The Election Count – Part 9
There are only 2 types of fruit, righteousness, judgment, counsel, wisdom, fear, spirit, life.
There are only 2 types of waters!
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
A man’s water is a man’s doctrine. (Deu 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain… Prov 18:4 The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters…)
Living water is everlasting life! A saved man has living waters – the word of God – the Holy Spirit.
A lost man has his own water – his own blood – which will dry up in time of tribulation / heat.
Luke 8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Psalms 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
This is a big deal! A wicked man is going to perish in the evil day because he lacks moisture! He has moisture… but it comes from himself. What is his own moisture? It’s his own water. It’s his own words. His own doctrine. It’s his own spirit. Its just a tiny bit of moisture, and in time of heat, it dries up!
This is why the wicked are called “wells without water”, “clouds without water”, “trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit”. That is literally what they are!
“Moist*” appears only 4 times in the Bible. You’ve seen #3 and #4.
# 2 takes some study to understand how it fits, but it does fit!
Job 21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
You’ll find out that it is marrow, oil, spirit, words, doctrine… that is to fill and moisten the bones: to give life to the body. The bones, the body, the soul needs spirit, it needs moisture to live and to endure heat!
And here is # 1. The first, and really the only thing in the whole Bible that is called “moist”.
Numbers 6:3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
So what is one’s own moisture?
Deuteronomy 32:14 … and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
That is what man’s moisture is. Blood. That is literally what we are! Moist grapes, yet “without” moisture. Grapes… with just a little moisture. That is what man ate. That is what man became: a grape. And one day mankind will be harvested and trodden like grapes to make WINE!
Isaiah 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
Lamentations 1:15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: … as in a winepress.
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Man’s own moisture is his own blood! That is how he sprang up on stony ground.
Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
This is not figurative. It needs to be fulfilled literally. Spiritually, Jesus is that fountain opened now. And one day, physically a river of living waters will flow out of His throne on the earth.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Also see Zechariah 14:8, Ezekiel 47:8
Amos 5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Raphael Warnock and the false prophets and the false brethren love to preach, without understanding.
Your own judgment, righteousness, doctrine, BLOOD will never run down like a mighty stream. Unless it is as when the Lord treads mankind in the winepress of his wrath – as the sacrifice of the wicked! Unless it is as the Earth vomiting man’s blood out (Gen 4:11, Isa 24:20, Isa 26:21).
Let TRUE judgment and TRUE righteousness from ABOVE, run down like a mighty stream of waters!
Your own judgment and righteousness – man’s righteousness – which this man is CRYING OUT for.. is nothing but a lie (vanity) which causes souls to thirst and die! Raphael Warnock is a well without water! He is the blind, leading the blind into the dry ditch, the empty pit, the waterless well. He’s forsaken the fountain of living waters, he’s left the cold flowing waters which come from the Rock, and gone after his own waters, and the waters of this world. He’s left the fruit of the True Vine and gone to reign over the trees which have corrupt fruit.. no fruit! He, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, has left the word of God, to establish his own (man’s) righteousness. And he did this spiritually, long before he ran for a Senate seat.
And is his flock upset? Of course not! They want him to fight for them – to fix their lives in this world.
Fix my healthcare, my job opportunities, my wallet, my neighborhood, my transportation, my schools, my justice system, my security, my state, my country, my planet, fix my life. But these things are not even worth fighting for.
Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Establishing goodness and justice in this world, is not our fight, and its NOT EVEN POSSIBLE! There is no peace to the wicked. There is no judgment and righteousness running down like water in this world. Its not even possible without the Lord here.
But THIS is the blindness and ignorance of any man that leaves the spiritual fight, to fight against flesh and blood. What a dog!
Have we seen a dumber dog than the “Reverend” Warnock? A man leaving the word of God to become an activist, a politician? Have we ever seen this magnitude of foolishness and ignorance before??
Oh wait.. we have! Well I haven’t, but at least maybe YOU have… Our dear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who left his ministry to serve mankind. Before he became a civil activist, he was a Baptist minister too. And the world idolizes and celebrates him. The “Reverend” Warnock is just picking up the “Reverend” MLK’s mantle. He’s been praised for just that! In fact, he claims to run the same church that MLK did!
These dumb and deaf and blind, sleeping dogs… let them fight. Let them tear each other apart. They’re fighters. Men of war!
Christians, don’t fight with them, or against them. Take one of them by the ear, and be sorry!
