Prophecy 2 9 2007

Joel Akin

Faith is a key which opens doors

 What would it take to finish a story? What would happen if I told you that I was just a man trying to write a story? Now we speak of prophecy as an end time story. And the end time story is one of faith.

 Faith is a key which opens doors and doors are the key to open life. Now lets say you wanted to see a sign but the door has remained closed. You wait by the door day after day and pray for the door to open. Nothing happens. Does this mean you have failed?

 No. The answer to that is one of steam. Steam is the breath of life and like a hot pool it edifies the steam. Now the steam is the breath of our life. We are the heat on a cold day. We produce steam from our breath and we see it that way. We don’t think that it is steam and we don’t think of ourselves as being hot.

 Yet Jesus said he’d rather have us as hot or cold but if we were lookwarm he’d spew us out of his mouth. Who is lookwarm? Not us. We are human and we have temperatures of 98 degrees. That is enough to steam water and making it hot enough we want to turn it down.

 So if we are hot then who is cold? Death. But who eats death? Well, Jesus bore death for us and went to the grave. It was cold and lifeless there. He bore that. Yet it wasn’t those things which made it possible for us to get our answer. Those are just things that attract us away from an answer.

 Answers are what we want. We want signs to lead us directly to answers. We think asking God for signs is wrong but that isn’t true. Signs are there as a sign to us. If we ask for signs and they don’t come then we are on the path that doesn’t give out signs.

 That means we need a better path. So God takes us to a sign post and that is the cross and there God shows us the blood. When sin rises up in pain we can call on the blood. And the blood is the sign of faith.

 Now if the blood is the sign of faith then what is the sign to doors opening? That is the sign of blood also. Blood is the key to how Jesus fought Sin successfully. He had to overcome all evil and that included Sin. And he fought with success by trading blood for blood.

 Blood is the key to this story and by me writing it then I am trading blood for blood. Thus I get the blood of Christ for the blood of Sin. And Sin is the only spirit which is incapable of dealing with true blood.

 So the sign of this age is the blood of Christ. The blood is the sign we all need to answer prayer. It is the sign to greater rest. It is the sign to opening door after door after door.

 Now it isn’t a dumb think to ask “What do we do.” After all the blood of Christ is how we are meant to speak. And how we are meant to ask. And how we are meant to turn. After that its up to God. So think of it that way. For life is of God and he wants us to think that we are in His plan and His way and His Time. And those three things are critical for our survival. And thus the prophecy we speak is the blood of Christ is the life of our life. And we can have that blood by seeking God for understanding.
