it becomes clear

Is it possible for Christians to be deceived? Yes. So convincing will be the arguments and
proofs from deceivers to fall away from Christ. If we are prepared, Jesus says, we can remain
faithful, but if we are not prepared we will not endure. To penetrate the disguises of false
teachers, we can ask: 1.
Have their predictions come true, or do they have to revise them to fit what’s already
happened?
2.
Does any teaching utilize a small section of the bible to the neglect of the whole?
3.
Does the teaching go against what is said in the Bible about God?
4.
Are the practices meant to glorify the teacher or Christ?
5.
Do the teachings promote hostility towards other Christians?
The living God gives to men that which they desire. But if men do not keep their hearts before
God, they will desire the very thing that will be their own destruction. For the hearts of men are
deceitfully wicked and when men will desire those things that are vile and corrupt in God’s sight,
He turns them over, for He has pled with men and pled with men and pled with men. God has
sent His true prophets to this nation crying out, but men have not desired the truth, they have
not longed to know the Christ. But they have longed for those things that are wicked, those
things that are vile, and there things that are corrupt. And because they have longed for those
things it is the living God who does turn them over. The false prophets have been released upon
those who say they are God’s people. The false prophets as a pack of ravening wolves have
gone forth to devour. But it is because God’s people love it so and they have not desired the
truth and they
have not desired God’s holiness nor His righteousness but they have desired those things that
are sensual, those things that are wicked and vile. And because of that God has released upon
our nation the false prophets and they go forth as a pack of devouring wolves, feeding God’s
people lies, feeding God’s people pretensions, feeding them exactly what they have desired out
of their own wicked hearts. And it is indeed God’s doing.
When men will continually reject the truth and when they will stone God’s true one’s, when they
will stone the ones who are God’s true voice, the living God turn them over to the false. God
turns them over to the vain, He turns them over to those who will give them lies in hypocrisy that
their souls could be damned. We are living at a time in our nation when false prophets are no
the raise, they are increasing, they are multiplying and God’s people love it so. For their hearts
are wicked, and full of corruption, vileness and abomination. And they have their eyes upon the
world and they are far from the living God. And because they love the place that they are at, and
they hunger and thirst for vileness and wickedness, the living God turns them over to the
obscene messengers who send forth lies to them to satisfy their thirst of lies. For when men and
women desire the truth, the truth shall come to them. But when the desire abomination and they
reject the truth, the living God turns them over and they are consumed of the very things they
have lusted for.
Those of us who say we are God’s people in this nation do we seek to keep ourselves
unspotted from the world? Do we keep ourselves in the purity of who the Lord Jesus Christ is?
Do we desire the true blessedness of God’s sanctified word in our midst? Or do we run
headlong after the false prophets? Do you run headlong after folly, foolishness, vanity and
vexation.vexation? Every menman is judged by his doings and by the secret longings of his
hearts. This is the hour that the living God is making evident what is dwelling within the hearts of
men. And when men desire lies, God turns them over to be ruled by liars, and when they desire
vileness, God turns them to be ruled by the most vile. And when they desire the obscene, God
turns them over to the same. For indeed, the pathetic and wretched condition of those who say
they are God’s people is because they have been turned over to the very issues of their own
hearts. The living God will no longer
contend with them, but He turns over to be taken prisoner of the very things they think they
desire. For indeed when men will desire that which is phony they are turned over to it. And God
turns away from them. When they are pretenders, mockers, and scatters walking after their own
lusty who should the living God beg and plead with them forever? God does not, but He turns
away from them and they are given over to a reprobate mind.
2COR 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the
apostles of Christ.
No other person, method, or ritual can give eternal life. There is only one way to spend eternity
with God-through believing in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. Some people think all religion
are equal valid paths to God. But that is not what God says. He has provided just one way Jesus Christ (JN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
)
Those who fooled the GeletianGalatians believers were zealousdous Jewish Christians who
believed that the Old Testament practices such as circumcision and dietary restrictions were
required of all believers in Christ. Because this teacher wanted to turn the Gentile Christians into
Jews, they were called Judaeizers. Some time after the letter to the Gaelaetians was sent, Paul
met with the apostles in Jerusalem to discuss this matter farther (Acts 15).
