WE NEED TO STOP HOPING AND DREAMING BUT IT'S TIME TO START WALKING IN FAITH

WE NEED TO STOP HOPING AND DREAMING BUT IT'S TIME TO START WALKING IN FAITH.

by Hidden Remnant

As I was scrolling on my feed.

Just minding my own business.

But I ran into a quote that says,

"IMAGINE JESUS SITTING"

added with....

"RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, SAYING"

Before I continue to share my thoughts.💭

First thing first, to most believers who do not have a relationship with the Father would most likely give it a thumbs up and liked. 👍🏼

But for those who actually have a 'REAL' deeper intimate relationship with Jesus would find this bugos means counterfeit.

Why? Because it's not real, but just faking it. Pretending to have a relationship with Jesus is outrageous and a sin to Him.

And while I type this, Father said "IT'S FAKE" it angers my pa.

When ministers pretend they walk with Him, because though many are believers but not all walk with Him Father said.

It takes a lot of DYING TO SELF to walk with Him. Wherefore we can't just be so quick to claim,

WE HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM when it's not true, for the Lord knows the intention of the heart, He knows what is true, and when we lie.

NOTHING IS HIDDEN TO HIM.

Just because you accepted Him as Lord and Savior that does not mean YOU ARE WALKING WITH HIM instantly. For there is much work to be done on your part, and His expectation and standards are high for God is not cheap, before you reach the level to be a friend of God.

And just because you serve Him, it does not mean you are walking with Him. Please discern the difference. You may say you believe in His name, and He is your LORD and SAVIOR yes and that is true. But that is not the same as having an intimate relationship with Him.

Being a close friend with God means walking with God.

When we say we walk with God.

We are claiming we are intimate with Him, and have seen Gods person.

Have you seen Gods face like Enoch seen Gods face to face? Like Moses seen Gods face? Like Elijah encountered God and have seen the personality of God? Have you sat and dine with Jesus and His angels personally like Abraham the Father of all nations?

Well have you?

Throughout generations since the beginning of time. There are only 4 mighty men of God who actually walked with God ( personally. )

This is not just something they came up in their minds. But it happened in real life during the time of Enoch, Abraham, Moses and Elijahs time. They have seen Gods face and they have spoken with God face to face.

These 4 man of faith walk with God.

Enoch was brought by Arkangel Michael to stand before the throne of God and the first time Enoch has ever seen Gods face. Enoch drop on the floor and bowed before the Sovereign Lord in awe of His majesty and glory.

Before God destroyed Sodom, and Gamorrah, Jesus came down from heaven with Arkangel Michael, and Arkangel Raphael on earth to visit Abraham in person.

While they sat down and rested, Abraham prepared a hot meal for them to eat before they proceeded and that was when Father warned Abraham about His judgment upon Sadoma and Gamorrah.

When God called Moses, He showed up at the burning bush as a consuming fire and spoke to Him the first time. The second time is when Father summoned Moses to come away at the Mount Zion to commune with God in the secret place for 40 days. And during Moses time. He was the only one who have seen Gods face.

When Elijah heard Jezebel is plotting to kill him, he ran and hid in a cave of mount horeb for 40 days. During this time was the time God truly REVEALED HIMSELF to Elijah. And that was the first time Elijah seen the person of the LORD.

These are all biblical not made up.

Thus what about you? Have you seen Gods face like Moses, Elijah, Abraham, Enoch? Have you had an encounter and seen Jesus face to face? Have you visited heaven and ascended in the realms of glory?

If the answer is no.

Then you are not there yet, and perhaps you have more to work on yourself to attain such responsibilities. For much is given much is also required of you. As it sound pretentious. I just want to help you open your eyes thus you don't deceived yourself.

Those mighty men of faith walk with God because they paid a high price. And why they have an intimate closeness to the divinity of the Godhead like no other man ever lived before.

We cannot claim to say, we all walk with God, because to walk with Him there is a high price to pay.

GOD IS NOT CHEAP, IN ORDER TO WALK WITH HIM YOUR LIFE MUST BE A LIFE OF A LIVING SACRIFICE.

The list below are the requirements to walk with God.

✔️Are you willing to give ALL your posession to the poor and give it away?

✔️Are you willing to leave family, friends and love ones to follow Jesus?

✔️Are you willing to be stripped off naked and die to self?

✔️Are you willing to carry your cross and suffer for His name sake daily?

✔️Are you willing to be crucified on the cross? ( spiritually not literal )

✔️Are you willing to deny the flesh?

✔️Are you willing to give up everything, leave your job/career, business, and follow Jesus?

✔️Just like what the 12 disciples of Jesus did? They all left their family, wives, children, parents and work just to follow Jesus?

✔️Are you willing to go through the levels of scrutiny, hardship, struggle, pain, sufferings, hate, persecution, and slander?

✔️Will you endure to the end after everything has been taken away from you just like Job? Will you remain faithful?

✔️Will you give up all the desires of your heart to follow Jesus? For this is what it takes to deny self you must be willing to give up everything for the Lord.

Just like Apostle Paul who was one of the most hated, despiced and ridiculed disciple of Jesus Christ?

Will you walk Pauls walk?

Are you willing to walk their walk?

This is not just about talk your talk.

For many can talk this days, about what they can do, and who they think they are in their head but with no actions.

Father said there are not one person in the whole entire world who ever paid a price to follow Him. I REPEAT NOT ONE.

Not even your most favorite famous anointed prophet or apostles on social media paid any price.

Thus anyone who ever tells you, they walk with Jesus is a lie because Father said so.

You must be seperated from the world, and live a life of consecration like how Enoch live his life on earth.