This is their fight. This is their world. This is their kingdom. The false prophets fight this fight.
This is not our fight! But “Reverend” Warnock believes this IS his fight. This is the will of God for him; to get into one of those seats in the Senate and be one of 100 voices in America trying to make this country a better place. The will of God for him is to serve the people of Georgia. To help the marginalized people of America. To build America, to clean it up, to grow it, justify it, to make it righteous, to save it!
Save it?!?!?! Well… why wouldn’t these “Reverends” have seen the spiritual sword coming (heard the words of His mouth) and given the people warning from the Lord??why wouldn’t they have led the people to the fountain of living waters!? Because… the prophets/watchmen of Atlanta, Georgia, just like those prophets/watchmen of Jerusalem, Israel, are blind!
Isaiah 56:10-12 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. … 11 … and they are shepherds that cannot understand:
The “Reverends” were content to remain dumb, sleeping dogs, and not wakeful watchmen!
Wake up people! Wake up Pastors! This is not our fight! This is not how we shepherd the sheep! This is not how we care for / watch over His sheep! This is not how we feed His sheep! This is not how we save and justify the sheep! This is not watching… this is sleeping!
We are not activists! We are not to be involved in politics. Let the dogs fight. Let the dogs sleep on. LET. THEM. ALONE.
Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
I want to fight! I SOO want to pick a side and fight. I want to shout, and protest, and tweet, and picket. I want to bring forth a railing accusation against men! I want to succinctly and powerfully accuse men of being evil, being two-faced, being hypocrites, being racists, being liars, being criminals, being anarchists, being rioters, being traitors, being cheaters, being thieves, being fraudulent! I want to curse them, and tell them they’re going to be judged for their cheating, and lying, and seditions, and all their wickednesses.
I want to fight! … But this is not my fight. This is not your fight. This is the world’s fight. This is man’s striving. This is man’s government. These things are for men to fight for. Let them fight.
Which is our dog in the fight? None! They’re all dogs. They’re dogs fighting dogs. Which ear will we take hold of?
Which one is our leader? None! Let the blind lead the blind. LET THEM ALONE.
Which one is the righteous man? None! There is none righteous!
Which one is telling the truth? None! Every man (is) a liar!
Which one is fighting for us? None! Only The Lord fights for us!
Which one will save us? None! We’ve already been saved! What need we any more a Saviour?
Which one can assure us a safe and stable life? Which can preserve life? None! They’re all dead! Let the dead bury their dead. Why fight we with the children of the devil? Why fight we with the dogs? Why fight we with the dead? That’s what they all are. Dead men fighting!
So let them alone, and let them fight, and let them sleep on.
As good as this country has been to us, it is not worth us fighting for. If God is giving up this country to destruction, then fighting for it is not only futile, but it’s fighting against God. And this country is DEFINITELY NOT worth fighting against God for, like do the many false prophets, the many dumb sleeping dogs!
We are NOT to fight for this world, against this world, or in this world.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Our battle is spiritual. If we fight, we do so spiritually, against Satan’s power, over the minds of men. We fight that God may open their eyes and give them repentance.
If we strive, we do so spiritually, against false brethren, teaching false doctrine among our flock. Otherwise, we ought not to fight, even allowing ourselves to be defrauded.
James 4:1-4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. [fighting for this life] 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
To lust after, and fight for the things that man does, is enmity against God. To resist the power, and to rise up in rebellion for freedom from tyranny and oppression, for lower taxes, or more freedom to buy and sell, and run your business.. That’s the fight of mankind, the enemy of God. Don’t join the fight of the enemy of God.
The world chose Barabbas, who was a fighter, a rebellious insurrector, fighting for the rights and freedoms of the people, over the Lord Jesus. The world wants fighters to deliver them from freedom of oppression. The world is clamoring for fighters right now. Give us the fighters! Who will fix my life now? Who will protect me from the threats? Forget the peacemaker, the righteous man, deliver him up to death, as a sheep led to the slaughter, and give me the warrior!
Do you think they (any men) are on your side? They’re not! They’re your enemies. And they will deliver you up as sheep to the slaughter!
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
If our kingdom were of this world, then we (His servants) would fight! But we are not called to fight. We are not called to war for what is right in this world. We are not called to fight against injustice or fraud. We are not called to fight to defend ourselves.
Our kingdom is not from the Earth. Our kingdom is from another place… heaven. So we don’t fight the fight of this world.
