Let us lead off with prayer as always; Lord let us come to where you need us to be in righteousness and holiness according to thy word to us from your Holy Spirit which will lead us and guide us into all truths; just as you have declared to those who follow you with a pure heart; those Lord who think not of their own lives Lord but in serving you and your gospel Lord, will be those you call home; we who have been faithful working in your fields of harvest, just as you instructed us to do Lord! We thank you for your word which is your grace to us and how you have enlightened us in revelation to know how it is we must be, in order for us to find ourselves approved of by you Lord; not by this world standards Lord but according to thy will as a Father instructs His children, you have given us what we need to know to keep us out of all harm and the snares of this world and Satan its master! We give you all thanksgiving, honor, and praise Lord; as we enter into your word today Lord, let it come into our hearts and take hold of our consciousness and sprinkle its goodness on us so we can keep your word close to us, in and always on our minds so we never lose the depth of understanding and the knowledge that it takes to know that if we put not your word to work for us and our brethren that are lost in this world; we have lost sight of what your word is really all about Lord and that is to reach the lost and dying world with your words of salvation and Love! We thank you Lord for all the gifts of the Spirit that you have bestowed on your church Lord so we can be a light on top of that hill which all the world can see in these last days, now I ask you Lord let us receive what you have for us great God so we draw off your eternal power so we never lose our preserving flavor which flows directly from under your throne, out of your throne room and directly to your children as they meditate on your word day and night and let it flow out of our bellies as your living waters: Anoint us with thy own self Lord as we go out into the highways and byways searching, trying our best to get thy house full and over flowing as you give the increase Lord! Jesus this is my prayer Lord that we will be found as good and faithful servants working in your fields of harvest when you return, and be that ready servant that will open up the door immediately at your return, no matter what time it is when you return, day or night, just so we can hear our master’s words; “Well done My good and faithful servant, you have been faithful with a few things, now I will make you lord over many; Come and sit and I will prepare a feast for you and serve you myself; that where I am you may be also!” Let us come to you now and hear what you have for us today Lord! In Jesus name we pray, Amen and Amen!

What thus sayeth the Lord?

מה כה אמר ה ‘?

Τι είπε Ούτω λέγει ο Κύριος?

Quid hæc dicit Dominus?

Many times our Lord Jesus talked to us in the Bible, using straight forward statements such as this one I will talk about in just a minute: When Jesus began His ministry just after being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit for forty days and forty nights, He was tempted (Which should be translated to be proved or to be tested by the tempter or tester!) by Satan (Which is called the Tempter or Tester or One who proves, here in verse 3. While James says Jm.1:¹³Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: ¹⁴But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. ¹⁵Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.): So the devil as used in verse 5 which means (diabolos: slanderous, accusing falsely), tested Jesus in His state of frailty of being flesh, bone, and blood: Jesus used scriptures (Which were His words to begin with, 1 Pt.1:11 & 2 Pt.1:21 is the same person just in different forms, refer to Ro.8:9; 1 Tm.3:16 & 1 Jn.5:20!), to ward off Satan’s attach of His human character and living soul, which was still housing God’s Deity that only belongs to God the Holy Spirit which is His power and Glory, Is.42:8 & 48:11: Where He says I will not give my Glory to another; Jesus showed everyone just exactly who He was in Mt.4:⁷Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Jesus hid His glory from the people most of the time so that all scripture could be fulfilled and all the glory would then be transferred to the Holy Spirit from whence it came. But beings Jesus is Lord He was not really tempted at all because He knew all things were His now and forever; Jesus knew at twelve years of age who He was as we see in Lk.2:⁴⁹And he said unto them: How is it that ye sought me: Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? Jesus was saying this to His natural mother and His adopted father, which adopted Him because the Holy Spirit adopted Joseph’s father King David and his son King Solomon, to be His perpetual Son forever to sit on the throne of Israel 2 Sam.7:14 several centuries before in Jerusalem so that He could not only be their King of kings but LORD of Lords: Both Lord and the Christ, Ac.2:36! This is the reason Jesus answered the tester, the false accuser of the brethren, the adversary, and the father of all lies; with what we all are to take to heart; which was the answer to the first test in verse four: ⁴But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Jesus told everyone He is the bread of Life that cometh down from heaven but we must be sustained by the word of God, that proceeded out of Jesus’ mouth! Jn.6:⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life! Jn.6:31-35). And this is “What thus sayeth the Lord our God!” Eternal Salvation is by the word of God, Jn.5:³⁹Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me (Your God Jesus! 1 Tm.3:16). ⁴⁰And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. ⁴¹I receive not honour from men. ⁴²But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. That our God the Holy Spirit became flesh and blood for us and died for us and you still will not walk in the light of His words! This world is doing exactly what He said they would do; ⁴⁴How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? ⁴³I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not (Which means Yashuah or Joshua which means; Yahweh, LORD is Salvation): if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Today’s world and man’s theologies, philosophies, psychologies, metaphysics, dogmas, religious rituals of vain traditions and worldly pagan festival’s designed for the merchants to sell and to drive the world to materialism and capitalism, which is lust of the flesh, the pride of life, and the lust of the eyes, 1 Jn.2:15-17 and we who are of Jesus Christ know that this whole world lies in wickedness, 1 Jn.5:¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness! And all humanity run along as if everything is just fine and dandy as they run straight for Hell! Just because they listened to some preacher tell them they are saved by faith and grace alone! Let me do as my master does by asking a question: How is it we say we are Christian’s and keep not His words of Truth by which salvation comes? Let us hope it is from ignorance to what His scriptures say; for many think because if they know not much; it will protect them from the wrath to come. I guess they are referring to: Lk.12:⁴⁷And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Well guess what, if you are going through trials and tribulations, maybe, just maybe, our Lord is trying to get your attention and get you back on the straight and narrow before it is too late for you and He just gets tired of trying to reach a degenerate heart and gives you over to your own strong delusions, which are contrary to His living Word! Hag.1:⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!

The very next verse here in Luke says this: Lk.12:⁴⁹I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? This was a verse of Judgment to come as Peter warns in 2 Pt.3:⁷But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word, are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of ungodly men. ¹⁰But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. And ¹²Looking for and hasting unto the coming of The Day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? But I tell you Jesus wanted to send the fire of Judgment on the Sanhedrin which consisted of the Pharisees and Sadducees! Jesus wanted to send that convicting fire of the Holy Ghost Baptism spoken of by John the Baptist in Mt.3:¹¹I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Every Evangelist wants a revival even Jesus; who is the greatest evangelist the world has ever seen, God in the flesh with us, Mt.1:23!!! Lk.3:¹⁶John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: ¹⁷Whose fan is in his (Jesus’) hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. And Peter knew this as well, as we saw earlier in his scriptures the Holy Spirit laid on Peter’s heart to minister to us! Peter instructed us to be found in a certain condition of being; ⁹The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹¹Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness (Meaning word and deed!), ¹²Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God ¹³Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. ¹⁴Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. ¹⁵And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ¹⁶As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. ¹⁷Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

¹⁸But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

This is the pure heart tested in the fire of this world who has repented from their sins and have turned around and put their lives in a new direction, Ac.2:40; 2 Cor.6:17-18, and have done as our Master, our King, our Eternal Father has told us to do; Jn.14:¹⁵If ye love me, keep my commandments. He told His disciples to follow Him; and that is exactly what we are to do too! Jn.14:⁶Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus was our perfect example we are to follow or we will not come to the Father! What manner of person ought we to be? Without Holiness, and Righteousness no man will see the Kingdom of God! This is why we need to have a Holy Conversion and be found with Godliness or we have missed the mark by our ignorance not knowing what the word of God has told us as Peter said of those who could not understand Paul’s testimonies to their own destruction! You see the Apostle Paul knew Jesus had told the Apostles those who hear their words and keep their words are these, Jn.8:⁴⁷He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. These are the same who find every reason in the world not to follow after scripture (This is called being contentious! Do a Bible study on that word!) and try to justify themselves by saying that they do not want to be found as being a legalist, but the Apostle Paul told us we must have works worthy of repentance, Ac.26:²⁰But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. You see all scripture is our Law; 2 Tm.3:¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. ¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: ¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. You see if we keep unto His (Jesus’) words of truth and do as instructed by Jesus; we will follow Him in all truth and in all scripture as required by Jesus Himself in Jn.15:²⁰Remember the word that I said unto you: The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. Exactly as Paul was talking about just prior to 2 Tm.3:16-17 if we abide in the truth of scripture we will find ourselves being persecuted today as well, as we look back to Paul’s writings in the same place we were earlier, 2 Tm.3:¹This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, ⁴Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; ⁵Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away!

(They preach a good song and dance and speak the gospel word for truth but they walk in the world still and are friends with it, Jms.4:4 as they continue to love this world and their lives all the more, such a one as this, cannot be a disciple of Jesus Christ, Lk.14:26-27! Because they are not bearing a cross and putting their flesh under subjection, Ro.8:1-14 by the renewing of their minds, Ro.12:1-2; or we are not being lead by the Holy Spirit but are in the flesh still so we only deceive ourselves by our own actions, Mt.7:¹⁵Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. ¹⁶Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ¹⁷Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ¹⁸A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. ¹⁹Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ²⁰Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. ²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity! This is exactly what the Apostle Paul told the Ephesus Church, Ac.20:16-38, namely this, ²⁸Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. ²⁹For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. ³⁰Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. ³¹Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. ³²And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. We must be sanctified to God and His word of His Grace; The word of God is His grace to us when we abide in it! Then He can show us His favour! This is the same thing Jesus was telling the disciples in Jn.15:1-27 that we must abide in Him and His word or we are with those that are still without and have not committed their own self to Jesus only and are headed for Hell! You cannot drink from two cups; the cup of the world called mammon, which will end in the cup of wrath, Mt.6:²⁴No man 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.

You can have the right mental attitude but without putting the flesh under subjection to our minds Will and the Holy Spirit’s Will, we are not in the truth as a true worshipper in truth and in spirit, Jn.4:24! And they that worship him *must* *worship him* (Jesus!) *in spirit* and *in truth*! Of What? The Gospel of Jesus Christ that starts at Gen.1:1 and ends at Rv.22:21, Jn.5:³⁹Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. We must come to Him and His word in order to have Him and be His servant which is a child of God! This is what the Lord’s brother the Apostle James was talking about when he said we need to have faith with works which shows our understanding of God’s Will for us in our lives as we obey His divine words, Jm.2:1-²⁶For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also! Jms.1:²⁵But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. ²⁷Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.)

Back to 2 Tm.3:

⁶For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ⁷Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. ⁹But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. ¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, ¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra (Can we say the same about our lives we are leading for our Great God?); what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. ¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (Are we suffering persecution for our Lord? Then the Lord has a word for you! Hag.1:⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!)

¹³But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. These are those who walk after the Lord in their own fashion as if Jesus wasn’t serious about obedience to this Holy Bible which is His Will for us yesterday, today, and forever (Heb.13:8) because God changes not, Mal.3:⁶For I am the LORD, I change not; The Only way to keep from the wrath to come is to be found approved of God in keeping His every word in perfection, this is what Peter and Paul were talking about as well as Jesus, Mt.5:⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect: 2 Pt.3:¹⁴Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

You ask well; how are we to do that? By studying this word and find yourself approved of God fulfilling all His scriptures; Peter told you: ¹⁸But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Which is impossible with man who has not been born again of water and spirit as Jesus told us to do in Jn.3:³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? ⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (Refer to Jn.1:12-13). ⁷Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? ¹⁰Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. ¹²If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? Hag.1:⁵Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways!

There is no repentance were a person does nothing different from before they asked the Lord of all Glory to forgive their sins and then go away and walk the same as they did before, that is not repenting! Jesus started His ministry after the testing by our adversary of this world and owner and ruler of this world, for it will be his home forever, in the lake of fire; and we are to have dominion over him, Gen.4:⁷If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him!

Jesus said in Mt.4:¹⁷From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Because the Kingdom of God was with man as we see these verses here, Mt.12:²⁸But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Which explains whose finger was casting out all these demons and spirit possessed children of God in Lk.11:²⁰But if I *with the finger of God* cast out devils, *no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you*. For this reason Jesus had to go back from wince He came, Jn.3:¹³And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven: As Jesus explained yet again in another verse in the same book just a little further along, 16:²⁷For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. ²⁸I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: *again, I leave the world, and go to the Father*. Jn.8:²³And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. ²⁴I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins. Jesus is the I Am look a little further in the same chapter, ⁵⁸Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am. Moses was told by God that His name is ’eh·yeh (I Am) ’ă·šer (Who, What, or That) ’eh·yeh (I Am) in other words I Am What I Am or I Will be what I will be He is everything we will ever need Him to be in a God for us and Him alone, Deu.6:⁴Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Mk.12:²⁹And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord! Zech.14:⁹And the LORD (God our Jesus!) shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Eph.4:⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism!

Jn.8:⁵⁹Then took they up stones to cast at him (Jesus): but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. The Priest knew exactly who Jesus was saying He was: He was saying to them I Am the I Am! Just as Isaiah prophesied, Is.7:¹⁴Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name *Immanuel (Meaning God with Us! Mt.1:23!)*; look to another verse in Is.9:⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (All these titles are just one person our LORD OF Lords and KING of Kings: “Jesus the CHRIST!”: “The HOLY ONE”!)

Which Isaiah prophesied that one would go before Him and prepare the way of our Lord and God; Is.40:³The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Is this not our description of John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus? Jesus the Christ which is both LORD and the CHRIST as we see in Acts.2:³⁶Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. This same God has made Jesus LORD of ALL, Mt.28:18; Ac.10:³⁶The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (He is Lord of all!). This same God who said He would not share His glory with another in Is.42:⁸I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. As well as seen in Is.48:¹¹For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another. As the Apostle Paul exclaimed in 1 Cor.6:⁸Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Paul knew who Jesus was because he was trained by Him in the deserts of Arabia and returned again and went to Damascus; Gal.1:15-17 and Paul preached if we preach any other gospel than what is in this Holy Bible we will be accursed, Gal.1:8-9 twice cursed and three times cursed counting John’s curse given to him by Jesus Himself in Rv.22:18-19 which is exactly what was told to Moses in his desert wonderings to tell the children of Israel, Deu.5:32-33; 17:20; 28:14; Josh.1:7 and finally in Pro.4:

²⁰My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

²¹Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

²²For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

²³Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

²⁴Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

²⁵Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

²⁶Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

²⁷Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

This is the same thing the Lord told Joshua in Deuteronomy as well as in Josh.1:⁷Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

⁸This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

⁹Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

(By the things we see in this world of evil and shame, Dan.12:¹And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. ²And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.) We are in that age of trouble and we are not to be distracted by the ways of this world but we are to be held to a higher calling from our Lord God and we are called to be the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ, 1 Cor.5:21! If we are not we will be a shame to our great God Jesus Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, a bride who is spotless and without wrinkle, totally blameless! Who meditate on His word day and night as we have been instructed to do, these laws of Holiness and Righteousness change not just as our God changes not! I have shown you this in Mal.3:⁶For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. And you are not consumed yet because God is longsuffering and calling all to repentance so none should be lost; but no one knows how to repent properly according to His word; not man’s idea of repentance but Jesus’; He is the way the truth and the life that we must live to have a life shown to be of repentance according to His sovereign Words of Life: Jn.6:⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. When we fulfill His words of life we have shown ourselves repented and are in His Will for us as in these scriptures for us to live by: Mal.3:¹⁶Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

¹⁷And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

¹⁸Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. In the Millennium to come as told to John the revelator in Rv.2:²⁵But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. ²⁶And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ²⁷And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. ²⁸And I will give him the morning star: ²⁹He that hath an ear; let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

So you see God’s Will for us and His word from the Old Testament to the New are perpetual meaning they transcend time and are of His heart and mind and will never change no matter what this God hating world does! It does not matter how low this world falls into condemnation, we are to be a shining light of the word of God in a dying world; We are to be the living words of God as God lives in us for the whole world to see (2 Cor.6:¹⁶for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹⁷Wherefore come out from among them(of the world), and be ye separate (A Holy Nation of Children of God!), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. ¹⁸And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty)! If we do not understand what was written it is to our own shame, Dan.12:²And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

This means because you know not the word of God and His Statutes, Laws, Commandments, Sayings, Precepts, and Lines upon Lines as Is.28 has stated you will not be allowed to become rulers with Him in His millennium to come because you have not prepared yourself according to His Way and His Word which is His Will for you and all His children, Mt.12:⁴⁶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. ⁴⁷Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. ⁴⁸But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? ⁴⁹And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! ⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

You have become one of these instead: Is.28:¹³But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Just like St. Peter said because you wrest with the scriptures to your own detriment, shame and condemnation! And the answer is because you really never read all the scriptures and saw how they are all harmonious to His glory and His wisdom and not the wisdom of this world that is about to pass away at any time! How are we to learn His words of truth and get them imbedded in our minds and always upon our hearts, with man this is impossible but with God in us all things then become possible; it takes a supernatural act of redemption so that we can be taught by God Himself as Isaiah was talking about just a few verses earlier in this passage; Is.28:⁹Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. ¹⁰For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: ¹¹For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. ¹²To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. With a stammering lip and another tongue will He speak to this people, this is the one who had all scriptures written, it was the Spirit of God as we see in 1 Pt.1:¹¹Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Which is the Holy Spirit, 2 Pt.1:²¹For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost: ²⁰Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. ¹⁹We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: ¹⁸And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. You see it takes the Holy Spirit to lead you to all truths as our Lord Jesus said He would; Jn.14:¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; ¹⁷Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Jesus is that Spirit leading us to all truths in His scriptures in just the right order to understand what He wants us to do as Isaiah said: ⁹Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts: (Mature in Doctrine of the Apostles and the Lord God in Jesus Christ!) ¹⁰For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: ¹¹For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Jesus told us He would not leave us comfortless and He will come to us and He will be in us, the Spirit of truth that the world cannot have unless they have been born-again His way, Eph.4:⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism: It’s not man’s ritual of baptism that reveals God in Jesus Christ it is His Baptism, Jn.1:¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The same Baptism Jesus was talking about here: Jn.3:³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? ⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

So only those who have been truly born-again of the water and of the spirit (Holy Spirit) are these who have been born as the Apostles baptized their converts who had truly repented and came up out of the water speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave the utterances; For only Jesus’ ordained Apostles (Jn.15:16) had the keys to heaven and could bind on earth and in heaven with their words given to them by the Holy Spirit operating in their lives; as we see in the Book of Acts! They had the true baptism formula for baptizing the way Jesus wanted them to, as seen in Ac.2:38-40; 8:16; 10:44-48; which Peter brought to the council in Jerusalem showing how God had poured out upon the gentiles the Holy Spirit the same way that they had received it! By speaking in tongues and prophesying the same as they did when the whole world of Judea asked what meaneth this as Peter exclaimed that this is what Joel prophesied about in Joel.2:28 which is happening now today as well as back then as Peter said it would in Ac.2:39 for this is for us and our children’s children; to all of us who are afar off, we are still in the same age of Grace as when these apostles and the church of Jesus Christ was birthed on the day of Pentecost! As we see the Apostle Paul who was taught by God our Lord Jesus out in the deserts of Arabia and Damascus received the same revelation as shown when he met up with the disciples of John the Baptist in Ephesus, He asked them in: Ac.19:¹And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, ²He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. ³And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said: Unto John’s baptism. ⁴Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. ⁵When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus: ⁶And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. ⁷And all the men were about twelve.

So how is it that with so much evidence in the written word of God, has the world not received what our Lord has told them to do? I will show you yet again why: The world and her churches are as these that were prophesied in Isaiah as we look to Is.4:¹And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. These are the seven churches of God through the seven ages that are talked about in Revelation chapter 2 and 3, they were all of the Lord’s churches but He has something against them, they had all fallen into worldly doctrine and had left their first call or first love, they had forgotten to keep in repentance and then came back into the world and sought after our Lord their way as these women in Is. 4, they wanted to feed their own selves the way they wanted to eat or receive the word, and they wanted to dress their self the way they wanted just as those who want their religion and the dress of this world, they wanted only the man’s name to take away their shame which is their eternal condemnation which the Lord will never Marry and allow to become His Bride! This is what is the matter with this world’s churches of anything goes: Just come to Jesus the way you are and all will be all right as long as you just believe! Jesus said *If* you Love Me; Keep My Commandments! This means prove it! How are we going to prove it? We must be about Him and His business when He comes for His church, Lk.2:⁴⁹And he said unto them: How is it that ye sought me: Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? This is exactly what Jesus told His disciples: Jn.4:³⁵Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. ³⁶And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. ³⁷And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. ³⁸I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. Mk.8:³⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. ³⁶For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? ³⁷Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mk.16:¹⁵And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ¹⁶He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. ¹⁷And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; ¹⁸They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. ¹⁹So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. ²⁰And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Unless we receive this message of His, with a child like heart just for Him and His love for us; and unless we have received it and let it come in and do a work in our lives; then we will be saved when we follow Him as He told us to do: Or we have heard and have head knowledge and walk away just as before without doing anything about it, we are as those who are without understanding talked about in scripture: Is.55:⁷Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ⁸For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. ⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Pr.15:¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: Just as those seven women in Is.4:1; Pr.21:²Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. ³To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. (Meaning why are you continually repenting for the same sins you keep doing when supposively you have repented? Could it be that you have not the power of the Holy Spirit in control of your life and you have not given yourself over to Him yet; this is the covetness and contentiousness; that the King Saul found himself in and lost his kingdom because of disobedience, 1 Sam.15:²²And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. ²³For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.). This is the same as receiving Jesus into your life and returning back into the world you should have come out of; your last state will be worst then the first one! All because you failed to receive the Lord as a child; Mt.18:¹At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, ³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Those seven ladies talked about in Is.4:1 is not the way to heaven and unless we humble ourselves in full accordance to His living words of truth and allow them to be in us and we following Him only; or we have fallen short and are still being deceived by the ruler of this world, who continually says did the Lord really say that? Surely you will not die but you will be as gods and know all things, good and evil, so how is it we cannot discern yet still, to keep away from this world and its evil ways and doctrines of the foolish worldly wise; 1 Jn.5:¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. We are to be in the world but not of it, Ac.2:⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 2 Cor.6:¹⁷Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. ¹⁸And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Just as Jesus said in John chapter 17 we are to be as one with Him as He is one with His Father the Holy Spirit, Jn.10:³⁰I and my Father are one. If we were as one with our Father the Lord Jesus; the world would still want to pick up stones and throw at us today as they did in Jesus’ day! Jm.4:⁴Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. But if we humble ourselves to Him and His word we will then be in a position for Him to draw closer to us; ⁶But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. ⁷Submit yourselves therefore to God: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. ¹⁰Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 1 Jn.4:⁴Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. ⁵They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. ⁶We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

You see I have shown how we must surrender all of our heart, minds, souls, spirits, and strengths over to Him for His use and go forth and seek a lost world who seeks their own destruction and they follow the leaders of this world instead of the one and only true leader we should be following and that is Jesus Christ and His Apostles’ who had the keys to heaven, and they used them and have shown us how we are to proceed to come to the Father our Lord Jesus Christ; Jn.12:⁴⁵And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. Jesus is the express image of God in man, 1 Tm.3:¹⁶And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. When we have seen Jesus we have seen the Father, Jn.14:7-9! Now that we know for a fact that Jesus is God in the flesh we had better figure out how we can serve Him according to His will or we will find ourselves as the unforgiveable in this age or the age to come; Mt.12:³¹Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.³²And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. All because we didn’t do as instructed, in the verse right before these; ³⁰He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. All because we worshipped Him our way instead of His way; is it because we are ashamed of Him and His word? So then, it will be ok with you if He is ashamed of you then, when He comes in the glory of His Father! Mk.8:³⁸Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. I would not want to be you in that day! You sow what you reap, are we sowing for the Lord or reaping for the Lord or ourselves to our own shame? Dan.12:²And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Mt.25:³¹When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: ³²And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: ³³And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. ³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: ³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. ³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴²For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: ⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. ⁴⁴Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. ³⁰And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. All because you didn’t do anything with what our Lord had given you to use for His glory! You are the servant hiding his Lord’s talent and not using it so that it can accomplish what it was sent forth to do, we must use His calling He put on us for His kingdom to come or we are exactly as that servant that will be cut asunder and cast out into outer darkness where there will be gnashing of teeth! When we keep His word and doeth them we are liken unto a wise man who built his house on a foundation which was dug deep into the word of God clear down to the rock which is Christ Jesus, in which He said on this rock I will build my church and it was the rock of truth of this gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified for our forgiveness and unless we are baptized His way we have not received the Blood of Atonement to our souls for the forgiveness of our sins! It must be done His way because all things that are Holy and Sacred are tied directly to His name! Jn.14:¹⁴If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. When we keep His Commandments, If we love Him, Jn.14:15! If we do then He will keep His part of the covenant agreement when we are buried in His likeness; Col.2:⁶As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: ⁷Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. ⁸Beware 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. ⁹For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. ¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: ¹¹In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: ¹²Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

The New Testament Covenant; Ro.6:¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ²God forbid: How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ³Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? ⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Is it because you have not been buried in His name that you cannot live an overcoming life as required in Revelation chapter 2 and 3! Because you have not been planted in His likeness, buried in the water of remission of sin, when something goes into remission it stops what it was doing before! Jesus said to go and sin no more (Jn.8:11) in order to be made whole, Jn.5:14; go and sin no more unless a worse thing come upon you! For man’s doctrine tells us that Jesus took all sin out of the world and once saved your always saved! Jesus never said that: he said go and sin no more, meaning there is still the possibility of losing your salvation through disobedience to His word, this is the unforgiveable sin of disobedience to what He has said to do! Jn.8:¹⁰When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her: Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. As well as St. Peter in 2 Pt.2:²⁰For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. ²¹For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ²²But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. Just as Jesus talked about he that had received the Lord and had his house meaning his soul all clean up and garnished and the evil spirits that were thrown out came back upon the man, with seven more worst than the first one; and his last state was worse than the first and that man ends up being eight times more wicked than he was at the first! Mt.12:⁴³When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. ⁴⁴Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. ⁴⁵Then 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. Unless we stay in the word of God as our direction for us, in this world that is lost and dying in its sin; we will find ourselves entangled in its webs of lies and deceit just as in these scriptures given for our admonition! Unless we use all of God’s scriptures (2 Tm.3:16-17) we are not in His will yet, as we see in Mt.12:⁴⁶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. ⁴⁷Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. ⁴⁸But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? ⁴⁹And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! ⁵⁰For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Only those who strive to enter in at the straight gate on the narrow path of life, that is according to His word will enter into His Kingdom as Jesus said, Jn.14:⁶Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. He is our gate we must travel through by going His way in His truths (words) and by walking the way He walked just as the Apostle Paul instructed us, 1 Cor.12:³¹But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. Which he did in the very next chapter; 1 Cor.13:¹Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ²And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (Love), I am nothing: ³And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (LOVE), it profiteth me nothing. We can do everything just the way Jesus said to do it and all the Apostles and still find ourselves left outside of the Kingdom of God! All because we did have not the right attitude; the attitude of Love for Him and Him only, which is obedience to His every word (because we love Him and for no other reason!)! Many just go through life with the attitude to do just what hast to be done to get into heaven; here’s a clue for ya; they aint going in! There heart is not right just like Simon the sorcerer who tried to buy the Holy Spirit with money! Without the proper heart and attitude you’re not going into the Kingdom of God because you have not received His heart at the sacred rebirth experience where you get a heart like His which is Love for your fellow sinner that must be saved just like you! That is your cross to bear, just as Ezekiel was to tell whoever God instructed him to tell of his faults and to repent or if he didn’t do as the Lord said that man’s blood would be on him!

The watchman!

Ezek.3:¹⁶And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ¹⁷Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. ¹⁸When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. ¹⁹Yet if thou warn the wicked; and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. ²⁰Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. ²¹Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Are we not all watchmen who have been given this word of truth? To bring this gospel message of the Kingdom of God, to all nations and then the end of time will come and is even at the door? Mt.24:14 Yes it is so! So it is our job! Or you have fallen back into sin and complacency of this world by its distractions! We must adhere to all scripture as these below and then I’ll be finishing up!

Being Planted (Buried in Baptism), in the New Testament Covenant

Ro.6:⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: ⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. ⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin. ⁸Now if we be dead with Christ (Ac.2:38-40; through 19:1-7 to 2 Tm.3:16-17: Brings us to all scripture is by the inspiration of God, so that we may be perfect, etc!), we believe that we shall also live with him: ⁹Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. ¹⁰For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof: ¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. ¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. ¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? ¹⁷But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. ¹⁸Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. ¹⁹I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. ²⁰For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. ²¹What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. ²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So if you live as you did before your baptism you have not had a true conversion and have not truly been born-again of the watery grave in His name in the only name by which salvation comes, Ac.4:⁹If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; ¹⁰Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

¹²Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Closing with questions being answered with questions

Matthew 9:14-15 (NIV) ¹⁴Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” ¹⁵Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?
Matthew 15:1-3 (NIV) Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, ²“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” ³Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
Matthew 15:32-34 (NIV) ³³His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?” ³⁴“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
Matthew 17:24-26 (NIV) ²⁴After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?” ²⁵“Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own sons or from others?”
Matthew 21:16 (NIV) ¹⁶“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’?”
Matthew 26:6-10 (NIV) ⁶While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, ⁷a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. ⁸When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. ⁹“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” ¹⁰Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman?”
Mark 2:1-11 (NIV) ⁵When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” ⁶Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, ⁷“Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” ⁸Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? ⁹Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? ¹⁰But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins….” He said to the paralytic, ¹¹“I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”
Mark 4:10, 13 (NIV) ¹⁰When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables…¹³Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?
Mark 4:38, 40 (NIV) ³⁸Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” ⁴⁰He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Mark 7:17-18 (NIV) ¹⁷After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. ¹⁸“Are you so dull?” he asked.
Mark 10:2-3 (NIV) ²Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” ³“What did Moses command you?” he replied.
Mark 12:14-17 (NIV) ¹⁴They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? ¹⁵Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” ¹⁶They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. ¹⁷Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.
Mark 12:18, 20-24 (NIV) ¹⁸Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question… ²⁰Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. ²¹The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the same with the third. ²²In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too. ²³At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” ²⁴Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
Luke 2:48-49 (NIV) ⁴⁸When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” ⁴⁹“Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

These are just a few, for there are many more to draw from as well! But Jesus made a statement which was in the form of a question on the cross at Calvary He said: Ps.22: ¹My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Which Jesus spoke on the very cross of Calvary for one reason and one reason only; it was and still is prophetic in its nature! Jesus knew exactly who He was and why He was on the cross and the cup He was made to drink; for all humanity is required to drink from the dregs of the sin of wrath to come, for all have sinned and come short of God’s glory, and are required to pay for their sins with their lives, for the punishment of sin is death to the sinner, it is a commandment of God, which is still in effect!

He has made us quite aware of the price to be paid for our sin; and He has shown us how we can have power over sin and death and the grave! But it is up to us to use what He has given to us so that we can decide for ourselves which is called free will, to either accept His offer and walk in His ordinances or walk as they, which walk in the world of wickedness! Just as the seven women who wanted their own food and clothing but wanted a name of the man to take away their shame (their sin and condemnation)!

Jesus has shown us in His words of life how we must be saved by His Ordained Apostles who had the keys to heaven! You notice they had keys to heaven, the word keys is plural for a reason, it takes all scripture to be righteous and it takes separation from this world and keep only unto Jesus Christ in order to be Holy as in consecrated for His use because we are supposed to be His Holy Temple that He will use to walk in this world, in us!

Many in that last day will be outside just as the unwise virgins who let their Holy Oil run out which is symbolic of their Holy Spirit Baptism, you see it hast to be renewed daily, Ro.12:¹I 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. ²And 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. If we are not in the will of God we are in our will which is the same as saying we don’t need those things that the Lord has for us; we will do as we think is right and that is the sin that is never forgiven in this age or the next! Mt.12:³¹Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. ³²And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost (Who inspired all the scriptures to be written by God’s (Jn.4:24) Grace, Eph.4:29-30; Mt.12:36-37), it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Because all scripture is Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit inspired and you have decided to put your word and your truths above our God’s, you are the clay pot trying to tell the potter what he must make! Who are you that can stand against this world’s only God and creator? Ro.3:³For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? ⁴God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. ⁵But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) ⁶God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? You can believe any way you want but will it justify you when you stand before your God who will judge all that you have ever said and believed? This is the reason God gave us the story of the man named Job! All His friends believed wrong and God commanded that they all bring sacrifices for their sin and to have Job the only correct one among them pray for them and God would receive Job’s interceding prayer of sacrifice for them so He would not have to consume them in their sin of being incorrect! Even if we preach His word and lead all the world to Christ Jesus and we are still found to be in our own ways, living in the world the way we want and not the way He wants His children to live; we find ourselves still in His wrath to come! To be cast out just like the unwise servant who was cut asunder and cast out into outer darkness where there will be gnashing of teeth! These words are not some kind of fairy tale or some myth thought up through the ages! Is.55:¹¹So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Our God cannot lie, Tit.1:²In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Num.23:¹⁹God is not a man, that he should lie; Heb.6:¹⁸That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: You see we have a hope of salvation just as the Apostle Paul preached that he would run his race well and not fall short of his calling and that he would be crowned with a crown of glory for holding onto the truths of his salvation he received for doing all that God our Lord Jesus had for him to do! The Apostle Paul was for all of us an example to follow just as his Lord was! 2 Tm.4:¹I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; ²Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. ³For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; ⁴And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. ⁵But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. ⁶For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. ⁷I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

⁸Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Do you really Love His Appearing? Or are you afraid? If sin is in your life be very, very, afraid for the wrath of our God is Hell for all who have sinned and have not correctly been baptized in His Name according to His Apostles and even Himself in Mt.28:¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Jesus said I and My Father are One and I will send the Holy Ghost which is called by My name so we see the name of the Father and the name of the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ! Because He is God with us, Mt.1:23! And when we baptize in the very name of Jesus Christ as required by scriptures we are in full agreement with all scripture in baptizing in this manner, Col.3:¹⁷And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

So finally I will say this last thing and then I’m done; Many people in that last day will be outside of the gate and not allowed in because they have left something undone such as these: Mt.7:²¹Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²²Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. These verses are for Teachers, Preachers, Evangelist, Prophets, and Apostles who have not kept their faith in accordance to His word and have gotten out of line with their doctrines who lead people astray, Mt.5:¹⁹Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Anyone who says we are not to worry about His commandments is not your friend, for they are the least in the kingdom of God which will be Hell because that is going to be the least place in God’s Universe because their righteousness was not exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees, who knew all the scriptures but did not walk in them, are you going to be the same as they?