The Galatian Christians were mainly Greek unfamiliar with Jewish laws and custom. The
Judaeizers were an extreme faction of Jewish Christians. Both believed in Christ but their
lifestyles differed considerably. We do not know why the Judaeizers traveled to teach their
mistaken nations to the new Gentile converts. They may have been motivated by
1.
A sincere wish to integrate Judaeism with the new Christian faith.
2.
A sincere love for their Jewish heritage or
3.
A jealous desire to destroy Paul’s authority.
Whether or not there Judaeizers were sincere their teaching threatened those new churches
and had to be countered. Paul was not rejecting everything Jewish. He Himself was a Jew who
worshiped in the Temple and attended the religious festivals. But he was concerned that nothing
get in the way of the simple truth of his message -that salvation to Jews and Gentiles a like is by
faith in Jesus Christ alone.
Twisted truth is sometimes more difficult to spot then outright lies. The Judaeizers were twisting
the truth about Jesus Christ. They claimed to follow Him, but they denied that Jesus’ work on
the cross was sufficient for salvation. There will be always people who twist the Good news.
Either they do not understand what the Bible teaches, or they are uncomfortable with the truth
as it stands, how we can tell when people are twisting the truth? Before accepting the teachings
of any group, find out what the group teaches about Jesus Christ. If their teaching does not
match the truth in God’s word, then it is twisted (Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be
some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.).
Rev 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them
which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast
found them liars:
Over along period of time, the church in Ephesus had refused to tolerate sin among its
members. This was not easy in a city noted for the immoral sexual practices associated with the
worship of the goddess Diana. We also are living in times of widespread sin and sexual
immorality. It is popular to be open-minded toward many types of sin, calling them “personal
choices” or alternative lifestyles. But when the body of believers begins to tolerate sin in the
church, the standards are lowered and the church’s witness is compromised. Remember, God’s
approval is infinitely more important then the world’s.
The corruption that is abounding among those who claim they are God’s people in our nation is
horrifying. But it is because they are false; they are not truly God’s people because they do not
long for Christ. For indeed those who are sincerely God’s people will keep His commandments,
they will long for this truth, they will desire the standard of God’s righteousness. But there are
many bastard children born in this nation in this generation they are the children of corruption,
they are the children of iniquity, they are the children of hypocrisy. And because they have been
brought forth in Mel conception, that is conception of the vile seed, they can only do that which
they do. For they are not born of the incorruptible seed, but they are born of corruptible seed
and they are nothing but a flesh show and an imitation and an emulation. For they do not desire
to be a holy people, a sanctified people, a purified people, but they are fleshpots, they
are people of abomination, they are children of whoeredoms.
God’s true ones must separate themselves from the wickedness, from the vileness lest they be
fainted by the same. And God’s true one’s will pay heed to God and will separate from the
wicked corruption that is transpiring in this hour in our nation and they will come after Christ. But
the children of whoeredoms will only go deeper into their wickedness, into iniquity and their
corrupted ness. For indeed when men cry out and cry out and cry out for their idols and they do
not desire Christ, how long will God plead with them? Time has come that God will no longer
plead but He will turn them over to the every thing they cry but for. And the abomination that
they shall commit will be so astounding that it will be worse then the world. For they will become
more reprobate and more degraded and defiled then the heathen round about. For indeed while
they hunger and thirst for filthiness, vileness, wickedness and evil the living God has had to look
upon that
and see their continual refusal of Christ and He has had enough of their refusal now they shall
get what they lust for and long for. All of the secret longings of their hearts shall be fulfilled. For
God shall turn them over to reprobate wickedness and the entirely of evil shall flow into them.
