SERMONS

 Luke 3:3-5 and Isaiah 40:3,4 both speak of preparing the Way for the LORD. John the Baptist had a privilege that no other person ever had or ever shall have. He had the privilege to introduce the Humanity of the Son of God. He had the opportunity to introduce the Name of Jesus (yeh-ho-shoo-ah) to the world. John’s purpose was just to introduce the Lamb of God, to make a Way for Him, and to get people prepared for His Coming and to baptize unto righteousness, or unto the Righteous One. He was to introduce Jesus, yeh-ho-shoo-ah maw-shee-akh Yehovah, and once he had done that, John’s ministry was supposed to be over. But he was so in love with the ministry that he did not have the love for the One he was introducing.

(Thanksgiving) Gratitude Glory produces unity. In Isaiah 55:11, the LORD said that His Word will not return unto Him void. The Word is always sent to someone special. When Jesus was hanging on the Cross, there was only one person around the Cross, at that given moment, who recognized the Glory and, therefore, recognized that the LORD was the Master and the Owner, and that one person was one of the malefactors. There were four people hanging on crosses around the Cross of Jesus; there were two malefactors and two thieves, two on the right and two on the left. But there is the upper right and the lower right and the upper left  and the lower left. So  their positions around the Cross relate to the four corners of the LORD’s tetragrammaton His Holy Name.

When Jesus Christ comes back to this Earth, the Hill of Calvary will become the Mountain of the LORD (Isaiah 2:1,2). This message shows the journey we take as we go to the In-Pasture with the Resurrected Christ to lie down under His Feet and back to the Out-Pasture with the Crucified Christ to lie down under His Feet. There is no other form that is acceptable to God other than the Cross. So we have to lie down under the Feet of Jesus Christ and let Him tread out our forms. Forms are: thoughts with wings that do not come from God; and also all the feelings of our being that are not from God.

Isaiah 2:1,2 says: “The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.” When Jesus Christ comes again, the Hill of Calvary will become the Mountain of the LORD, from the time of the Millennial Reign and onward. All nations shall flow into Jerusalem.

God’s Breath has four kinds of Anger, which He gave to man. When God created man, He put a foursquare City inside his heart, called the Kingdom of God. This “Anger Breath” was supposed to defend the Name of the LORD in all four corners of His Name. But when Adam-male and Adam-female sinned, this City, the Name of the LORD, was taken captive—this was the Begotten Name in the Son of God.

(Mexico Ministerial Retreat) The message begins with a review of the In-Pasture and the Out-Pasture. In the tenth chapter of John, Jesus Christ said that He is the Door and that we can go in and out and find pasture. The In-Pasture pertains to the Resurrected Christ, the Son of God, at the Right Hand of the Father. The Out-Pasture is the Cross of the Crucified Christ. In order for us to go to the New City, we must go to the Out-Pasture and let the Crucified Christ tear down the Wall of Blasphemy with its Gates of Ingratitude that is in the City of Pride in our worker heart.

(Mexico Ministerial Retreat) Hebrews 5:7 says of Jesus Christ: “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared.”  When Jesus was in the Garden, the Blood cried out as it was falling with His sweat down to the ground and as His soul was disintegrating from His Body. The Blood cried out.

(Mexico Ministerial Retreat) In the Father’s realm, we must gain a Seal of Experience in order to be in the 144,000. We have been owned servants, aw-bad servants, twice, by Jesus Christ. Out of one drop of Blood, He created us. And out of another drop of Blood, He purchased our Salvation, our Redemption! So we have been purchased outside and inside with His precious Blood! We must get our twelve Gates of Ingratitude converted into twelveGates of Gratitude in our City within. We gain the gratitude of the Son to do the Will of the Father in the Out-Pasture, at Calvary’s Cross.

(Mexico Ministerial Retreat) One class of anger, of the four classes of anger God gave man, is relegated to each of the four letters of the LORD’s Divine Name, His tetragrammaton, His Holy Name. This is the Father’s realm of anger.

(Youth Retreat) This lesson answers the following questions about animals and the Tree of Knowledge.

1. Did the animals feed on the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil or were they not in the Garden then?
2. Before man sinned, the animals had not turned against man. So when man sinned, is it correct to say that animals started to defend the Name that the man sinned against?

(Youth Retreat) We have learned what happened to anger. God had His Holy Breath of Anger around the City of His Name that He planted and formed within man. This City is called the Kingdom of God, and it is within us. When Leviathan the Serpent came, he took that City captive. Leviathan stole anger from God for himself; then, he took the Vail, as it were, or the Breath of Anger that was around this City, this Kingdom of God that is within us, and he turned it backwards. Now, instead of being used to defend God, this Breath is used against Him. We are not angry at anything or anybody; we are angry against God.

(Youth Retreat) In Luke 12:31, Jesus said, “But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.” There are two Kingdoms. The Kingdom of God is the Son’s Kingdom. Then, there is the Kingdom of Heaven, and that is the Father’s Unbegotten Kingdom. Luke 17:20,21,says that the Kingdom of God is within us. When man sinned, the Kingdom of God became what is now called that old City of Pride. But it was not the City of Pride at first; it belonged to the LORD. What is the Kingdom of God? It is God’s Begotten Name of LORD.

This message reviews what is said in Romans 5:20,21 about sin abounding and Grace much more abounding, and it discusses God’s Way. The word for way, in Hebrew, is deh-rek, which means a well-trodden way. God Himself, the Heavenly Father, the Infinite, Unbegotten God, before He had His Son, walked up and down in His Purposive Will thinking and meditating about how He was going to create and how He would allow Creation to go astray and how He would beget a Son, the Word of God, the Wisdom-Word, that would come down and redeem a lost world. So the Way was the LORD’s Purposive Will. Then, when God brought His Son to birth, God began to reveal His Master Plan through Truth.
