Satan made me do it is a lie!

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Choose today who you will serve. Rule over it!

Satan can’t make no one do nothing. We each have choices to make—receive Elohim’s Love and Love Him: Obeying Him, obeying His commandments, hearing and doing His Word; or yielding to Satan, giving him and his demons control. Self is the problem, self is the issue—not no one else—Satan just seals the deal from self yielding , giving in to his temptations. Self has to die to the flesh moment by moment daily (second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour—throughout each day).

YHW will not take nothing from us that we are not first willing and committed to give up to Him and not take it back from Him.

“Now we command you, brethren, …”

HalleluYah!!! Be delivered! Be made free in the name of Yeshua! HalleluYah!!!

Hear and do the Word:

“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means.

The Lord be with you all. The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.”

Faith confronts, exposes error…

This is what Elohim’s Love and one in whom He has put His Spirit in them, in whom is His law in their mind, in whom is Elohim’s character—they do this:

“Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”

Faith prays for the oppressed, afflicted

“Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.”

Faith endures—patiently waits

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”

Faith reveals who’s one’s total dependency is

The soul that knows to do good, yet they don’t do it, it is sin. Without faith, it is impossible to please Elohim.

“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.

Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.”

Faith springs forth humility

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye 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.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace.

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?”

Faith springs forth Wisdom

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

Faith causes the tongue to speak Life not death

Is faith controlling your tongue?

“My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”

Faith is proven by works

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

Faith has no respect of persons

“My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”

Keep yourself unspotted from the world

How? By Faith. Obey the Word. The faith of Christ, obeys—Faith obeys the Word:

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But 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. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

Pure 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.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t forget to by faith be obedient in glorifying Elohim in your body. In all we eat drink and do, do all to the glory of Elohim (God). He gave us our food in the very beginning—what would bring us health, maintain health. The spiritual affects the physical and the physical affects the spiritual.

If the soul is given over to their appetite, this is an open door to devils, to Satan wreaking disease sickness illness—death physically and spiritually.

It matters to Elohim what we eat and drink; what we wear, what we put in and on these bodies including on your heads, in our hair, on our skin. It matters to God what we do with our bodies, what we put our hand to; where our feet go.

The brain houses the mind. Both are in the head of the body. The battle of good and evil is over our mind. All our choices in our daily living affects us spiritually and physically—There are only two voices from two spirits: Elohim’s voice, Elohim’spirit. Or, Satan’s voice through his devils, his spirit.

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

How to effectively pray – Part 14

Breaking down and destroying strongholds

Chapter 3 (cont’d)

8 Vital Principles (cont’d)

#4. Aggression

Because prayer is WARFARE, we must adopt a posture of spiritual aggression during intercession. This is not passive devotion; this is active, offensive combat in the spirit realm. God has given us legal authority to act against the forces of darkness in the name of Jesus Christ.

“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”Matthew 16:19

These are legal terms—binding and loosing represent real judicial transactions. We do not beg or plead as helpless victims. But we plead in humility and faith that Jesus has the power, and the desire to help the one bound by Satan and will honor his Word and free them. We exercise authority as soldiers under command, enforcing the will of Heaven upon the earth. This is especially urgent when seeking to evangelize and win the Lost. We are not walking into a peaceful mission; we are storming enemy territory.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:18–20

Christ, our Captain, has already secured victory. But He sends us into occupied territory to enforce that victory. Every soul rescued from Satan’s grip is a direct act of war. Therefore, aggressive prayer is not an option—it is a necessity as Satan will not release his captives without a fight. But we are not left without weapons:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. 2Corinthians 10:4

To pray aggressively means to pray with commanding faith, rooted in the Word, under the blood, and filled with the Spirit. It means binding spirits, understanding and breaking strongholds, and declaring the Word of God with authority. This kind of intercession terrifies the enemy. That is why he works so hard to make Christians timid in prayer. He wants the Church to be silent—because when we pray in faith and humble, holy boldness, he is driven back.

We must remember: Heaven stands behind the prayers of God’s people. The angelic host moves at the voice of God’s Word, Psalm 103:20, and the Spirit empowers us with divine boldness.

Now is the time to pray aggressively—not in our strength, but in the authority of Jesus Christ, armed with His promises, and confident in His power to save. All power is given to us through Christ. We do not need to despair—keep praying!

“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4. When we are battle ready in God’s armor, we fight by praying Ephesians 6:10–18.

God has empowered His church to aggressively assault and conquer the “gates of hell.‖ When the strong man is fully armed, Satan holds his captives tight Luke 11:21–22, but we must not relent. The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God, not weak or fleshly 2 Corinthians 10:4. This is why we fight by praying Ephesians 6:10–18.

Jesus said it this way: “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12.

We are promised through the pen of Inspiration: 8T 251.1

“The time has come for a thorough reformation to take place. When this reformation begins, the spirit of prayer will actuate every believer and will banish from the church the spirit of discord and strife. Those who have not been living in Christian fellowship will draw close to one another. One member working in right lines will lead other members to unite with him in making intercession for the revelation of the Holy Spirit. There will be no confusion, because all will be in harmony with the mind of the Spirit. Matthew 6:10,

What is the mind of the Spirit? That no one should perish, but that all might come to REPENTANCE.

This “Spirit of Prayer is not a routine prayer meeting. It is deep, heartfelt intercession—marked by BROKENNESS, TRAVAIL, and PERSISTENCE—while actively PLEADING the Word of God. Just as Moses interceded for Israel Exodus 32, Abraham for Sodom Genesis 18, and Hezekiah for Judah 2 Kings 19, we are called to stand in the gap for the Lost. Pleading with God puts us as the created being that is looking to the Creator and Sustainer for help outside of ourselves. Pleading the promises of God lifts our eyes off of self and towards the Saviour. It is part of His divine plan to save both us and those that we pray for.

Next we shall look at the legal tool box for answered prayers!

How to effectively pray – Part 13

Breaking down and destroying strongholds

Chapter 3 (cont’d)

8 Vital Principles (cont’d)

#3. Persistence

Persistence in prayer is the third essential element in spiritual warfare. The lost are described in Scripture as prisoners of war—captives held in Satan’s domain. Isaiah 14:17 makes this reality plain:“ That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners.” These captives will not be released easily. We are in a war, and it is only through unrelenting prayer that we can recover these souls.

The Word of God reveals their bondage clearly:

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God,

that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Acts 26:18

This is a legal transfer of ownership—a soul must be pulled out of Satan’s kingdom and placed into the kingdom of God. But Satan does not surrender captives willingly. Remember that Jesus Himself warned of the strength of this bondage: “No man can enter into a strongman’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. Mark 3:27

If the “strong man‖ (Satan) is not bound through persistent, fervent intercession, there can be no release. The souls remain locked under his dominion. Jesus also revealed the spiritual strategy needed to break these chains:

Mark 9:28–29 “And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

Some demonic strongholds will not break by casual prayer. Fasting, persistence and a believing intercession are required. This is why Persistent Prayer is vital—not because God is reluctant to save, but because Satan is determined to keep what he has stolen.

We are waging war on the frontlines of hell’s domain.

Satan knows that every soul lost to God is a soul that escapes eternal punishment. He will resist every attempt to win them back as he does not want to burn for them! That’s why entire nations and cultures remain in spiritual darkness. Satan fortifies his control through idolatry, witchcraft, false religion, and sorcery. But like Paul in Ephesus, we must not give up.

Paul didn’t flee Ephesus. He stayed, fought, prayed and he persisted until Satan’s grip broke and the city was shaken. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.‖ Acts 19:17–20

When persistent intercession meets a broken heart and unwavering faith, the devil loses ground—and Jesus gains souls.

Know Love, Excellence, Lovingkindness

Know Love, Excellence, Lovingkindness. Turn away from evil (sin, disobedience to Elohim’s law, wickedness , etc.).

Call upon Elohim in the name of Jesus—He Who only can and will deliver the soul who is daily surrendered to His will—dying daily, taking up one’s own cross and following Christ. He is in the Holiest of Holies. Are you there with Him today, each day He awakens you? Go to Him.

“O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.”

“The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, That there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.”

There is distinct differences

Daily choose what or which you will be: whose you will be.

“The desire of the righteous is only good: But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬

“He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: But a false witness deceit. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: But the tongue of the wise is health.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: But a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: But to the counsellors of peace is joy.

There shall no evil happen to the just: But the wicked shall be filled with mischief. Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: But they that deal truly are his delight.

A prudent man concealeth knowledge: But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: But the slothful shall be under tribute.

The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor: But the way of the wicked seduceth them.

In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬-‭24‬, ‭26‬, ‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

The light of the righteous rejoiceth: But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favour: But the way of transgressors is hard.

A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: But a faithful ambassador is health.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: But it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Evil pursueth sinners: But to the righteous good shall be repaid.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: But the belly of the wicked shall want.”

Know this! Beware

“A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing. For she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, To call passengers Who go right on their ways: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; And that her guests are in the depths of hell.”

Be confident, and of good courage

Know! Not think.

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, They stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up, Above mine enemies round about me: Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Only the faithful and converted

This runs deep and broad.

“submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that 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.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.”

How to effectively pray – Part 12

Breaking down and destroying strongholds.

Chapter 3 Cont’d

8 Vital principles

Yet, there are eight other vital principles that further empower prayer for the salvation of souls:

#1. Brokenness

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.‖ Psalm 126:5

Brokenness is the first law of spiritual harvest. True intercessory prayer begins with a heart that feels the weight of eternal souls. God cannot bless prayers motivated by self-interest or pride. But when we pray with tears for Lost souls—like Christ who wept over Jerusalem—then we sow into a harvest guaranteed by God’s promise.

“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:6

#2. Travail

Just as no child is born without labor, no sinner is born again without spiritual travail. Isaiah described this viv-

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

Who 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. Isaiah 66:7–10

Spiritual rebirth demands laboring in prayer. God responds to the cry of Zion, His people, when they rise up in intercession with holy urgency. As God Himself says: “Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?… Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her. Isaiah 66:7-10

Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines Travail as: “Labor with pain; severe toil. To labor with pain; to toil.

) חול – Strong’s Concordance – H2342 (chuwl/chiyl A primitive root; properly to twist or whirl … to writhe in pain (especially of childbirth), or fear; figuratively to wait, to pervert—bear, bring forth, grieve, hope, make, sorrow, travail, tremble, be wounded. We must allow our hearts to be wounded for the salvation of others—just as Jesus’ heart was. Luke 22:44 “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Yes, so much in agony that he sweat until blood came from his pores. This is the soul-travail that breaks open heaven’s gates and unlocks hardened hearts. Sadly, very few have ever agonized this deeply in prayer for the salvation of another soul. Yet this is precisely what Jesus did. He travailed for us. He bled in prayer. He bore the weight of the Lost before they even asked for it. Christ described salvation as being “Born Again—a spiritual birth requiring the same kind of pain and intensity a mother experiences in physical birth. The apostle Paul echoed this when he said: “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. Galatians 4:19

Like a father observing the labor pains of his wife, many Christians today fail to comprehend the cost required to bring a soul to new life. Most professing believers have never travailed for the lost—indeed, statistics suggest that 97% never lead even one soul to Jesus. This is a tragic reality. But it also reveals the crisis of comfortable Christianity. There is a price to pay for souls—and that price is brokenness, earnest intercession, and time spent in warfare prayer. Our tears. Our labor. Our spiritual agony.

These are the tools heaven uses to break chains and bring the new birth unto eternal life.

The seventh-day (Sabbath) of Elohim

Thirty-five reasons Why I keep the Sabbath

8. Because the Sabbath is God’s flag.

God has a Flag: I (God) will set up My ensign, Isa. 49:22 R.V.

“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

A Flag is a sign:

“They set up their ensigns for signs” Ps. 74:4

God’s sign is His Sabbath:

“I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a SIGN.” Exe. 20:12, 20

“It [my Sabbath] is a SIGN.” Ex. 31:13

“It [my Sabbath] is a SIGN….forever.” Ex. 31:17

Since God has a flag . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Isa. 49:22 R.V.

And a flag is a sign . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ps. 74:4

And God’s sign is His Sabbath . . . . . Eze. 20:12, 20

Therefore God’s FLAG IS HIS SABBATH….Things equal to the same things are equal to each other.

God took of the fabric of time and made Himself an ensign for eternity. He made a unit of time by the rolling of a globe, and He called that unit day. He took a handful of days, seven, and made them a week. And of that week He took the last day, the seventh, and made it the Sabbath. That Sabbath is His sign, His emblem, His FLAG.

A flag is more than a mere piece of cloth. It is a special piece of cloth consecrated to the definite purpose of signifying all that a government is and has. So is the Sabbath. It is more than merely a day. It is a special day. Like the cloth in a flag it is a piece of time that has a special significance, being consecrated by God Himself to represent the government of God with all its power, purpose, and privilege. The Sabbath, therefore, is as different from any other day as the flag is different from any piece of cloth.

Since the Sabbath is the flag of God’s Kingdom and I am a subject of God’s Kingdom, I want to see the HOME FLAG flutter because it speaks of the homeland. Just as Old Glory has gathered people out of all nations to America and it is a sign of America, so God’s flag reminds us that we are strangers and pilgrims in a foreign land (Heb. 11:13), that our home is far away upon a golden strand.

The Sabbath is God’s flag all the way from Paradise Lost toParadise Regained and under it will finally rally the faithful who will be gathered from earth’s remotest bounds. Isa. 11:12

Since no flag could take the place of Old Glory to the true American; so no other day could take the place of God’s seventh-day Sabbath to the true Christian. Any flag won’t do; neither will any day do. It is nothing short of high treason to disrespect God’s flag. Men have too long scuffed God’s Old Glory under their feet. It is high time to rally round the flag of God and let it wave as our standard forever. At any cost, we must be as loyal to and true to God’s flag as Barbara Frietchie was to the Stars and Stripes when she stated; “Shoot, if you must, this old gray head But spare your country’s flag, she said.”

CHAPTER 3

PERSONAL MOTIVATING FACTORS

There are two essential elements involved in every answered prayer: Righteousness and Faith. We have heard much in the last 40+ years about righteousness by faith, until one‘s head can feel like a bumble bees nest with all the confusion such emphasis has brought. But put very simply: Righteousness by faith means Doing Right through Faith that Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of God, has ALL POWER in heaven and earth to KEEP us FROM FALLING and to present us FAULTLESS before the presence of his Father‘s glory. The imputed righteousness

of Christ—that is, justification received through repentance—is granted to the believer by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. His righteousness cleanses us from all sin and gives us holy, humble ―boldness to come before the throne of grace. Hebrews 4:16. It is absolutely essential for prevailing prayer. However, personal holiness also plays a

crucial role. As Psalm 66:18 declares:“ If I regard iniquity

in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

Jesus further confirmed this principle in John 15:7:

“ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7.

In other words—Christians living in OBEDIENCE to all of God‘s Commandments get their prayers answered. Do

NOT expect to be able to pray for the salvation of a loved

one, then get up off your knees and go steal time from

your boss or look at porn while committing fornication, &

etc…Your prayers will NOT be heard!! Satan will accuse you before the Father, and he will have to say.―Objection sustained!

The second indispensable factor in answered prayer is faith. Faith operates as an unbreakable law in the spiritual realm. Jesus said: “ According to your faith be it unto you. Matthew 9:29. If you pray for someone, yet in the back of your mind you are thinking–he/she has been in rebellion for 25 years! I really cannot see how they are going to turn around now. Unbelief is a continual threat to effective prayer. It hinders the flow of God’s answers and is often the hidden cause of spiritual stagnation. To effectively pray for the Lost, we must walk in both imputed righteousness (justification through Christ) and imparted righteousness (sanctification through obedience to all of God’s commands), as well as sincere faith that trusts God hears and answers.

Scripture confirms that God desires all to be saved: “The Lord is… not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

The seventh-day (Sabbath) of Elohim

Thirty-five reasons Why I keep the Sabbath

6. Because the seventh day Sabbath is the LORDS DAY.

All through the Bible we are repeatedly told that the Lord has a definite and special day. The Lord’s regard for the Lord’s day is stressed in terms of possession. For example, as I would say of my hat: “Correia’s hat of Correia, or my hat;” so the Lord shows His possessions of His day by calling it: “The Lord’s day, day of the Lord, or My day.” Notice the following texts:

“The Lord’s day.” Rev. 1:10.

“Lord even of the Sabbath day.” Matt. 12:8.

“Lord also of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5.

“My holy day.” Is.58:13; Neh. 9:14; Ex. 31:15; Lev. 19:3, 30.

“The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord.” Ex. 20:10.

“The seventh day. . .is the Sabbath of the Lord.” Deut.5:14, Lev. 23:3.

Who can doubt the plain statement of the Holy Bible when it gives all there Scriptural witnesses to testify that the seventh day Sabbath is the Lord’s day?

7. Because the Sabbath is the SIGN between God and His people forever.

As every article has its particular brand or trade-mark to establish its genuineness, as every policeman has a badge to vindicate his authority, as every official has his seal to ascertain his identification and power, so God has a visible mark or sign between Him and His people that forever distinguishes them. TheBible Plainly states what this sign is: “I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them.” Eze. 20:12

“Hallow my SABBATHS; and they shall be a SIGN between Me and you.” Eze. 20:20

“My SABBATHS ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you.” Ex. 31:13

“It is a SIGN between Me and the children of Israel FOREVER.” Ex. 31:17

8. Because the Sabbath is God’s flag.

God has a Flag:

I (God) will set up My ensign, Isa. 49:22 R.V.

“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.”

“Why go ye about to kill me?”

Many professors of Elohim knew Yeshuah was the true Christ yet they sought to kill Him—Why? They that were His brethren turned away from Him. As it was then, it was of the men of old, and is the same now today.

They who profess are not really true and faithful—professed believers are truly unbelievers—they are not truly delivered. They have been baptized and think they are saved—but! They still hear and obey the voice of devils and not the voice of Elohim.

Look at even though they who were suppose to be His brethren sought to kill Him; Yet, Christ sighed and cried, He sought to save not destroy—He died for every soul in the world. Yet, there is an end that comes. He did separate Himself from they who would not receive Him, receive the Father’s Word, Truth (truths). Separation must take place at some point if no change in the mental, physical, spiritual state of mind of the soul.

Separation has to come. Forgiveness is not reconciliation. Reconciliation can only come if there is true change—true repentance and true conversion.

Elohim’s true people have the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit. His true and faithful have His righteous judgment. We have His discernment. We have His Love (Agape). We have His knowledge, His wisdom having His understanding. We sigh and cry for the lost. We weep seeing all the abominations. We don’t seek to destroy but that the lost come to be to saved—we must be delivered first that we can do what Elohim has commissioned, commanded us to do.

“After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him.

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? So there was a division among the people because of him. And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. And every man went unto his own house.”
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭53‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Read, study Mark 4.

They of Christ own sought to kill Him. So it is of us today. If you don’t believe it, you are already deceived. Will you be able to choose Elohim and separate from loved-ones to stand with Him loving Him supremely? Will you stand on Christ side and stand firm for Him being His witness, or will you bend, compromise, fall? Answer Elohim as He reveals to you, you.

“And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He 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. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.”

How to effectively pray – Part 10

Breaking down and destroying strongholds.

Biblical examples cont’d:

3. To supplicate with earnestness (Cont’d). Example 3:

The Third Example we shall notice is Abraham:

Gen 20:17,18 ―So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.

Abraham also Interceded for Sodom: Gen 18:22-33 ―And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

The Fourth Example: We shall look at is that of the Apostle Paul: Romans 10:1―My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved was his compassionate confession.

And the list goes on with many of the patriarchs and prophets interceding for others throughout the scriptures.

The last and greatest example: We will mention is that of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Prophecy in Isaiah 53 says that Christ “Made Intercession for the Transgressors.”

This Prophecy was partially fulfilled when on the cross he prayed:

“Father, Forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

And is continuing to be fulfilled:

Heb 7:25 “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

Being members of God’s “holy Priesthood” 1 Peter 2:5, makes us responsible for others because priests represent earth to heaven. Our primary task is to bring before our Great High Priest who “Ever Liveth to Make Intercession the names of those bound by the evil one. As Aaron did when he took the censor and ran among the dying in the camp to halt the plague of death caused by Israel’s sin. See- Numbers 16.

If you are not rising early every day before the pressures of the day hit, to die to self in prayer, pleading God’s promises for the deliverance of souls bound by Satan, then you are surrendering ground to the enemy and forsaking your priestly duty before God. Intercession is not optional, for the strong few out there somewhere—it’s the line drawn through the middle of the battle field showing who is in the Christian Warfare and who is just pretending to serve God. 3T 322.3

“Christ sought for men wherever He could find them—in the public streets, in private houses, in the synagogues, by the seaside. He toiled all day, preaching to the multitude and healing the sick that were brought to Him; and frequently, after He had dismissed the people that they might return to their homes to rest and sleep, He spent the entire night in prayer, to come forth and renew His labors in the morning. O brother and sister, you do not know anything in reality of self-denial and self-sacrifice for Christ and for the truth’ s sake. You must depend more fully upon God and less upon your own abilities. You need to hide in God. 3T 322.3

My prayer is that you will allow these powerful Biblical reasons to inspire you to pray more earnestly for the Lost as never before! The end is very near! We have not a moment to loose.

Repent, be converted and be healed

“Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”

“Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”

“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The last, final test of true Love (Agape) – Part 1

The seventh day Sabbath of Eloheem

Thirty-five reasons Why I keep the Sabbath

1. I keep the Bible Sabbath because God Himself kept the Bible Sabbath.

God made a sufficient proof of His regard for the true Sabbath by resting the very first seventh day that ever came to this earth.

Since:

God rested on the seventh day. Gen. 2:2. God rested on the seventh day. Ex. 31:17. God rested the seventh day. Ex. 20:11. God did rest the seventh day. Heb. 4:4.

Whereas:

The seventh day is the Sabbath. Ex. 20:10.

The seventh day is the Sabbath. Lev. 23:3.

The seventh day is the Sabbath. Deut. 5:14.

The seventh (day) is the Sabbath. Ex. 31:15.

The seventh, which is the Sabbath. Ex. 16:26.

Therefore:

It is as plain as day the Bible teaches that God himself kept the seventh-day Sabbath.

My first reason for keeping the Bible Sabbath is sufficient in itself to settle the whole question now and forevermore, God Himself kept the seventh-day Sabbath. That is conclusive evidence to substantiate and vindicate my keeping, your keeping, or any one else’s keeping of the seventh-day Sabbath; for who could be wrong or even be accused of doing wrong when he follows the example of God Himself in keeping the very Sabbath day which God kept.

2. Because God instituted it at creation for man to keep.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Gen. 2:1-3.

“For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD BLESSED the Sabbath day, and HALLOWED it.” Ex. 20:11.

God BLESSED the seventh day. Gen.2:1-3.

The Lord BLESSED the Sabbath day. Ex. 20:11.

God SANCTIFIED the seventh day. Gen. 2:1-3.

The Lord HALLOWED the Sabbath day. Ex.20:11

Please notice that God BLESSED and SANCTIFIED the seventh-day Sabbath at the end of creation. The blessing and sanctification show it was instituted at that time for man to keep.

“God BLESSED the seventh day.”Gen.2:1-3. God has said:

“I change not” (Mal.3:6.), and in Him there “is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17. Consequently when God BLESSES anything, the blessing cannot be “REVERESED” (Num. 23:20), because when God BLESSED anything, it “shall be BLESSED FOREVER.” 1Chron. 17:27.

“God SANCTIFIED the seventh day.” Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8

11. According to Webster’s dictionary “sanctify” means “to set apart to holy use.” The Bible states: “God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: BECAUSE that in it He HAD rested” (showing the day had already past before He blessed and sanctified it;) therefore He blessed and sanctified the seventh days then future, answering to the seventh day which had just past on which He HAD rested.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates the fact that God Himself has attached the utmost importance to the seventh-day Sabbath by His personal blessing and sanctification, thereby definitely fixing the seventh day for all time as the only and true Sabbath.

God is the giver of rest, for He says to all, “Come unto me … and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:28; Ex. 33:14. God knows which is the right day on which to rest, and He has given man the seventh-day Sabbath as a day of rest:

“The seventh day thou shalt rest.” Ex. 23:12.

“The seventh day thou shalt rest.” Ex.34:21.

“The seventh [day] is the Sabbath of rest.” Ex. 31:15.

“The seventh day is the Sabbath of rest.” Lev.23:3. God appointed the seventh day as a Sabbath to be the day of rest from secular work, because that in it He Himself had rested, not from weariness or fatigue Isa. 40:28. But He rested on that day as an example for all humanity. God’s rest on the seventh day is the reason that man should do as God had done. Notice the following texts which prove that God rested on the seventh day:

God rested on the seventh day. Gen. 2:2. God rested on the seventh day. Ex. 31:17. God rested the seventh day. Ex. 20:11. God did rest the seventh day. Heb. 4:4.

No wonder in the New Testament after the cross the followers of Christ “RESTED the Sabbath day according to the commandment.” Luke. 23:56. No wonder the book of Hebrews in the New Testament positively states “There remaineth therefore a REST (keeping the Sabbath) to the people of God…. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Heb. 4:9, 11.

So we can see that the seventh-day Sabbath is not manmade but God-made. It is not only the oldest institution but also the first institution which God gave to man, it being older and as significant as the marriage institution. Since the setting apart of the seventh day as the Sabbath day was coincident with the ORIGIN of man, the observance of that seventh day as the Sabbath is to be coexistent and coextensive with the DURATION of man.

3. Because the Sabbath was made for man (mankind). Jesus said: “The Sabbath was made for man,” Mark 2:27. Man in this text means human being, mankind.” (Cf. Webster) Matt.4:4; John 1:9.

The Bible does NOT say: “The Sabbath was made for the JEWS.” But it does say: “The Sabbath was made for man.” Mark 2:27. It also says: The woman was made for the man. 1Cor.11:9.

How could the Sabbath be made for the Jew only when it was instituted at Creation (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11) 2,500 years before a Jew existed? This was after the time of Judah, because a Jew is “a descendant of Judah,” according to Young’s Concordance.

Breaking down and destroying strongholds.

The Legal/Biblical Foundation of Intercessory Prayer for the Lost

Why Else should we Pray for the Lost? Because we Have Been Given Christ’s Ministry.

We are not just encouraged to pray — we are commanded to do so, because we carry the same ministry Jesus did:

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.‖1 Timothy 2:4–5.

When we intercede in the Name of ―JESUS we are acknowledging our Lord and Saviour as THE ONE and ONLY ADVOCATE before the Throne of God and are pleading for his aid in behalf of the name of the Lost one we bring before him. As His witness on earth, we continue His ministry of mediation. We plead for the lost not because we are better, but because we know the danger they are in and the authority we carry through our connection with Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

“Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.‖James 5:19–20.

The strong reasons are always Bible-based, and there are many such reasons concerning prayer for the Lost. One of the greatest reasons for praying for the Lost is our love for them. Praying for the Lost has been described as ―Love on its knees. It was God‘s love for mankind that brought Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God, -God‘s most precious possession – to the cross to give his life a ransom for the Lost. Our love for God and our love for man will lead us to the place of intercession.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

A Mother‘s love that leads to a life of Intercessory prayer for her wayward child, was often the result of bringing Lost souls to the foot of the cross. Only eternity will reveal the incredible number of souls that have been saved through the tears and prayers of a mother’s love. Love is indeed our greatest reason for pleading for the souls of the Lost. Isa 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

4SP 445.2―Will the Lord forget his people in this trying hour? Did he forget faithful Noah when judgments were visited upon the antediluvian world? Did he forget Lot when the fire came down from heaven to consume the cities of the plain? Did he forget Joseph surrounded by idolaters in Egypt? Did he forget Elijah when the oath of Jezebel threatened him with the fate of the Baal prophets? Did he forget Jeremiah in the dark and dismal pit of his prison-house? Did he forget the three worthies in the fiery furnace? or Daniel in the den of lions? Christ cannot forsake those who are as the apple of his eye, the purchase of his precious blood.” 4SP 445.2

We Must Learn to Pray Effectively

Most Christians haven’t been taught how to wage war in prayer. And if we don’t understand importunate, relentless, Spirit-led intercession, we’ll quickly become discouraged and give up.

“Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

We must not give up. Souls are too precious in God’s sight.

No Christian is Exempt

Not one believer has the option to sit this out. If you have been converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and claim to be his true follower, you are called to intercede.

Jesus said: “All things are possible to him that believeth.

Mark 9:23 You are the one God is waiting to use. Every believer is to stand between the living and the dead. As

Aaron did– see Numbers 16:48 and plead for souls as they imitate their Saviour who ―Ever liveth to make intercession Hebrews 7:25.

Pre-requisite for Eternal Life.

There is a great work to be done in the earth, and the Lord Jesus has taken men into co-partnership with himself, in order that heavenly agencies may cooperate with human agencies. Christ was in travail of soul for the redemption of the world, and those who are laborers together with God are representatives of Christ to our world, and will have compassion for the lost, and will travail in soul for the redemption of men.

Unless the church awakes and attends to her post of duty, God will charge the loss of souls to her account. SpTA03 30.3

Upon whom will the seal of God be placed?

The day of God’s vengeance is just upon us.

The seal of God will be placed upon the foreheads of those only who sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land. Those who link in sympathy with the world are eating and drinking with the drunken and will surely be destroyed with the workers of iniquity. “ The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.‖ 5T 212

Saved by grace is not a disconnection from obedience

Being saved by grace is not a disconnection from obedience to God, to God’s Ten Commandment law.m, to His Word. God is Love. His Ten Commandment law is based upon God’s Love—a written transcript of His Love, of His character. Keeping (obeying) His Ten Commandments is living His Love.

Deceived souls are blinded by Satan, listening to, obeying his voice, his devils. We are saved by grace through faith. Faith produces works=obedience. God says we are to be hearers and doers of His Word. If we be hearers only we deceive ourselves. Faith and obedience cannot be separated. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Without faith, the soul has no grace from God.

Being under the law is being in bondage to sin. The soul under the law is a slave to sin, to Satan—and is Satan’s child. When we have surrendered wholly of self, self-will to God and we do surrender to God daily, and we are converted; we have been baptized having died with Christ, the old man is dead in the grave; and we resurrect with Christ a new creature—the old is passed away, all things about us is new, a new creature. We are no longer slaves to sin, Satan. Being taught by God through the Holy Spirit, repenting, being converted prior to baptism—that’s the ideal, that’s the way truly of God. But, in His mercy and long suffering toward us, He labors with us long—for many, including myself, conversion comes long after baptism and we are re-baptized.

Many try to avoid obedience. They call obedience being legalistic, fanatical. They try to take a different route listening to the voices of devils speak lies in their minds. So, they believe them and are blind and deceived. They really believe they need not obey God and just “believe”being deceived having no true understanding of what believing truly involves, is.

Loving God, first one must receive His love to love Him, to love self and love others as one loves self. The unconverted do not know God. The unconverted cannot tell no one what loving God looks like or what it is. The unconverted, the soul in sin, the world cannot define, cannot tell God’s true children, God’s converted children what being a Christian, what being a follower of Christ is or looks like in the life.

It is written:

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore 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. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither 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. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know 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?

But 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. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

I 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. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The Lost Are Satan’s Prisoners of War

In this ―New Age religion of Unconditional Love, the fact that we are in a warzone has been totally discarded by the Christian world. This has given Satan full advantage to take over the souls of men and women professing to be Christians. This is no trivial matter. The lost are not simply misguided—they are captives held in bondage by a fallen prince who once held the highest position of covering cherub at the throne of God in heaven.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!…That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? Isaiah 14:12,17

Satan Has Blinded Their Minds Through Lies and Deception

As we learned from RH Dec. 12, 1899 Satan rules the mind and affections by his spirit.

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2Cor. 4:3–4

Satan does not merely distract; he actively works to blind the minds of the lost so that they cannot comprehend the truth. This blindness is not natural—it is supernatural.

It is spiritual warfare. And the unregenerate man is unable to grasp the things of God without divine intervention.

The mind that is blind to the gospel cannot be reasoned into salvation. A child may grow up hearing sermons andgospel songs, yet never grasp that Christ died personally for them. Without someone interceding, that soul remains imprisoned in spiritual darkness, unable to recognize their sin or their desperate need of the Saviour.

The fountain of Christ’s blood does not cleanse until the heart sees its need. But only the Spirit of God can openblinded eyes. Until that power is loosed through intercession, they remain bound.

Evangelizing without prayer is like urging a blind man to admire the sunset. He has no power to respond, no ability to see. The gospel becomes “foolishness to him.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14

Unless someone prays earnestly (with Tears) and with Authority for the Spirit of God to remove the demonic veil, the soul remains unreachable. There is no salvation without revelation. And there is no revelation until someone intercedes.

The Lost Are the Strong Man’s House

Jesus exposed the spiritual reality: Mark 3:27 “ No man can enter into a strong man’ s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. The “Strong man is Satan. His “goods” are the souls of men. Prayer binds him legally, enabling the Gospel to penetrate the heart with power and liberty.

In R.H. Dec 12, 1899 Art. A par. 1 we read: “By a parable Christ seeks to make known the subtlety and deceptive working of Satan, who holds the bodies and minds of men by his power. “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace,” Christ says, “his goods are in peace: but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.”

Those who know not God, and Jesus Christ, whom he has sent, are under the rule of the enemy, in bondage to his will. He rules the mind and affections by his spirit. But Christ came into the world to dispute the claims of the enemy, and Satan was made to understand the meaning of the promise given in Eden: “I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

A stronger than the strong man armed was on the field of battle, one who could dispossess him of his weapons and limit his power. {RH, December 12,1899 par. 1}

Chapter 1

Understanding the Necessity of Praying for the Lost.

In today’s fast-paced world, many professing Christians are merely surviving spiritually. Tragically, few understand the warfare we are all involved in, the battle between Good and Evil for the mind and heart of each living soul, and the deep need of the ministry of intercessory prayer—especially on behalf of the lost. Prayer is not optional; it is God’s legal strategy to bring salvation into a soul bound by Satan’s authority.

It is not enough to merely believe in God or attend church. If a person claims to follow Christ, yet has no burden to pray for the lost, especially for their own family, this is a grave spiritual indicator—and is a sign that their own heart has never been fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Why Pray?

Because the Word of God makes it unmistakably clear: The lost will not, and cannot, be saved unless someone prays for them. Salvation is not automatic—it is a legal process enforced by prayer.

John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

1 John 3:10 “ In 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.

The Bible does not soften the truth. Those who are unconverted are not just neutral—they are under the dominion of Satan and legally belong to him until they are delivered through prayer and the preaching of the Gospel.

The Lost Are Under the Authority of Satan!

Acts 26:18 “ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Every soul outside of Christ is blind, bound, and held hostage. Only intercession breaks the legal grip of darkness and opens their eyes to the light.

Follow Truth, have the Light of life—or die

This dialogue reveals Truth—Jesus speaks truth. He seeks to make free every soul whose will is to be made free. When one’s will is to be made free, Jesus has spoken, it shall be done. The soul will not choose sin, walk in darkness—but they will choose to follow Him: The Way, the Truth, the Light. But they who do not know Him, and His Father; they who do not receive His Word; they who do not follow Him; they who do not continue in His Word: These shall die in their sins. Will you be made free, or not?

Hear Jesus Christ, be reproved—convicted of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. Make your final choices: Will you follow Jesus and be made free, or not?

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father?

Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I 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.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou?

And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father.

Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.”

Warning! Hear the holy prophets

“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”

Bear witness: Life Eternal

“God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;”

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.”

Know the way, life of the priest and the prophet

Be not deceived

“The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; according to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

Put off evil, presumption —live obedience,

Put on Eloheem’s character

“Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people.

So thou shalt put the evil away from among you. If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; and thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment: and thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: according to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.”

The innocent are free, the guilty reap their sowing

“When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses; thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.

And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; as when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; if thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: that innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”

The Lamp, Light keeps us from disobedience

Be not deceived.

Surrender to the will of YHW and be kept from false doctrine, from being drunken, from evil, from the strange woman—Be kept from disobedience hating the Lord.

“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Put on the whole armor of God, don’t sit to eat with her, don’t let her under your roof, don’t even go in her path nor pass her house nor down her street. Be not deceived.

“For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil: But her end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a twoedged sword.

Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, Her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, And depart not from the words of my mouth.

Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house: Lest thou give thine honour unto others, And thy years unto the cruel: Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; And thy labours be in the house of a stranger; And thou mourn at the last, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed, And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

I was almost in all evil In the midst of the congregation and assembly. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, And rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, And not strangers’ with thee.

Let thy fountain be blessed: And rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a stranger?

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”

Let us run with patience

“Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

The race we run in Christ with patience is a race that results in us being re-created, born again. We are chastened of Eloheem enduring unto the end. We are victorious in Jesus. We are no longer bastards—But, we are now sons and daughters of God. We are in subjection to God moment by moment.

The Saints of Eloheem, His righteous children are obedient because we have His salvation. We are no longer in bondage to sin. We are made free! We receive His salvation with thanksgiving. We hold on to Christ, our freedom. We are created anew and we are sanctified by God. We walk and talk like Him. The righteousness we have and live is Christ in us, it is not our own but His—His mind is in us through His Holy Spirit dwelling in us. And so, We run the race with patience having the faith of Jesus.

“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Chosen, peculiar—We have a special purpose

Keep in mind, the beginning—creation, and the previous Word prior to this. We must know Eloheem, and know His purpose for us. And choose His way, walk in it. He does not contradict Himself.

Eloheem’s chosen, peculiar holy people are to live out His purpose for us. We are to live before all the nations in the earth His purpose—being His witnesses that He is The One True Eloheem.

Provisions were made in the process of saving us—because many chose not to live according to the will of Eloheem. He lays out how they may live in their eating, drinking, etcetera. The Lord seeks to save souls bringing them back to His original plan for us—that we live holy, have life and live eternally and not die, not die the second death. We are made new creatures. We do not remain as we were if the Spirit of Eloheem is in us. We were created in the image of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. There is no sin, no unrighteousness in Eloheem.

“Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, the hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. Of all clean birds ye shall eat. But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, and every raven after his kind, and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, and the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. But of all clean fowls ye may eat. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, and the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: and the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.”

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers; when thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.”

Obey or give in to the lust of the flesh…

Every choice has a consequence. Eloheem will not overrule one’s own will.

“These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place. Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: and thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: and there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you. But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety; then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD: and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: but in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: but thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth. When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose: and thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God. When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land; take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, and his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day; and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place; and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: but your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: but the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: a land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; and then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.”

Daily Obedience: Faith thought and spoken

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, and his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day; and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place; and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: but your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: but the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: a land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; and then the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be your’s: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.”

What is required?

“Fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes”

“At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead. From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day. Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee. And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.

And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of Lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: he doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.”

Disobedience does not pay off!

“Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak! Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD. Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: and the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you. And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you.

But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount. And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice. Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.”

If you forget, you will die…

Beware, be careful not to forget Eloheem—don’t forget to keep His commandments, His statues, His judgments. If you choose to stay connected to the Vine, He will keep you.

“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.”

Will you choose to obey or, no?

Eloheem keeps covenant with they who obey Him. They who disobey Him, he will repay him to his face. He keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations

“When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: but because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.”

For our good, always

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; (for the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: and the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.”

Submit, and do: Love and Live

“And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.

The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying, I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Neither shalt thou commit adultery. Neither shalt thou steal. Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; and ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it. And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.

O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.”

Arise early, give Him praise

“O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

For thy mercy is great above the heavens: And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: And thy glory above all the earth; That thy beloved may be delivered: Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; Over Edom will I cast out my shoe; Over Philistia will I triumph.

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom? Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

Give us help from trouble: For vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; (which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;) all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites. And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day. And I gave Gilead unto Machir. And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; the plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.

And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war. But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.

And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest. Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.”

Have you taken on your wilderness journey?

“Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. And the LORD spake unto me, saying, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.

Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them. For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, that the LORD spake unto me, saying, Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: as he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: and the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left. Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet; (as the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain: only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us: only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.”

The Ministry of Healing

The Essential Knowledge (Part 7)

“The light of the knowledge of the glory of God.”

Chapter 35—A True Knowledge of God

The Glory of the Cross

The revelation of God’s love to man centers in the cross. Its full significance tongue cannot utter, pen cannot portray, the mind of man cannot comprehend. Looking upon the cross of Calvary, we can only say, “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Christ crucified for our sins, Christ risen from the dead, Christ ascended on high, is the science of salvation that we are to learn and to teach. 

https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/135.2187#2187

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for revealing Your love for us perfectly in Your Son Jesus. Please bless us to become one with You as You are with Your Son, according to Your Will. Thank You because we ask it in the Awesome and Almighty name of Your Son, Jesus, our Saving King. Amen.

NOTE: These  began as daily texts to encourage my academy roommate and dear friend of nearly 50 years, until she suddenly passed March 2023. Now I continue to compile and send them to anyone who will receive them and to her family in honor of their mom. 
Lately, I have begun featuring consecutive chapter portions of a select Bible-based book.
If you agree to continue receiving them, then this is my personal gift to you; and in this way, I not only honor God but the memory of a very dear friend whom I desperately miss.
My personal prayer is that God will bless me to find ways to multiply this gift, so that we all may be encouraged to be found faithful in the sight of a Holy God, whenever Christ returns or our eyes are shut in the sleep of death.
It is a prayerful process that leads me to share from my personal study. 
So please feel free to forward to your loved ones or to anyone, as God leads you. I’m calling them Barb’s Devotionals.

Come out of her! Why would you choose death?

Babylon is the habitation of devils, the place for foul spirits, etc—the dwelling place of every thing evil, wicked. Why would you choose to die with her—eternal death?

Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and theBabylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: the merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.

And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.”

And in that day…

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

“The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

Isaiah 2:1-22 KJV

Perilous times are here

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.” 2Timothy 3:1-9 KJV

Who has believed our report?

“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?”

Do we have His name written in our mind? Will we respond as Yeshuah did? What will be our response, or will we react?

“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”

“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Awake! Awake!…

“For that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.”

“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.

Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.”

All these things, shall come to pass

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

These are, the last days…

“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.”

We have been in the last days for a long while. Prophecy is coming to pass now more rapidly than ever before. Elohim is shortening the days for His Elect’s sake. Wake up! Get in the Ark! Get and remain connected to the Vine. Make sure your lamps are full of the Oil. Be ready.

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: let him which is on the house top not come down to take any thing out of his house: neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Let us finish the work given us to do

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Are we living with Him in the Holiest of all?

“Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Why separate yourselves from Life, and die?

Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. All Eloheem has allowed is not done without cause. Repent, and choose not to be amongst the dead.

“Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?

Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: and I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it: though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD. If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts: though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it: though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves. Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.”

The change must come

We must die to self daily—moment by moment, giving up self will to the will of Eloheem, seeking Him to be sanctified—made holy having Life Eternal.

The method is not changed. We must be willing to be changed, Yeshuah’s way, not ours.

The Lord led His people out of bondage spiritually and physically. He first showed them His Love for them in His Power to deliver them and protect them. He brought to their remembrance His seventh day, rest. Yeshuah removed them from their environment. He changed their palate, to give them not only victory over appetite, over self, but also to free their minds from captivity to Satan and his angels (demons, fallen angels, devils, imps). Yeshuah gave them His healing Manna to eat that the body (His temple, His sanctuary) could heal, be cleansed and clean, and receive Him—that He dwell in the Holiest of Holies of their mind which is housed in the brain. If their will was to Love Him with His Love unto obedience to do that which is pleasing to Him—they have need of nothing. He will save, deliver.

We must die that Christ will live within us. How? Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our mind—And that we have Christ mind, the hope of glory. We have His righteousness. The lives we live we do right by faith, living justly by His Power—the Holy Spirit Who The Holy Father gives us when we ask Him, believe He gives us.

The soul who has Christ mind through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit has Eloheem’s thoughts, His ways: Has His law written in their mind.

Sweet victory in Yeshuah.

HalleluYah! HalleluYah!! HalleluYah!!!

To be reconciled, there must be a change…

The change is to be wholly re-created in Christ: Repent and be converted. One cannot be reconciled until Elohim having the same mindset, character, living the ways of the old man.

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 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; who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.”

The Word prophesied, comes to pass

“And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; For he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people By the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; Whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.”

And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.

And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.

Nothing is impossible…

“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

Nothing is impossible, with God. He makes no mistakes. He does not change. His Word does not return unto Him void.

“And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 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 holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

Prayer, is answered

“Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.

And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”

The vision

Behold with your eyes and hear with your ears, and set your heart (mind) upon all things He shows you.

The outer court:

“And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad. And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed. He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.

Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door. He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate. And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.

Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement. And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.

Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward. And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them. And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.

After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures. And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits. And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof. And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.”

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

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

■ Carrying out the sinful action in the heart/mind = transgression.

Thus necessitating the need for a new heart and mind where His law can be written.

Ezekiel 18:31
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Jeremiah 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

A thought planted, and thought carried out in the mind with wilful consent are two different scenarios. Satan can speak to the subconscious mind, but he cannot coerce the will to yield. Every thought satan seeks to plant in our mind we are to uproot by prayer and the mighty cleaver of truth, which is the WORD!

Don’t let the foundations be destroyed!

If we be deceived, blinded, and forget our foundations, What can we do?

Let us trust solely in the Lord.

If we be the Lord’s righteous people, we know our foundations, we know from where we came, from where Elohim has brought us—therefore, when He tries us, we pass having exercised the measure of faith the Lord has given, and the Holy Ghost. Eloheem increases our faith unto us having the faith of Yeshuah. He bestows upon us His promised blessings.

“In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, flee as a bird to your mountain? For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?

The LORD is in his holy temple, The LORD’s throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The LORD trieth the righteous: But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: This shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Ministry of Healing

Health Principles (Part 19)

“Without a knowledge of health principles, no one is fitted for life’s responsibilities.”

Chapter 27—Liquor Traffic and Prohibition

“Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; … that saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion. Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? … Thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.” Jeremiah 22:13-17

The Work of the Liquor Seller

This scripture pictures the work of those who manufacture and who sell intoxicating liquor. Their business means robbery. For the money they receive, no equivalent is returned. Every dollar they add to their gains has brought a curse to the spender. 

With a liberal hand, God has bestowed His blessings upon men. If His gifts were wisely used, how little the world would know of poverty or distress! It is the wickedness of men that turns His blessings into a curse. It is through the greed of gain and the lust of appetite that the grains and fruits given for our sustenance are converted into poisons that bring misery and ruin. 

Every year millions upon millions of gallons of intoxicating liquors are consumed. Millions upon millions of dollars are spent in buying wretchedness, poverty, disease, degradation, lust, crime, and death. For the sake of gain, the liquor seller deals out to his victims that which corrupts and destroys mind and body. He entails on the drunkard’s family poverty and wretchedness. 

When his victim is dead, the rum seller’s exactions do not cease. He robs the widow and brings children to beggary. He does not hesitate to take the very necessaries of life from the destitute family, to pay the drink bill of the husband and father. The cries of the suffering children, the tears of the agonized mother, serve only to exasperate him. What is it to him if these suffering ones starve? What is it to him if they, too, are driven to degradation and ruin? He grows rich on the pittances of those whom he is leading to perdition. 