If you are you will be just like one of those who thought this is no big deal somehow God will make a way for all sinners to get to heaven somehow, that is even what the Pope is preaching today, he says even the atheist will make it to heaven as long as they do good! This was on the welcome page of AOL’s web site on Huffington Post news article on May 23^rd 2013 Where we have also found articles today of men who say they are the antichrist which was miss interpreted and was really meant to say another Christ as incarnated again in the flesh, which he tells his followers to have his mark, the mark 666 on their person and has a religious following who say he is Jesus! Which he says there is no heaven and no hell, heaven which is this earth is heaven and it is only hell to those who do not follow him! These are the end times my friends, are you going to be left outside when Jesus comes to take His bride home? Many in that day will say My God My God why have you forsaken me?! And Jesus in His usual style will have one of His question scriptures ready for you too! Like this one; Lk.6:⁴⁶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Hag.1:⁵Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways! Mal.1:⁶A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? ⁷Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. ⁸And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.

You see every time we offer up prayers and we have sin in our lives we are something detestable to Him because we offer up lame sacrifices of uncleanness and our stink is always before His nostrils as we offer up profane prayer! Look to these scriptures, Pr.15:⁸The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. ⁹The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. Pr.28:⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. ¹⁰Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

The Apostle Paul told us something so profound and yet I see this world walking around like nothing is going on; Paul told us to work out our own salvation, with fear and trembling! Phil.2:12 we cannot wait till we get to heaven and try and defend our way of life on what someone else said was going to be ok! We must have His sure mercies over our lives or we find ourselves coming up short every time! Only those who obey His word will find eternal happiness waiting for them Jn.8:51! Just as Jesus has said; Jn.14:⁶Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ⁷If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. When we do things Jesus’ way we do things just like the Father wants us to do! Real simple even a child can get this theology! Disobedience goes to Hell, Righteousness and Holiness goes to be with Jesus in Heaven by obedience to His word pretty simple! Do as His Ordained Apostles have told you or find yourself in Hell! Eph.4:¹I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, ²With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; ³Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Ac.10:36; Col.3:11-17; 1 Jn.5:20; 1 Cor.6:11!). ⁷But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ac.2:³⁸Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ³⁹For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. ⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

So are you going to be one of those who end up saying, “My God My God why have you forsaken Me?”

You will hear the Lord ask you some of these questions: How is it you could not discern the times?

How is it you thought you could come to My feast that is for My Children and not have on the proper wedding garment?

How is it you are not clothed with Righteousness and Holiness and that you are not found to be Blameless as I told you to be?

How is it you wish to speak with Me now and you know not my heavenly language, the supernatural tongue that I have given all My children for a sign?

How is it you have no testimony and cannot prophecy as all My children do?

Did I not tell you that you must be born again of the water and of the spirit, before you could enter into My Kingdom?

Did I not tell you that if you would listen to My words that you should listen to My Apostles Doctrines, teachings, which are words of life, also?

Did I not tell you that in order for you to have eternal life in peace and happiness you must abide in Me which is My word?

Did I not tell you that to live with Me forever you had to do what I told you to do?

Did I not say, “If you love Me to keep My Commandments?

Did not My Apostles who I gave instruction to, not tell you, “Everyone of you to be Baptized in My own name for the remission (forgiveness) of your sins”?

How is it that you believe man’s ways in place of My ways, which are eternal, for I change not?

Did I not give you the Holy Bible which is filled with My instructions to Heaven and life eternal?

How is it you are found with none of My life giving words in you?

Did I not tell everyone who wanted to live forever that they needed to eat of My flesh which is My Word?

Did I not say to drink of My blood and you would live forever in Me and I in you?

How is it you did not know My blood was the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is My Spirit in you and you become one with Me?

Did I not say I was the bread that came down from Heaven, that you were to eat in order to live forever with Me?

Were there never signs in the earth and in the heavens for you to know that there was a God who has allowed all this to be?

How is it you do not know I Am A God who DEMANDS OBEDIENCE, before sacrifice of continual repentances?!

Did you not know the prayers of a promiscuous and presumptuous sinner is an ABOMINATION TO ME?

Did you not know to cut your hair and to worship Me it is to be a shame to you and that your hair was to be uncut and was to be for you a covering, for it is your glory?

Is My glory for you of little or no worth to you?

Did I not tell My men children not to round the corners of their hair or their beards?

Did I not tell you to come out from among the ungodly and for you to be a holy and righteous people and I would be your God?

Did I not say in Daniel that a shame was going to be in condemnation to whoever was a shame to Me?

Have you never read the history of My people and My children that I admonished them continually for disobedience of My Law that I have written and put in their minds and on their hearts or do you even know My Commandments for your instructions?

If you do not know My ways and My Laws then how are you equipped to come back with Me in My Millennium reign and rule with a rod for Me?

Did not I chastise My own children as a good Father is supposed to do and to raise your children in the fear of the Lord; then how is it you have no fear of Me?

How is it now that I cannot allow you to come into My presence?

Why is it now that I cannot allow you to come into the Grooms Feast for His Bride who has made herself ready for Her Groom?

Did I not warn you not to give away your inheritance as that vain Esau did who even came weeping and could not receive his blessing from his father just like you today?

Did I not have My Apostle Paul warn you to work out your salvation with fear and trembling?

Why is it you are not trembling now as My servant warns you yet again?

How is it that the world does not hate you; is it because you and the world that is evil are in league together and serve the same master?

Can you answer Me these things and countless more I will have for you on the Day of your Judgment?

No you cannot, now I will finish with what you will hear in that day you stand before Me in My Day of Judgment upon you!

Mt.7:²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Ps.5:⁵The foolish shall not stand in My sight: I hatest all workers of iniquity.

Ps.6:⁸Depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity;

Mt.10:³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Mt.10: ¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. And for you who have not received My servants words I have given him! For he has spoken only of my words that I have given you before!

Mt.10:²⁸but rather fear Me which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Mt.11:²²But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. At least they repented at the words of the Lord’s prophet! ²⁴But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Mt.12:³⁶Be ye careful how you answer yourself today and for your conscience sake disregard not my Word which is my Spirit: ³⁷for I will hold you accountable for every idle word you speak, not only to anyone around you but to your own heart, I will hold you accountable!

Mt.13: Why should you be found bundled together with the tares and carried to My burn pile in Hell? Should not you be gathered to My barn with the rest of My wheat, who are called by My name?⁴⁹So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

⁵⁰And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mt.13:⁵⁷How is it My prophet cannot even receive honor in his own house; have not I given him My words of truth; for you to understand which will save you from My wrath to come, and you receive him not just as you do away with My Word to you that is your eternal life to you?

Mt.13:⁵⁸And I will not do mighty works for you because you have lost your faith, in Me and My words, as well as My servants!

Mt.14:³¹O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Mt.14:¹⁴Why have you listened to man’s sayings and not Mine, for they are the blind leading the blind and they both shall fall into the ditch; that is greased, that is sloped steep for all your lies to slide down into the pits of Hell, where there will be gnashing of teeth and the worm dieth not and the fire is never quenched!

Let you therefore hear what thus sayeth the Lord of hosts; For your sins I have been crucified! I did it for My own name’s sake, for how should My name and My world that I have created be polluted and My glorious name be blasphemed by not making a way for My children to escape Hell and not to have a way to My Kingdom? For I have not only given Myself to you but I have shown you in My words; how your hearts must be Sanctified, Consecrated and Purified unto Me by My own Words; that are eternal life to you!

Therefore thus sayeth the Lord: Consider you ways! Repent everyone of you and be baptized in My name; in the only name by which salvation comes; in the Holy Glorious name of Jesus Christ for I will remit your sins from you and give you the power to go and sin no more, and ye shall ask anything in My name and I shall do it for you, when you become one with Me and I with you and I give you the utterance of a heavenly tongue and you prophecy to the glories of being one with Me, for I will give you a testimony all of your own which is only for you! Then strive to enter into the straight gate on My narrow path of this life of yours and I will receive you unto My own self and I will give you a stone with a name that no one will know but you and I!

Repent while I may still be found, and receive My words and my truths and worship Me in Spirit and in Truth that I require of all My children who are called by My name and are in the midst of My Bride who has made herself ready for Me, who is without spot and without wrinkle who has strived to be found blameless for her husband; which is My Church called by My name, which I have purchased with My own blood! You are not your own I have purchased you and have paid a price that no one is able to repay, for this is My gift to you but you must seek it out for yourselves; for it is not hard to find the way to My heart, it is in my words of Life that I had written for you by my prophets of old and My servants who became My friends who are My Apostles, who I have instructed to write what I have given for them to write unto you!

I Am the same yesterday, today and I Am able to be that forever, for My words will not come back void from wince I sent them out to accomplish! I Myself have spoken and it will be done at My letting, so beware and heed My servants warning that I have had him write unto you; seek Me while I may be found in peace, and loving kindness for My longsuffering is about to come to an end, for the time is nearer now than ever before for My coming! There is not much time remaining before all things will come to pass that have been spoken of in my living Word!

Seek ye men who stay in My word without adding anything to it or without taking anything away as I have instructed; for these are truly My Ordained and Anointed! Many will come in My name but I have not sent them, they are there because they have taken their fathers roles on them by tradition and not by My Calling Them! In these last days many will come and say things that are in My word and you will find them to right according to My doctrines but they will walk far from Me and lead many into the world from wince I called you out of! They will make it hard for you not to fall in love with them and their speech, but I say unto you that they have not your best interest in mind for they are looking out for their own bellies and feeding themselves from My table and will lead many astray with doctrines that they will bring in that are not My own once they have won your favour and your trust! Even though they have many good fruits that seem to be honorable they will turn to corruption and be far from Me in the end! Many are in the world as I now speak unto you and are for your testing, for only those who know My word will be able to tell who is a deceiver, by the way I speak to you in the Spirit, you will know that they are not of Me, for if I have sent them they will only speak the truth of My written word to you! Anything less than this is an Abomination and Confusion; which I will correct in a most harsh and quick end of it will I make!

My children be patient for just a little while longer and I will come and receive you unto Myself and where I am you will be also, In My Kingdom are many mansions that you have prepared by doing what I have instructed you to do, for that is where you have chosen to place your heart and I have carried it out for those who receive My word and put them in their hearts and display them in this vile world for all to ridicule, for I have seen how the world looks upon My true children, who I have chosen to place My name! I know the trials and tribulations that you must overcome to be with Me, but your reward is far greater than anything you have seen or will see in this world you live in now! As I told you in my word be of good cheer for I have overcome this world and so must you also, for it is your trials and tribulation and is your testing grounds for purification; for If you overcome the world now you will not have to go through the times of Jacob’s troubles that are for my disobedient children who have hardened their hearts to Me and my word!

As I have told you these things that are upon you are for signs and wonders that you may see and know that the time is near for My coming; I have told you so you would know it is so; receive My word in what I have had written for you it is for your edification and admonishment to prepare you for what is to come and to know that those who have my name will have no fear in these last days for it is all in My hands and is being accomplished just as I have said it would be so that you know it is from Me! For I have told you from dispensation to dispensation what to watch for and what to do in each, for what I open no one is able to shut and what I shut no one is able to open and when I speak it will be so as if it is done already, for it is in My sight and will be in your also! Therefore take heed to My instructions, keep to My word and live! For My word is my Spirit and if you blaspheme my Spirit it will not be forgiven of you in this age or any age to come, for I change not! Therefore pray and fast that what comes upon this world will not come upon you for I have warned you by My servant; Thus sayeth the Lord; Consider your ways and your heart and make sure it is on Me and my Will for you which is My word that I have given you for your instruction! Keep thyself only unto Me and I will have you with Me forevermore; thus sayeth the Lord of host!

Lord I thank you for your words to us your children, for you know who your children are and who will heed the word you have given us today! You are so faithful to those who worship you and are thrilled to be called by your name and those who have a love for their fellow man even those who are their enemies for we know that Hell is too hot and it is forever and was made for the adversary and your fallen spirits who have left their first estate and all spirits will end up returning to you who gave it Lord; for you to judge as you judge with all righteousness; Lord I ask that we hear what thus sayeth our Lord and I ask that we put it in our hearts and keep it always before our faces as not to ever fall from it as those who are going to that despicable place called Hell because of disobedience that you have warned us about repeatedly! I thank you Lord that you have not given up on us and continue to give us answers to our prayers and that we can still have a move of your wondrous power with signs and miracles when a child who is called by your name prays in the Holy Spirit and grows in the spirit with moaning that only you know what it is that we are in need of as we intercede for our own selves and others; even those who need to come to you oh LORD our GOD Jesus Christ for we know if we ask anything in your name it will be done because we only ask for those things that are in your will for us to have! I thank you Lord for thy Holy Spirit who lets us know what it is that we really need and what is only a want or a desire, for only you know the difference of a necessity of will!

Thank you Lord for your plan of salvation that you have given to us by your Holy Anointed Ordained Apostles who told us as Peter, who did testify and exhort to us many words that you had for us to receive for our salvation when he said in Ac.2:³⁸Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ³⁹For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. ⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

And to your messenger to the gentiles who were really a far off but yet they were given a promise by you in the Book of Gen.12:³And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. By you who was your spirit being manifested in the flesh for our salvation and to know who you really are, are indeed really the only ones who are worshipping you in truth and in your Holy Spirit! Because of your Holy Anointed Apostle Paul who taught the gentiles the same baptism that Peter did by your Holy Spirit’s leading him into your truths Lord Jesus; when he said to the disciples of John the Baptist; have you received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? They said we have not so much as even heard there be any Holy Spirit such as these in this world today for they believe it is not for them as some preach, which is against your word Lord, and we will not err as they did my Lord; for your gifts are without repentance and all gifts from heaven above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. So we know that the whole world lieth in wickedness and is being deceived as we study your word today; who are being led to their own destruction because they sought not their own salvation with fear and trembling! For Lord we know the act of disobedience to your word brought with it a death penalty in the lake of fire in the Old Testament as well as in the New testament; your word has not changed but is still true and heaven and earth must pass away before your word will ever change to a New Dispensational Covenant but your obedience will still always be required forever as it is today with you because you change not!

Lord my prayer is that this word you have given me will touch each and every heart that reads it and studies upon it for their edification Lord; that none should be lost as it is your will also according to your own words!

Therefore thus sayeth the Lord’s servant to you: Repent and every one of you be baptized in the only name by which salvation and all prayers are answered; in that glorious name of Jesus Christ for the Remission and forgiveness of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for it is a gift to you and to your children’s children and to whosoever will receive it and unto them who are a far off even to as many as our Lord Jesus Christ shall call! For their is but One Lord, One Faith which has been discussed here today, and only One Baptism that our Lord Jesus Christ has put in place for all to receive who believe in His word alone and not man’s vain traditions but according to His word we will be saved!

So if you have not been baptized according to His Will for you, you are at fault because you have listened to man instead of praying through till you received the Holy Spirit who would lead you into all these truths that are in Jesus’ word given to us by His Holy Spirit filled ordained men who put His word before their very own lives! If we speak at all let it be done as an oracle of our Lord Jesus Christ! Come while Jesus may be found while there is time; very soon now the door to heaven’s gate will be closed forever and you will find yourself outside as was talked about by Jesus Himself in;

Matthew 25

¹Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. ²And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ³They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ⁴But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. ⁷Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. ⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. ⁹But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. ¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

We can never let our Holy Spirit leak out we must keep it renewed daily or we will find ourselves left outside as these five virgins who were just as saved as the first five were but they left their duties undone in disobedience and will be left outside the same as you or I if we keep not only to Jesus’ Will that is His Words of Eternal Life for us who obey Him and glorify Him with our own selves serving Him just because we can’t do enough for him! Are you doing that for Him today as a loving child of God should? Repent!!!

Ro.12:¹I 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. ²And 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. Ro.14:¹⁰But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. ¹²So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

God will have the Last Word!

Is.57:²¹There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

Is.48:²²There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Ezek.21: ³¹And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy. ³²Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

Ezek.22:³⁰And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. ³¹Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

Ro.6:²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our LORD. The Lord will show you the way, 1 Cor.2:9-16!

Lord’s Way Ministries International & Bible College:

All scripture quotations in this book are from the King James Version of the Bible unless otherwise noted:

The first verse of the Bible introduces God as our creator of the universe; and all that is in existence and nothing exists without it being of the One True God’s will who allows it. As shown in verse 2; And the Spirit of God moved upon the waters (See Jn.4:23-24 & 1 Tm.3:16 here as well, as well as Jn.1:1-14-18 in the Greek original writing it speaks of Monogenis and even monogenous Theos!).

The Bible does not try to prove the existence of God; it assumes His existence is fundamentally known by one and by all, as He is the Creator of all, Ac.2:36 & 10:36, and we the beings and creatures of His creation Col.1:16-17! All creation bear witness to this as well; that there is in fact a loving, omnipotent, omnipresent, all wise, all intelligent, Holy Spirit, who has made Himself known to us as the Father, the Originator of all that is seen and that is not seen. It is by God our LORD that all things can exist and consist for His delight and use. (Col.1:16-17; Jn.17:1-5) In fact the Bible is the History of Mankind and his offspring (Gen.1:1-Jn.21:1-25, then the New Testament starts in the book of Acts chapter 1-28 & 29? See Ro.1:1-20 also.).

As stated in the Word Aflame documents; it shows there can be only three ways the universe came to be known; (1) it has always been in place and existed; (Eternal Universe); (2) it came into existence by its own power (A self creating universe, the Big Bang theory.) or (3) God Created it and is Lord God of His creation! We can only accept any of these suggestions (Hypotheses) by having faith and believing in one or all of them or even none of them and having a theory of your own, that hopefully is based on sound fact and a reasonable axiom that is based on a logical explanation, and not at all like those of the CERN system, looking for a god particle! The building block of all creation! I am sure there maybe even more theories in the world but we have not the time to dwell on such nonsense , if, we know who God is and what He has done, if we are any kind of intelligent human beings. It is more plausible to realize our God transcends time, logic, and scientific proof!

It is more plausible to understand a God who is an omnipotent creator, with vast intelligence far superior to that of non rational matter accumulating in a reasonable fashion, which makes sense and appears to be rational and is an oxymoronic statement. That is an illogical assumption. Much as taking a wrist watch or timepiece and taking it all apart and putting all the pieces in a sack or paper bag and then shaking it for thousands of years and hoping all the pieces would put themselves together to make a watch that will keep correct time. All that and more, is what they would have us believe if their theories were true. Or that you put one particle, a god particle that was all intelligent and it went around the universe hoping to find more god particles to build upon to make the chemical bonds of all atomic material and then that too would go on for years upon years until it was smart enough to build; so that all astronomical lunar and solar systems called galaxies, that we see today could exist. On and on until even after a few billion years it would design itself a human being as we are today, what are the chances of all that happening? Unarguably incalculable! It is much easier to acknowledge and intelligent creator and supreme designer, who has not only made Himself known to mankind many times by many supernatural acts of kindness and benevolence. To those who love Him; for that is why He made all things to show His love; for He is love 1 Jn.4:1-21.

The orderliness and design of the universe makes it mandatory that there is the existence of a Designer a Creator. The smallest creatures and the complexities of all the substances relate to us that they were established by a maker that has unsurpassed knowledge and knows the end from the beginning! An all wise God, who knows what any system will need before it needs it and puts all that it will ever need available for its survival. Just as we see in Gen.1:1 throughout the Holy Scriptures! God always had what something else was going to need before it was created, even mankind! God’s design is much more reasonable that a Darwinist’s Theory of Evolution! Which has been disproven numerous times; that it is not even feasible or reasonable explanation: Which is no better than a blind chance that unintelligent matter that is unreasonable, has assembled itself over time in a reasonable manner, by chance! We are left with God being our Designer and Creator, our Sovereign God, and we His servants, made in order to take care of His world and universe and to have dominion over it as per His instructions to us!

This is in fact much more reasonable and logical explanation, as well as much simpler: Even the Simplicity that we find in Him when He comes to be our Saviour from our own sins of disobedience to His commandments 2 Cor.11:1-5. Even man’s divine nature has a quality to it that was made in the Image of a God that is beyond anyone’s imaginations. For we are as it says in scripture wonderfully made! This God of ours even knows our secret parts, or mind which is our very heart, He sees us entirely, spiritually and physically, nothing is hid from Him. All humanity that is of God has a moral and ethical understanding that was inherited and put in us by a creator so that we can be made in His image. With an understanding that life is the highest reason for existing, to love and be loved and to have offspring that will grow up and to love and be loved by us; who created life in His image and has given all that to us, for us to do for Him as well, Lk.17:7-10. Otherwise Love could not exist unless love could be given away freely; just as He did for us Himself that was beyond a price, Ac.20:28. For this reason God has given all of us an intelligence to comprehend what is reasonable service to the Lord and to all mankind as well (Ro.2:1-15).

How could mankind, the temporal man, have an inclination of an omni-existant (infinite), omnipresent, omnipotent, and a Perfect omniscient God that has always been and will always be, unless it was from Him who has Himself imparted that revelation in the minds of His children see Mt.16:17 & Jn.8:47 & 51. Every society in history has expressed its beliefs in a Supreme Being they understood to be God and some of the pagans have had many gods in their belief systems but most religious systems that are fundamentally sound in their reasoning’s have always been Monotheistic in nature, all through history.

The testaments and covenants have always been established by Sacred Scriptures given between one person or group to another, which both sides have established and agreed upon the conditions and or terms; we have learned this from our God as well. He has done the same and set forth His terms and conditions called commandments for all humanity to follow or they will be in their own sin. This is the sin of disobedience! For this reason God has made Himself known to mankind and participates in and throughout all history, our God has been involved in His creation and His servants’ lives. The testimony of all scripture is sacred for this reason, it is inspired of God, 2 Pt.1:19-21 & 2 Tm.3:14-17, so that mankind will know how he is to conduct himself and those in his life who live with him. Otherwise there would be fighting and wars that we see today; with much bloodshed, if they live in sin, just as the scriptures tell us will happen in the last days, that the world will be in its own wickedness 1 Jn.5:19 and in sin all around us, just as it is today as it has been prophesied, Mt.24:1-51, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Thus showing us scripture is reliable and trustworthy, for a God to be a true God, He must never lie and His words to us must always be true, from which we can base all truth upon; which is His word to us! Thus the Holy Bible does hands down to us what no other publication has ever done; because it is not inspired of God, unless a modern Apostle today has been given a word from God to write to His people called by His name, seen in Gal.3:26-27; and then it must match all the other scriptures in existence too, or that will be a false prophet or false apostle, see Ac.17:10-11. For it is written that we cannot add to this sacred word and we cannot detract away from it either, Deu.4:2 and Rev.22:18-19, tells us this, it is a fact!

The Bible

Now then that we have established that God does exist, His Holy Sacred Word to us must exist as well. Our God would not have created all this and us without wanting to communicate with us or we would not be liable for any sin but that sin which we have established among ourselves! This is why we must understand that these words of God are inspired and are from Him our one true God, Deu.6:4. Since God is a rational all intelligent Supreme Being, He had to make us intelligent and rational beings as well: Capable of understanding His will for us that is found in His words to us. Otherwise how can we fulfill His purposes for Him creating us? He has put everything in place for us to succeed and to multiply; surely He would have given us enough sense to communicate with Him and Him to us. Thereby knowing how to bless God and so He in turn can bless us as well, Jn.1:16 so grace is found to be reciprocal in nature. As long as we love Him and obey Him we in turn find His benevolence and Grace, His Royal Favour! His Blessings to us! His merited favour by obedience to His every word Mt.4:4 from Deu.8:3 because our God changes not, Mal.3:6 and see 16-18, as well as Ecc.12:7-14!

For this reason God made us intelligent beings in His image able to understand and fulfill all His commandments, precepts, judgments, statutes and sayings, line upon line and line upon line of this Holy Script, Is.28:9-12, so that we can find His peace and rest; otherwise all life will be nothing but torment and disturbance after disturbance as seen in verse 13 of Is.28 and Mt.7:15-23 as well as what is seen in Mt.24:1-51.

This is the reason we find His writings to us handed down to us by His chosen children called by His name, Ro.3:1-3. He has given His words to us to help make our lives better, not to hinder them but to allow us to have peace. To propagate from one generation to the next so they in turn could live in peace and comfort by having a relationship with God, as a Holy people, as a Holy Nation, called by His name Ex.19:5-6; Lev.11:44-45 and 1 Pt.1:1-16! And the following evidence convincingly demonstrates that the Bible is the uniquely written Word of God to man: 1) its unique claims, 2) self-vindicating authority, 3) testimony of the apostles and prophets, 4) integrity of Jesus Christ, who endorsed the O. T. and commissioned the writers of the New Testament, 5) nature and quality of its content, 6) moral superiority, 7) unit, despite more than 40 writers over 1,600 years, 8) lack of a creditable alternative, 9) agreement with history, archaeology and science, 10) indestructibility, 11) universality, 12) influence on society, 13) witness of the Spirit, 14) life-changing power, 15) fulfilled promises and fulfilled miracles, 16) fulfilled prophecies, and 17) lack of an alternative explanation for its origin.

With all this said we see that the Word of God is infallible and that it is the only Inspired Writings known to man that doesn’t refute itself but in fact supports all other scripture in and of itself, which none other book known to mankind can say all of this! All these listed things above, cannot be said about the Koran! The world’s most moral book, called the Holy Bible, the Sacred Words of God would never promote a lie or contradict itself but instead would proclaim that God Himself robed (1 Tm.3:16) in flesh would come to be the only logical spotless, blameless and perfect sacrifice for all the sin of the world and of mankind, Mt.1:23 God with us did this for us: That is what the Bible proclaims to be if translated correctly. Showing us yet again that God is our only logical conclusion to this Sacred Holy Bible, written by others but authored by His Holy Spirit to us, by His Holy men of God, 2 Pt.1:19-21 & 2 Tm.3:14-17, so we too can be found thoroughly furnished unto all good and perfect works, that can only be found in His scriptures to us! None but God could have done that; create a Holy and Godly Moral Writings to us. The Bible is literally God-breathed to us and comes from one source, His mind, His will, for all sacred beings to comply with, if they are going to be sacred at all, which is of God, Jn.8:47 & 51 (31, 32, and 36), if we are to be His Disciples, that are taught of God, Jer.31:31-34, Is.54:13, Ezek.37:1-28, that He God would teach us, Heb.8:8-13 and 10:16-17 as seen in Jn.6:44-47 as well as 63 & 68, because His words are eternal, Mt.24:35; Is.55:1-13 and Is.40:8 etc. No other book or writings can say all these things and be true in God’s Word, but His own words and His words alone are all that we need for salvation 2 Tm.3:14-17!

These verses shows all the words of God are tied together and cannot be broken, Jn.10:35, Is.28:9-12; Is.55:1-13; Jn.6:63 & 68; Jn.8:47 & 51; and 2 Tm.3:14-17, as well as Mt.12:31-32 and 46-50 as seen in Jn.12:45-50, for only His words to us brings us everlasting eternal life, none other can say that and accomplished it! This too is seen in Mal.4:5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. This was done before His coming to us, Is.40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make strait in the desert a highway for our God! See Mt.11:1-15 and Mt.17:10-13 as well. Showing us God and His words to us are reliable and trustworthy! This was all carried out in Matthew chapter 3 and Luke in the third chapter as well; Jn.1:19-28 and even in Jn.3:25-36why God is the Christ, Ac.2:36 and who is Lord and God of all Ac.10:36 came to be with us to remove us from sins effects and to allow us to have power over sin and the flesh and to go and sin no more, Jn.8:11 and 5:14 or a worse thing will come upon us as well.

All through the ages each writer wrote as he was used of the Lord for their time period; with terminology that was for that time period that they were in, so all that the Lord said could be understood with the etymology or the word usages, that were current for that time period could be clearly understood by all, and their words agreeing with all the words that had already been given before by others. This way we always knew it was of God and not of man’s doing. Every word agrees with all the other before it and after it so that none can doubt if it were of God or not! Different styles of writers and sometimes different languages were involved but all had the same effect, all knew it was of God’s doing it not mans! The Holy Bible is His word to His creation, so that we could know Him and His will and mind, otherwise there would be no accountability unless He made Himself clear, as to what He wanted us to do in serving Him. As a result the Bible is infallible, inerrant and its own authority for Doctrine, Correction, and Reproving the children of God, in Christian living, 2 Tm.3:14-17.

The Books of the Bible

There are thirty nine books recognized as Scripture by the ancients of antiquity who kept the historical writings from the ancestors, who gave them for safe keeping to their descendants of the Hebrew and the Jews from Israel clear back to Samaria and to Adam and Eve who God made with His own hands and breathed life into them and they became a living (spiritual) Soul made in His image, a Holy being which was imputed as Righteous! All of these thirty nine books were commonly quoted from in the New Testament by the Apostles and even Jesus Himself, who was and is God with us, Rev.4:8 and Mt.1:23. Twenty New Testament books qualify for us as written records of all that was said before and kept alive for the New Age as the real active words of God to His children called by His name, Lk.24:47; Jn.14:14 and Ac.2:37-40; Ro.6:4 and Col.2:12 to name just a few verses which proclaim this testimony as our only way to be known by Him as His child; unless we are in fact born again unto Him and His name Ac.4:12! For no other name is given by which we must be saved, for no other name brings with it Salvation, Jn.5:39-44 that is of God’s doing it, Jn.1:12-13! We are commanded to keep all His words to us and to keep growing in Grace, His Grace, and the Knowledge of who Jesus Christ is, 2 Pt.3:18 by keeping His words in our hearts and minds and always before our faces! Not only hearing His words to us but living them in our own lives, not being hearers only but doers of the words of God Col.3:17.

Errors can come to us sometimes from different copings or transcripts from one language to another we lose some of its depths and intents as to Godliness or Divinity as seen from the NIV, from the KJV even to leaving out some scriptures because they were not found in every manuscript but found in a few others, this doesn’t mean it should be excluded as long as other scripture back it up and doesn’t disagree with it or any other scriptures in the Holy Bible. This was found many times when the ancient writings were being assembled into what we know as the Canonized Scriptures, as an assembled collection of the 66 books of the Holy Sacred words of God; given for those who wish to make themselves known as His children called by His name and baptized in His name, the true church of the living God! Born again of the Water and of His Holy Spirit Jn.3:3-8 and blown wherever He needs us to go for His service, to make disciples of all nations and then the end will come, Mt.24:14. We have all these books of the Old Testament given to us from the scribes who are religious and are kept under a zealous standard of authenticity and accuracy that is unparalleled in history, even which is seen in the Septuagint of Alexandria in Egypt that was carried forth by those coming out of Babylonian captivity. They kept the written words of the prophets of God to their people. Even when other manuscripts are found they match with great accuracy to the original older manuscripts showing just how accurate they really were in their record keeping skills. We see this today as well in the Dead Sea scrolls. The accuracy of the Greek texts were extremely accurate in over 5000 manuscripts which verify and cancel out errors in any missing parts of the Greek language if there is any. We have others that show us what was really intended to be written in these cases.

The King James Version is the most popular English Bible, it was translated or commissioned to be translated by King James in 1604; he commissioned 47 theologians for the work and it took them seven years to complete it. You see the old translations used were the Bishop’s Bible it was clumsy and did not flow well as well as huge, clunky and inelegant as Barbara Bradley Hagerty says in her piece on this subject. (http://www.npr.org/2011/04/18/135437890/king-james-bible-now-400-still-echoes-voice-of-god).

The New King James version is using modern terminologies or vernaculars to make the original archaic language easier to read and interpret without a course on Etymology or Philology. With any translations we ought to be able to compare it back to the original source and compare and see for ourselves if they indeed kept the ideologies of the source intact. Especially when we are talking about Eternal Soul Issues, when it is an eternity in Hell or God’s Kingdom is at stake.

Bible students should use the literal method of interpretation, of all scriptures whenever possible, following the natural implications of the scriptures themselves. Although we must learn to use idioms of languages in the times they were written to us, of which some are called Hebraisms, meaning something other than what is said, such as “to lay with” it is have marital relations with one spouse or wife, another one is, “to be at the right hand of God” is to sit in all authority or all power is bestowed upon you or the one spoken of in this passage: See Mt.28:19, this is what is said about Jesus, but only to understand that Jesus is God in the flesh and has all authority and is said to be at the right hand of power, see Mk.14:62 as our examples will show. Whenever possible we are to keep to the literal translations without looking for hidden spiritual meanings that are called allegorical, or figurative: Such as parallel, metaphorical, nonliteral, symbolic, representative and emblematic as seen in Parables; these are for analogy alone or moral references, such as seen in the Proverbs and the Parable stories of Jesus’, which explained Biblical Truths to the common people of Israel, which they could relate to everyday life in their countries. It is important to use sound logic and to study what the words meant at the time when they were used, in order to understand the meaning of the passage as it was meant to be understood. This is done by using topic word studies for subject matter, especially for doctrinal issues that contribute to eternal matters. Such as Deu.8:3 and Mt.4:4; Lk.4:4 Jn.8:47 & 51 seen in Lk.11:28, in order to stay in His graces. See Jn.14:15 and 15:20 for example; these are all important heaven or hell issues, to a child of the Most High God. This too is called staying on context, with the background of the historical times or the people who the word is being talked about or to in these cases; this is called Hermeneutics, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics), this article will explain the methodologies. Which include styles, history, geography, culture, figures of speech, symbols, parable, and types of literary styling of the ancient writers etc.

When studying the Bible, which is the Holy Word of God, it must be interpreted by the Holy Spirit who wrote it or it will be miss understood by those who are unconverted and they will lose out on all its subtleties and innuendoes. This too is seen in the Epistles of the New Testament, they were originally written for one set of people only; they who are baptized in Jesus’ name and those who have had the Holy Spirit’s baptism seen in Ac.2:1-4 and Eph.1:1-14 and then 15-22 by which we receive spiritual blessings and spiritual gifts, seen in 1 Cor.12 and again in Eph.4:1-fs. These are all given to us after we have repented and gone a new direction away from sin and the desires of the flesh, that wars against the Spirit, see Gal.5:17 and Ro.8:13, which must be mortified by the indwelling Spirit of God in us, after we come out from among the unclean generations Ac.2:40 and 2 Cor.6:14-18 and then He will be our God and instruct us and teach us His mind 1 Cor.2:1-16. Then and only then can we correctly translate His given words to us. The Bible is plain and meant to be understood, when done so correctly it will give a response to the reader that they must seek salvation that only comes from Jesus Christ. By following all His commandments to us and those of His ordained apostles we too can find salvation such as Cornelius found in chapter 10 of Acts. He was the first uncircumcised Gentile of Rome to be baptized with the Holy Spirit of God Ac.11:1-18 as a sign to the church of God that he Cornelius was God’s property, for God filled him with His own Spirit; a Roman soldier who sought God with his whole heart, mind, strength, and soul. (See Mt.5:8 & 48).