And they will be vessels of great dishonor for the living God will no longer plead with a
disobedient and preserve generation.
But instead God turns men over to be ruled by their idols, to be ruled by their lusts, to be ruled
by their longings and when they are ruled the same there will be no way of escape for them. For
no longer will they cry out to God in their mocking voices, but they will be locked into their
idolatry and into their debauchery and into their corruptness. Do not have party with them. Be
not a partaker of their sins, but come out from among them and be a separate people to the
living God. For indeed all those who will truly be God’s vessels, they will seek to be an
honorable remnant, they will have no part of the abomination. They will flee their wickedness,
they will flee the corruption, they will flee the ungodliness and they will forth in Christ in the
fullness of who He His. There are many in this nation in this generation they desire to be a law
to themselves, for they go about to establish their own way and their way is death. And they go
about to
establish their own understanding and their understanding is darkened. And yet they will not
bow themselves down before the living God in humility and truth, and they will not receive the
light instead they prefer their own way. Such ones are turned over even this day, they are
turned over to their own deceptions, they are turned over to their own folly, they are turned over
to that which they long for and lust for, and their way is destruction. For truly no longer will God
desire to keep within His household those who hate Him and those who mimic the Lord and
those who lust after wickedness. But the Lord will turn them over and it will be shocking to see
what they shall do, but that is what has been within them all a long. For they have not sought to
cleanse themselves from the filthiness of flesh and spirit, they have not sought to come into the
purity of who Christ is. They have scoffed His holiness and made a mock of His righteousness.
And new God
will depart, He will leave them to their own ways, He will leave them to their own greediness for
lust, God will leave them to all of that which they have imagined they wanted. And the
abominations which they are committing are for worse than the abominations of the leather.
Isa 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at
agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we
have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Judah was afraid of the Assyrians instead of trusting God the Judeans turned to other sources
for security. God accused them of bargaining with death. This passage probably refers to
Hezekiah’s alliance with Pharaoh Tirhakah against Assyrian God would cancel this agreementEgypt would be of no help when Assyria attacked. Is it worth selling out what we believe in for
temporary protection against an enemy? If we went lasting protection we must turn to the only
one able to deliver us from eternal death - God (Isa 57:4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves?
against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of
transgression, a seed of falsehood.
, 59:13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God,
speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.).
Truly it is a work of the Holy Spirit that is transpiring, for the Lord has released the false
prophets and they shall be multiplied and they are as a pack of wolves, devouring, destroying
and ripping a sunder. But God’s ex-people that is those ones who make fraudulent use of God’s
name, God has turned them over and they are not His. But they are children of abomination.
Keep your heart with diligence before the living God for if you use His name, you will be
accountable for the same. And if we say that we are His people, then we must walk by His
standard. Let us be not as the abominable creatures that claim that they are God’s, yet are the
most vile, wicked and filthy things that have over come out of the pit. For they are of their Father
the devil, they are not born of the incorruptible seed. But they are the seed of whoeredoms, they
are the adulterous children born of their mothers, born of the whores, born for those who commit
abomination. And they are not acceptable to God. Let us have no party with them lest we be
fainted by their stench. But let us come apart from them and be clean for the living God is purity
and holiness. God is neither wickedness nor vileness. The people who are truly God’s children
will reflect the glories of His kingdom. They will not have upon themselves the glories of this
present
world, the glories of the kingdom of abomination but they will reflect God’s glory.
If you are privileged to be God’s rejoice in that privilege, do not trample it beneath your feet, but
rejoice that you are privileged to be separated that you are privileged to be consecrated to
Christ. And make no idols, neither worship the same. But worship the living God and Him alone.
For all those who worship idols in this nation in this generation shall be turned over to be ruled
by their idols, and they shall be turned over to ruled by their abominations. But all who will
worship the living God, God shall purity them by fire, and they will be sanctified with the truth.
