Chapter 9

David & Goliath/ The Elect & The Last Days

I Samuel 13:13,14 NASB “Samuel said to Saul, “You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, for now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

I Samuel 2:25 “And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed for ever.”

Revelation 5:9,10 NKJ “And they sang a new song, saying: “ You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation; and have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”

When Goliath appeared and the deceitfulness of fear covered the children of Israel like  a heavy cloud of darkness, there stepped forth a skinny little runt of a kid named David who was ready to fight against this mighty giant. Now you all know that David was so young and small that if you measured him by today’s standards in the U.S., then he would surely be considered to be nothing more than a child. In fact, if this event were to happen today in the U.S., then surely some child service agency would try to come forth to take David into custody so as to prevent him from being “abused” by Goliath. By the time that David came forth to the battlefield, Goliath had inflicted so much “mental” abuse and anguish on the children of Israel that they were ready to send out anyone who was willing to accept Goliath’s challenge, regardless of his age or his size. Unlike the rest of Israel, there were no unclean spirits of fear clouding David’s vision to corrupt and pervert his faith in God because he had already proven God’s love, God’s faithfulness and God’s power when he had previously confronted a lion and a bear. David has already called out on the name of their Lord in both of those incidents, and on both occasions God delivered both in them into David’s hand, and he slew them both by the power of God. There was absolutely no doubt in David’s heart that Goliath’s fate would be the same as the lion and the bear that he had faced. David knew in his heart who the true champion of Israel was, and he was eager to go out and confront Goliath because God had equipped him with the name of Lord to call on, the same name that delivered the lion and the bear into David’s hands.

I Samuel 17:32-37 NASB “David said to Saul, “Let no man's heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth. But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock, went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God.” And David said, “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”

 I Samuel 17:37 NASB “And David said, “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.”

 I am sure that Goliath, as well as the armies of Israel, when they first saw David come forth, that they had to think that David was not someone that could possibly have any effect on the outcome of the situation that was at hand. And I am just as sure that David of himself could not have had any more of an impact in this situation than any of the other faithless cowards that called themselves to the children of God. David was so lightly regarded because of his age and his size that that even his own father Jesse left him behind after they were summoned to come to the sacrifice where God was going to choose from his sons who the next king of Israel was going to be. If the hearts of those in Israel failed them for fear when they measured Goliath’s size, strength, and abilities against their own, then surely no hope was birthed when they measured David against Goliath. I am sure that the Israelites were just happy to finally have one of their own come forth that was willing to go out against Goliath, but I am also just as sure that their thinking was probably in the same line as that which the Philistines was when they saw David: “Who does this little kid think that he is?” That is just it; David was not at all thinking about who he was, but he was mindful of who his Father God in heaven is.

 I Samuel 17:42 NIV “He (Goliath) looked David over and saw that he was only a boy, ruddy and handsome, and he despised (made light of) him.”

  Early in my own walk, I attended a Sunday school class. The topic that day was, “If you could speak to anyone that is written of in the scriptures, then who would it be, and what would you say?” Immediately God came into my mind; and I thought why would anyone even consider talking with someone else. There were around 25 people in that class, and as we went around the room, with each person given the opportunity to answer this question, I was surprised that I did not hear one person answer God, and there was like only one person that even said Jesus. There were a bunch who answered Paul, or David, Joshua, or Moses, but no God. On the way home from that class, the Lord gave me a vision; and in the vision I saw what appeared like a large waiting room of some kind. I then saw all the members of my Sunday school class sitting around.

  Then walked in David, and Paul, and Joshua, and John, and Caleb, and Solomon, and a few others, and they just sat down just like everyone else was sitting. After they sat down, I saw those who had been in my Sunday school class gather around the ones that they had named that they would like to talk with. It was like my classmates began to drool over them and treat them like they were some kind of movie stars or rock stars, as they were asked to tell them the stories of how they parted the Red Sea, or how they slew giants, or how they healed the sick and cast out demons. All the while, these saints were looking out my classmates like they were complete fools, and they all finally answered my classmates by saying, “Why are you trying to glorify us? Why are you attributing these works and miracles to us? We did nothing of ourselves; it was God himself that was doing all these things.” This is one definition of blindness: when men give glory to a man for that which God has done.  Simply put, all David had was that child-like faith that allowed for God to deliver Goliath in to his hand; a faith that could not be found anywhere else in Israel.

  Psalm 62:11 NKJ “God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God.”

  Psalm 78:21,22 NIV “When the LORD heard them, he was very angry; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel, for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.”

  John 16:8,9 “And when he (the Holy Spirit) is come he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me.”

  With the exception of Samuel, let it be said that among all the mighty men of Israel, that nation of people that God himself chose to be his own, that there was only one that stood in the true faith, while the rest cowered in holes and behind rocks. Let it be said that among all the inhabitants of God’s chosen that David alone was faithful to his heavenly King, having refused to reject him as all the rest of Israel had. Let it said that all of the children of Israel were wise in their own eyes; and seeing through the eyes of this world’s wisdom, their hearts fainted at the sight of Goliath. And let it be said that all of Israel walked in the blindness of their fears and were ensnared with the fear of a man, except for David. Let it be said that any faith or belief that the children of Israel may have thought they had in God, proved only to be illusions of their own imaginations. Let it be said that because of the righteousness of one man’s faith and belief in God, all of the doom and gloom that their fears had prophesied to them did not come to pass. There were no unclean spirits of fear in David to pervert his belief, or his confidence, or his faith, or his trust in God. In fact, by the Spirit of the Lord that was in David, he began to treat Goliath in the same manner that Goliath had been treating the rest of Israel, with contempt. Through the boldness of his faith in God, this little kid turned the tables and he began to intimidate Goliath. How could this be? Simple; David had a different spirit on him than those who had rejected their God. David had the same spirit on him that Caleb had on him when he saw the giants in the land, but was not at all intimidated or fearful by what he saw.

