Fundamentalists doing opposite of what they should be doing!
One of the scenes given by God for this Mount Zion article (10-7-2006) revealed that
fundamentalists are doing things opposite of what they should be. This reminded me of when
the Holy Spirit revealed that we here at Take His Heart were doing something backwards in
praying for someone who had cancer. It is relative to what the Lord said, "Haven't you heard of
combining healing and the law?" The Lord combined healing and the law and in order for us to
be like the Lord we must learn to do this too. The fundamentalists I know, whom the Lord used
in the scenes for this Mount Zion section, are basically no different in action than we were when
the Lord told us we were doing something the opposite of what we should be doing, pertaining
to healing. We should have been teaching the person to come into covenant with the Lord;
then we would not even have to be praying against cancer concerning them. So this is
certainly one thing the fundamentalists are doing backwards like we were. You can find the full
account of this in the Silver Man section of the tithing book, starting on pg.73, and on this site.
Years ago when the Lord started to teach me about covenant I came to the point where I told
the Lord that if it wasn't for eternal salvation being in the new covenant, I would rather live
under the old covenant with Him rebuking the devourer, rather than me having to do it in the
new covenant. I knew that God knew what the enemy was doing all the time and I did not. The
Lord didn't answer!
This line of thinking came from my own wrong thought patterns concerning covenant and the
old one passing away. I have learned that the foundational principles,
and the promises in the previous covenants carry over into the new covenants as God proceeds
through time. God's whole Word, all of His principles of covenant, still stand. I have already
shared, with biblical evidence, how the law of sacrifice is still in effect. Let's look at this early
covenant and what God said.
Genesis 9
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the
waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God
said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living
creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall
be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I
bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember
my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the
waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud;
and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every
living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token
of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
This covenant is still in effect. It stands, and it has not passed away. To this day we still see the
rainbow in the clouds. This covenant and its benefits are part of the framework of the earth, still
written in Zion just like the statutes, God's law, and the benefits of observing them are still
written in Zion.
Remember, I am talking about walking in the righteousness of the law through love like Jesus
did, following after the Holy Spirit; not as the Jews did, walking by the letter. If we look at what
Jesus did while here we see in His acts the love of God manifest and the righteousness of the
law being fulfilled, both at the same time. Certainly in the coming "Manifested Sons of God" we
will be able to see the same total fulfillment, or how could they really be the "Manifested Sons of
God?" Jesus gave up His life for His Father and us! The basic picture surrounding a lot of
fundamentalists/charismatic's today is, "What is it God can do for me?" This is totally opposite
of what Jesus did! Motive is a big thing. God dealt with us for years concerning our wrong
motives! Will your motives stand up before God?
One dictionary definition of "opposite" is this:
Extremely different; inconsistent; contrary; repugnant; antagonistic.
[1913 Webster]
It is time for the Spotless Bride to come forth in the earth. In the train symbolism article we see
that God revealed if the church in the world opposes the Spotless Bride train from going forth,
her foundation and very ministry will be destroyed. Is the fundamentalist church opposing,
being contrary to, or inconsistent with God's spoken Word?
Jeremiah 31: 33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith
the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their
God, and they shall be my people.
For the most part a lot of believers and church leaders have been coming against, or opposing,
the idea of God writing His laws and statutes in our hearts. As an example, I recently heard a
fundamentalist preacher say, "Don't get into legalism; it will bring pressure!" This is somewhat
true but look at an ordinary street intersection with traffic lights. The invisible laws at that
intersection protect people from accidents and even death. When you approach that
intersection and the light turns red, how much pressure are you under to stop at that light? If
you are a seasoned driver there is little or no pressure at all because you know the driving laws
are what keep you safe. You don't feel pressure just because it is the thing to do. You are
used to it and it becomes a habit. The same is true of God's invisible laws and statutes. They
protect you and the Bible says they give you life, if you will obey them.
In the COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE, by David Sterns pg. 686, statutes of life is actually
translated "laws that give life." So by replacing "statutes of life" in the following scripture it
reads:
Ezekiel 33:15 ILB
if the wicked returns the pledge; he repays the thing stolen, he walks in the laws that give life,
not doing iniquity; he shall surely live; he shall not die. . . .
In comparison to God's laws, the laws at any street intersection actually protect you and give
you life. The same is true about "pressure to obey." Once you understand God's invisible laws, why they are there, and function in them, the
pressure of obeying goes away and they hopefully
become a habit. Years ago the Lord revealed to me
that the preaching of grace, love, and judgement are
totally out of balance. Judgment has to do with
God's laws, His statutes, His Word. So we can
visualize the preacher who preached this, "Don't get
into legalism, it will bring pressure!" going through
street intersections disregarding the laws saying,
"Grace, grace, grace, I don't want any pressure!"
You know what will happen!
I have heard many Christians say, "Don't get under
the law!" What they don't understand is that you get under the law by breaking the law, not by
fulfilling it. Ask anyone in jail when they got under the law! If these men obey their own words,
or ideas of what the Bible says concerning the law, they are in trouble because of the law of
faith.
Romans 3: 27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
So if they work the law of faith, according to them, they would be under the law rather than
fulfilling it.
The Lord is now writing His laws and statutes in the hearts of those who will let Him. He is
preparing a church, spotless and holy for Himself.
Ephesians 5:
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
The church must focus on becoming spotless. She cannot be holy and without blemish while
breaking God's laws and statutes any more than Jesus could be. Jesus said the way is narrow
that leads to life. It's time we embrace God's laws and statutes through love as Jesus did! It's
time for fundamentalists to change their attitude towards the law! It's time for the
church to walk on Mount Zion.
