"MASTER IN SECRET"

The preacher of the gospel is like the sower. He does not make his seed; it is given him by his divine Master.

No man could create the smallest grain that ever grew upon the earth, much less the celestial seed of eternal life.

The minister goes to his Master in secret, and asks him to teach him his gospel, and thus he fills his basket with the good seed of the kingdom.

He then goes forth in his Master's name and scatters precious truth.

If he knew where the best soil was to be found, perhaps he might limit himself to that which had been prepared by the plough of conviction; but not knowing men's hearts, it is his business to preach the gospel to every creature—to throw a handful on the hardened heart, and another on the mind which is overgrown with the cares and pleasures of the world.

He has to leave the seed in the care of the Lord who gave it to him, for he is not responsible for the harvest, he is only accountable for the care and industry with which he does his work.

If no single ear should ever make glad the reaper, the sower will be rewarded by His Master if he had planted the right seed with careful hand.

If it were not for this fact with what despairing agony should we utter the cry of Esaias, "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"

2 Corinthians 3

"UNVEILED FACES"

¹² Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech

unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 

 ¹⁴ But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 

 ¹⁵ But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

¹⁶ Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

BeyondTheVeilDaily, Selah; When you look into the your spiritual mirror, what do you behold this morning?  Is it the image of transformation? It is our hope, the image you see in the mirror, is the glory of the Lord!!  Glory! to Glory!  

2 Corinthians 4

 

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

 

² But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 

 

 ³ But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 

 

 ⁴ whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

 

⁵ For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

 

⁶ For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

"SAVAGE WOLVES"

ACTS 20

 For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

²⁸ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

²⁹ For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

³⁰ Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 

 ³¹ Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.



Dear overseers; This morning do you shed tears for His Church?  Take heed therefore to yourselves, because you shepherd the flock, which He purchased with His own blood. If this is not your daily conviction, then quickly return to the altar of prayer, until weeping returns again to your soul.
Is not mother, father, brother, sister, grandma, and grandpa, all overseers? In deed they are. "Acts 16:31

So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
 

1 Tim 3

 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. ² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; ³ not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; ⁴ one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence ⁵ (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); ⁶ not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. ⁷ Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

"HEAVEN TOUCHED LIPS"


Christian, make your life a clear testimony.

Be you as the brook wherein you may see every stone at the bottom—not as the muddy creek, of which you only see the surface—but clear and transparent, so that your heart's love to God and man may be visible to all.

You need not say, "I am true:" be true. Boast not of integrity, but be upright.

So shall your testimony be such that men cannot help seeing it. Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.

Your lips have been warmed with a coal from off the altar; let them speak as like heaven-touched lips should do.

"In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand."

"HIT PAUSE"


In Psalm 46:10 , our word for today from the Word of God, He says, "Be still, and know that I am God." Hit pause and remember who's really in charge here, whose battle this really is, and whose plans you're supposed to be pursuing. God may be trying to get you to slow down or to stop right now so He can show you some things that you are never going to see if you're on the run.
It could be that you've been running ahead of the Lord's timing, or you've been pursuing what you want instead of what He wants. Isaiah quotes the Lord as saying, "Woe to the obstinate children...to those who carry out plans that are not Mine..." (Isaiah 30:1 ). Those are sobering words. Often we can't see that we're trying desperately to make something work that wasn't God's idea in the first place. He has to pull us over to the side of the road for us to realize that we're on the wrong road.
Or maybe you've been neglecting the regular timeout that God calls a "Sabbath"; you're all accelerator and no brakes, you're violating God's created order of taking regular rest. It's possible that God's been trying to say some very important things to you, things that would bring sense to your swirling world, but you can't hear Him because you're running so fast. Whatever the reason for your non-stop pace, I know there has to be someone listening right now to whom God is saying, "It's time to hit 'pause.'" Don't ignore His call to "be still and know that He is God."
If we don't choose to slow down, He will as the 23rd Psalm says, "make us lie down in green pastures." He has many creative ways to get you to slow down if you don't choose to slow down - health, finances, crises, family problems. He asks us to pause, or ultimately makes us pause, not to punish us, but to refit us. He's wanting to slow you down for work that needs to be done, for refueling that you desperately need, for retooling, or for redirecting you back into the center of His will. And He's actually wired us to do what His Son did at the beginning of His unbelievably busy days here on earth - to spend quiet time with Him. To hit 'pause' each new day so we can hear our Master's voice before we hear any other, appropriate our Master's resources, experience our Master's healing touch, and receive our Master's orders for the day.
When you don't hit "pause," you'll end up running right past the God that you can't do without.

Romans 8:38-39

"SEPARATED FROM GOD ?"

 ^"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

BeyondTheVeilDaily; "No power on earth or heaven can separate us from God's love. Not our sin, not any authority, not any spiritual force. God's love is unshakable and can always be relied upon." The question to you this morning; is are you "convinced?"     
 

Isaiah 61

"TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS"

The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

 

And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,

And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

 

We are God's trees in the garden of the Lord, planted by the Lord Himself. In His Name we bring the oil of joy, for those who mourn, praise to those who have a heavy spirit, and who have grown weary in their walk of faith.

 

Distracted, these brothers put aside for trivial things, the higher call to rebuild the ruins of cities. The call to restore and rebuild the desolations of many generations, where demons have succeeded in destroying the testimony of families.

 

Called trees of righteousness, planted for a purpose and a plan, for a specific time and place. So, why do these brothers fail, and get lost in the forest of distractions. The answer is found in John chapter 15.

 

 

The True Vine

JOHN  15  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.  You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.   Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.  By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

BeyondTheVeil  would humbly suggest the answer is  found  in  the  failure  to abide, to  live a life that proclaims Christ as home, and glorifies The Father.  This  life refuses  to live without  the  anointed  sap,  that  flows only  from  the "True Vine." This brother,  will  never  have  the   need   to  declare who  they are in Christ, or who their Father is; because they  will be  bearers of the fruit for which He  pruned  them; and sent them, into the generation they now find themselves, as His; "Trees of Righteous!"

 

 

 

 

 

"YOU MUST BELIEVE!"

Hebrews 11

 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

BeyondTheVeil, would like to encourage those of you who have not received your answer from God.  Discouragement has brought into your minds his friends fear and doubt. You feel alone. forsaken from the only One who can set you free. Is that you this evening?

Then hear these words and take them into your prayer room, for a time of meditation before the Lord;  "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Your answer has already arrived! God is faithful, He is a rewarder of the diligent seeker. He has heard your cry.  Your answer will be revealed right on time. "Blessed are the eyes that see the things that you see, and the ears that hear, the things that you hear." "Faith is substance!!!!!!!!!!"  Hallelujah!
