James & Tess Arendt
(Continued from part 4)
"TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE." You say, "Wow, Lord, most of the place our feet are guided to seem to bring trouble!" It will bring you peace with God. It may mean war with man, but it's peace with God. How did you feel when you came home last night? Did you feel when you came home last night? Did you feel at peace with God? You may have had a little war with man, but you felt that wonderful satisfaction, that peace with God, "I've accomplished what God sent me to do!" PG?
LET'S STAND, SHALL WE, and GIVE THANKS. (Everyone praises!) Amen, Lord, have You anything to add to that? Thy will be done, TYJ! "Even so be it unto Thy handmaiden according to Thy Word." Maybe the Lord's trying to speak through a handmaiden. (A handmaiden prophecies: "For I have heard and regarded the low estate of these My handmaidens and these My servants, and I have heard their cry and will answer them and will fulfil the desires of their hearts because they been faithful unto Me. Therefore, saith the Lord, incline you ear unto Me, incline your ear unto the Words of My mouth, for I will say unto thee a parable, that I would desire thee to be as the wheat in the field when the wind bloweth over it, it is planted and firmly grounded. Therefore My children, stand fast, have faith in Me, and I will hear and regard Thy cry.") Isn't that beautiful? TYL!
THE WIND REPRESENTING A TIME TO TROUBLE, but your roots are going to be strong and the Lord's going to uphold you in that time soon to come. When the winds of adversity and the storm strikes, God is going to cause you to stand! Isn't that wonderful? Because He hath beheld your low estate and your obedience and you've been faithful, when all others are falling, you're going to stand! Hallelujah! TYL! PYL! (Another handmaiden prophesies:)
("MAKE IT KNOWN, MY PEOPLE, THAT THY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, that the Lord has heard thee. That thy prayers are as sweet-smelling burning incense unto My nostrils, that the Lord has lifted up His countenance unto His babes and His lambs, and that He loves thee, My people, and that He abides and manifests Himself in thee. Make known, proclaim the good news of the Gospel, Emmanuel, the Lord Jesus Christ! So therefore go and preach the Word, preach the Gospel, be instant in season and out of season, proclaim the good news through all the land, in the highways and the streets and the hedges. Go therefore, My children, go forth and tell them of My love, My wondrous love, My great love and My mercy that endureth for ever! Cease not to teach and preach the Love of Jesus!") Amen, Lord. "I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, upon My servants and upon My handmaidens will I pour out of My Spirit!" TYL! (A prophet prophecies:)
("THE WORD OF THE LORD HATH THIS DAY COME UNTO ME saying that there would be many, yea, many among you that shall see the dawning of a new day! And in this new day shall come persecution. For yea, the Lord would say unto thee, through persecution I did make My children white, that I may see them. For yea, I do not want to look upon them for they themselves are evil, but yea as they are persecuted they find in themselves nothing and turn to the Lord and God Himself. Therefore the Lord would say unto thee, I will send this persecution, let it be known unto thee that it shall be a blessing unto thee. For yea, I say unto thee, in the time to hardship I shall be made strong within thee. The Lord hath chosen thee and asked thee and told thee which way thou shalt go, and the Lord hath said unto thee, go ye therefore to the temple, proclaim unto them the truth, and they shall know when the destruction is come that a prophet has been among them!")
PRAISE GOD! TYJ! THAT'S THE MINISTRY, THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight! TYJ! Well, I think your dinner is waiting, we're going to open the gifts, I believe now. You've heard from His Word, from the Lord, wonderful beautiful things. The Lord sure must love you, He's so good to you! Amen Lord, we thank You for confirming Thy Word with signs following.
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY REMARKABLE THAT HAPPENED JUST NOW when we got up to pray and ask the Lord to speak. Remember the Scripture that came about His handmaiden? I knew the Lord was wanting to speak through you girls. You see, the emphasis of the passages we've been studying had a lot to do with women, right? So the Lord wanted to use you women and show you what He could do through you to speak to us today. I knew that Cheryl had a message, I could feel it through her hand, praise God, she was just quivering with it! I thought surely she was going to be first, but the Lord wanted to show that He could speak from any direction, and it was beautiful, all of it! TYL! PTL!
THE LORD'S SO FAITHFUL! If you'll just mind those little quickenings of the Spirit, those little things that God speaks to your heart, and trust and have faith that it's of God and act on it, you'll see that it's true! That's all I do, that's all anyone does that's used of the Lord in any way. PTL! That's what they had to do. It takes faith to speak in tongues, it takes faith to prophesy, it takes faith to interpret. It takes faith! You have to go step by step, word by word, praise the Lord!
AMEN, LORD, WE THANK THEE FOR THESE LOVELY GIFTS, LORD, THAT THOU HAS PROVIDED through the loving care and thoughtfulness of loved ones who gently wrapped them and tied them and made them look so pretty. Bless them Lord for this little touch. We're not much on Christmas in that respect, Lord, we put Thee first and Thy work; and yet, Lord, there are those who have had a little thoughtfulness for our material needs and desires, and we thank Thee for providing these things. Bless them for their kindness and their generosity, Lord, and their thoughtfulness, Lord, and their time that it took. Bless them for it, Lord, those that minister to our bodies, in Jesus' name. Amen! TYL!
(A BROTHER: I GOT SOMETHING FROM THE LORD, "cause us not to turn and run". I know all the guys that went on the attack with me yesterday, I know I did, I started giving the message and then as soon as I stopped, I didn't stick around to wait to see if there was any more, and I really felt convicted for it. Some of the guys got the whole thing out and a lot of the guys got scared out of it. So let's just pray that we could have the boldness just to stand there until they kick us out! Just keep giving it until they kick us out.)
