THY WILL BE DONE O LORD (PART FOUR AND FINAL PART)

-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace”…PSALM 31:37.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusted in Thee”..ISAIAH..26:3

“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever”…ISAIAH 32:17.

“”There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked”…ISAIAH 57:21

“’And when Jesus was come near, He beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, if thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes”…LUKE 19: 41-42.

“”Peace I leave unto you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”…JOHN 14:27.

-THE RECEIVED WORD-
Men and brethren, this is the final part of this message. And I perceive that the Holy Ghost has revealed much of what needs to be revealed concerning this very matter. But the ways of God are past finding out. Therefore, one can always go to Him for further and even deeper insight into this very matter.

Today we shall discuss how one can know that he or she is walking in the perfect will of God per time. And this has become more urgent and compelling because, on account of the Holy Ghost Himself, presently. majority of the children of the kingdom of God are living in the permissive will of God.

And the ultimate danger is that whosoever continues in the permissive will of God till death, will scarcely make heaven at last. It will be a very narrow escape indeed. Yet with God all things are possible.

-Locating The Perfect Will Of God-
The Holy Ghost is the Carrier of the perfect will of God per time. And every true child of God is indwelt by the same Holy Ghost – and as many as are led by Him are the true sons and daughters of the living God. Every child of God is expected to be led by the same Holy Ghost in his or her day to day activities. The perfect will of God for every child of God per time lies in that day to day leading of the Holy Ghost.

-The Place Of The Written Word-
One may be tempted to ask: what then is the purpose of the Bible, if the Holy Ghost must intervene to reveal the perfect will of God?

The answer is this: that though believers live by the word of God, but they do not live by the letters of the Bible - they live by the revealed word.

The Bible is the word of God only when it is revealed to us by the Holy Ghost. The Bible, as the revealed word of God, speaks to us, giving rise to faith, the faith to do the perfect will of God per time.

It is required of every child of God to live by faith. And this faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The faith by which believers live does not just come by studying the Bible; it comes from hearing the word of God. Studying the Bible is one thing and hearing the word of God from the same Bible is quite another thing altogether.

Living by faith is the same as living in the perfect will of God. When we live by faith, we are living by the word of God, which is also the perfect will of God per time.

The Bible contains the word of God. But we need to hear that word before we can live by it as faith. When we do not hear the word of God from the Bible, we end up living by the letters of the Bible.

The Spirit of God helps us to hear the word of God even as we study the Bible, creating faith in us, the faith by which we walk in the perfect will of God.

Having knowledge of the Bible is not the same as knowing God. There are many great scholars of the Bible that are not saved, many, even majority of them! They know the Bible in and out but they do not know God.

There are many theologians who do not know God. They know all the principles and landmarks and sources of the Bible, yet they do not know God. There are many exponents of the Bible that do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

If you are always led by the Spirit of God, you will not find what you are reading strange.

God is not a respecter of great study and research about Him. Folks are not rewarded by God for their long years of study and research on the Bible. God only honors those who believe that He is and that He is also a Rewarder of them who diligently seek Him. His reward is with them who fear Him and who manifest the truth about Him.

The Bible is the word of God indeed and in truth, but only to whosoever believes that it is the word of God. To those who use the Bible for many other purposes other than as the word of God, to them the Bible is nothing but a collection of stories.

The Bible is also the word of God to whomsoever the Spirit of God reveals it as such. A man or woman may be studying the Bible for years without seeing God in It. But the moment the Holy Ghost intervenes, the same Bible becomes the word of God to that individual.

I often hear folks talking of some ignorant folks who take pleasure in burning the Bible or trampling on it. Yes, one can burn the Bible, and even use it for any worthless purpose, but NO ONE CAN BURN THE WORD OF GOD OR USE IT FOR ANY WORTHLESS PURPOSE. This is the mystery of Godliness. This is the mystery of the kingdom of God. This is the foundation of true salvation.

-But Who Indeed Is A Child Of God?-
Men and brethren, peddling the Bible here and there is not conclusive evidence that one is a Christian. And becoming a Christian is one thing, and living as a true child of God is another world entirely.

Time and space would not permit us to go into details of how one becomes a Christian. Suffice it to state here and now that the journey of Christianity starts when one one accepts Christ as Lord and Savior. And that individual must have heard about Christ and what He did for humanity on Calvary, got convicted by that, and then surrenders his or her life to Him.

