Micah 7: 1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. ( hear we see Micah is as they are. He went to gather the summer fruits as the grapegleanings of the vintage but there was no cluster to eat. The vine was not producing any fruit. The vintage is showing that Old Israel or law. God was dealing with the Old Israel and that Israel or law has been done away with. This is the church age, now. What he ( God) did to that law he will do the same to the church age. There is no one that would or will dress the vineyard or purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. There is no wine to drink. The fruit on the vine has become rotten by the church. Now, what is on the vine? These so-called men of God did not want to labor in the vineyard. The husbandman (pastor) left the vine with tender grapes and look what happened.
Song of Solomon 2:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. (That is right the dresser of the vineyard allowed the foxes spoil the vines. Foxes meaning. someone who gets what they want by deceit or cunning. A cunning person is willing to use subtlety. Now, who is this subtle person? None other than man Adam (serpent ) Yes. this goes back to Genesis 3 King James Version (KJV)
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. This tree is called, knowledge of good and evil (law). This is what the church is serving you today. This is what God said. In Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.. ......there is death in that evil tree. Yes, Adam was the serpent in the Garden that deceived Eve.
Mat. 21:18 Now in the morning as he ( Jesus ) returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. ( there is nothing to eat on the tree but leaves because it has withered away and died. The church has allowed 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Hosea 9:10
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: ( That is showing Jesus and apostles on the day of Pentecost. The true church) but they (the false church) went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved. ( yes, the church has separated themselves unto shame; and their abominations were according as they loved. yes, the church loves their evil holidays, yard sales, eatings, singings and so much more and it is abomination and shame to the living God. Isaiah 17:6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel. ( once again to the people of the church you are not getting anything from the fruit trees. There is no cluster on the tree. The vine ( church) is no longer producing fruit. The vine has become sour and corrupt. There was no more and still no fertile soil.
Micah 7:2.. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. ( I am going to take this to the natural first. Just look around and see how America has become. Look how our great nation has become. It is so dangerous to go out the door to your home. The bad has become good and the good bad. It seems as the good man is perished out of the earth. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! People marching and killing each other. they have no respect for law enforcement. They are all against our great President that wants to make America Great Again. There are gangsters in the land. Murders, rapists, people coming into our land with their evil gods. children rising up against their parents. As the natural so is the church. The church has gone astray like a lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. Eze:5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat. 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. (We need some fishers that are willing to leave their nets.
What are the nets they left behind? The nets are those old testament laws. John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately and that night they caught nothing.
John 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Micah 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. ( evil with both hands is a double portion. the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward. They want a reward for everything they do and call it the word of God. They are nothing but crooks. These have been rewarded evil for good. Paul in his writing of 1 Corinthians 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. This is so easy to see the gospel of Christ without charge. He said charging to preach the gospel would abuse his power in the gospel. What is this power?
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Micah 7:4... The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Both Micah 7:4 and Luke 21:25 are talking about perplexity (I thought the scripture that I am now fixing to post is very interesting.
Luke 21:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 And in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; ( I hope you can see This is showing signs upon the earth as much as it is spiritual. Look around the earth and we see this nearly daily. We have seen signs in the sun, and in the moon when we saw the eclipse and sea and the waves roaring. These hurricanes can be seen everywhere. People need to look around and look what you are seeing,
Only the spiritual can see the spiritual and the signs in the earth People in the church have no true watchman. He is as 1 Thess. 5:3 King James Bible For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape
Heb.-6:8- But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 2-Cor-12:7-And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. (Ok what these scriptures trying to tell us that old covenant was to be rejected or become a castaway. Those still under that old covenant will become a curse along with that O.T. covenant because they have rejected Jesus. 1John- 2:27- But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. [See he said it was the anointing. Now how many of you know what the anointing is? John goes on and explains that it is that which ye have received of him that abideth in you. Now tell me what that is? The Holy Ghost is what we received from him. Without the Holy Ghost as they received on the day of Pentecost you will never see that these briers and thorns were the law and 10 commandments.
