A Heart Like David: Terry Bennett

https://www.messengersofshiloh.com/a-most-important-release/

The Holy Spirit led me to Terry Bennett's website this evening, and I read this heartfelt message by Terry. I admire his humble attitude, and agree so much with the reason why he no longer posts prophetic words..I too want to magnify my Lord Jesus Christ above all else... robin b

The Door

Robin's heart: If you are like me, you are filled with questions in regard to the Kingdom of God. Some of my questions stem from curiosity while others are questions that come from a basic lack of understanding. One question that I have had on my mind for a very long time was answered upon awakening this morning. I'm so excited to share it with you! The Lord has taught me to put Him first upon awakening. Before I jump out of bed to start my day, I'm trained to tune into Him first thing. I have learned that He talks to us while we sleep, and if we are paying attention He will bring those things to our memory sometimes. Well today He spoke in a marvelous way!

So first I will give you the scriptures in regard to what the Holy Spirit is revealing to us. Please take the time to carefully read them because they are so important to help understanding.

John 10:1-10 Most assuredly, Jesus says to us, "he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers." Jesus used this illustration, but they like us did not understand the things which He spoke to them. Then Jesus said to them again. "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the Door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

I have read this passage of scripture many times. Today, the Holy Spirit revealed it in a new way. I will not waste time in explaining how my mind had interpreted it in the past. I will just go ahead, with the Helpers help, and explain what He wants us to know today.

First: The questions I have had on my mind for a very long time are this: Why do well meaning Christians get off the path of righteousness, and how do they end up listening to demons?

Answer that drifted up out of my spirit this morning as I listened for the Holy Spirit:

There are various ways to enter into the spirit when you pray. 

Entering through the Door of Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. 

Entering through other Doors is how people get into trouble.

Pride, rebellion, divination, and many others are doors which also lead into the spirit.

Demonic music, self will, and not being led by the Holy Spirit is how to go astray.

One must be led by My Holy Spirit, covered in the blood of My Son as a child of the Most

High to enter the spirit safely, otherwise you are entering in as a thief and a robber.

After receiving this message from the Lord, joy and peace filled my spirit. I now see why we may be accidentally and unknowingly led astray. I don't know about you, but I only want to enter into the spirit realm through the Door of Jesus Christ as I'm led by the Holy Spirit!! Let us stay safe and only follow him. Let us repent for entering in as a thief and a robber! There is not one of us who is completely safe from entering in through the wrong door at some time or the other. That's why Jesus warned two times! Let us search our hearts continually, and ask the Lord to keep us clean and safe! Amen.

One final thought: It seems clear that once someone gets off the path of righteousness, and they are convinced they are hearing from the Holy Spirit, it is very difficult if not impossible for them to return. I believe the Lord spoke this scripture to explain.

Hebrews 6:4  For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

The Lord Rounds Up!

1 Peter 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible.

Mark 4:26&27  And Jesus said, " The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how."

1 Peter 2:9  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light..

                                        Message received 4/20/2018. 6:42 a.m.

Many of you have a concern that you fall short in My eyes. Do you not know that the Lord rounds up? Oh yes, the enemy will speak lies and say you do not measure up, but if you keep your eyes towards heaven your short comings are irrelavant. Have you not heard that there is not one good among you? That is why I sent My Son to save you. He has already paved the way for your freedom. All one must do is believe that He did this. Believing in Him is your part. My part is the miracle to follow. Rebirth with My incorruptible seed is the beginning. This happens through My enduring word that is with you. Believing plants the incorruptible seed and makes you free. One must be born again to enter My kingdom. There is no other requirement placed upon you by Me. Man will teach you to believe differently, but I give freely. Now there is a work which must take place afterwards. However, this work is separate from the new birth, and is accomplished through My Holy Spirit combined with a willingness on your part. Once you become My child, you are likened to a seed. To grow you must be watered, and loved, and receive the light from My Son. As a seed falls into the ground and dies, it grows, and rises through time. You shall not know how this happens, but as you look back you shall see the difference. Time given to your Lord is never wasted. Strive not in My kingdom. I Am is the one who gives growth. Rest in your Lord for He loves you more than you know. 

