Don’t Let Your Arms fall to Your Enemies

Exodus 17: 6-12

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not? Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. AAnd Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

 

Numbers 21: 4-9

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.  And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.  And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

 

The Lord will not lead you in the middle of no place and say start your ministry yourself. If He led you to start a ministry, He will not let you flip the bill all by yourself. He won’t leave you stranded so your arms fall to your side and you give up. That is not what He is about, He’s not going to do that. The Children of Israel didn’t understand that. The only reason they confessed their sins was because they knew they dogged God and Moes out. If nothing had ever happened, they would still have complained. God sent the fiery serpents and when they began killing them they repented. They got off light. Like us, we get off light with all kinds of stuff, because we do things the way we feel, but the Lord does not kill us. They had a selfish mentality acting like they were someone but they were nobody. They complained about everything. They complained about the things they suffered in Egypt and complained out in the wilderness. Now the one who saved you, you complained to because there is no food. That sounds like some people in the Church “I’ve given you my money, now what have you done with it?” The same people that say they have not food, their utilities about to be shut off, but every time there was time for an offering, you put nothing in a quarter or dollar, but you come to the church asking for a hundred times of that complaining that you can’t get any help. Maybe all the time you were in the Chruch, you put a total of maybe $100 dollars for the year, but you come to the church and say I can’t pay my house bill, utility bill, car note, I have no clothes or food. If the Church was a bank, they wouldn’t give you anything, because $100 is nothing compared to what your needs are. Your needs are always in the hundreds of dollars if not thousands. And you who only put a $100 in the church have the audacity to complain and wine that the church is not helping you. If the Church gives you back your $100, then you really have put nothing into the Church. The church is not for this, but to help the community and the people in it. Not all the money the church takes in is not for you. You’re supposed to be out doing service, we are helpers on to another. If the help is only on one side, then you kind of wonder, are your hands still raised or fallen to the side, and now your own the begging list. Stop your complaining, stop your whining, support the house of God so that your fellow brothers of sisters of the body of God needs will be met. That don’t mean I gave $1000 so I should be able to come back to the church x number of times until that money is used up. This is what the Church has become, people have made it into a bank and then throw a scripture in your face saying that’s what the church is for, to meet your needs. If everyone had needs

Stop your complaining, stop your whining, support the house of God so that your fellow brothers and sisters of the Body of God needs will be met. That doesn’t mean I gave $1000 so I should be able to come back to the church x number of times until that money is used up. This is what the Church has become, people have made it into a bank and then throw a scripture in your face saying that’s what the church is for, to meet your needs. If everyone had needs on the same time, there would be no money, and if there are not finances to give the people, they’d get made with the Pastor, accuse him and say he didn’t deal properly with the money. They become like the Children of Israel because their personal needs weren’t met. Instead of finding a solution they bring a problem, and when the problem was not resolved, they begin to bad mouth the Lord and His leader. This is what the church has come to today.  We have to realize that if we continue to whine and complain to the Lord about what we don’t have and what we want and start calling Him names and His men of God names, don’t be surprised if the Lord sends a fiery serpent in your home. That fiery serpent could be a disease, financial devastation, murder, whatever. Just be concerned not the complain and whine. The Lord already knows what we have need of. We get our needs confused with our wants and then try to explain our wants as our needs. The Bible says how long halt you between two opinions? If God be God serve Him if mamon service him. You can’t serve two masters and expect to be an active child ofGodd.

By the Leading of the Holy Ghost

The music of worship and praise played through the stereo as the congregation waited for Pastor Catron to arrive to give us a word from the Almighty God. He began to go right into teaching the word of God, speaking into the lives of everyone individually. By the time he knew it, much time had passed, and he suddenly exclaimed “I did not plan on talking about this, but the Holy Ghost has chosen to do this!” The Holy Ghost was using Pastor Catron to speak into our lives, giving us individual courage in the face of our individual needs and problems.

We were asked to turn in our Bibles to Matthew chapter 5: 1-10

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

In the face of serious problems we may be facing, because “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). 

This recently has become the motto of the congregation, as we put on “the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” Ephesians 6:11. Lately, the spiritual battle has been raging tough for we know that we “wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” Ephesians 6:12. Yet we are encouraged that the name of Jesus and the power of God through the Holy Ghost, can cast down demonic strongholds if we have faith in Jesus!

We were encouraged this morning in the face of adversity,confessing our “faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” James 5:16.

Where Do We Go From Here

Romans 12:1-12, 2 Corinthians 7:1-7, 1 Thessalonians 5, Ephesians 4:1-5

On this day, May the 23, where do you stand in Christ? Do you know your purpose, or God’s will  for your life? Have you taken the time to look back to see where you came from? Are you making preparation to not allow your past to become your future? Do you want to go back with him? Do you want to go through the tribulation period of Daniels 70 weeks?

1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

How long shall you deny the move of God upon your soul? How long shall you fight against the same old mess that bound you before? If God be God serve Him, but if your God is Mammon (The Aramaic word for riches, personified by Jesus as a false god) than serve it. There are many demigods. Listed in the resources tab on our website are a listed of gods spoken of in the Bible, that are still active in peoples lives today. Under different names, products; these gods are known as the gods of old.  The word of God tells us how long halt you between two opinions? The bible tells us concerning our salvation that there is no name under heaven by which we must be saved except at the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12).

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

People in faith, religion, and belief systems have watered down Christ or Yeshua in Hebrew, thereby taking away his validity, power and authority to govern the actions of men. It is their way of of not being held response and accountable for their sins. Its what we call their excuse not to serve God.

John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled:ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions:if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

The biggest question that we need to ask: are we in Him? If we’re not in him:
John 15:6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

You may be asking, how do I know if I am in Him or not? He mentions in the same chapter of John to know whether you are in him: John 15:1-2 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

The fruit is not melons nor mangoes nor bananas nor oranges in a basket, because you can get those anywhere; you can get organic fruit from whole foods. But its talking about the result of the hope that is in you testifying the word to those who would listen, changing their lives through the word of God. You can not talk to anyone and them not come to the word of God through your ministering. If you are in him you will love doing this. To know him is to love him and to love him is to serve him. So if Christ abides in you, then he will direct your path to the will he has for you to bring increase in the body. There is a certain excitement that goes when you witness about the hope and love in you for Christ. We need to understand that it is not about us, financial gain, having fun as the world does, but about delivering the Word of God to save men’s souls from themselves and from hell. I say again, once the word has been given to you what are you doing with it? He doesn’t want us to be zealous, but its for every man to recon to himself that he understands the word fully. We are to study to rightly divide the word of truth.

Just going around with a smile on your face saying you love the Lord and are excited about God is not telling someone you are saved. You have to show the people by the life, by your actions and walk. This will tell people if you are a child of God. In these days the word Christian has become synonymous with an evil things. They are trying in this society to eliminate the effectiveness more of being a Christian. True Children of God are Belivers, who walk by faith, not sight. The presence of God is forever in a Child of God’s life. He said he’d never leave nor for sake you. Sometimes it seems hard when we go through tests and trials and we want him to hold our hand non stop all the way through. When you were in school and it was time to take a test did your teacher stand beside you and give all the answers? In order for you to learn you have to go through on your own, but have faith the the resulting are going to be in your favor. Some people say its a faith walk; its more its a life walk.

That concludes this Sabbath day service. For those who have any questions kindly leave information at the end of the page. Next week we will do an end times study  on the Shemitah and the tribulation period.
