CHAPTER 17 (3 of 10)

OBEDIENCE, BEING ONE WITH GOD

-

Has God answered Jesus’ prayer?  Yes, but only in and through the life of those who throughout the centuries have yielded all their life as Jesus the "Son of Man" yielded all His life to God's full desires and expectations for their lives; these Believers, God has used, and is continuing to use, such as these, today, to turn or begin to turn, the world "right side up" for Christ.  My words are so feeble, when trying to share the depth, reality, and truth about what I have tried in few words, the truth, about how very few who profess to be Christians actually please God and walk in heavenly places in Christ Jesus to the depth that God requires of us. 

-

Many Christians have yet to know what being One with God is really like, and continue moment by moment to be One with Him.  As I have written, “It is within the reach of everyone of us, if only we will seek the revealing of this truth from God, then receive it and run with it, pursue it with all our life." God will not effectively use us, as He desires, until we die totally to our desires to do His only and always; when we do this continually, it causes us to become One with Him and He One with us. Continual fasting can be done even when doing our life responsibilities; we do not have to be commissioned Prophets, Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers to be the example of Jesus' death to self will to the world around us.

-

The Lord has shown me how I can be One with Him, as well as how to continue to be One with Him, I call it "continual fasting."  Sounds simple doesn't it? But, O the blessedness! Not only this but also the great help of God that is bestowed on us, and the mighty power of God that will be manifested in and through our life, which will give us the full ability to not only be One with God, but also continue to be One with Him. Jesus taught that when He went away we need to fast, and clearly not everyone can do the aggressive form of “continual fasting” I am sharing about but we can make a weekly habit to do some time of fasting, it is the effort that God will honor to take us deeper more intimate with Him and to be more effective testimonies of the life of Jesus in and through our life.

-

It is difficult for me to clearly and simply tell you what has been happening in my soul, but how tremendous the jubilation. There is a continual joy in my voice and tone of rejoicing in my life, which I have even yet the more to experience.  I am persuaded of God that I will experience it. My definition of “continual fasting” is, fasting more than eating, which is fasting every day, whether all day or part of the day.  I am not talking about dieting or a matter of missing some meals; I am talking about actually and all altogether fasting weekly as a common part of our life.  If I would stop this, it could signal the beginning of my departure to a lesser degree from this wonderful place of total fellowship and Oneness that I experience through the Holy Spirit with Jesus and His Father Almighty God.

****** RISE UP O MEN OF GOD ******

-

Rise up O men of God! Have done with lesser things, give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings.

-

Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long; bring in the brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

-

Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait. Her strength unequal to her task; rise up, and make her great!

-

Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod; as brothers of the Son of man, rise up, O men of God!

The need of the world today is crying out for the true children of God to live the example of Jesus in and through our lives, to be tangible proof of the truth and reality that there is a God in heaven and in the world today. The world is wanting proof that there is actually an Only Begotten Son of God, who lived, died for our sins which we have committed against God to be forgiven, to be rendered righteous, and rose from the grave with power and majesty to signify to the world that by virtue of His resurrection Jesus alone has been declared with power He is the Son of God and the only hope for the salvation of humanity (Romans 1:4, 8:19, Titus 1:2). How will the world know unless all of us who make up the true body of Christ repent of our slothfulness, slumber, deadliness of spirit, and playing church, to be about doing Father's business; His desires and His alone?

My Facebook Timeline - www.facebook.com/samuelsiders1 - contains responses I have posted in answer to those who God has had me to share with for over seventeen years on Facebook Forums created to share the Scriptures. My activity about sharing the Word of God with Muslims, other false Cults, and with those who profess to be Christian continues; this open door that the Lord has made available to me as an Apologist/Teacher is one where worldwide opportunities are made available to all English speaking people around the world from many different countries, races, and religious beliefs.

It is WRITTEN in 1 Peter 3:15 … “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" God wants us to know AND understand His Word (2 Timothy 2:15), “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Jude 3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend [Gr. agonize with fervent zeal] for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

Muslims always like to misuse and misinterpret Scripture in the Bible to agree with their deceptions. It is not uncommon with Muslims see the mention of their homeland in the Old Testament they Falsely believe the prophesy is about them when it is solely about Israel.

-

This past week I had a discussion with a Muslim name Mohsen about Isaiah chapter 60, he believing that all nations of world would come to Mecca to do sacrifice their altars since altars are there not in Jerusalem. After a few responses explaining to Mohsen his interpretation is false, because it is an end time prophecy for when Jerusalem would have altars to do sacrifice - as a form of worship - onto Almighty God and Jesus from all nations – not – in Mecca. What follows is the response I posted for Mohsen

Mohsen M ... You are still choosing to be blind and unlearned. The beginning verses of Isaiah 60:1-9 is talking about the coming of Jesus and Israelis return to the Land God promised Abraham for the descendants of Isaac which was therefore through Jacob that began in 1948.

-

There is information that there is preparation for a Temple to be built in Jerusalem to resume the animal sacrifices, and that before Jesus second coming the False Messiah (Antichrist) will enter that Temple to proclaim he is God, at which time all the disasters and plagues mentioned the Book of Revelation will begin to be poured out throughout the world causing the death of a few Billion or more people.

-

After Jesus returns the second time is when Sacrifices in Jerusalem will begin again - not - for sins to be forgiven but as a form of worship to both Almighty God and His Son Jesus in Jerusalem, and that ALL nations will Also come to offer sacrifices of worship on the Temple Altar in Jerusalem, which therefore will also include ALL Arab countries, this is when Isaiah 60:7 about flocks of Kedar and rams of Nebaioth will be sacrificed which Zechariah 14:16-21 also teaches - in Jerusalem – not – in Mecca, and You are Deceived to believe differently so to remain the Deceiver you have chosen to be.
