October 29, 2004 – GUARD YOUR HOUSE!
MATTHEW 24:43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE CARELESS ABOUT YOUR WALK WITH ME OR THINK THAT YOU CAN BREAK MY COMMANDMENTS WITH IMPUNITY (Exemption from punishment). THIS IS THE HOUR TO FOCUS ON MY KINGDOM AND MY PERFECT WILL FOR YOU THAT YOU MAY BE MADE HOLY AND READY FOR THE COMING ONSLAUGHT OF EVIL. ON ONE HAND THERE WILL BE GREAT REJOICING BY THE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO ARE BEHOLDING MY FACE AND AWAITING MY SPIRIT’S DIRECTION AND LEADING. THERE WILL BE GREAT SORROW UPON THE WORLD AND I WILL ADMONISH (caution) THOSE THAT ARE FOLLOWING THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD AND LISTENING TO HIS ENCHANTMENTS. THERE ARE THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE SAYING, “I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT THE LORD IS COMING SOON FOR YEARS” AND HE CERTAINLY HAS DELAYED HIS COMING. I SAY UNTO YOU, DO NOT BE SMUG ABOUT THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME MY WILL HAS BEEN SET. THE YEARS, THE HOURS AND MINUTES HAVE ALL BEEN CALCULATED TO MEET MY PERFECT WORK AND PERFECT WILL. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MIND OF GOD IF YOU ARE NOT LOOKING EXPECTANTLY FOR MY APPEARING. I SAY UNTO YOU, THIS IS THE TIME OF MY “AWAKENING” BEFORE MY APPEARING. IF YOU ARE NOT AWAKE AND READY YOU WILL MISS MY COMING. MATTHEW 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, (AND ALL OF YOU WHO DO NOT HEED MY WORDS UNTO YOU) you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
ARE YOU DRESSED AND READY FOR THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB? ~Marriage of the Lamb REVELATION 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.) 9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” YOU ARE ALL INVITED, BUT MY SCRIPTURE DECLARES THAT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST MUST MAKE HERSELF READY. YOU WILL NOT ENTER THE MARRIAGE SUPPER IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ON THE PROPER WEDDING GARMENT (The rob of the righteous acts). MATTHEW 22:11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. MATTHEW 22:13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
MY BELOVED, I AM NOT TRYING TO FRIGHTEN YOU, I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH OF THE HOUR IN WHICH YOU LIVE. HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT I EXPECT AND WHAT YOU MUST BELIEVE IF YOU DO NOT REGULARLY READ MY WORD? YOU MUST CHOOSE TO BE MINE AND BELIEVE MY WORD. IT IS BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR YOU THAT I WENT TO THE CROSS TO ATONE FOR YOUR SINS AND TO PURCHASE YOUR FREEDOM FROM SIN. THE FINE LINEN, BRIGHT AND CLEAN IS THE GARMENT YOU WILL BE GIVEN FOR RIGHTEOUS LIVING THROUGH CHRIST AND OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS. YOU CAN ONLY BE READY AND ATTEND MY SUPPER IF YOU CHOOSE ME TO BE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. MY SPIRIT WILL TEACH YOU AND PERFECT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. IF YOU ARE HEARING MY VOICE AND SAYING IN YOUR HEART, “I NEED TO COME, BUT I WILL AWAIT ANOTHER DAY”. I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH THAT TODAY IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION. DO NOT PUT IT OFF, IT MAY BE TOO LATE. WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO ATTEND AN IMPORTANT WEDDING, DON’T YOU REQUIRE TIME TO GET READY? YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TIME AND PLACE AND ADDRESS AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT “NOW” IS THE TIME AND THE PLACE OF PREPARATION IS IN YOUR HEART. HEAVEN IS THE ADDRESS OF THE WEDDING SUPPER. YOU ALONE HAVE THE KEY TO YOUR HEART AND I AM STANDING TODAY AT YOUR HEART’S DOOR ASKING YOU TO LET ME IN AND TO TAKE ME AS LORD OF YOUR LIFE FOR NOW AND ALL ETERNITY. REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND ASK ME FOR FORGIVENESS AND I WILL WASH YOU WHITE AS SNOW. YOUR SINS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE. YOU MUST STAY TRUE TO YOUR VOWS AND ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL AND JOIN THE RIGHTEOUS IN OVERCOMING THE UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE WORLD. IF YOU ARE A LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN YOUR LAMP COULD GO OUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAILED TO KEEP ENOUGH OF THE OIL OF MY SPIRIT IN YOUR LAMPS. YOU ARE TO BE MY LIGHT AND EXEMPLIFY MY LOVE AND CARING FOR THE WEAK AMONG YOU. MY SPIRIT WILL LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU INTO ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH. YOU WILL LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE YOUR BEING IN ME. ACTS 17:28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ JOHN 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
