Old Dog V
THE RESIDUE OF THE PEOPLE
Bob Neumann
Dear WPA,
It is time to move on.
By now most of you have figured out that this “old dog” does not like NICOLAITINS. By this time you should realize that THE LAMB OF GOD hates them and their teachings. THE KING OF GLORY has no use for those WICKED SERVANTS who abuse the sheep and the servants in HIS HOUSE.
Now anyone who is a “member” of THE WPA should have known what a NICOLAITIN is….being either a WATCHMAN or a PROPHET requires that you know you were called by THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. Again Isaiah 61…THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN GOD is upon me…has anointed me…
Likewise Paul instructed us in his letter to Timmy…
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
All the WPA should be STUDENTS…DIVIDING the WORD of TRUTH. Somewhere along the line you should have read/studied Revelation 2 and 3 and picked up on NICOLAITINS and BAALAM…isure know you throw old JEZEBELL around easy enough.
So let’s get away from all the BABBLINGS that are unproductive…useless…and will help no one in the days ahead.
Yesterday Stephen Bening and i spoke by phone and he told me to just let the “fur fly”. Many will not understand where THE REMNANT is going, or why. Many will find reason to be offended ….that will prove that they have problems only THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT can help them with.
You see…our ultimate GOAL is to be dead in CHRIST. To have taken our cross and let ourselves get nailed to it for all to see. Naked and bleeding for all to see. That is our goal.
Don’t like it…tough…
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
We are all in this process PAUL is talking about. By grace we are being changed…not by works. DEAD MEN/WOMEN do not get OFFENDED. DEADMEN and DEADWOMEN have only one goal, to please THE FATHER. And the last thing we want to do is to FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD. That is what THE NICOLAITINS DO…and they do it quite well.
So let’s get beyond that and see what we are supposed to be doing…here and now.

Gifts and Offices
Because Paul lists the offices in Ephesians 4 as essential to the BODY “coming together” and will be “equipped”. Yet in 1 Corinthians 12 OFFICES and GIFTS sort of MERGE….
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
SOOOOO….let’s expand the OFFICES beyond “THE FIVE-FOLD” pattern that predominates present thinking…
FIRST APOSTLES…
SECOND PROPHETS…
THIRD TEACHERS…
FOURTH WORKER OF MIRACLES…
FIFTH HEALERS…
SIXTH HELPERS/HOSPITALITY/WORKERS(?)…
SEVENTH GOVERNMENT….sometimes ADMINISTRATIONS…
EIGHTH DIVERSITY OF TONGUES…or maybe.. LANGUAGES as in ACTS 2:4-16.
So call it EIGHT FOLD MINISTRY…and notice a missing office? No PASTORS…
any thoughts?

MANY ARE CALLED
Dear WPA,
It has now been about a week since i tried to bring fourth an image of a functioning ASSEMBLY OF SAINTS. I use the term “functioning” because the BRIDE OF CHRIST IS ALIVE. ACTIVE. During this time there have been quite a few posts placed upon the WPA. Some of them deal with THE GIFTS and THE OFFICES that are mentioned in the writings of both Peter and Paul. No one has actually come out and said that the “offices” and “gifts” are really non-existant in much of the world today. Maybe someone should have.
When i began this “journey” i started with a quote from THE RED LETTERS…”MANY ARE CALLED….FEW ARE CHOSEN”. I left out a little 3 letter word, a conjunction, it joins MANY with FEW. WE are all CALLED. Make no doubt about that. But exactly what have you as an individual been called to. None of the scriptures i have shared with you should be foreign to any on the WPA.
In the STORY of THE WEDDING BANQUET we see THE KING. HIS SON HAS MADE THINGS READY. THE KING DECIDES THAT “””NOW””” the TIME is READY…the BANQUET is PREPARED.
So what does HE DO… ONE…HE SENDS OUT HIS SERVANTS…. TWO…TO BRING THOSE GUESTS INVITED LONG AGO. BUT THEY DO NOT COME…more on this later.
THREE…SERVANTS GO OUT EVERYWHERE AND “”COMPEL”” ALL TO COME TO THE BANQUET. One man is thrown out because he refuses to be garbed in what THE KING GAVE TO ALL.
FOUR…THE ARMY GOES OUT AND BURNS THE CITY of the #2 people.
So in all there are 5 specific parts here. Anyone ever notice that the STORY NEVER mentions the NEWLYWEDS?
FIRST is THE KING’S SERVANTS…those that probably did the work on the banquet. They went out eagerly to the SECOND GROUP…who had no intent at going. And were nasty to THE KING’S SERVANTS.
The THIRD GROUP are those sent out to find the FOURTH GROUP who are RUSHED in at THE LAST MINUTE. But we see a problem where THE ROBES OF RIGHTIOUSNESS are ignored …man wants his own garments. Check the LETTER to LAODICEA and get a clue.
And finally there is the ARMY THAT GOES FORTH TO DESTROY…BURN…the CITY of our #2.
Many are called….few chosen.
As watchmen we should understand this clearly. Isaiah 62…GOD SAYS “”MY WATCHMEN”” …HIS POSESSIONS. As prophets again we should understand this clearly. Ezekiel 3. GOD CHOOSES. No man can.
THE OFFICES are GIVEN…THE GIFTS are GIVEN…for a PURPOSE.
IF THE PURPSE IS TO PERFECT/EQUIP THE SAINTS TO DO HIS MINISTRY…why is it so hard?
IN THE KING’S HOUSE we first see SERVANTS. BEING AN OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, ETERNAL and HOLY GOD one might figure HE HAS a pretty good structure of how things are done…when things are done…and who is to do them.
ALL HE NEEDS ARE MAN AND WOMEN who want to serve HIM…and only HIM. Many may say it…look at those who knew about the wedding and were not going. But few desire to serve….to be the least in THE KINGDOM.
So why is it so hard?
Why do we not see MIRACLES and HEALINGS all the time? Why do “so called believers” make bad choices day in and day out when WORDS of WISDOM and WORDS of KNOWLEDGE should be anticipated. Where can i find GODLY government and administration? SOUND MANAGEMENT of GIFTS AND OFICES.
On “Christian” TV?
In your local MEGA>>>cough…cough…cough<<<<?
From denominations? or maybe where just two are actually GATHERED in HIS NAME?
Any thoughts?
Any complaints?
Any signs of anything?
