HEARING FROM GOD: I DIDNT WANT TO WRITE TODAY, but his Word was as a fire burning in my bones.. AND TIME IS VERY VERY VERY SHORT - there is still so much to say...

Yesterday I wrote about an earthquake that is apparently planned in Yellowstone National Park. In the post, I mentioned things the Lord has shared with me over time.

The post got 128 views - with just 5 likes/ and 5 comments - a typical result. That’s been the case for 14 years of blogging. I RARELY see many comments. VIZ: On Quora one time, the views of a post I wrote shot up from a weekly typical of 770 views, to 12,000, .. that’s TWELVE THOUSAND in one day.. but no comments.

The thing to understand is that when anyone serves as a ‘Herald’ for the Lord, and he tells them what to say, they speak. The results are not of concern. Only obedience is.

Also, as Jesus recently showed me, he is going to hold his ministers accountable for what they should have - and could have - known and taught. VIZ: If I can hear something from him, why can’t they?

This is why JESUS sent ‘holy spirit’; To STAY in TOUCH with his Church.

Well, Yesterday - there was a comment about my Earthquake Post that bears mentioning, because it illustrates why some people don’t hear from the Lord, and likely never will..

The person wrote this:

The guy blocked me, for saying that I ‘hear from the Lord’.. (Sort of like the pharisees hating Jesus for suggesting God and He were on equal terms. Same lousy attitude. No interest, just scorn.)

But - Why block me? I didn’t know the guy from Adam. He was not a ‘subscriber of mine - nor I his. I had never heard of his Stack, and consequently have read nothing that he writes. So ‘blocking me from his ‘Stack’ was merely a demonstration of arrogance and ignorance. That is - if you can’t debate a point - you hurl insults, or ‘block them’ - so you don’t have to find a valid reply..

TRUTH? The guy did me a favor. Lately I’ve been writing on HOW to hear from the Lord. This guy just illustrated how ‘NOT to’ hear from the Lord.

The FIRST thing is you MUST read the Bible. Which this fella clearly does not. If you don’t read the Scriptures.. how on earth is the holy spirit going to ‘remind you of whatever the Lord has said’. VIZ:

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26

• How will he ‘TEACH YOU ALL THINGS’ which ‘previously you were unable to receive’, except that he can SPEAK TO YOU? Anyone?..

Let’s look at something compelling that the Lord said in John 16:

¹² I have yet MANY things to SAY [yet] unto you, but ye cannot bear them now..'“

Again -“I have yet many things to say unto you,

Jesus was speaking to his inner circle.. his disciples, and told them he had… “MANY THINGS TO SAY TO THEM”…

Got that? He WANTS to TALK to his disciples and teach them things.. But they ‘couldn’t bear to hear them at that time’. WHY?

→They had no holy spirit. He was going to have to ‘SAY’ it to them later., after the Spirit Baptism became available.

They were already BORN AGAIN after his resurrection and appearance to them. They were ‘Saved’ having fulfilled the requirements of Romans 10:9&10

They already called him Lord and had already seen him RAISED from the dead - but had not yet had the Baptism in the Holy Spirit because it was not yet available. That was still 50 days away.

THIS friend, is why Christ’s FINAL instructions to his disciples in Luke 24 was WAIT HERE in JERUSALEM - until you receive the Baptism of Fire and are clothed with POWER FROM ON HIGH..

..which OPENED THEIR SPIRITUAL EARS. The Baptism gave them the means to continue to receive orders from the Chief.

That the Church does not understand how Jesus WANTS to - and does - SPEAK to us, is a travesty of unbelief.

That was the difference then, and it’s STILL the DIFFERENCE NOW - between people that can BEAR what the Lord wants to SAY, and those who cannot receive it.. That Baptism of Fire is everything. GO GET IT. (COVET EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS)

It’s not hard actually; It’s available for the asking.

(And Mr. Baldwin, don’t mock the people who have what you don’t. It will be to your shame.)

THE BAPTISM

When the holy spirit came to the Disciples on the Day of Pentecost, by virtue of the Baptism of Fire, that is when we see them start to behave like Jesus; walking in power, and authority, fearless, bold as lions, healing the sick, and working miracles and HEARING JESUS SPEAK.

Where before -they had fear - now they had absolute confidence; Why? They were HEARING FROM THEIR LORD (either directly or through the Spirit of Truth).

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF - but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:

whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he SPEAK:

HEARING FROM THE LORD:

How did Peter know that Ananias was lying, in Acts 5?

