Breaking All Chains
Setting The Captives Free
Building The Temple by Peter James
As
I have said many times because we are busy building our own
personal materialistic temple, the horrific suffering in
the world continues.
This is the message to the church in Laodicea.
These are the words of Christ.
When I consider what is happening today, I can only say
that,
as far as I can see, this is precisely where the church is
today.
Revelation 3:14 ¶ And unto
the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the
faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of
God;
We are sitting on the fence.
We are neither hot nor cold.
The reality is that we are either on the one
side or the other.
There is no middle road.
There is no option to sit on the fence.
Revelation 3:15 I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:
I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16 So
then because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I know that there are many ‘good’ people out
there, but they are neither
hot nor cold.
This is a very dangerous position to adopt,
because in practice.
We are in a two horse race.
We cannot have one foot on one horse and one
foot on the other horse.
Do not accept the Roman Catholic lie of
Purgatory and Limbo.
These are just lies.
As you live so you will die.
There is absolutely no one who can change the
judgment, which resulted
from the life that you led.
Christ made it very clear that to be in the
position of being ‘lukewarm’,
has a single result.
One is violently vomited out.
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
We might well not be saying these words out
loud with our mouths,
but we are certainly saying them in our hearts,
and our deeds are shouting
out the thoughts in our hearts, loudly and
clearly.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou
sayest,
I am rich, and increased with
goods,
and have need of nothing;
Because we have been blinded, and deceived
about our true position,
Christ tells us that we do not know that we are
wretched
miserable
poor
blind
naked.
Our conceit, our pride, and our arrogance,
walks boldly before us.
and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked:
At this time of the great economic meltdown,
Christ tells us to buy gold
from Him, the true riches, not the gold that
many are seeking as security
in the present distressful situation.
It has been stated that even gold and silver
bars, and coins are being
counterfeited.
In any case, they never have been a salvation,
and now even more so.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel
thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich;
At a time when taking off our clothes, or
wearing very little is becoming
fashionable. We are admonished to buy righteous
clothing to hide our
nakedness, and ointment for our eyes so that we
can see our true condition.
and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame
of thy nakedness do not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,
that thou mayest see.
Christ goes on to say that because He loves us
He will rebuke and
chasten us. He commands us to be zealous and to
repent.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I
love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore, and repent.
He then tells us that He is not far away, but
He is right at the door waiting
to come in, and dine with us.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.
As in the message to all the churches, He is
telling us that we all need to
become ‘Overcomers’.
Revelation 3:21 To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his
throne.
Again as in the message to all the other six
churches, we are told that we
should hear what the Spirit, says to the
churches.
Revelation 3:22 He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.
Because we have been busy doing our own thing, which is
what these verses have been saying, sadly
we have neglected to do what we ought to be doing, and we are quite comfortable
in our complacency.
Today our position is exactly the same as it was in the
Days of Noah and Lot.
Luke 17:26 And
as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days
of the Son of man.
Luke 17:27 They did
eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given
in marriage, until the day that
Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came,
and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28 Likewise
also as it was in the days of Lot;
they did eat,
they drank,
they bought,
they sold,
they planted,
they builded;
Luke 17:29 But the same
day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all.
Luke 17:30 Even thus
shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed.
The situation is that there is nothing wrong
with these activities.
The
question is what important thing has been neglected, whilst we
pleased
ourselves ?
The important thing that has been neglected is the building
of the house
of the Lord.
Haggai 1:2 Thus
speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say,
The time is not come, the time that the LORD’S house should be built.
While we have neglected the LORD’s house, to
the extent that it lies waste,we enjoy a life of luxury, and great abundance.
If you think that this is not true consider the
picture of the child and vulture above.
Haggai 1:4 Is it
time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this `house lie waste?
The LORD of hosts challenges us to consider our ways,
at this time of great hardship, fear and confusion.
Haggai 1:5 Now
therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
This is what
has been happening to us.
Because our focus is wrong, nothing is working out for us.
Even
those who have been hard working, thrifty and diligent are
seeing their entire life’s savings destroyed by
various money managers
of all complexions, and in a moment.