Scripture interprets scripture and all truth is progressively found from Old Testament to the New Testament, because God changes not Mal.3:6 and Heb.13:8, God stays the same and His words stay true over time. Societies might change, with their styles of clothing and styles of speech and even moral decay will increase over time as all prophecy of God has shown us: This will happen until His return for those called in His name! Our God will stay and remain the same through all generations, even though all in the world may become more and more sinful, His children will remain sin free, or they have fallen off the narrow way to His strait gate, Mt.7:13-14; 1 Cor.15:33-34; 1 Jn.5:17-18, Jn.8:11 and Jn.5:14 as well as Ro.12:1-21, this is seen in Mt.5:1-48 as well, Eph.5:26-27 and 2 Pt.3:1-18, these are commandments to His children called to be Holy as He is Holy, Jn.14:6; 1 Jn.2:1-6 & 3:1-6 even 4 :1-6-fs.! From Gen.1:1 to Rev.22:21, we are to keep all of His words to us that are found in His Holy scriptures, for His word cannot be broken, Jn.10:35; Is.55:1-13 and will never come back void from that which it was sent out to do. That is why we must know His words to us so that if someone comes in preaching or teaching another gospel, we will know they are a false teacher, prophet or apostles, if they leave the narrow Word of God for an example, see Mt.7:15-23, for these scriptures are the teachings we have been talking about, that Jesus calls to our attention in His words to us, for few there will be that find that narrow way to His strait gate, see Mt.20:16 and Mt.22:14 as well as the word Luke uses in his parallel version in chapter 13:22-30, Luke uses the word strive to enter in at the strait gate, this word strive in the Greek is (agonizesthe Strong’s concordance number 75), from which we get our word agonize from, that is how we too must work to stay in His will, and to stay on His narrow way called the scriptural way to heaven, called the Gospel word the good news, the instructions for life with God in His Holy Kingdom, was brought forth for one and for all and whosoever will Ac.2:37-40, all are called but few will be chosen, Mt.20:16 and Mt.22:14.

The Bible uses unified theology from the Old Testament to New Testament, the doctrines of the Bible has many supporting scriptures, we never base doctrine on a single scripture. Never will a doctrine stand by one scripture alone. The Bible is written by men of a right mind and is to be received of men of a right mind as well; this cannot be done without the baptism and the regeneration of the heart and mind of a man into a New Creature 2 Cor.5:17, of a right mind! Before the Lord can blow anyone anywhere for the Lord’s service, they must have a right mind, Jn.3:3-8 & Tit.3:1-8 and 2 Tm.3:14-17 living in us before we are ready for His service. The Word of God is designed to reach anyone who is thinking with a mature mind. This age is also seen in scripture as well, see Num.14:20-35. The Epistles are to Saints of God who have been converted by the Holy Spirit already; these scriptures teach saints of God how to live correctly as told to do by Jesus Himself in Jn.15:20, If we love Him we will keep His commandments as well as those He commissioned and sent out to teach His instructions to the world, called the Gospel, the good news, the directions to God’s Kingdom and our Mansions, Jn.14:1-fs. We can have all the confidence in the word and scriptures of God, that He has not concealed anything that would hinder us from being one with Him, see Jn.17:1-26, to be One with God and in Him as he is one with us and in us, Lk.17:20-21. If truly born again of God His way Jn.1:12-13, seen in Jn.5:39-44; 3:3-8; and Ac.2:1-4 & 37-40! He alone is the author of His Bible, 2 Pt.1:19-21.

The Doctrine of God

Our God is a Spirit, as seen in Jn.4:24 that is a Spirit of Truth as seen in Jn.1:16-17 of Grace and Truth, who is Holy as we have been called to be Holy as He is Holy, which is also found in scripture in 1 Pt.1:16 and in the Old Testament in Lev.11:44-45; Lev.19:2 and even in 20:7; which is called out in Revelations too, Rev.4:8, who was and is and is to come is Holy, making our God the Holy Spirit, that was incarnated into man, Jn.1:1-14-18 and 1 Tm.3:16, clearly shows that God became man in Jesus Christ Ac.2:36 and who is LORD God of all Ac.10:36 as well. This is true Monotheism, One true God whose name is Jesus the Christ, and Jn.5:39-44 and Jn.17:1-26 shows this more than adequately for any scholar to see.

God is the power of the Highest, Luke 1:35, that can do anything Luke 1:37 as well as Mt.19:26 and many other verses show, such as when we find God asking us questions like this one, “Is the arm of the Lord’s shortened that it cannot do what He has said would come to pass?” See (NIV & KJV Is the Arm or Hand of the Lord shortened, that it cannot do what it was sent forth to do? No!), Num.11:23; Is.59:1 and Is.50:2 as well, there are more that can be found as well. God chooses to reveal Himself from time to time to His people in many ways. As a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passes between those pieces of sacrificed animals the Lord told Abraham to prepare for Him before the covenant was given to him from the Lord God, Gen.15:7-17; we have our Lord God appearing as an Angel of Light in Gen.1:3 (See Jn.8:12 as well and Jn.12:35-36-fs. too), let us return to Genesis in the 18^th chapter and we see three angles that appeared to be men and Sarah and Abraham washed their feet and prepared food for them and they did eat; one which was as we read in the scriptures was even the Lord God’s angel He prepared for Himself to be, a actual physical being, which Abraham knew from past times who came before him. See Jn.16:28 and Jn.17:1-26 as well and it will give you an idea of whom and what Jesus is talking about in those verses as well. God chose to reveal Himself in the seed of Mary to fulfill all prophecy as seen in Mt.5:17-20 and Heb.12:9 & 14. God is Holy and called all of His children to be Holy as well, see Eph.5:26-27 and 2 Pt.3:1-18 as well we are to be blameless, without spot or wrinkle, just as He is sinless, we are to be likewise, Jn.14:6, 2 Cor.5:19-21. God in His individuality is self existent, rational, and has a personality that is without change Mal.3:6 and Heb.13:8 show us this in the Holy Spirit and in Jesus as well: He is self existent and unchanging, eternal, and omnipresent (everywhere at the same time), omniscient (all knowing and all wise as well as all Understanding, the doing of all the aforementioned things), omnipotent (all powerful).

God’s moral nature is included in His personality, He is a pure example of these traits; He is pure Holiness; He is pure rational and reasonable Justice for one and for all without partiality to anyone’s person. He is Righteousness and pure Holiness which makes up His Godliness or His Divinity as some have miss translated Godhead, His Divinity (Theotetos, Strong’s # 2320), is His Sovereignty, having all dominion over all that exists, without forcing Himself on anyone. All are to come to know Him as their God and Ruler and King as Lord of all on their own, out of love for Him and for no other reason, if it is to be seen as pure of heart, for only they will see God Mt.5:8 & 48. God is merciful, and shows His favour to them who show grace to Him, Jn.1:16 as it is written in the scriptures. God is faithful and true and a loving God, who is always leaning towards us, wanting to meet with us to show us His goodness and that He is absolutely perfect in every way! 1 Jn.4:8 tells us God is Love, no other religion on earth can say that about their God!

Our God is a Holy God and being so He cannot have fellowship with sin or sinful people, God demands justice and righteousness in order to remain Holy in all Godliness! God’s justice demands retribution for all sin, the known and the sin committed in ignorance, the sin done in ignorance is forgivable and the sin that is done willfully is not, that sin of rebellion demands death to the sinner, as we read all of chapter 15 in the book of Numbers: And we read the story of the man found picking up sticks on the Sabbath after being warned already not to come out of their tents to do any Manuel Labor; verses 32-36 and then the law of tassels was brought forward for this reason so all would see the tassels and remember to keep all the commandments of God; verses 37-41. But in God’s love and mercy, He came to us in the flesh so that His very blood, the blood of God could cover the sin from before His eyes and cover it and so that those who would accept Him and His sacrifice, Ac.20:28 and Jn.20:28 could be cleansed by obedience to all His words to us, Jn.15:1-3-14-20 and those words of His ordained Apostles’ words to us as well, seen in their Epistles to the Saints of God; because that is who the epistles were written to, those who had been Born Again Jesus’ way, Jn.3:3-8 seen in Lk.24:47 and done in Ac.2:37-40 as seen in Ac.4:12 as well for no other name is given by which all Salvation comes to us in but One Name, the Name of our God with us, Jn.5:39-44, seen in Mt.1:23, Jesus’ name our Immanuel’s (Saviour’s) name! Those who repent and ask Jesus for forgiveness with a repented heart and mind that is pure for the reason of love and servant-hood will be rewarded for with eternal life with our Master, the LORD God of all, Ac.10:36 as seen in Ac.10:1-48 as well. This was amply shown to us in scripture, as we see in Ac.2:1-40, when about 3000 souls were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost and were then baptized in Jesus’ name, this then is the birth of the church of God in Christ Jesus, it was birthed about 1983 years ago in Jerusalem in Israel at the feast day called Pentecost meaning 50 days after the Passover and the days of unleavened bread, this is the feast of weeks or Shavuot.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost)

Those who reject the gracious acts of our God’s own Salvation will face His wrath come the Day of Judgment upon the universe for all sin that has entered into the Kosmon #2889, Jn.3:16-18 & 1 Jn.5:19! God’s Holy nature will not allow God to love, condone or ignore sin, all sin must be answered for. Even the Idle word we speak we will have to give an answer for Mt.12:36-37 and if our words do not match His words; will we not be found as liars? Mt.7:15-23 & Ro.3:1-4-fs tell us our answer to these questions.

God is absolute and indivisibly One, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD” (Deu.6:4), His eternal nature contains no essential distinctions or divisions: All names and titles of the Deity of God such as the word God, Jehovah, Lord, Father, Word, and Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, refer to one and the same divine being, without taking on any personages, see Jn.3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. And Jesus is the only begotten God of Himself, who is in the bosom of the Father which He is still in His omnipresence Jn.3:13 that is in Heaven as well, see 1 Tm.3:16 & 6:13-16 for further clarity of this understanding of how Jesus can be on earth and in the heavens as well by the Spirit in Him, Jn.14:7-18-26 shows us very well; see Jn.16:28-29 for further edification. Any plurality in the Hebrew language is a Hebraism, showing God is a multiple (Supernatural) power and is either repeated in the same verse or used the plural noun but with a singular verb showing us it is an act of the all powerful God in a singular tense verb that are spoken of in those actual God verses, such as haelohim (el-o-heem’) # 430, meaning of God, where we see the plural ending “im” being present, but in this case meaning a singular God, in Monotheistic Jewish Hebraisms of religion. And we are to be grafted into that olive tree, Ro.11:1-36 of Monotheistic understanding see Ex.3:14 and Jn.8:58 & then verse 24 and understand or you will continue to be in your sin for not being in Truth Jn.4:23-24 that is required of us in knowing Jesus as the I Am, not one of the we are, of a pagan theology of the philosophers and of the “Universal Church” of Rome!

Any plurality of God is only in His attributes, natures, titles, roles, manifestations, and modes of activity, or His relationship with mankind; there are many scriptures to show us His oneness; Is.42:8; 43:10-11; 44:6-8 & 24; 45:21-23; 46:6-9; Mk.12:28-30; Gal.3:20; 1 Tm.1:16-17 and 2:5; Jms.2:19 and many, many, more as well.

The title of the Father describes God as the Creator and Father of all creation from which the Universe was birthed or brought to a beginning. He is the Father of it and all of us as seen in Col.1:16-17 as well as Jesus the Christ who is God and man the begotten God Jn.1:18 as is translated correctly when seen in the Greek original verses! God became man the Son who is Man, Num.23:19, who became flesh 1 Tm.3:16, so the world could see His glory that cannot be given to another but God alone, see Is.42:8 and 48:11-19, this was evident in many verses showing us who Jesus really was in the flesh, he was God with us Mt.1:23 seen in His glory time and time again in scriptures as well; look at some of these for examples, 2 Cor.4:6; Lk.17:18; Jn.11:25-26 & 40; Mt.5:6; Mt.14:33, you see it was a sin to worship anyone but God or to bow down before anyone who was not God, and If Jesus were not God in the flesh, He would have been sinning to let anyone worship Him after healing them, which we see in scriptures every time He showed the people His glory, the Glory and power of God only! See 1 Cor.2:8, if they had known Christ as the Lord of Glory they would not have crucified him, but He had blinded their eyes so that they could be forgiven in their ignorance, as well as forgiving them on the cross and even those who had committed sin that only God can do, see these verses that show this; Ps.103:3; 130:7-8; Ex.15:26 and Num.14:17-19 etc.

God is the Father of all Born Again believers Ac.11:1-18, which is only found when we know the truth of who Jesus really is seen in Jn.8:24 or we are in our sins still! See verse 58 as well here, this explains the I Am seen in Ex.3:14 as well, as a title of God alone, singular! See Deu.32:1-12, there was no strange god with them but the LORD! Him alone all by Himself, He alone bought them for Himself, verse 6-9-fs.

The title Son only shows God becoming flesh and the fulfilling prophesies of the Sure Mercies of King David’s House and his heirs sitting on the throne of the Kingdom of Israel forevermore, this can only be done if God sits there and that was accomplished in Jesus! See Mt.5:17-fs. Jesus is the fulfillment of all prophesy see Rev.19:10, for only He is the Spirit of all prophecy, this showing us He alone is God Almighty Is.9:6-7. This is seen in Jn.10:30; Jn.12:45-50; Jn.14:6-18-26 Jn.15:1-3-14-20-27 & 27 to Jn.16:1-33 and 1 Jn.2:1-6 & 4:1-fs, for if we keep His commandments the world will hate us as it hated Him, as he warned us when we became His disciples to serve Him in word and deed, Col.3:17, and Jn.16:33! Because His word and the scriptures are Spirit and Truth; and they will war against the flesh, Ro.8:1-13 through further verses as seen in Jn.6:63 & 68 and Jn.5:39-44 as well. God the baby Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, see Jn.4:24 and Lk.1:35 & 37, the power of the Highest will come upon Mary and the Lord God will use that seed in Mary to constitute or incarnate Himself in that seed that was of a Levite seed, which was adopted into the line of Judah by Joseph the heir to the Kingdom of Israel and was the son of King David’s house in the tribe of Judah: Thus fulfilling roles and title to the High Priesthood and the King of Israel at the same time by heritage and relation. As seen in Ps.110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

²The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

³Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

⁴The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

⁵The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.

⁷He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

God with us will fulfill all these scriptures and these too when he returns for those called by His name: Ps.2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

²The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

³Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

⁴He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

⁵Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

⁶Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

⁷I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

⁸Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

⁹Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

¹⁰Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

¹¹Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

¹²Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

These and many more will all be fulfilled by the time Jesus sits on His throne before the world and the New Earth and Jerusalem comes down from the Father above that is of Himself, see 1 Tm.3:16 & 6:13-16 to understand these passages, as well as Jn.3:13 too.

To know Jesus is to have seen God and to know Him, Jn.12:45-50 and Jn.10:30 as well as Ex.3:14, Jn.8:24 and Mt.3:3 and Is.40:3 and Jn.3:34 and Col.2:1-12.

Jesus was actually conceived of Himself as seen in Lk.1:35 & 37 and Mt.1:18, 20 and 23! This is true Monotheism, which only God with us could accomplish in and of Himself, Rev.4:8. The Holy One became the Holy Deity and Divine Man Theanthropos, Greek for God and man, actually it should be spelled God is Man and we that are they who are made in His Image, see Num.23:19. As the Son of Man speaking of Jesus to come in the future advent!

The Spirit (Holy Spirit), who was literally Jesus’ Father and God which is conceived of God in and of Himself with the help of Mary’s blessed seed, became The Son who is Tou, n, e, even us, or Ho, He or To, number 3588, as the direct article not “OF” anything 3588 is not a possessive pronoun but a direct article that must be used that way or there is confusion and that is an Abomination to God! See Deu.22:5 for example or 1 Cor.11:1-16 or Ro.12:1-21, we are to behave as a Holy People of a Holy and Righteous nation of Godly principles and Commandments! The Holy Spirit then is called the Father, see Gen.1:1-2 & 3 as well as Jn.8:12 and Jn.12:35 Jesus is the Light of the world, showing us His God qualities in Him alone! The Holy Spirit identifies the qualities of God’s Holiness and forms the basis of His normal activities, particularly His anointing, regeneration, gifting, and indwelling Spirit in His children who are taught of Him, Jn.6:44-47; Mt.10:20, Lk.12:11-12; Mk.13:9 and Lk.21:14-15 seen in Jn.14:7-18 & 26 Jn.15:1-3-14-20 & 26 and they all who are His will be taught of God, Jer.31:31-34, Heb.8:8-13, 10:16-17 and Is.54:13 and all of Ezekiel chapter 37!

The gifting of the Holy Spirit are first seen in Joel.2:28 and Ac.2:14 described by Peter in Ac.2:16-21 and seen also in 1 Cor.12:1-31 and in Eph.4:1-32. Born Again children of God are to have gifts of the Spirit and are to be able to be tested, as seen in 1 Jn.4:1-fs. If we have separated ourselves from the unclean generation see Ac.2:40 and 2 Cor.6:14-18, then God will be our God and dwell in us as we are to be His Temples 1 Cor.3:16-17 and 6:19-20 and 2 Cor.6:14-18 as told earlier.

These terms can also be understood by God’s own revelations in and to us by Himself Mt.10:20, Lk.12:11-12, Mk.13:9 and finally in Jn.6:44-47 and in His words to us when read daily; He keeps imparting new understandings to us as we mature Spiritually, 2 Pt.3:18. The term Father relays the idea of God to us in a family way as our creator and we His children who are Born Again or regenerated by His doing Jn.1:12-13 and not man’s doing it but God with His indwelling Spirit Ac.2:1-4 and Ac.11:1-18, this is being sealed for the earnest of redemption, Eph.1:3-14. With power and Spiritual wisdom; verses 15-22. To have in fact His mind in us, 1 Cor.2:1-16 if we pursue Him to His final end, in us. So that it is not us who live but Him in us, to shine a light unto a lost world still in its darkness see Mt.5:14-16. So the sons of God can bring glory to their Father which is in heaven, just as Jesus said in Jn.17:1-26 and Jn.8:29 as we are to do in Him, 31, 32 and 36, if we are disciples of God in Christ Jesus 2 Cor.5:19-21!

The Son of man or the Son of God, is a miss translations to begin with, it should be the Son who or Himself is God as seen in the definite article of ton or tou or one of the other versions of that word number 3588, if studied correctly and translated correctly: Which would clear up a great deal of confusions and false doctrines! God in order to forgive sin required a blood sacrifice to be draw from a sinless source that was clean without Spot or Wrinkle in other words it has to be without blemish! And remission of sins cannot come about without the shedding of blood Heb.9:15-28 as seen starting in Ex.24:1-to Lev.14 and even in chapter 17:1-16. Without blood of a sinless sacrifice there can be no remission of sins! God had to robe Himself in flesh and come to be our Sacrifice, not one would worship a God who would send His own son to do something only God could do anyways, see Jn.4:35, Jesus and the Father are One Jn.10:30 and it is by Jesus, that the very flesh of God 1 Tm.3:16, was given for this very reason seen in Jn.10:1-18 as well. If God could not do that Himself, He could not be all powerful then could He (Lk.1:37), as seen in Lk.1:35 the Holy One, which is the Holy Spirit manifested in the flesh as the Son and God with us, Mt.1:23? Even though man can be a father, a son and his own person as well as a husband to a wife, God can be the same and only be One Deity and Divine Holy Person of all Godliness! That my friend is who Jesus is and will always be, Rev.4:8, Jn.17:1-26: Told repeatedly in the scriptures from the O. T. to the N. T. even though God became flesh He remained the same, Mal.3:6 and requirements of God remained the same as well, we are to serve Him, Mal.3:16-18 and keep His Commandments, Jn.14:15 and those of His appointed and commissioned apostles who were sent out by Him, Jn.15:20 that is our Job to Do, without blemishes, Eph.5:26-27 seen in Mt.5:8 & 48 as well as Gen.17:1, He changes not!

The Identity of Jesus

Jesus the Christ is both God and Man who is LORD of us! He alone is the One True God 1 Jn.5:20, incarnated in the flesh, Jn.1:1-14-18, seen in other scriptures as well being identified in them as seen in 1 Tm.3:16 and Jn.10:30 and 14:7-19 and Jn.12:45-50, when you have seen Jesus you have seen God, when the Father draws us to Him we find Jesus, Jn.6:44-47 and He reveals Himself to us Mt.11:27; Lk.10;22, Jn.3:34-35; Jn.13:3; 1 Cor.15:27-18 and Jn.6:44-47 just as it is in Jn.4:34! Only God can finish His work, which only God can do. Only in God can all the fullness of all Deity and Divinity dwell in Jesus bodily, Cor.2:1-12. That is why we must be baptized in Jesus’ name Ac.4:12; Ro.6:4; Gal.3:26-27 and Col.2:1-12 and Lk.24:47; because there is no other name we MUST be submitted to, the very one who died and had the power to raise Himself up from the grave by Himself, Jn.10:1-18. Only God with us could do that, only God has power over death, hell, and the grave as well as being born of a miracle birth, being born of a virgin, putting Himself inside the seed of Mary with the Spirit without measure, Jn.3:34 and having the words from heaven because it is He who came down from heaven, Jn.6:38; 8:23, 24 & 58! Only God can be the Holy Manna that came down from heaven from God above, Jn.6:51! It was God in Christ Jesus who was reconciling the whole world unto Himself by Jesus and making us new creatures by His regeneration, 2 Cor.5:16-2; it is God in Jesus which does the works, Jn.14:7-18-26 that is by Jesus’ Spirit, the Spirit of Truth (Jn.1:17), who will work through us, as we become One with Him, Jn.17:1-26, if we are truly His, Mk.16:15-20. This too is seen all the way through the book of Acts. God’s words to us are true, because He cannot be found a liar, Tit.1:2 and Heb.8:16 as seen all the way back in Num.23:19 and 1 Sam.15:29; Num.11:23; Is.50:2; 59:1; Is.55:1-13, you shall not take away from His words to us or add to them, they are all sufficient and all we will ever need for salvation, Deu.4:2; 12:32; Prov.30:6; Deu.5:32-33; 17:20; 28:14; Josh.1:7; Prov.4:27; 2 Tm.3:14-17 and Rev.22:18-19. Or you will be as those found in Jud.2:10 as seen in A.D.325 even as early as 150 A.D. Ac.20:25-38 came to pass, even in St. John’s times as well, seen and talked about in his first Epistle, as well as some others as well as seen in Jude’s writings. Antichrists were already coming into the churches drawing away men of God for the lucre of their own bellies. This fulfilling Jesus’ own words to us in Mt.24:1-51. Because God is the Spirit of all Prophecy Rev.19:10, Is.55:1-13 and His words to us are forever, Mt.24:35. Only Jesus is the image of the invisible God, manifested in the flesh as God and our Saviour, the express image of His person (substance), see 2 Cor.4:4’ Col.1:15-17; 1 Tm.3:16; Tit.2:10-15; Heb.1:3; 2 Pt.1:1-11 as seen in 2 Pt.1:19-21.

He is not the incarnation of one part of a trinity, but the incarnation of all the character, quality, and personality of the one true God, 1 Jn.5:20.

Acknowledging Jesus is to acknowledge the Deity of His substance and the very nature of His active will; without knowing who Jesus is, is to find one’s self without salvation! Without Truth in our lives there is no salvation, without knowing Jesus as God with us, the One True God, of all in all who fills all in all in Heaven and in earth and under the earth: He is the one Spiritual and now physical Immortal flesh a Glorified Essence that is inter-dimensional, time nor can space hold Jesus or contain Him, Col.1:16-17 nor could all the Psalms ever told even start to tell all that there is about our God, just as St. John said in the last verse of his Gospel account, Jn.21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen! See Jn.8:24 and understand! These men could not become disciples of Jesus anymore than anyone else who doesn’t know Him as the I Am; talking about the Sanhedrin the members of the High Priesthood of Israel, they had no Spiritual discernment of who Jesus is and without this knowledge, Mt.11:27; Lk.10:22; Jn.3:34-35; 13:3; 1 Cor.15:27-28; Jn.1:18 and 6:46, this is revealed to us by His Spirit in us, Ac.2:1-4, 8:16-17; 10:44-48 Ac.11:1-18 seen in 19:1-7 and even in Ac.22:16 and twice more at Paul’s own testimonies to the men of the Temple in Jerusalem and at the Roman Courts as well as in front of King Agrippa, all in the same book of Acts. All of these testimonies were told by Paul, but it was the Spirit of Jesus Christ in him who gave him the words to speak Lk.21:14-15! We see this here too in Mt.10:20, Lk.12:11-12 and Mk.13:9 and Jn.14:18 & 26 to 15:26 and in Jn.16:1-28 & 29. Our God will give to you what we are to say with His anointing, not man’s teaching can never come close to that, Jn.1:12-13!

Only if Jesus is the One True God, He only can have the power to save from sin, for only God has that power to be our one and only Saviour. He can forgive sin, Is.43:25-28; 44:22; 45:21-22; Jer.50:20; Ac.3:19; see Eze.36:22-38, only God can do all this and much, much, more as we have seen in Jesus alone. Jesus is He who accomplished this all by Himself and His sacrifices, as He healed the poor and the down trodden, opened eyes of one born blind and the deaf ears from birth and raising the dead, no one but our God is able to do all that (See Jn.21:25). Only God can heal and tell them on the Sabbath to take up their beds and go home, none but God can give that order and not be in sin, because He alone is Lord of the Sabbath and Sovereign God who will and does give mercy and grace upon whomever He will, Ex.33:19, Ro.9:15 & 18 & Mk.2:7.

All the titles of Deity can only be applied to God our Jesus; He shared these titles as well, all through the bible showing us time and time again, only He is God with us or Immanuel, Mt.1:23. See Jn.20:28; Lord in Ac.9:5; Jehovah in Is.45:23; with Phil.2:10-11; I Am is used of Jesus in Jn.8:24 & 58; Father Is.9:6; Rev.21:6-7; Word was used of Jesus in Jn.1:14 & 18, the begotten God, monogenes # 3439 meaning from one Gene, Theos is that Gene from which that Holy One came from, see Theos # 2316, the Almighty God, Is.9:6 became the Prince of Peace, the Eternal Father and Almighty God are all one in the same person, our Immanuel!

God the Father dwelt in the man Jesus Christ Jn.14:7-18 without measure Jn.3:34 because God is that One Holy Spirit Jn.4:23-24 seen in Jn.1:16-17-18! Jesus is that Grace and Truth which will live forevermore, that was in God from the beginning just as we all were, see Heb.12:9 and to who we all will return Ecc.12:7!

From the Word Aflame Publications: They explain it this way:

God the Father dwelt in the man Christ. Jesus said, “I and My Father are One” (Jn.10:30), “He that hath seem Me has seen the Father (Jn.12:45 & 14:7-9-18 to 26) …The Father that dwelt in Me, He doeth the works” (Jn.14:7-10). The Divine nature of Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit (Gal.4:6; Phil.1:19; see Jn.16:5-13 and then look to Jn.1:16-17 this is Jesus’ Spirit as well as. Jn.4:23-24 & Rev.19:10), which is the Holy Spirit which is the Father see (Jn.4:24; Mt.1:18-20 & 23 see chapter 10:23). “The Lord is that Spirit” (2 Cor.3:17; Rev.4:8 and 1 Tm.6:13-16), Jesus is the One on the Heavenly Throne, as we see by comparing the description of Jesus in Revelation chapter 1 seen in verse 8, 11, 17-18 is the same exact one who sits on the throne in Heaven see Rev.4:1-11; and by noting that “God and the Lamb” are titles, but is One Being in Rev.22:3-4.

Jesus is also the Lamb of God as well as the Son of God miss translated or the Son (who is) or (one who is) God, correctly translated! Or simply put The Son, The God of us. This is the only true way to translate the word of God Monotheistic-ally! Most other ways only leads to a Polytheistic way, Which God is not! He knows no other gods besides Him, see Is.43:1-28. There are many chapters in many other books of the bible that back up this theology, if one has eyes to see and ears to hear with, that are of the Lord Lk.21:14-15.

The Son, the God of us, did not die on the cross, He gave up the Ghost and stepped into another dimension, just as He told the man on the cross that was next to Him, “Today you shall be with me in paradise,” (Lk.23:43), after all God with us cannot lie at any time, His word is true, Jn.1:17!

You cannot separate the Deity that is in Christ Jesus, whether His body has life in it or not it is Divine property of God and is now eternal in Spirit and in nature, it will be one with the Spirit after He makes His point( Jn.10:1-18), that He alone is God, The Almighty over Death, Hell, and the Grave, nothing can bind the Lord but Holiness and Righteousness, which is His Godliness! He alone is God now Eternal as well in a glorified body, sitting on the throne in heaven, while His Spirit reigns with us on earth and dwells in the Saints of God, 1 Cor.3:16-17; 6:19-20 and 2 Cor.6:14-18, and Lk.21:14-15; where He will be our God as long as we stay on His narrow way and do not deviate off of that narrow way, not to the right hand or to the left Deu.5:32-33 & Mt.7:13-14! And few that there will be that even find His narrow way, Mt.20:16 and 22:14!

The union with humanity of a blessed seed of Mary in its purity, due to God blessing that seed, will result in a blessed Holy One that is conceived of the Highest power available that has ever been known, a pure Holy Godman a Theanthropos, a Divine Being of pure human Deity, merged into a New Thing, Lk.1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that (H)holy thing(ONE) which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of (Which should be omitted and nothing in its place, it should read Son God or Son, God: Or even maybe this verse should be translated this way; Son our God), God. Many things have to be remembered here in the History of the Church and the ages of development it went through especially after the Apostles were killed off being the first Martyrs for Jesus and His Teachings to us! Which He warned us would happen if we stayed on His narrow way, they would kill us thinking they were dong God a favour, when they would be helping the god of this world, called Satan! The Prince of the Air which will mimic anything God has already done, to appear to be an angel of light, see 2 Cor.11:1-(12-15).

Jesus is no longer the Christ but Glorified God of Heaven and of this earth and the new one to come, after He judges this one, (seen in 2 Pt.3:1-13), nevertheless we must keep to Jesus’ words to us and never deviate off that narrow way called the scriptures of God to His children called by Jesus’ name, Gal.3:26-27, those who have been buried with Him in baptism will be with Him for eternity if we walk in all His words to us, Jn.14:15 and Jn.15:20, just that simple.

Jesus was never the eternal Son, for that would lead to Polytheism which would mean more than one god, which comes to us from pagans, who had many gods in their religions as well as in Mythology of the Hellenistic Greeks and many others as well: (http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/greek-mythology). Many of these stories and even modern-day philosophies have evolved off of these times such Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, to modern times as well that try to get into the Bible by integration of ideologies! We see this today with more and more translations of the Holy Bible, each one brings in its own ideologies and theologies, which are heresy, which simply means a belief, see this site for the etymology of that word, not that it means it is right or wrong just a belief at one time but now has taken on the role of a negative connotation, to be called a heretic is not anything good in most eyes, unless you are fixed sure and fast to truth in Monotheism of One God, 1 Jn.5:20 whose name is Jesus, then you are right on target and hitting the bulls eye, in the center of the target!

(http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=heresy&allowed_in_frame=0)

heresy (n.)

“doctrine or opinion at variance with established standards” (or, as Johnson defines it, “an opinion of private men different from that of the catholick and orthodox church”), c. 1200, from Old French heresie, eresie “heresy,” and by extension “sodomy, immorality” (12c.), from Latin hæresis, “school of thought, philosophical sect.” The Latin word is from Greek hairesis “a taking or choosing for oneself, a choice, a means of taking; a deliberate plan, purpose; philosophical sect, school,” from haireisthai “take, seize,” middle voice of hairein “to choose,” a word of unknown origin, perhaps from PIE *ser- (5) “to seize” (source of Hittite šaru “booty,” Welsh herw “booty”).

The Greek word was used by Church writers in reference to various sects, schools, etc. in the New Testament: the Sadducees, the Pharisees, and even the Christians, as sects of Judaism. Hence the meaning “unorthodox religious sect or doctrine” in the Latin word as used by Christian writers in Late Latin. But in English bibles it usually is translated sect. Transferred (non-religious) use in English is from late 14c.

The Scriptures proclaim emphatically that Jesus the Christ is in fact a complete Human but so much more than the first Adam was, or the world would never had sinned at all because Jesus was human and without sin, 2 Cor.5:19-21 but became the punishment of sin for us, so we would not have to suffer His wrath to come, when He comes to judge the church first 1 Pt.4:17-19 and then the world, 2 Pt.3:1-13. Jesus is much, much, more than just another human being, see Is.9:6-7. Jesus has a human body, The Holy Spirit for His eternal soul and the active will of the flesh, which will war against the Spiritual things that pertain to God alone as seen in the Garden of Gethsemane or as seen in Mt.16:23, the things of this world are the things that will pass away but the things that are Spiritual are eternal, so one human being is to be separated from the Holy things of God! Such as this saying by the Apostles Paul, “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s Table, and of the table of devils.” 1 Cor.10:14-21 or 22. Jesus is a perfect human when He was with us on earth, with supernatural authority over all the elements of any physical universe manifestations! Which only God could do and have that authority, to forgive even sin. He could show mercy on whoever He wanted to show mercy on, Ex.33:19 and Ro.9:15-18 as well seen in the scriptures of God. Jesus’ humanity doesn’t mean He ever had a sinful nature, Jesus was baptized so to show His followers what He wanted them to do as well, so all Righteousness could be done unto them as He established with John the Baptist, in the Prophecies Is.40:3 and Mal.4:5-6 seen in Mt.3:1-17 and Jn.3:25-36, these were some of the prophecies that were fulfilled in the Gospels of Jesus Christ; He was man and without sin; Heb.4:15; 1 Pt. 2:22; 1 Jn.3:5. Jesus came with a kind nature not willing that any should be lost 2 Pt.3:9, this too must have been how Adam and Eve were at the beginning in a purity that comes from being made of and by our God who makes all thing good or perfect Mt.5:8 & 48!

