Wise Virgins — Milton Green

And then if you continue to walk and you don't get in on the blood, then the powers of darkness, he's in there getting more ground, and they get more ground until it chains and bondages and it starts building fortresses in you.

Deception Through a Form of Godliness and the Wise Virgins

And then the diseases come in until you're destroyed. And that's where a form of godliness has been leading us. That's where we've been being deceived. And right now, the Lord's calling out the wise virgins to come and get ready.

The Holy Bride and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Get ready to meet the bridegroom because he's coming after a holy, righteous, blameless bride. She's going to have a pure heart. And they say, well, I don't believe I want to come to the married supper of the lamb.

I've got this farm down here, Lord. Lord, I've got these oxen down here to take care of. Lord, I've got a family here to take care of. I don't want to have my heart warped. I don't want to sit there all that time and be bored by the word of God and eat that bread that come out of heaven because my heart's really interested in the world and the things of the world.

The Warning of Luke 14 and Tickle-Ear Teachers

Well, Luke 14 said that's all right. You'll never taste of the dinner. You just show up somewhere where they tickle your ears and be a good tither and help that God out you're following. But you're going to spend eternity in hell.

Receiving Blessing Through Wholehearted Love for God

Folks, I want you to know something. When we're talking about blessings and curses, we know what the curses are. Now, right now, God's trying to lead us into the blessings. And the way you receive the blessings is to love God and want to be like him.

Drawing Near to God and Resisting the Devil

Isn't that wonderful? And it's all grace. Faithful as he hath called you, and he'll bring it to pass. You say, well, how am I going to love the Lord with all my heart? You start drawing nearer, and he'll draw nearer to you.

You start submitting to the submitting to God and start resisting the devil, and you'll fall all over yourself. I still fall around myself. I'm working through it, too. And when I come to the place one of these days where I love the Lord with all my heart, my neighbors, myself, then I'll walk in here and I'll say, be like me.

The Pattern of the Church in Acts

That's what Paul did. And there are all kinds of patterns that get in partial truths and things like that, and they get a little more revelation, and they're gathering around a bunch of doctrines and traditions, and they say, now, this is the latest right now.

Here's the real church. And all of them want to be patterns, and I'm going to tell you where the pattern is. In the book of Acts, there's one heart and one mind. There's not one of them lacking in anything, because the ones who had soul of possession so that the ones who are in need were not lacking in nothing because they loved one another as themselves.

They knew going in what the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ was. And when anyone gathers around partial truth and leading in slogans and whatever today, and they say, this is it, we're the pattern, you look real closely.

If they don't love the Lord with all their heart and their neighbors or self, you can decide in your heart that that's not it. You're going away you've never been before. The ark is coming through. You're not going to touch it.

Following Christ as the Ark Into the Promised Land

You're not going to hash it. You're not going to rehash it. You better leave it alone. You better follow after it. That ark's the Lord Jesus Christ. It's going across the Jordan, and it's going into the promised land, and it'll lead you.

You will possess a land, and you're going to have rest from all your enemies, and you're going to be blessed everything you put your hands to, coming and going, and you will prosper, and you will prove that you love the Lord with all your heart.

Perfecting Love for God and Neighbor

And then with his gospel, Jesus, his Son, and his Spirit, he'll cleanse your heart as you're approving it, and he'll perfecting the love in you that loves your neighbors yourself.
