WHAT IS OUR PROBLEM

Holy Spirit we ask that you, as the revealer of Gods intentions in Jesus
Christ, to grant us your wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and that your
discretion would be manifest today, that we might understand the height,
depth, length and width, to see the integrity of your character and to know
Gods intentions towards us. That you would bring light to our confusion,
faith to our doubts, and bring strength to our weakness. We ask for this in
Jesus name and for the sake of His Kingdom, and that His Glory would be
revealed and seen by the way we love one another.

God has had an ultimate intention from the begging of time for man on the
earth. What prevents us from overcoming individual, sins, doubts,
temptations, and from fulfilling Gods will for us as a body on the earth? Why
do we live in hopelessness, despair, depression, WHAT'S OUR PROBLEM? How are
we investing the gift of salvation God has given us?

What prevents us from walking free from the things of the flesh, and
co-operately keeps us from glorifying God on the earth as a body of
believers? Is there an inner position we have yet to arrive to? Why are we
missing, peace, confidence, and faith? What causes us to fall, doubt, to
faint and fail, and be discouraged and depressed? It would be nice to know
wouldn't it? There is basically one answer to this question. It fits a
little differently into each of our lives, however. If I don't know what
Gods intentions are towards me individually are and if I fail to understand
my part in His Body on the earth co-operately, I won't have the faith to
believe it's going to happen. (That I will fulfill the calling on my life
personally and co-operately as an individual member of a greater body. I
won't even have active faith and be in agreement with Gods intentions.

John 17:21-23 Jesus says "Father, I'm not just praying for these alone, but I
pray for all those who would believe on me through their words. THAT (for
this cause) THEY MAY ALL BE ONE. That as I am in you and you are in me, THAT
THEY WOULD BE ONE IN US! THAT, (for this cause) THE WORLD WOULD BELIEVE
THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME! And the glory that you have given me, I have given to
them. That, (for this purpose) THEY MAY BE ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE." So why
is the revelation, reflection and power of Jesus given to each individual
Christian? SO WE CAN BE ONE IN EACH OTHER, AS JESUS AND THE FATHER ARE ONE
IN EACH OTHER. Jesus gives us power to fulfill His commandment, LOVE THE
LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LOVE YOUR BROTHER AS YOURSELF, as we look to
Him. Jesus went on to pray, "That I would be in them, and you in me, that
they would be made perfect, COMPLETE, THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
SENT ME, and have loved them, even as you have loved me."

So we see that Jesus wants the end of the matter to be Cooperate Unity. That
we learn to love each other
instead of fighting for our own cause, and position with each other. That we
would cease from our envy, fear, unbelief. That we would take on faith to
become one. It's important to understand what the vision of God is for us
individually and as a body of believers. This was the present truth of God
back in Jesus' day to his disciples, but His words still speak His will to us
today. We once were children of the world, but now we are the children of
God, and Gods will is for us to be a reflection to the children of the world
by the way we love each other. Our being a son or daughter of God is seen in
our love, commitment, and obedience to the words of Jesus. In Is. 61 and 62
we see a good cross section of Gods intentions in Jesus are for us. It
exposes and reflects Gods intentions and purposes for our lives. What He
wants to happen in us and how He wants to use us in the lives of others.
Jesus came speaking Is. 61:1 when he started His ministry. He said "The
Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good
tidings to the meek, to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, to open the prison doors to those who are bound, to proclaim
the acceptable day of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, and to
comfort those who mourn. To appoint to those who mourn in Zion, and give
unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, to give them the
garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. That, (for this cause) they
might be called, the trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that
GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED." Now a transition is taking place here. Every
anointed man of God, apostle of God that is sent by God to develop a work on
the earth and establish outposts and give birth to a body of believers in any
location on the earth, will have this anointing Isaiah speaks of here.
Within the 5 fold ministry of Jesus Christ in the men of God on the earth,
all these signs will be seen in the ministry that is birthed by the Spirit of
God. This is the fruit it will produce on the earth. If I'm a God called
apostle sent to build a work by Jesus, if I'm the undershepard, He, Jesus
being the Chief Shepherd of our souls....but he gives a measure of authority
on the earth to men, so children will be birthed into the kingdom. When true
men of God come into our lives, what is talks about in this passage of
scripture will be seen in our lives, and we will begin producing the same
kind of fruit Is 61 and 62 speaks of. If the body of Christians we are joined
to is right with The Lord, the fruit of Isaiah 58 will also be seen. I won't
take the time to quote it here, but if you are in a healthy body it will be
on Gods fast, that Is. 58 refers to. We have to ask ourselves if we are
sitting under this kind of anointing. The one that will build up the old
waste places, because our old waste places were built up. So that we can
raise up the former desolation's, and be repairers of the breaches, strangers
will be called the priests of the Lord. The ministers of our God.......for
our shame we will have the double. Everlasting Joy will be unto us, for I
THE LORD LOVE JUDGMENT, I hate robbery for burnt offerings. I hate people
sacrificing things to me that they have gotten deceitfully. I will direct
their work in truth.