Belief in Christ’s true humanity is essential to salvation (Jn.4:23-24; and 1 Jn.4:3). If God did not truly come in the flesh, there would be no salvation without His pure blood; a sinless blood for a sacrifice or we would then still be in our sins! There is no remission of sin without the shedding of innocent blood, Jesus is the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world, even before the foundations of the Universe! God had always known He would have to come and save mankind from itself and its own sins, before He ever said the first “Let there be”; this is the very purpose for the incarnation, it was for this same reason. He knew by allowing freewill to exist so Love could be manifested and come to life in us, we had to have the opportunity to fall short and fail in disobedience to His words to us, which Adam and Eve did; it doesn’t make any difference if it was the very same day the Lord made them and gave them the ordinances or command not to eat of that tree of “Good and Evil”, which is the tree of Knowledge many say, which today some hold as the greatest good; is to have all knowledge. This of course is impossible unless we are one with God and have His mind in us 1 Cor.2:1-16 by having His Holy Spirit in us as it was in Jesus! Only by God stepping into humanity can He grasp and pull the living dead away from a fiery wrath of God, from humanities own sin and awaiting death sentence! 1 Tm.2:5; Gal.3:20 and Eph.4:30 grieve not the Holy Spirit by which we are to be sealed! Or there is no Salvation without having His mind in us and being taught of Him, 1 Jn.2:1-20 -27-fs. Unless we have His mind 1 Cor.2:1-16, we do not know how to please Him do we?

It is necessary to distinguish clearly between Deity and humanity of Christ, without some manmade preconceived ideologies or Dogma! Jesus was much more than just a human He was a Human Deity a sinless vessel of God’s own Spirit in Him, making Him Jesus the first Theanthropos, or God-Man, 1 Tm.3:16! This is called out in scripture as well, look to Is.9:6 and Jn.8:58 as Jesus explained to the Sanhedrin just who He was and is, see Jn.8:24, if we do not understand Him to be saying that he was before Adam as the Holy Spirit who is God the I Am revealed to Moses in Ex.3:14 is the same God who revealed Himself to humanity to take away our sins and to be our propitiation for all past sin, Ro.3:25 and that we are to be filled with His Spirit, Jn.3:3-8 in water baptism in His name only Ac.4:12 or we are in our sin still, Jn.8:24! We either receive Salvation His way or we cannot be saved by any other way! No church, no priesthood and for sure no man made organization can save anyone, no matter how many ritual cleansings or baths or baptisms you go through unless Jesus prescribed it in His scriptures and the gospel is the plan of salvation, it is much more than just the “Good News” as many proclaim, it is the complete instructions on how to find God’s own Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness of our sins, and to learn of Him, so we know how to please Him and go and sin no more, or a worse thing will come upon you as well, Jn.8:11 and 5:14 reveal this to most who know God and the power of His Spirit to live a Holy and Righteous life style that is in Him and He is us, Jn.14:6 and 2 Cor.6:14-18! That is why God came to us in the flesh to save His own and to be the Holy One of Jacob the Mighty One, Is.49:26! Many times Jesus spoke in His humanity as an example to show us what to say or how to act in a human standpoint but always still being in the Spirit with Truth in all things: Showing us His divine viewpoints so we too can know how to walk with Him Amos.3:3: Even as the Father Jesus spoke in His divine consciousness; just as Jesus did in His human consciousness giving us again a righteous viewpoint from a sinless side of humanity. Only as a man, could Jesus our God with us, grow and be tested of the devil, (Remember God cannot be tempted, Jms.1:13, so God cannot be tempted either!), although we can be tested, as even Jesus was in the wilderness for forty days, one day for each year Israel was in the wilderness, so was God in the flesh to prove Himself to us as well as mankind that He too is willing to endure everything He put us through for Him; even to die on the cross for sins of others, Jn.15:13-17.

Only by God becoming flesh could He experience all that we do; to hunger, to be tired and need to sleep, to thirst, and to need to pray, even to Himself in the Spirit to protect His flesh and to get strength to endure to the end, for only those who endure to the end will be saved, those who overcome as He has shown us in Jn.16:33, will be His forevermore! This too is brought out in chapters 2 and 3 in the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to St. John.

While Jesus was on earth He was fully God and man, not just another anointed prophet, He was the Almighty God, who could do all things Lk.1:37 and only by His word could anyone be saved, or healed, or forgiven. Jesus possessed all authority and even knew the thoughts of others when they only thought something about Him, as in Lk.7:36-50. Jesus is God by right, nature, and identity; He is not merely deified by an anointing or indwelling; unlike a Spirit filled believer; the humanity of Jesus is or was inextricably joined with all the fullness of the Holy Spirit who is God, Jn.4:24! Here is the entirety of Jesus; God is fully God and still fully God in Christ Jesus because there is no God or any God formed after Him, Is.43:10-11-13! That is the long of it and that is short version of it!

The long version of it: Jesus is the fullness of God dwelling in perfect humanity and manifesting Himself as a perfect human being. He is not a transmutation of God into the flesh, the manifestation of a portion of God, or the animation of a human body of God, or God temporarily dwelling in a separate human person; Jesus Christ is the incarnation—embodiment, human personification—and the One True God 1 Jn.5:20! The actual manifestation of the word of God and His name Jn.5:39-44 that cometh from God alone, Jn.1:12-13!

Angels and Demons

Our One True God created all substances and even the Heavens and the Universe and all Spiritual (HOLY) and spiritual (fallen and in their sin) beings. Heb.12:9; Gen.1:1 and Rev.4:11 are just a few that show these scriptures that support these facts. Scripture must always back up our claims, teachings, and or dogma, decrees and symbols! Before the creation of this world God created angels, who are Spirit beings with personalities. They too have free will and some chose to be their own masters and not to follow the commands of God these are the fallen spirits. Only the Holy Ones are to be capitalized in their names or figurative speaking or literal speaking of them. Just as only the true Saints of God who are Holy in His eyes are to be capitalized. Unless talking about them in the Epistles for only the Epistles are written to no one but the Saints of God, who have had the upper room experience Ac.2:1-4, for this is God’s repentance towards us, when He redeems us from the wrath of sin, see Ac.10:1-48 and Ac.11:1-18 those verses explain this very well.

There are different types of angels, such as Archangel, Seraphim, and Cherubim are some that are mentioned in the Bible, there are bound to be others as well. The fallen angels came unto the sons of men and used their daughters to bring into the world beings called demons. Offspring of the fallen angels that were allowed to destroy themselves for five hundred years. The fallen angels could do nothing but watch their own young destroy themselves; for there was nothing good in them and they turned on anyone without cause or reason, this was part of the punishment of God on all of them. These fallen demons are the ones that roam the world looking for the weak to inhabit, see in Mk.5:1-20. 2 Pt.2:4, the fallen angels are reserved and bound to Hell but the demons their offspring are they which cause havoc in the world today. Much more is told in the bible but the study of angels is not important! Some religions even worship them and even the fallen saints of God (Catholicism), which is not tolerated of the Lord, He is a Jealous God and all worship is due to be given to Him alone! The only study that is important is to know that we have dominion over them and sin, but we have to take authority over them and sin itself see Gen.4:7, even Cain was warned of God about this too. So we have two types of angels, the fallen; and the holy ones still serving God and helping the Lord as servants to Him alone. See Col.2:18, we do not need to worship them or study them, they are the Lord’s servants and Jesus said some day we too will be as the angels as well, see Mk.12:24-25. Anymore than this is a waste of time.

Humankind

God created man and woman in His image He created them, in His spiritual, intellectual, moral, and ethical image, (Gen.1:1-27), humans are made of body and in that body they have life or spirit that is in the blood, even in animals the spirit or life is in the blood (Lev.17:11-13), we are not to eat anything with the blood in it see Ac.15:1-(18-21)-35. We are a spiritual being as well that has an eternal soul, just as God is eternal we too are now made in His likeness and are eternal, which cannot be destroyed by God or we would not be in His image and the apple of His eyes or have dominion over all that He has created for us and His enjoyment, as well as ours. This living soul of ours is headed for Hell’s fires unless we find Jesus our deliverer, our redeemer, our very own Saviour, that has purchased us with His own blood, the very blood of God Ac.20:28 and Jn.20:28. See 1 Thes.5:23, we are to be found blameless, just as seen in Eph.5:26-27, or we too cannot be with Him for eternity! For the children of God keep themselves from all sin 1 Jn.5:17-18. See also 1 Cor.15:33-34, these are our commandments to us Jn.14:15 & 15:20! Only a Born Again child of the Most High God can have power over the flesh and sin in their own lives Ro.8:1-13 and mortify the flesh that wars against the Holy Spirit, Gal.5:17, only with a regenerated heart of God manifested in us can we show His love to all mankind and fulfill all the law with a perfect heart that is pure, Gal.5:14 seen in Mt.5:8 and 48! The word has inherited the sin nature from Adam and sin has entered into the world and it is in its own wickedness 1 Jn.5:19. The whole world needs to be redeemed or it is going to be found in Hell’s fires seen in Is.66:24 and 2 Pt.3:1-13-18, for that is what this world will be; the pit of Hell with no bottom in it, with no sides, just a bottomless pit. With a gulf that none can cross over once there; as in the story of the Rich man and Lazarus, Lk.16.

Man’s soul is comprised of many parts and has many functions such as these: The souls and spirit comprise the eternal part of man which are intellect, personality, emotions, will, self-consciousness, intuition, conscience, and God-consciousness.

Originally, human nature was sinless and pure or innocent of all sin; with a total amount of freewill. We still have freewill today but unless we are regenerated back into His likeness we are still in our sin and bound for His wrath to come. Adam and Eve chose to eat that which was forbidden to eat of and brought sin into the Cosmos called the Universe and the earth was cursed due to this sin, and so this earth and this universe will one day face a purification process as well as our soul or we to will be in God’s Wrath with this world. This too is foretold to us in many scriptures of prophecy, Mt.24:1-51, Dan.12:1-3, and the book of Revelation: Which is found in many of the prophecies of the prophets of God to His people; trying to prepare them for what is to come. The Lord would that none should perish in Hell’s fires, 2 Pt.3:1-9, see 10-18 as well! Everyone now who is born has been born under a sin nature; the impulse to sin generally is compulsive without even thinking about our actions first; generally we think if we are not hurting anyone in our sin, we tend to think it is alright; but today’s evilness that has been proclaimed in the Holy Scriptures such as seen in the books to Timothy from St. Paul, tell us why such evil is in the world today, 2 Tm.3:1-9. It is caused by the sinful flesh and nature of mankind in general after the fall. This is the age of the dominion of sin, see Ro.3:9; 5:12, and 19; and 7:14, with many, many, more scriptures to chose from in the Bible, that would amount to a study all of its own! This sinful nature inevitably leads to sinful acts, the resulting in condemnation, Ro.6:23.

The Bible emphatically declares that all humans are sinners, 1 Kin.8:46; Prov.20:9 and Is.64:6. Everyone is under the curse of sin and is guilty before the Lord our God, who is Holy and pure! See Ro.3:9-19, there is none righteous no not one, for all have come short of the glory of God, Ro.3:1-23.

As a result of sin entering into the world and into humanity, the whole human race is condemned to die for the punishment of sin is death to the sinner, Ro.6:23, for the wages of sin is death, Sin when it is finished bringeth forth death and the ultimate separation from God and eternal life with Him, our Lord Jesus who died for us!

Everyone needs salvation from sin and the nature of sin, to have power over that nature by being born again of God and His salvation is only found in Jesus Christ.

The Saving Work of Jesus Christ

God came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to save His creation from sin as seen in Jn.3:16-18, this is the main purpose for God becoming man, so that He could have blood to shed for the sacrifice for sin, as you know God is a Spirit Jn.4:24, so He had to come in the seed of a virgin to show that this was a supernatural birth of God not man, Jn.1:12-13, that was of God’s doing and not man’s! This was done by Mary, a willing vessel, the Handmaiden of God, not the mother of God; she was a tool, a means to a teleological means of Salvation to a world and universe that is cursed due to sin entering through man, Gen.3:¹⁷And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ¹⁸Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; ¹⁹In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

For this reason God came to us in the last age of His grace, that was the gospel, the good news, that God had come to mankind to lead it into salvation, that is why Jesus came preaching the Gospel that the Kingdom of God was with man, Mt.12:28; [Dan.2:⁴⁴And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever; 7:14; Lk.1:33]; 11:20; Lk.11:²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.; [Lk.17:20-21; 1 Jn.3:8]; This is the reason God had to come in the flesh, no one other than God could finish His work He had to do see Jn.4:³⁴Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

None other than God manifested in the flesh could have words that are eternal and cannot be broken, Jn.10:35; Mt.24:35 and Is.55:1-13 and Is.40:8. His words are eternal and no one can change them or add to them or take away from them, Deu.4:2; Gal.1:8-9; to Rev.22:18-19, God stays the same, Mal.3:6 and Heb.13:8 show us this and it is by His words to us we receive His grace, which is His favour and love for obedience to His every word to us, Mt.4:4 from Deu.8:3 to Lk.4:4; Lk.11:28; Mt.12:31-32; to 46-50 and Jn.8:47 & 51, we abide in His words to us that were taught to His Apostles Jn.15:20 and abide with their teachings only or we fall short of our calling don’t we? There is no such thing as once saved always saved, see 2 Pt.2:¹But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

²And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

³And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

⁴For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

⁵And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

⁶And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

⁷And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

⁸(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

⁹The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished:

¹⁰But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

¹¹Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

¹²But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

¹³And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

¹⁴Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

¹⁵Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

¹⁶But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

¹⁹While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

²⁰For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

²¹For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²²But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

God is not deceived, He will not be mocked, you will reap what you sow, Gal.6:1-7! See Jn.8:34 and Ro.6:16, you serve sin and you will reap the whirlwind! God demands Holiness and Righteousness in His house, Mt.5:17-20 and Heb.12:14, without both holiness and righteousness that is only found in His truth to us there can be no sanctification, Jn.17:19 by truth we are sanctified in Him Jn.4:23-24, it is required of us to grow in His Grace and the Knowledge of who Jesus the Christ really is, 2 Pt.3:18! That is our purpose to serve Him as a loving servant of God Lk.17:7-10, that is our duty, and if done right we will then become His friends, Jn.15:1-27 and know of the Father in Him, Mt.11:27; Lk.10:22; Jn.3:34-35; 13:3; Jn.14:7-18 & 26; 15:1-3-20-26; 16:28; if done correctly we too will have overcome this flesh and the world of wickedness, Jn16:33 as He did as a witness to us; to show us to follow Him in word and deed Jn.14:6 and Col.3:17 according to all His teachings to us; so we too can be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect Mt.5:1-8-48! See what a spouse to the Lord is to be like in Eph.5:²⁶That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ²⁷That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish!

The saving work of Jesus Christ as our God with us, keeps us from all sin, if we abide in Him and His words of eternal life abide in us, Jn.6:63 & 68, for His word to us is eternal and it is life giving! Only God has the words of Eternal life to and for us, who are called by His name: His Words are powerful in defeating all sin, for all those who walk in the Spirit (Word of God) and in Truth, Ro.8:¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (WORDS OF TRUTH! THEY ARE HIS SPIRIT TO US! HIS MIND AND HIS WILL FOR US SO WE KNOW HOW TO WALK BEFORE HIM JN.8:29, TO PLEASE HIM!)

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

³For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

⁴That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

¹³For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Read unto the end to verse 39.

It is required for all men to die once for sin, due to Adam and Eve’s sin that entered into our realms of living, and it is up to us to be born again from this death sentence, by the words of God done His way, as only found in His words to us seen in Lk.24:47, which answers Mt.28:19 and the question in Ac.2:37, when one asked men and brethren what shall we do to be saved? Peter gave the correct answer in Ac.2:38-40 and with many more words did Peter and the Apostles testify to the people. Who then were all baptized in Jesus’ name for there is no salvation outside of Jesus’ name Jn.14:14, Ac.4:12 for there is no other name given by which we, MUST BE SAVED! This is the only Salvational baptism found in the Bible which speaks of Eph.4:4-5 that is the one spiritual baptism found in Ac.2:38-40; 8:16-17; 10:44-48 (The first Gentile uncircumcised household, of a Roman Soldier. His name is Cornelius.); then we see Paul in Ephesus in Ac.19:1-7 and even Paul himself in Ac.22:16 being baptized in Jesus’ name calling upon the name of the Lord! Which Paul gave witness to in the courts of Jerusalem, Caesarea, and then all the way to Rome; Paul’s life was a witness of all that God had done for him in Jesus the true KING of kings and LORD of lords! There is no other God besides Him and never will there be! He came to cleanse for Himself a people who He knew would answer the call, FOLLOW ME!

There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, and there is only one way to follow Him, Jn.14:6 explains this quit well! He alone is the only way; He alone is the only Truth; and He alone is the Life we are to live with Him as our example! In purity and sinless as He is sonless, see Mt.5:8 & 48, even do a word search on the word teleios, meaning complete, lacking nothing; Perfect and Good, are considered lacking nothing! See 2 Tm.3:14-17 for an example here.

The Old Testament foreshadowed Christ’s death by animal sacrifices, without blood being shed or death coming upon the recipient there can be no satisfaction or justice, for justice demanded death for the offences of all sin. This was God’s ordinance, the blood of the sinner is required and the only way to get around it was for innocent blood to be shed for the sinner or the sinner himself was to be taken. He was to be taken outside the camp and stoned to death, and if he was to be cursed they were to hang him on a tree after stoning, for all to see. This was to act as a deterrent for all to know what would happen to them if they broke the commandments of their God. He demands justice and Holiness and Righteousness to live with Him in their camp. Just like He is to live inside of us, we are to be His Holy, Righteous Temple, 1 Cor.3:16-17; 6:19-20 and 2 Cor.6:14-18 demands this from us in order for Him to live in us, Ac.2:1-4! The animal’s death in the Old Testament was just an atonement for the sins of that person for that year, for the known sins and even the unknown sins, and any time a sin became known it had to be atoned for with a sacrifice, this was demanded. There were other sacrifices which represented a right relationship with God such as freewill offerings, with all these offerings there was one important thing about them, they were only for a temporary duration; that is what atonement means, it atones for that year and must be repeated next year, for all sins were just rolled ahead to the next Day of Atonement (Lev.23:27-31, then comes the Feast of Tabernacles on the 15 day of the seventh month. Atonement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur), came before to rid them of their sin so they could feast in the Tabernacle with God, for seven days, this is First Fruits and then the next day will be the eighth and it will be a Sabbath day, Lev.23:36-44.), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover): Always rolling the sin forward never actually forgiven, just thrown forward till next year’s fast of atonement preparing for the feat of Passover and First Fruits and Booths or Tabernacles Feast, then comes Pentecost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost),

See chapter 23 of Leviticus for the Fasts and Feast Days and their Holy-Days; these are only celebrated in remembrance only, there is not any atoning value to them anymore see Ro.14 and Col.2:1-fs. Jesus is our Propitiation once and forevermore for all the sins of the world or Cosmos, Universal sin. That is why God came to be a man for us to die as a propitiation for all sin, so He would not have to destroy us with the Universe that is still in its wickedness and curse of sin, for this reason it must be purified with water or cleansed by fire and the Lord told Noah with a covenant that He would never destroy all mankind and the animals, ever again with a flood. The rainbow is that seal to give a remembrance of that covenant with Noah, Gen.9:1-17.

Only by obedience to His every word can we be found as Righteous and Holy and He is Holy, for any unrighteousness is a sin, 1 Jn.5:17-18 and God’s Children keep themselves from all sin, as seen in 1 Jn.3:¹ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

²Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

³And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

⁴Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

⁵And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

⁶Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

⁷Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

⁸He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

⁹Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

¹⁰In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

We now have the power over sin and the flesh that wars against the Holy Spirit and God’s Ordinances, Statutes, Covenants, Sayings, and Precepts; every line upon line and line upon line for a reason, it is the path and the narrow way to His rest, Is.28:9-12 or you find yourself with all the rest of the Hypocrites seen in verse 13 here in Isaiah or as seen in Mt.7:13-14 & 15-23, one headed for Glory and the other headed for Hell’s fire that is never quenched, seen in Mk.9:³⁵And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

³⁹But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

⁴⁰For he that is not against us is on our part.

⁴¹For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴²And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

⁴³And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

⁴⁴Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁵And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

⁴⁶Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁴⁷And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

⁴⁸Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

See Is.66:¹ Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

²For all those things hath mine handmade, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

³He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine’s blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

⁴I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

⁵Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

⁶A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord that rendereth recompence to his enemies.

⁷Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

⁸Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

⁹Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the Lord: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

¹⁰Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

¹¹That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

¹²For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

¹³As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

¹⁴And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the Lord shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.

¹⁵For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

¹⁶For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many.

¹⁷They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

¹⁸For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

¹⁹And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

²⁰And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

²¹And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord.

²²For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

²³And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.

²⁴And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

For this reason God came to us so we could be partakers of His blessing and not His wrath to come upon all wickedness! For this reason we worship Jesus as Lord God and our Saviour, the Mighty One of Jacob, Is.49:26 and Is.9:6 the Almighty God, the Eternal Father and the Prince of Peace that is who Jesus is! If we do not know Him in that way we are in our sin still and under a strong delusion that is given out in these last days! 2 Thes.2:³Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

⁴Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

⁵Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

⁶And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

⁷For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

⁸And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

⁹Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹²That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

¹⁴Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

¹⁶Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

¹⁷Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

For that reason Jesus is our God manifested from the seed of Mary His own Handmaiden, not the mother of God, but a willing servant of God! Used to bring glory to mankind and the Kingdom of God down to mankind!

The Bible describes Christ’s death several ways;

Redemption or a ransom, Mt.20:28; Gal.3:13-14; 1 Tm.2:5-6. To redeem means to deliver by paying a price; ransom is the price paid. Christ’s blood the blood of God Ac.20:28 & Jn.20:28; Christ’s blood is life & it is Spirit for the spirit of any creature is in the blood of that animal, even mankind. This was required for the price of sin, life or the death of an animal in our place, but the animal never took sin away forevermore, it only rolled the sin ahead till next year but God’s Blood was all sufficient to cover sin that is past, Ro.3:25 and the power to go and sin no more by His Holy Spirit being imparted upon us after purification of our hearts, Mt.5:8 so it is He who can make us His perfect workmanship by creating in us a new heart and mind, 1 Cor.2:1-16, if we are truly born again of Him and His Spirit in us, Ac.2:1-4 seen in Joel 2:28 through further verses here as well. See also, 1 Pt.1:18-20 & 1 Pt.4:17-19; Rev.5:8-10.
Propitiation3:¹⁹Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

²⁰Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²¹But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

²²Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

²³For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

²⁴Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

²⁵Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

²⁶To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

²⁷Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

²⁸Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

²⁹Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

³⁰Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

³¹Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

1Jn.2:¹ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

²And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

³And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

⁴He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁵But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

⁶He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

We either walk before God the way He showed us to walk before Him or we are still in our sins! We only deceive ourselves to disobey God and worship Him any other way but the way He told us to, see 1 Jn.5:21! In Vain would it be to worship God without being in His Truths, it is required of us, Jn.4:23-24.

This propitiation allows God to pardon sin without jeopardizing His Holiness and it satisfies the requirements of the law, which God has established for one and for all, He is not a respecter of persons! All are required to find salvation through the redemption of Jesus Christ’s blood that was shed on the cross at Calvary. Christ’s death fulfilled this requirement and those who seek salvation in His commandments to us are they who will abide in His every word to us and to those given to us by His Authorized Commissions and sent forth to teach all; that He taught them to teach in His words, to all the nations! The Apostles of Jesus Christ are those who are the only ones we are allowed to follow, and those of the Prophets of God, who have a word from God for the children of God, and those Evangelists who make disciples of Jesus Christ by following the words of the prophets and the Apostles and Jesus Himself, for all of their words are to agree with each other and with Jesus’ or they are false Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Preachers and Teachers! The Bible is our only source of teaching and all other must agree to it: Or be a heretic! Jesus is the only one who can purchase us unto Himself by His purchased price the atoneing blood of God, Ac.20:28 and Jn.20:28, must be preached and taught or it is we who have failed to teach correctly. See Jms.3:1, for this reason not many should try to be teachers. Ro.3:1-4 tell us why. Mt.26:²⁸For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Jn.1:²⁹The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Reconciliation Only Jesus is the mediator between God the Holy Spirit, and man, who is in his sin; man who is polluted being in a sinful environment, in a sin filled world that is in its own wickedness 1 Jn.5:19. Let us look to these scriptures; Ro.5:⁶For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

¹¹And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

2 Cor.5:¹⁴For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

¹⁵And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

¹⁶Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

¹⁷Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

¹⁸And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Christ is the man who is the only Mediator (1 Tm.2:5 and Gal.3:20) because God is One. And only a sinless man Christ Jesus can mediate between a Holy Spirit which is God by being the Holy Vessel for God to dwell in to bring to us His own Salvation, that is worthy of Himself, for all cleansing to occur, that is only found in His words to us Jn.1:1-3-14-20-26 that are given to us by His Holy Spirit, Lk.21:14-15 in Himself without measure Jn.3:34. That is how Jesus can be our Mediator as well as Redeemer, and Saviour, to finish a work in us, Tit.3:1-8, so we too can have good works that are thoroughly furnished unto perfection and of a Godly Goodness. Then and only then can we have fellowship with God.

Substitution In Isaiah chapter 53 we see the Prophet showing us the future events in Jesus’ own life that will occur for our own salvation and redemption. As well as 2 Cor.5:1-21 show us that we too must become new creatures transformed into His image that is of God’s doing and none other, see Jn.1:12-13 to see this too; as well as 1 Pt.2:1-25, shows us that we too are to reside in Him and His actions are to be our actions, while He lives in us, or how is it we can say we are transformed into His likeness? Without being a new creature in Christ Jesus! No one will be found as Righteous, not without His Spirit in us, can we have His mind to show us the narrow way, His narrow way, that is by His Spirit and word living in us that cleanses us Jn.5:3 found all the way to Rev.22:21 and from Gen.1:1 clear into the other works that were not even published. We find much that can agree with the Holy Bible in the Pseudepigrapha and even in the Apocrypha the lost writings and the writings of unknown authors; even Hebrews has an unknown author and is in the Canon and it has some errors found in it as well, showing it is not all inspired words of God but from a disciple of the Apostles, see Heb.2:1-4. But the book of Hebrews can still be gleaned and find some truths that are righteous and worthy of passing on, just not all of it, as seen in the Epistles of the Apostles; which is inspired of the Holy Spirit as seen in 2 Pt.1:19-21 and 1 Pt.1:9-11 seen even in Zech.12:10, which is The Holy Spirit speaking to the Prophet 530 years before the actual fact happened because Jesus is that Holy Spirit of all Prophecy Rev.19:10! One in the same! We see this here too; Mt.10:20; Lk.12:11-12; Mk.13:9 and Jn.6:44-47 and Lk.21:14-15. One in the same Spirit without measure Jn.3:34. Because He comes from above and He has the words of God within Him, Jn.8:23-24! Jesus is the one who bore our sins and by His bloody back with many stripes that released His blood upon the alter of the cross of shame, being the cursed One bearing our shame upon His back, we became the righteousness of Him if we follow Him in word and deed, Jn.14:15, if we love Him, we will do that for Him, so we too can be one with Him and return to the very one we serve, Ecc.12:7-14 seen in Jn.8:34 and Ro.6:16 and Mal.3:16-18, who are you going to serve, with all your heart, mind, spirit, soul, and strength? That is what is going to make the eternal difference, Mt.16:24-27-28; Mk.8:34-38; Mt.12:31-32 & 46-50 as well as Jn.12:45-50! Jesus is He who we owe everything. 1 Cor.5:6-8-13, we are not to eat with fornicators, those who are un-Godly, for bad manners corrupt and bring forth evil communications see 1 Cor.15:33-34, that is why we are not to be in sin, to our own shame. Jesus did not die and shed His Holy Blood so we could continue in our shame and sin; He came to put sin away and the power of death that is found in all sin. See Jn.8:11 and Jn.5:14 or a worse thing will come upon us as well: To have known the good way of God and His Righteousness; then to go back into the world, so it would have been better for them not to have known the way of Righteousness, than to go back into the world of wickedness, just because of material gains or lusts of the flesh or the pride of life, 2 Pt.2:1-22; 1 Jn.2:15-17; Mt.13:1-51.

After Christ died (when He left His flesh and went back to being God, Jn.16:27-28, this is seen in 1 Tm.6:13-16 as well, Jn.13:3. Jesus told the man who was on a cross next to Him that today he would be in Paradise with Him, Lk.23:43, to show Jesus did not really die as we know death.), scripture shows what Jesus was doing while they were burying His body and it was in the ground for three days and nights; such as this one, 1 Pt.4:5-6, Ac.10:41-44, that those dead in their sins can be forgiven, even those who were preached to that were after Noah, 1 Pt.3:¹⁸For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: ¹⁹By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; ²⁰Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water; through to verse 22.

After three days Jesus reappeared with a glorious body as told to them in Mt.16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. This was done in Jn.20:28 as well and Ac.1:1-26. Even by Paul on his way to Damascus, Ac.9. Jesus has proven Himself victorious over the entire world and what makes it up, nothing is bound to Him but His word, that even He must keep, Jn.10:1-18, that He by His own power raised Himself from death, hell, and the grave, even to go into Heaven and fill it over all, Jer.23:24; [Ps.139:7]; Amos.9:1-3-15 yet to be fulfilled. [1 Kin.8:27]; as is the same in Ps.139:7 before. The effect of overcoming the flesh; having immortality in Christ Jesus alone; Ro.4:23-25. 1 Cor.15:1-23, though fs. He will come for those called by His name and live unto Him so that the Son’s of God can bring glory to God by them and their works of faith abiding in all His words to us.

After forty days Jesus ascended up into heaven, and told the Apostles to return to Jerusalem and wait till they had been endued with power from on high, which is the promise of the Father seen in Jn.14:7-18 & 26, that happened in Ac.2:1-4 seen also in Joel.2:28, that Peter preached on the day the church was sealed and born of the Holy Spirit in them. For this is the sign of His sealing us for eternal life, Eph.1:1-14. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit we have power to become new creatures in righteousness of God in Jesus in us 2 Cor.5:17-21 and now Christ Jesus is exalted forevermore, Eph.1:20-21; Phil.2:9 and it is to Him we will give an answer to in verse 10, that is why it is mandatory for each of us to work out our own salvation, Phil.2:12 and abide in Christ’s words to us. Many times Jesus hid His glory, from the public, but many times He revealed it to His Apostles then disciples and to those who He healed and to those who He brought back to life in a private setting so the fame of Him would not be because of the miracles so much but for His teachings instead. That was the most important part of His ministry to teach the world a right way to go; bound and locked in truth, righteousness, and Holiness which is Godliness, with contentment is great gain, 1 Tm.6:1-6! Striving for Spiritual gains, 1 Tm.4:1-16, these things lead us to salvation, those who will endure to the end, will be saved, as promised in the words of our God with us, Mt.24:13. We who are now baptized in the Holy Spirit of God in us, are not only blessed, but we have been given authority to preach and teach this gospel to all nations being good disciples of Jesus Christ, and not only that it gives us direct access to the Throne of all Glory, by that one and only sacrifice Jesus did for us on the cross, Heb.10:12-17, when He put His laws and wrote them upon our heart, when He gave us His mind, 1 Cor.2:1-16, so that we too can go forth and bring this Gospel to all nations and all who draw breath, for He knows who He has called and when this gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come Mt.24:14. For access to the throne of God see Ro.8:31-37; Heb.4:14-16; and 1 Jn.2:1-29, it takes all scripture living in us to be found pure of heart and Perfect as he is perfect Mt.5:8 & 48 seen in Eph.5:26-27 and 2 Pt.3:1-18, being complete in all knowledge of Him and His words to us 2 Tm.3:14-17 unto salvation and good works.

The cross shows us what happens to sinners, they will die the death of the cursed of God. The cross and the blood of Jesus Christ reversed all that shame and guilt if we love the Lord and ask for His forgiveness with a pure heart that has repented and gone a new direction! And walk in His statutes for us, Jn.14:15 And Jn.15:20 and those of the Apostles! Everything the human race lost due to sin, the assemblies of the Saints of God will more than make up and regain in Christ Jesus in the end; when He comes to gather his flocks scattered all over the world, from the north, to the south, and from the east to the west, He will bring them Home to Himself, all those who are called by His name walking in His Truths! See Jn.1:16-17 and Jn.14:6 for His directions to eternal life with Him!

Believers of His Truths will enjoy the blessings which are the results of His working in us and through us for our God and the Kingdom’s good. Walking in His directions and in His commandments is like being protected from all harm; His words to us not only keep us cleansed from all sin but it is a strong tower that none can penetrate; we are protected from the world and its wickedness! The blessings of the Lord are too many to go into great details on, so I will only mention a few; the benefits of living for God in Christ Jesus is eternal life in joy unspeakable; we will receive the fullness of all that God has to offer, things so glorious we are not allowed to say. But most of all is the forgiveness of sins and the curse that sin brings has vanished as long as we stay on His narrow way, to His strait gate. We will have His power over sin and the flesh, to have power to walk in Jesus’ light and to be a light unto all nations, a light set on top of His Hill. Is.53:5, we are healed to walk before Him in purity, in His grace in us, so we too can give it to others, by laying on of hands. Ro.8:19-26, walking in the Spirit, so that we too will never have to have condemnation ever again. If we abide in the Holy Scriptures! All of them, Jn.14:15, Jn.8:47 & 51, seen in Luke too, Lk.11:28 and Mt.12:31-32 & 46-50 as seen in Jn.12:45-50 as well! This cannot be done without His Holy Spirit and His power seen in Lk.1:37, Mt.19:26; Jer.32:17-19-fs. Col.1:14-23, there is always and “IF”, 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24-29. Heb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁵And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁶For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁸For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

There is an ever acting work of salvation, and it has several aspects to it; which a person receives by faith as he repents and goes a new direction away from sin towards the glorious light of Jesus’ Truths in a New Life as a New Creature in Christ Jesus, this is true Repentance that is worthy of good works Ac.26:19-20!

