“Blood on the Altar”
May 5th, 2008 0222
speaking to the Pharisees:
Matt 23:31-36 NKJV "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
Matt 23:37-39 NKJV Jesus Laments over Jerusalem (Luke 13:34,35)
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Gal 2:21 AMP [Therefore, I do not treat God's gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.]
“ Pharisees, My beloveds trusted in themselves, not in ME. Pharisees were not FAIR you see! They loaded heavy burdens on others, but did nothing to remove them themselves.
They burdened people under MAN MADE laws, and did not follow those rules themselves that were important to the Mosaic laws – the ten commandments. They stole, they did not stand for justice for those oppressed, but oppressed them MORE to make themselves richer. THAT IS THE SAME THING THEY DO HERE IN AMERICA BELOVEDS. I SPEAK OF THE MODERN PHARISEES who do not unburden the people as much as they do things to promote their OWN SECURITY financially.
Am I blind as you are ? Am I a mere mortal that I would turn my head and DO NOTHING ?
I have given much time for men & women to repent of their phariseeism. And there will be still a small window of repentance. I tell you now, that anyone who mocks the Ruach Ha Kodesh as HE comes to pour out POWER to release the captives will be found greatly wanting and in serious danger. There is much that is wrong with My church. Note I said MY CHURCH. And I AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH have the plan to break the yoke of bondage to the enemy within it. Do not be overly concerned with separation of the goats and sheep. It is to the angels that I have given that task ! And to the prophets I will give authority and power to confront, but ONLY AT MY LEADING. I know what each heart needs to repent.
I know what is in the heart of a man. You must PRAY for those who have given themselves over to MIXTURE, to syncretism and bowing to other gods than I. But I WILL EXPOSE and I WILL REVEAL the dangers to you IF YOU ASK. So many are blindly following leaders without any discernment of the inherent dangers, because Pharisees are so good at PRETENSE.
I WILL separate the goats from the sheep.
I WILL convict the stony hearts and give them more chances to repent.
I WILL NOT delay for long My judgment on those who choose their OWN path.
So I adjure you sons and daughters to choose WHOM WILL YOU SERVE ?
MAN or I AM ?
There has been much blood on the altars just as in the days of old. Many prophets have been scorned and rejected for adhering to standards of HOLINESS. They have been bruised and broken, slighted and demeaned, insulted and ostracized. They have been prayed against with ungodly words of men. They have been cursed with death and poverty.
I urge you not to judge your brothers and sisters without coming to ME to hear MY OPINION. I AM THE SOURCE OF ALL TRUTH. Anything man out of his own flesh thinks is pride.”
Then the Lord reminded me of something on watching the story of Moses today.
How when He gave him a sign, one was putting his hand in his chest, under his robe,
And when he pulled it out, it was covered with leprous white sores.
Then I felt HE was giving me an impression to think on why He gave this sign.
The chest is the location of the HEART. Inside the heart of man is nothing good apart from the SPIRIT OF GOD. Anything that comes out from the heart of man is tainted by his own fleshly pride. Leprosy is an infection that destroys the flesh literally. It was a judgment on Miriam for acting in the FLESH to criticize her brother, and to be envious of his position. So unless you walk IN THE SPIRIT, RELYING ON Ruach instead of your own opinions, you will be walking in PRIDE of the FLESH. Contaminating everything you touch, thus it was his ARM that was put inside his robe/chest.
Then I heard:
“ The fear of man is a snare. Much of what man does is done out of fear of what others think. Fear of hurting someone, fear of being too harsh, or fear of losing one’s own reputation taints much of man’s actions. So he or she reacts in PRIDE and arrogance to defend their position. Then some even will say erroneously that it is GOD Who is telling them something or to do something when I had nothing at all to do with it, trying to justify their actions using ME.
There is no limit to the wickedness of the heart when SELF is on the throne of it.
Surely I have been removing the stench of SELF in exposing the refuse in the church. The self life is in direct OPPOSITION to MY WILL for your life. I am stirring up MY Ruach in this hour to REMOVE ALL THE DROSS in your lives, before the WIND OF MY KINGDOM COMES. When the greater wind of MY Kingdom comes behind this one, THEN you will see many things you do not want to see. So I TELL YOU TO PRAY and PREPARE your own hearts by entering into My glorious presence. I will meet with you there and I will separate the chaff from the wheat in your own life as YOU ALLOW ME TO TOUCH YOU !”
