Psalm 127:1 “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it!”
Any good builder knows that you need a firm foundation to build upon. 1 Corinthians 3:11 for other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ! Paul told Timothy, “that the foundation of God stands sure (Stands firm, it will never wax old, it will never crumble beneath their feet) having this seal (We have been sealed till the day of redemption by the Holy Spirit of promise) the Lord knows those who are his, and (In conjunction with that) let everyone names the name of Christ (That professes to know him) let them depart from iniquity.
We are laborers together with God “God works with us to build upon this foundation” because we are God’s building, that is according to the grace that is given to us as master builders! Right now, this moment; just a spec of time in all eternity, I am laying out for you a foundation, the doctrine of Jesus Christ and him crucified and another builds upon it, but let every man take heed how he builds upon it!
Isaiah 28:16 “Therefore thus says the Lord God, behold (Look into this and consider what I am about to say) I lay in Zion (Zion refers to the church) for a foundation, a stone, the rock that the church is built upon. Jesus told us, “The gates of hell shall never prevail against his church.” He’s the tried stone! Which means that he’s been proven to be the only one that has withstood the test of this life and came out on the winning side! A precious stone, more precious than any other precious stone known to man! Diamonds, rubies; walls of jasper and gates of pearl do not compare to his deity!
Eph. 2:20 we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom all the building fitly framed together, grows unto an holy temple in the Lord (In whom? In him, abiding in the vine) ye also are built together (As the body of Christ) for a habitation (A place for God to dwell) the building of God! Unto you then who believe he is precious but unto them which be disobedient, he is the stone that the builders disallowed (rejected!). He came to his own but his own received him not, (He was never allowed to become the foundation on which to build), The same is made the head of the corner!
The second most important thing that a good builder knows is, that a building has to be fitly framed. You have to have a straight corner to go by! If you want sturdy structure, it must be designed to certain specifications! We have that pattern in Christ! Titus 2:7 in all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorrupt ness, gravity, and sincerity. God has given us a plumb line so that might keep a straight path for our feet. Amos 7:8 what do you see? And I said, a plumb line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people. What I’m saying is we have a blueprint to go by, but many will not read the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (The Bible!)
To most he has become a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. Jesus offended them. (I may offend you, I don’t know) Religious folks cannot stand the truth, so they heaped to themselves, teachers having itching ears, who have changed the truth of God into a bunch of lies! Fables and fairytales, which cannot be believed by anyone! One day this rock is going to fall on them and they will be crushed. Let God be the truth, and every man a liar!
This message is coming to you on the heels of a hellish decision to allow same sex marriages! What kind of world are we living in folks come on! God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! God calls it an abomination and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over it! Psalm 9:17 “the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God” People have we forgotten God? The one who has blessed this great nation?
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness is what exalts a nation, but sin and perversion is a reproach, something that brings with it shame and disgrace to any people, believers and unbelievers alike. God sends his rain (showers of blessings) on the just and the unjust, (that is exactly what this country has enjoyed since being founded in 1692) now someone wants to change that? If a man (Or a nation) does not stand for something he’s bound to fall for anything!
In these last days in which we live (Which started by the way on the day of Pentecost) God himself has sent strong delusion. 2 Thessalonians 2:11&12 and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. As the old country preacher would say, “there’s a lot of game up that holler!” That people who would believe the lie would be damned? The strong delusion I believe to be the view of secular humanism, which says, do whatever feels good, as long as you’re not hurting someone your OK, I’m OK, everything is fine and dandy, what a bunch of dung! Jesus said, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire! He preached more about hell than he did about heaven. As John the Baptist exclaimed, O’ generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth fruit meet (Fit!) fruit that is worthy to be repented of! The ax is laid to the root of the tree! God’s word is quick and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, and it will soon be applied to root of this nation, and it will be completely, and utterly devoured by the word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord!
Too much information, ok then back to our scripture verse. Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it! This tells me, that without the Lord, no one can build a suitable household! (See also Matthew 7:24) matter of fact Jesus tells us in St. John 15:5 “without me you can do nothing!” but through Christ we can do all things, because he gives us the strength to do so. That’s paraphrased of course, but means the same thing.
I’ll tell you something right here that might set well with a lot of you. Anyone can build a house, but it takes God to make it a home! Just as any man can be a biological father to his children, without ever being a real daddy to them! By the same token any of you woman can mother a child, but it takes a woman of special virtue (character) to be a mom. Wise men and women seek after God; they seek his advice, they go to him in prayer, and ask (Ask, seek and knock) they push (Pray until something happens) they ask for his council, they seek for his direction, for his will to be done in their life!