Micah 7: 5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom ( You better be prepared when you start getting fruit on the tree. People in the church that you thought was a good friend will no longer be your friends. Once you come into the truth of the word, they do not want to have anything to do with you. They become impolite and mean-spirited persons. Yes, I saw this when I came out of the church. The guide ( pastor) that I had confidence in was leading me in the wrong way with his lying words. I was as Jeremiah 11:19 (KJV) 19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
(People you better be careful who your so-called guide is. When you begin to bring fruit on the tree they will do what they can to destroy the fruit tree. Once again as said above little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. The guide will send out the little foxes to do this for him. Little foxes are the members of a congregation or other churches. Genesis 36:19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. Jeremiah 9:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. ( The people under the law will do anything to try to destroy you. I know that I have never seen a church yet that is not under the law. They all are under the law covenant.
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house
( Is this not what Jesus said in Matthew 10:21 (KJV) 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. See there is a division in his own house. Even when I was in church, they had their little cliques everywhere.
Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. ( you are in a den of lions. your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. God has sent some true guides out to warn you to come out of the lion's den. Get out why you have a guide to lead the way. Get out while you can. The guide that you have now is blind. Blind leading the blind. they are blind leaders of the blind.
Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. ( people all these true guides are trying to do is rescue you and lead you to safety. They care about your welfare. This is their watch, God has set those guides upon the tower. They do not want your money or anything else. All are free. Also this is going on in the national. Another sign in the earth. We have the greatest guide ( Mr. Donald Trump) that America has ever had. He is accepting no money from the people. This is his watch and he wants to rescue America and make it great again. What is going on in the natural is going on in the spiritual. They all are against him. Same thing in the spiritual)
Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. ( Remember you are their enemy when you leave the church but the Lord shall be a light unto you. 1 John 1:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Micah 7:9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.( Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets..trodden down means put under the feet. Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his ( Jesus) feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God ( even thou you are now in a place of darkness and there is no light God will deliver you.
I thought this to be interesting. In vs 10 here it is calling your enemy she and her. The church is always called she or her. So this proves that the church is the enemy.
Micah 7:11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; ( church can you not see these ordinances and decrees was done away by Jesus Christ? Those old walls (OT law) were destroyed by Jesus and the apostles. The old Jerusalm is destroyed and new Jeresulem walls ( grace) are built. People are so blinded looking for a worldly kingdom. Their evil holidays along with lots of evil in the church they are blinded and they seem not to care about anything that is scriptural. In the day that thy walls are to be built Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Micah 7:12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. ( people needs to listen for this is the second call because he called in vs 11 he said " In the day" and here in vs 12 said " In that day"
KJV Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. ( here God is doing everything to try to get the people to come out of these evil places. Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Isaiah 13:9-11 (KJV) 9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Zephaniah 1:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee
Micah 7:13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. ( the land shall be desolate means it is deserted and empty because it is the fruit of their doing. Zechariah 1:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord. ( the Lord has warned the church so many times about their evil ways and doings but he said hey did not hear, nor hearken unto me
Lamentations 2:9 explains it this way...Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
Micah 7:14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. ( A true shepherd will feed his sheep with the true word of God. He will lead them in green pastures as Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
( What or who is the rod? Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod ( Jesus) out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: ( Jesus) and her child ( Jesus) was caught up unto God, and to his throne. ( which dwell solitarily in the wood meaning ... Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days ( yes the true guides are out here in the wilderness where a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Praise God. We only have a few that have separated from the church.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. ( people come out of her and be ye separate from her. Join us here in the wilderness and feed yourself in green pastures. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, Very fruitful places. Yes, this is the Promise land. This just reminded me that at one of the places where our President was he had a banner that read and I quote " PROMISE MADE, PROMISES KEPT" another sign in the land Thank you God for that.
Micah 7:15 (KJV)15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. ( Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told.
Exodus 3: 20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. ( Also another sign in the land. America was as the land of Egypt. But now our president is bringing us out and he is doing marvelllous and he is doing a work in our days that it is hard to believe. He is doing this in our mist. And no I am not worshipping our president. There are so many signs in the earth that I see here in this chapter that God is showing me that I will not be able to show them all. Once you see one you can see more, they just keep on coming.
