PATHWAY TO REVELATIONS

  Tongues of Fire

 

Moving Of the Spirit 5/27/2002

Acts 19,1-7: And it came to pass, that while Apolis was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

 

Vs. 2. He said unto them, have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

 

Vs. 3, And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

 

Vs. 4. Then said Paul; “John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance” saying unto the people, “that they should believe on him, which should come after him“. That is, on Christ Jesus.

 

Vs. 5. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

 

Vs. 6, And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

 

2002 Begin:

I think it is meet to bring into this book the message that Paul had declared to the Colossians; Paul gave to the Saints at Colossi, at that time, an insight that revealed the revelation that, he, Paul had received from God. He said that he had heard things that were unlawful for him to utter.

 The question is; why would the revelations that Paul had received from God, be unlawful to utter? Is Paul saying; “God does not allow me to speak these revelations to anyone“? It certainly sounds like that.

John the revelator had been told not to write some things that he had seen or heard. Why would God want to conceal certain experiences or words that had been declared? The withholding of certain revelations, such as that of Daniel and John the Revelator was certainly for a reason. God had made Jesus Christ his son a mystery that was hid from the foundations of the world.

Romans 16:25 (KJV) 

    Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

The reason that Jesus was a mystery was that Satan would not know just how and when that Jesus would come to die for the sins of mankind. Had God revealed too much information, then Satan would not have crucified the Lord.

1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

God brings to pass things and reveals revelation knowledge to his saints when the time is right, and not before.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they were driven out of the Garden and there were placed there flaming swords to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:24 (KJV)   So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

At that time Jesus, which was the tree of Life, was preserved until the fullness of time would come.

Galatians 4:4 (KJV) 

    But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

After the fall of mankind and when God drove the man and woman from the Garden of Eden, At that time man went into the time realm and began to die. Genesis 2:17 (KJV)   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.

Death was the sentence that was placed upon mankind and this sentence has reigned from the time of Adam’s fall.

Romans 5:14 (KJV)   Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

We have in our body the sentence of death and death makes its bid for your body. It is my opinion, that the only thing that holds that sentence from taking effect is the Grace of God, and God’s mercy that is shown, not only to the righteous, but to the sinner also. Had Adam and Eve been able to take of the tree of life, after that when they sinned, Satan would have been able to, not only stand in the presence of God, he would have in essence replaced God’s presence in his created man with his presence, Satan then would have become like God.

Isaiah 14:14 (KJV)   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

This was his ticket to the ascension to the most high. Just as  God has been Glorified in Christ Jesus, That Glory is that of the Saints of God being brought into the presence of God the Father. It is evident that Satan could never be like God as an Angel. Satan was not made in the Image of God. Satan was not made from the clay. Satan never had the breath of God blown into his nostrils. To be like God, Satan had to incarnate himself into one of God children and since Adam was the first son of God that was created, Satan knew that if he could get into the flesh that Adam had and then let Adam go to the tree of Life and eat of the fruit, Satan then would have taken the image of God and as Jesus was the Express image of the Father, Satan would have ascended up to the Throne and would have been able to sit down in the throne with God and would have been like the most high.

Jesus asked the father to glorify him with the glory that he had with the father in the beginning.

John 17:5 (KJV)   And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Jesus was the, and had the Glory of the father before the world was. This proves that God and Jesus existed before the world was ever placed into existence.

When Adam became a living soul, The Lord took him and placed him into the Garden of Eden. There

 

 

 

 

 

 

God took from Adam a rib. From that rib God  made Adam a helpmeet. This helpmeet is the Woman named Eve. She was to be a companion to Adam. Here again the Glory of the man was the woman and as this woman stood by side of Adam, this was a similitude to the bride of Jesus Christ. The Church is the bride and the righteousness of the Saints is the Glory of the Father. We can say that this is the purpose of the first Adam and the helpmeet that he had created. I know that the bible says that God can see the end from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:10 (KJV) 

    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:

We must realize that, when we are talking of the end from the beginning, that God through Jesus Christ, and in Jesus Christ made both the beginning and the end, and everything in between. God declared the End from Jesus Christ, which is the beginning. The End of the Matter is Jesus Christ. The law made those that had not sin after the similitude of Adam, Which had death to rein over them, been made to know that in that law there were the councils of God, a promise of the hope that each and everyone that had a hope of being delivered from the death and the grave, God through the Law revealed first, that sin was exceedingly sinful and that the man that had fallen from the Garden and all that followed were to look to Jesus Christ. If Man was to ever be lifted up and Glorified again, it would only come through the one that was mentioned in the law. The law itself could not deliver mankind up to the Father to receive the Glory that God the father wanted through his son Jesus before the world was created, Through the pain staking mercy and the councils that God the Father placed in Jesus Christ, there he was able to make and cause his councils to come to pass. You have to know that God wanted Adam and Eve to enjoy this from the very beginning and if they had not yielded to the Serpent, surely things would have been a lot different. We can see how God at times became weary with those of time past and wanted to destroy them from the face of the earth. God made an attempt to wipe sin out. God wanted man to follow in the righteousness of that of his son. Yet man just couldn’t get away from the presence of the Serpent. The serpent was driven out of the Garden through the flesh that Adam and Eve had and took up his rein in that habitation. We can see him coming through the flesh through Cain. At the same time we can see the councils of God coming through Able. As it was said that had not God left us a seed.

Romans 9:29 (KJV) 

    And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrah.

we certainly would be destroyed by fire. as the cities of Sodom and  Gomorrah.  By the way, isn’t that one of the Prophesies that foretells the end of those who do not follow God and who follow after Satan?.

Luke 17:28 (KJV) 

    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

As the Lord said that he then had been Glorified with the Glory of a son, even though he was a created living soul, God the father became Glorified in that creation, and God has referred to the Saints as the place of his residence and that is what he wants more than his own majesty. To prove this we only need to look at the verse in John 3. 16. John 3:16 (KJV)   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.

Jesus was made lower than the Angels and stepped down from the Glory of that which exists in Heaven, He came to this sin torn world and died willing just to have us to enter into his presence once again, as he had with Adam and Eve in the Garden. As the Voice of God talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden, The  voice of the Holy Ghost still today want to communicate with us. 2 Thes. 1:10 (KJV)   When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

We just take what God has done for us as something that could or did happen because God had nothing else better to do. The whole existence of God, is that of God himself existing in his saints. It is a mistake for us to think that we have the ability to make ourselves righteous by our own doings. Jesus Christ is our righteousness and in him along can we enter into the presence of God the Father. Had not Jesus been prepared from the beginning as our redemption, we would have been all been like Sodom and Gomorrah. Thank God that as he looked upon Lot with his mercy. The mercy had been extended to Lot, because of that which God had prepared in Christ. The Lord reached down when the evil surrounding were to be burned up by fire, He extended his mercy to Lot. That is the same mercy, which he, showed when he died on the cross. He delivered us from the curse that Malachi had pronounced upon mankind. Lot was taken by the hand and commanded to leave the place and not to look back, We today are commanded to come out from among the world and be separate. 2 Cor. 6:17 (KJV)   Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

As fire rained down upon those cities in those days, that fire was the judgment type that was there at the cross when Jesus came. The Bible states that he came in the fullness of time.

Galatians 4:4 (KJV)   But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Daniel spoke of the time that Jesus would come to redeem those that were looking for him.

Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven suffered violence From John the Baptist until Christ, and he also stated that the violent takes it by force.

Matthew 11:12 (KJV)   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

This is where we miss the revelation of what Jesus had done for all the saints of God on the cross. As Job was given into the hand of Satan to try him and as Satan continually came in the presence of God when the Old Testament Saints appeared, Satan appeared there also. Job 1:6 (KJV)   Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

What Job was saying was, as Jesus said, That Satan stood in the presence of God along side of the Old Testament Saint and accused them continually. You see There was no mediator there to represent those that come to God, unlike today, we have a mediator to represent us, this mediator not only confesses us to the Father, he took our penalty of Death and the Curse that was placed upon mankind and took that and nailed it to the cross, then he took that to Hell and put it where it belongs, then he came out of Hell and rose up and confronted those of his followers and displayed that he was not dead but was alive. When Jesus did this he made an open show of Satan and he defeated him and took his right to stand in the presence of God and accuse the brothers and sisters of the Lord, Jesus then Cast him out of the presence of God into the world and when he came into the world he went to make war with the saints. Yes the Old Testament Saints were given into his hand until a time, times and a dividing of time. This is the three and half years of the first part of tribulation that was to come on mankind, this is the penalty that Adam and Eve and the whole creation groaned and traveled with until the Adoption took place.

Romans 8:23 (KJV)   And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

What Daniel had declared that was to take place was that of the Coming of Jesus and Daniel was allowed to reveal only those things that would not give Satan a hint as to how this was to happen. God had to withhold from mankind certain things, had he not done so, They would not have crucified the lord.

1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

To sum up the matter is this, The Old Testament Saints were given into the hands of Satan to accuse and to kill and to wear out the Saints until Jesus came and there at the river of Jordan when John the Baptist and Jesus was being baptized, There Appeared The Holy Ghost and this Holy Ghost was The voice of the Father and there was the Three that are in Heaven bearing witness to those who stood by.

Luke 3:22 (KJV)   And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

This is the beginning of the taking and lifting of the curse that was upon mankind, Jesus walked and did many infallible proofs of the power of God among his believers. For three and half years he did these great miracles and then came the final moment, after he had placed into the hearts of those who followed him, he then walked into the place which was supposed to be that of a holy city, he rode in not as a kind of man made credentials, he rode on a lowly jack ass and to come up to the place where Satan had taken the Law which was given on Mt. Sinai and he thought to change that Law so that he could hold dominion over Gods people and he thought to change things around to set himself up in the Seat Of God, and that seat was the heart of those priest’s that stood there. These had made an agreement with Hell itself and took and placed between man and God a wall so high that no one could get over it without their permission.  Yes they had been given into his hands until the time, times and the dividing of time, that was the three and half years that Jesus came and the Devils cried out to Jesus and said have you come here to torment us before our time.

Matthew 8:29 (KJV)   And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

When Jesus came out of that water there in Jordan, then began him to teach and to deliver those who were diseased and oppressed of the Devil. Here is where Satan knew that he was up against the one that was there in the Garden of Eden. that tree of Life that was there for the taking and by taking of that tree of life, Adam and Eve could have lived forever in the presence of God’s Love. Here again come the full force of God’s Love, once again here is the Love and presence of God again wanting more than anything that he was and is, to be Glorified in the Saints that he had the privilege to be able to walk with in the Garden of Eden, here once again the Lord was walking in the presence of his creation, and not only to walk with them on earth, he was getting ready to Adopt us back into the presence of the Glory of God and to be able to come down to us through the Holy Ghost and to take up his abode in our hearts.  Daniel 7:25 (KJV)   And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

After that day when Jesus Hang on the Cross and gave his life for us and shed his sinless blood for us, we are no longer given into his hands, We have Power over Satan to push him far away from us. Praise God Almighty. This is enough to make one shout his way out of anything that comes our way.

Too bad that those that can’t see what Daniel was saying and still like to hold onto the Law of commandants and traditions of the elders and still want to give Satan the opportunity to hold dominion over them. and in doing so they can have dominion over the lives of each other. Jesus said that he has made us free and free indeed.

John 8:36 (KJV)   If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

When they come to you and tell you that you have to do this and do that, you need to resist them and tell Satan to get behind you. They that know and worship God, worship him in Spirit and Truth, That Truth is Jesus Christ, Jesus said that he was and is the truth.

John 14:6 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If you think that you can get to the Father by any way except through Jesus, you are going to find yourself lost and except you go through Jesus, you will end up in Hell. What a sad tragedy to think that just because we do this or that we have gained the approval of the Father. God the father only looks at you through his Son Jesus Christ and Jesus came not to Judge, he came to give life to those who will come and believe on his name and who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 God had in the beginning created everything through and by Jesus Christ. We must underscore the thought that, when we talk about the beginning, The beginning was Jesus Christ, he was the beginning and all things that were created were created by him and for him. Col. 1:16 (KJV)   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:

 

This brings up the point that I need to make, that when God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost put into the creation of all things that were created, they had a plan and that plan had to do with creating an existence of individuals to be like and to exist the same as they were and had brought this into existence the very nature of the trinity that they were. In this plan there had to be a choice made for the existence to exist by choice. God made the Angels and they had two choices. The Angles either served God or they were driven out of the presence of God The Angles could not find repentance for their failure to serve God. As humans that was created in the Image of God, we have the choice to serve him or reject him. as do the Angles. We humans can be redeemed through choice back to God.

When the plan was placed into effect, God had created both good and Evil. Isaiah 45:7 (KJV)   I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

God is saying that he created Satan, Satan was not evil when he was created, he too had a choice to make and he made the choice to oppose God and follow in his own desires to reject the love of God and go in the way that he desired to go. His desires was to, not only ascend and overthrow God, but to bring into his authority as many of those Angles that would follow his ways. Satan, when he did this, God had to have a plan in his creation to trap Satan and to rid him from the presence of God and the environment in which God wanted to exist in. God has wanted to abide with his creation. He created into his plan, the means, where he could have each of his individuals, who he had created, to serve and abide with him through their choice.  In the plan, as I said, was a way to get rid of evil and separate evil from good? Satan had been given great wisdom and talents and could be rightly thought of as one that was wiser than Daniel;

Ezekiel 28:3 (KJV)   Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

Daniel, with his ability, had the means to know what was going to happen before it happened. Daniel could and did interpret dreams and was said to have the wisdom of the Holy Gods. Daniel was a gifted individual and God used him to reveal things to us that would take place in God’s plan before it ever took place. God limited his revelations to his prophets for the reason that, if he revealed too much information, Satan would be wise to what would be taking place and he; Satan would not fall into the trap that God had set for him. 1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

The cross was the most vivid plan that God had put into the creation. God not only knew that the cross was necessary, he knew from the beginning that this was going to be the ultimate decision that would rid Satan from the presence of God and his Creation. Jesus was prepared from the foundations of the world.

Rev. 13:8 (KJV)   And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Jesus was slain from the foundations of the world. This is why it was and is necessary to not reveal all of the revelations that God showed to certain of his followers. Many of us today, God reveals his secrets to, we don’t know how to keep it to ourselves. We need to ask God to let us know when he wants a matter revealed. Paul wanted to reveal to those in his time, those revelations, and had he done so, it might have deterred Gods plan from taking place. Today, when we go off on a blabbing spree, we too can hinder the Spirit from accomplishing the goal that is desired of God. Paul said it was not lawful to utter the revelations that he had heard. He could not speak spiritual things to certain individuals. Paul recognized that, to speak spiritual revelations to an individual, that individual needed to be spiritual himself. You and I cannot speak spiritual things to carnal minded individuals. The carnal mind cannot receive spiritual things from God.

Romans 8:7 (KJV)   Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Paul desired to reveal to the church some insights to the revelations of God. The church at Corinth, could not receive those revelations, because they was carnal.

1 Cor. 3:1-3 (KJV)   And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

[2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

[3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Satan, when he encountered Eve there in the Garden of Eden, he must have shown Eve the same thing that he showed Jesus when he took Jesus up into an exceedingly high mountain. Satan showed Jesus, who was the second Adam, The second Adam was before the first Adam, all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. This gives us the clue or evidence that Satan having the ability to reveal to anyone, who will be a worshiper of him, those things that could convince an individual to think that he is in control of the world and the kingdoms of the world. Let’s stop and think for a moment and listen to what the Holy Ghost is saying about this. Adam the Son of God had a wife who is the bride and Eve was tempted and succumbed to his ability to declare to her that he had and is in control of this world. She saw his revelation of the kingdoms of the world that he had set in order, now think about it for a moment and compare to that of Jesus when Satan took him into an exceedingly high mountain where he showed Jesus all of the kingdoms in a moment of time. Here is the second Adam, Satan had gotten the first Adam to fall and succumb to his devices, now once again here is the very son of God who had made him and given to him all of his wisdom and ability, that wisdom exceeded the wisdom of Daniel. Daniel had the wisdom to interpret and reveal dreams and revelations and here standing in the presence of the one who had created him, he thought that he would be able to, with his ability to draw Jesus the Second Adam away from his purpose. He got to the bride of the first Adam and corrupted her and by doing so she gave birth to hatred and a murder. The carnality of flesh had ruled among those who he was able to draw away. Now he thought that he had the church locked into his kingdom and he had took the kingdom by force.

Matthew 11:12 (KJV)   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

Here Satan thought that he had the bride, the church, under his dominion. It looked like he had gotten up into the highest seat. The seat that he occupied there in Jerusalem, when Christ was born, was the heart of those priests. Jesus had some hard words to say to those who had built a wall between Gods people and true worship. John 8:44 (KJV)   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.

Jesus is referring to Cain that was the first murder and the first liar. You see Cain was the first seed that Satan had produced or planted into the world in the form of the flesh. Satan had through Cain accomplished the object of setting himself in the seat of God.

Ezekiel 28:2 (KJV)   Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Tyrus was an example of Satan in his crafty endeavors to accomplish the plan to take God out of the hearts of those who are deceived and place himself in that seat. Satan was the most subtle beast of the Field in Eden and was there in Eden to temp Eve.

Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV)   Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Ezekiel 31:8-9 (KJV)   The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

[9] I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

These trees in the Garden of Eden is the Angles that was deceived into believing his lies.

Tyrus was a nation or city that had in it everything that anyone would think to be the grandest. The wisdom of those who made up the city of Tyrus had through the wisdom of this world, and the wisdom that was gained through the institutions that had been established in those days drew people from every corner of the world to it. The city was magnificent in every way. Those who occupied it had no need of God. They had given their power to Satan and he had set himself up to proclaim that he was God. God had no choice except to completely destroy and bring this great place into ruins. The place was so devastated by the wrath of God that it was said that it would be good for only one thing, that to place fish nets upon to dry them out. Ezekiel 26:4 (KJV)   And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.

Ezekiel 27:2-3 (KJV)   Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;

[3] And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord God; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.

Satan had through the Old Testament been compared to the flesh in his ability to accomplish his desires. Satan had gotten into the flesh and had forced his ways onto mankind every since Cain killed his brother Able. Satan did not like to serve God and was not going to do so if he had any ability to defy God. Satan has ever since the Garden took his murder and hatred to all of God’s creation and done the utmost to turn what God had created into a puppet for his own selfish desires. He took Jesus into the exceeding high mountain and showed Jesus all of the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. This had to be the most persuasive attempt to destroy God. Satan said that he would be like the most High.

Isaiah 14:14 (KJV)   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

When we look back to the time of the Tower of Babel, we can see that God himself said that with the minds of those who wanted to build a tower, that nothing would be withheld from them.

Genesis 11:6 (KJV)   And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

It was the intent of those in those days to do what we see done in this 21st century, A tower was a way of identifying to the rest of the word that certain ones had accomplished  all that they had imagined. The imaginary of those minds in those days are the same as it is of this day and time. Scientist have been working on a time machine. Time is what was placed upon Adam and all the creation when sin became dominant in the lives of those who were driven from the presence of God and from the Garden of Eden.  I do believe that when Satan was given the free course to roam this earth that time was not and did not enter into the era of that day. There is a movie that is titled, The land before Time, This has a significant sound to it. Scientist measure the age of any object, especially, the prehistoric animals and existence of man. They claim that according to the carbon measure that man has lived for millions of years. This could be true in one sense. If God did create the world and all that was in it and it did not have any time factor to control the outcome, then man could have been there for millions of years. God said that if Adam and Eve had taken of the Tree of Life they would live forever. So God drove them from the Garden and placed there flaming swords to keep the way of the tree of life.

Genesis 3:24 (KJV)   So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

»Strong's Help keruwb, Hebrew 3742, Strong's keruwb,  ker-oob'; of uncertain derivative; a cherub or imaginary figure :- cherub, [plural] cherubims.

Could have God placed a limit to man’s mind. Maybe this explains why that our understanding have to be opened by the Holy Ghost. It was certainly a factor there when Jesus came to the disciples and asked for some fish to eat. John 21:5 (KJV)   Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

What Jesus was asking was, children do you have any understanding to what has taken place? Here you are, all of you  have been routed by doubt and you have turned to go back to what you have done in the past, you have desired to go away from all that you have seen and have heard. You have not had your understanding opened. Your eyes have seen the miracles and the great things that I have done on earth and yet you still can’t understand why that I came to this world. Your minds have been blinded by the carnality of this world, and you, unless you see things with your eyes and feel with your hands you can’t believe. I have told you before that Christ must suffer and be hanged on the cross and then he must rise from the dead.  Why don’t you open your ability to that which pertained to the things from Heaven.

Jesus told them to cast their nets on the right side, what is the right side?. Jesus had told the woman at the well that the father was looking for those to worship him in spirit and truth. God seek those who will worship in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24 (KJV)   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jesus was saying to those there, Have I been so long with you and still you don’t understand. Then he opened their understanding. John 21:6 (KJV)   And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

This was an opening of the hearts of those there that would drive them to the upper room to wait for the promise. Acts 1:4 (KJV)   And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

Here lies the heart of the plan of God from the very beginning of the creation. Geneses reveals the move of the Holy Ghost when things was dark and void. Genesis 1:2 (KJV)   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Here is the clear picture of what Satan had accomplished. Satan caused the creation of God to be void. Satan had caused darkness to come upon the face of the deep. Yes Satan had caused one third of the Angels to follow him and with their help had corrupted the earth and brought darkness upon the face of the deep. The deep was the understanding of things that pertain to God and his creation. Job 12:22 (KJV)   He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

 

1 Cor. 2:10 (KJV)   But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

You are now able to understand why that I have for so many years sought out the deep meaning of the word of God. I have been driven of God into the wilderness of time and have thought that at times that I was not in the frame of mind that everyone else is in and wondered if I have sought for the wrong thing concerning the Word of God.  I can now understand what God was doing with me. God had put into my Spirit the desire to know a deeper Revelation of his Word. I believe in this time that we are in that Satan has through his deception caused the same Darkness to come upon the deep, which is the deep hidden things that God wants to reveal to those who seek to know.

I believe that in this time we need to ever be alert to the fact that the spirit of Antichrist is already at work and has been working hard. The bible states that when the unclean spirit, the spirit of Satan, has gone out of a man, he seeks for to return to the house where he was driven out by the blood of Christ and the house has been cleaned and the spirit tries to come back to enter where Christ now abides. That spirit cannot come in because that man rejects him and he can’t pass over the blood  of Christ.  Then that spirit resorts to another means, he then goes to the higher council where the spirits that have been driven out from times past. and are fallen Angles and he begins to make a league with those who are more wicked than he is and invites them to come with him and to overcome the individual that he once occupied.  This spirit now relinquishes his rights and allows him to become subject to the spirits that is to help him enter into the same house, or individual, that he has been driven out of.  Notice that the scripture states that he takes with him seven more wicked spirits.

 Matthew 12:45 (KJV)   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.

What does this describe to us. Most of us are not concerned since we have been told by those that tickle the ears, that we cannot be lost once we have been saved, and that we have eternal life no matter what we do or that comes our way. These verses puts a hole in this type of ministry and tells us that the man whom the spirit entered into had through a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof, has deceived this individual into thinking that he can substitute the real spirit for eight spirits that will come in the form of God and by the knowledge and craftiness of Satan, who had told Eve that she would not die, these same spirits now put on the robe of righteousness and come looking from the outward appearance to have the right message. This is what is happening to many today who run here and there looking for a great preacher who can lay hands on and miracles and who go about their way desiring to look to carnality for the joy that they might find. They, when temptations come are certain to fall away. Those that sought Jesus just for the miracles, they too when the chips were down fell back and said these sayings are too hard. Zeph. 1:6 (KJV)   And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him.

Have you sought the Lord, or are you seeking miracles and great personalities that are found in those who make merchandise of you. Who are coming saying. “ that Jesus is Christ”  Jesus warned them of that time when there would be a great falling away. 2 Thes. 2:3 (KJV)   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Who is that man of Sin? Most are looking to Jerusalem for the great one to appear on the scene and to exalt himself and sit in the Temple made of Stones and manmade materials. Let me open your understanding if you will. that man of sin sits in the Temple of God and has been in the Temple of God from the time that Cain was brought into this world. God said that to you, it is given to know the mysteries of God.

1 Cor. 4:1 (KJV)   Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Jesus Christ was the mystery of God to be revealed in his time. and when the fullness of time came he was revealed to his believers. Galatians 4:4 (KJV)   But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Ephes. 6:19 (KJV)   And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Job 24:1 (KJV)   Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

Col. 1:27 (KJV)   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:

All that God the father wanted was children that have the love that he has for mankind to dwell in their hearts.

John 17:23 (KJV)   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.

 

This is what is required of any parent, which the children love and respect the father and mother, and the children want more than anything to be loved by the parents. What can we do to have the undying love? Paul said that it could not be brought on by bestowing all our goods to the poor, we cannot earn it or demand it. Love is not something, Love is a living existence. God cannot exist without the heart that is open to the revealing of God’s love. God is love, Want to see the Father? look no further than one who is filled with the love of the father and you can see his son Jesus Christ radiating through that individual and you can and will identify with that individual. You Two can agree on one thing, and through that agreement  God the Father becomes real and alive in your heart and life. The light that separated darkness from light will take from you all the void and empty feelings and bring Joy to you that you cannot and will not be able to contain. Where did things of God disappear to? God is not far from each of us. In fact he is as close as our mouth. All we need to do is ASK.  I hope today that somehow that the lord has revealed to you a Deeper Revelation of his word and that your hearts be established with his Grace. It was his Grace that turned the wrath to come and at the Cross there Gods hand was once again stayed. The Wrath of God upon mankind was once again held back. Remember that Mercy rejoices against judgment This is what took place on the Cross. This is why Darkness had come on the earth for three hours. God through his son and the Cross paid the price to light the lamp of hope for mankind and the judgment was placed upon the Son of God as he took the first three and half years of the judgment. It was placed upon Jesus. Moses and Elijah took the back seat to Mercy. Moses and Elijah were told to sit for awhile until all those who would come to Christ, would come, that includes you and me and everyone that will turn from their wicked ways and be filled with the Love of God. Being filled with the Holy Ghost and with wisdom and Revelations that God has given to those who love him, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  Is your lamp out of Oil......? Ask yourself what would the Father say to you should he come and take the Church away to meet him in the air? It is my desire that after you read these words that you too will find the love of God that I found in nineteen hundred and fifty nine, there at Temple Baptist church in  Detroit Michigan, Yes there has been many days since that I have failed him and seem to lose sight of the Cross, but as Jesus said...”I will never Leave You”. I have left him many times and when I couldn’t find any consolation in this world. I could always find that Jesus, as he said, was close as my mouth, All I needed to do to find him again, was call, and he has always answered. He is your answer and whatever you do in this life, do me and Jesus a big favor, do not ever deny the Lord as your Savior.  If you deny him, he will deny you to the father, but if you will confess him before men he will confess you to the father. Again as I stop this writing today, I have given to you some, yet not I but the Lord has through the Holy Ghost, a revelation of his Word and It is my hope that you may prosper in the Holy Ghost and find a refuge for your Soul, that your soul will become a living soul and that the joy of the Lord will be your strength. May God bless you today and keep you in the Holy Ghost and that you will be sealed by the Holy Ghost unto the day of redemption.

Adam and Eve received carnality. Carnality is enmity

against God.

»Strong's Help 'eybah, Hebrew 342, Strong's 'eybah,  ay-baw'; from Hebrew 340 ('ayab); hostility :- enmity, hatred.

What Paul was saying is; to be carnally minded is to have hatred against God, and not only against God, but you will have hatred against each other.

The three things that existed in the Church are: Strife, Envy and Divisions.

1. Envy; »Strong's Help zelos, Greek 2205, Strong's zelos,  dzay'-los; from Greek 2204 (zeo); properly heat, i.e. (figurative) "zeal" (in a favorable sense, ardor; in an unfavorable one, jealousy, as of a husband [figurative of God], or an enemy, malice) :- emulation, envy (-ing), fervent mind, indignation, jealousy, zeal.

2. Strife;»Strong's Help eris, Greek 2054, Strong's eris,  er'-is; of uncertain affinity; a quarrel, i.e. (by implication) wrangling :- contention, debate, strife, variance.

3. Divisions; »Strong's Help dichostasia, Greek 1370, Strong's dichostasia,  dee-khos-tas-ee'-ah; from a derivative of Greek 1364 (dis) and Greek 4714 (stasis); »Strong's Help sarkikos, Greek 4559, Strong's sarkikos,  sar-kee-kos'; from Greek 4561 (sarx); pertaining to flesh, i.e. (by extension) bodily, temporal, or (by implication) animal, unregenerate :- carnal, fleshly. , i.e. (figurative) dissension :- division, sedition.

If the flesh cannot please God how can God communicate to a fleshly mind or individual?. This is why today, we see, many who have fallen from the very plan that God has for those who will follow in the paths of those who have made themselves true believers in Christ.  The only  way that we can be sure of our salvation is to look at what the Bible has declared to mankind about knowing whether we have passed from death unto life. These are the conditions that must be met in order to receive life everlasting: John 5:24 (KJV)   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 

1 John 3:14 (KJV)   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

It is just as plain as it could be. The only scripture that one would need to read and adhere to is these two verses that is spoken by Jesus and also one of his true followers.  What is your first love? The church, Rev. 2:4 (KJV)   Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love, had lost it’s first love. Have you ever found anyone, who had come to Jesus and repented of their sins and had been forgiven and been converted to Christ, who did not love everyone?. This is what is meant by the passage in the Bible....Matthew 10:22 (KJV)   And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Can we endure the hatred of the world, the hatred comes to us like a flood and can, if we let it, cause us to miss the mark that is expected of us. We feel that we no longer can reach the goal that is expected of us and there is no longer a reason to follow Christ, since he demands so much of us. After all he has said that we must love, not only each other, talking about our brothers in the church, but also we are to love our enemies also. My dad had said that that is a hard thing to do. Yes, my dad was right, To love your enemies is hard to do, if you are carnal minded, the secret to loving your enemy’s is to have crucified the fleshly mind that we have and not to walk after the flesh, but to walk after the spirit.

Galatians 5:24 (KJV)   And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

You ask how do I crucify the flesh, after all I am in this carnal body and how do I overcome the fleshly mind that I have? Paul had the same problem that we have and he found that when he wanted to do something that he thought was right that the evil was present with him and he could not do what he wanted to do. Romans 7:21 (KJV)   I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Romans 7:4 (KJV)   Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

The secret is... You and I need to be married to another.

The one we are married to is Jesus Christ. This is why we have so much trouble loving one another. We say that we are married to Jesus, Our desires is far from the one we are married to. Can you imagine for now, that you are married to your spouse, then all you do is desire  everything that is against what she represents, you look and lust after other women, if you are men, and want to be with the others around you. You go off fulfilling the desires toward the other women. This is what the Bible describes as the Harlot Church. The Harlot is married by outward appearances, then commits adultery with others. There needs to be a commitment to yourselves and to Jesus Christ.  The body, soul and the Spirit lives and is presence always and the three should agree together. In order to have Gods Spirit inside of you and for you to walk in the Spirit of God, you must decide to answer the call of God. No man can come to God except the Spirit draw him..

John 6:44 (KJV)   No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 14:6 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Who is the Father? The disciples ask Jesus to show them the Father ....John 14:8-9 (KJV)   Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

 

[9] 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?

Jesus was the express image of the Father.. Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)   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;

God himself through his only begotten son came into this world in the form of what we exist in today and he, taken on the human likeness, laid down his life so that he could make it possible for us to return to the Father and be able to once again have fellowship with the father like Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden. The voice of God walked in the Garden in the cool of the day. The voice of God spoke to Adam and Eve and instructed them in the things that they were to do in order to live in his presence and if they did not obey the voice of God there was a penalty that would follow and today we too have the same voice speaking to us and if we too, like Eve, listen to the other voice, the voice of the enemy, we too will have to pay a penalty for our disobedience. The penalty then was death, and today if we neglect to hear the voice from on high, we too, will pay the penalty of death, which is separation from God.

There is those who say that no matter what we do, after we accept Jesus as lord and savior that no matter what we do we will not be lost. The bible says that nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:39 (KJV)   Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is true that God has loved us so much that one would think that he can be forgiven for any sin that he committed or will commit. This is true, but we have to realize that God so loved the world, this was a love for his creation that even while we were yet sinners he loved us so much that he gave his son to be the propitiation for our sins. Now do we think that we can tread under the foot the love that was for mankind and go on and do our sinning and not have to answer to God for it. Adam and Eve had to pay the consequences for their failure to obey the voice of God. 

Hebrews 12:25 (KJV)   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:

This voice came to us from Heaven  and spoke to those that were there with Jesus and the other two prophets, namely, Moses and Elijah. Peter thought that there needed to be given honor to the flesh: alter to build for each one: Peter wanted. The voice declared that this is my beloved son. Hear ye him. Matthew 17:5 (KJV)   While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

The voice came from Heaven and declared that God the Father was in Him, Jesus his Son, and that they were to hear the message that he had for them. Jesus had the way, for he was the way and the truth.