Haggai 1:6
Ye have sown much, and bring in little;
ye eat, but ye have not enough;
ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink;
ye clothe you, but there is none warm;
and
he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with
holes.
Again the LORD
of hosts challenges us to consider our ways.
Haggai 1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your
ways.
We are then
told to start building the House of the Lord.
What
we are told to do takes effort.
Haggai 1:8
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood,
and build the house;
The Eternal
God then says that He will take pleasure in it.
and I will take pleasure in it, and
I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
We are then told that our expectations from our
rebellious actions did not materialise.
Haggai 1:9
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came
to little;
Even the little that we managed to produce was
then blown away by the LORD of hosts.
and when ye brought it
home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts.
The reason for
this action is given:
Because of mine house
that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
We are then given further consequences for our
actions of looking after our own houses, whilst we allow the House of the LORD
of hosts to be in disrepair.
Haggai 1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is
stayed from dew,
and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
We then have an extensive list of judgments
against us for our rebellion against the Most High God.
Haggai 1:11 And I called for a drought
upon the land, and
upon the mountains, and
upon the corn, and
upon the new wine, and
upon the oil, and
upon that which the ground bringeth
forth, and
upon men,
and
upon cattle, and
upon all the labour of the hands.
Note that this is not ordinary blasting, mildew
and hail, but again rather an attack against
the work of our hands.
Haggai 2:17 I smote you
with blasting and
with mildew and
with
hail in all the labours of your hands;
In spite
of all this punishment we still refuse to turn to the Eternal God.
yet ye turned not to me, saith the
LORD.
Everywhere that we look we see that nothing is
working out.
This is
absolutely true today.
Haggai 2:16 Since those days were,
when
one came to an heap of twenty
measures, there were but ten:
when one came to the pressfat for to
draw out fifty vessels out
of the press,
there were but twenty.
My feeling is
that the only other choice left to try to wake us up,
is the full blown tribulation, which is escalating daily, as anyone can
see.
The
poor are further impoverished, whilst the super rich get even
more
rich.
The governments are placing their people in greater and
greater
destructive debt.
If the truly gigantic sums given
to the banks was actually given directly
to the
population,
there would be no crisis. Mortgages would be
wiped out, debts erased,
the
people would then be happy
to invest what is left over in
companies. The God condemned practice
of Usury
should also be stopped.
We should all do legitimate work in order to
reap benefits.
This
is the command that we were given in ,
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
till
thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art,
and unto dust shalt
thou return.
In reality the money given to the banks has
actually withdrawn
it
from circulation.
It is not being used to help the
public.
The entire system is totally
corrupt.
We are called to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
not
as in my presence only,
but
now much more in my absence, work
out your own salvation with
fear and trembling.
The temple that we are called to build is not a physical
building anywhere,
and that
includes not in the nation that is called Israel.
We are the Temple of God
The
Spirit of the Eternal God dwells in all genuine believers.
If we
destroy the temple of God, we will have pressed the
self-destruct
button.
1Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not
that ye are the temple of
God,
and
that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you?
1Corinthians 3:17 If any man
defile the temple of God,
him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
The following verse tells us that not only that
the temple of the Holy Ghost dwells in us,
but it states that because of this, we are not our own.
Many
do not understand this simple statement.
They plan their lives around themselves, and
their immediate environment,
but there is no biblical precedent for this.
We must be doing what the Holy Spirit leads us
to do,
and not what
we want to do,
even
when this includes ‘good works’, because, we are not our
own.
We must
have genuine care and concern for those less fortunate
than ourselves.
Many are suffering when they have done nothing
wrong.
1Corinthians 6:19 What? know
ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you, which ye
have of God, and ye are not your own?
Consider what the apostle Paul is telling us.
He is
telling us to be careful how we regard others in this temple.
You cannot look at others in the true Body of Christ,
and regard them as strangers and foreigners.
Why is Paul saying this?
He
said this because this is precisely what was happening.
It
happened then, and it happens now.
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners,
All genuine believers are part of the household
of God, the same as all the other saints.
Note: Saints are believers who are alive, and not
dead people who have gone to heaven as
the Roman Catholic Church teaches. Many of the letters in the New Testament are
addressed to the saints, who were very much alive. Also see Ephesians chapter 1, as another example of this.
