§ little foxes ¶

 Greetings in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ to your brothers and sisters. 

Today is the 24th day of the month of January in the year of 2020 six according to the Gregorian calendar. 

 Firstly, I must apologize. 

 I speak very slowly as well as it's a short message. I had a massive attack of viral flu on Tuesday. 

  My throat almost became zero. I'm better now. Can speak.  I had to attend several board meetings and on Wednesday I couldn't properly conduct the board meeting as well. An important board meeting. My voice was not coming out.  

I think due to the some weather conditions that is prevailing across the country Sri Lanka, coming from India. Pollution resulted in this kind of viral attacks and almost I'm still not fully recovered. I would say about 60%. 

I'm managing to talk little bit but not fully there to give my full ability of speaking. 

So pardon with me, by God's grace what I will do today. Brothers and sisters, one thing is very clear. 

 This message has to go to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is the reason that I'm very determined even a little way to communicate. 

 That's the reason brothers and sisters therftte is no other way, otherwise I need to rest. Rest my vocal cords. 

But even in a short way the things are getting really really hot up. 

The world economic forum many people were I mean it's a l feel is a now a de facto organization almost replacing UN in a different frontier. More on the economic side. But all the global political leaders come there and make their communication. And in fact,f Donald Trump too was there and he gave a thundering speech.  Including ridiculing some other global leaders including the French president and the Canadian prime minister. 

 Now brothers and sisters, the world order is changing and Donald Trump is creating various conditions towards them. Whether he's ordered raid on Venezuela, capture of the Nicholas Maduro or the threatening to take over Greenland and on the sideline, peace talks with Russia, Ukraine war, Gaza stripped, all that is going on. But it's very clear. Today the whole Europe is absolutely weak. 

 Never been like this before, Europe in every frontier economically,  socially, politically, even technologically. 

So much of uncertainties prevails in Europe those days. People who are in the third  world countries like we are living in Sri Lanka and Indonesia we want want to (everyone) migrate Europe. 

Actually now it's much better here in this part of the world than in Europe Europe 

4:52 so brothers and sisters some of the Sri Lankans who are gone they Want to come back 

5:01 the world is changing rapidly Now even Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, which founded in 1971. Klaus Martin Schwab is a German mechanical engineer, economist, and founder of the World Economic Forum ( WEF). He served as the WEF's chairman from 1971 until his resignation in 2025. It successfully have conducted annually this kind of events, meetings. 

 Today Klaus Schwab and his wife, Hilde, is absent from the deliberations, leading discussions and even as the host.  Why? He been accused of financial mismanagement by a whistle blower.  So probably some investigation taking place and probably  many others would have asked him. Whatever it is brothers and sisters, I had a huge respect for him, mainly founding this WEF and many things he's doing on the philanthropic frontier, he and his wife. 

But you know all are human beings and this is a worldly people and you cannot expect too much of holy righteousness from them. 

And that's why brothers and sisters, these organizations and activities have their own agendas and the ends which are determined by their preferences lead into the countries. 

But whatever said and done, I must tell you brothers and sisters, we could have been never closer than this. 

The events that are taking place in the world when the Europe is weak and few others are becoming stronger. 

I see many countries like UK, Canada and even many Scandinavian countries are seeking the help from China. 

Just about couple of weeks ago, the British government approved the building of the largest the embassy of the Chinese government in London.   They've been going on for years and years.  Now, last two weeks got approved.

 And the role of Russia becoming stronger and stronger. So as you know brothers and sisters, in the midst of a weak European economy and political system, the China and Russia  has becoming stronger than ever. And in fact, Donald Trump is facilitating that process. 

 AlI this is a very clear indication what the things would unravel in the days ahead. 

Bible is so true. Every prophecy that is mentioned is now coming to pass. 

So once again, I want to remind you this message I'm bringing is only to the bride the Lord Jesus Christ. Not to the world. Not to the Christian world either. They will not fathom it within the time of the preparation the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ as I've been telling you brothers and sisters. Yes, we are living in Revelation 19, verses 7 and 8. 

The marriage of the Lamb is on. The bride, the wife is getting ready and to her is granted a garment of fine lined and clean and white, which is the righteousness of the saints. 

So in other words,  there's a living bride, living Bridegroom, living Word,  living spirit of God, living God, living bridegroom. Every second active. 

Also we are also living the fulfillment of the Revelation 21:7.  He that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God he will be a son or daughter. So it's the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ who is becoming overcomers. 

Not like sitting and going to churches and listening to some messages and dancing and speaking tongues and coming. 

We are living in the time where the true worshippers are worshiping the Father in spirit and truth. 

Brothers and sisters, we are talking about Enoch and his walk. And we have spoken several things and last week we talked about the anointed for resurrection, anointed for transfiguration that is for the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

 But this, today, I want to bring this aspect for you to understand something because we are in the midst of the fulfillment of the parable that the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned and that is Matthew 25. In Matthew 24, the Lord Jesus Christ disclosed all the events that would take place soon after his death and his destruction of the temple in A.D.70 and various events that would take place during the next seven churches, last two 2,000 years. 