John 14:6 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The Father had given him all power.

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

Jesus Christ had the power to forgive sins, and to do many infallible proofs in this world. He went about doing good.  He had power over the devil to cure sickness and forgive sins.

Jesus had power from on High. There was one thing that he couldn’t do... He couldn’t take one to the father except that he give his life. Jesus cried in the Garden of Gethsemane... Is there any other way that this can be done. There was only one way that you and I and all the Old Testament Saints that were to be delivered up to the Father.. Jesus must drink of the cup that the Father had given to him. This was the cup that we are to drink of.  This cup that he drank of took him to the Cross and there he was rejected by those who despise the ways of God and want to be their own God. You and I need to pay attention to what we are attempting to accomplish in this life. As I have stated in this book, there is not any sin that Jesus can’t forgive......except........that word except is the greatest disappointment that could be delivered to us.  What is the sin of non--forgiveness?. The sin of not believing in Jesus Christ and letting the Voice of The Father come into your life and change your affections from that of this world to those things that are of Heaven.  That voice is the Word of God. That word was there in the beginning and was the beginning. That Voice was God and  that Voice still today, wants to live inside of our spirit. The bible states very strongly, that if we have not the spirit, we are none of his.

Romans 8:9 (KJV)   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.

To put in a language that we can understand, If the word of God that Spoke from Heaven, Namely, Jesus Christ, If Jesus and his word is not in your existence, then you are not of God. You then, are of the Flesh. and we know that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 15:50 (KJV)   Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Flesh is corruption, it was corrupted by Satan and he will corrupt your entire life and everything that you do if you allow him to be your desire. Cain had that to happen to him after he rose up in hatred and killed his brother Able. God has rejected those who have gone in the way of Cain.

Jude 1:11 (KJV)   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 that go after Satan and go in the way of unrighteousness will perish when the lord comes with all the saints.

Jude 1:14-16 (KJV)   And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

 

[15] 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.

 

[16] 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.

To sum today writings up in these words........ God will not reveal to you things that are of Revelations, if you are not one of his and have a desire to do the things that are of God. You might think that you are getting away with your ideals and go on deceiving yourselves into thinking that you can do anyway that you think is best and that God doesn’t care what you do that he loves you so much that he will  not do you any harm. No God doesn’t have to do you harm, you will do yourself harm. You will find that your sins will find you out.

 

1 Cor. 4:5 (KJV)   Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

I am not a judge of your salvation and you might be far better off If an earthly individual was your Judge. Paul had to go down deep inside and look at another member inside of him. The member that he saw was the Holy Ghost revealing to him the Son of God who had been seen by him. Who had shined upon him a light that was so bright that he had to have one to pray for him that the scales on his eyes to be removed. We today need to come into the light of the Gospel and look at the perfect law of liberty. We today need to have the scales of doubt and carnality removed from our eyes so that we too, like Paul, can receive Revelations from God. Then we too will be as the stars in heaven. we will shine with brightness and reflect the light of Jesus Christ in our everyday life. Then others will not look on us as someone who is total carnal, but they will see the  light of the Gospel shining bright around them and they will want the same hope and we can and will be able to give them that hope and lead them into path of righteousness for his name sake.  We will come together as people who will have power to become sons of God and the Love of The Father that was manifested in Christ Jesus will be manifested in the Churches and when we come together there will not be any envying and strife and divisions. we will be in one mind and one accord and like the one hundred and twenty that gathered on the day of Pentecost, we can experience the Power that was given to Jesus as he walked in this sin torn world. At that experience the weak carnal thinking of Peter became of non-importance and he like we will, he got up and declared what the Holy Ghost had given him at that hour and his message was not of the old peter, but his message was from Heaven and look at the results that he had when thousands came to Jesus and was saved. The Gospel became alive and the followers of Christ became as Adam when God Breathed the breath of life in him........he became a living soul. We are dead in sins when we walk after the flesh. When we walk after the Spirit, we too become, living Souls.  What is your choice...do you listen to the voice of God or are you confused and do not know what voice is speaking to you. The Ethiopian Eunuch couldn’t understand what the prophet Isaiah was saying. Phillip had to under the anointing declare to him the way of salvation. You and I are ambassadors for Christ and we represent the things that are from above. Too many today represent the earthly things and have substituted the real experience for those things that does not profit the soul and the spirit.

Today I want to go to the book of Ezekiel and bring into focus the prophecy that Ezekiel prophesied concerning  the captivity of the nation of Israel.

 Ezekiel 3:24-4:6 (KJV)   Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.

God here had commanded this prophet to shut thyself within thine house. Sometimes we can be so busy going to church and dealing with the problems that face each one of us, we find ourselves so busy that we may not be doing exactly what God wants for us to do. The problems that come our way, some time cause us to feel that we cannot and don’t feel that we are accomplishing  any results for the Lord. I have noticed that many times in the Old Testament, that when God spoke to the Prophets, they were either were occupied with their business, The prophets was not expecting the Lord to come to speak to them. God had chosen Ezekiel because he was one that would do what needs to be done. God today is looking for those who will always be ready to listen to the Voice of The Lord. The Voice of the Lord can only be summarized like this: God speaks through his word and the Holy Ghost which is the Voice of God takes the word and makes it what is called the living word. In other words it comes alive. The word was made flesh and dwelt among men, If we look at the word as just printed, it would only be a printed word. The word not be alive. Paul had made the statement that henceforth, we know Christ no more after the flesh.

2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV)   Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

What Paul is saying is, that Christ came in the flesh, he  died and rose from the dead and has become alive, forever more. We are to know or be known alive, both of Christ, and ourselves. Ezekiel had the Spirit to enter into him. The spirit commanded him to obey what God spoke to him. When we are to receive from God a message, The message is sweet to our mouth, then when we are loosed to speak the word, there comes the rejection of those who hear those words. It causes them to move against you with strong resistance. Man that is in carnality does not hear what God has to say. Especially, if he loves the state he has placed himself into, He doesn’t want to be told that he is wrong and that the judgment of God will soon come upon him. God had warned that they would put bands upon Ezekiel.  God was saying, you will not be accepted by them.  These Israelites was being judged by God and they were not too happy about it. We all like to speak good things to people in general, especially those who are of the house of faith. Some time there must be a reproving. The Holy Ghost reproves the world of Sin.

John 16:8 (KJV)   And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

 

[25] But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

[26] And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

It was enough for Ezekiel to just be there and that in itself was enough to set off the anger that was among them. I get the feeling that they knew that something was coming and what was coming was toward them.

God was telling Ezekiel to wait until he, The Holy Ghost was ready to speak, before he spoke to them. We need to wait on the Lord and then speak only when God wants to speak. Notice that he said; “when I speak with thee”, I will open thy mouth.” Then he had the anointing to do what God wanted done. God help us to wait upon the anointing before we say anything concerning the oracles of God.

[27] But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

After Ezekiel waited to speak, then the judgment then was not placed upon the Prophet, but, upon those who is to hear the warning.

[4:1] Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:

This is the area that I want to bring to your attention. This tile did pourtray the city of Jerusalem. Why not just let the word drop where it may?. God wanted them to get the message loud and clear. God wanted to deal with them within a way that they, being carnal minded, would relate too. The tile displayed what they saw with their eyes. The tile represented the treasures that they head trusted in instead of trusting in the Lord. When God takes from us something that we have treasured, we sometime get angry and question why this has happened. We get very upset at God for doing this to us. The truth is that God does not do this to us, we do it to ourselves. This is what is happening to the Nation that God had delivered out of bondage with great signs and wonders that all the nations around them had feared them and God made his name great and to be feared.

[2] And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.

Here the Enemy becomes stronger than the people of God. When sin is in a nation and goes on a rampage to the extent that it goes up before God and he hears the cry’s of those who suffer from it, God at that time begins to look into the matter, as he did with Sodom and Gomorra . God overthrew those cities along with those cities around the area. Sin, when it vaunts itself in God’s creation, especially those whom God has chosen to do his will, they come under the judgment just like everyone else.

[3] Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

This iron pan, was something that represent that God would turn his face and his mercy into judgment and would not hear their prayers. God had had enough and the time was to do something before there would not be anyone who server God to be able to endure.

[4] Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.

These days that were laid upon Ezekiel, totaled four hundred and thirty days. God told Ezekiel that each day that was involved in the showing Israel their sins that would be one year for each day. This is the point of my message that I want you to see. This totaled up to four hundred and thirty days and each day represented a year, this come to the total of four hundred and thirty years. This is the same amount of years that Israel was in bondage in Egypt, and when God gave the law to Israel, the total was four hundred and thirty years. The Israelites was to be in captivity for seventy years here and this was the time that Daniel and Jeremiah and other Prophets were involved. Ezekiel seems to be a forerunner here of the judgment of God and also to be the one to Turn the hearts of the nation that God had chosen, after seventy years, he would then deliver them from their captivity. This has a significant meaning to those who were there involved in this time of judgment. It also gave light to the other Prophets to be able to speak forth, the forthcoming prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah proclaims Jesus as the Lamb that was to be humiliated and bruised. Daniel proclaims the seventy weeks of years of what is to be the cutting off of the Daily sacrifice and the overspreading of desolations. A lot of future decision were to be foretold by these men of God that was living in this time.

[5] For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

[6] And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.

These two verses describes the four hundred silent years that God would not speak to his nation, The silent years is the bridge between the last words spoken by

Malachi the Prophet. Malachi uttered the words that give us the true insight to what was being foretold even here in this time of captivity. Let’s look at what Malachi had to say when he Prophesied:

Malachi 4:4-6  Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

As I said before, It was exactly four hundred and thirty years from the time that Israel went into bondage Moses was receiving the Law. This is what Malachi is referring to. There would be ahead of this message four hundred years that God would not again speak to his people in the manner of Prophesy for four hundred and thirty years. After the four hundred years were expired. Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary, after he was thirty years of age the Baptism took place there in the river of Jordan. Who was there to baptize Jesus?. John the Baptist was the fore runner to announce the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. This is what I want you to understand very clearly. The four hundred and thirty years that was expired when Moses received the Law on Mt. Sinai. here we have the same amount of years again. Ezekiel, had been told that there would be three hundred and ninety days on his side that he would bear the Iniquity of the house of Israel. Then he was to lay again for forty days. These days were for  Ezekiel to bear the iniquity of Judah. These two instants total up to four hundred and thirty years. This is the total years including the silent four hundred years and the time that John Baptized Jesus in the river of Jordan and the Holy Ghost Descended upon Jesus and at that precise moment Jesus began to do many infallible proofs of what had been prophesied by Isaiah and the other Prophets. Jesus quoted many passages from the prophecies of the old Testament, including that of the Psalms, He also verified that Moses spoke of Him. 

[5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

Instead of Elijah the prophet being there to call fire and judgment upon the world, It is my belief that had not Jesus came and fulfilled what had been prophesied the world once again, would have been destroyed, like it was in the days of Noah. This is where mercy rejoiceth against judgment. This is where God becomes  God for sure and not like man. God had before said to Moses that he would destroy the Nation of Israel and raise up a New Nation. When Christ came, he found that the Nation of Israel, once again needed to be judged for their sins, they had made an agreement with Hell. Jesus came to disannul that agreement.

God spoke to Job about the judgment and purpose that had been placed upon him. Satan had accused job of being too righteous with God.

Job 40:6-8 (KJV)   Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

[7] Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

God had once again spoke from Heaven and was about to not only shake the mountain when he spoke to Moses. God spake to those who were there at the Baptism of Jesus and again, God Spoke to Peter when he wanted to build three tabernacles, one for Jesus, one for Moses and one foe Elijah.

Matthew 17:4 (KJV)   Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

What kind of Tabernacle could Peter build for Them there. What was to take place at the Cross could not be made with hands. This is the Stone that was cut out of the Mountain.

Daniel 2:34 (KJV)   Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

 

Daniel 2:45 (KJV)   Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Of that of Daniel; when Nebuchadnezzar saw the stone cut out of the mountain, Here is the fulfillment of the prophesy.

This Mountain was the Mountain of God and his Greatness.

God had brought to pass these prophesies and if anyone doubts whether the Bible is real, they must be Ignorant as a box of rocks. God had, as I said, took his son, just as Abraham took his son to the top of the Mountain, God was to offer himself up as the supreme sacrifice for the sins of the world. Here is where John the Baptist took the place of Elijah and Jesus took the Place of Moses and instead of God destroying the word and bringing in the seven years of tribulation, Jesus and John the Baptist took judgment upon themselves and that is a clear picture where Mercy rejoices against judgment. Yes Jesus took the first three and half of the tribulation and nailed it to the Cross. this was foretold by Daniel:

Daniel 8:11-14 (KJV)   Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

[12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Christ was that daily sacrifice that was cast down into Hell and was cut off for the sins of the people. Satan was, in his height of Glory at the Cross. He had thought that he had ridden the earth of God and he, Satan had set himself up in the Temple, both that was made of hands and also he set himself up in the Temple of God, which is the Heart and he magnified himself.

[13] Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

[14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

As I have stated that Jesus ministry lasted about three and half years, this when we total the above days mentioned in the fourteenth verse comes to about three and half years. Clearly we can see that the Devil was cast out of the Hearts of those who called upon the Lord in that time and the Temple was Cleansed and the Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost now could come to the Temple that God desired to dwell in from the beginning of Time when he walked in the Garden of Eden with his Creation. Now the Devil has been cast out of the Temple of God forever and has no access to God and his Throne. Praise the Lord.

[8] Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

 

 

Isaiah 14:27 (KJV)   For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

 

 

Galatians 3:17 (KJV)   And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

 

 

 

[6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Romans 8:35-39 (KJV)   Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

 

[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 

[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

 

[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

 

[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Galatians 5:16-18 (KJV)   This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

 

[17] 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.

 

[18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

 

 

 

1 Peter 1:22 (KJV)   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:

 

 

 

1 John 5:8 (KJV)   And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

 

 

 

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 Cor. 12:1-10 (KJV)   It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

This verse reveals that no flesh should Glory in the presence of God.

1 Cor. 1:29 (KJV)   That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Christ asked the Father to Glorify Him with the Glory that he had with the Father before the world was.

John 17:1-26 (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:

God had through Christ created mankind and all living things that was to occupy this Earth and done this through and in his Son Jesus Christ.

Col. 1:16 (KJV)   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:

Satan had been created by God and adorned and was given the Earth to exist on. Satan roamed this Earth and the wisdom that God the father gave him, he took and made himself a kingdom on this earth and took the dominion of it and caused, through his craftiness, a third of the other Angels to fall prey to his devices and Satan Glorified himself and made for himself an institution upon this Earth and began to exalt himself with the help of his followers to the point that he thought he himself was God and one sense, he was the God of this world. He had caused the Earth to become  void of understanding, and the understanding was of Gods knowledge, There was no room for God’s Love in the Earth in that Era, I believe that when this World was created that God made more than just Adam,

 

Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV)   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.

Notice that he added the plural.. Them..

[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 

[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 

God had made the Earth and had placed male and female upon the earth and blessed them and told them to multiply and replenish the earth. God wanted to replace Satan with his creation of individuals that was made in his Image, His Image was Christ Jesus that died on the Cross.

 

Hebrews 1:2-3 (KJV)   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;

Notice he said the Worlds,,,, Speaking of The existence of more than one world. Yes he gave to Satan the existence of the world and he roamed on it, He, Satan corrupted it and made it void and without form, which is to say, it had lost its purpose, The earth at this stage, was not giving shape or Glory to God the Father. Satan took the knowledge that God gave him and set up for himself intuitions.. such as we have today, like that of Harvard, Yale and many more in our society, which one today can of the wisdom of this world gain access by craftiness exceed  to the high mountains of success. When Satan took Jesus up into a exceeding high mountain, that mountain was the credentials that he offered Eve as he appeared to her in the Garden of Eden. Satan offered to her the same offer that he offered to Jesus, He got her to bow down to his wisdom, By her doing so, Satan took her desire of God away and replaced it with a desire to succeed in a worldly environment. This environment would elevate one up the ladder to success. Eve could be in control of her own destiny, or, as one would believe. Satan was not able to just go to her in the garden and say:” eat this apple” Satan had more there than man has realized over the centuries. Satan had set himself up in such a way that he could deceive one into thinking that no matter what one did they wouldn’t have to answer to The God of all Creations, which is God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. Today we have access to the Father by Faith and the Spirit and we too have before us the same Spirit of Satan called the Messenger of Satan that speaks to us Satan, as he was in the Garden of God,  is still speaking very loud to individuals Satan  through his craftiness is still deceiving many. What a sad situation we find ourselves in as we listen to Satan’s voice. We are not any different than that when Eve stood there  and took his advice. We too stand in Paradise. Will we too say, like Paul, “I choose to serve God and continue to bear the afflictions of the cross“. Yes Paul saw Christ, whether in the body or out of the body, he could not tell. We too can see Christ through his writings, if we will not listen to men or women who lie in wait to deceive.

many, through their craftiness, are trying to deceive us. Do men want to Glorify the Father or do they Glorify themselves? The bible says that we shall know them by their fruits.

 

Matthew 7:16-21 (KJV)   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.

 

What is the fruit that we should bear and that we should look for in others and in our lives?.

Are we bearing the marks of the Cross?. In the letter to the Colossians, Paul declared what the fruits would be.

[24] 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:

Paul realized that for him to be able to Glorify the God that he served, he had to continue to bear the afflictions of the Cross. Satan took, with his anger, set out to destroy the Works of God from the beginning of the Creation and vented it on Jesus at the Cross.  When Jesus defeated him with the Love of The Father, This was the power of God,  the cross is where he, Satan was kicked out of Access to Heaven and Paradise, Satan now has no access to the Paradise like he had when he approached Eve there in the Garden.  Christ made a open show of him and defeated him, he was kicked out forever, never to have access to anything that occupies the realm of faith and Love of God the Father. He has no authority anymore and is cast down from Heaven unto this world, the place he chose for himself and this world will, and I repeat, this world will cease to exist.

2 Peter 3:10 (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.

Satan knows that his time is short and that he is condemned to the fire of Outer Darkness and he is trying to delay that by trying to stop all those who come to Christ, He knows that when Gods house becomes filled the end will come.

 

Luke 14:23 (KJV)   And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

God wants to be Glorified by having his House filled with children who have been born of the Spirit and who choose to serve the Lord and walk in the ways of the Lord.

Satan knows that the Gospel must be preached unto all nations.

Matthew 24:14 (KJV)   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.

Today some preach with contention, wanting to add to our misery and other preach for strife, while others preach for love. What is the testimony of our life. Paul said that he would gladly preach the Gospel. Why did Paul give up the fame that he had under the Law, before he met Christ on the road to Damascus?. He saw what was in the life of one of those Christians. He was there when they stoned Stephen to death and heard the cries of this Holy Ghost filled man of God. I believe it shook the very foundations of his Soul and he could not sleep for thinking that there must be some Power that he had not gotten in the School where Gamaliel  taught. He had not heard such a thing like this. After all why would anyone believe in this Jesus and lay down and say to those who were stoning him.. “lay not this sin to their charge”.... This shook the foundations of his soul and took his sleep from him.. Paul realized that to have Power to lay down one’s life in this manner that he had to gain access to God by some way that he did  not know of.  God had showed the Power that Christ had as he hung on that cross and died for the sins of the world. That this power cannot be given from the wisdom of this world, but only can come from God the Father.  Love, How do we draw a picture of it? How can we explain it. It can take the worst of sinners and change them into the most lovable people.  Love that comes from the Father did and will cause us to lay down our lives so that others can have the blessed hope that we experience. This is what the revelation of God that Paul had received when he was caught up. He could not write it or draw a picture of it.. He only could offer himself to the afflictions that Satan threw at him. You see love will take you into the strangest places that you never dreamed that you would go.

Isaiah 42:16 (KJV)   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.

If  you think that you know God and Hate your brother, you are in darkness.

Song 3:10 (KJV)   He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

Yes Jesus paved the way for Paul and all the rest of us to follow. The pillars of truth are like silver and the foundation is liken unto Gold...the beauty of the love of God is like the adorning of that of purple. The vale was purple that led man into the Holiest of all. The way to God the Father was Paved with Love.  All this was for the Children of the Most High.

The Love of  Christ surpasses all of the wisdom of this world and cannot be bought with silver and gold. It is free and all you have to do to experience what Paul experienced is believe upon and receive Christ as the Sacrifice for your sins. He will come into your Presence and He will take you into the Presence of the Father and will seal you with his Holy Ghost and  will present you to the Father  Holy and Blameless.

Do yourself a favor; don’t go after the rudiments of this world.  Accept Jesus as your lord and savior today. He will wipe away the penalty of your sins. That penalty is death and separation from God the Father.  Remember that Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.

Rev. 20:14 (KJV)   And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

We are dead because of the penalty of sin that was brought upon us by the fall of Adam and Eve. A curse was brought upon all mankind. Jesus took our sins. Jesus took the curse and nailed it to the cross so that you and I can rise up with him and become the sons of God . Just like Jesus was the first fruits of those who slept. we too find ourselves asleep and we need to awake out of sleep.. We need to let the light of the Gospel of  Christ shine unto the world so they might as Paul was ....bearing the reproaches of the cross put there by Satan. Paul was carrying the Cross continually through the community and throughout the world. Paul carried the cross that  others could after he was  gone to be with the lord....would  see from the life that he lived, they too would be bearing the reproaches of the cross, so that others that followed  would  find Christ in their time remaining.

 

Jesus was in the flesh and dwelt among man and one would think that had Jesus not went to the cross that Satan would have trapped Jesus in the flesh, This could be a reasonable fact if it wasn’t for one other fact. The fact that Christ was to die for the sins of the world would have been accomplished anyway. Jesus would not have lived in the flesh forever, you see he came in the flesh and like us, he would have died and the flesh that he had occupied would have died. Was it that he had to go to the Cross to set men free from their sins?. I would think that he could have accomplished his mission either way. After all, Jesus said that no man taketh his life,

John 10:18 (KJV)   No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Jesus could have given his life anytime. The reason he went to the Cross was to make a open show of Satan.

Col. 2:15 (KJV)   And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

God always does everything openly and doesn’t say or do anything in secret.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[3] 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;

Yes he purged our sins and sat down on the right hand of  the Majesty on High. You and I, he took with him through faith and one day soon he will come to catch us up and we will be with him forever. 1 Thes. 4:13-18 (KJV)   But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

 

[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 

[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 

[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

 

 

It is my desire that you will find comfort in this writing of the words of this book. I believe for years that the lord wanted me to write, but every time I started to write I just seem to go blank, now that I have for so many years sought a deeper revelation of God's word, I believe now is the time for me to impart to you what God has given to me from on High.  I have prayed that God to give me a double portion of his wisdom and his Love.  The Holy Ghost is the Wisdom of God the Father and it has brought to this world the Love of God the father. Satan took that Love to the Hill called Golgotha and with him took two more like us and gave each of them a choice. Jesus said that he had no other choice and laid down his flesh for our Sins. The other railed on him and said to him, “ get me out of my troubles and sentence and return me to the ground below and let me finish out my life on this world, he was saying I am not ready to accept you as savior right now and have too much to live for. The other on  the other side of Christ bowed and said” I am guilty of all that they say that I am guilty and I am guilty of more than what they say of me. I deserve to die and all I ask is that you have mercy and compassion and let me die with you and that you will remember me when you, Christ come into your kingdom.

Which one of the malefactors is You? Satan has took us and continues to nail us to the cross in our everyday lives and has made us a spectacle in the world and the whole world hates you and I and has put us side by side of the Christ that is crucified and is loudly proclaiming to us. “Come down from there”

All you need to do for us to pull you from the cross that you bear is to deny the one you have put your trust in. All you need to do is bow down and Worship the God of this world. just as Satan told Jesus when he took him up into that high mountain....and like he told Adam and Eve......”you shall not Die”  Has he told you any lies today and what has he promised you? Remember he is a liar and the father of all lies.

1 John 4:20 (KJV)   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?

Do you hold onto your merits of this world. Do you have a position in the House of God and will smite your brother to death like Cain.....What offering can you offer to God that would suffice. If you hate your brother that you see every day and say that you love God. you are a liar. and no liar shall enter into the Love of God. Lies and Love are as far from each other as the east is from the west.  The opposite of Love is Lies. The opposite of God the Father is the God of this World and his Name is Satan. He has many other names just like God has many names....search the Bible and find for yourselves the falsehood of Satan and find the eternal promises of what Gods Love has in store for those who love him.

Would, or have you made a derogatory remark against Eve, saying how foolish she was. You and I are no different in this present era as she was in that era. We too have many trees to eat fruit from and we too have the tree of knowledge of good and evil to choose from and we have too, the Tree of Life, which is Jesus Christ, He stands, and we stand in the mist of  this Garden that God has placed us in. We too have Two Voices, The one is the Voice of God, That is The Holy Ghost, He talks with us and is presence, he visits us in the cool of the day when we come home from all the hustle and bustle of our everyday experiences and when we lie down  or still away we too can hear him speak to us ever so gently and he assures that his presence is near us and in us, and that we should not fear anything that Satan has threw at us during the day. Maybe at work Satan appeared in some evil person, and began to make your day so terrible that you felt that God had forsaken you too, like Christ when he was on the cross and he had cried out..” why hast thou forsaken me” yes the pain of this life gets so great that we sometime feel that God has left us to the Wolves and doesn’t care what happens to us. When we fall beneath the load as we are carrying the Cross we too have to call on someone to help bear our cross, and when we do call on someone to help they sometime make the cross more horrible because they don’t feel or care what we are going through. Yes Satan the tree of knowledge comes alive just as it was in the Garden of Eden and offers us a solution to our discouragement. He tell us in the messenger that abides in our flesh to give up and quite serving that God who doesn’t care for you, He says that all the ones around is a Hypocrite and you don’t need to have that fellowship. He will whisper into your inner mind that the world is laughing and having a party and you are not what you say you are, and that God has lied to you and if you will summit to the ways of the world that everything will be ok and you will not have to pay a penalty for your sins. Just go out and have a party and let down on that speaking and praising God and don’t look into the Bible for your answers for He Satan  has the answers......It may be a bottle of Whiskey or a fix of drugs. You know that life is given you a raw deal and now you ought to let up and go the way that everyone else is going. This he repeats continually to you and if you give him a place in your mind he will put out a flood and try to swallow you up in yourself. He will rob you of your victory that is in Jesus and you will be like the dog that returned to his own vomit.....you will be lapping up that which was taken from you when Christ came to you and offered you the Love of the Father. The Father stands near and is there always to take the load off of you and will take the cross that you bear daily and turn it into a blessing and promise you that you will receive a blessing that there won’t be room for you to receive it. Jesus said in my father's house are many mansions;

John 14:2 (KJV)   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.

Jesus has prepared a place for you, not only in Heaven, He has prepared a place here in the world for you and will protect you from all the fiery darts that Satan throws at you.

Ephes. 6:16 (KJV)   Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

What is the shield of Faith..

Ephes. 6:17-18 (KJV)   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;

 

I have seen and now we see those who serve God by personality.....that I mean, those who are led by ministers who are able with fair speeches, alluring those who are laden with sins. who have escaped from the pollutions of this world and draw them into perdition, being deceived. they are drawn away by their own choice.

2 Peter 2:18-22 (KJV)   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.

 

[19] While they{SATAN’s Disciples} 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.

 

[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.

I feel the urgency to make this clear to you that you will be without excuse o man whoever you are and that I have warned you that in the times that we are in, which is the last days, that the spirit of anti-Christ is in the world and is already at work.

1 John 2:18-19 (KJV)   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.

 

[19] 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.

I wondered why that the mark of the beast would be so easy for people, both small and great,

Rev. 13:16 (KJV)   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:

I said to God.......How can this be. He asked me where is his Temple.......I replied....In the Heart... He then replied and said that the people set the beast up in their heart which is the Temple of God. Then I understood that instead of looking for the antichrist over there in Jerusalem, where everyone is looking for, he is already at work...setting himself up in the Heart. This is the Temple of God.  If you are looking for the answer over in Jerusalem, forget it....when he comes there it is over and the Church is in Heaven and the wrath of God is being poured out on this Earth. Let me explain to you what happened at the Cross. Yes we all know that Jesus died for our sins. but prior to the cross, Jesus gave us some insight to what was to take place there. First of all, Christ was a mystery hidden from the foundations of the world.

Mark 4:11 (KJV)   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:

Christ only gave those who would walk by faith the knowledge of the coming of Jesus and what his purpose was for. Satan knew that he was coming to the world, but he didn’t know how it would take place.. this information and prophesy was hid from him and to those who chose to follow him.

1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

God had a plan to defeat Satan and he followed it to the letter.

In the letters of the Old Testament it tell us that there was a horrible day to appear on earth and that was to proceed the coming of the Lord.

Malachi 4:4-6 (KJV)   Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

 

[5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

 

[6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

Now we know that Elijah was caught up and did not die as everyone else. Elijah was a judgment prophet. He could and did call fire down from heaven. Literately he did call fire down on those who were rebellious and did not have respect for him.

2 Kings 1:12 (KJV)   And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

John the Baptist came to be a fore runner to Christ...to introduce him to the world.

Luke 3:4 (KJV)   As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Many came out to hear John preach.

Luke 3:7 (KJV)   Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

These who came to hear him thought that the end of the world had come and this was Elijah the Prophet and that when he comes that as Malachi had spoken in prophecy that the end was near. These were literally scared to death. They didn’t want to get caught in their sins and wanted to get right with God. You can hear John saying. “bring forth fruits meet for repentance” Are you coming because you are afraid that the end is come?. Yes that is just what was in their mind. And they were right to think this. For four hundred and thirty years God had not spoken by any prophet and Satan had caused the earth to become void once again and darkness not only was upon the face of the deep.........meaning the people.........He had set himself up in the Temple that stood there made of stones and other material's. He through the four hundred and thirty years had crept into the Temple and had crept into the Very hearts of the Pharisee’s and had set himself up in the earthly Temple, both made with hands and into the Heart....the heart was where that God should be setting and controlling. Now we know that Moses spoke of Christ.....a prophet like unto him......

Acts 3:22 (KJV)   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.

 

Acts 7:37 (KJV)   This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

This is that Moses.....Christ was there instead of Moses, Just like Moses as he stood between the Judgment of God and the children of Israel.....here again instead of a man called Moses.....we have a Moses type from Heaven....the very God himself. getting ready to offer himself as a sacrifice.. just as Abraham told Isaac. Isaac said to his father:

Genesis 22:7-8 (KJV)   And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

 

[8] And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

 

As Abraham and Isaac and his father went to the top of the mountain together and obeyed the Voice of God and heard from heaven. Jesus and john the Baptist came from the anointing of the Holy Ghost to proclaim liberty to those who were bruised.

 Luke 4:17-18 (KJV)   And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

 

[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Jesus, Moses and Elijah had met on the mount of transfiguration and talked this over and Jesus had told them in my opinion that things were going to be a little different and they, Moses and Elijah should tarry for to see what is about to take place.......Jesus had said that if you will have it....” this is Elijah”:

Matthew 11:10 (KJV)   For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

This is the one that Malachi prophesied of that would come before that terrible day of the Lord. He shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Now to give you some insight.

Many today teach that there is going to be seven years of tribulation, and their teaching is correct according to the law and the prophets. But we need to stop and think about this and see that Since Christ came he brought in a better hope;

Hebrews 7:19 (KJV)   For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

What is that better hope?. Let me explain what I mean about this better Hope. The bible tells us that Mercy rejoices against judgment.

James 2:13 (KJV)   For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

 

This is the key to what I am talking about when I said that Jesus was discussing the end of time with Moses and Elijah there on the Mountain.

I believe that Jesus was telling them that he and John the Baptist was going to take the Judgment of the first three and half of tribulation and instead of judgment upon mankind that the father wanted and was going to extend his mercy for an undetermined time and they would take that judgment meant for the creation of god that was to be dealt with in the first three and half years spoken by Daniel the prophet and place it upon themselves, especially the curse would be laid upon Jesus himself. John would, instead of calling fire of destruction down on mankind would warn them that judgment was imminent and that the Father would if Jesus did or would not die, would destroy every soul ......every soul...including the old testament saints........Had not Jesus died on the cross the judgment was set and the end was there and the tribulation was nigh and eminent and mankind would have been wiped out. Think about this and I am warning that it is and most likely that there will not be a first three and half years of tribulation and that all is left when Christ comes for the church is the consummation;

Daniel 9:27 (KJV)   And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

In the middle of the week. Jesus was Crucified and he took the Curse on himself...