Houses of prostitution, dens of vice, criminal courts, prisons, almshouses, insane asylums, hospitals, all are, to a great degree, filled as a result of the liquor seller’s work. Like the mystic Babylon of the Apocalypse, he is dealing in “slaves, and souls of men.” Behind the liquor seller stands the mighty destroyer of souls, and every art which earth or hell can devise is employed to draw human beings under his power. In the city and the country, on the railway trains, on the great steamers, in places of business, in the halls of pleasure, in the medical dispensary, even in the church, on the sacred Communion table, his traps are set. Nothing is left undone to create and to foster the desire for intoxicants. On almost every corner stands the public house, with its brilliant lights, its welcome and good cheer, inviting the working man, the wealthy idler, and the unsuspecting youth. 

In private lunchrooms and fashionable resorts, ladies are supplied with popular drinks, under some pleasing name, that are really intoxicants. For the sick and the exhausted, there are the widely advertised bitters, consisting largely of alcohol. 

To create the liquor appetite in little children, alcohol is introduced into confectionery. Such confectionery is sold in the shops. And by the gift of these candies the liquor seller entices children into his resorts. 

Day by day, month by month, year by year, the work goes on. Fathers and husbands and brothers, the stay and hope and pride of the nation, are steadily passing into the liquor dealer’s haunts, to be sent back wrecked and ruined. 

More terrible still, the curse is striking the very heart of the home. More and more, women are forming the liquor habit. In many a household, little children, even in the innocence and helplessness of babyhood, are in daily peril through the neglect, the abuse, the vileness of drunken mothers. Sons and daughters are growing up under the shadow of this terrible evil. What outlook for their future but that they will sink even lower than their parents? 

From so-called Christian lands the curse is carried to the regions of idolatry. The poor, ignorant savages are taught the use of liquor. Even among the heathen, men of intelligence recognize and protest against it as a deadly poison; but in vain have they sought to protect their lands from its ravages. By civilized peoples, tobacco, liquor, and opium are forced upon the heathen nations. The ungoverned passions of the savage, stimulated by drink, drag him down to degradation before unknown, and it becomes an almost hopeless undertaking to send missionaries to these lands. 

Through their contact with peoples who should have given them a knowledge of God, the heathen are led into vices which are proving the destruction of whole tribes and races. And in the dark places of the earth the men of civilized nations are hated because of this.

NOTE: These  began as daily texts to encourage my academy roommate and dear friend of nearly 50 years, until she suddenly passed March 2023. Now I continue to compile and send them to anyone who will receive them and to her family in honor of their mom. 
Lately, I have begun featuring consecutive chapter portions of a select Bible-based book.
If you agree to continue receiving them, then this is my personal gift to you; and in this way, I not only honor God but the memory of a very dear friend whom I desperately miss.
My personal prayer is that God will bless me to find ways to multiply this gift, so that we all may be encouraged to be found faithful in the sight of a Holy God, whenever Christ returns or our eyes are shut in the sleep of death.
It is a prayerful process that leads me to share from my personal study. 
So please feel free to forward to your loved ones or to anyone, as God leads you. I’m calling them Barb’s Devotionals.

Heaven and Earth record this, today

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

What are you doing right now, today?!

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit away—you don’t know when you have no more opportunities to be filled with, changed by, and empowered, strengthened to hear and do the Word. We cannot have the mind of Christ, and will not be sealed when Yeshuah comes to our name without the Holy Spirit. Period.

The Holy Spirit is convicting souls of truth, what they need to give up, to surrender wholeheartedly their will to the will of Eloheem. But, many souls are professing being in the Lord, yet they are denying Him in their daily choices in their living. We must repent and be converted that our sins be blotted out that we be born again and our name remain written in the book of Life. There is no more time to be backsliding! No more time to be living your way! No more time to be being men pleasures denying our Lord and Savior!

What are you doing right now, today?! Will you be found within the strait gate, and narrow way of the Lord by the Lord?

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What are you doing right now, today?

“Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: but he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: for the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Time is almost finished! Be not deceived. Repent and be converted. Watch and pray.

“O come, let us worship and bow down: Let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, As in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath That they should not enter into my rest.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Will you enter?

What are you doing right now, today?!

How will you be found of Him if He comes to your name, right now, today?

Behold, Now is the day of salvation!

“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; by pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The waiting season…

The waiting season is where Eloheem measures our heart—which is the mind. We must have the faith of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit dwelling within. Jesus is in the Holiest place in the sanctuary (The Most Holy Place) in the third Heaven cleansing the Sanctuary of sin and interceding for us. But, soon He, Michael will stand up and put on His Kingly garments and there will be no more an Intercessor. His cleansing work will be finished. He will step out from the Most Holy Place as King. He will come to get Israel—His faithful and true, His obedient children, His children that have the faith of Jesus; His children who Love Him having His Love in them—they are from all walks of life, whose skin is of different colors—Jew and Gentile.

Repent and be converted that through the waiting season, and when probation closes you will be found of the Lord faithful and true no matter what is said or done to you. We choose to be His witnesses that He is God.

It’s all about each individual working out their own salvation with fear and trembling. How will we each be found in these test—Will we keep failing them, retaking them? Or, will we choose to let go and let God? Period.

Let us put on daily moment by moment, keeping on the Whole armor of God! We shall by His faith and the Holy Ghost be conquers, victorious in Jesus name!

And when Satan and or his devils come with their attacks through people, with their temptations and proposals, We will not fall, but we will overcome as Christ overcame! HalleluYah!!!

“So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Let the Lord lead, click on the link, or not. Eloheem bless you.

The waiting season

Be encouraged in the Word.

For who are His promised blessings?

“The LORD is their strength, And he is the saving strength of his anointed.”

“Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: Lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, When I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, Which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavours: Give them after the work of their hands; Render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

Blessed be the LORD, Because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The LORD is their strength, And he is the saving strength of his anointed.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: Feed them also, and lift them up for ever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Be not deceived, again

Just because you believe having only the intellectual knowledge of the Godhead; just because you say you believe; just because you go to the church building on the right day (the seventh day); just because you go to the church building on the 1st day believing, saying it is the right day; just because you know scripture and say them yet by your life prove you are not converted, have no understanding of the Holy Spirit; just because your lifestyle of living in your eating and drinking appears to be of the Lord—all this means nothing if you are not sanctified daily (made holy) by YHW; if you do not know and have Life Eternal. If souls only have the belief in Yeshuah having the intellectual knowledge of Him that He came and died, resurrected; but, call Him Lord yet do not obey Him, choose not to receive Him, His righteousness, choose to disobey the Word; He does not know these souls no matter what their lips speak because they deny Him with their mind, body, in their daily living.

Believing is faith in action. Believing is both hearing and doing the Word of Eloheem as did Yeshuah His Son—by His Faith and the Holy Spirit Christ always obeyed His Holy Father. We must choose to do the same, every day moment by moment.

Do not be deceived listening to Satan that you can live your own way (which is really Satan’s ways). A soul either has the mind, the thoughts, the ways, the words: The Holy Spirit in them or they have demonic spirits in them—unclean spirits, devils or even them and Satan himself. No soul truly has their own thoughts, and ways. Let that sink in.

A soul can be professing be in the Lord, while thinking, speaking, watching, reading, listening to, obeying the ways and will of Satan, and be oppressed, harassed, even possessed with demons—even legions of devils, all while seemingly being in the Lord, seemingly being a follower of Christ; yet committing adultery sleeping with the enemy, being yoked with the ungodly, in contracts, covenants with the world.

How is this so? By backsliding—turning away from Eloheem thinking, speaking, doing even one thing that Yeshuah gave you victory over—you keep turning back to your vomit; you keep looking back being as Lot’s wife; you choose to have itchy ears; you seek and listen to the counsel of ungodly souls; you choose to have the love of the world for the world bring of it. The house was cleaned up, spotless but you didn’t fill it daily with the Word, beholding Him, learning of Him knowing Him, becoming changed by Him. So, the enemy came back to claim his property back, he returned with seven demons more worse than himself. The Lord healed you, yet you keep turning back to things, food, the mindset, etcetera as you had before—so, you are sicker, or illness, your calamity, your plague, your spiritual state, etcetera is worse than you were before you ever came to Christ.

Hear the Word, be not deceived, again.

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

For 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; and 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; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but 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. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. But 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; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

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

For 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. For 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.

But 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.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Where is your heart?

Where is your heart (mind)? Upon who, are you yielding yourself to, to be built upon—who is your house (you, your mind, the very body, the living walking sanctuary, temple of Eloheem) being built upon? We cannot serve two masters, it is impossible to Love, to have have two masters. Be not deceived. We cannot not have no unbelief. Period.

Today, hear His voice and harden not your heart (mind). Today, right now choose who you will serve—this is a daily (moment by moment) decision.

Hear the Word:

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart; And they have not known my ways.

So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The closed book is now open

The names of those who know and have Life Eternal are written in the book. These are wise and holy people belonging to Eloheem. These are purified and made white, are tried.

But, in these last days—end times, now and even more so after Michael stands up the wicked do wickedly and none of them will understand.

But! The wise will understand. Ask The Holy Father what is the spiritual state of your mind in Yeshuah’s name. He will show you, you must choose who you will serve. Learn of Eloheem, seek Him daily for His Holy Spirit.

If anyone doesn’t know and have Life Eternal, if they are not healed and made whole, clothed in their right mind having the faith of Yeshuah; if anyone hasn’t received Eloheem’s repentance and have not repented, and have not done the works of repentance and daily remain converted—these are the wicked who do wickedly; these are the wicked who don’t understand. These are the wicked who will not stand in the judgment of the righteous—their names are not found in the book.

Decisions, final decisions are being made now, daily. Knowledge is increasing now. Understanding is given of the Holy Spirit, now, daily—if souls seek, ask, knock for the Holy Spirit daily. Souls are making their final decisions daily, now. Probation is closing daily. Many souls are dying without Eloheem’s salvation. Today, right now if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Choose Life.

Hear the Word:

“And 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.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It is done

Do you believe?

We have to be in the Almighty YHW in order to receive His promised blessings. Children of the Day receive the blessings Yeshuah has promised unto His righteous. Yes, we were sinners; but, we have been redeemed! HalleluYah!!!

Hear the Word:

“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD.

For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.”

Love

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But 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; that 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. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬-‭48‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”

Entanglements—Warning! Don’t do it!

Hear and do according to the Word. If you don’t understand, choose to obey, period. Seek, ask, knock for the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus, and Eloheem will give the Holy Spirit to you. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth and give us understanding.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for 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.

Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

When? When will we simply, believe?

Believe the Almighty I Am and know what He has told us, is done. We must simply, believe. Believe is faith in action. The life shows the rebirth through faith within the soul. What does believing look like in the life you may ask—It is that We are hearers and doers of the Word, having the faith of Jesus. We have His law of love and liberty written in our minds. We obey God having His Agape. We have in our very DNA, in our mindset, imbedded in us His Name—His Character through the Holy Spirit. We are His obedient children having His Light: We live His Light. We know Him—We have Life Eternal.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And so, we live having assurance that His Word is done. We simply thank the Holy Father in the name of Jesus. It is done. Live in expectancy of God daily.

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: For he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

A little that a righteous man hath is better Than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: But the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: And their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: But the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; And they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, And forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, And his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: For the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭37‬:‭1‬-‭40‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Be not deceived, entangled again

When we measure by the Word, by the principles of Eloheem, this is not judging. This is righteous judgment—an investigation to determine if things, if people, if seemingly open doors of opportunities are from God, or if they are snares, tricks of Satan to gain entrance into one’s mind-seeking control, seeking to take one’s faith, seeking worship by whatever means necessary.

Be not deceived.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭8‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 14:12 KJV

Everything that looks, appears, sounds to be “good”, is not. Eloheem’s true people hearken unto His voice. They follow Yeshuah wherever He goes. Money, prestige, etcetera is not our purpose, or goal. Our purpose is to be Eloheem’s witnesses that He is Eloheem—He is God who sanctifies us. We were created for His pleasure.

Be not deceived.

Live, in the Spirit

“Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: but I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

Let such a one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present. For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It really is that simple

We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. We can do nothing without Him that which is of Him.

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But 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.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure 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.”

Sin, a heavy burden

Our burdens are lifted at Calvary! HalleluYah!!!

“But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.”

“O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt Because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: And there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; And my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to halt, And my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. They also that render evil for good Are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.”

The curse, the consequences of sin unrepentant of

“The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land; they shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies. Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them: neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; and ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me.

Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭16‬:‭1‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Deuteronomy 28:15 begins telling the curses that shall come unto they who choose to hold on to sin, and not repent—they who choose to love death and not love Life. Yeshuah takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked. His Eord comes to pass.

His prayer, What is ours?

“A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make known; In wrath remember mercy. God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness was as the light; He had horns coming out of his hand: And there was the hiding of his power. Before him went the pestilence, And burning coals went forth at his feet.

He stood, and measured the earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the everlasting mountains were scattered, The perpetual hills did bow: His ways are everlasting.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: And the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers? Was thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thine horses And thy chariots of salvation? Thy bow was made quite naked, According to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah.

Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: The overflowing of the water passed by: The deep uttered his voice, And lifted up his hands on high. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: At the light of thine arrows they went, And at the shining of thy glittering spear.

Thou didst march through the land in indignation, Thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, Even for salvation with thine anointed; Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, By discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly. Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, Through the heap of great waters.

When I heard, my belly trembled; My lips quivered at the voice: Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, That I might rest in the day of trouble: When he cometh up unto the people, He will invade them with his troops.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no meat; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The LORD God is my strength, And he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, And he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.”

The Word does not change

Eloheem does not change. There is His perfect will, and there is His permissive will—He does and allows unto our salvation, without force. Yet, the Word spoken out of His mouth He will not alter; He will not reverse.

Hear the Word. Read slowly led of the Holy Ghost.

“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, and said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness: I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years. I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

O Lord, by these things men live, And in all these things is the life of my spirit: So wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD was ready to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?”

And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem. For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.

Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Three intercessions—Yet they would not repent

“Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.”

“The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins. Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not. Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.”

A song, praise in Sabbath

Sing, praise into Yeshuah in His Sabbath—in the seventh day, today.

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O LORD, how great are thy works! And thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of a unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock, And there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Be not as the “linen girdle”

“This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.”

“Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?”

Repent and be converted before it is too late. Repent!!! Confess, repent—be forgiven and cleansed, healed and made whole. Repent and be converted that your sins be blotted out, and that you be born again. Repent, be cleansed, live and let your Light shine as the candle on a hill—if not, destruction will come.

“Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.

Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive.

Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.

Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail? And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields.

Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?”

Don’t be weary of them!

Don’t be bothered by the prosperity of the wicked. Don’t let them get to you either. Don’t be concerned what demise they plan for you. They will be taken and destroyed by their own works. What they plan to destroy you, they shall fall and perish by it.

Receive Eloheem’s gift of repentance before it’s too late.

The disobedient to Eloheem, the wicked, the heathen, they who don’t believe: Eloheem will give them another opportunity to know Him, to receive repentance, to obey Him—Love Him. If they choose to love Eloheem of their own freewill, they will receive forgiveness and cleansing and Life eternal. If they will not love Eloheem of their own freewill; The end of them is that they will not be, they perish.

“If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?”

“Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.

Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.”

Disobedience brings deaf ears, death

I pray every soul choose Life, not death.

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: that I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.

Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings. But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand: therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: and there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.”

Learn not the ways of the heathen, love not the world

Repent and be converted that you be born again. Hurry! Time is almost finished!

“Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.”

Because, no one would repent!

Repent! Repent!! Repent!!! Don’t be as these. The time is come again. Hear the warning! Repent while the window of opportunity is open. Remember, Eloheem will not override one’s own will (the will not surrendered to Eloheem’s will).

Eloheem gave time and opportunities for souls to repent. But, no man would repent. Now, the sentence is come:

“At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves: and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth. And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.

When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her?

Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?”

Amend your ways, and your doings—Hurry!

Repent of your sins, turn away from your lip service, turn away from your external religion; repent of your sins right now, today—because soon you will seek to and it will be too late. Eloheem will not answer you.

“Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.”

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?

Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: but this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.”

“O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.

I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.

Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

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

Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.

We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.”

These things are written, that your joy be full

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

Blessed are His obedient

They who have Eloheem’s name written in their heart (mind)—They have His character, His Love imbedded within. These souls have Christ righteousness within them through the Holy Spirit, they live His righteousness by faith. These souls have the faith of Jesus. These souls not only believe in Him, but they also have His faith, so their believing is also living a life of obedience by the power of the Holy Spirit Who dwells within them.

Having the faith of Jesus and the Holy Spirit within, the soul lives being sanctified by Eloheem daily as the soul dies daily.

“Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, That delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: The generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: And his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: He will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness endureth for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honour.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: The desire of the wicked shall perish.”

Don’t forget He Who delivered you…

We have a choice of Life or death each and every day and night.

“And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.”

“And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.”

How Jesus delivered His children before is the same He does now. He first separates us from people places and things which Satan uses to keep us in bondage, changes our environment. He changes our appetite for food, changes our palate—the food we eat is His food He created for us to eat for health and strength, and to maintain the body the mind of His temple His sanctuary. And we crave His spiritual food and eat it before we eat our physical food.

YHW changes how we dress, how we live by putting us where we will learn to trust Him. He teaches us if we seek Him, know Him, The Father, The Son—we have Eternal Life, We know because we are taught of the Holy Spirit. We know that He provides our every need. He withholds nothing that is good from us (His will, edifies us in Him, glorifies Him, blesses others as He is glorified).

“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.”

In vain, you make yourself fair

“For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?

Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.”

They professing to be wise, became fools…

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For 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; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

“How shall I pardon thee for this?”

“Hear now this, O foolish people…”:

“Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses. They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

Because, “they know not Me”—Behold, the days come…

“Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; but have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation. For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

Though they cry loud, He will not hear them

They who know better, should know better are living as though they have never tasted the Truth. They are worshipping Tammuz all through the winter season especially in what man calls the twelfth month—December. But all through the year they commit abominations all the while professing Eloheem with their lips but denying Him in their daily living—they choose death not Life. These are souls who should know Truth, who have known Truth, but steadily choose death. They go to church—yet Eloheem is not in them.

Repent! Repent!! Repent!!! Soon it will be too late. Repent and be converted while He may be found, while He will hear—for in the state you are in if you will to remain, He will not be found of you nor will He hear you. But soon Michael will stand up and step out—at this time, it is too late.

“Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭8‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The sinner whose will is to remain in sin yet thinks they are saved, or will be saved—delivered because they “believe”, are deceived—for the devils believe.

Eloheem is Light and in Him is no darkness (no sin) at all. Do not remain a sinner professing to be a sinner yet say you are saved by grace through faith—for where there is no faith, there is no grace.

Be not deceived. There is more that the soul in sin need to do than pray. We must break off sin. We must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We must hate sin, death. We must Love the Lord Eloheem with all our heart, with all our might, with all our soul. We must choose daily and Love, Life—Have Life Eternal.

Repent and be converted before it is too late.

He is pleading! “If thou will return…”

“O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved.”

Will you choose to return to Eloheem from your adulterous living, hating Him? Will you choose to stop sinning again the Lord, and choose to obey Him—choosing to love Him with His Love because He first loved you, us?

Jeremiah again, continues to speak all that the Lord tells him.

Take heed, return to Eloheem before it is too late. Hear the judgment to come.

“If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.

And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.

Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.

O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.

Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart. My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.”

Return from your backsliding

Because many choose to remain sinning, living in a backsliding state—Eloheem does not release the rain the power of the Holy Spirit. “Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.”

Sin is a choice that no soul has to, or must choose. Every soul has freedom of choice to choose from the two options the Lord gives to each and every living human being (soul): Choose Life or death.

Jeremiah continues speaking all the Lord told him to—Eloheem’s pleas, His mercy, calling His people out of their adultery against Him. Just as they were warned, We are warned. The Word is speaking to us now.

Hear the Word and take heed, make your choice:

“They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD. Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.

Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end?

Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest. The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.

And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: and I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.

A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.

Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel. For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.”

Willfully sinning…

Many are sinning willfully. If the self-will is not daily given up to Eloheem—surrendered to His will; The soul yields to temptations giving in to devils to Satan and they sin against Eloheem. They have forgotten Him, changed who they worship by their daily choices. Sin has consequences. Period.

Jeremiah in his first sermon speaks all the Lord tells Him to. The Word speaks to us now. The Holy Spirit is convicting souls of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.

Many have forgotten Eloheem but He has not forgotten them, us.

Repent and be converted.

Take heed the warning, appeal. Hear the Lord:

“Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?

And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead. For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way? And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways; a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst,

There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.

“Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are Lords; we will come no more unto thee? Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these. Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me.

Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned. Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.”

Good works

Good works is having Christ righteousness in the soul, living life doing right, living justly by faith—having the mind of Christ the hope of glory. Having His character, His Agape (Love) .

“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

And let our’s also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.”

Think, speak—live sound doctrine

Godly counsel is rooted in the will of Eloheem, based on His principles—His Truth—sound doctrine.

“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”

The called, ordained—rebuke the false…

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; but hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; to Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

The Glory, The Fire…

Do you know Him?

“And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭1‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.”

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

He was called, so are you and I…

Eloheem knew us before we were formed in our mother’s womb!!! His will is that we live out His will for us. His will is that we be saved (Delivered from sin and from the power of sin: death); He wants us to receive the victory over sin and death that Jesus has already won for us. HalleluYah!

We must daily choose between Life and death.

Eloheem calls, but not all answer—Have you? Eloheem gives us signs, but do we see? Eloheem gives us assurance, but do we receive?

Eloheem (God) gives us examples throughout His Word of His governing, of the purpose for which He created us who are for now—a little lower than the angels; He created us for His pleasure, to multiply, live glorifying Him. We are to live being His witnesses of His Love—His self-sacrificing Love; His saving Power. We are to warn others, call sin out by its right name. And He warns us throughout His Holy Scriptures what the result or consequences of transgressing His Law, His Word—living contrary to His Will, to His Word: His Name, His character.

Let us study Eloheem’s Word and take heed. Let us behold Eloheem—Let us know Him, His Son, The Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost, Spirit of God). Let us learn and take heed as we examine ourselves by The Word, through the life record of Eloheem’s prophet, Jeremiah.

Hear, receive, be encouraged and apply the Word by the faith of YHW and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Trust and obey. Take heed the warnings.

“The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth.

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.

Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.”

Knowledge brings about choices: Life or death, choose!

“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: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our’s only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”

Bear witness of the Light

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Self-sacrificing, self-renouncing Love

Self-sacrificing, self-renouncing Love:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

“But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

“Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”

“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. 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. And 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. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Love we are to love Eloheem with, and love ourselves with, and love others as ourselves with is Agape. This Love doesn’t look out for self first. This Love endures unto the end. This Love doesn’t rail back. This Love speaks the Word in life situations and circumstances and gives Eloheem thanks in all things. This Love doesn’t compromise Eloheem’s Truth, doesn’t compromise His principles, His Word.

This Love forgives over and over and over again. This Love forgives and even if this Love cannot reconcile with another because of the spiritual mindset of the soul before them—they help the person, pray for their salvation, praying for them to be delivered, healed and made whole in Jesus name.

When the love of Eloheem is in us, it is not I but Jesus Christ Who lives within through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Eloheem’s love sometimes has to be and remain silent. His love speaks only the truth. His love is redemptive. We don’t seek revenge, we don’t do to others as they have done to us—but rather, We do to them what we want them to do to us.

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This Love the unconverted do not know, nor do they appreciate—they who choose to remain to be sinners do not know this Love. The world does not know this Love. The world has not experienced this Love, it is beyond their comprehension—it is foreign to them. The love Of Eloheem breathes life into them but they choose not to receive Life.

Eloheem’s love has no resemblance at all to the many counterfeit loves of Satan. Eloheem’s love is Day—Light. Satan’s love is Night—Darkness.

Which do you by faith choose to desire, have within, and live?

The Lord is at hand—Where are you?

Where are you?

Is your mind (heart) on your career, on your material possessions; on what you perceive for yourself years ahead? Is your heart (mind) on finding a husband instead on your relationship with the Holy One the Husband you already have, are to be married to, the One you commit adultery on every day and night? Is your heart (mind) on you, what you like, where you want to go, on what you want to eat and how you want to dress—how you want to live; how and where you want to worship? Are you holding on to sin no matter how minute you may think it is? Is your will wholly, totally, completely given up to the will of Eloheem (God)?

The Almighty YHW is coming! Where are you?!

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But 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.

And 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.

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men.

The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We each in the Lord are the living walking sanctuary of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Because the Spirit dwells within, We have Christ mind; we Love Him and keep His commandments. We have the faith of Jesus, We desire to do His will, His commandments are not grievous but they are a delight: We have Life Eternal.

We having Life Eternal, we are living in the Holiest of Holies with Jesus, where He is.

It’s not all peaches and cream, not all “bad”

There is a lie that has greatly spread and many, the majority are deceived.

Being a follower of YHW is not all things and circumstances and situations happy, joyous, positivity, life, peaches and cream, happy ever after. No. YHW was persecuted, suffered, died. What makes the soul think that we that abide in Him and He in us, won’t? The voices of devils, of Satan make the soul think that. How? Because the soul’s heart (mind) is not fully surrendered to Eloheem.

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember 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 your’s also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭18‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If you are learning that it’s all good after you come to the Lord, all the soul has to do is believe, love one another—yet, you are not learning of God (Eloheem), not learning of Eloheem’s character, not learning what His Agape is (His Love is); not learning to know Father and Son, and Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit, Spirit of Eloheem); not learning what being a living sacrifice is: The soul is living in vain. The soul is still being influenced, and ultimately controlled by devils and doesn’t even realize it—the soul is still lost.

Many are deceived and think that if no “bad” things come to a soul in YHW that they are not really His. Be not deceived.

How can we know what is true? We must know the Word—the Word must be abiding in us. We must have Life Eternal.

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Then we will not be deceived. We will know we are truly blessed no matter what comes upon us—we rejoice. We praise the Lord. We give Him thanks no matter what.

Seek Eloheem for His Holy Spirit and read and study through His Word, through the life of His prophets, through the life of His disciples, His people having the faith of YHW; His people who were abiding in Him and His Word in them. Those who were not living in Him, and Eloheem brought it to their attention, and they repented and did no more evil against Him, but only obeyed Him loving Him.

Die daily—give up one’s own will to the will of Eloheem. Spend time in the Word, behold Eloheem, know Him—the soul who knows The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit will not be deceived. We are blessed no matter what.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.”

“And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭5‬:‭41‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

The prayer prayed, granted

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee.

Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

“Things the angels desire to look into”

“the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ”.

“who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching 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.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”

No matter the physical preparedness…

If the mind is not connected to, in the Vine, producing fruit—living in the Law of Love and liberty; being pruned of the Husbandman—The soul is lost having separated themself from the Vine by their own free will in their daily living no matter their geographical location, no matter their verbal or physical profession, no matter their lip-service.

If the soul is not spiritually prepared, it matters not the physical preparedness, nor their theological knowledge. God will not take us where He will keep us if we are not spiritually connected to the Vine; if we are not abiding in Him; If the Word is not abiding within the soul: If we are not totally surrendering self will to the will of God: God will not save these souls because of their own choices to live contrary to Him. Daily (moment by moment) God gives us this choice: Choose Life or death. Period. What is your choice moment by moment—daily?

The soul can be going to the “church building” on Eloheem’s seventh-day—Sabbath, living in the country, seemingly “eating” the Lord’s “diet”; seemingly “married” to Eloheem, seemingly clothed with His “garments”, seemingly keeping Eloheem’s commandments; Yet, self is not dying daily, self compromises to please others; self yields to the enemy’s temptations doing what the “old man” likes and did(even if not “all” what they use to do)—after their house was cleaned up and cleaned out of all unrighteousness, cleaned up and out of all defilement and cleaned out of all abominable things, etcetera: They did not fill it with the Word daily, beholding Him becoming changed by the Word.

But, instead they yielded themselves servant to obey Satan, his demons—hearing and obeying their voice instead, even through their own voice via the demons. They listened to the evil voices though kind sweet tones tell them “it’s ok, God loves you, He will forgive you, you cannot overcome sin, go ahead, you won’t die”: The soul fails to remember that Satan mixes truth and error together, disguises lies with a little truth; he dresses it up in attractive apparel and they can be kind, and give things appearing to be blessings—but it is that the soul who yields to Satan time and time again gives Satan more and more power over their mind until he takes full control—the soul is deceived and knows nothing. The soul even forgets truths they once lived and proclaimed, were convicted of the Holy Spirit—they don’t remember when and how they walked in truth.

The soul that is not in the Vine is lost: The soul’s choice daily the first day through the six day is not being sanctified by Eloheem. Therefore, the soul cannot, will not enter into His Rest—Sabbath. (Study and slowly read led of the Holy Spirit Hebrews chapter 4).

First and foremost the soul must know Eloheem (God).

If the soul has not Eternal Life, they are lost. The soul who has Eternal Life Loves Eloheem having His Agape (Love) in them, they keep (obey) Him.

The soul who is by faith wholly surrendered daily to the will of Eloheem lives daily rejoicing in Him sanctifying them daily by His Word, By His Law of Love and liberty. The soul is obedient to Eloheem’s Law, His Word, His whole Word—taking heed the warnings of the consequences of disobedience to Him—they behold the Word and are changed by the Word. They delight in the Word—His whole Law.

To Love Eloheem, is to obey Him, believing on Him, trusting in His every word, obeying His Law of Love and liberty by which He governs us—us whom He created and loves. The soul believes that what He says is true and His word, is done. If one truly knows Eloheem, they Love Him with His Love obeying Him.

To hate Eloheem, is to disobey Him, to live contrary to His Law, contrary to His Word, contrary to His character: Contrary to His name, contrary to: His Law of Love and Liberty: His Ten Commandment Law.

Eloheem is Love (Agape). His Love is self sacrificing.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Eros is desire, sexual “love”=“lust”. Eros is self pleasing, pleasing others to gain something, gain attention, accolades, self exaltation. Eros is that which will kill and destroy, take up reproach, vengeance—do to others and or worse as they do to them, etcetera. Eros is the love of the world and based on the world’s standards and definition.

Seek Eloheem for His Holy Spirit, and carefully, slowly read and study The True Vine, The Husbandman, and the branches; Go back to the beginning, and slowly read and study Genesis. Read slowly and study of Eloheem—Father and Son and Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Obedience is loving God. Loving Him obeying Him is not legalism: It is His Love (Agape); His Holy Spirit within causing the soul to will and do Eloheem’s good pleasure. We can do nothing without God.

The obedient are obedient having the faith of Jesus, having the mind of Christ in them via through the Holy Spirit Who dwells in them, and causes them to hear and do the Word.

Fill the house daily with Light, or death is present

The house is cleaned out, but the soul daily yields to sin—they fill it with Satan’s property. So the devils come and make the soul their abode, worse than before.

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then 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.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.”

Judgment is come

Eloheem’s judgement is come:.

“And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; but have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them”…

“Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; but have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out. Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation. For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them. Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:”

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

“Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit”

“Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.”

“Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

A Defenced city

If, we answer the call of Eloheem, We learn of Him, get to know Him, His Son Jesus—we have Life eternal: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Because we know Eloheem and Jesus Christ Whom He sent, we have Life eternal. We know what the Lord has anointed us, called us to speak, to live. And we go forth and speak His words He put in our mouth being His Defenced city, His Watchman. We are not afraid. By the power and strength of the Holy Ghost given us of YHW: We call out sin by its right name; We root out, pull down, destroy, throw down; to build, and to plant. “For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.”

“The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth.

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north. Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.”

Walk (live) in truth—practice truth. We witness of God’s Agape, and that He is in us, and that we know Him when we live in, practice Truth Loving the people of Eloheem—Loving one another: We depart from evil, from ungodliness, from Eros.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

The True Vine—Are you, all-In?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

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

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.

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.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

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

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Remember 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 your’s also.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”

“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: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our’s only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

The end is approaching

Time is almost up. So as it was then, it is now and then the end, come—and the earth as we’ve known it shall never be again. We will be changed, the earth will be made new, and Yeshuah will dwell with us forever. And, We will ever be learning of Eloheem.

“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For 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: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which 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.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For 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; and 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; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but 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.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”

The spiritual state of the mind

Many professed people of God are in the same spiritual state of mind as the world—let that sink in.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For 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; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”

Righteousness…

“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom 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; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

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

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

Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

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

Believe: Eat for spiritual strength-physical

Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! Ecclesiastes 10:17.

The laws of health are to be obeyed. It is important that the digestive organs shall not be overtaxed. There are many who keep the stomach continually at work. It has not opportunity to recruit its strength, and the result must be digestive disorders.

There should be no eating between meals, and at least five hours should be allowed to elapse between the meals. Indigestion is the result of food taken into the stomach before the digestive organs have had time to dispose of the foregoing meal….

Three meals are sufficient, and two meals are better than three. For the past thirty years I have eaten only two meals a day. The dullness from which people suffer is often caused by overeating, and by eating at irregular periods. Dyspepsia brings despondency, and one suffering from this disease, though he may profess to be a Christian, acts in an un-Christlike manner.

Some claim that the inclination to eat is sufficient guide. But one may get into the habit of eating several times a day, yet this would not be best. Such a habit would produce disease, because the digestive organs would be overtaxed.
Practice health reform, and refuse to be turned aside from the right path. Do not faint away, but make your will power bring your appetite into subjection to a true purpose….

God gave Adam charge of the garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it, and of the trees and herbs bearing seed, He said, “They shall be for meat” (see Genesis 1:29; 3:18). Afterward the eating of flesh meat was permitted as one of the consequences of the fall. Before the flood, no provision was made for the use of animal food….

Try going without flesh meat for six months, and see if a change for the better does not take place. I ask you to do this at once. Let your imagination be sanctified. Let your mind and conscience be awakened, your whole being aroused. Guard yourself against giving yourself too much sympathy. Be heroic. Be determined to overcome perverted appetite.

Are you married or, not?

Who are you really committed, submitting to? Who do you really love?

When we daily give-up ourselves, surrender ourselves wholly to God: We are committing to Him—We enter into a holy covenant with God: We are one—by faith and the power, the strength of the Holy Spirit. Keep this in mind as you read led of the Holy Spirit—because if we are first experiencing in our day to day life holy matrimony with God, submitting to Him; We live His word His character glorifying Him as we submit in marriage, to parents, to those in authority; yet, we don’t compromise and sin against God. We live peaceably with others as far as possible. We have Christ mind in us through the Holy Spirit—we are one: We walk in the light being one in and with Christ.

Eloheem is faithful to us, We His church—His people remain faithful to Him. We are one.

Are you married or not? Who really are you committed to? For whom or do you suffer? Remember, we are no better than our Lord.

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

For He that will love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and ensue it.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, And his ears are open unto their prayers: But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

For 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: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which 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.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.”

A spiritual house

New born babes drink the sincere milk of the Word—they lay aside, turn away from sin, they are on fire and they grow feeding upon the sincere milk of the Word. As they grow, they wean off the milk. They begin to eat the strong meat of the word. They offer up sacrifices—self. They are “lively stones” being the house built upon the Chief Corner Stone—These are the “spiritual house, holy priesthood.” These believe—are obedient: A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation—a peculiar people: God’s own.

“Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, The stone which the builders disallowed, The same is made the head of the corner, and A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.”

Let it not be in vain

Time spent with loved ones is in vain if God is not glorified, if we are not being His witness in the time spent.

Never is one moment of the life Eloheem has given us to be spent frivolously, glorifying self or others but neglecting being His witness, neglecting glorifying Him because one doesn’t want to seem to be all about God because of negative words, thoughts, actions of those present. Actually, that is being ashamed of Him, denying the Almighty YHW.

The fact that no matter where we are or what we are doing, or who we are with; We bring up God, equate something spoken of with God, or the fact He is always in our thoughts is not a negative at all. We are to speak of Him, of His law, tell of His wondrous works as we are in our homes, as we are out and about; as we are teaching our children, as we are cleaning, cooking, and wherever we go; wherever we are, etcetera—We have been cleaned up and cleaned out of all contrary to our Lord: We are to be His living walking sanctuary in whom He dwells. We are to live being His witnesses, living testimonies of His saving power.

Anytime spent with loved ones especially in these last days; We best be willing and of freewill letting the Holy Spirit use us in bringing them to a revelation of the Agape Eloheem. Our very purpose is to glorify Him, please Him, thank Him in all things at all times no matter what the situation or circumstances; obey Him by faith; He gives us the Holy Spirit that we obey Him—gives us both the will and to do His good pleasure; He even gives us His Agape that we love Him—it’s His Love we love Him with! We Lift Christ up, He draws men to Himself.

So if we are just hanging out with our loved ones, our children, friends, co-workers, etcetera and we are not being intentional about God being in our very DNA—God being our breath, our joy, our happiness, our peace, our confidence, our happiness, our contentment—we fail to live Him, as well as speak of Him if opportunity arises—many don’t because many don’t want to seem extreme or over the top to others, or feel they won’t want to be around them; then self is very much alive, sin is still active in the soul—the flesh is not dead; the carnal mind is reigning.

We can paint it whatever way we want—it is still what it is.

We are to be God’s witnesses, no matter our past, no matter who we are around, no matter where we are.

“And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭26‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Repent and be converted. Watch and pray. Be not deceived. Time is almost finished.

Don’t choose to be ignorant

Hear, know, apply:

“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 KJV

The Truth shall make us free, free indeed

Why would you choose death and not life?

Hear and know the message; know Him Who makes us free, free from sin and death:

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

Agape is perfected…

“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: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our’s only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Agape is perfected in the children of Eloheem who keep His word. These know Eloheem—We know we know Him because He put His Agape (Love) in us—therefore, we love Him with His own Love and keep His commandments.

The recipe: “Loving One Another”

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.

And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Have you answered the call to be holy?

Eloheem is Holy and calls of us His obedient children to be holy in all manner of our living: “Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.”

Take your shoes off!

“Put off thy shoes from off thy feet” is a command. The ground on which Moses stood was holy because of God’s holy presence was there. The bush stayed burning but never burned up—it was not consumed by fire because it was the very glory of God, His holy presence. God is a consuming fire—study that and know what Eloheem means (Deuteronomy 4:24, Hebrews 12:29).

“And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In Sabbath, is Eloheem’s holy presence—Sabbath is holy ground. It was given to all mankind and all mankind are commanded to keep Sabbath holy—If we belong to God, if He is our Holy Father, our Master, our God. We live daily unto Him, self-will is given up to His will. So when He commands, we take heed and obey because we know it is Love and we return unto Him Love—by faith and His Holy Spirit.

“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God’s Agape is Love that is self-sacrificing. And, His Love allows our choices. Eloheem’s Love the world knows not of, the sinner in sin being unconverted (they who are sinners but are not Christ redeemed because they choose to hold on to their sin no matter how minute, no matter if just one sin—sin separates from God) doesn’t know. They think they know. But these are deceived.

In God’s command is His Love—He knows we will die if we don’t put off our shoes, if we don’t keep our foot off His Sabbath off His holiness; He knows we will die if our mind’s thoughts are not in Him; If our words spoken are not in Him; If our doings are not in Him—if we are eating, drinking, doing that which doesn’t glorify Him, then it’s disobedience to Him. He sees death before us, eternal death. He wants to save us! So He says STOP!!! Take your shoes off or you will die!

Now, will you choose Life or will you choose death?

If we Love Him…

Hear Eloheem and take heed. Remember, If we truly belong to God, We are Israel.

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: that thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full; then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; (for the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: and the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Repent and be converted before it is too late. Surrender self-will wholly and completely to the will of God. The Just live by faith. We are saved by grace through faith. Without faith, there is no grace—This grace is the Power of God, it’s not just pardon. The Power of God is Holy Spirit working in the soul both the will and to do God’s good pleasure—The Holy Spirit will not work in the soul contrary to the soul’s will.

Remember, by faith walk in the Word

Having Eloheem’s Agape is having His self-sacrificing Love—His character, being called by His name. We, the just live by faith—not by our might but by His Power. Our daily walk in Him—this is a lifestyle of living by faith having His righteousness, the mind of Christ in us through the Holy Spirit He puts in us—We are sanctified daily. Eloheem’s Sanctification does not take a lifetime: Sanctification is the lifestyle of the soul governed by Eloheem for the rest of our life—time.

Have we asked the Holy Father in Jesus name for His Holy Spirit to dwell in us today, to sanctify us today? Believing the Word is, we know it is done, We thank God.

The Almighty YHW’s salvation is near. All they that return to Him, all they that come to Him and repent no matter what walk they came from—all they who did not know Him but now they come to Him: All keep His Sabbath holy being sanctified by Eloheem daily through His Holy Spirit by their faith and daily surrender and choices in their daily living. All receive the promised blessings of YHW.

Hurry, probation is daily closing upon souls. Don’t wait—our next breath, a tomorrow is not promised.

The wicked are rebuked in the Word. The wicked are they who live their own will, their own ways, how they want to, and many of them think they will still receive salvation. These have deceived themselves, and having surrendered to Satan’s temptations, distractions and voice so many times that he controls them, he is their father—their master. They have grieved the Holy Spirit away. They think they are right in God—many keep sabbath—keep a day but they are not in Eloheem, He does not know them. God allows their choice, choices because He does not force His salvation (Deliverance from sin). Period. Elohedm gives them up to their own will—to a reprobate mind.

“Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.”

The promised blessings of Eloheem (God) are conditional, they are not for, or unto everyone.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 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.”

Pray Eloheem’s Word. His Word will do what He spoke—It will come to pass. The justified live by faith. Our faith moves the hand of God. He spoke and it stood fast. Trust and believe Him, take Eloheem at His Word. Faith and works are apart of believing Jesus. Hearing and doing God’s Word—not to be saved. No. It is our life testimony that speaks how Eloheem saves, heals, transforms, glorifies. HalleluYah.

By faith, His Holy Spirit He puts within us; We obey the Lord’s voice—having His Agape, we know Him; We Love Him obeying Him.

Personalize Eloheem’s Word and pray believing, speak the Word, declare it. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”

“He openeth not His mouth”

“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: let 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.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so 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.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

Do you Love Sabbath?

“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.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Sabbath is all about God, Loving Him—which is reflected in the lifestyle throughout the six days prior that we enter into His rest, Sabbath. Sabbath is the sign of the soul being daily sanctified by Eloheem through the Holy Spirit. Sabbath is the seal of God’s created work—six days He created, His seal on His creation is Sabbath.

If we have God’s Agape, then we Love Him with His Love. If we Love Him, we Love His holy Sabbath. We love Him with His own Love He puts in us.

God said, “If you love me, keep my commandments”—His Ten Commandment Law of Love, His law of liberty—His law of freedom from the bondage of sin. We will keep Sabbath holy having the mind of Christ in us through the Holy Spirit. The will must be given up to God’s will, daily.

If we truly have God’s Agape, we are surrendered wholly to God daily being sanctified by God all the six days prior being restored by God unto His image after His likeness. Then Sabbath, we enter into God’s rest—His holy Sabbath. We remember to keep Sabbath holy. Sabbath is the sign that we are sealed with Eloheem’s character—His name written in our heart (mind), Christ righteousness. The Holy Spirit seals the true and faithful people of God.

“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart; And they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.”

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Chastening: Redemptive

Repent! Repent!! Repent!!! Jesus is inviting you to repent, and He is inviting all who will to be delivered from sin and receive His Agape—Come, before it is too late. The door to Ark is closing. The way out from the destruction of fire and brimstone is closing in. The door the wedding is closing. The shelter in the time of storm is soon not found.

“Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it?

I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For 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.

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out. There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭48‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Every thing Eloheem allows, apart of chastening is redemptive—not to kill us off, not to destroy us cutting us off.

Look back His people of old time how they sinned against Eloheem. He brought them out of bondage—but, not all. Because of their hardheadedness, their natural sinful natural they surrendered their will to live while saying “We are God’s people, we are His righteous “; while they smeared His name in dung, their end did come.

Are you blinded by Satan so much so that you are presumptuous and keep sinning saying “God will forgive me, He is merciful to me a sinner”? Oh deceived generation! He forgives when one acknowledges and confesses sin, covers. Yet, if the soul does not receive His repentance and turns away from sin, doing the work of repentance; those sins are not blotted out of record—when the Father visits the soul coming to their name, He will see sin and not His Son’s righteousness—the soul’s name is blotted out of the book of Life.

Eloheem wants to save you! know that if you have fallen away, you have not lived in Christ righteousness; He is calling you back. Call out to Him surrendering up yourself your very existence, your all, your will one hundred percent, completely to His will. Repent. He will hear you, answer you, forgive you, convert you, He will save you —deliver you from sin and eternal death.

Jesus, He is in the Holiest of Holies interceding for us to The Holy Father, and cleansing the sanctuary of our sins. But the signs He told us to watch for are all here. Soon, Jesus will stop interceding and cleansing the sanctuary of sin. Soon, He will stand up and take off His priestly garments and He will put on His kingly robe. He will stand up and step out, and come and get His righteous people His saints, His redeemed, His holy and godly people. When He stands up, you will cry out to Him but it will be too late, too late, too late.

Receive God’s gift of repentance now and repent before it is too late. Repent and by the Holy Spirit do the works of repentance, before it is too late. Remember, your next breath is not promised. Don’t be like the wicked. Repent and be converted before it is too late that you be born again, and your sins—all your transgressions and iniquities be blotted out of record.

Be not deceived. Repent and be converted. Watch and pray.

Be not entangled, again

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Don’t refuse to know these things

“Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone. And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; but have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.”

What? You don’t know? Well, you know now

The knowledge is come. Now, each soul has a choice to make, and pray to God for the Holy Spirit to give understanding—and we by faith, walk in truth.

“Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

Bring forth judgment to the Gentiles

Know Whose you are, know who you are; know your role. By faith and the power of the Holy Spirit, choose life today. We do what God has called us to do as His elect.

“I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”

“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once. I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.

These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.

Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.”

The whole earth, because…

“Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.”

From where does it come from? You, Self

Speak Holy Eloheem! HalleluYah

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Ye 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.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace.

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.

For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We best be seeking, asking, and knocking to the Holy Father in Jesus name for the Holy Spirit: This is Who we have not, This is the Power that we have not because we ask not. If we did, we would be walking in the Lord without falling into Satan’s temptations—We wouldn’t be giving into self, into our desires at God’s expense sinning against Him crucifying Christ afresh. We would have victory over Satan, over temptations, over self.

Oh yes. Do Your will Holy Father in Jesus name I pray and thank You. Amen.

The virtuous woman walks in the shoes of “She Wisdom”

She is led of the Holy Ghost and her own works praise her in the gates.

HalleluYah!!!

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life.

She seeketh wool, and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; She bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, And giveth meat to her household, And a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

She girdeth her loins with strength, And strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: Her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, And her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

She is not afraid of the snow for her household: For all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; Her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; And delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; And she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness.

She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.

Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all.

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her own works praise her in the gates.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭10‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

True virtuous women, we measure ourselves by the Word and nobody and nothing else. Many claim they are—but the Word doesn’t lie. The Word is truth.

These virtuous women are powerful witnesses of God’s saving grace being filled with and led of the Holy Ghost!

