THE DOOR, and the MESSAGE THERE....

It has been now more than a year since i have been given a VISION...more so one that was to be WRITTEN DOWN and CARRIED...

I found myself standing in a bright sunlit space. I was standing on a cobble stoned street and in front of me were stone steps going up to a set of large wood DOORS. On one door was a bright white paper that caught my attention. As climbed the steps I looked at the doors and the masonry they were set into. As climbed wondered was this what the people first saw after MARTIN LUTHER nailed his complaints.....

When got to the top saw what was written there and i had to laugh... instead of a long list of issues was a statement from the "management". It was simple, straight and to the POINT....

"NO BEREANS NEED APPLY"...

in big bold letters. and that was where the vision ended.Over the years have tried to document what saw, heard, smelled... and left everyone to interpret it as they would. Now that assumed that there would be those who would discern what THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT wanted them to comprehend. But have learned very few can really "hear" THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE. And even less hear words when HE SPEAKS. So will be trying to explain what am seeing for those who do not...."NO BEREANS NEED APPLY"...Now to me this is a DOUBLE MESSAGE...First is the SCRIPTURAL MEANING...In the book of ACTS, Chapter 17 Paul and Silas are having a rough time. They are opposed by a united force. Look in verse 5... But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people Why were the "UNBELIEVING Jews envious? Read verse 4 and it is your answer... 4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. Paul and Silas were successful in their teaching of the GOSPEL. They had "converts"...some of which were "the chief women"....which means wealthy women.

Now we have verse 10 and the town of BEREA...

10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews.

It is verse 11 that is important... These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

The Bereans heard Paul and Silas teaching/preaching and did something. They STUDIED to see if what Paul was teaching was ALIGNED WITH SCRIPTURE. They actively listened and judged what they were hearing.

and the SIGN SAID..."NO BEREANS NEED APPLY".... the modern AMERIKAN CHURCH does not want anyone who has a "READY MIND" and go to SCRIPTURE to validate what anyone is teaching.

150 years ago in AMERIKA if you looked in the "HELP WANTED" section of the paper, you would find the name "NINA" at the end of the ad. You could find the same name on "HELP WANTED" signs in store windows.
"NINA" was not the name of a prominent sign painter in NEW YORK, BOSTON, BALTIMORE or PHILLY... "NINA" meant, "NO IRISH NEED APPLY"...yes we have jobs in need of workers, but we will not hire any IRISH.  Sure, it was discrimination. It was what eventually shaped city politics for over 100 years.

THE APOSTATECHURCH does not want any BEREANS... has no use for them. Has no love for any modern "PAULS or SILASES" doing the WORK OF THE KINGDOM.

Acts 17 is loaded with nuggets of PURE GOLD if you just study it.