Deut. 21:22 (KJV)   And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

Galatians 3:13 (KJV)   Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Malachi said that he would smite the earth with a curse. Thank be unto Christ for taking the curse from me and you and nailing it to the tree and his mercy has extended to the point that Jesus himself didn’t know when the Father had put into his hands;  Nebuchadnezzar was a example of that of the lengthen of the tranquility and was told to repent and give glory to God or he would be driven out into the field to live like the beast of the field for seven years and, he,  Said that he knew that the God of the Heaven did rule among men;

 

Daniel 4:27 (KJV)   Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.

 

1 Kings

3:14 (KJV)   And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

 

We don’t even realize what Christ did for mankind. Now to summarize. this is what took place. Christ stopped judgment upon mankind, He came in the fullness of time;

 END 9-8-02

 

 

 

 

1 Kings 3:14 (KJV)   And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 63:4-6 (KJV)   For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

 

[5] And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

 

[6] And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[2] As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

 

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

 

[4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

 

[5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

 

[6] 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.

 

[7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

 

[8] 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.

 

[9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

 

[10] And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

 

[11] 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.

 

[12] 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.

 

[13] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

 

[14] 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.

 

[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

 

[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 

[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

 

[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

 

[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 

[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 

[21] 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.

 

[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

 

[23] 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.

 

[24] 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.

 

[25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

 

[26] 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.

 

 

 

What was that Glory that Jesus had with God the Father?.

Psalm 50:13-23 (KJV)   Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

 

[14] Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

 

[15] And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

 

[16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

 

[17] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

 

[18] When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

 

[19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

 

[20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

 

[21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

 

[22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

 

[23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

 

 

 

 

 

[2] I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

 

[3] And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

 

[4] How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

 

[5] Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

 

[6] For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

 

[7] And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

 

[8] For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

 

[9] 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.

 

[10] 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.

 

 

 

 

Col. 1:1-4:18 (KJV)   Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

 

[2] To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[3] We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

 

[4] Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

 

[5] For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

 

[6] Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

 

[7] As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

 

[8] Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

 

[9] For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

 

[10] That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 

[11] Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

 

[12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

 

[13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

 

[14] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

 

[15] Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

 

[16] 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:

 

[17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

 

[18] 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.

 

[19] For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

 

[20] 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.

 

[21] And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled:

 

[22] In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

 

[23] If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

 

[24] 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:

 

[25] 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;

 

[26] Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

 

[27] 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:

 

[28] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

 

[29] Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

 

[2:1] For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

 

[2] That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

 

[3] In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

[4] And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

 

[5] For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

 

[6] As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

 

[7] Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

 

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

 

[9] For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

 

[10] And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

 

[11] In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

 

[12] Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

 

[13] And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

 

[14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

 

[15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

 

[16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

 

[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

 

[18] Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

 

[19] And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

 

[20] Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

 

[21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

 

[22] Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

 

[23] Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

 

[3:1] If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

 

[2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

 

[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

 

[4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

 

[5] Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

 

[6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

 

[7] In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

 

[8] But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

 

[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

 

[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

 

[11] Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

 

[12] Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

 

[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

 

[14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

 

[15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

 

[16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

 

[17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

 

[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

 

[19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

 

[20] Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

 

[21] Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

 

[22] Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

 

[23] And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

 

[24] Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

 

[25] But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

 

[4:1] Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

 

[2] Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

 

[3] Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

 

[4] That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

 

[5] Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

 

[6] Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

 

[7] All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

 

[8] Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

 

[9] With Onesimus,»{Strong's Help Onesimos, Greek 3682, Strong's Onesimos,  on-ay'-sim-os; from Greek 3685 (oninemi); profitable; Onesimus, a Christian :- Onesimus.}, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

 

[10] Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)

 

[11] And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

 

[12] Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

 

[13] For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

 

[14] Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

 

[15] Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

 

[16] And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

 

[17] And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

 

[18] The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

 

 

 

 

John 7:37-38 (KJV)   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.

 

[38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

 

 

 

 

John 7:39 (KJV)   (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.)

Acts 25:11 (KJV)   For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.

A child of God, living in this world, stands in accusation of many things that, no doubt, he or she is guilty of; Also he or she stands accused of things that he or she is not guilty of. Paul stood accused of loving God enough that he was willing to be spent for the Gospel’s sake. After he had spent his efforts toward furthering himself to be approved of by the flesh and wanted to be accepted by his familiars, he only found that what Gamaliel had taught him in one school of Tarsus:

 

Acts 22:3 (KJV)   I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

Paul had, as we can see in this passage, a zeal for God. His zeal for God in his own eyes was a very wise and dedicated effort on his part. He went about faithfully doing what he thought to be the right thing.

 

Romans 10:2 (KJV)   For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

Paul, being a Jew and a Pharisee, By the deeds of the Law went forth and without contradiction became the most energetic disciple that Satan had at that time and was a threat to the office of God and to all those who followed in the paths of righteousness. He persecuted to the fullness of the Law. Satan had chosen a man in this fleshly tabernacle and made out of that man a true disciple that, at that time, according to the flesh, no one could doubt that he had the answers to what Satan had instituted , He had convinced Saul himself that this was the choicest of all, that had represented God the Father above. Today Satan has took what God has put into existence and corrupted it to the level that those who are dull of hearing and have eyes to see cannot see God. The only thing most people today see is, that of the outward man, of the ways of  mankind excelling to the point that the flesh has exalted itself to look like the very existence of God himself. This is what the prophet wrote under the anointing of God:

 

Isaiah 14:13-

14 (KJV)   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 

[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Satan had been given the greatest honor among the Angles that God had created: Ezekiel 27:1-28:2 (KJV)   The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

 

[2] Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;

 

[3] And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord God; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.

 

[4] Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

 

[5] They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.

 

[6] Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.

 

[7] Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.

 

[8] The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.

 

[9] The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.

 

[10] They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.

 

[11] The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.

 

[12] Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.

 

[13] Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.

 

[14] They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.

 

[15] The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.

 

[16] Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

 

[17] Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

 

[18] Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

 

[19] Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.

 

[20] Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.

 

[21] Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.

 

[22] The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.

 

[23] Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.

 

[24] These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.

 

[25] The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

 

[26] Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.

 

[27] Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.

 

[28] The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

 

[29] And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;

 

[30] And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:

 

[31] And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

 

[32] And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?

 

[33] When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.

 

[34] In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.

Jesus, on the cross, did just what was written here by the prophet. Jesus defeated Satan on the cross. Had not Jesus come and gave himself a ransom for sin, this prophecy would have been fulfilled at this time. Jesus came in the fullness of time:

 

 Galatians 4:4 (KJV)   But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Christ came at the time that the curse of mankind was at the end. Jesus stood between the judgment of the Father. He was the mercy that pushed back judgment. 

 

 

[35] All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.

(Luke 10:18 (KJV)   And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.)

(Rev. 12:12 (KJV)   Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.)

 

 

 

 

[36] The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.

 

[28:1] The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

 

How has the word of the Lord come to you? With what credentials did it come with? What college did it graduate from. Yale, Harvard? or did it come from a religious institution?. When Peter said to Jesus:

Mark 9:5 (KJV)   And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

Peter did not know what he was saying. Peter like most of us, being there when God was arranging for the defeat of Satan began to give his opinion and by doing so he caused this meeting to come to a close. To many times when we receive from God some message, we too get ahead of God and cause God’s Spirit to be hindered. Here was the one that God had given the Law to, The one who was a Judgment Prophet, and the very God the Father incarnate in the flesh, talking over the destiny of all the human race and what the plans that were to be initiated, then after the meeting, there came a voice from Heaven saying; Matthew 17:5 (KJV)   While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

 

 

2 Peter 1:17 (KJV)   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.

Later, after Peter Heard That Voice, He wrote these words warning those who will hear the Voice, of the Holy Ghost, and who will listen, He gave us some real assurance and also he gave to us some strong warnings if we will not Hear The Voice of God. Adam and Eve Heard a Voice and that Voice was the Lord walking in the Cool of the day in the Garden. Adam and Eve also heard another Voice there in the Garden of God. That Voice was not the Lord God. That voice was Satan who wanted to ascend up to the highest to be like God. When Satan took Jesus up into an exceeding High Mountain, Satan wanted to take that of God, who was made lower than the Angles:

Psalm 8:5 (KJV)   For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

he bargained with the Son of God. He took him to the Highest position that Satan could offer and told Jesus:

 

Matthew 4:9 (KJV)   And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Satan had tried this on several occasions in the past and no doubt had accomplished some of his missions on those who, were not committed to God entirely. There were three Hebrew children whom God had chosen to fall prey to his devices. These three Hebrew children would not bow to his devices:

Daniel 3:16-18 (KJV)   Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

 

[17] 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.

 

[18] 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.

Yes like the three Hebrew children, Jesus himself was taken up to an High mountain and promised many things including the world. This was the creator of the very world that Satan had laid claim to, standing in Satan’s presence and Knowing that he was the very God that had created him, yet he had the gall to stand there and try to convince Jesus that he was the God of the world, I can imagine some of the things that he had promised: I will give you a set of credentials that when you speak, all men will give ear and they will follow after you. The only thing is that you must comply with is to restore to me the Position that I once had, I will give back to you the one third of Angels that i took from you, now, what do you think about that?. Can you imagine the stupidity of Satan, Well, just stop a moment and think of the stupidity, that we fall into the category, today as we too hear the voice of God walking in our mist and then to think that we can shake our fist in the face of God and refuse to hear his Voice.

 

Hebrews 12:25 (KJV)   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:

The question has been put to us; have they not heard?:

 

Romans 10:18 (KJV)   But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

Just like it was in the Garden of Eden, Just like the malefactors on the cross, we have a choice to hear Jesus say:

Luke 23:43 (KJV)   And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

or we too can go down into the pit and hear the cries of those who are in torment:

Luke 16:24 (KJV)   And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Are you Hearing the Voice of the one crying in the wilderness or are you refusing to hear him that speaks from heaven?. You will hear the Voice of the Lord say to you,

Matthew 25:23 (KJV)   His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Or will you hear him say to You:

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

 

Matthew 25:41 (KJV)   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:

Matthew 8:12 (KJV)   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Like Israel, Many today will not hear his Voice. Be assured we all will stand in the Judgment:

2 Cor. 5:10 (KJV)   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

 

Like peter and Paul, They both Listened to the Voice from on High and I too have heard the Voice of God from on High and I have chosen to follow the ways of the Lord. The cost Is sometime a High cost and Like Jesus, we have to bear the reproaches of the Cross. The prophet said:

 Isaiah 53:2 (KJV)   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.

Satan, while he was adorned with great honor, chose to take the honor and corrupt it and try to over throw God. He is still today trying to overthrow those who follow after righteousness. The Earth was Void and Darkness was upon the face of the Deep:

Genesis 1:2 (KJV)   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

God said that He was a Tree in the Garden of Eden:

 

Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV)   Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

God had given him everything that would make him stand taller than any of the Angels. Satan was roaming the Earth and going to and fro:

Job 1:7 (KJV)   And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

 

Job 2:2 (KJV)   And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Satan has come down from his high horse and has become a man:

Genesis 4:1 (KJV)   And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

Eve had gotten a man from the Lord truly, the question is; what Lord? Cain was of the Devil; John 8:44 (KJV)   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 3:8 (KJV)   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.

 

Let us look at the whole picture and elaborate on it now that you might understand what took place in the Garden of Eden and the era that proceeded the Creation of Adam and mankind.

Satan, being the most adorned Angel. was given the earth to inhabit and was given charge over the Host of Heaven which is made up of All the Angels, Satan had wisdom of inconceivable measures:

 

Ezekiel 28:3 (KJV)   Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

Nothing was hid from him. One would think that he would guard this ability with great care and tenderness. Satan like us today with the Gift of The Holy Ghost given to the believers of Christ, We too have unlimited wisdom given to us. How do we guard this wisdom. Do we handle it the same as Satan did? Are we in the Garden of God like Adam and Eve. After all we are made to sit in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus:

 

Ephes. 2:6 (KJV)   And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Satan sat in Heavenly Places on this Earth and had the dominion of it at one era. Satan was not satisfied and began to corrupt it and he caused Darkness to come upon the face of the Deep:

Genesis 1:2 (KJV)   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Satan had caused the Earth to be Without Form. One might compare it with of that of a child in the mother’s womb and certainly it would be dark and void and not of form until a child that would be formed in the womb, then would the child take form and begin to take on a form and the life of that child would await the for the coming out of the womb, when then it would see light for the first time, it would then take its first breath and then it would begin to become a living soul. The child then would spring up as a tender plant out of dry ground.

Isaiah 53:2 (KJV)   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.

We don’t see a newborn child as anything except pure undefiled love. no one could help but love that child, except, a beast like person, which describes the perverts that do harm to the innocent little ones in our society today. You want to get a picture of what Satan really is just look at a sick in mind man that would sodomize a infant child and you can get a clear picture of what Satan is really Like, O yes, he paints a picture of life of that of something very sweet and is through his craftiness, he is able to make you think that he is the perfect Angel and would not harm anyone, but those who are born of the Spirit know what he really is.

He corrupted the Earth and while it was void and Darkness was upon the face of the deep, God reached down into this old Dark and Void world and grabbed a handful of Dust and breathed upon it and that handful of dust became a Living Soul. All through the ages before Christ he still made to those, who refuse to Hear the Voice of God, like an adamant stone;

 

Zech. 7:12 (KJV)   Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Lord of hosts.

Satan talked to Eve and convinced her that in this world you have to believe a lie in order to gain popularity and that to achieve success in this world she needed  to go the ways of the World that he had corrupted and the picture that he painted before her was so convincing that she fell for it, Hook Line and Sinker, as the saying goes. You say why would she do that, Take a look at Esau, when he was caught off guard and was hungry and cold, he had been out in the field hunting, this was his love, where his heart was, there was his treasures:

Genesis 25:33 (KJV)   And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

Hebrews 12:16 (KJV)   Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

The question is: what was going through the mind of Eve and Adam?. I ask you, What is going on in your mind: The Bible tells us to have the mind of Christ.1 Cor. 2:16 (KJV)   For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Did Eve have the mind of Christ?, Jesus was from the beginning;

John 6:64 (KJV)   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.

Today it is not any different than that of Adam and Eve. We too, Have the power of the Holy Ghost abiding in us and with that we are in essence in the presence of God through faith and sit in Heavenly places, just like Adam and Eve, we enjoy the presence of the Glory of God the Father and one would ask why would we refuse the Holy Ghost? Just like Adam and Eve we are confronted with the devices of Satan and his voice too many times is louder than the Voice of The Lord, The Holy Ghost is the same Voice of the Lord that walked in the cool of the day, Like Eve we are enticed by the things of this world and go after the wrong voice, we become weak and drawn away from the presence of the Lord just like Adam and Eve was driven from the presence of the Lord and like Adam and Eve, we too give birth to a seed of Satan and  the seed is that of the flesh.

 

Galatians 5:19 (KJV)   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

She must have seen Satan as a Handsome Tall Man, Very intelligent, as today he had gotten him riches and fame;

Ezekiel 28:4-5 (KJV)   With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

 

[5] By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

Look at yourself today; It is just the same as it was in the world when Satan confronted Eve. It is no different today than it was then. We are confronted with the messenger of Satan. Paul, although he was a student of Gamaliel, he lost sight of the creator and could not in the Law that was given on Mt Sinai, see the Lord and could not Hear the Voice of The Lord. Paul only heard what Satan had to say, that is until he was confronted by the Lord, on the road to Damacus, There he Heard from on High, And I want to say; Thank God he did not Refuse to Hear, we have his Gospel today to guide us and to help us when we are afflicted by the devices of Satan.

Yes Satan took the wisdom that God had given to him and used it for his own Glory and not of that of for God’s Glory.

What are we using the Holy Ghost for today?. I will let you answer that question, not to me, but unto God. God will be the one each of us will have to answer too. God will have the last word to say. What will he say to you and I. The saying goes; You can live with anything, but can you die with it?.

Ezekiel 28:4 (KJV)   With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

 

 

Luke 12:34 (KJV)   For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

 

 

 

Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV)   Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ephes. 4:14 (KJV)   That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 2 Peter 1:1-2:22 (KJV)   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:

 

[2] Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

 

[3] 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:

 

[4] 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.

 

[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

 

[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

 

[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

 

[8] 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.

 

[9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

 

[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

 

[11] For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

 

[12] 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.

 

[13] Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

 

[14] Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

 

[15] Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

 

[16] 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.

 

[17] 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.

 

[18] And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

 

[19] 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:

 

[20] Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

 

[21] 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.

 

[2:1] 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.

 

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

 

[3] 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.

 

[4] 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;

 

[5] 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;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

[9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

 

[10] 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.

 

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

 

[12] 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;

 

[13] 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;

 

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

 

[15] 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;

 

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

 

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

 

[18] 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.

 

[19] 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.

 

[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.

 

 

 

 

2 Peter 1:1-2:22 (KJV)   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:

 

[2] Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

 

[3] 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:

 

[4] 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.

 

[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

 

[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

 

[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

 

[8] 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.

 

[9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

 

[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

 

[11] For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

 

[12] 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.

 

[13] Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

 

[14] Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

 

[15] Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

 

[16] 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.

 

[17] 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.

 

[18] And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

 

[19] 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:

 

[20] Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

 

[21] 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.

 

[2:1] 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.

 

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

 

[3] 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.

 

[4] 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;

 

[5] 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;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

[9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

 

[10] 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.

 

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

 

[12] 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;

 

[13] 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;

 

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

 

[15] 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;

 

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

 

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

 

[18] 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.

Mark 9:5 (KJV)   And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

 

 

Mark 9:5 (KJV)   And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

 

 

 

[2] Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Hebrews 12:25 (KJV)   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:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 Thes. 5:23 (KJV)   And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Notice that Jesus said; He prayed that: Spirit, Soul and Body be blameless unto the coming of the Lord.

He is here separating the Body, Soul and the Spirit. telling us that we are complete in him when the Spirit Leads the Soul into His Righteousness, and when the Spirit directs the soul the Mind, which is the processor, like a processor in a  computer processes and brings upon the monitor which shows what is being entered into the computer with the fingers typing the information on the keyboard, The Holy Ghost is like the Hand with fingers that is typing into the computer; Christ is the intercessor between the Computer which makes up the processor and the monitor and the keyboard and the monitor is the display that give us the information that is being processed into it. This is the way that the Holy Ghost does it relates from Christ, who in turn Types or infuses into us that that will make us complete and our brain which is our processor in turn brings out to the outer man the fruits of the Spirit. This is how others view us; just like we view the monitor, We are the computer, and in us we have the processor and the Holy Ghost types into us the Words and the Ways of God the Father through Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost only, I say Only, the things that Glorify The Father and Jesus Christ. He the Holy Ghost, He not an It, as some of think, when we say that we have it; referring to the Holy Ghost. He is the Third Person: They are Three; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost which is God the Spirit. John 4:24 (KJV)   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Jesus said when he approached the Disciples, after he rose from the dead; John 21:5 (KJV)   Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

They thought that He was a Spirit. He then said: Luke 24:39 (KJV)   Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Then he took and did eat with them. Luke 24:39-45

[40] And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

 

[41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

 

[42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

 

[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.

 

[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

 

[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

This is what The churches of God today need to Do more than anything; We need to let God through the Holy Ghost Type into our Processor the Knowledge and the Ability to Open The Understanding Of The Scriptures, God Help Us Today...  How Limited was the disciples in that time and how limited are we today as the results of our fleshly minds seeking after the things of this world, and not the things form above:

 Col. 3:2 (KJV)   Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

When will we learn to Feel of his Hands and his Feet. His hands and his feet are the Power of the Holy Ghost who walks among us everywhere we go. We are complete in Him.

Col. 2:10 (KJV)   And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

The Soul has a Mind; The processor, Has a Body to inhabit. (the temple of the Holy Ghost), and has a choice to make, either to receive from God through the Spirit the things from Heaven, or can choose to receive from the Angle of Light, which is Satan and can turn away from the true light that lighteth every man that comes into the world; John 8:12 (KJV)   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 9:5 (KJV)   As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

As long as The Holy Ghost is in the World; Satan has no Power over those who choose to follow Jesus Christ. He has been robbed of his power over mankind. the only power he has is that which we give him, and do we give him glory when we let him lead us into perdition. He will lead us away from the true light and into darkness, because he is the prince of Darkness. The Scripture tell us that:

2 Thes. 2:7 (KJV)   For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

This means that he being defeated on the cross is cast out into the world, but has been stripped of all authority over Gods Children, The only thing he can do to those who walk after the Spirit, and not after the flesh, is to torment them. The believer filled with the spirit is holding the Judgment of God from destroying the whole creation of God. When you think of yourself as a little insignificant piece of human flesh, think again, it’s the Grace of God that abounds inside of you that is able to hold back the wrath of God on this sin torn World. Like Moses, when he stood between God and the children of Israel, when they were disobedient and was going after strange flesh, Yes Jesus said I Go Away,

John 14:28 (KJV)   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.

 

John 16:7 (KJV)   Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The disciples were sad when Jesus went away, on the Cross, while Satan was being kicked out, the disciples and everyone else, stood afar off;

Luke 23:49 (KJV)   And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

This was no surprise and today it is no surprise that those who lose their hope stand afar off. It takes courage for someone to come face to face with Satan and the wrath of God. To hold back the Tide of Time and say to God, as Moses;  Exodus 20:18 (KJV)   And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

 

Exodus 20:21 (KJV)   And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

Then Moses became a Go Between;  Exodus 32:30-35 (KJV)   And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

 

[31] And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

 

[32] Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

 

[33] And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

 

[34] Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

 

[35] And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

 

Do we think that while under the Grace of God that we can do anything and get by with it?.

Ephes. 4:26 (KJV)   Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Yes God Mercy endureth forever; but too many of us take this as a license to do whatever we think and want to do and have been taught of those who are false teachers that we can go ahead like Adam and Eve and take of the forbidden fruit and still we can expect that God will not punish us and that he is Love and wouldn’t do anything against us. The bible teacher us to not be deceived:

Deut. 11:16 (KJV)   Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

 

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

 

1 Cor. 6:9 (KJV)   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,

 

1 Cor. 15:33 (KJV)   Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

 

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)   Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I believe the worst thing that could happen to an individual, is to be deceived, and to think that he hath eternal life and not to have it, only to hear God say: Depart from me: 

 

John 5:39 (KJV)   Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

 

James 2:19 (KJV)   Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

 

John 5:24 (KJV)   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 

1 John 3:14 (KJV)   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)   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.

 

 

1 Peter 2:11 (KJV)   Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

 

 

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

 

 

Rev. 18:14 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psalm 139:1-24 (KJV)   To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

 

[2] Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

 

[3] Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

 

[4] For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

 

[5] Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

 

[6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

 

[7] Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

 

[8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

 

[9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

 

[10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

 

[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

 

[12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

 

[13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

 

[14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

 

[15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

 

[16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

 

[17] How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

 

[18] If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

 

[19] Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

 

[20] For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

 

[21] Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

 

[22] I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

 

[23] Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

 

[24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Chapter 22 "GOD WITH US"; OR, THE ONE HUNDRED AND Thursday August 15, 2002

 

God is Love: No one is able to draw a picture of Love. you cannot really describe it; It is not seen by the Human Eye... That is why Jesus said that no one has seen the Father at any time. Save the Son.

John 6:46 (KJV)   Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

 

John 14:9 (KJV)   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?

Jesus was saying you cannot see the father ....or Love which is what God the Father is:

1 John 4:8 (KJV)   He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

 

1 John 4:16 (KJV)   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.

 

Jesus was the revealing of The Father: He was Love made manifest in the Flesh. Love came from the Father and took on Flesh to reveal to us what God the Father is and was and shall be for eternity. God in his existence came to this world and in the flesh became the Pattern of the Love that exists in the Father. Again you and I cannot draw a picture of love and neither can anyone except the Love of God change a situation or someone into a new creature. One can be the biggest worst kind of human and can with the Love of God be changed into a new creature and totally turn in a different direction and others can see the results of that Love that made the change in that person. On the other hand Satan can take what God brought into this world and mold and change it into a corruptible human being. A baby when it comes into this world not knowing good or Evil is so innocent and as soon as it is in the Presence of Evil it is Shaped into some form or the other. The same goes for an infant that is born into a home where God’s Love is taught and shown in the lives of those who are in the household. Satan took what God created and he corrupted it and mad that which was good into corruption. Adam and Eve was in the presence of God’s Love in the Garden of Eden and there the Voice of God who walked among the Garden expressed the Love of the Father as they basked in the Total Presence of Love. It was Love that Made the Garden what it was and it was Love that caused Adam and Eve to not see anything wrong with them being Naked...They were Clothed with a White Robe.....The white robe that Revelation describes is the Love of The Father....White stands for purity and Holliness that God the Father is..

Rev. 6:11 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 7:9 (KJV)   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;

 

Rev. 7:13 (KJV)   And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

Isaiah 6:1 (KJV)   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.

Isaiah could not have seen the Lord by anything else but the Holy Ghost revealing to him the Love of the Father.......When we have a move of the Holy Ghost and Gods presence is felt among the Church there is no evil seen ....you don’t look for any wrong in anyone and this is what was in Jesus Christ when he came to this sin torn world.....God had given to him All Power

That Power is the Love of The Father....and to make it known to this world that Power was the Holy Ghost that brought Jesus into the flesh and revealed the Father to us. While he walked among disciples and the people he did not judge anyone and he came not to Judge, but he came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Luke 19:10 (KJV)   For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

John 12:47 (KJV)   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.

Jesus mission was to save and redeem lost mankind back to the Father. The Power that he had was the power of forgiveness and to heal and deliver everyone who would call upon him and believe and receive. He said that he must go to the Father so that another comforter would come.....Man could not know the real genuine Love of The Father that Adam and Eve knew in the Garden of Eden. They were driven out from the presence of that Love, and into a cursed environment. What I am trying to say is that we can know what love is and feel and see the results of the power that it has in one's life...but we cannot fully describe the shape and to explain it is only to say when we have it in our lives we can see a change and the results of it. This is the way the Holy Ghost is. When He, The Holy Ghost comes to abide in our lives it fills us with the Love of God and this is the Mission of the Holy Ghost is to reveal to us what God the Father really is. It is hard to tell someone what the Holy Ghost is and one must have the experience to understand who He Is.  He is the revealer of the Father. He, the Holy Ghost shows us plainly the Father and his ways. Jesus was From the Father and came out from the Father to reveal to those in that time, when he walked among men and women, who and what the Father was and that is why he said that when you have seen me; you have seen the father.. In other words you have seen the Love of the Father. God so loved the World.......John 3:16 (KJV)   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.

 

1 John 4:11 (KJV)   Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

 

How do we know that we have been redeemed and saved and passed from death unto life. John 5:24 (KJV)   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 

1 John 3:14 (KJV)   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

 

I could go a step father and say as the scripture said in John 3.16 God so loved the World......Yes he love us before we ever knew him...Ephes. 2:4 (KJV)   But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

 

 

1 John 4:10 (KJV)   Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

 

Yes God did Love us before we ever loved Him and gave his son for us. But to know him we must have his Spirit in us..

Romans 8:9 (KJV)   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.

Can this be made any plainer than to say that you must have the spirit...or I will be more bold and say that if you are not born of the spirit and have not the spirit in you and walk in the spirit you are none of his. This separates the men from the boys as the saying goes. It was no surprise to hear the Apostle Paul say to those believers, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed. In other words, ye have believed and been baptized by the baptism of John unto repentance. but they like us today need more to keep us in the Garden environment , like that of Adam and Eve. or else are we driven out of the presence of the Love of God the Father and start walking carnally and satisfying the flesh instead of pleasing the Holy Ghost. We are sealed by the Holy Ghost .

Ephes. 4:30 (KJV)   And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

When we are grieved it is hard to know love to its fullness. Are we grieving the Spirit, of the Love of God... Is this why God with holds good things from us. As I said if we want to see miracles we need to get rid of our flesh and get hold of the Love of God.. Then out of obscurity will our light shine...Isaiah 29:18 (KJV)   And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

 

Isaiah 58:10 (KJV)   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 noonday:

 

Isaiah 59:9 (KJV)   Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

This is why we don’t see things happening in our lives: we walk not after the Spirit, Thus grieving the Love of The Father and causing him to hold back good things and if we would be like Christ, He Judged not but was about the Fathers business and was always doing the things that pleased the Father and not pleasing himself...does this tell us something?.. I think that we need to search the scriptures, for in them we think we have eternal life..John 5:39 (KJV)   Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

I looked up the word Testimony and in 73 verse's in the Old and New Testament it refers to the testimony. I can only say that to reveal God The Father to anyone and change their lives, There must be a Testimony and that Testimony is the Holy Ghost and The Fullness of the God head is the Testimony that is revealed in our lives through the Holy Ghost. Let me emphasize over and over that the Voice of The Lord that was there in the Garden with Adam and Eve was the Testimony of God....and that Testimony was the Holy Ghost and He reveal to us and to the World the express image of The Father when he, The Holy Ghost, brought into our view the Son of God. He revealed to Us The True Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Jesus was that True Light.

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 

1 John 2:8 (KJV)   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.

When we have the True Light in us, Darkness is Past, Gone, Gone. Walk in the Light: Isaiah 2:5 (KJV)   O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

 

 

1 John 1:7 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 21:24 (KJV)   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.

 

To those who desire to reject the True Light; Isaiah 50:11 (KJV)   Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

You can Kindle a Fire of your own and make a lot of Sparks and like the display of the fire works on the Holidays, men will say ah oh how beautiful they appear, but like the fireworks display they need to kindle them over and over to arouse a sensation in the lives of the World... But, when God kindles a Fire, The Holy Ghost Fire, the fireworks doesn’t fissile out. It Last for eternity, Jeremiah 32:14 (KJV)   Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

 

 

John 6:27 (KJV)   Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

 

 

2 Cor. 1:22 (KJV)   Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

 

 

Ephes. 1:13 (KJV)   In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

 

 

Ephes. 4:30 (KJV)   And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

 

This is what Saul met up with on the Road to Damascus. This is the Evidence of the Love of God that changed him and turned him into a vessel fit for the masters use. We can see why The Lord met Saul and demonstrated to those around him that what God’s Love can do and can be seen with the Human Eye the results of the Power of God’s Love. No we can’t draw a picture of Love, but we can clearly see the results of it in his fullness. Today still there are those who resist the Holy Ghost and fight it and go about grieving God’s heart and causing many to turn aside from the straight path, They themselves will not enter in and cause many to go To Hell with their pernicious ways. God help the Church world today to get down in prayer and fasting until the Holy Ghost falls upon and into the lives of everyone who believes in God. Then will we see great revivals, and i am not talking about revival of manmade displays of fireworks, but we will see the genuine demonstration of the Holy Ghost and a Filling of the Hearts of The Love of The Father.

 

Cain displayed the testimony of someone who wanted to display his own sparks and not that of Gods. His decision to offer his own selfness offering took him from the presence of god and placed him in a Void environment. Many today have taken the same road that Cain took and have found themselves in total rejection. My what a sad situation. Many do not feel the presence of God’s spirit and Love.

 

Genesis 4:16 (KJV)   And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

»Strong's Help Nowd, Hebrew 5113, Strong's Nowd,  node; the same as Hebrew 5112 (nowd); vagrancy; Nod, the land of Cain :- Nod.

»Strong's Help nowd, Hebrew 5112, Strong's nowd,  node; [only defective nod, node]; from Hebrew 5110 (nuwd); exile :- wandering. »Strong's Help nuwd, Hebrew 5110, Strong's nuwd,  nood; a primitive root; to nod, i.e. waver; figurative to wander, flee, disappear; also (from shaking the head in sympathy), to console, deplore, or (from tossing the head in scorn) taunt :- bemoan, flee, get, mourn, make to move, take pity, remove, shake, skip for joy, be sorry, vagabond, way, wandering.

 

 

 

I feel led to enter the lord’s prayer into this before we go into the study of the Revelation of God.

 

Matthew 6:9-15 (KJV)   After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

 

[10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

 

[11] Give us this day our daily bread.

