“I Will Be Their God and They Shall Be My People”

June 19, 2024 by Admin

Scripture reading: Hebrews 8: 8-11

God’s desire for His people is that they would be a holy nation, a royal priesthood, a peculiar people, a kingdom of priests. How will this come about? Hebrews 8:9, “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.”

Verse 10a, “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind.” Notice he said, “into their mind.” Jeremiah 31:33b says, “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.” When Paul was translating this verse from the Hebrew into the Greek, he received the understanding and used the word “mind.” “I will put my laws into their mind.” The mind is the HEAD of the soul. God will put His laws in their souls, in their minds, and write them in their hearts – the very center of the human being. This center controls the actions, the thoughts, the emotions, the desires, the feelings, the will, everything.

The heart is like a pendulum that swings to the right and swings to the left according to how the individual thinks and behaves and desires to be. With the desires, with the mind, with the emotions, with the will, and with the influence of the spirit, a position is arrived at which is the heart of the individual. An individual locks himself into that position in his will and begins to act like he thinks in his heart. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he,” Proverbs 23:7a.

Hebrews 8:10b, “And write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.” We will never come to be what God wants us to be until we receive that covenant written in our minds and in our souls and in our hearts. The CHRIST must come into our HEARTS and change our minds, our feelings, and CHANGE US.

Paul again writing to the Corinthian church in II Corinthians 6:16a says, “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for YE are the temple of the living God.” This is one of the temples the antichrist wants to sit in. There are three temples and he wants to sit in all three. He first wants to sit in the human temple and then sit in the congregation, the church, and then to control the church and humanity.

II Corinthians 6:16b, “As God hath said, I will dwell in them.” Paul is quoting the very scripture we just quoted from Jeremiah, from Isaiah, and from Ezekiel. Verse 16c, “I will dwell in them (as I live in them), and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” God wants a walking temple, a temple moving from place to place and speaking.

Jesus Christ was the ABSOLUTE PERFECT EXAMPLE of God’s will for you and for me. Therefore, we must be careful what we bring into our mind, what we bring into our temple, and what we bring into our desires. The enemy comes and shakes something glistening in front of us, like catching a fish with a lure. As the fish sees this glittering lure, he darts at it and sometimes it provokes him enough until he snatches it. He might have been cautious at first but he throws caution to the wind and swallows it whole, so is the lure of the world upon us. If we see the world luring us in any way we should resist it. I observe very little resistance among Christians and I am urging you, if you do not resist it now, you will not be able to resist it ever again, for things are going from bad to worse and the power of the enemy is increasing. We need to resist the will of the devil.

He will walk in us and talk in us and be our God and we shall be His people.

The Spirit of God is to come upon humanity and to perfect His work on us and in us, through us and by us. Hallelujah!

(Excerpt from The Book of Revelation, Volume 1, pg. 50-51)

Thought for today:  We will never come to be what God wants us to be until we receive that covenant written in our minds and in our souls and in our hearts.

He That Hath an Ear

June 18, 2024 by Admin

[Printable version]

Scripture reading: Revelation 3:22

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

Let us consider that “ear.” Jesus spoke of some who hear, but hear not. There is a special spiritual hearing, where two people can hear the same thing in the natural, and yet one receives something spiritual and the other does not. In Exodus 29:20 Moses did what God told him to do. “Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.” The blood of the lamb is the type of the blood of Jesus Christ. God is saying that those who are Christians, who are really walking with God, should have anointed ears to HEAR God. They should have anointed right hands, so they can WORK for God. The anointed right great toe enables them to walk in God and WALK as Christ walked.

Jesus Christ says, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” This phrase is often said in Scripture. Whenever scripture is repeated, it carries deep emphasis and meaning. God is saying that even to listen to this message, you are going to have to have an ANOINTED EAR. If you listen and like the Word, it means your ear is anointed indeed and you only have to pray for God to put more anointing upon your ear in order to receive “the breadth, and length, and depth, and height” of the Word of God.

Some people are only going to receive part as Paul spoke about in II Corinthians 3:13-16, “And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.”

Paul also spoke of the dullness of the hearing of the people of God in Hebrews 5:11-14, “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” So many children of God are enmeshed and snared into organizations and into places where they ought not to be. They have no strength or understanding as to how to be delivered.

In this hour God is bringing forth a word of deliverance to His people. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Anyone who says that he does not have an ear to hear and calls on the Lord for help, GOD PROMISES that HE will take the responsibility to let him know. See John 7:17. Therefore, it is not a matter of intellect, or greatness of understanding that makes one know the things of God. The Spirit of God anoints the ear, the mind, the walk, the talk, the hands. God is reaching out at this time to the church. May God help us ALL to hear His voice, in Jesus’ name.

(Excerpt from The Book of Revelation, Volume 1, pg. 51-52)

Thought for today: Are you hearing God? Are your ears anointed? If you are not sure, cry to God and He will anoint your ear to hear.

One Thing God Will Never Do for You

June 17, 2024 by Admin

[Printable version]

Scripture reading: Exodus 20:1

We have been talking about coming out of our country. God said to Abraham, “Get thee out of thy country…” And He is saying the same to us. But, there is something else in this verse from Genesis 12:1 that is very peculiar. God said, “Get thee out…and from thy kindred (from your family).” What does it mean? He is talking about the host of spirits that govern your family.

Let’s say, for example, that you come from Kenya. In that case, you have a Kenyan heritage of spirits; all the hoodoo men that have been in your family coming from way down—they come up to you. God says that you must stop them by coming out from your kindred. Now, we are not talking about you physically coming out. Physically coming out might help a little, but we are talking about you spiritually coming out of your kindred and from your father’s house. There are certain spirits that governed your father’s house; when your father came to Jesus, he stopped them and gave them a blow, but they came to you.