 All that has happened and now are finishing.

 What is pending is which the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned in Matthew 24 verse 26, 28.  Now people are talking about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. When he would come?

But there's no question about that to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ as the chapter 5, the whole chapter mentioned very clearly, we are not the children of darkness knowing the night,  we are the children of the day and we understand things we see things God has shown to us. So we will not be taken by surprise. You know exactly. We will be at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, to receive the right things from God, the instructions. 

So in this moment in time, God has placed people like me across the whole world. Not only me, there may be thousands of them across the whole world. They don't belong to any Christian religion or denomination organization. 

 I, myself doesn't belong to any Christian organization denomination. 

 I'm a professionally commercial and retail and development bank global expert on financial inclusion, impact investor, social entrepreneur. I have my own financial institutions , so my professional revenue generation income from my professional engagement. 

So brothers and sisters,  in this moment, in time that God has raised. So they are communicating. 

They have no personal and vested interest. 

They're not backed by financial obligations and funding. They have the courage of their conviction. 

They present the truth because they can stand for the truth.  They can stand for the truth because truth is live in you in them and that they live in the truth. 

 What is going around in the Christian world is all entertainment man-made come to appease the fleshly desires of the people.  But this is not the case with the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now as Jesus mentioned about his coming is a lightning coming from the east. 

So one end to the other end as the earth orbit,   lightning represents the revelation of the mind of God. Disclosure of the truth. 

 Line upon line, precept upon precept, the mind of God will reveal right throughout from one end to the other end. Nothing left out from A to E, from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Everything will be revealed enlightening to the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

And the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ is represented as eagles.  What would be they doing? They are eating. 

They're not eating dead stuff. But living things. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ said. 

Unless you eat my flesh, referring to his Word, and drink my Blood, referring to the spirit of God. Jesus said the word that I speak they are spirit and life. The disciples when Jesus asked, will you reap or disciples said, Peter particularly, said, where can we go, you have the words of eternal life. 

 So brothers and sisters, you might have to pardon with me this kind of, you know, with great commitment. I want to make sure the message go across to you and you are waiting for it. 

So brothers and sisters, it's so clear now he said as a lightning from one end the other from the east to the west we read the (English) Bible from left to right but in the Hebrew language, the Bible is read from right to left.  But the words are read from left to right. Sentences are read from right to left. 

So brothers and sisters, one end to the other end.  A to Z,  Alpha and Omega. So we be very inclusive revelation of the mind of God. 

And when that happens, the bride, the Lord Jesus Christ represent as eagles,  they'Il be eating the living stuff. 

And that's what the Isaiah showcase in Isaiah chapter 40 and verse 31. 

 Isaiah chapter 40. Isaiah chapter 48. Yeah. Last verse 31. But they that wait upon the Lord.  Wait upon means in holy communion. 

 Not just waiting. Because he said to our church, "Behold, I stand and knock. If any man hear my voice, open the door,  I will sup with him, he with me." 

(Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20. )

   Communication, eating, continuous eating. 

They wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings. They can fly. But before they fly, they shall run. Before they run, they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. So brothers and sisters, they shall run. Before running, before flying, they need to run. Before running, they need to run. Before running, they need to walk. Walking they need to crawl. 

So brothers and sisters that's what they would be doing, waiting upon the Lord means digesting the the revelation of the mind of God what has been disclosed  because brothers and sisters, as Paul says, we are living in the first Thessalonians chapter 15 verse chapter 4 verse 15-21:14 The Lord himself shall descend first with a shout. Now that has taken place been happening in the last 70 years. The shout vigorously turning the hearts of the children ( gospel) back to the apostolic fathers' ( faith) totally completely disclosing the mind of God and the voice the five-fold ministry bringing all of us to the stature and the measure of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what he says in Ephesians chapter verse, He gives some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, some teachers for the perfecting of the saints. 

 These are not all everybody who call themselves teacher, pastor about. 

No, these are anointed men in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ headed by no other but the Lord Jesus Christ himself. 

The gift that God has given what he says for their task is perfecting of the saints. 

 Not healing the sick that Jesus did and thereafter he went to perfecting of the saints. That's why everybody left, nobody was there when he was speaking the truth. All left. All who came for miracles. 

 Now it's very clear here, perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, the work involved in that edifying of the body of Christ. Now continuously bring that edification to master the Christ likeness till we all come to the unity of faith means identical faith of the Lord Jesus Christ and the knowledge of the Son of God. 

 Identical knowledge of the revelation of the mind of God that the Lord Jesus Christ said he would also have, unto a perfect man, unto the measure and the stature and the fullness of Christ. 

That's why, brothers and sisters, we are living in the last parable where our shape and size matters. Our stature, our height, our depthness matters. 

God is looking at how we are coming to the stature and the measure of the Lord Jesus Christ as the bride of his.

Brothers and sisters,  I just want to help you to understand few things. 

 I will speak slowly because of the fact that I want to get the message across to you as much as possible. 

