 As the Story of Old Unfolds…

by Nicholas A Stivers

 

It is not I whom desires their love and attention but our Lord and Savior; He is the "One” who is worthy to be obeyed.

For the sacrifice He gave is sufficient for us to bear as he gives a greater grace to endure the suffering we share.

You are right about the expected outcome of our Faith. Though we know we are hated for clinging to our Lord, remember that the world will not hear us because they reject the Son and know Him not.

It seems they have forgotten Him who died for their sins.

You see, almost all want the salvation that was granted but so very few are willing to do what they're commanded.

They consider Him not and take their cheap shots. Stones they will cast as we suffer the storm. The treatment we get will be like it was before.
Though the story is told of a river that flowed, I feel like a man standing out in the cold.

A hot dry dessert at times without an oasis in sight, my thirst is quenched but not by the false prophets recompense.

It was my Lord who reached out saving me from this storm. He said it would pass but not before the last; my brethren of old would die to the last.
And then we would see all His glory promised unto we, who serve Him with glee and so very glad to be.

Be glad and rejoice for our yoke is made light and from within, His sun shines so bright.

Do not worry lest we tarry for soon He will come with Angels of might and all His terrible fury.

For the Faithful One has promised that we shall one day all be avenged and soon these wicked days will all come to an end.

Thanks be to Him who will come on the clouds of glory bringing with Himself the fulfillment of an old story.

For us it is true but others are lost for they are the ones who failed to count the cost.

I Cry Out, His Kingdom Come!

 

Lord, Let Your Will Be Done!
From the Nicholas Scrolls 2003

 

Seeking rest from the raging battle, fasting and praying, Lord hear my plea, From within I heard a voice, He said, “Son, listen to Me.” “If a man feareth anything, he should feareth this; whosoever speaks a word against My Spirit, of him I said, he shall not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven in this time and the latter.”

“My Son thus declared, “Kingdom against Kingdom shall be brought low unto desolation. Every city or house thus divided will not be united. If the deceiver casts himself out, how will his kingdom stand while divided? If I casteth out demons by the power of Satan, then your own children will be judged by these demons. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then be warned it is My Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. Know this oh sons of men; My Kingdom is inside you and all about you. You need not look for it beyond your front door.”

“For those who are not with Me, scatter and forsake Me. Those whom scatter and create their own illusion are they who blaspheme My Spirit and will. Blaspheme Me and they may be forgiven, blasphemy of My Spirit is never forgotten. For, all have had opportunity to hear but none are attending except few who are near. They are few and far between, not unlike the darkness of night with scattered stars to be seen.”

“Almost all have a judgment to bear; My bond-servants speak words in their ears, all My promised judgment and life of despair. My judgments which are long handed down, are sweeping this land coming to all manner of man. My angels hearken a call, to turn from your ways. Those who survive the sacred fire will come out fine, for their households are Mine.”

“I am cleaning all My house and home to make room for My Chosen’s abode. He, who desires this home I’ve prepared, must follow My signs or live in despair. Trust not in your religious ways, listen to My Son and pattern His ways. I begot My son that you may follow. Most are so vain and very shallow.”

“You have heard you have a choice oh sons of men, bear fruit now for Me or your suffering will never cease to end. If a good fruit is produced by your selfless deed, that tree I’ll keep is a good tree indeed.”

“So many now have gone astray. They forsook and abandoned Me for all their own ways. My judgment is long overdue; none shall escape their pending due. So many are faithless, yet I did promise, if they still reject the pattern I’ve sewn, the fabric of their cloth will be tattered and torn. Who has forgotten and witnessed the veil was torn! They heed not thus hear My rebuke and receive My scorn. For each that refuses to accept and walk their own way, in the end they’ll have nothing to say.”

“Accept My judgments today and live or by all means, you who reject My covenant, no more will I give. I have long endured your inflicted pain and suffering, from all who refuse My love and last offering.”
“Who will He be you ask in the street, a priest or prophet or stranger you meet?’ Though I have shown you My true desire, most will live like swine, wallowing in mire. They speak great things yet are unable to attain; My likeness and image, failing to ascertain.”

“For all who reject My servants I send, they’ve reaped what they sow, their ways they won’t mend. See for yourself and test these true words. They’re not so new as My servants foreknew. To each whom is called, he must now listen; few will hear My last call. They reject My servants mission and lack understanding of this man’s vision. Yea, multitudes follow after delusion, clinging to ecumenical illusion.”

I, Nicholas, do hereby affirm, by His blameless Word, my witness is confirmed. He speaks His voice once again, as it comes deep from within...
“Fill up then your contention measured. You are all vipers and snakes that gather. No different you are then from your fathers afar. With Me, they all wrestled and contend, of conflict and strife, there was no end. Despite what many proclaim of their false prophets and teachers, then I told you truly I would never send. You failed to see what My Word judges of thee. If they had been the servants I send, with all My conviction you would contend. Unto all their assemblies, the messengers I send were all cast out time and again. All the pomp hirelings are filled with great doubt! How then shall they receive the message I send? All close their doors and upon men they choose to depend.”

“I promised My messengers that life would be hard. Think not otherwise or you’ll be trapped by surprise. All My Elect, it is they whom you reject. My scribes and messengers, My wise men too, say people are vain and receive no reproof. My prophets warn in the streets and in the shops they speak, ‘It is God’s Son you despise while you plot your demise. Why then should chaos and calamity be such a surprise?”