 

[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 

[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 

[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

 

[15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Reminiscing through the years and going back in time to my being brought out of a life of childhood, I can think back to my childhood and recall some things that stand out in my mind and at this time I will share some things with the readers on how the Lord has ordained my life. Being born to Wade Chestney Medlin my father. My mother's name was Ellie Lee (pippin) Medlin. I was born in a place called the Loftis Holler, Located near Union Ridge, In Tennessee. My parents were farmers. Owned and operated a hill side farm with some bottom land. Our Home was made of Logs. I can vaguely remember myself nursing my mother's breast. so going back to that time and coming forward, there were times in my life as a young lad, I had some experiences that come to my mind.  I remember playing on the slate rock bottom of the creek that run beside the old barn on the farm, the rocks were covered with moss and made it a fun place to slide on. also i remember picking Huckleberries on top of the hill that was behind the log home. I can remember being put into automobile tires, where they came from I don’t know,  we did not know what a automobile looked like. anyway my brothers would put me inside of the tires and roll me from off the hill side and send me down the hill out into the bottom fields. I had to hang in the tire or I would be thrown out of it. I wonder sometime how I made it through life alive. Dad would go to Detroit Michigan and work in the winter to earn wages. he then would return back to the farm, where mom and the kids were to put out his crops.  I have been told that he and mom went to live in Detroit Michigan and while traveling to Tennessee to visit that mom’s brother sold all their furniture. I Suppose this made them return back to Tennessee to live. I do remember that i would  slip off with my cousin and play with him, His name was J C Flatt. My mom would come looking for me and when she found me she would give me a licking all the way home. I do remember that J C and I would swap shoes, in those days shoes were hard to come by. not many kids had shoes in the summer and would have to go barefooted and it took a long time to get your feet callused to where you could walk on any type of surface including stones, we would get what we called a stone bruise, that is where you would jump down from a high place and land on a rock and the foot, especially the hill of the foot would get bruised, this was a painful experience, the place would get pulse in under the skin and would have to be cut or pricked to let out the pulse. If we got cut  Mom or Dad would go to the fireplace and scrape some soot off the chimney and place it onto the cut and this would stop the bleeding. The soot was not contaminated since it had been from the fire and therefore it would work very well in helping the wound heal. when we would get the phenomena or the flu we were given castor oil and this would run everything out of your inner stomach that wasn’t supposed to be there. If you had what we called fleem, that is the terminology of that of people that in those days would find a word for anything and this would be common terminology among the common folks in that area. One terminology for cover that was used to cover on in the bed, would be called kiver, or another was when you wanted to get or bring something you would say; go fetch that. You learned to make your entertainment from whatever you had available, we would make what we called a truckle, the wheels  was made out of a black gum tree, no other tree would do for the wheels, since it had to be perfectly round and the wood would not weather crack, you would go to the woods and look for that perfect tree and cut it down and saw the wheels off with a crosscut saw, called a four cutter or two cutter, then the wheels were striped of the bark and then we would take the hand auger and bore a hole in the center and proceed to make the axles out of Hickory tree, since the Hickory tree was very durable and could stand a lot of hard punishment, we would cut a piece about four feet long and about four or five inches in  diameter and then would trim the ends with a knife and make the ends to fit in the holes in the wheels. we would drill a hole or use a nail to hold the wheels from coming off the ends. then we would take another piece of hickory and run it from the back axle to the front and drill a hole in the front axle, after we had made the center of the front axle flat on the top and bottom side, the hole was in both the hickory piece that came from the back axle to the front. the piece was split half way up between the back axle and the front axle and wrapped with wire and  pulled apart and attached to the axle near the wheels on the rear axle. then we would make a seat out of a plank and put a back onto it with another plank and support it to the back axle and the center piece that attached to the rear and front axle. then you were, with a little grease from the axle grease that was used on the farm wagon, you went up onto the hill and got onto it and rode down the hill and if everything was right you had a real experience. I need to tell you how we had a steering device, we took a smaller long piece of hickory and split it about halfway in the middle and tied it with wire and pulled the split ends apart and tied them to each side of the front axle and you steered the truckle with that stick, that stick had to be the right length or you could not steer it very well. Going back in time my father had married Jewel Birdwell  and had had a child by her, which is my half sister. Jewell died right after that my half sister was born. Dad then married my mom, and my mom raised my half sister and she will tell you that my mom is the only mother she ever knew.

Dad and mom moved from that farm after they lost it due to the great depression and they bought another farm of one hundred sixty acres. It was located in what was called the steam mill  holler. I can remember moving to that location. shortly after we moved to that location my mother was pregnant with child, she was canning something and it was in July, the stove she was canning on was hot along with the weather, she became sick and the child came as a still birth, I can remember she calling each of us children to the bedside and saying to us, “I don’t guess I will be living when you kids get up tomorrow; and for us to be good.” The next morning she had gone on to be with the Lord, The infant which was a boy, and my mom I know is in Heaven. My  mom had given birth to three other children that had died. Mom and the child was buried in the Medlin cemetery that is located on Shepherdsville road behind the Walter Medlin farm. The cemetery is located off the road about a half mile and one has to walk back to it. The farm is now owned by a Lawson. Mom had one child buried in a Cemetery located in Detroit Mich. and she has Three others buried in the Medlin cemetery. So all in all dad had ten children. We lived on the farm located in the steam mill holler until i was in the seventh grade and  we all went to Shady Grove Elementary, which was about two miles each way, we walked that distance each day, rain or shine, We were given an allowance that consisted of ten cents each, this would buy us a bologna and cheese sandwich and a large saucer size cookie and a soda pop; which was a RC cola. I can remember when bubble gum first came to our area. The kids in school went crazy over the bubble gum. Me and my sister and one brother took the thirty cent lunch money and spent it all on the gum, or that is what we thought we were getting, come to find out it wasn’t bubble gum; we were disappointed with that ordeal. I can remember our neighbor had a somewhat retarded girl, and my sister next to my age, would walk with her to and from school. It didn’t make any difference what the weather was, my sister would stay and see that she got to and from school safe. I have to commend my sister for her thoughtfulness. This same sister would take the leadership in the home and do the washing and cooking for all of us when she became nine years old. Up to that time the older boys would do the chores. Dad said that he was afraid to marry again, because he was afraid that the woman wouldn’t take care of the children. There were five at home at that time and my half sister evidently had married at that time, I believe she married when she became eighteen years of age. Her and her husband had a t model ford car and they had to crank it to start it. the crank was out in front at the bottom of the radiator. I can remember them coming to see us and at that time they had a girl just a little younger than I was, she and I would play together. She had a first cousin that would come with her most of the time and we would play and have a real good time. I remember on time they came and brought my niece only and we were playing in the car and my half sister baked a cake and it fell as she baked it and she brought the cake out to the car and threw it into the window of the T model ford and the cake went all over us and the car seat, but we did a good job of eating it.

I can remember that when I wore my clothes to the point that they needed to be washed I would pull my pants off and wash them in the stream of water that run in front of the home, then put them on wet and let them dry on me. My dad raised tobacco and where his crops were was in the fields back of the house up a holler and he had to pull  the tobacco from the fields with a sled that he made of consisting of two poles and some boards nailed to hold them together. He would put the Mules to the sled and away they would go with the sled. Our mules was named; Red and Ider. Red was stout and was used to pull most of the weight; Ider was a female and smaller and she could understand what you were saying. I could plow with her and not use any ropes to guide her; I would tell her to be careful and not to step onto any plants and tell her to get into the next row after we got to the end of the row and go back in the next row and she would look down with her head and watch where she would place her hoofs. she was a great friend and Red was so gentle that you could play in between his legs and he would not do anything to hurt you; Ider was the same way. they were like one of the family. This sounds kindly strange; but I can remember me flying and I was flying through the air and how and when I cannot tell. All Know that I did fly, might be like the Apostle Paul, which was caught up and saw revelations. he said that whether in the body or out of the body he cannot tell; this experience I cannot tell whether I was in the body or out of the body, all I know was that I did fly.

 

 

I suppose today we could say that there are those who have been saved and baptized in Water that have not so much heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

July 3 2002

 

Today we will deal with the thought of Darkness and Light:

 

Sitting on the deck the word or thought came unto me and the thought was about the Darkness that came over the World when Jesus was on the cross.

 

Matthew 27:45 (KJV)   Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

 

Mark 15:33 (KJV)   And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

 

Luke 23:44 (KJV)   And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

 

Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV)   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

We need to realize that the Beginning  refers to Christ Jesus;

 

 

John 1:1-5 (KJV)   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

 

[2] The same was in the beginning with God.

 

[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

 

[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

 

[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

 

Rev. 1:8 (KJV)   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.

 

Man was created in his Likeness: The likeness of God was not man himself; the likeness is Christ which is the express image of the Father:

 

Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)   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;

 

We want to think and believe that we are the likeness of the Father. and that when we were created that God took the Dust and made us to Look just like him. This would have been the same as a father having ten children and wanting them all to look just like him. I don’t think this is what God wanted at all. I believe he wanted us to have our own personality and to differ from him in many ways yet contain his characteristic. The saying is said that “I’m glad that everybody is not like me, if so everybody would have married my wife”. So to fairly say, we shouldn’t limit God to the saying, “we all look and act just like God the Father”. This is and was Satan’s mistake. Satan wanted to be like God.

 

Isaiah 14:14 (KJV)   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

Are we like Satan not satisfied as what has made us?. Can we be content to have received the vessel that God has made us?. Even the Stars differ in their Glory, one from the other. Is God limited to that of what we think?. 1

 

We sometimes think that God took us and as individuals made us so special that others need to measure up to our standards. after all God the Father made me what i am and i am just like him. Is this our attitude. the following verse sets us straight as to what we really are.

Cor. 4:7 (KJV)   For 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?

 

There was Satan being transformed into the flesh at the time that Jesus came and found in the Temple those Pharisee’s standing in the Gate of Heaven, not letting anyone else in unless they get their permission.

 

Matthew 23:4 (KJV)   For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

 

Matthew 23:13 (KJV)   But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

 

Matthew 23:15 (KJV)   Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

 

We wonder sometime why God tolerates us. and a few instances he didn’t tolerate. Like the time of Noah and the flood and the time of Moses when he was on the mountain receiving the Law. Man is shaped in iniquity:

 

Psalm 51:5 (KJV)   Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

 

At the time of Noah; The Darkness was upon the Deep. All mankind thoughts were evil. Today we have to listen to the evil minds of those whom we work with. Like lot we are vexed and our souls are surrounded with evil.

Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)   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.

 

At the time of Christ, man was again hanging in the balances. Malachi  prophesied :

 

 

Malachi 4:6  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

The curse of God was standing at the door ready to come upon mankind once again; Evil was set up.

 

Malachi 3:15 (KJV)   And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

 

Has the Grace of God become the tool for the Devil to set himself up and to corrupt the minds of mankind. Do we really think that we can sin and do the most horrific acts against God and still go on. It seems that is the case. For four hundred years from the prophesy of Malachi to the time of Christ, mankind with the help of Satan had set himself up in the Temple of God.

We are the temple of God.

 

1 Cor. 3:16 (KJV)   Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

 

Daniel 8:23 (KJV)   And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

 

Why do we look to Jerusalem in the mid east and wait for the beast to set himself up in the Temple that will be erected of Stone and earthly materials.

Mark 14:58 (KJV)   We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

 

Acts 7:48 (KJV)   Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

 

Acts 17:24 (KJV)   God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

 

Are you looking for a sign.

 

Matthew 16:4 (KJV)   A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

 

Look no farther than your Heart. Have you received the Mark Of The Beast?. Have you gone in the way of Cain?.

 

Jude 1:11 (KJV)   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.

 

The mark of the Beast has been ever since Cain. God set a mark on Cain and he Departed from the Face of God.

 

Genesis 4:15 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 13:18 (KJV)   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.

 

Cain was the first murderer and was a liar and the father of all those seed of Satan and he was there when Jesus was walking among men.

 

John 8:44 (KJV)   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 3:8 (KJV)   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 3:12 (KJV)   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.

 

The seed of Satan shall never be renown.

Isaiah 1:4 (KJV)   Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

 

 

Isaiah 14:20 (KJV)   Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

 

Yes the Pharisee's were and are today the seed of Abraham. Remember that Abraham had a son by Hagar the bond woman. This was not the seed of the promise. Sarah could not wait on the lord since she looked on the outward appearance. she was past age to even have a child and she was childless and after all she had been told that she would have a seed and that seed would be the deliver and the blessing upon all people.

She went against the oracles of God and got her handmaid and took her to her husband and said go into her that I may have a child.

 

Genesis 16:1 (KJV)   Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

 

After the child was born and Hagar began to prick at Sarah and I can hear her now. you old woman where is your kid. This is my baby. Sarah despised her and told Abraham to kick her out of the house.

 

Genesis 21:10 (KJV)   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.

 

Yes they were the children of Abraham, but not the seed of promise. In Isaac was to come the seed which was Jesus Christ. God brought into this world a seed and delivered all those who by faith sought a country whose builder and maker is God. It was of the promise and not of the flesh as we think that God delivered his son to this sin torn world to redeem mankind back to him. Ishmael could have followed after God and turned to serve just like all mankind can repent and turn from their unrighteousness and can have eternal life through Jesus Christ.  Why then do not they call upon him? The answer is this:

John 3:19 (KJV)   And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

When John the baptist came preaching there came multitudes out to hear what he had to say. The no doubt had heard that the prophet has come that everyone has been talking about. They thought this was the prophet Elijah and was no doubt scared to death. hey this is what Malachi prophesied and this is the end of the world. After all if we don’t change God is going to smite us with a curse. John told them to bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

Matthew 3:8 (KJV)   Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

 

We don’t run to God because that we have done our thing and neglect so great  a salvation and then get scared to death and decide to Go to God and after the scare is over with go back to our old ways.

We are sheep. and we hear the Voice of The lord. Jesus said:

 

John 10:27 (KJV)   My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

 

Have they not Heard?:

Romans 10:18 (KJV)   But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

 

The voice of God has been talking to those who will listen and follow the voice of God every since Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden. The problem is that man has turned a deaf ear to the Voice of God and turned to the Voice of Satan just like Eve when she heard him say:

 

Genesis 3:5 (KJV)   For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John 8:37 (KJV)   I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genesis 4:13 (KJV)   And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 5:20 (KJV)   Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

 

 

   

 

 

Luke 1:17 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 

[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

 

[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

 

[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 

When the earth was created there was at that time no light or any form: The mass of material at that time did not have a form. When we pour concrete the mass of mixture consisting of the materials has to be mixed together in a liquid type of mass. Then when we want to make some type of structure out of it the contractor or builder will  form a shape and then put the mass materials into the form and as it sets for hours the mass will harden and take on the design of that that the builder wants to exist. We all know that the design and blueprints are the guidelines for the final shape of the structure to be formed.

After the structure is formed and the forms is removed there is there in front of us the existence of a structure of that which was designed from the blueprints. The world at that time did not make, according to man’s understanding, any sense.

God took that mass and Spoke the Word, The Word of God is Faith, Light, Life, so the world in the mass begin to take on a new era. It, up to the time that God Spoke, not suited for habitation. There had to be a Division. When there is no Light there is no Existence of Life. Liquid mass and Solid mass had to be divided. Darkness and Light had to be divided. When God divided these then was the Earth suitable for The existence of those things that took on a living order. The Earth had its order of existence and so did all those living things that the earth was to home to. When God took of the dust of the earth and created a man, he then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. As we know that John said;

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

That light that lit the world and divided the night from day, was the sun. The life of the earth comes from the sun; for without it the earth would not grow anything and no life as we know it would exist.

The light that man needed was the Word of God. This is the True Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world as John wrote of.

 

The as i said is a habitation for living creature and all of nature. consisting of the trees and animals and all moving creatures. The world had a special place in it prepared by God for his prize creation. This place was a Garden, God called it the Garden of Eden. Which means Paradise. Everyone that dwells on the Earth, or has occupied the Earth wants, or has sought a paradise environment to live in. The thing that most Humans don’t realize is that the paradise that they seek for cannot be found made of the Earth. The Garden that was prepared; Adam and Eve was placed in this paradise separate from that of all those creatures that was created. This clearly reveals to us, who God created in his Image. ( The Image of His was His Son Jesus). We were created in Him. and in him all things exists.

 

Ephes. 3:9 (KJV)   And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

 

Col. 1:16-17 (KJV)   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:

 

[17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

 

 

Hebrews 1:3 (KJV)   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;

 

There in the Garden was there the Tree of Life. That Tree was Jesus Christ.

He has been there from the beginning. In fact he is the Beginning. He was that Light that Divided the Darkness that mankind  has had hanging over his soul from the time that Satan Deceived Adam and Eve. In Essence there was Darkness over mankind and that Darkness still exists today for those who choose to Take of the Forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve took off. The Pharisee’s was told by Jesus that they were the children of the fathers that had rejected Gods Light.

 

John 8:44 (KJV)   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.

 

They could tell you and I what to do and Jesus said; Matthew 15:9 (KJV)   But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 

Matthew 23:5 (KJV)   But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

 

 

John 16:3 (KJV)   And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

 

When Jesus hang on the Cross there once again was Darkness over the whole Earth and the End of mankind was imminent. All things had come to the time that, unless change were to take place, mankind was to be destroyed as he had done in the flood with Noah and his Family. Mankind had chosen to make an agreement with Hell:

Isaiah 28:18 (KJV)   And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Satan had possessed the Kingdom of this Earth and God’s creation was in jeopardy; man once again had come to the final decision and had made  the wrong choices. But thanks to God there were those who looked for a city whose builder and maker was God:

 

 

Hebrews 11:10 (KJV)   For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

 

God had left a seed in this sin torn world and that seed was there under the tutor of the Law and commandants and ordinances, but those could not deliver those who were occupied thereby;

 

Ephes. 2:15 (KJV)   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;

 

Col. 2:14 (KJV)   Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

 

Hebrews 9:10 (KJV)   Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

 

Satan still blinds the minds of those who are occupied with ordinances and commandants.

Jesus hanged there on the cross and Darkness was again over the Earth and There needed to be a Light that could Deliver mankind out of The Darkness of this World. In essence the World was Void and without Form. Mankind had to enter into light in order to continue to live. Man with all the commandants and ordinances, was in a void state. In order for man to Enter into Light,  there needed, and had to be a Light given to mankind that would separate him from the darkness of sin and bondage that was hanging over the whole world. In one sense it was like the time of the creation, when the Earth was Void and darkness was upon the face of the Deep.  The deep being the mass of people who had no hope unless there would be a light brought into this world. Jesus was that light that was there ever since the beginning of the existence of mankind. As the Lord was on the Cross the darkness covered the earth for Three Hours and when he said it is Finished there came the Light to Mankind once again and Darkness could not comprehend it:

Luke 22:53 (KJV)   When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

The powers of darkness had come to the final hour. It had held mankind captive for century's. Jesus was that light that God proclaimed from the creation of the world.

 

John 8:12 (KJV)   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 9:5 (KJV)   As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

 

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 

Was there Darkness in the Garden of Eden?. I can’t imagine there being any  darkness there at all. Did God create Adam and Eve to live forever? These are questions that needs to be answered. We know that Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord walking: Now think about this. How can one hear a voice walking. In order to hear someone walking there must have been a person there. Who was this person?. It was certainly not the Father walking in the Garden, Or was it?. Was  Adam and Eve naked and did not know it? or did they not know any shame?.

Genesis 2:25 (KJV)   And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Sin had not been committed at this time. They had no sin in their lives at this point of time; which brings up the question; was they in a time zone or controlled by time itself? When did time start?. Was they wearing any  clothes? if not did The Lord look upon them both when they were naked?. When does nakedness become sin. Sin caused them to hide among the trees. What brought about guilt in their lives?. Was guilt created into their lives when they themselves were created? There is certainly a lot of questions to be answered  here and do we have the right to know the answers or do we zip our lips and leave it along? Someone said, If God wanted us to know the answers he would have written it in the Bible. There is a lot of answers in the Bible that is for us to know what God had to say and a lot of those answers are hidden to certain ones because of Satan and his devices to overthrow God’s plan to redeem mankind back to God. Jesus had commanded his disciples at times not to tell anyone certain things.

Mark 9:9 (KJV)   And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

This was when Moses and  Elijah was seen with Jesus on the mount of Transfiguration.

Let me clear one thing up at this time. Satan has a Seed just like God has a  Seed.

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)   And 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.

Isaiah 14:20 (KJV)   Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of

evildoers shall never be renowned.

 

How does Satan’s Seed (the evil doers) get into the flesh. The same way that God comes into the flesh. By choice: Joshua 24:15 (KJV)   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.

 

Eve made a choice in the Garden and took of the forbidden fruit; not only did she make the choice to take of it. she made another choice and gave it to her husband. Why did not Adam just say no? Why do people today take of the forbidden fruit of this world; then after they take of it; they are not satisfied until they give it to others, They go to a great deal of trouble to get another to die in their sins also. It’s almost like; if I go to hell you might as well go with me, or I will take as many with  me as I can. when we think of it, we really are ready and willing to do all we can to honor Satan and he can depend on us for about anything that he wants to accomplish.

Let's look at the era of the taking of the forbidden fruit and get a better understanding of what happened. Adam was certainly a handsome man and Eve must have been and was one would call a knock out. Now think about it. Here they are with each other in a perfect climate and surrounding and was protected by the Voice of God in their presence and had what one would say; “had life made” They were where they were not affected by sickness and felt great in perfect health; They had each other to look at and to enjoy. They enjoyed each other’s presence. Now does this tell us something. with all that was it that they were not satisfied and wanted to be greater and have more. Is this today what man is doing? he has all of Gods promises and all of them is true and comes to pass. We have the Voice of God walking with us and we too can hear him walking in the cool of the day. There is always one more thing that we want. No matter what we have we want more. This is where Satan comes onto the scene and is always ready to promise us more. the only thing that he can give us is more trouble and many heart aches. He was there in the Garden. He had a Voice too. Today he is still there talking to each of us and is hard at work trying to get us to listen to his voice.

1 John 4:1 (KJV)   Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 Cor. 14:10 (KJV)   There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

Paul encountered the voice of Satan. He wanted to get it out of his flesh and prayed three times for God to rid it. God did not rid it but gave him Grace enough to overcome it and put it to silence when needed be

 

2 Cor. 12:7 (KJV)   And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

Did Adam and eve have enough Grace to overcome the voice talking to them? Yes they had the same Grace that Paul did. Did they have the voice in their flesh? How did he talk to them. He was called a beast, a serpent.

Genesis 3:1-2 (KJV)   Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 

[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 

Genesis 3:4 (KJV)   And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Here the serpent and the woman are having a conversation with each other. Why would she even give him the time of day as some say? We are not to give place to the Devil.

Ephes. 4:27 (KJV)   Neither give place to the devil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It would have tipped Satan and his Ministers as to what Christ was about to accomplish.

1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke 1:79 (KJV)   To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

 

 

Micah 7:8 (KJV)   Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

 

 

Ezekiel 32:8 (KJV)   All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God.

 

 

Isaiah 60:2 (KJV)   For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

 

 

Isaiah 59:9 (KJV)   Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

 

 

Isaiah 42:16 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Luke 1:79 (KJV)   To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

 

 

John 3:19 (KJV)   And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 

 

John 8:12 (KJV)   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 12:35 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Acts 26:18 (KJV)   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.

 

 

2 Cor. 4:6 (KJV)   For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

 

 

Ephes. 5:8 (KJV)   For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

 

 

Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)   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.

 

 

1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)   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:

 

 

1 John 1:5-6 (KJV)   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.

 

[6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

 

 

1 John 2:8-9 (KJV)   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.

 

[9] He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

 

1 John 2:11 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Rev. 16:10 (KJV)   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,

 

 

John 1:5 (KJV)   And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

 

These scripture references clearly declare to us that the Light of God once again  has shined and that Darkness is divided from the light and all those who walk in Darkness cannot live with him and will be placed into outer darkness and will cease to exist in the Light. What a horrific thought to think that we would trade the True Light for the Darkness and Pain that those who reject the True light will be placed in for their final destination.

 

Rev. 16:10 (KJV)   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,

 

Not only did God separate The Darkness from Light in the Beginning, He also separated the Darkness from the True light at the Cross, and , once in the End he will separate the Darkness and all those who desire to walk after the rudiments of this world.

You and I have the same choice that Adam and Eve did and we too can make the choice to take of the forbidden fruit, or we can take of the Tree of Life and live forever in the light. Revelation describes it this way;

 

Rev. 22:5 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 21:23 (KJV)   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.

 

Isaiah 30:26 (KJV)   Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

 

On the Day of Pentecost; God Poured Out Of His Spirit upon those who had looked for that True light and when they were filled with the Holy Ghost God fulfilled his promise that had been promised by Joel the Prophet;

 

 Acts 2:16 (KJV)   But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

 

God once again Spoke to his children and gave them Gifts and now they and we have the fellowship that was meant to have with God when Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden. He spoke to Adam and Eve and the Voice of the Lord was there in the Garden and man was walking in the True Light that ligheth every man that cometh into the world.

 

Why was these disciples found in Act 19; ignorant to the Holy Ghost?. They are like a lot of mankind today, the just simply haven’t been told whether there be any Holy Ghost. Satan’s False teachers are once again standing with their long robes and holding the traditions of man, placing bondage upon them and denying them of the true Light.

 

Yes the Salvation of God is a Gift, and so is the Holy Ghost, The Holy Ghost is  the evidence of the Light of God working in our lives, the reason most don’t want to receive it is simply, they will have to separate the darkness that they love from the light of the Lord in their lives. The world will not receive you and will separate themselves from you and John said:

 

1 John 3:13 (KJV)   Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

 

We are commanded to come out from among the world:

 

2 Cor. 6:17 (KJV)   Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

 

Numbers 16:21 (KJV)   Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

The Spirit of the Lord has revealed to me that when Job was tried by Satan there were more to the incident than that of Satan trying to get Job to deny the Lord. Job had children and these children were partying and drinking and the word said:

Job 1:1-22 (KJV)   There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

 

Job feared God and did the things that pleased God. This is what made Satan so angry,

 2 Peter 2:10 (KJV)   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.

 

Satan came before God as the Sons of God came: There is a question as to who these Sons of God were. Some say that these were the Angles of God. Paul had written about Satan being an Angle of Light. for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

 

This is what Satan was doing when he came before God; he was Seeking and occasion, The definition of  Occasion is to seek and opportunity. He wanted an opportunity to find some fault or to stir up trouble. Satan is not satisfied with things going in the right direction. Satan will cause division and keep everything in an uproar. This is his way of getting Humans to Sin without thinking before they act. We must realize that Satan is a transforming light that can deceive the very elect if possible.

 Matthew 24:24 (KJV)   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.

 

We live in a time that one would think that the Grace of God has become the enemy of the Human race. Now that is a big statement; let me explain what I mean by that. God Grace is sufficient and it endures forever.

 

2 Cor. 12:9 (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.

 

God had made a hedge around Job and while he was being blessed and his wealth had been multiplied, He also had Children who was partying and drinking and no doubt was having sexual relations with their sisters while Job was making offerings to God for them. Job had wealth and I believe his sons and daughters were taking their dad’s wealth that God had given to Job for being an upright man and was throwing a big patty and having all the friends of theirs over and really having a great time and not even giving any respect to their parents. We are living in a time now like it was in the days of Job. Children are disobedient unruly and not afraid to speak evil of dignities, they are self willed and like to party and do all the things that the flesh desires. Like it was in Job’s time, God’s grace was sufficient and  was enduring. As Job went to the Alter and prayed before God, he prayed for the sins that his children might have committed. Job did not know what was going on at these party’s that his children were having, They did not want an adult chaperone at the party like the young teenagers today don’t want. Job was not invited to the party. He was too busy with doing the things that God wanted him to do. I can hear the friends of those children of Job’s saying; Ah don’t pay no mind to that old man of yours, just have a good time and put the tab onto his MasterCard. I get what the Spirit was telling me about this, Satan had watched this going on and had an occasion to get even with God and wanted to get his revenge on God. He came boldly before God thinking that he will take down God by taking down one of the most Admired men of God and as the scripture said, there was none like him in the east. this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

 

Now Satan cannot allow God’s people to be the greatest; he has to be the chief of everything.  He delighted in approaching God.

 

Matthew 15:8 (KJV)   This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

 

God had more in mind than what we can understand with this trial. God just doesn’t allow a man of God to be put through a situation like this without a deeper purpose. I think that Job’s children had come to the full and they had mocked their father and mother and did not have any respect for them and for God. They disregarded the ways of God when they disregarded the ways of their parents. They were partying right under and in the house of their parents with no regard to what Job had taught them from a youth up. They had totally disgraced Job in all his ways. I believe when Satan come before God that this had come to a full on the children’s part and God was ready to judge the matter; Today children that have been taught by parents and have been raised in a God like environment and decide to go out into this world and defy everything that they have been taught and not only defy it, they become so brazen about it that they boost in it; they are literally shaking their fist in the face of God.

 

Psalm 94:4 (KJV)   How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

 

 

Isaiah 10:15 (KJV)   Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

 

Yes Job paid a price just like Jesus paid a High price. When the trial was over Job had received more than before. Jesus Received more, many , many more. Just as those Jews that rejected the Son of God there in Jerusalem  and  rejected his salvation, these children of Job’s had done the same thing by rejecting the righteousness of their Parents. The ax fell upon them swiftly and the loss was great. The ax fell on the Jews swiftly and those children that had been tutored all though the Laws of God and could not open their eyes to see the truth. they wanted to see miracles and great things did happen in their mist and God went to the extremes to care and supply their every want. They to like Job’s children shook their fist in the face of God when they chose a murder instead of Jesus. The hardest thing to accept is to be rejected. especially by living for God in a Holy manner, The world will hate those who are Gods ordained, note I said, God ordained, not ordained by the flesh. I Guess we too have to bear the reproach of those who are disobedient. Let me warn those who are unruly, You may think like Job’s children that you can under the Grace of God do anything and get away with it and no one will and can do anything about it,  Let me assure you that do not frustrate the Grace of God.

Galatians 2:21 (KJV)   I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

 

2 Peter 2:3 (KJV)   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.

We are judged already . Jude 1:15 (KJV)   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.

 

 

2 Peter 3:7 (KJV)   But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

 

 

2 Peter 2:3-4 (KJV)   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.

 

[4] 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;

 

 

1 Peter 4:17 (KJV)   For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

 

 

James 2:13 (KJV)   For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

 

 

1 Tim. 5:24 (KJV)   Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

 

 

2 Cor. 5:10 (KJV)   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

 

 

Romans 2:5 (KJV)   But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

 

 

Romans 2:2-3 (KJV)   But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

 

[3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

 

 

Romans 1:32 (KJV)   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.

 

 

John 16:11 (KJV)   Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

 

 

John 16:8 (KJV)   And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

 

 

John 12:31 (KJV)   Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

 

 

John 9:39 (KJV)   And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

Matthew 12:41-42 (KJV)   The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

Malachi 2:17 (KJV)   Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

Satan’s Ministers have taken delight in coming before God and transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. Satan has his false teachers ,ministers and Prophets. We are seeing this around the world today as they stand boldly and come out of the dark regions of the Earth.

 

Daniel 8:23 (KJV)   And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

 

 

Ezekiel 32:7-8 (KJV)   And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

 

[8] All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God.

 

 

Ezekiel 8:12 (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.

 

 

Isaiah 29:15 (KJV)   Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

 

 

Job 24:16 (KJV)   In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

 

 

Genesis 15:17 (KJV)   And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

 

 

 

 

2 Cor. 11:12-15 (KJV)   But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

 

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

 

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

 

[15] 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] And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

 

[3] His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

 

[4] And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

 

[5] And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

 

[6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

 

[7] And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

 

[8] And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

 

[9] Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

 

[10] Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

 

[11] But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

[12] And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

 

[13] And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

 

[14] And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

 

[15] And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

 

[16] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

 

[17] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

 

[18] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

 

[19] And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

 

[20] Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

 

[21] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

 

[22] In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

 

 

Job 2:1-13 (KJV)   Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

 

[2] And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

 

[3] And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that heareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdout fast his integrity, although thou moves me against him, to destroy him without cause.

 

[4] And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

 

[5] But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

 

[6] And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

 

[7] So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

 

[8] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

 

[9] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

 

[10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

 

[11] Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

 

[12] And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

 

[13] So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

 

 

 

 

There is a multitude of people that are of the number that have not separated themselves from the Darkness.

 

Matthew 7:13 (KJV)   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:

 

We live in a day that everything, it seems, is acceptable and evil is on the rise. We live in a time of a falling away;

2 Thes. 2:3 (KJV)   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 

Evil is set up and those who are Good are evil spoken of ;

 

1 Peter 4:14 (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.

Mankind that follows the way of Darkness has always wanted to hear the words that are pleasant to their ears.

1 Cor. 2:13 (KJV)   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 Cor. 3:1 (KJV)   And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

 

 

1 Cor. 14:6 (KJV)   Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

[29] Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

 

 

1 Cor. 14:39 (KJV)   Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

 

 

2 Cor. 2:17 (KJV)   For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

 

 

2 Peter 2:18 (KJV)   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.

 

 

1 John 4:5 (KJV)   They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

 

 

Jude 1:10 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Rev. 13:15 (KJV)   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.

 

Satan is hard at work, doing everything that he can to destroy each and everyone he can and we need to be on guard always. He is like a roaring loin seeking whom he may devour.

 

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)   Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

 

Satan knows that a Holy Ghost filled Believer is Death to Him and he cannot have access to God anymore and he don’t want you and i to have that access also. As long as the believer is not filled with the Holy Ghost he knows that he can do the most damage and  he  will not worry too much about the soul that will reject the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Thursday July 11, 2oo2

Today we will deal with the Soul and The Sprit of Man:  I was upon my bed and the Spirit revealed to me the understanding of the soul, body and spirit; When The Lord made Adam he took him from the dust of the Earth. He then breathed into his nostrils: Adam became a living Soul. Let’s stop and think about this: Our body was taken out of the Earth, It could do nothing of itself. Our body cannot do anything without Life. We know that the blood is the life of the body:

 Deut. 12:23 (KJV)   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.

