The Bride Has Gone AWOL—Where Are The Gypsies Of David?
“I’ll tell you what the hell lethargy is—Lethargy has deadened many within My church. The world has been under his spell since the beginning. Many misunderstand this demon. His mission is to cast a blanket of spiritual laziness over the souls of men. He works with other demons to distract and lull to sleep the masses. Prosperity is one of his favorite tools, which he uses against My church children with great success.”
“The very nature of lethargy, keeps you from taking note of it. It seems like a small thing, and there are so many other much more pressing matters to tend to, so you ignore it‚ thinking it’ll go away or be resolved in time. But it doesn’t just go away, because you’ve forgotten the law of spiritual progress: ” Jesus speaking
“You’re not alarmed when a day goes by without your having spent time in My Word or seeking My voice and counsel in prophecy. And then another day goes by, and another. You eke out a little time in the spirit each day with a small prayer here, a little devotions there, a quick praise time here, a few words of love to Me there, as if these could appease Me like sacrifices to some god, lest your conscience overtake you for forsaking Me fully.” What the Hell is Lethargy?
“If you don’t keep on getting‚ you’ll lose what you’ve got. If you don’t keep striving for victories‚ striving to move forward, striving to follow closely along the path that I’m leading, you begin to fall behind—and not only fall behind, but slide back. Those are the principles of spiritual physics at work‚ as sure and as definable as the rules of physics that govern your physical world. You ignore them at your own peril.” (End of message from Jesus)
“Lethargy It’s hellish and wants to make your life hell too! The Enemy relentlessly fights the importance of My Word, the power of My Word. He uses familiarity, for he knows this is a trick easily accepted by many.”
Battlefield of the mind: “Evil never surrenders its hold without a sore fight. We never pass into any spiritual inheritance through the delightful exercises of a picnic, but always through the grim contentions of the battle field. It is so in the secret realm of the soul. Every faculty which wins its spiritual freedom does so at the price of blood. Apollyon is not put to flight by a courteous request; he straddles across the full breadth of the way, and our progress has to be registered in blood and tears. This we must remember or we shall add to all the other burdens of life the gall of misinterpretation. We are not “born again” into soft and protected nurseries, but in the open country where we suck strength from the very terror of the tempest. “We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” –Dr. J. H. Jowett
“Lethargy is a strange and ominous creature. It seeks to creep into your midst unawares, often little by little, building up slowly and over a period of time. He may be powerful and he may have caught many Christians in his snare‚ but all the same rules still apply to that demon! He must bow his ugly head, as all the others must, at My Name and at your binding spells in the power of the keys (Video).”
Weak in faith—Lethargy: “If you are to focus on the power (PDF) of the keys, if you are to allow the words I speak to you to dictate your life (PDF), you must rid yourselves of all that stands in the way of this. Detach yourselves from other things that clutter your life—the cares of the world, the pride of life, anything that opposes My Word.” “Just as Satan attacks the citizens of the world on their quality of life, trying to destroy their physical bodies through anxiety, depression, mental and social problems, through a multitude of physical ailments and maladies, so his drive against you, My brides‚ is to launch even greater attacks on the quality of your spiritual lives—your time with Me, your time in the Word, your time in meditation and prayer.”
“They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever!” (Daniel 12:3). Those that are wise will shine so brightly in the dark days ahead! But remember that many are called but few are chosen, because so few choose to follow. Many will lament, “If I only had! If I only had been wise! If I only had followed more closely. If I only had obeyed.” Don’t let those be your words! They won’t be as you diligently and faithfully obey and as you keep your priorities straight.”
The power of prayer: “All great battles are fought by My soldiers on their knees in prayer. The power of prayer is mightier than the clashing of swords! But it is an unknown war, only between you and a few others and My Father in Heaven. This stirring of yourself and of your time will help you defeat the spirit of lethargy..”
The secret of success is the Word: “If you’re weak in faith it’s because you’re weak in the Word! And it’s your own fault if you’re weak in the Word, because you’re either not reading the Word, you’re ignorant of the Word, or you’re not receiving the Word! ” What is Jesus worth to you “The foundation of any Christian should be the Word. If you don’t hold on to the Word for dear life, you will be weak in faith and you’re going to find yourself slipping into the oblivion of little or no usefulness to the Lord. He wants to use you, but He can only do so if you keep your mind stayed on Him and His Word.” “The secret of success is the Word, nothing can stand against My Word! Nothing can stand against the keys to the Kingdom (PDF)!Love is the greatest force; My Word is the greatest force; the power of the keys to the Kingdom is the greatest force in the world, in the heavens, in the universe!”
“It is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim’s progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the Celestial City. It was there that Doubting Castle stood. It was there that the enchanted ground lured the tired traveler to fatal slumber. It is when Heaven’s heights are full in view that hell’s gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril. “Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” “So run, that ye may obtain.” STREAMS MARCH 5
