A Carpenter’s Song

If God were a carpenter,

And you were a rich man,

Would you love Him anyway?

Would you give Him your hand?

If God were a baby,

And you were a wise man,

Would you worship Him anyway?

Would you bow before Him?

And He will reign forever more.

Every knee will bow down before Him.

He hung on a tree that day,

In pain and sorrow.

He prayed for me that day,

And bought my tomorrow.

God was a carpenter.

He was a baby.

He is the Son of Man:

The One who saved me.

And He will reign forever more.

Every knee will bow down before Him.

Yes, He will reign forever more.

Every Knee will bow down before Him.

I hung on a tree that day,

In pain and sorrow.

I prayed for you that day,

And bought your tomorrow.

I endured the Cross,

Despising the shame,

For the joy set before Me.

I endured the Cross,

Despising the shame,

For the joy set before Me.

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I am God Almighty. You who are listening to my servant Rob this day: humble yourselves before your God. I am coming, says the Lord Jesus; I am coming. I suffered for you; I died for you. I bore your sins in My Body on that Cross, says the Lord. Now, humble yourself before Me and receive My grace: the gift of My righteousness through faith in My shed Blood, says the Lord. Look up! Look up My children!, for I am coming soon. Be ready to meet Me: prepare yourselves; humble yourselves; turn from every wicked way, and turn to Me with all your heart, and I will receive you unto Myself when I come, says the Lord.

Greetings in the name of Jesus. This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Today we’re talking about A Carpenter’s Song: what Jesus did for me, and what He did for you on the Cross at Calvary. Let’s turn to Philippians chapter two. The song you just heard: The Carpenter’s Song, is really based on this scripture, Php 2:5-11, Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. He became a carpenter. He did not become a governor. He did not become a CEO of a corporation. He did not become a famous man: He made Himself of no reputation. Of course, He was famous later, after His ministry got going. But before that, He was just a carpenter.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Is this mind in you?    Is this how you think?     Is this how you are walking?

Are you humbling yourself?      Are you willing to be of no reputation?     Are you someone who is well known?    Are you a famous preacher; a famous musician?      

Are you an important person, so to speak?     Will you humble yourself and take upon yourself the form of a slave, a servant, a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ?   And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.  Let’s look at the death of the Cross. This is where Jesus humbled Himself, in the Garden of Gethsemane, and became obedient. Luke 22:39-46, Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him. When He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation. And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done. Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. 

Then He said to them, Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.

Let’s read it in Mat 26:36-42, Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, Sit here while I go and pray over there. And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 

Then He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will. Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.  The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. That’s why we need to pray, always. Jesus overcame in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prayed. As He prayed, He travailed to overcome His own flesh; His soul: He pleaded with the Father to take the cup from Him. He knew what was in that cup. Nevertheless, He said, not My will, but yours be done. Jesus overcame His own soul and flesh to obey the Father and go to the Cross for us, even though He had done nothing wrong. When He stood before the governor, after questioning Him, Pilate said, I find no fault in this man. Then when the Pharisees and the people cried out, Crucify Him! Crucify Him!, Pilate said, Why? What evil has He done? Then he tried to release Him, but the voices of the people prevailed. Why? Because it was the will of the Father for Jesus to drink that cup;

Because He loved us that much.          He loves you that much:     that He would give His only beloved Son, in whom was no evil found; no fault, to become the spotless Lamb of God; to be offered on your behalf; to take away our sins; to give us His righteousness: the exceeding riches of His grace toward us, who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own Blood. 

This is not a religious story.  This happened, that day, on the Cross at Calvary. All our sins were laid upon Jesus, as He suffered unimaginable torment and pain, and took the penalty upon Himself for our sins. He literally, on that day, on that Cross, became sin for us, and saved us from our sins, imparting His righteousness to all of us who would believe in Him; believe what He did, repenting and coming to Him; confessing Him Lord and believing that He rose from the dead the third day. Jesus died on that Cross for our sins; He died for our sins and He was buried in the tomb, but on the third day, He arose from the dead! The penalty was paid! And we who would believe were justified from all things from which we could not be justified by the law of Moses, or by any religious practice.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love Him and serve Him with all our heart, and we ought to love one another. He hung on a tree that day, in pain and sorrow; He prayed for me and for you that day, and bought our tomorrow. He endured the Cross, despising the shame, for the joy that was set before Him.