  Numbers 14:22-24 NASB “Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice, shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it. But My servant Caleb, (F)because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, (G)I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

  Proverbs 29:25 NKJ “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.”

  Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”

  Proverbs 3:7 NASB “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.”

  Jeremiah 32:40 NASB “I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.”

  James 1:5 NIV “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.”

  Matthew 25:1-9 NIV “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish (the wisdom of this word, that which fears man, is foolishness in the sight of God) and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight the cry rang out: “Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!” Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.” “No,” they replied, “there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.”

  Matthew 10:28 Jesus said, “Do not fear them which can kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him (God) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

  When God took his kingdom away from Saul, he did so because Saul’s heart was weak, and in his weakness he feared the people rather than God. When a man fears man more than he fears God, then he will surrender his heart to do that which men desire of him rather than to do that which God desires for him to do. How much more unclean can a spirit be than that which brings a man to bow his heart before the desires of men rather than before God’s love? It was in Saul’s weakness to his fears that led him to depart from his faith in God and belief of God’s words. The kingdom of God is not a kingdom of the people, and by the people; but it is a kingdom that is of God, and by God. The kingdom of God is not a kingdom where the will of the people rules but where the will of God is done. The will that God has for his people is that they allow for him to be God: to be the God that desires to bless his beloved; to be the God that delights in showing mercy and grace to his beloved; to be the God who provides for his beloved; to be the God who desires to do nothing but good for his beloved; to be the God who to help his beloved; to be the God who provides for his beloved; to be the God that desires to give everything in his kingdom to his beloved; to be the God that guards and protects his beloved; and to be the God that yearns to fellowship, to love, and to communicate with all of his beloved. The Lord once told me, “Mitt, do not be deceived; there is only one God, and there will always be only one God.” Many fell from heaven when they were deceived into believing otherwise. Through the fear of man, Saul lost his heart for God, and his heart to do God’s will. And when the king loses his heart for God, then he will surely cut off the will of God so that God has no place among his own people.

  Matthew 6:10 NASB “Your kingdom come Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

  Matthew 7:21 NASB “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.”

  Luke 12:32 NKJ “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

  I Samuel 12:14,15 NASB “If you will fear the Lord and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the Lord, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God. If you will not listen to the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the command of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you as it was against your fathers.”

  I Samuel 15:23-28 NASB “For rebellion is as the sin of divination (witchcraft)and insubordination (stubbornness) is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.” Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; I have indeed transgressed the command of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice. ”Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the LORD.” But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.” As Samuel turned to go, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore. So Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.”

  When the Lord was showing this “lost love” to me, he brought into my remembrance something that I myself had experienced in my own adolescence, when I was like 13 or 14 years old. One of my very first girlfriends broke up with me but my puppy love for her was as strong as ever, and I was utterly miserable, having suffered a love break-up before. Once the love that girl had for me was departed from her, for some reason she like she had to treat me as though I did not even exist in her world anymore. And what was really painful was when I found out that there was absolutely no words that I could say or anything that I could do that could win her heart back to me. There can only be one puppy love in each man’s life because it is the only love that is not accompanied with the fear that another break-up is going to occur. It was with this remembrance that the Lord allowed for me to understand how hurt his heart was when Saul “broke up” with him because he lost his heart from him. This break-up between Saul and God had to present some kind of problems because Saul was still sitting on the throne as king and judge over the people that God had chosen for himself. And to think that this entire situation came about because of that vile, unclean spirit of fear that came into Saul that corrupted his heart and perverted his faith and trust that he has towards his Lord so that he could serve the will of the people instead of God.

  Matthew 24:12 “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax (grow) cold.

  Revelation 2:4 NIV “Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.”

  At the same time that God has chosen to take his kingdom from Saul, he went looking from among the children of Israel for a man who did have a heart for God. I was asking the Lord just what it meant “to have a heart for God” when the Spirit of the Lord first quickened to me that which is written in II Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect towards him…”  This is what it is to have a heart for God? It was then with this word that the Lord began to open my eyes to see that the heart that is pleasing in the sight of God is the heart that is humble before him; a heart that will actually permit God a God for his people, not over them. It is the humble in heart that will allow God to show himself great and mighty. It is the humble in heart that will allow for God to perform impossible things for his beloved. It is the humble in heart that will present themselves before God allowing him to create in them a new heart and a new mind. Later that night, I was still considering these things when the Lord said to me, “Mitt, who is your champion? Who will you ask to go out to fight your battles for you? Who will you ask to cast out your fears? Who will cast all of your cares and troubles on? Who will you ask to change your heart? Who are you going to put your hope in? Who do you want to come to you in your time of need?” As the Lord was asking these questions of me, my heart was silently answering, “You Lord.” It was amazing in that after the Lord finished asking me these questions, it was like a child-like faith that I had not known then entered into me, and I increased in the faith that calls out “Abba, Father”. I also knew in my heart that the Lord was truly going to always be there for me to be my champion; and there was nothing more that I could desire than that. I felt such a strong presence of this spirit of faith in me that there was no place for any doubt to enter in that would question any of these questions that the Lord asked of me. I know who my champion is  going to be when spiritual Goliaths arise in my path: troubles, sickness, cares of this life, false doctrines, fears, or any other situation or circumstance that might come forth to tempt me to reject the Lord so that I may be my own lord and judge.

