God's Plumb Line - The Word of God

God’s Plumb Line – The Word of God
Patricia Hamel


One just has to do a little reading online and realize that it is imperative that we abide in Jesus with ever increasing diligence out of our love for Him alone.  I was concerned at things that I read today and realized that there is great deception on many fronts.  Except man know the Word of God he is going to be deceived.  We cannot/must not rely on dreams and visions, but in His Word and it is out of relationship with Jesus alone that these other experiences happen.
I am all for dreams and visions of the Lord.  All for God speaking to His people and our seeing the supernatural works of God as in the books of Acts.  What I am not for and will speak out against is people getting involved in things that are contrary to His Word and stumbling blocks for others.
We are living in a time when sin is rampant, deception is ever increasing and a great falling away is taking place.  We need to know His voice out of relationship with Him.  Jesus alone is the author and finisher of our faith.  Do not put your hope in men but in the Lord.  Pray for the discerning of spirits and that you will know the moving of God and that He will teach you and bring all things to your remembrance.
Always judge the prophetic word and be in the Word daily so that you are not deceived.  Much is spoken that is a counterfeit and unless you clearly hear Me, wait and put it on the back burner to be prayed over and discerned.  Guard against following big names and follow Me.  There are many that will become embroiled in following organizations but I said, follow Me. Christ alone is your plumb line in this world.  He is the standard and the Word of God.  Put My Word first and spend time in it, rather than seeking supernatural experiences.  It is out of relationship with My Word that any other experience must flow.  The Word of God will abide forever, follow Me and I will teach you and lead you into all truth.
Man’s experiences are many, and they tout their horn but it is My Word that must have the preeminence.  It is not the glitter and glory of this world that will stand.  Katrina was My judgment.  The Mardi Gras was the most sinful thing happening and it fed this city rampant sin regularly.  I am saying, that sin will not be tolerated.  It will not be accepted among those that bear My name but is to be repented of daily at the moment you realize you have sinned.
What you hear from God is as valid as any big time prophet with a name.  Do not follow them but follow Me for I am the Lord and the prophets, my servants.  Many false prophets are abounding, pray to discern.  Leave all to Me and pray, for I will expose the works of darkness.  There is a river of information flowing and mans knowledge, but not His love for Me, has increased.  There is nothing new under the sun and My Word is more up to date than any news cast.  Oh that my people would spend time with Me.  Men and women of prayer are needed.  It is time to sort out that which you believe.  The confusion and muddle in the minds of many would be cleared quickly if they spent but a short time in My Word.  Voices are speaking.  Many voices are calling out hear Me.  I say to you, hear the Word of the Lord.  Hear Me when I speak to you through My Word.

Hear Me, the Lord your God and let My still small voice speak.  The world is like a vacuum sucking in all that will turn to it and if you do not guard your mind in My Word many of you will be forever taking in by its lure.  It is beckoning and calling and you are in this world but not of it.  You are to be a separate people, separated unto Me.  Always abounding in My Word and work.  You are not to fellowship with the world but with those of like precious faith but are to be a witness for Me.  You must turn your back on the world for those that love the world do not have the love of the Father in them.  All that is of the world, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life are not of Me.  I am calling My children, come out of the world, the hour is late, the deception ever deepening and you need Me.  The cross is where you began, stay close to the cross.  I died and paid the price in full being raised from the dead for you.  Take up your cross daily and follow Me.

Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood on a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.  Amos 7:7

Contending For The Faith

CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH
 May 10, 2012
 by Patricia Hamel




President Obama's announcement on his agreement with gay marriage makes one keenly aware that we are contending for the faith.  Our very faith in the truth of the Word of God is being challenged by those in highest authority in the land.  This is truly an abomination to the Lord and will bring judgment on the nations that sanction and practice same sex marriage.  Where do we go from here?
 
God truly loves the homosexual, the adulterer and the sinner in general but He hates the sin.  Are we raising up a standard or becoming complacent in the church?  It has become whatever it takes to get a vote even here in the nation of Canada.  Homeschoolers in Alberta, Canada are being challenged as the these values are being eroded.  New laws  will  infringe on the right of parents to teach the truth of the Word of God about matters such as homosexuality in their homeschooling curriculum. This is not possible when many homeschooling programs are bible based and one must teach the whole counsel of the Lord. The Alberta Human Rights Act was amended in 2009 to define marriage as between two “persons” instead of a man and a woman. We have come a long way from the truth of the Word of God (in Genesis ) and accepting alternate lifestyles as a way of life. Lord have mercy!

How can we stand without judgment in our respective nations when we have lost our moral compass that is set by the Word of God and instead accept the word of humanistic, evil men and women who have no value for the holiness of the Lord.  His name has become a swear word rather than a name to be revered and we need to clean up our act in a hurry.  It is going to take the church to wake up and stand up on its feet and begin without fear of man to address these issues.  5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:5

What will it take for the body of Christ to wake up, pray, intercede and speak up without fear of man.  The fear of man brings a snare and the church is now caught in it because rights once deemed for all men are slowly, methodically being stripped from us before our very eyes.  Few are speaking out and are even now fearing hate crime laws that can be used against them.

The Lord tells us in His Word that we are to love good and hate evil, love the sinner and our neighbour and hate sin but be able to differentiate between the two.  Woe to those that call evil good and good evil is written in scripture and God has not changed His mind and is not going to rewrite His Word to please sinners.  20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!  Isaiah 5:20 Many are sincere but sincerely wrong in what they believe and God's people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge.  Let us get into the Word of God and hear Him on this and all matters. 

Let us stand up as a church and hear the voice of the Lord.  Let us challenge the works of darkness and speak the full council of God without wavering.  There is forgiveness at the cross for all who repent of sin and God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the truth.  His word is the final Word on this subject.  Let us hear what the Word of the Lord says, and speak the truth in love to those that are without redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 


We have not yet resisted unto death. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Hebrews 12:4-6


Father God is not pointing the finger but entreating us NOW to come out and be separate and touch not the unclean thing.  He is saying, it is time to repent of our sin and that He is loving, and faithful to forgive sin when it is truly repented of and will make the crooked places straight in our lives.

15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15