“When the people awake and see what they’ve done, all they’re own deeds will be exposed in their sons. All will be seen in the Day by the light of My Son. My gift of grace and mercy, all are they that have shunned. They seek for riches, mammon and glory, refusing to learn from My old story. Refusing to abstain and seeking great gain, they push and shout, knocking each other about. This has created so very much doubt. In adherence to faith, few will remain.” So says the Spirit unto me.

This judgment is spoken and written by me so that all will have chance to abstain and refrain. The Lord has commanded to follow the pattern lest you be damned and your lives be shattered. Very much blood has stained your hands, you refused to repent and remove wickedness from the Promised Land.

“You are scorched as the withering vine, absent of water, wasting My time. You’ve spoiled the harvest and many gods’ you’ve made. Few are they who shall equate My offering, the life that would be by accepting My decree.”
“So many Christians today refuse to accept My Son’s gracious and eternal gift. My Word and life, they twist and pervert. From all your assemblies My prophets are banned, you reject My reproof and know Us not. Against Me, man lifts his hand. So, many are guilty of that which I warned. So many fail to speak what I warn. My forgiveness they reject, they chose their own path. The steps I direct, they refuse to accept. Of them, none are they whom I respect. The life I offered, they still reject. In the end it will be they who are lost for they are the ones who failed to count the cost. My Son they know not, His love they reject. Of My gospel, they have no respect”
“In the end… it is them I reject.”

These are the words and the dictates of the Holy Spirit in me. I tell you true and I lie to you not. If you should choose to go your own way, remember these words and forget them not. The way to the Father and His heavenly Kingdom is through the Son from whom all sin was forgiven. But should you desire to still depart, remember it was I that tried to heal your heart. Let no one say I didn’t do my part.

The Word bears this out, see for yourselves. See Matthew 12:25-32 and 12:34-37 and 23:33-36. Spoken with all boldness of speech and conviction of heart, your most humbled and faithful servant to Christ our Lord, Nicholas “Listen to Him!”


His Love and Hatreds

 

In order to embrace the fullness of Christ’s love for us we must also be able to understand and accept His hatreds. Otherwise His love cannot be made complete in us. What does scripture say about God’s hatreds?

According to the New Covenant terms, God’s hatreds are pretty clear and much of those were carried over from the Old Testament. In proverbs, God’s hatreds are recorded as such; See Proverbs 6:16-19These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”

And the Spirit boldly proclaims, “I am reaching out yes, searching all levels of society as you now know it. I am searching the whole world over and seeking the one’s whose hearts have been softened by the conviction I place upon them. I search for the humility and measure their willingness. All will have had opportunity to decide what attire to wear. All will hear My invitation. Say to them,I HATE MURDER, I HATE ELITISM, I HATE DIVORCE, I HATE SODOMY, I HATE LIES AND HIDDEN AGENDAS, I HATE THE PRIDE OF MAN, I HATE THEIR MEDIOCRITY AND REBELLION, AND I HATE THEIR HYPOCRISY!”

Wealth and Poverty

 

It’s a good thing that with much suffering cometh great strength and resolve. It’s a good thing that the riches and treasures Christ spoke of can be carried in a man or woman’s heart instead of having to cart around all that extra baggage that people carry today. I strongly believe that is how and why His burden is a lighter yoke to carry. The only real treasure we can be proud of is the abundance of love He places in our heart. I am convinced that if I did not have love and if I did not know humility, I would probably respond to today’s atrocities like so many do. They respond with anger though their message may have relevance, they are angry and I know that anger does not achieve the righteousness of God. They respond with many fears because they are afraid to admit that God still chooses to dwell in human hosts just as the Father of all Creation designed it. They respond out of envy because they are jealous for what another man may possess and they covet and lust for that which they do not possess. They respond with crass insults because they are ignorant and they refuse to know the wisdom of God. Sometimes they respond with a sympathetic understanding but are unwilling themselves to admit they are shameful and all their deeds are shameful. They sometimes respond out of a genuine love and admiration but are unwilling or unable to see themselves as being potential recruits for the Harvest. Sometimes… all they see is what they are unwilling to give up for the pearl of great price. For these that are this way, they have become the poverty Christ spoke of. The world views wealth differently than how Jesus viewed it. On the other side of that same coin, the world views poverty differently than Jesus viewed it. Oh my, what a truly impoverished world we live in today. Satan has certainly done his job well. But then, what do I know? I am just a simple man with a great faith and a strong message. But don’t just take my word for it, see for yourselves.

Lend your ears now for our Lord must have the last Word.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses, every fact may be confirmed.”

James 1:22-27 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he who beholds himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seems to be religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

1 Peter 4:1-3 “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banqueting, and abominable idolatries.”

1 Peter 4:17-19 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins with us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.”

These are the words and dictates of the Spirit in me and I encourage each one who receives these letters, please do not shun or discount these matters. I come not as a man who ascribes to weak religion but a man whose heart is terribly convicted. If it is hard to accept my boldness of speech, please understand, my Lord thus commands, to the people I must speak.

Your most humbled and faithful brother and servant to our Lord, Nicholas