 Preach The Word

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love be multiplied. Today we’re going to talk about: Preach The Word. Let’s turn to 2 Tim 4:1-5,  Here the Apostle Paul was writing to Timothy, his son in the faith, and said, I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.  I have a question for all of you that are preaching the Word of God, or, all of you that have been called, and you know you’ve been called to preach the Word, I’m talking to you today by the Holy Spirit. God has given me a message for you. So that’s who I’m speaking to: young men, or older men; you know you’ve been called, God is speaking to you through me today, if you can receive it. Just humble yourself and listen to what He has to say out of my mouth to you. What does God want you to do? How do you fulfill your ministry? Preach the Word! Be ready, in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching. 

Those that will not endure sound doctrine; those who love darkness, heap to themselves false prophets and give them large money to make them feel good; to rub those itching ears, as they move away from the truth to their own destruction. They rub the ears, and they deceive the hearts. What a contrast to Jesus, who said, Those whom I love I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore and repent! Isa 30:9-11, … this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of the Lord; who say to the seers, "Do not see," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us." This is why those of us who are sent by the Lord must preach the Word; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Those that the Lord loves He rebukes and chastens, that they might repent and be converted and He might heal them. You men of God, who love Him and love His people, be strong and very courageous: Preach the Word! Titus 2:11-15, For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

Heb 2:3&4, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? According to His own will God will bear witness to His Word. The Lord told me years ago that He confirms His Word, spoken by His Spirit, with signs following. Are you speaking His Word by the Holy Spirit? Jesus said, The Words that I speak, they are Spirit and they are life. In Acts chapter 6 the Scripture says, The Word of God increased and great signs and wonders were done among the people. In Acts 19, many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all…so mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed. A true move of God is always with the preaching of His Word, with the power of the Holy Spirit convincing of sin , righteousness and judgment. Rom 10:15, And how shall they preach except they be sent?, as in Acts 13, when the Holy Spirit said, “Separate unto Me Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them to.” And also faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Jesus said, I only say what I hear My Father saying. He said, It’s the Father in Me doing the works. He said concerning His disciples, in prayer to His Father, I have given them the Words that you have given Me. We don’t preach our own words. We preach the Words of God, from God, by the Holy Spirit, and they are life to those who can receive them, as He has sent us.

Be a true man of God. First be a man. Ask God to make you a man. I just want to give a testimony here: That was one of my prayers. Several years ago I started praying and asking God to make me a man. I knew that I was weak; I was wormy: I had been bound all my life, and I started praying and asking Him to make me a man. And He has done it, as much as He has; I’m much more of a man than I was when I started. God will do it! If you’re serious, He will do it! So ask God to make you a man: a man who is faithful in all that He has given him. Then be a true preacher: a minister of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, not of men, but of God. You don’t need to go to Bible school and learn all kinds of doctrines of men. You don’t need to be ordained or approved of men. You don’t need to be sent by men. You need to humble yourself before your Lord and Savior and repent and turn from all your wicked ways: your pride; your selfish ambition; your involvement with witchcraft and the occult; your love of self, love of money, and love of pleasure; whatever He shows you: repent! Get it out of your life! Get rid of every occult, accursed thing, every idol, and separate yourself from all defiling of the flesh and spirit. Fast and pray and ask the Lord to baptize you fully with His Holy Spirit. He is the teacher. Take your Bible and ask the Lord to teach you His Word. Lay down everything you think you already know and let the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth. 1 John 2:27,  But the anointing which you have received from Him ( the Holy Spirit ) abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. If you abide in Me, Jesus said, and My Words abide in you, you shall bear much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. Jesus is in you, and He is with you by the Holy Spirit. 

