Jumping from the Highest Platform into the Deepest Water

Hosted by Saint 701 ... This forum is for the purpose of examining the subject of Grace and its great place in God's work in the body of Christ Jesus of which we are a part. "The Book of Romans" was chosen for the title since that book is so rich in Grace to us, but in no way is this forum limited in examining Grace to only the "Book of Romans."

Jumping from the Highest Platform into the Deepest Water

Hello All,

*AngelYellow*
Blessings!

Nothing like risk taking....sky diving, bungee jumping, hang gliding, mountain climbing.....texting while driving!

But those spiritual take risks too. We don't hear much about them. Exorcisms or rites of deliverance or power ministries with signs and wonders just do not make front page news. But these people exist and impact our society each and every single day. Oh well, we say, such is just Kingdom of Heaven business and not our concern. Why not?

We have had our Finneys and Spurgeons and Wesleys and Grahams and Robertsons and Hagins and a host of others but as yet we have not had the Elijahs and Enochs! But they are coming! If not already among us..., and when we see them we will know the day we live in is a time of trouble, one of torment for those so deserving, a time like no other, and one that shall never come upon the world again.

Matt.8

[29] And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?(Bible, KJV).

It wasn't their time then, but it is now.

Now we will begin to see these fierce Men of God among us. We will see them afflicting malevolent spirits and demons, the spirit of anti-Christ, and a host of other higher rulers and powers that go unseen yet roam around us each and every single day. We will hear demons screaming out for mercy as these fierce warriors turn the tables and do the tormenting of our tormentors.

They will not need a team of 10 priests or a host of others gathered together serving the Kingdom of Heaven in a deliverance ministry. It will just be the two of them with Jesus in their midst. Its that day folks, and it is that time. Are you ready for the coming of the Lord of Lord and King of Kings? When He went to the cross He said if this world was His Kingdom at that time He would fight. It wasn't then, but even now His Kingdom is pressing in on this old earth as it is soon to be His Kingdom and He will send His warriors of His Kingdom ahead of His coming.

Let us not forget, by definition, he that is a Jew, is one whose circumcision of the heart, not of the letter as by the law of Moses.
Rom.2

[29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Bible, KJV).

Rev.7

1. [3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
2. [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Of the sealing..remember, The Kings Signet is applied signifying His power and authority. Although few of us are prepared to see such Sons of God turning the world upside down as once did the Apostles, is it not the time and the day of their sealing? Or our Lord's coming we neither know the day or hour, but before him comes Elijah to turn the hearts of the Fathers to the sons and daughters, and vice versa.

Also coming, if not already among us are His 2 witnesses.

Rev.11

[3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (Bible, KJV).

Are we ready to see the tormentors being tormented? We shall see. Such is for those willing to jump from the highest platform into the deepest water. Are they among us? We shall see.

Hello Saint,

God bless you this day.

Saint, you have given us much to think about and meditate on with The Lord. Thank you, Saint.

You said:
When He went to the cross He said if this world was His Kingdom at that time He would fight.


John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. (KJV)

I like how this scripture reads in the New American Standard Bible version.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." (NASB)

...not of this realm. That word "realm" Dings within my spirit.

In talking about the Two Witnesses, yes they will be here and will prophecy 1260 days, simultaneous to the reign of antichrist, 1,260 days. (the following scripture is about antichrist) Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (42 months is equal to 1260 days)

Then, after the 2 witnesses have preached for 1,260 days...Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.


And after they lay dead in the streets for 3 1/2 days...
Revelation 11:11-12 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. (12) And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.


Whether the Two Witnesses be in the form of Elijah or Enoch or John the Baptist, Zerubbabel or another, we and they know that it is all for God's purpose, and that He loves us all. The time of antichrist's reign will be a difficult time, with great tribulation. The time of God's wrath will cleanse the land.

Christ Jesus told His Apostles and disciples:
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.


And each time His enemies sought to take hold of Jesus by force, before the designated time, He escaped. Because there was, indeed, a designated time in which Jesus would lay His life down, of His own accord.
John 10:17-18 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again. (18) No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.

Jesus did not leave us without.
Matthew 16:18-19 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will built My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (19) And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


Matthew 24:45-46 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? (46) Blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

I agree with you, Saint, the time is coming. People get ready, Jesus is coming.

Luke 10:19-20 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (20) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, He added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

Luke 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

Jesus is coming back, soon.

Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Mack's definition of the word "Occupy": go about doing The Lord's business by the resources entrusted to us, by Him.

Matthew 11:2-5 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, (3) And said unto Him, Art Thou He that should come, or do we look for another? (4) Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: (5) The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.

Jesus is Lord. Thank You Lord for loving us.

God bless and keep you.
Love,
Mack

Hello Sister Mack, All,

*AngelYellow*
Blessings!

I love you so very, very much! What an awesome and enlightening response to this post you gave! As always, the Lord bless you and keep you, make His countenance to shine upon you...but even more so now for all that water their thirsty souls here, as we are citizens of our Lord's Kingdom, (The House of David), and in as such there is no end to the increase of His Kingdom, (Household), may there be no end to that blessing of increase upon us as we abide in Him.

*AngelYellow*
Blessings!