Did you know this about supplementation?

And more…

Our minerals and vitamins are not best absorbed by the body in a tablet or capsule. God made the best means by which we are to maintain health, to supplement, to heal: The whole food plant based way is His way. His way also includes and we are not to neglect the first and most important nutrients He created for us: Oxygen (fresh air—outdoors, outside); and sunlight—the healing rays in the sun. And He created water—let us make sure we drink clean pure water, us being properly hydrated is very important to our body functioning properly.

Because of sin, we need more—so not only eat plant base, but juice it, make herbs into teas: Drink these incorporating them into our daily intake of plant based food and we will receive from God what we need, and glorify Him being His good stewards.

God does not lie. If we believe Him, we simply thank Him for providing and blessing us our food in Jesus name, amen. He takes care of the shortages, He puts what we need in it. We do our part by faith, He supplies the Power and Means that it is done—by faith and the Holy Spirit we do our part which involves submitting to God, spending quality time with Him in prayer and reading and studying of His Word—getting to know God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It also involves us exercising daily, walking is best because it works the whole body, and there is but not limited to, gardening. We need to rest sleeping eight hours minimum in complete darkness away from technology like televisions and computers and cell phones, etcetera; and we must be temperate in all things at all times—having self-control through the working of the Holy Spirit in us.

You know what? Go to the Bible and pray to God for His Holy Spirit to guide you and give you understanding; then read Genesis chapter one through two and read about God creating everything and our food. And then read Daniel chapter 1 about what this whole food plant based eating did for Daniel and his three friends! HalleluYah 🙌🏽🤗🕊️

Let the Lord lead and click on the link below if you don’t know, but want to know about what and why we are to eat plant based to get our minerals and vitamins.

The sixth day of our labor, work

Today, the sixth day of the work week (also known as Friday) of the people of God dying daily, taking up our cross and following Jesus.

At even, as it begins to dawn toward the sixth day, we bow down prostrating ourselves and pray to the One and Only True God. The sixth day of us surrendering up our will to the will of Eloheem (God). We seek Him to put the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us that we walk in His ways keep His statues and do them and His judgements. We seek God to sanctify us. We re-consecrate ourselves to Him. We comit our spirit into His hands.

Today, the sixth day of our preparing spiritually and physically inside and out including our bodies (the spiritual house His Spirit is to dwell in—the secret place of the Most High in the mind housed in the brain—so we live by faith applying His health laws); our labor, our work, good work of Eloheem, the work of repentance. This is the final day of preparation that we be ready to enter into God’s rest.

“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.

“And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16‬:‭23‬-‭24‬, ‭26‬-29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Within the six days, We do all our “stuff”—weddings, funerals, even celebrating birth dates of the living prayerfully in so doing—glorify God; our cleaning, our laundry, our filling the tanks of vehicles with gasoline, all our buying and selling; all our work and conversations dealing with our finances and our work places, and all that pertains to living in this world being foreigners here but, not loving this world nor loving that of the world being citizens of God’s Kingdom that when Sabbath comes—We being sanctified by God put not our foot on His holiness, His Sabbath and do not forget God, and sin against Him.

We believe on Jesus Who God the Father sent. This believing is by faith and the Holy Spirit—We live the Word.

We by the Power of God (The Holy Spirit) seek to know God daily remaining surrendered to Him, receiving His Agape that we love Him (we love Him with His own Love); that we with His Love—Love ourselves, and with His Love; we Love others as we Love ourselves. By faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit; We live Isaiah 58 every day, we don’t just store it all up and say “we will do it on Sabbath”—many do this and are keeping “a day” not the truly holy Sabbath. I say it again, Sabbath is about the holy lifestyle lived throughout the six, the good works of Eloheem are apart of us in Sabbath.

We live by His faith, we believe Him being hearers and doers of His Word—this is Christ in us.

Lord will, when the even comes and each day is ending, We humble ourselves before Eloheeem and pray before we lay down to sleep, having our time with Him.

Lord will, We get up and so we do all led of His Holy Spirit each day, working out our own salvation with fear and trembling; we make our call and election sure each day—that when the seventh day His Holy Sabbath (Saturday) comes to us—We being His, Loving Him obeying Him—living by every word that proceedeth out His mouth have right to enter into His rest. And we be sealed by the Sealer the Holy Ghost with the seal of the Living Almighty God: Sabbath.

The just shall live by faith.

Sanctify me Holy Father I pray, and I thank You in Jesus name.

I pray to Eloheem in Jesus name that you too pray He sanctify you today.

Watch it…

Grieve not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Sealer—Without the Holy Spirit, one cannot have the mind of Christ, cannot have His faith, cannot have His righteousness—cannot have the Agape (Love) of God—cannot and will not obey God; will not be sealed with His character.

Jesus is the way to God the Father, and by Jesus we are saved (delivered from sin). But first, it is the Holy Spirit Who leads us to Jesus; who guides us into all truth, who gives us understanding; who gives us both the will and to do God’s good pleasure. The Holy Spirit is who works in us, is by Whom God restores us unto His image after His likeness.

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It be wise we watch our steps.

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One’s next breath is not promised. If the Holy Spirit is departed from the soul because of one’s choices in their living: They are dead even though they may be alive.

“But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Rule over him”

“If 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.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we choose by faith to just do well—obey God have His agape. We will “rule over him”. And Satan will not rule over us.

Every day, especially the true people of God, souls are tempted more now than ever before because Satan, the Devil knows his time is almost up. So, he is using who he can, using those persons he knows was successful tempting souls to fall into sin against God before; he is using that which God has healed us of; he is using what God gave us victory over.

Know that God has given us warning of the consequences if we let Satan rule us. Eloheem has given us everything we need to rule over self, to rule over the flesh, to rule over the carnal mind; to rule over Satan.

God heals us, we now live by His faith. He has made us whole. This is spiritual and physical healing (including mentally). The death doesn’t come back on us unless we turn away from God by choosing sin that we opened the door to.

Jesus commands this after He heals:

“Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Remember the Word is true. Period. There are no if ands buts or maybes—The Word without a doubt shall be done, is done, comes to pass. Period.

Submit oneself to God. He keeps the soul from falling, and gives us the Power, the Strength to not only overcome, having victory over devils and over temptation; but we also have the Power and Strength of the Holy Spirit to endure temptations unto the the end.

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Speak the Word no matter the temptation—no matter the person being used to tempt, no matter the situation or circumstance Satan is using.

God gives us His Sword not carnal weapons but spiritual weapons to have victory over sin—to “rule over him”:

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119‬:‭105‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Know this:

“My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You think you can, But Know this: You can’t

Be not deceived.

“No 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
‭‭2 John‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

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.”

Come, Come, Come

“And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

To come, we must be ready. To be ready, the will has to be surrendered to God’s will.

“And 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.

“For 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: and 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.

Those who remember, there is “But now…”

“Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, as when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?”

Now faith is…

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.”

We seek Him to put the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within us that we walk in His ways keep His statues and do them and His judgements. We seek God to sanctify us. We re-consecrate ourselves to Him. We comit our spirit into His hands.

Today, the second day of the six days of our preparing spiritually and physically inside and out including our bodies (the spiritual house His Spirit is to dwell in—the secret place of the Most High in the mind housed in the brain—so we live by faith applying His health laws); our labor, our work, good work of Eloheem, the work of repentance.

We do all our “stuff”—weddings, funerals, even celebrating birth dates of the living prayerfully in so doing—glorify God; our cleaning, our laundry, our filling the tanks of vehicles with gasoline, all our buying and selling; all our work and conversations dealing with our finances and our work places, and all that pertains to living in this world being foreigners here but, not loving this world nor loving that of the world being citizens of God’s Kingdom that when Sabbath comes—We being sanctified by God put not our foot on His holiness, His Sabbath and do not forget God, and sin against Him.

We believe on Jesus Who God the Father sent. This believing is by faith and the Holy Spirit—We live the Word.

We by the Power of God (The Holy Spirit) seek to know God daily remaining surrendered to Him, receiving His Agape that we love Him (we love Him with His own Love); that we with His Love—Love ourselves, and with His Love; we Love others as we Love ourselves. By faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit; We live Isaiah 58 every day, we don’t just store it all up and say “we will do it on Sabbath”—many do this and are keeping “a day” not the truly holy Sabbath. I say it again, Sabbath is about the holy lifestyle lived throughout the six, the good works of Eloheem are apart of us in Sabbath.

We live by His faith, we believe Him being hearers and doers of His Word—this is Christ in us.

Lord will, when the even comes and each day is ending, We humble ourselves before Eloheem and pray.

Lord will, We get up and so we do all led of His Holy Spirit each day, working out our own salvation with fear and trembling; we make our call and election sure each day—that when the seventh day His Holy Sabbath (Saturday) comes to us—We being His, Loving Him obeying Him—living by every word that proceedeth out His mouth have right to enter into His rest. And we be sealed by the Sealer the Holy Ghost with the seal of the Living Almighty God: Sabbath.

The just shall live by faith.

Sanctify me Holy Father I pray, and I thank You in Jesus name.

I pray to Eloheem in Jesus name that you too pray He sanctify you today.

Pray for intervention

Do you see the spiritual and physical state of mind of souls who think and so they speak in their mind, live out in their choices? They are deceived and therefore are very deceiving—they speak and even may do kind things appearing to be what they are inwardly not. Many of these know truth, have had and lived in the light—but have put it all off being deceived they think they are alright with God. They now love evil and hate good; they say the truth is not really truth but perceive in themselves what truth is—deception. Pray without ceasing for self and for these souls that God intervene. But know this, God will not override one’s own will.

“The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, That there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭36‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬

God fights for His, they who know Him, put all their trust in Him. No enemy will triumph over us—no matter their deceitful works.

“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.”
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“The 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. But 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.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking 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?

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

And 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; as 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.

Ye 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. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭9-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

“Wilt thou be made whole?”

“Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”

“For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭8,14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

First, study this led of the Holy Spirit. Who had this man’s faith been in prior to Jesus coming to him? Or, Did this man have faith to be healed prior to Jesus?

Second, what was going on here prior to Jesus coming?

Third, the healing from Jesus makes the soul whole—this is a spiritual and physical healing: True healing.

Fourth, What keeps a soul from being made whole?

Fifth, What will cause the illness or disease to return, and or even a worse illness or disease come to the soul?

Keep on studying, this will lead to more study, and more and more truth revealed.

Know God’s Word, what He says and the truth of different matters.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Can you enter into His rest?

What is your labor, work the six days prior?

Sabbath, the soul cannot and will not keep holy without having been sanctified by Eloheem (God) daily—moment by moment having had died and surrendered the will to the will of God.

The beginning of the work week is the first day now known also as sunday. We by faith daily choose to die that Jesus live within. How? By the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. Do we by faith seek The Holy Father daily desiring of Him to fill us with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?

We are to be Eloheem’s witness, that He is Who sanctifies us. If we are not being sanctified daily by God, we are not desiring to be; we have not asked Him having given up our will to His will—we cannot and will not keep His Sabbath holy.

If the soul is living one’s own will the six days prior to Sabbath, doing all the preparation (physical and spiritual) on the sixth day (also known as friday); and in Sabbath turning off the television, not listening to, not reading, or not talking and not watching, not hearing the mess done prior days— the adulteries, abominations done the days prior to Sabbath: The soul is just keeping a day—not keeping God’s Sabbath holy as He commanded and does Himself. The soul is not being sanctified by God daily because their desire is not to be, their will is not to love God being filled with His Agape being restored unto His image after His likeness. The soul is a hearer of God’s Word only deceiving themselves, because they are not a hearer and doer of God’s Word—no matter how many they visit, feed, clothe. The soul is actually doing works to be saved.

Isaiah 58:6-14 is a part of a lifestyle of the people of God in whom He dwells.

Today if you hear Him, do not harden your heart (mind).

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But 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.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It is best to have come to God acknowledging, confessing, and repenting in the eleven o’clock hour rather than to not come to Him at all.

To hate evil…

If we have Eloheem’s Agape, we have His perfect hatred for sin that we rather die than sin against Him—Eloheem reigns in us.

Do you know Him? Do you Love Him having His Agape?

“Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

“The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; Let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and darkness are round about him: Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

A fire goeth before him, And burneth up his enemies round about. His lightnings enlightened the world: The earth saw, and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness, And all the people see his glory.

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, That boast themselves of idols: Worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and was glad; And the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: Thou art exalted far above all gods.

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of his saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.”

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath That they should not enter into my rest.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart; And they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.”

“Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: For praise is comely for the upright. Praise the LORD with harp: Sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; Play skilfully with a loud noise.

For the word of the LORD is right; And all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: He layeth up the depth in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD: Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: He maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike; He considereth all their works.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, According as we hope in thee.”

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old Through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: Surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: Whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: But he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: And shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.”

“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Deliverance, only by the Rock

“As for God, his way is perfect: The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God save the LORD? Or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, And setteth me upon my high places. He teacheth my hands to war, So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: And thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, That my feet did not slip.

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: Neither did I turn again till they were consumed. I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: They are fallen under my feet.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; That I might destroy them that hate me. They cried, but there was none to save them: Even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; And thou hast made me the head of the heathen: A people whom I have not known shall serve me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: The strangers shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade away, And be afraid out of their close places.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; And let the God of my salvation be exalted. It is God that avengeth me, And subdueth the people under me. He delivereth me from mine enemies: Yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: Thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, And sing praises unto thy name. Great deliverance giveth he to his king; And sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.”

Trust and obey

Trust and obey, there is absolutely no other way to be in Jesus.

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭37‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Trust in Eloheem is first, receive His understanding having no interpretation of one’s own perceptions. Self-will is surrendered to Eloheem. The soul is transformed by the renewing of the mind. This trust is that the soul is totally, completely surrendered to Eloheem—we take Him at His Word, our very existence is glorifying Him. He puts His Holy Spirit in us—the Holy Spirit works in us to both will and to do Eloheem’s good pleasure—faith at work.

By our own freewill, we acknowledge Him in every aspect of our living. We belong to Him. We live by His Power He puts in us. We love Him with His own love that He put in us! HalleluYah!

The blessing we receive is that He directs us, He literally is leading us in the way, guiding us with His eye. He rules and governs us. He keeps us the apple of His eye.

We fail not as long as we daily humble ourselves before Him, staying daily surrendered to Him to His Word—Our Lord and Savior, our Creator keeps our mind—our thoughts and imaginations in perfect peace stayed on Him, because we trust in Him. HalleluYah.

We truly have need of no good thing; we have need of nothing—Eloheem provides our need. We just need to trust in the LORD.

“For the LORD God is a sun and shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

A well of Water springing up into everlasting Life

“Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband.

Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”

There is no want to them that fear Him

“I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: Blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: For there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: But they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?

Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked: And they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: And none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.”

“Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.”

“The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

Have you by faith touched His hem?

Have you by faith touched Jesus hem? Have you received His healing? His healing makes the soul whole.

Stop doubting Him. Stop putting your trust in doctors and their pharmaceutical drugs which harm, do not heal but slowly brings deterioration of body, character and life—brings death. The taste and mind’s thoughts are perverted, one doesn’t have Eloheem’s discernment—they have let go of the faith given them of Eloheem. Very subtly the enemy gains control.

Stop looking behind, and look ahead to Jesus, by faith ask the Great Physician to be healed and made whole. Believe Him. Be made whole. Go and sin no more.

“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: for she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.”

He 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.

Woe unto they who say, “The burden of the LORD”

Beware! They make you vain

“they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.”

“Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.

What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.

And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.

Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?

But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.”

The Word: It Is done

They who scatter, and separate feeding the flock their own visions out of their own hearts—they shall reap what they sowed—their own evil returns unto them.

And Eloheem, He gathers together the remnant of His flock.

The LORD speaks, so it is.

“Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.”

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…”

Powerful! Truth!

“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.

Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.”

Listen, Wisdom—She cries

Every time one does not hearken unto Wisdom’s voice, they are grieving Her. She will not continue to convict the soul forever—an end does come. Hearken unto Wisdom before it’s too late.

“Wisdom crieth without; She uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: In the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof:

Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: They despised all my reproof.

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, And the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, And shall be quiet from fear of evil.”

“Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: and I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.”

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Truth—Profound

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

“To know wisdom and instruction…”

“The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; To perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck.

My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; And whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, We shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; Let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, And make haste to shed blood.

Surely in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; Which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I do not this for your sakes,…”

“But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.

Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

Choices and consequences

The choices of the people of Eloheem to live outside His will—we are still reaping the consequences. We were warned just as they in old times. We read the Word, we knew the consequences, yet we did exactly as they did—We received the same consequences.

We need not ask why. We need not wonder what happened. Eloheem told us what would be beforehand. Disobedience, living in the carnal flesh, loving the world and the things of it will always bring ruin, death unto eternal death.

Repent and be converted before it is too late.

“And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.

Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you:

He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.

And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Do you still want a “king”? If you don’t, Hurry, and choose by faith to surrender your all to Eloheem, and be healed and made whole. Accept and receive salvation, life from the Life Giver: Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, surrender your all to Him right now. Pray for His Holy Spirit, and pray His Word back to Him, Psalm 51 and know it is done. Repent and be converted that your sins be blotted out. Put on the whole armor of Eloheem praying Ephesians 6:11-20 and dwelling in the secret place of the Most High pray and declare Psalm 91, and stand ready and firm on His side filled with Wisdom and be victorious! Hurry! Time is almost finished.

Wisdom

Hear, learn of, know, seek Her—Wisdom

Wisdom, “I am understanding “

“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Or ever the earth was.”

“Doth not wisdom cry? And understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way In the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors. Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things. For my mouth shall speak truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.

Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

I wisdom dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, And princes decree justice. By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; And those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; Yea, durable riches and righteousness.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; And I will fill their treasures.

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; When there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: When he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: When he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, That the waters should not pass his commandment: When he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; And my delights were with the sons of men.

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: For blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favour of the LORD.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.”

The so called friends of Job proved there was error, falsehood, darkness in their heart (mind) by the words they spoke (Read prior to this). Their words were true of some people, yes. But, their words spoken were not true of the character of Job because he had the character of God. They did not speak having the Holy Spirit, they did not have spiritual discernment.

Job is speaking the word of the Lord. This is a powerful chapter. I pray you seek God in Heaven for His Holy Spirit and study and glean, eat and be satisfied.

“But Job answered and said, Hear diligently my speech, And let this be your consolations. Suffer me that I may speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.

As for me, is my complaint to man? And if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth. Even when I remember I am afraid, And trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, are mighty in power? Their seed is established in their sight with them, And their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance. They take the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Lo, their good is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me. How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! And how oft cometh their destruction upon them!

God distributeth sorrows in his anger. They are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: He rewardeth him, and he shall know it. His eyes shall see his destruction, And he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off in the midst? Shall any teach God knowledge? Seeing he judgeth those that are high.

One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet. His breasts are full of milk, And his bones are moistened with marrow. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, And never eateth with pleasure.

They shall lie down alike in the dust, And the worms shall cover them. Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where are the dwelling places of the wicked? Have ye not asked them that go by the way? And do ye not know their tokens, That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done? Yet shall he be brought to the grave, And shall remain in the tomb. The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, And every man shall draw after him, As there are innumerable before him.

How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?”
‭‭Job‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation”

“How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

But I have trusted in thy mercy; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is an unseen line—a boundary

There is a time, we know not when, A place, we know not where; Which marks the destiny of men To glory or despair.

There is a line, by us unseen, Which crosses every path, Which marks the boundary between God’s mercy and his wrath.

To pass that limit is to die, To die as if by stealth; It does not dim the beaming eye, Nor pale the glow of health.

The conscience may be still at ease, The spirit light and gay; And that which pleases still may please, And care be thrust away.

But on that forehead God hath set/ Indelibly a mark; Unseen by man, for man as yet, Is blind and in the dark.

He feels perchance that all is well And every fear is calmed; He lives, he dies, he walks in hell, Not only doomed, but damned!

O, Where is that mysterious line That may by men be crossed, Beyond which God himself hath sworn, That he who goes is lost?

An answer from the skies repeats, “Ye who from God depart.”

TODAY, O hear His voice, TODAY repent and harden not your heart.

True faith, praying believing, faithfulness

“Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh.

And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there. And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: but unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

And Hannah answered and said, No, my Lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.

And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him. And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young. And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

And she said, Oh my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.”

Be a willing servant, an example

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Live the Light and not just do “lip service”. The change inside must be seen on the outside. “Ye shall know them by their fruits”. Teach truth in the daily living, and also in words spoken. This willingness and life witness is not just unto “Elders” but unto every disciple of Jesus Christ. We submit one to another being a keeper to each-other. We are to know the gospel we live and preach is truth and Christ in us—His righteousness. We help one another, pray for one another.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being Lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.”

Hear this, Word

“Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.”

Dead, or alive?

“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Living victory: Fulfill His joy

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Wherefore, 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. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”

Is your tongue speaking life or death?

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; And with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There was an old saying I heard as a child, many said it when they endured verbal abuse, threats: “Stick and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.”

Oh, but this is only true of the soul abiding in the Almighty YHW and He abides in them.

Otherwise, that verbal abuse is way worse, hurts more than being hit with sticks and stones because they are slowly being killed in the ways this abuse affects the health of the mind, body. They are slowly deteriorating. And because they truly do not love and know YHW; and, or they once did but walked away from Him—their trust is in their own heart and mind, listening to devils in their own voice being moved by emotions and not led of the Holy Spirit.

Sadly and tragically they listen to devils tell them to end their life, they will be free, and some are told of devils that they will be with the Lord and be saved—to go ahead and kill themselves, it is the only way; or told they will be with their dead loved ones in Heaven. Some, start drinking and doing drugs to sound out the devils, the hurt, trauma.

Many may not have listened to devils if those around them had been living the love walk of Eloheem in the Spirit instead of living after the flesh while doing lip service.

Truth is unto life.

Lies, error is unto death. Period.

Let us be fasting and praying for everyone the Lord has given us to pray for, even His, our enemies. We are to be interceding to the Lord, giving Him consent to intervene in the lives minds and bodies of souls who cannot get a prayer through themselves because of their unbelief, because of their blinded spiritual state.

They are in the house of the dead and don’t know it. We have to be praying seeking the Lord to break down and destroy strongholds, curses and generational curses. This also is a part of living the Law of YHW—the law of Love.

Time is wrapping up. Probation closing upon souls every day—souls no more.

The Holy Spirit is withdrawing from this earth. Run to safety—Christ our Lord our Savior. Speak life that we and others be saved.

True victory: Be as the deaf, the dumb

“They also that render evil for good Are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.”

“O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt Because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: And there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; And my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

For I am ready to halt, And my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. They also that render evil for good Are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.”

Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry.

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

Evil shall slay the wicked: And they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

Get it straight

Don’t get it twisted…

The Lord doesn’t go around speaking and not doing. He is faithful to us. But, We do have our part—Eloheem’s promised blessings are conditional. Go and read through them carefully led of His Holy Spirit. God says it all right out. He does not mix words.

Therefore, those promised blessings He has spoken will not come to pass if we do not meet His conditions. Period.

Stop turning your back on Eloheem claiming that He is not doing what He said He will do. Stop. Start looking at self. Are you doing what the Lord said His children are to do?

If we be His true children, His remnant—We obey Him, hearken to His voice. We are already saved of Him. We obey Him because obedient is what His remnant, His saved people are—YHW delivers us from sin. Our characters are a replica of His name, of His character—His name written in our heart (mind). It is Christ mind in us, not we ourselves—we cannot do nothing without Christ.

We love Him. We choose by faith to live our life in accordance to being governed by the Lord as well as being redeemed by Him.

YHW stands outside the door, knocking. He will not go in unless He is one hundred percent invited in. We must open the door all the way, invite Him in.

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬

Don’t ignore the “If ye”, if you do, the blessing YHW promised will not come to you—Don’t blame the Lord. Look at self.

Repent and be converted.

In the Rock, I am confident

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, They stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up, Above mine enemies round about me: Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take me up. Teach me thy way, O LORD, And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

“These are spots in your feasts of charity”

Remember, we were warned.

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And of some have compassion, making a difference: and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”

The penalty paid is not our victory

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The penalty Yeshuah paid for us is the second death so we would not have to die the second death. His victory over sin, over death opened up to us to choose to have victory over sin.

Overcoming sin and the power of sin is our victory by faith through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us both the will and to do Eloheem’s good pleasure. Yeshuah overcame sin, we shall too if our will is surrendered to His will, daily.

Yeshuah lived the example of obedience to His Holy Father through the Holy Spirit. He always obeyed His Father. We have the same access to the Holy Spirit as did Yeshuah. We shall overcome as He overcame.

Yeshuah paid the penalty. We won’t die the second death if we overcome sin through faith and the Holy Spirit as He gave us example.

We are saved by grace through faith. Without faith, we have no grace. Grace is not just pardon but Eloheem’s Power (Holy Spirit) to overcome as Yeshuah overcame.

All through the holy scriptures Eloheem requires strict obedience. Him allowing us our choices is simply that. We have free will. He will not override our choices—and every choice has consequences either unto blessings or curses. Period.

He gave us the best of everything but because we not having His discernmen, nor His faith—we chose to listen to devils telling us lies in our own voice and the voice of the ungodly (no matter their profession).

The name of Eloheem, His character cannot and will not be written in our forehead, in our heart (mind) as long as we want to hold on to anything or anyone contrary to His character, contrary to His will—His Word, no matter how minute it may seem.

Yeshuah is light and in Him is no darkness at all. He is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness. If He is in us through the Holy Spirit, we overcome sin. And we will be sealed. This is before Yeshuah comes in all His glory. When He comes, it is too late.

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we have Yeshuah’s righteousness, we don’t give in to the temptations of devils. It’s not us but Yeshuah in us through the Holy Spirit.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So they who are preparing daily, remaining giving up self to Eloheem daily (moment by moment), prays for His perfect hatred for sin—Through the Holy Spirit the good works of Eloheem are worked in us. We have His mind in us and His thoughts, His ways.

Yeshuah came and paid the penalty. He did not live obedience so we could still disobey Him and think we going to be delivered and enter His kingdom while keep yielding to the enemy of souls giving him more control.

Yeshuah’s salvation is deliverance from sin, from the power of sin. There is absolutely no one alive in these last days getting around obedience because obedience is loving Our Creator, Redeemer, our Savior. Disobeying Eloheem is hating Him.

If we choose disobedience to Eloheem on any point, including whatever is not given up to Him, holding on to that which one desires, speaking they sinning until Yeshuah comes—that’s a lie planted in the mind by devils.

When the soul is convicted of the Holy Spirit to stop doing, eating, drinking, dressing, living certain ways and is changed; then they stop filling the mind with the Word beholding Eloheem becoming changed—and they go back to what they were living, they sin against the Holy Spirit. They have returned to their vomit. They go to church on Yeshuah’s holy seventh day as if going is their “doing right” yet they are blinded by Satan—he is controlling them. Yeshuah is still on the outside of the soul knocking. Soon He will knock no more.

If one is not through the working of the Holy Spirit living the Word all the six days, they have no blessings of the holy sabbath of Eloheem. He commands to keep sabbath holy. If we not allowing Him through His Holy Spirit to make us holy in the six days—there is no keeping His holy seventh day—His sabbath holy. Period.

Many have deceived themselves.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But 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. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure 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.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And 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. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”

Let this mind be in you

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Wherefore, 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. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭16 KJV

Repent and be converted before it’s too late. The Holy Spirit is leaving, you won’t have access as before once the Holy Spirit is totally withdrawn, that is it. Don’t continue to be constant, consistent in your backsliding and rejection. Hurry, you don’t have much time.

The burden of the valley of vision

“The burden of the valley of vision.

What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy Lord’s house.

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.”

It was not an enemy, but they who said, “I love you”

“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

“As for me, I will call upon God; And the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: And he shall hear my voice. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: For there were many with me.” Pray for them, do good unto them because of the love of YHW, His Spirit—He put within us.

“Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked: For they cast iniquity upon me, And in wrath they hate me.

My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest. Lo, then would I wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest.

Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: For I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have born it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, My guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, And walked unto the house of God in company.

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: For wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

As for me, I will call upon God; And the LORD shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: And he shall hear my voice. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: For there were many with me. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: He hath broken his covenant. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: His words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.”

Whom shall I fear?

Wait upon the Lord, be of good courage. He will hide me in His pavilion. He will hide you too—just surrender your all to Him in Yeshuah’s name.

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, They stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up, Above mine enemies round about me: Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; Put not thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been my help; Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take me up.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

I had fainted, Unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”

How Excellent…

“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!”

By faith, believe—Love

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even 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.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

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

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.

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.

If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.”

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.”

Run this race by faith, with patience

The peace of God we have if we just “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.”

Unbelief, lack of faith: Entrance denied

“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years.”

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years.

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart; And they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”

“Set thine house in order”

“Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live”

“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, and said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.

And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.”

I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. O Lord, by these things men live, And in all these things is the life of my spirit: So wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD was ready to save me: Therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments All the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭38‬:‭9‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Why? How? What’s going on? I can’t see!

Deception literally causes chronic spiritual blindness, spiritual muteness. But why? How does deception come into existence in the heart (mind) causing all kinds of stinking thinking, and all manner of diseases?

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The questions are asked of you, or You ask: Why are you deceived? Or, why can’t you see that you are deceived? Why or how did you become blinded by Satan, by devils? Why can’t you hear? Why don’t you understand?

Biblically examine self and see if these things be true of you: Because of the time spent being idle; because of the time spent with devils in your watching, in your listening, in your talking, in your communications; in your gossiping, in your cursing, in your anger, in your selfishness, in your resentment, in your dress, in your adornment; in your motives in helping and giving , in you not helping and giving; in your reading, in your dinning with they who don’t seek truth but disregard, and don’t want it—you keep compromising trying to please them. Because of your choices in your eating and drinking, in your smoking (including vaping); in your drugs: In your daily (moment by moment) surrender to Satan instead of moment by moment surrender to the Creator and Redeemer—Because you have deceived your own-self being a hearer of the Word of God only, and not being a hearer and a doer of God’s Word, His Law. Because you keep turning back to your vomit. Because of your post and likes, and friends and those people you befriend and or follow on Social Media platforms; because you love your family, your relatives, your friends, your job more than you love God—you have the love of the world, the counterfeit love offered to you of Satan and you received it.

Many want to be saved but yet they do not want to be governed. They do not like obeying God because they want to do as they please—and yet speak with their lips that they love God, that He is working in them all the while they give devils more strongholds upon them by their surrendering their will to them. The devils come and go as they please, whenever they please—many times it seems as though the souls don’t even realize it, it seems as though they have no memory of their words and actions—this seems to be the case.

God did clean up and out the house of all devils, unclean spirits, cleaned out all unrighteousness several times when He was invited totally in, and asked to do so.

But, little by little, subtly self kept turning back, looking back, talking about the past—missing it, calling the past life in sin “the good old days”.

The soul did not fill their time with, their house—their mind with the Word of God, with heavenly things. The house was not filled with the Holy Spirit by asking God to put the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in them. Instead, the house—the mind was built by stealing God’s time using it to seek counsel from the ungodly . Their mind was given to devils—they planted thoughts in the mind of souls as they please. The time stollen from God is used to dine with devils disguised as angels of God, and also feasted on that which breakdown and destroys the life Christ died for. The time God gives is filled with listening to those sent by Satan to keep them bound, and turning back to their vomit.

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then 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. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God allows your choices, the true spiritual state of your heart: God will not override your will.

The hearing and doing of God’s Word, of His sayings, of His commandments do include His Ten Commandment Law: The Law of God’s Liberty and Love.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But 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.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Repent and be converted before it is too late.

Behold God in His Word and give up your will to His will, give up forfeiting your will over to being governed, controlled by Satan—give up yourself completely wholly to the Almighty God our Creator and Redeemer, our Savior.

If your will is to be delivered of God, to repent, to be converted, to have a perfect hatred for sin; and to overcome sin, be victorious, and glorify God in all you eat, in all you drink, and in all you do: God will intervene even though when you you try to call out to God the devils take over.

“And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea. And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭13‬, ‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Hurry, the time is almost gone for you to repent. Give up your will one-hundred percent to God. Choose life today! Choose life moment by moment—daily every day! Repent and be converted that your sins be blotted out. Repent and be converted, be born again. Hurry because your next breath, later today, tonight, tomorrow is not promised. Seek God now while He can be found.

The mind of the disobedient—wicked

There are various ways of living one’s life that is sin against God—The mirror reveals sin. The Ten Commandment Law of God is deep and broad covering every aspect of our choices in our daily living.

Many do not even think twice, they just live as they want disregarding God, period. Many think, speak, and do as if God knows nothing, as if God doesn’t have eyes and ears—they think that they do things in secret, even their plots to snare others, and, or their lies to others about their day to day activities, etcetera—their coverups of their wrongs. Many think because they visit the sick, visit the incarcerated, feed the hungry “food”, give the poor “clothing”; and because they do nice or kind things that are that which they say are “good”—they think and say they, or these will be saved. This is a lie from Satan—he has planted this lie in the heart (mind).

Remember, the wicked, the sinner choosing to remain in their sins, and for sin to remain in them—these are not good, non are good because Christ is not in them. Remember, in all his thoughts are: There is no God. In the heart (mind) of these, the disobedient—all their thoughts are: There is no God.

“The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, And blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: For I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: Under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: In the secret places doth he murder the innocent: His eyes are privily set against the poor.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, That the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: He hideth his face; he will never see it.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭10‬:‭2-11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Psalm 36:1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Turn away from your wickedness. Turn to God. Repent and be converted before it is too late.

Another warning!

This could be your last chance, your last opportunity.

Time is almost finished!

Where are you? What are you thinking? What are you doing?!!!

Don’t receive the curses. Turn to God before it’s too late. Some are cursed already—seek God now to be healed and made whole and receive God’s deliverance from sin—receive His blessings. Seek deliverance, seek freedom from the bondage of sin—from curses and generational curses.

Take heed:

“These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them: and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: that thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: that he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; but with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: (for ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations;

lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

the LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law: so that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it; and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: for they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

and the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭29‬:‭1‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Woe unto you!

Time is almost finished. Surrender self-will to the will of God. Turn away from your wicked ways, turn to God. Repent and be converted. Hurry, the time in which one will be able to seek and find Him is almost gone. Choose Christ now, moment by moment, daily.

“Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

Warning! Warning!

Hear this:

“God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭23‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭31‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ KJV

Don’t put your trust in the worldly, ungodly. Don’t seek counsel from the ungodly. Don’t sit and dine with, nor keep company with them.

Put your trust in God, give up yourself to God before it is too late. Hurry, repent and be converted. The time to seek and find God is almost gone.

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree.

From me is thy fruit found. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.”

You will not need to fight in this battle

When we are dead to self daily, totally wholly given up self to God, to the will of God; when we abide in Christ, His word abides in us; when we have the mind of Christ in us—When He has put the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in us: We will not have to fight the battles of life in this world because God fights for us—We stand still and see the salvation of the Lord God. We are God’s witnesses that He is God. The battle is not ours to fight, but it is the Lord’s.

The waster destroys. God seeks to save the lost that desire to be saved.

When the soul chooses to turn away, join with darkness and make covenant with them—they remove themselves from God’s protection. They now will fight themselves. But, they in Lord are protected—the enemy cannot touch them unless the Lord allows it. HalleluYah.

“It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi. And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, and said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation; and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not your’s, but God’s.

To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about. And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.”

We, Israel

We begin with us, we look into the mirror of the Ten Commandment Law of God. We measure ourselves by the Word, and no one else, nothing else. We are to be God’s witnesses. God shows us our own heart that we know it and see and know our need of Christ. We give up governing ourselves to God—that He rule and govern us. He came that we be saved not lost. He only has victory, He never fails, He is never overcome but He is an overcomer. If He be in us, we shall overcome. By faith, in all we eat, drink, and in all we do—We are to glorify God. Then we can teach and preach with our lives and tongue the Gospel of Jesus: The power of God unto salvation: Righteousness by faith.

God is clear that His commandments are to be kept by His people. Now if one says God’s commandments are for the Jews/abolished/etc… you are calling God a liar. (Please know who the Jews or Israel is, and know who they that are grafted-in are.

God says He does not lie, His Word cannot be reversed, not one jot or tittle in no wise pass from the law. God says He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill. So how can He destroy that which He said He came to fulfill and not destroy not abolish—God establishes His law. To fulfill is He lived His law and example unto us. Christ lived His Father’s character He was obedient to God, to His Father’s every word. Christ the Word—He always obeyed His Father. Christ fulfilled giving us example that the same Power by which He obeyed God the Father; so have we the same access to this same Power to obey Him, His Father by faith and by the Holy Spirit.

God is clear that keeping His commandments is how we know Him, how we know we love Him; how we know we love one another—if we keep His commandments. His promised blessings unto His children are conditional, we have to meet the condition to every promised blessing of God—Not just ask for it claiming it. God requires exact, strict obedience to His word.

God says: “Blessed 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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God says over and over and over throughout His word to keep His commandments and over and over and over again He repeats in the New Testament—He is clear that His Righteous, His Saints keep His commandments and they are not grievous, but are a delight.

God is clear in teaching that His commandments are His love, they are true, they are truth, they are righteousness, they are holy, they are perfect. God’s word is His doctrine, His culture which becomes our new culture if we are new creatures living, abiding in Christ.

One cannot and will not have the love of God without keeping His commandments, no one not keeping them will enter into the gates in heaven—only they who keep the commandments have right to the tree of life.

They who say there are only two commandments and not Ten—these err in the scriptures and have not the understanding of the Holy Spirit. These do not understand that the two are magnified in the ten, the two are the summary of the ten. God says on these Two (love God and love one another) hang all Ten. God says these two are not new but they are they which we have from the beginning.

God’s name, character, glory are all synonymous of who God is, His character—His commandments are the handwriting in our minds our DNA if you will—they show the fruit proving whose fruit we are of. The holy 7th Day Sabbath of God being the identifying mark of DNA in which the commandments are manifested.

God gave us His love in His commandments for us a blessing that we know Him and love Him, therefore, we love one another. God gave us His commandments a blueprint of the blessing unto us and they are not grievous but a delight to those who love His law.

God’s Ten Commandment Law is His law of love, His law of liberty of freedom from slavery, from bondage to Satan to sin.

The law of God is only a burden, grievous to them who are under the law—condemned by the law, for they live transgressing the law of God. The law only condemns those who are against God at enmity with God having no love for God holding on to sin giving into the temptations (temptation is not sin—giving in to the temptation, surrendering to that which you are tempted is sin). These live self-righteousness, their way. These obey self, self-perceptions based on their own will, ways, words, wants. These are self pleasers, and can also be men-pleasers—compromising God’s principles to please others. They live by the world’s standards or their own. To these the law points out their dirt and filth in, or on them—the law of God a mirror showing to the one looking in it the true state of their character, the true spiritual state of their minds. These have the characteristics of Satan the Devil.

Christ said our righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees. The Pharisees did not obey the commandments of God. They obeyed the commandments of men, and their own traditions. Remember that.

The covenant that God said He writes in our hearts (mind) is the law of God, they are one and the same. The venue is what changed, and it’s still Christ in us through the Holy Spirit, that we by faith having surrendered daily our will to the will of God, that we can keep all of God’s commandments.

See, the works of faith involve believing in God that He is God. The works of faith prove in who the soul believes and that believing is the life reflecting the ways of God whom the soul loves—which is obeying God, by faith living by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God by the power of the Holy Spirit working in the soul—The Holy Spirit gives us both the will and to do God’s good pleasure.

The faith of works is obedience which is love. Faith and works cannot be separated and are a reflection of love unto obedience to God. Faith, works. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. We are saved by grace through faith. Without faith, there is no grace. This grace is both God’s merit and His Power—the Holy Spirit He puts in us—ask, knock, and receive.

Though you may have faith to remove mountains, you are nothing if you do not have Agape (the love of God). The Holy Spirit is the One Who works this in the willing cooperative soul. God does not force. So if one wants to hold on to even the tiniest, minute sin; God will allow the soul his, or her choice. Do not believe the lie Satan whispers in the ear in one’s own voice “thou shalt not surely die”, disobedience to the law of God to the word of God, is sin. Sin is transgression of the law of God. The wages of sin is death. Just because you do not feel it, or do not experience symptoms right away it is not that you will not die; and it is not that the law is abolished. Period.

The Word of God is true. What He says He does. What He has spoken comes to pass. That is what every living creature can count on for sure and know that it is true—the word of God which His children are to live: to live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

We are to take heed of God’s warnings and seek Him that we receive His grace (His Power) to meet the conditions to receive His blessings as we live in this earth—being His witnesses that He is God, and glorifying God.

Justification is only the beginning of the surrendered life to God. There is the soul’s daily walk. Christ blood makes it possible that when we confess our sins to Him, He forgives and cleanses us from all unrighteousness right there, right then. We all are already saved: saved from the PENALTY of sin: Christ died the second death for us that we will not have to. But, if your choice is to hold on to the old you, the old ways, hold on to sin; God will allow your choice, one will die the second death themselves—suffer the penalty of sin themselves.

We confess, surrender to God being justified accepting His gift; then we must go on in being new creatures in Christ putting away the old man. We are to die to self daily and take up our cross and follow Jesus. We choose by the faith that God has given us to daily give up self, surrender up to God our will to His will and know and trust it is by His Power—by the Holy Spirit in us that we can abide in God and His word abide in us—Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

Christ in you (us), the hope of glory.

I am available for Bible Study late afternoon, and on Sundays after 2pm but before 6.pm EST. Bible study is no longer than an hour unless the Holy Spirit moves otherwise. Come let us reason one with another in the holy scriptures led of the Holy Spirit of God, not debating nor arguing.

God’s word defines and explains itself—precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

We ain’t seen nothing yet!

Run to safety—run to the safety of the Almighty YHW. Hurry, time is almost finished.

All these calamities, terrible acts of violence; that which is taking life is the effects, the results of sin. No one will be able to stop that which will come upon this earth. The Holy Spirit is withdrawing from this earth—The protection of the Holy Spirit will be removed from the earth—there is no one nor nothing that will stop the results of sin taking over the earth until the appointed time of Christ return.

We are at this time, in these times, and worse to come—we are to pray earnestly, be compassionate, help where and if we can empowered by the Holy Spirit. We, without God, are no match for Satan- without God, Satan will destroy us all- period. Our greatest need is the Holy Spirit, that our focus be on God—look up.

We need to know God, love God. We are to know the character of God which is the last message for this time, such a time as this—for a dying world. Through racism, politics, etcetera Satan is succeeding in distracting people away from the very source of their rescue, their source of life—God.

To know God is to know His character. If one does not know His character, they will be deceived by the enemy of God—Satan. It is sin (Transgression of the law of God. Disobeying God’s law, His commands) that invites the enemy of souls to put forth his power of destruction—Satan destroys, brings disease, calamities, pestilences, etcetera.

The world has rejected God and is rejecting God. God will not force one’s obedience to Him—obeying God is to love God: If ye love me, keep my commandments.

The world, God’s profess children accuse God and give Him ownership of what they label as “good” or “bad”, or what they perceive as “blessings” from God—but is just Satan reeling them into his web; or what they perceive as “God’s will” death, disease, calamities—Oh all who do this are deceived by Satan and are sinning against God and are obeying their father the Devil.

God will not force His way in, He stands outside the door and knocks, He will not enter unless we invite Him in. And He will not remain in if there is any sin that we will not give up to Him. He cannot cleanse us of sin if we don’t want to give it up to Him that He may cleanse the Sanctuary from sin. Any sin that remains in the Sanctuary by one’s will not to give it up, Jesus cannot forgive, will not cleanse, and will not blot out.

We are to have a perfect hatred for sin. This is only given us by way of the Holy Spirit.

Please understand that it is sin, the Devil that is the cause of all that we see ugly and horrifying and terrible in this world. It may not be one’s own sin but someone else’s sin—but the results of sin still come to pass regardless.

God is our Creator and Redeemer—Jesus died the second death. Will we cause the agony He suffered and endured for us to be in vain? Total separation from His Father—God, that is what that agony is that Christ suffered.

We need the baptism of the Holy Spirit daily. We need to die to self daily—moment by moment. We need to ask God to help our unbelief and to increase our faith. We need to seek Hod for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that we be empowered to walk with God as Christ, as Enoch walked with God; to proclaim the Gospel with power and authority as John the Baptist—to daily surrender up self-will to the will of God, to walk in, after the Spirit and not after the flesh.

We need to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that we be empowered by the Holy Spirit that we be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we be not conformed to this world.

The work of salvation in the soul, the understanding of the word of God comes from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our power and strength and by that which we will be made holy as our Father in heaven is holy. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we will walk with God, how we will observe and to do His commandments, how we will live righteously before God. Do we seek, knock, ask God daily, even moment by moment for His Holy Spirit?

If one’s choice is to hold on to even the tiniest speck of sin, whether it be intemperance in anything, or in what they eat and drink, or how they dress, their thoughts, how they talk to others and what conversations they involve themselves in; or whether they are not compassionate, not kind, not forgiving; or if they covet, commit adultery in any form; or whether they lie, start mess, or gossip, or fornicate, are idle, speak idle words, etcetera the Holy Spirit cannot transform these souls—Christ cannot live in them and through them via the power of the Holy Spirit.

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Christ cannot and will not dwell within nor be connected to or with anyone who will not give up all sin—if they want to be married to the Devil, to sin, to self; if they will remain married to the old man—they commit adultery against God, they cannot be married to Christ.

God will give you your choice by turning His face from you and allowing you your choice. And just so you are not confused or that you not get it twisted, living righteously, holy before God is what the work of the Holy Spirit does in the soul that truly wants God to dwell within, in the soul that totally gives up all sin, self to God. The process of sanctification after complete surrender to God daily moment by moment—Not works to be saved; but the work of salvation by God the Holy Spirit not one’s self. God gives the faith that is needed to please God, that one be saved by that grace through faith, the Gospel—the power of God unto salvation, is given by God.

One forfeits all true blessings from God when they choose self when they choose sin.

God said He will deliver us from evil, He will keep us from falling. God does not and will not lie. You call Him a liar if you doubt or if you do not believe that He will do exactly what He says.

Choose ye this day Who you will serve: God or Satan.

Let no man deceive you, be not deceived

“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Let love…

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Dwell together, in unity

These have the mind of Christ, being in one accord. They no longer fellowship with, nor are in darkness; but, they are in the Lord being children of light.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard: That went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, And as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: For there the LORD commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭133‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.”

Abide, in the True Vine

“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.”

By faith and the Holy Spirit, we abide in the True Vine and the True Vine abides in us. The faith of Jesus incorporates obedience to God—knowing God, Obeying God is loving God, sweet liberty in Him by Him. If we are not obeying God, His love is not in us. Obeying God is not legalism. We cannot obey God unless His Spirit is in us. Obedience to God is the fruit of His love, His character in us: We walk after the Spirit, not after the flesh.

If you love me, keep my commandments: The mind of Christ in us through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us both the will, and to do God’s good pleasure. Pray to God seeking knocking asking for the Holy Spirit. HalleluYah.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 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. 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. 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. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

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

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Remember 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 your’s also.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If you are free, Be not entangled again

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.”

