The One Good Path       by David Nelson       6-23-10

 

Don't keep moving but stand still. Stand and see all the ways and roads man travels on. Ask about the old paths, for there is one good way (path or road), it is the only narrow path of God, it is the path where you learn how to walk with the one, true, living God. In that path, and that path alone, you will find the rest for your soul that you have always longed for. But they said, "We will not walk in it." (Jer. 6:16)

 

The Lord whispered in my ear the other day, this is why your ministry exists, when people look and ask for the One Good Path, you will be there and know how to show them to it (to Me), for not many will ask and even fewer will be willing to walk in it once they hear what it is. And this is why YOUR ministry exists also (You who are now receiving this writing), if you are walking in that one path with the Lord then you will know how to show others to it. What the Lord has shown you is so precious (how to walk with Him and in His truth) and you will teach the precious things needed to show others how to get into God's path. Some times we (as ministries) must wait, just as the Lord waits, before people realize their great need for Him.

 

In Jer. 6:17 the Lord says, I have also set watchmen (you and me) over you saying, "Listen to the sound of the trumpet! (Listen to what God is saying now!) But they said, "We will not listen." Therefore hear, you nations,...calamity (is coming and now is) upon this people...because they have not heeded my words (have not received them). The Lord says to much of the church today, "Your burnt offerings are not acceptable (to Me)." (Jer. 6:20) I will not accept your man-made offerings, sacrifices, or works any more.

 

There is coming a time (and it is now beginning) when the woes of the earth will come so fast and devastating that some will say, "What can we do to find the Lord or get back to the Lord's favor? How can we seek and find the Lord? In Zech. 8:23 it says that in those days ten men (from ten different countries?) will grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man saying, "(Please) Let us go with you, for (it is said) we have heard (and it appears to be) that God is with you." So to, those who truly know the Lord, will shine with an anointing and His glory so that people will see it upon us (no praise to ourselves, only to God). People from all over the world, God showing mercy, will want to find someone who knows the Lord to show them the way to Him.

 

This is the One Good Path that God has shown us. It is the only path that brings rest to our souls, because it is the path that God is teaching us how to walk with Him. Stand still, see it, ask for it, seek for it (seek for Him), and walk in it my good friends. I will do the same in His love and His grace.
