Produktbeschreibung

www.the-hijacked-mind.com Every man who falls on the Word must be broken. In the Bible, why does God insist on placing the Word on a person's heart? In the Hebrew Bible, Deuteronomy 6:6 states, "And these words... shall be upon thy heart." The KJV states, "And these words... shall be in thine heart." It is not within a person, preacher, or pastor to place divine teaching directly in the heart. All they can do is place the Word on the surface of the heart, so when God breaks the heart, the precious seed falls into the heart, producing a barn-bursting harvest, rooted in the soil of the soul. Are you broken? God cannot use you until you have been broken. If you are in your smug, self-righteous, satisfied, sanctimonious, self-contained, comfortable little box of perfume, God cannot use you, and you will never bless anyone. But when you are broken and spilled out, you will be blessed to bring the blessings of God to everyone around you. He crushes you by pulling out the lumps of imperfections and slamming you against the spinning wheel. Some of you are more lumpy than others. He then takes you and throws you into the furnace until you become cherry red, and then He takes you out of the furnace and taps you, and if you sing like a piece of clay sings when it's ready, then you are ready. But if you don't sing like a piece of clay when it's not ready, then you're not ready, and back into the furnace, you go. The Potter's work manifests the power, presence, and perfection of Jesus Christ through the crushing. He does something in you; then He does something through you, and then He does something for you. It's the rubbing that brings out the shine. It's the friction that produces the brilliance. It's the dredging that extracts the gold and the silver. It is the crushed grains that make the finest flour. It is the crushed ground that produces a rich harvest. It is the crushed olives that make the new oil. It is the crushed grapes that make the finest wines. It is the crushed rose petals that make the finest perfumes. It is the crushed heart that cries out to God. It's the crushed clouds that produce the rain. It's the crushed nucleus that produces the power of the nuclear bomb. It was the crushed dirt that became a living soul, a handful of anointed dirt walking around with the fresh breath of God. It was the crushed alabaster box that poured the oil over the head of Christ that baptized Him before He endured the cross. The alabaster box that took this woman a year of wages to earn would break it and pour it over the head of the Son of God in seconds. Until the alabaster box was broken and released its contents, it was worthless. It was the broken and crushed Peter who wept after denying his Savior. It was the crushing and the brokenness of Peter that drove him before a crowd of three thousand and preached with such a Holy-Ghost-atomic-bomb of power. Against the oyster, the rough sand produces the priceless pearl. An oyster that has not been wounded in any way cannot produce pearls. A pearl comes from a healed wound, and pearls are the product of pain. This is when an unwanted substance enters the oyster, such as a parasite, grain, or sand. Inside an oyster shell is a shiny substance called nacre. When a grain of sand enters, the nacre immediately goes to work and covers the grain of sand with layers to protect the defenseless body from the oyster, and then pearls start to form. More pearls, more valuable! More pain, more pearls! More pain, more purpose!

BOUT THE AUTHORThe Adulteress Hunts the Precious Life "...and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life."-Proverbs 6:26 (KJV) Matthew Simmons [e-mail] www.the-hijacked-mind.comChristian Author and contributor, books: The Holy Bible: The Leningrad Codex (1000 AD) and The Codex Sinaiticus (written in 400 AD), The Soldier or The Apostate, Satan's Fall, The Exorcist Deliverance Ministry Heresy, Eternal Security?, Roman Catholicism: Mystery Babylon: The Purple, Scarlet Harlot, Abusing the Lord's Name in Vain, Sin, the Leprosy of the Soul, Minutes in Hell, The Revelation of the Christ, Jesus Freaks, Three Days in the Bowels of the Earth,The Wilderness of the World, Jailhouse to Penthouse, Demonology of King James (1597), Fall of Satan, Martin Luther: The Jews and Their Lies. The Book of Revelation-Explained, The Soldier of the Cross (these individual books are made out of the chapters from the book, Hijacked, to hand out individually). Most importantly, pick up the Bible, the Word of God. Search the rich veins of the gold mine of the sacred Scripture. The Word of God holds the title deeds to your eternal soul. The Word of God is the Magna Carta of liberty and holds the promises of the diamond-jewel royalty of heaven. The devil loves to see the Word of God collect dust, year after year, and never be read, and therefore, it is powerless. The Word of God is powerless until you read it, believe it, speak it, act upon it, and live by it. For the Word of God is for all people who believe it, seek it, and read it. We need to stop debating the Word of God and start declaring the Word of God. When you hear the Word, do the Word!I was sucked into the bowels and heartbeat of this supernatural war. When God called me to this ministry, I had an LLC roofing company, and God closed that door. He wanted me to carry a cross, crucified and sanctified. This ministry has prepared me, broken me and crushed me! It has brought me down to the bowels of despair. The cross has kept me in the fetters of sweet slavery. It has crushed my pity and peacock pride. It has crushed my arrogance. It has kept me on my knees before the throne and desperate for Jesus. Crushed is the god of self on the throne of my soul. I started this ministry out of the fountain of obedience, not for glory. This ministry is a cross that I carry; it is heavy; it is weighty, and it crushes me for God's glory. Out of tragedy, He turned it into blessings; He took my old song and made it a symphony.Testimonies of what I have experienced and testimonies I hope to experience: I stood before the Lord like Isaiah. I experienced rejection like Joseph. I went through a wilderness like Job. I've warned like Noah. I was given a thorn like Paul. I saw the fallen angels described in Jude 1:6. I experienced seeing demons penned in Ephesians 6. I experienced persecution like Peter. I have experienced a born-again experience like every apostle. Lastly, I hope to be raptured like Elijah and walk with God like Enoch until I am not. This book took a lifetime to write from a story, a testimony, a ministry, and sound doctrine biblically. Share this book with people you love, people in the deepest depths of darkness, people in addictions, and anyone else in the gloomy pits and prisons, from an 8x10 room to the four corners of the Earth! Let us unite and fight this war together and be soul-winners! Don't just keep Jesus in the church house; get Him in their house! Don't keep Him in there; get Him out there! It's the last call to win the lost! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!"...behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee..."-Matthew 19:27 (KJV)
