From: "Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God" To: Subject: A worm Date: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 12:08 PM Dear Friends: Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. A little while ago, I received a phone call from my husband stating planes had been plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was at work and asked me to turn on the news--those that know me, know that I don't watch hellivision at all--I turned it on to the news and saw the billowing smoke. My thoughts at first went to crazy Islam. I know they haven't pinpointed the who and why but that was the first thinking in my head--and I am sure I am not alone. Jihad is their word for "holy war" (oxymoron) and it is in their fake, counterfeit unholy book. See http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/islam.htm But the Lord took my mind BEYOND who did it and what they think the reason is. He made me look at America. Just like the Israelites in the wilderness, the people have sat down to eat and drink and have rose up TO PLAY. We live deliciously in this country. I've got some fat juicy prawns in my refrigerator right now just waiting for me to steam them and dip them in butter. Then I'll serve them with what I like. Fulness of bread can provide danger for you--it can be your lifestyle and you will find your god is in your BELLY! Carnal mind, just looking for what will satisfy YOU and not what will satisfy the Lord. I fast every week lest I fall into the trap of Sodom-- Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, THIS WAS THE INIQUITY OF THY SISTER SODOM, PRIDE, FULNESS OF BREAD, AND ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS WAS IN HER and in her daughters, NEITHER DID SHE STRENGTHEN THE HAND OF THE POOR AND NEEDY. This is America--and a lot of people that profess Christ. Ain't doing nothing but consuming all they got on their own lusts. Professed Christians not willing to make a sacrifice in the name of Jesus much less submitting their whole body a living sacrifice. Don't hardly know the word, have no idea what their spiritual gifts are, never helped nobody, Mama and Daddy both working, the family watching hellivision (and PAYING for cable), going to the movie theatre, reading secular novels, kids in public school, etc. Go to church every week and have no knowledge of the holy. I am working on a Christian Family Page. Lord willing, I will notify the list when it is done. Sometimes folks will write and ask how "I" do all this. I do not. These are not my ideas. The Lord told me in my prayer time about doing this family page. Writing about the family is not my big interest. At this time, I like studying Christian/Bible history and have a recent interest in learning about Bible lands and geography. I also have many wonderful volumes that I wish to read. But I often find the Lord telling me to do something else for a particular season. And what He orders is right and perfect. Right now, the family is at the forefront. We must be led by the Spirit, not our human being mind. *********** In this kamikaze rage, the Lord hath prepared a worm. A hellbound worm, but a worm to shake the people up-- I hope people are scared to death. In my personal study time I am nearing the end of Jeremiah. The Lord refered to Nebuchadnezzar as his "servant". Nebuchadnezzer, the King of Babylyon, was not some bastion of righteousness--God's wrath eventually came on Babylon too--but God USED Nebuchadnezzer to whoop up on a disobedient, rebellious, lawless, idol-worshipping, silly nation. The people still did not return to the Lord. They kept persisting in their rebellion. The Lord had Jeremiah to tell them to turn--then they would not die. But the people didn't listen to Jeremiah. He was thrown in a pit to die, thrown in prison, basically kidnapped, and mistreated for telling the truth--EVEN AFTER all the prophesy was fulfilled. You'd think they'd say, "It came to pass as Jeremiah said. We better get right." BUT NO--THEY KEPT GOING IN REBELLION. I'm sure scores of people are dead as a result of today's incident, but I am not expecting that most will even recognize that the Lord hath prepared a worm. Most professed Christians won't even recognize it. They'll just say, "How dare these people attack America!" This is bigger than simple-minded America. God hath prepared a worm just as he did for Jonah-- Jonah 4:7 But GOD PREPARED A WORM when the morning rose the next day, AND IT SMOTE THE GOURD that it withered. God prepared this worm to teach Jonah a lesson--these kamikaze worms are teaching a different lesson, but they are prepared and teaching a lesson nonetheless. Be idle, fill up yourself with your eating, drinking and playing. Continue to rebel against the God of heaven, the God of the Bible--and utter destruction and desolation shall be your attendants. They will wait on you just like a waiter in a restaurant. They will serve you up some destruction that you WON'T be able to handle. We need to hear, consider, and lay these things to heart. ****************** Aside: Did you know that people are not always what they appear to be? Did you know that someone's words can be smoother than butter but war can be in his heart? That his words can be softer than oil, yet be drawn swords? (ref Ps 55:21) All we can see is the outside. But did you know that the Holy Ghost can see their heart and their intentions? If you are led by the Spirit, He will impress upon you who you should be with. He will protect you from evil men as you minister before His great name. This truth has been impressed upon me in recent days when I received shocking news that I will not go into. I must render thanks unto God for His watchcare and protection. Stay close the Lord and you will be alright even in the midst of these last and evil and wicked days. Church people are some of the most treacherous you'll ever have contact with. They delivered King Jesus to Pilate and that same evil spirit continues influencing hypocrites today. But as the word says, "Even the wrath of man shall praise thee." As a result of my many hurts, I have grown stronger in the Lord. Tribulation is a friend of patience and hope (see Rom 5)--but only if you are saved. Tribulation worketh impatience in the natural man. But for saved people, the Lord sanctifies every adversity that comes to us. For that reason we can say with the Psalmist, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes." To God be the glory. Even the WRATH of man shall praise thee. Glory be to God. I am praying for a worldwide revival of God's people. May we turn the world upside down the way the apostles did. The whole world won't get saved but they'll get convicted and the harvest will be brought in. May we be willing to go down to the blood. God bless all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. for Jesus' sake, tracy ----- http://www.jesus-is-lord.com Ezekiel 2:4,6 ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84whs.a9jehS Or send an email To: jesus-is-lord-unsubscribe@topica.com This email was sent to: tracy@jesus-is-lord.com T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