Keep doing this. First be sure you are fully baptized in the Holy Spirit, as He is your guide into all truth, with evidence in speaking in other tongues, as it was in the early church. They all spoke in tongues and prophesied. Jesus said to the disciples in Acts 1, You shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto Me… When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, He comes upon you. Keep seeking the Lord until He pours His Spirit out upon you. You can’t do any good without Him. He will minister and speak His Words through you, as you yield to Him, and they will be life to those who can receive them. Second, seek the Lord until you know His calling for sure in your life. If He never called you to preach His Word, then repent and seek Him and be willing to do whatever good work He has for you. He has a work for you.  Humble yourself and be willing to do what you consider to be a small thing, and be faithful in it, and you may find out that it isn’t so small after all.  If you are called to speak in His name; to feed His sheep, then seek the Lord until He sends you. Wait for Him to send you. Keep doing what is at hand until then. God will check you out with money. Are you faithful with money? Can you obey God with $500? Jesus said, If you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon (money), who will entrust to you the true riches? Be willing to go wherever He sends you and speak whatever words He gives you. Be willing to suffer for His name’s sake. If you go in the truth you will suffer, but if you remain faithful, you will be rewarded. You will have gold, silver and precious stones: works that will survive the test of fire. All our works will be tried by fire. If you say, “No! I will go now where I believe I should go. God is with me”, and you’re in the flesh, relying on your own understanding, you can go, and you can build, but unless the Lord builds the house, your labor will be in vain, and you will watch in shame as your pile of wood, hay, and stubble is consumed in the fire.

If you will do this: if you will wait on the Lord until He sends you, and wait on Him to receive His Words by the Holy Spirit, and then be faithful to speak them by the Spirit with all boldness, preaching the Word, reproving, rebuking, exhorting, with all longsuffering and doctrine, then He will bear witness to His Words in your mouth by the manifestation of His Spirit, with signs, wonders, miracles, and various gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to your faith, as He wills. He will confirm His Words that you have spoken and He will be glorified. Always, always, always give Him glory. All the glory belongs to Him. The Holy Spirit always glorifies Jesus. As soon as you start to receive glory unto yourself, you are in the flesh, and you are headed for destruction. As a minister of the Gospel you must greatly fear God and tremble at His Word to give Him glory. 

What do you want? Do you want to be a famous preacher and have preeminence and glory of men? Do you want big crowds and big money and the things of the world? Or do you want to be a slave of Jesus Christ, like the Apostles of old, laying down your life for Him who laid down His life for you, to wait patiently for His Words and His work that He has for you, to do it faithfully, loving Him and loving His sheep to give them their meat in due season? Will you desire the cheap, fleeting glory of man over the eternal glory and honor of God? If you will choose to honor Him and give yourself to Him, He will test you and try you and find out if you are truly sincere, and then, if you are, if you will meet His conditions, He will honor you according to His will, and if you will remain faithful unto death, you will see His glory. 

 

 Our Blessed Hope

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who can receive it: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. Today we’re going to talk about Our Blessed Hope. Let’s turn to Mat 24:1-4, Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age? And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceives you. I don’t have time to quote all of this, but Jesus went on to describe the different things that were going to happen before the end of the age, and in verses 29-35, He said, Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When it’s branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 

So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Verses 40-44, Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.  Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Watch! Keep awake! Stay vigilant! We’re talking about Our Blessed Hope: the blessed hope of Jesus’ returning. He’s coming in the clouds. Amen. Thank you Lord. 

Let’s go to Col 1:21-23, And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel; what is the hope of the Gospel?: the blessed hope; which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. Tit 2:11-14, For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. Amen. Jesus is purifying for Himself His own special people, Amen, and our blessed hope is that He will be coming in the clouds, and we will see Him; that we will be raised incorruptible and carried by the angels to meet Him in the air, and thus shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 John 3:1-3, Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure: our blessed hope: we shall be like Him. Let’s turn to 

1 Th 4:13-18, But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. Verse 13…. lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. We have this hope! 