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”

Who is the builder of your house?

“Except the LORD build the house, They labour in vain that build it: Except the LORD keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.”

Are you building your house or by your faith choice—Is God building your house—physically and spiritually?

The physical and spiritual house is to be built upon the Solid Rock, the Chief Corner Stone. Unless God be the builder of the house, the house surely, definitely will fall.

Pray to God believing, confessing and repenting, by the Holy Spirit we will do the work of repentance, redeem the time. Pray seeking God to break generational curses—The fervent effectual prayers of the righteous availeth much. Believe God. Live by faith sacrificing self daily unto God. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

“Except the LORD build the house, They labour in vain that build it: Except the LORD keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: For so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; So are children of the youth.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭127‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬

We are God’s heritage and our parents, their parents, etcetera—Who built the house? Are we, are they in the Ark of safety? I ask again, Who is the builder of your house—the house being us and our family unit each individual in our home—spiritually and physically?

Let us pray believing God, confessing and repenting—giving God consent to intervene in the lives of our children, and as we pray interceding for our parents, and siblings etcetera—The fervent effectual prayer of the righteous availeth much, and let us redeem the time because the days are evil—let us walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

We are they praying to God, watching and praying, interceding giving God consent to intervene in the lives and minds and bodies of they who cannot get a prayer through to God. And let us pray without ceasing.

I ask again, WHO is the builder of your house—physically and spiritually?

At the set time, it is

“For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.”

I don’t know about you, but I trust God more and more as I read studying His law—His whole Word. What He says, He does. What God speaks, it comes to pass. Every word that went forth out of the mouth of God, He will not and He cannot reverse—God does not change. We can know that His Word, it is.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

And Abraham said, I will swear. And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well. Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them. Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

And Abraham planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines’ land many days.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When Abraham did what was right in the eyes of God, He did it by faith and so his faith is accounted unto him, righteousness.

In the matter of Hagar and his seed, Ismael—God told him to hearken unto the voice of his wife, Sarah—do as she said, send Hagar and his son, Ismael away. Now, look at this led of the Holy Ghost: And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. (Study on). The lad called out to God! He was the seed of Abraham! God heard his cry, and opened the eyes of his mother and used her in healing Ismael with the water from the well. God’s Word fulfilled that He promised Abraham.

There is deeper yet, so much more—Will you dive into God’s Word?

He didn’t learn…

Do you get it?

“And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake. And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.”

The lingering

Lot and his daughters were delivered from death in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, yet the side affects of their environment, Lot lingering—took root.

“And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; and he said, Behold now, my Lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways.

And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, and said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. And they said, Stand back.

And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.”

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD?”

“And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; and he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also?

And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.”

The condition , the promise

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.”

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”

Did you, Will you answer His call?

Many are called but, few are chosen—because they do not answer God when He calls them.

“I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; a people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.

These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”

Death is at the door

Don’t take the holy things of God to use as you please. The consequences of defiling God’s holy things, His holy people—death is at the door. Remember, our body is also to be God’s holy temple—one can’t choose to live their own way and at the same time think to speak that they love God. No. That is ludicrous.

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.”

“Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his Lords, and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.

Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.

And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his Lords were astonied.

Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his Lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: there is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. Then was Daniel brought in before the king.

And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: and I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: and for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: and he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy Lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.”

“I will give it…”

“Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.”

I can take that to the bank! Than You Holy Father in Jesus name.

“And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.”

Faith—blessings, otherwise—consequences

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.

And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife. And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.”

Watch, be sober

Children of the Day, children of light: Watch and be sober.

We are sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

We are in the Lord and He is in us. We, the children of the Day, the children of light—We know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night unto those who are asleep, to those who are children of the Night, to children of darkness, to children in darkness; to those who are drunken; to those who are blind; to those who are deceived, to those who have deceived themselves.

We comfort ourselves in the Lord. We edify one another in the Lord. We live together in the Lord. We do not sleep as do others sleep. We are sober—watching and praying.

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The man of faith is born

The man of faith (Abraham), and the man with a lack of faith (Lot) are born—both of which came out of the generation of Shem.

“These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: and Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: and Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: and Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: and Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.

But Sarai was barren; she had no child. And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.”

“By these were the nations divided”

“Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.”

The choice given: Life or death

God always gives us the choice of life or death. He does not for us to choose life—His will is that we choose life.

“And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The token

“And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant.

And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.”

In the end of the end, there came another beginning

“And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: and he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

The door is shut

The door is shut, probation has closed. The end has come for those who had no faith, who did not obey God because they had not surrendered one hundred percent to Him that He could fill them with His love.

The living that were in the Ark were saved—saved by grace through faith.

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; they, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: all in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.”

Let go, let God

We won’t bow down! Period!

This faith right here! This love and loyalty to God! We will have to stand as these young men did. Yes, one day very soon. Will we? I pray we will in Jesus name.

“Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.”

Sin, at the door

“If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.”

“And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel.

And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.

And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If 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.

And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.

And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: For I have slain a man to my wounding, And a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.”

Creation finished

The Creator finished creating in six days. He rested the seventh day because His work ended. He blessed and sanctified the seventh day.

The generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created are also chronicled. Everything man would need God created first. Then Created man (both man and woman).

The role of Adam (both the man and the woman) joined together one by God is explained that we know our roles as we live in this earth governed by God, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Lord, our God. He gave man dominion over all He created.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: on the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.”

The Word, speaks

“yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.” “and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.”

“Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: and even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.”

The law so many want to do away with, abolish; the law so many are deceived in believing is “salvation by works” is the very law they will be judged by—revealing their works: hatred for God even though they professed love (it wasn’t God’s love); disobedience, yielding to Satan, living one’s own way, having one’s own interpretation, being men and self pleasers, loving the world and the things of the world, being lukewarm, double minded they reveal that their mind is perverted, controlled by Satan having his character, having not the faith of Jesus, being corruptible, being corrupted they do not have God’s love, nor His Spirit.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Are we—you and I, ready? Are we by faith married to God now—daily making ourselves ready for the marriage?

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation—righteousness by faith. We in the old self, the old man is dead. The soul is now a new creature and all things old are passed away—all things are become new. YHW lives in us through the Holy Spirit—Jesus mind is in us—the hope of glory. If YHW is living in us daily (moment by moment), We are living His righteousness in all we eat, drink, and in all we do—We do all to the glory of God. He makes the faithful ready. God cannot and will not fail.

“And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.

These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: the merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

The judgement upon the great whore

“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of Lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

Know who this is, know what organization they are of, over—know who it is that gives them this power to persecute, kill the saints of God, and to kill those who worship the beast and its image. All the world (they not written in the book of life) wonder after, worship the beast, the image of the beast.

There is war in the earth against those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus—All Ten of the Commandments of God’s law of liberty, love. This war is against those who love God supremely and only worship Him—Creator and Redeemer, and only obey God’s voice—these are the remnant of God. There is only one remnant. The dragon is wroth with the woman, and the remnant of her seed.

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.”

Eat the book—prophecy again

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.”

Pray and be educated of God who is our Creator and Redeemer and He knows what is best. Know God’s will. Our knowledge needs to be from God. We are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.

Watch, listen, hear. Be blessed.

Look at what she learned about the body God so fearfully and wonderfully made! God has put this mechanism in the body! If our body is given the right conditions (according to the Word of God), The body will heal itself just as God created it to do.

Silence…

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”

The four angels standing on the four corners of the earth hold back the winds until all the servants of God are sealed. And there are one hundred forty and four thousand servants of God sealed with the seal of God.

“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen:

Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

To live this is to be the richest in all the world

Living our best life!!!

We can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us.

Can’t nobody, can’t nothing take this away unless we let them.

When Satan uses those who are our kinfolk, our spouse, our children including grandchildren; our “friends”, and even strangers, enemies to tear us down, to break us, when Satan tries to take our faith by whatever means: We best be living in expectancy of God, knowing every day His Word is done, knowing before we call He answers, while we are yet speaking He hears; that when we call, He immediately intervenes, He immediately inhabits our praise. We best know that His Word is done, thank Him. God is an on time God, He does everything, all things decent and in order. This is unto His righteous. “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, And his ears are open unto their prayers: But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.”
‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God’s Holy Spirit in us causes us to:

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This is fulfilling the Word of God, and the law of God’s love—His Ten Commandment law, His law of liberty. This is how we know we have the love of God and how we know that we love God, and how we know that we love others as we love ourselves—even how we know that we love ourselves: We keep His commandments, we keep God’s commandments and they are not grievous—we delight in living unto God being governed and ruled by God. We delight in Him, we purpose to, we are intentionally dying daily, and take up our cross and follow Jesus—living by faith, by the power of the Holy Ghost. This is living our best life! HalleluYah!!!

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We love the sinner, hate the sin. Yet, we do not make light of sin letting emotions rule (flesh) over the Spirit of God making excuses for, compromising and giving in to temptation. No! Loving the sinner is praying for them, doing unto them as we would want them to do to us. Give them the Living Water from the Well that shall never run dry. Clothe them with the Word of God, feed them the Bread of Life, lead them to the Shelter from the storm; lead them to the One who can give them the gift of repentance, if they receive it and repent and if by faith will do the works of repentance—God the life giver shall convert them, save them.

We ask, seek, and knock for the Holy Spirit. We by faith live this! We know God’s Word is done. His Word does not return unto Him void. We thank Him. Period. That faith of Jesus to know God’s Word is done. Just simply thank Him, having no doubt!

Receive of God, and put on His whole armor and never, do not ever take it off.

At every fiery dart of the wicked no matter who they may be: Pray, Father forgive them for they know not what they do, lay it not to their charge. By the power of the Holy Ghost you give me, put in me, Who inhabits me, dwells in me—I do unto them that which I would have them to do to me. This I will do unto them by the faith of Jesus through the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit). Thank You Holy Father in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen.

Its done. Keep thanking God. It is Christ in us, Christ righteousness in us, HalleluYah!!! This is the Holy Spirit at work! This is being transformed by the renewing of our mind. This is God restoring us unto His image after His likeness. This is God giving us that way of escape out of temptation. Only God! Only God! And we are victorious in Jesus!!!

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Blessed and holy is the Almighty YHW!

“But 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; that 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. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

“Behold, the days come”

“Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.”

The seals are opened. Who shall be able to stand?

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

Who can open the book? Who? Who is worthy…?

“And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”

“Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: and hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He 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 tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Read, hear, and keep

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.”

Do not fear

No matter what, do not fear—“Be still and know that I am God”. God is our refuge, our strength, a very present help in trouble. No one, nothing can beat, overcome, stop, outdo God. Period. Trust in Him. Believe Him. Take God at His word.

“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, What desolations he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

No faith—no Power

Faith moves God, the power of the Holy Spirit . Without faith, not one soul can be healed, including demons cast out. Without faith, no soul can be delivered from sin, from eternal death; no soul can have true victory over sin over Satan—no soul can be made free. Without faith, no soul can have true love, true joy, true happiness, and true peace—the true only comes from God.

“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

To know and to not do, is sin. If we have not the faith of Jesus, we truly have no power to move forward. If we are preaching and teaching the Word, Truth yet have no faith—We have no Power. That’s why the masses are leaving the church (the body of Christ—the people of God).

Many are of no faith, they are being entertained by they who truly have not the faith of Jesus—and the entertainment they receive, they being deceived call it “power” “a good message” “a powerful sermon”. There is no change in the life. They move from living by emotions. The Holy Spirit is not there, is not dwelling within the soul, is not present in their meeting places. They remain faithless, going through a form of godliness on Sabbath, but all six days live unto self, are men pleasers, are full of pride, and full of Satan’s narcissistic character—yet saying “I have a relationship with God”, but being deceived, they are blind and are in the night, fallen in the ditch and don’t even know the god they serve and say they have a relationship with is the devil, are devils, is Satan.

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we are not becoming changed by beholding God in His Word, if a soul has one foot in the Lord and one foot outside of Him; if a soul is on the fence, if a soul is all the time giving in to temptations—giving Satan more and more power over their mind—it is one’s own choice having no faith that brings defeat instead of victory. Just giving in and giving up is not struggling. Fighting the good fight is not giving in. It is, “above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:16. By grace, and through faith we are saved. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Without faith, there is no grace.

The Holy Spirit works mightily by our faith choice to believe on Jesus—this is action, the daily walk with God, obeying Him, His law is written in our heart (mind). We live His righteousness because by faith we abide in Him, and it is that we do because Jesus is abiding in us. How? Through the Holy Spirit.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭2‬, ‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Faith, simply take YHW at His word, know the Word is true—His Word is done. Period. Believe Him. Behold Him in His Word and become changed. Repent and be converted. Wait upon the Lord. Watch and pray. Be not deceived.

Live not the example of unbelief

Live not the example of unbelief—wrong doing, disobedience: hating God, loving the enemy of souls, making excuses for sin, speaking to justify sin, etcetera.

If we believe Jesus, we are abiding in Him and His word is abiding in us, He is abiding in us—His Holy Spirit is in us: We live under God’s government. God has a way of living: holy, righteous, godly, right doing—hating sin, hating iniquity, hating transgression, hating evil, hating idolatry in every form shape and fashion; hating unrighteousness, hating ungodliness, hating unholiness, hating wickedness, hating disobedience, hating gossip, hating resentment, hating tale bearing, hating anger, hating killing, hating murder, hating unforgiveness, hating idleness, hating talking too much; hating idle words, hating hypocrisy, hating double-mindedness, etcetera.

One who is condemned is first condemned of themselves. They proceed in placing blame, speaking to receive sympathy but that sympathy, feeling sorry for—is based on one’s own struggles with giving into the temptations of Satan—giving into temptation is about self satisfying self.

Self is not dead. Self is not by faith dying daily (everyday moment by moment). These souls professed and proclaimed, did lip service—they were speaking God but He was not in them—These souls did not, do not count the cost before committing to building the house.

These souls instead of going to God to examine self—they speak to justify why this or that, or justifying why not this or that; the majority of the time it is because of someone else why the said or did something or because of something, but they do not look at themselves, they don’t take responsibility for their own choices.

The Spirit of God does not work like that. That is the spirit of manipulation, deceit, condemnation, self-indulgence, intemperance, self-righteousness, “I’m do what I want to do, but…” making their choices, their words, their actions about someone else as to why they make the choices they do—the very character of Satan—narcissism.

Satan does what people call good, nice: he gives things like cars, money, house, clothes, raises, so-called food, etcetera. Satan speaks some so-called nice, seemingly sweet kind lovely words: But they are truth and error mingled. Without the discernment of God, souls cannot distinguish, cannot determine, cannot discern, cannot not know what is Truth from what is error, lies, deceitful; the Spirit of God from devils, from unclean spirits, from demons.

Many of God’s people are being distracted by Satan through his many tactics to keep God’s people from living the gospel of Jesus enduring unto the end being saved: Living Christ righteousness by the power of the Holy Spirit by our faith—being delivered from sin. If Satan can keep us distracted, then that is the soul yielding to the enemy’s temptations. The more souls yield, giving into Satan—the more power is given Satan over them to rule them to control their thoughts, words, and actions.

The Word of God is very clear. The Word speaks hard sayings, nevertheless they are true: The truth is still the Truth whether we accept, receive, live it by faith choice or, not.

Let us not give in to Satan, to devils by contemplating upon thoughts they plant, or by their tactics to gain entrance into and control of our minds.

Our mind is where only the Godhead is to dwell through the Holy Spirit.

Let us keep the Word ever before us, measure first self by the Word, as we discern whether something and, or someone is of God. If they are not, let us pray to God in Jesus name speaking and claiming life on them. Let us not join in giving the work of Satan any attention. And let us not make excuses for sin, nor make light of sin because of letting the emotions rule, lower passions rule instead of the mind of Christ that is to be in us.

God bless us.

Best remember, if not—know your end

Children of no faith do not remember the God that saved them, healed them—so they go and walk in darkness and are fallen; they are led in error and fall into the ditch and don’t realize it—because they have no faith having let Satan steal it. They let Satan take their faith. They didn’t care about giving up their faith for to satisfy self.

“Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender herb, And as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: Ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: For all his ways are judgment: A God of truth and without iniquity, Just and right is he.

They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: They are a perverse and crooked generation.

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thy elders, and they will tell thee.

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people According to the number of the children of Israel. For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

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. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, Fluttereth over her young, Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, Beareth them on her wings: So the LORD alone did lead him, And there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, That he might eat the increase of the fields; And he made him to suck honey out of the rock, And oil out of the flinty rock; Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: Thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; Then he forsook God which made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; To gods whom they knew not, To new gods that came newly up, Whom your fathers feared not.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgotten God that formed thee. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, Because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very froward generation, Children in whom is no faith.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32‬:‭1‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is a remnant

“I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.

Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is one Remnant—and They are also called Israel—the people of God. God’s people Israel, God’s Remnant have His Holy Spirit in them, and therefore, they have the mind of Christ. His love is in them. These keep all His commandments including keeping God’s holy Sabbath holy (the seventh day, now known as Saturday).

But there are also tares within the Remnant (Israel) right now. The wheat and tares are together in the churches (the people of God and the professed of God). Many of Israel or the Remnant are in Babylon right now, God is and has been for a long while calling them out of Babylon and back to Himself into His Remnant. In the very end, there will stand the remnant from the Remnant.

There are they in the Remnant now that are not going to remain—and some will continue to profess that they are God’s Remnant but their hypocrisy will be revealed.

“Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God’s Remnant even right now are these:“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

“Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬, ‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

These people are known by their name, people of the Book—these are a small number compared to the masses that profess to be God’s. They are attacked because of the love of God He puts in their heart (mind), because of their name, because by faith and the Holy Spirit they keep all God’s Ten Commandment law, because they (the true) know Who they belong to, they know Who they serve; they know the truth because the Truth abides in them because they first by faith abide in Him. This church (people of the One True God) of God live by faith by every word that procedeeth out of the mouth of God not by their might but by the Power of God He put within them. This people of God live the gospel of Jesus Christ because they have the righteousness of Jesus Christ within them. These are the just that live by faith.

Because God is their life, because they give up their very existence to God, seek God to govern and to rule them, to inhabit them living in, through and for them—they are hated of men, persecuted for righteousness sake; they are called fanatics, even called devils. They are ridiculed, slandered, tortured, envied, even killed. God says they are blessed. God has blessed them. When Jesus lived in this earth, many did not receive Him, called Him the devil, lied on Him, persecuted Him, tortured Him, sought to kill Him.

You may be one of those persecuting the Remnant right now being in the world, being in Babylon, and they in her under the law, “and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬-7 KJV. God is calling you out “Come out of her my people”.

God is calling His people to be in His Remnant. God says He has many not of this fold, they will come out of Babylon, out of the woman from which they’ve been drunken. Sadly, many of the Remnant of Israel shall leave Him, leave His true church (His true people Israel or His Remnant) because they had itching ears, they backslid thinking they could come back, or they think they have time and will come into God’s Remnant later—but they shall never return.

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Are you daily preparing, getting ready that you be ready and in this remnant from the Remnant?

Oh we best be. There is no excuse. Probation will soon close upon the living. The dead, their probation closed when they died—their case was already decided. Jesus Christ comes with His reward:

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭26‬-‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Whether in the grave and resurrected in that day, or whether the living—there is the remnant from the Remnant that are the recipients of God’s reward of eternal life. There is only one church (body of Christ, people of God) that keep all the commandments of God, they have the testimony of Jesus, they have the faith of Jesus.

How we are walking now determines our end and reward.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Romans 11:5 KJV

“In the last days”

“The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

“My hope is in thee”

“I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me. I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; And my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: Then spake I with my tongue.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; That I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; And mine age is as nothing before thee: Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee. Deliver me from all my transgressions: Make me not the reproach of the foolish. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; Because thou didst it. Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; Hold not thy peace at my tears: For I am a stranger with thee, And a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go hence, and be no more.”

“this do in remembrance of me”

Simply obey, if we love Him because He first loved us—it is God’s love for without Him, we have no love.

“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.”

Some will depart, But…

“but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”

Listen to the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭12‬, ‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Godliness will bring reproach because we trust in the living God. We by faith, the power of the Holy Spirit God puts in us—live godliness, if we are truly believers, if we are truly by faith one hundred surrendered of self-will to the will of God (by faith self is dying daily). We are God’s witnesses: So, we by faith live the example of God before all they about, around, before us. We are God’s witnesses that He has done this good work in us. God builds up the waste places; God plants that which was desolate and it springs up and is a green tree—living righteousness by faith that God gives and increases—We know that godliness, holiness, righteousness is Christ in us through His Holy Spirit and not we ourselves because we can do nothing without God.

Living righteousness by faith does bring reproach and sufferings and persecution. God says it’s better it come for righteousness rather than for unrighteousness.

“having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ KJV

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.”

United or divided?

A house divided will fall and not stand. Know that eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ who God sent.

The house divided only takes one going outside of God’s will—the devils enter and seek to take over the house. They were invited in.

By faith, choose God, surrender self one hundred percent to God holding on to nothing contrary to His Word, His character. How do we know His Word, His will, His character? As we die daily, (give-up, surrender all of self to God’s will—His Word) seek God daily for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—behold God in His Word daily. By beholding, we become changed.

Be a house united, of one accord, abiding in God, His Word abiding in us. We bring forth much fruit for without Him we can do nothing.

Be not a house divided because we will not stand but will fall, be lost if there is no godly sorrow for our own ways, and no departure from sin which separates from God.

“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”

Why are they leaving…?

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Why are they leaving …?

Why are they leaving the body of Christ? Why are they turning away from the Way, the Truth, the Life?

Why? Because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Why? Because God is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness. Period. Light and darkness cannot inhabit the same space. Period.

Why? Because self ceased from dying daily to self, ceased from surrendering to God one hundred percent, daily. And because self took the eyes, the focus off of God. Self began yielding to Satan’s temptations—thoughts of doubt and confusion planted in the mind. Some are listening to error, watching error, contemplating upon error, thoughts planted by Satan by devils—self began listening to error of those they associate with, of those being their kinfolk, etcetera, etcetera: The soul becomes changed by beholding.

Then, the soul has so subtly been tempted, given to temptation yielding to Satan to devils—that now they are confused, let go of faith given them of God, and the blame of their confusion and disbelief is placed on the brethren, and, or God: This is the character of Satan—the accuser and one who places blame upon another instead of accepting responsibility for one’s own choices in thoughts, words, deeds—one’s own life choices.

Satan is the author of confusion. Period. Be not deceived.

Self is the culprit. Self is become again the enemy of God. But, they themselves chose to listen to error, to contemplate upon the thoughts devils planted in their mind. But, What opened the door of the mind to devils? What, who gave them entrance?

Each soul must look to self, examine self by the Word of God, and not by no one else, and nothing else. Pray to God knocking, asking, seeking for the Holy Spirit who will lead and guide into all truth, and will give the understanding.

Stop trying to water down the gospel of Jesus Christ, tell it like it is. To tell anything other than the straight, unadulterated truth is to be a liar, deceiver having Satan, having demons ruling, governing the soul.

We must be emptied of self, dead that Christ will live within us. Read Philippians 2 slowly led of the Holy Spirit (don’t read and study through God’s Word without the Holy Spirit).

Be who you are going to be. Period. Stop placing blame. Stop accusing. Choose life or choose death. Period.

Don’t leave Jesus who died for you , and everyone. Hold on to Christ. If we live by faith, we know of God that we have the faith of Jesus, we have His Spirit in us; we are not going to turn away from Him because of something someone says or does; or because of someone else’s rejection of truth. No. We are going to pray for them, pray for self and hold on to God with all we got—no matter what because Jesus gave His all His life for us.

A soul in whom is the mind of Christ lives by faith, and Christ righteousness—it’s Christ in the soul, it’s not the person. Christ illuminates the soul with Himself, the very glory of God, the love of God.

Don’t let Satan win! Many are playing right into his hand… We must keep our eyes on Christ. Don’t be distracted by Satan’s tactics.

All who will to be saved shall be saved of God because His will is done.

Self-righteousness

Are any of this generation? Self-examination time—by the Word, led of the Holy Ghost.

Repent and be converted

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭27‬-‭38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

These did not live Christ righteousness because they did not know Him nor love Him: God’s love was not in them, His Holy Spirit was not in them. They knew of Christ but didn’t know Him—they did not obey Him. They adhered to their own commandments, to their own laws but yet accounted themselves saved, accounted themselves the standard. Our righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees:

“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Study, receive this light

Be encouraged

“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But 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.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure 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.”

Die daily

Living To Save Others

If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23.

The sin which is indulged to the greatest extent, and which separates us from God and produces so many contagious spiritual disorders, is selfishness. There can be no returning to the Lord except by self-denial. Of ourselves we can do nothing; but, through God strengthening us, we can live to do good to others, and in this way shun the evil of selfishness. We need not go to heathen lands to manifest our desire to devote all to God in a useful, unselfish life. We should do this in the home circle, in the church, among those with whom we associate and with whom we do business. Right in the common walks of life is where self is to be denied and kept in subordination.

Paul could say: “I die daily.” It is the daily dying to self in the little transactions of life that makes us overcomers. We should forget self in the desire to do good to others. With many there is a decided lack of love for others. Instead of faithfully performing their duty, they seek rather their own pleasure.

God positively enjoins upon all His followers a duty to bless others with their influence and means, and to seek that wisdom of Him which will enable them to do all in their power to elevate the thoughts and affections of those who come within their influence. In doing for others, a sweet satisfaction will be experienced, an inward peace which will be a sufficient reward. When actuated by a high and noble desire to do others good, they will find true happiness in a faithful discharge of life’s manifold duties. This will bring more than an earthly reward; for every faithful, unselfish performance of duty is noticed by the angels and shines in the life record.

In heaven none will think of self, nor seek their own pleasure; but all, from pure, genuine love, will seek the happiness of the heavenly beings around them. If we wish to enjoy heavenly society in the earth made new, we must be governed by heavenly principles here.

The greatest work that can be done in our world is to glorify God by living the character of Christ. 25 . Mar 109.1-Mar 109.6

A time for decision!

Choose you this day whom ye will serve. Joshua 24:15.

Today the world is mad: an insanity is upon men and women, and is hurrying them on to eternal ruin. Every species of indulgence prevails, and men have become so infatuated with vice that they will not listen to warnings or appeals.
The Lord says to the people of the earth, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” All are now deciding their eternal destiny. Men need to be aroused to realize the solemnity of the time, the nearness of the day when human probation shall be ended. God gives no man a message that it will be five years or ten years or twenty years before this earth’s history shall close. He would not give any living being an excuse for delaying the preparation for His appearing. He would have no one say, as did the unfaithful servant, “My lord delayeth his coming;” for this leads to reckless neglect of the opportunities and privileges given to prepare us for that great day. Everyone who claims to be a servant of God is called to do His service as if each day might be the last….
Talk of the speedy appearing of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Put not off that day….

Here is the great burden to be carried by each one. Are my sins forgiven? Has Christ, the burden-bearer, taken away my guilt? Have I a clean heart, purified by the righteousness of Jesus Christ? Woe be to any soul who is not seeking a refuge in Christ. Woe be to all who shall in any way divert the mind from the work, and cause any soul to be less vigilant now….

The great work from which the mind should not be diverted is the consideration of our personal standing in the sight of God. Are our feet on the Rock of Ages? Are we hiding ourselves in the only Refuge? The storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to meet it? Are we one with Christ as He is one with the Father? Are we heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ? …
The character of Christ is to be our character. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our hearts. Here is our only safety. Nothing can separate a living Christian from God. 23 . Mar 108-Mar 108.7

Safeguards

We best be on God’s path

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: They know not at what they stumble.” Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭18,19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We best not remove not one safeguard

“The removal of one safeguard from the conscience, the failure to do the very thing that the Lord has marked out, one step in the path of wrong principle, often leads to an entire change of the life and action…We are safe only in following where Christ leads the way. The path will grow clearer, brighter and brighter, unto the perfect day. A conscience once violated is greatly weakened. It needs the strength of constant watchfulness and unceasing prayer” (1MCP 320.4).

A godly influence to all

God’s true people hear Him, and obey Him because His love is in us, His Spirit He puts in us, He gives us faith—God has given every soul a measure of faith, it is sufficient. As we exercise that measure of faith given, we live it; God increases our faith. God says if we love Him we keep His commandments. God says for us to believe. This belief is more than an intellectual knowledge of God, that Christ is the son of God, He is God, and lives; but it is an action word. We do what we believe—God says the just shall live by faith. God says to be hearers and doers of His word but if people be hearers only, they deceive themselves. We live by faith and the Power of God—the Holy Ghost.

Oh if we will just first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness; all these things shall be added unto us.

Know this:

One well-ordered, well-disciplined family tells more in behalf of Christianity than all the sermons that can be preached. Such a family gives evidence that the parents have been successful in following God’s directions, and that their children will serve Him in the church. Their influence grows; for as they impart, they receive to impart again. The father and mother find helpers in their children, who give to others the instruction received in the home. The neighborhood in which they live is helped, for in it they have become enriched for time and for eternity. The whole family is engaged in the service of the Master; and by their godly example, others are inspired to be faithful and true to God in dealing with His flock, His beautiful flock.

The greatest evidence of the power of Christianity that can be presented to the world is a well-ordered, well-disciplined family. This will recommend the truth as nothing else can, for it is a living witness of its practical power upon the heart.

The best test of the Christianity of a home is the type of character begotten by its influence. Actions speak louder than the most positive profession of godliness.

Our business in this world … is to see what virtues we can teach our children and our families to possess, that they shall have an influence upon other families, and thus we can be an educating power although we never enter into the desk. A well-ordered, a well-disciplined family in the sight of God is more precious than fine gold, even than the golden wedge of Ophir.

Wonderful Possibilities Are Ours—Our time here is short. We can pass through this world but once; as we pass along, let us make the most of life. The work to which we are called does not require wealth or social position or great ability. It requires a kindly, self-sacrificing spirit and a steadfast purpose. A lamp, however small, if kept steadily burning, may be the means of lighting many other lamps. Our sphere of influence may seem narrow, our ability small, our opportunities few, our acquirements limited; yet wonderful possibilities are ours through a faithful use of the opportunities of our own homes. If we will open our hearts and homes to the divine principles of life, we shall become channels for currents of life-giving power. From our homes will flow streams of healing, bringing life, and beauty, and fruitfulness where now are barrenness and dearth.

God-fearing parents will diffuse an influence from their own home circle to that of others that will act as did the leaven that was hid in three measures of meal.

Faithful work done in the home educates others to do the same class of work. The spirit of fidelity to God is like leaven and, when manifested in the church, will have an effect upon others, and will be a recommendation to Christianity everywhere. The work of whole-souled soldiers of Christ is as far-reaching as eternity. Then why is it that there is such a lack of the missionary spirit in our churches? It is because there is a neglect of home piety.

Do you, will you—before it is too late?

Will you by faith choose to get to know Eloheem? Will you by faith choose to get to know the Godhead? Will you choose by faith to get to know God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit?

Will you by faith choose God’s thoughts and His ways? Will you by faith choose to love God—obeying Him? Will you by faith choose to give up your will to His will (His Word: His perfect will concerning you)?

Will you by faith choose true Love (God)?

Or, Will you choose (even by default) hate (Self, Satan, devils, your will, the will of others, compromise for others, etcetera)?

Will you by faith choose to be born again, made a new creature spiritually physically and mentally?

Know the faith choice that brings life eternal, true love, hope, happiness, joy, and peace. Choose by faith the true Love: The Love that brings change to your character, change to how you are wired, to your frame; the Love that restores you unto the image of God, after His likeness; the Love that gives you a new life, new outlook, spiritual discernment, order, discipline, structure, positivity; the Love that makes you a new creature; the Love that causes you to pray for your enemies, and be willing to help them spiritually and, or physically by God’s principles in His Word; the Love that puts forgiveness in your heart (mind); the Love that touches your tongue, your mouth and you no longer speak lies, no longer speak foolishness, no longer speaking “jokes”, speaking fowl language; but now, you speak the Word, you speak Life and not death! You speak words in truth, you live truth, you live the fruit of the Spirit by the Holy Ghost power! HalleluYah!

The love that is life and obedience and that is self-sacrificing is of the Godhead: This Love that gives life, gives a new life, makes us new creatures is: God. The Love is Christ in us—His mind He puts in our mind through Him putting the Holy Spirit in us to dwell in us that His seed remains in us and we cannot sin—because if we be His, if we are truly born again: We sin not, for who is born of God has no sin in them. If God be in us, there is only Light and Righteousness in us: Christ through the Holy Spirit. God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all; He is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness.

Love (God) in us is Him living His righteousness in and through us: We keep His commandments—we observe and do them: We are hearers and doers of His Word because we can only obey (love Him) having His perfect Love in us: Himself.

Time is running out. Choose today who you will serve. Choose today who you will yourself servant of to obey: God or Satan.

There is truly only one out of those two—Who is your choice today, and daily moment by moment from this day forward?

Watch and pray. Be not deceived. Repent and be converted. Get your house in order. Hurry! Christ is coming sooner than we all think.

To the Remnant—Be mindful, careful

To God’s Remnant, and to they who desire, long to be His Remnant and remain in Him.

Blessed and holy Sabbath!

Sabbath is God’s holy day. Sabbath is the holy presence of God—God’s holy presence in our presence throughout His holy seventh day. His holy seventh day is all His, is all about Him—God only reverenced honored praised and glorified. His holy day is nothing of self. We are not to trample upon His holy day. It should be Lord where will You, how will You, what will You have of me, have me to go, to do, to say, where to walk, to sing, lift You up, give You all honor praise and glory, reverence You. God’s holy day is NOT about you nor me nor I; but is ALL about God in our faith choices today.

We are to be in Him being filled up with His Holy Spirit dwelling in us… This faith, holy, godly, righteous living is through His Spirit He puts in us daily (if we ask for, seek for, knock for) that we moment by moment are surrendered wholly to Him, His will—His governing us, changing us, restoring us unto His image all the six days abiding in Him and Him abiding in us; Him making us holy, that in Sabbath we keep His Sabbath holy.

It’s not keep Sabbath, no! The love command is to “remember to keep the Sabbath holy”. We are to be very careful how we live in, treat, handle God’s holy Sabbath, His holy things, His holy vessels (including our minds and bodies). Let us keep our foot off of His holy seventh day.

Let nothing unholy enter the mind, contemplated upon—let no unconsecrated words nor faithlessness be thought, spoken, nor done. Remember, what one allows to be entered into the mind, contemplated is as if one has physically done it.

Come on! Let us by faith live each day as if it is our last. Get our house in order. Time is almost finished!

O come, worship…

Come worship God, choose Him before it is too late. By faith, choose God daily that you enter into His rest.

“O come, let us sing unto the LORD: Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, And make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

For the LORD is a great God, And a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: The strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: And his hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down: Let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, As in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath That they should not enter into my rest.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I pray you, we do not err in our mind, and that we know God and His ways—that we be not as they who could not enter into His rest because of unbelief. Our daily choices prove who we truly yield ourselves servants to obey (love).

Be not deceived. Watch and pray. Repent and be converted. Get your house in order. Time is almost finished.

Circumcision of the heart

Will you let God circumcise your heart? You have a choice to or, not. There are consequences that are a result of every choice. Will you choose life or, death? This is truly the question every soul will have to answer, and live out or, not. Listen, hear Eloheem:

“And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”

Don’t turn away…

If the soul turn away from Christ righteousness, from being a hearer and doer of God’s law—of His Word, regard iniquity in their heart (mind):

“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be abomination.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One who truly hears also will do God’s law. When a soul believes in Jesus, they are hearers and doers of His Word. They are justified by faith, living daily being sanctified by faith, living daily righteousness by faith. There are many professing God with their lips, listening to His Word, listening to His law, going to church, speaking amen, praying—but God says that they deceive themselves; that their prayer is an abomination.

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear me:”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭66‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭18‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭33‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If a soul use to do something that is right doing (by faith, Christ righteousness in the soul), God gave you victory over something; then the soul turns away from right doing and goes backward to that thing—this is turning away from Christ righteousness, turning back to one’s vomit; yet the soul is blinded and deceived and thinks they are ok with God, right with God because they are praying, listening to sermons, even because they are going to church—who truly are they praying to, and worshiping…

Be not deceived. Repent and be converted.

“If they shall fall away”

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV

True family…

Hear “I Am”:

“Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭47‬-‭50‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭32‬-‭35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The truth is still the truth whether we like it, accept, believe it or, not.

Looking for justice?

Don’t look for justice from that which doesn’t live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Know where we are in time, in prophecy. Be given up to God one hundred percent —this involves a daily dying to self, totally, wholly given up to God—being connected to God, living by His every Word—by faith. If we are abiding in Christ, He is abiding in us—we are overcomers—His righteous having His righteousness. We get ready, remain ready by His Power. The justified by faith are sanctified by faith, and we live Christ righteousness by faith: We live by faith and by the Holy Spirit that works the good work in us. The saved of God are obedient to God—We love God.

It’s cut and dry

“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭23‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭31‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV

Sabbath in every language is “seventh”. Check it out. The seventh day is after the 6th day. Christ rested His holy seventh day in the grave—not resurrecting until the dawn, toward the beginning of a new day—“as it began to dawn toward the first” the beginning of the week. Read Matthew 28:1 KJV. Sunday cannot be both the first and the seventh day—This is impossible, ludicrous. God does all things decent and in order. The Godhead has left nothing out, has left nothing for us to wonder concerning salvation: The Godhead has given us surety—We can know without doubt, having understanding in all things.

If anyone is deceived, and lost—it is by their own choices and not choosing to live by faith, accept God’s salvation, and be transformed by the renewing of our mind—by Truth.

Repent and be converted. Be not deceived.

Pray for the them…

Prepare daily, especially this being Friday the sixth day—the final preparation day for the end of the week, the seventh day: Sabbath—the holy day of the Lord God.

In preparation for Sabbath, we must daily—moment by moment by faith live in a state of submission to God, a repentant state ourselves as we also intercede for others.

There are many souls speaking words and doing things that they cannot take back. Many souls are doing lip-service denying Christ with their daily life choices—These souls are not wholly surrendered to God being unconverted.

The recording Angel records every thought, every word, every action. If those souls don’t turn to God, fully surrender up self to Him and confess and repent—they are not going nowhere no matter their “good” deeds or kindness that they do do, or express.

There has to be in them true godly sorrow for their wrongs, and a turning away from sin, from wrong, from lies, from error, from darkness, from deceit, from worldliness, from selfishness, from idolatry, etcetera.

If we desire to be delivered (saved) from sin and eternal death; if we want to live eternally with the Holy One Who died for all mankind that all might/may have eternal life: The soul must die, that Christ live within.

By faith, forgive them, intercede to God on their behalf and ask God to forgive them for they know not what they do. By faith, pray to God giving Him consent to intervene in their minds, bodies, life—and do whatever it takes to save them (deliver them from sin and the power of sin).

While we are praying, pray also—Lord don’t pass me by. Thank God and keep moving forward by faith, stay in submission to God (obedience by faith—God does the work).

By faith, stay committed to God. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

A new creature, Or not?—Part 7

The test of discipleship – part 7

The closer you come to Jesus, the more faulty you will appear in your own eyes; for your vision will be clearer, and your imperfections will be seen in broad and distinct contrast to His perfect nature. This is evidence that Satan’s delusions have lost their power; that the vivifying influence of the Spirit of God is arousing you.

No deep-seated love for Jesus can dwell in the heart that does not realize its own sinfulness. The soul that is transformed by the grace of Christ will admire His divine character; but if we do not see our own moral deformity, it is unmistakable evidence that we have not had a view of the beauty and excellence of Christ.

The less we see to esteem in ourselves, the more we shall see to esteem in the infinite purity and loveliness of our Saviour. A view of our sinfulness drives us to Him who can pardon; and when the soul, realizing its helplessness, reaches out after Christ, He will reveal Himself in power. The more our sense of need drives us to Him and to the word of God, the more exalted views we shall have of His character, and the more fully we shall reflect His image. . SC 64.2-SC 65.2

A new creature, Or not?—Part 5

The test of discipleship – part 5

It was possible for Adam, before the fall, to form a righteous character by obedience to God’s law. But he failed to do this, and because of his sin our natures are fallen and we cannot make ourselves righteous. Since we are sinful, unholy, we cannot perfectly obey the holy law. We have no righteousness of our own with which to meet the claims of the law of God. But Christ has made a way of escape for us. He lived on earth amid trials and temptations such as we have to meet. He lived a sinless life. He died for us, and now He offers to take our sins and give us His righteousness. If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ’s character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.
More than this, Christ changes the heart. He abides in your heart by faith. You are to maintain this connection with Christ by faith and the continual surrender of your will to Him; and so long as you do this, He will work in you to will and to do according to His good pleasure. So you may say, “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20. So Jesus said to His disciples, “It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” Matthew 10:20. Then with Christ working in you, you will manifest the same spirit and do the same good works—works of righteousness, obedience.
So we have nothing in ourselves of which to boast. We have no ground for self-exaltation. Our only ground of hope is in the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and in that wrought by His Spirit working in and through us. . SC 62.2-SC 63.1

A new creature, Or not?—Part 4

The test of discipleship – part 4

We do not earn salvation by our obedience; for salvation is the free gift of God, to be received by faith. But obedience is the fruit of faith. “Ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.” 1 John 3:5, 6.

Here is the true test. If we abide in Christ, if the love of God dwells in us, our feelings, our thoughts, our purposes, our actions, will be in harmony with the will of God as expressed in the precepts of His holy law. “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.” 1 John 3:7. Righteousness is defined by the standard of God’s holy law, as expressed in the ten precepts given on Sinai.

That so-called faith in Christ which professes to release men from the obligation of obedience to God, is not faith, but presumption. “By grace are ye saved through faith.” But “faith, if it hath not works, is dead.” Ephesians 2:8; James 2:17. Jesus said of Himself before He came to earth, “I delight to do Thy will, O My God: yea, Thy law is within My heart.” Psalm 40:8.

And just before He ascended again to heaven He declared, “I have kept My Father’s commandments, and abide in His love.” John 15:10. The Scripture says, “Hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments…. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk even as He walked.” 1 John 2:3-6. “Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.” 1 Peter 2:21.

The condition of eternal life is now just what it always has been,—just what it was in Paradise before the fall of our first parents,—perfect obedience to the law of God, perfect righteousness.

If eternal life were granted on any condition short of this, then the happiness of the whole universe would be imperiled. The way would be open for sin, with all its train of woe and misery, to be immortalized. SC 61.1-SC 62.1

A new creature, Or not?—Part 3

The test of discipleship – part 3

There is no evidence of genuine repentance unless it works reformation. If he restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, confess his sins, and love God and his fellow men, the sinner may be sure that he has passed from death unto life.

When, as erring, sinful beings, we come to Christ and become partakers of His pardoning grace, love springs up in the heart. Every burden is light, for the yoke that Christ imposes is easy. Duty becomes a delight, and sacrifice a pleasure. The path that before seemed shrouded in darkness, becomes bright with beams from the Sun of Righteousness.

The loveliness of the character of Christ will be seen in His followers. It was His delight to do the will of God. Love to God, zeal for His glory, was the controlling power in our Saviour’s life. Love beautified and ennobled all His actions. Love is of God. The unconsecrated heart cannot originate or produce it. It is found only in the heart where Jesus reigns.

“We love him, because he first loved us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬”

In the heart renewed by divine grace, love is the principle of action. It modifies the character, governs the impulses, controls the passions, subdues enmity, and ennobles the affections. This love, cherished in the soul, sweetens the life and sheds a refining influence on all around.

There are two errors against which the children of God—particularly those who have just come to trust in His grace—especially need to guard.

The first, already dwelt upon, is that of looking to their own works, trusting to anything they can do, to bring themselves into harmony with God. He who is trying to become holy by his own works in keeping the law, is attempting an impossibility. All that man can do without Christ is polluted with selfishness and sin. It is the grace of Christ alone, through faith, that can make us holy.

The opposite and no less dangerous error is that belief in Christ releases men from keeping the law of God; that since by faith alone we become partakers of the grace of Christ, our works have nothing to do with our redemption.

But notice here that obedience is not a mere outward compliance, but the service of love. The law of God is an expression of His very nature; it is an embodiment of the great principle of love, and hence is the foundation of His government in heaven and earth.

If our hearts are renewed in the likeness of God, if the divine love is implanted in the soul, will not the law of God be carried out in the life? When the principle of love is implanted in the heart, when man is renewed after the image of Him that created him, the new-covenant promise is fulfilled, “I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.” Hebrews 10:16. And if the law is written in the heart, will it not shape the life?

Obedience—the service and allegiance of love—is the true sign of discipleship. Thus the Scripture says, “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments.” “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 5:3; 2:4. Instead of releasing man from obedience, it is faith, and faith only, that makes us partakers of the grace of Christ, which enables us to render obedience. . SC 59.1-SC 60.2

It is true that there may be an outward correctness of deportment without the renewing power of Christ. The love of influence and the desire for the esteem of others may produce a well-ordered life. Self-respect may lead us to avoid the appearance of evil. A selfish heart may perform generous actions. By what means, then, shall we determine whose side we are on?

Who has the heart? With whom are our thoughts? Of whom do we love to converse? Who has our warmest affections and our best energies? If we are Christ’s, our thoughts are with Him, and our sweetest thoughts are of Him. All we have and are is consecrated to Him. We long to bear His image, breathe His spirit, do His will, and please Him in all things.

Those who become new creatures in Christ Jesus will bring forth the fruits of the Spirit, “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.” Galatians 5:22, 23. They will no longer fashion themselves according to the former lusts, but by the faith of the Son of God they will follow in His steps, reflect His character, and purify themselves even as He is pure. The things they once hated they now love, and the things they once loved they hate. The proud and self-assertive become meek and lowly in heart. The vain and supercilious become serious and unobtrusive. The drunken become sober, and the profligate pure. The vain customs and fashions of the world are laid aside. Christians will seek not the “outward adorning,” but “the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.” 1 Peter 3:3, 4. SC 58.1-SC 58.3

An angel is attending you…

The angel attending you is recording in the book of God your life’s record—your choice of living, your words, your actions, your influence upon others.

“Dear young friends, that which you sow, you will also reap. Now is the sowing time for you. What will the harvest be? What are you sowing? Every word you utter, every act you perform, is a seed which will bear good or evil fruit and will result in joy or sorrow to the sower. As is the seed sown, so will be the crop. God has given you great light and many privileges. After this light has been given, after your dangers have been plainly presented before you, the responsibility becomes yours. The manner in which you treat the light that God gives you will turn the scale for happiness or woe. You are shaping your destinies for yourselves.

You all have an influence for good or for evil on the minds and characters of others. And just the influence which you exert is written in the book of records in heaven.

An angel is attending you and taking record of your words and actions. When you rise in the morning, do you feel your helplessness and your need of strength from God? and do you humbly, heartily make known your wants to your heavenly Father? If so, angels mark your prayers, and if these prayers have not gone forth out of feigned lips, when you are in danger of unconsciously doing wrong and exerting an influence which will lead others to do wrong, your guardian angel will be by your side, prompting you to a better course, choosing your words for you, and influencing your actions.

