DAILY MANNA FROM RUSSELL AND HELEN

RUSSELL SANDERS

1-23-2022

ARE YOU FRUITFUL?

I Corinthians 3:11-15 tells that our foundation of faith is built upon Jesus Christ (v. 11). How we build upon that foundation will be revealed in heaven at the Bema Seat judgment of Christ. Some build with value (metaphorically gold, silver, precious stones) and some with junk (wood, hay, stubble). Rewards will be given based on how you built your life on earth.

The “junk” works will not stand up for reward any more than wood, hay, or stubble would stand in a fire, yet the person would be saved. They have nothing to show for their life. Those who have works valuable to the Lord will be greatly rewarded.

What are the works of value by which you will be judged? Some say that it is the number of souls that you led to Jesus or to whom you witness. How sad that most believers have never personally led anyone to salvation. So, what exactly does scripture define as good fruit (works) by which you will be rewarded? Is it not what you did with what God gave you to be fruitful?

The great apostle Peter tells us the values by which we come to acknowledge (understand) the Lord more. As we surrender our will to God’s will, these seven things will add to our foundation of faith on Jesus Christ. These seven values are found in II Peter 1:5-8 and they are:

1. Virtue: (Greek – force or strength of mind and body) the strength to live and act in moral excellence, goodness, righteousness.

2. Knowledge: (Greek – gnosis) to know, especially the word of God and His precepts as known from the written and preached word and from Holy Spirit. Without Godly knowledge, we live in foolishness.

3. Temperance: (Greek – egkrateia) self-control. Exercising proper control of your desires, senses, or passions.

4. Patience: (Greek – hupomone) a cheerful or hopeful endurance, a patient continuance, remaining constant. Notice that it does not indicate any negativity.

5. Godliness: (Greek – eusebeia) piety, holiness. Related to well-reverent, devout. Shows the importance of holy living.

6. Brotherly kindness: (Greek – Philadelphia) fraternal affection, love of the brethren. Jesus told us in John 13:34-35 that we are known to be His by the love that we have for one another, our brothers and sisters in Christ.

7. Charity: (Greek – agape) love. A God-given love for all mankind, a deep love for the souls of people, different from “Philadelphia” above.

II Peter 1:8 says that when our life has been marked by these seven virtues, they make you “neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge (our understanding or acknowledging) of our Lord Jesus Christ” who is Himself our judge at the Bema Seat. These 7 qualities do not give us an out for not being a witness and winning the lost. These qualities help us to be more like Jesus enabling us to be more like him.

Jesus came to seek and save those that were lost, and that should be our hearts’ desire also. As we come to know Jesus more and more through these virtues, we will become more like him. Our heart’s desires will be his heart’s desires and we will desire to bring fruit (souls) into his kingdom.

THE MIDNIGHT HOUR

In Matthew 25 it speaks of the coming of the bridegroom. There were ten virgins awaiting his coming. He had tarried and came at midnight. They had all fallen asleep waiting for him to come.

Today we are speaking of the tarrying and coming at a late hour. We know that the bridegroom represents Jesus, and midnight is not an hour that most would think appropriate for a wedding. I believe he tarried because he doesn’t want anyone not to be able to be saved and come to the wedding.

The days we are in have caused many people to shut down in their work for the Lord. They have become like the foolish virgins, thinking they would have enough oil, but they didn’t. They had to go to the world looking for it, and they found a substitute, but it was too late. Midnight had come and gone. They tried to knock on the door, but it was just like Noah’s ark. The door was shut. Later someone came in without a wedding garment and was cast out into darkness.

We have to be about our Heavenly Father’s business in this hour. The world is ripe for the “man of peace” to come on the scene. He will usher in a falsehood that all is at “peace and safety.” Many are deceived into thinking that we will go back to what was once called normal, but that day is gone unless normal for you was being about your Father’s business. The beast system has been set up and soon it will take effect.