Jesus is coming in the clouds, Amen! 

1 Cor 15:50-58, Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory! Oh death, where is your sting? Oh grave, where is your victory! The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!  

In verses 42-44 of the same chapter we read, So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 

Let’s go to Jude 1:20&21, But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Keep yourselves in the love of God, praying in the Holy Spirit. In Mat 24, Jesus said that because iniquity shall abound in the last days, most people’s love will grow cold, but he that endures to the end shall be saved: he that shall keep himself, or herself, in the love of God until the end, praying in the Holy Spirit; building ourselves up on our most holy faith; continuing in the Word of God, (faith comes by hearing the Word of God), yielding to God; denying ourselves and taking up our cross, (whatever suffering He has ordained for us to purify us), dying daily to our fleshly desires and ambitions and yielding to the Holy Spirit to be led by Him to do our Father’s will; looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 

Let’s turn to Php 3. In chapter 3 the Apostle Paul listed his accomplishments in the flesh. In verses 7-14, he said, But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Verses 10&11, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, (whatever it takes), I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the Earth. We have to follow Paul’s exhortation and example in Php 3 if we are going to attain to the first resurrection. We have to press on: to count all things that we have achieved as nothing; as loss, that we may gain Christ. Paul said, in Gal 6:14, But God forbid that I should boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. If we have this hope in us, we should be purifying ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and spirit. Don’t think that you can live in the flesh, pursuing the desires of your flesh and mind, and make it. There is a price to pay. You say, “Jesus paid the price!” Yes, Jesus paid it all, but you must meet His conditions to receive His promise. And you can, if you are willing. But if you love yourself and your pleasures; if you love this present world, you won’t make it. Php 3:20&21, For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,  (If you are eagerly waiting, you will be getting ready to meet Him: putting on your best clothes, so to speak, and purifying yourself as He is pure, because you want Him to receive you), who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Php 4:1, Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. Rev 1:7&8,  Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. 

Now let’s pray together:

Give us this hope, oh Lord God, and give us grace oh Lord, to purify ourselves as we eagerly wait for our Savior Jesus Christ. The work that you have begun in us Lord: complete it unto that day, that we may be found worthy to attain to that first resurrection; that we may meet you in the clouds and not be ashamed before you; that we may see your face, and that we may be with you and the Father and all the blessed saints of God forever in your glory, Amen. 

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I am coming, says the Lord. I am coming in the clouds with great glory; with all the Heavenly angels and all the host of Heaven, and all My saints are coming with Me, says the Lord. Are you getting ready?! Are you ready to meet Me? I’m coming, says the Lord Jesus: your Lord; your Savior. Get ready My children! Be prepared to meet Me! Be looking; be waiting for Me, for I am coming, says the Lord!

 No Name Under Heaven                                        2/25/23

Song / Medley: 

No Name Under Heaven / We Give Glory

No name under Heaven

No name in the Earth

I can call upon 

Who loves me heart and soul

And loves me more than I could ever know

Jesus, name above all names

You got your name 

Through what you’ve done for me

Jesus, You turned my captivity

You shed your Blood

That I might be redeemed

We give glory

We give honor

And with thanksgiving

We give praise

To the One 

That was raised the third day

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To all of you who love Him in truth: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love be multiplied. 