I'M BEGINNING TO THINK SOME OF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO TO JAIL! His will be done. Well, I'm glad, maybe it was for my sake that you didn't have to go to jail on Christmas, I'm glad you're still here and we had Christmas together. Now Christmas is over, I don't know! Remember when Jeroboam stretched forth his hand to arrest the young prophet? It withered right up and he couldn't have bring it back again. (1Kg.13:4 .) I think maybe times like that are coming!
AT LEAST THEY KNOW US NOW, SO THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. The Lord has caused that to let'm sort of tolerate you. They figure, well, you'll just go to jail and that will be a whole lot of trouble and expense, they might as well just shoo you off and get rid of you! And they know that you're not some Communist or something now and that they don't have to fear any violence or riot from it, so in other words you're not really a threat to the peace. It's a good thing they know what you are. Just like John the Baptist, the king even got familiar with him and to respect him and to know that he was a man of God and preaching the truth. Of course, he finally killed him, but in the meantime he let him get away with it for a long time. PTL? Amen! And sometimes" they durst not touch Jesus for fear of the people." (Mk.12:12 ; Lk.20:19 .)
(PROPHECY FROM AARON: "WILT THOU BE A PROPHET OF THE LORD? THOU MUST PAY THE PROPHET'S COST, thou must pay the price of being a prophet, saith the Lord. For behold, I have said, because thou servest not the Lord thy god with joyfulness of heart and gladness, therefore shall many curses come upon thee. I have said this to others, let it not happen to thee! I have said now therefore mend your ways and your doings and the Lord will repent Him of the evil that He hath pronounced against you, and obey the voice of the Lord your God, even as I have said this through the mouth of My prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 26:13, even so do it, saith the Lord.
("FOR BEHOLD I HAVE SAID MAKE NOT PROVISION FOR THE FLESH TO FULFIL THE LUSTS THERE OF, but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. I have said that I will supply all your needs according to My riches in glory by Christ Jesus, and I have said seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. I have said that if any man will leave houses or loved ones or wife or children or the ones who he loves, then shall he receive an hundredfold now in this life of houses and mothers and brethren and sisters and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the World to come life eternal!
("I HAVE STATED ALL THESE THINGS and I HAVE PROMISED THAT I WILL COME QUICKLY and will give to every man according as his works shall be. For my reward is with Me. Behold, I come quickly to give to every man according as his works shall be. And think not to say within yourself, the cost is too great, I cannot do it: thou canst do all things through Me, saith the Lord. Say not I cannot give this one up, I cannot give that up, I cannot do this. Thus saith the Lord, thou shalt look back on all these things, for in all these things one day thou shalt say in thy heart, I have forsaken my own way and walked the way of the Lord. Thank You, O God, that Thou didst cause me to forsake my own way and walk in Thy way.") TYL! Amen.
THAT ALSO IS A WARNING TO YOU NOT TO DISOBEY THE LORD! God's given us a lot of encouragement and blessings tonight, and He leaves you with a warning that you'd better obey, you had better do what He told you do and walk in His way. TYL! And remember when that persecution comes, when the officers do lay hold on you and the authorities do grab you and things like that do happen, don't resent it. Remember, God won't let a thing happen to you but what He has designed and ordered it to happen. So remember, it's God, God is doing it to you for His glory, amen? Praise God!
YOU KNOW, I HAD A WONDERFUL LITTLE SOMETHING FROM THE LORD WHEN WE WERE PRAISING THE LORD SO MUCH A MOMENT AGO. I could hear James over here, former robber and burglar praising the Lord like an old time saint! I was thinking, Lord God, I haven't heard praises like this amongst saints that have been saints many years! And instantly the Scripture came by the Spirit, I believe it's in Isaiah, "I have called them to be a people which were no people!" (Weeps.) Hallelujah! TYL! "I have called them to be a people which were no people!" We're nothing, you're nothing, but He's making a people out of you. Praise God? TYL! (Ho.2:23 ; Ro.9:25 ; 1Pe.2:10 .)
WELL, WE COULD JUST STAY HERE and WORSHIP THE LORD ALL NIGHT, but we do have guests coming and we're supposed to open up and we're got to think of others too. So I suggest maybe we sit down now and pass around these gifts that we have over here. Do you want to sing the Lord's Prayer? Hallelujah! (Everyone sings the Lord's Prayer.)
(P.S. 1981: AMEN! PTL! TYJ! Thank God for those good ol' days! -- The glorious days of days of our beginnings! TYJ! -- And for the still more glorious days of today! -- and the most glorious days yet to come! Hallelujah! TYJ! It's all of You, Lord! "Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven!" -- Amen? PTL! GBY and help you to continue to fulfil those great visions of Heavenly power and glory on Earth through your witnessing for Jesus from now till Kingdom come! -- Amen? Hallelujah! TYJ! For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever! -- In Jesus' name, amen! -- Amen? -- Amen! -- ILY!)
My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom.

If you like this website, you can show your appreciation by sending me a gift toward my support. My wife Tess and I moved from the island of Guam USA in June 2023 to the city of Allen in the province of Northern Samar, one of the poorer provinces in the Philippines. My only work is maintaining my websites, Deep Truths, and James Japan which costs me $300 per year now. And Tess is ministering to the local people giving them regular Bible Studies in three groups, children, teenagers and adults.
You may like my James Japan site as well because it covers subjects that are not covered in Deep Truths such as things like the Climate Change Hoax and the COVID-19 death-jabs.