THE HOUR IS GETTING LATE. IT IS GOING TO BE EXCEEDINGLY LIGHT FOR MY CHILDREN THAT ARE LIVING AND MOVING IN ME, AND EXCEEDINGLY DARK FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ARE DELIBERATELY WALKING IN THE DARKNESS OF THE WORLD AND ITS PRINCE (SATAN). I AM “PERFECT LOVE” AND ANY FATHER THAT WOULD NOT WARN HIS CHILDREN OF IMPENDING DANGER WOULD NOT HAVE PERFECT LOVE. MATTHEW 24:36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION THAT YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF IS: HOW MANY MORE DAYS OR YEARS DO YOU HAVE TO LIVE BEFORE YOU MUST FACE THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE OF YOUR LIFE – ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST OR ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD? IT COULD BE A MATTER OF MINUTES OR YEARS. WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY WITH ME OR WITH SATAN AND HIS MINIONS? HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL YOU INFLUENCE TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS? MY BELOVED CHILDREN IT MATTERS WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE NOT ONLY FOR YOUR SAKE, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE WATCHING YOUR LIFE. I LOVE YOU AND I AM NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO RECEIVE MY LOVE AND BLESSING. 2PETER 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 1PETER 2:7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone,” 8 and, “A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the message – which is also what they were destined for. MATTHEW 12:30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
LIFE TRULY BEGINS AND ENDS IN CHRIST IN ORDER TO BE TRULY BLESSED AND SUCCESSFUL, (EVEN BY THE WORLD’S STANDARDS). MARK 8:36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? WHEN WE EXIT THIS WORLD, THE ONLY THING THAT WE CAN TAKE WITH US IS THE REWARDS WE WILL RECEIVE IN HEAVEN FOR OUR RIGHTEOUS WORDS AND DEEDS. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF “ACTING” LIKE WE BELIEVE IN CHRIST, BUT IT IS A MATTER OF “BEING” LIKE CHRIST IN OUR HEART AND THE ATTITUDES AND ACTIVITIES OF OUR LIFE. MATTHEW 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
A word to the readers of “Manna From On High”:
I have lived and experienced Christ in trials and tests, in impossible situations (that only God could remedy and make victorious), through sorrow and grief and almost every situation life on earth provides. Christ’s truth expresses it best….JOHN 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” ACTS 14:22b “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. I attest to the fact that God is truly faithful and as we walk by faith and trust in him, he supplies all of our needs in Christ Jesus. I have found that He bountifully supplies more than I could ask or think. I would not trade the closeness and God’s love that I have experienced for all of the riches of Satan’s kingdom. My LORD owns the cattle on a thousand hills and the gold and silver in every mine, and he shares his bounty and riches with his children. The experiences (dreams, visions and conversations) and his close fellowship mean more to me than any riches the world has to offer. Truly Christ gives us an abundant life and peace and joy to seal the blessings. If only I could make you understand what you are missing if you do not have the joy and fellowship God gives us as one of His children. In Christ’s love I ask you to experience God in your life through His son and Holy Spirit. If you have not invited Him to enter your life, you are missing the blessings of the fullness and richness of his presence. REVELATION 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Invite him to enter your life and live your life through Christ.. 1TIMOTHY 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, (OR OLDER) but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 2TIMOTHY 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
Anita.
