Message 16
What would it be like if you had the chance as a prophet to speak to a prophet who has passed onto glory who has now come to earth to take you back to heaven? Bob Jones takes me to visit the Galactic Council in heaven
Bob:
How are you doing?
Matthew:
I have been feeling funny and out of sorts for a couple of days. I am getting more attack and have been delayed from doing this so I thought I was go down the shop, but a Coca Cola and get down to it.
Bob:
That is what perseverance is all about. We can’t always be in the mood. There are plenty of times you care called to minister on earth when you are not feeling up to it. You have to go within and find something to give to the people. Today is a day like that for you. Shall we ascend?
Matthew:
Yes, let’s go.
Jesus meets me and embraces me in a hug. It is a wonderful feeling and I stay in the hug for a while.
Jesus:
I am so proud of you my friend. You have courage to do this series of books. You also are obedient to pursue this each time you come. I love you so very much.
You are a joy to me. I love how you are so compliant to my will. The enemy tries to stop you in every way that he can and yet you just seem to press through and come anyway. I want you to know that I am very happy with you. You please me in so many ways.
Matthew:
Thank you Jesus. That means a lot to me. I love to please you.
Jesus:
Today I am going to have John speak to your heart. I know that you will be blessed.
Matthew:
Ok.
John the Baptist.
You just had a shower and in the show you sensed that I was going to speak with you. I am glad to be here and to able to speak to you.
You have a purpose here on earth. You are here to introduce the world to Jesus Christ. Not the Jesus they read about and they hear preached in their churches. But you are here to show them the living Jesus, the one that wants them to love him and obey his teachings on earth.
You have a role to somewhat re—present Jesus to the church. The Jesus they think they know, and the one they think they follow is different to the real Jesus.
Of course, people love Jesus. They love the Jesus that they know. And yet, Jesus calls people to the narrow road if they are to follow him and your job is to show people the narrow road.
Jesus said that wide is the road that leads to destruction. The sad thing is that this wide road is preached in many churches. The narrow road, the one that Jesus took and modelled, is somewhat harder to follow and a lot fewer people take it.
The fact that few people take this road does not mean that it cannot be followed and not be found by people that are on the wide road. And though the narrow road might be harder to pursue, it is one where the fullness of joy is found. There is real joy in the right path.
Some might say, what is the right path? What is the narrow road that I am not following?
The path is following Jesus in all he said and taught. The path is not just about knowing about Jesus, it is about knowing Jesus personally and being directed by him day by day. It is not about being recognized in name as a Christian, it is learning how to be Jesus to your generation.
Matthew:
This is right. This is what I am about. I am always teaching people to look up the 50 commands of Jesus and for them to follow them. I have two books on intimacy with Jesus.
John the Baptist:
Yes, you are going to teach people about the 50 commands of Jesus. You are going to write a book about them one day. The people of God need to come away from routine and religious practices and they need to get to know Jesus and communicate with Jesus and emulate Jesus with their lives on earth.
The path may be simple to state and to outline to people but even with the path being laid out, people still need to choose to follow it. This is where your teaching, and the Holy Spirits’ anointing come in to persuade the people to make the steps that it will take people to leave the wide road and come onto the narrow road.
The sad thing is that people that are Christians think that they are already on the narrow road. Many of them think that since they become a Christian they entered the narrow road. These people assume what they are doing is right and so they are not even looking to change anything that they are doing.
That is why we need you to show people that there is a better way to live. That is why we need you to show people that you can change and be in communion with Jesus every day and be led by him in all that you do and say. Rather than just sharing with people that they need to change and how they need to change, we are going to have you also share what you are up to, and how your life is different so people yearn for change.
Not everybody walks and talks to saints, angels and Jesus. Not everybody has a supernatural life. The people of God many times have no idea what their purpose is. For people to see that you know your purpose, that you walk with peace and joy and you live a supernatural life may be something that will make a person want to know how you do it.
The people that are not walking in the narrow way have no idea that this is the case and for a large part this is not their fault but the fault of their teachers that they have had. Preachers sadly all around the world as blind to the ways of Jesus and teach rules and religion rather than what Jesus taught. The people of God need to be led by people that know the way, and they have to learn to talk to Jesus and be directed by him.
Matthew:
This sounds like what I know what I have to do. It is good for you to go over it for me. I am happy that heaven agrees about what I am here for and what I am supposed to do.
John the Baptist:
It is good that you are clear about what God wants you to do. It will take time and patience for you to teach this message, year after year. Your books will return to the same theme time and time again. You have already noticed that the Holy Spirit returns you to the same theme again and again. People might need to be told more than once.
Even myself, who was the prophet announcing Jesus went into a period of doubt about him and I sent my disciples to ask Jesus if he was really who he said he was. That being recorded in the scriptures should come as a warning to people that life can be hard and pressures can make you doubt even your own purpose.
There is going to come times in your life Matthew where you are going to wonder if you are really making a difference. There are going to come times of attack where you are going to just get sick and tired of saying the same thing over and over again. You are going to wish that you had something new to share rather than simply directing people to Jesus and his ways but you will have to persist. Of course, Jesus will have you share many revelations that will be new and fresh, but in the course of sharing them, you will have to also share the message that people need to obey him and follow him.
You see Matthew people are happy to run after revelation and new insights from heaven and they will run after them all day, but to be told to read the Gospels and make sure they obey what Jesus taught, that is something that is not too attractive to them.
There are people that will read your books and say that you are a broken record in a review. They will be people that have read a number of your books and seen the common theme of obeying Jesus commands and leaving the world behind to become set apart.
I want you to know that we are behind you in all of this. You can imagine how Jesus feels when people honor him in praise and worship and yet they refuse to obey what he taught. Can you imagine being the world’s most famous teacher and the God of many people’s religion and yet seeing many of your followers not doing what you taught.
I want you to share to share the link to the 50 Commands of Jesus in the Kindle version of the book here:
Okay, that is what I wanted to say. Goodbye for now.
Matthew:
Goodbye John.
Jesus:
Are you okay with the fact that we are going to use you to point people back to me and my commands?
Matthew:
Someone has to do it Lord because few people understand that people need to do it. People seem to have no idea that obeying you is the way to be a proper Christian. That is the way that we are going to change the world. That is the way that we are going to make a difference.
I am sure that you will allow me to write on many things to give me some variety but I can see that I will have a common theme to speak about.
Thank you Jesus.
Jesus:
That is enough for today. You did well. You were fighting all the way through to stay concentrating. I am glad that you persisted. Bye now.
Matthew:
Bye Jesus. Bye John. Bye Saints.
Bob:
That was a shorter one today. You did very well. You can proof read it and post it now.
Matthew:
Thanks Bob. I like that cowboy hat and straw sticking out of your mouth. It’s cute.
Bob:
Ha ha. Just seeing that you are looking at me. see you later.