 

Genesis 2:7 (KJV)   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.

 

Up until God breathed into his nostrils Adam’s body was not moving and was not alive. Our Soul is given to us and makes choices. The Spirit of God has been in man since Adam; The  soul chooses whether the body will Follow after God or will follow after Satan. Adam and Eve became a living Soul after God breathed into his nostrils. The soul that sins shall die:

 

Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV)   Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

 

What the bible is saying that if the soul chooses Satan and his ways and rejects God’s ways it shall Die. This is what happened to Adam and Eve.

When Adam and Eve was driven out of the Garden they, their soul choose  to follow Satan and listen to his Voice instead of the Voice of God. There is a messenger of Satan in our members that was there ever since Adam and Eve sinned and death passed upon all of mankind. What does the life of mankind consist of. The body. The soul and The Spirit. these three agree  in one, Either they will agree together with the spirit of God or they will agree with the spirit of Satan. Jesus said all power was given to him while he walked among men. This power was to forgive men and women their trespasses. making them eligible to dwell in the presence of God through the Holy Ghost. Satan did not and has not this power, or authority, He cannot forgive and cannot be forgiven. The Angles do not have the power to forgive or to be forgiven, they must stay in line with God or they are out and gone from the presence of God, reserved in chains of darkness.

 

 2 Peter 2:4 (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;

 

This is what the ministers of Satan was saying, when they heard Jesus forgive sins. Satan wants to hold mankind under the bondage of that where he must go through man to get approval and that flesh has the power to forgive sins, and if flesh does not forgive you will be excommunicated. Only  Jesus has the power to forgive sins which mankind has sinned against the Father. We can and must forgive each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John 4:6 (KJV)   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.

 

John 19:14 (KJV)   And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

 

Acts 10:9 (KJV)   On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is hard to believe that these disciples, had not so much as heard whether there was a Holy ghost. After all, prior to this, on the day of Pentecost, that the outpouring was such a great exclamation, that there were at Jerusalem devout men from every nation.

No doubt they seeing with their eyes, hearing all this commotion, They went back to their own country, where they were from, and told of this great outpouring. Do you suppose that they, like a lot of people today, did not believe, and thought this outpouring was not of God. That it was of man.

Today we have the move of the Spirit in our lives and in  our Churches. The Spirit is quieted to the point that it is not made known to those whom would receive it.

 

All through the Bible; We read of the Voice of The Lord  and we have the printed pages containing the written word as we know it; The Bible, or the book of Books. In it all mankind can read of the words of God written in  text. We are told to search the Scriptures; for in them you think that you have eternal life.

 

 John 5:39 (KJV)   Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 

We must realize that to have eternal life; that there are certain conditions that has to be met. First of all: we must come to God.

 

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

 

How can we come to God?. No man, woman or child, can come to God; except the Spirit draw him, or her.

 

John 6:44 (KJV)   No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

 

John 6:65 (KJV)   And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

 

What if they have not Heard; The word of God has said;

 

Genesis 3:8 (KJV)   And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

 

From the time of the Garden of Eden, the Voice of  The Lord has been Heard. Romans 10:18 (KJV)   But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

 

 

Romans 1:20 (KJV)   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:

 

 

Even we, or, all mankind can look at the things that are made visible and see the Creator. There were those certain disciples that had not heard whether there be an Holy Ghost. They had been drawn to God by the drawing of the Spirit of God. They were there at the place not by accident but by the drawing of the Spirit of God. Someone had told them about God and had told them that they needed to be saved and have their sins forgiven. They had recognized that they were lost in sin and there was a remission of sins that had or was provided for them. They wanted a hope beyond this life as they knew it. They like all of us. who are chosen from the foundation of the World, have come to the place that we realize that in order to escape this sin torn world; we need redemption from our sins.

 

Ephes. 1:5 (KJV)   Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

 

Ephes. 1:11 (KJV)   In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

 

Ephes. 1:4 (KJV)   According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

 

Paul had been chosen to not only Hear the Voice of the Lord, but to See Him. We are chosen to hear the Voice of the Lord. and We will also see him face to face.

 1 Cor. 13:12 (KJV)   For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

Acts 22:14 (KJV)   And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

 

Those who are the seed of God hath been foreordained from the foundation of the World. 1 Peter 1:20 (KJV)   Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

 

 

Christ was foreordained from the foundation of the world and we were foreordained in him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zech. 6:1-13 (KJV)   And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

 

[2] In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;

 

[3] And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.

 

[4] Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?

 

[5] And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

 

[6] The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.

 

[7] And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

 

[8] Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

 

[9] And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

 

[10] Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;

 

[11] Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;

 

[12] And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:

 

[13] Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

 

 

Zech. 6:8 (KJV)   Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

 

Jeremiah 6:22 (KJV)   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.

 

Jeremiah 10:22 (KJV)   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.

 

Jeremiah 23:8 (KJV)   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.

 

Jeremiah 31:8 (KJV)   Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

 

Jeremiah 46:10 (KJV)   For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

 

Jeremiah 50:9 (KJV)   For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

 

After four hundred years from Malachi to the Annunciation of The birth of the Jesus Christ, it seemed to have a silent impact on society as we know it. There were no vision or Prophecy's  given as we know of. There were men who made a attempt to write what their mind wanted, but these writhing were not included in the Books of the Bible and did have no spiritual value. It seems that God in his own good time comes when those who least expect. This is today a time when we know that men and women everywhere are saying. Where is his coming?.

2 Peter 3:4 (KJV)   And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

 

I guess you can say; that man just don’t believe. Without faith it is impossible to please God:

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

 

Faith cometh by hearing: Romans 10:17 (KJV)   So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

 

Most have dulled their hearing and closed their eyes:

 

Ezekiel 12:2 (KJV)   Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

 

When Christ came, This was the state of mankind: He had religion and he was bound by traditions of the elders and they had choked out The Spirit and there was no room for God to work in their lives. They were so involved in the matters of this world that when Christ was born, there was no room for him. He was birthed in the Stables with the Animals. When he died there still was no room for him. They took him outside the camp on old Golgotha and crucified him where they took the entrails of the animals whom they offered on the alters.

Yes i can see why they, The certain disciples had not heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Are we today in the Same situation?. Our churches are in turmoil and the ones who are not, have they turned to man and looked for the miracles just like when Jesus was walking among them and said: John 12:37 (KJV)   But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

 

 

John 6:26 (KJV)   Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

 

 

Numbers 14:22 (KJV)   Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

 

 

Rev. 13:14 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 16:14 (KJV)   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.

 

Rev. 19:20 (KJV)   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.

 

The sin of today is not the sins of the flesh. But that they do not Hear The Voice of God. That Voice of God  is: The Holy Ghost.

 

Blasphemy is the only sin that cannot be forgiven: 2 Kings 19:3 (KJV)   And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

 

Isaiah 37:3 (KJV)   And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

 

Matthew 12:31 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Mark 7:22 (KJV)   Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

 

 

Col. 3:8 (KJV)   But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

 

 

Rev. 2:9 (KJV)   I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

 

 

Rev. 17:3 (KJV)   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.

 

Clearly the most degrading thing that a person can do is Blaspheme the Holy Ghost. Not accepting or believing and Not Hearing the Voice of God and walking in the Spirit. You want to get God Angry?, Just disregard the Holy Ghost and you are in Big trouble. sure his mercy is longsuffering and his patience is longsuffering.

2 Peter 2:3 (KJV)   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.

 

You might think that you will escape the Judgment of God: Matthew 23:33 (KJV)   Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

 

 

Romans 2:3 (KJV)   And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

 

No; no one will escape the judgment of God: 2 Cor. 5:10 (KJV)   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The spirit has been since the beginning of  the creation; It has brought life to everyone that will receive it by FAITH. Is it possible to have Salvation without it? Some preach that you are not saved unless you have the baptism of the Holy Ghost. We know that the spirit of God has been with man every since Adam was taken out of the dust of the earth. God breathed into his nostrils and he then become a living soul, and began to walk. Adam was placed into the Garden of Eden; their God visited, and talked with him each day. The spirit of God has been with man every since that time;

In the Garden he the Holy spirit was the voice of God that spoke to Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. The Holy Spirit is God in Spirit form. We can’t see what form it has; because the spirit is not of this world.

The bible has said that no man has seen God at anytime. Could we conclude that this meant that Adam had not seen God; This is what the Bible tells us. The word is what  spoke to Adam. It doesn’t say that God made himself visible to Adam, It said that  The Lord talked with Adam and Even in the cool of the day. The following verse states:

 

John 1:18 (KJV) No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

 

The question is; Did Adam see God in the Garden? God did talk to him in the cool of the day.

 

Genesis 3:8 (KJV) And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

We can say: Adam and Eve did not see God Face to Face. They heard the voice of the Lord God: Why would not God reveal himself to him in person? This brings up the question; Was God,

or, Did God have a human form?

Genesis 6:3 (KJV) 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.

 

When Christ arose from the dead, He appeared by the Sea, and said these words to them:

 Luke 24:40-50 and when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.

 

[41] And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

 

[42] And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

 

[43] And he took it, and did eat before them.

 

[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

 

[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

 

[46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

 

[47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

 

[48] And ye are witnesses of these things.

 

[49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

 

[50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

 

Let us ponder on the Idea that Adam and Eve, there in the Garden, had been blessed by God and told to Replenish the Earth;

Genesis 1:28 (KJV)   And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 

 

Giving us the Hint that the Earth had been occupied before Adam and Eve Existed.

 

Let’s look closely to what was to take place with Adam and Eve. God being the person that he Is and we know that it is his good pleasure to give good gifts unto us;

 

Matthew 7:11 (KJV)   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?

 

Luke 11:13 (KJV)   If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

 

God had created all things by Christ and given to him all things for his pleasure and what he wanted most of all; He wanted to share his nature and love. He had the Host of Angles, Evidently this was not what he was satisfied with, and he wanted to have a family to share his Joy with. Just like us, We, If we can’t have a family to share with we are lonely and void. The world was void and darkness was upon the face of the deep, And god said let there be light.

Genesis 1:3 (KJV)   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

 The earth rang out with Joy; Out of Darkness came forth light.

 

That light was the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 

Had Adam and Eve went straight to the Tree of life, That Tree of Life that was there in the Garden. That Tree was JESUS CHRIST. Genesis 3:22 (KJV)   And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:

 

 

 Had they took of Him, of that tree, they would have lived forever and the body that was taken from the dust of this earth would at that time be Glorified: They would not have Replenished the Earth. You must realize that in Heaven there will be no marrying. Now think about this for a moment; Adam and eve was taken from the earth. They did not have the body, that we are to receive in the resurrection, like the one mention earlier. You can see how God was Replenishing the Earth. that is why when Satan deceived both of them they were driven out of the Garden. Satan’s Plan was so close to coming to reality that God had, as always, diverted it, and keep the way of the Tree of Life. Had Adam and Eve Taken Of and had eat of the Tree of Life, Satan would have become like God. Adam and Eve had Welcomed the enemy into their lives and at that time, he his spirit, entered into their flesh. He entered into the Flesh of Adam and Eve and would have entered into God’s Presence in the New Body that Adam and Eve would have had had they taken of the Tree of life. At that moment he would have stopped God from existing in all of those who, in God’s family, would have been the existence of God. You see if we don’t have Children of our own, we, in essence stop existing. God would not exist in his children. His whole plan would have been aborted; Satan would truly been like God. Satan would have taken the form of, that, that Jesus had taken when he came from the grave, and as the verses earlier stated, He, Jesus, ate the loaves and fishes and told them to handle him; for, a spirit hath not Flesh and bones, as you see me have. God at that time trapped Satan in the flesh and kept him away from the tree of life. The flesh is the Enmity that was there pronounced upon fallen man.

 

James 4:4 (KJV)   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.

 

The world is where; Satan landed, When he was thrown out of Heaven.

Rev. 12:12 (KJV)   Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

 

Luke 10:18 (KJV)   And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

 

Satan is Angry: Satan is out for revenge. He does not have access any more to God. Satan torments Gods people. Satan Speaks with his messenger: He speaks to us in the flesh.

 

The Apostle Paul Stated that he prayed three times for God to remove the Messenger of Satan. God would not remove it for the reason, that Paul would be like us, exalted above measure.

 

Why do we think it strange today to see a select few who try to control the work in our churches? Think of it now: If you were Satan and wanted to do the most damage to Gods work: Where would you get or what position would you seek for? The Highest position, or seat, that you could ascend into. Satan from the word go, has had this for his ultimate goal.

 

 

Isaiah 14:13-14 (KJV)   For thou, (Satan), hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 

[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

 

When he has complete control of  one of  God's creation and has come into that soul like he took control of Judas, He wants to ascend to a position to where he can have the preeminence

among those and that way he can control the Show.  Thereby defiling many.

Ezekiel 7:22 (KJV)   My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

How is it then that he makes himself look so righteous and is able to deceive so many who believe that they are walking with the Lord:

2 Cor. 11:14 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

The verse states: “Is transformed into an Angel of Light” That means that Satan has already transformed himself, How do we know and prove this strong statement?. Where did he do this?.

July 9th. 2002

 

Satan has been adorned with all that God could possibly adorn any with. He had occupied this realm where this creation took place and was there beholding everything that God was doing to place into existence and had as I said occupied this world in the Angelic form. He had access to all of God’s wisdom and Glory. What was he doing while this was going on. He was setting up a institution. No one knows how long he had to do this, as time in his realm did not exist. The movie called: The Land before Time, Is about as close to describing the actual circumstances that existed then. When Adam was placed into the Garden, or Paradise, as we know, he was not governed by time. he could have existed forever and would not have gotten old as we do today. Scientists now say that the body of mankind is built to live forever. Gods intended for man to live in health and an environment of perfection. He did not intend for man to suffer and have to labor by the sweat of the brow. Look for a moment at this that is going on with God. The Angles desire to look into this the Bible tells us;

1 Peter 1:12 (KJV)   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.

You see; The Angles didn’t and don’t have what we have today. Adam had in essence become like God and had with the Voice of God the wisdom of that of God himself. That is why God reached into the dust and made man. This earth and everything holds the true essence of what God is all about. In this earth is placed the very existence of God himself. It was made by him and for him and for his pleasure. God did not leave anything out. Even the Birds, Fish and the creatures exist by what God placed into the earth. God proved that he can take some dry ground and breath upon it and it will live. God can take a dry sinner that looks hopeless today and breath into him and he can live and show forth the Glory of God. This is why Satan wanted to be like God. He wanted to create his own domain and have an existence by choice. He has accomplished that to a certain extent. He has his ministers that choose to give him the Glory and rob God the real and only God of  the honor that belongs to God. Yes he had a intuition going where he gave degrees to those Angles who enrolled in the College. He was the Professor, the teacher and the founder. He then wanted to enroll Adam and Eve into his college. Like today he still wants to shape his ministers into ministers of righteousness. A professor told his class that if they came to that college and think that that college could make a preacher out of them; they would leave the college a bigger fool than when they came there. Satan wanted Adam  and Eve to go to the school of his and he would make them like God. Too many today have gone to the college of Satan and have been shaped into what is called: “the enemy’s of the cross”.

 

 

At what time or where did he do this?. He did this in the Garden of Eden. He transformed himself into the flesh there in Adam and Eve in the Garden. Cain was the first evidence of Satan coming in the Flesh. He took on the nature of sinful flesh and wanted to offer to God the offering that, not pleasing to God, but wanted to offer what he wanted too. When Able who was a The righteous seed; confronted him about this and tried to reason with his brother, Cain did not want to reason and went and Killed him. This is what Satan is;  a murder from the beginning.

John 8:44 (KJV)   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.

 

Satan works are these:

1 John 3:8 (KJV)   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 2:16 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Galatians 5:19 (KJV)   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 Cor. 12:7 (KJV)   And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

 

 

 

Christ has abolished those commandants and ordnances.

Man wants to put them on you. Why would they want to do such a thing? They the Children of Disobedience are spiritless and want to affect you for their own reasons.

Galatians 4:17 (KJV)   They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

They would Exclude you from walking in the Holy Ghost. They have rejected the Holy Ghost and want you to be like them, that way they can hold preeminence over you. Satan can do just what he started out to do, be like God. But he can and will never be like God.

Enmity was placed there on man to tutor him to the Cross and man put a vale between man and God. Man only let Those come in; upon their approval.  Today the hold the threat of ex-communication over the heads of those who do not have their approval.

We are not to call no man father. This does not mean that we can’t call our earthly father, father. When it comes to Gods people we are not to call anyone father except God.

Satan still has used the flesh and commandants with ordnances to hold dominion over many and there needs to be a setting free of his Yoke. Jesus said :

Matthew 11:29-30 (KJV)   Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 

That is why I am writing this. I can see today so much bondage among the people and there needs to be deliverance brought to free those from bondage.

The Holy Ghost breaks this Bondage and sets men and women free to Worship God in the Spirit.

 

Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)   The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 

Luke 4:18 (KJV)   The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Ephes. 2:15-16 (KJV)   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;

 

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

 

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)   And 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.

 

 No how does God keep the plan in effect after he drove out man from the Garden, Remember the Spirit moved upon the face of the deep. His Spirit goeth through the earth and is everywhere. Here we have Satan trapped in the Flesh and we have the Spirit also working in the Flesh and a war is now eminent. Death is pronounced upon mankind and a curse is upon the earth and condemnation now exists for all flesh. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. Satan the cause of death is in essence has built his own Gallows like that of Haman in the book of Ester.

Esther 5:14 (KJV)   Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

 

Esther 6:4 (KJV)   And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

 

Esther 7:9-10 (KJV)   And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

 

[10] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

 

Esther 8:7 (KJV)   Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

 

Esther 9:13 (KJV)   Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

 

Esther 9:25 (KJV)   But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

 

 

 God now has him sealed to his doom. So Satan believes that he has robbed God of everything and began to set up his kingdom in the earth.  Jesus said: The kingdom of God suffered violence up until John the Baptist, The violent take it by force. Satan is an Angle of Light, meaning that he was the most beautiful Angle that God had created and he in his subtlety took what God adorned him with and set out to overthrow the God that had created him. After all he had been given all, Except one thing, He could never, as an Angle be in the form like unto that that Jesus had and this is what he wanted most of all. The Angles can transform themselves into the flesh as disciples and can make those who are not led by Gods Spirit believe that he is the real genuine power.

2 Cor. 11:14 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

 

 Now at the Cross where he thought that he would get rid of God altogether by killing Jesus and this would rid God of any authority in this world, He then in his Kingdom would be the God of this world and believed that his Kingdom would be in existence forever. God and the Host of God’s Angles waged war with Satan and His Angles and there was one of the fiercest battles fought at that time.

Rev. 12:7 (KJV)   And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

 

 Satan could not let Christ be raised from the dead and he fought to keep this from happening. As always he lost and was Kicked out of Heave never to have access to God’s paradise and was cast down to the earth; Rev. ch. 12 tell all about the results of that battle.

Rev. 12:12 (KJV)   Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

 

 Satan is angry and is out to get even with God and is taking his revenge out on the followers of Christ.

 

Daniel 7:21 (KJV)   I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

 

Rev. 12:13 (KJV)   And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

 

 

He persecuted Christ and the Early Church Even unto Death:

Matthew 26:38 (KJV)   Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

 

 

Luke 21:16 (KJV)   And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

 

 

Rev. 2:10 (KJV)   Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

 

 But thanks to God he did not leave us comfortless. He sent to those in the upper room the Holy Ghost and gave us access to the Throne and we can sit down with Jesus and be where Satan will never be again.

He doesn’t have any access through the Holy Ghost and we can once again hear the Voice of God in the cool of the day.

His destination is described in the book of Revelation:

Rev. 20:2 (KJV)   And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

 

Satan knows that he has only a short time until this takes place and he in his rage, is doing all he can to keep those Whom God wants to exist in, from entering into the fellowship with God. This is why those who resist the Holy Ghost go about to establish their own ways. Satan has blinded the minds of those and there needs to be a revelation of God’s Word, and to have God to open their understanding as to what Satan’s plan is  This is why I am writing this book. I have for so many years, knowing the Lord as my Savior, desired to know more about God’s Word. The word of God has been changed by man and has been diluted down to the point that anything is acceptable. It is ok to be and believe whatever you want. The bible says: Let every man be a liar and God the truth.

 Romans 3:4 (KJV)   God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

 

 I can now see what God meant by this statement.    

To sum it up is to say; God wants to walk and talk with us as he did in the Garden of Eden. The only way that we can do this is to Pray in the Spirit and let the Voice of God, That is God, come to us and have that  fellowship that we need. and most of all,

God wants, He is like us; We like the fellowship that we have with our children when our children and we as parents are in the same agreement with each other. It then becomes a real paradise environment. Satan wants to destroy that environment and keep us in an uproar and divide us. Making us miserable; like he is miserable, He; Satan did not get his way on everything; and, like a  child, he started to throw his tantrums. Just because he doesn’t get his way; He gets mad and  wants to make everyone miserable. He likes to be in authority. He has to be seen; and heard. He requires a lot of attention.

Cain was his first seed. He controlled Cain. He does like control. He will control whomsoever he can. He working in Cain, wanted to do what he thought was right, He offered up that of material offerings, like the Pharisee's. They fasted and pays his tithes and he does this to gain authority among the church. He sits in the seat of God. The seat of God is the Heart of each one of us.  God does not dwell in temples made with hands. Everyone is looking to see what will happen over the sea; In Jerusalem. Many think that their hope is in the Carnal Jerusalem. But, i am here to tell you, that the Jerusalem from above is the hope of all of us The Heart of man is the Temple, and Satan is setting himself in the hearts of many, and defiling the Temple of God everyday all over the world.

What we need is to let our laughter turn to tears and weep and cry out to God for a Move of the Spirit and look unto the Author and Finisher of our Faith, that is, Jesus Christ. Jesus said on the Cross; “It Is Finished”. He finished it for us and for Satan and Sat down on the right hand of Majesty. He poured out of his Spirit to give us the Power to overcome. What we need today is; as I said earlier; Is a Move of The Holy Ghost among the Churches. Then will we see the bondage broken; and the yoke, that Satan has placed on Gods people, will be broken. Praise be to God.

 

 Man was made in the likeness of God. Was that likeness like his form or was that of his nature?. There is a lot of answers that man has not at his disposal except that the spirit reveal it  to him.

 

At this time I feel the need to write down some of the things that has been given to me in a dream and a vision: The date of this vision and dream is: Monday June 17, 2002. This is the vision that I saw upon my bed. I  saw the church of God at  Mt. Pleasant located on Shepherdsville Road in Tennessee near Granville Tennessee; I Walked into the Church Building and I asked someone there: Am I welcome? The person said that I was Welcome and I proceeded or went into the building and sat down on the left side in the rear of the church and there was some more people there sitting with me and there wasn’t very many that sat there with me, as there were not many seats there to set in, I looked and saw that most of the church seats had been removed from the building. In the place of the seats there was a large table in the shape of an oval shape and it was very large and It had chars around it. These chairs  were like the chairs of a dining room table that one would have at a table at or in a residence. I looked and saw several  people sitting down at the table and more came in and sat down at the table. The people that was sitting at the table didn’t seem to notice me and the ones that sat beside. I looked for my son Wade and i saw him at the table with a blue shirt on it seem to have stripes running downward. There was a lot of papers on the table and there was no food of any kind on the table. The people at the table was shuffling through the papers as if they were so busy that they didn’t notice anyone else in the building. Wade did not notice that I was there and neither did the others. At that time Brother Payne walked in and came over to me and said: I thought that you would have least come to the Revival and then went on up with the rest of the people. He did not appear to be very Happy as a man with a lot of sorrows. Then the vision was ended.

I have had visions before this and one was that I Saw Brother Payne and the number  six and the number nine.

There was a man with Dark hair and he had a suit on and had stripes running downward on his suit.

I saw my brother that has recently died and gone to be with the lord and he was with someone and they had  a truck and was carrying the church seats that is in the church at Mt. Pleasant and they were throwing them into a pile out in the open field and as he was throwing them off the truck he had problem's getting them to go into the pile, he threw them and then jumped off the truck himself landing on the ground and I thought to myself that; Willard you can’t do that. you are not able to do that. he had a real  nice suit on and it had stripes running downward also. There was an old car that came up and asked if this was the place that they were going to have church at. He had been told that the church would be gathering to have church in the field in the opening.

 

The next vision I saw Tim one of the ones that goes to Mt. Pleasant Church Of God; He was reaching up high and reaching for something and i saw that it looked like a t-bone steak and as he pulled it down, I saw the steak turn into a Demon like shape and I told Tim not to take it.

I saw a missile, a very large missile come into a city, the missile was traveling vertical through the air and Saw it land into the city of Chattanooga Tennessee, There were much smoke rising up into the air because of the blast. Strangely This is where Wade my son came to the end of his running from the Lord and with deliverance, he was delivered from sin and found the lord.

There he was in the Jail and someone was there and who knows if it was an Angle, taught him and had Bible study there among the inmates. Later Wade went to the Mt. Pleasant Church Of God and gave his life to Christ. At that time I had been building this home and about  seven or eight years past had been a  pastor

at another state and had resigned and left to travel for a company. running a crane. after about five years I sold our home in Indiana and bought this land here in Granville Tennessee. I had not told anyone or had not attended Church anywhere and had not preached any at all. I had let my License with the Church of God of the Mountain Assembly expire and  didn’t and wasn’t interested anymore in attending church. After the Experience that happened with my son Wade i seem to get fired up again and began to go back to church with him at Mt. Pleasant. I had asked God to forgive me of the neglect and any sins that i had committed and God began to again as always in the past to move in my life. At the church i experienced  the presence of the Holy Ghost and He the Holy Ghost began to move in my life. There at that time Satan began to battle me with all the forces that he could muster up. While I was having these visions, I began to reveal them to the church and at that time I noticed the resistance from The pastor Brother Payne. It got so bad i felt that he did not want me there no more and things getting worse I decided to leave, as i didn’t want to cause trouble or be blamed for anything. I  guess I had been warned by the spirit as only a few of those from the church has had any dealing with me and The pastor has not as much called to see it or what is wrong. What more do in need to say to confirm that i am not wanted. The dream last night confirmed this to me and i felt along with those few that no one Including my son knew that I Was there. They were too busy taking care of the business at the church to notice the few that has been there all the time.

 

 

 

 

 I saw a Crate and on the crate was Writing and  some of it was in red letters and for a second i was shown what it was, then the letters in red went from my mind and I did not know what it was anymore, on the same crate was Black writing and it said: “This is professionally Written, It was written on a angle downward and stood out like it was written by a professional. There was a Grey headed man in the vision and he had Grey hear with a hairline receding toward the top, he was not bald and had an ample amount of hair. 

 

Jesus ask the question; Whom do men say that i am.

 

Matthew 16:13-19 (KJV)   When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

 

[14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He wanted to know, as if he did not know, what others was saying about his identity. If everyone knew who he was they, the followers of Satan, would have changed the plan for his sacrifice.

1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

The princes of this world was so busy trying to find out where he was coming from that they didn’t realize that it was God himself standing in their presence. Abraham when he went to sacrifice his only son was asked by Isaac:

Genesis 22:7-8 (KJV)   And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

 

[8] And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

God Would be that Lamb that was to take the sins of the world away. Jesus was asking; “whom do men say that i am”. Then he comes back with another question;

[15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

I need to let the world know that the ones that i called has heard the voice of God. The voice of God that talked to Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. Here we see the voice of God is and has been talking with mankind down through the ages. Only thing is that most have not been listening to the voice of God. Still today the Holy Ghost as it was on the day of Pentecost is still there as the voice of God.

 

God is still talking and revealing to those whom hear the voice and have faith in the Lord.

 

[16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

 

This is why that Jesus called and those like Simon Peter heard the voice, The Spirit is what peter heard when Jesus said; “follow me”. He is still saying to us today to follow him.

 

[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

 

If we hear the voice of God; we are blessed. Blessed with what?

The presence of God in our lives is beyond the comprehension and it brings the comfort to us that God walks and talks with us just as he did with Adam and Eve in the Garden.

In the spirit we have been made to set down in Heavenly places with  Christ;

Ephes. 2:6 (KJV)   And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Now that we sit in Heavenly places; Where does that mean that we have a residence?

John

14:3 (KJV)   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.

 

 

Jesus said that it is Expedient that he go away. He stated that if he did not go away, back to the father. that the comforter would not come.

If Jesus is the word of God and is made flesh, Where is the Holy Ghost? He and the Father was in the Fleshly tabernacle that was there at that time. What a risk one would say that God took.

 

Here is Christ the very Word of God, He was the Son of  God and had been bestowed upon with all power in Heaven;

 

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

God the Father, God the Holy Ghost and the Son of God was there. What a dispensation that was. God had dispensed His whole existence into this sin torn world and confronted Satan Face to Face.

 

No wonder he tried Job the way he did. God knows how to handle Satan and his Devices and if we will only listen to his voice we too can take him down where he belongs, down under our feet. Christ said the world was his footstool;

 

Psalm 110:1 (KJV)   A Psalm of David. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 66:1 (KJV)   Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

 

 

Matthew 5:35 (KJV)   Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

 

 

 

Matthew 22:44 (KJV)   The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

 

 

Mark 12:36 (KJV)   For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

 

 

Hebrews 10:13 (KJV)   From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

 

This Earth is his foot stool, which is a place to place his feet upon and when Jesus walked on this earth he had placed his feet upon this earth and Satan had to crawl under the feet of Jesus and bow down and as they cried when he was crucified; “surly this was the Son of God;

Mark 15:39 (KJV)   And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

The earth turned dark and darkness was once again upon the deep;

Genesis 1:2 (KJV)   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

 

When Jesus arose from the dead and appeared unto all those that the bible mentions;

 

Luke 24:34 (KJV)   Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

 

The hope of mankind had now taken on a new era and now that Satan had been defeated, God’s plan of Salvation now was in full force, and Satan now knowing that his defeat had taken place went forth with his followers and started to come in like a flood.

 

Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 But thanks to God, God wasn’t through with him yet.

 

Jesus witnessed to all those and then ascended  back to where he came from and was made higher than the angles, He then asked the Father to send now the Holy Ghost upon his followers and to endue them with the same Power that he had when he walked among them, They gathered in the upper room and with a great sound of  like a mighty Rushing wind the Holy Ghost came upon the 120 and  the transition of the power was transferred to the Church of God.

Simon Peter stood up with great Boldness and proclaimed the word of God; Thousands were saved on that day.

Why do we think that we can overcome the Devil and sit back and not seek those things above, especially the Gift of the Holy Ghost? No wonder we see lesbians and homosexuals in the pulpit along with child molesters. My God, When will we wake up and watch with Jesus.

His disciples when they were in carnal following went to sleep and could not watch with Jesus. When he was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was about to make the hope of all mankind real, His followers couldn’t stay awake for even one hour.

 

You ask what is wrong with the church today? We must ask ourselves; are we willing to watch one hour? Do we say our little petty bedtime prayers and then expect Satan to leave us along and when he comes our way, we cry like the Israelites, only to go right back to our old habits, and, our procrastination. We find ourselves in the most difficult positions.

 

God wants to take our Tongue and set it on fire, not with the course of  Hell, but with the fire off the Alter of God,

 

 

Leviticus 16:12 (KJV)   And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:

 

Christ was the Sweet Incense; Truly  we can say that Christ was beaten small as the prophet Isaiah proclaimed:

 

Isaiah 42:3 (KJV)   A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

 

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

 

Hebrews 2:9 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

God sent the Holy Ghost down upon his believers and this is the fire from before the Alter of God and took into his hands full of sweet incense of his followers as they praised him on the day of  Pentecost and the Vail, which was his body;

 

Hebrews 10:20 (KJV)   By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

 

 

Our flesh is the Vail. When we walk after the Flesh, we are not pleasing to God. If the spirit is not in us; we are none of his. Flesh and blood cannot enter in to the kingdom of Heaven.

 

 

1 Cor. 15:50 (KJV)   Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

 

 

 Why then are we so involved in the service of carnality? Flesh and blood does not reveal this message to me and flesh and blood will not open your mind to the message that God wants to give to you. That is why Jesus said ;

 

John 4:24 (KJV)   God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

When the woman of Samaria was talking to Jesus; she heard him proclaim;

 

John 4:21 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

 

John 4:23 (KJV)   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 looking for Christians to walk and worship in the Spirit.

 

Ezekiel 1:13 (KJV)   As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

 

 

Ezekiel 10:2 (KJV)   And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

 

The Tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost was Hot like Fire and Bright and it was scattered over the city.

 

Those Creatures were the 120 that went up to the upper room and the man clothed with linen, that went in between the wheels, was Christ that Hung on the cross between the Judgment of God and man and reconciled man to God.