I want to fight against evil! And I can… But there is a way it must be done. It must be done lawfully!
2 Timothy 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
If we are to be saved, elected, counted among the elect, it must be done lawfully – Scripturally.
And if we are to receive rewards for our labor, it must be done lawfully – Scripturally. We must strive lawfully – spiritually – Scripturally. It cannot be with iniquity. No fraud! No cheating!
(For a soul-winner that means no deceit (doctrine must be pure), no bribing, no forcing men, or enticing men. They must get saved simply because the Lord draws them and because they sincerely want the truth.)
With this election fight… the worst part is the potential fraud – the cheating.
A righteous man hates wickedness. A wicked man hates wickedness too – but only if it affects him.
An honest man hates cheating. A dishonest man hates cheating too – but only if it causes him to lose.
Among men, you’ll never see both sides calling out cheating… Just the losing side.
Those that profit (win) by cheating, turn a blind eye to it. But God is not mocked. Those that win by cheating are NOT really winning. If you strive UNLAWFULLY, you don’t win the prize. The righteous Judge knows when there is cheating. Be sure your sin will find you out. You may win here, but you won’t win in His courtroom. The witnesses against you won’t be disregarded or thrown out in His courtroom. You won’t get away with something unlawful in His court.
My fleshly mind says, “If there was cheating, I want it investigated! I want those cheaters found out. I want them prosecuted. I want them punished! I don’t want them to get away with it! Attack! Fight!”
But the Department of Justice is corrupt. The FBI is compromised. The Supreme Court is crooked. And the judges of the land take gifts, and judge for reward. This is not unique to America. This is man’s government. And my fleshly mind despairs.. Where is justice? Where is judgment!?
Ecclesiastes 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
Why should I condemn America, or Israel, or any nation of this world? The place of judgment is not currently in this world.
It is not in the heart of man, nor is it in the land of America, nor anywhere else in the world.
Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
That’s all you get in this world… wrong judgment. The older I get and the more I experience, the more I realize that this country and this world is just full of injustice, full of EVIL! It’s ALL rigged!
Unless you work and work and fight and fight and fight for it, this world will never give you justice. And then, when you do win it, you’ll find out… you’ve lost. Maybe you’ll lose everything here just to get one wrong righted. Just to clear your name. Maybe not.. but you’ll certainly have lost in the next world.
You will not get good judgment here. Wrong judgment proceedeth from the Earth. It doesn’t come from here. Its place, is not here. And my heart despairs!
But I remember… Good judgment comes from above. Righteous judgment comes from the righteous Judge.
I remember… God is not mocked. No one, is getting away with cheating. No one is escaping judgment. Whether there was cheating or no, one day it will be revealed and the guilty parties WILL be recompensed. Be patient… the time is coming, but the time is not yet.
Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

There are only 2 types of fruit, righteousness, judgment, counsel, wisdom, fear, spirit, life.

My fleshly mind says, “If there was cheating, I want it investigated! I want those cheaters found out. I want them prosecuted. I want them punished! I don’t want them to get away with it! Attack! Fight!”
But the Department of Justice is corrupt. The FBI is compromised. The Supreme Court is crooked. And the judges of the land take gifts, and judge for reward. This is not unique to America. This is man’s government. And my fleshly mind despairs.. Where is justice? Where is judgment!?
Ecclesiastes 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
Why should I condemn America, or Israel, or any nation of this world? The place of judgment is not currently in this world.
It is not in the heart of man, nor is it in the land of America, nor anywhere else in the world.
Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
That’s all you get in this world… wrong judgment. The older I get and the more I experience, the more I realize that this country and this world is just full of injustice, full of EVIL! It’s ALL rigged!
Unless you work and work and fight and fight and fight for it, this world will never give you justice. And then, when you do win it, you’ll find out… you’ve lost. Maybe you’ll lose everything here just to get one wrong righted. Just to clear your name. Maybe not.. but you’ll certainly have lost in the next world.
You will not get good judgment here. Wrong judgment proceedeth from the Earth. It doesn’t come from here. Its place, is not here. And my heart despairs!
But I remember… Good judgment comes from above. Righteous judgment comes from the righteous Judge.
I remember… God is not mocked. No one, is getting away with cheating. No one is escaping judgment. Whether there was cheating or no, one day it will be revealed and the guilty parties WILL be recompensed. Be patient… the time is coming, but the time is not yet.
Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
