The Stone Fence of Israel
 
shared by Suzin McNeill


WORD OF THE LORD

There is a fence between My people, Israel, and I. It is a stone fence, stacked high, with hard, mortared seams. The stones are stacked precept upon precept, deed upon deed, and word upon word. Many of My called ones see the fence daily and never stop to examine or to question, just how it got there. They simply accept the fence, like it has always been there.

They walk around the fence like any other obstacle in their path. They count not the extra steps that they think to take in their service to the fence. The fence is there within My body, My churches, and My people, and they choose not to see it, or disturb it, or even to question it's origin or it's existence because they are used to having the fence, and they are used to walking around it. The fence has become as their traditions of service, and they willingly serve it.

The fence has become a division between My people and I, and they love to have it there, because they are accustomed to it. The fence is there dividing, one side being ripe with spiritual harvest, and the other side being desolate, perishing for the absence of meat in The Word. My people have long passed the age of accountability, and they are still being nursed, and bottle fed like babes. They choose as adults, to continually walk around the fence, sucking their lukewarm milk bottles of  traditions, because they love the praise of men, and because they love the comforts of their own manmade traditions over Me, says The LORD.

They are perishing by their own lack of knowledge, not because I, The LORD withheld from them, but because they willfully rejected the ones I sent to them with food and meat to strengthen both their bodies and their spirits. They have refused instruction, and rejected knowledge. Thinking themselves greatly spiritual, and thinking themselves most knowledgeable, they even refused the teacher, The Holy Spirit, choosing the degrees of men, over submission and separation unto holiness with Me. They know ME not, yet, they call LORD, LORD, and say that I said, when I have not spoken to them.

Large boulders of spiritual pride are strategically placed at the pulpits where flesh is served. Large boulders engraved with the names of men and women are the cornerstones of the fence. Large boulders commemorating the financial gifts of men and women are displayed in the fence near the front halls, and doorways. Boulders of recognition for works, are polished for the famous and the well-known community workers. The works of flesh can easily be seen woven within the mortar of the fence.

Line upon line, word upon word, precept upon precept, deed upon deed, the fence is built and served, by those who say they love Me. They serve their services and love them. They call LORD, LORD. Day by day the stones of their words and deeds pile up. Daily, the mortar hardens strengthening the fence. The stones of deeds and words are added to the fence daily. Soon the fence will extend far beyond the confines of their building, and they see it not, but, they will continue to walk around it, because it is "their fence", and "their service," and they love to serve it, because they receive the approval of men as their rewards.

They call LORD, LORD, and even ask Me to help them make their services unto themselves prosperous, because they love to serve it, and they keep adding deeds of stone and deeds of flesh while proclaiming that they are serving Me. They fear Me not, and they have not known My name or My ways. I have called unto them, and they have heard Me calling. They have resisted Me, refusing to repent, while hoping that I, The LORD neither see their actions or hear their words. They know their sins. It is them, that refused to hear Me. It is them, within My sanctuary, and them, that stand behind their pulpit without hearing Me, that I will remove from My churches, first. They know Me not, yet they call Father, Father. They make soundings like the noise of the brute.

My eyes run down with rivers of tears concerning the lost and the slain of My people. Lambs are slain by evil deeds and evil words, and their bones are secretly hidden between the stones and mortar. The poor are slain, because there are no sizable exactions from them. Holy ones are slain because they see the fence and try to expose it, and tear it down. Hidden sins and hidden devices help to strengthen the fence. The fence grows stone upon stone, deed upon deed.

Shall I, THE LORD not visit the builders of the fence which separates Me from My people? Where is the temple built in My name? Where have My people sought Me, to serve Me? They have served complacency and their traditions more than Me, saith The LORD. The fence exists within the hearts and services of My people. The fence exists. I see it now. It is the rock hard hearts of the ones who only say they love Me, while denying My Holy Spirit, and My voice. The fence exists. It is made of the petrified hearts of My people, who deny Me, choosing to walk freely in the world, rather than being led by MY HOLY SPIRIT. The fence exists, and it is made from the bones of slain lambs, and the petrified hearts of My people, who refuse to obey Me, and deny Me.

Repent of both thy words and thy deeds, against the members of the body of JESUS CHRIST. Repent swiftly, and confess your sins, for at the time of HIS calling, judgment shall arise, even in thy sanctuaries.

Prepare to meet thy GOD, O' Israel,
says, The HOLY ONE, your REDEEMER.

on Mine arm shall they trust.

6) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but My salvation shall be for ever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished.

7) Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Psalm 141
1) LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when
I cry unto thee.

3) Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4) Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity:
and let me not eat of their dainties. (deeds)
