Praise God,

I praise God, more every day for his goodness and mercies that he shows to me. I find out it does not matter if you are strong or weak, he works through us without fail, if we trust him.

I have gone through so many trials since October of 2025 and all I can say is God is faithful to be there for me. Satan can only do what God allows him to do for our growth. That is why God says, praise him in all things for it is his will at this time. We also need to praise him more and more as the time goes by, because praise is what brings the answers, My message this time is:

Beware of the Pharisees and the Sadducees 

Matthew 16:6  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

They thought he was talking about the natural  bread, so he had to explain it to them.

Matthew 16:11-12  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?  12  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven, so he had to explain  of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

We have our own thoughts of what is said, but he is saying be careful of what you listen to, because it will affect your understanding.  This is still for today.  Many are twisting the word to fit their life and want others to believe the same thing. It only takes a word or two to change the meaning of  his word. but it is not God’s word.

Matthew  2 :4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. He is telling us, to be careful  in listening  to what goes into our heart. We think we can do something that looks good,

Luke 11:35  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

This  tells us, if it is not according to God’s word, (rightly dividing the word,) don’t receive it.  It does not matter why or how good it may seem, if it is not God’s word or will, then   he is not telling you, because he does not go against his word. 

Luke 21:8  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 

Many  preachers are leading so many away from the pure word of God, to benefit themselves and to have a following to  lift themselves up to be seen of man and bring in the money. These very people want what the preacher has, not what God has for them.

1Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

We are taught be wise builders, the foundation has been laid, we must be careful how we build, according to his word, not man’s internation.  One can always find a justification for what they do, but it must be according to the word. Remember we are sealed, but a seal can be broken. One may make it into paradise, but what rewards will they receive?

1Corinthians 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

This says it all, What  we believe may be what we are taught, by good intention, but in  the end the word will testify for or against us. Remember God is merciful to forgive, but what will be the rewards that we receive?  Paradise, His Kingdom, or not at all, like the five foolish  virgins.

Galatians 5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

I love to make bread when I have the time and it only takes a little leaven to change the whole amount of dough.  That is what this is saying, a little sin will ruin your whole life. He says, no spot, wrinkle or blemish will make it in.

Titus 1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Look around you today and you will see so many justifying their lives, with the word, or leaving out part of the word. Their works deny their Godly lives and good works are  reprobate.

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

This is such a good warning to his people.  It cannot be the tradition of man, even when they give you scripture, but do  not have the power.  It is easy to speak the word, but where is power?   We are all to have the power,. The power is not in the word, but is in us, who live an over coming life. The ones who quote the word, are not always the ones who have the power. Only a few have the evidence of power, but God is rising up a people who will speak with power and authority to do His work, not man’s work.

Proverbs 2:6  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. We need the Holy Ghost moving in  our lives to receive his wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the Lord.  

Proverbs 8:14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

This is what all of us should be able to say and mean it and have it also.

2Titus 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Think about this, the Lord gave us this promise of having understanding in all things, but we must listen, believe and do what he tells us to do.  We say I don’t know, then you need to learn how to listen to his voice, by learning how to wait on him.   Be still and know that I am God.

Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

We also will be called in question, who or what do we believe?

I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors.

Praise the Lords Saints, 

May God get all the glory, for what He has taken me through the last four months with my health and problems, one after the other.  God is faithful to us even when going through trials, he would also perform little miracles for me. I can’t praise God enough, for my son Paul, who has been there for me and for those who prayed for me.

We have had some very bitter cold days and nights. One morning we got up to 3 degrees, but felt like 20 below, but very little snow this year. This time I would like to speak about salvation.

Now is the Day of Salvation

2 Corinthians 6:2  For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Today, whoever you are or wherever you are and have not been saved or do not know Jesus Christ, now is the time to search and ask God to reveal him to you. He said, he succored you, meaning He has helped you or will help you to find him.  

John 19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

When he died and rose again on the third day and before he ascended, he told his disciples to wait for the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues. When you receive the Holy Ghost there will be a manifestation of tongues. This is the evidence that Jesus Christ now lives in you. This is the Holy Ghost that will lead you into all truth.  You do not receive it when you get saved.  People were asked have you received since you believed.  If the apostles had to receive it then we must receive speaking in tongues.

1 Corinthians  6:20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

He bought us with the price by shedding his blood and to died, to pay for our sins and to redeem us. We truly belong to him. There has not been anyone die for you and rise again to buy you back, except JESUS CHRIST. That is why we  must glorify God in our body and  spirit. This is why the enemy would like to destroy us, before God can save us.

2 Corinthians 4:11  For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 

This is why Satan is always after us, to try and destroy us, so we will not be able to be his testament of what Jesus Christ can do in us, when we have the Holy Ghost, we have his power to resist Satan and come under the protection of Jesus Christ. We have power over all the enemy tries to do.

Psalms 18:6  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Listen to what he is saying, when you are in distress you can call upon the LORD, and cry unto God, and he will hear you, because your cry goes to the ears of God. Praise God, no man or other god can do this for us, but we must be purchased and receive the Holy Ghost for the power.