They will indeed be the children of the light, for indeed our nation is going into gross darkness
and there are many who claim they know Christ, they claim they love Him, but they are
partakers of the gross darkness. For it is within their hearts to separate to Christ but it is within
their hearts to give themselves to multitudes of idols and abominations. God takes His hand off
and turn them over.AMEN.

This is presumption, not genuine repentance. The people did not understand the depth of their
sins. They did not turn from idols, pledge to charge, or regret their sins. They thought God’s
wroth would rest only a few days, little did they know that their nation would soon be taken into
exile. Israel was interested in God only for national benefits He provided. They did not value the
eternal benefit that come from worshiping Him before judging them, however, consider your
attitude. What do you hope to gain from your religion? Do you ‘repeat easily, without sinuously
considering changes need to take place your life?
God has shown His faithfulness to son to know Him and His way He would save themselves to
them and they were right {HOS2:20} or a promise of God’s faithfulness}.The problem was that
they were so deep in sin, they did not really want to know Him. They wanted blessings, but His
discipline or guidenessguide ness
.
The living God is bringing forth His judgments and they are coming with severity to the sons of
men While men think that they have an excuse because they know not, there is no excuse. For
the living God has put within the bosom of every men conscience and when men will refuse to
pay heed to the conscience , and they are reprobate, vile and corrupted, they will face God
judgments, for the living God has destroyed nation, He has pulled them down. And He has
destroyed the nation of the heathen, that is the unbelieving. He Has brought them to naught.
The living God has done it because He is sick up of their abominations their sins, their vileness
and their wickedness in His eyes. If the living God shall destroy the heathen who knows Him
not, shall He not likewise destroy own people who refuse to walk by His law by His standard,
who refuse to hear what God spirit says to them, who refuse to repeat? They likewise shall be
destroyed. For when God’s wrath
and anger is kindled, no man shall stop Him. And though men think they are secure, they are
not. For even those who are caked by the of the lord, if they commit abomination, they are
abominable in God’s sight and He will judge them as He judges the heathen. For this is the hour
of the living God shall show forth His right hand. And it shall be the hand of God’s judgment
against the wickedness, against sinfulness, against the vileness of carnal men.
For truly the time has come when God has had enough. And the distress is shortly coming for
the living God desire it to be so. And when God shall bring forth the distress, no man shall stop
Him. And it shall not be in the hand of men to determine what God shall do and what He shall
not do. For the living God is for above men. In this hour even those who should be standing for
God’s standard are hypocrites and liars, they mockers and scoffers, they walk after their own
lusts for they do not walk in the awesome fear of the living God, but they walk bowing down
And licking the dust that they may find the approval of men. And because they do those things
they have become messengers and workers of darkness rather than messengers and workers
of light. And they are ashamed, and a disgrace, an abomination to the living God. They are a
shame to God’s Holy Name, and standard. For truly the Living God will not be pulled down by
carnal men. God will not allow His standard to be trampled in the dust by the swine, but the
Living God will rise up His standard for it is far above men. And there will be those who will
adhere to the lord, they will walk uprightly. They will walk in the Holy presences of who the Lord
is and they will declare His truth. They will not be judged by the judgments that God has
released for they have allowed the spirit of God to already judge them. They have allowed their
own sins to be revealed. And because they have done that, the Living God will show mercy to
them. But the ones who continue
steadfast in their abominable ways, the Living God shall judge and judge and judge against
them. And though they say they are God’s people, they will know no mercy, they will be judged
as the heathen are judged.
For truly there are many nations that once knew God but they have forgotten the Living God.
Even though they declared that they know God, they have forgotten Him for no longer do they
walk by God’s law no longer do they walk by God’s standard, they use God’s name and they
create for themselves a god of their own imagination. And then they tack the Name of the Lord
on the same, and they say that “The Lord has said”. But they are abomination to the Living God
and He has not said. So shall not the Living God execute His judgments against them? That He
shall. For there are many who were meant to walk by God’s light but they refused. Therefore
they shall be lead even by their noses into darkness for God shall allow it to be so. And their
whole world shall be darkness for they have refused the light. Those who have had the light and
refused to walk in the same, they shall be doubly cursed, they shall be doubly damned.
