Husband Update.

Roy never wants to go back to the hospital. He was so tortured there, sometimes needlessly. The blasted main doctor refuses pain meds for him, except for 2 vicodin a day, which is the same dose he has been taking for years for his medical issues. At the hospital, the nurses were upset that the doctor would not give Roy additional pain meds.He needs them, they are available, but the doctor will not let Roy have them. Alternatives might be coming his way. Anything to make him comfortable. We have had offers of a supply if he wants to go there.
Roy is taking alternative natural treatments with supplements that hopefully will slow down the cancer. Chemo will not work, but the one doctor has really been pushing it, even though the other one said it will do no good at this stage.That doctor is telling the truth, as I researched extensively, and there is no difference in the time left if treatment was done.Roy said he wants quality, not quantity.He refuses chemo and has refused the bone scan. All of Roy's lymph nodes are swollen. there is no doubt that it is in his bones too, because of the bone pain he is experiencing.
Roy is still spitting up and coughing out blood.He has told us that if he goes down again, that he doesn't want us to call the ambulance, to let him die at home.
We have a lot of legal/financial things to do. We have various papers that will be filled out and notarized. The notary will come to our house.
Spiritually, I am working on him. One of my friends suggested that I really push Roy, but there is no way I am going to hound him and push him away.I am praying for his salvation, and weaving the spiritual aspect into our conversations when I feel it is appropriate.

I will update when I can, my friends.Thank you for the prayers.

Exodus 20:17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Micah 2:Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Philemon 10I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 15For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Job 40:Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,2Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. 3Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 4Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

Hebrews 2:1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Galatians 6:Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Repeat Micah 2:1Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Micah 1:2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. 3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.

Obadiah 1:10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

Philemon 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 16Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Job 42:10And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Hosea 14:O israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. 3 Ashur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. 5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found. 9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Jeremiah 51:58Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary

Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

Ezekiel 2:6And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 7And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

1 Chronicles 21:13And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the Lord; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. 17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. 18 Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Ephesians 4: I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

1 Kings 1:50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword. 52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.

Repeat Micah 2:Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Job 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 10 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 12Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. 14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: 11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Daniel 1:8But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

Jonah 3:10And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

2 Kings 14:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did. 4Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

Philemon 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; 19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. 20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 21Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

Job 36:16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. 17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. 18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. 19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. 20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. 21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Jeremiah 16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Habakkuk 2:9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! 10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. 11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!

Job 42:12So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:

We can assume we are not understanding to not covet and what it really is. To covet is to want something for self or selfishly. To want something selfishly ,is the easiest sin to commit on earth. We are here for one purpose to help fulfill Acts 26:18. It is sad that Oneimus had to runaway from that group found in Philemon, to find salvation, great message in that. He was a slave not a brother to those he returned to, Paul ask he become a brother. God shows us so many things in the story of Job but we are being corrected about coveting. Job was ok when he lost family , riches and all he had. He started questioning God when his body was tortured. David wanted his body saved in 1 Chronicles 21. We are to not covet anything including our lives or our human flesh. Galatians 6, tells us we are to help each other not sin but we covet our lives in this generation more so than we understand. Job went through a long hard correction by God to be saved. We live in a time we do not want Paul's in our coveted lives correcting us.
Violence and sin of any kind comes from coveting. It was not accepted in Obidiah and after the Cross there is zero tolerance for it. It did not matter to The Lord who coveted ,it was punished from Israel , Babylon, Job , David and Saul now Paul. We see in those lives what earthly things cause is to covet. Power , status, wealth, land, people , religion and life on earth.
Every thing was to be centered around that day coming in Hebrews 1:9-12 comes. Job knew it was coming but forgot. David knew it was coming but forgot and Solomon knew it was coming but forgot. Jeremiah 16 ,was to remind Israel why God took away the first covenant and we all got the new. From the Garden to this very day, it was always about obedience not anything or anyone else. The Nations and people around the world have coveted people , places and things that have perished and will perish. Hebrews 1 is very clear God loves righteousness and hates sin, we were to keep each other from what He hates and understand that is true love.

