“ROBERT’S OPEN DECLARATION!”
My position in presenting these postings is done not as a pastor, minister, or teacher of God’s words. They are brought forward as messages to be discerned by those receiving them and choosing personally how to react. Scriptural foundation for their delivery Ezekiel 33:9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
It is with great love for all given to me by Yeshua that you are receiving them. Luke 10:16
[16]He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.  And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Daniel 3:16-18 NIV
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. [17] If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. [18] But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

COMMENTARY!

Our times are signaling for the Ecclesia to be preparing for a great test of their dedication to our saviour Yahewa and His Son Yeshua. The spiritual shaking will be as such of those harvesting the olive trees. The shaking fervent enough to cause the loose olives to fall but gentle enough not to bruise the tree.

True devotion calms the spirit, quiets, and softens it, but superstition and devotion to false gods inflame men’s passions. The matter is put into a little compass, Turn, or burn.

Proud men are still ready to say, as Nebuchadnezzar, Who is the Lord, that I should fear his power? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not hesitate whether they should comply or not. Life or death were not to be considered. Those that would avoid sin must not parley with temptation when that to which we are allured or frightened of is manifestly evil. Do not  pause about it, but say, as Christ did, get thee behind me, Satan. These three did not contrive an evasive answer when a direct answer was expected.

Those who make their duty their main care need not be anxious or fearful concerning the event. The faithful servants of God find him able to control and overrule all the powers armed against them. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst. If He be for us, we need not fear what man can do unto us. God will deliver us, either from death or in death.

Believers must obey God rather than man; they must rather suffer than sin and must not do evil that good may abide. Therefore, none of these things should move us. Saving them from sinful compliance was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace as saving them out of the fiery furnace was in the natural world.

Fear of man and love of the world, especially want of faith, make men yield to temptation, while a firm persuasion of the truth will deliver them from denying Christ or being ashamed of him. We are to be meek in our replies, but we must be distinct that we will obey God rather than man.

Again, we recognize the importance of Dealing with life rather than Coping with life. It is far greater to use heavenly wisdom rather than worldly speculation, believed to be wisdom. Now, the importance of recognizing the information revealed in the June 4th, 2023, posting https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2023/06/05/does-using-coping-skills-justify-lusting-as-being-normal-and-a-moral-act-2/ highlights our ability to separate   Dealing with life in comparison to Coping with life

The strongest bonds of love and duty, have often been broken through from enmity against Christ. Sufferings from friends and relations are very grievous; nothing cuts more. It appears plainly, that all who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution; and we must expect to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations. With these predictions of trouble, are counsels and comforts for a time of trial.

Prudent care there must be, but not an anxious, perplexing thought; let this care be cast upon God. The disciples of Christ must think more how to do well, than how to speak well.The fear of man brings a snare, a perplexing snare, that disturbs our peace; an entangling snare, by which we are drawn into sin; and, therefore, it must be striven and prayed against. Tribulation, distress, and persecution cannot take away God’s love for us, or ours to him. Fear Him, who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:19-20
[19]But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
[20]For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Matthew 10:19-20
[19]But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
[20]For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

To deter us from denying Christ, and deserting his truths and ways, we are here assured that those who deny Christ, though they may thus save life itself, and though they may gain a kingdom by it, will be great losers in the end; for Christ will not know them, will not own them, nor show them favour. Luke 13:27 NLT
And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.’

But let no trembling, penitent backslider doubt of obtaining forgiveness. This is far different from the determined enmity that is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall never be forgiven, because it will never be repented of.

Those that would enter in, must strive to enter. Here are awakening considerations, to enforce this exhortation. Oh that we may be all awakened by them! They answer the question, Are there few that shall be saved? But let none despond either as to themselves or others, for there are last who shall be first, and first who shall be last.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children said Amen and Amen.
