3 2 THE MESSENGER OF GOD I. A WORD FOR TIMOTHY II This Word from the Lord was given to Timothy II on the airplane while returning from the Philippines on February 29 th, You are the Angel of the Lord - the Messenger of God. What does this mean? The two key words are Angel and Messenger. The answers are found in the Scriptures, in the Hebrew and Greek Text. Angel: In the Hebrew: 4397 mal'ak (mal-awk'); from an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher): KJV-- ambassador, angel, king, messenger. In the Greek: 32 aggelos (ang'-el-os); from aggello [probably derived from 71; compare 34] (to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an "angel"; by implication, a pastor: KJV-- angel, messenger. Messenger: In the Hebrew: 4397 mal'ak (mal-awk'); from an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher): KJV-- ambassador, angel, king, messenger. In the Greek: 652 apostolos (ap-os'-tol-os); from 649; a delegate; specially, an ambassador of the Gospel; officially a commissioner of Christ ["apostle"] (with miraculous powers): KJV-- apostle, messenger, he that is sent. Scriptures dealing with this Word from the Lord to Timothy II: Angel: Gal 4:14

4 3 14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Rev 22:16 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Messenger: Prov 13:17 17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. Prov 25:13 13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. Isa 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Hag 1: Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, Mal 3:1 1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Matt 11:10 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Matt 11: And if ye will receive it, this is Elias (Elijah), which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mark 1:2-3 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Luke 7:27 27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Rev 22:20 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. II. INTRODUCTION:

5 4 Isa 42:9 9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Today God is Calling His Angel/His Messenger to prepare the way for Jesus Appearing. (Titus 2:13) Jesus is Coming Very Soon and NOW is the time for His preparation. Just as there was an appointed time for John the Baptist to begin Crying-Out of the Wilderness; so now is the time for the Angel of the Lord, the Messenger of God to Cry- Out in the Church (Wilderness). This Crying-Out must take place before the Appearing of Jesus Christ, so that the True Church (the Body of Christ), may hear the Voice of the Lord and come into the Fullness of Christ! (Ephesians 4:13) You may call this Servant of God an Apostle, Prophet, Messenger, or Angel. It really doesn t matter what you call him, because God has Called him God is the only one that can send forth His True Messenger that will Prepare the Way of the Lord. The Church cannot do it! The Messenger cannot be a current Pastor! The obvious reasons are: 1. Most churches will not receive another Pastor. 2. Neither will the Pastors themselves take criticism or judgment from a peer. No one does. 3. Most Pastors will not reveal their secrets to one another. They are leery that something told in confidence might get out. 4. Also there is jealousy and envy among many Pastors. 5. The Pastors cannot and should not leave their flock for long periods of time. The Messenger of God must travel, which includes much time away from their home base. The Messenger of God has no ties with the churches, but with the whole Body of Christ. This frees him up from being influenced or biased by certain denominational or organizational doctrine. The True Messenger will only listen to God! As the Book of Acts represents the beginnings of the early church period, so now is a New Era that is the conclusion of the final church period. In those early days, many did not understand what was happening; Paul was even accused of Heresy. (Acts 24:14) This concluding era of the church, will also cause some of the same reaction from the churches. Thus The Messenger of God must remain steadfast in what God has told him, and be led by the Holy Spirit and Filled with all the Fullness of God (the Seven Spirits of God). (Ephesians 3:19) God has raised up His Messenger specifically for these last days, to prepare the True Church (the Body of Christ), for JESUS SOON COMING!! And, He will come SUDDENLY for His Church! (Malachi 3:1) III. THE ANGEL/MESSENGER:

