CATEGORY:RELIGION ------------------------- INSIDE GRENADA Sunday February 25,2007 by Osborne Baptiste (The views expressed in this article are those of the writer and not necessarily those of Grenadian Connection). PART 1 Fellow Grenadian, visitors; brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: grace, peace and mercy unto the beloved of the Lord. Oh that my words were now written! O that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.Jb.19: 23 _ 27. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: the Lord hath said unto me: “I have called you to prophesy to the nation, and to heal their diseases” The Lord hath also said unto me: “that this nation will not go forward, unless it repents; and that something will happen to set it back all the time, unless it repents” I saw the heavens open, and the angels sang for me a song. “Jesus is coming soon.” The Lord took me on a trip to hell to show me what was happening there. I saw, and heard children crying and asking for their parents. I saw and heard parents crying and asking for their children. I saw one man that was still alive at the time of the vision already in hell. I saw confusion every where. The place called hell is real, my friend. I saw Satan and we fought and the Lord showed me that he was defeated in battle. It was after this I was told by a voice that I would “soon see God.” I know that many of you do not fight with Satan. One morning at Wallace Memorial in New Hampshire, just about the time that we had completed our 5am to 6,am. morning cry in that church; something strange began to happen to me; I was not asleep. My two eyes began to pickle, (what we normally call cold bumps) and the stars in the heavens appeared before me as it were night time. And there before me the Lord was standing on his Foot-Stool. He is a spirit and I could see the stars on the other side of him through him. His Foot- Stool was made of something, looking like fine gold, and was lighted, but the corners were well pronounced; they were over a dark substance. I later learnt that they were dark waters (Read: Ex.24: 8, 9, and 10). Brothers and sisters, in Christ Jesus; please do not blaspheme that holy name whereby we are called. Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Ac. 13:41. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight. Is.5:20 & 21. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you (Matthew 7:6). Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, in order that our peculiarity should shine forth; we must be in the position to make the difference. And we can only be in the position to know the difference; if we are lead by the Holy Ghost; and believe the truth of the gospel. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus my testimony attributes to the fact, that I am no busy body looking for some cheap vain glory. I made a sacrifice, as I sought the Lord, with all of my heart; with all of my soul; and with all of my strength: and would not be denied. With tears, pray, and fasting, I followed hard after him, and like Jacob I held on to him, until I was blessed. I live in the fear of God; and the dread; of the God of Abraham, and Isaac and Jacob. Because! I have met him. The safety and security of our nation is in the hand of God; and judgment can only be held back, if the churches and the Government are listening to him. When there is full compliance with the instructions of God by church and government; the rest of the nation will follow easily. God’s command to this nation is in four words: “REPENT OR BE DESTROYED”. I have learnt a long time ago, that there is a terrible weakness in our churches in Grenada. And that is, we are not in the position to know who God called; and who he did not. And it came about because of the absence of the authority of the Holy Ghost in the operations, of most of these churches. In the absence of the spirit of discernment; we are doom to failure, and destruction. If you have become a despiser of the Lord’s anointed; you have become a despiser of God himself. Check the chain of command. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, because the leaders in this country have not repented, it is my understanding that some people are already, “cut off.” It is just a matter of time, before the axe that is laid to the root of the tree; completes the fall. Remember Samuel the prophet; and Saul. When judgment is passed on a man almost every thing that is done by that person thereafter goes wrong. Do not be confused with material success that will soon blow away with the wind. The playing of the wrong anthem for the Chinese, as was done in the presence of so many dignitaries, was a mistake per say, in the normal sense of duty, but in the spiritual way of live, it was judgment. Our Prime Minister was surprised, but I will like our Prime Minister to know, that unless he cries out to God for mercy and forgiveness; that there will be more surprises coming his way before the end of this year.