Covetousness that lead to all sin ,hides as Job shows us in places we would never have dreamed. When God's wind blew over part of that coveted wall along Mexico , I smiled. Nothing absolutely nothing was ever ours, not even our bodies. That is what the Cross should have reminded everyone of everyday. We can not be Daniel and say no to what brings death , if we want anything for ourselves. He could have died for that refusal, that is what true faith is. Want and desire nothing from this day forward ,except eyes to be opened and all people in every Nation turn from darkness to Light.
Let satan have his kingdoms they were given to him long ago...Antarctic glaciers are melting from warm water below , earth is perishing. The Lords signs and wonders of warning, will stop one day, listen , watch and have your lamps ready...We can not show others ,like Daniel did , the power of God , the Light of Jesus if we are part of any sin and what He hated and hates.

Judges 7:7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. 8So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

2 Chronicles 15:And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 6And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

Jeremiah 5:25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.


I love the story of Gideon , it should remind us today as it did then, we do nothing without the power of God. If you do not know the story of Gideon please read Judges 6 through 8.
2 Chronicles 15: is very clear “The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.”

Then Jeremiah 5 tells us what sin cost. When the people of the past forgot Whose power wins battles, they were always reminded. We are in a time nations take much pride in our weapons and armies. We pray to a God that can wipe out an entire nation with” a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. “ When we forget this we will be reminded. The Spirit of God was with Gideon and Azariah. Jesus left us with the Holy Spirit of God and if we have faith of a mustard seed , we can move a mountain. They and we never needed man made weapons ... God has weapons that will melt and destroy anything ,anyone ever created...Never have pride in anything and trust in the God , Gideon trusted in that night...

Judges 6:1And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 2And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.6And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.

Acts 23:2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? 4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? 5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

Hebrews 1:8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Zephaniah 2:Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; 2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you. 3Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.

Lamentations 3:7 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? 38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? 39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? 40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. 41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. 42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. 43 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. 44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. 45Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

1 Thessalonians 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

Job 14:Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 3 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

When we go to the Word of God to find or read what we want , we lose the whole meaning of the Word of God. There have been and will be those called till the end of this time , those God called to let us know what He wants us to know in His Word. We always go self paths, we had to always know what He is saying, He knows all things. They had to fight pleasing men with the Word of God in Lamentations , Thessalonians and today even more so. Paul knew what Daniel knew about earthly kings , they are God's business. We serve “Hebrews 1:8But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. “
The way we know how to do that , was to know and understand first we are not worthy and never make the Word about us ,but how to follow our King...

Conclusion

Isaiah 24:13When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. 14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 15Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Psalms 119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. 38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. 40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

We are being called to get out of God's business like earthly rulers and focus on our King. We are being called to stop trusting man , we were to never do that. We are being called to only fear God and nothing else. We are called even if we got away with something , to come clean. We are being called to be ready to answer for what we said and did. Job reminds us we are a flower and born in a world of trouble , we were to be Daniels and obey earthly kings ,except anything that goes against our Heavenly King... That is something Jesus tells us few will be able to do. It was the Word that gave us instructions of how to exist in this world of trouble ...Get alone with the Word of God and get away from man is the call today. We have listened to man so long we do not know how to listen to Him. His Word and Signs and Wonders always told us what He is saying. It was always those that listened to man that did not know Jesus and was not ready for Him to come...

Prayers said for all. I'm planning on staying upgraded with all that's going on in the world, and with those in this thread.

I'm off today, but am physically and mentally exhausted. On a lighter note, I had my taxes done and while I thought I had claimed correctly between the jobs to break even or be owed a tiny refund, I am getting back a few hundred.

Anyway, I'm praying a lot lately. More than ever before.

May the Lord renew your strength

Proverbs 30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. 33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

2 Chronicles 32:24In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Nehemiah 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 5And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

1 Chronicles 1:43Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

Deuteronomy 34:8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

Ezra 1:1Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel, he is the God,which is in Jerusalem. 4 And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 13:1On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

If we do not read Ezra 1 or Jonah or even how the Spirit of God moved in Cyrus ,then we can read Nehemiah 13 and create a false doctrine. From Adam to those in Nehemiah , to today the only separation is between , sheep and goats. If we leave out, it was always about those that did the Lord's will , we create false doctrines. Jesus came in human form to try and save those that held on to a first covenant that was not obeyed over and over. To teach Jesus and separate people by anything other than sheep and goats , is the greatest lie every told.

God brought into His family who He wanted when He wanted. In Ezra 1 ,a mixed multitude was called to help. A mixed multitude was left in Nehemiah but those that stayed where sheep. Those that left had other gods and did not want what Moses had to say.

