THE PLAGUE OF THE MOUTH
Spiritually God has been telling us to cover our mouth, when we cannot declare His statutes or covenant as He sees them: we have all been wicked. Psalm 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? We corruptible mortals love to quote the words of an incorruptible immortal God words. When we do not know spiritually what a scripture is saying, we should hold our peace: then we would be our wisdom. Job 12:16 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. Psalms 91:10 there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Greetings. The word plague is found over a hundred times in the Bible and as always what does plague mean to God. With this coronavirus herd stampeding topic on most people mind these nights: night because spiritually we are all in darkness. Psalm 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness. We know not nor understand the spiritual meaning of any of the scriptures, but we all love to quote them. As kids we may have sang the following song: Ring around the Rosie pocket full of Posey, Ashes, Ashes all fall down. Now when you fall down, you are supposed to stay down because you now all playing dead. Posies are flowers which could save you from the Black Plague that struck London England in the year 1655. Some experts [ whoever they be] say the rosie ring was associated with rosy skin rash from the Pneumonic Plague. The rose pellets and ashes you put on your person would save you for the plague. I am about to take a break from writing this letter to go out and buy as much toilet paper and bleach as I can: or better still go to my florist, to get some Posey. Spiritually we are already plagued or cursed and should not be shocked that the plague has manifested into something physical. When we cannot confirm the meaning of scriptures because we want see them our way, we are cursed. Deuteronmy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law and do them. The Bible is God's book of His Laws, when we interpret it our way: we make it sin. Exodus 32:35And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. Since our physical time conflicts with God’s time and we are in a rush to be spiritually rich, we don’t wait on the Holy Ghost to reveal the hidden meaning to His word. The sad fact is that millions have no idea that God’s word is hidden from their mortal understanding, which means we are lost and in spiritual darkness. 2 Corinthians 4:3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. God’s word is written in a Spiritual language unknown to our carnal mind and we have not taken the time to search out these things. Exodus 32:1And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. The Prophet Moses was coming down from the mountain with two tablets of stone or the Law and this Law represent the carnal commandments. Notice the tablets were made of stone or the spiritual condition of men hearts. Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new Spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. The leading causes of death in the United States is Heart disease. The carnal commandments or the Law of sin and death is what the natural man sees when he reads the Bible: no Holy Ghost needed. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Our carnal thoughts create a law we can worship in, this is the modern Churches own golden calf. The golden calf Aaron made was of gold, gold represents wisdom in the Bible, and we worship our own wisdom about the Bible and call it God. Proverbs16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Notice it says in Exodus 32:35 : because they made the calf, which Aaron made. The plagues in this physical country has little to do with what Christian have judged sin to be. Proverbs 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin. Our own vile mouth has taken the Lord’s name in vain; this has nothing to do with modern day curse words or slang. Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.Psalms_119:113 SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts. None of us are called to judge the Bible, but we all do at first. Job_11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. Has anybody ever called you an Ass! Jesus never judged the Bible but spoke what the father spoke because they were one. John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. We cannot be God's people when we judge the Bible by our own witness or wisdom. 2 Chronicles 7:14if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. This verse as to all verses judges us, it says my people called by my name. So -called Christian are called by another name or another wisdom which is not God’s name. John 5:43I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. The another we will receive we be our own person or witness to His words: IT WILL NOT BE RESPECTED. Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. We all come in our own wisdom or name concerning the scripture and other carnal minded people will receive their own. This happens in millions of Churches across the United States on any given Sunday. Now dealing with the word humble, our own pride is hiding from us, thus we imagine we are very humble, nobody is and few people ever hear what God’s Spirit is saying. Psalm 34:2My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. When we are hearing from heaven: we are no longer making our own thoughts the thoughts of God. Proverbs 24:9The thought of foolishness is sin. When we refuse to cease from our own wisdom about the Bible and God’s character, we are in iniquity or self-righteous. Job 6:30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? Iniquity is the perverse words coming out of our own mouth against God’s word. We must be been taught how to separate or discern our thoughts from God's thoughts. Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. In a physical world where Christians had a brain to think; we should be asking the question: if we have so much of God why are these plagues happening to all around us? Judges 6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? Now the self righteous will claim Psalm 91 as their protection and it will not work unless we are already in a secret place. Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Men have dwell in a world of darkness of their own carnal mind making and called it light, by seeing the Bible with an evil eye. Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Now the verse speaks of God's secret place and man has not been able to find it because he fears his own thoughts about the Bible and God has not showed him His covenant! Psalms_25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. What about faith? We haven’t any if God has never reveal to you His covenant and we have walked by sight: being what the mortal man sees when he reads the Bible; faith has nothing to do with obtaining the physical but faith is seeing God's word as he sees it. Then what about the second coming? Well if we think It is physical we have already missed it! The 2nd coming is when you see God’s word the second time without putting our own vain thoughts[sin] on it. Hebrew 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

My cable went out the other day, something about it could not get a clear signal. I wonder what cable company NASA used to send a signal to Mars to control their helicopter. Point being we believed everything man tells us, yet they provide no proof has to how their experiment work. We have no proof that God is with us only what we have imagined about His character.