Kicking Over the Ant Pile

Robin's heart: I love to work in my yard, but like almost evey activity we participate in there are almost always included hazards. Without fail, I usually encounter hidden ants when I weed my flower beds. I live in south Louisiana and the ants here are insatiable. Some people even believe we live on a giant ant pile because we have so many fire ants in our area. These little critters sure can pack a punch when they bite you. It amazes me how they can go unnoticed as their weightless bodies crawl into position which is usually on bare feet. Without fail, once they achieve their strategic position, the leader blows a whistle and then all those in position simaltaneously bite. If you have never experienced these bites be glad! It hurts! Then after you diligently pry off all the latched on creatures, you have to deal with intense itching from their poison. Trust me on this one, I have scratched until I have drawn blood on myself in order to relieve the itch! Ants dont bark, but they sure do bite! Also, these tiny fire ants work as a group to feverishly build their mounds. It is surprising to see how they can work overnite to build a very large mound. Their queen must be a slave driver! She must not allow them to rest until all work is complete! So I'm saying all this because as usual, today the Lord has me kicking over an ant pile. I am deliberately walking through and kicking the ant pile, but the Lord has provided steel toe boots so not to worry! Boy! The ants are gonna be angry! I have actually been sitting on this message for over a year. I have avoided posting it because ant bites hurt! Even with my boots on, I'm still in danger of getting bitten. I expect to be maliciously attacked and also be required to stand against the oncoming attack after I post this message. The good news is that the attack always give evidence that I am in God's perfect will. Demons never attack if we are working hand and hand with him. Regardless of the consequence, I must march forward. I believe the Lord has given you time to repent, but now your actions are getting out of hand. One thing for sure, I do apologize to all in advance to whom this message offends. I do love you all in the Lord. I guess this means you won't be posting anymore of my messages! However, I must do my kingdom job. When I face Jesus Christ, He will not be able to say that I did not warn you. I must also protect the lambs who are listening to your rhetoric. One more thing! The Lord is my defense! Alleluia!

Matthew 26:21  Now as they were eating, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

John 13:21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

Notice how Jesus twice warns that one within His close circle would betray Him. He warned His disciples that someone within His circle was a traitor. I am one who believes scripture is given to help us understand spiritual truths. In these given scriptures Jesus is making it crystal clear that the AntiChrist will be one of us, or at the least we will believe him to be one of us. He will not be one on the outside of the circle. He will deceive all involved until the time comes for us to understand who he is. BHO is not the Anti-christ. Only uneduated people follow and praise Him. Informed Christians are well aware of his evil ways. We know he is controlled by powerful demons. He is not fooling or deceiving us in any way, shape, or form. He is the obvious current choice. It is as if a red blinking light is on his head. It's a no-brainer to pick him. Therefore we know it's not him! Satan is a Deceiver. If possible, he will deceive even the elect. Satan was one step down from God. He has wisdom far above our pea brains. Therefore, his chosen vessel will be so convincing to believers that if we are not grounded in the word, and in fellowship with the Holy Spirit we will be deceived. A child can see BHO's evilness. He is not deceiving the wise. He is only deceiving those who believe he is a good guy, and those who believe he is the Anti-Christ. Those who believe he is "the Anti-Christ" are heeding to seducing spirits and need to be delivered.

God Knows You Better Than You Think

Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?- unless indeed you are disqualified.

Isaiah 5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Proverbs 28:13 He who covers his own sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not to it, to him it is sin.

Message received 4/14/2018 @ 9:11 a.m.

Peace be still My children and know that your God reigns. Fret not over the sounds of war across your world. All these things must come to pass in order to bring My millennial reign. There are those among you who truly hunger and thirst for My Righteousness. Know that you are being filled as you seek Me, your Savior, with all your heart. Come boldly, to My throne of Grace and I shall tell you of things to come. It is not My will for any of My children to be caught unaware and alarmed. Unfortunately, the sudden events will shock the majority as a moving tornado descends with great force upon the land. Some will have time to reach their storm cellars as refuge because of My great love and mercy. Most will be destroyed by the onslaught of calamity because they choose not to hearken to My word. Oh how I would wish to gather all peoples under My wings of protection, but as disobedient children the majority run off to do as they please. They realize not that the further away they move from Me the greater the penalty to be. Shall you be one who stands by My side? Or one who stands across the room? Or one who stands at a distance that your eyes may still see Me? Or one who hides and falls totally outside of safety? The distance between us is determined by the choices each makes. What you choose shall effect your eternal place. Most not realizing this to be truth. Time spent on earth determines your eternal heavenly or hellish course. I wish for each to fulfill My preordained plan, but most resist My voice and the leading of My hand.  

