The Suffering of Uncertainty Pt.3
PSALM 140:11a
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:
We are living in an age of where there are multitudes of speakers that are being established in the earth (we call them influences).
The 4th dimension of which science has discovered and put to use in the form of the internet has effectively given every person in the world a voice and an audience, and the result of this is that the masses of the world are being torn apart in their minds by all of the many millions of different voices of opinions.
But God promised a Voice (singular) in this age, and through that voice He would revealed His secret plan and purpose.
I CORINTHIANS 14:8
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
This is the time of where the greatest battle that has ever been fought since Eden is now coming to its greatest climax within the minds of people. In Eden, Satan deceived one woman, but at harvest time, that one woman has multiply into the entire world of humanity.
All these different voices and influences are claiming to have the truth to the point that it is almost impossible for the human mind to discern what truth is anymore - and so the global probability level for deception is running at almost a 100%.
MATTHEW 24:3-14
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? (Question number 1) and what shall be the sign of thy coming (Question number 2), and of the end of the world? (Question number 3)
4 ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (It is amazing how that multitudes of people will join up with gifted and anointed people as though their anointing alone is the proof that what they say is truth.
You take some great singer or someone with talent and influence like some famous actor or something, and millions of people will follow that person’s opinions as if they are the oracle of all truth. Look at this Taylor Swifty, what would she know about anything – yet tens of thousands and even millions of people will follow her opinions simply because she is talented, yet they will call us a cult for following a vindicated prophet of God.)
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers (different) places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (From national hatred to domestic hatred – this is why we have to be able to stand up in our spirits to rejection. Jesus was rejected by His generation to the point of them crucifying Him – Brother Branham talked about how that we would be hunted and persecuted – you can hunt people on line and also persecute them on line)
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (A prophet can also mean a preacher, even politicians are like prophets in the sense that they will prophesy of a great future if the people will only elect them, but when their prophecies fail to come to pass, then that proves that they were false prophets)
12 And because iniquity shall abound (“abound” = greatly increased – greatly multiplied), the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (As the bride of Christ in this hour, we are in an endurance test – and this is why we must fix our sights on the end of the road like the boy that rode the bicycle on the foot wide plank – he did it by not looking at all the distractions that were on either side of him, and so what does this story mean for us? It means that we are not to focus on all the dramas and things that are going on in the message and in the world, but we are to fix our eyes on the end goal by staying with Malachi 4’s message, and we must always remember who we are when no one else is watching)
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The Suffering of Uncertainty Pt.3
Last week we spoke about how that at the time of Ahab and Jezebel (America and the Roman Catholic Church along with their denominational counterparts), that this was the time of when Elijah was sustained by this gentile widow woman of Zarephath.
*This city of Zarephath - it was a gentile city that was located in the heart of Phoenicia, and its name means "smelting place" of metals, or "refinery". And this is symbolic for this end time age that we are living in now, of where we are also being refined under these conditions.
** Zarephath was known for its metalworking and for its manufacturing of idols for Baal worship. And this was the city that Elijah was sent to by God (this gentile city with an industry that was sustained by idol worshipers), because the entertainment industry is one of the big sources of income that sustains the world in our time because the world is full of idol worshipers in our day also -Swifties and thousands of others.
And we need to see something here that is very important for us to notice of how that Elijah was sent directly to this gentile widow woman – because this is Malachi 4 inserted right here in this story “behold I send you Elijah the Prophet”, and notice why God sent Him to her, it was for the purpose for her to sustain Elijah during this time of famine that was in the land.
*In our natural thinking, we may have thought that it should have been the other way around of Elijah sustaining this widow woman, but the bible tells us that God had sent him there to be sustained by her. And God has sent an Elijah ministry to us in this hour for the purpose that we might sustain and keep this Elijah ministry alive until the end of the prophecy spoken of for this hour.
I KINGS 17:7-16
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto him (Elijah), saying,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
(If we would stop and think about this a little closer, then we would realise that this was a two way thing that God had arranged between the widow woman and Elijah, in that it was actually by her encounter with the prophet of God that enabled her to be able to turn around and sustain that prophet’s ministry. In other words, it was only by the prophecy that the Lord had spoken to her through the ministry and voice of that Elijah prophet that gave her the ability and means to sustain him. And so this message that we have received in these last days through a prophetic Elijah anointing is the only thing that has given us the ability to turn around and sustain and keep that Elijah ministry alive in this hour)
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it (Notice again of how we spoke of this last week, of her willingness to still serve under such extreme conditions. Because this is showing us something of how we are to act in this hour, of why we need to be willing to serve the Lord in the face of all the extreme conditions and pressures that this Laodicean age of idol worshipers has put upon us. Because this story of this gentile widow woman is actually a prophecy of a gentile people in this hour – of a people that have also heard a voice and a prophecy by an Elijah of this day), he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. (If we were to type this on an age level, we would say “I have just got a little meal and oil left over from the last age, and when that is run out, then we will die”. Notice here the reality of this - this was a real woman who was suffering under the greatest of all uncertainties, the uncertainty of life itself, and not just for her life, but for her son’s life also, because that was the most painful part for her, just like it would be for any real mother)
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not (in other words – you don’t have to be uncertain anymore); go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. (This was really just a test of her faith in the message of Elijah – it wasn’t like a conditional agreement that was being placed on her, because Elijah doesn’t pause but goes directly into prophecy)
14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. (Notice carefully here – this was an unconditional covenant that was being freely given out to this elected gentile woman by God Himself through the voice of the prophet Elijah)
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah (She came out of her suffering, not because she had witnessed any miracles yet, but because she believed in this unconditional covenant spoken to her by God through the message of the prophet sent to her for that hour. And so her uncertainty could now leave her by her faith in that this man had been sent to her by God with thus saith the Lord): and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. (Not only did her faith in that prophet bring blessing to her own life and Elijah’s life, but it also brought a blessing upon her entire household)
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
**And so we notice this from last week, that as this gentile widow woman sustained the prophet, then her life was also sustained, and because of this unconditional promise of God that was made to her through the prophetic ministry of Elijah, that as long as she sustained Elijah, then the supernatural food would continue to be multiplied for her and her family – and for us this is the unfolding of the word right there, the spiritual food for this hour.
