Teaching
FOCUS ON GOD’S GOODNESS
Luke 11:34-36 NKJV
The lamp of the body is the eye.
Therefore, when your eye is
good, your whole body also is full of light.
But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of
darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is
in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full
of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be
full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp
gives you light."
This week I had a stirring Word about Who God is and
then a warning from the Lord to keep our focus on His
goodness and not on the increasing darkness in the
world. Today I received an email from a person who had
a dream about destruction and wanted to post it. I am
well aware that without God’s intervention, our world
and nation(s) are ready to fall over the cliff and that
the world suffers increasing tribulations. Our hope and
help is in God and repenting of our wicked ways, being
separate from the world’s carnality and then God will
heal our land(s).
When writing posts, I try to keep them aligned with the
purpose of the ministry at the QW. I am commissioned to
model how God speaks to His people, and in the process
of doing that, it also happens to be prophetic and
helpful. Yes the world grows darker, but those who know
the Lord shall arise in His glory. It is a matter of
perspective and what one is feeding upon and Who we
think God is.
Sometimes people submit posts that are not aligned to
support the purpose of the forum. Or sometimes people
post things that are outside of my metron to discern or
back as authentic prophesy. It is not that I judged
them as demonic, but sometimes I feel it is outside of
my metron to make the decision and so I dont approve the
post since I am accountable to what goes on at the QW.
My last name is WARNer. I do give warnings, but when I
do they are based upon the true nature and character of
God’s goodness and love, not wrath, anger and
destruction. Jesus came to give abundant life, not to
kill.
I know a prodigal whose faith is like the tiny mustard
seed, daily struggling with wavering, doubt and fear.
He spends much time scouring the internet for
information on bad destructive prophesies and subjects
that breed fear. This person is afraid to die because
of so much doubt about salvation. The bottom line is
that what we eat nurtures our fruit. After much
compassionate prayer and seeking the Lord over this
person’s faith vs fear struggles, the Lord gave me the
following rhema.
RHEMA 7/23/07 WARNING: WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS?
HEARD: Strength training. Balance.
PIX: I saw the head of a pencil balancing on
its tip on the tip of my prophetic finger.
[Lord what do You want me to do about {name}?]
HEARD: Help him find answers he is looking
for in scripture. I’m afraid I’m going to miss it.
Graduate student. Cigarette. [cigarettes represent
carnality.] Courage. We have our outside prayer and
inside prayer going up. I want you to listen. Tell
them:
OPENED EARS: After the phrase, “Tell them”,
immediately I heard a door bell ring. It was somewhat
alarming to my ears to hear it.
HEARD: Tell them if My people. What are you
looking at? Shelter.
VISION: I was in some kind of a school and saw
a large auditorium with 2 grand pianos. It was a place
of intercession where people prayed. Then I saw a
remnant of intercessors and prophets who had left their
places of prayer and were in a small storage building
and their focus was on surviving during a very dark and
demonic time. I could hear their conversations that
were a dark focus. I could see that the more they spoke
on those things, their faith was growing weaker and
their words were actually feeding and drawing hordes of
dark creatures to gather around the building. The more
they spoke of their fears, the more hideous creatures
germinated and gathered.
Isa 60:2-5 KJV
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and
gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon
thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the
Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round
about, and see: all they gather themselves together,
they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy
daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt
see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and
be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be
converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall
come unto thee.
WORD TO PONDER: WHO DO YOU SAY I AM? 7/23/07
When I labored and created the earth, I looked over
everything that I made and saw that it was very GOOD. I
also gave gifts of creativity so that mankind could
understand that what is created comes out of the heart
of the person creating. The creation is a message that
in someway represents the person behind it. What I
created was GOOD, because I AM GOOD.
Live in such a way that men will see your GOOD works and
glorify Me, for a GOOD man will bring forth GOOD things
from the GOOD treasure stored in his heart. When I
walked the earth, I went about doing GOOD and healing
all who were oppressed by the devil. I give GOOD gifts
to My children and I do not change; I AM GOOD. Every
GOOD and perfect gift comes from Me. I AM and always
will be, the GOOD Shepherd.
Remove your focus off the devil. Overcome evil with
GOOD. Abhor evil and cling to GOOD. Never repay evil
with evil. But instead pursue GOOD. If you want to see
GOOD days, refrain from speaking evil. Turn away from
evil and do GOOD. Beloved, all in the world is very
simple. You have only 2 choices: GOOD or evil, coming
from the kingdoms of light or darkness. You need to
make your choice and stick to it until the end, knowing
Who I AM and Who keeps you. Separate and discern what
you are listening to. You need to separate the mixture
and choose the GOOD part. A GOOD report makes My body
healthy for I know the plans I have for you, to give you
a future and a hope.
Ex 33:12,13,18,19, 34:5-7 NKJV
Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me,
'Bring up this people.' But You have not let me know
whom You
will send with me. Yet You have said, 'I know you by
name, and you have also found grace in My sight.' 13 Now
therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight,
show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may
find grace in Your sight... 18 And he said, "Please,
show me Your glory." 19 Then He said, "I will make all
My GOODness pass before you, and I will proclaim the
name of the LORD before you. ... 34:5 Now the LORD
descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and
proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed
before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God,
merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in
GOODness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no
means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children and the children's children to
the third and the fourth generation."