If you feel in no danger, and if you offer no prayer for help and strength to resist temptations, you will be sure to go astray; your neglect of duty will be marked in the book of God in heaven, and you will be found wanting in the trying day.

There are some around you who have been religiously instructed, and some who have been indulged, petted, flattered, and praised until they have been literally spoiled for practical life. I am speaking in regard to persons that I know. Their characters are so warped by indulgence, flattery, and indolence that they are useless for this life. And if useless so far as this life is concerned, what may we hope for that life where all is purity and holiness, and where all have harmonious characters?

I have prayed for these persons; I have addressed them personally. I could see the influence that they would exert over other minds in leading them to vanity, love of dress, and carelessness in regard to their eternal interests. The only hope for this class is for them to take heed to their ways, humble their proud, vain hearts before God, make confession of their sins, and be converted.” 272 . CCh 184.1-CCh 184.4

The guardian angel

“A guardian angel is appointed to every follower of Christ. These heavenly watchers shield the righteous from the power of the wicked one. This Satan himself recognized when he said, “Doth Job fear God for naught? Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?” [Job 1:9, 10.] The agency by which God protects his people is presented in the words of the psalmist, “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” [Psalm 34:7.] Said the Saviour, speaking of those that believe in him, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father.” [Matthew 18:10.] The angels appointed to minister to the children of God have at all times access to his presence.

Thus God’s people, exposed to the deceptive power and unsleeping malice of the prince of darkness, and in conflict with all the forces of evil, are assured of the unceasing guardianship of heavenly angels. Nor is such assurance given without need.

If God has granted to his children promise of grace and protection, it is because there are mighty agencies of evil to be met,—agencies numerous, determined, and untiring, of whose malignity and power none can safely be ignorant or unheeding.”

Probation is closing daily as many are dying—some in Christ, some not in Christ. Probation has closed on many that are alive—they have grieved away the Holy Spirit; these are the “walking dead”, spiritually.

Soon, the Holy Spirit will totally withdraw from this earth and the four winds let loose—the fallen evil angels will wreak evil, Satan and all his powers loosed and not held back. Oh what a time is coming! The “last days” are here.

The time to be completely wholly given up to God is now. If we are not standing for God and on His side now, there is no doing it later when there is no more The Intercessor, Christ work of intercession will be finished.

Don’t trust in men making flesh your arm

Many turn away from God in their mind first, then it shows in their living. Self starts to rely on self and, or others. The soul begins to live according to the flesh. They hear self by yielding to devils whispering in their ear, and through using others—many then put their trust in self and, or in others. Oh what a dangerous place to be! And a very deep hole to get out of. Don’t turn back to your vomit. Pastors, this goes for you too. If you gonna be God’s, be His. The pulpit is not yours, the people belong to God. Don’t get the big head. Don’t be asking for amens, and claps and don’t desire to hear “good sermon”. You are God’s servant, His watchmen—all glory is to God. We can do nothing without God.

Let us by faith choose to give up self to God completely, totally holding on to nothing; give up self-will to the will of God—totally upon God, trusting His every word. Let us behold Him in daily in His Word, and He will change us through His Holy Spirit He puts in us. We will all become changed. We just have to by faith move out of our way, let go and let God. God never fails. HalleluYah!

I pray you, we choose by faith to speak and do right glorifying God, teaching, preaching the gospel—righteousness by faith: The Three Angels messages. If you, we are filled with the Holy Spirit; you, we shall go forth living, teaching, preaching the gospel of Christ with authority and power in Jesus name.

Hear God, take heed His Word:

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.”

Please stop, please repent

Oh professed people of God! Whether you be Israel or they grafted in and are now Israel: Choose today, today choose who you will serve. Today, God’s blessed and holy Sabbath—don’t wait until tonight, nor till tomorrow morning the first day of the week—it might be too late, the next moment could be too late. Choose right now who you will serve: God or Satan. Period.

Remember, the choice of surrender of self-will to the will of God is a daily (moment by moment) choice every day.

God’s holy Sabbath is today: the seventh day (saturday). Sabbath is sacred. He especially heals, makes the soul whole today.

They of you who are sinning against God in your thoughts, in your doings, in your choices, in your living throughout the week, then want to come into Sabbath lip servicing—Stop denying God defiling God’s holy seventh day, stop defiling yourself—you, who are to be the holy temple of God to dwell in. Stop defiling God’s seventh day—His holy presence with what you think and do, even though you speak “happy Sabbath”. Some of you even posting the proof that you do abominations to God, not to mention God Himself knowing and seeing and hearing you.

Sabbath is lessened by man putting the word “happy” (as they do all of their “holidays”) in description of God’s holy Sabbath. Sabbath is blessed and sanctified—holy, set aside holy, for holy use. Sabbath is sacred. Sabbath is as the holy vessels of God. Sabbath is as the holy ground on which Moses stood and YHW told Moses to remove His shoes off His feet!… Sabbath is not common, is not secular, is not just like the other six days! Sabbath is the very holy presence of God, the holy day He chose for us and Him to be one and all about Him—no outside, unholy distractions. Sabbath the holy presence of God we are to behold and become changed more and more from one Sabbath to another into His image after His likeness—we are sanctified by Sabbath; and we can go forward another six days being empowered and equipped with His love to live the gospel and preach the gospel that others will want to become changed by God too, and know Him, love Him having His love in them, His Spirit, and know and believe His power to save from sin and from the power of sin.

Your words mean nothing! Your witness in your doing, your living speaks louder than your words that you hate God, no matter your words, your lip service. Your hypocrisy, your backsliding, your consistency in traveling back to your vomit by yielding to the temptations of devils, and they the devils use to your demise reveals your choice, reveals your fruit, reveals your true character.

Stop leading others to hell by your false witness—speaking God, and that you “love God” while living contrary to God all six days prior; and then speak “happy” Sabbath in the seventh day all the while doing that which shows all seen and unseen that you really don’t believe the Truth you speak, you truly don’t believe on Jesus Christ as you speak you do. You give Satan, his devils (fallen angels) more and more power over you. Please, Stop! Please awake out of sleep! I pray God remove the blinders Satan, the devils have put on them.

God knows whos you choose to be by who you keep yielding to. Your choices are seen and heard and known by God Almighty! Come on!!! Stop spreading the world’s, yours and others mess and words and be true witnesses of God’s power to save; be true watchmen of God! Stop putting your feet to the world being about they in it, loving it—being about keeping your ties to this world, their and Satan’s business. Stop perusing accolades, titles, degrees, position, power of the world. Love not the world. Love not the things of the world. Hate it. Hate sin.

Be about God’s business. Be about loving God. Be about what will edify you and others in God.

God is sick of your lip service, of your offerings, your words that mean nothing.

Will the true Remnant of God please, please stand up?

We have very little time. There is so much yet to be unlearned. There is so much we must learn and do that we should of been doing while the days permitted without so much push-back, persecution—we must do it even though now in these perilous times, evil days.

I pray you repent before it is too late. The end is come, the evil is come; the end is come, the end is come!!! Cry out to God please, please—All who want to be saved, ask God by faith, trust He will save you: God will save you; God saves to the uttermost.

The Sabbath is the seal of God. In these last days, Anyone not sealed with God’s seal, will not enter into His Kingdom. So it is imperative you realize where we are. The end, the end is come.

The call is urgent! The time is now! Please, give-up your life to God that you will be delivered from sin and live life eternally with Christ who made life possible for you and for me. Please, come to Christ, He is calling standing outside the door of your mind knocking, and knocking—Please let open the door all the way and take His inviting Him ALL the way in. And keep Him there by filling your mind with His words, seeking knocking, asking Him for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you.

Repent! Repent! Be not deceived! Watch and pray! Repent and be converted.

Keep YHW’s Sabbath holy

If you love Him, keep His commandments.

In keeping YHW’s Sabbath, God’s people acknowledge, regard God’s very holy presence. In our observance, our keeping Sabbath holy—We reverence God, we obey Him because we Love Him with His Love He puts in us.

God making us His holy people begins with our surrender of self-will to His will (His Word) all throughout all the days. Being filled with God’s Holy Spirit, We by faith live love unto God all days. Keeping Sabbath holy begins with our living unto to glorifying God beginning with our daily life choices the first day of the week (sunday) through the sixth day (friday). If we have by faith lived unto God, by His every word all six days: Being filled with the Holy Spirit, when Sabbath (seventh day, saturday) is come, we keep Sabbath holy.

Our living glorifying God all days is our witness, and testifies of the Almighty God. Our life of love unto God is greater witness of His power to save than is our words. The words we do speak are they which the Holy Spirit gives us utterance to speak—if God’s Spirit is in us—so it is, our worship is our words and our living (faith produces works) all the days. But Sabbath, our worship entails no commonness nor secularism, no self pleasure, etcetera—Sabbath is all about God. Sabbath is all about choosing Life, health and growing into deeper knowledge of the love of God, His character. Sabbath is all about “righteousness by faith”: The Three Angels messages. Sabbath is the seal of God.

The seventh day—God’s Holy Sabbath (saturday) is set aside holy, for holy use. The good we do is that which heals, saving souls spiritually and or physically.

Hear God: “Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.”

“Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; and say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates: thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.”

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”

We each cannot walk with God, that personal life intertwined with God (have God in us through His Holy Spirit, and by faith, live Christ righteousness—do right) while not obeying His Word. A soul can say they have a relationship with God—but if they are not hearers and doers of His Word, but are hearers only: They deceive themselves. Don’t be deceived. The end is come. In that great and terrible day, Where will you be found?

“Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch. Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, that in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The end is come. Soon Christ will stand up, probation closes. Christ will no more intercede for us to His Father. Remember, Christ comes with His reward. We are being judged now.

Be not deceived. Repent, and be converted that your sins be blotted out, you be born again. Watch and pray.

“The removing…”

“Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”

“See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.

For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.”

It is time, now

Surrender to God now your all—your very soul—existence, life (soul=a living being, life). Walk with God now being agreed with Him. If you wait, it will be too late. The last days are already here, been here. Do not wait another moment.

“The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: and the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

Know Whose, who you are…

If you be God’s: Know whose you are. Know who you are. Know what is required of you. Know your place. Know your benefits, your blessings. Live whose you are: God’s royal priesthood, holy nation.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

Only “If”

“Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee:

O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people would not hearken to my voice; And Israel would none of me.

So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: And they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, And Israel had walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, And turned my hand against their adversaries.

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: But their time should have endured for ever. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: And with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.”

But, now…

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

“Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, as when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

Do not trust your own wisdom

We live in a spiritual world. We are in a spiritual war. We who are abiding in Christ, and He abides in us: We have His mind in us; we have His love, His righteousness through the Holy Spirit.

So, be very careful, mindful of who you yield yourself a servant to obey.

Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth

“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”

“Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.

But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.”

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”

Why destroy yourselves? Why?!

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭39‬-‭40‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Prophets had wept over the apostasy of Israel, and the terrible desolations by which their sins were visited. Jeremiah wished that his eyes were a fountain of tears, that he might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of his people, for the Lord’s flock that was carried away cap-tive.* What, then, was the grief of Him whose prophetie glance took in, not years, but ages! He beheld the destroy. ing angel with sword uplifted against the city which had so long been Jehovah’s dwelling-place. From the ridge of Olivet, the very spot afterward occupied by Titus and his army, He looked across the valley upon the sacred courts and porticoes, and with tear-dimmed eyes He saw, in awful perspective, the walls surrounded by alien hosts. He heard the tread of armies marshaling for war. He heard the voice of mothers and children crying for bread in the besieged city. He saw her holy and beautiful house, her palaces and towers, given to the flames, and where once they stood, only a heap of smouldering ruins.

Looking down the ages, He saw the covenant people scattered in every land, “like wrecks on a desert shore.” In the temporal retribution about to fall upon her children, He saw but the first draught from that cup of wrath which at the final judgment she must drain to its dregs. Divine pity, yearning love, found utterance in the mournful words:

“‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gath. ereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!’ O that thou, a nation favored above every other, hadst known the time of thy visitation, and the things that belong unto thy peace! I have stayed the angel of justice, I have called thee to repentance, but in vain. It is not merely servants, delegates, and prophets, whom thou hast refused and rejected, but the Holy One of Israel, thy Re-deemer. If thou art destroyed, thou alone art responsible.’Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.”

Christ saw in Jerusalem a symbol of the world hardened in unbelief and rebellion, and hastening on to meet the retributive judgments of God. The woes of a fallen race, pressing upon His soul, forced from His lips that exceeding bitter cry. He saw the record of sin traced in human misery, tears, and blood; His heart was moved with infinite pity for the afflicted and suffering ones of earth; He yearned to relieve them all. But even His hand might not turn back the tide of human woe; few would seek their only Source of help. He was willing to pour out His soul unto death, to bring salvation within their reach; but few would come to Him that they might have life.

The Majesty of heaven in tears! the Son of the infinite God troubled in spirit, bowed down with anguish! The scene filled all heaven with wonder. That scene reveals to us the exceeding sinfulness of sin; it shows how hard a task it is, even for infinite power, to save the guilty from the consequences of transgressing the law of God. Jesus, looking down to the last generation, saw the world involved in a deception similar to that which caused the destruction of Jerusalem. The great sin of the Jews was their rejection of Christ; the great sin of the Christian world would be their rejection of the law of God, the foundation of His government in heaven and earth. The precepts of Jehovah would be despised and set at naught. Millions in bondage to sin, slaves of Satan, doomed to suffer the second death, would refuse to listen to the words of truth in their day of visitation. Terrible blindness! Strange infatuation!

The called, holy

There is a shaking going on, a purging, casting out. But, the called, answer and choose God giving up self-will to His will. We receive His love, He sanctifies us. We are the chosen—We remain, we are written to life: We are called, holy.

“And 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.

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV

What a mighty, loving God we serve. HalleluYah!

Free or in bondage—Which law are you living?

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

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For 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: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For 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.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

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

But 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.

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

But 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.

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

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

Because the First came, We can know the Last is coming soon

Because Christ is the First and the Last, His Word came to pass the first one: We know without a doubt that He is coming again, soon, very soon—sooner than we think.

“Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land. And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns. With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.”

Keep yourself unspotted from the world

Need wisdom? Hear God

“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

But 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.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

Pure 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.”

Lest your deeds be reproved…

You say you believe, that you obey God having His love in you. Then why are you condemned? Why aren’t you changed by the Word you profess to believe? Why are your deeds still evil (contrary to, in opposition to the Word)—proving yourselves to be unbelievers—being lovers of darkness, hating the light?

“Jesus 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The 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.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is no salvation of the Lord God unto they who truly do not believe on Jesus Christ. Repent and be converted that your sins are blotted out and you be born again.

To know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven is not for “everyone”

Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. God knows the heart (mind) of every soul: Who has Him, who does not—who desire to truly be saved (delivered from sin), and who do not. Only God knows the true spiritual state of the mind of every soul—we do not know it. But, God does reveal it to us through His Word via the Holy Spirit. Many say they are Jews but are not. Be not deceived.

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But 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.”

The vanity of mankind

Part 2

Vanity in human pleasure and in labor

“I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?

For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The vanity of mankind

Part 1

Vanity of vanities—all is vanity. The knowledge of vanity.

“The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬

Truth has no error in it

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Since when does truth accept a lie because of what the world, under the control and authority of Satan, disguises and decrees?

It is said year after year that “Christmas” time, this time of year, the season is about Jesus—that Jesus is the reason for the season: Because the world recognizes Jesus birth during this time even though we know Jesus was not born in December.

This is not biblical at all. God’s principles in His Word do not align with, nor harmonize with deception being ok in worshipping Him “because” of no reason or season. God allows our choices. God does not accept the worship, or go along with and uphold Babylon because they decide to acknowledge Him during a season, or one day a week, or one or two or three days out of the year. God has nothing to do with this.

Do not mistaken God allowing everyone’s choices for His approval. Period.

God sets before each and every soul individually and collectively: Life and death. He does not force our choices in one iota one way or the other. It is the choice we each are to make daily—throughout each day moment by moment.

Truth is the truth. Only truth and obedience is of God’s love. Christ in truth and love draws the soul unto Him. He does not use lies. Christ does not dress the truth in deception to draw souls to the knowledge of Him.

Christ meets the soul where they are, and He does not leave them there. He brings them out of darkness into His marvelous light.

All of the world’s holidays are exactly that: Babylon’s, Sodom and Gomorrah’s “holidays” rooted in idolatry, rooted in paganism, rooted in spiritualism in their ceremonies, in their rituals. These do not worship the One True God. They worship Satan. Satan has deceived the masses in telling them the world’s holidays can be made about God. The Devil does not care about them “saying” it’s about God because he knows what are his possessions, and he knows where and in who he is worshiped. Satan wants worship and he does not care how he gets it. Remember, Satan seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. That is his goal in all his deceptions disguised as truth by mingling truth and error. Jesus warns us in His command “Be not deceived”.

Do we go along with first day worship as God’s holy day because the world sets it up as so, and recognizes and decrees the first day as Sabbath (seventh day), as the “Lord’s day”? God forbid! Absolutely not.

We, people of God worship only God, and by faith and the power of the Holy Ghost—we worship God in spirit and in truth.

So, please examine again again—Why are God’s people suppose to, are expected to, and see nothing wrong with coming together with one another, let alone others and celebrate the world’s holidays let alone Christmas (Christ mass)? And, Who said that God’s people are to bow down and worship according to the world’s dictates?

In prayer, go to God as you pray His Word to Him. Only His Word will not return to Him void. Ask God the truth of the matter. He will only bring you to the Light, Truth and nothing but His truths.

Don’t be a partaker of evil

Spiritual things are spiritually discerned.

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.“
‭‭2 John‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬,11 ‬‬KJV

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭16‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”

“having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for 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. Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭7‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.”
‭‭Ezra‬ ‭9‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Have no part in unbelief

Unbelief is being disobedient to God. Unbelief is not being both a hearer and doer of the Word of God—The Law: His whole Word, His instruction in righteousness. Unbelief is not believing the Word about the Word—Jesus Christ Creator and redeemer.

There is no getting our house ready, nor being ready for Christ soon return, nor being ready for His Holy Sabbath (the seventh day known as Saturday) while rejecting in any part, on any point—truth.

Be not as they who could not enter in and did not enter in because of unbelief.

“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.

For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, In the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, And saw my works forty years.

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, And said, They do alway err in their heart; And they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Are we preparing, that we be ready?

“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Then let them which are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

“It shall be to me a name of joy…”

Reconfirming of the covenant

“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD.

For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at first, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.

For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.”

Don’t let them slip

“Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honour, And didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.

But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

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; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

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

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

Who? And unto Who?

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, And his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, And they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”

I stir you up putting you in remembrance

Take heed

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

We 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: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

For 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.”

Sheep gone astray: But now returned to the Shepherd…

We who are by faith justified—we now by faith live unto sanctification: Righteousness by faith, that we shall be glorified.

Believing is an action: Every aspect of our daily living reveals if we truly believe Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Let us ask ourselves, What does my life reveal, my daily choices (speaks to who I worship) in my thoughts, my actions, my communications, my associations, what I watch, listen to, read, in my leisure? What does my life reveal in public and behind closed doors, behind walls when I think I am alone? Am I responding to others, and to those in authority as Christ teaches me to no matter if they are kind or mean? Am I living in obedience to the laws of the land (not to those contrary to God’s Law). Am I responding to they who do me wrong, disrespect me as Christ teaches me?

If we truly have returned home, repent and are converted, then we live as Christ lived the example for us to know we can do as He did if He lives in us. If we abide in Christ, and He abides in us: The same shall bring forth much fruit, for without Him we can do nothing. We are the first fruits of Christ creation: We live Love. We live God’s character.

Hear the Word:

“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

Are we living in the Holiest of Holies with the Holy?

Where is living in God’s Holiest of Holies in living the world’s ways?

The worship of other gods is revealed by celebrating that which many profess is about Christ.

In living the character of God, How does the costumes and decorations of the worship of other gods reveal worshipping God in spirit and in truth—How does this reveal God’s character and glorify Him when Satan has ownership of these things? Satan is the owner and master of these things and of the world’s ways, customs and traditions. God has nothing to do with it.

Where is the wearing of the santa hat, or the deer antlers, or the snowman—where is the decked with gold and silver and lighted tree in the worshiping the God of creation, and redemption? How is the wreath on the door, lights covering the house etcetera revealing God’s character, living with Him in His Sanctuary?

God gives His people living in the world but being not of this world opportunity after opportunity all 365 days of the year to live His character before all nations, in this world.

Satan has mesmerized many.

Many gather and decorate primarily and mainly because the world said to do it. Many celebrate because the world said to. Period. Satan, in order to get people to compromise and deny God and worship him—he knows he must deceive the masses and disguise his worship with a little truth—he disguises the world’s ways with “the season of giving and miracles, worship of Christ by saying it is celebrating Christ birth”. But, truly it is the worship of other gods. The decorations represent the worship of other gods, the bowing down to them.

How might satan the devil deceive the whole world? Satan is subtle, and disguises evil very well with seemingly innocent things and themes to capture the mind of God’s people. He used disguise and charm, etcetera to deceive Eve. He appeared as an angel of Light to Christ—but Christ is the Light and discerned he was satan by the words he spoke, not the apparel he was seen in.

If Satan came out straight and let it be known that the world’s holidays are really worshipping, bowing down to him; that is not deceit—he cannot deceive the masses that way.

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Worship God in spirit and truth, not in error disguised with a truth. God is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness. God is holy, we His people are to be holy. We follow Christ where He goes—We live where He is. Christ is in the Holiest of Holies (The Most Holy) place of His Sanctuary.

God’s way is in His Sanctuary. If we be God’s people, His first fruits of His creation; and the Holy Spirit dwells within and produces in us the fruit of the Spirit; if His seed remains in us, we cannot sin; if we are born of the Lord God, and if we repent and are converted—we are born again: We sin not, nothing belonging to satan will be found in us. Period. If we abide in Christ and He abides in us: The same brings forth much fruit, for we can do nothing that is of Him without Him.

Is anything of darkness, even though disguised as light, found in God’s Sanctuary? Absolutely not!

Remember, Satan and his devils are able to disguise themselves and appear as angels of Light.

Be not deceived. The enemy seeks to sift God’s people as wheat. Watch and pray, surrender to God. Be filled with the Spirit of God living by faith the righteousness of Christ because He is in us. I pray you choose not to be deceived living according to the world bowing down worshiping other gods in disguise, while professing to be “all about Jesus” and He ain’t in it.

Where is the world’s holidays in God’s Sanctuary?

Does error uphold, glorify God?

Christ is coming for His faithful, obedient first fruits of His creation—We follow the Holy, Christ the infallible; We do not follow anyone else, the fallible.

“Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, The stone which the builders disallowed, The same is made the head of the corner, and A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Being by faith filled with the righteousness of Christ, we are not deceived and do deceive others by participating in the reindeer games. We are children of the Day—Light. We hold up the banner of Christ living His righteousness by faith: The three angels messages. We have followed Christ into the Holiest of Holies (Most Holy) of His Sabctuary and are living in there with Him, our prayers go to Him in there and He is interceding for us to His Father; and He is cleansing the Sanctuary (spiritually He is dwelling in the Holiest of Holies in us: Our mind the frontal lobe); He is cleansing us from all sin that He may present us His first fruits to His Father. Nothing of satan is found there. Period. There are no other compartments for Christ to go into. He will soon stand up. He will intercede no more. He will put on His Kingly Robe and step out and we who are His will remain His. No more chances to they had tasted of Him being called; but they did not remain in constant response to their Maker.

Be not deceived. Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.

“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.”

There is a process unto salvation

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching 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.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Disobedience will not lead to the faith of Jesus, nor to the salvation of the Lord God Almighty. Disobedience is the evidence that self is not dead, and one’s faith is not.

Fear of the Lord is to depart from evil. Repent and be converted that our sins be blotted out, we be born again.

Be not deceived. Watch and pray.

“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ KJV‬‬

Tomorrow is not promised

“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Confess and repent of the sins in the past. Be concerned of the things today. Take heed of God’s Word, His warning that we are prepared and ready for what shall come. But, tomorrow is “If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”

Holy calls but many do not answer—Who/which are you?

Answer the question to God, He will reveal the state of your heart (mind) to you. Examine self, not another. Pull the bolder out of your eye first. Then, you may help those with a beam in their eye.

These are they who have the knowledge of God, but reject Him in their rejection of His truths, His law (the whole Word); and His law the Ten Commandment law (His law of His love and liberty).

They who truly haven’t come to the knowledge of God’s character, His Word, His law—when He brings all to them, they will receive Him. These will take the place of those who have known but still choose to live their own ways. They will replace those who refused to hear the love of God, and declared “there is no God”. They who have rejected God in not receiving Him in His Word, have also in reality declared “there is no God” by their daily choices—living as if He who created the eyes and ears and mind has no eyes to see, ears to hear, mind to know their thoughts, iniquities, abominations.

There is a remnant from the remnant, these stand and do not bend; these know the One true God and Jesus Christ who He sent. These—we are, we know who we are, we know our place—We are the first fruits of God’s creation.

The time is soon come when all probation will be closed. Will you be visited of God and He find you faithful? Will you be visited of God and be sealed being righteous still, holy still, godly still?

Hear God:

“I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; a people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭1‬-‭25‬ KJV

The Holy has spoken—it is. Period

Hear all, and listen, take heed to what God is saying that in the last day we who are His—are of one fold. There will not be all these different “denominations “. God has His people His children all in His one fold—we are from all different walks of life, He gathers us, even we who were the worst of sinners but now sinners no more. Blessed are we that by faith are hearers and doers of His Word. Period.

“Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭56‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭6‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Time is running out. Let us make our call and election sure. Die, surrender, give up self to God daily before it is too late. God’s Sabbath is His seal upon His people—His mark, His sign of who are His.

“For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“My son, forget not my law; But let thine heart keep my commandments:”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Be not deceived. Watch and pray. Repent and be converted.

Amen: Verily He hath spoken, it is

“And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD, even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; the prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.

And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.”

Real talk

I declare the Word, It is written:

“Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; and said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; that thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭1‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The word of the LORD is spoken, is done. Thank You Holy Father in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Bring to the forefront

“O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt Because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: And there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; And my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. For I am ready to halt, And my sorrow is continually before me. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. They also that render evil for good Are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.”

“I know His commandment is life everlasting”

One does what they truly believe and love. Period.

If we truly have repented, We are converted and will believe God. We live His Word by faith. Faith and works—faith shows up and out in the life and is revealed. The choices that we make in our living (our doing) whether by the Word of God, or not: Reveals if we are children of the Light; or children of darkness.

“Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

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

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. 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.

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭44-50‬ ‭KJV‬‬

No conversion: No healing—Walk while ye have the Light

“The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

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

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 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.” John 12:4-40 KJV

True faith exercised

He spoke and it existed. Give God thanks. Believe. Believing is living by faith, faith is doing. One truly does not consistently do what they don’t believe. Period. Faith and works are lived by us through Christ in us through His Holy Spirit. If we have faith, we pray according to His Word, we know without doubt that it is done—we thank God.

Now, read this (this is just one example Christ lived for us)—so simple a child understands this:

“Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.”

Thank You Elohim for the token

“Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: For I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: For I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: For thou wilt answer me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: And I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

O God, the proud are risen against me, And the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; And have not set thee before them.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Shew me a token for good; That they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: Because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.”

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.”

Watch it now! Don’t get it twisted

It is said that “Sabbath keepers killed Christ”, “that it is not enough to keep the Sabbath”. Surely, it is not enough to “keep” Sabbath. This is not the words of God. Be careful of your words.

The truth is that they who by faith keep Sabbath holy, do so because they believe, the Spirit of the Lord is in them. The just shall live by faith. They that live by every word of God are filled with the Holy Spirit because they choose to live by faith—they receive God’s gift and they believe. They believe—spiritually and physically. They hear and do the word, by faith. They simply take God at His word, trust Him to do His word in them, for them, through them. Period.

The Pharisees and Scribes, and they taught of them, following them did not keep God’s Sabbath holy. They did not keep the commandments of God but kept the commandments of man. Surely, it was not enough for them to just “keep” Sabbath. They did not keep holy God’s Sabbath rest. They could not enter into God’s rest because of unbelief.

If we truly understand the sacredness, the importance of Sabbath, we will know that only a soul filled with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit will keep Sabbath holy—these are the just that live by faith. These souls are abiding in Christ and His Word abides in them.

The one abiding in Christ, Christ abiding in the soul will by faith be kept by the power of the Holy Spirit—Christ keeps us from falling.

A soul may be so self-disciplined that they acknowledge Sabbath by religiously not doing certain things, and religiously doing certain things. This is not of God, not by Christ righteousness, but self-righteousness. The heart reveals the thoughts through words spoken, the countenance, the demeanor, the dress, the character not only in Sabbath, but especially throughout the six days prior to Sabbath. The soul’s true character is revealed at home. The true character is revealed in crisis. The true character is revealed where, and when one thinks no one is around that they know or that knows them. The true character is revealed no matter the soul may appear to be in the Lord because they appear to “keep” Sabbath.

NOTE: Keeping Sabbath is NOT keeping Sabbath holy by faith and by the power of God through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us—Christ mind in us.

How one lives throughout the six days prior to Sabbath reveals if one truly by faith keeps Sabbath holy. Only the soul filled with the Spirit of God, by faith living by God’s every word will by the Spirit of God keep Sabbath holy.

There is a difference between Seventh-day Adventist, or God’s people filled with the Spirit of God, living by faith; and the Adventist, people professing to be God’s people having a “name” only, doing lip-service.

Sabbath is God’s sign between Him and His people that He is the LORD our God, that He is the LORD that sanctifies His people.

Sabbath is the fourth commandment in the Ten Commandment law of God. Sabbath is the glue that binds all ten: Love for God, therefore, loving others as we love ourselves.

We must be careful not to make light of Sabbath, not to speak as if “Sabbath (the seventh-day) is just another day”. It is not “just another day”. God is holy. His holy presence is filled up in His seventh-day (Sabbath). Sabbath is as the holy ground on which Moses stood and God told him to remove his shoes off his feet; and the bush burned but was not consumed by fire. If Sabbath had been received and cherished, loved, handled with care, kept dear, etcetera; there would be no one sinning. Sabbath is the very holy presence of God filled up within His seventh-day. The day He blessed and sanctified, that He dwell among us.

Seek God for His Spirit, go through His Word and study through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, the Gospels, Hebrews, Revelation. That’s not even all the books.

NOTE: Keep in mind, be mindful as you study Sabbath, there are that which were sabbaths like the feast days—they were not the seventh-day (Sabbath) of God but were that which were to be observed holy as the seventh-day—Sabbath rest of God—His holy day. There is a difference. The sacrificial system, feast days attached or apart of the sacrificial system are the holy days, the sabbaths, the holy days done away with. Why? Because Christ became the Lamb, He was the ultimate sacrifice once and for all.

If we truly are living by faith, by every word of God, filled with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Christ righteousness is in us: His character is manifested in us, We will keep His Sabbath holy, we will be holy, we will live holy unto Him as we live the fruit of His Spirit; We will love Him, love others as we love ourselves. We will overcome sin. We will be in the first resurrection and live eternally in the presence of God Almighty, The I Am.

Be not deceived. Ask, seek, and knock for God’s Holy Spirit. He will give His Spirit to you if you just believe. The Spirit of God will guide you into all truth, and give you understanding.

Peace

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” Col. 3:16. Rightly understood, this text solves the problem of Christian living. So let’s spend a few minutes to see how much is involved in it.

It can’t be doubted that there is power in the word of God, far above that of any other book. The Lord through the prophet Jeremiah rebukes the false prophets, who speak their own words instead of the words of God, and says: “What is the chaff to the wheat?” “Is not My word like as a fire? Saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jer. 23:28, 29.

The word hidden in your heart protects against sin. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” Ps. 119:11. And of the righteous we read that the reason why none of his steps slide, is that “the law of his God is in his heart.” Ps. 37:31. David also says: “By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Ps. 17:4.

The word of the Lord is the seed by which you are born again. The Apostle Peter says: “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently; being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” 1 Peter 1:22, 23. When you become Christ’s you are born again by the Spirit, and the word of God is the seed from which you are developed into a new creature in Christ.

The word has power to give life. It is itself “quick,” that is, alive, and powerful; and the Psalmist prays to be quickened, made alive, according to the word, and then says: “This is my comfort in my affliction; for Thy word hath quickened me.” Ps. 119:25, 50.

Jesus states this plainly in John 6:63: “It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” This shows that the power of the Spirit of God dwells in the word of God.

With the knowledge that the word of God is the seed by which you are born unto a new life, and that hiding the word in your heart keeps you from sin, you may easily understand 1 John 3:9: “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” How simple! There is in the word that divine energy which can transform your mind, and make you a new creation “which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Of course the word can do this only if you receive it in simple faith. But the word does not lose any of its power. If your soul thus born again retains that sacred, powerful word by which you were born, it will keep you still a new creature. It is as powerful to preserve as it is to create.

Jesus, our great example, gave us an illustration of this. When tempted on every point by the devil, his only reply was, “It is written,” followed by a text of Scripture that met the temptation exactly. If you would stand fast you must do the same thing.

There is no other way. Here is an illustration in David’s words, “By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”

In speaking of the casting down of the “accuser of our brethren,” the heavenly voice says: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” Rev. 12:11. The word of their testimony is the word of God that the Psalmist delighted in. They overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of God.

This can only be done when you have the word of God abiding in you. The Spirit is given to bring truth to your memory in time of trial; but if you haven’t learned it then you won’t be able to remember it. But if you have hidden the word in your heart, the Spirit will remind you of it when you are tempted. He will bring to your memory just the word that will foil the tempter.

Every Christian can testify as to the power of the word at such times. When inclined to congratulate yourself on some real or fancied superior attainment, what a powerful check are the words, “Who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Cor. 4:7. Or when harsh and bitter thoughts are struggling within you for control, what power to quell those turbulent emotions lies in the words, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.” 1 Cor. 13:4, 5. When provoked almost beyond endurance, how the gentle rebuke, “The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men,” helps you to be calm. Add to this the many “exceeding great and precious promises” which bring victory to your soul as you grasp them by faith. Thousands of aged Christians can testify to the miraculous power resting in a few simple words of the Scriptures.

Where does the power come from? The answer is found in the words of Christ: “The words which I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.” What spirit are they? The Spirit of Christ. So the power of the Spirit dwells in the word. Truly, Christ himself dwells in the word, for He is the Word.

Can you understand the mystery of inspiration? Only if you can understand the mystery of the incarnation; for both are the same. “The Word was made flesh.” We cannot understand how Christ could be all the fullness of the Godhead, and at the same time be in the form of a servant, subject to all the infirmities of mortal flesh. Neither can we understand how the Bible could be written by fallible mortals, exhibiting the peculiarities of each, and yet be the pure, unadulterated word of God. But it is certainly true that the power that was in the Word that was made flesh, is the power that is in the word that the apostles and prophets have written for us.

Now you can begin to appreciate the power residing in the word. “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” Ps. 33:6. Christ, by whom the worlds were made, upholds them “by the word of His power.” Heb. 1:3. The power that resides in the words of revelation, is the power that could speak the worlds into existence, and can keep them in their appointed places. Surely it is worth your while to take time to study and meditate on the word.

In doing this you bring Christ Himself into your heart. In John 15, the Lord exhorts you to abide in Him, and to allow Him to abide in you; and then a few verses later He speaks of you abiding in Him, and His word abiding in you. John 15:4, 7. It is by His word that Christ abides in your heart; for Paul says that Christ will dwell in your heart by faith (Eph. 3:17); and “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Rom. 10:17.

Many people earnestly long for Christ to come and dwell in their hearts, and they imagine that the reason why He does not do so is because they are not good enough, and they vainly set about trying to get so good that He can condescend to come in.

They forget that Christ comes into your heart, not because it is free from sin, but in order to free it from sin; and possibly they never realized that Christ is in the word, and that if you will make it a constant companion, and will yield yourself to its influence, you will have Christ dwelling within. When you have hidden the word in your heart, you meditate on it day and night, and you believe it with the simple faith of a child-then you have Christ dwelling in your heart by faith, and you will experience His mighty, creative power.

Isn’t this thought encouraging? When you come to God in secret prayer, and the Spirit brings to your remembrance some precious promise or needed reproof, isn’t it encouraging to know that as you accept them, Christ is coming into your heart with the same power that created the worlds from nothing? Doesn’t it clothe the word with new dignity? No wonder David could never tire of sounding its praises. May the thought that God is in the word be a fresh incentive to you to gain strength for your work by taking more time to feed on the source of divine strength.

Overcome sin?

Yes, in Christ: The just shall live by faith.

To His disciples Jesus said, “In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.

Why should this fact cause you to be of good cheer? Why should you rejoice because someone else has overcome the world when you must overcome it also? The grand truth which answers this question is that you are not an overcomer in yourself, but an overcomer in Christ.

To the Corinthians the apostle writes, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. 2 Cor. 2:14. How is it that you are always caused to triumph in Christ? It is simply because Christ has triumphed over everything, and in Him victory is yours.

Christ was tempted in all points like as we are, yet was without sin. He has met and overcome every obstacle that can possibly be brought against your humanity in the struggle with temptation. And whenever “the world, the flesh, and the devil” meet Him, they meet their Conqueror. The victory has already been won. And therefore in Christ you have the victory; for when you are in Him, the temptations assail Him, and not you by yourself. When you hide your weakness in His strength then His strength will fight the battle, He has gained the victory, and the beaten foe can never recover from his defeat so as to hope for victory over Him.

What, then, must you do to overcome? And why is it that you are so often overcome? The obvious answer is that you cannot overcome outside of Christ. What you have to do is to take the victory that has already been won, the victory that He gained. He overcame for you so that He might bestow His triumph on you. And you take His victory by faith, for it is by faith that Christ comes into your heart. This is what is meant by the apostle John, when he says, “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4. By faith you bring Christ into your heart and life. Eph. 3:17. He is there as the Conqueror of all that is to be met and overcome in the Christian warfare.

The glorious truth is revealed that the victory over every temptation and difficulty is already yours, in Christ. Therefore you don’t need to come to the conflict with a faint heart, but with all confidence, knowing that defeat cannot possibly be the outcome, no matter how formidable the foe may make himself appear. The battle is already fought, and Jesus Christ holds out to you the victory. You have to simply take it, and say, “Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 15:57.

Living By Faith—E.J. Waggoner, A.T. Jones

We must just believe the Word. Will Christ find faith in the earth? Believe God, know and love God, and live. Satan is already a defeated foe. The victory is already won.

Who is, Who has the Power? The Word

“Weakness and Power

What is more frail, weak, and helpless than a little blade of grass? But did you ever notice the marvelous power that it exhibits?

Look at what is lifting that clod of dirt. It is a hard, heavy, impenetrable mass of dry clay. What is moving it so slowly and yet so surely out of its way? Not an animal, not even an insect— only a little blade of young grass! The clod is many times heavier than the grass, and yet the grass seems to lift it with the utmost ease. You could not cause a tiny grass root to exhibit such power. You might lay the clod on it ever so carefully but the grass would be crushed to the earth with the great weight of the clod. Some power that is not in the grass itself must be accomplishing this great wonder. The Bible says that it is the power and life of God’s word that causes the grass to grow; for God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass: and it was so.”

Look at a tiny acorn. How helpless, how worthless! But look again. An unseen life, a marvelous power, breaks the hard shell, and pushes little rootlets downward, and tiny branches upward.

They grow and grow, turning aside hindrances, climbing over obstacles, and bursting asunder solid rocks. What is the unseen life? What is the marvelous power? The life and power of God’s word; for God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit-tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the earth; and it was so.”

Although they are two of the weakest and most helpless things in existence, yet what miracles of strength the grass and the acorn exhibit when their weakness is united to the power of God’s word. You are the same way. Weak? Yes, as weak and helpless as the grass. Your “days are as grass,” “and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.” Your life “even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Helpless, utterly helpless in yourself, unable to care for yourself a single moment, unable to resist the smallest temptation, unable to do one good act.

But look again. An unseen power has taken possession of you, a new life has animated you, and lo, you have “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens!” Heb. 11:33, 34. While you were once weak, now you are strong; where once you would have trembled and fallen, now you stand unmoved like a house built on a solid rock.

What is this unseen power? What is your new life? It is the life and power of God’s word united with your weakness. It is the life and power of God Himself, for God goes with His word “working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight.” “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”

You alone, without the Word in you, are like a house that is built on the sand. There is nothing to hold you up when the floods come and the winds blow. It is utterly impossible for you to withstand the tempest, for you do not have strength in yourself.

But even if you are the most helpless person who ever lived, God is willing to take you-if you will submit to Him and work through you in the most marvelous manner by His mighty word. He loves to do it. He has “chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty; and the base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: that no flesh should glory in His presence.” 1 Cor. 1:27-29.

He says, “Whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.” Then, by receiving God’s word into your heart and allowing the word to work, you are building on immovable rock. But Jesus Himself is in the word, and is the Word (see John I and 6), so humbly receiving the Word brings Jesus into your heart to work. And so your work is to submit and receive, and Jesus the living Word supplies all the power and does all the work through you, if you will let Him.

It is not enough for you to unite yourself to someone else who is united to Christ. You must for yourself come to Christ the Word as to a living stone, and build on Him. Then you become a living stone, because you partake of the life of the living Foundation. You grow on the Foundation until you are a part of the Foundation, and the Foundation is a part of you. Is it any wonder, then, that you have strength, and that you can stand unmoved through all the storms and tempests of life?

Then when you look at the grass and realize your frailty, and your helplessness, don’t become discouraged, but rather lift your eyes in thankfulness to heaven and praise that mighty One who can take you—the weakest and most helpless of His creatures— and by His word strengthen you “with all might according to His glorious power.””

Living By Faith—E.J. Waggoner, A.T. Jones

We who are weak God makes strong. By faith and His Power, we overcome. Believe God, love God, and live.

Know the Way, the Truth, the Life: Be not deceived, do not be moved backward

“But 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.

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

For 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; and 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; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but 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. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

But 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; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime.

Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

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

For 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.

For 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.

But 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.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The blessed inherit the earth

But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: But the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; And they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, And forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, And his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: For the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.”

Soon to be cut down—so clean house that we be not cut down

Rest in, trust in Yah

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him; And he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, And thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh at him: For he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.

A little that a righteous man hath is better Than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: But the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: And their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. Psalm 37:1-20 KJV

Don’t choose to remain wicked

“For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light”

Don’t choose to remain a sinner, deceived. But, look to God who will deliver the soul who desires to be made free from sin. Get to know God. He will teach the soul of Himself. He will reveal to each of us our own heart. When we see the deceit, and wickedness within us, we will give it up to God. We will seek God’s forgiveness—He will forgive the soul of the sin confessed, and cleanse the soul of all unrighteousness. If we truly desire to be in Lord, love God, and to made free and have victory over sin; God will do it. Period.

“The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, That there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; And thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; And thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.”

The Book is opened: Read, hear, and keep what is written within

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.”

Be confident in The Deliverer

“Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: For I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: For I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: For thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: And I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

O God, the proud are risen against me, And the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; And have not set thee before them.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Shew me a token for good; That they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: Because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.”

Is your preparation revealing that you are getting ready for the seal of God, or for the mark of the beast?

Does the home, do the walls behind closed doors reveal what is said and done outside, outside on the job, outside with relatives, etcetera? Is the life daily lived in harmony with the principles in the Word of God?

To answer, do not first look to people to tell you, teach you what only the Holy Ghost can, and give you understanding. Humble self before God. Ask Him to tell you, to show you, you. Go, to the Word of God letting the Holy Spirit lead you, guide you into all truth, give you understanding.

Let God show you your own heart. Don’t try to look into someone else’s heart when you don’t know your own.

Then, by faith surrender self up to God. Give up. Surrender self-will to the will of God. Period. Make this faith choice daily. Then stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.

Watch and pray and you will not enter into temptation.

Let go. Let God.

Know, be encouraged

The transformation of the soul can only take place if the soul has truly repented, and is converted and chooses daily by faith to remain converted.

The soul is justified, and is filled with the righteousness of Christ by faith. The soul is sanctified by faith and the Holy Spirit God puts in the soul—this holiness is Christ within the soul for the remainder of the soul’s life. No, it does not take a lifetime to be made holy by God. For as long as the soul lives, by faith daily giving up self-will to the will of God; Christ mind is in the soul’s mind via the Holy Spirit. The soul by their faith is sanctified by God for the remainder of their life.

The soul by faith daily prays, studies the word of God, beholding God’s word and becomes changed. The soul by faith gives God consent to change them, perfect Himself in them. The soul daily brings their mind, body, life—their very being, existence under subjection to God.

The Holy Spirit teaches, guides the soul into all truth, giving the soul understanding in all things.

God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. This is by which every soul knows for certainty that God will not live in a soul that has sin in them—no matter the sin, no matter how light or insignificant they may perceive the sin to be. Be not deceived.

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

“He 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.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“In 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.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We abiding in Christ, His word is abiding in us. We live by faith. He does the conversion work in us through the Holy Spirit. This change of mind, of character, of living takes place only by the faith, daily consent of the soul, sacrifice of self given-up completely to the will of God, to be governed by God. We welcome God to govern us. We delight in all God’s law, it is not burdensome at all. We love God’s law.

Christ mind is in us—the hope of glory. We shall have God’s thoughts and ways. Take hold of God. Do not let Him go. Be not conformed to this world; but be changed by the renewing of your mind. The just shall live by faith. We can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. We are saved by grace through faith. Anyone found of God faithful, obedient—loving Him; is indeed filled with the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Today, hear Him, choose who you will serve.

Have you heard?

“And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.Whosoever 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. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Love not the world

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If the soul loves the world, they have been, are conformed to it: No matter they call upon the name of the Almighty Yah; no matter they pray without ceasing; no matter they quote the holy scriptures, no matter they go to the church building every Sabbath, or no matter they that go every first day of the week—Sunday: The soul was not, is not transformed by the renewing of their mind. These do not have the love of God in them no matter their profession, or lip-service. They did not give-up their very existence, everything to God. God has no other choice but to allow each and every soul their choice, and He will not override their choice, nor the consequences. Although, because of His mercy, the consequences may not be as severe as they could’ve been.

Repent. Be reconciled to God. Once the soul is reconciled to God, the soul can be reconciled in their marriage, in their relationships with their children, and others. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds. The soul has to by faith choose to live strict obedience to God loving God, perfectly hate sin. It is truly the Holy Spirit dwelling in the soul that we can do God’s will—His word.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For 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; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭18‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But 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. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking 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? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Ye 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. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭14‬, ‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The character is what we retain and take with us into Heaven—only our bodies are changed. We are now either forming characters being called by the name of the Lord—having His character; or we are being conformed to loving Satan by loving the world and the ways, things of the world—these are called by the name of Satan having His character. The reward of these is eternal death.

No one disobeying God, not loving God, not having His salvation, not having His love in them, not being filled with His Spirit, not having His love, not loving His law of love and liberty (freedom); not being filled with His righteousness will enter into Heaven. These will not have right to the tree of life. These have forfeited, given up eternal life for eternal death. These are destroyed by the works of their own hands. Their choices in their daily living proved their master and father to be Satan having his character. God being just, righteous allows their choice.

