7/4/10 From YahuShua HaMashiach, He Who Is Called Jesus The Christ, Our Lord and Savior - The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy, For a Brother in Christ, and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

My son, I have called you to trumpet, to proclaim the truth, to set these crooked paths straight according to that which I have spoken to this generation; to be that example which also speaks to the truth of who I am, testifying by action according to The Spirit and The Word of Truth, to the bearing of much fruit in The Beloved. Yet by cleverness of words and witty speeches, which are void of The Spirit, you have caused offenses, as though My words were not enough. Indeed offenses shall come, let them come, yet they shall not come by My servant’s own words, but by My Word alone.
My son, I have called you out. And you shall indeed be as a watchman for My people, that you may aid My servant in the blowing of this trumpet. Yet not by a firm word shall you do this, but by a soft word of correction shall you keep My flock in order, so I may feed them. For a soft answer turns away wrath; but a harsh word stirs up anger, as it is written, the end of which leads to rebellion against The Lord.
Therefore, this is the food with which you shall feed them: My Word, and My Word only, lest you should be exalted in your own name. Rather rebuke all praise added to your account, and let your heart be warmed by another’s gratitude toward your obedience, having a clear conscience concerning your service, where you have sought to bring glory to My name. Therefore, My son, heed My correction so you may grow wiser still, bringing forth even more fruit in The Beloved. For I tell you the truth, anyone who represents Me by way of this Trumpet must display those things which I require, according to the position for which they are called.
Therefore, do not cause offense amongst the dull of hearing with clever speech, nor cast down the blind with words of your own making; by My Word alone shall the sleepers be awakened, and by My Word alone shall the rebellious be warned. Even some shall be brought forward because of this, and they shall blaspheme My words, that the hidden state of their heart may be exposed. I am The Lord.

Thus My servants shall cause no offense at all, save that which comes by the trumpeting of My Word. And of those who come forward, who are offended in Me because of My words, take nothing they say to yourself, lest you also disavow the promises which must be met, for which you are called. Feed My sheep and warn the people, for the time has come. My son, My bride is chosen, for she is wise. Yet the foolish shall be left standing outside the gate. Therefore, have compassion and pray for them. For only by great travail shall they be broken, only by great tribulation shall they enter in.

My son, let no guile be found in your mouth;
Let only the song of The Lamb roll from your lips,
And blow this Trumpet to all within your reach...

And when one who claims to know Me
Comes and asks you for more, feed them from My plate...

And when they take offense and seek to cast down My words,
Warn them from Me, then quickly turn away
As you shake the dust off your feet...

For they fight not against you, but against Me, says The Lord.