In 2 Chronicles, Hezekiah was healed because he humbled himself. In Nehemiah 1 it was all about those that knew “The great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments.”
Abel , Noah , Abraham, Moses , Saul turned to Paul , to me and you today it was always about creating a people that loved God with all our hearts and souls. We are the living temple of God if we do His will. The Lord is trying to correct a lie started long ago with much of His Scriptures. Anything on earth built and created with human hands after Jesus came , built and created for satans kingdoms.
The flood of Noah was not enough for some to understand. Nineveh and Jonah was not enough for some to understand. Jesus saying “John 18:36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the J...: but now is my kingdom not from hence, “ was not enough for some to understand.
Maybe some will understand when not one stone is left upon another , His love is that great.

No. Not in Indiana, but we are literally a few blocks from the Illinois line. He will be taken care of.

6th message

1 Kings 17:1And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

1 Chronicles 1:1Adam, Sheth, Enosh,

1 Kings 11:1But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: 3And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.


Job 42: 16After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

Joshua 20:9These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.


Elijah on e of thew greatest prophets , we have no record of his parents or birth place , did not matter. In 1 Kings 11 we only can imagine who came from who in Solomon's time , did not matter. Job no list of those four generations , did not matter. Widow woman one of the great stories of faith building had no name.

Joshua shows cities for Israel and strangers, names did not matter. No one spoke any clearer to the subject of names that do not matter only hearts, than John the Baptist.

“Matthew 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”

No inheritance matters except the one in Heaven. Adam did not have a last name and Jesus changed people names. He wants all people to stop making things important that He never made important...Adam means mankind , Elijah means the Lord is God, Joshua means the Lord is salvation , Solomon means peaceable and Job is described as “Job 1:1a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. “

That was and is all that matters.

On the Jordanian side of the Jordan River.

"Bethany beyond the Jordan" is where...

1. The Israelites first crossed into the Promised Land under Joshua.
2. One of the places John the Baptist preached and baptised.
3. Where Jesus was baptised.
4. Nearby is what the locals call Tell Al-Kharrar, also known as Jabal Mar-Elias (Elijah's Hill), where Elijah was taken up into heaven.

Thank you, my friend !

Good morning prayer warriors from a snowy Moscow.

Started to feel rather lousy and like I'm coming down with something yesterday, had a rather lousy night. In light of recent events I'd love some prayers of healing and protection from illness.

Dear Heavenly Father , we ask You provide all Snuffie needs , we ask for no illness to come and You protect him , body , soul and Spirit , let him feel Your presence everyday in Jesus name we ask amen

Nehemiah 5:14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

Micah 2:1Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Isaiah 24:1Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. 3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languispamhe earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Nehemiah ,unselfishly gave twelve years of his life to build physically and Spiritually, only to go back and find appalling conditions. The Cross and what Jesus came to do has no meaning to those still building physically. The Lord leaves no room for confusion in Micah. Any nation that builds anything with violence ,He hates. Isaiah 24 is very clear what the Lord thinks of anything built physically by human hands.
Time and time again from Genesis to Malachi we are shown how people behave with physical territory and things. Not one word came from Jesus to build anything other than His flock of sheep. He left instructions how to do this.

“Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”

God warned the people of this curse and He keeps His Word. Thankfully a few survive to raise children seen in Matthew. All God ever cared about was obedience and that did not change. People teaching and believing in both covenants are in God's woes. We are part of the new covenant that last forever. People living that old covenant did terrible things in the name of God to John , Jesus , Paul , Peter and the rest. People living that old covenant have done terrible things since day one to today.
Please listen to the Lord and read His word ,seeing why Jesus had to suffer and die for us in every story in the Bible.

“Mark 13:1And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! 2And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

Jeremiah 2:Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 3Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.11Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord. 13For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”

Jesus is training His church in Mark 13and is very clear that buildings mean nothing. The Lord God was and is all about love and kindness. He remembers His first church in the wilderness in Jeremiah 2. “3Israel was holiness unto the Lord, “ was “but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit,” they changed their glory.
The people in Matthew to today, that left out words like “was and changed their glory,” can be seen in Matthew holding on to the old covenant. Jesus is very clear earth and all that is on and in it will perish.

Every time we are not of love and kindness as God taught in wilderness and Jesus taught , we hammer those nails on the Cross and twist that crown of thorns a little harder. Have nothing to do with killing, violence , coveting old territory and anything that causes the blood and violence to another human. God hated it with Able to Jesus on that Cross, to today.. Earth was and is defiled ,we are offered the Holy Spirit of God through the blood of Jesus , to be all about love and kindness. We never were of the Lord being of violence and coveting...They and we never could be both... Lord help us ...

