  • Not only is the church essential, it is purposeful and practical-it has a reason to exist. Since Jesus said He would build His church, He gets to decide what the distinctive marks of this new community should be. In this most intimate prayer of Jesus recorded in Scripture, we hear what He wants most for His people who He calls His church. Today we will consider the first two characteristics of the church Jesus had in mind.
    This teaching is from the series 20/20: Seeing Truth Clearly with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.

    I’m always grateful of the teachings from Pastor Skip. I would love to attend church, yet I find it difficult to do, due problems I have with walking because of the arthritis in my legs. So I ask you to please pray for me, and I will continue to follow in worship over my electronic devices. I learn so much from your teaching. Thank you! Keep helping all of us find our way through the word of Yahweh. 🙏🏾

      Hi brother. Try fasting. Do a liquid or vegetable fast for 3 days first. Then decide whether you want to continue according to your body endurance.
      NB : Through experiences, fasting aids detoxification, help the body get rid of all waste. All illness is due to accumulation of waste according to scientific research.
      You should also try to avoid too sugar, salt, carbohydrates, oil, gluten, seafood like shellfish and red meat especially pork, mutton, beef, dairy products.
      Try drinking herbal teas, vegetables
      juice, almond milk instead of milk.

    Some how a few weeks back, I was led to pray for you Pastor Skip. Don’t know why... but just Prayed for your protection & boldness to ‘contend for the faith’. Definitely.. ‘ A mighty fortress is our God’ and ‘ ‘thought the wrong be oft so strong, God is the RULER yet.’.