Some of you have yet to learn My ways. You look to others for your answers or for Me to speak like a parting of the Red Sea. This I do, but in general I speak in ways that require a keen awareness of My Holy Spirit's presence that is only developed as you spend undivided time with Him through prayer and meditation. He is like a brush of the wind across your skin, and like a gentle flow of a stream running over weathered pebbles. As you learn to tune into heaven's realm you shall hear and feel His peaceful presence. Obstacles prevent some from hearing and sensing. Just ask and I will help you remove these hindrances. Remember, My children I do not condemn. I reveal sins and then give you solutions in order to remove them. Some take diligent attention due to deep roots and stubbornness, but if you stand against them with my blood and delegated authority, eventually you shall be made free. I know those who come to Me with a pure heart, and I know those who put their Father's desires first. Some walk as if they are mine, but I see past their falseness and lies. I know those who deceive themselves into believing that they are right with the Lord. I know those who have chosen to walk according to their own selfish desires. Who do you think you are fooling My creation? Nothing is hidden from the Lord. Listen carefully, and be warned. The Lord chastens those He loves. The wheat and the tares are being separated. Be not one who gets plucked and destroyed. Sit quietly each day with the Lord, and I shall speak as you approach with reverence and love. My Spirit remains quiet to those who come because of selfish motives. Rid yourselves of those things I have repeatedly requested, otherwise time will catch you in a place of embarrassment. Do you want to be among those counted worthy to stand before the Lord, and to escape all those things coming upon your earth or among those who are forced to endure the worst? I have given all the perfect solution. Just turn now from your wicked ways and receive forgiveness.

Love Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach

Walk in the Light

1 John 1:5-7 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

John 1:5 and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness

 comprehends it not..

Thought For the Day: If you are like me, you have probably talked with many people who use logic to explain why they do not believe in God, and why they believe that they have a right to make their own choices in this life. In the past, I would become quite frustrated with their apparent confrontational and deluded mindsets. In fact, I had great opportunity to step into the darkness with them during these situations. My flesh wanted to convince them of the Lord's goodness. I now understand that these people are blind, deaf, naked, lame, and are unable to comprehend the truth. Only the Lord Himself is able to save and heal them. All we can do is to plant seeds of truth, and then pray the Lord waters the seeds and causes them to grow. Let us keep walking with the Lord each day, despite the battles we encounter along the way.

Ways the word says we should walk:

Walk in love...

Walk worthy of your calling...

Rise and walk...

Walk in the light...

Walk in My ways...

Walk on the water...

Walk in newness of life...

Walking and praising God...

Walk in the fear of the Lord...

Walk by faith...

Walk in the spirit...

Walk in wisdom...

Walk in truth...

Are You Walking With the Lord?

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

Isaish 53:6 We all, like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Thought for the Day: I'm so thankful to be walking with Jesus. By faith, I trust I'm at His side continually. He promises to never leave us nor forsake us, and I believe Him. I can not even begin to express my heartfelt gratitude towards Him. Do you walk with Him too? I sure hope that you do! However, the only way we are able to walk with Him is to agree with Him. Agreement is not an option. He will not change His course in order to comply with our demands or pleas. Scripture clearly says that if we love Him then we must keep His word. Being a doer of His word is what gives evidence that we love Him. Many people falsely confess Him as their Lord. We know this fact because we can see that they are not keeping His word. Maybe they do not understand what calling Him Lord means. Confessing Jesus as Lord means that we are submitting ourselves to His authority. Unfortunately, many people are deceived, and are walking on life's road alone. God's love and mercy is with them, but they are not on the road to Father God's perfect plan. My daily goal is, and I hope your's is too, is to walk with Him, and to not let roadblocks cause me to disagree with the Lord even for a moment. In fact, I pretty much hold His hand in my spirit continually, so if I start veering off course, I can feel the tug as my arm gets outstretched. That way, I'm gently led back to Him. Today, let us agree with the Lord. Stay close to Him and listen for His voice, and do what He says. That way, we stay on His set path, and more importantly, we are walking with Him.