  Joshua 24:15 NKJ “And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River (Gen,6:5; their own imaginations), or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

  Then the that the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which Jesus said in Matthew 18:3 “Truly I say to you that unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven”. Then the Lord asked, “On the day that Goliath appeared before Israel, who did my people have more need to fight for them: a man or God? Who did they have more need of: a man who esteemed the vanity that men esteem or one who is child-like in his faith, the faith that calls out on the name of his God for deliverance? It was in this moment that I realized how I had erred and perverted the vision of how I should be walking with God. I had thought that if I walked the strait and narrow path, then the day would come that I mature and be all grown-up in my faith, and that I would be some kind of a spiritual giant, a man of such strength and might that basically I would go out and confront my own Goliath’s, face to face, without having to acknowledge the Lord at all. I could not have been more wrong in my “assumption”; for our maturing is become as little children in faith, in trust, in security, in belief, in humility, and in love towards our heavenly Father. The more mature I became, the more that I would rely on God to be all things for me and to provide all things for me. When I myself was a child, I allows allowed my dad to be my day; and those who are child-like in their faith, they always have a heart that always allows for their heavenly Father to be Father God. 

  Isaiah 11:6 NKJ “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

  I Samuel 17:45-47 NIV “David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

  Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

  Jeremiah 33:3 NKJ “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things (his love and his power), which you do not know.”

  Then on this same day, but later on that same night, I had just gotten into bed when I looked towards the foot of my bed. Suddenly I saw what looked like 2 white slated fence rails running between the two bedposts. This fence looked like the typical kind of wooden fence that I have seen many times at horse farms; and it even appeared to have a small gate that could swing open like the ones you see at a rodeo. My first thought was, “Is this a dream or a vision of some kind?” Then I realized that what I was seeing was actually happening before my very eyes. The next thing that I saw was 4 small angels climbing up from the backside of the fence, and when they had finished their climbing, they were stand on the bottom rail and leaning over the top, looking at me with a countenance that said they wanted me to come and play with them. These 4 angels appeared to be only about 2 or 3 feet tall, and each one of them had the appearance of the most innocent looking 4 or 5 year old child that I had ever seen. They all had the most tender, and sincere, and sweetest looking smiles on their faces that I have ever seen. 

  I was just staring at them in amazement when each of them began to point his finger towards my chest. I was immediately clueless as to why they might be pointing their fingers at me. There little hands were moving back and forth as they pointed their fingers towards me, like they wanted me to see what it was that they were pointing at. Because I was going to bed, I had cut off all of these lights, and the only thing that I could visibly see was these enlightened little angels and the fence they were standing on. My first thought was that maybe there was something on me, like a spider or a bug. So I started furiously slapping my chest, from one side to the other, as fast as I could. As I was doing this, I noticed that these angels were all giggling at me in the most innocent of manners, and a couple of them had even cupped their hands over their mouth as they giggled, just like small child would. Because of the manner they were giggling at me, I realized that there were no bugs or spiders crawling on my chest. Even so, they continued in pointing their fingers towards my chest. My next thought was that maybe I had some kind of lump or a bump on me, so I started feeling all over my chest to see if I could feel something. When I could not feel anything or see anything, I looked back and saw that these angels were giggling more than before, and I then knew there was no lump or bump on my chest. Then they began to move their fingers back and forth in an even faster manner than before; like I was getting closer to what they were trying to show me. I felt like I was playing the game that I played as a child that we called: “Hot and Cold”. This is a game where one picks out an object in a room, and the other children have to guess what it is. The words that are spoken are by the child who knows what the mystery object is, and when one child gets close to the object he will say, “You are getting warm”; and if he almost on top of the object, the child will say, “You are getting hot.” Likewise, if the child begins to move away from the object, the other child will you are getting cool or cold. I have never seen this game played with children that are around 5 years old that the child does not get noticeably excited when one of the other children starts getting close to the object that he picked out. This was exactly how these little angels were getting with me, noticeably excited because I was eliminating all of the possibilities.  me. 

  Then suddenly, all 4 of these angels seem to reach a state of extreme excitement, for their hands were moving as quickly back and forth as I have ever seen. They were still pointing their fingers towards my chest when I realized that my hand was laying directly over my heart. So I said to them, “Is that it; is it my heart? Are you trying to show me something about my heart?” They all reacted to my question with pure joy and excitement, like I had finally gotten it. They literally had smiles on their faces that went from ear to ear. Then, without any words being spoken verbally, they began to communicate with me; like in some telepathic manner. I could hear their thoughts as though they words spoken aloud, and they heard my thoughts in the same manner that I heard theirs. It was real strange at first because since I could not see any of their mouths moving, I was never able to discern exactly which angel was actually speaking to me. They began by saying; "Yes, Mitt, it is your heart that we are pointing to, for we have been sent to help you understand more clearly those things of the heart that the heavenly Father is looking for; for whatever a man truly believes, he believes it in his heart; and it is those things that a man believes that his heart will treasure. It is just as it is written, “That a man is only able to look on appearances while God looks on the heart.”

  I Samuel 16:7 NASB “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

  Romans 10:10 NASB “For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness…”

  The angels continued speaking saying, “Under the old covenant, on the veiled side of the word, the scriptures were interpreted with man’s wisdom and understanding; and these  interpretations only minister to the works that are seen; and they are believed on to be the truth because they seem right in the sight of men. Yet, all of these interpretations come forth from the darkness of ignorance; and ignorance cannot bring forth any correct interpretations that reveals the truth about the heart’s of men or the truth about the heart of God. It is in this blindness of ignorance that that the things that are an abomination in the sight of God are seen as those things that are highly esteemed in the sight of men. It is in this blindness that you will find the deceitful lies of pride deceiving the hearts of God’s people into believing that they are able to make “self” to be pleasing and acceptable in their own eyes; and if they are pleasing and acceptable in your own eyes, then so also will men find you pleasing and acceptable; and if men find you pleasing and acceptable in their eyes, then surely God will find them pleasing and acceptable in his eyes. All lies; for when the Son of God came into this world, he who was well-pleasing in the sight of God, but he was despised, rejected, and nothing to be desired in the sight of God’s own people. So we say to you, Mitt, that God does not look on the outward appearances as man does, but he looks only on your heart.

