CHRIST THE STONE

 

The church has been on the look out FOR THE SERPENT but not THE SPIDERS.  The SPIDER that speaks of FALSE TEACHING.  False teaching has been the FLOWER OF DECEPTION that has come forth from the teaching and believing the lie regarding the TRINITY.  Isaiah 59: 5 

The serpents eggs bring forth death and the spiders web is useless.  This is by and through the work of Satan, Belial, Beelzebub, what ever name one wants to call the one mind of evil and destruction.  The stones of stumbling which have been placed one by one through time, have created failure for many who truly BELIEVE, from going onwards into the fullness of what God The Father has for all who come to Him.  Their Way has been blocked by STONES OF STUMBLING making the Way to God full of diversities and false pathways, leading from the main Way to false doors by assumptions and their own interpretations.

 

The STONES OF STUMBLING shall not allow anyone to KNOW THE FATHER and also more of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  John 16: 13-15.

As a result anyone who is blocked by the STONES OF STUMBLING shall not be able to do the WILL OF GOD,  2 Peter 1: 3-4     Matthew 7: 21-23,  to HEAR and ask of The Father, to serve Him or be blessed with His Holy Offerings and Things.  John 16: 23-28    1 Peter 1: 8-12.   Ezekiel 44: 10-14

There are SERIOUS ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES.

 

The STONES OF STUMBLING are stones  of WORKS SAID TO BE DONE AND ARE NOT, that are blocking GOD’S PURPOSES AND PLAN, placed out of order in the wrong place in the journey.  i.e. coming to The Father.

 

As time has gone by the church DOES NOT SEE THEM AS STONES OF STUMBLING but are believing and trusting in these stones as being right and true because they have been taught by men whom they have confidence in, seen as HEROES.  These heroes are hailed and listened to.  Their written words are sought after and believed without testing their truth which appears to be deep and spiritual.

Every segment of the many denominations have their own heroes which are seen as Princes who have replaced The Prince – Jesus Christ the Son of God.  They seek them rather than him, but more so they fail to seek truth from God Himself.

John 16: 13-15     1 Corinthians 2: 9-10    John 16: 25-28    Ezekiel 44: 3

 

Men who have taken away the FULL WORK OF THE FATHER all that He would be for those called Sons of God.  They are stones which have also hindered greatly the true work of the Son of God, Christ the Lord.  They are hindering the Sons of God coming into the full work they have been called to do and be.

John 1: 29-34    Romans 8: 10-11    Colossians 1: 27-28    1 Corinthians 2: 9-10

 

The church, not seeing the SPIRITUAL stones as stumbling STONES and are trusting in hardened pinnacles, that can give no life, truth or light.  STONES created by men have been laid with NO CONNECTIONS or direction to TRUTH.

THEY HAVE MADE THEM and do NOT QUESTIONED THEM, so fearfully are they ingrained.

 

God The Father MADE AND LAID ONE STONE, A PRECIOUS STONE IN ZION.  It is there that a FULL TRUST AND DEPENDANCE CAN BE KNOWN IN THE ONE WHO LAID THAT STONE, God The Father.

Isaiah 8: 14    1 Peter 2: 6-8    Luke 20: 17-18

 

The stones men have created MAY BE ABOUT THE STONE THAT GOD LAID, (Jesus) but it is GOD’S PLAN that we ‘SEE JESUS AS GOD SEES HIM’  and KNOW HIM AS SUCH.  It is THE DESIRE OF THE SON, A FERVENT DESIRE that the Sons of God KNOW HIS GOD AND FATHER as He does.    John 16: 13-15

 

The Stones of Stumbling have been created by deceived man who have come AGAINST THE ONE STONE THAT GOD HIMSELF HAS LAID IN ZION.  Acts 31: 36    John 17: 3.

The great Stone of Stumbling has been about Christ.     1 Peter 2: 6-8

CHRIST THE STONE

 

Those who believe in the historical and biblical Jesus Christ, to them has been given the Spirit of Christ in their spirit, making their spirit alive.  They have Christ in them.

John 1: 2    John 1: 7    1 John 5: 1-5    Romans 8: 10    Galatians 4: 6

 

Mark 16: 14-18.  A GREAT STONE – OF PROFOUND IGNORANCE OR NEGLECT OR OF CHOICE.  To see the required PROMISE OF GOD…The Baptism With Holy Spirit, as something not necessary for salvation.  IT IS UNBELIEF in what is Christ’s Work as Baptiser with Holy Spirit and as to its significant importance to gaining Eternal Life.

Mark 16: 14-18    Acts 2: 31-36    Galatians 3: 14

 

                   ***********

 

The believer who receives The Spirit of Christ qualifies to receive The Promised Spirit of God.  The evidence of Baptism with Holy Spirit confirms that the believer has been raised out of Death by God The Father.  GOD AND CHRIST DWELL IN THE BELIEVER.

Romans 8: 10 & 11     Colossians 1: 27 & 28     1 Corinthians  12: 3-18    Romans 6: 3-14    Galatians 3: 14    Colossians 2: 9-13    Romans 6: 6**

 

THE STONE  -  Ezekiel 44: 10-14  This is a mammoth stone that stands to declare that Jesus is God.  .  Even though the believer is delivered from Death and is in Life, “In Christ”, FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND RECEIVING FROM HIM IS IMPOSSIBLE.  God’s WILL CANNOT BE KNOWN from Him nor of what is His fullness.  It is blasphemous exalting Jesus to God.

Matthew 7: 21-23

 

                   ************

 

There is NO Stone of stumbling for those who believe in the FULL WORK of Jesus as Lamb of God and Baptiser with Holy Spirit, that he is Christ and Lord and The Son of God.  The believer totally has faith in God The Father as the ONE TRUE GOD, giving ALL PRAISE and THANKS TO HIM.  The believer does the WILL OF GOD THE FATHER as Christ did and still does.

The mind of Christ is fully activated….doing God’s Will.

They know God in fellowship and do His Will and will receive ETERNAL LIFE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD as they continue in faith.

 

John 1: 29-34    Acts 2: 31-36    Ephesians 5: 20    John 16: 23-28    Ephesians 3: 14-22    John 17: 3    1 Corinthians 8: 6    1 Corinthians 11: 3    Matthew 7: 21-23    Colossians 1: 20

 

How awful it will be for those trusting in Jesus as God, who looked to him for all God is alone, to come to judgement by Christ when they will cry –

                   “But we did this and that in your name”

Jesus will say –

                   “Depart from me I never knew you – you did not do the Will of God the Father”.

Matthew 7: 21-23

 

Those who have rejected God’s Stone by rejecting God’s Positioning of Jesus as Cornerstone of the present Spiritual Temple, exalting Jesus to be God and trusting and calling on him as God – they have fallen upon that stone similarly as those who directly oppose him.

They have destroyed all he stands for in God’s sight and purposes.

Those who have fallen on that stone and created from it an idol who is exalted as God, they shall be broken to pieces and on whom the true stone falls on, they will be crushed.

Luke 20: 17-18    Isaiah 8: 14     1 Peter 2: 6-8    Ezekiel Chps. 40 – 47    Ezekiel 44: 10-14
