So much to respond to. Okay, I will give it my best shot, my Lord willing (and peace to you all!)... while I wait for the traffic to thin out...
Thanks for the reply Shelby
You are quite welcome, dear Loz (peace to you!)
...could you expand on the how his son and the holy spirit are making this name known please?
Certainly. He simply tells anyone who asks.
I'm not being perverse I really want to know what you believe in this regard...
I did not think that at all of you, dear one, truly. I thought you absolutely sincere...
Almighty God is a god of order so we know he wont be leaving it to mere chance that this name gets known specifically, if thats what he wants....?
You are correct. The word of my Lord to me is that it is not a name that is revealed to the world. As he is recorded to have said of and to the Father, "I have made your name known... to the men YOU HAVE GIVEN ME." To those he gives the Father's name... and his own. When I asked WHY it is that way (because he said "you" would ask)... he said that it is because he is the Holy Spirit... and since the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit, and thus cannot receive him... it is not FOR them to have. It is for those who belong to HIM... those who would RECEIVE it.
Was it for everyone here? No. The problem, however, is not HIS... but mine. Many times he would heal someone and then tell them to tell no one. Such one, however, was not only unable to retain their joy and so DID tell... they did so almost before they were out of his sight. I am such a one. That is the ONLY reason I share a great deal of what I do. I cannot help it. It is what I would want others to do for me.
I don't think that Shelby is stating that "only by pronouncing Christ's name as JAHESHUA can one expect to have a hearing from Heaven and even be saved from the broad road of destruction".
Of I didn't state... or mean... such a thing, dear PSacto (peace to you, dear one!). I only know what happens when I call on that name. And since so many had expressed anger, frustration, exasperation... even despair... that they believed they WEREN'T heard... I only suggested that they CONSIDER the name they were calling on. Works for me. I only offered what works for me. I am almost sorry that I did (almost).
I love Outlaw.
I love dear Outlaw, too, dear NL (the greatest of love and peace to you and your household, dear one!). And I am ashamed... truly... that he, although NOT professed to be a member of our Lord's Body... at least TRIES to understand... rather than running to take offense... rather than slapping his hands over his ears and crying out "No! I don't WANT to hear it!". If he doesn't understand something, if I am unclear... he bothers to ask me TO be clear. Sometimes publicly, sometimes privately. And if he agrees with it... cool... and if he doesn't (like others are don't even profess to believe in God, let alone be a member of the Body of Christ)... cool.
The world wonders why "we" so-called "christians" are so divided. There are many reasons, including... but certainly not limited to: (1) not all who profess to be Israel truly ARE Israel (anyone can SAY they're "anointed" - indeed, it was prophesied that many would... even when they weren't); (2) not all who profess to be Israel follow the Fine Shepherd; indeed, most follow earthling men; and (3) ... and many... MANY.... love the "glory" of MEN... so much more than they love the "glory"... of God. As a result, they will believe... and say... whatever is POPULAR... whatever "tickles the ears"... whatever the "rest" believe and say... those who are on the broad road. They totally FORGET... it is a narrow... cramped... skinny... road that the Body walks on. And so the ONLY way they are able to navigate... is by following the LAMB... and HIS voice... and not the writings or voices... of men.
So much of what I've seen and heard... and been given to share... I've responded to with "What, Lord? You want me to say what?? But that goes against/flies in the face of all that they know... all that they've been taught!" And so, you know what he says to me, dear NL? Do you think he says,
"Well, child, you're right... better not tell them that, huh, 'cause they can't take it and, well, we don't want to stumble them, do we, so, yeah, you're right, let's just let them walk in darkness a little longer?"
No, dear one... that is not what he says at all. He says, "My sheep know my voice, child. You, for YOUR part... listen to ME... and obey ME... and say as I have said to you. As for them... they are mine: leave them... to me."
And so, I do.
Again, I bid you all peace.
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SA
