Jeremiah 6:10, "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not hearken."

Many of God's people are standing at the crossroads spiritually. They know the truths of the old path, but find themselves not fully persuaded to go back to them. There is a new path carved out by man that they have embraced. The Spirit of God is calling His people to come back to the paths He ordained many generations ago. Through the years many "spiritual waves" have come through the body of Christ. Some from God and some from man. The "waves" of man have come to exalt flesh. Man says he has seen a vision, writes a book, and declares God spoke to him. Those who are anchored in God's word however, will not totally rely on man. They will try the spirits and see if they are of God or not. (1 John 14: 5) God's people must be fully persuaded in their own minds, after confirmation from the Bible, as to what is the right path. Never trusting man alone as the authority. (Romans 14: 5)

God's Word is in the old path; it is life and gives us spiritual life. The Holy Ghost takes the word of God and creates a new spiritual life in us. Men’s books have no life in them, they may bless and inspire but they do not create life. We are judged by God's living word. Deut. 4: 2 declares that we are to not add to or take away from them. The bottom line is all that alters the Word of God is in deep trouble.

1 Corinthians 1: 17. We need to preach the gospel according to God’s Word and not according to human words, lest the cross of Christ has no power. The cross was the final altar of sacrifice for mans sins. We must go back to the cross, that is the starting place of our journey to our heavenly home.

Blood of Jesus....

God has required a blood sacrifice for redemption. It was animals until the Lamb of God, Jesus His Son, was sacrificed. (Hebrews 10)

The Holy Ghost creates God's Word in our soul and spirit, as stated in John 3: 5 - 8. We then are brand new creatures in Christ Jesus. Flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. (1 Corinthians 15: 50)

A path that gets the ear of the Father and Son, is confession of sin and sorrow of repentance that ushers in the forgiveness of the Father. Pride has kept many from this path.

The person of the Holy Ghost who is our Divine Teacher and His ministry is a must for God's people. He dwells in the path of righteousness with the Father and the Son. Many are allowing a mixture of the heavenly wine and flesh. Flesh and the Spirit of God does not mix because the Holy Ghost will depart.

Path of worship…

Worship has split into many paths. Some things called worship to God are false worship. Jesus tells us what is true worship, in John 4: 21 - 24.

God is calling His people back to the old paths of fear and reverence of God’s Holy wisdom. I struggled with this message until a lady sent me a prayer and said "God help Juanita tell it like it is". Then the Holy Ghost sent me to Isaiah 58:1, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions and sins." I then, was loosed from my struggling and the Holy Ghost began to reveal what He wanted said.

We are the voice of God, speaking His word, calling all who knows the old path to come back. Those who handle the Word of God will give an account how we handle it. This is not a message to the world, but a message to God's own. A call from God to go back to the old paths that God ordained for His people to walk in, for they are the paths that lead to our Eternal Home.
