“Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? Do you not know that we live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God? Have you not heard the saying, ‘Be still and know that I am God’? Is it not written, ‘My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me’? Those that come out of the world are those whom hear My voice and follow Me. Why do the widows pay and not receive their due and why are the fatherless still fatherless? Have you not read, ‘I will not leave you orphans’? Have you considered the lilies for others and not for yourself? Do you minister to the tares, because they pay you? Do you anoint tares to be ministers of God, because they pay you? He who sows good seed is the Son of Man. Do you draw near with your lips, but keep your heart from Me? You worship in vain when you teach the doctrines of men as the commandments of God. Hear My voice and obey.”
It is time for the church to stand and be seen. It is time for the church to come out of her captivity and out of the woes to come upon this world. It is time to worship God in Spirit and in Truth – receive the Spirit of Truth. It is time for the Holy Spirit to teach (the anointing will teach you). It is time to be still before God and know that He is God, and hear and obey. It is time to allow the Son of God to be the Word of God that He has always been. It is time for the Spiritual Church to be born and for the afterbirth to be thrown away. Flesh cannot produce Spirit – hear and understand. It is time to leave the dead to bury the dead and be about the LORD’s works. Stand on the promises of God.
Prepare the way of the risen LORD. How? “When you did it to the least of these My brethren.” Prepare a way for the least of God’s children – Stop feeding yourself and feed the flock (real food – truth) – Consider the lilies – Trust the LORD your God – Speak the truth. If you teach the lie, how will anyone know you from the false church (anti-christ)? It is time for the children of the kingdom to declare the One God (Father, Son (Word) and Holy Spirit – One in heaven). Stand on the promises of God.
Come out of Egypt and put away her false gods – pull down the idols in your heart – or be part of her destruction. If you seek to save yourself, you are lost – If you seek dead gods to save you, you are dead – If you seek after a lie, you are the son of the author of lies – Seek the truth and be a child of truth. Put the wine back into the Lord’s cup and break the bread of life. Let the Spirit of truth bring understanding. Come to the knowledge of God, that is His Son (the Word of God), and wisdom that is trusting in God.
Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? Why do you teach myths as truth (hunt eggs, receive gifts from St. Nick, fear the Greek and Roman god of hell)? Why do you trust the things of Caesar? Why do you ask the “things that are God’s” to render to you the things that are of Caesar? How can you collect a payment for the gifts and taxes from the Son? You cannot take what is freely given or demand what is freely to be received. Consider the lilies. Give to the “least of these My brethren,” and receive, and be thankful. Teach the truth. Share the songs in your heart and worship in Spirit and Truth. Be still and know God – hear Him and obey. Stand on the promises of God. Stand and let the Light be seen. Church is what we are and not where we go!
