Master of the House by PM 276

Your home is your castle. Your Father wants you to be happy and content in your home. He also expects you to be in control of your home, if you are the head of the household. All of the above can be yours, if you allow the overall Master of the house to rule your home. Lets begin our study in the Book of John. John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. Jesus is telling us that you dont have to be troubled. Life is far too short to waste your time being troubled. John 14:2 In My Fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

The word mansions in this verse means your resting place. Isnt that what your house is for? Whether you live in a one room apartment or a grand estate, you are supposed to find rest there. And you will, if you do things Gods way. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

You can abide with Jesus right now. That, my friends, is where you may find true rest. Jesus is about to promise the Holy Spirit, or the Comforter. There are other spirits in the world. Some of them evil. You have power over those evil spirits (Luke 10:18-19). Skip to verse 21. John 14:21 He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth
Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. 22. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

Jesus is able to manifest Himself to you through the Holy Spirit. It isnt a matter of faith for most of you. You have no doubt that Jesus exists, for He abides within you. You can feel the Holy Spirit touching your heart.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My
words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.

The word abode in this verse in the Greek language is the same as mansions in verse 2. There is no reason for you to be troubled when our Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit live with you in your house. That is a promise from Jesus Christ, if you keep His Word. That is quite a comfort. Let Father be the Master of your house. Lets turn to Matthew as we continue our study.

Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his
lord.

The student can not be better than the teacher. Our Teacher is Jesus Christ. The world hated Jesus. The world will hate you, if you are serving Him. You can expect it. Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the
servant as his lord, If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how more shall they call them of his household?

They called Jesus Beelzebub which means lord of the flies. Do you think they will talk nice about His servants? Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not
be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

There is a day of judgment coming. Absolutely nothing escapes our Fathers knowledge. They will pay. Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

At this time, the elect are to be on the housetops as watchmen warning their brethren. This verse is also instruction to the elect to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them, when they are delivered up before antichrist.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear Him Which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Dont fear them which are able to kill the flesh body. Only God is able to destroy your soul. Revere Him. MattlreW 10.29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall
not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it. How much more valuable are you to Him than a sparrow? He loves His children. Lets turn to Chapter 13. This Chapter tells us how the seedline of the tares, or Kenites, was planted in the world. Matthew 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?

The householder is the master of the house. The question is how did these bad seeds get planted. Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Matthew 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while- ye gather up the tares, ye root up also
the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

It isnt our job to destroy the tares, or Kenites, from the world. God knows there is bad seed mixed in among His children and that Satan sowed those seeds (verse 38); however, we are to leave them alone. God will take care of them in due time. Lets skip to verse 49.

Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the just, 50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The tares that havent been converted go into the lake of fire right along with their father Satan. Matthew 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They
say unto him, Yea, Lord.

52. Then said He unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. Have you understood these things? The wise master of a house receives instruction from the Old Testament and the New Testament. That is how you understand these things. Turn with me to Chapter 21 of this same Book. God has made you responsible for your house. It is your responsibility to block out trouble. He has given you the authority. Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

God created the world, and then He left us in charge. Matthew 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to
the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

That is exactly how the people of the world treated the prophets of the
Lord.

Matthew 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did
unto them likewise. 37. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

God sent prophets all the way up to John the Baptist, and then He sent His Son. Surely, they would love Him.

Matthew 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

They crucified Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son. Matthew 21.40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do
unto those husbandmen?

There is no wrong that wont be made right. The elect have a part in making things right. Be ready to take care of your responsibilities. What are you supposed to be doing? Lets turn to Chapter 24. Matthew 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what
watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

You are the master of your house. The antichrist is coming first. Will he be able to break into your home? He shouldnt be able to, if you know Gods overall plan. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the
Son of man cometh.

The seven events which must transpire before the True Messiah returns are given to us in the first part of this very Chapter. There is no excuse for not being ready. You know the false messiah comes in the sixth trump. Revelation 11 tells us of the events just three days prior to the return of the Messiah. Be prepared! Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made
ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Wise servants give the members of their household the meat of Gods Word, not milk which is meant for babes.

Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find
so doing. 47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Do you want to be blessed? Feed your household meat. Matthew 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming, 49. And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

If God has given you eyes to see and ears to hear, you had better share what you have been given with others. Time is getting short. Help others see the truth. Matthew 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not
for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

If you dont watch and stay focused, you may end up worshipping a lord other than the Lord. Matthew 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Many will be very ashamed when they realize the have worshipped the antichrist. Study to increase your knowledge of Gods Word. Take charge of your home. Dont allow Satan and his to beat you up day in and day out. Be the master of your house! In His Service, Arnold Murray
