Judges 6:3; And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; v6; And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord. Today we see this same picture; Mark 4:14; The sower soweth the word. v16; And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; v17; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. “Is There A Fighter In The House!” Isaiah 59:19; So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. It’s time that the church members, defend their state of being in the Lord. “Is There A Fighter In The House?” Judges 6:11; And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: And his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. This is where the world wants your state, hid. 2 Corinthians 4:3; But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: v4; In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not. “Is There A Fighter In The House?” Judges 6:12; And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. Now it comes to you standing up, within your-self; Titus 1:9; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. “Is There A Fighter In The House?” 1 Samuel 17:29; And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? The cause to fight is; Luke 9:62; And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. “Is There A Fighter In The House?” 1 Timothy 6:12; Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

A Reason with you; 1 Corinthians 9:25; And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. v26; I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. That brings us to this word today. “Coming To Church But Not In The Ministry!” Exodus 32:26; Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Numbers 16:12; And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up. “Coming To Church But Not In The Ministry!” 1 John 2:19; They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt  have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. “Coming To Church But Not In The Ministry!” Acts 8:13; Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Galatians 5:25; If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Acts 8:18; And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, v19; Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. “Coming To Church But Not In The Ministry!” Romans 9:6; Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Romans 10:2; For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. “Coming To Church But Not In The Ministry!” Teaching! Apostle

“TO BE A COST!” an amount that has to be paid or spent to buy or obtain something.  Luke 14:28; For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? “TO BE A COST!” Luke 10:39; And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. James 1:3; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. v4; But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. “TO BE A COST!” Luke 10:40; But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. Jude 1:16; These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. (The church world don’t want to pay the full amount. 2 Timothy 4:5; But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.) “TO BE A COST!” 2 Samuel 24:24; And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; But I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

Luke 10:42; But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. 1 Corinthians 15:36; Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. “TO BE A COST!” Teaching!

“MINORITY REPORT, A COMING!” Luke 13:23; Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, v24; Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. (People in the church world don’t want to exert oneself vigorously, when it come to Jesus. I’m talking about make great efforts to achieve.) Matthew 20:30; And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. v31; And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son Of David. v32; And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?

It’s being said in the Church world now days; Matthew 12:34; O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. That’s spoken action y’all. NOT RATIONAL; Matthew 4:4; But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Now Who Would Say That? 2 Timothy 3:5; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. John 6:57; As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. v60; Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it. 2 Timothy 3:7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. “NOT RATIONAL, Now Who Would Say That?” John 5:6; When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? Proverbs 23:7; For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. John 5:7; The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 2 Thessalonians 2:7; For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. John 5:8; Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Romans 8:13; For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. You don’t have to just let it happen. “NOT RATIONAL, Now Who Would Say That?” If you can receive from him how to pay your bills, that’s rational; James 1:5; If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Then why is it not rational for you to follow his instructions on how to live? “NOT RATIONAL, Now Who Would Say That?” Great Teaching To Be Taught! Overseer/Apostle

Even Though We Could Be In The Process To Be What The Lord Has Thought Of Us To Be. Jeremiah 29:11; For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:14; For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (This is a prime example of; 2 Corinthians 10:15; Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:15; And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to anther one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. (This is a prime example of; Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:16; Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. v17; And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. (Paul talk about a similar action that he took, as compare to these two. Philippians 3:13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.) Yet, You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Matthew 25:18; But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. (He did nothing, and that which he had he hid it. When you come to the Lord there should be some distance put from yourself and others. That’s being yourself in him, and dealing with others while being with him. Romans 5:5; And hope maketh not ashamed.) Yet, You Can Do More. “Measure Up!” The one with the five and with two, their lord said; Matthew 25;21,23; His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. But the one with the one. v26; His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: v27; Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. v28; Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. Yet You Could Do More. “Measure Up!” Luke 19:26; For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

Jesus saw the changing of what the temple of God meant. “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” Matthew 21:12; And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” Romans 1:18; For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. v22; Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Romans 1:25; Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” Apostle Paul stated; 1 Corinthians 10:13; There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” 2 Kings 6:1; And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. v2; Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 2 Peter 2:20; For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. (The Lord Jesus Christ could have me to go on and on. But you get the picture.) “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” Malachi 3:6; For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Galatians 4:9; But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? “I CHANGE NOT, WHAT IS THIS?” Teaching, Are You Humble Enough?

“PRAYER, Statement Made!” My brothers and sisters, I speak to your concern. All prayer don’t have the effectiveness of instant results. It wait, then encounters, and take on. James 5:16; The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Acts 12:5; Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. The prayer in wait; v6; And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. The prayer encounters; v7; And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. The prayer take on. “PRAYER, Statement Made!” Luke 18:1; And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. My brothers and sisters, that’s the wait. Matthew 26:40; And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? This is when prayer encounters, then asleep attacks. v41; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. The prayer taking on. “PRAYER, STATEMENT MADE!” Jesus’ prayer for us; John 17:15; I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Acts 28:3; And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. Jesus did it we can also. Matthew 21:22; And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Acts 28:5; And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. “PRAYER, Statement Made!” Colossians 4:2; Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.