Be not deceived.

Forgiveness, repentance, conversion, reconciliation

There can be no reconciliation without receiving, having God’s gift of repentance. Forgiveness, repentance, conversion cannot be separated from one another. There must be all three for there to be reconciliation. Do not forget in all our living, the just live by faith. By faith we please God, we hear and do His word. By faith, we forgive, repent, therefore we are converted: We are reconciled to God, one to another in Christ.

The first to know is that there is no forgiveness from God if a soul sins against the Holy Spirit. This example is in the Holy Scriptures below, note the sin against the Holy Spirit— “because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.”

We must have God’s discernment period, especially in relation to dealing with others. Don’t call an anointed child of God the devil, or say their spirit is of the devil: No matter how many times you seek forgiveness, there is none. Be careful, be mindful to consciously by faith surrender to God daily, moment by moment choosing to stay connected to God, and seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit that our thoughts, our words, our actions, our living will be in God’s perfect will being led of the Holy Spirit.

“And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭30 KJV‬‬

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore 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. And 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. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭30‬-‭37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We best be careful to examine ourselves by the word of God, that we stay surrendered to Him, be filled with the Holy Spirit and not put our mouths to speak lies bearing false witness against God’s anointed, His little children. Best not mess with God’s little children. We who are God’s little children belong to God, we are saved of Him, we enter His kingdom: If we have acknowledged, confessing all sin, and we repent, we shall be converted—we shall be changed of Him, restored unto the image of God, after His likeness in these days; We are new creatures in Christ. We have the righteousness of Christ. We shall be sealed unto His second coming.

Matthew 18:3-7 KJV
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

“But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: but shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭26‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is no forgiveness from God if we do not confess. We, the righteous of God, we the saints of God are to intercede in prayer to God for His forgiveness to others who cannot get a prayer through to God because of their disobedience—hatred toward God. They want to live their own ways and be called by the name of the Lord—but this is a delusion, this cannot be.

Below, Daniel seeks God in prayer for forgiveness and forgiveness of his people. He also prays that they turn away from their iniquities and understand truth. God hears Daniel, answering his prayer.

“O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬-‭11‬, ‭13‬-‭14‬, ‭19‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We must seek God in sincerity, and truth.

Psalm 130:1-7 KJV
“Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.”

Confess all sin to God. Sins not acknowledged and confessed cannot be forgiven. God will bring to our remembrance only that we know sin, confess, turn away from all sin. He will forgive us, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Our sins are covered by Christ blood—they are only blotted out if we truly repent of them receiving God’s gift of repentance—true godly sorrow, perfect hatred for sin. If we have Christ righteousness, there is no unrighteousness, we have no self-righteousness —our righteousness is of God says the Lord our God.

The converted are forgiven. When the soul is converted, they live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God; they seek and desire to live only God’s will—His word. The converted hear and do God’s word. The converted love their enemies forgiving them, praying for God’s forgiveness of their sins, for their eternal salvation that they may be made whole. They help them if God so leads them, equips, gives them means to. Yet, there can be no reconciliation to the soul who will not receive God’s gift of repentance.

Let us not forget, we are forgiven of God as we forgive others. If we do not forgive, God will not forgive us.

Sadly, many will not give up their will to the will of God. They will not acknowledge, confess their sins, nor repent of them and because they are not converted, there can be no reconciliation to God not to others that they have wronged sinning against God.

“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭32‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭13‬, ‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

2 Corinthians 2:7-11 KJV
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 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. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Without the turning away from sin being truly sorrowful having godly sorrow; there will be no conversion. If the soul is not converted of God by the Holy Spirit; there is no reconciliation to God nor to others the soul has wronged. Within repentance there is also restitution —as far as possible, making wrongs, right. Let us go to souls, tell them we forgive them that they may acknowledge sin, confess to God and truly repent.

“And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Acts 26:20 KJV
But 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.

What is this “do works meet for repentance”? We live by God’s word, loving Him we obey Him, obey His commandments, His law. They are a delight to us, and not grievous to us. They are not a burden. We are changed by God, restored unto His image bearing His fruit in character in every aspect of our living life that He gives to us.

“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Luke 3:8 KJV
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

2 Corinthians 7:9-11 KJV
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

2 Samuel 12:13-14 KJV
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. [14] Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

What great consequence David’s sin brought. But because he received God’s repentance, had godly sorrow, David was not lost but forgiven, and was changed—converted. Read on studying through reference to David’s conversion to this end:

1 Kings 15:5 KJV
Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

Because David repented having God’s repentance —true godly sorrow, and he turned away from sin and to God: God not only forgave and covered David’s sin; but also blotted them out of the record. So God will do for us. When He comes to our name, He shall see Christ His son in everything concerning us. Keep in mind, this was accounted unto David before Christ died on the cross and resurrected.

HalleluYah!

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to 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.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Then 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. For 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. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭47‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are enough Holy Scriptures to begin studying on your own that you know “Thus faith the Lord”.

Be not deceived. God bless you His Holy Spirit who leads and guides us into all truth.

Repent

If the soul does not repent, turn away from all sin; there is no reconciliation to God because without a turning away, letting go of all sin no matter how minute you may think it is; no matter the disguise it is packed in, no matter what you think—You cannot hold on to nothing that is kin to sin, or even resembles sin in thoughts, in character, in emotions, in perceptions, in words, in actions, in lifestyle: Without forsaking all sin; there is no conversion—Without a change of mind (heart) wholly unto God, the soul’s sins will not be blotted out. Therefore, there can be no healing, these souls cannot, will not be healed and made whole. They will not be clothed in their right mind. They will be left to their choice of yielding to Satan, he will remain their master, their father, the god they truly pray to.

I pray our daily, moment by moment choice by faith is complete, total surrender of self, self-will to the will of God—that you receive His gift of repentance, and by faith: obey God’s voice, obey His word which is His will, by faith obey His command if you truly love Him.

“Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭18‬:‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.”

Believe, live by faith

“Believe to the saving of the soul“…

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

For yet a little while, And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬-‭39‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The law that was against us, the true sacrifice

The law that was against us, and abolished was the law that the blood of animals must be shed to atone for sin—the sacrifice of animals offered to God for the atonement for sin. The blood of animals could never take away our sins—this is revealed in the very fact that these sacrifices were year after year, over and over again.

Christ came to this world and He was the lamb slain, and was offered up once and for all for all sin. We who He sanctifies give up our right to govern ourselves to God. We surrender up complete control of our mind, body, life to God to govern, to control.

Now, we are to offerer up ourselves to God daily: Die daily, take up our cross and follow Christ. We must die that Christ live in us. He will put His laws in our mind (heart). We love His law of love, look forward to living His love, and we don’t consider His ways are hard, or taking something good from us, or causing us some type of deprivation. Quite the contrary. God withholds no good thing from us.

“For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) To do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.

He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, And in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” (Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

Hear now, this

“Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.

As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.”

A partaker of sin by choice, association

There is a very fine, thin line between love and hate; light and darkness- just look at the two evens, they look exactly alike. The first even is as it begins to dawn toward the day, or morning, it’s night but yet light. The even is what God put in place at creation to separate the light from the darkness. The second even is at the setting of the sun, there is dusk, or night but it’s still light out—the day is between the two evens.

We hate the sin, love the sinner unto strict obedience to God loving Him. Loving the sinner is being a godly influence, being so heavenly minded, that we are of good. God keeps us in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him because we trust in Him. Others become changed by beholding Christ in us; or, they loathe us because of this. We can do nothing without God, including living by faith in strict obedience to Him, having Christ faith, having His love keeping and observing His law of love.

Either others are changed by beholding us; or we are changed because we took our focus off God, and started beholding man instead. If we know someone to be a certain way, they are choosing to live contrary to God—that is their choice, leave them to it; yet, being ever present interceding for them to God in prayer. We give God consent to intervene and do what He must do that they might be saved (Delivered from sin). We ask God to forgive them each their sins. We in God, the righteous, the just—this is in our job description.

We must guard well the entrances into the soul, life. Be mindful of, careful, beware of the enemy who sets up snares to entrap us. You may be reading this and realize you are or have been being used by Satan—there is Hope. Christ has already paid the price. Go to Him, acknowledge confessing and repenting, turning way from, forsaking sin. We must examine ourselves by the Word of God. We must seek, ask, knock for the Holy Spirit who God puts in us to do the changing, the heart surgery—a new mind filled with Christ love, His character.

Be mindful, aware of who you associate with. Let us take the counsel of the counselors of God, apply in our daily lives that we be not partakes of sin through who we associate with: By beholding became changed. Be aware, beware of where we set our feet, in the conversations we involve ourselves, to not be idle, nor speaking idle words.

“I have not sat with vain persons, Neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; And will not sit with the wicked.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭26‬:‭4‬, 5 KJV‬‬

“And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.”

“I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”

“He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: Therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.”

“The rich and poor meet together: The LORD is the maker of them all. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: But the simple pass on, and are punished. Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: He that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; Yea, strife and reproach shall cease. The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: He that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, And he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Make no friendship with an angry man; And with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul. Be not thou one of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭2‬-‭3‬, ‭5‬, ‭10‬, ‭14‬, ‭16‬, ‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: For they are deceitful meat. Labour not to be rich: Cease from thine own wisdom. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words. Speak not in the ears of a fool: For he will despise the wisdom of thy words. Be not among winebibbers; Among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. For a whore is a deep ditch; And a strange woman is a narrow pit. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, And increaseth the transgressors among men. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it giveth his colour in the cup, When it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, And thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.”

Power of the tongue: Life or death

Get to the root of the matter.

It is so important that we be mindful, and know that the words the tongue forms, the mouth speaks are life or death: from the mind (heart) being filled, and or controlled by God or Satan.

God’s thoughts in the heart (mind) bring forth good fruit: Faith, the love of God, life, blessings, understanding, wisdom, the fruit of the Spirit.

Satan, and or his demons character, thoughts ruling in the heart bring forth corrupt, deceitful, evil fruit: Void of true faith, no understanding, no true wisdom, Death, and cursing.

What the tongue forms, speaks from the mouth, God allows. The thoughts of the mind contemplated upon, spoken in words equals one’s freewill choice—they also become actions which also reveals our freewill choice. God allows our choices, and the consequences of those choices.

Oh friends be aware, be careful what you are beholding because it is sure that you will become changed by beholding. Your words and actions will reveal your true character, the true state of your heart. Examine self by the Word of God. God will teach us our own heart so we know what to stay away from, and know to cling to, and stay connected to Him.

What one speaks, and or does reveals the choice for or against God. Oh yes friends, what we say and, or do to others is a conscious choice made either of God or against Christ crucifying Him afresh.

Because one may do “good” things, or speak “kind” words at times; or seem to be “nice”—It is not a sure sign they are of God. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

Some may be living Christ righteousness through His Spirit, then turn away. By beholding that which they chose to feed on, was subtilely fed the wiles of the devils—these are deceived and oblivious to their own spiritual state of mind. If the righteous soul chooses to not give up their will completely to the will of God (the word of God) and they cease to live Christ righteousness, it is that Christ mind is not them. The Spirit of God is not abiding in them because they choose to live contrary to God’s will—His word; their righteousness (right doing, or living) is forgotten. These are those who can only live “right” for a time, they cannot be consistently this way all the time, nor with every one. We shall know them by their fruit: their words, actions: their life choices.

The tree bears fruit. At first, as the plant grows up out the ground after the seed germinates; you cannot identify what fruit the tree will bear. When the bud comes forth out of the branch, and the flower blossoms, the tree then shows forth the fruit. It does not go back and forth. It is either an apple tree and will bear apples; or it is some other kind of fruit. It is, what it is.

So it is with people. The thoughts in the mind brings the words, and then action—these are reflection of who the soul chooses to yield to, and who the soul yields to is a reflection of what all, or who all the soul is beholding, daily.

The soul can exercise their faith and freewill choice in oneness with the Godhead; or, they at any time may exercise their freewill choice separate from the Godhead choosing their own will, their own desires, being out of harmony with God.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭33‬-‭37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh And intermeddleth with all wisdom. A fool hath no delight in understanding, But that his heart may discover itself. When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, And with ignominy reproach. The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, And the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, To overthrow the righteous in judgment. A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭8‬, ‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: But perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: But the heart of the foolish doeth not so. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: But the prayer of the upright is his delight. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: And he that hateth reproof shall die. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: But the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: But the words of the pure are pleasant words. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. The LORD is far from the wicked: But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬, ‭7‬-‭10‬, ‭14‬, ‭26‬, ‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Guard the entrances to your mind. Be not deceived.

I pray that we by faith daily choose to die that Christ live in us—and we live by faith being found of God faithful when He comes to our name.

Unbelief destroys the life

The root cause of death, and the decline in our spiritual and physical health is unbelief: The lack of faith, not exercising the measure of faith God has given, and or increased. Faith is gone.

This same unbelief is rooted in they who’s delight is pleasing self and others rather than first by faith pleasing God. Without God, we can do nothing.

First seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. If this be our mindset, if we are one hundred percent surrendering self up to God daily, throughout; We shall live by faith, by the power of the Holy Spirit God puts in us. We shall overcome every struggle-day by day overcoming something every day. We repent, and do not turn back to it—we are converted, ever moving forward living by faith, and the Spirit of God in us.

When you are allowing your emotions to rule, you begin to be down, sad, negative thoughts, everything is going haywire, etcetera: Satan is tempting you. He is tempting you to doubt God, question God, reject God’s word. He is tempting you to murmur and complain.

Call out to God. Submit yourself therefore unto God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submit your thoughts, your mind, your very being to God. Thank God for all He has done, is doing, and will do. Praise God for who He is. He will inhabit your praise.

Let us choose by faith to live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. He cannot reverse not one word. His word comes to pass. He does what He says.

Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Let go. Let God. Period.

Peace be unto you.

The rejected gift

The gospel of Christ: The power of God unto salvation.

Do you profess to believe, have faith but yet choose unbelief and sin against God? Have you rejected God? Have you turned your ear from hearing God’s law? The fact that you congregate weekly professing His name, sing songs, and pray is no indication that you haven’t rejected God.

Who is your life’s witness of when you “see” no one looking, when you don’t see nor know God’s presence is there; When you don’t see, don’t know God sees and knows all, He knows the end from the beginning?

The Creator, the Redeemer, the Almighty God, the Most High God is calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light. He is calling us out of the world, out of the world’s culture, out of our culture, and out of our cherished, and family traditions. He is calling us out of self-indulgence, self-abuse: a self-focus life which only pleases self, and or others: God is not the focus. God is not the Head, He is not the Center of the marriage, nor the home, nor the temple.

God is calling us out of the world which is not of His kingdom. God is calling us out of deception. He wants to deliver us from Satan’s bondage to sin. He longs for us to be recreated in Him, His law a delight in our heart and life—the purpose in which He gave it.

In order to live having God’s gift of salvation, we must receive the revelation that His law of love must be received and allowed to take root in us and allow God to perfect His love in us—we behold Him and become changed. We love His law.

The free gift of salvation of God is not operating alone. We are willing to cooperate with God. If the soul by faith is truly justified, and accepts God’s gift of salvation, and has by faith surrendered up self to God for Him to take and clean up and restore unto His image-—the soul is committed to by faith letting God sanctify them for the remainder of their life. This change that He does in us, for us involves our faith in daily choices in our living.

If we reject the law of His love, we reject Him and His free gift. The benefits of His free gift are void. We have no faith.

God governs His people according to His word, His righteousness, His law of love. Many have been deceived of Satan into the thinking that the keeping of God’s law of love is legalism; that it is restrictive, that it is not a blessing. Oh what a deception that has swept through and taken many lives, and will take more!

God’s law of love is a delight to those who truly love Him by faith having accepted His free gift, and by faith surrendering up self to Him daily—that we be governed by Him. God’s law of love is life changing! God’s law of love is a character changing, character building law that is full of joy, peace, happiness, blessings, holiness and righteousness of Christ—life, and life eternal. Nothing! Absolutely nothing can compare to the gospel of Christ!

Yah warned us “Be not deceived”. We cannot abide in God’s word without the Holy Spirit abiding in us. If we the branch, is not connected to the vine, Christ; the branch has no life, it dies. If we are not by faith abiding in the word of the life-giver; we cease to live even though we may be breathing physically—the soul is dead spiritually.

We are warned to not be conformed to this world; but to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. We must unlearn all the world has indoctrinated, infiltrated in us. We must learn of God through the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit He puts in us causing us to keep, do, and observe all His commandments, His statues, His way, His judgements.

To turn away from hearing God’s law of love, His order of governing His people, the gospel of Christ is to literally reject God and grieve away the Holy Spirit.

If the course of life is being lukewarm, and not being hot, nor being cold: God will give us up to our own choices, wants, desires of the heart. He will not force His love, His faith, His freedom upon us: He will not force His gospel upon us.

His instructions in righteousness, His doctrine, His reproof: His whole word: The Old and New Testaments is for our example, God’s witnesses. God has also given us His word magnifying it through they He inspires to write, and publish of His word—in times past, and even in these last days. If we have His Holy Spirit in us, we will discern truth from error, right from wrong and His voice from all other voices—we will not be deceived. Period.

When the soul by faith truly accepts God’s free Gift, they will truly experience His salvation—deliverance from sin. Therefore, teaching by the life lived, daily life choices; and preaching the gospel of Christ that others be saved. We will live His law of love. We will by faith live deliverance from sin: The gospel of Christ.

The only ones who will perceive our life’s witness, our obedience—our love of God to be legalism, to not be the love of God, to be self-righteousness are they who have truly rejected God; they who truly do not know God, those who do not love God; they who truly are as the seven women who want to be called by the name of the Lord, yet do, live according to self, to do as they will and not to live God’s will—His word. They want to live the life Christ gave us the way they want- in unbelief. If these souls who are in this faithless state will not repent, God will leave them to their choice.

All the above simply put is this: The gospel of Christ is the power of God to save us—to deliver us from sin: Justification by faith. We must believe He is and that He is the power by which we will be delivered from sin. We must believe God’s word. By faith, we love Him—love His law. This is life eternal that we know God and Jesus Christ who He sent. We must have no doubt. The just shall live by faith.

What’s riches, material things got to do with it? Absolutely nothing!

Beware, be aware.

Envy, be jealous of no one. They who are honored in the world, by the world, honor themselves—they truly do not love God. Their love is their stuff, money, and self. They with wealth that do not glorify God—you do not want their end. Do not want for their stuff. Do not think in your heart (mind) questioning why they have, and go and do; and you live for God and don’t have this or that (Be careful, for this is sin against God). Be content with where you are, what you have. The reason you may not have right now, and are not elsewhere may be because of your spiritual state (not knowing your own heart); you would loose your soul to Satan. God knows best. There is a time soon coming that we abiding in the Lord God and He in us; we shall have dominion over all that the wicked, the disobedient to God, the heathen, the sinners have—it shall be ours. Oh yes, in this lifetime. But, don’t want for it, seek it. God has to be our reason for our living—for everything.

Let not our minds wonder away from the love of God to the material things, riches, wealth, and ways and amusements of this world; but by faith, let our minds be given up to God to take full control and keep us wholly His. We must daily seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto us. Period. Only the true people of God, His faithful and true Remnant will have right to the tree of life. This is true life, wealth, health, and riches nothing else can ever compare.

“Hear this, all ye people; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: Both low and high, Rich and poor, together.

My mouth shall speak of wisdom; And the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him: (For the redemption of their soul is precious, And it ceaseth for ever:) That he should still live for ever, And not see corruption.

For he seeth that wise men die, Likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish. This their way is their folly: Yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: For he shall receive me. Selah.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: His glory shall not descend after him.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul, And men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭49‬:‭1‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The gospel

The gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. This is the good news. Justification in its entirety of the seven Angels messages. The first Three angels messages teaching us God’s love, His character, His power to save: Deliver from sin, and deliver from the power of sin.

What does this look like in reality, in the daily life lived in the darkness of this world?

“Let go and let God”. Self must die daily—moment by moment at every temptation. If we do not die, Satan gains more control over our mind by our own consent. Period. Know what you are doing. We cannot afford to be “thinking”! We must know.

The just shall live by faith. Will Yah find faith in this earth? Will YHWH find His people faithful?

We must surrender completely to God, that He will perfect His character, His love in us. We must have, keep the faith of Jesus. We have victory over sin if we stay surrendered to Christ, if we hold on to Him, keep our focus on Him. We have power over devils, power to cast out devils—and we rejoice in the fact that our names remain written in Heaven. It is by faith—the measure of faith God gives us, He increases as we exercise the faith He has already given. We must stay daily surrendered to God that we have power over Satan that he does not take our faith by poisoning us with doubt, disbelief, disobedience to God. God did not spare a third of the Angels because of unbelief. He will not spare anyone who lives unbelief. Period. He will do all without force to bring us to our final decision: For Him, or against Him. God is so long suffering. Oh what love!

“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We must learn of Him, all about Him. As we behold God in His Word, as we read, study being led of the Holy Spirit: We shall become changed of God. We shall become like Him.

We must believe on Yeshuah. What is this belief, only an intellectual knowledge of Christ? No. What a person truly believes, he, or she, does. Period. One may speak one thing, but their choices in their living will always reveal what, and who they believe: The tree’s true identity will always be revealed by the fruit it bears.

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭46‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are freewill human beings. It’s all about our faith, our choices no matter what fiery darts the devils, Satan hurl at us.

Will we believe on Jesus, and trust in the Father, in the Son, led and guided by the Holy Spirit? Or, Will we bend, fold, and yield to Satan’s deceptions and be kept in bondage and under the law being already condemned by self?

Choose by faith today who you will serve, worship, love, know, and have faith in: The Creator and Redeemer, the I Am, Almighty YHWH, or Satan. Will you by faith choose God? Or, Will you let your faith be taken from you and be deceived of Satan and choose him?

The gospel is too good to let it be forfeited. Come on, let’s walk before God, as He leads us in the way we should go; and as He guides us with His eye.

Peace

I have loved you

“Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God hates sin and loves the sinner. But, if the sinner wills their own will; they want to live their own way, reject God, reject His love for the world’s false love—God will grant them their choice to separate from Him. Period.

Be not deceived. Watch and pray. Surrender all to God. Repent and be converted.

Come. Come. Come.

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

And 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.

Then 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.

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

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Blessed 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.

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

And 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. For 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: and 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.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Preserve me

“Preserve me, O God: For in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord:

My goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, And to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: Their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take up their names into my lips.

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: My reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

“And this is life eternal”

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,

Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What is it to “know” God and Jesus Christ? What does this look like, sound like? What is it to “glorify” God and Jesus Christ?

To know God is not just the intellectual knowledge of His existence, that He is Creator, Redeemer. No, not just that knowledge alone. The knowing here in this context is also the actual experience of being changed by God. The intellectual knowledge of Him, of His love, His Power comes to life in our forefront and is literally lived out in our day to day living by our faith in Him. His word is life in us. We by faith choose to believe (this is an action word—if we believe on Jesus, we do what He says—we do His will) Him, surrender ourselves to Him. We trust Him, take Him at His word, then that faith produces action in our lives, in our day to day living: The fruit appears.

Our focus is on God, reading and studying His word—getting to know His thoughts, His words, His ways. We learn of Him by the Holy Spirit He puts in us. By beholding Him, We become changed by Him through His Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of us, He is the Center, the Ficus of everything we set out to do. No longer I, but Christ! We are so filled with His Spirit that we live the fruit of the Spirit. We are not only hearers of God’s Word, but we are hearers and doers of His Word.

When we know God, we begin to experience being re-created by Him. What He does in our mind through His Spirit germinates, sprouts, and the fruit appears: We don’t realize it at first that we do not look, nor sound, nor do we live our life the same. The fruit appears and is seen in every aspect, every detail of our living. We become obedient to God’s every word. He fills us with His glory, and we glorify Him in all we eat, in all we drink, in all we do; We do all in our living to glorify Him. How? Christ mind in us: The hope of glory. We are born of the Spirit of God! HalleluYah!

The soul’s mind is changed by beholding God in His word, in nature—not just reading to get through the holy Scriptures; but, to get to know and experience God, becoming changed by God—restored unto the image and after the likeness of the Godhead: The holy Trio. Oh what joy, peace, happiness! Oh what healing! Oh to be born again!!! Oh what peace! We shall know Him, and know the Spirit of Truth—We shall love the truth, we have the love of the Truth.

Know this for sure: It all begins in the mind!

We begin to not only live the love of God because His love is in us; We also look like Him in our demeanor, attitude, in our thinking, in the words we speak, in what we look at, watch, listen to; in our dress, and adornment, our lifestyle period. We are His witnesses of not only His pardon, His love but, also His power! He is the Lord God Who sanctifies us: Makes us holy, sets us apart holy for Himself, for holy use! For His purpose! HalleluYah!

See, we cannot ourselves change the outside—without God putting His Spirit in our mind by our faith and consent, and our complete surrender of self-will to Him daily. If we do not do this daily, He cannot, will not restore us, re-create us. Therefore, the changes we may make, or do on the outside is in vain. This kind of living does not remain, is not permanent, and the life is lived inconsistently—the soul is not content. The soul begins to doubt God, to give into Satan’s temptations yielding to him, contemplating upon the thoughts he plants subtly through various ways not discerned; and the soul begins to speak, and or do the thoughts planted in the mind by Satan. The soul begins to talk to self literally, and in their mind—they learn Satan’s voice as they listen to him in their own voice through Satan’s deceptions. They become deceived perceiving things in their own thinking in their consistency in yielding to Satan. Oh what dangerous ground the soul has placed their feet! This is all unbelief. This type of living is not believing Christ came in the flesh, lived victoriously over sin, died and resurrected that all mankind might be saved (might, because we each have a choice to be or not to be saved); it is not believing Christ is the Son of God. It is rejecting God. Unbelief is not believing—it is not loving God, not obeying God; it is speaking with the mouth words of serving, worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth, but, yet denying God in the day to day life choices, denying Him in the way one chooses to live life.

“Jesus 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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The 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.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When we know God, we by faith obey God loving Him: We keep His Ten Commandment Law, His Law, His way—His whole word: Instruction in righteousness; and His commandments are not grievous. They are our delight! We are positive and we receive of God that His ways, His law, His word is not a life of what we “can not do”; But! Is a life of all we “can do”, all “we will do” through Jesus Christ Who strengthens us.

We live God’s love: His very character. How? By faith, by our consent, by seeking Him to put His Spirit in us, to dwell in us—giving up self-will to His will, we bring ourselves under His subjection. We simply by faith have to choose daily, moment by moment Christ, and His will one hundred percent. The Holy Spirit labors in us, with us, through us. Oh what a temple of God we shall be for His Spirit to dwell in! HalleluYah!

“And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“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. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 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.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬-‭4‬, ‭6‬-‭9‬, ‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I pray each soul who reads this will by faith choose to surrender self completely to God to be re-created by Him, and experience knowing Him in this journey of learning: Life eternal: To know God, and Jesus Christ Who He sent.

Watch and pray. Watch, I tell you to watch. Be not deceived.

“But I tell you the truth…”

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.”

Have faith, and do not doubt

“Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

The days are shortened for who?

It will be so terrible, so many false prophets, so much lies and compromises taught and preached that if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived.

Let us read, digging deep for God’s knowledge, seeking Him for His Holy Spirit that we get understanding, and we shall have Wisdom.

Watch, watch I tell you. We must watch.

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains: let him which is on the house top not come down to take any thing out of his house: neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Judgement: By works

Who is our righteousness of? Is our righteousness Christ mind in us? Or, Is our righteousness self-righteousness—Christ mind is not in us?

We must examine ourselves by the Word of God, let Him teach us our own spiritual state. We will by faith open the door and invite Him all the way into our mind, body and life. He will be our Head and Center. Daily, moment by moment by faith this is our choice. He will fill us with His Spirit and His Spirit shall cause us to love God, obey Him, be one with Him. We shall become changed—we shall be restored unto His image, after His likeness. We shall be filled with His love—we will live His character.

Remember, what we choose to think becomes our words, and, or our actions—this is worship, but to who is our worship?

I pray we be found faith and on the right hand of the King, Yeshuah when He comes. Remember, what we say and do or don’t say and do to others, we say and, do; or don’t say and do, to God.

Where we are is training ground. The test shall come until we pass. The only way God will not continue to knock, seeking our heart is if we choose to not answer and we will our own way and please others and self rather than God; if we grieve away His Spirit. If we grieve away His Spirit, we are done. It is the Holy Spirit of God that does all the restoration of God’s image in us, that we are truly born again, re-created in His image and after His likeness.

Get and be ready. The time to be ready is almost finished. Wake up! Get up! Be ready, we know not the day nor the hour until that day, He tells us.

“When 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: and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then 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: for 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: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And 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.

Then 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: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then 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? Then 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. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:

but the righteous into life eternal.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭31‬-‭46‬ ‭KJV‬‬

That Hard Saying

“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
“Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
“For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
“He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him” (John 6:53-55 KJV).

The Jews were about to celebrate the Passover at Jerusalem, in commemoration of the night of Israel’s deliverance, when the destroying angel smote the homes of Egypt. In the paschal lamb God desired them to behold the Lamb of God, and through the symbol receive Him who gave Himself for the life of the world. But the Jews had come to make the symbol all-important, while its significance was unnoticed. They discerned not the Lord’s body. The same truth that was symbolized in the paschal service was taught in the words of Christ. But it was still undiscerned. DA 388.3

Now the rabbis exclaimed angrily, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?” They affected to understand His words in the same literal sense as did Nicodemus when he asked, “How can a man be born when he is old?” John 3:4. To some extent they comprehended the meaning of Jesus, but they were not willing to acknowledge it. By misconstruing His words, they hoped to prejudice the people against Him. DA 389.1

Christ did not soften down His symbolical representation. He reiterated the truth in yet stronger language: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him.” DA 389.2

To eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ is to receive Him as a personal Saviour, believing that He forgives our sins, and that we are complete in Him. It is by beholding His love, by dwelling upon it, by drinking it in, that we are to become partakers of His nature. What food is to the body, Christ must be to the soul. Food cannot benefit us unless we eat it, unless it becomes a part of our being. So Christ is of no value to us if we do not know Him as a personal Saviour. A theoretical knowledge will do us no good. We must feed upon Him, receive Him into the heart, so that His life becomes our life. His love, His grace, must be assimilated. DA 389.3

But even these figures fail to present the privilege of the believer’s relation to Christ. Jesus said, “As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.” As the Son of God lived by faith in the Father, so are we to live by faith in Christ. So fully was Jesus surrendered to the will of God that the Father alone appeared in His life. Although tempted in all points like as we are, He stood before the world untainted by the evil that surrounded Him. Thus we also are to overcome as Christ overcame. DA 389.4

Are you a follower of Christ? Then all that is written concerning the spiritual life is written for you, and may be attained through uniting yourself to Jesus. Is your zeal languishing? has your first love grown cold? Accept again of the proffered love of Christ. Eat of His flesh, drink of His blood, and you will become one with the Father and with the Son.DA 389.5

The unbelieving Jews refused to see any except the most literal meaning in the Saviour’s words. By the ritual law they were forbidden to taste blood, and they now construed Christ’s language into a sacrilegious speech, and disputed over it among themselves. Many even of the disciples said, “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” DA 390.1

The Saviour answered them: “Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” DA 390.2

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for life, for Jesus, for Your Word and for clarity. Please bless us to be truly one with You as You are with Your Son Jesus, our Savior, in whose name I pray and thank You. Amen.

If you normally receive these devotionals as a text, please note that several emergencies happened to interrupt the normal sequence of delivery, including tech issues and the recent passing of my mother.

I expect more interruptive challenges in 2024, as I coordinate seminars and conferences online or onsite in June, September, October, and November. Join us! Visit https://www.ucheepines.org/events

Therefore, if you miss a devotional text from me, visit  

https://baiom.org/author/audreystovall/

where devotionals are first posted. From there devotionals are shared to my page on FB, LinkedIn, and Signal (in Stories).

NOTEThese devotionals began as daily texts to encourage my academy roommate and dear friend of nearly 50 years, until she suddenly passed March 2023. Now I continue to compile and send them to anyone who will receive them and to her family in honor of their mom. 

It is a prayerful process that may lead me to share from my personal study a Bible verse or passage and suitable commentary (or vice versa) and add a prayer. Some days, only a Scripture and prayer are ordered. I might even add a song. 

Lately, I have begun featuring consecutive chapter portions of a select Bible-based book.

If you agree to continue receiving them, then this is my personal gift to you and in this way, I not only honor God but the memory of a very dear friend whom I desperately miss.

These are posted at baiom.org and shared on FaceBook and LinkedIn. I also text to my family, other loved ones, and contacts that add up to more than 120.

My personal prayer is that God will bless me to find ways to multiply this gift, so that we all may be encouraged to be found faithful in the sight of a Holy God, whenever Christ returns or our eyes are shut in the sleep of death.

So please feel free to forward to your loved ones or to anyone, as God leads you. I’m calling them Barb’s Devotionals.

Also Note! If at any time you prefer to stop receiving these as texts, then simply reply “Stop.”

Give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness

“I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. I cried to thee, O LORD; And unto the LORD I made supplication.

What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭30‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Praise ye the Lord.

Do we have it? Prove it!

We who say we love God, we must have a perfect hatred for sin! Yes, need I say it again?

I will put it this way. We who love the Lord shall have a perfect hatred for sin! We will have zero tolerance for sin! We will not look back at it in videos and pictures as if while remembering we think to say “those were the good old days”. But, that we will say thank You Lord for your mercy and your grace delivering me in Christ name. We will not laugh at it, nor smile at it, nor pay God’s money to go watch it, nor use God’s money to go buy it and bring it home to watch it. We will not turn it on the television to watch it—supporting and help employ them to keep putting sin out there to watch. We will not be entertained by it nor find amusement in it. We will not turn it on the radio or record player or CD player etc. to listen to it. We will not use God’s money to buy and eat it, nor buy and smoke it, nor buy and wear it, nor to buy and drink it! We will not speak it. We will not spread it, gossip about it; we will not even want it in our hearing! We will loathe it! We will not even think it! If Satan through his devils try to bring it to our subconscious, we will rebuke it in the name of Jesus; we will submit ourselves unto God, resist the devil, and he will flee from us.

Get the picture? We who are called by the name of the Lord will not take pleasure in sin no matter what form it presents itself to us! We who are God’s who are called by His name, are not to resemble the world in no way, shape, or form. In no way are we to resemble the world and its master the Devil. We who are God’s are to abstain from all appearance of evil. We who are God’s repent and are converted. We who are God’s are sanctified and covered with the righteousness of Christ!

The “Day” matters

The day we offer up worship to God absolutely, unequivocally matters to Him. Period.

All throughout God’s holy scriptures He makes very clear what He requires of His people. He relays to us clearly in great detail. There is no room for doubt. Study through His word, first seek God in prayer for His Holy Spirit, and be guided into all truth, and given understanding.

From the very beginning, the issue with Cain was that he was upset, angry that God did not accept his worship; but, that He accepted Abel’s worship. Abel obeyed God, did exactly what God told him—he didn’t substitute anything, nor did he think that he could do something better than what God told him to do. Cain worshipped God how he wanted to. Cain disobeyed, disregarded God.

In every day we live in this earth, in all our living, in our marriages, in everywhere we go, in all that we do, every choice we make—in everything we daily live worship unto God or Satan. The choices we make daily are evidence of who our father/master is: God or Satan. Still there is only one day—the seventh (Saturday) in which God inhabits, His holiness is filled up in the entire day. We are to keep it holy: Cherish Him, hold Him near and dear in our minds; protect, guard our sacred time and union with Him. Remember, God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. God is righteous and in Him is no unrighteousness.

The seventh day is the Lord’s day: Christ said He is Lord of the sabbath: The seventh day. God only blessed, sanctified holy the seventh day. The seventh day—the sabbath is holy “ground”. God does not play about His holy things. The seventh day—the Sabbath is more than just ”a day”. The Sabbath is Who God is for it contains, it is filled up with His holy presence, His very existence—the seventh day He blessed and sanctified it. Period.

“For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Sabbath is holy ground” because of God’s presence —just like the ground on which Moses stood, and the bush burned but was not consumed. Read Exodus 3:2-6 KJV.

The first day of the week (Sunday) is the first work day of the week. Period. The first day through the sixth day God declared all He created each day “good”. At the end of creation, He declared “very good”.

The first day through the sixth day God did not bless, sanctify holy. They are days we are to be about our daily living, laboring, all the daily life task: Laboring earning wages, cooking, cleaning, paying bills, taking care of finances, common activities, all common talk, etc.

God gave us six days to do all that pertains to our physical lives daily, in which we are to put Him first having time with Him in prayer, study of His word early before we go about our day, and before we lay down for the night—early to rise, early to bed. We have balance—balancing being in harmony with God every day—by faith, by His Spirit living by every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God.

Read Exodus 16:28-30 KJV

“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Know that the Sabbath, the seventh day (now known as Saturday) is set aside for holy use. God is holy, His people are to be holy. We by faith love the Sabbath, we delight in it, and we live unto God loving Him supremely. The blessings in keeping His Sabbath holy are extras! Praise God!

“If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The conclusion of the whole matter:

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Love Doctrine

God’s commandments are not done away, not nailed to the cross—quite the contrary. Keeping them is loving Him and not trying to be saved. We are already saved: Christ paid the penalty of sin for us saving us from the penalty of sin: The second death. The keeping, observing, doing of God’s commandments is the character, the lifestyle of the saved of God. The love of God imbued in His Ten Commandment law. They all are His love. They are not restrictions. They are the evidence of faith, of the love of God in the soul. We live His Word as we live and breathe the life He breathes into us.

The commandments are kept by those who have the faith and the mind of Christ. Through the power of the Holy Ghost, God’s will and His work can be done according to His good pleasure.

It is written:

Matthew 19:17 KJV And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Romans 10:5 KJV For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

Matthew 22:36-40 KJV
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Mark 12:29-31 KJV

Luke 10:25-28 KJV
[25] And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? [26] He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? [27] And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. [28] And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

John 14:21-24 KJV
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. [22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? [23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

1 John 2:3-7 KJV
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. [6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. [7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

Leviticus 19:18 KJV Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Deuteronomy 6:5-8 KJV
[5] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. [6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: [7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. [8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Proverbs 3:1-4 KJV
[1] My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: [2] For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. [3] Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: [4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Deuteronomy 11:13-14 KJV
[13] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, [14] That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

2 John 1:9-11 KJV
[9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. [10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: [11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

2 John 1:5-6 KJV
[5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. [6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

To do away with the Ten Commandments is to do away with the love of God. If that happens, the soul only loves self, Satan, death; and they will receive eternal death.

By faith, choose life, choose Christ right now, today. Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Surrender yourself wholly to Him, and He will not turn you away—He will receive you.

Where are you standing?

People say they belong to God. They call Jesus Christ their Lord. Yet, they do not do the things He says do.

On the other hand, they obey and do all they have been indoctrinated to do—with no questions asked. They even try to make it relate to Christ, when God has nothing to do with it.

What we do, how we live, our deportment, and the one we obey reveals the object of our worship and service. Remember this. The one we serve is our master.

Let me say it like this. Stop playing around. Get off Satan’s ground. Stop believing the lies whispered in your ears by Satan’s workers of iniquity. They take delight in sin and even plan to sin again and again. Yes. Sadly, some of them you love and obey: your spouse, your children, your parents, your siblings, your kinfolk. They may be your friends, your co-workers, your pastor. You get the idea.

But get this. Condemnation comes upon you, when you reject truth. You condemn yourself, when you call the truth a lie. The Bible lets us know that when we don’t love truth, but take pleasure in sinning, we will receive strong delusions and believe lies. (Read 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12.) This is why one falls, again and again.

Sadly, souls will be lost, because they did not believe the truth. Souls will be lost, because they do not and did not cherish and protect or be careful to observe and do God’s law of love. They rejected His law of liberty and freedom. Souls will be lost, because they loved darkness, rather than light. They chose and still choose to be in bondage, trying to do away with God’s law.

Understand this. We do what we believe. Period.

We are not consistent in doing what we don’t cherish. We will not continue doing what we don’t believe. We will not keep doing what we don’t love doing.

God’s law is for governing His people. Many want Christ as their Savior; but they don’t want Him as their Lord.

It is written: If you love me, keep my commandments.

God sees who you love, cherish and obey. He knows. Be careful where and on whose ground you set your feet. That is the ground on which you build your future.

Sound the trumpet! Give the warning!

Our first duty is to those in our own homes. Then we can more effectively work outside for our relatives, our kinfolk, and finally others.

We who choose by faith to daily to die, daily to know God deeper and deeper, and to truly love God: We become true keepers of His Commandments, true doers of His word: the just shall live by faith. This is a work He does in us through the Holy Spirit.

He has called us to be watchmen in our homes, to our relatives, to our friends, in the workplace, to anyone else we meet in passing. We daily sound the trumpet: whether it be a verbal warning call or physical warning (by how we live our lives, how we carry ourselves, words we speak).

We do not compromise God’s word for no one, for nothing. Compromising truth will never lead another to truth. Comprising truth only gives Satan more control to keep us in bondage to sin—unclean spirits rule coming and going as they please—using us causing havoc, and disobeying God: Haring God no matter our profession. Disobedience to God is hating God, loving death.

Our daily choices witness to whether or not we are God’s faithful witnesses, His watchmen, or not.

Whether we truly know God, love God, or love others as ourselves is reflected by The Ten Commandment Law written in our heart (mind), or not.

There is not one moment that we are not to be on the wall watching, ready to give the warning call. Whether people want to hear it or not, we are to by faith obey the voice of God, according to the Word of God. Let the consequences then fall where they may.

If we fail to give the warning call, because we are so concerned about what people might think, or say, or how they will perceive it, etcetera; we ourselves sin against God.

If we continue in this course, we will not be delivered—saved: we will not receive God’s salvation.

Because of not giving they in our home, our relatives, and others the warning to turn away from evil, from their iniquities, from their transgressions, from their wicked ways, and to surrender their all to God; or because our lives we lived before them speak inconsistencies, backsliding for the sake and approval of our children, parents, siblings, so-called friends, or for the sake of money and position and titles, or because of covetousness, because of holding on to our past living in sin as though they were “the good old days”: We fail God our loving heavenly Father, and others—our spouse, our children, relatives, others, and contribute to their eternal loss. But! HalleluYah! If we confess and repent, God will forgive us, convert us—our sins are blotted out; we are born again. Praise God that He is long suffering with us.

“Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: if when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
(‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭33‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

By God’s grace, I know my place. By faith, I choose to answer God’s call and remain His chosen. I choose by faith to do what it is my duty to do: Be His witness, the watchman He calls me to be; to be His servant, His daughter, His ambassador that I go forward and serve others loving God, loving others, loving myself.

We through the Spirit sound the trumpet, the warning call “Jesus is coming back soon. Get ready. Be ready.” “Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation.” “Repent and be converted that your sins be blotted out, that you be born again.” “Be not deceived.” “Repent for God’s judgment is now.”

When we see Christ come, it will be too late to prepare, too late to get ready. The time is now. Today, hear God’s voice. Harden not your heart. Surrender one-hundred percent to God today, and then each and every day forward—even moment by moment.

“See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There have been so many different opinions and ideas about this subject. Even some have gone so far as to say that nobody knows who they are and that it isn’t important to talk about it. Why such a position some take is a sad thing to my mind. Some of my dear brethren of this wonderful Third Angel’s Message go as far as to say that they don’t worry about being in the 144,000, just since they are saved.

Now my dear brethren, let’s face the facts about this wonder message. First, it is the Sealing Message, which began October 22, 1844, the same message we find in Revelation 7. Also, it is the same message we find in Revelation 14, of which there are only two identifications that is being given to those who will be saved and to those who will be lost. The saved will receive the Seal of God and the lost, the Mark of the Beast. Now my beloved one, consider this. Those of us that have been identified in this message have only two choices: Number One, the Seal of God; Number Two, the Mark of the Beast. Now if you are saved, you will receive the Seal of God. Second, if you are sealed, you will be in the 144,000. Third, if you are not sealed, you will receive the Mark of the Beast.

So dear ones, according to the standards set before us, it does matter if you are not in the 144,000. For all that will be saved in this message will be sealed with the Seal of the Living God. Others will receive the Mark of the Beast. So because of this steadfast, unmovable fact, if you are not in the 144,000, you will be lost forever.

Now there are those who contend that those who die before Christ comes won’t be in the 144,000, because they won’t be here on earth to be translated.

Now I’m forced to make a correction of this contention. For according to Daniel 12:1-2, there is a partial resurrection, which will take place during the time of trouble when Michael the Great Prince will stand up to deliver his people, and those righteous who will be resurrected when the graves are open will be those who have died in faith under the Third Angel’s Message, keeping the Sabbath. You will find this statement in the Early Writings, by Sr. Ellen G. White, on page 285, under the subject, “Deliverance of the Saints.”

Now let’s consider the last sentence of the first paragraph. We read, “There was a mighty earthquake. The graves were opened, and those who had died in faith under the Third Angel’s Message, keeping the Sabbath, came forth from their dusty beds, glorified, to hear the covenant of peace that God was to make with those who had kept His law.”

Now may I call your attention to the fact that this great event of the resurrection of the ones who had died in faith under the Third Angel’s Message takes place during the sixth plague or just before the seventh plague takes place. Now remember these saints only come up from the grave in their mortal bodies, glorified as Moses was glorified when he came down from Mt. Sinai, when he was through talking with God. These Sabbath keepers will be here walking around waiting for Christ to come to be changed from mortal to immortality and translated with the rest of the 144,000.

Now some of those who died in faith under this message are Brother White and Brother Uriah Smith, Sr. White and others.

