THE DOOR OF THE CHOSEN CANNOT BE CLOSED 27 August 2020

You and I were talking about the sinner’s prayer yesterday, which has been marketed as some sort of a packaged merchandise.

While the sinner’s prayer is a valid instrument, and there’s no doubt about it that I have used it, but it has been abused by many evangelists, and we’ll talk about that later.

The Old Testament people did not have the sinner’s prayer.

If you say that you are trusting your life to Jesus, is that the same thing as you giving your life to Jesus?

This is item #1 today:

Trusting in the Lord is the same as the sinner’s prayer.

I want to reserve that teaching for those of you who are at the Mount of Transfiguration, who have a higher level of understanding because we are part of the chosen few.

Once you say, “I’m trusting Jesus”, that also says, “I’ve given my life to Him, and I’m committed to a life of righteousness, and I’m committed to a life of the Lord God being my savior, and His name is Jesus.”

That is the very same as the sinner’s prayer.

So, in the last forty years, many have been covered by the blanket teaching we have done of trusting in the Lord, which is as powerful as the sinner’s prayer.

This is item #2 today:

We want to be able to search the scriptures for the information and prophecy that has been put within the book of Revelation and the prophecy of Jesus and the parables that Jesus taught.

We are going to go back to Matthew’s gospel chapter 25, Matthew’s gospel chapter 14, Luke’s gospel chapter 14, and others, because Jesus is proficient with parables, and within them we will discover the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, and the new heaven and the new earth that is prophesied to come into being in Revelation 21:1.

This is item #3 today:

There has not been a major Hamite messenger to the people of God. For instance, God sent Moses to the Jews which was built out of the great Abraham prophecy.

And then in Acts 9, Paul the apostle was sent to the Gentiles.

So, the Jews are covered, and the Japheth are covered, but the Hamites have not had a major messenger.

So those are the 3 items we are going to look at today:

1. Trusting in the Lord is the same as the sinner’s prayer.

2. Look at the prophecy within the book of Revelation and the prophecy of Jesus and the parables that Jesus taught.

3. There has not been a major Hamite messenger to the people of God.

What we want to make the affirmation that the five foolish virgins we talked about yesterday did not make it into the wedding ceremony because the Bridegroom closed the door because they weren’t ready when He came.

In Matthew’s gospel 25:1-12, He closed the door and five virgins got in and five did not get in.

We used that as a demonstration that the door of salvation could potentially be closed, and we used that as an example that you just don’t get a second chance.

The Bible says to work while it is day because the night cometh when no man can work. John 9:4

When the five foolish virgins knocked on the door, there was no mercy shown to them, and when God closed the door of the ark, there was no mercy shown to those on the outside.

Jesus said, “Get away from Me, I never knew you.”

You will never find this teaching in some churches. They will never tell you that Jesus turned people away and said to get away from my door. They want you to believe that Jesus will never turn anyone away, and yet that is not what the scriptures teach.

I want to talk to you about my Elijah anointing and I want to talk to you about the bastardization of the gospel. For instance, most of the popular ministries today would never tell you that Jesus will close the door on you, and you can beg all you want, but He’s not letting you in.

Either you do it now while the door is open and while the time is right, or there will not be any mercy for you.

If pastors don’t tell you that Jesus will close the door on you and your children, then they are lying, and deceiving, and they are fleecing you.

Matthew 25:1-12

We need to understand that this loopidy doopidy, skip to the Lou, love everybody, merciful Jesus that you hear marketed in many of these major churches that it isn’t true. It’s a lie and they are fleecing you.

I now want to say however that the door of the chosen cannot be closed.

Being chosen, like Peter, James, and John, were chosen to go up on the Mount of Transfiguration, or like all twelve of the disciples that were chosen to be disciples, and not just Christians.

So, the door of the chosen cannot be closed.

In Revelation 3:8: I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

If you have been chosen by God since the foundation of the earth, you need to know that your salvation and your foundation cannot be disturbed.

In other words, we want to search the scriptures because in them we find the mysteries of the kingdom of the new heaven and the new earth.

As one that has been chosen, Almighty God has set our path.

It doesn’t mean that the called people are not loved by God, but for the chosen, Almighty God has set before us an open door, and no man can shut it.

The door will not be closed, and we will not miss our opportunity and we will not be caught sleeping.

Think about something that David said. While David may not have had the privilege of understanding the New Testament ideas that we are now expressing, David said the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside still waters, He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His names sake; Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me; Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (23rd Psalm)

That is the ultimate statement of the chosen.

Psalms 23 is the ultimate statement of who we are. The Lord is our Shepherd. Yea thou we walk in the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil.

The rod is the word of God. The staff is the bread of God. They comfort us.

You have heard me say that I will never beg bread and I will never be defeated.

The thing is that those of us that have been chosen of God were chosen before we were born, and we were chosen before we committed acts of right or wrong.

The scriptures teach that the chosen of God are chosen before they are born. For instance, Jeremiah was chosen before he was born.

If we have been chosen by God, no one can keep us out of the presence and power of God.

Now we can choose to fool around and not do the right thing, but I believe that God Almighty has called me to teach this lesson.

And some say, “Well, you need to stop railing against Billy and Franklin Graham”, because they were not at the level that you are. They are very good at milk teaching, which is the sinner’s prayer.

I only rail against them if they lie, and they fleece.

I’m not holding them responsible for what they don’t know, but I am holding them responsible for using the sinner’s prayer as a marketing tool, just like the Pentecostals use speaking in tongues as some sort of a marketing tool.

