Gerry Gutierrez' Update
ÒGoing Courting God with a Sledgehammer.Ó
Prayer Is a Date with God. September 13, 2016 GA. Fuel for Prayer.
It is said that great
minds think alike. Prayer is the meeting of Great Minds.
Prayer
is the ÒcoincidentalÓ lover meeting. Prayer is the language of two lovers.
There is never enough time for prayer. Prayer is the exposure of chemistry.
The
Navajo Indians say, ÒHonorable men belong to the same tribeÓ.
Chiefs
love to smoke together the pipe of peace.
Anything can wait
but prayer.
Prayer is like a ball
resting on a branch of a tree at nightfall,
when small pigeons bundle up together to become one Òball like objectÓ on a
branch to keep warm.
Prayer is designed to
promote love and oneness. Nothing like prayer to show
the intimacy of lovers. Nothing will join you more than prayer, because when
two or three gather together in prayer and agree together with the will of God
and the mind of Jesus, concerning any matter, Jesus is in their midst and the
answer is, ÒYES!Ó.
Once we meet all the conditions of God for prayer, we
are not only in alignment with God, but we are one with God. It is impossible
for such a mind to have thoughts of his own. It is
impossible for that mind and heart and soul to have enough strength to have a
will of its own.
Therefore, we can boldly say that if we accept the
Laws of God, expressed in Faith, being equal to prayer under the
ever-prevailing will of God, as clearly stated in Scripture and proven beyond
any doubt by Jesus Himself, we cannot but have all things a prayer away without
exception.
If faith and prayer are fully applied according to
this principle, it should work anywhere, any time, and with the same result.
This man is willing to put his life on the line and provide the stones to be
stoned to death, should the principle be applied and not work.
Prayer
and power are what we need most, just as the fish needs the water in the ocean.
All we need to know consciously is that we are already in the ocean; we have
never been in a desert.
It is like salvation: we
are not saved the moment we consciously receive Jesus in our hearts; we are
saved from before the foundation of the world. Therefore, conversion is only
the waking up as from a dream-like life, to a never-changing reality, which was
ours in Jesus before we were ever able to do anything good or bad.
The prayer of childlike
faith is what God requires from his own. Until we pray
on GodÕs terms, we will be kept murmuring in the desert, in circular motion
like Moses and the saints of old.
God has all the time in the world and the patience
required to put up with us. If God is not returning soon, itÕs not because
Planned Parenthood or any other pro-choice people are delaying His plans by
abortion to fill the earth. NO! What happened is that the number of the
redeemed is set before time began; therefore, it is not contingent on timely
events or behavior. Neither is it that one generation is more or less worthy of
His return.
God is not afraid to press
the accelerator of His return for fear of leaving anyone behind. Let the
Armenian choke on that flea. God is working on His people to bring us to the
great meeting of the minds through oneness in prayer, according to His will and
in agreement with His ÒKairosÓ or the timing of God,
the Òopportune timeÓ, the ideal time, THE TIME, ÒTHAT DAY!Ó
Let us all pray who
believe in this principle, a focused prayer:
ÒYour Kingdom come.Ó
Let us never forget for a
moment that God wants to come back. Let us accept our own longing for His
return with an eschatological focus, and join in twos and threes all over the
world and pray,
ÒYour Kingdom ComeÓ!
We realize, of course,
that others throughout the past generations have been praying the same thing.
Why has He not returned?
This man can only speak
for himself. Though he prayed for the kingdom of God to come, secretly his
silent prayer was, ÒI hope not today, because I am not ready yet, and my
grandchildrenÕs children may be left behind.Ó So, this manÕs prayer had one
foot on the accelerator, but the other on the brake.
Some others pray the same
way, but keep their fingers crossed in fear of coming prematurely and
unprepared before the white throne, due to their lack of worthiness, as if more
time on earth will make them ready and worthy.
ÒIt is finished.Ó
We will never be more ready than today. We do not only
need to pray for His Kingdom to come, we must shout out loud until we cannot
hear our own voice because of exhaustion. We should pray and make promises and
purify. ÒEveryone who has this hope in Him purifies himself,Ó I John 3:3.
Let us willfully seek
lives without option and without choice, but to choose GodÕs will.
