JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 155

HIS WINNOWING FAN IS IN HIS HAND AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY PURGE....HIS THRESHING FLOOR..AND GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO THE BARN BUT HE WILL...BURN UP THE CHAFF, WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE......................MATTHEW 3 : 12

THE QUICK SWEEP OR THE THOROUGH PURGE?

St Matthew says that Jesus the Christ will purge His threshing floor, or His Church, He actually says that He/Jesus will ...thoroughly...purge His threshing floor. Has the Church understood this or are we still trying to hide somewhere in the corner from master Jesus?...Luke 7 :32.

It grieves me to see and hear ministers, church leaders and professing gospel teachers trying to place other meanings on Gods dealings with His Church.

The lastest I have heard is the sloppy and weak exposition of Jeremiah 23:29 where Brian Houston tries his hardest to water down the words of this no nonsense non profit prophet. Brian seems to think that fire and hammer means toasting marshmallows and building cubby houses. No Brian it means what the prophet says...fire that burns out dross/sin, fire that ignites the human heart to serve Yahweh wholeheartedly, without compromise..some call this over the top...

Hammer meaning, breaking rocks......rocks not pebbles,the prophet is talking about hard headed,head strong and hard hearted peoples...ref/Matthew 21: 42-44.

Churches, ministries and religions at large prefer the ...quick sweep ...rather than the thorough purge but the quick sweep will never make a saint out of any sinner...1 Peter 1:22, Hebrews 5:9, Romans 6:18

True believers are the wheat , the ones who will to stand before His winnowing fan/shovel and be refined. The chaff is the hypocrite whose on the run from the unadulterated truth, dodging and weaving all the way to hell fire eternal.

My bible says that unquenchable fire awaits the chaff / hypocrite, it is this scripture that proves the...there is no such thing as eternal death teaching...a lie from satan the devil, the deceiver. St Matthew says unquenchable fire, or fire that never goes out nor can it be stopped not even by the Pope.

Church goers abroad are experiencing His winnowing fan today and His purging love, some have stamped it the devil,.......some think they aren't giving enough money to Pastor Rich Consolation, others just feel as if they have a bad temper.

Whatever the case these church goers haven't been told that judgement starts at the house of the Lord. If we are not able to receive the purging of His Church, we will by no means stand in the ...great winnowing or the separating of true saint and sin lovers for eternity.......Isaiah 40: 21-31.

So what do you want?...the quick sweep or the thorough purge? What are you  getting at your church each week, the quick sweep and the long collection or the thorough purge and the quick love offering? Hammers that break rocks are sledge hammers. Rocks not stones or pebbles.....Jeremiah 23 : 29.

Amen.
