HE ROSE AGAIN

CHAPTER 13
OUR GOD REIGNS
In Isaiah, chapter 52, the prophet Isaiah prophesied by the Spirit of God, about 750 years prior to Jesus’ coming, dying, being buried, and rising again. He prophesied in verse 7:
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Does your God reign? Or do you know Jesus just as Savior? Have you ever been told that Jesus reigns?
I Corinthians 15:25 and 26 say:
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet (v.25).
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (v.26).
Have you ever read that?
Notice what I Corinthians 15:24 says: ”When he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.“ He is going to reign until all rule, authority, and power have been put down. Would you agree?
Isaiah 52:8 says, ”Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.“
Do you see the last part of this verse? ”For they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.“ If Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics, and all other denominations do not see eye to eye, Jesus is not your Lord, and you are not in Zion.
Do not kid yourself! If you are a denominational person, Word person, charismatic, or something else, and if you do not teach the same doctrine, then you do not see eye to eye. If you do not see eye to eye, then you cannot walk in fellowship, one with another.
I John 1:7 states: ”But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.“ See this!
”Eye to eye...“ ”Walk in the light...“ Jesus is the Light. He is the Word that was manifested in the flesh. There is no place for denominations. There is no place for divisions in the body of Christ because all should see eye to eye.
Amos 3:3 makes this statement: ”Can two walk together, except they be agreed?“ They cannot. How can you see eye to eye unless you have the same doctrine? You cannot have your Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, ”Word,“ or other doctrine, and say that you are of Christ unless your doctrine agrees with the doctrine of Christ. You are only kidding yourself. You are deceived, my friend.
In I Timothy 1:3, Paul says, “That thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,...” That verse says, “No other doctrine.”
The Bible is simple. It is written on a fifth grade level. If you can read on a fifth grade level, you can read the Bible. If you will humble yourself, God will give you understanding.
Notice the last part of Isaiah 52:8, “They shall see eye to eye”--glory be to God--“when the Lord shall bring again Zion.” Zion is surely the church.
God is going to bring the church into unity--eye to eye. Ephesians 4:3 says we should “endeavour...to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” “Keep the unity of the Spirit.” “Endeavour...to keep it.” God is going to bring us eye to eye.
Ephesians 4:13 says, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,...” This verse tells us that we must come into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God. Then we will see eye to eye.
You are going to have to walk with me whether you like it or not, because the doctrine I preach is Jesus. His doctrine is coming forth from His throne, by His Spirit, through my heart. You will have to walk with me and see eye to eye. You cannot hide behind your denominational doctrine. You cannot hide behind falsehoods and lies and say that you love Jesus. That cannot be true.
Jesus is confronting you and challenging you this day because of your hypocritical actions:
A PROPHECY
I say to you, if you will humble yourself, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from your wicked ways, you will hear from heaven. I will forgive your sins of rebellion. I will heal your land. The Lord would say unto you, that you have sought ways that are not My ways. You have gone after ways that are not Mine. You have gone after strange gods. You have gone after gods of prosperity and gods of healing, where there are no such gods. You have not sought the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God that healeth thee, the God that giveth you wealth, the God that causes you to prosper, the God that prospereth your soul, and, accordingly, will prosper you and give you health. But you have sought strange gods and sought gods that do not exist. You have departed from the way and erred and have coveted money and filthy lucre. You have pierced asunder your own soul. You departed from the God that loves you. Humble yourself this day, and return to God, the God that loves you, your first love, the God that led you out of the wilderness, the God that revealed Himself unto you, healed you and made you prosperous, forgave your sins and led you in a right way. Then God will receive you this day, saith the Lord. He will receive you as a sheep gone astray, and bring you into that fold, and plant you. Then you will be to Him a blessing in the earth, saith the Lord.
Well, praise God! God spoke to me five years ago and said that the church of America could not discern its left hand from its right hand. That was five years ago in July, 1985. He told me at that moment in time, “I am going to judge the United States of America with your mouth.”
I could not believe that then, but I do now. I accept that. If you can accept that, praise God. If you cannot, that is fine, too. That is not a problem to me. That is between God and you.
When God brings again Zion, the church will see eye to eye. Praise God! The church will see eye to eye when it has heard the gospel and has believed it. Jesus died, was buried, and rose again the third day. This is a great time to serve God and obey Him!