 

Malachi 4:1-6  For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

 

[2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

 

[3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

 

[4] Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

 

 

[5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

 

[6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

   

 

 He sent the Holy Ghost down on the 120 and  went up and down among the living creatures. The 120 was the Living creatures that began to proclaimed the word with Lightening affect.

Peter stood on the day of Pentecost and thousands were converted to the Lord. The world was turned upside down and a great move of  Gods Power went in the sight of many that was there. Some wanted to know what was the meaning of this; They thought they were drunk on new wine. They were drunk, but on the Heavenly Wine, They heard them speak in every langue and all those that heard went back to their country and told of all that happened on the day of  Pentecost.

 

Acts 2:6 (KJV)   Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

 

The one thing that the Holy Ghost can do is Speak and Understand every Language.

 

Acts 2:8 (KJV)   And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

 

The Language is Universal and  does not make a difference between races or creed. There is no Barriers. Man only makes Barriers. Jesus removed the middle wall and Ripped the Vail in Twain and said to All:

 

Matthew 11:28 (KJV)   Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 

Wherever you go on this Planet, The Holy Ghost is There for those who seek him. The Holy Ghost does not Glory in the Flesh. It only Glory’s in  God.

 

Remember; The Holy Spirit, Confirms and delivers the Word of  God.

 

Luke 10:22 (KJV)   All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

 

Ezekiel 1:20-22 (KJV)   Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

These wheels was the word of God. and out of the word of God  they went under the anointing of the Holy Ghost.

 

We are the creatures and the spirit of God that is in us is, The Holy Ghost, and it moves us to unknown places as the spirit severally will.

 

John 3:8 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

[21] When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

 

[22] And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.

 

Elijah was to come at the beginning of Tribulation and call fire down on those  whom God  was to pour out his indignation upon. Instead of Judgment God’s Grace rejoiced against Judgment.

 

James 2:13 (KJV)   For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

 

Jesus talked with Elijah and  Moses on the mount of Transfiguration. No one knows exactly what they were discussing. I have a strong feeling that Jesus was explaining to Moses and Elijah that their Ministry, that was to be fulfilled, would not be at that time. For four hundred and thirty years there were no prophesies mentioned in the Bible, that is what we call the four hundred silent years. Moses was a type of Christ and Elijah was a Judgment prophet that could call judgment down during his ministry. At this time I believe, that without a shadow of doubt, had not Jesus died for our sins, and the sins of the world, God would have started the wheels of the judgment of Tribulation in motion. Jesus, talking about John the Baptist, said :

 

Luke 7:27 (KJV)   This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

 

 

Acts 7:37-38 (KJV)   This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

 

[38] This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

 

Elijah and Moses was the ones there with the Lord in the mount of transfiguration.

Mark 9:4 (KJV)   And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

 

The Tribulation was eminent and judgment was at the door, but thank God that mercy rejoices against judgment. God pushed back judgment and took  what i believe was the first half of the Tribulation and placed it upon himself as he hung on the cross. Some churches preach that we will have to spend and go through the first half  of the tribulation. rightly they could convince many of that for in:

 

2 Thes. 1:1-3:18  Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

 

[2] Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

I ask the question is tribulation Grace and Peace. certainly not.

 

 

[3] We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

 

[4] So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

 

We that are righteous shall enter in with much Tribulation,

Acts 14:22 (KJV)   Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

 

 

 

 

[5] Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

 

As Christ took the sins and bore our Iniquity upon himself he took  on himself Tribulation and has asked that we do the same and suffer for the cause of Christ.

 

Paul wrote these words to Timothy:

 

 1 Tim. 1:16 (KJV)   Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

 

God has not appointed us to wrath. He took upon himself our infirmities:

 

Matthew 8:17 (KJV)   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

 

 

 

 

 

1 Thess. 5:9 (KJV)   For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

 

 

 

 

 

[6] Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

 

[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

 

[8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

 

[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

 

[10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

 

[11] Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

 

[12] That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[2:1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

 

[2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

 

[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 

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

 

The Heart is the temple of God and it we set Satan up to sit in our heart, He has done what he said he would do; sit in the seat of God.

Acts 7:48 (KJV)   Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

 

Acts 17:24 (KJV)   God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

 

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

 

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

 

What is he talking about, ye know what withholdeth ?

 

As long as the Holy Ghost is in the believer and the believer is in the world :

1 John 4:4 (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.

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

 

The Holy Ghost keeps him, Satan’s Antichrist as a mystery to those who are blinded from the truth, who believe a lie and be Dammed.

2 Thes. 2:11 (KJV)   And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

 

When the Church rejects and Aborts the Holy Ghost out of it and does not Allow Him to Speak the way that he wants too. There will and has come on the house of God a judgment and the strong delusions are manifested today in the churches. Many leaders and layman alike have taken into their mist members that have strong delusions. Those who think that their tithing and fasting and their work that they do will get them the ticket into Heaven. How  sad it is to see that they reject the move of the Holy Ghost and say that it passed away when the early church and the followers all died. What has happened, they have died in their trespasses. Judgment doesn’t begin at the corner Bar. It begins at the house of God.

 

1 Peter 4:17 (KJV)   For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

 

We must take heed to ourselves to not be deceived:

 

Deut. 11:16 (KJV)   Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

 

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

 

Many are running to anyone who can speak enticing Words and can make a fair show.

Galatians 6:12 (KJV)   As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

 

The constrain you to trust in the flesh. and will not lead you into the Spirit. They lay heavy burdens upon you and they will not lift one finger to ease those burdens from you.

 

Matthew 23:4 (KJV)   For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

 

Jesus said:

 Matthew 11:30 (KJV)   For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 

1 Cor. 6:9 (KJV)   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,

 

 

Galatians 6:7 (KJV)   Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

[11] And for this cause  that they should believe a lie:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

[3:1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

 

[2] And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

 

[3] But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

 

[4] And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

 

[5] And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

 

[6] 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.

 

[7] For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

 

[8] 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:

 

[9] Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

 

[10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

 

[11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

 

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

 

[13] But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

 

[14] 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.

 

[15] Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

 

[16] Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

 

[17] The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

 

[18] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stephen, when preaching under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. His appearance was changed that those he was preaching to could not behold his countenance. His face shined and angered the devil so much that they gnashed on him with their teeth.

Psalm 35:16 (KJV)   With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Acts 7:54 (KJV)   When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

The bible says that  the face will shine with the wisdom of God: Eccles. 8:1 (KJV)   Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

 

Stephen was filled with the Holy Ghost and wisdom; Acts 6:8-10 (KJV)   And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

 

[9] Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

 

[10] And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ezekiel 10:15 (KJV)   And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

 

Ezekiel 10:17 (KJV)   When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

 

Ezekiel 10:20 (KJV)   This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

 

Mark 16:15 (KJV)   And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

 

 

Romans 8:19-21 (KJV)   For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

 

[20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

 

[21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 

 

2 Cor. 5:17 (KJV)   Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

 

Galatians 6:15 (KJV)   For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

 

Col. 1:15 (KJV)   Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

 

Col. 1:23 (KJV)   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;

 

 

Rev. 5:13 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

john 17:24 (KJV)   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.

John 17:14 (KJV)   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.

 

John 17:16 (KJV)   They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 

 

John 17:14-26 (KJV)   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.

 

[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

 

[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 

[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

 

[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

 

[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 

[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 

[21] 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.

 

[22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

 

[23] 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.

 

[24] 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.

 

[25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

 

[26] 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

 

[19] 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acts 2:14-20 (KJV)   But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

 

[15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

 

[16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

 

[17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

 

[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

 

[19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

 

[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Holy Ghost was given to the early church to equip them for the transition that had taken place in Jerusalem,

The Law was given on Mt. Sinai to bring mankind under a tutor; which was to bring mankind to Calvary.

There was to  be a supreme sacrifice made for the atonement of the sins of the world.

The law let mankind know that he was condemned. A transgression  was upon mankind as a result of  Adam and Eve’s

transgression that took place in the garden of Eden.

Because of this Transgression all  mankind had inherited the sins of Adam and Eve.

God came as usual in the cool of the day to fellowship with Adam and Eve. They hid themselves from God among the trees.

God called unto them and said; Where art though?.

“We Hid ourselves“ they replied, because, we were naked.

God said to them;” Who told you that you were naked“?

Genesis 3:11 (KJV) 

    And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

 

 

unless there was a shedding of blood of a supreme  nature there would be no hope that mankind would ever stand in the presence of  God again forever, Satan with the help of his followers made a middle wall of partition and separated man farther than what he was from

God.Ephes. 2:14 (KJV) 

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

 

What was this middle wall of partition? It is clearly seen at the well where Jesus was asking a Samaritan woman for a drink of water.

John 4:9-10 (KJV) 

    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. [10] 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.

Here Jesus is violating all of manmade rules and is talking to a Samaritan woman. That was the wall that  the Pharisee's had put between those whom was not a Jew.

 

We are commanded to  touch not; taste not; The traditions that the Jews had put into effect for their own self righteousness.

 

Col. 2:21 (KJV) 

    (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Col. 2:18-22

    Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, [19] And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

    [20] Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, [21] (Touch not; taste not; handle not; [22] Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

 

The flesh can place burdens onto a Christian, that can weigh one down and robe all the joy from an individual.

Even Tithing can become an ordinance to where one is judged by another  as to whether you are a Christian.

God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Cor. 9:7 (KJV) 

    Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

God wants you first not what you own. He doesn’t need your wealth ; He owns the whole world and everything in it.

2 Cor. 12:14 (KJV) 

    Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

 

 

That is like telling your children that to have a loving relationship with you they need to tithe into your bank account.

The Pharisee's Tithed and fasted twice a week, yet they miss the mark altogether and was good at giving advice, but Jesus said it’s ok to do as they say...Just don’t do as they do.

 

 

Matthew 23:3 (KJV) 

    All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

 

I guess this is a little off the course of  Explaining the value of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost, but all these traditions that men and women though at you can alter the experience that you should be experiencing with the Baptism of the Holy  Ghost.

We get sidetracked  and go down the wrong road only to fine that we have to turn around and head back to where we started from. Paul had that situation where he had to do the first ordnances  over again in some of the churches:

Hebrews 5:12 (KJV) 

    For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

We need to become mature and strong and not go back as some have and have to do the first oracles over; that is, repenting and being baptized.

 

What is needed is accountability among Christians. Growing up and being adults.

Ephes. 4:15 (KJV) 

    But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

God wants you and I to become teacher . The sins of jeroboam was that anyone could be a priest. and today anyone can become a priest. We have seen in the news where priest who have crept into the priesthood that are child molesters and among other things perverts. They have another name for it, I call them perverts.

Jude 1:12 (KJV) 

    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;

In the last days there will become a falling away and false teachers will be heaped up....meaning that there will many, many of them.

2 Thes. 2:3 (KJV) 

    Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2 Tim. 4:3 (KJV) 

    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 

 

Are we in that time now? I do believe that we have been in that time for some time now.

Falling away can mean that though the churches are filled to capacity they will not hear the truth and will believe a lie and be dammed.

2 Thes. 2:11 (KJV) 

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

 

There is nothing, in my opinion, than being deceived.

Luke 21:8 (KJV) 

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

Getting back to Tongues of Fire: When we have the Spirit inside of  us we will not be deceived for we will know his voice:

John 10:26-27 (KJV) 

    But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

 

The anointing makes the difference. God anoints his ministers to preach the Gospel:

Isaiah 61:1 (KJV) 

    The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 

Luke 4:18 (KJV) 

    The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God from the time that Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden, placed a flaming sword there; Keeping the disobedient, who refuse to obey his commandants, from having access to God the Father through their fleshly body’s

1 Cor. 15:50 (KJV) 

    Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

 

The very first Commandant that is recorded in the bible, Satan challenged it. He, Satan did not challenge God in person, but approached the very one that God himself created in the very likeness of God. As we can see here when the prophet wrote; Isaiah 14:12 (KJV) 

    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!

Isaiah 14:14 (KJV) 

    I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Here was his chance to be like the Most High. God had made man in his image and man was like God.

Satan wanted to be in Man and have dominion among the flesh and offered eternal life to Eve. He told her; Genesis 3:1 (KJV) 

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Genesis 3:2-4

    And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 

Here he is promising her eternal security, Satan came to the woman that God created there in the Garden, today he comes to Gods children and he is still promising eternal security. He still says today, that no matter how much you sin you are secure in God. The bible says that the soul that sins shall die: Romans 8:13 (KJV) 

    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.

 

When Satan deceived Eve there in the Garden she in turn Gave to Adam and convinced that the security was just as good for him and convinced him to believe that he can live after the flesh...this was what he wanted to accomplish.

Satan inhabited the flesh through the fallen man and became the God of the flesh to all those who reject God and refuse to listen to the voice of  God .

Today, I essence, We too are standing in the same place that Adam and Eve stood, God  has taken us and placed us in a Garden and has watered it everywhere and has told us to take care of the vineyard that he gave us and today through the flesh Satan through the messenger tells us to go ahead and sin  and disregard the commandants of  God and that no matter we are not going to die. Many are defiled thereby; Isaiah 59:3 (KJV) 

    For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 1 Cor. 11:30 (KJV) 

    For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Adam and Eve gave birth to what is called the seed of Satan and she said that she had gotten a man from the Lord; I ask the question: What Lord? The Lord or The God of this world had then taken the likeness of God and  in the flesh started to fight against the God of Heaven and rose up and Killed that Righteous Seed that God had Left in the Earth. After that he was confronted by the Lord and  was asked; Where is thy Brother?;Genesis 4:9 (KJV) 

    And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

He Lied for one thing and then he covered it with an excuse that he was not his brother’s keeper. In other words i don’t care where he is. He in essence had challenged God and let God know that he totally did not regard what God thought and was not interested in what God thought and wanted to Do what he wanted and anyone or anything that got in his war was to be done away with. We here can see the disregard for human life and can see why those who abort the unborn child thinks, They don’t have time for them and they are in their opinion responsible for their actions in getting pregnant; they want to have their own desires of the flesh and lusts and do not regard what God has created and have in essence made themselves God’s and took upon themselves to justify themselves in any actions that they think is appropriate. It is no wonder the Beast  is in the world today. He has been there since the first son of Adam was born. This is why that the flesh has to be done away with. Satan is Death and the last enemy that is to be destroyed id death.1 Cor. 15:26 (KJV) 

    The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

 

Since Satan took the residence of this world in the children of disobedience  and Jesus defeated him ( Death ) on the Cross, He Satan knows that his time is short and he is out to persecute all those who believe and receive Christ as their savior. Rev. 12:1-17

    And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] 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. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] 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.

Here we can see what took place at the Cross of Calvary: The woman was the old testament Church that had followed after by faith, such as Abraham and all those that is mention in the Eleventh Chapter of Hebrews and had come to the Fullness of time: Daniel 7:25 (KJV) 

    And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

 

 

Galatians 4:4 (KJV) 

    But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

 

 

Ephes. 1:10 (KJV) 

    That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

 

 

Christ was to be the End of the Law to The  Commandants  of Offering for sins with the sacrifices of Bull and Goats. Romans 10:4 (KJV) 

    For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.

 

 

 There had to be of supreme nature a  better sacrificial offering made to redeem the lost creation to God the Father.

The law was not able to deliver mankind back into the fellowship of the Father and a better sacrifice was made when Christ  who was made under the law: Galatians 4:4 (KJV) 

    But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

 

The Law is for trucebreakers:

2 Tim. 3:3 (KJV) 

    Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 

The Law is not against the Promised of God. It only confirms what God said that no Flesh should be justified by the Law: Galatians 3:11 (KJV) 

    But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

 

Without Faith it is Impossible to please God:

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

 

What is the reward that God the Father gives to his children.

 

Adam and Eve had this relationship in the Garden of Eden. The greatest reward, Or Crown. is his Word,  His Word is given to those who believe on him. God wants to speak face to face with us today as he spake in times past to those fathers who listened to his voice .Then and now; God wants to not only speak to us, but he wants and intimate relationship with us. How would you feel if you had created a living soul and breathed your breath into his nostrils and then having walked with him in paradise, Then only to see that one whom You have created turn away from you, and turn to another God, and then when you call unto him, he hides from your presence, and avoids you. God had that relationship in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, God wanted the Whole Earth filled with his presence. I am sitting here thinking  if i were the father, i guess i would be heartbroken and would hang down my head a weep. I don’t know how he, Yes i do know, He is God; He is Love: and his ways is past finding out;

Romans 11:33 (KJV)      O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

No wonder the apostle wrote:

John 21:25 (KJV) 

    And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

So how can i sit here and write down on paper the magnificent Acts of God and his Actions toward his creation. My infinite mind cannot  and will not be able to begin to pen the Honor that he deserves. I can only through my Crown at his feet and Cry, Worthy Is The Lamb, For thou only is Worthy, For thou hast redeemed us to God  the Father:

Rev. 4:10 (KJV) 

    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,

Rev. 4:11 (KJV)      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.

We can clearly see that it was God’s Pleasure to have created the man and Woman that is Called Adam and Eve. How Beautiful they must have been. How Beautiful Satan must have been with all his adorning that God gave to him.

When we are tempted today with the things that are in the world, like Jesus, He too was tempted by Satan, Jesus was taken up to a exceedingly high mountain and showed all the kingdoms of this world in a moment of time. The God of this world ,Satan, said all this i will give to thee, if thou will worship me, How many times we have been taken up into an high mountain, maybe it is a position, of maybe it is a preacher who would like to be exalted far above his familiars, and have Satan to tell us, you just listen to me and follow me and i will make you great, all you have to do is change the truth, sugar coat it and curse the children of God ,

Numbers 22:6 (KJV) 

    Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

 

Numbers 22:11-12 (KJV) 

    Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. [12] And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.

 

Numbers 22:17 (KJV) 

    For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

 

Numbers 23:7-8 (KJV) 

    And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. [8] How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?

 

Numbers 23:11 (KJV) 

    And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.

 

Numbers 23:13 (KJV) 

    And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.

 

Numbers 23:25 (KJV) 

    And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

 

Numbers 23:27 (KJV) 

    And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

 

Numbers 24:10 (KJV) 

    And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

There is a lot of  Balak’s  in this world today, who, will follow the advice of Satan and curse the people of God.

What a Problem that God had to deal with in the Garden of Eden and that problem has been in the world every since the beginning of time.

We have overcame the Devil when Christ, who hang there on the cross, Shed his blood for us.

All the Devils and Demons That could be mustered up were there when Christ died on the Cross.

Satan had made one mistake when he caused Adam and Eve to fall; He made the biggest mistake when he tried to Kill Jesus. you see he did not take his life, just like Satan wanted Job’s life and everything that he had, He wanted to take  everything away from God and when he Crucified the Lord he Just put the Gun to his head and blew away all his hopes and now all he wants to do is persecute those who have the testimony of Jesus: Rev. 12:17 (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.

He knows that he has only a short time: His Sentence has been pronounced upon him. His destination is Hell.

 

 

 

Rev. 12:12 (KJV) 

    Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Galatians 3:21 (KJV) 

    Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

 

Hebrews 10:8 (KJV) 

    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;

Galatians 2:21 (KJV) 

    I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Romans 7:5 (KJV) 

    For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

Romans 3:20 (KJV) 

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

Acts 13:39 (KJV) 

    And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

2 Cor. 2:17 (KJV) 

    For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Philip. 3:18 (KJV) 

    (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

 

1 John 2:18 (KJV) 

    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.

1 John 4:1 (KJV) 

    Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 John 1:7 (KJV) 

    For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

From the beginning God:

 

Sunday June 16 2002:

Job 42:12-17

    So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. [13] He had also seven sons and three daughters. [14] And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. [15] And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. [16] After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. [17] So Job died, being old and full of days.

Job 2:1-13

    Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. [2] And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,

and from walking up and down in it. [3] And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. [4] And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. [5] But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. [6] And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.

    [7] So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. [8] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.

    [9] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. [10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

    [11] Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. [12] And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. [13] So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Genesis 50:14-21

    And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

    [15] And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him. [16] And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, [17] So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. [18] And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. [19] And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? [20] But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. [21] Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

Genesis 6:1-7

    And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, [2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. [3] 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. [4] 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.

    [5] 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. [6] And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him

at his heart. [7] 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.

Genesis 4:25

    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.

Genesis 4:26

    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.

Genesis 5:1

    This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

Genesis 2:1-25

    Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. [2] 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. [3] 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.

    [4] 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, [5] 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. [6] But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. [7] 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.

    [8] And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. [9] 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. [10] And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. [11] The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; [12] And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. [13] And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. [14] 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. [15] And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [16] And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] 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.

    [18] And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. [19] 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. [20] 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. [21] 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; [22] And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. [23] 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. [24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. [25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

In the beginning God:

Genesis 1:1

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Without the moving of the spirit of God; everything is void.

 Genesis 1:2

    And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Light is in Essence the ruling Factor in life itself, without it nothing can exist and all things would be void, worthless and without light in our lives we cannot function. we have to artificially  produce light in order to move around in the darkness of the night and man has learned to do that to overcome the boundaries that exists during the nighttime.

So has mankind artificially taken the light of Satan and has become in a sense a self producing artificial  light maker. He loves darkness rather than light (Gods Light)

John 3:19 (KJV) 

    And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 8:12 (KJV) 

    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 10:4-5 (KJV) 

    And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

 

John 10:27 (KJV) 

    My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

John 12:26 (KJV) 

    If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

How can we hear the voice of Christ without the moving of  the Spirit?

  Genesis 1:3

    And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Genesis 1:4   And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

 

 

God is a Spirit.

John 4:24 (KJV) 

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 3:6 (KJV) 

    That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 6:63 (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.

In that Hour he shall Teach you all things;

John 14:26 (KJV) 

    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.

The disciples Wrote the Words as the Holy Ghost moved them to write.

Psalm 78:35 (KJV) 

    And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Luke 24:8 (KJV) 

    And they remembered his words,

He brought it to their memory:

The Word was God, Spirit, made flesh, dwelled among men, crucified, resurrected, and today sets on the right hand of God making intercessions for mankind and has fulfilled  all things and has given us the earnest of the spirit.

2 Cor. 1:22 (KJV) 

    Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Cor. 5:5 (KJV) 

    Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

We are sealed until the day of redemption:

Do not Grieve the Spirit.

Ephes. 4:30 (KJV) 

    And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Look closely to what God is, and Was, and is to Come:

John 1:1-5 (KJV) 

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:3 (KJV) 

    All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

John 1:10 (KJV) 

    He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Rev. 1:8 (KJV) 

    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.

1 Peter 1:20 (KJV) 

    Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Jesus Christ is before all things

Col. 1:17 (KJV) 

    And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

We have been chosen by God from the foundations of the World

Ephes. 1:4 (KJV) 

    According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

We were Called and predestinated to be called the Sons Of God.

Romans 8:14 (KJV) 

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

Romans 8:30 (KJV) 

    Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

 

Could we say that as Christ is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world?.

John 1:9 (KJV) 

    That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

 

  If God be for us who can be against us?

Romans 8:31 (KJV) 

    What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

 

I think that our problem is that we haven’t learned to trust God with all our heart and lean not on our understanding.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) 

    Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

 

We Walk by faith and not by sight:

2 Cor. 5:7 (KJV) 

    (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

 

 

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

 

Adam   was taken from the earth and was breathed upon by the breath of God.....in essence this was the Holy Ghost that was given to Adam.....He then became a living soul......Today if we are without Christ we walk around  dead......Matthew 22:32 (KJV) 

    I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

John 11:25

    Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

 John 1:4

    In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Luke 1:79

    To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

John 1:9

    That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 3:18

    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.

Luke 15:24

    For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Matthew 23:27

    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.

Ephes. 2:1

    And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Ephes. 2:5

    Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephes. 5:14

    Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Mark 12:27 (KJV) 

    He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

Luke 20:38 (KJV) 

    For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

 

Romans 5:12 (KJV) 

    Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 5:15 (KJV) 

    But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Gen, 1.2.... And the Spirit of God Moved upon the face of the waters.

Romans 8:6-7 (KJV) 

    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.

This is why Peter denied Jesus three times......Matthew 26:34-35 (KJV) 

    Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. [35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Matthew 26:75 (KJV) 

    And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Without the Holy Ghost ...Peter meant well and would have in his carnality fought to his death...He even drew his sword and cut of the ear of one of the high priests servants.

Jesus told him to put up the sword....John 18:10-11 (KJV) 

    Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. [11] Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

 

we must recognize:  without the Holy Ghost in our lives; we are not at our full potential.

Peter; When he was filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost stood up;  With boldness began to proclaim the word of God; Thousands were converted;  Then began to come to pass what Jesus had promised: They were to tarry in Jerusalem until they be endued with Power from on High.

What the church today needs ...is not only salvation and pardon from sins; They the body of Christ needs to go a step farther and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Then instead of ice cream socials ...there will be Revival among the church and Souls will be delivered from sin and bondage . We look to the politicians for the answer to abortion and while we look to carnal politicians to resolve the matter of abortion:

what we need is to stop aborting the Holy Ghost out of our Churches and out of our Hearts and lives.

 

The Spirit moved in the camp during Moses time.

 

Numbers 11:29 (KJV) 

    And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!

There were those who thought the  spirit should be limited to only a select few and today there is still those who would deny you and i access to the Holy Ghost by telling you that it is not to be had in this day and that it passed away when the disciple’s all died and that no more miracles of healing and laying on of the hands should not be practiced.

 

Stephen said to those who doubted Gods Power;

Acts 7:51 (KJV) 

    Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

 

 The promise is to all who will call on the Lord;

Acts 2:39 (KJV) 

    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.

Jesus said: John 16:7 (KJV) 

    Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

So it is necessary that we be endued with the Holy Ghost from on high..so that we too like Peter, Stand up boldly and proclaim  with authority and we too can see the results that was there at Pentecost....

Churches have for so long denied the power; While they speak the words of God with their lips.

 

Matthew 15:8 (KJV) 

    This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

 

Can it be possible for us to act like Christians, and not know Christ......Matthew 7:23 (KJV) 

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

 

Titus 1:16 (KJV) 

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

 

 

Yes it is possible to mingle among the brethren and not be a Christian. Judas Iscariot was one example of the devil working in the mist of the brethren and his heart was evil....he was from the devil.

1 John 3:8 (KJV) 

    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 2:19 (KJV) 

    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.

Judas was from the devil.

The Holy Ghost is referred to by Jesus as Living Water:

Jn 4, 14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Ac 2,4 and they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave utterance.

 

Notice: They spake with other tongues as the Spirit gave utterance. Not as they uttered but as the spirit gave or moved on and in them.

One of the body’s most unruly members is the Tongue...(James 3,8).

James 3:8

    But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 

   

 

 

 

 

Peters Sermon to the Gentiles;

Acts 10.46 For they heard them speak in with tongues, and magnify God...

 

God is no respecter of person;

vs. 35 Butt in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him

 

We must fear God and worketh righteousness...John the Baptist came preaching Repentance and said to the people that they should bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

Mt 3.8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance.

Vs. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.

 

Judgment was upon mankind at the time of John the Baptist. He cried, “o generation of vipers “ who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come.

The wrath warning came from Malachi the prophet. (Malachi 4.6).

The people who came out to meet John ...must have thought that the time for Elijah to come and bring Judgment upon the world. They had a reason to be in fear.... For had not Jesus came and died on the cross. There was the judgment of the Law...and at the time of Christ the fullness of Time had come.

Jesus came and pushed back Judgment as mercy rejoiceth against judgment. Ja 2.13.

 

Ac 19,6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

 

Clearly here we can see that the laying on of hands as an act of faith and obedience brought the promise that Jesus had promised.... That he would fill you and I with the Holy Ghost and the evidence would be the speaking of tongues.

Let me emphasize to you, The evidence of the gift of the Holy Ghost is given for the work that God wants you to accomplish. The Holy Ghost brings salvation to the believer.... And it gives the believer boldness to accomplish the task that God calls us unto. Just like the evidence of confirmation of Christ as King and lord of Lords. The healing took place to confirm his ministry; the gift of the Holy Ghost confirms that the believer has met with God and submitted himself to God for service.

 

James 4,7-10  Submit yourselves unto God. Resist the devil. and 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, 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 will lift you up.

 

Psalm 34:18 (KJV) 

    The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

 

Psalm 51:17 (KJV) 

    The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

 

Isaiah 57:15 (KJV) 

    For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

 

Isaiah 66:2 (KJV) 

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

 

 

Numbers 12:3 (KJV) 

    (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

 

Psalm 22:26 (KJV) 

    The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

 

Psalm 25:9 (KJV) 

    The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

 

Psalm 37:11 (KJV) 

    But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

 

Psalm 76:9 (KJV) 

    When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

 

Psalm 147:6 (KJV) 

    The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

 

Psalm 149:4 (KJV) 

    For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

 

Isaiah 11:4 (KJV) 

    But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

 

Isaiah 29:19 (KJV) 

    The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

 

Isaiah 61:1 (KJV) 

    The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

 

Amos 2:7 (KJV) 

    That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:

 

Zeph. 2:3 (KJV) 

    Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.

 

Matthew 5:5 (KJV) 

    Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

 

Matthew 11:29 (KJV) 

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

 

Matthew 21:5 (KJV) 

    Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

 

1 Peter 3:4 (KJV) 

    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.

In these verses we can see the part that we as sinners must present to God before God can start to Draw near to us and place inside and upon us the Gift of The Holy Ghost......The Holy Ghost is the person that  Brings God to his believer and confirms  his word.......Jesus said: I will not leave you comfortless.

John 14, 18-18  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 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 unto you.

Jesus was the truth and the way: John 14:6

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 

 No man can come to the Father except through, and by him.(Jesus). This is the first Comfort that was given by the Holy Ghost. As John the Baptist proclaimed .....”Behold the Lamb of God”...   So this was the comforter of the Salvation of God  which was given to mankind, Redeeming him from sin.

To seal the believer there needed to be another Gift given. Jesus needed;

to die on the cross and go back to the Father.

John 16:7

    Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.    

Ephes. 1:13

    In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

 

After you heard the Word of Truth.......Faith has to enter in to the Plan of God...For without faith it is impossible to please God...Hebrews 11:6

    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.

 

   

 

Romans 10:17

    So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

 Romans 10:14

    How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

 

We as Ministers of God have a calling on our lives and  must go forth under the anointing  of the Holy Ghost  and preach the Gospel....1 Cor. 9:16

    For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

 

There must be an anointing of the Holy Ghost to break the bonds of iniquity...Luke 4:18

    The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

 

Jesus said......John 8:32

    And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 

John 8:36

    If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

 

 After we are made free, Then we are sealed  by the Holy Ghost...1 Cor. 1:22

 

Friday  June 14, 2002: God has by his Spirit revealed to me that i should now  deal with the Presence of God.

 

Presence: Strong’s Greek; Meaning

 

Going back to the Beginning when Adam and Eve was in the garden that God had prepared for them , one would have thought that God would have placed his prize creation into an environment where there could be no wrong committed; But there in the Garden, or Paradise, was to be a choice to be made: The reason is that if God was to have someone to worship him by choice, he had to put a choice before them so that they could choose whether to serve him or to reject him. We today have the same choice and we too today can’t understand why God doesn’t remove all temptations from us altogether:

 

The Apostle Paul came to this situation when he realized that there were present with him: Two Members working in him. Romans 7:24 (KJV) 

    O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?. He was so miserable with this war that was going on that he prayed  Thrice for the one to be taken out of him, or for to be delivered from the presence of the messenger of Satan: 2 Cor. 12:8 (KJV) 

    For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

 

Now this bring us back to the Garden: Adam  had  knew no sin, or wrong, They, had only known Good. Who is Good? Jesus said: 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.

 

Mark 10:18 (KJV) 

    And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

 

 

Adam and Eve only knew God, and only knew the presence of God in the Garden,

The question now is; How did the opposite of God, Evil, get into the Garden, or Paradise?. Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV) 

    Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

 

Ezekiel 31:8-9 (KJV) 

    The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. [9] I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

 

God had Created the most Honored Angelic Being and  Had  Adorned This Angel with The most Honor that anyone could imagine and Crowned him with Beauty that was unimaginable. But when God reached down into the Clay of this Earth and picked up a handful of Dust and Started to shape into it another living soul; Satan the most admirable Angle Got Jealous and went into a rage and  it made him so Angry that at that point of the era, He Satan, Started to put into motion, The most unruly member, the Tongue and convinced  one third of the Angles that Admired him  for his beauty and those that envied him.....This was the evidence that there was sin in the mist of the Angles; Because they Envied Satan, so they did not have any trouble listing or following his advice, When he approached Even in the Garden and said that God had said; Thou shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he had a host of support there to help convince her to partake of the fruit. Genesis 3:1-2 (KJV) 

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

    [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 

Genesis 3:4 (KJV) 

    And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

This was the downward move of God's Creation of His precious creation, heading downward toward the pit. Today we go through the Holy Ghost enter into the presence of God, Psalm 140:13 (KJV) 

    Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

 

On the day of Pentecost, when all those that gathered together, They became one in the spirit and all their thoughts were on God and they worshiped him and at the time of refreshing, He poured out of his spirit and the presence of God was there with them like it was when God walked in the Garden with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. These 120 Experienced the presence of God in their mist as they had never experienced before. Even when Jesus was walking among them and all the miracles being done in their presence they did not know what the Joy of God was and could not understand all that Jesus had revealed to them while he walked among them.