They use the sinner’s prayer and tongue talking just to get people to their meetings. That’s what I condemn.

The Lord has called me to understand and to know mysteries.

The prophet Isaiah said that God has given me the tongue of the learned. (Isaiah 50:4)

God has not given that to everyone.

The level that we are teaching now as to those that are chosen because others will not understand it.

Psalm 23 says that I cannot lose, I will never beg bread, and I will never be defeated.

Read Psalms 23 because it outshines the sinner’s prayer. Don’t let these churches tell you to throw the Old Testament away. Oh Lord have mercy!

The door cannot be closed on the chosen.

You might be in the valley right now, but you’re not dead, and God will comfort you.

Jesus said no man can shut the door that I have set before you. Rev. 3:8. But that is not for the called, because many are called, but it is for the chosen, because few are chosen. Matt.22:14.

Noah had 3 sons, from Shem came Abraham and Moses. Out of Japheth came Paul the apostle. And Ham went and served both. So, the access to God for the Hamite, without a major messenger, was to get his relationship with God from Japheth and from Shem. As he served those two brothers, he would get his relationship with God, but he had no major messenger of his own.

This is a very important theological perspective.

There is not and never has been a major prophet to the Hamite people. There’s not one in the Bible, and there hasn’t ever been one.

We know that Moses went to the Jews and Paul went to the Gentiles, but no one has been sent to the Hamites.

The Hamites were able to retrieve and receive their religious training and teaching from the Jews, through Shem, and from the Gentiles, through Japheth but serving them.

Historically, Africans came to know Jesus and Moses through serving as slaves.

Paul was sent to the Gentiles and all up and down Asia Minor, and in Galatia, and Philippi, and Corinth, and Laodicea, and Rome, and every other place, but you cannot name one prophet that went down into Africa. Not one. You cannot name any biblical history that shows any different.

Moses went down into Egypt, and I will do a teaching on Egypt, and the Nile River, and the pyramids.

Paul was everywhere to the Gentiles, or the white people, but nobody went down to Africa to the black people.

The Hamites and Canaanites were chosen for service (cursed), but now God is using them as the last, and remember that Matthew 20:16 says that the first shall be last and the last shall be first.

The Hamites, who are the last, shall be first, and that’s where I come in and Harlem comes in and the fact that I am the Lord’s servant.

So, now that we have that understanding, I am compelled by God, with the 23rd Psalm anointing, I am compelled by God to move in the direction that He leads because God chose me before I was born, and God chose me before I picked cotton in North Carolina.

And that is why I am compelled to speak as I speak.

It’s urgent that I don’t fail the people of God.

Matthew 3:15: And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

It is urgent that you and I fulfill all righteousness.

So, it’s urgent that I be James David Manning, and it is urgent that I preach ATLAH, and it is urgent that the axis of the tribulation rests on the fact that I move forward without turning to the right or to the left, and that I carry the mantle that the last shall be first.

It’s urgent that I validate the Old Testament as the authentic word of God, and that I validate Jesus as the son of God, and that I validate slavery as God’s plan, and that God will give me the heart to speak in such a way that one day the Hamite’s will rejoice that they were slaves in America.

It is my God that fits me with a heart and an anointing that one day men and women will rejoice that they were slaves and one day they will understand that it was all the plan of God, and we are thankful to Him that the last shall be first.

God called us into slavery before we were formed in our mother’s womb.

That God would let me speak such majesty and such power, and that God would bring the Hamites and the Japheths together as we march into the 1000-year reign of peace, and towards a new heaven and a new earth.

The Jew, the Gentile, and the Hamite will all march together into the 1000-year reign of peace.

I’m the Lord’s servant. O, praise God!

Trust in the Lord supersedes the sinner’s prayer. That’s right.

I trust the Lord with all thine heart. That’s better than the sinner’s prayer. I’m not saying to throw the sinner’s prayer out.

The sinner’s prayer is good, but trusting in the Lord with all thine heart, leaning not upon my own understanding, and in all my ways acknowledging Him, that’s a thousand times better.

We thank God that the church itself will not be torn down, but one day the door will be closed. We need to be mindful of that.

You need to decide now to put your talents to use. Some of you’ll need to decide to come to this church, and if you can’t do it physically, you need to do it with a united spirit of truth and love. You can become a member, because the time is going to come that you run out of time.

Matthew 25:14-30: ¹⁴ For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

¹⁵ And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several abilities; and straightway took his journey.

¹⁶ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other five talents.

¹⁷ And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

¹⁸ But he that had received one went and digged in the earth and hid his lord’s money.

¹⁹ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

²⁰ And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

²¹ His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²² He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

²³ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

²⁴ Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

²⁵ And I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

²⁶ His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

²⁷ Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

²⁸ Take therefore the talent from him and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

²⁹ For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

At some point I am going to be telling people about Harlem, and I do not want to get ahead of the Lord, but I know in my spirit that I am going to be calling people to come to Harlem to help manage it.

People with various types of skills, such as lawyers, architects, and builders.

When we build the Arch of the Middle Passage, I want to have a stone from every nation in Africa, and a stone from every continent, including Antarctica.

If you don’t use your talent, you are going to lose it.

The job that God gives you may seem small, but if you will do that job faithfully, then one day God will elevate you.

The Lord is saying that we don’t get a second chance or mercy.

I’ve got a lot more teaching to do, and I thank God that the door of the chosen will never be closed.

And I want you to read Psalm 23 as the chosen’s prayer and Proverbs 3:5-6 and read them both every day.

I have a whole lot more to teach so I pray for strength.
