The letter kills, but the Spirit brings life. Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jonah, and the like all had messages that were harsh for their times. False prophets abounded in Elijah's day and did they (God's Prophets) not say what needed to be said and sometimes at grave danger? Did not Jesus rebuke the religious leaders of his day due to their blindness and stubborn hearts? Today we would kick them out of our churches telling them they speak blasphemy and are going to be judged. If we have ears to hear, we will hear no matter who speaks it, or how.

We are now at a day when many of the Lord's anointed have fallen in sin and for us to condemn them is wrong, but for us to not preach the truth is right? I would not be here today if I did not have true brothers and sisters telling me how it is, how to move forward, and it wasn't and isn't always easy. I don't care what they think or what you think, what I care about is that what is spoken the not just the Word of God, but the Word and the Spirit of God together which brings life.

How did Jesus know what to do, what to say, how to say it, etc...
Jesus did what the Father said to do, what the Father does, and when He obeyed His Father, all that needed to happen did happen.

We too can have the same life and although our trying times seem overwhelming at times, if we will just sit at His feet and obey, we will see His Hand move on our behalf.

With all of that said, if you feel an unction of the Lord to speak, pray over the word to ensure you have His heart cry for that word, and then when you type it out, make sure that you read over it several times before submitting. I have made this mistake before and misunderstanding has taken place.

For those who don't like hard words, pray and ask the Lord if it pertains to you and to ensure your heart is not hardened from hearing.

It isn't about my word or your word, it is about His words. He was first, His words were first, He loved us first, and everything else about us originated from Him.

I am not perfect, but I am perfected by His perfect shed blood. I am a new creature as all of those who are in Christ Jesus. There are those who claim to be in Christ yet turn God's children from Him and control them to submit and obey to man and not to follow hard after Christ and carry the Cross that Christ Jesus has given each one of us.

That is enough for now so until next time, may the Lord Bless you and keep you all.

In Christ Jesus,

Ty Culley