Today Brother David Hickman is visiting with us again. You just heard him sing a medley of two of the many songs that God has given him, and now he is going to speak to us a message by the Holy Spirit that God has given him for this hour. Brother Dave:

Dave’s Message:  Amen, Amen!   Add; remove: get the curses; that’s what this is about. Now cursed is he who trusts in man. Jesus said, The Words that I speak will judge you on the last day. If you reject My Words, you reject Me. If you reject His Words, you reject Him. What else do you want to know man? You ought to fear and tremble. The scripture says, Tremble at His Word: because His Word is going to overtake you. His Word is going to overtake you! One day it will run over you; it will catch up with you: once to die, and then the judgment. What are you going to be judged according to? The Words I’ve spoken will judge you on the last day. If they speak not according to this Word, there is no light in them. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. Those who follow Me, Jesus said, will not walk in darkness. Why? Why do you reject him? Because your deeds are evil, that’s why. Jesus said, They hate Me because I testify that their deeds are evil. What is evil? It is contrary to Christ’s Words. Jesus said, I have spoken everything which My Father has given Me to speak in the world. The Words of Jesus are going to judge you on the last day.  Do you know what Jesus spoke? If you are a disciple of Jesus, you ought to stay in those Words in red, until you know what He has spoken. 

And then when somebody speaks something to you, you’ll know whether it’s the truth or not; whether it’s the things that belong to Jesus Christ or not; whether they are speaking uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel. The truth is in Jesus. Amen. Jesus said, I am the truth. Amen. I’m the light of the world. Those who follow Me will not walk in darkness. That’s right. Amen!  

So your religion can be completely darkness. Did you know that? What is it built on? What’s the foundation of that religion you have? Is it separatist? Are you separating from the Body? The Bible says there is one Body. Did you know that we are all Holy Spirit baptized into the Body of Christ? Did you know that? 1Co 12:13  For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. We have fellowship, and can have fellowship,  only through the Spirit. The Spirit bears witness, one with another, whether things are of Christ or not, and we minister the measure of Christ one to another; we minister the gifts of God one to another. Grace is the gift of God. The very definition of grace is the gift of God. We can minister one to another through the Spirit, and the Spirit will bear witness whether it be of God or not. The Scripture says,  Try the spirit, whether it be of God or not. Are you trying the spirit? The Bible says, Prove all things. By the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established. That’s God’s own standard of proof. Are you proving all things with God’s own standard? Are you in the Word enough to even be able to judge according to that standard? Our fellowship should be in the Gospel from the first day until now; in the Gospel, and with the Holy Spirit sent down from Heaven. It’s the right Gospel: it’s the one with the Holy Spirit sent down from Heaven. That’s the Gospel you want. That’s the one you want.  There are many gospels out there; there are gospels all over the place out there. They talk like every word that comes out of their mouth is the Good News, but it’s not. There’s another gospel out there; there’s another Jesus out there; there’s another spirit, and the true Spirit of God does not bear witness to it. If you will abide in His Word, then you’ll be established in that Word, and the Spirit will bear witness, and you will know the truth, it says, and the truth will make you free. That’s the first thing God told me, one of the first things He taught me, when I got the baptism in the Holy Spirit, with evidence of speaking in tongues, He said, If the truth will set you free, what has you in bondage? It’s lies: He showed me, You’re in bondage through lies. Amen. And, if you continue in My Word, you’re my disciple indeed, and you’ll know the truth, and the truth will make you free.  

If the truth will make you free, what has you in bondage? Lies. The Scripture says, Let God be true and every man a liar, that you might be justified in your sayings, and you might overcome when you are judged. There are many Jesuses out there. What you better do is, you better be able to try the spirit, whether it be of God or not; whether it be the right Jesus; the right Spirit; the right Gospel. Amen.

I always hear people say, The Lord is good all the time. Well, amen; the goodness of God leads you to repentance. So goodness for God is to lead you; goodness for you is to repent and believe the Gospel. If God is leading you, you’re getting mercy. The Scripture says, in Heaven the Gentiles will praise God forever for His mercy; for His mercy forever, praise God. We’re going to be thanking God and praising God for His mercy that He has had on us through Jesus. God is leading us to be part of His Body. In Ephesians chapter four it talks about endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. This is who we can have peace with. This is who the local church, the Body of Christ, can have peace with, when they come into your church, or in your town; they will agree with this. This is what the Spirit bears witness to, and it will bear witness in His people who He has given the Spirit to: that there is one body; there’s one Spirit; the body is the Body of Christ; one Spirit is the Holy Spirit; one hope of your calling for which you are called; one faith: faith in Jesus; the hope is our blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen, one hope of your calling for which you are called; one faith: that’s faith in Jesus; one baptism: we’re baptized into Jesus Christ; one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all. God the Father: He’s in the Spirit; He’s through the Spirit; He’s in Christ; He’s through Christ. Jesus said, These are not My Words; these are the Words of My Father that I’m speaking. Jesus is the Word of God. He said I proceeded forth and came from God. The Holy Spirit proceeded forth from God. 