6 5 The following Scripture was given to Timothy II from the Lord during the very first part of his ministry. Now after many years of doing Evangelism, particularly in the Philippines, God is bringing this Scripture to fruition for Timothy II. It is time for this Messenger/Angel to begin to Cry-Out in the Wilderness and Desert Churches. This work of the Lord for Timothy II will be world-wide, but will be concentrated in Asia (the Window). This is because the majority of this part of the world is Unsaved. The Lord wants the New Churches that are being raised up in this part of the world to hear the True Word of God immediately, so that they will not be given over to Unsound and/or False Doctrine. This must happen before Jesus returns, because there is not enough time left for these Final Churches that are being birthed, to grow through the entangled mess that most churches have had to go through. They need to be ready immediately as part of the Bride of Christ for His return. (Revelation 19:7) Isa 40:3 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. A. THE VOICE OF THE MESSENGER: The following Scripture is a confirmation of the above Scripture for Timothy II. It explains that the Lord will go before His Messenger, and open the doors for him to be able to do this Work of the Ministry. Isa 45:2 2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: The Lord always confirms the Voice or Word of His Messenger. This is done through the Signs and Wonders that will follow the Word. (Acts 2:22 2 Corinthians 12:12 Mark 16:20) The Lord will also perform the Counsel that is given by the Messenger. In other words, the Lord will make it happen. (Isaiah 40:13-14 Proverbs 8:14) This will be done through the Spirit of Counsel. (Isaiah 11:2) Because of this, what the Messenger says and does, will be the Truth! Through the Messenger, the Lord shall raise up His Decayed Churches! NOW it will happen! Because He is COMING SOON! Isa 44:26 26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof: B. THAT CRIETH IN THE WILDERNESS:

7 6 To understand what it means to Cry-Out in the Wilderness Churches, we need to know what is a Wilderness. The Dictionary says: A Wilderness is: 1. A wasteland, a tangled growth of plants, an uncultivated and uninhabited region. 2. A vast confusing aggregation (collection) as a wilderness of signboards. Syn. Desert, waste. This means that a Wilderness doesn t necessarily have to be uninhabited. It can just be uncultivated or be so crowded that it becomes entangled or is in confusion. This is much like many Churches of today! This is the Wilderness, where God s Messenger, is to Cry-Out!! C. PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD: Preparing the Way of the Lord, consists of getting the True Church, the Body of Christ ready for His Soon Coming. This consists of the cleansing of the Wilderness Churches, and a Call to Repentance! (Read the Tract on The Cleansing of the Church by Timothy II) Mark 1:2-4 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Matt 3:1-3 1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Matt 3:7-8 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: D. MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT: The Dictionary says: A Desert is: A barren tract of land; a sandy waste.

8 7 This means that a Desert is a dry empty waste. Many Churches are exactly that! They are deader than doornails. There is no youth activity going on, no activity of any kind, no excitement, just dryness. Most are denominational churches that long ago have left their first love and perform their church duties through habit! The only good thing about these churches is, they are not luke warm, they are cold ; therefore, Jesus can still do something with them. (Revelation 3:15-16) The Messenger of God is to make a straight path for the Lord Jesus in these Desert Churches, by bringing them back to life! The crooked paths of the Desert Churches can only be made straight by God! (Ecclesiastes 1:15 7:13) Luke 3:4-5 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; John 1:23 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. E. A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD: The Messenger of God is to build a Highway for our God. This Highway is for the Body of Christ to walk upon to meet Jesus in the Air! This Highway, is a Spiritual Highway, not a physical one. The Highway is for the remnant of God s people, the True Body of Christ, that have overcome Satan and his devices and tricks. (2 Corinthians 2:11) Isa 11:16 16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria (Satan); like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. The Highway is for the Upright, and that Highway is TO DEPART FROM EVIL! Prov 16:17 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. To Depart from Evil, we must Hate Evil. To Hate Evil, is to Fear the Lord. (Proverbs 8:13 3:7 14:16 16:6) The Fear of the Lord is Wisdom and to Depart from Evil is Understanding! These are three of the Seven Spirits of God.

9 8 Job 28:28 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. The Upright are those who Fear the Lord, Hate Evil, and keep themselves from presumptuous sins! Job 1:1 1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed (Hated) evil. Ps 19:13 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. The Upright will Praise the Lord with their whole Heart in the True Church. Ps 111:1 1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The Upright are a light in the darkness. They are full of compassion and Righteous. Ps 112:4 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. The Upright are not afraid. They trust in the Lord. Ps 112:7 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. The Upright gives freely to the poor. Ps 112:9 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The Upright walk in the right Way through Righteousness. Prov 13:6 6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

10 9 IV. PREPARE THE WAY OF THE PEOPLE: The Messenger of God is also to Prepare the Way of the People. He will go into the churches and Cast up the Highway. That is, to point out through Sound Doctrine, the Fear of the Lord and to Hate Evil and Depart from it. The Messenger is to remove the stones, those that are causing division and strife, and to Lift up a Standard. That Standard is not faith, prosperity, psychology, family, etc., but is only JESUS! These doctrines of men which have some truth in them, have caused a stumblingblock, and many churches have left their first Love! (Revelation 2:4) Isa 62:10 10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. Isa 57:14 14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. The Holy Spirit will be the one to lift up the Standard through God s Messenger, and He shall come against the enemy! Isa 59:19 19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. The Messenger of God is to stand in the Gates of the Wilderness and Desert Churches and proclaim this Word! Jer 7: Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. REPENT! 3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. You are the Temple of the Lord! (1 Corinthians 3: :19-20) 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. REPENT! And do the following:

