Teachings and insights poured through Brother Freedom extemporaneously at the Saturday Breakfast
Posted by Brother Freedom
…do not even think about the things of tomorrow. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:…” [Matthew 6:28] And you know that is really marvelous. God takes care of the sparrows. So much more, HE will take care of us. [See Luke 12:6-7] And the Bible says, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” [Matthew 6:34]
So you know it is really important. God wants us to have such a trust and faith in HIM that we are not concerned about, basically, “number one [ourselves]. We are just concerned about pleasing HIM. There is *A LOT* to that! And I really have been considering that.
Even in praying the Bible says, “…we know not what we should pray for as we ought…” [Romans 8:26] **WE SURE KNOW NOT HOW TO PRAY FOR OURSELVES, only “Lord, make me better!!” But other than that we don’t really know.
We are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” [Psalm 139:14] So that means that HE knows all about us. It is like a piece of Caterpillar equipment. That equipment doesn’t have to worry *IF* you got a good mechanic on the job. It doesn’t have to worry!! It is going to be pretty well taken care of! And even if the operator gets a little mean with it, it will still do pretty good. But if the mechanic doesn’t do a good job, and it doesn’t have any service: IT IS GOING TO GO [down] FAST (it is going to wear out quickly)!! And I believe this truth is really parallel to our situation and God.
That’s why we need the serviceability that God can only give us through studying the Word, and praying the Word and all these things.
But there comes a time, and I realize that we put into a heavenly bank account for life. That account builds up. And God sees us when we hit tough times, when you don’t have time to do this and that. And HE understands. HE UNDERSTANDS!
In Hebrews it talks about resting in the Lord. [See Hebrews 4:1-11] But that is THAT rest, when you come. It talks about it. You don’t worry no more about your toils. And that is what it means, that you don’t have to be concerned about those things. God is going to automatically take care of you. “Fret not thyself because of evil doers.” It says “FRET NOT!” [See Psalm 37 and Proverbs 24:19 “Fret not” means “don’t worry.”] The Lord is saying, “Child! Wake up! Be a person! Enjoy ME! Come into ME all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” [See Matthew 11:28-30]
I was just thinking about that. That is so, *SO* special!
We have got a lot to pray about. It is the needs and the cares. I’m not so sure that all the time God wants us to be praying. HE wants us to be PRAISING HIM, LOVING HIM, caring. That is what we are for, to praise HIM. “I will bless the LORD at *ALL* times:…” “AT ALL TIMES!” [Psalm 34:1]
Praising is a little different than praying. If you are praising it gets *RAISING*! It raises your temperature! It raises the glory! You can’t be sick if you want to be sick. No kidding! It really works! It drops your blood pressure. It builds up the marrow, because you are just praising God. And then when HE wants to slip you Home, you just take and go Home. The more you do this, probably the more that people don’t understand you, because very few do this. But I believe that is the key.
I used to think that humbleness was the key. But humbleness is just the very beginning. “…whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” [Philippians 4:11b] The Apostle Paul said that. We don’t need to be concerned. God is taking care. HE has done a good job so far!

[Around 1993 Brother Freedom became desperately ill. His thyroid shut down. And he was near death for three months. He was believing for healing. He was believing for God to restore his thyroid. But God chose to raise him up by another means. God sent him a dream. And in the dream he saw himself hooked up to intervenous or I.V.s getting medication. He saw himself hooked up in this manner and still ministering and serving God. And so he recognized that God was directing him to receive the thyroid medication that his doctor prescribed. The following thought reflects back upon this sickness that God so used in his life. We had just read something in our restaurant breakfast time that mentioned the “white raiment” that God gives.]
I was sick and everything changed. But I saw myself in that dream. And that was when those 77 pastors came into view. But I was in white raiment. And the Spirit of God was all over me. I couldn’t imagine! I thought I had gone to Heaven, or I was going that way. And I never forgot that. It was all white!
——————————————————————-
But we are running out of time! And the things that we see now, that we take as “just happening,” may not continually happen, like they are happening right now.
We are living in a time when God is coming back through the clouds of glory. And HE is seeking for a people that will worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth, in HIS likeness and in HIS goodness.
HE has blessed us with HIS Heavenly blessings from the time that we were born until today. And God continually blesses. And God has blessed HIS people tremendously! And HE has put up with things that are not really the best. But God has done it because of HIS love for us.
But in this, God wants to reach HIS people. And the way that the World is growing, the World is growing weaker and wiser: very wise because of having deception of computers. Which we are NOT saying computers themselves are evil, but such is some that use it are evil. And it can all be used for good.
So God saw this in HIS infinite mercy. HE knew that all these things were going to transpire, before it every happened. Through that God saw a little nobody, that WAS nobody. God is sharing this with you today.
And HE took this nobody, and HE took him out behind the scenes of men’s activity and taught this one about HIS Spirit. And HE did the same with HIS Son.