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of
the household of God;
Paul
then proceeds to show that there is organisation in the household
of
God.
He
explains that this is necessary for the building to be put
together
properly.
Ephesians 2:20 And are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone;
Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
unto
an holy temple in the Lord:
Note we are
told that we are builded together to form the temple of God.
Since
this is what we are told, how is it there are so many splits,
schisms,
and divisions,
in
the so called ‘Body of Christ’. In the global context all the
various
churches, with all their different beliefs, cannot be the
‘Body of
Christ’.
The
more you scrutinize these groups right down to the local level,
you will
find that in the smallest congregations there can also be splits.
In the
smallest building block, the family, you can have divisions.
In the
next building block, the local congregation, you can have divisions.
In the next
building block, the national congregation,
you can have divisions.
In the
final building block, the international congregation,
you can
have divisions.
How
can we deceive ourselves into believing that by being part
of any
such situation, that we are part of the genuine ‘Body of Christ’,
and our
deeds are pleasing to the Eternal God.
It is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms,
because,
it
directly opposes what we are told here:
In reality if
we are in these types of environments, we can be certain
that
regardless of the name of the organisation,
we are
an active part of the great Whore BABYLON.
Ephesians 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation
of God through the Spirit.
The apostle Paul addresses this same subject,
and gives some more details in 1 Corinthians.
Here
he gives the structure.
These
are not positions of authority to lord it over others,
but offices of service, to build the Body of Christ.
I
have seen people become little, and even big ‘Hitlers’,
once
they have been given an office,
even
if it is a very minor position.
1Corinthians 12:28 And God hath
set some in the church,
first apostles,
secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers,
after that miracles,
then gifts of healings,
helps,
- (can include deacons, who are not specifically mentioned)
governments,
diversities of tongues.
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some,
pastors
and
teachers;
1Corinthians
12:29
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers?
are
all workers of miracles?
Paul
made it clear that all the parts are needed for the body to function properly.
First he
shows the various offices in a similar manner to what was just stated.
1 Corinthians 12:4 Now
there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:5 And there are differences of administrations,
but
the same Lord.
1
Corinthians 12:6 And
there are diversities of operations,
but
it is the same God
which worketh all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7 But the
manifestation of the Spirit is given
to every man to profit withal.
1
Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word
of wisdom;
to
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the same
Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:10 To
another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of
tongues;
to another
the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians 12:11 But
all these worketh that one and
the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he will.
He then goes on to emphasise three times, that
though the body is one unique
organism, it is made up of many different members, and all have a distinctive
job to perform, for the welfare of the whole, with each part needing the other
parts.
1 Corinthians 12:12 ¶ For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body,
being many, are one body:
so also is Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one
body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether
we be bond or free; and have been all
made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
1
Corinthians 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand,
I am not of the body;
is
it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the
eye,
I am not of the body;
is
it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians 12:17 If the
whole body were an eye,
where were the hearing?
If
the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
1
Corinthians 12:18
But now hath God set the members
every one
of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1
Corinthians 12:19
And if they were all one member,
where were the body?
1 Corinthians 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but
one body.
1
Corinthians 12:21 And the
eye cannot say unto the hand,
I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of
you.
1 Corinthians 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body,
which seem to be more feeble,
are
necessary:
1 Corinthians 12:23 And those members of the body,
which we think to be less honourable,
upon
these we bestow more abundant honour;
and
our uncomely parts have more abundant,
comeliness.
1 Corinthians 12:24 For our comely parts have no need:
but God hath tempered the body together,
having given more abundant honour to that part,
which lacked:
This
was all building up to the very important conclusion.
1) There should be no division in the body.
2) The members should care one for another, not devour one
another.
3) When one suffer, all suffer.
4) When one rejoices all rejoice.
5) Though we are separate members we are all the body of
Christ.
The
reality is that there are divisions and cliques.
1 Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for
another.
1
Corinthians 12:26 And whether
one member suffer,
all the members suffer with it;
or
one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:27 ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ,
and members in particular.
Evaluate all of the above on your own personal
position.
Is your church really part of the body of
Christ?
