========================
--- begin ---

Greetings Brethren,
I have been meditating and waiting on the Lord, as to what I should write unto you. I believe the Lord would have me to further speak of the Only Foundation a Christian can rest their soul on, which is the Written Word, known as the Scriptures.

For only out of the Written Word can come the True Revelation of Jesus Christ. Only by the Scriptures of the prophets, is the Mighty God Revealed. Only by the Word of Truth, can you recognize your day and hour.

There is no other book or books that can be considered the Written Word. No other literature which has ever been written, can be called the Scriptures of Truth. For there is only One Book which is the Book of God, even as there is only One God. We call this Book, The Bible.

The Motive of this letter is as follows:

I John 2:26; These things have I Written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

II Cor. 11:3; But I fear, lest by any means, as the Serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

The Objective of this letter is as follows:

II Cor. 3:3; Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, Written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

The only way a person can be a Written Epistle of Christ, is to have that Written Word of Christ manifesting in their lives. And that Written Word that is being manifested, will be the Word of the hour; not of some past hour, some other day, some other season. It will be the Word of this Season, this Day, this Hour.

Can a minister of the Word produce the Word of the hour in the people? No! Only by the Spirit of God coming upon His Word, and Quickening to Life His people of that hour, can we see the Word of the Hour being Manifested. Then you shall know them by their fruits, in that hour. I Cor. 3:5-9

So a minister Plants and Waters with the Word of God, waiting for the Spirit of God, to Quicken it to Life, and so produce the Harvest of that hour.

Questions.......

The very first time we see Jesus revealed in Scripture doing something, He is 12 years old. We find Him asking Questions, and answering Questions with religious men in the temple of God. Herein is a Secret, and he that is wise shall understand.

Luke 2:46,47 And it came to pass, that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

Solomon, one of the wisest men born on this earth, was sought after because of his wisdom. He left us with the Great Book of Proverbs and the Book of Ecclesiastes. In these Books can be found the pure essence of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding. Proverbs is my favorite Book of the Bible. For me they Unfold the Mysteries of Life, and are a Lamp unto my feet.

Solomon had a visitor one time by the name of, the Queen of Sheba. She wanted to drink of pure wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. She had heard that this could be found in the King of Israel, so she went to see if this was true. She found it was true by the Questions she asked. Questions of which, Solomon answered every one. Do you think they was silly questions? Or questions of Life? Here again we see Questions and Answers being exchanged, and the wisdom and knowledge of God being increased.

1Kings 10:1, And when the queen so Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions. v. 2, ...and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. v.3, And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. v.8, Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

Jesus, speaking to His disciples told them how blessed they was for hearing and seeing the things that was being revealed in that hour. The wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that was going forth, was a mighty blessing to those who could hear and see.

There was Questions being asked, and Answers being given. The greater the question, the greater the answer. He that hath, shall more be given. And there can't be a question without an answer.

Matt 13:16,17; But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

************
Now we come to a different kind of Question.

There are Questions of Light, and Questions of Darkness. The Light is to See, the Darkness is to Blind. One brings Life, the other brings Death. One upholds Truth, the other upholds Lies.

The first Question of Darkness came by the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. The pattern holds, and is constant, to this day. Beware, and take heed, for the Devil uses this method to kill and destroy. His ministers of Darkness are taught in this method as well.

Gen. 3:1, Now the Serpent was more Subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said.....

Matt 4: 1, Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. v.2 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If.....

Matt 4: 6, And saith unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written.....

Matt 22:15, Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out unto Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying.....

Matt 22: 23, The same day came to Him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked Him.....

Matt 22:34,35, But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying.....

1Tim. 6:4,5; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the Truth,

You see, their questions are not meant to bring forth the Light of Wisdom, but to hide themselves in the Darkness false doctrines. These Seek not Truth and Enlightenment, but to pervert and corrupt, Truth and Enlightenment. These use the Scriptures to kill and destroy, not to bring Life and Light.

But what saith the Scriptures of these children of darkness?

Matt 22:9; Jesus answered and said unto them, [the Sadducees]Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the Power of God.

Matt 23:13; But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
v.15, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
v.24, Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
v.27, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. v.28, Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
v.33,Ye Serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

For the Light shines in the darkness; but the darkness comprehends it not. John 1:5

************
So we have two kinds of Questions: questions of Life and questions of Death. But both types of Questions are using the Scriptures as the source of the Question.

One brings you to the Word of Life, the other away from the Word of Life. One searches for the Path of the Strait and Narrow, which leads to Life; the other leads you to the Wide and Broad path, which leads to destruction. Matt 7:13,14

One upholds the Scriptures in Truth, which brings Life. The other perverts the Word by deception and lies, which brings Death. One uses the Scriptures with the correct revelation and meaning of that Scripture. The other uses the Scriptures with a false revelation and meaning, called traditions creeds and dogmas, Iniquity.

Let us then consider the Scriptures, that which is Written. Understand that it is the Answer to the Question. Behold the Power and the Strength of the Word, nothing created in heaven or earth can stop its fulfillment. Perceive that what is Written, Must and Will Happen, that this is the Course of the River of Life. O' Brethren, grasp the importance of the Written Word, for it is Your Life, Your Strength, Your Hope!

************
The Word of God is Sacred! If you add to the Revelation or take away from the Revelation, you will be Judged! You must Live and be a part of the Revelation of the Hour, that Word being Fulfilled, that gives Life, to have Life.

Rev. 22:18,19; For I testify unto every man that heareth the Words of the prophecy of This Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto Him the plagues that are Written in This Book: And if any man shall take away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of The Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are Written in This Book.

************
There has to be something that All Man shall be Judged by, Equally. There cannot be different standards of Judgment, for there is One Law by One Lawgiver. And there is One Judge who shall Judge is all. The Lord God has chosen to use the Scriptures, the Written Word, to Judge all mankind. There will not be different denominational standards to be judged by, including the Message Church standards.
[Exodus 12:49; Lev.24:22; Rom.2:12-16; James 4:12; Rom 14:10-12; II Cor.5:10,11]

************
I pray this word of exhortation brings forth Faith in your heart, to give you the Power and Strength you need in this evil day.

For it is Written.... Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Rom 10:17

May the Power of Revelation be yours,
Paul McAroy

Ecclesiastes 2:10,11; The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of Truth. The Words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from One Shepherd.

Ps. In the next letter Lord willing, I shall answer some questions that I have received.

Voice of a Watchman
Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will Enquire, enquire ye: return, come.  Isa 21:11,12 

Re 1:5 Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten Of The Dead, and the Prince Of The kings Of The Earth. Unto Him that Loved us, and Washed us from our Sins In HIS OWN BLOOD,
Php 2:9-11 God also hath Highly Exalted Him, and Given Him A Name which is Above Every Name: That at the Name OF Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that Every Tongue Should Confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord, to The Glory Of God The Father.
Ac 4:11,12 This is the STONE which was set at nought of You Builders, which is become the HEAD OF THE CORNER. Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is None Other Name under heaven Given Among Men, whereby WE MUST BE SAVED.