Jesus said, "You will be hated by all men for my names sake." Why, because
you come speaking truth and lifting the standard of judgment, Gods truth, the
world will hate you for it, but some will get saved because of it. "I will
direct their work in truth, I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their children will be known among the gentiles. Their offspring among the
gentiles." So are you, we, our children, known among the gentiles? Indeed
we should be! "All that see them shall acknowledge them and say, they are
the seed which the Lord has blessed." Now it goes on "for as the earth
brings forth her bud, as the garden causes the things which are sown to
spring forth, SO THE LORD GOD WILL CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND PRAISE TO SPRING
FORTH BEFORE ALL THE NATIONS." This is Gods intention, and what we should
have faith for. This will happen before the Jesus returns. We will not rule
and reign over the nations before Christ comes. But the Praise of God will
be seen on the earth before Jesus comes. Do we believe it? He goes on to
say, "The gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall
name, and you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of The Lord. You shall
no more be termed forsaken, nor your land be called desolate. As for your
young men, as a young man marries a virgin so shall your sons marry thee. As
a bride groom rejoices over the bride, so shall Thy God rejoice over you."
"I have set watchmen over Thy walls, O Jerusalem." Where it says Jerusalem
you can replace with the church. "He has set watchmen over the chichi, which
shall never hold their peace day or night. You that make mention of The
Lord, keep not silent, give Him no rest UNTIL HE ESTABLISHES, AND MAKES THE
CHURCH A PRAISE AMONG ALL THE EARTH! Now that's what goes on in my soul
(Gene speaking). I cannot keep silent, I cannot hold my peace. I can't
forbear, I continually rage of the compromise and the false ways in the
church. It is something the Spirit of The Lord has put in me, it has nothing
to do with me. Jesus, and many men in the bible were anointed above their
brother's because they HATED EVIL AND LOVED GOOD. If you receive of the
anointing which God has put on me, you too will be watchmen, who cannot keep
from speaking against the compromise you see going on. You will hate what
you should hate and love what you should love more and more. That's why you
need to look at the one God has put in your life, or pray and ask Him to give
you someone with an anointing, that has some serious victory over the things
of the flesh! Jesus imparted His spirit to twelve men and told them to go
out and impart that spirit to other men. So do we clearly see what spirit
God is imparting to us, by those we are submitted to?

"The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength, verily
I will no more give your corn to be meat for your enemies. And the sons of
the strangers will not drink your wine. But they that have gathered it shall
eat it, and they who have brought it shall drink it in the courts of my
Holiness." Now he's talking about the redeemed community here. There is
going to come a time before Christ's return, and this has always been true in
the church, that those who walk in peace with God and holiness, will always
eat their bread in the courts of God. They always have. "Go through, go
through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the
highway, gather out the stones. Lift up a standard for the people to see.
Behold your salvation is coming, His reward is with Him, His work is before
Him, and they shall call them the holy people. The redeemed of The Lord, and
you shall be called, SOUGHT OUT, A CITY NOT FORSAKEN." Why do you suppose
this is? Because we will be sought out, Because of the Glory of Jesus that
is upon us, and because of John 17:21-23. Jesus is talking about a
community, and people of God. There is an anointing on them, And what is
that anointing for? It says in Is. 61:1-3 this is the answer. It's to
extract those in the world, those who want to be free from a world of
bondage, prison, mourning, and who are brokenhearted. It's for them to be
born into the family of God, that's why Jesus anoints men and women. He has
a mission for us as individuals and as a body.

Jesus said, "As I was sent into the world so I send you. With the anointing
I was sent into the world with, so send I you, so you can set free the
captives, deliver the bound, heal the sick and lame, deliver the oppressed,
open the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf, and give understanding to
the dull of heart. That's what Jesus anoints us for. When this happens, it
happens for a greater purpose, than just for us to be happy..

Back to our question, what is our problem? Were not saved so we can be saved
unto ourselves. We are anointed to birth others into the kingdom. We are
called to make babies, to birth others into the kingdom, and for what
purpose? What for? So they can live in the world and have their two cars
and two chickens and 2 houses and the great American dream? To what end are
we birthed into the kingdom, and why do we birth others into the kingdom?
THIS IS WHERE WE MISS IT. In Luke 19:12 Jesus is speaking "a certain
nobleman went into a country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
He called his ten servants and delivered unto them 10 pounds and he said unto
them, "Occupy until I come." So what's he saying to them? Take care,
oversee, and cause it to grow. "But his citizens hated him and said unto
him, WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS MAN TO REIGN OVER US."