Again let me ask you this,

Have you ascended in heaven?

If you have not experienced the inner court, and ascended into the holy of holies in the secret place, then my brother and sister you do not have what it takes to walk with God.

Stop the delusion.

Wake up and get real with yourself.

Father is just shaking His head because too many people are depicted with such illusions in their minds believing what is not true.

Back to the topic.

As I read,

"IMAGINE JESUS SITTING BESIDE YOU SAYING" 💭

Instantly, I feel grieve in the spirit.

Because this is what the church is teaching the people today. Pretty much to fake it until you make it but without actually saying it. And without true actions applied by faith.

But this is not what christianity is about.

We all are to aim to have a deeper connection with the Lord by truly seeking His face deligently, and consistently until we establish intimacy with God.

This is no longer being preached today.

Everyday we are to continue doing this.

Abiding in the vine in the secret place. Apply John 15 then you shall see what I speak. Until you build a solid foundation deeply rooted and grounded in the corner stone.

Thus when the storm comes you will not be shaken or moved for you are founded in the true vine the Lord Jesus Christ.

But the issue today,

The church teach you to just "IMAGINE"

Perhaps just feel the tangible presence of God from time to time. Maybe ones a week is okay. If that is how you are living your life just feeling God ones a week.

You will not make it at the end. Because of the time and seasons many will fall away from the faith. For the times are now perilous and evil.

Without ABIDING in the VINE we are nothing and can do nothing. Let alone survive the great and dreadful day.

Truly I tell you, this is not acceptable for the Father. His expectations from all His children is high. Because He is HOLY.

AND YE MUST BE HOLY.

The church just want you to fake your relationship with God, and live a life of imagination for the rest of your life.

Without striving for a deeper encounter with Gods person, and revelation of who He is.

How sorrowful and saddening. How long are we going to continue living a lie?

Instead of teaching you to start,

"WALKING IN MANIFESTATION OF THE SUPERNATURAL WONDERS OF GOD"

We are not called to remain stagnant.

We are not called to be a mediocre.

We are not called to just sit and watch.

We are not called to remain the same.

But we are all called to walk in the glory.

Yet no one is willing to pay the price. Though they want the glory, and they want to make a name, but they do not want to pick up their cross, die to self, and give all their possesions and wealth to the poor and follow Jesus as you carry your cross daily.

They want all what God has to offer, and all the benefits that brings, but they do not want to be crucified with Jesus on the cross and live a set apart life.

As I continue to scroll.

Then I was curious to see what else is there on this page to know. I decided to investigate a little more to test the spirit.

And long and behold,

I see 66K followers and they are very well known and popular ministry. Then I began to scroll and noticed. Pay attention to this another marketing strategy from the enemy to lure people to follow famous ministers instead of pointing them to the true vine, Jesus.

I see flyers saying........

"ARE YOU FEELING SPIRITUALLY THIRSTY? DO YOU LONG FOR A DEEPER CONNECTION WITH GOD?"

If that does not sound like an "ADVERTISING" to you then my dear you who is reading this is blind too.

Because that sounds to me like an ad.

And again why I find that wrong all for the reasons of.....

Instead of directing people to 👉🏼Jesus. They are luring the crowd to follow them.

Rather than saying,

"if you are spiritually thirsty run to Jesus feet, pray and read the word, immersed in His presence in the secret place, through worship"

and...

"until you are overpowered of His glory."

That is what WE LEADERS ought to do, to tell the people SEEK JESUS. Point them to Jesus because you and I know we are not the Lord and Savior.

But the media entertainment ministry today only afters your likes, your seed of feed, your tithe, and your pockets.

Due to this they always have a strategy using persuasive and enimagtic enticing flyers, wise words, beautiful and encouraging words.....

to deceive you to follow them but not to follow Jesus.

IT'S TIME TO SEEK GODS FACE.

IT'S TIME TO SEEK YE FIRST HIS KINGDOM.

IT'S TIME TO WALK AND LIVE BY FAITH.

IT'S TIME TO STOP LIVING W/ THE MUNDANE. IT'S TIME TO STOP LIVING A LIE AND PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!!!!!!

EXODUS 3:1-14

| THE FIRST TIME MOSES SAW GOD

Then Moses said, 'I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up. ' When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, 'Moses, Moses! ' And he said, 'Here I am. ' Then he said, 'Come no closer!

GENESIS 5:22-26

| WHEN ENOCH WALK WITH GOD

After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

EXODUS 19:3-25

| WHEN MOSES SAW GODS FACE

3 Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.

9 The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.

10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful that you do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches the mountain is to be put to death. 13 They are to be stoned or shot with arrows; not a hand is to be laid on them. No person or animal shall be permitted to live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”

14 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. 15 Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.”

16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. 17 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain trembled violently. 19 As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.

20 The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up 21 and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the Lord and many of them perish. 22 Even the priests, who approach the Lord, must consecrate themselves, or the Lord will break out against them.”

23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

24 The Lord replied, “Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the Lord, or he will break out against them.”

25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.

1 KINGS 19 | WHEN ELIJAH SAW GOD

19 Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”

3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.

All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.

7 The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.

The Lord Appears to Elijah

And the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

10 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”

15 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”

GENESIS 18 | WHEN GOD VISIT ABRAHAM

The Three Visitors

18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.

3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.”

“Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”

6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick, ” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.”

7 Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.

9 “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him.

“There, in the tent,” he said.

10 Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. 11 Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. 12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”

13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”

15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.”

But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”

Abraham Pleads for Sodom

16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

26 The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five people?”

“If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.”

29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?”

He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”

30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?”

He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?”

He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it. ”

32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?”

He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.”

33 When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
