I Am A Dead Man, A Teacher Of Truth.

I am a Dead Man, a Teacher of Truth. HHM Pastor Jim Parisi March 30, 2003

The Lord is calling the members of His Church Today including Harvest House to reach out into the community and become teachers of the word.

Firming up the walls of understanding that has been neglected for so long.

Left to disrepair and Disarray.

Today’s Church being raised form once the ashes of bargain basement Christianity and is now being fired up with a new love ….

Expressing and extracting, seeking PURE truth from His Holy Word.

We are being called in these last days to raise up a church, like so many others…. first a church of prayer,

and then a people seated in this new church given to the Word of God.

FOR TOO long has the Word of God been compromised for the benefit of mankind.

Man has twisted and bent it’s meaning to justify his own sin.

We are being set forth being called to action to co labor in bring in a Harvest of souls just starting out on their Journey with the Lord.

Where they may have been once confused and alone in their quest for understanding,

Now having guides helping them along to secure a good foundation, to build their faith upon.

How do we do this? It looks again like a big and overwhelming undertaking for this small group of travelers always seeking new adventures in the Lord.

But God has used this body to complete mighty things in the past…

Undertakings executed with such precision and excellence that in the natural eye of man was confused by the finesse in which it was completed.

A true testimony to the Lord that only He could of done this work.

First we must be upright and wise in our approach to this new ministry move ahead.

Whether in a Classroom or in a supermarket we are called to express Gods truths to others. Preaching and teaching His word….

There is a season for what we are about to undertake…

And a plan in Gods own heart for the direction we are going to travel.

We are to tape into His divine understanding…

And for us to be ever so careful not to ever draw undo attention to ourselves,

But always lifting up the hearts of others to recognize that all wisdom and blessings are of the Father.

Continually lifting up the Name of Jesus in their Hearts.

The recipe for this detonation is easy.

A heaping measure of the truth in the word

Which needs to be balanced with the wisdom of the Gods Holy Spirit.

And a willing heart to deliver it .

Sufficient amounts of each added properly to this delicate mixture eventually become an additive resource to planted into their lives

Something so wonderful that things will start to blossom and bloom.

Called by Him to proclaim the truth in this earth.

To co labor in the process of freeing a lost and dying souls in this world.

We are to be teachers always continually looking upon the Father and giving Him all the Honor and Glory.

Ecclesiastes 12: 8- 14 NLT

8 "All is meaningless," says the Teacher, "utterly meaningless." 9 Because the Teacher was wise, he taught the people everything he knew. He collected proverbs and classified them. 10 Indeed, the Teacher taught the plain truth, and he did so in an interesting way. 11 A wise teacher’s words spur students to action and emphasize important truths. The collected sayings of the wise are like guidance from a shepherd. 12 But, my child, be warned: There is no end of opinions ready to be expressed. Studying them can go on forever and become very exhausting! 13 Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person. 14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.

VS 9 Because the Teacher was wise, he taught the people everything he knew. He collected proverbs and classified them.

COM 12:9 Taught - As God gives a man this wisdom, so that he might be a teacher of others.

LUKE 12:48 For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required;

We are to give ourselves for Gods work.

Not to utter whatever comes into our mind,

But seriously considering both the Lords Spirit and words.

VS 10 Indeed, the Teacher taught the plain truth, and he did so in an interesting way

Com 10 it’s honorable to teach the plain truth of this Gospel.

Not trying to draw attention to yourself or confuse the listener.

– This will comfort and profit the readers.

Ro 12:2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