“But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? …why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.” And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

..by the ‘Revelation’ manifestation called the ‘Word of Knowledge’ (I Corinthians 12:8) 1 of 9 enablements given to every saint who receives the Baptism of Fire. It is a ‘manifestation’ of power.

Let me tell you a story. After I got born again in 1978, the Lord began to talk to me. Where I had been possessed of devils from my childhood, the New Birth and Spirit Baptism - that a Bible class imparted to me - released me from 15 years of demonic possession. (That’s a story I never talk about - it was that bad. But boy did it teach me how to discern the presence of demons in a person or place.)

Now - post Bible class - August 4th, 1978, I was home in my Syracuse rental house, in the Kitchen, and Jesus spoke to me at length...

Among the things we talked about was my deliverance from demons. The conversation went like this: Speaking of the 15 years of horror Jesus said to me - JESUS - “It’s GONE”.

ME - “What if it comes back?”

Jesus - “It will never come back”. (he slammed that door shut!)

ME - “But what am I supposed to do?? I have been sick my whole life. I don’t know how to be normal.”!! (I was freaked out by the ‘new normal’)

Jesus - “Join the Army”.

End of that particular conversation.

This was me, an artist - less than 60 days later at Army Basic, Ft. Jackson, SC..

I’m in the middle, facing an M-16A1 rifle down range.

The Lord started talking to me from that day forward. Some things he told me, led to miracles. Other things he said were ‘gifts’ for my obedience; Like the healings I experienced over the years. He would heal me, and then tell me he healed me.

(Some saints think a Christian can’t ‘sin’, or that all their sins past and future are instantly forgiven when they’re saved. If that were true, a Christian wouldn’t get sick. The Bible teaches that SIN is the root cause of ALL sickness. In fact, sickness is God’s STOP SIGN to warn a saint that they’ve missed the mark and need to repent. The idea that a Christian can do whatever they want,having some kind of ‘get out of jail free’ card, after salvation - is not only NOT Biblical, it’s dangerous.)

To NOT HEAR JESUS, and/or to not WANT to hear Jesus, and even worse to TEACH THAT WE CAN’T HEAR JESUS - is also dangerous.

Consider this grave warning from Scripture:

“For Moses truly said unto the fathers, [speaking of Jesus]

A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;

HIM YE SHALL HEAR in ALL THINGS

whatsoever he shall SAY UNTO YOU.” (Acts 3:22)

Here’s the warning:

And it shall come to pass, that

every soul,

which will not hear that prophet, [JESUS]

shall be destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3:23)

HOW can this verse be true if we can not HEAR Him speak? Either audibly, or through the holy spirit? Mind you, if my experience bears truth - the VAST majority of times you will hear Jesus will be ‘through the spirit’ WHILE you are studying the Bible.

How often do you study the Bible?

Are you willing to gamble that Jesus did not mean what he said? That the commandment was true only for a time? Are you willing to gamble that?

The commandment is - ‘HIM YE SHALL ‘HEAR.’

*Unless the News is on.. ?

*or the Ballgame ?

*Or you don’t believe that he speaks to his saints to this day?

Friend, the Lord Jesus Christ ‘speaks’ to us in more ways than one. Either audibly (a WONDERFUL experience) or though the Spirit. That is the spirit that was given to you when you got BORN AGAIN (which is activated by the Spirit BAPTISM) - which new birth Jesus referred to when he said ‘EXCEPT that a man be ‘born again’, he CANNOT see the Kingdom of God’.

In my Christian lifetime, I heard Jesus speak audibly 12 times. But I have heard the holy spirit within, 10’s of THOUSANDS of times.

It doesn’t matter which you listen to, as long as you ‘hear him’ or he who speaks for Jesus.

The last thing I want to say is that NOT A DAY GOES BY that Jesus is not REMINDING me, DAILY WARNING me, that this will be the year that Heaven’s judgment decree on America will be set in motion.

I’m sticking my neck out to tell you that; with the confidence that comes from 48 years of hearing the Lord speak.

Anybody who is willing to ignore that is taking a much bigger gamble than I am.

My strong suggestion is that you continue to read my next few posts on ‘HOW TO HEAR from HEAVEN’, and follow the simple instructions given already last week - namely - ‘STOP WATCHING TELEVISION’. When the SHTF, it will be too late to learn how to hear him.

Mr Baldwin - if you’re visiting, I hope you’re taking notes..