We must have works (Just as Jesus worked, even on the Sabbath, we too must have works of righteousness!), that the Lord said He would reward us for, Mt.16:27 and Rev.14:13 and Rev.22:1-21! We are not saved by works but as it says in James (Jms.2:1-26) we cannot be one with the Lord Jesus and do as he has shown us to walk in His Righteousness and not have works that are perfect and thoroughly furnished unto all good works, 2 Tm.3:14-17, due to Abraham’s faith in all that the Lord told him He would do for him. Abraham was found righteous, due to his beliefs in all that the Lord had Promised him, that they would come to pass, just as we are to walk in all the scriptures in the same way for us to be found in faith in His words to us as well, Heb.11:1-fs!

The benefits of Christ’s work include forgiveness of sin, new spiritual life, and power over the devil, healing for the body, and ultimately liberation of all Righteousness and Holiness to a new Heavenly Kingdom that will come down from the Father above, the New Jerusalem, told to us in Rev.21:1-27. Other like verses include some of these as well, Is.53:5; Ro.8:1-23; Col.1:14-20; Heb.2:14as well as gifts of the Holy Spirit, 1 Cor.12:4-11; and Eph.4:1-32, keeping all thoughts under control by having dominion over your thoughts and actions by the leading of the Spirit into all truths, to those things that are eternal in nature, to keep us without spot or wrinkle, totally blameless and without blemish: Kept in God’s Grace by obedience to His everlasting words to us!

The present work of salvation has several aspects a person receives by faith as he repents, is baptized in Jesus’ name, and receives the Holy Spirit, for you know that unrighteousness will not inherit the Kingdom of God! 1Cor.6:9-11.

Justification See Ro.3:24-26, to justify means to be found guiltless, without iniquity, even to reckon someone as righteous. This involves forgiveness of sin, including the removal of all guilt and punishment, by imputation of Jesus Christ’s work at Calvary, as the debt paid in full, so the sinner now can be found righteous by imputation, see Ps.32:2 and Ro.4:8.
Regeneration or new birth, Jn.3:3-8; the person cannot be found to be blow where the Holy Spirit needs them to go without the Holy Spirit being present in them can they? Without the sealing of the Holy Spirit there is no salvation or regeneration. Ac.11:1-18, this is God’s doing not man’s see Jn.1:12-13 as well as Jn.5:39-44, seen in Ac.2:1-4. This is more than just a reformation, it is an impartation of something that is divine, to really have the very mind of Christ Jesus, one anointed and commissioned for His service, being led by Him in Spirit and in Truth, Lk.21:14-15. This too is seen in 2 Cor.5:17-21 as well.
Adoption Born-Again into the family of the King of Glory, able to have all rights just as an heir, a real son or daughter of the Most High God. This is seen in Ps.2:7; 2 Sam.7, King David is adopted by the Lord and given a covenant, that his descendants would be on the Throne of Israel forevermore, this was and is being fulfilled by Jesus Himself, who is adopted into King David’s family tree, being from the seed of a Levite, a cousin to Elizabeth, the daughter of Aaron’s seed. Mary being her cousin and near kinswoman. Only the daughters of Aaron or one who is the daughter of another High Priest could marry into the High Priesthood. This Jesus is according to the law able to hold that position as well. Both King and High Priest is His office. See Ro.8:14-17; Gal.4:1-7; and 1 Kin.3:1-28, The Lord sets up another covenant with an heir to David’s Kingdom, who was Solomon the wisest man in the Old Testament, ever to be known, till Theanthropos, was created in the seed of Mary, our God with us Mt.1:23, Immanuel came to be with mankind. Only when we abide in the words of God can we too be adopted into His Kingdom. This comes by being Sanctified in Truth, Jn.17:19.
Sanctification is a separation from all falsehoods and from all unrighteousness, only they who have been born again of a right mind can be found to have a right philosophy of life, grounded upon the Truth that is in the mind of God, 1 Cor.2:1-16 in us! This can only be found in the scriptures given to us by Godly men who were moved and carried along by the Holy Spirit of Truth Jn.1:17 & Jn.14;18 & 26 seen in Jn.15:1-3-14-20-26 & 27, through to Jn.17:1-26. All scripture is by the inspiration of God and is for us; 2 Tm.3:14-17, so we too can go into the world with a right heart and mind to serve one and all! The least who serves all will be the greatest in the Kingdom of our Lord God. Sanctification is much like the Lord’s Consecration where He puts you into another class of ministerial work, set apart just for His calling, to be His Evangelist, Prophet, or His anointed Apostle. These are they who are going to bring revelation to the church and to assure the church of God is still in full control and everything is going as planned. They are the ones who have the gifting that are needed when called upon, due to their walk with God and walking in His authority because they live with Him and know His will. God will always answer prayer when it is directed in His will and is according to His scriptures. Not to give material blessing but Spiritual ones that is eternal.

Christ’s atoning and anointing work is based on Salvation and being truly Born Again of Him and of His Holy Spirit in us, Rev.19:10. Jesus’ Salvation is for any age; salvation always originated in God’s Grace, which is His favour for following all His commandments, Deu.8:3 and Mt.4:4; Lk.4:4; Lk.11:28; Mt.12:46-50 and Jn.12:455-50 as seen in Jn.8:47 & 51 for we always are to do all things that please Him, Jn.8:29! This is only done by living every word of this bible in our own lives if we want to be found perfect in Him and Him in us, 1 Cor.15:10 should be in us! God’s Grace is found in Jn.1:16 as a reward for grace given, when we abide in Him out of love for Him and His words to us which keep us cleansed from all wrong: His words to us are what sanctify us in His Truth, Jn.17:19 and keep us with a right heart and mind, to store up the treasures given to us from Him in our heart. Jesus died for us once and for us all forevermore, but came back again to show Himself strong and all powerful, even over death, hell and the grave, to take up His body now glorified to show to one and to all that He is the Almighty God Is.9:6, who was made a way by John the Baptist in Is.40:3 with the Spirit of Elijah, Mt.11:1-15 and Mt.17:10-13 as called out in scriptures, for only He is able to see the end from the beginning, who is, who was, and is to come again, Rev.4:8 for those who have put him on Gal.3:26-27 in baptism, Ro.6:4 and Col.2:1-12. Only Jesus can take away the sins of the world; Jn.1:29; 1 Tm.2:5-6; and 1 Jn.2:1-6- fs to 1 Jn.5:17-18 & 20. His Propitiation is applied to one and to all who apply by faith in all His words to us in their own lives Co.3.17 in word or deed, be not just a hearer of His words but a doer of them as well, Ac.26:19-20, Mt.16:27 and Rev.14:13, see also in chapters 2 and 3 of the book of Revelation!

New Testament Salvation

In the context of Scripture, salvation means deliverance from all the power and effects of sin, and it has past, present, and future aspects of imputation, Ps.32:2 and Ro.4:8, but this must be studied out as it is seen in Numbers chapter 15 as well. The known sin and unknown sin as seen in Hebrews chapter 10-12:29. This is a very complicated subject that cannot be summed up in a few verses to blanket all sin by grace and faith alone! This is Lutheranism, which is condemned in scripture itself and Jesus’ word altogether; remember that all scripture must be taken into consideration before it can be true doctrine, just as I will show here in a few lines from now.

Here in the Word Aflame ministries books, they show that they believe in Martin Luther’s doctrine of “Faith and Grace alone!” but is that what the Bible shows? No! Even Jesus came preaching the Gospel, see Mt.4:17. That is what Jesus came preaching and His first lesson was this: ¹⁷From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. See what was said in Deu.4:2; 12:32; Prov.30:6; Deu.5:32-33; 17:20; 28:14; Josh.1:7; Prov.4:27; Gal.1:8-9 and Rev.22:18-19. We are not to change one word of doctrine already taught; only Jesus in the Old Testament could do that before He was crucified, when He taught us all the law was to be in our hearts and minds not written on paper but on our hearts, even seen in Mt.5:1-48 to be found perfect as He is perfect and without sin, not leaving one teaching neglected or forsaken in our own lives. This too is what Peter taught in the Day of Pentecost, Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and then ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, Ac.2:37-40: This is how it reads in the KJV; ³⁷Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

³⁸Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

³⁹For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

⁴⁰And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Our knowledge of all that was said to them, who were saved that day, are in the following epistles to the Saints of God, that were all written for them and them alone! So that all the new disciples of Jesus Christ had knowledge of all that is required of them to live a Holy and Righteous lifestyle, being children called of God. All children who are disciples of Jesus Christ will follow His way, His truths, and even His own lifestyle, as seen in the Holy Words of God to us, Jn.14:6; Jn.14:15; Jn.15:20 and all the Holy Words of God written and said by His anointed Apostles, who He used for our examples too, see 1 Cor.11:1 and Ro.12:1-21, even 1 Cor.13:1-13 on the Love of God, that is the Highest Excellence of God’s own works in us! This was all talked about in the Beatitudes of Jesus Christ, Mt.5:1-48 to Mt.16:24-28 to Rev.22:21, all these scriptures are for us today as well. We cannot add to them or take away from them or it is we who have left that narrow way, called the Narrow Way of God’s Truths and Eternal Life with Him in His Glory. We either take all that He has given us and put it to practical use in our own lives and live in Faith believing this is what He wants for us to do, so we can be found in His grace to us; or we fail just that simple! We cannot leave this truth called the Holy Sacred Words of God called the Holy Bible; if we do we are still most miserably lost! You cannot drink of the cup of this world and the cup from off the Lord’s Table! This is what the doctrines of others would have you to believe when they say you are saved by Faith and Grace alone! They used these verses to back up their claim, Eph.2:8-9, let us take a look at those right now; Eph.2:⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast. But here is what they left out: ¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹¹Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

¹²That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

This definitely shows that there are many other words we are to adhere to if we are to be obedient servants of God! Remember we cannot leave one word undone in all scriptures given to us for our salvation see 2 Tm.3: ¹⁴But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

This word was written to Timothy by Apostle Paul before the canon as we know it existed and all that they had at this time was the collection of scriptures called the Septuagint or the Old Testament because the Synoptic Gospels were still part of the Old Testament until the death of the New Testament Testator (Jesus Christ) was dead, so that His Testament could be transferred to the rightful heirs of the New Testament seen in the Book of Acts. That is when the New Testament really starts with the promised given to them who inherited the New Testament from the Testator, who was translated to glory, to fill all Heaven! This too (The pouring out of the Holy Spirit), was foreseen in Joel’s prophecies in chapter 2 and verse 28, which was preached by Peter in Ac.2:16-21. The New Testament Church was birthed on that day when the New Testament Church came to be, when about 3000 souls were baptized in Jesus’ name! With many more words that Peter and the others Apostles did exhort, to them that heard them agreed to the terms of the scriptures and the New Testament given to them that day, for them to follow or there would never have been Repentance would there? They had to agree to go a new direction, away from the Old Testament Laws of sacrifice for atonement. They had to understand that Jesus was their once and forevermore Holy Sacrifice that is the Holy Lamb of God and God Himself (Is.9:6-7, their Immanuel, Mt.1:23; Ex.3:14, see in Jn.14:6, that I Am!), or they were not saved at all, Jn.8:24; 1 Jn.5:20! They had to know Jesus as the One True God and man 1 Tm.3:16, in their One God mentality called Monotheism. Or they were not saved at all! Who went back to Glory, Is.42:8 and Is.48:11-12, seen in 2 Cor.4:6; Lk.17:18 and Jn.11:25-26 & 40, seen in 1 Cor.2:8 as well, the glory of God only seen in Jesus Christ, He alone is now back as the Father sitting in Glory, 1 Tm.6:13-16, sitting in the Shechinah Glory!

So you see, there can never be one catch all phrase that we all can be saved by; our salvation is an eternal embrace, to live unto the end in His words to us, is to be in His Kingdom; for those who endure to the end will be saved. When will the end for a Saint of God be? Our souls are Eternal in our nature as God who made us in His likeness is Eternal. So we who endure to the end of the age of Grace will be those who are saved. Only if we abide in His every word to us leaving nothing undone, this too cannot be done without His Holy Spirit in us, Jn.1:12-13, that is of His doing not ours! But it is we who have to prepare this vessel for Him to dwell in 2 Tm.2:¹⁵Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

¹⁶But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

¹⁷And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

¹⁸Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

¹⁹Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal; The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

²¹If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

You see only they who have a heart that is pure will see God, Mt.5:8, those who have become perfect as he is perfect, Mt.5:48, will be in His Kingdom, 2 Cor.6:14-18, that have left this ungodly world of wickedness, to rest in the words of our Lord to keep His inherited promises alive in us who keep His every word in perfect or complete obedience! They are the real Saints (Holy Ones, Hagios, Strong’s # 40), of God! See Ac.26:19-20, we are to do something first and then God will answer our request if we put Him first in our lives, with a pure heart and motive, to serve Him as He sends us forward, Jn.3:3-8 not how we think He should, but How He matures us into that Holy Thing He needs us to be, for Him, Lk.17:7-10, for that is all that is required of us and our only duty to Him as well! We are only saved and Sanctified in Him as long as we are in His Truths to us! Otherwise we only deceive ourselves, and worship a god we have made up in our own mind, 1Jn.5:21!

Many translate Eph.2:8, with it saying God’s gift of His grace is free to us, well the word eleutheroó (Strong’s # 1659) is the word for free, it is never found in Eph.2:8-9 & 10 either. They say to believe in Jesus’ sacrifice is enough but believing is not enough, for even the demons believe in One God and tremble and are not saved, Jms.2:19, how many today tremble at the words of God? Without the fear of God there cannot be any wisdom, Prov.9: ⁹Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

¹¹For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

We see in the other verses of the Word Aflame Publishers, that would have us to believe or understand, all that is required for Salvation is seen in a very few verses, that is what other Trinitarian churches use as well (The Baptist), such as these in Romans; “For by Grace are ye saved through Faith” (Lutheran Doctrine), see Ro.3:24-28 & 4:22-25. In those verses does it say anywhere it is as free gift of Grace? Just as Jesus worked we too must work, will we not be known by our fruits, which is our works, which we will be rewarded for or condemned for! Gal.6:1-7, you will reap what you sow! See Rev.14:13 and chapter 22:1-21 of Revelation! Rev.22:⁷Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

⁸And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

⁹Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

¹⁰And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

¹¹He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

¹²And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

¹³I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Does Martin Luther’s Doctrine line up with using one little piece of doctrine for justification by faith are ye saved? No! “If” Ye keep His (Jesus’) commandments, Jn.14:15, then are you saved by faith. Did Paul ever violate that commandment in his teacher’s teachings? Never! If one will use all the scripture used in that book, unto the end of it, to glean the context of all the Bible, of the overall massages, there would be no errors! Otherwise it is Eisegesis! Making doctrines by reading into the doctrines you want to establish by picking scriptures that will say what you want them to say without understanding the full intent of the scripture used in that contextual agreement! Or in this case disagreement! It must agree with all scripture past and present, as Jesus called for us to believe, or we have like so many before us miss translated Paul to their own destruction, 2 Pt.3:16! Paul’s teachings never contradicted James or anyone else’s! That is why Martin Luther wanted to have James and other books of the synoptic Gospels removed from the Canonical Works! They did not fit with his theologies! So why are so many listening to them today? Because it is easier than understanding the real Word of God by His designs and revelations with good study habits and translation skills! No one wants to take the time to read the original languages and understand them thoroughly, like the Bible says in 1 Tm.2:15! It is so much easier to listen to someone spoon feed them cruel, mush, rather than feed them those strong meats they would have to chew through!

Saving Faith: Now let us get to some of Jesus’ meats, strong food for full grown adults, mature Christians! Faith cannot be faith unless we believe unto obedience to every word written in this Holy Bible, but here is the hard part, when our lives match up with every scripture! Then and only then can we be a victorious Saint of God! Holy and Righteous as well as True, following Jesus in Truth, Sanctified and then Consecrated for God’s own uses! This cannot be done until we know for ourselves what the Bible really says, that is our instruction book to the Promised Land! We had better use it wisely! Keeping unto that narrow way to His Strait gate called Jesus, Jn.14:6, Jesus’ Way, His Truths, and His Life, we must also live in servant hood just as He did for others! Remember, the least will be the greatest in the Kingdom of God, and the last will be first, just as the first will be last, but all the house of Jesus Christ will be judged first, 1 Pt.4:17-19 and if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear, or where will they go? The Bible says nothing about purgatory, but it speaks volumes about Hell! The Eternal Fires of God’s region called hell speaks volumes if one will only read the original text with the facts of the way the words were meant to be translated at the time when they were written to us, with its Etymological Values intact! Not as this watered down version others today try to preach and hold over everyone’s heads! Se Phil2:¹²Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling!

Once we have received the Holy Spirit we are to be taught of God, Jer.31:31-34; is.54:13; Heb.8:8-13; 10:16-17, and seen in chapter 37 of Ezekiel 37:1-28. Then will chapter 39 come to pass! Which is any day now, Mt.24:14 and then will the end of this age come to pass! Who in the world doesn’t know about Christmas and what it means? So for that very fact, His coming will be a thief in the night, which will leave so many who are called by His name totally flabbergasted when they are left behind, Mt.7:15-23, and hear His words to them “Depart from Me, for I know you not!”, Lk.6:46. Depart from Me you workers of iniquity, Lk.13:27! Depart from Me I know not from wince you come, Mt.25:1-13. Faith is more than mental assessment and assent; intellect, acceptance or verbal profession; it includes and involves trust and reliance, commitment, appropriation, and application of the Words of God being applied to every aspect of our lives, from now on. This is Repentance that is worthy of all perfect and thoroughly furnished good works 2 Tm.3:16-17 according to all scripture, verses 14-15! Faith and Righteousness goes hand in hand with Godliness seen in His Holiness, which is never seen without Faith! Faith cannot exist without Obedience to Every Word of God! When people really abide in His every word to them, they will receive power from on High, with multiple gifts as they mature in Faith! More and more of their prayers will be answered when they know the will of God, and His will for mankind. God will not reward sinful actions of men; He will chastise them, Heb.12:1-29, if they are His or He will turn them over to their own lusts of the flesh and even give them strong delusions when they turn their backs on His words to them, 2 Thes.2:⁵Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

⁶And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

⁷For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

⁸And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

⁹Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

¹⁰And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹²That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Faith will always seek the Holy Spirit, which is the Word of God to us, Jn.6:63 & 68, which will bring with it Eternal Life! When Obeyed in truth in everything we say and do, Col.3:17.

Here are some other scriptures on Faith; Ac.6:7; Ro.1:5; 2:6-11; 12:1-21; 16:26; Heb.11:1-39, the Faith chapter, just as James is a Faith chapter as well; 2:1-26. Without Work that are perfect and good, 2 Tm.3:14-17, there can be no faith at work, without works. Faith produces fruits bearing good fruits and seed for future generations. Mt.13:

The Parable of the Sower

(Mark 4:1-9; Luke 8:4-15)

1The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

How can we hear without the Lord giving us His ears to hear with, or to know Him without His mind being one with ours? Without His Holy Spirit to lead us into all truths there is no salvation or faith that is required for us to do His works or have His favour, gifts, and loving Kindness, without obedience to Him and what He has told us to do! Salvation is required to bring with it fruits, we are to test the spirits as called out in scriptures 1 Jn.4: 1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. See Ac.17:10-11 and search the scriptures daily and see if everyone is walking in truth or not, for you shall know them by their fruits, they who cater to the lusts of the flesh, have not learned how to overcome, 1 Jn.2:15-17, the lusts of the world. See Ro.8:13; Gal.5:17, and 2 Tm.3:1-9! From Old Testament to the New the real word of God changes not, Mal.3:6 & 16-18, to them who are called of God who do His work in them and through them consecrated for that purpose!

Obedience to God cannot be stressed enough; our eternal lives with God demands it from us as well. It is absolutely necessary for Salvation to exist in Truth; Mt.7:21-27; Jn.14:15 & 23-24; as seen in Jn.3:24 for the Spirit is the Word without measure, Jn.6:63 & 68, seen in Jn.8:47 & 51, only they who are of the Lord will hear His Words to them! Who are doers of the word not just hears of them. Ro.6:17-23; 15:18; 2 Thes.1:7-12; Heb.5:9; 1 Pt.1:13-23; 4:17-19; 1 Jn.2:1-6; 5:1-18, for any unrighteousness is a sin to us, 1 Jn.2:1-28. Faith is a living thing, it can only live in truth and in action by being used in truthful living, which is also called conversation 1 Pt.1:15, which is all manner of ἀναστροφῇ Strong’s # 391, behavior (6), conduct (4), manner of life (2), way of life (1), used in the Bible 13 times; Gal.1:13; Eph.4:22; 1 Tm.4:12; Heb.13:7; Jms.3:13; 1 Pt.1:15; 1 Pt.1:18; 1 Pt.2:12; 1 Pt.3:1-2 & 16; 2 Pt.2:7 & 2 Pt.3:11. We are to have Holy Conduct in all manners of everyday living for faith to be found true and sanctified of the Lord’s doing!

By Faith in action can we tap into the covenants of God’s Grace and receive His flowing Spirit that will nourish us so we too can grow into full grown, mature, and blessed children of the Most High God! And then on the other hand: It is possible to have an initial degree of faith in Christ and still not be saved, if there is not a complete acceptance, commitment, and obedience to His every word to us, there is no victorious living then is there? All true Children of God will be abundantly victorious, in all aspects of Holiness and Righteousness or they are not really of God at all! They are only deceiving themselves, 1 Jn.5:21!

Faith is the means of appropriating God’s grace. It is the means by which people yield to God, obey His word, and allow Him to perform His saving work in their lives: Saving Faith is then; acceptance of the gospel of Jesus Christ as the sole means of salvation and obedience to that gospel (Instructions of the Scriptures all of them in all applications of our lives.).

The Gospel and New Birth:

Most churches would have you believe that the Gospel is this; The Death, the Burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But Jesus came preaching the gospel before at that even happened to Him, see Mt.4:17, the Gospel is the good news that the Kingdom of God is with man! See Lk.17:20-21, if one is born again of Jesus’ doing, Jn.1:12-13! See Ac.2:1-4, now all that is of God’s doing, when we keep His instructions or commandments from Him, Jn.14:15 and walk in His name as he did, Jn.14:6 and then we can come to the Father in Him, 14:7-18-26 in us! Our being Born Again is not through rituals or traditions but by Obedience to His words to us in faith and love of God for His salvation given to us in forgiveness of our sins! When we repent and go a new direction towards God and no longer away from Him, but we are headed for His kingdom with a pure heart, the heart of a faithful servant in love with their Master, Lk.17:7-10, that is required of us, Lk.9:62, never looking back, always keeping our eyes on Jesus! Here are some scriptures to study; Ac.2:1-4 & 37-40; Ro.6:1-14, review the doctrines of sin, for the wages of sin is death! Ro.6:15-23. See Ro.7:1-25; and 8:1- to chapter 16 and through to verse 27.

Jesus said, “Except a man be Born Again of the water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God”, Jn.3:3-8. When someone believes on and in Jesus Christ and obeys His commandments and obeys His plan of salvation Lk.24:47 seen and carried out in Ac.2:1-4 & 37-40, they are born of the water in Jesus’ name that brings salvation, Ac.4:12 and Jn.14:14 will bring truth of revelation of His eternal words to our own lives, by faith believing in all that He has told us to do; Repent (go a New Direction for a new beginning), 2 Cor.5:17-21 in righteousness of obedience to His ordinances, Is.28:9-12 so we can find His rest for us, in His Kingdom to come, to those who obey Him Jn.14:15. And the words of His anointed Apostles, Jn.15:20. Otherwise there is no real salvation, no victory over the flesh that wars against the Holy Spirit, Gal.5:17. To be actually a new creature we have to leave that sinful life behind us, 1 Jn.2:15-17 and walk in the Spirit Ro.8:1-9 and put to death the flesh and put it under subjection, Ro.8:13. God will not be mocked Gal.6:1-7, for He is no respecter of persons! See 1 Jn.5:17-18, a child of God keeps themselves from all sin. At repentance we are then baptized and put to death the old man in a watery grave, 1 Pt.3:21: and raised with a clear clean conscience towards God, because we have done what he told us to do, if we want to be one with Him, and he with us the vessel must be purified, 2 Tm.2:19-22, with a pure heart so His Holy Spirit can come and reside in us to teach us a new way of life in His Likeness, Jn.6:44-47 & 63 through 68! His word cannot be broken Jn.10:35; Mt.24:235 and Is.55:1-13, Is.40:8 for it is truth and it stands forever! Not until someone believes in Ac.2:1-4 &37-42, can it be said they have been born again of a new creature seen in also in 2 Cor.5:17-21 & Jn.3:3-8 and ready to be blown by the Spirit wherever it listeth them to go.

On the Day of Pentecost, the birthday of the New Testament Church of the living God in Jesus Christ, Ac.20:28 who purchased the church with the very blood of God; He gathered that day about 3000 souls. We see in History this was about the same number that was lost when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the ten commandments of God on two tablets of stone that God had cut out with His finger Ex.31:18; Ex.32:1-28, the same number that received the Lord by the commandments of the Apostles that day, when the church of God was birthed!

Speaking in tongues was the gift of the Lord, just as in the days of Babel when He took and separated every man’s tongue, this day the Lord brought in the interpreter so every man woman and child could speak in another tongue as the Spirit gave them the utterance; this was God’s doing it, Jn.1:12-13, see in Ac.11:1-18 as determined in the council at Jerusalem, when Peter had baptized a Roman Soldier named Cornelius and his household with him. Ac.10:1-48 tells the story of the first uncircumcised Gentile entering into the church of the living God in History without circumcision. When they heard them all speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them the utterance, what was Peter to do? So he believed that the Lord gave them the gift just as He had done to them in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost. Who was Peter to stand against God’s doings? Peter baptized them in Jesus’ name, as all that were done before, according to the Lord’s commandment, Lk.24:47. The Lord does the calling and the Lord does the equipping, for those He brings into service. Not man; all man can do is preach the word of truth and let God work and He alone will provide the increase.

The New Testament and the New Testament Church didn’t come into being until or after Christ’s ascensions (Jn.16:28). The Old Testament people were saved under the old covenant of John the Baptist’s, Lk.7:28 & 24:47-49; Jn.7:39; 16:7-fs; Ac.1:4-8; Heb.9:14-17. With all this said, Acts is the New Testament documents of doctrine set forth by the Apostles of Jesus Christ, which brought in Salvation into the New Covenant Church of Jesus Christ, in the New Testament epoch in the “Age of Grace”. This too is seen in Jms.2:1-26 but mainly this one verse: For the temporary time being God will show mercy before judgment: ¹³For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. But woe unto them who are not in the New Covenant of His Grace when He comes: For it would have been better if they had not been born! Thus, if any ask what they must do to be saved; Ac.2:38-41 is the only answer we too can give them, that is the proper response to that question asked.

Not only did the Jews on the Day of Pentecost receive Ac.2:38-41 experience, but so did the Samaritans, the Apostle Paul, and the Gentiles at Cornelius’ house with his family and friends. The Disciples of John the Baptist also in Ephesus, Ac.19:1-7. Which prophesied, see Rev.19:10 for the Spirit of Christ Jesus is the Spirit of all Prophecy: For only God knows the end from the beginning, and is the Spirit of Grace & Truth. Here are the related verses: Ac.2:1-4; 37-41; 8:12-17; 9:17-18 with 22:16; 10:44-48; Ac.11:1-18 and then Ac.19:1-7. So in this we set forth doctrine of the teaching of salvation with these instructions; Repent, turn away from sin and a sinful lifestyle, ask for forgiveness of all past sins, Ro.3:25 and go and sin no more, Jn.8:11 and Jn.5:14 calling upon the name of the Lord and He will give you a right mind, be baptized in water calling upon the name of the Lord Jn.14:14 and Lk.24:47 as required of us in the scriptures Ac.4:12 and 38-41, see in Jn.15:20 as well, with a pure heart; and ye shall receive the Holy Spirit, after the Lord looks into your heart and sees it is pure with a servants heart, Lk.17:7-10, to serve the Lord and walk in His Light, Jn.14:6 as He has shown us to go as He walked with us, Mt.1:23 in person. Walking in all the scriptures, which are seen in 2 Tm.3:14-17 that work for us unto Salvation, if we endure to the end, Mt.24:13!

Full Repentance: Repentance is a turn from a life of sin to God. To live a life of Righteousness and Holiness, without which none shall enter into His Kingdom, Mt.5:17-20 & Heb.12:14. Godliness is a required lifestyle of a Saint of God or His name will be blasphemed by others who observe our actions if we are anything less than Holy and Pure of heart, Eph.5:26-27, 1 Pt.1:1-16, seen also in Lev.11:44-45 and in 1 Jn.5:17-18, we are to go and sin not but walk as He walked with us on earth, 1 Jn.2:1-6, so we too can be as he is when He comes for those called in His name, Gal.3:26-27 and have put Him on in and at Baptism, calling upon His Holy Sacred Name, Jn.14:14, believing in faith for it is impossible to please Him without faith, Heb.11:6; Mt.21:21-22.

Repentance according to the Pentecostals has three aspect to it; 1. An intellectual change (a Change for service and a willingness to help others before themselves): 2. an emotional change (A change of feelings, an over abundance of Joy unspeakable): 3. And a Volitional change (A change in ones Purpose!). It includes recognition of sin, Mk.2:17 & Mt.4:17, as seen in Jms.4:¹⁷Therefore to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin! Any unrighteousness is a sin, 1 Jn.5:17-18 and a child of God keeps them self from all sin. See 1 Cor.15:33-34 as well. So we confess our sins to God Prov.28:13 so our prayers will not be hindered, (see Prov.15:8, 21:27 & 28:9), Here are a few more scriptures that show the idea of repentance, 1 Jn.1:9; Ro.3:24-31; Ps.51:1-19; 2 Cor.7:10; be in RIGHTEOUSNESS before you give an offering of praise, worship, and or prayer! True Repentance is willingness and a conscious effort to depart from all sinful lusts of the flesh 1 Jn.2:15-17 and live a sanctified life consecrated to God and His word to us! That is it, or we have not repented at all! With repentance is willingness to make restitution for all past sins if possible, Mt.5:21-26; Lk.19:8-10. For God is come to save a repented heart who has lost their way, he is willing that none should be lost, 2 Pt.3:9.

Repentance is the first response of faith to the call of God, Jn.6:44-47; Mt.4:17 and Mk.1:17; those who hear the words of God will respond to His calling, with a repented heart of sorrow, which is broken and a contrite heart that He will exalt and heal and lift up a sorrowful heart; a heart that only He can cleanse with His word Jn.15:3. Repentance is absolutely required Lk.13:3 & 5; Ac.17:30 as well as Ac.26:19-20; 2 Pt.3:9: Without repentance baptism is not effective; and without repentance a person cannot receive the Holy Spirit, Ac.2:38-41 & 3:19. Simply put, there is no salvation without Godly repentance and a change of heart first.

At first in repentance the person will let God come into their lives and let Him start making some changes in their nature and characteristics. They will allow God to remove the lusts of the flesh that seeks pleasures that are harmful even to itself such as gluttony for example, because our bodies are not our own anymore; they have been purchased by the very blood of God. We are all bought and paid for by Jesus Christ who purchased us at Calvary, with His own blood, Ac.20:28; Jn.20:28. As a part of turning away from sin God allows us to break away from sinful habits and desires. As a part of repentance when we turn towards the Lord and away from sin and the world of wickedness, when we start wanting more of the Lord and His ways. The closer we move toward the Lord the closer He moves towards us, Jms.4:1-10. As the repented person draws closer to God He will draw closer to them and bring with Him His Holy Spirit, His wisdom, His compassion, His mercy, His goodness, and His Imputation of Righteousness. Then the guilt will begin to roll off the sorrowful heart, preparing the way for baptism; to put to death the old man and the old sinful lifestyles of the world around us. After Baptism and death to the old self and sin natures we used to have, we can move on into living for God with a heart and mind that has come up out of the watery grave in newness of life, to be a new Creature, ready to be born again by the Holy Spirit, Lk.11:13; Jn.3:3-8 and Ac.2:38-39, for those who ask for it. Without the Holy Spirit in us there is no real conversion to a right mind, 1 Cor.2:1-16 without his Holy Spirit in us to teach us all truths, Jn.14:26 and Jn.15:26, talked about in Jn.16:1-15, remember Jn.10:30 here as well. The Father is the Holy Spirit Lk.1:35 and all powerful, Lk.1:37, who can do all things even in us, to regenerate us Tit.3:1-8, into His likeness. So when they see our good works they will glorify the Lord, this way the Sons of God bring glory to the Father, who gave them a new birth and a new life as a new creature; made in His image.

Water Baptism:

Water baptism is part of salvation, just as Jesus gave for us an example so all righteousness can be fulfilled in us as well, Mt.3:13-17; 1 Pt.3:21. Our obedience to this water baptism expresses faith in the process of cleansing us from the past life of sin; with a good conscience towards God. By coming up out of the watery grave, we too in likeness of Christ are risen in symbolic form, into a new life, a resurrected life in Christ Jesus! Baptized in His name and we have been raised with Him and put Him on Gal.3:26-27, to begin a new life with Him, with power over the lusts of the flesh and the power over sin. To go and sin no more as called out in Scripture, to be perfect, as he is perfect, Mt.5:8 & 48 with a pure heart and a right mind! Without the mind of the Lord in us we cannot have a right mind, or a right philosophy, without a right psychology, 2 Tm.1:7; Jn.14:27; 8:12-17; 1 Jn.4:15-21! Without the love for all mankind we will have enemies but in God we will have none to fear (Mt.10:28) and not one enemy but Satan and sin 1 Jn.5:17-18! Water baptism is a rite of passage that is commanded of God and in obedience to that command we have faith in His words that are for a promise of greater things to come. By obedience to these commands to us we show our faith by believing His words by our own actions and verifying our Faith, Mk.16:15-20; Ac.2:41; Jn.14:15 & 15:20. The spiritual mode of baptism is immersion in water (See Baptizo, Strong’s # 907), to submerge, but specifically of ceremonial dipping; by the authority of the word of God, I baptize you name placed here; for the remission of your sins, in the only name by which all Salvation comes Jn.14:14 & Lk.24:47, in the glorious name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of your sins.

This method of baptism is immersion in water, and it is the only method that retains the biblical symbolism of baptism as a burial, Mt.3:16; Ac.8:36-39; Ro.6:3-4; Col.2:12; Gal.3:26-27; Ro.10:12-13; Faith in Christ and repentance from sin are necessary to its validity; thus for this reason infant baptism is not valid or proper, due to the mind of the infant is unable to realize the need for baptism, when it cannot understand the principles of sin and disobedience. This is the reason the children are the greatest in the Kingdom of God because of their innocence and pureness of heart Mt.5:8.