Psalms 69:13  But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Psalms, tells us it is an acceptable time of the Lord for his multitude of mercy in the truth of his salvation. We need to be in prayer so we can know his truth to be prepared for what is coming.

Micah 7:7-9  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.  8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.  9  I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

Praise God, if we look unto the Lord and wait for the God of our salvation, he will hear us. Let not the enemy rejoice when I fall, because I will rise again and when I sit in darkness he will be my light. If I sin against him, I will bear the indignation of the LORD, but he will plead my cause and he will execute judgement for me. He will bring me into the light, and I will behold his righteousness.

Isaiah 49:8-11  Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;  9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.  10  They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.  (11)  And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

Page 3

In the acceptable time he has heard us and in a day of salvation he will help us and will preserve us and will give us for a covenant for the people, so he can establish the earth and cause us to inherit our heritage, so we can also say go forth to them in darkness. To show ourselves, to those that are in darkness, show yourselves, then they shall feed in the way, and their pastures shall be in all high places and they no longer will thirst, neither heat nor sun be there.  He will lead them by springs of water   and guide them.  He will take all his mountains away and his highways shall be exalted. This is what he will do, for those who have the Holy Ghost and let him guide them.

3 Jonn 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

He wants us to prosper above all things, that we may prosper in our health even as our soul prospers.  So even our health depends on our soul, but we will be testes and tried.

I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors.

Dear Saints, 

Praise the Lord one more time for his goodness and mercy. We had a horrible Christmas with Covid.  We are just now getting back to normal.  The hospital was a piece of cake compared to this experience.  Thanks again for all the prayers and concerns again.  I am so glad, that I know my Savior Jesus Christ and his peace while going through what God is taking me through and thank God for Paul, wouldn’t have made it without him.  He had to do some of the cooking,  I was just too weak, but here we are back to almost normal.  I often wonder how people make it that don’t know Jesus.

I would like to talk about living the life that God has for us to live.

Living the Life, He Purchased for Us 

Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

The dwelling place of God is where Jesus is, The Throne Room. We can be there according to this scripture, but we must allow God to quicken us. Walking in complete obedience to His will and His word, for he is the word.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.  Christ is seated by the Father, where all power and dominions are seated, and if we are obedient to him, we can sit there also.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. He says even the rocks will cry out, if we don’t .If he made us, then he knows how to shape us into what he desires us to be. 

Page 2

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. We have access to all that Jesus has, we are in him and taken to the same place. He says we have need of nothing, why because his fullness can be our fullness, by obeying his spirit, not what we think or feel.

Ephesians 1:20-23  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  22   And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,  23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Examine ourselves, are we living in heavenly places? Far above all principalities’, power, might and dominion and every name that is named. This is the only way we win the battle, surrender ourselves to the Spirit. When we walk in perfect peace, we are walking in the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: This doesn’t say he is going to, but he has already done it, but we must believe it.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. We will each have our own place, ready for when we get there. In the mean time we can live an overcoming life, here on this earth, because of the Holy Ghost,

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

To have these blessings, we must be seated with him, in heavenly places.   C. S. Lewis said, “the greatest enemy to the church is contented worldliness.” The promises are for now, even though we see wickedness.

Ephesians 1:17-19  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

Just think, we have these blessing now, if we believe and live a surrendered life to Christ through the Holy Ghost.  He is everything. 

2 Corinthian’s 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

The day you cry out to God, there must be more, will be your awaking day. You say you love Jesus, but are you experiencing the throne room life? He basically does the work; you just have to yield and be obedient to his spirit.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Page 3

The Greek word for living, suggests life-long an abiding commitment, a sacrifice that is life-long. Not what we want or think to do, knowing that we are wrong. It is his mercies.

Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  The word tells us that if he is alive in us, we cannot sin, unless we over- ride his spirit.

Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Not his or our will, but God his Father’s will, because only he knows our hearts.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. If our eyes are what we see, then we must be careful that our eyes are only upon him, no one else.  Being careful about what we watch on TV or even listen to, because it will come through in your spirit. We must have a single eye that reaches out for the Holy Spiri and lean on the Holy Spirit and don’t compromise.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, when ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. We must become the same way, as we are taught of God according to his word.

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  I know we do not want to suffer and the enemy tells us we shouldn’t have to, if we serve God, but he learned obedience through suffering. He also said, if you rule with me you must suffer with me.

Hebrews 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. We know that he can be trusted, when we walk in obedience.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. This says all things, not some things, are working for our good.  The enemy says, how can this be, but God flips it in the end for our good.

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. He considers this reasonable, not special.  He expects this of us.  To live and rejoice in whatever we are going through.  We say, but you don’t understand what I am going through.  Jesus knows this is what it takes to make us into his image. It is true whether we like it or not.  I want to be like Him.  Praise God.

Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances. 

Love in Christ, Rev. Wanda Rust