GOD TOLD MOSES WHO HE IS
Ex 33:12,13,18,19, 34:5-7 NKJV
Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me,
'Bring up this people.' But You have not let me know
whom You
will send with me. Yet You have said, 'I know you by
name, and you have also found grace in My sight.' 13 Now
therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight,
show me now Your way, that I may know You and
that I may find grace in Your sight... 18 And he said,
"Please, show me Your glory." 19 Then He said, "I
will make all My GOODness pass before you, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before you. ... 34:5
Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the
LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the
LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and
abounding in GOODness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children and the children's
children to the third and the fourth generation."
Gen 1:31 NKJV
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed
it was very GOOD.
Luke 18:18-20 NKJV
Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "GOOD Teacher,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" So Jesus said
to him, "Why do you call Me GOOD ? No one is GOOD but
One, that is, God.
Luke 11:11-13 NKJV
If a son asks for bread from any father among you,
will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will
he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he
asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If
you then, being evil, know how to give GOOD gifts to
your children, how much more will your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
James 1:17-18 NKJV
Every GOOD
gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes
down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He
brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be
a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

THE ASSIGNMENT OF JESUS
John 17:4-6 NKJV
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished
the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O
Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the
glory which I had with You before the world was. "I
have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given
Me out of the world.
John 17:6 AMP
I have manifested Your Name [I have
revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people
whom You have given Me out of the world.
WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT THAT HE MANIFEST GOD’S NAME?
BECAUSE BACK IN THE CONVERSATION WITH MOSES, GOD SAID NO
MAN CAN SEE THE FATHER AND LIVE.
John 14:6-11 NKJV
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My
Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen
Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and it is sufficient for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long,
and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has
seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show
us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in
the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak
to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the
Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me
that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else
believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. If you
had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and
from now on you know Him and have seen Him."

WHO DID JESUS SAY HE WAS
John 10:10-16 NKJV
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy. I have come that they may have life ,
and that they may have it more abundantly. I am
the GOOD
shepherd. The
GOOD
shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling,
he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the
sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and
flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters
them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and
does not care about the sheep. I am the
GOOD
shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I
lay down My life for the sheep.
Acts 10:38-39 NKJV
... how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Spirit and with power, who went about doing
GOOD and
healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was
with Him.
=======
WHERE IS OUR FOCUS?
Luke 11:34-36 NKJV
The lamp of the body is the eye.
Therefore, when your eye is
GOOD, your whole body also is full of light.
But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of
darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which
is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body
is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body
will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a
lamp gives you light."
3 John 11 NKJV
Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is
GOOD. He who does
GOOD is
of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
Rom 12:9-10 NKJV
Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is
GOOD.
Phil 4:8-9 NKJV
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever
things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever
things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever
things are of GOOD report, if there is any virtue and if
there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these
things.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH EVIL?

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
GOOD.

GOOD
things in the sight of all men.

always pursue what is
GOOD both
for yourselves and for all.
Heb 5:14 NKJV

that is, those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both
GOOD and
evil .
Heb 5:14 AMP
But solid food is for full-grown men, for those
whose senses and mental faculties are trained by
practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is
morally GOOD and noble and what is evil and contrary
either to divine or human law.
=======
SPEAKING GOOD REPORTS
Matt 12:35-37 NKJV
A GOOD
man out of the
GOOD treasure of his heart brings forth GOOD
things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings
forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle
word men may speak, they will give account of it in the
day of judgment. For by your words you will be
justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
Prov 15:30 NKJV
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a
GOOD
report makes the bones healthy.
Ps 27:13 NKJV
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I
would see the GOODness of the LORD in the land of the
living.
1 Peter 3:10-11 NKJV
He who would love life and see GOOD days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away
from evil and do
GOOD;
Jer 29:10-12 NLT
For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD.
"They are plans for
GOOD and
not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
ANNA’S COMMENT:
This is totally God! It is written so very well.
SANDY:
Yes how I received it was SO precious. I decided to
create some large posters for the guest room knowing my
grandchildren will lay in bed and read them and ponder
them. So I thought a long time and prayed about what is
the bottom line messages I would want to impart to them.
The first one was this message, Who God is: God is
GOOD. That is when the scriptures came alive and the
whole thing came together in my heart as revelation. It
has revolutionized my perceptions and understandings of
even why His wrath will destroy evil. It is because He
loves His kids SO much and wants nothing evil to touch
them or harm them. And because He is GOOD and wants
nothing that is not good to coexist with Him. |
