What the LORD Requires
Before I start this message I must say as the book of Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Micah 6:1.. Hear ye now what the Lord saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. (a mountain in scripture show two nations law and grace. ( That old Israel ( law) was all time of complaining and arguing with God and would not hear anything he had to say.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
(Hear in Micah 6:1-4... God is saying to someone to contend before the mountains and the hills and hear what they have to say. He has a controversy or disagreement or dispute with his people. We know as Paul said 2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. ( So God is asking these mountains and hills to listen to what is being said. God will not delevate from his word. God has to also have to have two or three witnesses. So who is the mountains and the hills strong foundations of the earth? Psalm 87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains. Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, here it shows a great city as a mountain.
Revelation 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb... 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ( so we see these rocks and mountains started with Jesus and the apostles. Now let us see when did this happen because he said to contend with thee. Acts 11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, Acts 15 King James Version (KJV)
15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

vs 3 God is getting tired of listening to the Old Israel and he says... what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? against me. God also said in Ezekiel 18:25 KJV... 25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? God said tell me what I have done and testify what I have I said. Deuteronomy 19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. Job 15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

God said in Micah 6:4... He said I brought you out of the land of Egypt. When did God do this? Deuteronomy 4:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day. ( in scripture in the OT law the inheritance went to the firstborn. But now that is changed. We all that are under grace the inheritance goes to all. Under grace, we all are an heir of God by his son Jesus Christ. 
Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Micah 6:5...5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the Lord.
God asked the question don't you remember when Joshua 5:9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
Joshua 24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
2 Peter 2:16 KJV... But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. ( here Balaam is called a prophet) KJV Joshua 13:22...Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
( here he is called a soothsayer.) Matthew 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. 
Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. 
Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
2 Timothy 3:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
I would that you all read Numbers 22 to see more. I wlll not post these scriptures but read them.
Hosea 14:9 King James Version (KJV) 9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. Church do not be like Jannes and Jambres and resist the truth and have a corrupt mind and do not be a reprobate. God is sending these messages that we do to the church

Here the questions were asked
Micah 6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
( the answer to the questions can be found in Isaiah 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Isaiah 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 
Micah 6:8... 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (We can also see in Isaiah 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.)

Micah 6:9... The Lord's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. ( The voice of the is crying and the man of wisdom shall see his name. Now I will ask you a question. Who is the man of wisdom that will see his name? also, who is the rod that he wants them to hear? Mat. 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? The book of Matthew and Mark saying the same thing. Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 
Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. ( So that is more than enough to show the man of wisdom. So let's see about the rod that he said to hear. Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; Rev 12: 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. ( speaking of Jesus) Rev. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. ( again speaking of Jesus. When will the man of wisdom shall see thy name? Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus 
Luke 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Micah 6:10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? ( the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked is what these pastors say. Bring the tithes or a 1/10 of your hard earned money to the storehouse. Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ( these thieves are people that accept money for the work of God. Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (scant measure is showing these pastors etc. spending for money for things not needed. Such as a fancy building and a fancy house with 2 or more fancy cars sitting in their fancy yard. A jet that they fly to go wherever and so much more. I must say this. The people of the church is just as guilty as the pastor. They allow him to do this and agree with him.

Micah 6:11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
People you are sitting in a church listening to someone that is Deliberately misleading or deceiving his sheep. 
The question was asked, "Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?" ( Well let's see the answer in scripture)
Proverbs 11:1 King James Version (KJV)
11 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
Proverbs 20:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord. 
Proverbs 20:23 King James Version (KJV)
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.
Hosea 12:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
This sums it up and the answer is No he will not count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?"

Micah 6:12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. ( who are these rich men that the scripture is talking about? Once again let the scripture speak for itself? Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:Isaiah 3:8 King James Version (KJV)
Isaiah 3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory. Jer. 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord. Jer. 3:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 14:14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Micah 3:6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. People, once again you have been warned and it makes no difference if you read this message or not. The trumpet has sounded.

Micah 6:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins. ( with that let me add Leviticus 26:16 King James Version (KJV)
Leviticus 26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. Psalm 107:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

Micah 6:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword. ( The people must be satisfied with what they are eating because they are eating spoiled meat which is not good for the body. Isaiah 9:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: ( They are glutting the meat which they are getting. They are eating the flesh of a false jesus. For the people that do not know the sword is; Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ( so the word of God is the sword)

Micah 6:15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people. ( What were the statutes of Omri? I did not know what they were either but I found out. Omri was in 1Kings 16:23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirza 25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him. ( as I see Omri is a shadow and types the church system of today. Omri is a masculine noun which makes it spiritual. The church is a reproach and a shame to God and the true Jesus and his words.