HE sent HIS Son, and the World received HIM not, but to as many as received HIM, to them HE gave power to become the sons of God. [See John 1:11-12]
God is calling those in this last hour by the Spirit. But through men’s mentalities, men have grown to a place that they have learned the Word so well, so fluently they know all about it. They have come to the degree that they don’t actually need the power of the Spirit of God to react upon the Word, because the Word of God is powerful.
God’s written Word will do glorious things. We use the Word and it will make a business flourish! The Word is powerful within itself. It is the key to prosperity. It is the key to health. It is the key to right living within itself.
But God gave a Saviour that went with the written Word and *IS* the Word. But also HE gave the promise of the Spirit of God! And the promise was given that men that had no life within themselves, that had no activity within themselves, that HE could move upon these, who were no one to bring something alive!
And that is what HE has wished to do. But, many of the churches have rejected. They have rejected the call that God has put in the Word that there would be prophets, there would be apostles. And they have rejected these to the degree that God has NOT that activity in among HIS beloved.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true! But it is saying that it is NOT what God wants. In this last days, I believe that God is going to have a remnant. And this remnant is going to move through the Spirit realm.
But also these that are going the way that they are going, there is going to be a GREAT power that is going to come upon them! There is going to be an awesome power! The churches are going to flourish, a lot of them, because the Enemy wants them to flourish.
He [the Enemy] can cause those ones to lose out on the end. The only thing that concerns him [the Enemy] is the end results! This is by the Spirit right now that God is speaking. He [the Enemy] only works in the “end results.” And the “end results” is he [the enemy] will show them a prosperous journey, through the church believing a lie, and [they] shall be damned!
And that is why we have to learn to be careful that God moves through the Spirit. Those that lose the Spirit lose God!! And the outcome [is] HE [God] will lose that [lose those who turn away from the Spirit]. That is why the Bible says, “And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.” [Mark 13:20] You can read this in the Word. If God did not shorten that day, they would not be saved!
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” [2nd Timothy 3:1] “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,…” [2nd Timothy 2-3a] It goes down the line.
But it says there will also be some,… [The Spirit of God suddenly ramped up the anointing and Freedom stops in mid-sentence overwhelmed by the presence. His eyes are closed tight and he holds himself so that he does not disturb the other patrons in the restaurant.] But it says there will also be some,…they will say there is nothing to the Spirit. But the Bible says, “…from such turn away.” [2nd Timothy 3:5b]
The anointing now lifts and Freedom returns back to himself.
And I believe that God is bringing a line out, very shortly. And we must choose. I don’t know what the outcome is going to be. But I know there for a few minutes God was speaking to us, that HE is still moving by HIS Spirit, whether men think so or not!
And it is not by might or by power, but by HIS Spirit. [See Zechariah 4:6] Jesus did HIS work! Jesus said, “it is needful that I go away, for if I go away I will send the Comforter. If I go not away the Comforter will not come. But if I go away HE will come and will reprove you.” It is in the Word. [See John 16:7-17] And HE [the Comforter the Holy Spirit] will come. HE will bare up the Name of Jesus, surely! And Jesus said, “I’m going to ascend to the Father. And I’m going to prepare for you a Heaven.” [See John 14:2-3]
Jesus has prepared all this time for us. HE has prepared the callings. HE has prepared for us repentance. HE continually prays for us. That is JESUS! We come to HIM, the Father, in the Name of Jesus. But HE has also gifted us with a power of the Holy Ghost.
They blasphemed against Jesus. But they are blaspheming now against the Holy Ghost. That is where the division is among God’s people!!
“We don’t know such as the Holy Ghost!” That is what many are saying! “We know Jesus!”
But God is saying, “Jesus said in HIS Word all these things shall be forgiven. But if you come against the Spirit it will NOT, it will NEVER be forgiven!!” [See Matthew 12:31]
It is an awesome thing! **REMEMBER!! IT IS AN AWESOME THING WHEN YOU COME AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF GOD!!**
Oh, Praise God…but God wants to bring HIS love on us. HE wants to strengthen us. HE wants to help us! **BUT IT IS ***ALL*** THROUGH THE SPIRIT!** *IT IS ALL THROUGH THE SPIRIT!*
It is not by might, nor by power. But God is speaking to me right now, that is what HE has been doing in that Rescue Mission. There is no other doors open. But God is moving there. And God is going to move where he can find a little bitty opening. God is going to move!
And the churches are so closed! The churches don’t want anything that has got any potential of anything that is away from the plan of their church. Those plans are good. But they are STILL NOT GOD!!! They [men’s plans] are NOT totally God!!
——————————————————————-
But God does it through the Spirit. How does the Spirit work? It works with HIS servants! It says the prophets work through the Spirit. [See Ephesians 3:5] And HIS people are enriched by the prophets of God. [See Ephesians 4:8-13] The callings of God are without repentance. [Romans 11:29] So we can’t come against what God has also resurrected. If we miss out in the end it is because we came against God! It is not HIS fault! It is not HIS fault. God is all together glorious! Praise ye the Lord!
