"SITTING WITH THE MASTER"

 

AS FOR YOU SON OF MAN THE CHILDREN OF YOUR PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU BESIDES THE WALLS, IN THE DOORS OF THE HOUSES AND THEY SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER EVERYONE SAYING TO HIS BROTHER ..

PLEASE COME AND HEAR WHAT THE WORD IS THAT COMES FROM THE LORD ...

SO THEY COME TO YOU AS PEOPLE DO, THEY SIT BEFORE YOU AS MY PEOPLE AND THEY HEAR YOUR WORDS BUT THEY DO NOT DO THEM...
FOR WITH THEIR MOUTH THEY SHOW MUCH LOVE BUT THEIR HEARTS PURSUE THEIR OWN GAIN ...

INDEED YOU ARE TO THEM AS A VERY LOVELY SONG AS ONE WHO HAS A PLEASANT VOICE AND CAN PLAY WELL ON AN INSTRUMENT FOR THEY HEAR YOUR WORDS BUT THEY DO NOT DO THEM ...

AND WHEN THIS COMES TO PASS, SURELY IT WILL COME .. THEN THEY WILL KNOW THAT A PROPHET HAS BEEN AMONG THEM ... EZEKIEL 33:30-33.


I DID NOT SIT IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE MOCKERS, NOR DID I REJOICE.. I SAT ALONE BECAUSE OF YOUR HAND, FOR YOU HAVE FILLED ME WITH INDIGNATION... JEREMIAH 15:17

MOCKERS ARE IMITATION PEOPLE OR COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANS, MOCKERS OF GOD.

When a man or woman sits with mockers in church buildings, all they will have to offer the world is a message that doesn't belong to Jesus the Christ.

The message that is travelling through most churches in Australia today is a mockery to the real message of God/Jesus the Christ. Most ministers in Australia are but cheap carbon copies of another man made, money making half baked religious business founded upon greed, selfish ambition and the power of numbers and the brain... Zechariah 4:6.

Jeremiah the prophet sat with the master and even though he looked around and seen liars, thieves and false teachers by the score .. he wondered why God Almighty didn't bring swift judgment upon them all. God's reply to him was, leave them to me and you go on with your work.. Jeremiah 15:19-21.

Many think that because they sit with the master, God will instantly move for them and vindicate them but the holy bible tells us all the way through that God has His own plan and we are in it but we are not it.

Sometimes we think God has let us down but He hasn't .. He has just let us in on another of His revelations.. those who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted ... 2 Timothy 3:10-16.

Sitting with the master gives no guarantee that all shall see you as the good and faithful servant and God will rain fire and brimstone upon all your enemies. But it will guarantee you power and strength to overcome the things that we face on our way home to Him. Ability to see things for what they ..really are.. and move on to greater things in Christ not in the world... 1 Kings 19:13-15.

I have sat with the master for close to .. 15years now .. and I am glad that I made that decision when I did. He/Jesus called and I answer, hear I am Lord!

As I survey the ministries and men, churches and religious people that I met around 15 years ago .. I can clearly see that they have not grown an inch in that time. They are still deceived, being deceived and deceiving all who come their way. It makes it very clear to me that they have not done what St Paul said to do.. redeem your time!.. Psalm 119:97-104.

Men and women have fallen for the snakes knowledge, which says get everything right with the community, religions, governments, society first then you will be able to go forth with acceptance to high places in the earth. This is what all religious hypocrites have done for centuries and Father has sat alone. However, Jeremiah did the opposite .. he sat with God and let the so called religious leaders of his time go their way but he would never go that way for he knew ..the way their of was death indeed.

Titus 1:10-16.
1 Timothy 6:20,21.
1 Timothy 4:16.

As I look into the church windows today Father shows me a people that have never sat with Him, they spent and spend all their time with each other, their families, their hobbies, their ambitions and their building programs.

If you are one that God Almighty has spoken to sit with Him, let me remind you that He will make you as a fortified bronze wall also and you shall not be moved.. He/Jesus is the rewarder of those who seek Him diligently. The only one that is able to cause you to stand in the most extreme conditions and situations is .. He/Jesus the Christ!... 2 Timothy 4:17,18.

God wants all who have been called to rebuke His church,challenge His people and contend for the faith to be strong and know .. God Knows! Jeremiah 15:15.

I remember when I was but a lad and I used to sit and watch my dad tune his violin .. I used to be frightened to look sometimes as he would tighten those violin strings. I used to think .. 0h, its going to break, its going to break!

But my dad knew very well through many years of playing violin and changing the strings on it .. he knew exactly how far he could take those strings before they would break ... even so, Father knows us and tries the reigns of the heart.. Isaiah 43:21.

How sweet was the tune my dad would play after he was through with the strings and the tuning, so sweet!... it would make you cry with joy.

Do you see the sweet in the congregations today!.. do you perceive the sweet strong and highly tuned voice of the master in the pulpit of your church today?.. . or have we despised the chastening of the Lord and grieved Him away and all we have left is an .. appearance of godliness?

Most of the so called christians I meet on the streets are not sweet but bitter of heart, very insensitive to the word of God and very selfish in nature .. why?.. all because they never sat with the master .. they preferred the denominational parties, bbqs, bible colleges, conferences and seminars of self esteem that always dragged them even lower within.. cursed is that one who trusts in man! . . says the Lord!... 1 Corinthians 16:22, Jeremiah 17:5.

Jeremiah couldn't work it out.. he had done all that God required of him, he delivered the messages of God to the people, he loved Gods words and ways more than anyone or anything .. he was regretting that he was ever born. That’s ok…dear reader, God was only tightening the strings on this instrument called Jeremiah and how sweet it is for this preacher to read these words from the Book of Jeremiah .. thank you Jesus for showing me that everything is going to be just fine if I dare to sit alone with you...

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
just to take Him at His word
just to rest upon His promise
just to know .. thus says the Lord!


Amen.