11 10 5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. But some of you trust in lies. 8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. You think because you prayed the Sinner s Prayer once, that you are saved and can do whatever you want. Do you think you can Sin presumptuously? 9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And then have the nerve to come to church and say that you are saved and delivered to do these abominations. 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? God is asking you Do you think He is stupid and doesn t see these things? Remember, God looks upon the Heart! 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. Look at the other examples of what God did to those people that have Sinned and become Transgressors. (Psalms 78:60) 12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. If you do not listen to God s Messenger that is speaking God s Word, then the same will happen to you! God will cast you and the church out of His sight (to Outer Darkness). 13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; 14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

12 11 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Once Judgment is passed, we are not to pray or to intercede for these people nor their church! (Jeremiah 11:14 14:11-12) 16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Because! Jer 18:15 15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; It is too late! Jer 18:17 17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. V. THE WAYWARD PASTORS/PRIESTS AND THE CHURCH: Many Wayward Pastors/Priests are the cause of the churches becoming a Wilderness! Jer 12:10 10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made JESUS to serve with their Sins! Their Teachers have Transgressed against Him! Isa 43:24 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. Isa 43:27 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Many Pastors/Priests have become senseless and no longer seek the Lord. Jer 10:21

13 12 21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. One day the Lord will ask you Pastors/Priests in the Wilderness and Desert Churches this question! Jer 13:20 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? Woe unto you! Jer 23:1-4 1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. God will bring the True Remnant of His Flock together, and they shall become the True Body of Christ. 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And God will raise up His own Pastors/Priests over them. 4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. VI. THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: As The Messenger of God ministers through the Holy Spirit, there will be changes in the Wilderness and Desert Churches. Through The Fullness of the Holy Spirit, these churches will become Fruitful Fields. However, Judgment will follow! Isa 32: Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. When these churches become Fruitful, they will look like a Forest, but God is not finished with them yet. They and their flocks will continue to be weeded out!

14 13 The Fruitful Field is counted or esteemed as a Forest, but they are not and will not be a Forest! They will be a Remnant! Isa 29:17 17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? God s Judgment will come to the Wilderness and Desert Churches and remain, so that they will become stable while waiting for His return! The result will be Righteousness in the Church! PTL! 16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. Judgment must begin in the churches! Therefore, Jesus will not return until this happens. 1 Pet 4:17 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? The Judgment of the Lord will be as a fire, and that fire is for the Fat churches! It will cause a cleansing of the churches so that there will be few of them left! Isa 10: Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. 17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; 18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. 19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them. As God trims down the number of churches, those remaining will become the True Body of Christ. Names will no longer be of any importance! The wickedness of the Wilderness and Desert Churches, will kindle a fire and it will devour those that have crept in unawares. (Jude 4) Isa 9:18 18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

15 14 Judgment will return Righteousness to the True Church, for the Upright in Heart to follow! Ps 94:15 15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. That Righteousness will bring the long awaited peace and quietness and assurance that the Upright in Heart have so long desired. 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; The final Judgment on the Wilderness and Desert Church will be as Hail. The Hail is for the lying leaders. Hail is frozen raindrops. There are those who keep talking about the Latter Rain that they expect to come down, but instead many will get Hail because of their lies!! 19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. Many churches are full of deceit, lies and falsehoods, yet they think they know the Lord. Jer 9:6 6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. The Leaders of these churches need to hear the Word of God through His Messenger and Repent! (Proverbs 28:13) Isa 28: Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. The Hail will sweep away the lies and the hiding places in these churches.