A house or a community divided against it self can never stand is what Jesus said. God has called men to be watchmen over their homes and over their cities. Real men stand for what is right! America is great, because God has blessed this nation with Godly men who have the backbone to say, “In God we trust” The devil and his kingdom has launched an all-out attack on that slogan that was adopted in 1956. The devil knows he can never defeat us as long as we have God fearing men and women, who will speak out against evil, and call sin what it is. When the enemy comes in like a flood, (Of doubt and confusion, of sin and perversion) the Spirit of God will raise up the standard of God’s holiness and the righteousness, God will be the banner over us, Jehovah Nissi!
United we stand, divided we will fall, another Biblically based motto. Satan’s battle plan is simple, divide and conquer! He wants to bring division in your home; he wishes to put you at odds with your spouse, and with your children, to cause doubt and mistrust, to confuse you with the lies he has told you. He is the master of deceit and the father of lies! He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has never been able to abide in the truth! He’s the enemy of your soul, and a destroyer of lives. He came to kill, steal and to destroy, but Jesus said, I am (The Lord God Adonis) has come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly (Which means that he brings about a better quality of life!) That’s right you devil I’m letting the world know through this vessel and this media, that you came to destroy all that is good, all that is pure, perfect and holy! But your king is a defeated kingdom, because it divided against itself! You may be the god of this world, but we are not of this world! We are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, that we should show forth the praises of him who have called us out of darkness into his marvelous light!
Jesus asked the disciples, “Who do men say that I am? They were undecided, they hem-hawed around by saying, well some say that thou art John the Baptist, some Elias and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. Jesus said basically ok, now who do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said Thou art the Christ, the son of the Living God! This was “The Great Confession” and upon this divine revelation, Christ said, I will build his church, and the gates of hell could not prevail against it! I’m not out to bash anyone, but rather to reconcile my brethren. If I fail to warn, and you should die in your sin, then as a watchman, your blood could be required at my hand! God did not build his church on man, it’s not built on traditions, by having your name on the church book or by shaking the preachers hand it takes more than just being baptized (Going down a dry sinner and coming up a wet one!) Buddha cannot save you, hare’-Krishna and all of his karma won’t get the job done; Mohammad was a misguided soul, who tried to find God, and founded a doctrine of hate and indifference. It takes being a lively stone in the building, not just another brick in the wall of yesterday’s spiritual experience! Some dried up, whited wall, shallow and void of understanding. Cleaning up the outside of the suplucre, but on the inside we are full of nothing but dead men’s bones! You must be built up as a spiritual house, in offering up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God by Jesus Christ!
I want to wrap this up with focusing on the home. As I have already stated, it takes special men and women of God with spiritual fortitude to make a house a home. Not just a house built in vain. I’m saying that a home is a place where there is joy unspeakable and full of glory, and the peace of God that passeth all understanding abides there!
Now we know and understand 1Cor. 7:14 that says, the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband (vice-versa) else were your children unclean, now they are holy! But how can two walk together the Bible says, unless they can be in agreement? The cord of three strands is not so easily broken. The circle of two, hand in hand with Jesus, we are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. You young people pay close attention to what I am about to say right here, especially if you old enough to consider marriage. You need to know the person you want to marry. A good moral person can still die and go to a lake of fire, and that blessed union you seek will be shattered forever! You need to find a God-fearing, Jesus loving, devil chasing, Holy Ghost filled child of God, and have a blessed life, not one that is accursed, and filled with misery and despair.
Allow me to add this (which is actually part of another message the Lord has given me on agreement, and disagreement) agreement brings blessing and power; it promotes unity within the family structure. Remember earlier in this message I told you that Satan’s plan is to divide and conquer? Why so much divorce? There is division in the home! The devil’s worst nightmare is agreement, he knows that when two would agree as touching one thing, it shall be done for them of our Father. One believer can put a thousand evil spirits to flight, two can put ten thousand back to the pits of hell where they came from!
Do you really want to hear the truth what God has dropped into my spirit? The trouble with the family that Christ has been left out of the arrangements the man is no longer the head of the household, wives do not obey their husbands, and children are disobedient to their parents. Since we have allowed prayer to be taken out, schools have become demilitarized zones.
This country is in trouble because of weak compromising men who would like to label themselves as Christians, and are no more than clouds without water Jude the brother of Jesus pulled no punches, he said they are carried about by winds (other peoples hot air) trees whose fruit has withered, without fruit they are twice dead and should be plucked up by it’s roots.
Come-on people if a man cannot rule his own house, how can he rule the house of God? The gays and the lesbians speak evil of those things they know not! But, what they know naturally as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. I’m not into !@#$ bashing either; we are called to love the unlovable. It’s the sin I’m preaching against. God hates sin, but he loves the sinner.
2 Timothy 3:1-7 Perilous times have come, these are the last days, and these are the symptoms of a house divided!
