Do Not Hesitate - Jesus Christ Can Use Anyone!
This is a morning message from Witness 2 about how God can use anyone - but we have to take a leap of faith ourselves, as well as a reader contribution from Des regarding faith. Really, this is all a message of faith, and isn't that what the Bible is all about?
Introduction - The Bible is a 4th Dimensional Object
When I first met Witness 1, he said, "The Bible is a 4th-dimensional object." This was before I was fully Christian, but I never forgot it because he is absolutely correct.
Last night, I was doing my Bible study on Mark 11, and it amazes me how many times I can read the Bible and still be transformed. It amazes me that I can take 1 sentence, just 1, out of the Bible and could write a doctorate thesis on it. There is no other book like this on the planet.
It amazes me that in 2024, the Bible still completely guides our lives - that it was written so perfectly for all, and even has a section for us - the end times people - in the Book of Revelation.
Does anybody understand how profound that is?
When you read the Bible, something supernatural happens. That is why Satan does everything he can to stop people from reading it, with people even going to churches and barely opening it for themselves.
You all must open your Bibles daily, even if it is to read just a few sentences, and I want to show you the power of reading just a few sentences in the Bible.
I actually did my Bible study before bed on Mark 11 with Witness 1, and I told him I particularly enjoyed the following verses:
Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.
Mark 11 has the important prophecy of the fig tree, and I know there are some amazing commentaries out there on that. However, what's cool about the Bible is I can write on something a little different - something people might have just read over quickly.
So, Jesus asks two disciples to go get a colt under strange circumstances. Upon reading, what I noticed is the disciples did not question Jesus Christ. They didn't say, "Well won't people get mad or think we are weird? Won't we get in trouble with the law? Why should we do this? What are we doing, Jesus?"
They took a leap of faith and just obeyed Him.
Notice they did not go into the "why" of it all, and had they done that, it may have ruined the entire event.
How many times have you heard Jesus's voice, and you only had a few moments to respond? For example, you may hear, "Preach to that person", but you are too nervous, start questioning, and they pass you by and you never see them again.
Jesus explains, in my prayers, this is happens all of the time. Sure, the disciples were directly with Jesus, and you could make the argument that it was easier to listen to Him because he was there, but Jesus Christ is with us, too. Yes, that is the faith we have to have this morning as we start the day. Jesus is with us, too!
Jesus Christ is directing us, leading us, and yes, even at times, telling us to do unusual things, where we do not fully understand the implications.
For instance, Witness 1 and I heard the voice of God to just start this website. We also were told to name it twowitnessesofrevelation.com. We didn't get into a long, debate with God about it - we just did it.
Sometimes we do not understand fully why Jesus is having us do something, but this is where the word obedience comes in. Jesus says, "You are my friends IF you obey me."
You see, Jesus can use anyone, but as usual, the lack of faith sets in, and that is Satan's tool. His tool is to get you to hesitate.
It is the hesitation that is killing our readers. They hesitate too long, and then the moment passes.
I know this happens so much. You hear a directive from Jesus, you hesitate, over-analyze, and then the moment is gone.
The disciples did not hesitate in getting the colt, and it all worked out perfectly for them.
Unfortunately, Satan will have you all over-analyze every situation until your faith is completely destroyed. That is one reason many are missing miracles.
Unfortunately, I do have a warning, or even a sorrowful message for you.
Jesus Christ always gets the job done. If He cannot use you for a situation, then He moves on to the next person, and there is always a way for it to get done.
If He comes to you, and you deny Him, well, it is written in our books. It has been recorded.
This happens when we email people all of the time. I do not mean to write this in anger, but perhaps I must vent.
I will give people opportunities, ideas, etc., and at first they seem on board, but then they hesitate too long, and it just does not work out. We end up moving on to something and someone else.
Jesus also tells me He tells many to contact us, and they deny His voice. That is a missed opportunity, as well.
When you deny the voice of Jesus Christ, you are giving into the voice of the world - and who is the ruler of this world? Satan.
Yes, there are voices all around us - our own voice in our head, the voice of the news, the voices of our friends and families, and yes, even Jesus Christ, Satan, and his demons.
You have to get your mind under control so that Jesus Christ occupies the voice of your mind. If you do not at this time hear His voice, you need to pray, ask, and possibly get baptized. I can also pray over you if you contact me.
The time is too short for hesitations. This is not about being foolish; however, when Jesus Christ gives you an opportunity - take it! I think this message from Des about faith goes along perfectly with what I am saying:
Message from Des
Do you receive VOM’s monthly bulletin? I have for years. Missions has been central to my faith all along. I’ve always sensed my ending on earth would be nasty. Not wishful thinking! I would be honored to die as a result of my faith. Otoh, dying in one’s sleep sounds good too. But my involvement over the years in missions, and reading accounts of those who do have to suffer extraordinarily for their faith, has always seemed necessary for me – to prepare for what might be ahead.