The Biblical significance of water baptism is as it is seen here;

God remits sins at water baptism (Ac.2:38; 22:16). God cancels out all past sins Ro.3:25; and all penalties that justice demands for sins. He washes away sins and buries them in that watery grave, and remembers them no more:
Baptism is part of the New Birth, Jn.3:3-8; Tit.3:1-8;
Baptism identifies that person as a child of God and co heir with Jesus in all that the Father has for the sons of God. This baptism also identified the believer with the burial of Jesus, Ro.6:3-4; Col.2:12; it indicates the person baptized has died to sin by repentance and is burying his past sins; the dominion of sin is past as well as the sinful lifestyles of the past.
This is the water part of the One baptism seen in (Eph.4:1-16), that places the believer into Christ, Ro.6:3-4; Gal.3:26-27; Eph.4:4-5; it identifies them personally with Jesus and is part of the entrance into His Kingdom, Lk.17:20-21.
Baptism is part of spiritual circumcision, Col.2:11-13.

The Bible teaches us that baptism must be done in Jesus’ name only, Ac.4:12, Lk.24:47 and Ac.2:37-41 that is seen in Jn.14:14 and 14:15 as well as Jn.15:20. This means invoking the name of Jesus orally, Ac.22:16; Jms.2:7, and re-baptizing those who have been baptized some other way, Ac.19:1-5. There is only one correct way to baptize anyone and it MUST be in the name of Jesus Christ, Ac.4:12, according to the scriptures. Baptism in Jesus’ name expresses His authority for we know Him for who He is, as our God with us, Immanuel, Mt.1:23; Rev.4:8; Jn.8:24, 58, 47, & 51 and 29 (see verses 31, 32, and 36 as well)! By baptism in Jesus’ name we identify with His true identity, His work of atonement, and His saving power and authority. The name of Jesus is the only saving name given to us in the scriptures; Jesus is the only name by which we receive remission of sins because it is the Highest name given, Ps.138:2 that gives the words of God their authority and power, Jn.5:39-44 that is of God and is His name, Jn.17:1-3. Because Jesus is Lord of all Ac.10:26 and is both LORD and the Christ, Ac.2:36; Ac.4:12; 10:43; Phil.2:9-12; Col.3:17; Jn.14:14. Calling upon the name of Jesus is the only way to ask of God for anything, and if we want His forgiveness of our sins, we had better use the name of the only Holy man that ever existed who died for us and our sins! There is only one name who did all this and who is God and a Deity as well as a Divine Man, the man Christ Jesus! Therefore it is the only name that will ever bring Salvation to all mankind because it is by Him we even exist, Col.1:16-17. It is by Him that all remission of sin can come and be imputed, Ps.32:2 and Ro.4:8. Blessed are they whose sins have not been imputed against them. Only Jesus’ name fulfills all the purposes of Baptism!

We see in the scriptures that the Bible gives us at least five biblical accounts of baptism in the New Testament Church; These all show using the name of Jesus or calling out the name of the Lord, Ac.22:16, see Ac.2:38-41; 8:16-17, Ac.10:44-48, Ac.19:1-7, all of these scriptures given to us for our only Biblical examples! All of this is to prepare the vessel to be His Holy Temples, 1 Cor.3:16-17; 6:19-20 and 2 Cor.6:14-18, so He can be our One and only True God 1 Jn.5:20, whose name is Jesus! The Epistles written to the saints of God are all alluding to this Jesus name baptism as well; Ro.6:3-4; 1 Cor.1:13-31; 6:11-20; Gal.3:26-27; Col.2:1-12-fs. This is seen in Mt.28:19 as well asking for us to use the name, singular of the titles used here in this verse, what is that name? Jesus told us in Jn.5:39-44 and Jn.17:1-3, that he declared the only name of God, which is Jesus, the Redeemer, Saviour the Mighty One of Jacob, Is.49:26; Is.9:6 Our Wonderful, Councilor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace, seen in 1 Tm.3:16 7 6:13-16 as well. He who resides in the Shekinah Glory which no man can approach or even look at! For further review see and study these scriptures as well; Zech.14:9; Mt.1:21 & 23; Jn.5:39-44; 14:7-26-fs; Rev.22:1-4 & 16, He is the Morning Star, the Day Spring, The Holy Font (fountain) that comes from under the Throne of Glory and fills the universe! Moreover, Jesus is the name described in the other Great Commission accounts, Mt.28:19-10; Mk.16:15-20; Lk.24:47; Dan.9:24-27 and Isaiah chapter 53 to chapter 66 and these final verses:

God’s Final Judgments against the Wicked

15For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

17They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

18For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 19And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.20And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. 21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.

22For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

23And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

24And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die; neither shall their fire be quenched and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

All of these scriptures can only point to One God in Christ Jesus reconciling the whole world unto Himself by Himself and for Himself, 2 Cor.5:19-21. We either agree to all His commandments for us in His New Testament, confirmed to us by His anointed Apostles, or we will find ourselves with all those who listen to other voices seen in verse 24 of Isaiah chapter 66.

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit:

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, sometimes called the Holy Ghost, is the baptism of God’s own essence in us, Jn.4:24 because God is that Spirit which has called us to be Holy as he is Holy Lev.11:44-45 and 1 Pt.1:13-16, this too is seen in Rev.4:8, without knowing who Jesus is as the Holy Spirt, manifested in the flesh, 1 Tm.3:16 & 6:13-16, we have no salvation without this Truth. For only they who God has revealed Himself to are His children, Mt.11:27, Lk.10:22; Jn.3:34-35; 13:3; 1 Cor.15:27-28; Jn.1:14, 18; and 6:44-47 & 63 and 68! Only Jesus has the Eternal Words of Life, Jn.11:25-26 & 40! He alone is the glory that can be given to no other, Is.42:8 and Is.48:11-12, see 2 Cor.4:6; Lk.17:18; Jn.11:40; and 1 Cor.2:8! There can be no glory outside of Jesus Christ, for He alone resides in that glory 1 Tm.6:13-16 that none can even look at. Our Salvation and Redemption rests on Jesus alone and His Spiritual rebirth in us, Ro.8:9 or we are none of His yet still! If we are in the flesh we cannot please the Lord of all Glory!

We are sealed for adoption by His spirit in us, Eph.1:1-(13-14)-23; 4:30: For the infilling of the Holy Spirit is seen and talked about in these verses, Ac.1:4-5; 2:1-4; 10:44-48; 11:1-18; 19:1-7; it is a promise that was prophesied by Joel in chapter 2 and verse 28, that Peter Quoted from on the Day of Pentecost, Ac.2:16-21, Baptism of the Holy Spirit is sometimes stated with some of these terms; The were filled, in, with, by, or immersed in, and filled with God’s Spirit. Sometimes these terms apply to these terms as well; baptized, filled, received, fell on, came upon, and poured out the gift upon or on, all these terms describe the baptism of God’s own Repentance upon us as He imputes us as His Righteousness and Holiness, Ac.11:1-18 in that, it is of God’s doing, Jn.1:12-13 and not of man’s. It is a supernatural act of God. Without the baptism of His Spirit in us there is no regeneration, Tit.3:1-18 or good works, fruits or deeds, Col.3:17; or rewards, Rev.14:13, 22:1-21. Without the baptism of His Spirit in us we cannot be a Saint of God, a Theos tois hagiois, mono-haiois a Holy One of God’s own children, pistois en Christo Iesou (faithful in Christ Jesus). All of these terms are revealed when someone starts speaking in other known languages that were not before known to them by His Supernatural Spirit giving us the utterances of other known and natural languages, that are used today around the world. There are other languages too; a multiplicity or duplicity of tongues of many countries and dialects. This gift of tongues is intended for everyone to have, Lk.11:13; Ac.2:1-4 and Ac.2:38-30 as told to us in Mk.16:17 as well (see Ac.2:1-11).

We have shown many accounts of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in other tongues as this unique sign given to us for that purpose, to give an outwardly sign of an inwardly regeneration! Unspeakable joy is not enough as seen in Samaria, they were baptized in Jesus’ name and had unspeakable joy but did not speak in other tongues, until Peter and John came down from Jerusalem and laid their hands on them, Ac.8:5-19, this was such a site that even Simon the magician wanted to buy this gift, this is called Simony today. To buy ones place into an official bishopric or pastoral position. Even Paul mentions having had this experience in 1 Cor.14:18.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the normal, basic New Testament experience with God, the birth of the Spirit and Regeneration, capable of doing all things through us and even in us. The Spirit of God is our Rest, Is.28:9-12; our guide to all Truths, Jn.1:17 seen in 1 Cor.2:1-16 for us to be taught of God and to have His mind because it is Him who is teaching us, Jer.31:31-34, Is.54:13; Heb.8:8-13 and 10:16-17 that is called out in chapter 37-38 of Ezekiel and Jn.6:44-47, that is seen in Jn.5:39-44 and Jn.6:63 & 68, giving us the eternal words of eternal life with Him, Mt.24:35, Is.40:8 and Is.55:1-13, His words to us cannot be broken Jn.10:35! The Spirit is our Intercessor, our Councilor, is our Wonderful, our adopter, our seal of the earnest hope of salvation, is our gift and inheritance; the Holy Spirit is our Sanctification by which we are consecrated for God’s own use, Jn.3:3-8, to be blown where He needs us to go for Him (see these verses as well, Is.28:9-12; Jn.16:13; Ro.8:9 & 15-26; Eph.1:13-14 and Eph.4:4-5 as the One Baptism that is most important or there is no entrance into His Kingdom, Lk.17:20-21 in us, and 1 Pt.1:2 & 13-16, we cannot be Holy without the Holy Spirit in us.

Someone can receive the Holy Spirit as seen in Ac.10:1-48 just by having faith and repenting from sin with a pure heart. When this happens they are still demanded to be baptized in the water in Jesus” name, Ac.10:44-48, and Mk.16:15-20 seen in Lk.9:23-27; 14:25-35 and Mk.8:34-38 which is taught by Paul in 2 Tm.2:19-26 which all disciples of Jesus Christ are to do. This is the only way to receive power over the flesh and the carnal nature of sin, Ac.1:8 and to receive a witness that none shall ever be able to gainsay Lk.21:14-15, the power to be overcomers required in Revelation chapter 2 & 3, see Ro.8:1-9 to 13-fs. Etc. Jn.3:3-8 and Gal.5:16-26; see 1 Jn.2:1-6 and we too will be able to walk as Jesus walked while here on earth, in a sinless life, Gal.3:26-27, 1 Jn.5:17-18! When we walk in the Spirit we will produce fruits some 30 some 60 some even a 100 fold Mt.13:1-ffs.

Conclusion:

If we are one with God we shall never reject anyone, just because they have not had the baptism of the Holy Spirit and are not in the Truth yet. We should be as God is and always leaning towards them with mercy and loving kindness, to show the attributes of God to a lost world around us so we too can be that light at the top of that Holy Hill of God in the distance for everyone to see so they too will see the goodness in us and give the glory to God. In this way we as the true Son’s of God can give glory to the Father who resides in us, Lk.17:20-21, which is the Kingdom of God in us! We should encourage one and all to come and be mature children of God, with His own special gifts for those who are called by His name and born again in His name, who are filled with His Spirit, or they will never be one with Him and Him with them, until they are Ro.8:9 and Jn.3:3-8, as the scriptures tell us so in His own words to us; and we know He doesn’t lie, Tit.1:2, Heb.8;16, Num.23:19; 1 Sam.15:9; Mal.3:6 & Heb.13:8; Mt.24:35; Is.40:8 and Is.55:13, His word will not come back void of what it was sent out to do, Rev.19:10! His Spirit and His words is the Spirit of all prophecy! Just as Apollos was ministered to by Aquila and Priscilla and shown a better baptism than John the Baptists in Ac.18:24-28 and taught Apollo of the Holy Spirit’s Baptism in Jesus’ name, a more perfect way. This too is called out for us in Jms.5:19-20, that we too are to pick up a weaker brother and get them back on the narrow way, Mt.7:13-14 or they too will end up as those in verses 15-23 here as well! We are to instruct one and all to receive everything God has for them, 1 Cor.12:1-31 & 13:1-13 as in Ro.12:1-21, be ye found perfect Mt.5:48, Perfect and Thoroughly furnished unto all good works, 2 Tm.3:14-17, abiding in all the scriptures, Deu.4:2 & Rev.22:18-19, or be found in Is.66:24!

There are many who need to be lead further along in the truth just like the disciples of John the Baptist in Ephesus and Apollos who knew only the baptism of Repentance, even he had to be shown a better more perfect way, 1 Pt.4:8-11. If we speak at all let it be done as an oracle of God, knowing this, that every idle word we will have to give an account for Mt.12:36-37! This New Testament doctrine must be taught right or it is we who have failed the Lord! A person’s theology, teachings, and doctrines must line up with all scripture or it is not inspired of God. Without the Holy Spirit we have no way to be lead to the right scriptures in the right order and to know the intent of His heart without having His mind 1 Cor.2:1-16 and we cannot have His mind or hear from Him unless we are one with Him in Spirit and in Truth, Jn.4:23-24 and One with Him, Lk.21:14-15 so that none will be able to say anything against us and our doctrine or teachings. Let no man put any dogma or decrees upon anyone, unless it originates and is currently taught in the New Testament Epistles to us. Then we are never to add to them or take anything away from them either. If we do we will be teaching another gospel, Gal.1:8-9 and will bring a curse upon us, Deu.4:2; Rev.22:18-19, Mal.3:6 & 16-18 see Ecc.12:7-14. We are to serve Him in Spirit and in Truth or it is we who have gotten off that narrow way to His strait gate! Those who endure in the truth will be saved, Mt.24:13; 10:16-42. Let us be found as that servant who will open up to his Master at midnight when He returns from His trip, they will be the ones who are rewarded for faithful service Lk.12:35-38. All who seek not the “Apostolic Pattern” will give an account to God, Phil.2:10-12, therefore work out your own salvation by the very word of God and not man! Those who seek God’s perfect will with a pure heart in righteousness will be rewarded, Mt.6:33 and 7:7-8 as the Lord has promised to us in His words. Without Truth to the word of God there is no salvation of any kind! We all must act on Truth, Jn.4:23-24 it is required of us to grow in Grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ and all that He wants for us to know about Him, Jn.8:24 as the I Am or we are still in our sins! This is how important Truth, His Truth, is to the world and all mankind, Jn.3:16-18!

In Summary:

God demands obedience before we can ever see His favour and grace, see Jn.1:16 where it says we have all received His Grace for (or anti # 473, in place of Grace!) grace. It is a reciprocal action and a requital. Substitution and a correspondence to an action by us toward Him. Mt.6:33 and 7:7-8 let us see this point more clearly. If we obey Him in all the things He has told us to do, we too will find His favour, His mercy, and His loving kindness! Jn.14:15 & Jn.15:20 seen in and done in Col.3:17 as well as 2 Tm.3:14-17, so we too can be found perfect as He is perfect, Mt.5:48 with a regenerated heart like His, full of love for one and all, bound to walk as He walked while here among us, 1 Jn.2:1-6 so we too can be like He is when He comes for us! Jn.16:33, He promised we would have life and have it more abundantly as in forevermore with Him.

Holiness and Christian Living,

Holiness of God is what we compare all Holiness to:

Holiness in a Child of the most High God must come from that child’s daily walk with God, which comes from God showing that child how to walk as He did while He was with us, Mt.1:18, 20 & 23; facing all the same trails we do today, Lk.2:49, we too are to overcome these trials just as He did, Jn.16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

A Christian’s daily walk is an act of “Faith,” we take each scripture in the Bible and we use it as our guide and His words will keep us cleansed from all wrong, Jn.15:3, “If” we love Him and keep His commandments to us, Jn.14:15 and those of His anointed Apostles, Jn.15:20. Without the Holy Spirit in us to bring the scriptures to remembrance, Lk.21:14-15, Mt.10:20; Lk.12:11-12; 2 Sam.23:2; as seen in Ex.4:10-16, God will put His words in our mouths and have them in our hearts and minds so we can always find His narrow way, Mt.7:13-14, that many will not even be able to see or find, Mt.20:16 and 22:14 and few that there will be that will find that narrow way to His strait gate! Only by His Holy Spirit in us can we too have the power to find His narrow way and to live it. It takes a supernatural power to have a supernatural walk with God, there is no other way to His Kingdom and for His Kingdom to be found in us, Lk.17:20-21! That is the only way to have a Holy walk with God and that is according to His words to us, not man’s dogmas!

A Holy Child of God;

Is to never walk with the world or do as they do, because the world doesn’t even know it is in its own wickedness, Jms.4:1-4; 1 Jn.5:19, and anyone who goes along with them is an enemy of God! Because they are still in their own sins and have not had the rebirth experience yet, they are not Born Again of the Most High God! Neither can they know Him or have His Spirit in them Jn.14:17 Even the Spirit of truth (see Jn.1:17); whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. This Jesus said to them who had followed Him, through His trials. Those who do not know Jesus as the I Am cannot have this Spirit in them, for He reveals Himself to His own, Mt.11:27, Lk.10:22; and Jn.6:44-47 and they who the Father calls, all come to Jesus because the Father and Jesus are one in the same, Jn.10:30, and when you have seen Jesus you have seen God in the flesh, 1 Tm.3:16, Jn.12:45-50 and only those who know Him will love Him and keep all His commandments. Jn.14:15 and those of His Apostles, Jn.15:20! Only these will have His Spirit the Spirit of God without measure, if we too walk in a way that is found Holy and righteous to Him alone; and then He will add all things unto us as well because we too will know what to ask for when we pray to Him, Mt.6:33 & 7:7-8. Many today have their prayers hindered due to their own lifestyles that do not agree with the words of God! See Prov.15:8; Prov.28:9 and the worse of them all is seen in Prov.21:27 as one who has a lying heart and a willingness to try and mock God by leveraging or manipulating God to do your will in trade for a service rendered; God will never be bribed or mocked, Gal.6:1-7 and we all will reap what we sow! You will be rewarded for your own works, Mt.16:27; Rev.14:13 and Rev.22: ⁷Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

⁸And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

⁹Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

¹⁰And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

¹¹He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

¹²And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

¹³I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

¹⁴Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

¹⁵For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

¹⁶I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

¹⁹And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

There is only One Book of Eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven; and it is to those who have kept themselves Holy as He is Holy and Righteous as He is Righteous! Just that simple, live according to all the words given to us or we are not in faith at all or His grace! This is why He gave us His words to us so we in turn could know Him and have His mind and know what it is that pleases Him. So we could be the recipients of His endless loving kindness, to those who turn to Him and walk in His Light not their own! Which is according to His every word to us, not taken away and none added to, just walk before Him with a pure heart, Mt.5:8 in perfection, Mt.5:48 & Eph.5:26-27, having put on Christ Jesus in Baptism in His name, Gal.3:26-27 seen in 2 Cor.5:17-21 and Jn.3:3-8, Born Again of Him, His way Jn.1:12-13 that is of His doing, Ac.2:1-4 & 2:38-41, and live a new life in Him, Lk.17:20-21 and His Spirit in us, showing and leading us into all truths, Jn.4:23-24 that is required of a child of God to walk in, that is Holy and Righteous, in order to be found in His Godliness! Faith to God and His words is only answered by obedience to Him and His words to us! Or there is no salvation or pleasing Him, Heb.11:6.

We in our Christian walk with God, who have His Spirit in us need to be the Kings of this world and seek out the hidden treasures of God, for those who are willing to seek God Himself, Prov.25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter! Only they who are of His Holiness, will in fact keep God first in all areas of their own lives. They will constantly be asking themselves this question; “Is this what Jesus would do?” Or “Did Jesus do this, but is this the way He would have me do this?” You see Jesus is Sovereign God and is able to do all things without sinning, we are not Him! We must only obey His examples when we are acting in loving kindness, because God is Love 1 Jn.4:1-21! If we did that, we would not have any wars ever again! No man can have a war with His brother that he loves! Thus Holiness is the Love of God seen in us, as children of God are love just as He is love to us. We too will love all mankind in all nations, tribes and people. We then in return will try to show them a better way to live their lives in Christ Jesus, Ac.18:24-28 a more perfect understanding of redemption, through repentance, and baptism in Jesus’ name, Lk.24:47; Ac.2:37-41 & Ac.4:12 as told to do in scripture, not as a tradition or ritual of men! Do as the Lord commanded or be in your own sin, just that simple!

Holiness is keeping the words of God that are eternal and that cannot ever be broken. We either keep them with every part of us in heart, soul and strength of us or we will be corrupted with every whim of a doctrine! Just as Paul warned the Corinthians, who will come preaching another gospel; 2 Cor.11:¹ Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

²For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

³But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

⁵For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

⁶But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.

⁷Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

⁸I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.

⁹And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

¹⁰As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

¹¹Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth.

¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

¹⁴And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

¹⁵Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁶I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

¹⁷That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

¹⁸Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

¹⁹For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

²⁰For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

²¹I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

²²Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

²³Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

²⁴Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

²⁵Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

²⁶In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

²⁷In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁸Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

²⁹Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is offended, and I burn not?

³⁰If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

³¹The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

If we keep not all the scriptures we only lie to ourselves that we are saved, for if our own words to not match up with our lives we have falsified ourselves and made us to be known as a Hypocrite and a liar and thief to the words of our Almighty God, Ro.3:1-4 and God will be true and we found as a liar! No liars will be found behind His Heavenly Gates! Holiness and Righteousness is a mandatory requirement for a child of the Most High God! Or we are still seeking salvation and regeneration and have not really been born again have we? That is why without Repentance first turn away from sin and towards God or there is no salvation, 2 Tm.2:¹⁹Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

²¹If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²³But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

²⁴And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

²⁵In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

²⁶And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will!

Scriptures to study: 1 Thes.5:17; Jude 20-21; Mt.6:33; 7:7-8; 17:20; 21:22; Jn.14:14; Jn.15:1-3 to 14 to 20 to 26 & 27; Ro.8:1-9-13-Ro.14:1-23; 1 Cor.10:13; Phil.4:6 & 19; Prayer will be answered when we ask for the things that are not carnally consumed, 1 Jn.2:15-17 but are in the will of God! See Jms.4:1-4 on this topic too. To receive these promises from God, we must ask in faith believing we have the things we ask for already, with a repented heart that is seeking the things of God not of this world, we are to have dominion over this world already; we are to be seeking spiritual things God has for us, see Ps.66:18; Jms.1:5-8 & 16-17; 4:2-3; and 5:16; 1 Jn.3:20-27 to the end; 1 Jn.5:14-18 & 20 or you too will be found in verse 21 as well as those in the world who worship God there way and not His way!

Giving, Prayer and Fasting: Mt.6:16-18; 9:14-15; 17:21; Deu.15:7-11; Lk.11:1-4; & Mt.13:44-46; Lk.11:33-36: Don’t worry; Mt.6:25-24; Lk.12:22-34.

See Mt.6: covers giving, praying and fasting as well as many other topics that cover Holiness and Righteousness which make up Godliness in a child of God.

Have a Bible and a reading plan:

so that the whole Bible is read once a year and studied on by topics. A good Strong’s Concordance and study the language the Bible is written in to make sure any translation or transliteration is correct with the etymology of the words and the context for the way they are used in the Bible addresses for who they are talking to or what reason that the words of God have been put together in the first place. Never hunt and pick scriptures and make them fit your doctrine even when they were not intended for that topic! That is called Eisegesis no Exegesis which is the correct translation of scripture by using Hermeneutics.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics),

See these scriptures as well; Ps.119:11, 16, 105; 2 Tm.2:15; 3:14-17.

Faithfully assembling each week for studying and worshipping God:

This is not necessarily an organized governing body of believers but a simple Home Church, where coming together with friends and neighbors to worship and praise God, to give Him glory, and to read the scriptures and discuss them. To speak in tongues and to prophesy and to interpret and hold church without disruption or confusion but orderly as required in the Bible. That is the way to come and have church and to come together when there is a need that the community of believers must take care of when another is poor and destitute; all of us must come to their rescue and help them to be all they can be in the Lord, for that is what we are all called to do. No man lording over another, all sharing in unity of brotherly love to one and to another without respecting persons! The least of us will be the servant of all and the greatest in the Kingdom of God! So let us all be found serving one another respectfully! See these scriptures; Ac.2:42, Ro.14: and Col.2:1-fs. We are not bound to any Holidays, but to one day that the Lord called for Himself, for He is the Lord of the Sabbath day because God changes not Mal.3:6! And as He worked on that day so should we who are made in His image, we too should be out doing what He did as seen in Jn.14:6, each Sabbath day that we have left is to be dedicated for His use not ours!

Giving Tithes and offerings:

See these scriptures; Mal.3:8-12; Mt.6:1-4; Lk.6:38; 16:10-13; Ac.20:35; 1 Cor.9:1-14; 2 Cor.9:6-9: This is the plan of God for us who have to visit and give to them that cannot obtain, the widow and the orphaned, Jms.1:1-27, if one is to have a perfect religion. Not a hearer of the word of God but a doer of it all! God has always had a plan for making sure none are without it is up to us to keep it active in our own lives and teach it to our children too so His ways are not lost to another generation who knew not their own God, Jud.2:10! If we do not teach these things to our children it will be lost to the next generation who will end up going to hell with the world around them in its wickedness of unregenerated LOVE to and for God!

Worship:

Where two or more are gathered, Jesus is in the midst of them and when they are filled with His Holy Spirit; where they are He is too Lk.17:20-21! So just as Paul was alone in his jail cell in Rome, just before he was taken home to glory, he spent many days worshipping the Lord in his jail cell alone! No matter what our situation is; we too ought to bring a praise and worship continually before the Lord just as our prayer life ought to be continually before the Lord so should our worship life too! Everything we do and say, ought to have Jesus all over it and when the world sees us they ought to see Jesus not us!

Reference verses for worshipping: Ps.100:1-5; 111:1-10; Jn.4:23-24; 1 Cor.14:26-33 & 40; 2 Cor.3:17, and worship must be done in Spirit and in His Truth, Jn.4:23-24 it is required of us! Without Truth we have nothing! Not even Salvation!

Here are some further references to worshipping in our services; let them be seen as some of these scriptures here: Ps.33:1-4; 47:1; 141:2; 149:1-9; 150:1-6; Ac.4:24-31; 1 Tm.2:8; Eph.5:19-27! Here is what this church of our age should be, it is to be in us, we are that temple that the Lord will dwell in; so as it is done in heaven it should be done in us as well, with every moment we have it should be given to praising God.; as it is done before the throne in Heaven should it not, Rev.4:8?

Fasting:

Has already been covered somewhat so we will not spend much time on this here; see Mt.6:16-18; 9:14-15; 17:21; fasting doesn’t win favours from God, it doesn’t mean we are to abuse the body thinking we will get merit before the Lord, it is to put the body under subjection, to mortify it Ro.8:13 for the flesh wars against the Spirit Gal.5:17 and tries to keep us from reaching higher maturity in the Spiritual things of God by distracting us with worldly things and pleasures of the carnal world and the philosophies of men and the wisdoms of the world instead of Godly realms and Spiritual wonders that are for us if we reach for them, the secret things of God Prov.25:2, that a nation of Kings and Priests are to look for, Ex.19:5-6; Lev.11:44-45, Holy Things of God doings, Jn.1:12-13, so we too can be just like Him. Worthy of all dominion over all that He has made!

Holiness of Life:

We have spoken much about this topic already; following Holiness is a lifestyle and is as important as new birth. “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man will see the Lord” Heb.12:14.

God commands His people to be Holy in all conduct because He is Holy, 1 Pt.1:13-25: Those called of God are to obey this command as well as all the others; we are to seek Holiness at all times and fulfill all scripture in our lives, in order to be found righteous and Holy that is bound in truth of the words of God for all mankind! Otherwise Holiness is just a figment of a vain imagination, 1 Jn.5:21!

Holiness is separation from the world and sin and the lusts of the flesh and all carnal thoughts and habits. We keep our Lord’s commandments because it pleases us to please Him and His commandments are not grievous to us either, 1 Jn.5:13-18! We are dedicated to God and His will for us, Ro.12:1-21, see 1 Cor.13:1-3 because His love demands that we are one with Him in truth or we cannot be consecrated for His use!

Christians will not love this ungodly world system of capitalism or materialism, these are vain philosophies of men and the works of the devil, by having men and all mankind bound to money! Which as we know: “That the Love of money is the root of all Evil!” 1 Tm.6:10. We are not to be bound by the activities of this world system or what it has to offer as entertainment! We are to be a called out people a peculiar treasure, Deu.7:6; 1 Pt.2:9! We are called for God’s use only, not man’s use or for his military uses either. No Child of God will shed blood needlessly, we are called to forgive the sinners, Ac.7:60, just as Jesus did, we are to do as well. If we do not forgive them, then why should we be forgiven if we will not forgive them who have offended us, Mt.6:12-15? Holiness to a consecrated life sanctified to Christ in Truth is not of this world’s system that is founded on its own wickedness, so how can a Child of God go to their entertainments? See 1 Jn.2:15-17, that is all the world knows how to entertain is the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life! Those who lift themselves up will be abased and those who exalt themselves will be brought low, Mt.23:12; Lk.14:11; A true Christian learns humility, Lk.14:7-14; Prov.25:23; Ps.18:27; Mt.23:12; Lk.18:9-17; Jms.4:6 and 1 Pt.5:1-9! The true child of God will abstain from all appearances 1 Thes.5:22! When we do that we have thought about our actions before we say or do anything, thus letting the Lord have a chance to direct us and our steps, Ps.119:129-136 (1-176), let us be found walking in His True Light according to His Testaments!

Holiness is both outward and inward 1 Cor.3:16-17 (18-23); 6:19-20; 2 Cor.6:14-18 & 7:1; 1 Thes.5:12-24, keep all scripture and be found cleansed, holy, and righteous in all the words of God, Eph.5:26-27 and found blameless, without spot or wrinkle, when we abide in Him and His Holy Words abide in us, that is the effects of being One with God!

A life of Holiness is striving for perfection, Lk.13:23-24, Mt.7:13-14 see Mt.20:16 and Mt.22:14 for few there will be that find that narrow way and strive to enter thereat! Mt.5:48 & 8; 2 Cor.7:1; Phil.3:1-21, walk worthy of our High Calling of God! We should be as perfect and as perfect as we can be, always growing in His Grace (Pleasing God and finding His favour and His blessedness), for all who are called by His name and have put Him on in baptism Gal.3:26-27, so we really need to strive to be just like Him in word and deed, Jn.14:6; Col.3:17; see all of Jn.15:1-27, this was written to the friends of God, to warn them of what to expect from the world, who will hate us because if they never knew Jesus as the I Am, therefore they will not understand the Holiness of Oneness people: Who walk as Christ did on earth, trying to love everyone and to save the lost sinner and teaching the gospel; that salvation has come to mankind, Mt.4:17; Lk.24:47 and Ac.2:1-4 & 37-47 and 2 Pt.3:18, this is one of the most important commandments of them all, to grow in Grace and the Knowledge of Jesus Christ. For He is the Glory both now and forevermore. Amen! This too shows us that Jesus is the Glory of God manifested in Jesus Christ as God can only have, Is.42:8; Is.48:11-12; 2 Cor.4:6; Lk.17:18; Jn.11:40; and if they would have known who Jesus is as the LORD of GLORY they would not have crucified Him, 1 Cor.2:8! Knowing this, let us glory in Christ Jesus and bring Him praise continually for all He has done for us at Calvary. Who purchased us all with His own blood, Ac.20:28 and given us the Holy Spirit of the earnest hope of salvation Eph.1:1-23!

A Christian’s daily goal is to overcome sin and to keep the flesh under subjection, which wars against the Spirit, Gal.5:17; see Jn.5:14 & 8:11, we too are to go and sin no more by the power of the Holy Spirit who is the power of the Highest, Lk.1:35 & 37, see 1 Jn.5:17-18, for any unrighteousness is a sin to us.

Holiness comes with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit because God is Holy, Lk.11:44-45 and has called us into fellowship with Him and called us to the same standards He resides in; as children of God we too must be Holy inside and out, just as He is. Or we only fool ourselves into thinking we are one with the Lord, for He will have nothing to do with uncleanness or sinful lifestyles! Holiness comes by practical Faith being applied to every aspect of our daily lives as our only nature and characteristics all the time. This is the New Birth of being Born Again of God’s doing it, Jn.1:12-13, seen in Jn.5:38-44 as well by knowing who God is in our lives and walking as He walked when He was with us, as our Immanuel, Jn.14:6 is our life too; so we too can bring glory to the Father by us the sons of God!

Holiness comes by Faith and is a result of Salvation. Holiness brings forth more faith, love, and walking according to the Spirit (Scriptures, see Jn.6:63 & 68, for the words of God are Spirit and they are Truth, Jn.1:16-17), remember we are all called to live according to Spirit and Truth, Jn.4:23-24, because our God is that Spirit of Truth seen in 2 Tm.3:14-17, in His every word to us, 2 Pt.1:19-21! If we find that we have sinned in error of the scriptures, we can approach the throne of all glory and ask for forgiveness as soon as that sin has come to knowledge, 1 Jn.1:9 & 1 Jn.2:1 so that we too can be found as he is when He comes for us, 1 Jn.2:1-6 has called out to us by His Apostle John, for our own edification! As we walk after the Spirit of Truth, in everything we say and do for the Lord’s glory!

All aspects of sanctification are the residual of the baptism of the Holy Spirit’s works in us, which came by our faith in the Lord’s words to us, Eph.2:8-10. If we truly believe God, we will truly believe all His words to and for us in His Holy Bible, collected for our edification and understanding, so that we too can know how to please Him and walk in His likeness and image! This is why obedience is so important to us or our words are meaningless, unless our own actions line up with His words to us! Without the love of God in us we will never be able to keep all His commandments, unless we truly love Him, Jn.14:15 & 23; 1 Jn.2:1-29, for those who are His, keep themselves Righteous as He is Righteous, because any unrighteousness is a sin to us, 1 Jn.5:17-18 and any child of God keeps themselves from all sin!