Isa 30:19- For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be
very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20: And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not
thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye
turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22: Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy
molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it,
Get thee hence.
23: Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of
the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in
large pastures.
24: The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which
hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25: And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of
waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26: Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall
be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his
people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. The Lord gave His people the bread of adversity
and the water of affliction, but He promised to be with them, teach them and guide them during
hard times following him can be painful, but He does this out if His love for us. Next time you go
through a difficult time, try to appreciate the experience and grow from it, learning what God
wants to teach you. God may be showing you His love by paticutly walking with you through
adversity if the people of Jerusalem left God’s path, He would correct them. He will do the same
for us. But when we hear His voice of correction, we must be willing to follow it.
It is one thing when men are in darkness and only have the conviction of their conscience to
walk by. It is another thing when men are given; the light and they refuse to walk in it. The ones
who have been given the light and refuse the light, their damnation shall be double; the cursing
upon them shall be increased. For truly the Living God is just in all of His judgments, and when
He shall judge men, when He shall judge nations when He shall judge tribes and kindred’s and
peoples, His judgments are just. Rejoice that it is God’s hour that it is God’s time and the Living
God shall encompass the sons of men in the fire of His judgments. And those who imagine that
they are just those who imagine that they are holy, those who imagine that they are fine with
God, yet, they live like the world, shall God not judge them? Yes, He shall.
Men have attempted to use God’s Name as though it was a good luck charm but they are such
stupid fools. For God’s Name is Holy and when men will use it in vain, they shall be judged for
the same. Those of us who fear and tremble at God’s presence at His power and at His glory,
let us seek to walk uprightly. Let us seek to obey God in all that we would do, let us seek to bow
down low, let us seek to be a people who praise God. For indeed when we will seek to praise
the Living God, He shall be gloried in our midst. And the ones who will seek to praise the Lord,
they shall know that it is God’s hour, that His time is at hand and they will warn men of the
impending danger. For truly God shall send forth those who will know Him, who will keep His
standard, and they shall cry out. But the ones who are sleeping will be greatly annoyed with the
sound of alarm, they will say, “It is no so, it is not so”. And they will continue to believe the lying
prophets, they will continue to dwell at ease in Zion, they will continue to imagine they may go
on in folly all of their days.
But of a surety the Living God will not allow them to even enjoy the folly they have sought to
pursue. But He will uproot them, He will turn them out, He will cause them to be absconded, He
will cause all manner of evil to come against the. For God shall send forth His true ones, His
true messengers crying out, crying out. They will be a remnant who believes what they say, but
the majority of those who think they are God’s people while they in sins an iniquity, their hearts
will be hard, their ears will be sealed, and their eyes will be blind. And they will not perceive and
receive, they will not repent but they will be damned. For the ones who say they are God’s
people, this hour in our nation are stubborn against the Living God. For they do not seek God’s
face nor His counsel. They do not bow down before God but they are caught up in their own lies
and their own hypocrisy. They love their own ways then the love of living God. For they live
under
a false assurance that because they may name God’s Name, that they are acceptable in His
sight. There are many nations upon the earth they have forgotten the living God, and God
likewise shall forget them in the turmoil and the tribulation the distress that has come. For the
Living God is able to rip out the blanket and tip over the articles contained there in and they
shall be scattered. They shall be broken and smitten and there shall be none to repair them.
Zeph 2:1- Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2: Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the
LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.
3: Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek
righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger. there
was still time to event judgment. The people simply had to turn from their sins humble
themselves, and obey God. The Old Testament prophets announced news of destruction but
they also offered the only means of escape and protection – turning from sin and walking with
God (Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of
thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?).
God’s judgment against Judah came with ample warning so the people had no excuse. God told
them to;
1.