Micah 7:16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. ( Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. They will be put to shame and be put to much confusion. Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev. 7:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee. ( this is what the churches are eating. They are eating serpents meat. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Genesis 3:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Isaiah 49:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. ( Psalm 103:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
And finally.... John 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Micah 7: 1 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. ( hear we see Micah is as they are. He went to gather the summer fruits as the grapegleanings of the vintage but there was no cluster to eat. The vine was not producing any fruit. The vintage is showing that Old Israel or law. God was dealing with the Old Israel and that Israel or law has been done away with. This is the church age, now. What he ( God) did to that law he will do the same to the church age. There is no one that would or will dress the vineyard or purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. There is no wine to drink. The fruit on the vine has become rotten by the church. Now, what is on the vine? These so-called men of God did not want to labor in the vineyard. The husbandman (pastor) left the vine with tender grapes and look what happened.
Song of Solomon 2:15 King James Version (KJV)

Foxes meaning. someone who gets what they want by deceit or cunning. A cunning person is willing to use subtlety. Now, who is this subtle person? None other than man Adam (serpent ) Yes. this goes back to Genesis 3 King James Version (KJV)
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. This tree is called, knowledge of good and evil (law). This is what the church is serving you today. This is what God said. In Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.. ......there is death in that evil tree. Yes, Adam was the serpent in the Garden that deceived Eve.
Mat. 21:18 Now in the morning as he ( Jesus ) returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever.

The church has allowed 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Hosea 9:10
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: ( That is showing Jesus and apostles on the day of Pentecost.

Isaiah 17:6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.

( I am going to take this to the natural first. Just look around and see how America has become. Look how our great nation has become. It is so dangerous to go out the door to your home. The bad has become good and the good bad. It seems as the good man is perished out of the earth. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. (We need some fishers that are willing to leave their nets.
What are the nets they left behind? The nets are those old testament laws. John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately and that night they caught nothing.
John 21:6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Micah 7:3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. ( evil with both hands is a double portion. the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward. They want a reward for everything they do and call it the word of God. They are nothing but crooks. These have been rewarded evil for good. Paul in his writing of 1 Corinthians 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. This is so easy to see the gospel of Christ without charge. He said charging to preach the gospel would abuse his power in the gospel. What is this power?
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Micah 7:4... The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Both Micah 7:4 and Luke 21:25 are talking about perplexity (I thought the scripture that I am now fixing to post is very interesting.
Luke 21:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 And in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; ( I hope you can see This is showing signs upon the earth as much as it is spiritual. Look around the earth and we see this nearly daily. We have seen signs in the sun, and in the moon when we saw the eclipse and sea and the waves roaring. These hurricanes can be seen everywhere. People need to look around and look what you are seeing,
Only the spiritual can see the spiritual and the signs in the earth People in the church have no true watchman. He is as 1 Thess. 5:3 King James Bible For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape
Heb.-6:8- But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 2-Cor-12:7-And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. (Ok what these scriptures trying to tell us that old covenant was to be rejected or become a castaway. Those still under that old covenant will become a curse along with that O.T. covenant because they have rejected Jesus. 1John- 2:27- But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. [See he said it was the anointing. Now how many of you know what the anointing is? John goes on and explains that it is that which ye have received of him that abideth in you. Now tell me what that is? The Holy Ghost is what we received from him. Without the Holy Ghost as they received on the day of Pentecost you will never see that these briers and thorns were the law and 10 commandments.
Micah 7: 5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom ( You better be prepared when you start getting fruit on the tree. People in the church that you thought was a good friend will no longer be your friends. Once you come into the truth of the word, they do not want to have anything to do with you. They become impolite and mean-spirited persons. Yes, I saw this when I came out of the church. The guide ( pastor) that I had confidence in was leading me in the wrong way with his lying words. I was as Jeremiah 11:19 (KJV) 19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
(People you better be careful who your so-called guide is. When you begin to bring fruit on the tree they will do what they can to destroy the fruit tree. Once again as said above little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. The guide will send out the little foxes to do this for him. Little foxes are the members of a congregation or other churches. Genesis 36:19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. Jeremiah 9:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. ( The people under the law will do anything to try to destroy you. I know that I have never seen a church yet that is not under the law. They all are under the law covenant.