So there’s one Spirit, and the Scripture teaches, It’s not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord, then there’s one power; there’s one anointing. The power in the Church is the power of the Holy Spirit; the power in the local church is the power of the Holy Spirit. There’s not another power; there’s not some special anointing. The anointing that all the prophets of old had was the same Holy Spirit. The anointing on Elijah’s mantle was the Holy Spirit. The anointing on the aprons and handkerchiefs that the Apostle Paul prayed over was the Holy Spirit. He was with that according to the will of God. He ministered that according to the will of God, and that’s why the Spirit was on it and with it. There’s one anointing; there’s one Spirit. Amen. So if you’re in some denomination, or in some religion that is contrary to this unity of the Spirit: I don’t have dominion over your faith, and I don’t know if you’re saved or not, but one thing I know: God knows those who are His, depart from sin. If you’re a Christian; if you’re in the true faith, you’re going to be departing from sin. Amen. All you have to do is: add a little bit here; remove a little bit there, and you’ve got yourself another gospel. If you’ve got another gospel, you’ve got another Jesus; if you’ve got another spirit, then you’ve got yourself another gospel. It’s as simple as that. 

 Follow On To Know The Lord                                    

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. You know, Jesus said, Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who can receive it: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love be multiplied.

Today we’re going to start off with a song. I learned this song when I was a baby Christian, back in Estes Park, CO. I was over at Paul and Evalyn Merkle’s house; they were having a prayer meeting, and Evalyn introduced the song by saying, ”This song is called, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”; she said,”but we like to say, Keep Your Eyes Upon Jesus”. I think it is a very appropriate song for the message that God has given me to share with you, so here we go:

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. 

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace.

Keep your eyes upon Jesus.

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace.

Let’s turn to Eph 1:3-6, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Do you know that you are accepted in the Beloved? If you believe in Jesus; if you believe in Him; if you believe what he’s done for you when He suffered for you on the Cross at Calvary, and you’ve confessed Him as your Lord, confessing your sins; calling upon Him; believing in Him; did you know that His righteousness is imputed to you because you believe in His sacrifice for your sins; because you believe that He rose from the dead? Do you know, that if you’ve done that, you are accepted, or when you do that, you are accepted in Him; you’re accepted in the Beloved. Jesus is called the Beloved Son of His Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Amen. So God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ. Let’s turn to verses 17-23, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Praise God! Just going back to verse 17,  that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. 

Let’s move on to Eph 2:4-8, But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Do you know that? Do you know the Father loves you? Do you know Jesus loves you? You know it says in John 3:16, that God so loved the world… That’s the truth; that’s not just a religious, famous scripture; that’s the truth: God so loved the whole world that He gave His only Beloved Son, that whosoever lives and believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen. Going back to Eph 2:4-8, But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. God gave His Son: He so loved you that He gave His Son for you to die on the Cross for all of your sins.

Let’s turn to Hosea 6:1-3, KJV, Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.  Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Verses 2&3, After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord… This is so important! If you have come to know Jesus, or if you have known Jesus for a long time, and He is visiting you, and He is reviving you, and He is bringing you to repentance, and bringing you back to Himself, just like the prodigal son came back to his father, and his father ran and kissed him and embraced him and pulled him into his bosom, and he prepared a feast for him; if you are experiencing revival in your own life, I believe the Lord wants me to share with you: don’t set your heart on your revival, but set your heart on Him; keep your eyes upon Jesus; set your heart on Jesus and follow on to know Him.