16 15 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. Judgment shall also be as an Ax for the prideful & haughty in the churches, especially those that are caught up in persons, titles and names. (James 2:9 Philippians 3:8) Isa 10: Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. However, the True Brethren, those that not only witness for Jesus, but also that send out Missionaries to other places, will be blessed by the Lord. (Proverbs 11:30 14:25) 20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. VII. THE RESULTS OF GOD S JUDGMENT: The Results of God s Judgment dwelling in the True Church, will bring beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for heaviness; and will restore all those who Repent. The remaining True Worshippers will become known as the Trees of Righteousness. The True Church will become a mixture of all colors and types of people that are compared in the Scriptures to Trees.. Isa 61:3 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Joy and peace will cause all the Trees of Righteousness to sing and clap their hands. Isa 55: For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. When God removes the unbelievers from the True Church, the results will be an increase of different types of people and that will be an Everlasting Sign.

17 16 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. God will plant in the Wilderness and Desert Church a mixture of people that will beautify His Sanctuary, and that will cause them all to know that it is He that has done it. Isa 41: I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: 20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. Isa 60:13 13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. VIII. THE FINAL RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH: The Wilderness and Desert Church and all those that are alone or separated from the Body of Christ, will be glad when the presence of the Godhead becomes evident to them. This will happen through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (The Seven Spirits of God), that will be a result of the Word of God that is spoken through His Messenger. (Revelation 1:4-5) (Read the book The Seven Spirits of God by Timothy II) Even the Desert (dry) Church will come to life. Isa 35: The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. The True Church will blossom, like the cedars of Lebanon, like the fruit trees of Carmel and the flowers of Sharon. They will see the Glory of the Lord - Jesus! (Read the Tract The Glory of the Lord by Timothy II) 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. Jesus is called the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the valley. (Song of Solomon 2:1) In His Restored Church, He will bring rest to His people that have sought Him.

18 17 Isa 65:10 10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor (trouble) a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. The message that God s Messenger will speak, will also be to encourage the weak and to strengthen those that are in constant fear. As the Truth is spoken, it will reveal that God is in control and not man, and He is Coming with a Vengeance! 3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Even though many may be chastened by the Lord through the Voice of God s Messenger, it is but for a short time, and the fruit of it will be peace and Righteousness. Heb 12: Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Jesus Christ is the one who comforts us through the Holy Spirit. (John 15:26 16:7) As He was made to die, so will all men die, therefore, why be afraid of any man. Isa 51:12 12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; Old things will pass away including man, but our Salvation is forever. Put your trust in this!! Isa 51:6-7 6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. 7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. In the Final Restoration of the Church, greater Miracles than ever before will happen in the True Church.

19 18 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. As in Jesus Ministry, Miracles will abound! Matt 11:5 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. This will come as a direct result of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like never before, and the presence of the Godhead will bring new life to the Wilderness and Desert Churches! 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. This is a NEW THING of God. If you think the Miracles you are seeing today are something, You ain t seen nothing yet!! This will spring forth as God makes a Way in the Wilderness and Desert Churches!! Isa 43:19 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Even in the places where demons have flourished, God will pour out His Holy Spirit; and in the habitats of these demons, will reside people of God and their children. 7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. These demons will even honor Jesus when they see the Final Restoration of the Wilderness and Desert Churches, and what God does for His Chosen people! Isa 43: The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This Remnant of God s people are those that God has formed for Himself! 21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. The Messenger of God will Cry-out and remind us, that all flesh is as grass, and the good as flowers; yet all will wither and die!

20 19 Isa 40:6-7 6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 1 Pet 1:24 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon those that are thirsty. He will pour out His Spirit upon their children, and they shall flourish and be Filled with the Holy Spirit. (Joel 2:28-29 Acts 2:17) Isa 44:3-4 3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: 4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. In the Final Restored Church, there will be a Highway. This will be The Highway to Heaven, that is cast up by The Messenger of God. There will also be a Way, the Way of Holiness. Even though many Christians of today think it is impossible, these Christians WILL live in Holiness! The unclean that have been leading Christians astray, will no longer be there! Even the wandering Christians shall no longer go astray! Even though they have been fools, they will no longer error therein. 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. The Messenger of God will help the Pastors/Priests to help set up Way Marks or Guidelines for the people in the Church, so that they will keep their Hearts focused on the Highway! This will be done through the many Free Books, Study Guides, Tracts, CD s, Cassettes and Videos that are made available for them by The Messenger of God. Jer 31:21 21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities. We actually know the Way today, but we just won t follow His Way!