Christians who suffer intense persecution, incarceration, torture, are traumatized by it. Some never really recover. But prepared for the experience, most learn to see it as God’s will for them. And it’s really just a new job assignment. We can’t know Christ’s resurrection power if we don’t suffer with Him. And that’s the key to all this. Those who are truly in Christ will suffer. So, does it really matter what form that takes? I begin to think it doesn’t. What matters is our faithfulness, obedience, the full expression of His Spirit in our lives. Because of who He is.
If you ever get a chance to read Max Picard’s “Flight From God”, do so. It is on Wayback archives. I got the book. He was a Swiss Christian philosopher, wrote this in the 40s or 50s. This book uses a lot of allegory, I guess is the best description.
What struck me was the difference in people he describes. A true man/woman of God is in Faith. All others are continually in flight. Not just from God, but in essence. They are always in movement, never settled, never still and calm. Flitting from one thing to another. We would say, to be in flight is to be a normie. Thoroughly addicted to technology and dependent on all those who promote the falsehoods of modern life. Believers, but syncretistic. God: okay. But add all the idols that make you feel you are like the surrounding nations and their people. Gotta have it all. Cheap grace will cover any misunderstandings.
I’m just more determined than ever now, to prepare my soul for the separation from all that’s familiar and seemingly necessary to my well-being, to be like the missionaries who can and do forgive their captors. Who continue to fight the good fight, in spite of all the hampers them.
Hope you have a blessed week.
I agree with this, and unfortunately, I rarely see anyone of true faith.
I do not mean to say that to hurt anyone, but most people I speak to are riddled with the anxieties of the world.
I see people go in and out of faith - that is what I see most commonly. One moment they are in faith and at peace, and the next moment, they are back in the world again.
The message of this post is that Jesus Christ can use anyone, but he cannot use you if you cannot take a leap of faith. He cannot use you if you hesitate too long. He cannot use you if you are double-minded.
Again, I am not trying to criticize, but I must be honest when I write these posts so people can self-reflect and potentially improve. At the end of this post, I will pray for all readers. Before I do, I wanted to share one more related message.
God Can Use Anyone - Even you - Especially You!
This leads to one final point I have. God can use anyone, and we never know what our roles might be. In my Thesis 10, I explained that it is time for everyone to pray about their role in the end times church.
Another reminder is that you can utilize your weaknesses as strengths.
For example, I have used all of the bad things about my life to help people. Instead of being ashamed or denying the events of my life, some of which are humiliating, I have used my testimonies to help people.
I often see the following man preach online. He has no arms and no legs, and he says, "What's the point of having arms and legs if you don't know what to do with them?"
This man has used what many would see as one of the greatest disadvantages for the power of Jesus Christ:
So many readers are in a spirit of complaint. They say, "Why did God make me this way?" without realizing that God can use what the world perceives as your weaknesses as His strengths.
The world has always told me I talk too much, or even that I'm a little bossy. However, in order to do what I am doing, I need to talk a lot, and I need to be a little bossy, especially in our real life ministry. God has built me up in a certain way to do what I am doing now. If I am leader, I need to be a little tough (with love, still, of course). This, of course, isn't about saying our weaknesses are all okay and that we do not need improvement. Over the years, I worked on turning my "bossiness" into leadership, and my speaking into writing and helping people all over the world. You see, with Jesus Christ, I am able to do this - to refine myself.
And surely, this is related to you, the reader. Everyone has problems. No one was born with the perfect life. Everyone has something about them the world has criticized, but through Jesus Christ, we can use it as power.
The man with no arms and legs, Nick Vujicic, had a choice, too. He could have given up and felt sorry for himself the rest of his life, but that is not what he decided to do. Through Jesus Christ, he now inspires millions of people around the world.
Anything is possible with God.
The spirit of complaint has taken over our generation. It is easy to feel sorry for ourselves, isn't it? Society, at this point, is all about embracing weakness, psychological conditions, and staying stagnant.
Through Jesus, we can be transformed. We can use even what Satan intended to harm us for good.
So, every reader has a choice today. How are you going to start your day? With which mindset?
Let us say a prayer together:
Father in Heaven,
Lord, please help the readers and me find our purpose fully in Jesus's name. Lord, help us understand how we can use our problems, weaknesses, and struggles for good in your Holy name. Lord, remove the spirit of complaint in me and the readers in Jesus's name. Lord, help us start the day with gratitude, and help us use our arms and legs for your work (if we have them!). Jesus, whatever our circumstances, help us now. Help us figure out how to use our lives as a testimony for you and the Kingdom. Lord, I pray fire upon all evil set against me and the readers in Jesus's name. I ask you to uplift and encourage them in Jesus's holy name. Lord, reveal the plan you have for us! I pray for a blessing upon whoever reads this message in Jesus's name.
Alright, everyone - that wraps up today's morning message. I pray it inspired you all.
I am working on more prophecy updates soon with some cool dreams sent to me, so check back! Also, please forgive any errors in these morning messages, which are often written when I am tired in the morning and rushing to work.
Jesus Christ, please help me have energy for my day in your Holy name, I pray!