Are you really a profitable part of the body
of Christ?
Have you a Laodicean attitude which I
mentioned at the start?
Some ask me what is my
position or office?
The
only title that the Eternal God has given me is that of ‘Servant’.
I
assure you that I am thoroughly delighted with that.
What
does it involve?
It
involves me doing whatever, the Eternal God leads me to do day by day.
It is
certainly multi-faceted, and I just endeavour to do the very
best
that I can do with His wisdom, guidance and strength.
We are shortly arriving at the point when the heavens, the
earth, the sea,
and
the dry land will be shaken.
Have
you a plan to deal with this?
Are
you hoping that you will be raptured out of all of this?
I do not think so.
Will going to the place of safety save you
from this?
I do
not think so.
Haggai 2:6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts;
Yet once, it is a little while,
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Haggai 2:7 And I will shake all nations, and
the desire of all nations
shall
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
The LORD of hosts says that He owns all the
silver and gold, not us.
Quite
simply He has blessed us.
We have
to be wise with what He has given us.
Whatever we
have should be used not just to spoil ourselves.
We have been given wealth to sensibly use it
to serve others.
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and
the gold is mine, saith the LORD
of hosts.
Haggai 2:9 The glory of
this latter house shall be greater than
of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in
this place will I give peace,
saith the LORD of hosts.
It has been made very clear to us that we will
have to give an account
of everything that we have been given
Matthew 25:14 ¶ For the kingdom of heaven is
as a man travelling
into
a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto
them his goods.
. . . . . . . . .
Matthew 25:19 After
a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
and
reckoneth with them.
The
lord called all to give an account from the one to whom he gave
the
most.
Matthew 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and
brought
other five talents, saying,
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold,
have gained beside them five talents more.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well
done, thou good and
faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Right down to
the one to whom he gave the least,
the
unprofitable one talent man, who buried his talent in the ground.
Matthew 25:30 And
cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
When we
pay attention, listen to, and obey the Eternal God,
then and only
then will be blessed.
When
we focus on building the house of the Lord, from that day forth
we will be
blessed.
Haggai 2:18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four
and twentieth day of the ninth month, even
from the day that
the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid,
consider it.
Haggai
2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the
vine,
and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive
tree,
hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
In order to
grasp what is being built, consider the New Jerusalem
of Revelation Chapter 21.
Ask
yourself if the New Jerusalem does not appear absolutely perfect,
and
beautiful in every detail?
Does it sound to you like it was constructed
by someone who did not care,
someone who was lukewarm in producing the
magnificent temple?
Of course it does not.
We all need to be completely
focussed on our calling and building
our
spiritual temple, and actively carrying out our instructions to assist
in
preparing the bride of Christ.
To give you some idea of what an enormous
operation building
the Temple of God is.
Here are some
details of Solomon’s temple.
You
will see that it took a lot of dedicated hard work to accomplish
this
task.
You also research and see that once the
temple was built it took
very many people
to keep it at the standard required by the Eternal God.
The Temple Of God Solomon’s House
90
feet long 150 feet long
30
feet wide 75
feet wide
45 feet high 45
feet high
Build
Time 7 years Build
Time 13 years
30,000 labourers in shifts of
10,000 to go to Lebanon,
70,000 ordinary labourers
Huge Costly Stones 15 or 20 feet long
80,000 stone cutters
3,600
foremen
The
Biblical account reports that this amounted to 100,000 talents
(3,000
tons) of gold
(an
amount exceeding the current annual global production and
1,000,000 talents (30,000 tons) of silver.
The building of the
Manchild, the Bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem
requires not human
labour, but rather the handiwork
of the Eternal God, Himself.
The biggest
problem in this truly awesome task are the materials,
which
we are.
To be lukewarm is to be discarded as
unprofitable.
The choice is ours.
What are you going to do about it before it is too
late?
See The Video: Obedience Is The Only Way Of Escape
Be Humble Repent Listen To The Eternal God Obey Him
This
is very easy to say, but I assure you that it is physically impossible,
without the empowerment of the Eternal God.
Just going up to some altar call, running to
some church, or isolating
yourself in the hope that somehow it will all
go away, will not do it.