For you Snuffielover, a swift recovery from this illness.

Part 1 of 2 , 2nd word
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Hebrews 2:Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Acts 26:4My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the J; 5Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Micah 2:1Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Jonah 2:8They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Galatians 6:5 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Obadiah 1:10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 15For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 18And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.


There was always one Israel of God ,it was those that did no violence to their brother. The family of Israel was always having to be cleaned and separated . Jesus Christ does care about anything , except those being reborn into the New House of Israel. Since the Garden satan has always tried to offer what God has taken away. We see in Obadiah a fight for something God had taken away. Jesus is very clear in Matthew 25 all nations will be gathered. You and I have no clue who is a sheep in other nations but He does. That is why we never do as those in Micah 2. Jonah did not understand the house of Israel being built in Nineveh. satan is very busy with those trying to take back what God took away. If we ever think God does not take away or gives back as in Nineveh, then we do not know Who God is and on His planet , that is the scariest place to be.

“Galatians 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.” Saul Jesus took and created Paul is our best example of the House of Israel being cleaned and mad new. Do not be found today or when Jesus returns helping others get back what God took away, is the call today.

“Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.”

Jesus suffered and died for me and you to be part of the House of Israel and that house can not be found anywhere on earth...

God is Great.

Praying for all in need.

God Bless you all,

Part 2 of, 2nd word

Isaiah 19:21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. 22And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.

Jonah 3:10And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Jonah 4:11And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Luke 7:4 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Esther 3:8And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

Jeremiah 3:6 The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. 7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. 9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the Lord. 11 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

Repeat Acts 26:Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Ezekiel 1:6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. 8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

2 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Ezekiel 1:20Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

Job 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 11If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Obadiah 1:3The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.


The love of what God created and cares for can be seen in Egypt, Nineveh ,the woman in Luke 7and Paul in Acts. The works of satan can be seen in the heart of Jonah and Haman wanting those people to die also in Simon in Luke 7. When we have pride and exalt ourselves that is the work of satan. Egypt is going to get in trouble but God will heal them. No matter what nation or what people it was always about “Job 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 11If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”

We did not listen to the Lord about listening and trusting in man. King Solomon warned us about other books of learning. He has been showing us we have listened to man and trusted in him so long ,we are not different than those in Nineveh and “cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand.”

We no longer trust in a God that taught Obadiah or Paul. We no longer trust in His Word alone with the Holy Spirit of God. We take much pride in man made knowledge and Elijah or Paul is no longer being created through His Word.
We are a lot of the left and a little of the right. To ever think we would have not been better off, with taking our children and only using the Bible to teach, is the greatest accomplishment satan has had. No wonder Jesus was concerned He would find true faith. God had to undo to teach. Jesus had to unteach to teach , we could never bring in a little of the left...
The Lord is appealing to all educated by man, to not support anyone or nation that has pride or exalted themselves above any people or other nation... If we do, we are in the company of Jonah, Haman and Simon and will be brought back down to the ground...

Prayers said for all.

3rd word
Ezekiel 1:2In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 3The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.

Ezekiel 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

Jonah 4:But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Matthew 10:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

Ezekiel was a prophet and pastor that preached all those years in Babylon. Some of the greatest faith can be seen coming from those in Babylon. Some of the most spiritually sick people on the planet was and is as those in Matthew questioning Jesus , or those comfortable in their own earthly country like Jonah.

Ezekiel was known to be unimpeachable , what a wonderful word to be known by. Ezekiel preached to those sick in Babylon who ever wanted to listen. All alive today are in Babylon . Ezekiel did not claim earthly territory and did not set himself above those fellow captives . We are to all be Ezekiel's that want to follow Jesus. One of the most abused passages is found in Matthew 10 making it ok to encourage sin , that is not what it meant. Jesus was feeding them as Ezekiel was food for life.

The story of Jonah , Ezekiel and the Pharisee are to remind us , any people or nation that claim any earthly territory will not be following Jesus...God had to take people He loved that claimed earthly territory and make them strangers in a strange land to build faith, that has never stopped happening...

Ezekiel come from a line of teachers that helped him not be afraid of the thorns and biers claiming ownership of anything on earth... God is sending Jesus to gather His sheep at a day and time no one knows. What we do know, is earth will be uninhabitable before He returns, to remind us this was never our country much less home...