Let’s turn to Mat 11:28-30,  Jesus said, Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. So we come to Jesus; we take His yoke upon us, and we learn from Him. In the KJV it says, learn of Me: Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me. So that’s what we need to do: we need to follow on to know Him; take His yoke upon us and walk with Him. When you’re yoked together with Jesus, He’s leading you by the Holy Spirit, and you’re walking with Him, and you’re doing a work: you’re doing the work that He wants you to do, and you’re learning of Him, as you work together with Him. 

Let’s turn to Php 3:7-12, the Apostle Paul said, But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. This is what we need to do: we need to press on with Jesus and come to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. As we experience these things, as He leads us, we experience the fellowship of His sufferings. If you're a Christian and you love Jesus, and you follow Him, you’re going to experience the fellowship of his sufferings to whatever degree He has ordained for you. He’s not going to allow you to suffer more than you can bear with Him. But you’re going to have to trust Him as you go through those sufferings, and you are being conformed to His death. When you are conformed to His death, you will die to yourself, to your old, selfish, sinful ways; to your self-centered ways: the love of pleasure, the love of money, the love of self; you will be dying to those things, being conformed to His death, that you may be changed into His likeness: more and more like Jesus.  

In John chapter 8, Jesus was speaking with the Jews, and He said, in verses 31&32,  If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed, in the KJV it says, If you continue in My Word, you will be My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. This is how we will follow on to know the Lord: if we continue in His Word, with the Holy Spirit guiding us into all truth; giving us understanding and teaching us. In 1 John 2:27&28, the Apostle John said, But the anointing which you have received from Him ( the Holy Spirit), abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 

Let’s pray together:

Father, in Jesus’ name, thank you for this day. Thank you for every person that is reading this program; thank you for everyone who is able to receive your Word by your Spirit, and I just pray that you would establish the truth of your Word in their hearts, and that you would minister to their every need going forward; that everyone who is reading this, and everyone who is experiencing revival in their lives would continue; that that work would continue in their lives, and that they would follow on to know you. I just ask you to help everyone reading this to follow on, Lord, and to know you; to come to know you and the power of your resurrection, and the fellowship of your sufferings, and be conformed to your image, because you’re coming back for a spotless bride. We thank you Father in the name of Jesus. Amen.

 The Promise Of The Spirit

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. You can follow us on line at roberthaymes.com . Today’s program is called The Promise Of The Spirit. Let’s turn to Gal 3:13&14, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,  that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Let’s turn to Isaiah 32:15-18, Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places… Isa 44:3, For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring; Thank you Lord! Praise your name! Joel 2:28&29, And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. In Acts 2:16&17, Peter said on the Day of Pentecost, when the Spirit was poured out, But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh… John 7:38&39, He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Gal 3:29, And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. John 14:15-18, If you love Me, keep My commandments, and I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, in the King James Version it says, another Comforter: the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you. John 16:5-15, But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, Where are You going? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 

Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. 

I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 

All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. Notice, He is called the Spirit of Truth. Acts 1:4-8, And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, which, He said, you have heard from Me; 

for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 2:1-4, When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  Notice, it says that they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Verses 32&33, Peter was preaching on the same day, after the Holy Spirit was poured out, and he said, This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. Verses 38&39, Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, that’s the Gentiles, as many as the Lord our God will call. 

