Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Tuesday 11.30am-1.30pm (UK time)
Revelation 2:12-17 " And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
Jesus introduces Himself through His
Word:
Hebrews 4:12 " For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
What
God's Word is What God's Word does
Ø Quick Pierces quickly
Ø Powerful Divides powerfully
Ø Sharp Discerns sharply
ü Lord
please introduce Yourself to me again and again through Your Word, then I
cannot derail.
ü May
I see the sharpness and potency of Your Word- To make and destroy, To give life
and to kill.
ü Open
my heart to Your Word like Lydia. Baptise me into the mystery of Your Word,
Your Sword
ü Lord I choose life
because I receive Your Word. Breathe the breath of life into me I pray.
ü
V13. Like Antipas, help me to endure hardness,
suffering and persecution as a good
soldier of Christ
ü
Disentangle my life from the affairs of this
world that would slow me down as a soldier.
ü
Give me the grace of a witness, the grace of a
martyr so I can fight manfully and fearlessly on.
ü
V14-17. Renew a repentant heart in me. Cause me
to repent of anything that You may have against me. Do not fight against me with Your Word but release me into destiny with
Your Word.
ü
Let Your mercy prevail over any looming
judgement on my life. Have mercy on me Lord.
ü
Make me an overcomer to the end please Lord.
Numbers 25:1-9. "And
Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the
daughters of Moab. 2 And
they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did
eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3 And
Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel....
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. " (v 1-3,
9)
V 14-15. The doctrine
of Balaam=the doctrine of self. No cross
Ø Anointed
prophet, eloquent teacher
Ø Access to
many lives, including kings and rulers
Ø Wasted
opportunities through acquisition of wealth
Ø Pursuit
of materialism, self gratification, and fame...
AT THE EXPENSE OF THE
SOULS OF GOD'S PEOPLE! (Balaam!!!)
Balaam
pushed liberal theology and error to destroy the souls of men and
to bring God's wrath upon HIS people. 24000
sank into hell among God's people
while Balaam walked away with fame and goods. Balaam's doctrine caused God to
fight against His own people with the sword of His mouth. CHURCH of GOD, WAKE UP while we have the time!!
ü Lord
please help me to turn my back
completely on the doctrine of Balaam (wherever it may be coming from),
which causes mass eternal destruction
to the souls of God's people.
ü If
I know anyone that is caught in Balaam's doctrine either as a preacher or
listener, give me the courage to sound
the alarm by preaching the Gospel of JESUS to them lovingly but fearlessly.
ü MARANATHA!
Come Lord Jesus and deliver Your people from erroneous teachings that line the
pockets of few Balaams at the expense of many souls in the Church.
The revelation
of Your heart
O
Lord cause us Your Church to see.
That
we abstain from idols all
And
love only the things You love
To
overcome errors and lies.
As
Christ our Lord overcame too.
Pray
give us ear that we may hear,
What
Thy Spirit says unto us!