They had received the promise that God had made to Adam and Eve....The promise that they would Live forever in the presence of God the Father. No wonder there was a sound like a mighty rushing wind and it fill the house. When we come into the presence of God through the Holy Ghost there is a sound of Praise or there should be praises that the World cannot understand. It is Joy unspeakable and full of Glory. Praise God.

 

God through the Holy Ghost reveals to his Children the promises that he himself wants to be in our presence and that he wants us to choose to be in his presence.

 

We are not to Glory in the flesh, that all glory should be in the God of Glory.

1 Cor. 1:29 (KJV) 

    That no flesh should glory in his presence.

When Stephen was in the presence of the Satanic Forces, His  countenance was altered to the point that the enemy could not bear to look upon his face. When we are in the presence of God through the Holy Ghost the enemy cannot bear to look upon us and will either flee or will find himself mustering up all the help he can muster up and come against the power of or the Presence of God.

 

This is the Devil’s only way to deter the work of God is to persecute the ones that God has saved and by doing so he can alter the plan of God to the extent that he can be the determining factor as to what goes on in the world among the people of God. Paul warned that they would creep in and not spare the flock: Acts 20:29 (KJV) 

    For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

This means that they, the enemy’s  disciples will not regard the desire of the lord toward his children.

 

Ester came before King  Esther 5:6 (KJV) 

    And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

 

Esther 5:1-10

    Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. [2] And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. [3] Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.   

 

Esther 4:1-13

    When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; [2] And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. [3] And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

    [4] So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not. [5] Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. [6] So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate. [7] And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. [8] Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. [9] And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

    [10] Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; [11] All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. [12] And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. [13] Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

 

Here the enemy was trying to wipe out the Jews completely and had devised a plan and with his persuasion convinced those around him, whom he had influenced to follow his advise and Had almost completed his mission, so he thought, but there is there the promises that god had made to Adam and Eve in the garden that there would be a seed that would come forth and that seed would bruise his Head, or his power, Every device that the devil puts in our path is a device that is used to defeat him.

 

 Haman  wanted to be placed on the list of those that would be favored by the king and he didn’t want to allow those people of God that he had brought out of a great deliverance from the bondage of Egypt to rise again to the level where his position would be threatened.

He was building his on Gallows to hang himself on.

Many today in the church who love preeminence among  the church build devices to keep the work of God at distance or completely out of their presence, only to find they themselves are only devising to themselves the instruments of unrighteousness to bring their ways to a swift end.  

 

3 John 1:9 (KJV) 

    I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

 

We want to be in the presence of God when we have fully obeyed the voice of the Lord and like Adam and Eve we hide ourselves in the middle of society when we disobey God’s word and are afraid to enter into his presence.

The words were said of Adam and Eve, We were afraid and hid ourselves, why would they want to hide? because the presence of God demands that we obey his voice. Romans 6:16 (KJV) 

    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?

 

Adam and Eve decided to obey Satan instead of God and this brought condemnation unto death and fear fell upon them and they ran and hid themselves among the trees and began to realize for the first time that they were naked and that their nakedness appeared before their eyes and also to all the beast of the field.

 

We too hide and try to cover our sins when the condemnation comes from God to bring to light the hidden things that are dishonest.2 Cor. 4:2 (KJV) 

    But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

 

Walk in the Light:

 

 

 

 

 

John 12:35 (KJV) 

    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.

 

We walk in the light or we stumble and fall.

Adam and Eve had the light and they chose to live in darkness and therefore they were driven out of the presence of God.

Cain was the results of the disobedience, He could not bear to offer to God an acceptable offering. He wanted to offer the offering that he thought would be that of his carnal thinking. God was not pleased and his countenance fell and rage arose up and caused jealousy to dominate his spirit and while he could not bear the rejection of God, he decided to take actions according to his carnal nature and he rose up and killed his brother Abel, who had offered an acceptable offering to God. This is what happens to those who are doing what they want too and not what God wants them to do.

Why is the church in such an uproar someone has said?. could it be that the offering that we offer are the carnal offerings and that we feel that we have done out duty when we pay our tithes and that buys us the right to take preeminence among the rest of those that are around us. In doing so we seek the authority to dictate to others what we think is the right way, The bible tells to search the scriptures: John 5:39 (KJV) 

    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

This is the key to the truth. Our testimony must be pleasing to God. Enoch had a testimony that he pleased God. Able had a testimony that he pleased God. on the other hand, Cain decided to testify carnally and his testimony was rejected and that drove him into anger and he took out the anger on his brother, because he had to blame his anger on someone. many times when we are in a rage of anger there has to be someone to blame  for what we ourselves  is to blame, then we take it out on those closest to us and thereby we destroy the spirit of fellowship and then the presence of  God is not there, We then fly off the handle like Cain and depart out of the presence of God and go into the land of Nod=+ Vargancy + Vanished.  What  Cain did was vanish out of the present of God. to a land  which could be call; “The land of Cain”. Cain began to fortify himself and in those times the stature of their  recognition was to build a city. This was their identity . That was the reason of the Towers of Babel: Genesis 10:10 (KJV) 

    And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

 

Satan wanted to be like God; Isaiah 14:14 (KJV) 

    I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Satan wanted to set in the congergation:Psalm 48:2 (KJV) 

    Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

 

The Psalmist describes the joy of all the Earth and it location. Mount Zion, The mountain of God. We have come to the mount that can be touched by our infirmities: Hebrews 4:15 (KJV) 

    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.

 

Satan could not come to the mount of God and humble himself, therefore he wanted to be higher than God.

 

 

Isaiah 14:13 (KJV) 

    For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

 

 

Satan met his defeat at the cross, He was defeated there and has no access to the mount of God anymore and not only has he been defeated he has been sentenced to hid total banishment from the presence of God and to all those who have the testimony of Jesus and who walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh.

Romans 8:1 (KJV) 

    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

Rev. 12:1-17

    And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: [2] And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. [3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child (Jesus) as soon as it was born. [5] And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] 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. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (The Church) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

 

As the children of God, We have overcame, because he has overcame.

Rev. 3:21 (KJV) 

    To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

Rev. 12:11 (KJV) 

    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

 

 

We must not love our lives that we let our lives keep us from doing the Father’s business.

Just as Jesus was about his Father’s business, we too need to be about the Father’s business. Luke 2:49 (KJV) 

    And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

 

The mother Mary and Joseph was three days into their journey toward their home town and  realized that the lord was not in their presence and we too find ourselves loosing contact with the lord and  suddenly  find that like Mary and Joseph we cannot locate the Lord. Then we too have to go back to look for him. The  place to look for him is in his father’s house about his father’s business

  2 Cor. 1:22

    Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

When a Truck driver delivers a load of freight and that freight is highly valuable; The company will place a seal on the access door and that seal must not be broken until it reaches its destination.

 

Ephes. 1:13

    In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

 

 John 6:27

    Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

 

John 14:2-3

    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. [3] 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.

We are the children of God and God wants to give good gifts to his children, in fact he takes pleasure in giving good gifts to his children:

 

Luke 11:13

    If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.

   Matthew 7:11

    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?

 

   We must ask’ 

John 14:13

    And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

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 16:23

    And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

 

So if we ask, why do not we receive? James 4:3

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

Jesus said  that he must be about his Father’s business; We need to be about the Father’s business also; Luke 2:49

    And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

 

I need at this time to insert something that i recieved this morning ; Thursday June the thirteenth...The Spirit revealed to me that when Jesus was asking the Father to Glorify him with the Glory that he had with the Father in the beginning ...John 17:5

    And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Christ was the Glory of the Father; Hebrews 1:3 (KJV) 

    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;

When God Created the Earth and all the things in it ,he had a plan to share the Glory and  Express it in visible form. He was, as someone said not satisfied with the Heavenly Host of angles ..He wanted to Express his love and have someone to come and worship and fellowship with him by Choice...The Angles were made to worship and if they did any wrong they were kicked out of the presence of God. Ezekiel 28:14 (KJV) 

    Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

This was the position that Satan had with God and he let his Beauty and Power that God had Adorned him with to cause him to rise in power to try to overtake God....He wanted to be like God. Isaiah 14:14 (KJV) 

    I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

He was there in the Garden of Eden and Temped God’s Prize Creation into thinking like him. Adam and Eve Made the Critical choice there to either continue to Fellowship with God, or, Follow his Subtlety and be rejected from the Fellowship of God’s Presence. Here is the first Definition of Choice. Here God had someone to serve him by choice or reject him by choice.

 

Adam and Eve made a choice that had a lasting effect on mankind until the end of the world. But there was in the Garden another choice that Adam and Eve could have made and that Choice was the Tree  of Life.

Had they Eaten of Chose that Tree; they would have never tasted of death and would have never had known pain and suffering. there would never be any sickness. Genesis 2:9 (KJV) 

    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.

 

Genesis 3:22 (KJV) 

    And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:

 

Genesis 3:24 (KJV) 

    So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 

 

Mankind suffered a devastating blow , and it cost mankind  with the unmanageable consequences.

 

Mankind today still makes the same choice; The choice to take of the Tree of Life of take the choice that Adam and Eve took. Man wants to be like God and do his own thing and go his on merry way, Jesus is the Tree of Life and  one sense we stand in the presence of God through the Holy Ghost we too stand in his presence: Ephes. 2:6 (KJV) 

    And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

 

He told the Thief on the cross who Humbled himself and cried to Jesus, Luke 23:42 (KJV) 

    And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Jesus said to him: Luke 23:43 (KJV) 

    And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 

When Jesus was raised up the scriptures states:

Matthew 27:53 (KJV) 

    And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

It has been said that these that came out of the grave went into Jerusalem  and appeared to many. But  we must realize that this Jerusalem  was not very Holy at this time; Here they Condemned our Lord and Savior, they had nailed him to the cross in the most horrible death that the mind could not imagine. took him to the place of the skull and put him to shame. yet some would say that this city was “Holy” it is hard to imagine that anything about it at this time could be holy. My opinion is that with the Honor that God The Father gave him was when he rose from beneath the earth and having ministered to those in hell and to all those who had been slain by Satan’s hand and his devious pernicious evil ways. He, Jesus made an open show to all those who had rejected the prophets and  defied God’s word and commandants, He with great POMP, brought with him those that we see in Revelation; the Hundred and Forty Four Thousand who set around the throne and the Twenty Four Elders. Whom had not been defiled by women and were Virgins and walked after God with all their hearts and served him night and day in this Evil and Wicked old world. Rev. 14:1 (KJV) 

    And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

 

Rev. 14:3 (KJV) 

    And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

 

 

Could this be those that came out of the grave at the resurrection of Christ.

 

John saw an Holy City coming down from God: Rev. 21:2 (KJV) 

    And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

 

It is true that Jerusalem it referred to as the Holy City in the Scriptures: Neh. 11:1 (KJV) 

    And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.

 

But remember that when they were making the tabernacle in the wilderness that all things were made after the pattern of the Heavenly things .Exodus 25:40 (KJV) 

    And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.

 

There is the Jerusalem of the Earth and there is The Jerusalem form Above that the bible mentions throughout its passages.

Rev. 21:10 (KJV) 

    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,

 

 

Rev. 3:12 (KJV) 

    Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

 

 

Hebrews 12:22 (KJV) 

    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,

 

 

Galatians 4:25-26 (KJV) 

    For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

 

 

There is a great error among Gods people today who are looking to the Jerusalem below, and the carnal Jews as their only hope, as if they look to the carnal Jew that God will pour out a Special favor to them. Paul warns the church about falling into commandants and ordnances , He had a great deal to say about being a Jew.

Romans 2:17 (KJV) 

    Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

 

Romans 2:28-3:1 (KJV) 

    For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: [29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

    [3:1] What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

 

Romans 10:12 (KJV) 

    For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

 

1 Cor. 9:20 (KJV) 

    And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

 

 

Romans 11:1 (KJV) 

    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.

 

Philip. 3:5 (KJV) 

    Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

 

Hebrews 7:13-14 (KJV) 

    For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. [14] For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

 

 

Romans 2:28 (KJV) 

    For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

 

 

2 Cor. 10:7 (KJV) 

    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.

 

 

To conclude; a Jew is a Jew that is born of the Spirit .this is the real Jew and  a seed of Abraham , Abraham’s seed is that of Faith, God brought Jesus Christ to this  lost and dying world by the faith of all those who believed on him, and looked toward the day that they would see the promise that God had revealed to the prophets of old, Abraham long to see Jesus and he saw him.

John 8:56 (KJV) 

    Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

What day was he talking about. The time when Jesus walked among men. Abraham rejoiced to see him in the resurrection and the  realm of faith.

You and I as Christians must walk by faith and not by our eye sight in order to have the fellowship with Christ that was there in the Garden of Eden. The only way to please him is to worship him in the Spirit, there is no way that we can enter into a real close relationship with him without worshiping him in the spirit.

John 4:23-24 (KJV) 

    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. [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

Notice that the word states; The Father Seeks for us to worship him in the spirit... How do we please the Father... We need to be like the 120 that gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem. The one hundred and twenty  tarried until they were endued with power from on High.

 

Do you want a real relation with the Father? The choice is yours to make.

 You can make the same one that Adam and Eve made. You can take of the tree of life and eat of the fruit.

The Holy Ghost and be sealed until the day of redemption , or you can let Satan deceive you into thinking that you can work out everything out in the flesh carnally. Then you can lose out on the real fellowship of God the Father. God has prepared the Holy Ghost for you.

I want more from God than this world has to offer.

 

Remember; to be carnally minded is to death.

Romans 8:6 (KJV) 

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

 

 

To look to the Carnal Jew for your hope. is a sad mistake, and a reproach on Christ, Sure Christ is rich to all that call on him, but you and I, must and will look to the Jerusalem from above for all out hope and answers.

 

For without faith, it is impossible to please God.

 

Hebrews 11:6 (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,(Carefully), seek him.

 

Be careful as to what you run to and after. Many today are going here and there to find  a satisfying experience, only to find the more they look to the flesh for their answers, they only find themselves in more delusions. The bible tells us that, Christ is as close as your mouth.

Romans 10:8-10 (KJV) 

    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

 

Also the mouth has a member that is hard to manage and that will be the tongue, the most unruly and deadly member that is in our body. James 3:8 (KJV) 

    But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 

 

I guess  I could say assuredly that this is why the Gift of Tongues are given by The Holy Ghost is for the real manifestations of the Works of God and the Evidence that God is able to do the impossible, especially with men, to tame the tongue and allow God to speak with a member that for so long has ruled  and destroyed everything in its path. Matthew 19:26 (KJV) 

    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Daniel 9:24 (KJV) 

    Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

 

Daniel 9:25-27 (KJV)   Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

This Revelation has been agreed upon by most scholars as seventy weeks of years, and it is generally agreed that these weeks of years are in total of Four Hundred and Ninety Years. Notice that Daniel made mention of, The Prince,   Strong’s »Strong's Help nagiyd, Hebrew 5057, Strong's nagiyd,  naw-gheed'; or nagid, naw-gheed'; from Hebrew 5046 (nagad); a commander (as occupying the front), civil, military or religious; generally (abstract plural), honorable themes :- captain, chief, excellent thing, (chief) governor, leader, noble, prince, (chief) ruler.  Jesus said himself that the Kingdom of God suffered violence and the Violent taketh it by force...

 

Matthew 11:12-15 (KJV)   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

 

[13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

 

[14] And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 

Jesus was referring to Satan that had, through his devices, had taken the kingdom of this world and had once again caused the Darkness of Sin to rein over mankind. Satan, If he were given the understanding of what Daniel was referring to here, would not have crucified the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Cor. 2:8-11 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

At the time of Christ’s coming, there were in the Temple there in Jerusalem, this Prince that is spoken about by Daniel, Jesus faced Satan face to Face not only when The Devil took him up into an exceed ling high mountain. No one knows what this Mountain was, or how that the Devil did this, but it is of my opinion, and I say my opinion , that this mountain was a Spiritual Mountain, This Spiritual mountain was none other than the Highest Leader there in the Temple that was erected by man and those who occupied this Temple. This was this Prince that Daniel was talking about. Satan had set himself up as he had said by the Prophet.

 

Ezekiel 28:2-5 (KJV)   Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

 

[3] Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

 

[4] With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

 

[5] By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

The Prince of this world had set up himself into the heart of man. The Temple was just a place that he could be identified with. The Flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God. The flesh cannot please God. Satan, was the Abomination that Daniel was talking about and was there in the Temple, the heart, at the time when Jesus came to this world. Satan had gotten his power from the sea, the sea represents the multitudes of people. The people, being in darkness to the understanding of God’s word, had allowed Satan to confuse them to the point that they didn’t know what and who would be the Messiah and how the Messiah would enter the world. The prophets prophesied up until John, but Satan, being wiser than Daniel, had been able, by force, take the kingdom of the world and sat himself, he had placed the Abomination that maketh Desolate. Satan in the Pharisee’s and the High Priest had caused those to make an agreement with Hell.

Isaiah 28:18-22 (KJV)   And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,

 »Strong's Help showt, Hebrew 7752, Strong's showt,  shote; from Hebrew 7751 (shuwt); a lash (literal or figurative) :- scourge, whip. << then ye shall be trodden down by it.

»Strong's Help shuwt, Hebrew 7751, Strong's shuwt,  shoot; a primitive root; properly to push forth; (but used only figurative) to lash, i.e. (the sea with oars) to row; by implication to travel :- go (about, through, to and fro), mariner, rower, run to and fro. This is what The Lord had asked Satan in:

Job 1:7 (KJV)   And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

Satan walked among the Garden in Eden, Satan has walked among men ever since that man was kicked out of the Garden. Satan has made his mark on mankind and at the time of the Coming of Christ, Satan was standing there in the Flesh, He had gotten into the Flesh when he deceived Adam and EVE and had not God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden and placed a Flaming Sword there to keep the way of the Tree of Life, which is and was Jesus Christ, Had Adam and Eve gotten to the Tree Of Life and took of the Fruit of the Spirit, Satan would have been where he wanted to do and convinced one third of the Angles that he would succeed into overthrowing God.

Isaiah 14:13-14 (KJV)   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

How could Satan, being a Angle, be like God? Satan was not made in the Image of God. Satan was not made in Jesus Christ. Satan was mad by God. Satan’s existence was for one purpose and that was to be a Servant of God and a Servant to God’s Creation, namely, those who are called the Sons of God through Jesus Christ.

Rev. 19:10 (KJV)   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.

Rev. 22:9 (KJV)   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.

Satan could not occupy his office that God had given  him. Like a lot of people today, as it was in the day of the crucifixion, especially those who had gained the highest seat. This is how that Satan ascends to the Highest seat and sets in the seat of God. God does not dwell in Temples made with hands.

Acts 7:48 (KJV)   Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Acts 17:24 (KJV)   God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Let me say to those who are looking to the Holy City, called Jerusalem, or this is what the flesh wants to hope in, This city, remember , was the place that nailed our Lord to a Tree. This city that is mentioned is where Satan has sought to control mankind, Satan has and today wants to destroy Jerusalem, The Arab nation, has one ultimate goal, that is, to wipe the Nation of Israel, completely off the Earth. The real Goal is to Wipe Gods nation of Israel.. I am speaking of the Israel of Above. Satan would like to take the Holy Ghost out of every believer, The spirit filled believer is the Real Israel. This is what Revelation 12Th Chapter is talking about,

 

Rev. 12:12 (KJV)   Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Satan was defeated there at the Cross and he was spoken of by the Lord in the New Testament :

Matthew 24:15 (KJV)   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:)

Mark 13:14 (KJV)   But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

 

Daniel 11:31 (KJV)   And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

 

Daniel 12:11 (KJV)   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.

 

Yes the sixty nine weeks of years expired and there was only one week of years left for mankind when Jesus Christ came to us to set us free. This is where most scholars believe that one week represents the Seven Years of Tribulation and this is in my opinion true. There is one thing that we must understand.  In the middle of the week, Satan caused the sacrifice to be cut off. This sacrifice was Jesus. Jesus took the curse upon Himself. Jesus took the first of that Last week and he bore it himself. This is what I want you to understand. John the Baptist was the Elijah that Malachi the Prophet spoke of and Jesus confirmed it.

Matthew 11:14 (KJV)   And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Had not God sent his Son to this world in the same intercessory spirit, the prophet like unto Moses.

Deut. 18:15 (KJV)   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;

Deut. 18:18 (KJV)   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.

It was four hundred and thirty years from the time that Israel went into bondage in Egypt to the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai, It was four hundred and thirty years from the last words prophesied by Malachi until Jesus was Baptized in the river of Jordan and the Voice from on High came down to confirm that there is Three in Heaven and they are one. The voice also confirmed that There are Three that bear witness in the earth, The Spirit, The Blood, and the Water, these three agree in one. The Spirit was there at the river, The water was there, The Blood was there,  Everything that was to be needed to Defeat Satan and once and for All, These Three in Heaven and The Three in the Earth was There and the Discussion that took place on the Mount of Transfiguration, was getting ready for the Great Battle,

Daniel 9:26  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Until the End of the War desolations are Determined, What the prophet is referring to is this.. Jesus being crucified and taking the first half of the seventh week, Jesus became the Moses that was foretold and took the first half of Tribulation upon himself. After he was cut off there were seventy years and the Temple that was there in Jerusalem was destroyed and the people suffered great persecutions and the Prince came and destroyed the City and scattered the Holy People. This is where the Holy Ghost was needed to keep the People that was follows of Jesus Christ. This is where that the Load of Precious Goods that was to be delivered and kept safe, This is the Seal that the 120 needed and received on the day of Pentecost that was to keep them from falling away, This experience is needed today to keep those who suffer persecutions, to keep them from falling away. 

    After the Grace that rejoices against Judgment  come to the world, This Grace pushed the Last Half of The Tribulation into the future to where, even Jesus, did not and would not be able to tell how long that the mercy would endure.

1 Chron. 16:34 (KJV)   O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Then the desolations are determined. what is this meaning, It means that the Judgment, was the words that Jesus spoke, they were the judgment.

John 12:48 (KJV)   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.

Not only  are we to stand and be judged, if we reject the words that Jesus spoke to us, the judge stands at the door and will bring down the strongholds in the time that Mercy overspreads this sin torn world.

God did raise up a Nation and that Nation, was the Israel of Above, the ones that overcomes by the blood of the Lamb. God wanted to make a new Nation of Moses and Moses stood between the judgment of God and the people that was sinning  there at the bottom of Mount Sinai, when Moses had been Given the Commandants. Once again  a Moses type went up to the Mountain of God and received the Law of Grace and That one like Moses stood once again between the judgment of God and the World and overspread the Mercy of God and reconciled man back to God The Father. This  Jesus, God made a New Nation. This Nation was a Spiritual Nation, it is called: “The Israel of Above”.

Galatians 4:26 (KJV)   But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

 

Jesus set us free and delivered those who were held captive. Psalm 68:18 (KJV)   Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

 

Ephes. 4:8 (KJV)   Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

 

Jesus said that it was expedient for him to go away. John 16:7 (KJV)   Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Even the priest communed among themselves and read where the Bible stated:

John 11:49-50 (KJV)   And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

[50] Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

End  Thursday Oct 10 2002

Here is the truth that has been given to those who will receive it. The whole nation, that meant everyone would have been destroyed had not been for the Son Of God coming in the likeness of flesh and willing to lay down his life and stand between the judgment of God and this wicked world.

I want you to think about this. This is the most important part of the book regarding  what God the Father had in mind to do. God wanted to see all mankind come to him, yet at the same time, he had to have a decision day where there would be a reckoning of the transgressions. You have to understand that while Mercy continues and  is long suffering, there is also those who, being corrupted by Satan, will with great boldness, stand in the presence of God the Almighty and dare to challenge the Power of God. It seems that one would not have the gall to come against the creator of the world, but that is just what the Jews, who Satan had caused them to believe his lies, just like he caused Eve to believe his lies and she took those lies and convinced Adam to be deceived. Man, under the authority of Satan, will stand and curse God at his coming in the clouds.

 Rev. 6:9-17 (KJV)   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:

 

[10] 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?

 

[11] 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.

 

[12] 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;

 

[13] 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.

 

[14] And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

 

[15] And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

 

[16] And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

 

[17] For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

This is where the prophecy of Malachi the prophet is to be brought into the picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[19] From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

 

[20] For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.

 

[21] For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

 

[22] Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

 

 

 

[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.

 

 

 

[15] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

 

 

 

Jeremiah 34:10-11 (KJV)   Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

 

[11] But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

 

 

 

[26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

 

[27] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 That he was referring to where he had created Adam and Eve and had placed them into the Garden of Eden, and had walked with them in the cool of the day; Genesis 3:8

    And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

Strong’s  Greek Dictionary defines  the word cool as roo’-akh; Meaning: Wind or resemblance of Breath...or Spirit.

God is a Spirit the Bible tells us in; John 4:24 (KJV) 

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  God’s Glory is his creation of mankind and the Apex of his Glory is to have Fellowship with his Church. The apostle Paul after having recieved a revelation from God . Was moved by the Spirit to go beyond any of the other disciples to accomplish for God more than anyone could imagine. One of his passages in his writings was, that in dealing with the church, he Emphasized that the Saints was his Glory:

 

1 Thes. 2:20 (KJV) For ye are our glory and joy.

 

2 Thes. 1:4 (KJV) 

    So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

Behold the Israel after the flesh, God has chosen to bring to light the hidden things of Darkness.

Isaiah 48:1-13 (KJV)   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.

The Prophet here is speaking to the People who is called Israel and is called by the name of the Lord and who have trusted in their own righteousness, they trust in the city that is called by the name  of the Lord and have no fear of God and are corrupt in all their ways.

[2] For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.

God is here reprimanding them for their obstinate »Strong's Help qasheh, Hebrew 7186, Strong's qasheh,  kaw-sheh'; from Hebrew 7185 (qashah); severe (in various applications) :- churlish, cruel, grievous, hard ([-hearted], thing), heavy, + impudent, obstinate, prevailed, rough (-ly), sore, sorrowful, stiff ([-necked]), stubborn, + in trouble. <<

 

[3] 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.

 

[4] Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

 

[5] 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.

 

[6] 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.

 

[7] 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.

 

[8] 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.

 

[9] 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.

 

[10] Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

 

[11] 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.

 

[12] Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

 

[13] 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.

 

 

 

1 Cor. 10:1-24 (KJV)   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;

 

[2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

 

[3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

 

[4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

 

[5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

 

[6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

 

[7] 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.

 

[8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

 

[9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

 

[10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

 

[11] 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.

 

[12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

 

[13] 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.

 

[14] Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

 

[15] I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

 

[16] The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

 

[17] For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

 

[18] Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

 

[19] What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

 

[20] But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

 

[21] 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.

 

[22] Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

 

[23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

 

[24] Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.

 

 

Satan lives and inhabits the Flesh, steals the Soul and Spirit, Satan takes  them by force. God, Through the Holy Ghost, Inhabits the Soul of Man and the Spirit of Man and  Crucifies the Flesh. The new man that occupies those who walk after the Spirit, is the new man, the living soul. Everything that Glorifies the flesh, is for the Glory of Satan. This is why, those who are always Glorifying the flesh, cannot please God... they only please each other and get their strength through the flesh. This is how the false prophet is set up, this is how the beast is brought to life. Flesh through the Spirit of Satan is able to give life to the beast.  Satan when he convinced Eve and Adam that they would be like Gods themselves, was given, by their disobedience, the right to come into the flesh and take his abode. Satan only occupied the Flesh at that point. Satan had not as yet possessed  their spirit and Soul. The Soul had to be controlled through force and Satan’s intentions at that point was to Steal the Soul and place his Spirit into Adam and Eve. He had caused the Sentence of Death to be placed upon The Flesh of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve then by choice could give him his superiority and at this point, as Cain was instructed by God, had a choice of either offering a offering that would be accepted by God, or, when they would offer a offering that was not acceptable by God, would  either offer a acceptable offering, of would choose to offer the offering that would give Satan the Glory that he needs to Glorify the Flesh.

Cain was told that Sin lieth at the door,

This Door was what Jesus was referring to when he said, Rev. 3:20 (KJV)   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.

Satan has, since Adam and Eve, sinned in the Garden occupied the flesh and his voice is there to continually bid for that Glory that he must have in order to exist, Satan was demoted from the Glory that he had with God, and his existence is the existence of the Glory that Flesh can give him in this World, otherwise he has  no existence or Glory at all. Satan knows that since he has chosen to get his glory through the flesh, ,knows that when the flesh is crucified that he himself will no longer have glory, or any existence. Satan was and is the Messenger that speaks to each one of us. Satan spoke to Paul and made him what he was with the Pharisees. After Paul was converted, Satan tormented him to the point that Paul became so miserable that he wanted God to rid him from his flesh altogether.

 

Romans 7:24 (KJV)   O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Paul here, confirmed that this body, is the body of Death, Satan is Death, and everyone who comes to the Light, which is Jesus Christ, must bring his or her body under subjection, and crucify this body. Paul came to the point , and this point, I want to emphasize strongly, cannot be overcome through our own. Paul could not overcome, until he looked for another member that, at that point was presence to deliver him from the body of death. When we, as Christians, reject the filling of the Holy Ghost, we are, in essence trying to deliver ourselves from the misery that exists inside of us. This misery is a war that goes on as long as we try to offer the offering of the flesh and will, and cannot please God.

Romans 8:8 (KJV)   So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

what Paul is saying is this; If we are always doing the things that please the flesh, God cannot be pleased with that type of sacrifice. God could not be pleased with the Sacrifice’s of the blood of Bull’s and Goats. That sacrifice could not be and will not remove the sin that lies at the door. Cain was told that Sin lieth at the door,

Genesis 4:7 (KJV)   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.

Offering an acceptable to God that will be accepted, only comes from the Heart, Able went and got the very best that he had and came before the Lord, Able offered from the Heart, an offering that pleased God. The animal did not please or was it able to erase the sin in the life of Able, the offering from the Heart was what God accepted, On the other hand, Cain’s offering was rejected because his Heart was not right in the sight of God. Throughout the bible there was given illustrations of that where the offering to God only was received by the Heart.

 Matthew 8:17 (KJV)   That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

When we talk about the infirmities, we are talking about our inability to be able to deliver ourselves from the state of mind, or the condition that we find ourselves suffering from. These conditions are there, sometimes through no fault of our own, and sometime brought on by our own doings ,

When we wrestle with these, we are not wrestling with flesh and blood. we are wrestling with the spirit of principalities that comes from Satan.

 

 Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)   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.

God has given us power over these conditions. We can only be delivered through the Holy Ghost. Christ was tempted like we were and he himself made himself subject to vanity and he was able to defeat the Devil by trusting in his God The Father. Jesus came not as a Judge. Jesus  came to only do one thing, to offer himself as the supreme sacrifice for sins, When we offer ourselves to God the Father and bear the reproaches that is brought about in our lives by Satan, we too can through Humility, overcome the one that has taken by force the very existence of the Joy that we should be having in our lives.  This Joy can come only when we summit ourselves to God.

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

 

Srrongs ;Greek 769, Strong's astheneia,  as-then'-i-ah; from Greek 772 (asthenes); feebleness (of body or mind); by implication malady; moral frailty :- disease, infirmity, sickness, weakness.

Romans 8:26 (KJV)   Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

You and I, just like the Apostle Paul, cannot deliver our selves or will God deliver you from the Messenger that is in our flesh, Only God’s Grace can sustain us until the day of redemption.

God knows that we are tempted and we are frail in our own abilities, If God would remove all the Infirmities and set us free to do as we please, we would exalt ourselves as did Satan. We, after we have exalted ourselves above what God set forth for our lives,  would have to be cast out of the presence of God completely.

We as Christians, have at our disposal the means to approach God through the Holy Ghost and to be able to take out petitions to God with the assurance that God does hear our prayers, that is if we do not regard iniquity in our hearts, when we regard iniquity in our hearts, like the Psalmist acclaimed, God will not hear us. Psalm 66:18 (KJV)   If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Having purged out the old leaven and having the new man dwelling inside us we have someone that we can call upon.

Hebrews 4:15 (KJV)   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.

God is aware of every condition that is present in our lives, and when we can’t find the words to say to God, that is to explain the turmoil that sometimes come our way, it seems that no words can explain the way that we feel, then and then, we have the Holy Ghost to do the intercessory praying for us. Jesus told peter and warned him that... Satan desired to sift him as wheat. Jesus, at the same time gave to Peter the assurance that he had already prayed for him. This is why we can, after doing all that we know to stand, we can just stand and see the salvation of God come into existence in our lives, the over shadowing of our lives, as the children of Israel when they were in the wilderness, had a cloud during the day and a pillar of fire during the night, we can depend of the Holy Ghost to hide us from the evil that surrounds us and  can give us hope and light when the trials comes to our surroundings.  God puts the enemy to flight. God only lets those things that come our way for a particular reason.

