MESSAGE "Dead Disciples" (Rise Again to Life)



"Beloved, believe not every spirit (that) you encounter
... for many will come in My name and they are not (of) Me.  
I travel alone, as it were. 
I need no proteges, no posses, no processions, no paparazzi. 
I am come that you might have life, and that more abundantly.  
I seek and save those that are lost, those hurtling into hell, in the grips of the devil. 
I  have no need of 'other' gods, other 'messiahs, 'other jesuses' ... they are (but) a stink, a stench in My nose.
(*other jesuses = false gods)



I (also) have no need of a dead church, 
of dead believers, 
of dead disciples;   
without works, without fruit, without results, without action, without proofs; 
 ... there is no faith, no real faith, no reality (of) Me, nor reason to believe, no actionary effect, no catalyst, nothing 
... just death.
(*dead churches, spirit-less)



I am the LIVING god, not the dead god.  
I am the God of the living, not the dead! 
Come and see My works, 
hear of My marvelous workings, 
My awesome feats,  
come and see, come and hear;   come one, come all.



But what is there to see? to hear (about)? 
What is there to show (of) Me, of My wondrous works?
Where are you, oh church? 
Where are you My true church? 
where are you My truest ones; 
.... My dear, abiding ones? 
Where, where oh where, has My little flock gone? 
the ones to whom I've entrusted My riches?? 
My spiritual bounty? 
My invisible wealth? 
My unseen power? 
the ones whom I've given a foretaste of Heaven (to)? 
the ones who have 'tasted and seen' that I am indeed good? 
the ones who have seen, heard, listened, felt, desired, sought after; ...(and) found My anointing? 
My precious, blood-bought anointing?
(* invisible wealth = His presence, His glory = treasure)



Where are you, oh My loves ... My loved ones? 
My dear, ragged sheep? 
My rebels? 
My rebellious flock? 
My strays? 
My wounded ones?  
My bleeding hearts? 
My weak, vulnerable, sensitive ones? 
My little bleating baby lamblings? 
Where are you ...?  
.... I am calling ....



*pause



Enter into My rest .... and enter into My glory;  My presence of peace .... 
Shred away the old man, the old ways, the death and the dying .... pursue Me, pursue Me as you never have before .... 
speak to Me from your place of hurt, your place of fury, your place of unbelief 
...that restless place you (now) find yourself in......

SPEAK!! 
Speak to ME, for I am listening ... 
I am 'on call'... 
I am here for you ... 
I am listening ... 
I bend down to you and I listen."

(Writer's note: I think this means He needs no 'extra help' from humans.  He is well able to be Himself... and our paltry, mortal ways of idolizing celebrities / ourselves / ministries.... is a stench to Him.... we must/should pursue HIM:   not celebrity, not money, not fame, not our own prideful / vain / empty ways of dead religion.)