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house
( Is this not what Jesus said in Matthew 10:21 (KJV) 21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. See there is a division in his own house. Even when I was in church, they had their little cliques everywhere.
Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. ( you are in a den of lions. your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. God has sent some true guides out to warn you to come out of the lion's den. Get out why you have a guide to lead the way. Get out while you can. The guide that you have now is blind. Blind leading the blind. they are blind leaders of the blind.
Micah 7:7 Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. ( people all these true guides are trying to do is rescue you and lead you to safety. They care about your welfare. This is their watch, God has set those guides upon the tower. They do not want your money or anything else. All are free. Also this is going on in the national. Another sign in the earth. We have the greatest guide ( Mr. Donald Trump) that America has ever had. He is accepting no money from the people. This is his watch and he wants to rescue America and make it great again. What is going on in the natural is going on in the spiritual. They all are against him. Same thing in the spiritual)
Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. ( Remember you are their enemy when you leave the church but the Lord shall be a light unto you. 1 John 1:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Micah 7:9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.( Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets..trodden down means put under the feet. Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his ( Jesus) feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God ( even thou you are now in a place of darkness and there is no light God will deliver you.
I thought this to be interesting. In vs 10 here it is calling your enemy she and her. The church is always called she or her. So this proves that the church is the enemy.
Micah 7:11 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; ( church can you not see these ordinances and decrees was done away by Jesus Christ? Those old walls (OT law) were destroyed by Jesus and the apostles. The old Jerusalm is destroyed and new Jeresulem walls ( grace) are built. People are so blinded looking for a worldly kingdom. Their evil holidays along with lots of evil in the church they are blinded and they seem not to care about anything that is scriptural. In the day that thy walls are to be built Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Micah 7:12 In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. ( people needs to listen for this is the second call because he called in vs 11 he said " In the day" and here in vs 12 said " In that day"
KJV Isaiah 11:11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. ( here God is doing everything to try to get the people to come out of these evil places. Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Isaiah 13:9-11 (KJV) 9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Zephaniah 1:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee
Micah 7:13 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. ( the land shall be desolate means it is deserted and empty because it is the fruit of their doing. Zechariah 1:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord. ( the Lord has warned the church so many times about their evil ways and doings but he said hey did not hear, nor hearken unto me
Lamentations 2:9 explains it this way...Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.
Micah 7:14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. ( A true shepherd will feed his sheep with the true word of God. He will lead them in green pastures as Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
( What or who is the rod? Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod ( Jesus) out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Rev 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: ( Jesus) and her child ( Jesus) was caught up unto God, and to his throne. ( which dwell solitarily in the wood meaning ... Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days ( yes the true guides are out here in the wilderness where a Branch shall grow out of his roots. Praise God. We only have a few that have separated from the church.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. ( people come out of her and be ye separate from her. Join us here in the wilderness and feed yourself in green pastures. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, Very fruitful places. Yes, this is the Promise land. This just reminded me that at one of the places where our President was he had a banner that read and I quote " PROMISE MADE, PROMISES KEPT" another sign in the land Thank you God for that.
Micah 7:15 (KJV)15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. ( Habakkuk 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told.
Exodus 3: 20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. ( Also another sign in the land. America was as the land of Egypt. But now our president is bringing us out and he is doing marvelllous and he is doing a work in our days that it is hard to believe. He is doing this in our mist. And no I am not worshipping our president. There are so many signs in the earth that I see here in this chapter that God is showing me that I will not be able to show them all. Once you see one you can see more, they just keep on coming.
Micah 7:16 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. ( Jude 1:16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. They will be put to shame and be put to much confusion. Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. Rev. 7:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee. ( this is what the churches are eating. They are eating serpents meat. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Genesis 3:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Isaiah 49:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. ( Psalm 103:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
And finally.... John 21:16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