Forest Through the Trees

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-10  ...and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe.....

Thought For the Day: The expression "forest through the trees" is used of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole. It is very easy for all people to fall into this trap. In this life we are surrounded by so much darkness, it takes determined effort to focus on the good which then Alleluia minimizes the bad. As believers and members of the Body of Christ we are no different. In fact, we have a greater opportunity to lose focus because the enemy uses relentless tactics to disenchant our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must therefore be vigilant to keep our eyes on the Lord and His eternal goodness at all times.

To the glory of God, we are a part of the group of believers who enjoy watching bible prophesy play out in our current world wide events. The danger that comes with this interest is that we have an opportunity to lose sight of our purpose in salvation. Let us remember our purpose is two fold. First, we are expected to allow God to work through us in order to draw others into His Kingdom. This is otherwise known as the great commission. Secondly, we are called to watch for our Lord's soon return. Are you watching for Him or have you forgotten? It is through wisdom that we understand that we need to be aware of the signs of our times to help us get a sense of the timing and closeness of His return, but let us not allow watching the signs to supercede watching for Our Lord's return. We walk a fine line.

Sometimes I must confess I forget this truth and fall in a ditch. I pray that if you are like me, that we overcome every hindrance that may cause us to look away from our divine purpose each day. Let us stay continually in close fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and to listen always closely for His voice, and direction. That way we will stay ready to let His light shine to others, and for the Lord's return. None of us knows exactly when Jesus is returning, but as believers we know that He is coming, and every eye shall see Him! Glory! Let us live a life pleasing to the Lord each day, and we shall have no fears. So whether war, or economic collapse, or fallen angels, or the Anti-Christ, or famine, or pestilence, or terror, or persecution, or death, or whatever difficulties surround us, we will be just fine because we have intentionally positioned ourselves to be on the Lord's side. Amen!

Be Not a Weak Link

Update: the Lord led me to change the previous picture. He is so wonderful! He is helping me make adjustments within myself in order to glorify His name....the God of peace is always near! Thank you Lord God Almighty!

Robin's heart: I had a really rough time this week. I was bombarded with negative thoughts in every area of my life. From my job, to family, to others in the Body of Christ, to my walk with God, to just about anything and everything you could think of right now. After suffering in the downward spiral all week, yesterday, the Holy Spirit helped me resist the enemy. These thoughts that came in unexpectedly like a flood were being allowed unintentionally by me and then took the opportunity to Lord over me. I should have resisted immediately, but the enemy knows how to wear us down until we are in a weakened state. However, through the help of the Holy Spirit, I started to resist the attack with the Word of God, and I started feeling a recovery and a lifting of my spirit. This morning, I pressed in to talk to the Lord and He gave us all the following word in regards to the situation.

Acts 3:16  And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God....

Ephesians 4:13 Til we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

  Word received 4/8/2018 10:04 a.m.

My children the enemy is coming against My Body with great force at this time and will increase in the future. You must resist him with an attitude of fiercness or you shall be drowned as a rip current pulls you helplessly under water. Hold fast to My word which is the only source of truth with a predetermined act of tenacity. You must purpose in your heart continually to hold on to that which you have been given no matter how strong the force of attack becomes. The enemy's primary purpose is to break the chain of unity within My Body and to apply his chains of bondage. The connection you have to each other is very powerful in the spirit. Be not the weak link that enables the enemy in to harm the other. Join hands knit together My children in the spirit. Resist thoughts and lies that conflict with Love and Faith. My mercy and grace is what binds you together and to your King. Depend not upon your own human strength. Depend upon My Spirit to give power to the weak. You must purpose in your heart to yield to My Spirit. At that point, he is your Strength.