    We are still victims to the adversary, vulnerable as prey chased by a roaring lion as it is written. Yet satan is not the Lion of Judah, and is a defeated foe. How important it is to have the Victorious One as God! YahuShua, whom you call Jesus, is the True Church.
    "Thus says the Lord: Again I say to you, My church has no walls, and is called by no other name except the name The Father has given Me. Its members are of one mind and one spirit, of one love, one flock with one Shepherd, a people set apart who keep The Commandments of The Father and remain faithful to The Son, striving always to walk in My ways. For those who truly know Me dwell in Me, and I in them. For they are Mine, even as I am theirs also - My body, My bride.
    Therefore woe to any church of men, who claims to be the true church and remnant. Woe, I say to them. For they have placed themselves in the seat of The Father, and therefore remain under God’s judgment. For none walk according to the Truth, not one accepts Me as I truly am; all have gone astray, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.
    Beloved, no one can come to Me, unless The Father who sent Me draws them to Me. And only those who accept Me as I truly am are of My body, for The Truth resides within them and is revealed by their works. Yes, even these stumble in their walk, for they are but flesh.
    Yet I am He who searches the
    Hearts and minds, I know My own;
    I know whose love is steadfast,
    Whose faith is unmoving...
    And this is the true church
    My people long for, the remnant
    Which now is and is yet to come...
    For it is not found outwardly in the world,
    But inwardly, in the temple of God...
    I am The Lord."
    Says the Lord. Who is God, what is His name and where is this Word above written? From His Volumes of Truth, the Word of the Lord spoken to this generation!
    "Thus says The Lord: Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory, which I have put forth once again... A testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am!... The Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season.
    Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation! For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations!... A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation!
    For I AM WHO I AM!...
    The Only Begotten of The Father!
    The One True God and Savior!
    The Mashiach!...
    YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!"
    Says YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH! The only God called faithful and true, The Father and The Son are One! A warning to all of us who calls ourselves true christian, for we are under a great famine.
    "Thus says The Lord: I HAVE SENT FAMINE UPON THE LAND, even as in the day I caused a famine throughout the land of Israel. No, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of The Lord. As it was then, so it is this day also.
    From the churches of men and from the devout I have removed My hand, and from My people I have taken back My spirit.
    Lo, one full day has passed since I left them desolate, in severe thirst, with nothing at all to nourish them. I have left them in darkness, with no light to guide them, the still small voice silent. And what is this I hear among the churches of men and those devout in Israel, even among those who have recognized Mashiach in Israel? What voice do I hear lifted up to Heaven, crying out for guidance, longing for My presence and the Word of The Lord? What sound from the people has entered into the ears of The Holy One?!
    I HEAR NOTHING!...
    Not a word is spoken, no outcry is made!
    No repentance is offered, no plea is lifted up!...
    No one thirsts, not one hungers, not one of them
    Seeks The Light or grasps My robe, that I might guide
    Them through this darkness, through this desolate land!...
    None listen for My voice!
    Behold, I have spoken a multitude of words, a great number of speeches, Letter after Letter, Volume after Volume! Yet they will not eat of this bread, for they are already full! Nor will they drink from this cup, for they are drunken! Nor can they lift their heads to look upon this glory, for the weight of their sin remains upon them.
    They refuse to see, their eyes are blinded! They will not listen, their ears are unclean! They cover their faces and stop their ears! Foolish people, most wicked generation, I do not know you! Fill up then the full measure of your error, according to the perverse doctrines of your fathers! Bear the sin of your heresies, drink from the cup of your blasphemies, to the fullest!
    Yes, I hear your songs and your spiritual hymns, offered up to God... HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ME! I see your uplifted hands, and I hear all these prayers offered up in the name of Christ... HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ME!
    Perverse generation, the Day of The Lord is here; yes, I have declared it! In these very Letters and by My servants, I have made it known! Lo, through this man I have spoken it, for he does seek to honor Me... I HAVE BROUGHT GLORY TO MY NAME! Yet you have hated both Me and My Word! You have rejected the voice of The Living God, you have loathed the messengers of The Most High! Therefore shall I also reject you, for your ways are loathsome in My sight! I have left you in famine, and now I shall leave you utterly desolate.
    For I have called to My lambs; their hearts sing in anticipation. I have called to My sheep; they have embraced My voice. Yea, I have entered in and gathered them together. Behold, the harvest is separated, all is ready, the door is shut.
    I have but to call out, and the first election shall pass from your sight, and the gate shall be shut. For the door is shut already, the time has passed; no more shall pass through.
    I tell you the truth, you have done this!
    You have decided, your decision is made!
    Yes, YOU have shut the door to ME!...
    Therefore is it also shut to you...
    And it shall not be opened again
    Until you breathe your last, testifying to the
    Name of Glory and Him crucified,
    Until the time I open it anew...
    Behold, I shall open the gates of the city
    And the dead shall pass through,
    The martyrs of The Lord lifted up to glory!"
    Says the Lord. A famine because we shut the door to Him! Yet we gladly open it to the other messiah. Behold, the Bridegoom is coming! Go out to meet Him! For the Volumes of Truth is the trumpet call of God! And great is His sorrow brothers and sisters, for we all are His children yet in the end many will perish, this at their/our own request
    Thus says the Lord: "The heart of The Lord your God is very heavy. The heart of The Lord is enraged, and is very heavy. The sorrow of The Lord is deep and infinite.
    My people, let it be known to you, I take no pleasure at all in what I must do, in what must be done - NO PLEASURE AT ALL! Says The Lord. As My hand draws back, blood pours down! As I strike the earth in My anger, My tears run down! As famine spreads forth across the land, My heart is rent inside Me over the hardness of men’s hearts! As My face fills with the heat of My fury, My eyes are set ablaze with fire over that which I see! My tears run down, My blood pours down. As My own servants turn from Me and run, as My own beloved, whom I have called sons and daughters, turn and fight against Me, as My own body betrays Me, My blood pours down, My tears run down.
    As the nations come together and bind
    My hands and My feet, My tears run down...
    As they bruise Me and spit in My eyes,
    While mocking Me, My tears run down...
    As they pierce My side, My blood and
    Tears run down together!...
    As My own people drive in the nails still,
    I am risen up from My place with My arms
    Spread apart, waiting to receive them!
    My blood runs down, the tears run down...
    OH MY PEOPLE, WHY HAVE
    YOU FORSAKEN ME?!
    Hard generation! Sleeping children! Even My own fall asleep, unable to watch with Me for one hour; their hearts hardened, unwilling to weep with Me in this last hour. Do you not understand My sorrows, little flock? They refuse to be healed! Therefore, I must destroy them!...
    My blood runs down, and they refuse it! My tears fall like rain upon the nations, yet they will not lift their head, nor do they hold out their tongue to drink it! Where have all My children gone?! They choose death! THEY CHOOSE DEATH! And at the last day, they shall surely receive it; they shall taste of it to the fullest! Therefore do My tears run down; therefore do the rivers run like death through the waste places.
    Beloved, they heap up death, only to throw themselves upon the heap! Lo, they have made their covenant with death, and with the grave they are in agreement! They burn candles and make sacrifices to other gods; yea, they bow down to them! Behold, they shall be slaughtered and burned together!... The whole field is diseased, every leaf is blighted and withers, every stalk is rotten even to the roots! It must be purged and burned with fire! Therefore do My tears run down; therefore does My sorrow continue on, forever. The wound is incurable! Therefore My love will weep, and My heart will wail, forever.
    Have you not read My words, little flock? Are your ears yet dull in hearing? Yet My words shall not return void. For the beasts of the earth languish, and the creatures of flight fail to soar, for they know what is coming. Lo, I have nourished and brought forth young children to weep in your places, for you were unwilling."