  Proverbs 21:2 NASB “Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts.”

  Isaiah 53:2,3 NKJ “….And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men; A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.”

  On the veiled side of the word, the focus of ignorant man is not on the heart, but rather it is on the things which can be seen and discerned by man: a man’s righteousness, a man’s power and strength; a man’s opinions, a man’s works, a man’s goodness, a man’s determination and self-will, a man’s zeal, a man’s name, a man’s abilities, and a man’s reputation. On the veiled side of the word a man is also measured and judged according to how he honors laws, and rules, and traditions, and doctrines, and the commandments of men. Still, the Son of God was rejected. It is because of this focus that Israel desired to have a man for a king; a man that they could then corrupt according to their blindness until he saw things in the same manner that they saw them; for in their blindness, Israel desired to be a nation of God, but without having any need for God. They praised me with their lips, but their hearts were far, far away from me.

  Luke 18:9-14 NIV “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: “God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.” But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

  II Corinthians 3:14-17 NKJ “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. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

  Luke 24:45 NIV “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.”

  It is on the veiled side of the word that the heart of man is proud, full of self-sufficiency. When Samuel came to Jesse’s sons, he himself began to judge each one of them according to their appearance to determine who he thought God would choose to be the next king over Israel. But Samuel was still blind and could not see as God sees, and he judged them according to the blindness in his own eyes: according to their size, their righteousness, their strengths, their reputation, their abilities, and their works. Samuel judged them according to who he thought would make the best king without any sufficiency from God at all; and it is for this reason that Samuel chose Eliab, a man who seemed to be most self-sufficient. But God rejected Eliab because of the very reason that Samuel chose him. For those who make themselves to be self-sufficient will resist and refuse any help or  guidance from God. It is this self-sufficiency that makes the proud heart to be an abomination in the sight of God, while the blind see it is as that which is highly esteemed. Do the self-sufficient put any reliance, or confidence, or trust in God? If they did, then they would not be self-sufficient, would they? Do you now see how in this fallen world of darkness, it is the heart of those who seemingly appear as the most self-sufficient that are the most admired, most praised, most glorified, and the most esteemed among men? Do you understand why Samuel, in his ignorance, chose Eliab? Do you now understand that it is this ignorance that your heavenly Father is commanding all men to repent of, seeing that he has given unto each one of you the Spirit of his Son Jesus; the spirit that reveals all truth about your own heart as well as the truth about your heavenly Father’s ? Remember also that it is the wisdom that is in you that dictates how you see yourself and how you see God.

  I Samuel 16:7 NIV “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

  Luke 16:15 NKJ “And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

  Proverbs 16:5 “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”

  II Corinthians 3:4-6 NKJ “And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

  When the Philistines set their armies in array, and sent forth Goliath as their champion, where were all of the mighty men of Israel who were wise in their own eyes? Where were all those who had been esteemed and exalted for their own strength and works?  Where were all those who had boasted of their own courage and physical abilities? Where were those who sought for the occasion to glorify themselves? Where was Eliab? Where was Saul? Where were any of those who boasted in their own themselves? Where were those who did not think that they had any fears dwelling in them? Do you see how the blinded the hearts of the children of Israel was, so much so that there hearts fainted when they saw the uselessness of their own abilities, their own reputations, their own strengths, their own wisdom, their own courage, their own confidence, and their own power and might when they faced an adversary that was greater in all these things than they were? Do you see now how weak and vain all the things proved to be when one mightier than them appeared? Where was he who Samuel had so boldly chosen to be king? So also, where was he who was of a humble and child-like faith; he who carried the name of the Lord around for his sword, his shield, and his spear? Do you now see how in this world of darkness, the strengths, the wisdom, the stature, and the abilities of men are only illusions that exist in the imaginations of the thoughts of men? Do you see that what these men had believed to be real and true about themselves were only false visions? Mitt, let us tell you what is not an illusion or a false vision; and that is the love that your heavenly Father has for each one of you, even for those who have “broken up” with him. But his love and his power can only seen by those who humble their hearts as a little child before him.

  I Peter 1:24 NIV “For all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall.”

  Psalm 94:11 “The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.”

  John 5:30 NKJ (Jesus said) “I can of Myself do nothing….31 “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.”

  On the unveiled side of the word, where the light of God’s truth shines forth, all focus is upon God, and upon all those things which are not seen by men: on God’s abilities, God’s strength, God’s righteousness, God’s power, God’s wisdom, God’s will, God’s goodness, God’s glory, on the great and mighty works of God, and on the limitless love that God has for his people. Again we ask you to consider thee words: Did not Jesus highly esteem his heavenly Father? And was he not lightly esteemed in the eyes of those who highly esteemed the illusions of men? And he who was lightly esteemed by men, was he not well pleasing in the sight of God? This is the power of the darkness; the power that works on the veiled side of the word to keep man exalted, and praised, and  honored, and glorified, and to keep him esteemed in his own eyes, as well as the eyes of all who are around him. It is not so on the unveiled side of the word, where only the heavenly Father is exalted, and praised, and glorified, and honored, and esteemed by all who trust and believe on him as a little child does his own dad. The eyes of the heavenly Father go to and fro throughout the earth, examining the hearts of all men to find those who have a heart for him. It is of such a heart that God found in David; a humble heart that yearned for God to show himself strong and mighty. Has God changed? Do you not know that as it was then, so also is even now, that is eyes are still going to and fro throughout the earth seeking the same things? The eyes of your heavenly Father are still going to and fro looking for those who he may show himself strong on their behalf. For it was of such a heart that God made David to be king over his own people; because he knew that David would allow for him to show himself strong on his behalf, as well as on behalf of his people. So also now your heavenly Father is looking to raise up kings and a priests from those who have a heart for him, just as he did with David?