Are we prepared to go through the dark days of revelation that take place before the Lord sets up his kingdom on earth? There are two ways to be prepared my friends. Spiritually is number one through salvation and being obedient to what God has called you to do. The other is to be prepared in the physical for hard times. The midnight hour is a ways off, because the man of peace has not yet come on the scene. I believe there will be great turmoil on earth through natural and man-made disasters that will bring him to the forefront with answers. It could happen very soon. People will hang on his every word. He is like the false oil the foolish virgins went to buy. Don’t settle for the world’s oil. It won’t work.

This is not the hour to be asleep. This is the hour to be more awake than ever listening to the Holy Spirit as He guides you. This is the hour to read the scriptures and let them talk to you. This is the hour to be a witness to that one lost soul that deserves salvation as much as you and me.

Don’t be asleep at the midnight hour with no oil in your lamp. Be vigilant until that hour comes, and like Noah, you will enter the ark, which is the Lord, and be safe.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

Woe unto the prophets that would prophesy that all is good when there is a shaking and quaking coming that will bring men to their knees and bring destruction and famine. Woe to those that sit in the pew and listen for a tickling ear message, for I would say that your ears will burn with the word of God that will bring down houses that say they are of me, and they are not. Woe unto them that prophesy that riches and fame are yours for the asking, for I would say unto you that the riches of this world shall bring you down saith the Lord. This is the season of cleansing, and my fire shall burn throughout the land. It will burn in the churches that have stood on the fence and they shall be burned without repentance. It shall burn in lives that have compromised the word and have shared what men want to hear rather than what I would have them hear. The day of the false prophet will be made more clearer than ever. For I will expose those that have secret sin and will bring them to their knees in repentance or will burn them up along with their vanities saith the Lord. For this is the hour that will bring much sorrow to those that have not heeded the call to come to me and be repentant of heart. For there will be much sorrow as plague after plague will be sent just as in the days of Moses before Pharaoh. For I will bring judgment on those that have said good is evil and evil good. It will start with those in leadership and will come down into the houses of those that have little for they have turned their backs to me. They have hardened their hearts and have become as hard as stone. For those stones shall be crushed under the weight of my judgment. I would say this is not the hour to play the game of church. This is the hour for the true church to rise up and be the mouthpiece to call sin, sin and evil, evil. This is the hour to rise and shine and be what I have called you to be. But woe unto those that have heard the call and have not heeded it, for surely as the handwriting was on the wall, your days are numbered saith the Lord. Turn, turn back to me with a repentant heart and I will spare you. Be the watchman that soundeth the alarm when they see evil coming. Be the ones that will pay the price no matter what the cost shall be saith the Lord. For the time is at hand that these things shall take place. There are no more warnings. For I have declared it saith the Lord.

Apostle Pat Murray

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

It's time to quit looking in the rear-view mirror of life; And look straight ahead to where you’re going. It’s only then you’ll have a clearer view of all that’s in front of you…Without being so blinded by what you left behind. You can only imagine what your eyes, your heart and your spirit is soon to behold; For as you look out into the new horizons ahead…Just know it’s there where you’ll be in a position to become better prepared. So move on with greater expectations of all your Father God has awaiting you. Have a blessed day; And keep looking forwards and upwards…But never backwards and downwards.

This is what some of our readers are saying about our newsletter

From a reader in Michigan:

Beautiful Newsletters this Morning, The Best way to start the day, after I say Good Morning Lord!!

From a reader in Florida:

The newsletters are keeping me alert during this pandemic. i am learning a lot as well. I had not known of The Bema seat of judgement.

reading these articles is feeding my spirit. thank you. last year the lockdowns prevented churches from being open. your ministry fills in the gap, for " manna" .

From a reader in Ohio:

I want to thank you for putting things on here to enlighten us on the real truth.

I was raised in a Bible believing church, but never heard the scriptures taught the way I'm taught through reading every morning. Thank you so much for following God's leading in your lives. Thank you again. Love to you both in Jesus.