**And so it is clear to us that this story is showing us a mystery and a prophecy for our day, in that we are also a gentile widow woman (church) that has been called in this hour to sustain a prophetic ministry – to keep it alive until the great Mount Carmel showdown because that is what happens in the next chapter of 1st Kings 18.
**And so this is what we are called to do in this hour, and this is what we are doing - we are standing as a protection and a sustainer to the word that has come to us in this day.
*This is why in Revelation 10:11 - John is told to preach the message of that angel again to the entire world – and we are literally doing that now by the way of the internet, because even from our little church here, these sermons go out to literally every nation in the world.
REVELATION 10:11
11 And he said unto me (John in the book of Revelation represents the end time gentile bride), Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
**There is no argument that we are living in a time of where the world is full of wars and rumours of wars, and not just wars that involve solders and tanks, but there are wars being fought on almost every level of human life.
There are corporate wars of companies fighting for world dominance, then there are price wars, and propaganda fake news wars. And wars of where people are fighting against each other for the most views on YouTube or Tictok.
And then there are the millions of individuals and families who are fighting their own wars against the cost of living – because all over the world, millions upon millions of individual and families are constantly struggling in the war of financial survival. And then on top of all of that, there is the real threat that AI is going to take all of our jobs away.
Many businesses are fighting the war of just trying to survive.
*Then there are the personal heath wars that multitudes of people are fighting and of which many will lose those fights.
*And so all of these wars and rumour of wars amount to an incredible level of suffering and anxiety for the people of the earth, and especially in these modern times, and so it is clear that all of this uncertainty in the world has caused an unprecedented amount of unsettling and suffering because uncertainty robs people of their peace and of their hope for a secure and better future.
MATTHEW 24:4 (opening scripture)
4 ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Death was never meant to be a part of the human experience, but it entered into the human race because of one human being becoming deceived.
And it has been prophesied of these last days that the whole world would become deceived (from one in Genesis, to the entire world in Revelation).
What was just a seed of deception planted in Genesis has now multiplied itself like a virus that has spread itself over the entire world.
REVELATION 18:23
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
This word “sorceries” is the direct linguistic root for the English words’ "pharmacy" and "pharmaceutical".
In the ancient times the meaning of sorceries was to do with the preparation of medicines that was often closely tied to “potion-making” for the occult and pagan rituals.
*In the bible, it is frequently translated as "sorcery" or "witchcraft" to describe the use of mind-altering drugs, charms, or spell-casting that is associated with idolatry and deception. When a person is drugged, then they are easily manipulated and deceived. If you were a bad person and wanted to harm someone, then if you can drug them first, then this makes your job easy.
And so the merchants of the earth are drugging the people of the earth by their sorceries and entertainment strategies, they are creating worlds that people can go into without having to ingest real drugs, and while the people are in those worlds, their minds become altered – and so by these sorceries that they are creating, they are deceiving the people and the nations of the world.
REVELATION 18:23b
“for thy merchants were the great men of the earth (Elon, Gates, and Jobs etc.); for by thy sorceries (mind-altering drugs, charms and spell-casting, mind bending performing idols) were all nations deceived.
**Look at the effect of how that Satan has used the internet as a tool for his sorcery in order to alter the minds of the people. It’s had the same effect of what magic potions would have had in the ancient times.
*Satan has used the 4th dimension of science as a medium to cast spells on people in order to alter their minds like how that magic potions did in the ancient times.
*In other words, you don’t need to swallow down magic mushrooms to see weird things of hallucinations and mind-bending images – you just need to look into the 4th dimension of the world of the internet and your brain will automatically begin to bend out of shape because you will see things that you would have previously only been able to see if you had first been drug induced – but now anyone can see these things. All this AI fantasy stuff that is being produced - not even human beings were able to imagine these things a few years back.
**This is why a prophet of God told us that he saw things that were coming upon the earth that were so bad that he couldn’t even speak of it.
I think we can safely say that we have arrived. And this is why we need to be certain of God in this hour.
***And that certainty comes to us because we know for sure that we have received an unconditional covenant spoken over us by a prophetic Elijah voice in this hour, and that we will be sustained because we have been commission to sustain the Elijah of this hour, and we are carrying out that commission.
THE.UNCERTAIN.SOUND_ JEFF.IN V-16 N-3 SUNDAY_ 60-1218
92 …And now, we're living in a day of great uncertainty. We all know that; the day of uncertainty, and the time of uncertainty. I don't believe there ever was a time... Since time first began back in the garden of Eden, when sin come in and broke eternity into time, I do not believe there's ever been a space of time with so much uncertainty as today. Because there's not even one hope left in the natural world today.