  John 4:23,24 NASB “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

   Now take heed Mitt, for it is on the veiled side of the word where you will find the darkness continuing to inhabit the ignorance of those who have not loved the truth of God. It is here that you will find unclean spirits directing the souls of men to believe in themselves, to lean to their own understanding, to delight in doing their own will, to glorify themselves in their own works, to put faith in their own abilities, to take control over their lives, to keep their focus on self, to account their own opinions to be truth, to trust in their own pride, to speak of their own goodness, to exalt and esteem their ownselves, and to always be wise in their own eyes, trusting and believing that how they naturally see and judge, it is the right way for all things to be seen and judged. These are the works of the man of sin; the man who puts self on the throne over his own heart. These are the ways of the son of perdition (destruction); the ways that seem right to those who walk in the wide and easy paths that lead to death and destruction. These are the counsels of the man of sin, the thoughts that are enmity against God because they are only mindful of man. There are no thoughts to acknowledge God in the mind of the proud and ignorant. These are these abominations that the proud delight in doing so that they may show themselves to be lord and god over their own lives; as well as over their own Christianity. Would the man of sin, that son of perdition (destruction), exalt himself in anything that is not highly esteemed in his own eyes, or in the highs of the men he desires to please? Only the foolish, the ignorant, and the blind would exalt themselves in speaking the words and doing the works that are an abomination in the sight of God. It is when the souls of men are joined together in unity with unclean spirits that the desire and zeal for self-righteousness comes forth. For it is just as it is written, there is nothing unclean of itself. All that which is unclean is unclean because it has been joined to an unclean spirit; and God did not create uncleanness in the souls of men.

  Philippians 2:21 NKJ “For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.”

  Psalm 10:3,4 “For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.”

  Proverbs 16:5 “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”

  Romans 8:5 NIV “Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”

  Romans 14:14 NASB “I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”

   Isaiah 64:6 NKJ “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags. We all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

  Romans 10:2,3 NKJ “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.”

  Hosea 4:6 NASB “My people are destroyed (the sons of perdition: the ignorant) for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest….”

  Ephesians 4:17,18 NKJ “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.”

  Acts 17:29-31 NASB “Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”

  John 9:39-41 “And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, “We see.” Therefore your sin remains.”

  II Thessalonians 2:3-12 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness (the uncleanness of self-righteousness) in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

  Isaiah 66:3,4 NKJ  “…Just as they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, so will I choose their delusions, and bring their fears on them; because, when I called, no one answered, when I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight.”

  The little angels continued. “Remember that Jesus said, “Take heed that the light that is in you be not darkness; lest in your blindness you esteem that which is abominable in the sight of God. It is on the veiled side of the word that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light and his demons into ministers of righteousness, moving among the brethren as wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing, enticing them with doctrines that teach them to do those works that outwardly appear righteous in the sight of men of the blind. Everyone that is deceived by them shall become just like them: as deceivers who teach others to do those works that are esteemed in the sight of men. Their pride has deceived them and they are not even aware that they are doing those works that are an abomination in the sight of God. You will know them by their doctrines because their words keep a man focused on his own abilities, his own strengths, his own righteousness, his own will, his own desires for recognition and glory, his own power, his own opinions, his own goodness, his own works, and on his own self-image. Their words lay many burdens on the shoulders of the deceived, but they never allow a man to draw near to God to learn of his wonderful love and mighty power. What profit did any of these lies serve Israel when Goliath appeared?

  Luke 16:15 NKJ “And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”

  Matthew 23:27,28 NASB “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness (iniquity)

  John 14:9 NIV “Jesus answered: “Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”?

  It is these ministers that seduce others with the promises of glory, and honor, and respect, and praise that one receives from men after they have done the works that are highly esteemed in the sight of men. The praise and glory of man is the only reward they shall receive for their works. Take heed that these grievous wolves do not deceive you with their vain words that work to exalt, to esteem, and to glorify a man for what he does of himself, lest you have no heart to give these blessings to your Father in heaven. It is on this veiled side of the word that a man’s self-image is esteemed and idolized above all other images, even above the true image of the Son of God, who is the image of God. Those who walk in this ignorance delight in being their own physicians, being their own savior, being their own redeemer, being their own provider, being their own deliverer, being their own healer, being their own judge, and doing their own will. These are the works of the proud who delight in their independence from God, having rejected him so that they may be their own champions. Now consider: What profit will any of these “highly esteemed” things be able to provide when men’s hearts begin to fail when they see the things that are coming on the earth? What shall it profit a man for him to walk in pride of his ignorance, seeing that it alienates him from his God, and hinders him from drawing near to God?

  James 4:6 NIV “But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

  I Peter 2:1 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction (sons of perdition) and many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not…9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness (self-righteousness), and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities….12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed (sons of perdition), speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceiving (walking in those things that are highly esteemed) while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: which have forsaken the right way…17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again (doing those things that highly esteemed); and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”

  It is only on this veiled side of the word where Satan moves freely, establishing his  kingdom on deceitful words that seem and illusions that the blind esteem to be good. It is only in the kingdom of darkness where a man is desires to be lord and god over his own life. It is only in his kingdom where the darkness is able to appear as the light; where his lies appear as truth; where abominations are highly esteemed; where good intentions, reasonings, and the works of man’s best efforts seem to be able to justify; where the uncleanness of iniquity (self-righteousness) appears as the righteousness of God; and where men’s traditions, men’s laws, and the commandments of men seem like the truth of God. Do not be ensnared in walking by sight where men are judged by their appearances. Again, we say to you: take good heed to examine yourself so that you do not account this darkness to be your light. Remember, there is no repentance after you die.