Pray together
2.
Beg to be saved
3.
Humbly do what is right.
As God warns Judah, so He also warns us concerning the final Day of Judgment. We must
1.
Pray for forgiveness of sin
2.
Ask God to bring us into His heavenly kingdom
3.
Humbly obey Him
At the end of time, when God comes to judge, you can’t say, “But no one told me”. Turn to God
today for salvation.
When men are adamant against the Living God, He grows adamant against them. And all of
those who have taken it upon themselves to be separated from God, and not separated to Him,
in the hour of distress they shall know their neediness but God will not answer them. For the
Living God shall return to men what they have given to Him. And if they have given God
contempt, if they have given God arrogancy and flippancy, the same shall the Living God give to
them in their hour of great distress and dismay. Be not amongst the riotous eaters of flesh that
is those ones who think that they may continually, they may go on in folly, they may abandon
God’s way and the living God does not know. For God knows all of the deeds of the sons of
men and when men are vile and corrupt and wicked in God’s sight, shall the living God not
judge them for the same. Do not be a keeper with the foolish, with the stupid and the blinded,
but come out from among them and be a
people separated to God.
All those who hear the voice of the Living God and obey, they shall be counted worthy to be
spared. But the ones who will hear the voice of the Living God and belligerently disobey, walk
after their own counsel, walk after the counsel of the false prophets, they shall likewise be
destroyed. For of a surely this is the time that the Living God is bringing great distress. He is
bringing great destruction .He is bringing great tribulation and upheaval, and there shall be
many who are caught in the flood of iniquity and though they may cry and moan and scream
and fight against the waves, it shall be too late. For the Living God is sending forth His
messengers for a season, they shall cry out to men to repent of their wicked ways, and to come
into the ark of safety. But most will scoff the criers; they will scoff the prophets and scorn them.
And because of that they likewise shall be drowned, they shall be overwhelmed in the sea of
iniquity and they will not
be able to enter into God’s ark or safety. Day heed to what the Lord says, for when the Living
God sends forth His messengers crying out, crying out , crying out, that is the time to repent,
that is the time to be restored, that is the time to come into the ark of safety that God can keep
you. But if you shall put off the criers of truth, if you shall put of the true prophets, you shall
likewise perish in the sea of iniquity. For indeed there shall be a time that God sends forth His
messengers, and that shall be the time given to the sons of men.
All of those who will hearken at that time, they will be brought into the ark of safety, and when
the great distress comes they will not be destroyed. But all of those who think they may put God
off and delay and delay and delay, they shall be overwhelmed, overtaken and be destroyed. For
the distress that comes, no men will have the remedy, no men will have the solution and no
nation will be able to sign a pledge against it. For it shall not be in the hands of men, it is far
beyond them. They shall live in dismay, perplexity and fear. For the mighty works that the Living
God performs no men can stop, no men can prevent, no men can sign an oath against the
same. For what the Living God shall bring is great upheaval, it shall be His just judgment and
only those who are justified by their faith, hope and confidence in Christ shall be redeemed.
Rejoice, for indeed it is God’s time, the distress comes of the Living God, the dismay likewise.
But the ones who
call out to Christ shall be redeemed. AMEN:

Praise God, it is the living God who does render vengeance. It is the living God who vindicates
himself. Trust yourself totally to Him and know that He is able, know that God will vindicate
Himself on all of those who will oppose Him. On all of those who think they can undermine the
Lord, on all of those who think they are superior to God,know that vengeance belong s to God
and He does repay. Do not seek to vindicate yourself, do not seek to get revenge or prove that
you are better than those who would undermine you. But rest in Christ and trust in Him and
know that God is able. For it is a part of God’s righteousness that He would vindicate Himself
upon those who are enemies of God's purpose. For when God's people will walk uprightly, then
it is the living God who shall deal with those who oppose His truth,who oppose His light, and
those who oppose God's way. For truly it is the living God who is well able and when His people

We are living in a nation that is rebellious against the living God, we are living in times when
men and women in this nation are cursing the living God left and right. That is, when they are
standing up against the living God and thinking that they know truth, that they know this, that
they know that. When all of the time, they are speaking lies in hypocrisy. But there is no sweat
in the eyes of God for the living God just wait His time, then He vindicates Himself upon them.