Never has there been a greater need or time for My Body to walk in unity. Unity is a powerful defensive force. Oneness is a key to victory. It can not be defeated. Lift up your brothers and sisters in prayer. Pray that they stand strong in faith and give glory to My Name. Pray for all to quickly identify the plans of the enemy. This helps avoid falling into traps and being led astray. Being aware of his plots and schemes builds a line of defense for the chain. Each of you has strengths and weaknesses. Pray for all to become strong in Me. Let not satan break My chain. Speak forth My name and My word to break his chains. Bondages are those things that blind and divide. My Spirit of liberty gives freedom, builds unity, and gives life. My Body must come together as one and build a chain of love and freedom. A house divided can not stand. A spirit of strife must be rebuked and renounced at all times. Love one another as i love you. Look past faults and see the truth. Those who love and see the heart are My children of light. Pray that My Body functions as One. Unity brings strength to overcome the hordes that come.

Love your Lord, Jesus Christ

Weak link: the least dependable member of a group; fragile portion of a chain, where it is most likely to break

Was That Dream From God?

Robin's heart: I recently watched a small portion of a video that troubled me. In this video a man was teaching on the topic of "Dreams from God." As I began watching the video,  he went on to say that you can know a dream is from God because it is filled with light. I turned off the video right there. Scripture clearly says that satan can appear as an angel of light. Using light as a basis for determining if a dream is from the Lord is dangerous. A dream filled with light may be from God, but light should not be your determining factor. The only way to tell if a dream is from God is through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit which comes by prayer and fellowshiping with Him. After turning off the video, a doubt devil started to question me in regards to the God dreams I believe I have had. Up to this point, I have not had any dreams filled with light or any heavenly encounters. Most of the dreams I receive are relatively short and have an equally short clear message. However, some of them are very dark with dark topics. My point here is that doubt sure can sneak in unexpectedly. Therefore, let us be careful to protect our ear gates and eye gates. After this experience, I felt led to compile a short list of examples of dreams that are not filled with light, but are in the bible so are unquestionable from God. I did this in order to dispute the statement on that video about dreams from God containing light. Dreams from God come in all shapes and colors! God knows how to get His point across to and through each of us as He chooses. People love putting Him in a box! Foolishness I say! Thank you Lord!

Genesis 15:12  Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him....

Genesis 20:7 God said to Abimelech about Sarai in a dream: "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, and all who are yours.

Genesis 40:19 Joseph interprets the baker's dream: Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you.

Genesis 41:4 dream of famine...And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows, so Pharaoh awoke.

Judges 7:13 dream of losing a battle ...i have had a dream, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian: it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed..

Daniel 7:15 after a dream about the four beasts...I Daniel was grieved in my spirit within my body and the visions of my head troubled me

Daniel 8:27 after a vision of end time kingdoms and rulers...And I Daniel fainted and was sick for days..

While on this topic I am lead to share a recent dream/vision that I hope encourages you. A couple of years ago, I dreamed about a yacht. Not a giant one, but one very similar to the attached picture. It was a quick dream. In the dream was a man with white clothes, a white beard, and white hair. He was sitting in the drivers seat, but he was turned towards me smiling. I was standing outside the boat on a wharf or wooden dock of some sort. He was beckoning me to step aboard, but did not speak. His body language said "come aboard!" End of dream...well I had kind of forgotten about this dream until Saturday. To set the scene please allow me to explain. I have decided to start fasting and praying on Saturdays and to just spend quality time with the Lord in order to clean out my mind from the work week. Well around the ending time of the fast that day I had a mini vision in my spirit. I saw this same white headed man from two years ago sitting in the same boat. He was smiling really big this time. The difference this time was that I removed the rope that was around a pier post that was holding the boat to the dock. I then threw the rope on the boat deck and stepped into the boat. I walked over to where he was sitting and placed my hand onto the back of his seat. As i did this he turned towards the front of the boat and He pushed down the throttle full force, and we took off! We were both very ecstatic. I could feel the wind blowing in my hair, and saw his hair blowing in the wind. Then I looked ahead, and in the distance i could see we were headed for a storm. I could see much darkness ahead. The thing is as I looked back at this man he seemed very determined to head straight for the storm, and had no fear or hesitation. It was as if it was our predetermined course. I understood that he was to be trusted, and he knew what he was doing. End of vision. So my sense about this drean/vision is that the Holy Spirit is taking us for a ride into a storm, so we need to buckle up, hold on and trust Him! It's gonna be a bumpy ride! Amen! One more thing! Let's hope He's not just talking to me! Ha!
