"My Spirit speaks to the spirit of man. My words cannot be received by the carnal man. For the flesh cannot hear or bear my words. Nor does the flesh desire to receive my words. the Man who's heart is given over to the flesh will hate My Word and reject my Spirit"
Is not the contention truly between the Spirit and the Flesh? Is not strife and division inevitable between the man who speaks the words of the Spirit and the man who's heart is given over to the flesh? Then if the flesh will not hear the words of the Spirits then will not the words of the man who speaks in the spirit profit nothing? At this point is not the man who is given over to the flesh to then be given over to our Lord?
I am not called by Jesus to contend with flesh. Nor will I or should I. I cannot open the eyes of those who refuse to see. I cannot open their hearts. I cannot open the ears of those who refuse to hear. I cannot raise the dead flesh. Nor should I desire to raise the deadness of their flesh. If the flesh is dead to the Spirit then the flesh is dead to the Word of God. Only Jesus can raise the dead! So those who live in the flesh are to be released to Jesus. Just as Paul released the Jewish audience becaused they refused to receive the Word of the Spirit.
they departed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our[b] fathers, 26 saying,
‘ Go to this people and say:
“ Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
27 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.”’[c]
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!”
The time is coming and is now upon us. It is time to release the dead and let them go and it is time to turn and seek the ones that will hear it. To go to the remnant who are seeking the words of Life in the Spirit. And to go out to the ones are crying out for The Deliverer? It is time to proclaim to the remnant the Lord is coming near and it is time to go out and seek the ones who will hear!
He is planning to move in sovereignty again and His obedient servants are being prepared and placed in position. And when He moves He will call His servants out of the fields. For they are ones of humble positions and lowly in the sight of men. They are low in their own eyes and have sustain a pure heart after God. They are the unknowns and the unseen and also the ones who have been rejected. They will be chosen by Jesus to lead and navigate His people in the Power of the Spirit. For when Jesus moves upon us He will move in power! Those who are chosen will go out and come in with His power, His Name, His Truth, and they will move at the direction of the Spirit and with the word of the testimony of Jesus.
And this is what it will look like.....
Mark 16
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
IN THIS WORD I REJOICE!
I am not sure what God has in store for those He has called yet are going in their own direction. Maybe the Lord Himself will rebuke them. But that is not for me. I'll leave that to the Lord.
Mark 16
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