As l've been telling you, brothers and sisters, we are talking about Enoch. We are talking about his walk. You're talking about how he obtained grace of God at the age of 65, when Methuselah was born and how he walked 300 years until God found him completely perfect. Completely perfect for God to lift him out of that planet. That need to happen to you and me, too. 

Sometime you will say how? Brother, you, how can we be perfect? We are, of course, that's what the Holy Spirit is given. That's what the revelation of the mind of God. That's why as Paul says, Galatians chapter 2 verse 20,  I'm crucified with Christ. My old man. My crooked man. My deformed man. My ugly man. My sinful man. I'm crucified with Christ.  Nevertheless, I live, not I. Christ liveth in me.  The life now I live in the flesh.  I live by the faith. Faith of the Son of the living God. Identical faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

So brothers and sisters, it's very important in the light of that. As Enoch, he measured his call very well. 

He understood his call. He understood the journey. He understood the destination. 

 He understood the distance. 

So basically at the age of 65 years God's grace, mercy and love and compassion dawned upon me.  Do you know brothers and sisters the grace and the mercy and the compassion love of God comes  upon us not to just sit on a chair and say I'm born again born again. God is blessing me. God is blessing me. God is healing me and singing 

some throne can go off.  God's grace is upon only for the children of God. What to inherit a life that's it not anybody if the grace is not properly ex kind of you know exploit or explode properly you know Adam was given a longer period method also was given but they couldn't what only 300 years he completed that task the god of grace god's god's grace was not taken for granted.  Not taken for granted.  Ex took the maximum advantage as this name represents dedication. 

Dedication three things commitment, devotion, consecration. 

Secondly, his name means training, development and discipline. Finally, his name means initiative,    inauguration, the right decision all the time. Not reactive but proactive. 

So you could see the progress. the improvements. development that Enoch was making year after year, decade after decade, century after century. Three centuries he did perfectly and then got to. 

 So brothers and sisters, now in the light of that we see so much of things that are lacking. 

Now that is the reason the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned , after mentioning about the eagles he came to this parable of Matthew 25, the wise virgins and foolish virgins and they all slept. All the virgins left. They were all waiting for the bridegroom. 

But they all slept. Where? In the denominational doctrines and teachings from 1906 up until now, 120 years. 

 It is 120 people that was there on the upper room waiting for the the promise of the Father. 

Joseph Smale, and group of believers in Azusa state California service, he was convinced Jesus was again showing Himself alive. Bartleman also believed the outpouring present at the cottage was the result of a time of preparation through prayer. 

Opposition to the revival arose from newspaper reporters, denominational leaders and critics who did not like the emotional aspects of the meeting. A Los Angeles Times reporter described the meeting as "wild scenes" of a new "sect of fanatics". Seymour was maligned as "an old colored exhorter" who"acted as major-domo of the company" and hypnotized unbelievers with his "stony optic" eye. African-American women were described as "colored mammys" who gurgled "wordless talk in a frenzy of religious zeal". One "foreign-born reporter" who had come to the meeting to report on the "circus-like" revival left convinced of the authenticity of speaking in tongues. While he was there, an ignorant woman rose to her feet, looked at him, spoke in his native language and told him secrets only he could have known. Concerning persecution from the press, Bartleman wrote they "wrote us up shamefully". However, he never considered such persecution to be a threat to the revival.  

Denominational leaders who opposed the revival included Alma White, Phineas Bresee and A. B. Simpson. Alma White was the leader of Pillar of Fire, a Holiness denomination that specialized in the "holy dance"as evidence of sanctification. One of her disciples, Nettie Harwood, reported people at the mission were singing songs "in a far away tune that sounded very unnatural and repulsive". Other objections from Pillar of Fire concerned a report that an African-American woman had been seen praying report that an African-American woman had been seen praying for a Caucasian-American man with her arms around his neck 29 White wrote a polemic against the Pentecostal movement that was published in 1936. The work entitled Debmons and Tongues, represented early old-schoolv be Holiness criticism. In the polemic, White called speaking in tongues "satanic gibberish"and Pentecostal services "the climax of demon worship". Alma White was a racist and a Klu Klux Klan Sympathizer. Bartleman called Alma White, the revivabl's "bitterest critic".

Phineas Bresee placed Church of the Nazarene in direct opposition to the Azusa Street revival. He considered it a threat to his own congregation. Church of the Nazarene became a stronghold of anti-Pentecostal thought. 

A. B. Simpson rejected the doctrine that all speak with tongues as evidence of Holy Ghost baptism. After a May 1907 revival in Nyack, New York at Missionary Training Institute, many students and faculty members began to speak in tongues. Simpson then decided tongues were only "one of the evidences" of Holy Ghost indwelling. Tongues were then allowed in Christian Missionary Alliance services, but they were not encouraged.

One critic of the emotional aspects of the revival was Charles Fox Parham. Reports had come to Parham about "stunts common in old camp meetings among colored folks" being performed in the revival and "white people were imitating