Therefore one cannot hear about money or theories of this or that, or how to grow businesses or how to be successful in life, and then at the end claim that he or she have given his or her life to Jesus Christ. Sadly enough, that is the type of believer we have today with us.

The most important questions here are these: are you truly saved? Are you what you claim you are? Who did you give your life to? Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or did you just hear about Him as your Lord and Savior?

True salvation is a personal encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost. It is an encounter that changes
everything - changing a man from mere flesh and blood to a child of the living God. At that point, the Holy Ghost takes a seat in our spirit man, bringing along God the Father and God the Son. We become, in a nutshell, a mobile temple of the living God.

But the temple of God must remain holy even as our God is also holy. So, just as some folks in the Old Testament desecrated the then temple of God, by selling doves and all manners of wares therein; so also we can desecrate ourselves as temples of God by subjecting ourselves to all manners of satanic and worldly vices.

-The Perfect Will Of God Is In Every Child Of God-
As we have earlier stressed, the perfect will of God is with the Spirit of God, and the same Spirit indwells every child of God. All the child of God must do in order to be in the perfect will of God at all times, is to be strictly led by the same Spirit of God in all his or her ways and means.

The perfect will of God is not something we must labor to locate. It is with the Spirit Who also indwells us. All we must to is to yield totally and unconditionally to the will of that Spirit, and then we would be gliding effortlessly through life in the perfect will of God. It is as simple as that.

Men and brethren, it takes a childish heart to walk in the perfect will of God – for the things of God are foolishness to the wisest of this life. That is why Master Jesus once warned that for one to make it to heaven; he or she must come to God as a child.

Yes, the Bible says that in understanding be men; yet the greatest man or woman before God is the child-man, even the child-woman!

-Those God Uses-
I often read folks describing leadership, even in Christ, in very mature and diligent terms. And by diligence I mean worldly diligence. But the greatest leader before God is the servant of all. Whosoever desires to lead in Christ must learn to become a servant. And the ways of the servant are with the Holy Ghost.

Men and brethren, God does not use the best of the world, or even the wisest of the world, or the strongest for that matter. Rather He uses the foolish things of the earth, the despised, the down-trodden, the no-bodies – for the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God, the weakness of God is stronger than the strongest of folks. And He does so that no living may glory in His presence.

The perfect will of God is that no one takes part of His glory – all glory, all honor, all adoration, are His and His alone.

-Still Defining The True Believer-
The simplest and purest definition of the child of God is whosoever is led by the Spirit of God. Whosoever is not led by the Spirit of God is not a child of God. This also is the word of God.

And the Holy Spirit will never lead us into the permissive will of God, never. His leading is strictly according to the perfect will of God per time. And when we live by His leading we are living by the word of God, we are also living by faith.

-Of Men And Women Of Principle-
Have you not heard of some folks boasting that this man or that woman is a man of woman of principle? And when such qualities are sounded folks are bound to consider their ways.

But I am standing on the authority of the Holy Ghost to announce to the whole world, that God is not seeking for principled men and women, but for godly men and women. Being principled is not the same as being godly. There are millions of principled folks that are not saved. Even some of them that are saved do find it rather difficult to bend their so-called principles in order to accommodate the demands of the Holy Ghost per time. Are you like that?

Unless what you call your personal principles are strictly in line with the perfect will of God per time, your principles are worthless before God.

The ways of God are not the ways of men and of women. Your principles must be God’s principles, and at all times. And what are God’s principles? Are they not His word as revealed by the Holy Ghost per time, even His perfect will?

We must strive to be led by the Spirit of God at all times, and not by your worldly principles. No matter how lofty and commendable your ways, the ways of God are superior and preferred. The ways of God are eternal and life giving. Go for it. Strive to always please God at all times in spite of your personal standards.

-Of Peace Of Men And Of Peace Of God-
Many believing folks justify their actions by claiming that they have “peace” in what they are doing. To them having that “peace” is evidence that they in the perfect will of God. And to some extent they are correct

But the question that arises here is this: which “peace” are they referring to – the peace of God or the peace of the world?

Many folks have set their own standards of following God, and often find “peace” whenever they get to that standard. Yet they are not walking in the perfect will of God – they are walking in their own personal will, and enjoying their own “peace”. This is very dangerous indeed, because it often leads to a reprobate mind.

How, for instance, can one be manifesting blatant wickedness and speaking of being at “peace” with herself or himself? What has actually happened to that person is that he or she has taken a position in life in spite of God.