We should pray with the determination of Simeon,
not to close our eyes until we see with our own eyes the coming of the king and
his Kingdom. The rushing waters of the Kingdom of God have been contained by a
Great Dam that has become like a great lake or reservoir as waters confined by
a barrier.
By common grace of the sovereignty of God and the
childlike faith of his remnant has been allowed some waters of blessing and
hopes to trickle down, as if by a small crack in the Dam.
These fresh waters are
only enough to wet the dry lips of the prayer warriors for the Second Coming.
As evil grows in its different and new forms, the hand of God is over the crack
in the dam keeping even the trickling drops to flow.
This man thinks it would be a good idea to get
together with a few mighty men of prayer and go to work to crack the Dam, as if
with a sledgehammer, to widen the crack and to break the dam open and flood the
valley of tears below.
This man and his friends
have clearly noticed that God wants to return and to return SOON.
God is the inventor of
family and He loves family reunions, especially the kind in which no one will
go back to his own house, but everyone will stay together forever and ever with
Him in His presence.
This man and his friends
of the same tribe are hunting separately all over the forest. This man is sending
a new manifesto to the followers of Jesus: get together and take Jesus at His
Word, in agreement with God, and go to do the will of God as stated in
Scripture with the sledgehammer of prayer to break the Dam, so Jesus may come
like the rushing of mighty waters.
The wicked spirit of our
times speaks, saying, ÒIt will not be politically or in other ways correct to
use a sledgehammer while the hand of God rests on the crack in the Dam.
We confess to know that very well and it will not
be the first time we have caused Him pain should he not move his hands. His
nail-pierced hands for us are ever-fresh reminders of the pain we caused Him
and our minds are fully conscious of them.
His
wounded hands on that Dam are like a red traffic lights turned on. But as the
presence of the police that overrules the light, the Holy Spirit is waving his
hands in the intersection signaling us to Ògo aheadÓ.
We are determined to hit
and hit hard that crack in the Dam. We are hoping that as we, the followers of
Jesus, raise our sledgehammers together in agreement over our heads, the Lord
will remove His hand in a holy coincidence. That is what the prayer in
agreement with God is all about.
This man thinks that God
for His own comfort will remove His hand from the crack, not to avoid being
hurt by our ferocious determination to use force, but so that we will not feel
the pain of sorrow by hurting Him in any way again.
This man said to his
friends, ÒIf the Lord does not move His hand, let us bit his fingers just hard
enough that HeÕll know that we have the teeth of
faith and prayer.Ó
I have been breast-fed past two years of age. I have
been slapped for biting, not hard, but hard enough to get the message. This man
has also seen the calf nuzzling with its head toward the motherÕs breast, and
usually it was when the milk was not flowing abundantly and freely.
This man figures that
itÕs to the glory of the cow to raise strong and healthy calves. Therefore, it
is normal to seek milk as your daily bread, ordained by God Himself for His now-teething
kids.
This man thinks that God
smiles at his thoughts and finds no offense in his thinking; in fact, He loves
the childlike intimacy he brings to their daily meetings in Òthe cool of the
dayÓ and in the closet.
This man used to believe
in the sickle and the hammer and a red flag.
Now he only believes in
the sledgehammer of prayer and the cross of Jesus.
This man thinks itÕs a
good idea to pray together RIGHT NOW to see the sovereign hand of God in this
electoral process and the world events. This is worth praying in such a times
as this that God allows things to deteriorate, that we can all come like
chicks, running under His wing and experience his care.
Let us not for a moment
fail to focus on our commitment to break the Dam in the confidence and
knowledge that He is the One who is more anxious to come than we are to readily
hammer away.
What is there for us to
lose, apart from our pots and pans and toys?
When the Dam is
open, it will not be us running like illegal immigrants to an open border. NO!
It will be like the flooding of Louisiana and Mississippi, waters flooding
everything in its way.
Remember, this is not a
second attempt for us to enter heaven. NO! It is GodÕs second and unstoppable
coming and taking us home, not as homeless refugees to a compassionate country
to enjoy shelter in nylon tend and to eat Òsoup and sauerkrautÓ. Ours will be
like flying first class in the private jet of the angel on ÒFriendly SkiesÓ to
an already-prepared banquet by God Himself. You may leave your sledgehammer at
the gate of the mansions.
ÒThis
man,Ó a brother of yours by the will and the blood of Jesus. Blessings.
Gerry Gutierrez.
