Confession of Faith - July 28, 2004

SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

CONFESSION

Series 2.7.28 - #209

July 28, 2004

I will go and prophesy these words: I am holiness unto God. All who attempt to devour me shall offend, and evil shall come upon them. Those who attack me have gone from God. It is needless for them to cry out unto him and say, "Where is the Lord that saved us in the past?" for he will not hear them. Their teachers and their preachers handle the word of God with deceit, and their prophets prophesy by another spirit. They walk after things that do not profit. I do not fear them, for they are being used by another spirit to make God's heritage an abomination; therefore, will he lead out from among them those who hear his voice. They are listening to another Jesus and speak with forked tongues of deceit.

They proclaim with their mouths that he is against his true anointed ones. They destroy the names of the innocent and exalt themselves in their sanctuaries. They have changed their glory for that which does not profit. God shall make them horribly afraid, and they shall become desolate. They have committed two evils. They have forsaken him, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. I do not fear them , neither do I turn to fight and exchange words with them, for their own wickedness shall correct them, and their backslidings shall reprove them. They have forsaken the Lord, the spirit of truth, and they shall learn that it is an evil thing and a bitter thing to forsake him, the Spirit that has sent prophecy. They have no fear in them, for they have exalted themselves above the knowledge of God.

They have turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto him. They have become workers of iniquity and cannot cleanse themselves with man-made cleansers and polluted communions. The soaps of their degenerate minds shall not cleanse them, for their iniquities are marked before God. Though they say, "I am not polluted. I have not gone after another Jesus, and I will not be turned away from the Lord." Yet, God says he will prepare to say unto them, "I know you not."

As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall those who fight against me. They shall be ashamed; they, their pastors, their princes, their leaders, and their prophets. From the first day that they set their mouths against me, they turned their backs unto God and not their face. Now in the time of their trouble, they shall call upon him and say, "Save us." He shall say unto them, "Let the Jesus who speaks against prophecy save you. Let him arise if he can save you in the time of your trouble." Trouble is coming upon the horizon of their lives. The Jesus who despises prophecy shall be silent as trouble raids their camp, for trouble shall come and devour their prophets and their pastors like a destroying lion.

I determine not to forget the spirit of truth as they have forgotten him and hewed out these broken cisterns. In their skirts, is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents. Though they say, "I am innocent, and the Lord's anger shall not come upon us." Though they say, "I have not sinned." They shall be found liars, for God shall reject their confidences, and they shall not prosper in them. He sent me unto them, and they rejected me, so he gave them up unto their own hearts' lust, and they walked in their own counsels. God sent them the finest of the wheat and honey out of his rock. They could have been satisfied in their souls had they submitted themselves unto him. He would have subdued their enemies and turned his hand against their adversaries.

Now, the devourer has come. He has entered in among them, and they shall be ravished and raped by the devourer. I rejoice not because of their captivity. Except by God's grace, this could have been me led away by the error of the wicked. I cry out to God for mercy. I weep between the porch and the altar for them, for they are my brothers and sisters who have been enticed to abandon the spirit of truth to follow the spirit of error, which is the spirit of antichrist. They have lost the respect that was once given to them. They attempt to trample under their feet their own children because their children believe in God's voice. I cannot have respect for this kind of mother. They have forsaken the places where their children once played and mocked the worship of the children that they birthed and gave suck. They have walked out on God, their husband, and the children that they say they loved. They shall be marooned on islands of darkness and stranded on desolate plains. The Lord shall take the children that they deserted and multiply them away from their presence. The abandoned children shall not die, for he has given them the living word to keep them strong and healthy. Though these children are spoken of as castaways and left forlorn, they shall be raised up without sadness and accepted in the beloved. Though they are treated as derelicts and abandoned by their mother, their fruit shall not be dilapidated. They shall find acceptance in a new place. I will go and speak these words in their ears.

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
