Today is the day...
About Me: For years I prayed God would get me into His best Bible college! Suddenly, in 1999 He answered by allowing me to be sent to prison for a crime I most certainly did NOT commit. There the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ began to speak more intimately with me, educating me personally, just as He did in the early days with His Apostles Peter, John and Paul, when they were prisoners! Glory to God! Therefore now I know I am blessed, recognizing I have been better-equipped than many of His other servants, grounded in His Word, Spirit filled, anointed to counsel, teach and write. The Lord has led me through and delivered me from many trials. At present, my trials include morbid obesity, heart disease and diabetes; and satan continues to try and persuade me that God's plans for me suck! But God IS Good and I trust Him! Read my credentials at 2nd Corinthians 3: 4, 5 and 6. Email me at JerusalemHill@live.com
Today is the day,
June 27th, just over one month since my Mom left her failing body behind "to be with the Lord where He is!" And I'm still getting used to the idea I don't need to pick up the phone to talk with her anymore.
Because of some expected controversy, she and I had agreed I should wait until this time after her passing to begin sharing some of the revelations The Holy Spirit of Jesus has given to me. And now I'm waiting, listening for Him to tell me what to say, when to say it and how to say it.
Generally the message is about the need for believers to seek His Spirit for guidance so that they may distinguish between God's Truth (the genuinely good news in Christ Jesus) and the false traditions which have come down to us over many centuries from the apostate, the "fallen away," the "synagogue of satan," which calls itself the church but isn't!
I shared this much of the message with Pastor Jerry and Sister Tammy Bates back in 2002 when I returned to Parke County from God's "best Bible college." We talked about the meaning of Jesus' parable about the tares (false wheat) and the real wheat growing up side by side until He comes for the harvest. (See in Matthew 13: 25 - 27.) More recently I tried to alert our Wednesday night Bible study group to the prophecies of Jesus Himself regarding the true church and the false church, which are found in the book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3; but clearly I was stepping out ahead of the Lord's timing and made myself appear pretty foolish!
Foolishness is the absence of wisdom from heaven caused by failing to wait upon the Lord, and I have often been drenched in it! And one of my fondest recent memories is of Mom and I laughing over this foolishness, one of many secrets we shared about my ministry. I can imagine her now, today, face-to-face with Our Lord and recalling that time of laughter between us. Ah, Yes, Today is the day which the Lord has made! I am glad and rejoicing in it, along with my Mom!