There are many in this nation, they suffer from diseases they should never have, but they suffer
and suffer and suffer because the living God allows it to be so to vindicate Himself upon their
proud flesh. We are living at a time in our nation when men are haughty and high minded, they
are proud and lifted up, they are arrogant against the truth. And those very ones are cursed with
diseases, they are cursed in their bodies and they suffer and suffer and suffer for it is the living
God
who renders His vengeance upon their proud flesh. Do not be high minded against God, do not
be arrogant, do not be accusatory for vengeance belongs to God and He repays. And
wheresoever a man will lift himself up, in the same place will he be reduced, for when the living
God would vindicate Himself against the proud doers, He does a thorough job. Therefore those
of us who say we are Christians let's be humbled day by day, by the leading of the Spirit of
God. For indeed the Spirit of God will lead us into humility and it will cause us to curse our own
proud flesh. But when we will allow our proud flesh to exalt itself, then does the Living God have
to render vengeance against the same. And He does it justly and He does it perfectly, Isa 34:115.[1] Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is
therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
[2] For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he
hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
[3] Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the
mountains shall be melted with their blood.
[4] And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a
scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig
from the fig tree.
[5] For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon
the people of my curse, to judgment.
[6] The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of
lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
[7] And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land
shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
[8] For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy
of Zion.
[9] And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and
the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
[10] It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from
generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
[11] But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in
it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
[12] They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her
princes shall be nothing.
[13] And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof:
and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
[14] The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the
satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of
rest.
[15] There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow:
there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
There are some of you in this nation, you say that you are God’s people, yet you are suffering
tremendously in the flesh and the adversity that our nation has been caught in. But if you will
see that the living God is humbling your flesh that you could be united to Him, then can you
rejoice for when you are proud in yourself and arrogant against the living God, you will not be
acceptable in the beloved. But when you are rendered useless and brought down, then may
God accept you. Know that vengeance belongs to God, know that justice belongs to God and
know that God does repay. Wheresoever men or women has vaunted themselves against God
and exulted themselves against God, so shall the living God render His vengeance to them, And
indeed that is God’s justice, that is God’s mercy, that is God’s goodness. For if a man is not
brought low, that he can enter into Christ and he is damned, is that good! No! It is not good. But
when the living God would
render His vengeance against his flesh that he may be brought down, that he may be brought
low that he could enter into Christ, indeed that is God’s merciful judgement upon the man. When
you would see many in torment, when you would see them in suffering and you would see them
in anguish, do not pray that it would be brought now that they could come into Christ. For indeed
there are many who will never outer into Christ unless they suffer. for in their flesh they are
proud, they are haughty, they are lifted up and arrogant, they are fools. But when they will go
through the fire of suffering then will they be brought down, then will they be brought low and
then will they be brought into Christ.
Let us know that the living God has all things in his hands and when we live in a proud and an
arrogant generation, shall not the living God send many sorrows upon the citizen of our nation,
that we can be brought down, that we can enter into Christ, that we can know His mercy.