Some also attach such “peace” to the words of the scriptures! They pick some letters of the scriptures that suit their wicked and ungodly pleasures, and then come to a certain type of “peace”. They are at “peace” when folks around them are suffering; they are at “peace” when their personal ego is at “peace”.

Yet, deep inside them, the Holy Spirit is nudging them to do the right thing. And in the height of their arrogance, they call the voice of God the voice of confusion. It is amongst such that you often hear that inglorious phrase “that God is not the Author of confusion”. Yet they are the ones that are confused.

Instead of them to obey the voice of the Holy Ghost, they find a satanic protective cover in that very phrase. And they often end up tragically. And when they so pass away many do mourn them as fallen heroes. But they were not: they were just too strong for God and He spewed them out of His mouth! Are you like that?

-Of God’s Peace-
Men and brethren, the peace of God is the peace that is of our spirit and not of our minds. It is called the inner peace, the peace that lies deep in our spirit man. It is the peace the Bible describes as passing all understanding. Yes, it passes all understanding because it is not accessible by the human mind – it is entirely of the spirit. It is of God.

Yes, the perfect will of God comes also with peace, but that is His peace. And that is the peace that stands in the midst of all manners of voices. It is the peace that is within, inner, holy, righteous, and of the Spirit of God. It is not a mental exercise; it comes from constant and deliberate exercise in godliness and holiness, and deep prayer.

And take note, that if you are living in sin, even as a believer, and you still have “peace”, the chances are that you have developed a reprobate mind. You have hardened your heart to the truth. You may even have quenched the Holy Ghost in your life. You have now developed your own righteousness. You are on the path of destruction. And deliverance can only come your way by share divine intervention.

But thank God that the power to save and deliver such is available in this very mandate.

-Of Crucifying The Flesh-
Salvation demands that we crucify our flesh against all the lusts of this life. It is not a matter of choice, it is mandatory, if one must live a victorious life in Christ.

We crucify the flesh as we follow the leading of the Holy Ghost day by day. As we yield to Him day by day, we become more spiritualized and less carnal. And as we become more spiritualized, our fleshly desires are suppressed under our spiritual desires. And when that happens, we are more likely to walk according to the leading of the Holy Ghost than by our personal desires.

Brethren of the Lord, we don’t crucify the flesh just by going now and them to mountains to pray and fast. Yes, we need to do that too. But crucifying the flesh is more or less a daily affair – subjecting our flesh to the strictest demands of God’s holiness and righteousness in Christ Jesus – constantly drawing ourselves away from the world and worldly influences – for we know that friendship with the world is enmity with God.

-The Immutability of God’s Word-
The word of God stands sure forever and ever. It is futile and hopeless fighting it - it is unstoppable. No force in heaven or on earth can stop the word of God. We either choose to submit to it or be swept away by it.

What you have read in all the parts of this message is the word of the living God. I have not written these things to attract attention to myself or to scare anyone, but to encourage us, and myself also, to walk discreetly in the Lord. And I do not need the commendation of any man or any woman, living or dead, concerning these things. God must take all the glory.

God’s approval of this work is manifest in the continuing testimonies of many all over the world. We have credible testimonies of healing of the spirit, of the mind and of the body. We have infallible testimonies of manifold divine intervention in the lives of folks as they accept our teachings. There is also overwhelming evidence that early revival has broken out in some localities and families occasioned by these publications.

Therefore if you know you are saved, live also as one who is saved. When Christ shall appear we shall see Him as He is, because we shall be like Him. Are you truly like Him? Search yourselves and apply your hearts to true wisdom.

-The Conclusion Of The Matter-
Men and brethren, we must challenge ourselves to serve the Lord in truth and in spirit. It is much easier to serve the Lord than to serve satan. We serve God with His own life and ability in us. It is a stress free journey walking in and with the Lord - casting ALL our burdens at His feet. It is not by our power or by our might, but entirely by His Spirit, says the Lord.

All that is expected of us is total and unconditional submission to the written word of God and to the daily leading of the Holy Ghost. And having done so, we must also pray the Father to perfect our love for Him and for brethren, because perfect love casts out all fear.

Whatever satan offers is at a terrible price – and that price is our soul. A walk with satan only ends up in eternal damnation. All the beauty and splendor associated with satan and the world come to nothing at last. All the glory of satan and of the world is temporary and fleeting.

In God and in Him alone, through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, is internal life – a life of endless bliss and glory, from eternity to eternity.

Decide today whom ye will serve: satan and the world for eternal damnation or, the living God for eternal life and endless bliss. The choice is yours.