Let’s go to Rom 8:3&4, For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Rom 7:6, But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. Gal 3:29, And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.  Gal 5:16-25, I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

In John 1:14 we read, And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  The Father sent His beloved Son into this world to be our Savior and to die for our sins on the Cross at Calvary. Jesus was with His disciples, leading them every day to do the Father’s will, teaching them and preparing them for the work they were going to be doing preaching the Gospel. One day He told them that He was going to go back to be with the Father, but that He would not leave them alone. He said, When I go to be with the Father, I will pray to Him, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever. He said, I will not leave you alone; I will come to you. This was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples. Following that day, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness. The Lord was working with them by the Holy Spirit, doing mighty works and leading them in their ministries, with various gifts of the Spirit being ministered according to the will of the Father. They were walking in the Word of God with the Holy Spirit leading them. Jesus was with them by the Holy Spirit, working in them and through them. So has it been since those days, as it is taught in the Scriptures, the Gospel has been preached by the Holy Spirit, and people have repented and believed, and been baptized in water for the remission of their sins, both Jews and Gentiles, and they have received the gift of the Holy Spirit; been baptized in the Holy Spirit, and He has been with them, comforting them and guiding them into all truth; leading them into the works that the Lord has for them to do. Jesus has been with them, working in them and through them by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, I will not leave you alone; I will come to you. When we have the Holy Spirit, Jesus is with us, leading us and guiding us by the Spirit. He said, My sheep hear My voice; they know My voice, and they follow Me. He also said, The voice of a stranger they will not follow. So we know His voice by the Spirit. He said, Take up your cross, denying yourself every day and follow Me; that’s how you will be My disciples. We hear His voice by the Holy Spirit and we follow Him by the Holy Spirit, just as in Acts 13, when the Holy Spirit said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them to do. When they heard His voice, they obeyed Him, and He continued to lead them in their ministry, and so they were following Jesus, not relying on their own understanding, but in all their ways acknowledging Him, and He was directing their footsteps by the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus, in His body, cannot be with everyone in every place on the Earth. When He was on the Earth, He had about 120 people following Him. But when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost upon the disciples, He was able, and is able today, to be with every disciple who is loving Him and keeping His Word, by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is present with His true disciples now by the Holy Spirit, wherever they are upon the Earth. So you see that this is much more than praying in tongues. This is: Do you want Jesus in your life every day, denying yourself; taking up your cross and following Him to do the will of the Father by the Holy Spirit; to love Him and keep His Words, and bring Him glory as you obey Him to bear fruit in your life? This is: Will you yield to Him, for Him to be truly Lord of your life through the Holy Spirit, or will you harden your heart, not to yield to the Spirit, but to rely on your own understanding to do your own will: what you want to do, and find some false prophet to tell you everything is ok, when you are not even following Jesus? Humble yourself today, that you may find grace in His sight, if you are this way. Call upon the Lord, confessing your sins, and ask Him to baptize you with the Holy Spirit! It’s a blessing folks! Receive the Holy Spirit today!

God has not changed; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Jesus said, Shall not the Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. Then you can truly follow Jesus. 

Remember, Jesus said, Not everyone who says, Lord, Lord, is going into the Kingdom of God, but he who does the will of My Father. How do you know the will of the Father? Well, you might say, It’s written in His Word. Yes, that’s true. But how do you know the will of the Father for you today? What you have to do, according to the Book of Jude, is you need to pray in the Holy Spirit and build yourself up on your most holy faith, and as you pray in the Holy Spirit, the Father will begin to move in your life for that day. As you deny yourself and take up your cross, not relying on your own understanding, He will lead you. Receive the Holy Spirit! Keep yielding to the Holy Spirit as He guides you in all truth and leads you to do His will; to do the Word of God. Then you will truly be following Jesus. We must all learn to walk in the Spirit every day, and not fulfill the lusts of our flesh. Ask God for His grace to help you to do this. Do you want this? Or do you just want to do your own will, pleasing yourself? Those that are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons and daughters of God. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. If you walk after the flesh, you will die, but if you, through the Spirit, do put to death the deeds of your body, you shall live. Choose life!

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I am God Almighty. If you will listen to My servant Rob this day;  if you will hearken to these Words, which are My Words, it will go well with you. But if you refuse and reject My Words, you condemn yourself, says the Lord. Do not be surprised on that day, when I reject you because you have rejected My Words; rejected My will, and turned to do your will. Come to Me I say! Humble yourself now! Receive of everything I’ve given you, says the Lord, and you will prosper.