For we read, “On page 33 of Experience and Views (old edition), she speaks of what the angel told her while she was viewing Saturn. “I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I could not bear the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then the angel said you must go back and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000 shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God.” That surely proves the fact that some of the 144,000 will be those who will have been raised from the dead. QSM 25.2

“Notwithstanding these facts in the testimonies presented, it is still urged by some of our brethren that what is said in Great Controversy, page 649, show that the 144,000 will be composed wholly of those who have never died. Now let us see what is said and the conditions under which the statement occurs. Here it is said these having been translated from the earth, from among the living, are counted as the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. The Sabbath keepers resurrected to eternal life will surely be among the living at the second coming of Christ. These are they which come out of great tribulations. They have passed through the time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation, that trouble of the nation will be under the sixth plague and it is at that time, according to Dan. 12:1, that the partial resurrection will take place, bring up the Sealed Sabbath keepers. This will be when the seventh plague is yet to come. Of the situation at that time, we read in Experiences and Views, page 29, these plagues enrage the wicked against the righteous. They said that we had brought the Judgment of God upon them and that if they could rid the earth of us the plagues would be stopped. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob’s trouble. Then all the saints cried out with anguish of spirit and were delivered by the voice of God. The 144,000 triumphed. Their faces were lighted up with the Glory of God. We have already seen that this glorification takes places with the resurrection of Sabbath keepers, as well as those who had not died when God delivers the everlasting covenant on those who had honored Him by keeping His Sabbath. QSM 26.1

Of this scene we read in Spiritual Gifts, page 143 [201.1], “I saw a writing, and copies of it scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders, that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, [the people] were at liberty, after a certain time, to put them to death . . . Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them, for God would be honored by making a covenant with those who had kept His law, in the sight of the heathen around them; and Jesus would be honored by translating, without their seeing death, the faithful, waiting ones who had so long expected Him.” Keeping the law “in the sight of the heathen” was in the sight of these inquisitors who had the decree to put them to death, and not to death in the ordinary sense, under calm conditions. QSM 27.1

“It is from this testimony, translating without seeing death, that the claim has been made that none will be among the Sealed 144,000 but those who live until Christ’s actual second coming. Now the death they are saved from is the death permitted by the papers circulated. Bear in mind that the resurrected Sabbath keepers are included among the covenantees. So they are to be translated at Christ’s coming, without suffering the threatened death. By this decree, they are brought in “the time of Jacob’s trouble.” His trouble was the news that Essau was coming with 400 armed men. Unless the Lord should aid him, it looked like death to him and his whole family. QSM 28.1

Now, “There is another testimony from Great Controversy, page 649, used by those who claim that none who have died in the Message will be among the 144,000: “They have stood without an intercessor through the final outpouring of God’s judgments. For they have been delivered, for they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb . . . they have seen the earth wasted with famine and pestilence, the sun having power to scorch men with great heat, and they themselves have endured suffering, hunger and thirst.” This is what is said of the whole 144,000, and in part will be true of the resurrected Sabbath keepers; for they endure the time of Jacob’s trouble. They are raised under the sixth plague and see the final outpouring of God’s judgment under the seventh plague and are among those delivered from this decree of death. QSM 29.1

My Brother and My Sister in the faith, I’m burdened to make plain the necessity of knowing the full truth of the 144,000, because in knowing the whole truth about this subject, it will cause those of us who are sincere about their salvation to walk closer in the path of righteousness. For it is so true that 144,000 is a very small number that will so shape their lives according to the pattern that God has set before us. In all ages of the church there has been only a small number that was saved. When the message of the flood was preached by Noah there were only eight saved. Noah preached 120 years of the coming destruction of the world by water, and only those were saved who obeyed the Message. Also in Lot’s time when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, cities of about 500,000, just only three were saved that obeyed the Message.

Now my dear brethren, we read in the Book of Luke 12:32, these words, “Fear not little flock for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Oh my God, help us to think upon this close and narrow path and walk therein, for the time is too short for us to ignore the facts of this truth.

We read in Matthew 7:13-14, these words, “Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate; and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

Now there are those who will say, “What about the thousands of heathens who accept the truth of the Sabbath?” and “Jesus died for them too!” But there will be thousands who accept the Sabbath who will never come into the full knowledge of the Third Angel’s Message. But thank God in His mercy, He has power to save them. But that does not excuse us who have the knowledge of this wonderful message, for where there is much light there is much required.

Now at this point may we consider another blessing that is pronounced upon those who died in the Lord in this Third Angel’s Message. Now let’s consider this text of Scripture, Rev. 14:13, which reads as follows: “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” From henceforth must signify from some particular point of time. Then the question will be asked, “What point?”

Without a doubt “from the commencement of this Message. But why are those who die after this point of time blessed? There must be some special reason for pronouncing this benediction upon them. Is it not because they escape the time of fearful peril, which the saints are to encounter as they close their pilgrimage? And while they are thus blessed in common with all the righteous dead, they have an advantage over them in being doubtless that company spoken of in Daniel 12:2, who are raised to everlasting life at the standing up of Michael. Thus escaping the periods through which the rest of the 144,000 pass, they rise, and share with them in their final triumph here, and occupy with them their preeminent place in the kingdom. In this way, we understand their works follow them.” DAR 634.1

Some people, more especially since 1894, have claimed that none will be reckoned among the 144,000 that have passed through the grave. This conclusion is drawn because the testimony we read in Great Controversy, page 649, is taken out of its proper setting and misapplied, not considering why and what reason this testimony was given. God’s prophets never make a statement, then later change it. The prophets of old didn’t do it, and the prophet that God gave the Remnant Church didn’t do it. For Sr. White makes it plain that those that died in faith in the Third Angel’s Message, including herself, would be in the 144,000. I could give testimony upon testimony proving this fact.

But I do pray that all of our believers study the testimonies diligently. The book Early Writingsis a wonderful book to read and study. It will do your soul good. I get happy just reading it.

Now my dear readers, this information about my study and knowledge of the 144,000 will help you. I can truthfully say I have made a study of this subject–I mean a special study for more than 25 years. I have even tried to see it in the light that some teach; but when I compare the teaching of this new light, this new idea of the 144,000 came about since 1894, now the more I compare these facts, I’m more convinced that the facts and proof and testimonies that I have found are steadfast and unmovable. I am sure no student of God’s word and the testimonies would try to prove other than what I have presented on this subject.

There is a special note in Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith, on page 634 (old edition), which reads as follows: “Those who die after having become identified with the Third Angel’s Message are evidently numbered as a part of the 144,000, for this is the same as the Sealing message of Revelation 7, and by this message only 144,000 were Sealed. But there are many who have had their entire religious experience under this message, but have fallen in death. They die in the Lord and hence[forth] are counted as Sealed; for they will be saved. But the message results in the sealing of 144,000; therefore, they must be included in that number, being raised in the special resurrection (Dan. 12:2; Rev. 1:7) which occurs when the voice of God is uttered from the temple at the beginning of the seventh and last plague, Rev. 16:7; Joel 3:16; Heb. 12:26. They pass through the period of that plague and hence may be said to come out of great tribulation, (Rev. 7:14) and being raised from the grave only to mortal life, they take their stand with believers who have not died and with them receive immortality at the last triumph [trump] (1 Cor. 15:52) being then with the others changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. Thus though they have passed through the grave, it can be said of them, at least [last], that they are redeemed from among men (Rev 14:4). That is from among the living. For the coming of Christ finds them among the living waiting for the change to immortality, like those who have not died and as if they themselves had never died.”

Sr. White said the angel of the Lord guided Uriah Smith’s hands as he penned the words of Daniel and the Revelation, and if the angel guided him, he made no mistakes.

Now let us consider the justice of God. I’m sure if those of us who give most of their Christian experience in this Message, and fall in death, God would not deprive them of the promised blessing that he is to pronounce upon those that keep His law. Therefore, those that are living in this Message now have no preeminence over them that have died in the Message. For those that have died in the Message will be raised before Christ comes to share with those who have not died, the everlasting covenant and the blessing that God is to pronounce upon all of those that have gotten victory over the Beast and His image. May God help us to live so close to Him that we may receive the Seal of God and be saved in the kingdom of God.

Now if there is still a doubt of the ones who died in the faith in the Third Angel’s Message being in the 144,000, I would like to call your attention to a statement by Elder J. N. Loughbrough, one of the old pioneers of the Message, who died some few years ago. I quote: “At the General Conference in 1909, Elder Irwin had a stenographer to accompany him in a call upon Sr. White. He wished to ask her some questions and have an exact copy of the words of the replies. Among other questions was this one, ‘Will those who have died in the message be among the 144,000?’ In reply, Sr. White said: ‘Oh yes, those who have died in faith will be among the 144,000. I am clear on that matter’.” These were the exact words of the question and answer as Brother Irwin permitted me to copy from his stenographer’s report. QSM 31.1

So you see my dear readers, I’m not the only one who is convinced on the truth of this wonderful subject. There are many who know the truth of this subject. I thank God for this wonderful Message and the knowledge of it. May God help all of us to live close to Him and walk as He walked.

We are in perilous times…

God warned us. He said “perilous times” would come. Take heed, therefore, and listen to God’s voice. By faith, choose to do whatever He says to do. Remember, the just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4). Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). It was lack of faith that kept the very people He delivered out of Egypt from entering into Canaan, the promised land.

Will your choice to not live by faith be your destruction, your ruin? I pray not.

Hear the words of God through His servant:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and 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. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬).

Changed

A question or two for you… But don’t answer me. Just think about it, and go to God. Thank you.

Why willfully change, if you are not going to visibly live the change? Why willfully surrender to transformation, if you are not going to put it to good use?

If you are mentally going to remain the same, then you will spiritually remain the same. And your freewill change or transformation will be in vain. Ultimately, you will return to your vomit. Ultimately, you are really the same. It is just that your true self is dormant. The real you is still there in the shadows. Waiting.

God has given to every man a measure of faith.

Exercise it. Use it to surrender to Him. Choose by the faith given to you of God to surrender to Him. Receive God’s gift of repentance. Repent. Let Him convert you.

Then with His Spirit in you, having His faith, choose to do His will with the change He has worked in you and for you and through you. God tells us if we love Him, we will do what He says. Think on that.

Meditate on the Word of God. Be led and guided into all truth by the Spirit of God, Who will also give you understanding.

Choose by faith and the Power of God to be that one He put life in you to be. Live to please God. Live to glorify God. Live, being edified in truth, in God. Then edify others in truth by God.

Lemon: A Natural Deodorant!

Are you having a hard time finding the right deodorant? Let me help. It’s easier than you think. Well, let me first tell you to choose one that will both allow you to sweat and keep you odor free. That may be hard, if you are looking for an antiperspirant. You need to sweat!

Perspiration (sweating) is the major way our body regulates its temperature.

Everybody sweats!

Read about sweat and body odor. You need to understand what causes sweat and body odor. When you do, you will probably agree with me. I do not recommend using antiperspirants.

I have personally tried lemon and lime. Both work great!

I just cut a lime or lemon in half and apply directly on my armpits. Sometimes, my body just likes the lime better, sometimes lemon. I noticed that I could still smell the freshness of the lime after walking and sweating outdoors in 85-degree weather. I have tried numerous DIY deodorants. They did not work for me at all. The lemon/lime are all that I use once a day. Sometimes, I don’t need to apply more on for two days!

Tip: I store my lemons and limes wrapped up, placed in my fridge.

Click on the links below and read why the lemon/lime is a great deodorant.

Lemon juice

Lime: It’s natural and gentle. I love the smell.

Everyone is different. Lifestyle and dietary choices are different. But try the lemon/lime option and see if it will work for you.

I have observed from my own experiences and testimonies from others that a whole-food plant-based diet allows for better results when using lemon/lime or other natural remedies. These persons also tend to exercise daily, drink plenty of water, get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, seven to nine hours of rest and sleep nightly. They also practice temperance, meaning that they don’t drink alcoholic beverages or smoke or consume toxins. And they daily spend quality time with God in prayer and in the study of His word. This lifestyle is a gift from God.

If we sow the best food, water, etc., lifestyle, we shall reap the best health.

“For His mercy endureth for ever”

Psalm‬ ‭136‬:‭1‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: For his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: For his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks to the Lord of Lords: For his mercy endureth for ever. To him who alone doeth great wonders: For his mercy endureth for ever. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: For his mercy endureth for ever.

To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: For his mercy endureth for ever. To him that made great lights: For his mercy endureth for ever: The sun to rule by day: For his mercy endureth for ever: The moon and stars to rule by night: For his mercy endureth for ever. To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: For his mercy endureth for ever: And brought out Israel from among them: For his mercy endureth for ever: With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: For his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which divided the Red sea into parts: For his mercy endureth for ever: And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: For his mercy endureth for ever: But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: For his mercy endureth for ever. To him which led his people through the wilderness: For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate: For his mercy endureth for ever: And hath redeemed us from our enemies: For his mercy endureth for ever. Who giveth food to all flesh: For his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: For his mercy endureth for ever.”

Remember, Elohim keeps His promises

“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: Make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: Talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: Seek his face evermore. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the LORD our God: His judgments are in all the earth.”

“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few men in number; Yea, very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm.”

“Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread. He sent a man before them, Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: Whose feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in iron: Until the time that his word came: The word of the LORD tried him. The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. He made him Lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance: To bind his princes at his pleasure; And teach his senators wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. And he increased his people greatly; And made them stronger than their enemies.”

“He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtilly with his servants. He sent Moses his servant; And Aaron whom he had chosen. They shewed his signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his word. He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish. Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, In the chambers of their kings. He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, And lice in all their coasts.”

“He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig trees; And brake the trees of their coasts. He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: And there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: For the fear of them fell upon them.”

“He spread a cloud for a covering; And fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, And Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness: And gave them the lands of the heathen: And they inherited the labour of the people; That they might observe his statutes, And keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.”

Psalm 105: 1-45 KJV

The household… A building built upon Him and is His habitation…

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Wherefore 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; that 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:

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having 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; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

Life has not been hidden nor spoken in secret…

God has not hidden, nor spoken His word in secret. We are to hear His command, speak His word, keep His commandments, and His judgements and do them. The knowledge not hidden is the Word, is the gospel, is the commandment, is the law of God, is Life.

“For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; in that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭11‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭48‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The conclusion is that nothing is hidden from God’s sheep: They who love God obey God. They receive God’s blessings and not curses. They hear His voice, they speak and do the word written in their heart: They follow Him: They believe and call on His name: They do (believe, obey) what He has said. Therefore, they call Him Lord. These shall live because they chose by faith to live: to have Life and good. The Lord God is our life. Do we believe? Do we know this?

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Secret things are given to who, by Whom?

“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV

“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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬-‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭63‬-‭65‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Grace

The Ground Of Grace

“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Departure From Grace

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Divine Revelation: The Gospel Of Grace

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: and profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; and was unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:

but they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me.”

Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭10-24 KJV‬‬

Promised blessings for obedience

By faith, power of God through His Holy Spirit He puts in us; we choose to be, and are obedient to God because of our love for Him because He first loved us. He promises His obedient children blessings. Read some of His promised blessings below as listed in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 KJV:

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”

Dry bones can be restored

Are you spiritually dead? Are you as these dead bones? Choose Life today. Glean from God’s word. Be blessed, restored, revived. If you are as these dry bones, rejoice for God is the Restorer, and the Life-giver to they who choose Life. Repent and be converted. Turn away from your wicked ways, be born again.

Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭1‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV

“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, and caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: and join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: and I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.”

Faith

The Bible defines faith. Hebrews 11:1-3 (KJV) reads, [1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [2] For by it the elders obtained a good report. [3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The Bible describes the power of faith. I John 5:4 (KJV) says, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

Faith is the evidence of already having the victory over sin and being justified (cleared and forgiven of all past sins), when we come to Christ fully surrendered unto Him. Then we learn more of Him. We learn of His ways. We learn of His love. We are baptized having victory. You see, as a person is baptized into Christ, it is the same as putting on Christ (Galatians 3:26, 27). It is all by faith that victory is won. Oh, what faith!

Faith is having no doubt. No doubt at all. Faith is knowing Elohim will do what the Word says He will do. Faith is not us saying “We will do it.” Faith is knowing that it is God that does it in and through us. Elohim puts His Spirit in us, and His Spirit causes us to obey Him. According unto our faith, what we ask according to His will is given to us. We must, however, believe and pray in the Spirit.

Yes. Faith is knowing. “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

The faith of Y’Shua is complete when exact obedience is rendered unto Elohim. It happens when self-will is daily, wholly, fully, and completely surrendered to the governing will of God.

We live by faith, believing and having victory over sin.

We live by faith. We pray in faith. We give God thanks in faith, knowing we already have the victory.

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians, informs believers today to be thankful before we see it in action. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57, KJV).

In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul adds, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” (2 Corinthians 2:14, KJV).

We must believe this. We already have the victory. Satan is already defeated. Christ is in us. We are no longer children of darkness, walking in darkness. We are no longer children of the night. Our sins were left in the grave. We are resurrected with Christ in us. We have victory over sin. We are resurrected in Christ a new creature. Old things are passed away. All things become new.

We in Christ are to have the faith of Y’Shua. It is sad in this day, however, that it is as it was in old times: that God’s people do not exercise the faith Christ gave. To all His created beings He gave a measure of faith. But He can only increase that faith as we are exercising it, putting into action the measure of faith He already put in us.

The centurion that beseeched Christ to heal his servant was considered a heathen. Yet, he refused to have Christ do any more than speak the word of healing while He was still a distance from the one needing the healing. This showed great faith in Christ. Christ said he had not seen so great a faith in all of Israel (professed believers in God).

Matthew 8:10-13 KJV
[10] When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. [11] And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. [12] But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [13] And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.

There are many that profess to know God. Their outward appearances may seem so. The words they speak, the sermons they preach, the doctrines they teach: all may seem so. But their living does not show faith. Whatsoever is not done in faith is sin. Truly, if the Spirit of God is in us, we will not sin. If His seed remains in us, we cannot sin (1 John 3:9).

Thank God for His gift of repentance! When we are converted, we will encourage the brethren. We will live by faith. For the just shall live by faith. We are saved by grace through faith. Many focus on the grace and overlook the faith.

“Cast not away therefore your confidence (your faith!), which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” (Hebrews 10:35, 36 KJV).

Faith in God and His Word is the power of all true victory! Come on! Hallelujah!

Don’t seem to come short of it…

Hebrews 4:1-13 KJV

“Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.”

“Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.”

“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”

There remains God’s seventh day rest unto His people. The seventh day is now known as Saturday. The first day is when Christ resurrected from the grave. The first day is now known as Sunday.

Christ power to save…

Isaiah 62:1-12 KJV
For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord ; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Amen

Ready? But you’re still naked!

Without a second thought, many get into public pools. They never stop to think that the others could be molesters, murderers, adulterers, perverts, liars, demons, or even positive for STDs or other diseases. Public pools float urine, bodily discharge and gasses in a harsh chemical, chlorine.

Most would disagree with me. Responses would go something like this: But everyone does it! It has always been done. What’s wrong with that? They would probably shake their heads and walk away. Maybe you’re shaking your head now. But hold on.

Have you ever thought about the fact that you are really taking a bath with some or maybe all of those mentioned above? A bath is private. It is intimate. Have you ever thought about the fact that you are absorbing into your bloodstream the toxins of others? It is bad enough that you are reabsorbing that which your own system expelled.

Let me get back to my real theme.

Have you thought about the fact that you are naked out in public? Have you thought about exposing yourself to potentially dangerous people, even besides the ones mentioned above?

In God’s eyes, souls that are not covered are naked.

Think about it like this. Would you invite anyone, especially strangers, into your home, let alone greet them in your underwear? Worse! Would you invite them into your tub?

Really. Swimsuits, shorts, tank tops, tanks or spaghetti strap dresses, miniskirts: all are colorful underwear. They are disguised in colors and patterns, like clothes. If they were not disguised, you would not wear them in public. You would not open the door. If they came inside your home, you would hide or quickly cover yourself.

It is really something that no thought is given to being naked out in public.

Disguised nakedness is one of Satan’s specialties. He disguises a lot of things, because he knows that many would not follow him, if he just put things out there as they really are.

If you profess to love God, go to Him before doing things, before going places, before wearing just anything. Know beforehand whether it is pleasing in God’s sight or not.

So I work…

Is there any day of the week you would choose not to be healed and made whole? Likewise, is there any day of the week that you would refuse a blessing of health and wholeness to anyone?

“And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work” (John 5:16-17 KJV).

This healing of wholeness Christ did abundantly, especially on His Holy Sabbath—the seventh day of the week. Especially on the Sabbath, Jesus taught the Word. Christ assembled on His Sabbath worshiping His Father in Spirit and in truth, in holy fellowship teaching and preaching His Father’s word. He taught all His Father’s commands. He taught the Old Testament prophecies, which spoke of Himself. He taught of the Holy Spirit. He introduced the Holy Spirit as the One who would comfort us and teach us the Word of God, guiding us into all truth and giving us divine knowledge and understanding.

In His teaching, Christ fed and gave drink to those who hungered and thirsted for Life: The written Word of God, Christ—the Word made flesh, and the power of the Holy Spirit. They ate of Christ and hungered no more; they drank water of Him and thirsted no more. They were healed spiritually and physically by the faith of Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit they left to sin no more.

Christ healed, saying, ”Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee” (John 5:14, KJV).

“When 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? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:10-12, KJV).

“When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee” (Mark 2:5, KJV).

“And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house” (Mark 2:8-11, KJV).

The good that is lawful to do on God’s holy Sabbath (in His very presence and on holy ground) is that which by faith is for saving souls, saving life, relieving pain and suffering (including applying treatments for the same). It involves feeding them spiritually and physically that God might heal them and make them whole.

“Nature must continue her work, or man would die. And man also has a work to do on this day. The necessities of life must be attended to, the sick must be cared for, the wants of the needy must be supplied. God does not desire His creatures to suffer an hour’s pain that may be relieved on the Sabbath or any other day.” SJ 74.1

Any day there is breath within us, we are privileged to go to God and ask Him—in the name of Jesus—for His Holy Spirit’s guidance as we read and study His Word. Therefore, go; read through the Gospels in the Old and New Testament and see what His good works are. See what is good to do on God’s Holy Sabbath, the seventh day.

“Heaven’s work never ceases, and we should never rest from doing good. Our own work the law forbids us to do on the rest day of the Lord. The toil for a livelihood must cease; no labor for worldly pleasure or profit is lawful upon that day. But the Sabbath is not to be spent in useless inactivity. As God ceased from His labor of creating, and rested upon the Sabbath, so we are to rest. He bids us lay aside our daily occupations, and devote those sacred hours to healthful rest, to worship, and to holy deeds.” SJ 74.2

The Sabbath is not just a day. The seventh day is the Lord’s day. He blessed it. He sanctified it. He set apart His Sabbath day for holy use. The other six days in which He created all things, He created and proclaimed them good, very good. But after He ended His labor, He rested from all the cares and labors of the previous six days. The seventh day of Creation Week, He rested. His work ended, and all was done. The seventh day is God’s memorial of Him as Creator. And it points forth to Him as our Redeemer. The Sabbath (the seventh day) is holy; for in it is filled the very presence of the holy God, the God of our salvation.

Choose God’s work. Choose to be blessed by His work. Of course, you want to be healed and made whole today—any day! Run to God today. If you read this and it is not the seventh day (the Sabbath), do not wait for the Sabbath to run to God! Go. Run to Him right now in prayer. In prayer, give up; surrender yourself. Surrender your life to Him. Give up your all to Him.

God will not cast you away any day. He will feed you. He will give you drink. He will clean you up and clothe you. And He will give you His Spirit, that you will have a clear and sound mind. Daily choose by faith to die to yourself that Christ’s mind might be in you. Christ, the hope of glory, will live in you through the work and power of the Holy Spirit of God.

This Sabbath message is threefold: Your sins are forgiven. Go forward and sin no more. And do that which is good.

Will you be healed and made whole? Be healed. Be made whole.

Then, go and sin no more. Do that which is good on God’s holy day: healing other souls by feeding them the breath of life, giving them water from the well that never runs dry. Heal other souls by clothing them with truth that they might have Light, that they might have the Spirit and have a clear and sound mind. Heal them by giving them freedom from the prison of sin and disease and sickness and demon possession. Keep, observe and do the Commandments of God, bearing within you the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (which is self-control). (See Galatians 5:22, 23.)

The work we work throughout the six days is also that which brings us to God’s rest. In our living and working throughout the six days; we also are to incorporate Isaiah 58. Christ labored for souls.

Will you follow Jesus wherever He goes? Will you work as He worked? Will you do that good work He left for us to do?

I pray your answer is “Yes. As Christ worked, so I work.”

Looking back? Be careful

Do you feel as though you’ve given up everything for God?

When we actually give up all, we learn of God. It is then that we will say We are His and He is ours. That is a marriage. Both hearts are mutually committed. It is then that we will know we are not serving other gods.

Idolatry comes in many forms and shapes and things, even people.

One cannot be married to God and self and others. No matter what one thinks, they are deceived.

Study out how God required His people to destroy, tear down, or burn up all that was in the land of Canaan. He had brought them there to inhabit; but it was already inhabited by the heathen. They were ordered to keep nothing. If they kept anything, curses would come.

Numbers 33:51-53 KJV
[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; [52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: [53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

Deuteronomy 7:1-6 KJV
[1] When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; [2] And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: [3] Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. [4] For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. [5] But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. [6] For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

The old man and the old man’s past is just that. They are to be left dead and buried, not dug up and given place in the new life. The new creature in Christ is converted. The new creature does not look back, like Lot’s wife, who died from looking back during Sodom’s destruction. The new creature is converted and lives in the present. This new person is now in Christ, abides in Christ, and Christ in that person. It is a mutual abiding, like marriage.

Be aware and beware: Satan and his demons, his workers of iniquity, will use our past to lay snares for us. If we are looking back, we will be woefully unprepared to deal with the present. We will be overcome because of being on Satan’s ground, digging up the old self, rather than seeing the snare laid to trap us.

In saying all this, I’m not speaking of looking at pictures of our children and loved ones, as we see them growing and progressing. I am speaking of that which takes the mind back to when we were in sin, practicing sin, when we were the old man, looking back as if “those were the good ol’ days.” Beware of looking at self and others as if something is missing now or as if former times and ways were better and are missed. This is what Lot’s wife’s looking back meant. Immediately, she turned into a pillar of salt.

Those who find themselves in the state of looking back, remembering and missing cannot be the salt of the earth. Instead, they become changed by whatever or whoever held their attention. They have become good for nothing.

We have to be mindful of and intentional about seeking God. We cannot afford to be idle in any way. Such times are best for Satan to successfully use distractions in gaining control of our minds. If we give in to his temptations, we yield our will to Satan more and more. That yielding strengthens Satan’s controlling power over our minds.

To whom are we yielding ourselves as servants to obey, to show our love: God or Satan?

Many days are honored, except this one

Many work hard to get a day recognized in honor of someone. They want the world to remember the contributions they made. They want the world to pause and call a day holy and do according to what is indoctrinated in them to do on it.

But when it comes to the seventh day, often these same ones are silent. They fail in remembering to keep the Sabbath of God holy all the day long. The Sabbath of the fourth commandment: It is the only commandment that begins with the warning “Remember.”

Yet, most do not remember. Some even refuse. The many who profess to know God seem to not stop to realize that knowing Him means loving Him; and loving Him means obeying Him, without feeling grieved in their obedience. They simply ignore His warning to “remember.” In doing so, they also reject Him. Otherwise, they would choose to do His will. They would choose to love Him, regardless of the consequences.

Nevertheless, God is rejected on His holy seventh day—the Sabbath. We know it as Saturday. Often, it is the busiest day of the week, even for personal obligations. I see people feeling personally obligated and fighting to keep or fighting to establish a day to honor others. It is always for others, but not for God. Even on God’s holy Sabbath, others are honored and remembered. Amazingly, those being honored are ones they did not personally know. These same ones make the claim that they personally know God.

If that were so, then they would love Him. They would show it by keeping His Commandments. God says if you love Him, you will keep His commandments. God says to keep holy His seventh day (not the first day of the week—Sunday). But without malice or hatred toward your choices, you are free to choose. And God gives you that freedom of choice. He doesn’t even force His will. He never will. Yet, being indoctrinated and deceived, many—likely most—will still choose to reject God. They would rather do what the world says they must do.

Still, many say they have their own mind, make their own choices. Hold up! We all need to ever realize and remember or take note of this one thing: the fact that our mind is forfeited over to Satan, if we are not abiding in Christ. If the mind of Christ is not in us, then Satan has control of our minds. This is why we find ourselves yielding to his temptations.

The more he is yielded to, the more control over the mind Satan has. He or one or more of his demons take possession of the mind and over the body. They wreak havoc. This doesn’t mean the person will foam at the mouth or experience a literal head-spinning phenom. They can appear nice. They can help people. They can sing. Remember, Satan’s very existence incorporated every note and every musical instrument. Yes, he takes over the mind through the music you listen to as well. They may preach or teach. They go to school. They work. They are in grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, mothers, siblings, children, wives, strangers, co-workers. They are in the entertainment and sports and food industries, and more.

Mankind is no match for Satan without God. What are you going to do when the Holy Ghost is gone? What are you going to do when Christ is no longer in the Most Holy Place (Holiest of Holies in God’s Sanctuary in Heaven) interceding for mankind?

There is a remnant whom God possesses by their own freewill, by their faith, the power of the Holy Ghost. The remnant remember God. They glorify God. God keeps them. They show forth that God is God and that it is He who sanctifies them.

We do well to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. We do well to hearken freely by faith to His voice. If anyone or anybody is lost, it is no one’s fault but each their own.

Be not deceived. Repent and be converted. Time is almost finished.

Did you enter in at the strait gate?

If we enter in at the wrong gate, we will have wrong thinking and will think that the wide gate and broad way living by mans commandments, living according to our own perceptions, interpretations; and living what “feels good “ is the way that leads to life and be deceived and receive eternal death.

We must enter in at the strait gate. This comes by knowing the voice, knowing the ways of God.

Matthew 7:13-28 KJV
[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

[21] Not 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.

[22] Many 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? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

[24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: [25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: [27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. [28] And it came.

Don’t be foolish. Search the holy scriptures led of the Spirit of God that we know Him, know His voice, His ways, His word. We will be led of the Holy Spirit to the strait and narrow gate.

Delivered from?…

We are already saved by Christ from the penalty of sin. That is only a part of God’s salvation. We must also be delivered from sin: Salvation is deliverance from sin not yielding to living in, practicing sin.

Christ stands on the outside of our heart (mind) knocking. We must open the doors of the brain in which the mind is housed, and invite Christ 100% into our very minds, our very lives, our very existence. We must surrender to God completely, and seek Him to fully govern us. We must give up our right to govern ourselves completely to God.

He cleans us up, clothes us in our right minds. He takes the old heart out of our flesh; and He puts a new heart of flesh in us. God puts His Spirit in us, and causes us to keep His statues do them and His judgements. We are new creatures.

We are saved from the penalty of sin (wages of sin is death) by Christ death on the cross. He died the second death for us.

By disobedience to God, rebelling against God, rejecting God; we transgress God’s law of love, His law of liberty: God’s Ten Commandments: Summed up in Two Commandments: Originated from One great commandment: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

There is nothing we can do to save ourselves from the penalty of sin. Christ is the only one who could and did save all created beings from the penalty of sin.

We must by faith choose to live the will of God (His Word). We must by faith choose to love God with all our heart, soul, and might. All we live and do, we must live after the Spirit and not after the flesh. All we do must be by faith, otherwise it is sin. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

The life lived daily is Worship. All we eat, drink, do is worship either to God or Satan. What is our/your choice today, every day- moment by moment make your choice by faith known.

The change must come: Restored

Are we married to Christ? Does the marriage need to be restored?

Restoration in the marriage relationship to God will restore the single soul, as well as the couple—male and female—joined in marriage by God.

Our restoration by the working power, strength, and indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a true documentary of the soul changed.

The carnal flesh cannot change. It cannot put off anything. The carnal flesh can only come to the realization that change, even complete restoration is needed. Therefore, just choose to change.

This means choosing to give up, to surrender self to God. It means to let go the controls and let God lead.

You may have loved living you, doing as you willed: partying, drinking, smoking cigars/weed/cigarettes, vaping, dancing, hanging out, talking about others (gossiping), concerning one’s self with what others are doing, including being in others’ business in which you have none. You may have loved eating whatever, whenever, however you wanted, and worshiping when, where, and how you wanted to, and if you wanted to. You may have gotten a thrill from telling lies to get benefits. You may have loved starting mess, spreading lies through not knowing the truth nor seeking the truth. You may even have loved being half-dressed or tattooed up, down, over, and across. You may have been totally ignorant of God’s will in these choices. You may have not even acknowledged God. Maybe you had no clue. Thankfully, God winks at such choices; for you had no knowledge of not being in harmony with God’s will. But once you know, when the knowledge comes, and is even in reach, God then holds you accountable.

But when you come to know God, you will love God. You will abide in Christ and be led, taught and transformed by the Holy Ghost. You will see that you now hate what you once loved. You choose to answer God’s call. The old is put off and put away. All things become new. You no longer live after the flesh. Being a new creature, you live in the Spirit. You walk after the Spirit. The Spirit of God dwells in you and works in you, both to will and to do God’s good pleasure.

We choose to put off the old man “old person” and put on the “new person.” The new person is created with a new mind through the working power and indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:17-32 KJV

[17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: [19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

[20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

[22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

[25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: [27] Neither give place to the devil. [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

[29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

1 Corinthians 2:9-16 KJV
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [16] For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Romans 8:5-14 KJV
[5] For 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. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. [9] But 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. [10] And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [11] But 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. [12] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. [13] For 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. [14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Legalism: Distinctly separate from true love and obedience

Obedience to God is His love in action through us.

By the power of His Spirit, He perfects His character and His love in us. This is His way of restoring us to His image. God’s love is synonymous with His character, as seen in His Ten Commandment law. Obedience, therefore, is the expression of a loving heart and is distinctly separate from legalism.

Legalism has no part in God’s love. It is the work of a different spirit. Legalism is the counterfeit to the work of the Holy Spirit in God’s redeemed, His justified, His righteous, His saved. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can they live and teach and preach to every nation and tongue, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Rooted in covetousness, legalism does have part in the cunning darkness of deceit. The motives of legalists are not based in genuine love. Therefore, in time, the real selfishness of legalism will be revealed. And, if never truly converted, legalists will hear the telling words of God, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:23).

What is the light in your eye?

One of the apostles of Christ said, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No 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” (Matthew 6:22-24 KJV).

God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. God is righteous, and in Him is no unrighteousness. (1 John 1:5; John 7:18)

Luke said it this way: “Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light” (Luke 11:35-36 KJV).

Examine yourself. What is the light that is in you? Let it be God, the Word of God, the Gospel. Let it be the power of God unto salvation. Let it be the Holy Ghost, Who causes us to walk in God’s ways, to keep His statues, and do them and His judgements. Let it be the Holy Ghost, Who teaches us and guides us into all truth, Who gives us understanding with the knowledge and wisdom of God. Let it be the Holy Ghost, Who does the transforming work in us of our characters, restoring us to the image of God.

Examine yourself. Is the light that is in you darkness? Do you project the absence of light? Let not your life emit darkness, sin, disobedience to God. Examine yourself. Does your life show that you hate God, rather than evil or wickedness? Is pleasing yourself and others at the expense of God most important?

What sermon does your life preach and teach? What influence is it? Is your influence godly? Do you inspire others to believe on Jesus? Do you influence others to not compromise faith in God by even one iota? Or does your influence move others to compromise God’s love, His Word, His righteousness for unrighteousness, which leads to death?

Do you have power from God through the Holy Ghost? Or do you have a delusion from Satan, thinking you have God’s power?

Do not answer me.

Go to God. Ask for His Spirit. Search His Word. Examine yourself. Give God permission to take from you anything that is contrary to God.

When one believes on Jesus, they are hearers and doers of His Word. His law of love—the Ten Commandments—is His Covenant, which He writes in our hearts. But first, we must be willing. If we permit Him, if we seek Him with our very existence in all we do, if we love Him with our very existence, He will do it.

We can teach or preach truth to no one—especially our children—if we are living compromising lives. This is disobedience. It is transgression of the Law. And transgression of the Law is sin. One must walk the talk and talk the walk. By faith we choose to love God. When we love Him, we will obey Him. God gives us the Holy Spirit, Who causes us to actually obey God. Otherwise, we become the blind leading the blind and fall into the ditch.

If we love God, we keep His commandments—period. We stand firm. We do not bend. To compromise is to set oneself up for spiritual suicide. To compromise is to murder all those whom you have influenced toward eternal death.

What is the light that is in you? Is it God or Satan? You cannot love or hate both. It must be one or the other.

The Apostle Paul had the same choice to make. He described his experience this way: “And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” (Acts 26:15-18 KJV).

The Truth is still the truth.

Be not deceived

1 John 3:7-24 KJV


[7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. [8] He 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.

[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [10] In 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. [11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. [12] Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. [13] Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. [14] We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. [15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. [17] But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? [18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. [20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. [21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. [22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. [23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. [24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Matthew 22:36-41 KJV
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:12-14 KJV
[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. [13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

John 12:44-48 KJV
[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.

John 15:1-5 KJV
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [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. [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. …

Philippians 2:5-8 KJV
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion f as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Trait Talk

To the professed children of God: Instead of posting about entertainers, sports, politics, why are you not warning people?

Why are we wasting God’s time, foolishly living, and promoting foolishness? Why are you bringing shame to God’s name? Are you a child of God? Why are you not doing as He warns us to do? How many lives will be in bloodstains upon your hands, because you did not sound the warning, because you did not tell the truth to a dying world around you?

Instead, you uphold, praise and applaud entertainers and sports figures in their sins. You make them feel good about their sinful lives. You promote the spirit of competition, which is of Satan. You are among those promoting division, instead of unity in God. You know their will. They do not promote God’s peace and unity in this dying world.

These are the last days! You bash, belittle and threaten God’s own. Then you call on God’s name?!

You bring shame to God by sinking to the ungodly level. You call others names. You degrade them. In true Satanic character, you call yourself speaking your rights and telling people a thing or two. You give your two cents. But now, you have proved your true character is Satan’s. You are doing Satan’s work.

Also, people are promoting, reverencing and upholding a man in politics. He is professed as only God should be. Are you serious?

Are you really saying that man and his name ought to be reverenced and upheld, but God’s name should not be so taught? Where is your two cents? Where is your right to speak for God?

God is shamed, not reverenced. He is not obeyed. He is rejected. God is disrespected, disobeyed, dishonored! God’s name is taken in vain not only by using His name in the curse word but also by professing to be God’s witness and taking unto yourselves God’s name, while not living His Word and not obeying Him, which means you are not loving Him!

Still, there is another way you take His name in vain. When you use His name in common sayings, such as “Oh my God,” or “Jesus Christ,” God is not honored. God commands that we do not take the Lord’s name in vain. Did you know this? Did you know it could be done in these ways?

Professed children of God, do you know we are being judged right now? Will your name remain in the book of life? If you are God’s, be about His business. If you are not interested in doing His business, then stop professing. Be who you are going to be. Stop taking on the name of God, while daily living the characteristics of Satan. Stop lying.

Please stop, people! Stop wasting time! Either you want to be saved or you do not. Either you want others to be saved or you do not. If you don’t and don’t care to do God’s work, please recognize there is an identity crisis. Make your identity known. Either you are God’s or you are Satan’s—no middle ground! Your life, your words tell all Heaven and Earth whose child you are. Please know it.

True Children of God: Live by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth. It is by the Holy Spirit that we are given the power and strength to be loving obedient children of God. The wages of sin is death, people. No matter the sin, death is the payment. Death is the result, the consequence.

Please choose life. Choose life eternal. Choose God in Heaven.

God loves us so that He sent His son Jesus to die that we might have life. Then, Jesus rose from the dead, seizing victory over death, that we may have victory over sin. Jesus is in the Most Holy Place right now doing the work of interceding for us and cleansing the sanctuary. His work will soon be done. When Michael stands up, it is finished. The state you are found in at that time—whether mental or all-out character—when He stands up and changes His garments, that is the state you will remain in: righteous, righteous still; unrighteous, unrighteous still. Do you know when this will be?

Well, in any case, you should be in daily preparedness and readiness for Jesus Christ’s return.

Jesus is soon to come. If you want to know the truth, and make a conscious decision to love, serve, worship God, or not. Let’s study and get to it. Please, our Creator, our Redeemer cometh soon. Call out to God like you never have.

Seek. Ask. Knock. If you really truly want God’s Spirit—the Holy Spirit—God will give to you. The Holy Spirit will teach you and give you understanding of the knowledge and wisdom given you.

Please seek TRUTH with all you got. Please! I pray for your eternal salvation. To all who read this: May God’s will be done in your life.

Seek Wisdom, be not given to the simple, the strange woman

Go not in the way of the simple. Do not listen to error lest false doctrine, the simple, the strange woman lay a snare for you and you fall into her net of destruction, of death.

Hear the Lord God:

Proverbs 7:1-27 KJV
[1] My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. [2] Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. [3] Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

[4] Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: [5] That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

[6] For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, [7] And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, [8] Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, [9] In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: [10] And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

[11] (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: [12] Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) [13] So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

[14] I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. [15] Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. [16] I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. [17] I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. [18] Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. [19] For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: [20] He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

[21] With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. [22] He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; [23] Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

[24] Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. [25] Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. [26] For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. [27] Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Arise, Now!

Arise!

It is the seventh day of the week—the holy Sabbath day of rest. It is the rest ordained of God. It is the sign between God and His people that He is the LORD God and the One who sanctifies them (Ezekiel 20:12, 20). Although now commonly known as Saturday, the prime day of recreation and personal pleasure, it is not common. It is holy. God blessed it. He sanctified it. He made it holy. (Read Genesis 2:1-3.)

He commands all the world to remember to keep His day holy: the seventh day, the Sabbath day. It is the Lord’s day. It is lawful on this day to participate in what brings healing and directs the mind heavenward.

In reverence to Him who created the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, bow down and worship Him in spirit and in truth. According to His pleasure, serve Him in sincerity and in truth. Glorify Him in all we eat, drink, and in all that we do. Amen.

Arise.

Prayer and the Word are my weapons

Prayer and the Word are our weapons. Though we do not fight, we choose by faith to be armed. God does the rest, as long as we have on the whole armor of God.

There may be many that rise up against us. For some reason, they think no one repeats what they said, nor tells what they did. To really think no one saw nor heard and that no one would repeat it is ridiculous. No. It’s ludicrous. But see, we do not lift a finger, nor a thought against them, we just pray for them. We ask God to forgive them; for they know not what they do.

We pray for their salvation. We pray that they repent and be converted. If they will not turn away from their error, from their wickedness, from their lies, still we stand true to our faith in God. Our trust is in the Lord God. We know that He is faithful, that He fights for us.

It is done. No one can beat, nor outdo God. He is God. We just live the love of God, no matter what is said or done against us, and no matter who it is. We must remember that what they speak and do against us, they really do against God. God sees and knows their works.

Our weapons are God’s Word. We pray His Word back to Him. God will do the rest through the Holy Ghost.

“The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14).

Deuteronomy 20:3-4 KJV
[3] And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; [4] For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

Deuteronomy 28:7 KJV
The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

Psalm 1:4-6 KJV
[4] The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. [5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Isaiah 54:17 KJV
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Isaiah 47:8-15 KJV
[8] Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: [9] But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. [10] For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. [11] Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. [12] Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. [13] Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. [14] Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. [15] Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

Isaiah 41:8-14 KJV
[8] But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. [9] Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. [10] Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. [11] Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. [12] Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. [13] For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. [14] Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Matthew 18:6-7 KJV
[6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. [7] Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

These promises are not to everyone that quotes His Word; nor are they unto everyone that is professing to be His.

Know this: God’s promises are conditional. Period.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 KJV
[1] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: [2] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Deut. 28:15, read through to the end of chapter 28.

Do not yield to Satan in a back and forth. Don’t even allow your face to show you are being bothered. Neither allow your tongue to speak that which shames God, nor allow the hand to touch someone shaming God. We have self-control—if self is dead—if we be sure to die daily and keep our eyes on Christ in His Word and in prayer.

Abiding in Christ

Are you abiding in Christ? Do you ever wonder how you can be certain?

The soul that abides in Christ is privileged also to experience Christ abiding within the soul. The righteousness of Christ is revealed in the life. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, these souls are the saved. They have repented. They are converted to a life of right doing. This is sainthood.

They experience the joy of no longer living to themselves, but for Christ, for the salvation of others. Their lives fulfill and promote the mystery, which had been hidden from ages and generations. It is the privilege of saints to experience having the mind, which also was in Christ. It is what the Apostle Paul describes as “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26, 27).

With justification and righteousness by faith, comes also sanctification by faith. They are an unbreakable trio. Sanctification is the lifelong spiritual experience of living by faith the Word of God, exhibited in works of righteousness. It does not necessarily take a lifetime to learn obedience or to have the blood of Christ applied to the life.

It is the life lived by the soul’s choice, by faith, through the Spirit of God for the rest of the soul’s life. Yes! The Power of God! The love of God! Praise God; for He is the God of our salvation.

When you abide in Christ and Christ abides in you, you will live godly. It is the evidence of God in you.

God is light. And in Him is no darkness at all. If we truly die daily, refusing to do only what pleases us and instead choosing to please God, He will live in us and through us, until He comes back to take us to our heavenly home.

The soul living in the carnal flesh chooses that which pleases only him- or herself. Self is the priority. Self-righteousness (one’s own ways) is the standard of the day. So they choose to live their own wants, their own desires, by their own perceptions, and by their own opinions. In everything selfishness rules: in eating, drinking, and in all activities. You can hear selfishness in their conversations, in what they choose to listen to, watch, or purchase, how they dress, where or how they work, even in the type of education they choose—everything.

Christ said His yoke is easy. Yet, selfish people do not take upon them Christ’s yoke. To them it is too difficult to think of others before satisfying themselves. They simply choose the freedom of living for self. And our self-sacrificing God allows their choice, even when it glorifies Satan—not Him.

By now, you should have a good idea how to judge whether you are abiding in Christ and He in you. Furthermore, you might have a better idea about others in your life. Consider how they may be influencing you, or you, them—for better or worse.

Waste no time with speculations. Know the character traits of the unconverted. Pray earnestly to God for them. If possible, study with them biblically sound doctrine. Be an example in godliness—not with high-mindedness, but with the compassion of one to whom grace has been granted. If they reject encouragement to live a righteous life, from such turn away and remain in prayer for their salvation.

Lead out in good works. Avoid unprofitable activities. A proper demonstration in one’s life of the law of God reveals His character to others, who will reflect what they see. By beholding we all become changed. One’s behavior shows one’s character. Even the spiritual and physical state of one’s mind can be determined by behavior.

If the soul possesses God’s love, they will choose by faith the power of God to keep ALL His commandments—not as though they are grievous but as a delight. Their behavior will prove the indwelling of God’s love. As they grow closer to God, their desire to love God with all they are and with all they have will likewise increase.

They find that they love their brethren as they love themselves. They do unto others as they would have others do unto them. They overcome sin.

Every day, it is a choice. Every day, a righteous man may choose to turn away from righteousness. God does not force Himself. God does not force His ways upon anyone. God does not force His love or obedience upon us. Those who daily choose God show they have repented. They are converted. God has restored these souls to reflect His image. In them can be seen the character of God. No sin. No darkness. No unrighteousness. No ungodliness. No uncleanliness. No filthiness. No unholiness. No idolatry.

Jesus said that we are to be sanctified by Truth. His Word is Truth (John 17:17). Here are some suggested Bible selections for study. Certainly do not limit yourself to these. Study them line upon line, line upon line; precept upon precept, precept upon precept; here a little, there a little: Psalm 1-3; Proverbs; Isaiah 43:18; Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 18; 28; 36; John 3:3; John 6:63; John 14, John 15; Romans 1, 5, 8:9; 1 Corinthians 13; 2 Corinthians 5; Philippians 2; 2 Thessalonians; 1 Timothy 1, 4; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 2 Timothy 3:13-17; Titus 1:13-17; Titus 2; Titus 3:5-11; 1 Peter 1, 2; 2 Peter 2.

The Truth in Love

We who belong to God have our part to do in resisting the devil: Our choices, our choices by faith. Our choices either bring God’s blessings, His will; or our choices will bring curses, for the words that have gone forth out of the mouth of God cannot be reversed whether blessings or whether curses from disobedience to Him.

They in the race do not just stand still. They in the race must run. Otherwise, why enter into the race if you are not going to run?