  It is only in the darkness that Satan and his demons deceive with outward images that appear beautiful so that they may entice the ignorant to walk in hypocrisy. There is no lie that is of God. So, is there any truth in play-acting or pretending? Do you now see and understand how Satan uses the appearances to deceive the hearts of the children of God because a deceived heart is a heart that no longer desires for the Lord to be God. A deceived heart is a proud heart; a proud heart that only desires for itself to be great, to be exalted, and praised, to be recognized, and to be glorified. Remember that which was spoken to Saul, “When you were small in your own eyes, you believed that God was great; but when you began to believe that you were great, then God became small in your eyes.” On the veiled side of the word, Satan has deceived men into believing that they are great, and that they can be their own champions, and that they are without any need for God to be Lord in their daily lives. On the veiled side of the word, man is exalted and glorified while on the unveiled side of the word only God is exalted and glorified. On the unveiled side of the word, God is great and allowed to do those things which are impossible for men to do.

  Jude 5 NIV “Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.”

  On the unveiled side of the word is where a man enters the spirit realm; the realm where  a man walks in agreement with God. It is here that a man communicates with God, and God communicates with him. Only those who have been converted, whose hearts have been humbled, that are allowed to enter into his realm. The proud will scoff at the humble because they cannot believe that God will do for them that he does do for the humble. Even so, the proud only wonder why God does not communicate or walk with them. When the Lord God went seeking for a man after his own heart, he knew exactly where he was going to find such a man because he had heard David’s prayers and supplications. He knew that in David, he would find a heart that was willing to let God be his champion, and the champion for all of Israel. David had a heart that desired for God to show himself great and mighty. The Lord found in David a heart that was perfect towards God; a heart that would serve him, a heart that would worship him, a heart that believed on him, a heart that trusted him, a heart that sought counsel from him, a heart that was humble before him, a heart that relied on him, a heart that was faithful and true to him, and a heart that loved him. It was God that David glorified and praised when he slew Goliath because he knew who delivered Goliath into his hands. David knew in his heart that God is sovereign over all things, right down to knowing every hair on his head. David knew that his heavenly Father loved him, that he cared for him, that he would provide for him, and that he would always be there for him. Have you ever seen the heart of any child that was not perfect towards the dad that did all of these things for his child? Have you ever seen a little child reject a loving father so that he might have another father who does not care at all for him? It is only on the unveiled side of the word that you will find those have sought for and asked for the Lord to create in them a new heart; a heart that is as perfect towards “Abba, Father”.

  Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”

  Ezekiel 36:25-27 NKJ “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”

  Then these 4 little angels finished by saying, “The hearts of those who have been converted are those who have received a new heart and a new mind. These are they who have become child-like in their faith, in their reliance, in their communication, in their belief, in their humility, in their confidence, and in their trust towards their heavenly Father. These are they who have taken up their crosses and crucified the flesh with all of it’s desires to do those things that are highly esteemed in the sight of men, and they have put on the spirit of adoption that raises them up to become the sons of God. These have put off that abominable nature of the sons of perdition that delights in believing, and trusting, and exalting, and glorifying itself. These have put on the spirit of the son of God that is in Christ Jesus; the spirit that makes Father and son to become one. It is the heart of the child that chooses for God to be its champion, and it looks no where but from above for it’s redemption, it’s help, it’s deliverance, it’s sufficiency, and it’s strength to come. There are no adversaries, no circumstances, no enemies, no powers, no fleshy lusts, no situations, nor any wicked or unclean spirits that God will not arise to overthrow on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards him. It is of these, those who have become as little children in their hearts, that the Lord God is going raise up to be his kings and priests, forever.

  Matthew 18:3 NASB “and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

  Isaiah 11:6 NKJ “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.”

 Galatians 5:24 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and desires… …..26 “Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”

Ephesians 2:13-18 NKJ “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”

Now hear and understand: Though David had a heart that was perfect towards his God, it was not seen by those who had rejected God. It was not until Goliath and the Philistines came up against the children of Israel that David’s righteousness was manifest, the righteousness that believes and trusts only in God. It was also then that the unrighteousness of dread, unbelief, confusion, doubt, and fear was manifest in those who had rejected God. Where was the fear and dread in David as he prepared to go out to battle against the champion of the Philistines? If there had not been one in Israel who had the heart of a child, one who had the belief and trust that his heavenly Father would come and show himself great and mighty on his behalf, then where would the victory have come from, seeing that the faithless and the wicked were all cowering in their fears? Do you see how this child-like faith that was in David kept all of Israel from becoming slaves to the unclean Philistines? Who then is mightier; he who is 10' tall with arms and legs as big as tree trunks, or him that has the humble heart of a child; a child who by faith and trust faith calls out to great and mighty Father? If needed to be, would not the heavenly Father have sent legions of angels to fight for his Son on the night that he was betrayed?

Romans 4:3 NIV “What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Romans 5:1-4 NKJ “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations…”

Revelation 7:13-15 NKJ “ Then one of the elders answered saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple (his presence in  the temple of their bodies). And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.”

I John 5:4 NKJ “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

I Corinthians 2:3-5 NKJ “I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

Matthew 9:29 NASB “Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”

On the unveiled side of the word is the light of God’s truth, a continual flowing river of the blessings of abundant life; God's power, God’s wisdom, God’s faithfulness, God's help, God’s strength, God’s divine nature, God’s understanding, God’s work, God’s gifts, God’s peace, and the love of God. All of these blessings come to those who walk as little children before him; those who believe that all things are possible with God their Father. These are they who put no limitations on the manner that God desires to bless them, or on the love that Father desires to show them. It is these who dwell on the unveiled side of the word that continually see God doing those things which are exceedingly abundant above all that which they are able to think or to ask for. The heart that is unveiled is the heart has nothing to hide from God because they know the grace of their Father’s love. These are they who have allowed for their Father to destroy all of the wisdom of their pride. These are strong in faith, believing that God will perform all of his words and promises for them. The heart of the child is confident that his heavenly Father will finish the work that he has started in him. These truly believe in their hearts, without wavering, that their Father shall supply all of their lack and provide for all of their needs, whenever they ask of him. The heart of the child knows that it is the object of Father's affection, never doubting his faithfulness or love. He who has the heart of the child knows that all things will work together for good because Father’s love never fails to do good things for them. A child has no greater joy than when his loving Father comes to fellowship and share his love with him; and it is in these things that you will find that child-like faith that works by love.

