The Rest is My Fiancee'

He's the man I've been waiting for-My Son, the extremist.......

(This is the third in a series of posts of which there are seven in all. If anyone who reads this wants to understand this particular article, you must go back to the previous two. The first was "To dispel any myths" and the second was, "Overcome the woman who tries to bury him".)

In the 6th chapter of John, Jesus had a long discourse in a synagogue in Capernaum, the gist of which was "bread from heaven" and "eating His flesh and drinking His blood". More importantly, He says some things which bring out the truth of the Spirit given title and subtitile of this article.

John 6:37, 39, 44, 45b, 65 "All that which the Father is giving Me, unto Me will have come.....That of all that which He has given Me I should lose nothing......No one can come unto Me, except the Father who sent Me draw him.....Everyone who has heard of the Father and learned, comes to Me.....No one can come unto Me, except it have been given him of the Father".

John 6:60, 61, 65, 66 "Many of His disciples therefore when they heard (about eating His flesh and drinking His blood) said,'HARD IS THIS DISCOURSE, WHO CAN HEAR IT?!' But Jesus knowing within Himself that His disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them, 'Does this cause you to stumble? The spirit it is that gives life, the flesh profits nothing: the declarations which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.' BECAUSE OF THIS MANY FROM AMONG HIS DISCIPLES WENT AWAY BACK, AND NO LONGER WITH HIM WERE WALKING."

In the above title the word "rest" is Remnant, and "My fiancee" is Jesus' "wife to be".

The millions of professing christians in this country and throughout the world ARE NOT TO BE A PART OF JESUS' WIFE; ie, "bride" or "body" of Christ. This is true because the crowds and multitudes WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL JESUS. He didn't come to bring "peace on earth", but a SWORD, which is THE WORD THAT DIVIDES/SEPARATES/MAKES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FALSE AND TRUE. The Father is not calling the multitudes. If the crowds are flocking to the meetings, something is wrong.

How interesting that Jesus' "fiancee"-wife-to-be-is spoken of in the subtitle as "male": "He's" the "man" I've been waiting for- My "son" the extremist.

The "femaleness" of "fiancee" or wife to be, has to do with a submissive attitude, wherein Jesus is Lord over all areas of life and following Him wherever He goes. However, the character or nature is "male" as that is the "face"presented to/in the world. Female toward God and male to the world.

The word "extremist" is a mocking jab at the world's view of a True christian: "extremists and fanatics". Anyone who is non compromising and expresses firmness and strength of purpose in knowing and expressing truth is considered an extremist, not only to the world, but especially to the wind-tossed, two-souled, "I'm certain of uncertainty" crowd of professors.

Those drawn to Christ by the Father are few in number. Many think they "have some choice" in the matter; that man has the inherent ability to choose or not to choose to follow Christ. But this is false. GOD IS ALWAYS THE INITIATOR AND MAN IS RESPONDER.

John 15:16 "You have not chosen Me, but I CHOSE YOU AND PLACED YOU".

Man thinks his "choosing" was initiated by him, but his "choice" is actually A RESPONSE TO GOD'S DRAWING WHICH HE DOES NOT KNOW OR PERCEIVE BY HIS MIND AND WHICH "BY PASSES" HIS CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS GOD'S SOVEREIGN ACT OF CHOICE, SHOWING FORTH HIS "ELECTION" OF MERCY. He chooses becauses He chooses.

This is one of the reasons why there are thousands and thousands "trying" to live the christian life. They haven't been drawn by the Father. They have responded to an emotional appeal which effects the reason: "Don't you want to have a better life?" messages. Like the big "crusades" on television where hundreds "respond to the invitation making a decision for Christ", and after "consulting with a counselor" are told to "attend the church of your choice".
BUT THEY KNOW NOT THE "DECISION" IS PRESENT TENSE CONTINUOUS AND INVOLVES THE LOSS OF THEIR OWN LIFE IN THE PROCESS. They are not taught this because those who "preach" in these things don't know the truth themselves. If they did, no one would show up, let alone "come forward", because self consciousness likes itself too much.

Jesus said, MAKE DISCIPLES, not converts or believers. But these people who are involved in their "cathedrals", "temples", "mega churches", "revivals", and "crusades" (a word fallen out of favor nowadays....),DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE DISCIPLES, they are too busy making money hand-over-fist and laughing up their well tailored sleeves at the gullible suckers who believe their junk. They present a pious face to the world, but inwardly they are soul-stealing, ravenous wolves, and white grave stones full of dead mens bones.

God is building His Remnant which are few, who eventually become the "body/bride" of Christ. There are yet some things the remnant must have revealed to it, one of which is the title of the next post: "Go get a new eye".........
