It's Time !!!

 ²⁵ A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, ²⁶ “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.

 ²⁸ “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? ²⁹ Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. ³⁰ They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’

 ³¹ “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? ³² And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. ³³ So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

The Master Gardner Himself Jesus Christ is now surveying the fruit on the tree.

He is sending forth the sickle to prune away those who have not heard HIs voice and those who have allowed their calloused heart to be their guide.

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

⁶ He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. ⁷ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’ ⁸ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. ⁹ And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that^[a] you can cut it down.’”

Tasteless Salt Is Worthless

³⁴ “Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? ³⁵ It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

He is throwing out the SALT who has become worthless and tasteless to Him.

The time of sifting has come, and we as the church of the Living God must shake ourselves into action and repent for our selfish ways and deeds of self righteousness to build our own kingdoms on earth.

Take the Lowly Place

 ⁷ When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: ⁸ “When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? ⁹ The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!

 ¹⁰ “Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. ¹¹ For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

 ¹² Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. ¹³ Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. ¹⁴ Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.”

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem

 ³⁴ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! ³⁵ See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly,^[f] I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

¹⁸ Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? ¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large^[c] tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

The Parable of the Leaven

²⁰ And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? ²¹ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures^[d] of meal till it was all leavened.”

The Parable of the Great Supper

¹⁵ Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who shall eat bread^[c] in the kingdom of God!”

¹⁶ Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, ¹⁷ and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ ¹⁸ But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ ¹⁹ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ ²⁰ Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ ²¹ So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’ ²² And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ ²³ Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. ²⁴ For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’”

For you have become as stink in the nostrils of God, as you seek to build kingdoms for yourself in His name.

You have allowed other things to take you away from His purpose...His plan.

Your heart is far from Him!!!  And oh! how he longs for you to have His heart...but you have closed your ears from hearing His truth and you have closed your eyes from seeing His way.

The Narrow Way

²² And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. ²³ Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”

And He said to them, ²⁴ “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. ²⁵ When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ ²⁷ But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ ²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. ²⁹ They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. ³⁰ And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

^{Bro. Hall used to say all the time.we are all going to be surprised to see who makes it to heaven.  He also was one who lived out the example of forsaking all to follow Christ.} 

^{Oh !! God!! My heart is so heavy as I bow down in humility in the words I write to you today...for surely the Spirit of The Lord has taken me over, to send out a message of repentance..................}

^{Judgement is coming...The sword of judgement is in His hand and}

^{we must repent....where is your burden sayeth the Lord???}

^{I have blessed you with churches and it is not enough..you want to build bigger churches...I have blessed you with homes and it is not enough, you want to build bigger homes...I have blessed you with cars and it is not enough...you want to have more luxurious cars..}

^{There is no wrong in having these things my children, but when it becomes more important than speaking my truths and carrying out}

 ^{my words and living them before men, you have allowed idolatry to come into your hearts.}

^{What does this benefit me saith the Lord, how does your riches  benefit my kingdom... if you do not use them wisely...when there are many, many, souls who are lost, hungry, naked, and thirsty, sick and in prison, to abuse and to addictions, and to ungodly spirits, that  my children have just looked the other way, you have allowed your heart to be caloused and your ears deaf and your eyes blinded.}

^{You have lost your burden to do my will, and you have become relaxed in the blessings I have given you and allowed them to deter you away from my call.}

^{I am not pleased saith the Lord....Repent !! I say Repent!! Do not follow in the footsteps of religion but seek to hear my heart......}

Seek to work for something that will last... reach souls, lay a legacy for something that will count at the end of your life..these houses and all the wealth you accumalate is going to pass away, its going to be gone and what has it done to bring glory to my name...nothing!!! But hear me this day!! 

A kingdom minded believer builds his treasure where the heart of his Father is...in bringing salvation to those who need salvation, food to the hungry and visiting those who are sick, you have missed it somewhere along the way, children you have missed it... these things are all that will count in the end.

For there is a path of service I am calling you to my children.....

A path where no foot has ever preceded you in this place....

For it is a deeper place in me, no man has ever gone before, and it is a place I'm calling you to today...As you take my hand we will walk into a greater committment and as you let go of the things of this world that have hindered you from me I will give you deeper insight and a complete revelation of Myself.

Mathew 25

 ³¹ “But when the Son of Man^[d] comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. ³² All the nations^[e] will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

 ³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. ³⁶ I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

 ³⁷ “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? ³⁹ When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

 ⁴⁰ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,^[f] you were doing it to me!’

 ⁴¹ “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.^{[g] 42} For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. ⁴³ I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’

 ⁴⁴ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’

 ⁴⁵ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’

 ⁴⁶ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

When you have given up everything, we will be able to go forth together and you will experience an inner power that you have never had before.

For I have many glorious things to reveal to you, but you must pay the price.

The price of treasuring, reverencing, and living in " the message "   ....my message....   For TRUTH is always straightforward and it is my TRUTH that will perfect your own righteousness, but I must do it for you...and I need your repentance and your desire to be HOLY...For surely I will answer when you call saith the Lord, and I am working on your heart with all patience and gentleness and I will not stop until your heart has been perfected in Me......

It is my desire to complete you my children, to draw you into the place of my destiny for you...I am calling you forth my child,

Son's and Daughters of the LIVING GOD...I'm calling your name!

COME FORTH MY CHILD!! COME FORTH !!!

It's TIME, For you to come forth..Son's and Daughters of

the LIVING GOD!!!!  IT'S TIME!!!    IT'S TIME!!!
