Camp New Jerusalem

Season's change eventually and it all makes sense at the end of the season. I've been in seasons of overflowing rivers of living waters I've been through dry desert season's where I felt like walking dry bones,  I've been through the wilderness ,  seasons of refining,   seasons of purging . Several fiery trials,  I've been through season's of constant betrayal,  sessions of afflictions , oppression and opposition  I've been  I've been through a season of backsliding I've been the prodigal son.  In it all through it all I cannot put into words the tender mercies of the Lord.

Offense is a bridge where bitterness travels from the mind to the heart coming out in the actions of the offended person , its fruit is betrayal & hatred and lawlessness abounding , the result is love waxing cold . broken fellowship with God leads to broken fellowship/broken relationships with others. to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Offense left uncorrected leads to betrayal and betrayal leads to hatred Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. other versions say because lawlessness shall abound the love of many shall wax cold in the greek the word lawlessness means you are law unto yourself you have not submitted yourself to the Authority of God. the greek word for love in matthew 24:12 is agape which is the love of God in the heart of a Christian. because of lawless thinking their love their fire & passion for God will grow cold. why ? go back to verse 10 and you will find the answer. offense left uncorrected builds walls of protection offense leads to betrayal and betrayal leads to hatred, lawless thinking

The trying and testing of faith in this season will produce a faith more precious than gold.  Through all of the shaking that will take place many will learn by experience that God sustains and remains our all in all.  This storm might call you out of the boat on to the waters. This storm might have you a little fearful on the way to the other side.  He is taking us to a place of unshakable faith that walks in the fullness of His Spirit and of His power the just shall live by faith.

When you're being tested and tried and things surface in the flesh that you didn't know were there be thankful for purification by fire.  A faith more precious than gold comes out of that fire.  you cant see the impurties in gold before it is when it's put in the fire that you see the impurities in gold. things that are hidden to us are visible to God, when the fire of trials hit us thats when our impurities surface. there is purpose in every trial we face. for gold to be refined it is first grinded into powder and placed in a furnace with intense heat. The just shall live by faith.  If you're going through it remember all of the times that the Lord has brought you through to the other side rejoicing having great joy. The Lord is with us always trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not upon your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him,  and He shall direct your paths.

Be encouraged JOHN 15:2 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. purging , pruning, testing and trials come often in our walk of faith and they are necessary for our growth . Our heart is like a garden the seed of God's word has been planted and we grow much like a plant Jesus is the vine we are the branches . If you've ever grown a garden any plant requires pruning and when we prune a plant a tree or a shrub it's to force it to grow in a more perfect form more fruitful. The purging fire will bring will remove Stain and spot,  it cleanses it prunes and purges  away anything unfruitful in us.  The purging fire will bring us under God's correction and it's the leadership of the Holy Spirit that guides us into all Truth.  God cleans us up to bear more fruit,  and some times in that process there is a separation that happens purging away things , materials...

Those who feel like God doesn't love them , God wants you to know that He is pursuing you today.  You might feel like you've done too much bad stuff but Jesus died a bloody death on the cross for you too.  He was beaten beyond recognition bruised scorned head crowned with thorns His side pierced nails in His hands nails in His feet for you too. Not one who is already saved by Grace through faith is better than the one who hasn't believed. Jesus died for the murders too even His own on the Cross Jesus cried out Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Jesus was a humble servant leader who washed the feet of Judas knowing that Judas would betray Him . Every one of us who have stood on the side of sin were guilty of His death and out of love for all the world God sent His only begotten Son Jesus came in the flesh He is the Christ the savior of the world and He seeks to save the lost. He has called us all to repentance and that is turning away from our sins, fa...

The only way to grow the church is to let Christ be the head of His church. Too many trying to build churches like the world builds a business.  You want to grow the church go out into all the world preach the Gospel.  Bid guests to the marriage. The church needs people full of faith and power the power of the Holy Spirit not another grow your church program that feeds the offering and starves the flock of God.  You worldly faithless pastors need to repent and become a house of prayer .A house of authentic faith.  Stop looking to the world and it ways of business growth a go do the work of an evangelist.

 Hope in God's mercy His mercy endures forever His mercies are new every morning.  good news today for all who have sinned and fallen short the Glory of God, that stain of sin and guilt and shame can be washed away the Blood of Jesus never loses it's power. Forsake the sin confess it to the Lord , He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteous. He who covers his sins shall not prosper but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy

In the soon  coming days ahead in this world the acceptance of the cross of Christ will cost us who believe if you've not counted that cost now would be a good time to get in the word of God and count the cost.  And those who reject Christ well it's going to cost you forfeiting Eternal Life in Heaven, you'll receive Eternal damnation .