Love is far stricter than the written law, for the intent of the Spirit in the written word is the heart of all that matters, and the real truth of all things discussed. If they are not believed and put into action by our faith, where is the faith seen by others so they can believe or report or testimonies? That is why being born again of the Holy Spirit is mandatory for salvation, for only the Holy Spirit can bring and create in us that kind of powerful love that only God can create in us again after the fall of the first Adam. This is done through the Holy Spirit’s guidance upon our minds to reveal truth that is not of a lie so that we can reveal the words of God from the words of the world; which will sound to us just as a missed note in a musical will sound off key, so will all words that are a lie, we will hear them right away, by the giftings of the Holy Spirit; by that Spirit we will test all spirits, 1 Jn.4:1-21, according to the words given to us in the Holy Bible Ac.17:10-11, that will be our standard. With that word (Holy Bible) in our hearing we will hear all other words to us and we will judge them according to that mark of excellence, by the Holy Spirit’s ear in us! That is how we will have power over all sin, with a clear and right mind that is sound of hearing, Ro.8:1-13; Gal.5:14-16; 1 Thes.4:1-12, that we lack nothing, so that we too can give to them who are without, Spiritually and materially who are lacking the necessities of life. For a child of God must be willing to give to them who are in serious need always. Would not our Lord do this for us? Amen!

The Holy Spirit in us Lk.21:14-15, teaches us all things especially Holiness that is of Him; by the inspired words to us; anointed preachers and teachers, (See 1 Jn.2:20 & 27 though, we are to have those giftings in us as well!), who proclaim and apply the word and from internal promptings and convictions, which will never deviate from the Holy Bible! Holiness requires a real physical effort that is from the heart, and after many years it will be our natural way of doing all things in our daily lives! As we learn to feel the Holy Spirit leading us into all truths, just as Jesus said to us in His word! We do all these things in our daily lives by implementing all of the commandments or principles of God that are taught to us by His Spirit in the Holy Bible as we live this truth, Ro.6:11-16; Phil.2:10-12, we will give an account for our works or actions, Mt.16:27, Gal.6:1-7 & Rev.22:1-21, scriptures show us we must bear fruits worthy of repentance Ac.26:19-20; Mt.3:8; Lk.3:8-9, see Jn.15:1-27, the root that abides not in the tree or vine is cut off and thrown into the fires of God’s wrath, just as it is seen in Ro.14:-1-12-fs & 11:1-36! We find all that we need for a very successful life in Christ Jesus’ commands to us, called this Holy Bible! With all this said only they who have the baptism of the Holy Spirit can have the mind of Christ Jesus, 1 Cor.2:1-16, that is Holy!

The Christian life is one called to Liberty, in the sense that we are no longer bound by sin, death, the grave and hell. We establish the law in us as we walk according to the Spirit which is the words of God to all the Saints of God! That is our liberty to not allow sin to have any power over us or to dominate our existence anymore! By the power of God in us with His Holy Spirit in us, we now have a predestined outcome by the constant leading of our steps by the Holy Spirit, leading us into all Truth, Jn.4:23-24, that is required of Him in us! These truths are in fact, will be all of our Righteous principles based on sound theology that is fundamentally sound build on all axioms of that Holy Scripture, called the Holy Bible, for that reason it is Holy for us and to us; and will be usable in everyday situations, for all eternity!

Christian liberty and so called non-moral matter do not exist in a Holy Child of God, we all have a creator we will all give an account to, and He will judge us first, 1 Pt.4:17-19 and we had better have a proper account to give for every idle word we speak see Mt.12:36-37, how much more will we give an account for our every action, that had better be Righteous and Holy as He is Righteous and Holy or how can we say we are one with Him? This Holy Word of God is to be lived in all aspects of our lives or we have not established the law at all, Ro.3:1-31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law! Or how can we judge them who are within the church as seen in Paul’s writings to the Corinthians, 1 Cor.5:9-13, if we have not the law of God upon our hearts and minds, 1 Cor.2:1-16, unless we have the very mind of Christ Jesus’?!

To a Christian there is no such thing as nonmoral matters: We are bound to do all to the glory of God in all matters whatsoever they are, 1 Cor.10:31; and Col.3:17, see Ro.6:16 and Jn.8:34 & 29 and do just as Jesus did, Gal.5:1-25 and Eph.5:26-27, let us all be found without spot or wrinkle, perfectly blameless and without one blemish!

Doing everything to glorify God will keep us from all wrong and lead us to watch carefully all doctrines, commandments, precepts, sayings, and statutes, and all lines upon all lines, Is.28:9-12 or be found like those in verse 13 here and those in Mt.7:15-23, not knowing God at all! Avoid anything that will conflict with the word of God in our lives, therefore it is mandatory that we know this world inside and out or we will be found going back into the world by accident, not knowing the love of God in His words to us, that are for our protection and so we have length of life with Him as He promised, if we keep His commandments, with a pure heart, Mt.5:8 and a perfect heart, Mt.5:48 as His is. Without Holiness and Righteousness no man will see God or enter into His Kingdom or have any part with Him in our lives, Lk.17:20-21, for the Kingdom of God is within you, or is supposed to be!

We are to never allow anything to gain dominance in our lives that the flesh craves for, 1 Cor.6:12-20; 10:23; Heb.12:1-3; our body is to be His Temple that is Holy and glorious for Him to live in! See 1 Cor.3:16-17; Heb.8:8-13 and 10:16-17, Mal.3:6 & 16-18, for all those who serve Him, He will bring with Him into His Eternal Kingdom! We are never to harm another human being; Mt.5:³⁸Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

³⁹But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

⁴⁰And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

⁴¹And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

⁴²Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

⁴⁵That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

⁴⁶For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

⁴⁷And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

See Ro.14:1-23; We are not to destroy another with our own faith in what we allow in food or drink, or as to Holidays and Sabbaths which are all shadows of things to come, Col.2:1-23, for we are to use all scriptures in our lives or be found as they of the world; who are a law unto themselves, because they know not God or His ways!

Here are some important areas in which biblical, and therefore universal and unchanging, principles of Holiness apply:

Attitudes: see Gal.5:19-23; Eph.4:23-32; Christians must put away evil attitudes, including hatred, malice, bitterness, wrath, envy, strife and discord, jealousy, pride, prejudice, vengeance, and Covetousness of anything even food, let not gluttony dominate your life 1 Jn.2:15-17, it is covered under the lusts of the flesh! Holiness people have specific dominate traits such as these; bearing fruits (worthy of repentance) of the Holy Spirit; which are love, peace, joy, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithful, meekness, and temperance in all things, even in modesty and moderation with limited amounts of anything. Christians forgive so they in turn can be forgiven as well, just as Grace for Grace Jn.1:16, Christians must be obedient to His word and authority of the government(s) of God’s authorities in which He has placed in leadership in secular or religious positions. As long as they are in the Truth of all His words say to us! If they are not in the truth we are to correct them and bring it to light in front of them all, unless they are an elder, just as Paul taught Timothy in 1 & 2 Timothy, with the order of deacons and bishops! We are to get along with everyone, and if they will not hear us let them be in their ignorance, 1 Cor.14:37-38-40 inside and outside of church, let all things be done decently and orderly! We are not to offend in other’s lives and not be busybodies and get caught in the affairs of others! We let none offend us and we offend none either!
Thoughts: See Mt.15:18-20; 2 Cor.10:1-6, we are to be as Paul is, 1 Cor.11:1 for he is our example in Christ Jesus! Just as Paul follows after Jesus hard, let us do the same, Phil.4:8-9 & 10-20 on giving of ourselves for those who work in the ministry, to support them with our material goods and wealth for those who support us with Spiritual things of God; for this too is pleasing to God and He will reward us for our correct responses to His words by His Grace to and in us! A person is what he thinks and what he allows his mind to dwell on. Christians are to think upon these things; truth, honest, just, pure, lovely, reputable, virtuous, and praiseworthy things. We must chase out all evil thoughts and think of Godly things in praise and worship and then those things cannot enter into our thinking, when we are thinking upon Godly Things, our thoughts must remain on God and His will for our lives, and those of our children’s lives as well.
The Tongue: As called out in Jms.1:26; 3:1-2; 4:1-11; and 5:12. Christians will never speak untruthfully or be a talebearer, or backbiter, never slander, or sow discord, neither by swearing oaths, Mt.5:33-37; neither let your words never use the Lord’s name in vain; or pronouncing curses, reviling, lying, idle or suggestive words, Mt.12:36-37, or indecent words or obscene speech.
The Eye: The eye is the gate to the soul, guard it. Ps.101:2-3; Ps.119:37; Mt.6:22-23. The eye is the gate unto the soul so we must always keep our sight on Godly things and never have pleasure in this world and its activities and luxuries and sights that cause us to error in thoughts and nakedness of the human body as art, in paintings of statues. This would be cause for sensual and vulgarity even in media and entertainments from Hollywood or radio and T.V. over public airways, because the world is always laying in its own wickedness, 1 Jn.5:19 and will always try to promote itself in a prideful manner! We cannot even watch their commercials over public airways due to violence, illicit sex, sinfulness and vanity and pride of life issues that dominate this media!
Appearance: The Bible talks about adornment of dress for women, even back in Deu.22:5, women are not to wear things that pertain to men that have a crouch in them, for that is the garments of the Priests first of all under their robes, and this too would cause confusion. Just as a man is not to have long hair, 1 Cor.11:1-16 and women are never to cut their hair for it their glory, for this reason the angels look into these matters, due to submission and following ordinances and keeping commandments of our God and His Apostles as well, Jn.14:15 and 15:20. We have scripture that tries to keep us from being prideful due to a natural carnal nature that must be mortified, Ro.8:13, 1 Pt.3:1-5; 1 Tm.2:8-10, we are to control these tendencies that even this world tries to justify by its endeavor to try and make us think nothing is wrong with showing more and more skin all the time! Even costly jewelry and hair adornments or costly arrays which say look at me, am I not beautiful, so everyone will cast their eyes upon you or to show all that you have material wealth, as to cause covetousness between one another. This is warned about in Jms.2:1-13, see Ac.10:34, God is not a respecter of persons for their wealth; for it is hard for the wealthy to enter into the Kingdom of God, as Jesus told His disciples, Mt.19:23-30; Lk.18:24.

Our appearance reflects our inner self, both to God and to those around us. Ungodly attire is unseemly as well it promotes the desires of the flesh and lustful and leads to thinking that is most uncomely, as Jesus said, “they have already committed adultery within them, if they look upon them with lustful eyes and thoughts!” Matthew chapter 5 and 27-30; Lk.18:1-30 as well. All of this just promotes ungodly thinking that the world strives to create in us to lead us away from God and toward their philosophies of capitalism and materialism so they can grow wealthy of illicit gains! All of those issues just promote pride of life issues that will lead to self-exaltation and our destruction due to haughtiness! They who exalt themselves will be abased and brought low!

Some basic Biblical principles on this subject are these: 1. Modesty 2. Rejection of ornamentation 3. Moderation on costs 4. Distinction between male and female wardrobes and of the sexes 5. Separation from the world connotations; such as some of these, Christians should abstain from immodest clothing, ornamental jewelry, cosmetics and or hair dyes, very expensive and extravagant or gaudy attire or hats for women; her hair is her covering, she need not wear a hat to cover her head! Dresses are for women not men, and vice versa, women are never to wear pants it causes confusion which is an abomination, no long hair on me (Lev.19:27 & Lev.21:5 on beards, see Mal.3:6 & Heb.13:8.) and no carnal wear with sexual connotations or immodesty. All of this comes under the heading of Discipleship and Stewardship, which will be the next topic.

Stewardship of the body: 1 Cor.3:16-17; 1 Cor.6:12 & 19-20; 2 Cor.6:14-18 & 17:1; The child of God is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (Jn.4:23-24), which is to reside in us, Lk.17:20-21; We are not to ever use anything that will injure the body, which is to remain Holy at all times. The use of drugs that cause intoxication or cause addiction or are harmful to maintaining a right mind should be abstained from; as well as illegal drugs and excessive consumption of alcohol beverages, tobacco, or anything that causes addictions, violate this principle. Even dangerous sports should be abstained from due to injury that will cause us to medicate ourselves due to pain of physical abuses during high impact sports, this is God’s body not ours, we have been purchased for greater uses, to take this gospel to all nations first and foremost!
Sanctity of Marriage between a Man and a Woman: The Bible condemns all sexual relations outside of a lifelong marriage, between man and woman. It condemns and opposes lustful thoughts and actions. See 1 Cor.6:9-10; Col.3:5; Heb.13:4.
Sanctity of Human life: Christians should not participate in violence or taking of human life, including warfare, abortion, and suicide. See Jn.15:13; Gal.5:14; Ex.20:13; Mt.5:39 & 44.
Honesty: The Bible rejects all dishonesty, including lying, theft, defrauding or refusing to remit a payment owed, or bribery, extortion, and cheating!
Fellowship:2:40 says we are to come out from among the unclean generation as well as 2 Cor.6:14-18 and 7:1 as well! Christians should not be identified with sinful attitudes, or lifestyles. They should not fellowship with so called believers who continually indulge in sinful activities. They must resolve internal disputes by the laws that are given to us by Christ in the Epistles and the Beatitudes and must bring them before the church if they will not hear us, we are to get two or three and tell the matter and if they will not listen then bring them to the house of God and let the church decide the matter! A Christian is not to be unequally yoked in marriage with unbelievers, 1 Cor.5:9-6:8; 15:33.
Worldly Activities: Christians must maturely regulate amusements, music, sports, and games. Avoid worldly atmosphere and appearances. Some amusements are inherently worldly, such as gambling, dancing, hard rock music, and the occult and their activities, rituals and even some traditions of the Universal Church of Rome. See 1 Thes.5:22; Tit.3:1-8 to 11; 1 Jn.2:15-17.

In Summary:

Holiness is to imitate Christ, Jn.14:6; and to be Christ like! A Holiness person will not gratify the flesh nature, Ro.8:13; or the lusts of the flesh either; we have power over our emotions and our bodies. We will have the personality of Jesus the Lord of us, if we love Him we will keep to His commandments; His commandments are not grievous to us! See Ro.13:14 AND Gal.4:19; The Christian will judge every action and word by what Jesus would do, Jn.14:6!

Holiness is an integral part of wisdom and the fear (Reverence Aw) of the Lord; without that there is no wisdom and understanding at all! Without the Holy Spirit power how can we go and have victorious battle against the power of the adversary, the Price of the Air? We need power that is only obtained through complete study of all that God gives us in His words to us, they are our weapons because they are authorized for our defenses by His name that covers us with His blood, giving us the identity of a purchased price, we belong to Him alone and the Prince of the Air has lost dominion over us and all power! Thus, we too can order Satan to get thee behind us just as Jesus did in Mt.16:23, for we do not care for the things of this world but for the things of the Spirit! Holiness is the only life a true Christian will have, it is the true essence of being one with God in His blessing abound in grace when we love Him and walk with Him in truth! It is a joyful life to walk before the Lord and know we are His blessed ones unto all eternity. We should abound in His abundance, and His Holiness in us fulfills His original intent for all human fellowship with Him in purity and Righteousness! Mt.5:17-20 and Heb.12:14 is the completion of all His work of redemption in Salvation! Holiness is our normal mode of life and our only way to live in this world. It is Christian life at its fullest in perfection, Mt.5:48, just as He is perfect so shall we be when we keep His words to us in our lives!

The Church

The Church is the Ecclesia (ekklesia, Strong’s # 1577), is an assembly of Christian believers who know Jesus as the I AM, they meet in Home Church buildings for this specific use, and many men try and make organizations of different sects of religious bodies, called denominational churches and even now today called non-denominational churches, meaning they have no doctrinal creeds or symbols. Others know these are their Statement of Faith, this is no more than just another creed or decree or dogma of man’s doing. Jesus told us not to swear an oath, let our yea be yea and our nay be nay, anything more than this is of evil, Mt.5:33-37.

The Church body is described as the Bride of Christ, not an organization! Where two or more are gathered together He will be in the midst of them, Mt.18:20; Lk.17:20-21, He is in us, not in a building or an organization, Christ is in us and we are His Temple! We the believers are a universal body if we know Jesus is the I Am, if not we are in our sin yet still, for not understanding His truths, Jn.8:24 & 58, that is required in Jn.4:23-24, for all of us to be believers in God in Christ Jesus, reconciling the universal world unto Himself by Jesus, 2 Cor.5:19-21! The Churches mission and our commissions from Jesus is to bring this gospel to all we meet and come to worship in Spirit and in His Truths! Till we all come to the perfection of Christ Jesus in us, Eph.4:13 & 2 Pt.3:18! Our mission is to worship and glorify God, evangelize the world, neighborhoods, families, and friends. To develop disciples to become Saints of God and to go into the world and spread this gospel truth, as mature Saints of God, 1 Jn.2:20 & 27, who needs no teacher! They will be all taught of God, Jer.31:31-34; Is.54:13; Heb.8:8-13 & 10:16-17, as it is seen in chapter 37 of Ezekiel. Being led by the Holy Spirit in us, Lk.21:14-15, that none can gain say against!

Each believer is his own priesthood, and priest to God, who can communicate directly with God, as long as they keep sin out of their own lives, Prov.15:8; 28:9 and 21:27 the worst one! That will keep our prayers from being heard in the Throne Room of God! Prayers from the sinful that are willingly sinful are a stench in the nostrils of the Lord! Each member of the Bride of Christ has his or her jobs to do, there are many levels of maturity and room for growth always 2 Pt.3:18 shows us this in His word to us, let us do as Paul said seek after and covet the best gifts, 1 Cor.12:1-fs but the best is seen in 1 Cor.13:1-3 by love and walking as a Saint of God in Ro.12:1-21! When we truly love the lord and want to be His servant, He will equip us for His calling and His positioning! Then He will give the increase as we stay in His will for our lives! We are never to recreate another Sanhedrin of Priests or orders of Priests over the laity, for that is against the structure of the first church, and the people are to choose the deacons who distribute the necessities of wealth through the church to those who are really in need of it. The pastors, evangelists, prophets, and apostles are to work as Paul had shown us to do, so that we too can care for our own and are never a burden to the church of God, if at all possible we too should work with our own hands as well as they who tithe to the church! The Lord hates an organization that lord’s over its people as the Nicolaitans did. See Revelation chapter 2 & 3 in order to be overcomers and never a Nicolaitan! Or part of an organization that lord’s over its members and causes ministers to pay a bribe price to minister in their organization (licensing fees)! With fees and dues just to obtain authority to baptize in their churches! This is not what God intended for us to do! Gal.6:1-2; Col.4:3, 12.

Each member of God’s organization will always bear each other’s burdens. Each member has a position of service that God has commissioned them to. It is up to each of us to learn what our calling and giftings are! We are called to be instant in prayer and service, at any time, if we are to have a ministry, 2 Tm.4:2. We are all to be well equipped and trained up, able to translate the word of God, 2 T.2:15 studying the word and being able to give an account as to why we believe what we believe, 1 Pt.3:15. Some are Apostles and far fewer than they that call themselves so! The same is true for Prophets, Evangelists, even preachers and teachers, see Jms.3:1, for teachers and directors of the governments of God and His ways to the brethren will face a higher judgment and standard is upon them, Mt.23:1-12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. They who are servant to all will be the greatest among them. Never give honor to yourself always let others give you the honor as Jesus said, always sit in the lower seat. With a humble and contrite heart will anyone seek the offices of minister or deacon.

Prophets; see Rev.19:10, we who have the Spirit of Jesus Christ in us have the mind of Christ and can have His revelations given to us before they come to pass, which will match up with all that is already given to us in His words to us Ac.17:10-11.

Evangelist; preacher to the unsaved and always abounding to one place to another that the Lord will have them go where the Lord knows they are ready to receive His words to them, Jn.6:44-47, those He has already called, so the evangelist will always produce a harvest, if he has an ear tuned to what thus sayeth the Lord to him.

Preacher/Teacher; is one who trains the disciples up to mature accountability in the services of the Lord, according to the Spirit, so the church is always ready to send out missionaries to start more home-churches and daughter works! That is a pastor’s and teacher’s job to do, if they are not doing this they need to be replaced. A true Apostle will not allow this to happen and bring a council against the leadership of that church!

Deacon; see 1 Tm.3:1-8-fs are very similar for Bishops as well, which are no more than preachers/teachers. Who are responsible for taking care of the needs of the community church and the needs of the elderly and orphaned. They are the servants of the pastors and are to keep the church running smoothly and are beneficial for special sessions or meeting. On occasion they can fill in for the pastor or until another one is elected into office.

God has ordained church government for organizational function only and to keep order and to stop confusion in the church body. They are never to Lord over the members of the body, they are to bring the truth of the things of God and the heart of that matter always! We are to obey them as long as they are consistent with their scriptures and there are no errors in the transliteration of the Holy Bible! See Ro.12:4-8; 1 Cor.12:28; 1 Thes.5:12-13; Heb.13:17; The servants of God are never to be dictators, they are to be examples of all that the Lord has shown us, Jn.14:6 just as Jesus walked so should we all! Last verses, Mt.20:25-28; 1 Pt.5:3.

The Church members are the ones who have the gifts of the Spirit, it is not all on the pastors only, and the whole body is to work to make the body whole and functional! Very rarely will an Apostles be in the church and have all the giftings of an Apostle, which is why the whole body is to be in place and operational at all times. Just as called out in 1 Cor.12:1-31 and Eph.4:1-32. We all have a job to do for the church assembly, let each find their own way with the leading of the Holy Spirit! This is also a pastor’s job to assist in this as well so all have a chance to worship and minister to each other.

The giftings of the Lord will remain until His coming for us as He has called us to serve Him; as long as we come to Him in faith believing; it is impossible to please Him without faith, and the faith to move mountains is a gift of God. It is we who have to make ourselves available for Him to work through us in faith activated, then He can use us in the way He feels is necessary. The key is to know His will in these special needs at any given time. The gifts of the Spirit are never contrary to what is seen in the Bible. Godly leadership will always make sure that the people’s enthusiasm is not seen as a move of the Spirit of God, for the Spirit of God and the manifestations of the Lord are not carnal, but supernatural. The leadership will always respect the Holy Spirit and let the Spirit of God have its way but there is always order and never confusion. See 1 Cor.1:2, 7; 12:8-10; There is only one way to use the gifts of the Spirit and that is in love, and for edification of the whole body. We are to expect the supernatural healing and the working of the gifts of understanding, and knowledge also, with tongues and interpretation, if there is no interpretation the tongues must be kept to themselves, for self-edification or that person must give the interpretation, but we are to seek the best gifts and pray that the Lord use us for these, such as giving prophetic utterances.

Gifts of revelation; 1. Word of Wisdom divine guidance, direction, or insight for a specific situation, Ac.27:9-11; 2. Word of Knowledge; divine revelation of a fact otherwise unknown to the recipient, Ac.5:1-11.

Discerning of Spirits; 3. Perceiving whether something is motivated by God, an evil spirit, or the human spirit. Ac.16:16-18.

Gifts of Power; 4. Faith, a special endowment of trust in God for particular crisis or a seemingly hopeless situation, Ac.27:21-25; 5. Gifts of healing; divine healing, either instantaneously or progressive, for various types of physical and mental diseases Ac.5:12-16; Christ’s power was due to the Supernatural Spirit that is in Him; that is the Father, for it is He who doeth the works, see Jn.3:34 and Jn.14:7-18, that Spirit is to be in us as well and by His stripes we are healed in remission of sins and made whole once again, so that we can be a Holy Vessel 2 Tm.2:19-22, with a pure heart that can be the container for Him to dwell in us, Lk.17:20-21, so we are the Temporary Kingdom of God in us 2 Cor.6:14-18 & 17:1; which has power that is in Jesus, this is the same power that is in all of us, if we are Born Again. All we have to do to activate it is to believe and have faith the size of a mustard seed and we too can move mountains! See Mt.21:21-22; Mt.17:20; Jms.1:16-18; but remember 1 Cor.13:1-13 especially verse number 2: And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Gifts of Miracles: 6. We still have the power to lay hands on the sick and they recover Mt.8:16-17 and Mk.16:17-20, the elders are to anoint with oil and to pray over them and with the laying on of hands, Jms.5:13-18, shows us that we to must exercise our faith for faith to grow and become stronger. We are to expect works of miracles; with direct interventions by God in many kinds of situations, which transcend the natural realms and the physical limitations of human beings! See Ac.20:7-12; 28:1-6 and 7-10.

Gifts of Utterance; 7. Prophecy; meaning a message from God in the known language, 1 Cor.14:1-40, let all things of God be done in a decent and orderly fashion. Generally every anointed testimony, preaching, or praise can be called prophecy see Lk.21:14-15, Jesus’ Spirit is us gives us that ability see Rev.19:10.

Kind of tongues; messages from God in a language not known by the speaker or the audience, can still by the Spirit be given to another in a word of interpretation of that tongue, for the edification, correction, reproving the congregation or even a warning, that can lead into prophetic utterances. But that is by the Holy Spirit and God will direct the speaker, at any time the interpretation doesn’t line up with scripture the Pastor or Bishop is to break off all communications with this spirit, and not allow them to keep using the host. All our words will edify what has already been given to us in His Holy Bible and through prophecy or interpretations; all our words will always be truthful and agree with scripture Ac.17:11. Never will there be a New Revelation given, unless it agrees with what is already written in the words of God to us. We are not to forbid the speaking of tongues in the churches. See 1 Cor.14:4, 14-15, 18, and 29.
Interpretation of tongues; this is to give the meaning of the message of tongues in public; 1 Cor.14:5, 27-28.

Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper and footwashing to be done in remembrance of Him, many churches usually do this about the time of Passover each year with Communion service being first each year at New Year’s Eve night. Here are your verses to study on this matter; Lk.22:14-20; Jn.13:2-17; 1 Cor.10:16-17; 11:23-34. The Lord’s Supper consists of eating unleavened bread and drinking the fruit of the vine, which symbolizes Christ’s broken body and His shed blood, for the remission of sin. The church is to partake of this service with extreme reverence and worthily as seen in 1 Cor.11:17-34, let us all remember to keep to what the Apostles have instructed us in their epistles to the Saints of God! Just as footwashing will teach us humility, to be a servant to our brothers and sister, for we are always in the sight of our God. That is why we are always to examine ourselves, even before giving grace at each meal that our Lord has bestowed upon all of our tables. You never know when it will be your last supper with Him on earth that He has provided for us. Eat it worthily!

The local church should meet regularly as often as they can, one can never get too much fellowship with those of the Christian community, and I would say that our lives should be surrounded by other Christians in daily activities that cause the whole community to survive and flourish so that it is self-sufficient whenever possible so as to minimize the contact with outsiders of the world and their carnal ways and Ideologies and Philosophies as well! The Christian communities need to start working for their own communities and stores and banks as well as hospitals and orphanages as well as old folk’s homes and care centers! We need to have our own courts of law and our own municipalities, water, sewer, gas, wood lumber mills and concrete companies for buildings and homes! Our own farms with non-hormone raised foods and non GMO grains and flours. If the church doesn’t stand together and do this it will never survive in the wickedness of the world around us, 1 Jn.5:19, were we not called to come out from among the unclean? Ac.2:40, 2 Cor.6:14-18 & 17:1. That is enough scripture for me to see that we need our own institutions and men of God leading the community of believers back into the Holiness and Righteousness that is only found in the scriptures lived in our own lives for God who is in us, Lk.17:20-21, if we are to be His Holy Temples!

A Jeweled Crown of Glory,

or Fruits of the Spoil to Satan

Rev. G. L. Boyett

Written in the Last Days, 7/27/2016!

I want to start this lesson off with the word jewel, because we are special jewels unto the Lord. We see in Mal.3:¹⁷ And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

This is because of some people getting together much like today, whenever two or more are gathered in My name I will be in the midst of them. Just for coming together to praise and worship Him we get put in a book of remembrance. Mal.3:^{16 17}Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. When we take on His name at our wedding with Him when we go down in the water we become His property, but so much more than that. We become one with Him a bride and a joy, a precious jewel, the apple of His eye, Deu.32:¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

He found us wondering around on His planet earth, and made Himself known to us in Romans 1 we see this, starting in verse ¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ¹⁹ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. ²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead (Theiotes; His Eternal Divinity, as the One True God, 1 Jn.5:20; Gal.3:20; Seen in Deu.6:4 & 8:3 and Mt.4:4!); so that they are without excuse: This is the gift of grace given to us for our redemption, because He loved us from creation. He wanted a relationship with someone of His kind that is a living soul who has a spirit, which will return to Him Ecc.12:7 & Heb.12:9, if we are Holy Heb.12:14 as He is Holy, Jn.14:6 see 1 Jn.2:1-6: If we are taught of God and not man’s wisdom, Jer.31:31-34 as seen also in chapter 37 of Ezekiel.

We are one of a kind to Him and in everything else that there is that was created, there is nothing like us that does exist, this is why when we come to Him and are raised out of the water of death to self and into a new world, we become a special person; a Disciple of Jesus Christ born again speaking in a Heavenly Tongue Ac.2:1-4, seen in Jn.3:3-8 Ready to be blown, where He needs us to go for Him. When we receive His Holy Spirit (Jn.20:22 & Ac.11:1-18) and we become one with Him, we become a peculiar people. His jewels, He then cannot keep His eyes off of us. He is always before us in the spirit trying to keep His own in all righteousness; if only we will allow the Spirit to operate in us. For in us lives all truth, and righteousness, when we keep ourselves holy unto Him (Jn.6:63 & 68 & Jn.4:23-24!): we are a well designed tool, even a weapon if you will, when we are wielding His scriptures to the lost souls or against the adversary. Eph.6:13-17 says put on the whole armor of God.

Thanks to Adam and Eve which were God’s first jewels He created in His likeness; sin entered into God’s perfect creation: (Because they listened to someone else instead of Him alone!), which in turn will take a Godly solution to correct the sin, (The temporary solution: The blood of the animals was spilled, for the skins; that God clothed them with, Gen.3:22!). Because of sins power to alter everything in God’s perfect creation (Gen.3:17-19), sin will not be able to be removed until God sees fit to remove it (With His purifications see 2 Pt.3:1-13 and Zech.13:9!). We are very much as like a jewel or gem that is in the ruff (in sin), before we come to the Lord.

If you don’t know what you are looking for and without a well trained eye you could in fact pick up something that looked like a plain old rock; but if you were to throw it away; you would be in fact, in all actuality be throwing away a perfectly good fortune. This is how we appear to God before He picks us up and cleans us off (when we repent) polishes us up (baptism in the only name that counts, in Jesus name) and He starts cutting the facets (He anoints us with His oil the Holy Spirit we are reborn or Born Again, again into His likeness, a new sinless creation of God, 2 Cor.5:17-21) we become jewels (a Diadem), fit for a righteous King; a KING of kings and LORD of lords; Golden Crown. Ex.19:⁵Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure (His special jewels) unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: ⁶And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel (as we are grafted into the vine we draw from the root, Romans 11:12-27). This is why we must be in the world, to lead those that are lost back to Him, but not of this world (Ac.2:40; 2 Cor.6:14-18 and Jms.4:1-4!), for to be worldly is to be carnally minded and be of the flesh, which leads to death. Rom.8:4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Jn.6:63 & 68; Jn.4:24 and 1 Tm.3:16, God is that HOLY Spirit made flesh, as seen in Jn.1:1-18 & Rev.4:8). ⁵For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. ⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. ⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. See 1 Jn.2:15-17-ffs. & 1 Jn.5:17-18 too!

This can only happen if we put all of our faith in God Almighty (Is.9:6-7), by the power given us at our rebirth when Jesus’ Spirit was put in us (Jn.14:18 & Jn.20:22, seen in Ac.11:1-18 as well as Jn.17:1-ffs.), for all the fullness of the Godhead (Theiotes, Divinity, Jn.3:34), is in JESUS our savior. Col.2:⁹For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead (Strong’s # 2320; Theotetos, meaning Deity) bodily (1 Tm.3:16). ¹⁰And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: ¹¹In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: ¹²Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead (Jesus is God’s firstfruits, Himself in the flesh raised by His own power, JN.10:1-18). ¹³And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; ¹⁴Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; ¹⁵And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. ¹⁶Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: ¹⁷Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (Jn.14:15 & Jn.15:20). Which when we realize God has manifested Himself in the flesh, seen in 1 Tim.3:16, we find out who this Jesus really is (See Is.40:3 and Mt.3:3)!

As seen in 1 John 5:¹⁹And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. ²⁰And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God by being the adopted son of King David. This is the true God, and eternal life, Jn.3:16-18! See Ps.110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool: With understanding comes our brilliance and glorious shimmering shine, as we are tempered in the trials of this world, we are becoming more like Him who knew no sin in His flesh, this Jesus of Nazareth. This is the big secret and the world’s greatest mystery a stone of offense laid in Zion, this Jesus the stone (God Himself in the flesh to remove sin in a supernatural way (Jn.4:34) in which only He could do) which the builders (Israelite priests) rejected: I have made the chief corner stone (the foundation of salvation from sin) in which I will build My Church. This Jesus, who we (because we are all sinners in heart) have crucified because of our sins that we inherited from Adam your natural father; God has raised up Jesus from the dead and made Him Lord and The Christ (Ac.2:36 & 10:36); Man, the Israelites, and all of us are responsible for Christ death on the cross, because of sin and how wide spread and powerful it is. It was by the grace of God that He is opening your eyes to see that He came so that you would not be lost; like one of those that are still lost and in the world who have not received His salvation today but think they are saved because some man told them so. Where is the proof of the Spirit in us? 1 Jn.4:1, we are to test the spirits! That is what Ac.2:1-14 is for as seen in Ac.11:1-18 because of Cornelius’s baptism, seen in Ac.10:44-48!

He (Jesus) that knew no sin became sin for you and me, so that we might receive salvation, not having our conscience seared over with a hot iron; for if we do not answer this call, right now we are as good as those that are still lost. Ready to be devoured by the roaring lion Eze.22:²⁴Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. ²⁵There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

This is what happens when people listen to this world and the people that are not speaking in the Holy Spirit of the Lord. Satan of this world gets them, and they are now being deceived as we speak (2 Cor.11:¹²But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.¹⁴And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.¹⁵Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.): But there is another LION more powerful than the one of this world, the Lion of the pride and tribe of Judah: Jesus Christ the one who has overcome this world, death, Hell and the grave, and has the keys to Hell! John16:³³These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Rev.1:¹⁸I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

As long as we keep in His commandments and do as He says in His Holy Scriptures, we will become His overcomers; Rev.2:²⁵But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. ²⁶And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ²⁷And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. ²⁸And I will give him the morning star. ²⁹He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches!