Speak Lord:

James 1:22 KJV But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

James 1:12-21 KJV
[12] Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. [13] Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. [18] Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. [19] Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: [20] For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. [21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 4:5-8 KJV
[5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? [6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. [7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. [8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

James 4:10-17 KJV
[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. [11] Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. [12] There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? [13] Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: [14] Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [15] For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. [16] But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. [17] Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Ephesians 4:20-32 KJV
[20] But ye have not so learned Christ; [21] If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: [22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. [26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: [27] Neither give place to the devil. [28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. [29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1 Peter 5:6-9 KJV
[6] Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Job 17:9 KJV The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

Psalm 24:3-5 KJV
[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? or who shall stand in his holy place? [4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. [5] He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Isaiah 1:16-17 KJV
[16] Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; [17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

1 Timothy 2:8-10 KJV
[8] I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. [9] In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; [10] But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 KJV
[6] Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: [8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Jeremiah 4:14 KJV O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain n thoughts lodge within thee?

James 3:14-18 KJV
[14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. [16] For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Galatians 6:4-10 KJV
[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.

1 Peter 1:22-23 KJV
[22] Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: [23] Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

2 Peter 2:20-22 KJV
[20] For 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. [21] For 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. [22] But 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.

1 John 3:3-24 KJV
[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. [4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. [8] He 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. [9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. [10] In 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. [11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. [12] Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. [13] Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. [14] We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. [15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [16] Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. [17] But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? [18] My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. [19] And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. [20] For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. [21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. [22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. [23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. [24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Matthew 22:36-40 KJV
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

1 John 5:2-4 KJV
[2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. [3] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. [4] For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

James 1:22-27 KJV
[22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But 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. [26] If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. [27] Pure 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.

Have you decided to enter into the race?

If you will enter into the race, know this:

They in the race do not just stand still. They in the race must run. Otherwise, why enter into the race if you are not going to run, if you are going to choose to do nothing ?

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV
[24] Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: [27] But I keep ae under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

James 1:21-27 KJV
[21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. [22] But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. [23] For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: [24] For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. [25] But 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.

Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV
[1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, [2] Looking unto Jesus the author e and finisher f of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 10:35-39 KJV
[35] Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. [36] For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. [37] For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. [38] Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. [39] But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Intimacy…

Intimacy is not always in a hug or a kiss. Nor is it only sex. It is not always in a touch.

Intimacy can be expressed to those you text, call or think about in the middle of the night or early morning hours. It can be as simple as asking how are they doing, how did they sleep, or just wanting to share with them your thoughts, your dreams, your fears, or how your day went. It can include expressing to them that you desire to hear from them, to see them. Intimacy is giving someone else your attention when your spouse is asking for it, but you refuse. When your spouse desires your attention, you are tired, or you have a headache. At home, you watch TV or play a game. But you leave home when you want intimacy or really want to just be with someone.

The person you share intimacy with tends to always be in the back of your mind, even when other things would normally present a distraction.

Intimacy runs deeper than sex, it can be all of the above and then some. It can be a simple look. It can be defending the one you are mostly thinking about. But when you are questioned, your response implies “It’s nothing.“ Still, you defend that one, while you allow others to speak against your spouse. You even join in the bashing. Using social media platforms to feel close, when physical contact is not possible, can increase intimacy. Video or text messaging also increases intimacy, by keeping them in touch with your day, your life, your emotions. You just gotta have some kind of contact.

This kind of intimacy runs deeper than sex. It monopolizes the mind.

What a person thinks tends to be what they are. It also tends to be what ultimately they do.

Watch out… Idolatry runs deeper than worshiping a statue or a thing on some given day.

Watch out… Fornication runs deeper than porn and sex outside of marriage.

Watch out… Adultery runs deeper than sexually touching one other than your spouse.

Watch out… Covetousness is the root of sin.

Sin runs deep.

Satan is the ultimate artist of disguise. Without the discernment of Christ, you cannot determine it’s true identity. You cannot know it is sin.

Love and Hate: The Fine Line Between

There is a fine line between Love and hate: between the love of God and the commandments of men. Yet, there is a very distinct difference.

Love and hate are never mingled together. Just as God divided the light (Day) from darkness (Night), so God puts a difference between the holy and unholy, between the godly and ungodly, between obedience and disobedience, between that which is of Him from that which is of the world. Although each of us lives in the world, only those who belong to God—who are children of the Day—choose not to be of the world or children of the Night. Children of God belong to His Son, Jesus Christ, and choose to live by the principles found in God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Accordingly, they live their beliefs, by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, as revealed to the prophets. It all begins with one’s daily choices.

Choices. Choices. Choices.

Choice in the love of God means choosing by faith to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Period. That choice ignites the power of God through the Holy Ghost to continue to work in the soul. That same choice produces both the will and power to please God. The Holy Ghost does the refining, the purifying within us. It is virtually a spiritual detox and cleanse. But first, we must truly choose to die daily. We must be willing to give up our right to govern self. It is daily submitting to the will of God. It is giving God complete authority to govern us.

While it is God who puts the Holy Ghost in us, it is the Holy Ghost who restores us to the image of God. This image has no sin within. This image has no fellowship with darkness. For there can be no fellowship with those who choose to live in darkness, letting Night rule instead of the Day.

Choose you this day whom you will serve.

In our choices, we are to abstain from even the very appearance of evil. In all we think upon, in all we speak or do, we either do it for the glory of God or for Satan. When we live according to the standard of Satan, we show our hatred of God.

However, let’s be clear. Respecting the choices of others is very different from supporting them. There is a fine line. Yet, there is a line. A division exists between them no matter how fine that line is. It is very clear. God gives the discernment to see where the division is so that it can be adhered to.

Christ says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” This is simply sacrificing self. It means giving up our will to the will of God. It means stepping out on faith, trusting that God will do the work. He does His good works in us that we may live according to His ways.

Yes. We live in the world. But we are not to be of the world. Therefore, render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Render unto God what is God’s. Let there be no blurring the line of demarcation. God has no union with them. How will the ignorant come to the knowledge of God, if those who profess to be in God are not holding up the standard of God? Too many professed Christians instead are mingling with darkness, mixing truth and error. Such choices teach by influence the commandments of men, teaching to call truth lies and lies the truth. It teaches confusion. If we are choosing to practice the ways of the world, how then will we teach transgressors God’s ways and have sinners be converted unto Him?

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up the standard of God against him (Satan, the enemy of God). But we must be under the control of the Holy Spirit.

Yes. There is a fine line between Love and hate. Christ died for all. In fact, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He calls all to come to Him in personal prayer to confess our sins. If we are willing, He will give us repentance. He will lead us to righteousness that our sins may be blotted out. We will not only be forgiven, but we will also be converted and sanctified to live daily for God for the rest of our lives.

The Spirit of God perfects God’s character in us so that the old person we were will be dead. In the newness of life, we are wedded to Christ and are no longer in bondage to sin and death. No longer will the one married to Christ live according to the carnal nature of mankind. He or she lives freely in Love with the law of Love (God): His Ten Commandments. Living in the Spirit, the new person walks not according to the desires of the flesh but according to the Spirit of God.

God allows our choices.

It is our free will to choose life or death. If we choose death, God allows us our choice. While He may allow it, He does not condone, approve, nor support our choice to die. Without forcing us to choose otherwise, He convicts us of truth. He only condones, approves, supports, encourages our decision to choose eternal life. Those who choose by faith to learn of Him will face trials or rather opportunities to obey Him. For these opportunities, special help is required—the power of His Spirit. When we pray for that help, meditate upon His Word and submit to the Holy Spirit, we are buying of Him gold tried in fire. We will find ourselves choosing to obey Him even more as our love for Him increases. Our choices will glorify Him. They will lead others to be edified in Him, to grow from grace unto grace.

There is a fine line between love and hate. Period. That is the truth. Truly knowing God means living His love. Those who believe in Jesus and endure unto the end are those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. These same ones shall be saved. They will be delivered from their sins and from sin itself.

Do not choose to live on the line. We must choose to live on the right hand or on the left. We must choose to serve God or Satan. How we live is determined by to whom we yield ourselves as servants to obey in every aspect, in every life circumstance and situation.

Choose this day whom you will serve. Choose each and every day and throughout the day. All who be on the Lord’s side, stand on the right; all who be on the fine line, stand on the left and be forfeited to Satan.

There is a fine line between love and hate. For God chastens whom He loves. The chastening may hurt, but it won’t kill us. It is a part of the process of being tried in the fire that we may come forth as pure gold—on the right side—having eternal life.

Self-Love? Hmmm

Self-love? Please. . . No!

Self-love is dangerous without God. Without God, that love is based upon lies and death—the character of Satan. In every way, it puts self first. Without God, that self-love is the world’s love, based on their standards, not God’s Ten Commandments. God has demonstrated His love to us from Genesis to Revelation, and also in each and everyone of our lives.

We need to study the truth so well that we will discern deception whenever we are faced with it. If we have studied God’s Word and are determined, we will stand on God’s side. We will speak His Word, which the Holy Spirit will put into our mouths. We shall not be deceived. We will not fall to the “self-love” or “know your worth” philosophy. With God, we are worth beyond what human understanding and calculations can measure.

We will automatically love self, if we first truly love God.

Therefore, choose to observe and do and keep the first four commandments. They show us how to love God, who has given all Heaven for us. Choose to observe and do and keep the last six commandments. Then and only then will we understand how to love others as ourselves.

If we ask, knock, seek God for the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will teach us and give us the knowledge of God and understanding in all things.

Once we know God, we will love God and obey God. We will abide in Christ. Christ will abide in us, and we shall bring forth the same fruit as did Christ. For without Him, we can do nothing.

There is no greater love than the love of God. It is His love which He gives to us that we might have life.

We will need to die to self. We will need to surrender our own will to the will of God. God’s Word is His will.

He tells us all we need to know for every life circumstance and situation that we may face. He is right there to lead us and to guide us. But first, we must relinquish our rights to govern ourselves. In other words, we must truly let go and let God.

If we are seeking to get right “self-love,” we will not ever love God supremely. The character of Satan will be made manifest in the soul. The soul will die, if we do not change course.

Let us pray to our Heavenly Father. Let us ask for the Holy Spirit in Christ’s name. Let us pray, believing God will give us His Spirit. Let us pray, read, study, pray, and pray some more. We will be guided by God’s Spirit, if we are seeking truth and life, instead of fighting against truth and receiving death. Let us apply the Word of God practically in our daily lives.

God bless us to choose today whom we will serve. By the power of God, we shall overcome self and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live the fruit of the Spirit. Consequently, we will personally show God’s love daily to all those around us.

Victory: Fruit of Holiness

Many who profess God with their lips deny God in their daily living. Some do this in ignorance. Some do this having been taught lies by the deceived and by the deceivers.

Read the Holy Scriptures below through to verse 14.

Romans 6:1-23 KJV

[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

[4] Therefore 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.

[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

[7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.

[8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

[9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

[10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

[11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

[12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither 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.

[14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Many quote verse 15 without chewing well verses 1-14. Verse 15 is speaking of those who have died to sin. They are no longer under the law, but are under grace. Verse 15 is speaking of those who have become a new creature. They are now alive living in Christ. These are not under the law; for to be under the law is to be living in sin and not living in Christ. To be living under grace means the old man is dead—crucified with Christ. He is a new creature, resurrected with Christ, leaving sin. He has turned away from sin. He is dead to sin and now lives in Christ by grace through faith.

The law of God is just as natural to keep, observe, do as it is to breathe. We delight in God’s law of love: The Ten Commandments. They are not grievous.

In verse 8, death has no more dominion over him. Sin has no dominion over the soul. When one comes to God by faith surrendering, confessing their known sins to God, repenting, they are justified right then. They are baptized going down into the watery grave and resurrected up out of the watery grave representing a new creature in Christ. Then that soul by faith goes on living unto God in Christ righteousness. By faith they go on daily for the remainder of their lives choosing to die daily and be sanctified by God, sanctified by Christ’s Sabbath, and sanctified by the Word of God.

Verse 11 tells us we are to be dead to sin like Christ is dead to sin.

Verse 15 does not apply to those who believe and live in sin—teaching with their lives that they can still be justified, sanctified, and have Christ’s righteousness, while disobeying Christ’s law of love: The Ten Commandments. These are under the law and not under grace.

Now read again verses 1-14 slowly, and continue reading slowly verse 15, then on to the end.

[15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. [16] Know 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? [17] But 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. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

[19] I 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.

[20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

[21] What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

[23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through ab Jesus Christ our Lord.

That my friends is the truth, and nothing but the truth. The truth is the truth, whether you accept it or not, whether you live it or not. Period.

Are You Jealous?

Shocking—although it should not be so. I thought I would do a simple study on the word jealous. I should have guessed that I was being set up for something really amazing. My initial mild interest in studying the term for two reasons abruptly changed. I can just imagine the heavenly interest in my immediate response upon reading this text:

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” (Exodus 34:14).

His name is Jealous? And, Yes! That is with a capital J.

I am sure I have read that before a number of times. But this time was different. It hit me in a very different way.

It has long been clear to me that we are not to covet for ourselves that which belongs to someone else. We are warned against the sin of coveting. It is the tenth commandment.

Personally, I cannot recall experiencing that emotion. Rather, I have tended to surprise myself at how excited I can get over someone else receiving something similar to what I have long desired for myself. Never can I recall wanting anyone stripped of something and then having it given to me. That would take the joy out of having it for myself.

I recall how, even as a young adult, amazingly I stood back beaming with pride, as about seven ladies completely surrounded my man: hugging and kissing their goodbyes. The statewide competition was over; but they all seemed to have fallen in love with their stage manager. Their display of such emotion was pure satisfaction to me. I felt no jealousy. Actually, I was proud that he’d chosen me. I smiled as I watched. These were beauty queens in their own right. Certainly I did not judge myself superior to them. Still, I saw them as no competition.

Often through the years, I wondered about that. Was I that different? From what I had witnessed, that certainly was not the norm. More often than not, women literally fought fiercely over the affections of a man. It never made sense to me.

I have concluded, now that I am in my senior years, that watching those beauty queens was not much different from watching a crowd of young students rush to be first to my mother’s car to carry her few items into the school library. I never felt jealous of them. Instead, I smiled. I was proud to be her daughter. There was no competition—only parallel relations.

Generally, throughout my adult relations, when another woman was found to be in the equation, I was ready for nothing more than a frank discussion with the man between the two women or with the man and other woman. The issue alone made me ready to peacefully subtract myself out of the equation. Trust was gone. And I would not want to hinder anyone’s relationship. Truth may hurt; but it should always prevail. You certainly can’t change truth by bloodying someone’s nose.

Ohhh, but then it happened. I felt ready to fiercely guard one relationship against any intrusion. It was one I believed God personally designed and orchestrated for me alone. I was chosen to be his in every way. I saw it. It was amazing to me, because it took more than half the year for me to simply allow the initial direct contact. From the very first private conversation and personal encounter, I was home. That was the only way I could describe it.

It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. To proceed further and deeper into this relationship felt like God was bringing me home where I ought to remain, until Jesus comes for me. Any opposition showed itself to be clearly satanic and unChristian and dangerously insidious. What I felt must at least somewhat reflect the jealousy God has over His church—those wholly devoted to Him.

Although I was willing to walk away, painfully so, if necessary, I would not let it go without a fight. This fight, however, could not include fists. Nor could it be fought with gritted teeth as fangs and fingernails as knives. This was a spiritual battle. In stillness, it could only be fought in the closet of fervent prayer and quiet anguish.

Occasionally, God provided optic evidence that He was at work. He frequently reminded me to be mindful of not casting away my confidence in Him. He promises us rich reward when we have patiently done His will. (Read Hebrews 10:35, 36.) Perseveringly, He urged me to focus only on doing His will. Often, He reminded me that the battle was not mine, but His. Nevertheless, the experience was excruciating. And yet, I held a peaceful gratefulness beyond explanation. I knew I was abiding under the shadow of His Almighty Hand. In the stillness, I was learning that He is God.

Visually, it is like the palace guard. Selflessly and quietly—seemingly motionless—he waits. He watches endlessly in peaceful alertness. Always, he is ready to defend to the ultimate against any violation of peace and purity and safety. But mostly, He moves only to serve.

Our Heavenly Father watches over us with a godly jealousy. Not even a sparrow can fall to the ground unnoticed by Him. Yet, each one of us is far more valuable to Him than many sparrows. He numbers every strand of hair on every head. For those who trust in Him, He covers with the righteousness of His own Son’s blood, who willingly gave Himself to purchase freedom for us to live eternally with the heavenly host.

Seemingly motionless, He waits. With enduring patience and bowels of mercies, He serves. As the blood drained from the body of His Son in Gethsemane and on Calvary, God restrained Himself in gross darkness. The ultimate price was paid in selfless silence.

But the time is near. His jealousy will erupt in a devastating and annihilating rage. Isaiah 42:13, says, ”The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.”

“The prosperity of the church depends upon the faithfulness, purity, and zealous action of its individual members. Christ ‘loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that 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.’

“If all. . . could estimate to what a depth of humiliation Christ submitted for their sakes, and learn from the cross of humiliation to be subject one to another, there would exist in the church a simplicity and power which would have a telling influence on the world. Through the cross we may learn the love we should have for our fellowmen, and the value of souls for whom Christ died, and our works, in self-denial to save the perishing souls around us will correspond with our faith..” ST October 23, 1879, par. 11-ST October 23, 1879, par. 12

“Let all who profess to be members of Christ’s body, look at the facts candidly and carefully, and put the question to their souls, ‘Am I living in obedience to the first four commandments? Do I love God supremely?’ We should be jealous of ourselves with a godly jealousy, and be more critical over the condition of our own souls than over the condition of the souls of our neighbors. We should criticise our motives, test our thoughts. Is God the subject of our meditation? Do we love the Bible? Do we love the hour of prayer? Or will we neglect it in order to adorn ourselves to attract attention to self? Do you devote your time to dress instead of to the study of God’s precious word, which would broaden your understanding and make your heart glow with truth that you could communicate to others? Are you reluctant in your attendance at social meeting? Do you feel no zeal, no pleasure, in speaking of the love of Christ? If this is the case, you are cherishing some idol..” RH June 2, 1891, par. 12

We are to cherish none but God. For there is no god but God. We should be jealous about God. But you say, “How can I?” Defend His law: The Ten Commandments. They are the transcript of His character. In keeping them, we are jealously defending His law of love to Him and to our neighbor.

Are you jealous?

Simple

We are drawn to God by the evidence of His tender love and grace. Once we have accepted God’s offer of free salvation, we come to Him. We come confessing. We come repenting. We receive forgiveness. Through the Spirit of God, we receive the mind of Christ. He converts us.

We begin to love what He loves, to hate what He hates. We are led to do that which pleases Him. We find pleasure and peace in the power given us to live a holy life. And others who are wanting salvation are blessed by our faithful witness.

Now this takes a daily dying to self. Daily, we will need to surrender all of self and life to God. Daily, we must choose to be governed by God. As we do, He promises to guide us with His wisdom. (Read Psalm 25:9; 32:8; 48:14; 73:24.)

The problem is some want to be saved by God, but they don’t want to be governed by God.

God made it simple. Keep it simple.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:26, 27).

“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man” (Genesis 2:23).

“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female” (Matthew 19:4).

“But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female” (Mark 10:6).

God made mankind male and female. He left no question. He made distinction between them and gave them their roles.


“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:12-14 KJV).

Mankind makes difficult that which God made so simple that a child can understand. “Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions” (Ecclesiastes 7:29).

When the child is in the womb, it is either a male or female (boy/girl). Period. The child is not made into something else after it comes forth out of their mother’s womb. They already are what they are from when they entered into the womb of the female/woman; for a male or man has no womb to enter into, nor in which a fetus can grow and be born.

A woman/female can be a mother even though she may not ever have given birth to a child. A man/male cannot be a woman/mother even though he can be a single parent that loves the child and raises the child to the best of his knowledge and means.

A male/man cannot ever be a woman. Neither can he truly be a mother to a child. They can be a parent to the child. No matter what a male does to himself (or a female does to herself) he cannot change who he really is, no matter the hormone pills, no matter the surgeries, no matter the clothing worn to take away what clarifies a living being as a male or female.

God created mankind. He made them male and female. Both were made in the image of the Godhead (God the Father, God the Son, The Holy Spirit). After sin, mankind was born of a woman in likeness of Adam.

“For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man” (1 Corinthians 11:7-9 KJV).

God equates man and woman in marriage with Christ and His church. We were created by God for God. Woman was created by God for man. Let that marinate.

One can perform/do a role, yet not have been ordained by God to live in that role.

A man cannot be a Proverbs 31 woman, no matter what he does, no matter what he thinks, and says.

The things of God and His ways are foolishness to mankind that know Him not. The world hates God. Stand on God’s side and live.

Where are we, you?

From the pulpits of many congregations (whether online or not) is a message. And the Word of God may or may not be from where the message is prepared. But the message from the majority is not that which will cause the mind to seek God for His Spirit or that they have the will and power to die to self. Neither will the message lead to anyone seeking the will and power needed to have the faith and love of Christ or to overcome sin and be faithful to God, labor for other souls, or even to stay connected to Christ, no matter what comes.

They receive the message spoken as sounding “good.” Yet, the message is meant to distract from the weightier matters so the people get lax, tired, etc. Many a people do not even realize where we are, even though they talk about it to other brethren and warn others.

We have crossed the Jordan. We are right there. Michael will soon stand up.

The sermons from the majority are entertaining and subtly disguised. The ways and gestures, the voice of the speaker, the music: Each is an abomination. But the mind has already been lulled. Usually one is calmed or soothed by music. But the sermons are so soothing and disguised that deception occupies the mind and sets it upon the less weightier matters, so that when the music is played, the minds of the people are sleep in the bed of death. And the abomination does not even bother them. They are not alarmed. They are not awakened. It is a form of hypnotism.

We have crossed the Jordan. We are right there. Michael will soon stand up.

Many souls are lulled by the soothing calm nice voice and smile of the preacher/pastor. They receive the words spoken. They proclaim it a “good message.” Many do not realize they are being programmed away from the urgency of knowing where we are and from truly being ready for the crisis ahead: Christ’s return.

We have crossed the Jordan. Michael will soon stand up.

Where are you in mind and body? Have you begun to be lax? Comfortable? Are you lulled so much that you really do not see that your fire has been snuffed?

We have crossed the Jordan. We are right there. Where will you be in mind and body when Michael stands up?

Perilous Perception

What is perceived as good and proclaimed as a blessing from God is not always a blessing from God.

Material wealth is no absolute indication the blessing is of God. No. Not at all. God may have only allowed it. (Read Psalm 37:7, 35.) The devil also is able to reward you for being his or to keep you in bondage to him. Not everyone who calls out the name of God is a true Christian. Unless the heart is contrite, God does not even hear the sinner’s prayer. (Read John 9:31; Isaiah 59:2; 57:15; 66:2; Psalm 34:18; 51:17; and Psalm 73, especially verse 12.)

Unless you are living according to God’s Word, then you are living according to Satan’s will. And accordingly, he will give you stuff to keep you distracted, deceived and derailed. You believe you can continue as you are, just because you got this or that.

Your rent was paid in full. Your utilities were paid in advance. You got great financing for a car, or you paid cash. You got preapproved for a low-interest loan on a new home. You own your own prospering business. You got a new and better job or an incredible bonus with a promotion. Your global travel check list is growing annually. Your savings and investments are all on point. Everything seems bulletproof. You feel nothing can go wrong.

We seem to fail to remember that God allows the sun and rain to shine and fall upon the just and the unjust. We fail to understand that it is because of God’s great mercy that we do not fall dead immediately when we sin. Yet, we know the wages of sin is death. Still, we fail to realize how very subtle are Satan’s deceptions.

We don’t seem to realize that death travels with sin. It begins or proceeds with the sin. You may feel alive. You may feel well. But do not be deceived. Even those of us who are now saved by grace through faith were once dead in trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1, 8).

But all praise be to God that no one has to remain in sin. The Word of God is clear. Those who hear His voice, follow Him and are blessed of Him and kept unto salvation. Those He keeps, He delivers from the power of sin. He gives them eternal life, and they never perish. Neither is anyone able to pluck them from His hand (John 10:27-29).

Examine yourself. Carefully and honestly check yourself—not by anyone else, but only by the Word of God. Look on the inside and the outside. Think about what you allow before your eyes and what you allow in your hearing. Are your thoughts pure (Philippians 4:8)? Are your words kind and true? Is your attitude and countenance humble and meek (Ephesians 4:25-32)? Is your dress modest, professing godliness (1 Timothy 2:9, 10)? Are you careful about what you eat and drink (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20)? What do you do (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10)? How and when do you worship God (Isaiah 58:13, 14; Exodus 20:8-11)?

Examine yourself (2 Corinthians 13:5). If you do not measure up in the least, even in one point, you’ve failed in every point (James 2:10). Then seek God (Deuteronomy 4:29; Hebrews 11:6). Ask for repentance (Luke 5:32; 2 Peter 3:9).

If you love God, you will confess your sins, repent, ask forgiveness, and seek God with all your might. God will impart to you the righteousness of Christ. He will bestow on you His divine power and strength to cleanse you and to keep you in Him (1 John 1:9). This is only at your seeking and asking and knocking (2 Chronicles 7:14). For God will not force you in any way (Psalm 10:4). God and His way has to be your choice (Joshua 24:15). Dying to self is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment process. This is not a onetime thing; there is no such thing as once saved always saved.

Deuteronomy 29:18-20 is clear. ”Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; … And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.”

Moment of Marriage

I wanted to know; so I asked God. In all of the many marriages listed in Scripture, why is there not one instance (or is there?) where a couple is shown exchanging vows?

Interestingly, it was at a marriage that the first miracle of Jesus ever happened, as recorded in the Canon. John 2, describes specific details about that day, including that it was the third day from John the Baptist‘s announcement that Jesus is the Lamb of God. We are told that the marriage was held in Cana of Galilee. We are told that the mother of Jesus was there. All of those details are in the first verse. Verse 2, only states that both Jesus and His disciples were called to the marriage.

But immediately afterward, John says, ”And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.” Excuse me? Where’s the wedding? This is suddenly the description of the wedding reception, as we know it. In fact in chapter 19 of Revelation, John again mentions a marriage, but only in the sense of a supper. There, it is called the marriage of the Lamb and the supper of the great God.

Come to think of it, when another disciple describes marriage details, it too tells of a dinner. Of course, Matthew is quoting Jesus, who is teaching that the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king that “made a marriage for his son.” Those bidden to the marriage were told, ”Behold, I have prepared my dinner.” The menu is briefly described, followed by these words, ”Come unto the marriage.”

Then only two chapters later, in chapter 25, Matthew tells the famous parable of the ten virgins, where Jesus is again describing the kingdom of heaven. When the bridegroom arrives, the door is shut. There is no hint of wedding details beyond the closed door.

We could easily conclude that in these cases the focus of the story was not on the actual exchange of vows. And that is true. But let’s examine others. In fact, let’s back up to the very first wedding.

When God put Adam to sleep and made Eve, afterward He simply presented Eve to Adam. Adam only acknowledged that God designed and desired Eve to be his companion, his wife. Here’s all we have: ”And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. [Moses then declares this principle:] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:22-25).

There is the perfect opportunity for all mankind to be informed throughout the ages about the moment of marriage. What we have, however, is Adam’s acknowledgement that the woman presented to him is God’s choice. Adam agrees to receive her as his wife. (Read my most recent article retitled “Hunters Weepers, Finders Keepers.”) In an act of praise and worship, Adam’s words proclaim the oneness of husband and wife: one flesh. He was enraptured with words of highest praise for what God had wrought for him personally. For that, He worshiped God. What we have is a moment of acceptance and praise and worship. This was their moment of marriage.

From that perspective, I more clearly understood the meeting of Rebekah and Isaac. She didn’t just slide down from the camel and go into the tent with Isaac to consummate the marriage. First, there was a period of testimony and praise for what God had done. It was an act of worship. (Read Genesis 24:62-67.)

There it is: an act of worship! It is a ceremony of praise without crippling expense. It is a wedding with the husband, the wife, the witnessing servant, and likely the observing host of Heaven, to say the least. It is set apart from the public wedding feast or banquet or supper.

When I recently shared my new understanding of marriage with a minister, he said that to accept that view, we would have to throw out the Bible and the spirit of prophecy (SOP). Maybe, I failed in explaining myself scripturally. I had stated that it is not the official marriage certificate a couple receives from the state that certifies one’s marriage. It is God, Himself. If only the document from the state certifies a marriage in God’s sight, then so-called marriages between any two persons or a mix of human and animal or other thing would qualify. We are all aware, and some painfully so, that in today’s world men are marrying men. Women are marrying women. Some are marrying their pet or robot or some thing. Do we really believe God must honor such unions?

You see, the minister told me that God honors our choices. I could not at the time adequately respond. I think I was a bit shocked at his abruptness. The exchange was brief.

But I wondered how it is that any Bible-believer can say that a divorce for anything other than adultery is still a marriage, although the two parties may each carry a copy of the state’s official divorce document. Yet, they cannot understand or accept that God can marry two individuals without the official stamp of civil approval. While there is a place for that official stamp in establishing a family or related household, it does not necessarily come with God’s honor. While God does allow our choices, He certainly does not necessarily honor them.

While we do not have to throw out Scripture or the SOP, we must have the same vantage point. We must understand that not every documented union is a sacred marriage in the sight of a holy God. We only need to read Ezra 10, to see that it does not even matter that children have been born from the union. Those who would truly worship God had to make serious reforms. And they had only three days (to appear in person and be fully decided) to untie themselves from their ungodly unions. They could not remain in sin and still offer worship that was acceptable to God.

It was in Ezra’s era and again is now time for marriage reform.

First, we must have the exact same starting point to exactly follow any directions from point A to point Z on any map. Or you can end up going in circles, like I did once. I received driving directions to an event I was to cover and publish. The problem was that the one who sent the directions never adjusted them from my starting point. He drove in from the Keys. I drove in from Orlando. The event was at a church location in between. It was an experience I would love to forget! Similarly, I believe the same is true for unions God never sanctified.

The point is, we do not have to throw out Scripture nor the Spirit of Prophecy. We only need to reorient ourselves to what marriage truly is. We must agree that marriage is so very sacred an affair that it is not recognized by God and is not recorded in the books of Heaven, unless it is ordained of God, unless God indeed put the two together.

It is only what God has joined together that no man may put asunder.

It is similar to baptism. Baptism, while it is often referred to as the date a person was born again, it is really only the date that the public was officially informed of a very private and sacred event. Privately and very sacredly, a person acknowledges he or she has had it all wrong. Privately, a person in their heart first confesses their sins to God and is willing to be changed and to live according to His plan for their lives. The baptism only allows the church officially to place that person’s name in the book of membership. But in Heaven, that person’s name has already been placed in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

If You Know He Is Liar, Why Believe His Lies As Truth?

Tell me this: If you know Satan is a liar and you believe on Jesus, why do you let Satan deceive you by telling you that you need not do what God says?

Satan DOES NOT SPEAK NOR TELL THE TRUTH—he mingles truth and error and deceives multitudes. He disguises error in garments of light. Let that sink in.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭44‬ ‭KJV

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Section 2—Basic Relationships

Chapter 7—Disease That Begins in the Mind

[See Chapter 75, “Imagination and Illness.”]

Too Little Thought Given to Causative Factors—Far too little thought is given to the causes underlying the mortality, the disease and degeneracy, that exist today even in the most civilized and favored lands. The human race is deteriorating.—The Ministry of Healing, 380 (1905)

Nine Tenths of Diseases Originate in Mind—Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. Nine tenths of the diseases from which men suffer have their foundation here. Perhaps some living home trouble is, like a canker, eating to the very soul and weakening the life-forces. Remorse for sin sometimes undermines the constitution and unbalances the mind. There are erroneous doctrines also, as that of an eternally burning hell and the endless torment of the wicked that, by giving exaggerated and distorted views of the character of God, have produced the same result upon sensitive minds.—Testimonies for the Church 5:444 (1885)

Mind Affects Body—The relation which exists between the mind and the body is very intimate. When one is affected, the other sympathizes. The condition of the mind affects the health of the physical system. If the mind is free and happy, from a consciousness of right doing and a sense of satisfaction in causing happiness to others, it creates a cheerfulness that will react upon the whole system, causing a freer circulation of the blood and a toning up of the entire body. The blessing of God is a healing power, and those who are abundant in benefiting others will realize that wondrous blessing in both heart and life.—Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 13, 1890. (Counsels on Health, 28; see also Testimonies for the Church 4:60, 61 [1876].) 

A Well-nourished and Healthy Brain—The brain is the organ and instrument of the mind, and controls the whole body. In order for the other parts of the system to be healthy, the brain must be healthy. And in order for the brain to be healthy, the blood must be pure. If by correct habits of eating and drinking the blood is kept pure, the brain will be properly nourished.—Manuscript 24, 1900. (MM 291.) 

Far-reaching Influence of the Imagination—Disease is sometimes produced, and is often greatly aggravated, by the imagination. Many are lifelong invalids who might be well if they only thought so. Many imagine that every slight exposure will cause illness, and the evil effect is produced because it is expected. Many die from disease the cause of which is wholly imaginary.—The Ministry of Healing, 241 (1905)

Electric Power of Brain Vitalizes System—The influence of the mind on the body, as well as of the body on the mind, should be emphasized. The electric power of the brain, promoted by mental activity, vitalizes the whole system, and is thus an invaluable aid in resisting disease. This should be made plain. The power of the will and the importance of self-control, both in the preservation and in the recovery of health, the depressing and even ruinous effect of anger, discontent, selfishness, or impurity, and on the other hand the marvelous life-giving power to be found in cheerfulness, unselfishness, gratitude, should also be shown.—Education, 197 (1903)

Some Sick Because They Lack Willpower—In journeying I have met many who were really sufferers through their imaginations. They lacked willpower to rise above and combat disease of body and mind; and, therefore, they were held in suffering bondage…. 

I frequently turn from the bedside of these self-made invalids, saying to myself, Dying by inches, dying of indolence, a disease which no one but themselves can cure.—The Health Reformer, January, 1871. (Medical Ministry 106, 107.

Mind, Character, and Personality Volume 1

Section 1—The Study of the Mind

Chapter 6—A Healthy Normality (Part 2)

Faculties of Mind to Rule the Body—True education includes the whole being. It teaches the right use of one’s self. It enables us to make the best use of brain, bone, and muscle, of body, mind, and heart. The faculties of the mind, as the higher powers, are to rule the kingdom of the body. The natural appetites and passions are to be brought under the control of the conscience and the spiritual affections. Christ stands at the head of humanity, and it is His purpose to lead us, in His service, into high and holy paths of purity. By the wondrous working of His grace, we are to be made complete in Him.—The Ministry of Healing, 398, 399 (1905)

Well-developed Minds and Broad Characters—God’s workmen must labor to be many-sided men; that is, to have a breadth of character, not to be one-idea men, stereotyped in one manner of working, getting into a groove, and unable to see and sense that their words and their advocacy of truth must vary with the class of people they are among and the circumstances that they have to meet. All should be constantly seeking for well-developed minds and to overcome ill-balanced characters. This must be your constant study, if you make a useful, successful laborer.—Letter 12, 1887 (Evangelism, 106.) 

Commonplace, Trivial Matters Dwarf the Mind—Upon the mind of every student should be impressed the thought that education is a failure unless the understanding has learned to grasp the truths of divine revelation and unless the heart accepts the teachings of the gospel of Christ. The student who, in the place of the broad principles to the Word of God, will accept common ideas and will allow the time and attention to be absorbed in commonplace, trivial matters, will find his mind becoming dwarfed and enfeebled. He has lost the power of growth. The mind must be trained to comprehend the important truths that concern eternal life.—The Review and Herald, November 11, 1909.(Fundamentals of Christian Education, 536.)  

Minds Not to Be Crowded With Useless Things—Education, as it is conducted in the schools of today [1897], is one-sided, and therefore a mistake. As the purchase of the Son of God, we are His property, and everyone should have an education in the school of Christ. Wise teachers should be chosen for our schools. Teachers have to deal with human minds, and they are responsible to God to impress upon those minds the necessity of knowing Christ as a personal Saviour. But no one can truly educate God’s purchased possession unless he himself has learned in the school of Christ how to teach. 

I must tell you from the light given me by God, I know that much time and money are spent by students in acquiring a knowledge that is as chaff to them; for it does not enable them to help their fellowmen to form characters that will fit them to unite with saints and angels in the higher school. In the place of crowding youthful minds with a mass of things that are distasteful and that in many cases will never be of any use to them, a practical education should be given. Time and money are spent in gaining useless knowledge. The mind should be carefully and wisely taught to dwell upon Bible truth. The main object of education should be to gain a knowledge of how we can glorify God, whose we are by creation and by redemption. The result of education should be to enable us to understand the voice of God…. 

Like the branches of the True Vine, the Word of God presents unity in diversity. There is in it a perfect, superhuman, mysterious unity. It contains divine wisdom, and that is the foundation of all true education; but this Book has been treated indifferently. 

Now, as never before, we need to understand the true science of education. If we fail to understand this, we shall never have a place in the kingdom of God. “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent” (John 17:3). If this is the price of heaven, shall not our education be conducted on these lines?—The Christian Educator, August 1, 1897, par.4

Making Iron Rule for Others Dishonors God—God will not vindicate any device whereby man shall in the slightest degree rule or oppress his fellowman. As soon as a man begins to make an iron rule for other men, he dishonors God and imperils his own soul and the souls of his brethren.—Testimonies for the Church 7:181 (1902)

Balance of Differing Minds Necessary—Here we are brought together—of different minds, different education, and different training—and we do not expect that every mind will run right in the same channel; but the question is, Are we, the several branches, grafted into the parent Vine? That is what we want to inquire, and we want to ask teachers as well as students. We want to understand whether we are really grafted into the parent Vine. If we are, we may have different manners, different tones, and different voices. You may view things from one standpoint, and we have ideas different from one another in regard to the Scriptures, not in opposition to the Scriptures, but our ideas may vary. My mind may run in the lines most familiar to it, and another may be thinking and taking a view according to his traits of character, and see a very deep interest in one side of it that others do not see.—Manuscript 14, 1894. 

The Hyssop, the Cedar, and the Palm—In all the Lord’s arrangements there is nothing more beautiful than His plan of giving to men and women a diversity of gifts. The church is His garden, adorned with a variety of trees, plants, and flowers. He does not expect the hyssop to assume the proportions of the cedar, nor the olive to reach the height of the stately palm. Many have received but a limited religious and intellectual training, but God has a work for this class to do if they will labor in humility, trusting in Him.—Letter 122, 1902 (Evangelism, 98, 99). 

Characters as Varied as the Flowers—From the endless variety of plants and flowers, we may learn an important lesson. All blossoms are not the same in form or color. Some possess healing virtues. Some are always fragrant. There are professing Christians who think it their duty to make every other Christian like themselves. This is man’s plan, not the plan of God. In the church of God there is room for characters as varied as are the flowers in a garden. In His spiritual garden there are many varieties of flowers.—Letter 95, 1902 (Evangelism, 99.) 

Powers of Mind and Body—the Gift of God—The requirements of God must be brought home to the conscience. Men and women must be awakened to the duty of self-mastery, the need of purity, freedom from every depraving appetite and defiling habit. They need to be impressed with the fact that all their powers of mind and body are the gift of God and are to be preserved in the best possible condition for His service.—The Ministry of Healing, 130 (1905)

God Desires Symmetrical Characters—God reproves men because He loves them. He wants them to be strong in His strength, to have well-balanced minds and symmetrical characters; then they will be examples to the flock of God, leading them by precept and example nearer to heaven. Then they will build up a holy temple for God.—Manuscript 1, 1883. (Selected Messages 1:48.)

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word, which encourages us in the total, true and right development of character and mind. Please bless us to allow Your Word to develop within us that true religion, which ennobles the mind, refines the taste, sanctifies the judgment, and makes us partakers of the purity and the holiness of Heaven.

The Source of True Happiness—There are persons with a diseased imagination to whom religion is a tyrant, ruling them as with a rod of iron. Such are constantly mourning over their depravity and groaning over supposed evil. Love does not exist in their hearts; a frown is ever upon their countenances. They are chilled with the innocent laugh from the youth or from anyone. They consider all recreation or amusement a sin and think that the mind must be constantly wrought up to just such a stern, severe pitch. This is one extreme. 

Others think that the mind must be ever on the stretch to invent new amusements and diversions in order to gain health. They learn to depend on excitement, and are uneasy without it. Such are not true Christians. They go to another extreme. 

The true principles of Christianity open before all a source of happiness, the height and depth, the length and breadth of which are immeasurable. It is Christ in us a well of water springing up into everlasting life. It is a continual wellspring from which the Christian can drink at will and never exhaust the fountain.—Testimonies for the Church 1:565, 566 (1867)

Zeal Which Quickly Fades—We are not to encourage a spirit of enthusiasm that brings zeal for a while but soon fades away, leaving discouragement and depression. We need the Bread of life that comes down from heaven to give life to the soul. Study the Word of God. Do not be controlled by feeling. All who labor in the vineyard of the Lord must learn that feeling is not faith. To be always in a state of elevation is not required. But it is required that we have firm faith in the Word of God as the flesh and blood of Christ.—Letter 17, 1902 (Evangelism, 138.) 

Neither Cold Orthodoxy Nor Careless Liberalism—The progress of reform depends upon a clear recognition of fundamental truth. While, on the one hand, danger lurks in a narrow philosophy and a hard, cold orthodoxy, on the other hand there is great danger in a careless liberalism. The foundation of all enduring reform is the law of God. We are to present in clear, distinct lines the need of obeying this law. Its principles must be kept before the people. They are as everlasting and inexorable as God Himself.—The Ministry of Healing, 129 (1905)

Well-balanced Minds Needed—Much is said in the Epistles of being sound in the faith. This should teach us the necessity of caution. We must not weave into our experience our own inclinations and strong traits of character. This will misrepresent the precious, elevating, ennobling principles of truth and lead others astray. Soundness in the faith means more than many discern. It means to correct every error that exists in our thoughts and actions, lest we corrupt the Word of God. 

There are needed for this time well-balanced minds, healthy, wholesome Christians. Many of those who profess Christ have a sickly experience. They cannot bear anything unfavorable. They lose heart if they think they are in any way slighted or hurt, if their brethren have not been as tender with them as they think they should be. The Great Physician would, by His infinite skill, restore them to sound moral health; but the patient refuses to take the prescription He offers. These persons may apply the Word of God to their case for a short time, but they do not become doers of that Word. They soon come under influences which suit their natural tastes and counteract all they have gained.—The Review and Herald, July 28, 1896

All Faculties to Be Cultivated—If certain faculties are used to the neglect of others, the design of God is not fully carried out in us, for all the faculties have a bearing and are dependent, in a great measure, upon one another. One cannot be effectually used without the operation of all, that the balance may be carefully preserved. If all the attention and strength are given to one, while others lie dormant, the development is strong in that one and will lead to extremes, because all the powers have not been cultivated. Some minds are dwarfed and not properly balanced. All minds are not naturally constituted alike. We have varied minds; some are strong upon certain points and very weak upon others. These deficiencies, so apparent, need not and should not exist. 

If those who possess them would strengthen the weak points in their character by cultivation and exercise, they would become strong.—Testimonies for the Church 3:33 (1872)

Call All Powers of Mind Into Use—All the powers of the mind should be called into use and developed in order for men and women to have well-balanced minds. The world is full of one-sided men and women who have become such because one set of their faculties was cultivated while others were dwarfed from inaction. 

The education of most youth is a failure. They overstudy, while they neglect that which pertains to practical business life. Men and women become parents without considering their responsibilities, and their offspring sink lower in the scale of human deficiency than they themselves. Thus the race is fast degenerating. 

The constant application to study, as the schools are now conducted [1872], is unfitting youth for practical life. The human mind will have action. If it is not active in the right direction, it will be active in the wrong. In order to preserve the balance of the mind, labor and study should be united in the schools.—Testimonies for the Church 3:152, 153 (1872)

Means of Improvement Within Reach of All—Young men are wanted who are men of understanding, who appreciate the intellectual faculties that God has given them and cultivate them with the utmost care. Exercise enlarges these faculties, and if heart-culture is not neglected, the character will be well-balanced. The means of improvement are within the reach of all. Then let none disappoint the Master, when He comes seeking for fruit, by presenting nothing but leaves. A resolute purpose, sanctified by the grace of Christ, will do wonders.—Manuscript 122, 1899. 

Body, Mind, Heart, Under God’s Control—He who truly loves and fears God, striving with a singleness of purpose to do His will, will place his body, his mind, his heart, his soul, his strength, under service to God. Thus it was with Enoch. He walked with God…. Those who are determined to make the will of God their own must serve and please God in everything. Then the character will be harmonious and well-balanced, consistent, cheerful, and true.—Letter 128, 1897 (In Heavenly Places, 190.)

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word, which encourages us in the total development of character and mind. Please bless us to allow Your Word to develop within us that true religion, which ennobles the mind, refines the taste, sanctifies the judgment, and makes us partakers of the purity and the holiness of Heaven. Please bless us so that a new and divine character may be formed within us, and the debasement of sin overcome. Please bless us so that our minds remain under the direct influence of the Spirit of God, that Satan cannot mold us as he chooses. Please bless us to be strong and healthy mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and to allow ourselves to be cultivated almost to the excellence of angels. Because we ask all these in the Awesome name of Almighty Jesus the Christ, we say Thank You and Amen.

DID YOU KNOW THIS…? Hebrews 13:20, 21 KJV — The God of peace…Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [The WORD OF GOD—It’s the only flesh tthat is safe to eat (meditate on) to live forever!]

Are you a scion? Do you feel wild, without a place to feel at home or useful? I pray this might touch you in the way it did me. Watch…

I coordinate wonderful health and worship events and conferences online and onsite as a gospel medical missionary at Uchee Pines, a total plant-based health retreat, where doctors and practitioners specialize in lifestyle medicine. For event details, visit https://www.ucheepines.org/events
Therefore, if at any time you fail to receive this post as a text, please visit  
https://baiom.org/author/audreystovall/
where devotionals are first posted daily (almost without fail). From there devotionals are publicly shared to my page on FB, LinkedIn, and Signal (in My Story), and to a response-restricted group on WhatsApp (once again when I am able to find the time to successfully rebuild it).

NOTE: These began as daily texts to encourage my academy roommate and dear friend of nearly 50 years, until she suddenly passed March 2023. Now I continue to compile and send them to anyone who will receive them and to her family in honor of their mom. Lately, I have begun featuring consecutive chapter portions of a select Bible-based book.
If you agree to continue receiving them, then this is my personal gift to you; and in this way, I not only honor God but the memory of a very dear friend whom I desperately miss.
My personal prayer is that God will bless me to find ways to multiply this gift, so that we all may be encouraged to be found faithful in the sight of a Holy God, whenever Christ returns or our eyes are shut in the sleep of death.
It is a prayerful process that leads me to share from my personal study. 
So please feel free to forward to your loved ones or to anyone, as God leads you. I’m calling them Barb’s Devotionals.
