The Death and Burial of ASAP Part 1

Hello, Everyone!!

It has been a while but I'm back! It's only through the grace of God that I'm here. I have been missing in action for a long time and it's nobody's fault but my own. Recently, Apostle Red preached a message called "Stay On the Wall." He described how we stopped working on the wall. That was me, Saints! I stopped. I got off the wall. God can give you assignments and so many times we get lazy or complacent. God chastens those he loves and I know he loves me. I thank God for correction and forgiveness. I am in awe of him, Saints. It is my pleasure to share this Word with you today. I hope you're ready...let's get started!!

The Messenger: Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn

We are launching further around the world and deeper in God and his care. That is the main thing. There's no need for me to reach around the world if I don't reach deeper in God. You've got to give yourself to God first. In cleanliness and holiness, we've got to give ourselves to God. Without cleanliness and holiness, God can't use us.

I want to say I bless God for the Apostles -- Apostle Red, Prophetess Shawonna, and Apostle Quanterrius and the word they preached. Listen, Saints, I took my time and went over each message and mediated on them. Apostle Red taught the message about "Stay On The Wall" and shared his testimony of how he came off the wall. A lot of us wouldn't dare share the things he shared with us and that's because we're not free like we need to be. We all know how it is to stop and to give up, refuse to push further, or turn your back on God. But like he said, you've got the tools in your hand...get back on the wall.

Prophetess Shawonna explained why we got off the wall in her message. The Lord showed her that our spiritual focus was off. So there's no way you can see in the spirit clearly if you aren't focused. She explained that we have to apply the Word of God in our lives to maintain that focus.

I'm just witnessing the word that has been preached. Even the message Apostle Quanterrius preached was right on time. God ordained that message. The enemy has been fighting ever since he preached that Word. He talked about two women. The widow woman and The Shummanite woman. The widow woman is like most of us and she only wanted her miracle and had nothing for God's prophet. The Shummanite woman wanted nothing from God but she only wanted to serve the man of God. She poured out everything for God! What are you willing to pour out? What are you willing to do for the Kingdom? Our countenance shouldn't go dark when God brings up giving or paying your tithe.

Alright, let's deal because God is taking us somewhere. God sent every single message that came and is letting us know that the Holy Ghost is knocking on our doors today. I'm going to show you what the Lord showed.

Let's look at 1 Samuel 25: 4-12.

It reads:

4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

So, Nabal had the wrong mindset. He was selfish, stingy, and against God. In essence, he said: "Who does David think he is? Who is the son of Jesse? He doesn't mean anything to me. He is trying to make himself something but he is running away from Saul. Should I take my bread and give it to him?"

Ok, let's bring Nabal's mindset to today. Some of us may be saying: "He's just a pastor, who does he think he is ? All preachers seem to want is money. I heard he was a false prophet. I don't have but ten dollars and God understands about tithing. God understands I can't give. I can't give to the wrong people I don't know if they are saved or not?"

But instead we need to be asking ourselves: What about if they are hungry or what if they have a need? That's why we have to check what we are saying because we may be speaking like a fool. If you are not willing to help God or his people then some kind of way you are against him.

Let's go to Acts 4:32-37.

Let me show you the condition of the church. In Acts 4, everybody was of one heart and one soul. Remember the spirit of God came when they had one mind and one accord.

Do you want to see some healing taking place in your house? Do you want to see some healing taking place in the church? Do you want to see some healing taking place everywhere you go? Get of one heart and one mind with God. Even within yourself, do not be double-minded. Reset yourself to seek God and go all the way for him.

Regardless of what flesh, corruption, and the devil were trying to offer the Saints in Act 4, they were together. The people took everything they had and laid it at the apostle's feet. They sought the Lord so much so until they were a real community. The community was birthed out of their communion with God. If you want to see selfishness flee get with God, with the people of God, and believe the Word.

Well, that's all for now. I love you and I'm praying for you!!!

Love Always,

Apostle Tee