Mitt, who do you desire to be your champion? Who do you desire to lead you? Who do you desire to cast out your fears and dreads? Who do you desire to cast all of your cares and troubles on? Who do you desire to rule in your heart? Who do you desire to lead you? Who do you desire to work in your heart? Whose glory are you seeking? Is the treasure of your heart he who dwells in heaven, or is the treasure of your heart those things that are esteemed in the sight of men? Mitt, who do you desire to be your champion right now, today? Who do you desire to be your champion tomorrow? Now, do you understand the desires that God found in David‘s heart?”

It was then that these four angels starting waving goodbye to me just like a little child  that waves a little hesitantly when he really does not want to leave. As they, and the little white fence they were standing on, began to fade from my sight, they said with a fading voice, “Your heart, Mitt; it is your heart. For it is with your heart that you will believe on the Lord. Prove his love, Mitt. Prove his love so that your heart can always believe and trust on his love. Give him your heart and he will make it beautiful in his sight; for the heart that is beautiful in his sight is the heart that believes, that trusts, that loves, and that is always faithful to him. Remember David, that all Father equipped him with was his name to call on. Tell your brethren that even in this day that all they have need to be equipped with is the name of the Lord to call on; for the Lord always hears his children when they call on him with a humble heart.”

Ezekiel 18:31 NKJ “Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel?”

I then just laid in my bed in stunned amazement at all that I had just seen and heard told to me by these little angels. I have heard several testimonies by others that have seen angels, and in most cases they describe these angels as being very large and tall. When the Lord has taken me in the spirit on other occasions, I have seen some of those same large and tall angels, but I have never seen or heard anyone testify that they have seen any angels like that which had just visited me. As I considered this visitation, I then realized why it was these little angels that Father sent to me to convey this message for me. The words they spoke on behalf of God mainly described our conversion to become as little children; and this message could never impacted me if God had sent a 20’ tall angel, but instead, he sent 4 child-like angels that were so innocent, so playful, so full of laughter and giggling, and so much fun to be around. It was for sure there was no religion in these little angels. I then perceived that the Lord had actually let me witness in these 4 angels the very nature of this child-like faith; which in turn is going to also be the very nature of those who God is going to make to be kings and priests in his kingdom. I was so  overwhelmed in that moment that I did not even try to wake my wife to tell her about this awesome visitation. I am convinced that there is no way that a proud man could have any desire to be as child-like as these angels were that had just visited me.

As I continued to lay there, the Spirit of the Lord quickened to me that which is written in I John 1:1 “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the "Word of Life". For the life was manifested (unveiled), and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto that eternal life, which is with the Father, and we manifested unto us. That which we have seen and heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly, our fellowship is with the Father, and with his son Jesus Christ.” It was with this word, joined with that which these 4 little angels had revealed to me, that I began to understand fully the relationship that Father desires to have with all his children through the spirit of his son Jesus Christ; a relationship of love, and faith, and humility, and trust, and belief that allows for us to walk on a daily basis, hand in hand with our heavenly Father. What else would a loving Father desire of his children? What greater joy can his children have than to be able to experience Abba’s presence on a daily basis? Even in this fallen world, we can experience a wonderful life when we allow for Abba, Father to be our champion.

Thank you Lord; thank for this visitation and the revelation that you have given through the messengers of your angels; and may it bless me, and all those who hear and receive there testimony. If it was not so clear to me before, the message of these angels made it so clear to me that I now know that I desire to have only one champion in my life: Abba, Father. I also realized from the night of this visitation that if I was going to let the Lord be my champion in all things, then it was simply going to take me calling out on him when I needed my champion: I was going to call on him to cast out my fears; I was going to call on him and ask for him to deliver me from every evil work; I was going to cast all of my cares upon him; I was going to ask for him to work in me so that I might do his will and those things that are pleasing to him; I was not going to limit God, but ask for him to do those things that are impossible for me to do; I am going to call on him and ask for him to make ways for me when their seems to be no way; and I was going to start calling on him, asking for him to show me great and mighty things that I do not know, seeing that the Lord alone is the great and mighty one. For as long as I can boast in Father’s power, in Father’s truth, in Father’s faithfulness, in Father’s wisdom, in Father’s abilities, in the mighty works of Father God, in Father’s strength, as well as in the limitless grace, and mercy, and goodness, and blessings that continually flow from his love, then I am more than willing to live now, as well as for all of eternity, through the spirit of his son Jesus Christ, that allows for me or anyone else to be the object of Father’s affection,

Then the Lord said, “Behold the severity and the goodness of God; the severity and hardness of heart to comes to all those who have rejected God so that they might continue being their own lords and gods; champions of their own life. Behold the goodness that comes to all who have humbled themselves, allowing for me to be Lord and God in their lives. He who knows me, knows Father; and he who rejects me, rejects Father; for my Father and I are one. I never bring severity or hardness on those who continue seeking for me, for they know in their hearts that no matter what comes upon them, I will do nothing but work goodness for them. It shall not be so with the wicked who have rejected me, for I will deal severely with them. I do not choose to reject any, but I do reject those who freely and willingly choose to reject me. When a man rejects me, he rejects the Spirit because I am that Spirit. So when one rejects me he rejects the life and peace that dwells in the spiritual mind. I am that peace and I am that life that he rejects. Therefore I have no choice but to give them back over to their own thoughts: to their unbelief, to their confusions, to their doubts, to their worries, to their depressions, to their unforgiveness, to their loneliness, to their fears, to their hatreds, to their hopelessness, to their anxieties, to their bitterness, to their envies, to their uncertainties, and to their evil suspicions so that death may continue to rule over their thinking. The wicked and carnal mind is as the troubled sea that can never find any lasting rest or peace, or experience any joy or life. This is the severity of how God will deal with those who have rejected him, having scoffed at his calling so that they may walk in those things that are highly esteem in their own eyes. All day long I have stretched out my hands to them all, but they continually choose to reject me.