The bright and morning star

The bright and morning star is no less than our very own Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He will be our crowning jewel. When we overcome this world and the flesh that wars against the Spirit (Gal.5:17) and love our brothers as we are taught to do, (Mt.5:1-48 & Gal.5:14), we have fulfilled all the law and He will give us a stone with our new name on it, which only He and you will know. Rev.2:¹⁷He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. This white stone may very well be a simple lime stone (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/140811124628.htm), but oh what a special and precious gem it really is, for it is the stone in which was rolled away at His resurrection, which brings life to those who except Jesus Christ as their personal savior: when they ask Him to come into their hearts; those that want to start a new life all over again (Ro.3:25), with the slate wiped clean; free for all sin that has come into their life. Jesus hung on the cross and drained His life giving blood, His very own Spirit out on the ground for you and I (Ac.20:28), can we deny Him any longer, for to do so is to be in a fire of Hell everlasting!

The heat we face each and every day for Him now is nothing compared to the glory we will receive when we hear those priceless words from Him, “Well done My good and faithful servant!” These trials of these last days on this world are only His furnace tempering His jewels to perfection, hardening them and adding those unique colors to the nature of the stone He wants us to be, different from all the rest, each a special master piece by our Master Gemologist, who created all thing unto Himself for Himself Col.1:16-17.

We see in the Stong’s Exhaustive Concordance that there are only three scriptures that have the word jewel in them, but we also see in the His word we see jewels being in the plural case we have it used 23 times. Only once is it used by God in a certain way, Mal.3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

These are those who rightly fear the Lord in reverence and in Honoring Him in word and deed (Col.3:17). These are His overcomers of this world. God came to earth to have sin removed from His presence as well as ours (Jn.5:14 & 8:11), but only after we receive Him and His salvation and His Holy Spirit in us; to have power over sin and the flesh (Ro.8:1-13). And then sin is removed on a personal level, not anymore to be on a worldly level (Jms.4:1-4). He cannot and will not remove it forever until after the end of this age because of freewill or there would be no freewill at all; but after His thousand year reign, only the Righteous and Holy will be His children (Mt.5:20 & Heb.12:14). His redeemed people are the most important thing to Him that there can be, for we are His pride and his glorious achievement, because we are created in His image. This means before sin entered into the picture, we were perfect in every way. Let me see if I can give some light to the use of this word jewel, which is only mentioned once in the Book of Life, for this particular meaning. Number 5459 in the Hebrew is used only 8 times all for this definition: ce- short e sound cegullah- seg-ool-law’ it is in the Fem. Gen. passive participle. From a unused root word so this means it is to be a root word in which one could build other words from or compound words or phrases. This is an important word when you can use it to build a word never used before, by combining another word to it. For in its context we see it used in reference to God taking His Bride or His Church, His people, who call on His name, and are called by His Name; and mean it rightly (Jn5:39-44; Ac.4:12; Gal.3:26-27 & Eph.5:26-27). This word is described thusly: to shut up wealth (as closely shut up):–Jewel, (peculiar, special treasure), proper, good (perfect), special (virginity, pure Mt.5:8 & 48 Perfect as He is Perfect?). I get the sense we see here, beings we are talking about a bride it is a virgin who is spotless and is perfect in every way who has kept herself for one purpose; to be His bride and a glory to Him, a priceless jewel without measure; bought by the very blood of God, Ac.20:28!

I hope I have brought some kind of perspective to the Love in which the Father has for His children, for He looks on us like this because we are His bride. He wishes to pour out on us His blessing which are priceless jewels, if you will; for no one else can receive them but His children who have taken His name. We are adopted into the tribe of Judah, and at least 144,000 from the tribes of Israel to be His bride to come. This is His Church, and the love of His very being. The reason He created the universe! To Love those made in His Image!

Let us look at this so great love of our Husband: we see in Ezek. That God is about to use His most valuable jewels to adorn His bride, because we are in fact His brightest jewels He has in His tray to use in His crown. In chapter 16 we read this;

Ezekiel 16

God’s Love for Jerusalem

¹ Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, ³ and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: “Your birth and your nativity are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. ⁴ As for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. ⁵ No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.
⁶ “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ ⁷ I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
⁸ “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord GOD. ⁹ “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. ¹⁰ I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. ¹¹ I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. ¹⁴ Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord GOD.

We have seen for ourselves just how great a love the Lord has for us, so much He came and humbled Himself; the creator of the universe our God your savior Jesus Christ, who knew no sin became sin for us:

2Cor.5: Be Reconciled to God, as Apostle Paul told us:

¹² For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart (those in the world). ¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. ¹⁶ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. (We are to make disciples of all people and all nations Mk.8:34-38); ²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. See Ac.2:36 7 10:36, for Jesus is LORD GOD OF ALL!

We are to receive Christ Jesus for our salvation and to rest on AND IN HIM, Jn.17:1-ffs.: and nothing or no one else but Jesus Christ our Savior, for He was nailed to the cross of redemption and reconciliation, and by the blood of the sacrifice, His precious blood, we are redeemed by the power of Him and His name (Jn.14:14 & Ps.138:2 for thou hast magnified thy word, above all, thy name!), the name above all names, the only name by which salvation comes. (Ac.4:12 neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. See Lk.24:47!) Let no one preach any other gospel to you than this, Gal.1:8-9, or let them be cursed!

Col.2:

Not Philosophy but Christ Jesus, says Apostle Paul:

¹ For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, ² that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, ³ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (See 1 Cor.2:1-16, have you this? And you call yourself saved? Not if you do not have His Truths, Jn.4:23-24!). ⁴ Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. ⁵ For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. ⁶ As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, ⁷ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. ⁸ Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. ⁹ For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead (Theotetes, Deity, of Strong’s Concordance # 2320) bodily; ¹⁰ and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (This is why we baptize in Jesus name, ONLY! Jn.10:30 & 14:7-18, He is the comforter who comes along side the Parakletos # 3875; that is who Jesus is, 1 Tm.3:16!)

1Tim.3:¹⁶And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (Jn.1:1-18, read the Greek first, to see why I say these things to you!), justified in the Spirit (Jn.4:24, see in Rev.4:8 and 1 Tm.6:13-16 as well, Jesus is that Holy One which was conceived in Mary’s womb of Himself, Lk.1:35, see in Is.9:6-7!), seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. This Jesus, God in the flesh has now immortal body that is in heaven sitting on the right hand of God (sitting at the right hand is a synonymous for being in full power or authority, for God is a Spirit, (Jn.4:24) and has no hands unless He decides to manifest Himself in another way again.) in His glory that He had before the foundations of the earth, seen and represented in 1 Tm.6:13-16 and Jn.16:28, seen in Jn.3:13 as well!

Jn.17:³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. ⁴I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do (Jn.4:34). ⁵And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was (Heb.12:9), from where all spirits come from and will return to Ecc.12:7! Jesus was always in the mind of God (Foretold, Predestinated and the Mighty One of Jacob, Is.49:26!), from before anything was created Col.1:16-17, for Himself and by Himself; God had a plan and always will have a way that is above our understanding that we can’t comprehend; but all things will be in accordance to His predestined will, for He has made everything that we need to know, He has made it known to us by His prophets, and apostles: For they are the foundation to the Church of the living God with Jesus as the chief corner stone Ac.4:11-12, see Mt.21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

We are all predestined to fit into His plans of creation in that we are to be built up or tore down, depending on how we react to His plan of salvation (Freewill in action!); the choice is all up to us, to live or to die a second death of separation, to be cutoff, to live eternally in “Hell’s Lake of Fire”, read Mark chapter 9 and Is.66:24 as well as the whole book of Revelations!

2 Tim2:¹⁹Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity (those who receive Jesus as Lord and savior, these are those who take His name). ²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour (those who receive His plan of salvation), and some to dishonour (these are the people that God knows will not receive His message of hope and LOVE; who will not be reconciled to Him, Prov.14:12 & 16:25.). ²¹If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master’s use, and prepared unto every GOOD WORK. ²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity (out of all the gifts the Lord gives us is Love for all the commandments, prophesies, Laws, statutes, sayings, and judgments hang on Love, WITHOUT Love we do all things in vain if we do not have His (Tit.3:1-8 & Jms.5:19-20; and 1 Pt.4:1-19.), God’s Agape; LOVE, in our hearts for our fellow man, this is our burden, or it should be, that non be lost, 2 Pt.3:9.) peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart! Jn.1:12-13, that only God can manufacture in us by His regeneration, in being Born Again of Him, His way, according to all His words to us, Is.28:9-12, so we too can find His rest, otherwise it is verse 13 of Isaiah 28 for you! Much like these in Mt.7:15-23!

We have to make up our own minds because God wants all to come to Him out of love, He will have it no other way. He knows who is going to be His from the start, He sees to the heart of man, there is no hiding your true feeling: all you need to know is that you need to love Him and seek Him out and ask Him to show you Himself so that you can start to build a relationship. Ps.34:⁸O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. When we put our faith in Him as Lord and Savior, and confess Him as our God our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ; He will remove all our sins and cover them with His blood of forgiveness never to be seen or heard of again. In regeneration we find His Holy Spirit Lk.11:13 when we ask for it; then we have the power to go and sin no more, to have His mind, to know His will for us that is only found in all His words to us, that is His grace Ac.20:24 & 32! This too is seen in Jn.1:16-17, for all Grace and Truth lay in obedience to His every word to us, so we too can be found perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all Good and Prefect Works, 2 Tm.34-17, 2 Pt.1:19-21!

We can either be the brightest gem, jewel, and Diadem in His tray, or we can become as one of those condemned to die the second death in the Lake of Hell’s Fire!!! “Satan’s Spoils”. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God, Heb.10:30-31; Gal.6:1-7; Mt.16:27 and Rev.14:13; see all of chapter 22. If anyone can get anything out of the Bible it should be not to get God angry Heb.12:29 and Ps.2:1-12! Look what God has to say about His pride and joy, His bride when they rejected Him, Dan.12:1-3. Mal.3:18 Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

Malachi 4

The Great Day of God

¹ “For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the LORD of hosts, (to all nations of the gentiles around the world and to the elect that does not heed to God’s commandments judgments, saying and statutes yes all of them, God changes not, Mt.5:17-20!),
“That will leave them neither root nor branch.
But this is to the Israelites and those of us grafted in that are saved by faith in Jesus:

² But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
³ You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
⁴ “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,

Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments. ⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. (Mt.11:1-15 and Mt.17:10-13!)
⁶ And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

Israel will have a plan and does have a plan that has been in place since the foundations of the earth, to be redeemed by Jesus, for God will send two prophets of old to change the hearts of the Israelites just before judgment falls on the earth. But the gentiles fit under a different category for our fore-father’s were Esau which God hated, because He was in sin, for Esau’s heart was not right in the sight of God just as Cain’s was not right before God. We will use Malachi for this next example of how God can show His wrath:

Malachi 1 (New International Version)

Malachi 1:¹ A prophecy: The word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi.

Israel Doubts God’s Love: ² “I have loved you,” says the LORD. “But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’ “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet I have loved Jacob, ³ but Esau I have hated (actually means to like less or unloved, which men take to extreme, not God, for God is Love, 1 Jn.4:1-fs.), and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.”; (Because of Esau’s descendants actions because he never taught them the ways of God and Abraham!).

⁴ Edom may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins.”

But this is what the LORD Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the LORD. ⁵ You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great is the LORD—even beyond the borders of Israel!’

God is either Hot with a burning passionate love of His children, the apple of His eye, the best of His crown jewels: or Cold as glacier’s run off waters for those that reject His plan of salvation, after one rejects His plan of salvation it just gets harder and harder to come to Him. Satan is always in your ear saying we have time to do this later, we don’t need to do it right now, and we can wait. I like this one he used on me; you will never be able to be as good as He wants you to be so don’t you even try, because He won’t accept you. I used them all myself and have even heard worse than that from Satan; at one time or another, but Satan is the father of all lies, we do not have to believe him (Jms.4:7). We can rebuke him with God’s words and put him in his place and send him running from God’s child, simply by telling him to get thee behind me, I am the Lord God’s Almighty’s child, and start praising God and the devil has no choice in the matter they must flee from you (Jms.4:⁷Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!). Satan only has power over you if you let him have it; we have dominion over this earth (Gen.4:7, even back then!), because God gave this right to Adam in Genesis. God even instructed Cain before he fell into sin in Gen.4 that sin was at the door, if he didn’t control himself and put sin in its place and control it, we have this power over the devil, if we would just use it! This is what faith is all about, using our beliefs with a strong heart and mind without doubts and fears! If we truly do have the Spirit of Jesus in us we can and do have this power and authority: Romans8:¹There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

³For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

⁴That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. See Jn.6:63 & 68! For the Word is God and the Word is Spirit and Truth Jn.1:1-16-17, seen in verse 18 the begotten Theos, God, seen in Jn.4:24! Made flesh, 1 Tm.3:16!

⁵For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Mt.4:4; Lk.4:4 Jn.14:15 and Jn.15:20 as seen in Jn.8:47 & 51, for the children always do that which pleases the Father Jn.8:29!

⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God!

⁹But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

If we accept this plan of salvation and ask the Lord to come into our hearts and dwell in us as we dwell with Him in our lives then we can be born again; and be one in His Spirit of Truth. Jesus said He was the way, the truth and the life, John14:⁶Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

We must become one with Jesus in order to have a relationship with the Father (See 1 Jn.2:1-29).

Except a man be born again he can no wise enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God!

We have two choices to either be Jewels unto the Lord to be used for His glory, or to be a harlot of the world, and live after the flesh and to be carnally minded, which is a death sentence, you are either condemned or you are saved one or the other: When we turn our backs on God; He looks at us with contempt, as a harlot; look at some scripture that shows Israel’s harlotry; these are the scriptures that are right after the scriptures where He raised up Israel out of the wilderness, as if someone had cast out a baby into an open country side, left to die after just being born with the umbilical cord still attached, as earlier stated; well let’s just look at Ezek.16: Ezekiel 16

¹Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

²Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

³And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

⁴And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

⁶And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.

⁷I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

⁸Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

⁹Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

¹⁰I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

¹¹I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

¹²And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

¹³Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

¹⁴And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

Israel plays the Harlot

After receiving a blessing from the Lord and being exulted; Israel does the unthinkable:

Ezek.16:¹⁵But thou didst trust in thine own beauty and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

¹⁶And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

¹⁷Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

¹⁸And tookest thy broidered garments and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

¹⁹My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.

²⁰Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured (In endless and mindless wars upon wars!). Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,

²¹That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

²²And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.

²³And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD),

²⁴That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.

²⁵Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to everyone that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

²⁶Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.

²⁷Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.

²⁸Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.

²⁹Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewith.

³⁰How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;

³¹In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

³²But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!

³³They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

³⁴And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.

³⁵Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

³⁶Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

³⁷Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them roundabout against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

³⁸And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

³⁹And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

⁴⁰They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

⁴¹And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

Only because of the covenants with the Father’s (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob)

of Israel will God relent from His wrath on Israel:

⁴²So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

⁴³Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

⁴⁴Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom and her daughters.

⁴⁷Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

⁴⁸As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

⁴⁹Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

⁵⁰And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

⁵¹Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

⁵²Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

⁵³When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

⁵⁴That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

⁵⁵When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

⁵⁶For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,

⁵⁷Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

⁵⁸Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.

⁵⁹For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

⁶⁰Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. (God showing His unmerited favor with His children, because of His righteousness not because of theirs)

⁶¹Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

⁶²And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:

⁶³That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth anymore because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

We are now in those days when God is working out his last covenant, first with the gentiles, a people that are no people, to cause Israel to become jealous for their Lord and God, to see a nation of gentiles now becoming God’s children, instead of Israel. Right now the door of opportunity is open to who so ever will. Anyone can receive the blessed hope of eternal salvation, and learn to become an overcomer an heir to the throne of God. To have a name that no one knows written on your stone (jewel) and receive the Morning Star, The Brightest gem of them all; Rev. ch.2-3 to become a jewel in our Lords crown of glory!

Today is the day of salvation; for we never know when or what is going to happen next; at this time in our history, we have seen more catastrophes, and lives being just wiped off the face of this planet. Homes, lives, businesses, and jobs are just gone in an instant. And I can assure you it is just going to become more and more rapid between each of these catastrophes; which are going to become larger, closer together and more ferocious with each passing day. The closer we come to the rapture of the church, the more horrible these events will become. Everything that God had the prophets write down in the Bible have come to pass and we are seeing more of the prophet’s prophesies coming to pass each day, it is just like the Johnny Cash song “It’s going by the Book”. The Lord’s word cannot and will not come back void, Isaiah55:¹¹So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

2 Cor6:¹We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (We are making an appeal to your good senses your conscience sake of your very soul, receive Jesus and spare yourself from eternity of shame and the Lake of Fire which was made before the foundations of time just for the sinners to come and share in.)

²(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured (helped, given aid to. Shown unmerited favor, by the grace of God we are saved, because He has opened our eyes to what will happen to those who reject His salvation, etc.) thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

I urge you if you have loved ones, get them and get to a house of the Lord that teaches apostolic scriptural doctrines strait out of the Bible without adding or subtracting from them and start your own Home-churches. We have one way in which to come to Jesus and that is His way. Not some way that was thought up in the dark ages when the church had lost the guiding of the Holy Ghost. We must repent, change direction in our lives, be baptized in the only name given in the Bible for the remission of sins, in Jesus name, and be baptized in the Holy Spirit, with evidences’ of speaking in tongues, and you may just get something else added in at the same time like prophesying, Rev.19:10. Acts 2:38-40, these scriptures explain all that is needed for salvation in the name above all names, in the only name that has the power of God connected to it JN.14:14. Just the mention of His name and the devils and Satan tremble, Jms.2:19!

For each of us that bring in another lost soul we will be rewarded with untold riches, and unspeakable joy to know that we have saved someone’s soul from eternity in hell’s lake of fire and the devils tormentors. We have just gained another jewel in the Lords crown, which will be added to ours as well. Lay up in heaven riches untold that will not perish. Matt.6:¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. For if we lose our life for Him we will gain it forever; Mt.10:³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. In Mt.16 we find out why; 24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁵For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁶For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mk.8:34-38 and the Gospel’s sake!

²⁷For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Mt.10:³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not his cross (these are those who do not follow all the commandments, statutes, judgments, and sayings, you know the ones who do not deny the flesh etc.), and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (These are the ones that seek out salvation on their terms, not according to scripture, they just try and do right, you know compared to the world’s standards instead of scriptural standards, you know like get baptized any old way, like in a bunch of titles instead of the name that is called out in the sentence, the sentence says to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. There is only one name that is to be used that meets those requirements, the name of Jesus.)

³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward (Better hope it’s not a false prophet’s reward too!); and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. (Seen in Mt.5:17-20!);

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

So right here and now you have to make up your mind to receive the Father, the Son, the who is Man, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, or risk going to hell for eternity. The risk is far greater not receiving Him, with disasters waiting and lurking around each and every corner. The glory and the abundances that He will pour out is beyond measure that we could never contain in our imaginations or on earth, when He starts pouring out blessing Mal.3: ¹⁰Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. This is how much He loves us, if we will come to Him we will not be able to contain Him; He will pour out of every part of our being, after we receive His spirit in us: We become His children with power to give evidences of His presence in us, that is how noticeable it is when we receive Him in His glory.

So we have to make a decision right here in front of God and all of His creation to claim Him as Lord and Savior, or give all of your God given jewels over to Satan for his bounty of the spoils. Nothing gives Satan more joy when He can get one of God’s saints, one of God’s prize possessions, His crown jewels. You think the trials of this age are bad; you wait till the Rapture comes and then the end of this age, and then when you think it can’t get any worse the end of time comes when the judgment takes place, and you get thrown into outer darkness of hopelessness and the Lake of Fire with all of the devils tormentors and the rest of your sinful so called friends of this world; you wait to see how they will be in Hell!

Where there is no right from wrong just one pile of a decrepit waste of humanity all piled on top of each other, in a never ending ball of human filth, all crying out at the same time from all the torment, what part of crying and gnashing of teeth do we not get? God in His wisdom has made all things perfect, even Satan was an Arch Angel before he stepped out of line with God. So can you imagine how bad he can make it on those God has put him over, the Father of all lies and deceit, he will be your new provider, and giver of everything you don’t need, but that I’m sure you’ll receive an abundant supply of grief, for he was intended for this very job to begin with; God knows the beginning from the end, so can you imagine just how perfect Satan is going to be at his job?

The devil is not going to put anything over on anybody but you! You see what happened when Eve listened to just one thing he said that led all of us down a road headed straight to Hell; by one little statement Gen.3:⁴And the serpent said unto the woman, “Ye shall not surely die: ⁵For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”. He is a liar then and he is a liar now and will continue to be forever. He was right though we did learn good from evil, and now we know what sin looks like; but we are far from being Gods. Until we put benevolent graciousness, that only the Spirit of Jesus Christ can give or we are lost in our sin still!

However, if you read to the end of the Book that Satan is trying to keep you from reading; His, Jesus’ Holy Bible, in it comes all of God’s words that bring life eternal. The power of God’s words are beyond our imagination, we see how this age ends and who wins in the end, let me give you a clue; God does and all the saints of God, they win a life of eternal glory and riches with Jesus Christ our God and Saviour in the immortal flesh, with all His angels waiting on us to provide for our every need; as we serve Him with Glory, Worship and Praise! Come forward and receive salvation if this sounds like where you need to be, and become a jewel instead of the “Spoils of this Holy War” that we are engaged in; we have to make up our minds to make a change (repent, go a new direction away from sin and the flesh) that will lead to righteousness, holiness, for if we don’t none will find him: For God said walk before Me and be ye perfect, God told Abraham (Gen.17:1) to walk before Him and be ye perfect and in Mt.5:48 we see Jesus saying the same thing ⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (See why in Mal.3:6 & Heb.13:8!). From front to back cover of this Bible God stays the same, we are to be a peculiar people called out separated a Holy nation, Lev.11:⁴⁴For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

⁴⁵For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. To 1 Peter1:¹⁵But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; ¹⁶Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy Jn.4:24, the Holy Spirit, the Father Lk.1:35, made flesh 1 Tm.3:16, who is Immanuel, Mt.1:23 God with us, made a way by John the Baptist in the spirit of Elijah, Mt.11:1-15 seen in Mt.17:10-13 in Is.40:3 who made a way for God! You see the word of God cannot be broken Jn.10:35, because it is forever Mt.24:35. Therefore add nothing to it and take nothing away from it either Deu.4:2 and keep it all Deu.8:3, Mt.4:4, Lk.11:28, Jn.12:45-40 and Mt.12:46-50 too!

We are to sanctify ourselves this means to set ourselves apart from this world, to keep ourselves for a service of work unto the Lord’s will. For if the righteous scarcely be saved, 1 Pt.4:¹⁷For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

¹⁸And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹⁹Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

With all this said, we are not to have the appearance of any evil either; 1 Thes.5:22, but to overcome evil with good Ro.12:1-21. That we may find ourselves perfect in the will of God

Ro.12:¹I 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.

²And 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.

With man this is impossible but by the power of His Holy Spirit in us we can easily accomplish this and more, in the name of Jesus, we can do all things LK.1:37.

We have to learn to love all with all our hearts for a child of God will have not one enemy, a child of God can overcome any enemy with love for there is no defense against it. Prov.10:¹²Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

1 Cor.13:¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.³And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. ⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; ⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; ⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ¹³And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love).

If we cannot find our way to Jesus in love we are doomed without His love in us or we have nothing! Jesus gave of Himself out of love for us and we cannot come to him in any less fashion, this is required, everything in the Bible hinges on LOVE: As a child gives, innocent, and pure! For this reason they are the greatest in the Kingdom of God! Only Jesus can teach you how to love like this, after we receive Him and His Spirit in us, then this becomes no problem if we put self out of the equation, our flesh, and all of His children first and foremost in our lives we become the first of the last, when we humble ourselves; He will raise us up as long as we serve others before ourselves. Mark10:³¹But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. John14:¹⁵If ye love me, keep my commandments. This makes a disciple of God!

We are either:

Jewels of the Crown of Glory

Or Fruits of the Spoil to Satan!

Discipleship and Learning Agape Love of Christ Jesus
by

Reverent and Servant Brother, G. L. Boyett

Written in the Last Days 5/19/2016!
Our text for today is:

Mt.28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Strong’s Concordance
agapé: love, goodwill or:
Original Word: ἀγάπη, ης, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: agapé
Phonetic Spelling: (ag-ah’-pay)
Short Definition: love
Definition: love, benevolence, good will, esteem; plur: love-feasts.

26 agápē – properly, love which centers in moral preference. So too in secular ancient Greek, Strong’s Numbering system # 26 (agápē) focuses on preference; likewise the verb form (25 /agapáō) in antiquity meant “to prefer” (TDNT, 7). In the NT, 26 (agápē) typically refers to divine love (= what God prefers).
Christ’s definition of this word is found in Jn.15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Our joy is found when we obey the lord and all His sayings to us; Every word out of His mouth, Mt.4:4; Lk.4:4 and Lk.6:46, otherwise why do we call Him our Lord and do not what He has told us to do? The unspeakable joy that belongs to the Lord is brought to us by His Grace which is His favor, when we abide in Him and His sayings! Jn.15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman (The Holy Spirit, see Jn.4:24 as Jesus explains to us who the father is! Still unsure see Jn.14:1-9 to 18 to the end of this chapter and if this fails too see Jn.3:34 and 2 Cor.5:19-21, God the Father cannot be in Jesus without measure unless the father is called the father because of His role in Creation as we see in Gen.1:1-2, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.).

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away (Has not power and will not bear fruits): and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit (They are filled with His Holy Spirit and bear His fruits and gifts of the Spirit which then can be tested and approved! See 1 Jn.4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.).

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (Unless we abide in the vine and keep all of Jesus’ sayings to us, we can remain friends with Him and share in His grace and love, His agape!) If not see Lk.6:46! You will not like seeing Him then, I can assure you!

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (This is not just metaphorically either, see Is.66:24!)

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (Here is the key to all power and gifts of the Spirit, having a pure heart and the very mind of Christ Jesus 1 Cor.2:1-16 so that you can know how to use His power and the gifts of His Spirit, see Jn.14:18 and Lk.21:14-15, this too is seen in 1 Cor.1:1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their’s and our’s:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.) Back to Jn.15: and verse;

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. (See Jn.12:35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.) ~ Only they who know who Jesus is can be His disciple because Jesus has revealed Himself to them, see Mt.11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~

Back to John’s Gospel:

Jn.15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

This kind of Love ~ AGAPE LOVE ~ Is only found when we give our lives away to bring this gospel: The Instructions to the entrance to His straight gate, Mt.7:12-14, that few will find let alone get to go through, if you do not believe me then look to scripture; see Mt.20:16 and Mt.22:14 and few that there will be! That find the way to the straight gate and stay on the narrow way, His path by His directions to us, which are all His words of eternal life Jn.6:63 & 68 if obeyed!

DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING 101

Mk.8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Only they who have learned how to purify themselves can be His Disciples: Let us go to what Jesus told us first in Jn.14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth (See Jn.1:16-17); whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (This too is seen in Lk.21:14-15!). 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.So if they have not had Jesus manifest Himself to them they are not a disciple of Jesus Christ; unless they have had Jesus reveal Himself to them as seen in Lk.10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Jesus reveals Himself to those who will die for Him and this Gospel to lead another away from the gates of Hell, for all mankind is dead in its sin and headed for Hell; unless regenerated by God’s Spirit in them, Ac.11:1-18, this is God’s own repentance towards them, by giving them His Spirit, so they then can be taught of God, as Jesus was who had God’s own Spirit in Him without measure Jn.3:34! If you are ashamed of His words to us then He is ashamed of you! It is just that simple! His words to us are Eternal Life so why would anyone be ashamed of them or Him? If they Agape Him! They will die for Him as He died for us, so do not tell me His salvation is free! It most definitely is not! If cost Jesus His Life for each and everyone of us, He was wiped with what might as well have been barbed wire, that even exposed muscles and vital organs as well: He was unrecognizable! So do not ever tell me our Salvation is free! It will cost you everything it did Jesus, even your life and soul, if you want to be with Him forevermore, we must be as He is Amos 3:3 can two walk together unless they agree? No we too have got to be OBEDIENT TO HIS EVERY WORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH: From Deu.8:3 to Mt.4:4; Lk.4:4 Lk.11:28 Jn.8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Jesus came to us from the Father of all Spirits see Heb.12:9, that is who God is as even talked about in the books of Enoch, God is the Father of all Spirits see Is.45:1 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.

9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. Just as it is revealed in Tit.2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (That is who Jesus is! Just as it was seen in 1 Tm.3:16!),

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Is that not what Jesus told us to do in Mt.16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
This too Paul told us as well in Gal.6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Will we not be known by our own fruits? Our fruits are our works people, if they do not line up with God’s Words to us guess what…We are not His people or Disciple, all we then will be is a Hypocrite! Lk.6:46! Every time anyone says casually, “Oh I’m a Christian” and turns right around and walks as the word does they blaspheme the righteous words of God and will receive just rewards for doing so! Mt.12:30-32 and 46-50 seen in 2 Pt.1:19-21 and all of 2 Tm.3:14-17 as well as 1 Pt.1:9-11 show us who wrote the Bible through Godly men of God who were carried by His Holy Spirit, I lie not! Unless our words and our actions line up with His we are not a people after his own name are we? So quite calling yourself one and only creating a greater Damnation of your Eternal Soul! Thus sayeth the Lord of all mercy and grace, that is only found through loving agape love of OBEDIENCE TO HIS EVERY SINGLE WORD, TO US! This is why we must be Born-Again of Him His way, so we can come behind not lacking in any gifts of the Spirit of Him in us! For we are to grow in His Grace and the Knowledge of Him 2 Pt.3:18, it is our commandment to us by His Ordained Apostles, Jn.15:20, that we are told to do by Jesus Himself our God with us Mt.1:23! Our Immanuel, that is who Jesus is, the One true God 1 Jn.5:20, and His name is Jesus the answer to Mt.28 and verse 19! For there is no salvation without that name given to us in baptism, which is the watery grave, where we die to self (1 Jn.2:15-17), and seek only His Heavenly ways that are only found in Jesus’ Gospel He taught in what are called the Synoptic Gospels for a reason Jesus came teaching them! The Gospels are instructions for entering into His Kingdom, for only Righteousness and Holiness will enter therein!

Serving the Lord His Way!

No Such Thing as Say It and Claim It!

Unless You Are God!

Rev. G. L. Boyett

Written in the Last Days 4/3/2016!

True Saints of God Serve Him in Word and Deed, Col.3:17!

What I would like to know is this: Are the true children of God going to sit in a church building listening to another tell them how to live and walk in the Lord? or are they going to get off their own rear ends and go do what the word of God actually tells all of us to do for Him; such as Mk.8:34-48 and here is for those too lazy to go dust off the Bible they are supposed to be reading every day drawing closer to Him so He can be closer to them, here is that scripture:

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

If you are ashamed of Him He will be ashamed of you, that is how grace works, it is Grace for Grace Jn.1:16 if we obey not His words to us we have no right to His grace! His favor, His blessing, His covenants! See how far it got King Saul when he disobeyed God and His words to him! 1 Sam.15:23-24 the same things goes for us today as well because God changes not, Mal.3:6 seen in Heb.13:8 as well! He is looking for His Children who keep all His Commandments Jn.14:15, this and everyday of our lives! That is what I preach and teach, do the word of God or perish walking in your own truths! Serving a god you have made up in your minds 1 Jn.5:21; to know the real God who still asks us to serve Him in Spirit and in Truth, Jn.1:17 Jesus’ Truths Jn.14:6 His way!

Serving the Lord His Way!

A Test of a Disciple’s Stewardship!

Rev. Brother G. L. Boyett

3/14/2016

Servants and Saints of the Lord Jesus Christ: The Lord has shown me that He has placed you right where He wants you to be. I know that sounds really difficult but hear me out…what is the greatest love that one can show for our Lord and be just like Him? It is that we give our lives in the helping of our brothers and sisters in this world. No matter who they are. We are all brothers and sisters, looking to find an eternal peace. And some will find it and others will spend a lifetime learning and never coming to the real truth. That the greatest thing we can do to be one with the Lord God is to give our own lives serving others. Some by just being witnesses to them without saying a word. By the way we dress and talk and conduct our daily lives. See Jn.15:13, which is being a true disciple of Jesus Christ, doing just what He did when He was here on earth. Living His life here for others and serving them, healing, blessing, and doing whatever they asked Him to do for them. But very few were made whole, cleansed, sanctified, and consecrated for His use 2 Tm.2:19-23 so that we too can be used as He was for others 23-26 in the same chapter. See Mk.8:34-38, by knowing the cost of discipleship, as seen in Mt.16:24-28 and the terms of discipleship seen in Lk.9:23-27 and the cost of discipleship Lk.14:25-35! ~

Are we really doing all that we can to or for our enemies who spitefully use us? Mt.5:38-to Mt.7:1-14 and few that there will be that find that narrow way, Mt.20:16 and Mt.22:14 because they do not ever find a way just to be able to hear His words to us and do them, Jn.8:51, Lk.11:28 and Jn.14:15 Mt.4:4 and Deu.8:3 God is the same yesterday today and forevermore, it is us who have to learn to be as He is; 1 Jn.2:1-6 so we can be as He is when He comes for those called by His name! And who are One with Him in Spirit (Word) and in Truth (lifestyle), your daily lifestyle and a heart that is pure and in love with every word out of His mouth, for they are truly the children of God Jn.8:47! For only they will hear His words to them and do them Col.3:17 in word and deed! That is the secret to live for Jesus Christ His way! That is why it cannot be done unless they have had a regenerated heart and mind a right mind and heart put back in them that was lost with Adam and Eve, this too can only be done Jesus’ way Jn.1:12-13 seen in Lk.24:47 and Jn.3:3-8 and done in Ac.2:37-40, seen in 1 Cor.6:11 and 1 Cor.2:1-16 and finally in 2 Cor.6:14-18 and all of the scriptures living in us 2 Tm.3:14-17, so that we too can be Perfect, and thoroughly furnished unto all GOOD WORKS see Mt.16:17!

Now go and study that and try to live it.

This cannot be done without the Grace of God that is His Holy Spirit living in you and allowed to operate, in everything we say and do! All of the time!

Hope this helps with those little life problems we think we have.