Rejoice that the lord is the living God, and vengeance is his. And wheresoever a man or woman
shall oppose God, shall not the living God oppose them, and shall not God bring them down and
render them useless and helpless? Yes he shall therefore if you have been subject to proud
mockers, know that they shall be mocked. For wheresoever they shall mock and scourge Gods
precious ones, His chosen ones, He shall mock and scourge them. And Gods vengeance is
greater than what they have done to God’s people. For the Lord is the God of multiplication and
when men will purpose themselves to be wicked to God’s people, he will turn around and do the
same to them. And it’s not only given
but it is multiplied. For the living God is just and his Judgements are perfect. And whatsoever a
man shall sow, the same shall he reap, and He will give it again to Him. For vengeance belongs
to God and He does repay. And likewise it is with his people. When God’s people in our nation
have turned aside from Him and they have began to worship idols, the living God shall scourge
them. God shall bring His vengeance upon them, and He shall do it through things they have
worshiped and the things they have put before God. For the living God is jealous after those for
whom he has paid the price. God is jealous after those that he has chosen. And when they
themselves shall play the where on God, vengeance belong to god and he shall repay and
repay and repay to them. For God shall scourge them within the very idols they have bowed to,
with the very images, with the very things they have chosen to worship instead of the living God.
Therefore rest assured that vengeance belongs to God and he does repay. Thank God that His
judgements are perfect and He judges justly. For there is no justice in the world, but there is
justice in the living God, for He is righteous and true and all of those who will desire Him, He
shall come to them. And even those who have claimed the desired God yet have turned aside
shall the living God not render his vengeance upon their lying carnality through his mercy?
Indeed He shall. For God shall render vengeance against there carnality but He will extend
them mercy if they will but cry out to Him again. Therefore thank the living God that Vengeance
is His. For when men try to bring about revenge, they are unjust and they are imperfect. But the
living God is just and perfect. And vengeance rendered in His righteousness is a blessing.
Therefore cry out to know the living God as the vengeful God, cry out know His revenge, cry out
to know His vengeance. For even
when it is against your own proud carnality it is perfect. Rejoice that the Lord is the living God,
that His mercies endure forever, rejoice that Lord is God who is just in all of His judgement. Pray
those judgements would be rendered in your own life, for indeed when every one in our nation
will walking according to God’s judgement, we will know the perfect peace that is in the living
God.
Jer 51:1-10- 1] Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them
that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
[2] And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the
day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
[3] Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up
in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
[4] Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her
streets.
[5] For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their
land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
[6] Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity;
for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
[7] Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the
nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
[8] Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so she may
be healed.
[9] We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one
into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
[10] The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work
of the LORD our God.Many have reward and wanton flesh in this generation in our nation for
they have believed lying messengers, they have believed the world, they have believed demons
and they have yielded them selves to one wantonness and ungodly behaviors and it makes
God’s vengeances upon their wild carnality to bring them into obedience. For there are often
times that God’s people must be beaten with many stripes in order that their carnality can be
subdued. When you would see God’s people under the scourge, under the beating, rejoice and
be glad and when the living God would use the whip upon you, rejoice and be glad. For God
knows what iniquity, He knows what foolishness must be driven from you and when God does
that against you, do not cry and mourn and hate. The Lord for the same, but love him. For it is
better that a man be beaten with many strips
than that he rise up in His proud flesh and rise up in his own carnality and His own importance
and
miss eternity with the living God. For they are many who are deceived by their own flesh, they
are deceived by their own carnal minds, and they would purpose themselves to serve Christ,
except for the proud mocker that parks with in them. Is it not more merciful that the living God
would thoroughly scourge the proud mocker than that God would let them perish in their sins?
Thank God that it is Him who does bring forth His righteous Judgements, Who does bring forth
what His people have need of who does scourge that he loves. Indeed those that belong to
God, those that He has called, and those that He has chosen, He will chastise them that they
can be brought into righteousness that the fool may be driven from them. Rejoice that the living
God does take His vengeance upon those who oppose Him, upon those who oppose God’s
purpose, those who oppose God’s true ones for thoroughly God shall scourge them and beat
them, and some shall be brought down to the place where they will repeat and be restored to
God themselves others will be beaten by God’s vengeance, and they will be given a place in
hellfire for they refused to repeat but likewise God uses His vengeance against His chosen,
against His chosen, and against His called when they allow their proud flesh to usurp His
authority. And He bring them down and He brings them
to confession and brings them to repentance.