21 20 John 14:4 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. JESUS IS THE WAY!! THE ONLY WAY!! John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. And His Way is The Way of Holiness!! 1Thes 4:7 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. We are told to cleanse ourselves and to perfect Holiness. This can only be done through God the Holy Spirit. That is why we must walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:16) This WILL happen in the Final Restored Church! 2 Cor 7:1 1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. The Way of Holiness is narrow, that is why few there be that find it. This is a Truth that Timothy II has believed for a long time. That Truth is that the True Church - the Body of Christ that is going in the Translation (Rapture), is much smaller than most people think!! (Colossians 1:13 Hebrews 11:5) Matt 7:14 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Once we realize that we can become free from presumptuous sin (Psalms 19:13), we will be willing and able to Serve the Lord. Then our fruit will blossom into True Holiness and Eternal Life! Rom 6:22 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. The Bible says that we will not see Heaven without walking in Holiness! Heb 12:14 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

22 21 No demons or those that are slaves to Satan, will walk on the Highway to Heaven. They won t be able to find the Highway, no matter how hard they try. Only the Redeemed will walk on the Highway! 9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: Satan s power will be removed by the Authority of The Messenger of God. (Luke 10:19) That Authority has been given by Jesus Christ Himself! The Devil may act as a roaring lion, but those in the Final Restored Church, know they too have Authority over him! He cannot devour you unless you let him! 1 Pet 5:8 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: After the True Church - the Body of Christ is Translated (Raptured), we will return to earth with everlasting joy and gladness. 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isa 51:11 11 Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Isa 62:12 12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. IX. THOSE THAT WILL BE THERE: All True Christians will be there. If you are not sure you are a Christian, then you better make sure!! (Romans 10:9-10) Isa 43:7 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Are you Jesus Witnesses? Are you His Servants?

23 22 Isa 43: Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Do you know that Jesus is the ONLY Savior? 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. There is still hope for those of you that have been Spiritually Deaf to the Words in the Bible, and to those of you that have been too Spiritually Blind to see the True Light! Isa 43:8 8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Isa 29: And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. The Spiritually Blind will have their eyes opened, and the Lord will lead them in the Way of Holiness, a Way they have not known! Isa 42:16 16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. In the Final Restored Church, happiness and joy will be increased to the mild mannered Christians, even including the wimps. Also the poor will rejoice for the richness of God s Glory! 19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. Because the Devil will no longer have power over the Final Restored Church ; the scorners will be consumed, and those that are always looking for iniquity and pointing fingers at the Brethren, will be cut off! (Proverbs 22:10) 20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. Those in the Final Restored Church will no longer be ashamed to say that they are a Christian, nor be afraid of men. When they see the Work of the Lord on the children, they will sanctify the Lord s Name, and they will Fear the Lord!

24 23 22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. 23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. In the Final Restored Church, even those that in the past have erred in their own spirit, and those that are murmurers, will come to understanding and shall learn Sound Doctrine. 24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. X. CONCLUSION: The Lord will cause His Voice to be heard in the Wilderness and Desert Churches, through The Messenger of God. God s judgment will come down with a devouring fire. Many of these churches and/or the people in them, will be scattered through the storm and the hailstones; but the Faithful will remain. Through the Voice of the Lord spoken by God s Messenger, the Devil will be beaten down Isa 30: And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. 31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian (Devil) be beaten down, which smote with a rod. For those that Fear the Lord (Hate Evil and Depart from It), we have a promise from God, that not only us, but also our children and grandchildren will be Saved. Ps 103: But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To those of us that keep His Covenant and do His Commandments, we can look forward to the Kingdom of Heaven. (1 John 5:3 3:23-24) 18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

25 24 This is the Covenant between God and His Messenger : That we Bless the Lord, and listen to the voice of His Word. 20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels (Messenger), that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. You Ministers of the Lord are also to Bless the Lord. (1 John 3:22) 21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. All are to Bless the Lord. (Psalms 26:12 34:1 68:26 103:1) 22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. The Messenger of God is to remind the True Church - the Body of Christ, that they are to Teach all Nations (or make Disciples or Christians of all Nations), and Baptize them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (2 Timothy 2:2) Matt 28: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Not only Teaching (Saving) and Baptizing them, but also to bring them into a closer understanding and relationship with the Godhead! I Jn 5:7 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. This will be accomplished by having a closer relationship with Jesus Christ: Col 2:9 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And by understanding the Fullness of the Seven Spirits of God. Col 1:19 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; John 3:34 34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 1:16 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

26 25 And Finally, The Messenger of God is to remind all the True Church - the Body of Christ, that they are to Teach all Nations to observe All that God has Commanded them. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
