“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets …”

We know from the Lord’s promise above (Mt. 23:34)
that He will send prophets. And since that is foretold by the Lord, Himself, it isn’t a matter of whether or not a midnight cry, and sent prophets will arrive, but what will that look like when they come.

Blessed are they that look in all earnest on the horizon for the fulfillment of the Lord’s promise. Blessed are they who place their hand around their ear as a cup it to pick up the faintest sound of His message of arrival … for these will hear and see what has been promised and will rejoice as they prepare the way of His return.So, sister, beloved of the Lord. The prophets are sent out, both the true and the false and the Lord’s message rings forth whether we hear or forbear, for this is indeed the generation that will see the coming of the Lord. … and Beth, James, Jayse and Tim are not conspiring to promote anything … they are obeying and nothing more, and wanting no consideration for merely delivering what they are told to deliver.

Beth is 17, an unemployed high-school drop-out that is a baby Christian, yet God’s hand is on her in strength when He tells her to “pick up your pen and write …”Jayse, graduated from high-school last spring and has left everything to blow the trumpet … last year was a drug dealer.

Jim has been treated extremely rough and betrayed by those who he loved the most simply because he will not say that what the Lord told him to write came from any other source. (I’ve known Jim the longest … around 16 years.)And Tim, whose gift was first manifest in ‘04 as a new-born in the Lord. … and I have seen him grow from a sapling that you could step over to a towering tree that you must walk around. He transcribes the majority of the Letters.

And so there are around 500 letters published and a few hundred that are unpublished (God says what goes on the site and what does not) through these imperfect vessels that the Lord made meet for His purpose.I’ve met all of these guys in person except Jayse. And they really have one and only one common denominator … the have a mad crush on Jesus. So of the thousand or so Christians that I have met … the way I would rank them all from greatest to least on the scale of their love for Jesus … would mean that I would have to set aside the top four spots to these three prophets and one prophetess.

I am blessed to know them and I thank the Lord for their gift which always points me to Jesus and to exalt Him over all things … trusting in Him fully. And I have slipped and tried to thank each of them from time to time and always got the same answer - “Why thank me? Glorify the Lord! I just dropped off what He told me to and nothing more.”You cannot contribute, nor donate, nor buy any of the Letters.
None of the four have jobs nor income in any sense. They all four are pennyless, unknown, and commanded to stay that way … and rely fully on the Lord for even their tomorrow.

So then I don’t know where you stand on all of this but there are many that scoff and spit at them … gnashing their teeth and throwing stones by word and deed. And there are a few that see God’s hand at work and pray for His servant that they are protected and there are many many more that sit on the fence of indecision … but not for long.So, if you have any particular reason to fast and pray and seek the Lord for understanding and revelation and not stop seeking til you have a clear answer whether this is true or whether it is false … if that particular reason is not about these Letters from God .. .I would like to know what is so important that you should put off the answer to this and seek whatever that is instead. And if there is nothing more important, then let me charge you by His inspiration to do just that … and pray and seek and fast until you know or know otherwise. It is that important and there is that little time left.

Does God need the Bible?

“When Phillips Brooks first spoke to Helen Keller of Christ, she at once exclaimed, ” Oh, I never knew His name before, but I always knew Him.” She was acquainted with Him as the Christ of experience, the Universal Christ who lighteneth every man coming into the world; but she did not know Him as the Christ of history, the Christ who lived a human life in Palestine long years ago. Alas! There are many who know Him as the Christ of history who do not know Him as the Christ of experience. They know His name, but they do not know Him. They are familiar with the facts of His earthly life, they accept His system of teaching, they follow Him as an impersonal and abstract ideal, but they have not experienced the dynamic power of His living personality. They know Him as the Christ who came, but they do not know Him as the Christ who is here. The complete knowledge of Christ is possessed by those alone to whom the Christ of history has become the Christ of experience” By: James M. Campbell - From: Paul the Mystic: A Study in Apostolic Experience. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons. 1908.

If I had a small god, then I would say to you that one person could go to jail without a bible, and another could go home and read the bible on a regular basis and without exception the one that went home would grow more.

I don’t want that god. I want a God that is not so easily limited. I don’t want a god that was impotent until man invented the printing press. I don’t want a god that is dependent on a King named James, in order to reveal Truth.

I want Helen Keller’s God.

I want the God that bombards our cosmos with His Word and can only be avoided by the real blind people - those who prefer the darkness.

How many people have worked in vineyard their whole life and could not see Jesus right in front of them? For it is written “I am the vine,” not “I am like the vine.”
Every vine that has ever grown in the world, has preached Jesus to them that have ears.

They took away what should have been my eyes
(But I remembered Milton’s Paradise).

They took away what should have been my ears,
(Beethoven came and wiped away my tears).

They took away what should have been my tongue,
(But I had talked with God when I was young).

He would not let them take away my soul -
Possessing that, I still possess the whole.

-Helen Keller

The Word Creates, Reveals, and Redeems

_{by Trent - originally posted August 22, 2005}

The Bible is the written word, but even without the Bible, the Living Word would not be diminished.

How many ways are there to know that I am alive?

When I recently went to get my wisdom teeth removed (which explains alot of things) … I was hooked up to alot of equipment that checked vital signs. One would beep, another would draw lines on a chart, another made a blue blip that went across a small screen, and to top it off the nurse took my pulse and anyone could feel the warmth of my skin. Before they knocked me out, I would have shook your hand, and if I wasn’t sitting down then I could step on your toe, and all of these things would have shown you that I am alive. Each one was a witness to the same reality - though some of them appealed to the sense of hearing, sight, touch, and … ahem … smell.

Such is the nature of God’s Word.

The Word is God’s vital sign. We know God is alive, because of His Word. The Word is not merely contained as text on paper, Jesus was the Word, and indeed we are surrounded by the Word, as the whole of the universe is held together by God’s Word.

Isaiah 55:11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

When we read the scriptures we are reading the little written chart of God’s vital signs, it tells us through another method, the exact thing that Jesus tells us, and that the creation tells us, that a shake of the hand or our finger on the pulse would tell us.

The evidence for God’s existence is manifold around us, all witnessing to the same reality - which is the firm conclusion that God creates, God reveals, and God redeems.

I Am The Truth, The Way unto Life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me…
Yahushua HaMashiach, The Messiah…
Jesus The Christ.

Call on Me, and escape The Day of Sorrows…
Come to the marriage supper of The Lamb.
Amen.

beloved, where do you stand? You must awake and ask yourselves, ‘Who do I live for? And by whose blood am I established in life?’…I AM THE SOURCE OF LIFE! Live in Me! Do not just abide, but live! Eat, breathe, move in Me. In everything you do, praise the Lord your God. Honor Me, and you honor Him who had sent Me.