Romans 11:21-23 “For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.  Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.”

Proverbs 1:22-33 NASB “How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing and fools hate knowledge? Turn to my reproof; “Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Because I called and you refused; I stretched out my hand and no one paid attention. And you neglected all my counsel and did not want my reproof; I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes, when your dread comes like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently but they will not find me, because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD. They would not accept my counsel, they spurned all my reproof. So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices. For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. But he who listens to me shall live securely and will be at ease from the dread of evil.”

Isaiah 65;2,3 NASB “I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts; A people who continually provoke Me to My face…”

Ezekiel 20:8 NKJ “But they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.”

Isaiah 57:19-21 NKJ “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD, “And I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

Now comes the days that all things that are written shall be fulfilled. Now come the days when all things that are written shall be fulfilled, for both the wicked and for the righteous. Now come the days when all things are going to be revealed. Now come the days when all that which has been in secret shall be manifest, and all that which has been hidden in the darkness shall be made known. Now come the days when humble in heart shall be exalted, and the proud in heart shall be brought down; for the powers of heaven are about to change. Now come the days of judgment; the judgment that shall bring crowns of life to those who have been humbled themselves as little children before the Lord; and the days when the proud and the wicked shall throw their crowns down to the ground when they see abominations that they had highly esteemed and exalted to even be above God himself: the abomination of making themselves to be lords, and gods, and champions over their own Christianity. This is the spirit of antichrist, the spirit that leaves one desolate; alone, without any fellowship, or relationship, or true knowledge of Abba, Father. Now come the days when all who have esteemed these abominations shall be left alone with their vain idols: their own righteousness, their own strength, their own pride, their own thoughts, their own power, their own goodness, their own helper, their own confidence, and their own savior and deliverer.

I Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

Now come the days that they shall cast down the crowns they wore when they crowned themselves to be their own lord and god, to sit upon the throne of their own heart, showing themselves to be their own champion. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they exalted their own counsels and doctrines to be above the truth of God. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they established their own righteousness to be above the righteousness of God. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they chose to gave to sit in the seat of judgment over the lives of others. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they chose to trust in themselves and rely on their own wealth and possessions. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they chose to delight themselves in doing their own will rather than the will of God. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they chose to take control over their own lives. They shall cast down the crown they wore when they chose to pervert and twist the image of God until they had transformed him to be like an image they desired for God to be. And they shall cast down the crown they wore to be their own champion. These are crowns of idolatry; the crowns that all wear when they chose to be their own lord, their own god, and their own champion. Now come the days when the proud, those have rejected the Lord so that they could wear their own crowns, shall be left alone to face those things which are coming upon the earth. These are they who shall weep and gnash their teeth when they see their error, and for the fear that shall come as madness. Now comes the days that those who have shut the door of their heart to God shall have him shut the door on them.

Matthew 25:10-13 NIV “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. Later the others also came. “Sir! Sir!” they said. “Open the door for us!” But he replied, “I tell you the truth, I don't know you.” Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

Luke 13:24-28 NKJ “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, “I do not know you, where you are from,” then you will begin to say, “We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.” But He will say, “I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.” There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.”

II Thessalonians 2:3-5 NKJ “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Matthew 24:15-17 NKJ “Therefore when you see the “abomination of desolation”, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (the temple; his body)” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house.

Proverbs 16:5 “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.”

Luke 16:15 NKJ “And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”

Isaiah 2:8-21 NKJ Their land is also full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made. People bow down, and each man humbles himself; therefore do not forgive them. Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from the terror of the LORD and the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up— and it shall be brought low—…17 And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, but the idols He shall utterly abolish. They shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, from the terror of the LORD and the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake the earth mightily. In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold…”

Jeremiah 8:12 NKJ “Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No! They were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; in the time of their punishment they shall be cast down,” says the LORD. “ I will surely consume them,” says the LORD.

Now comes the days that Father will finish the work that he has started. Now comes the days when the perfect workmanship of God shall come to finish. Now come the days that the sons of God shall be manifested in perfect love. Now come the days when they those who threw their own crowns down to the ground shall be crowned with crowns from above. Now come the days when the humble and faithful shall be crowned as the sons of God, to be his kings and priests forever. Now comes the days when the pure in heart shall see God. Now come the days when the humble shall greatly rejoice and delight in his appearing; for when they shall see him, they shall be changed to be like unto him. Now come the days when they poor in spirit shall be filled with the fullness of the glory of God. Now comes the days when those who have hungered and thirsted for righteousness shall be filled. Now comes the days when the meek shall inherit the earth. Now comes the days when the outcasts, the persecuted, the lightly esteemed, and those who suffered for my name’s sake shall receive their rewards. Now come the days when that which was given to the wicked and the unfaithful shall be taken from them and given to those who do have so that they may receive all things. Now comes the days when all things shall be fulfilled. Be ready; be prepared; for you do not know the day nor the hour that your Lord shall appear.

Revelation 4:9-11 NKJ “Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: “ You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”