Let me tell you this: Every disobedient child goes right back to the ancient spirits that rule their whole family. Do you know why? Because God says that He will visit the sins of the fathers unto “…the third and fourth generation of them that hate me” (Exodus 20:5). In other words, “…to them that are disobedient to Me.”

Glory to God! GET OUT of your country and from your kindred. REJECT the rulership of the spirits that ruled your family. Tell the spirits that they have come to their Waterloo and that they are at the point where they will be destroyed!

Do you know what happened when I got saved? I was the first one in my family that got saved. Spiritually speaking, I was a very violent person. I know this because the spirits tell me that I am violent. I was merciless. I would get hold of a spirit and say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I condemn you to the abyss! GO!” So, they were being murdered. That is what the spirits said, “You are a murderer.” I murder spirits! Isn’t that wonderful?

I tell you, the spirits even sent some brethren to me. They said, “Brother duCille, we think you are doing wrong, because when the demoniac came before Jesus, the spirits asked Jesus not to cast them into the abyss, but to cast them into the pigs; and Jesus had mercy on them. It is not right for you to be casting spirits into the abyss.” I asked Jesus, “What is this?” and the Lord gave me an answer to give them. I said to them, “How long ago was that?” They said, “Nearly two thousand years ago.” I said, “Well, the time must come for them to be cast into the abyss! They were saying to Jesus, ‘It is too early. Give us a break.’ Jesus agreed. It was too early, because if Jesus had cast all the spirits into the abyss, there would be none left to torment you.” I believe that the time has come for us to stop these spirits from bothering our families.

The Bible said, “GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM THY KINDRED.” Do not be a duCille anymore. Do not be what you are any more. REJECT IT! FORSAKE IT! TURN TO GOD!

Are you able to do it? I will give you a secret. This is one thing that God will never do for you. YOU have to do it. God will not reject the demons that rule your family on your behalf. You have to do it and let me tell you brethren, they are strong! But God said, “Get out of it.” Say, “I REJECT IT!” Reject it! Fall to your knees. Bow before God! Amen!

“Get thee out of thy father’s house…And I will make of thee a great nation.” 

The promise is to you. God was saying to Abraham, “The promise is to you and to your children and to everyone that the Lord God shall call.” The promise is yours! We do not have to be crawling on the ground any more. It is time for the church to rise up and for you to take your place before God!

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, July 1998, pg. 9-11)

Thought for today: Are you on the right track rejecting the spirits that have held your family for generations? Rise up and give the devil a fresh blow!

Are You in the Kingdom of God?

June 14, 2024 by Admin

[Printable version]

Scripture reading: Hebrews 11:8-10

Have you ever thought about why God said to Abraham to get out of his country, from his kindred, and from his father’s house? And also, why is He telling us the same thing? The reason is that if you do not get out, you will not get in. Let me say it again: If you do not get out, you will not get in! God is calling men and women and children into His kingdom and He said, “I offer you a holy priesthood. I offer you royalty.” However, you must come out if you are to come into what God is giving.

Now, this is no joke! This is not some preaching that we are putting over you. This is reality! The other things you are dealing with are not reality! They are for a time. They will pass away! Your color will pass away. Your nationality will pass away. All these things that you have in you that you believe are real—they are unreal!

“I offer you a royal priesthood, a holy nationality!” God said. God is recruiting people unto the heavenly Kingdom, but unless you get out of the kingdom under which you are ruled, you will never get into the Kingdom of God.

The question is, “When I get saved and I get baptized in the Holy Spirit, am I not in the kingdom of God?” We teach and we preach on this subject, but most of the brethren with which we fellowship do not believe this one point that I am bringing to you now. You are born again; there is no doubt about it. Jesus shed His Blood for you. He came, you opened yourself to Him, He baptized you with the Holy Spirit, and your spirit is completely taken by God. Now you have a spirit that is not yours. You cannot control your spirit for your spirit is taken by God. So then, your spirit will always be coming against the wrong things that you do. But are you in the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God is in you, but are you in the Kingdom of God? What is the meaning of this question? The only way we can find if we are in the Kingdom of God is if we understand what being in the Kingdom of God means.

Let us let us take it from the natural. We are in the kingdom of the United States of America. We have to obey the laws. Every one of you who came here by motor vehicle had to have a license. You have to pay for your license by the year. Your license has your photograph, your identity, and it is all done by the government under this kingdom where you are. Now, you can drive without a license, but it is called a crime. They will arrest you for driving without a license. You say, “I didn’t do anything! I only drove without a license,” but you are in this kingdom and so you must obey the laws and the rules of this kingdom or else your actions are illegal and criminal. That means that you are under the headship of the government of the United States, and whether you like him or not, the President of the United States is the head of the government of the United States. You do not have to like him, but what he says is going to affect you.

Now, let us go to the spiritual. To be in the Kingdom of God you have to be under the headship of Jesus Christ. That is, you have to be obeying the laws of Jesus. You have to be a citizen in good standing and not a criminal, because, as in our previous example, a criminal is still in the kingdom of the United States, but he is either in prison or he is working against the law and the law is working against him and sooner or later he is going to get hit and taken. Do you understand?

So, in order to be in the Kingdom of Christ Jesus, you must be under the headship of Christ Jesus. Now, are there Christians who are not under the headship of Jesus Christ? Yes! There are people who are born again and saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ, but they are not under the headship of Jesus Christ. They are against the very Kingdom that has redeemed them and purchased them.

We are saying then that to be in the Kingdom of Jesus you have to come out of the kingdom of the enemy.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, July 1998, pg. 7-9)

Thought for today: Let us come under the headship of Jesus Christ by the simple fact of obedience to His leading so that we may be found in the Kingdom of God.