1 Peter 3:13 (KJV)   And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

Now if you follow that which is not Good. and there is none Good, but one. Mark 10:18 (KJV)   And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

you would think this to be a strange thing coming out of the Lord’s mouth, and to one it may seem that he was contradicting himself. What he wanted to say to you is...He, Jesus was man just like us and suffered the same pains that we suffer and that he came to summit himself to the Humility that the world had to offer each one of us. The prophet Isaiah foretold how that he would suffer and to what it would be like for the Lord when the Devil and the followers of Satan placed upon the extreme package of Evil.

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)   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.

Isaiah 53:5-12 (KJV)   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.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.

[8] 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.

[9] 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.

[10] 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.

[11] 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.

[12] 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.

The prophet was acclaiming that Christ was to take the human form that you and I have and was to bear all the reproaches that you and I were to suffer at the hand of Satan, With Christ being in the human body and yet Devine, that is God in The Flesh, he, Christ gave to himself not, the title of being good and said that the reason that he was to be the curse for mankind and what he was to suffer in our place, he, Christ did not accept the position of being good. What is said here is that if he were in the form of God, which cannot look and dwell with sin, he would not be in the world to redeem man back to God. Yes he was without sin, and had no sin, yet he had taken on the likeness of you and I and through his humility he always referred to The Father as the Good, and was assuring that his Father was about to do for him and us marvelous and great things. This is why he said that it is expedient for him to go back to the Father, What he was saying that, even with his ministry of healing and doing all the miracles that he did, that was not sufficient  to take us home to The Father.

Christ couldn’t  take one of us to the Father until he died for our sins and then, and only then, could we have the access to the Father by and through the Holy Ghost. Peter and the others with him, after that Jesus had been crucified, lost his hope and turned with sadness and began to go back to the trade that he had done before he met Christ. Peter said “ I go fishing” and the others being the same state of mind and heart said “ I go too” When we lose our Will to do the right thing, we begin to substitute for our experience that we had with Christ, with some other type of experience. This is what happens to a lot of Christians, they have been redeemed by God by his saving Grace, but, after being saved, they experience the great wrath that Satan puts on them, they cannot see God anywhere and cannot or will not stand by faith and they begin to find some or someone to ease the situation. Looking to find some consolation, they turn to other means, and some go back to the world and become once again entangled in the cares of the world. It is very hard and difficult to know God to the fullest without the upper room experience. This is why I am burdened to publish this document. I believe and have known that in my life, when I have had great miracles to happen, only to find myself being discouraged  a many times and at times I like Peter left of serving the Lord, and had at times like Jeremiah the prophet I was determined to not make mention of the Lord... Jeremiah 20:9 (KJV)   Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

When we have the Word, and I say the Holy Ghost in our Heart, we, like Jeremiah cannot forebear to hold it from letting it out. The one hundred and twenty were baptized, not only in water, but they were baptized in the Fire of God’s word.  The word to Jeremiah was like fire shut up in the bones of his clay temple. Strange as it sounds, this is what was said that the word was, and what it does to one when it comes into the life of a born again believer. Psalm 149:6 (KJV)   Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)   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.

It is no wonder that one can, without the baptism of the Holy Ghost, can get discouraged, and even one with the Holy Ghost baptism, that tries to hide it from the work that is to do, will find themselves having to be pierced by the Holy Ghost to stir up the gift that is in them. 2 Tim. 1:6 (KJV)   Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

It is a shame, when we come together that we find ourselves not as the  Apostle Paul said. 1 Cor. 14:26 (KJV)   How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

The church at Corinth found themselves being in the wrong spirit and had to be rebuked by the Overseer,

1 Cor. 3:3 (KJV)   For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

When we walk as men, and I don’t mean to be grown up, I mean that we are looking to the need of ourselves, always wanting God to bless us over and over again. When do we ask God, or thank God for making us Sons of God,                                           having us boldness to enter into the Holiest of Holies, do we praise him until the Joy that comes from on High floods our souls and makes us flaming torches,

Nahum 2:3-4 (KJV)   The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.

[4] The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.

We, I believe, are living this prophecy to the utmost, We can see the chariots, the Tanks and military equipment, along with the millions of automobile and trucks to mention missiles and bombs, including nuclear  weapons that exist today, yet we are coming together not to mourn, but to ask God to continue to fill our vessels and what for, so that we can get, and, get till we can get no more. The world is dying and going to Hell and we as Christians are arguing  over who is to teach and who is paying and not paying tithes. Do you think that God will not come down to see what is happening, like he came down to see that Sodom and Gomorra, and why the cries were coming up to him. Yes the cries will bring him down. James 5:4 (KJV)   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.

1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV)   For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

The seven churches that the Lord told John to write to had many different types of people in them. The most important message that was given to these seven churches was; He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit has to say to the churches. This is my Title to this document, We need Tongues of Fire, not the fire that tears apart everything that God wants to accomplish, but the fire like that of Jeremiah and those that were the recipients on the Day of Pentecost.

After the one hundred twenty came down from the upper room, even the shadow of those that were filled, when it passed the sick, the sick was healed instant.  We need to ask...”Where is the God of Elijah” John said how we can find Him.

Matthew 3:11 (KJV)   I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Some say that only was for the one hundred and twenty and the followers in that day only. They say that when that is perfect is come, that which is in part will be done away with.  Yes they are right, when that which is perfect has come and those who reject that which is perfect will be done away with and  to this I say to you... Yes the word is perfect and to those things that you say that is in Part, like the Miracles and Healing of Diseases and Casting out Devils, Speaking in other Tongues. If you call them “In Part” all i can say to you is, Give me all of that which is in Part, I want what God has Parted to the church, and as was said on the first Sermon that Peter Preached,

Acts 2:16-35 (KJV)   But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

[17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out n those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

[19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

[21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

I guess to you that say that ‘in Part’ this is not for us today to be saved and to

call upon the Lord. Come on now and get your head out.....Ye were mentioned in the next verses and a strong warning to you.

[22] Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

[23] Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

They said in that time that, “we would not have done the things that the men of old, to the Prophets. Yes you would.

Matthew 23:30-39 (KJV)   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.

[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

You today that can and do stand in the churches and in your homes and deny the Gifts of the Holy Ghost, ye are as guilty as the Pharisee’s was and as it took seventy years for the judgment to come on them and the Temple that they made with their hands could not deliver them and the stones were thrown down and as they brought not only the wrath upon themselves, when they said let his blood be upon us and our children, they did not realize what was proceeding out of their mouth, and some of you don’t realize what you are doing to the Holy Ghost and you too need to repent and be filled with the Holy Ghost, that you might escape the damnation of the wrath of God. If you continue to blaspheme the Holy Ghost and the works that men do through the Holy Ghost, well  I guess I can only let you read the nest few verses.

[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

[34] 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:

[35] That upon you may come all the righteous bloodshed 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.

[36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

Yes for all this his mercy is extended.

 Isaiah 5:25 (KJV)   Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

[37] 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!

[38] Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

[39] 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.

God did loose Jesus  from the curse. God the Father did not leave his soul in hell. God did , as he promised, deliver him up to the Right Hand of The Father. Then was  Sent to us the Holy Ghost. God has given us Power to become the Sons of God.

John 1:12 (KJV) 

    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:

God has made us, through the Holy Ghost, to sit in Heavenly Places. Therefore we can enter into the Holiest of Holies. We are made Partakers with him.

Under the Law, only the High Priest could and would enter the Holies of Holies. Anyone that entered into the Holies of Holies would be struck dead instant. The one that went into this holies of holies must have made atonement, not only the people, but for himself.  For us to go into the Throne of God, we must have our sins purged. Jesus Christ, made the atonement for us and he being the High Priest, went into the Holies of Holies and sat down to make intersession for us. We now can go into the Holies of Holies, not with this flesh, but with the inward man, which is made new by the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross. You, the reader need to understand that this flesh that we walk around is left for us to dwell in, for the purpose of communicating and identifying with others that are in the flesh. God does not make this flesh perfect.

Romans 8:2-14 (KJV) 

    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [3] 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: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [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.

Romans 7:23 (KJV) 

    But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

If you continue to reject The Holy Ghost, you are rejecting the Lord Jesus, as he was brought to this world by the Holy Ghost and conceived by the Holy Ghost and was delivered Back to the Father where he sits, making intercessions for us.

[24] Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

[25] For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

[26] Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

[27] Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

[28] Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

[29] Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

[30] Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

[31] He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

[32] This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

[33] Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

[34] For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

[35] Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

It is not my desire to be the foot stool of the Lord, Why would anyone want to be made a footstool.  God will and is now making his enemy’s the footstool.

When we humble ourselves and depend on God, through the Holy Ghost to take care of the works of Satan, we can be as Christ was, without sin, O, I know you will say, That none of is Perfect, Yes that is true, but are you forgetting one thing that the man inside, that should be the one who is existing inside of you, the New Man, He cannot Sin and will not Sin.

1 John 3:9 (KJV)   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.

As Paul stated: Romans 7:18 (KJV)   For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Paul said it just as plain as could be said... To will is present. In our flesh there is no good thing. God does not dwell in this flesh. Acts 7:48 (KJV)   Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

What does it mean To Will?

»Strong's Help thelo, Greek 2309, Strong's thelo,  thel'-o; or ethelo, eth-el'-o; in certain tenses theleo, thel-eh'-o; and etheleo, eth-el-eh'-o, which are otherwise obsolete; apparently strengthened from the altnate form of Greek 138 (haireomai); to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas Greek 1014 (boulomai) properly denotes rather a passive acquiescence in objective considerations), i.e., choose or prefer (literal or figurative); by implication to wish, i.e. be inclined to (sometimes adverbially gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebrew to delight in :- -lindesire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, g [ly]).

 

When we lose our will to do anything, It is then that depression takes over in our lives and it rules our emotions and directs our feelings.

I certainly, medically speaking, am not qualified to diagnose what one should do to alleviate the feeling of depression. I do believe that depression comes as the results of one being hammered at by those around you, with doubt as to one's ability to think and act on ones  merits. In other words, those that are your familiars, are so eager to keep you feeling that you are wrong in what actions that you take.

Paul dealt with the depression of his flesh, Paul tried to find a way to do things in his own way, Paul had the same problem that we have, Paul had been one to act with a strong will to please his familiars and he went about persecuting the church because he had those who exalted him in his efforts. Paul was, and could with the power of that of the flesh that was motivated by Satan, do just about anything to accomplish his task. Sinners today, when they become friends of the world, go out into the world, they have others around telling them that the more they sin, the better liked they are. This is what is called... “Peer Pressure”.   In other words, you have to be with the... In Crowd.  We see in our society that the Television media today, sets the rules for how we dress and what we should like and dislike. If the style is not in... you just wouldn’t be caught out in the crowd. This is what Satan presented to Eve there in the Garden of Eden.

Everyone of us has built into him ... A Will. This Will, is what we know as, Our conscious.  We, ourselves, can damage the conscious by continuous disregarding what the conscious is saying to us. Jesus  was the light that ligheth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

What John was saying was... Everyone has a conscious, Paul,  in scriptures, states that man is given a measure of Faith.., Romans 12:3 (KJV)   For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

This measure of faith is given to each of us to profit with. This conscious, or the measure of faith is to help you and I to find that treasure that is call the will to do what is right and to know the truth. This is the where the Spirit draws all men to God.

John 12:32 (KJV)   And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Paul was not lifting up Jesus Christ, when he persecuted the Christians, as a Pharisees,  Paul was lifting up Satan in his efforts, although he didn’t believe that he was doing this. Paul, like a lot of those who take dominion over others,  Satan had, through the deception, taken the Law of God, which is Good, and turned it into an instrument that would be used to Kill those that opposed what was the way of life in that time. Paul had been convinced that he was totally right in what he was doing, Paul was earned  the credentials

that gave him power to, also gave Paul  the authority, to, take the lives of those... who were followers of Jesus.  The law was given to us that the truce breakers, who disobeyed, and harmed others.  The law was given to punish the ones that were disobedient to the truth. Man had not been able to, through his own efforts to keep the commandants. Man, with the help of Satan, Took  the Laws of God, and used it for a instrument to slay or, to kill, and  exterminate anybody. or  anyone that didn’t adhere to the actions of the flesh.

God has never been pleased with those deeds that came from fleshly thinking. God, had been displaced from the conscious of mankind, God had no room  in the world, according to way of the thinking of those who followed the ways of the flesh, who reasoned within themselves as to what should be the standards of mankind.  This is why, we cannot be friends of the world and be the friend of God. 

James 4:4 (KJV)   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.

Many today say that they are married to Jesus Christ and wear the name of a Christian, then they become friends of this word. Even when there is  mention the Holy Ghost, they will not say... Holy Ghost. They are ashamed to say Holy Ghost, instead they will say Holy Spirit. There is nothing wrong with saying... Holy Spirit, unless you feel that those who you are talking to will not receive you if you say Holy Ghost.  This goes back to Cain and his Offering. I am convinced that God would have accepted the Offering that Cain brought, if Cain’s heart was right. I don’t think that God considers what you bring to him, What God wants is a heart that is after God and that wants to please him.  Cain didn’t care what he brought to God. his heart was not thinking of God. Cain didn’t care or regard the sacrifices that would please God. Cain wanted to do and offer what he wanted to offer.  Able, on the other hand, from down deep into the heart, was aware of the conscious and the measure of faith, being a man that had his desires upon God, went to get the best that he could to offer as a sacrifice. Able had been told by Adam and Eve what Satan had been able to accomplish with them, Able took this to heart and he was afraid that if he was to listen to Satan’s lies that he would find that he would be in worse state.  Cain, when asked of God... “Where is  thy brother”... the first thing come out of his heart was a lie,  Cain knew that he had done wrong in slaying his brother, he then tried to cover up his sin. Cain knew that it was God talking to him, yet he had no regard for the truth. God wanted him to come to the truth and repent and go and make an atonement for his sins, Yet, Cain stood in the presence of God and said; “am I, my brother keeper”.

Genesis 4:9 (KJV)   And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

Today, we see churches that will, through some misunderstanding let someone go away and sometime never see them again. Yet, the sad part is that they don’t care if the individual ever comes back.  O the might act or say that they are sorry that this individual that has left, is sadly missed, yet they will not make any effort to fine what went wrong. Usually, what went wrong, was those that don’t care enough to see what the problem was that caused them to leave, the problem is them themselves. A Hospital and its staff, when they get to the point that they have no concern for their patients, then they wake up and realize that all the business has gone to  the point that some concern needs to come forth to find out what went wrong, then it is usually too late the do anything about it. Then there is a lot of blame placed on this one or that one until they stop placing the blame on each other and get to where they show concern, the place will not have a reputation that can be corrected, at least, it takes longer to restore the confidence to that Hospital and the staff. This is what takes place in churches, when there is no concern for others. 1 Cor. 9:12 (KJV) 

    If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

There are there in the churches those that have power. of have given themselves the power to take dominion over the flock. They believe that everyone is fortune to have them to be the head over the flock.  Many of time the flock is in such a shape through the efforts that Satan inflicts them with, that they, find themselves in jumping into a situation that the one they choose to be over them, will turn out to be the wolf in sheep clothing.

Philip. 2:4 (KJV) 

    Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

This is the heart of the whole message that Jesus brought to mankind. This was the environment of that in the Garden of Eden, until that Satan wanted to take the place of God, Satan did not prefer the interest of Adam and Eve, he was looking to his own selfish desires. Since Satan had corrupted his existence and the existence of the one third of the host of heaven, he had to justify himself and in justifying himself he caused the whole creation of God to come into a cursed environment. Can you see what pain and suffering  Satan brought with his actions. There is a lot of pain and suffering that are inflicted on the saints of God, by the actions of those who stand in the position of authority. that is if they have men’s admiration in mind.

Jude 1:16 (KJV) 

    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.

Cain had the admiration of himself and wanted everything out of his way that did not think and walk the way. Cain then, after the Killed, lied, then rather than say I am sorry, he said: Genesis 4:13 (KJV) 

    And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

God would have forgiven Cain had he turned to God for that forgiveness, yet he went off saying these words;

Genesis 4:14 (KJV) 

    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.

I have dealt with individuals in the church, who had a evil heart, the first thing they will say when reprimanded is. “you don’t love me and I can't stand here and take this’ then they will go and form an alliance and come back to take you away from their presence,  What they will do to get you away from is unimaginable to think that could be done.  Cain went off into the land of Nod. »Strong's Help nowd, Hebrew 5112, Strong's nowd,  node; [only defective nod, node]; from Hebrew 5110 (nuwd); exile :- wandering.

We notice in the scriptures that the first thing he did was to build a city. Genesis 4:17 (KJV) 

    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.

According to Strong’s, Cain put the noose on his around his own neck, then wanted to train up others to do the same thing, and sadly enough, he wanted to promote his name in his son. Cain wanted to establish his dominion by building a city and notice that his Son was given a name of  that of an antediluvian patriarch. I»Strong's Help patria, Greek 3965, Strong's patria,  pat-ree-ah'; as if feminine of a derivative of Greek 3962 (pater); paternal descent, i.e. (concretely) a group of families or a whole race (nation) :- family, kindred, lineage. 

Patriarch, is  the title that was given to David, meaning that he was the father of a nation, such as was Abraham.

We can plainly the nature of Satan that is coming through the flesh and what that nature does and the effects that it has with humanity. Let us examine these traits that started there when Can took it upon himself to do what he wanted to do. Galatians 5:19-6:3 (KJV) 

    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] 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. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. [26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

    [6:1] Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. [2] Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. [3] For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

When the Lord heard the words of Cain, the Lord had no other choice, except to enact, a punishment upon Cain. 

Genesis 4:11-15 (KJV)   And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

[12] 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.

[13] And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

[14] 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.

[15] 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.

Revelation  speaks these words...Rev. 13:18 (KJV)   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.

Men have been trying to know who would come up in the presence of the people, and acclaim to be the false prophet, that is to arise out of the Sea.

Rev. 13:1-10 (KJV)   And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Cain was the first murder and liar that was in the earth. He is referred to in the book of 1 John 3:15 (KJV)   Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Cain hated his brother, so the mark that was given to him signified to those who were of God and walked after the Spirit, would know that he had been driven away from eternal life.

 Matthew 7:16 (KJV)   Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

We as followers of Christ, that walk not after the flesh, will know those who are of God and those who are not of God. You will be able to identify them. This is where the importance of the Holy Ghost comes into the picture. Now I say to you, that, many spirits are gone out into the world.

1John 4:1 (KJV)   Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Are you able to discern between the evil spirit and the Spirit of God? Paul wrestled with this and he made a trip to the back side of the Arabian desert to get along with God.  Here is the patience of the Saints that is in the previous verse of Revelation.  If you go to man to find a solution to that you are confronted with, you will not be given a Revelation of what God wants to reveal to you. Paul said  that he did not confer with, even the other disciples about this matter of having a knowledge of what God wanted of him.

Galatians 1:17 (KJV)   Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

The trouble that we all have is. we want to look to someone who we believe is to be a great man of God and then we put all our confidence into that person. That person may have multitudes of people who fly and drive to great distance to just be in their meetings.  Remember that multitudes followed Jesus around  just to be fed and to see the miracles. There is nothing wrong of the miracles, let me make that clear, but if you and I only follow after them only, we will find ourselves looking not in the direction of the Spiritual things.  Will you pay for a plane ticket to fly across the country or to another country overseas, then in your own back yard, there will be someone who cannot afford a coat to put on their kids  when cold weather is present?  Jesus speaks about this in; Matthew 25:35-40 (KJV)   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:

[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

[37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

[38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

[39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

[40] 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.

Notice that he is referring to the Righteous as the ones who asked when did they do these thing not. The following was the results of those who thought that they had obtained mercy to do what they wanted and not to be concerned about the needs of those who are there in their own back yard. Matthew 25:41-46 (KJV)   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:

[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

[43] 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.

[44] 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?

[45] 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.

[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

It seems to say here that those who were righteous and did not these things would go into eternal life and not be held accountable for the deeds that they failed to do.  Just like the nation of Israel, they had obtained favor with God and had many a great miracles done for them by God and was delivered out of bondage and captivity many a times and God with all his Mercy showed great signs and wonders and it seem to say with these words that they found themselves being judged with judgment that they were not, as Cain, able to bear. 

1 Cor. 10:1-12 (KJV)   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;

[2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

[3] And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

[4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

[5] But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

[6] Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

[7] 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.

[8] Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

[9] Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

[10] Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

[11] 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.

[12] Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Another Passage states this: Matthew 8:12 (KJV)   But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

He is talking about the children of the kingdom of the Flesh, the kingdom of this word and those who look to man for their solutions, those who will not go to God and are not concerned for the lost and dying world. There is an example in Ezekiel that tell the conditions that must be met. Ezekiel 9:4 (KJV)   And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Why do you think that Paul was chosen by God to bear and to continue the reproaches of the Cross? Paul did what he did through Ignorance: Acts 26:11 (KJV)   And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

Acts 22:4 (KJV)   And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

Acts 22:3 (KJV)   I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

Paul stated that the Jews have a Zeal, but, not a wise zeal. Romans 10:1-13

(KJV)   Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

[2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

[3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

[4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

[5] For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

[6] But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

[7] Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

[8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

[11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

To you that have to see some miracle or you cannot believe, you need to find you a Arabian Desert and not a preacher that speaks fancy enticing words. who through the flesh will lead you away, from that where ye were clean escaped from the pollutions of this world.

2 Peter 2:18 (KJV)   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.

This is saying that when you trust in the arm of flesh that you live in error. When you live after the flesh and in error you have a curse.

 Romans 8:12 (KJV)   Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

We as Christians, that are led of the Spirit, and not led by the flesh, we are debtors, to Christ to perform that which is our reasonable service.

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

Do you present your body, or should I say, your life to please the personality movement that is being promoted today? Do you sigh for the abominations that is causing havoc in and among the churches? Are you looking for a role in the Church that will give you some preeminence  among the brothers of the church? Remember what Paul said about Diotrephes:

3 John 1:9-10 (KJV)   I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

[10] Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

We can see those who hold positions in the church, not all that hold those positions are like Diotrephes, but many like the authority that they are able to hold over the church. I have seen in times past those who would kill for the office that they occupied. I have seen some who walked around the outside of the church building with guns and threatened to come into the church if they, that hold positions were removed from their positions. My God, are we standing  in the presence of the judgment of God like the Jews of the flesh, those that stood there when Christ came to bring them the truth and they, the fleshly Jew, who thought that their position was threatened took Jesus and delivered him to Pilot and cried, “Crucify Him” are we crucifying our brothers and sisters that stand among us. Do we smite the Shepherd? I am not talking of a Preacher, I am talking about the Chief Shepherd. when we cast out, by our ways, those who are hungry for God to feed them, we are Smiting the Lord Jesus.

The judgment took around seventy years after to take its toll on the nation of Israel. 2 Peter 2:3 (KJV)   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.

Who are these that make merchandise of you? What is their gain of making merchandise of you. Jesus confronted the Pharisees in the temple and found that, they, made merchandise of those in those days.

 

Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV)   And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

[13] And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Today you can buy a tape or get any information that can be imagined. I am not condemning that which is written by man if it is inspired of God, I do not approve of those who make money and support themselves with a Lavishly  life that will make them, who claim to have the blessing of God bestowed upon them, and take that from the one who barley can put Grocery’s on the table. They as the Bible says,

2 Peter 2:19 (KJV)   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.

When we look to the outward appearance, we can be deceived into about anything. The word warns us not to be deceived.

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

There has been written many version of the Bible and I have somewhat to say, and as you can see, I do not care for those revisions as they take away from the Bible the real meaning, and convert it to what the flesh or those who want to and are not able to understand, they are those that have their understanding darkened.

 Ephes. 4:18 (KJV)   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:

The penalty for taking from and adding to the Bible is: Rev. 22:18 (KJV)   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:

Why can’t I understand the Bible? This is what I have heard from people for many years. The reason is that you do not walk after the Spirit. We are

 promised that the Holy Ghost will teach us all things, This is not a man that speaks great swelling and alluring words that wants to make merchandise of you. Please’ wake up, and  find the Voice of God. Do not be like Eve, who listened to the Voice of Satan. Paul said it and we should follow his advice.

Acts 26:29 (KJV)   And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

We are warned that Satan has the ability to deceive, and to portray himself as a disciple, not as of the Devil, but of the Lord. 2 Cor. 11:14-15 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

[15] 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.

Satan is shown here in the Ministers that believe a lie and go about to deceive you into thinking that you have life, when you do not have life eternal.

Romans 2:28 (KJV)   For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

Romans 8:8-9 (KJV)   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.

2 Cor. 10:3 (KJV)   For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)   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.

Galatians 6:12 (KJV)   As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Philip. 3:4 (KJV)   Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

1 Peter 4:1-2 (KJV)   Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

[2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

1 John 4:2-3 (KJV)   Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

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

When you look the Nation of Israel, what is your opinion? are you looking for the Israel that was guilty of Nailing Christ to the Cross, who denied that Jesus was the Messiah. These same Jews that are Jews of the outward  appearances are still today denying that Jesus Christ, I am talking of the Messiah, has come in the flesh. Yes, they will admit, that Jesus was a very influential  man, that is all he is to them, and today they are still saying to him, we don’t know from whence he is.  Paul said it plain, Paul was a Jew, going about to establish his own ways with a zeal, this zeal he had, was a unwise zeal. Paul said that God had not forsaken the Jew. Paul had not been forsaken, Paul, recognized the light that shown down from heaven and he listened intensively to the Voice of God. His superiors had gotten him nowhere and he could have like them and rejected the Gift that God had for him. God sent his son to the Jews and they rejected the Gift that God had given them. Paul did not reject and he heard from on High and the Voice that spoke there at the River of Jordan is the Same Voice that is as near to us as our Mouth and is Speaking to our Hearts today and today many reject this Holy Ghost and shun it as something that is not accepted in society. The Holy Ghost is God Himself. God wants to Abide with you and I, What we need to do is Prepare Him a residence, we need to clean up the House that we claim that Christ lives in. we need to look and prepare him a True Heart that is sprinkled with the blood, not of malice or hatred. but of a true spirit of love. They that pleas the flesh and go about to establish their own ways cannot and do not know God. 

2 John 1:7 (KJV)   For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

[2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

 

[3] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

 

[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

 

[5] 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.

 

[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

My son and I was returning home from College today and the discussion came up about Physics. He said, “Dad I will have to take Physics in order to graduate in the course that I am taking”. We begin to discuss some things that I think that is and will be beneficial to those who read this document. My son has a tutor that tutors him in Algebra. The tutor said that she only got a grade of 48 on the test that she took in Physics, then he went on to say that she had the privilege of taking the test home with her to review and to be able to correct her mistakes and then summit the results once again to the instructor and  that she was able to raise the grade from 48 to 68. This would let her pass the exam. At that I begin to explain that the subject is a very hard subject and since it is required in the course that the intuition knew that she would probably never use the contains in the course in her everyday life. I explained that it would be like someone who was to be president of the United States and had the ability to do the job, but couldn’t wash a load of clothes in a General Electric dryer. Since he had to know how to wash clothes in a General Electric dryer, he couldn’t be president. We are acquainted with many subjects in our Education endeavors that might never or hardly ever be put to use in our particular work field. The colleges expose us to different areas of the subjects of the job classifications in this world. That brought up the thought that I began to explain to my son, the thought of the existence of the two inward struggles of our very being and accomplishments. The Apostle Paul, being taught by the finest Teacher of the Law, and I might say, gave to his ability the credentials that did qualify him to accomplish the very task that was desired of Paul. At that time his name was Saul, He was of Tarsus. Paul set at the feet of Gamaliel, who, in that time was  one that had the wisdom of the world and had dispensed that wisdom to Saul. Saul then took that wisdom and with the help of those who was his acquaintances, went out into the word to accomplish his task, We might say that he was great in his task, except that he had not, while knowing the wisdom of the world, he had no understanding of the deep hidden things of his own self. In every one that is born into this world there is a God given gift the lies deep into the inner being of that Soul. Jesus was the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

That means that when we are come into this world that God has given us Life. God has given us the ability to know both good and evil. God wanted Adam and Eve to only know Good, and  when we are infants that is formed in the womb, we haven't yet done good or Evil.

Romans 9:11 (KJV)   (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

At a time of our beginning we do not have the knowledge to do either good or Evil. Adam when he was created he was taken from the Dust of the Earth and God breathed upon him and he became a living Soul. Genesis 2:7 (KJV)   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.

 

1 Cor. 15:45 (KJV)   And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

 

This is the difference or should I say the Two members that lie inside of each of us. You can be a living soul and not be a living Spirit. This was what the purpose of the coming of Christ unto this world, Jesus was to come and make each of us a Living Spirit, or should I say, a quickening spirit.  There are thirteen references to being quickened in the Bible and twelve of those references are written by David in the Psalms. and the other one is written by Paul in the letter to the Romans. This first one that David wrote in Psalms 71:20 states that the Lord God had showed to him great and sore troubles. Haven’t we, as Christians, known great and sore troubles?. We have been exposed to enough knowledge to make one think in himself that there would not be any good come from some of the troubling experiences that we encounter. 

Psalm 71:20 (KJV)   Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

The Apostle Paul had the world by the tail as the saying goes, or at least, he thought he had the world by the tail. That is, until he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. There on the road to Damascus, he met up with that Quickening Spirit. Paul was alienated from God, although he had sat and was taught by Gamaliel, he had not yet known the one that had given him light and had made him a vessel for the special work that was to be done for the Glory of God.  

Psalm 80:18 (KJV)   So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 

The Psalmist is saying here, we must be Quickened by the Lord or we cannot accomplish any good in this life. In the deep inner man lies the ability to accomplish anything, both good and evil.

Genesis 11:6 (KJV)   And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

If God lets us continue on in our own abilities, we too could, and would not have any boundaries. Paul thought that there were no boundaries to him. God even set boundaries on the Devil.

Daniel 11:45 (KJV)   And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Satan in all of his majesty only was given the liberty to bring to pass that which David had hoped for. David had  in his inner man, a seed of faith, and David longed to see this seed grow up as a tender plant.

God through the Holy Ghost, gave the prophet Isaiah the words that would assure each soul that had come into the word, that there would be hope, and that hope was Jesus Christ. There was no beauty in him as he was nailed to the cross. His own follows, even his mother stood far off and wondered. He was covered with the shame of the sins of the world, Satan was leaving on the Son of God the very marks that he has left on mankind since Cain rose up and Slain his brother Able. 

Isaiah 53:2 (KJV)   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.

Paul saw firsthand the results of his own destination for himself and to those who followed after the ways of the world, and those who followed after the hope that the Psalmist followed after. Paul read from the book of Psalms but the sin of the flesh hid from him the real Quickening Spirit.

Man comes into the world with the ability to achieve just about anything that he desires.

I was explaining to my son that some have more difficulty than others, in achieving their desires. Paul said, after he became converted, what he would do, that he did it not. and what he didn’t want to do, that he did. Paul concluded that that it wasn’t him that was in control. The thing that controlled him, was Sin.

Romans 7:17 (KJV)   Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Romans 7:20 (KJV)   Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

This is what David had trouble with. David came to the same conclusion that Paul came to and that you and I have to come too. If the Lord does not help us we are nothing and are failure’s in this world and would go back and sin against the Lord and without the Help of the Lord, we would all perish.

The Prophet Habakkuk stated in prophesying of the very thought of man when he is faced with the forces of the world and the forces of God’s Spirit, he shall pass over the boundaries that have been set by God and then he becomes a offence.

Habakkuk 1:11 (KJV)   Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. 

 

Each one of us can pass  over the same boundaries somewhere in life. Some choose early in life that they will go after the world and care not for the things that pertain to God. Some will go through life and never make a decision to follow after the ways of God. David wanted the help of the lord with him always. David knew, without the Lord, he could not and would not ever enter into the presence of God the Father. Man was driven out into the worldly environment and became familiar with every trial and temptation.  Thanks to God, for providing a escape to each and every one.

1 Cor. 10:13 (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.

As Paul earned his degree in this world, we too look to our intuitions for the wisdom to go about our everyday life. What we need to do is as David and Paul  both realized, we need to know and look down in the depth of our Soul and realize that it is God that directs our everyday paths.

King Solomon had given instructions to his son, he said to get wisdom, but he also said to get Understanding.

Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)   Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

It is good to have knowledge, but without understanding, you really don’t have anything.  Peter come to know the wisdom giver and seen it in action first hand when he saw the miracles and the great blessings bestowed upon the people as Jesus walked among the world and the world wondered at the things that he did. Many that did not have the understanding that they needed, went away and followed not. Peter and the others that knew and saw Jesus as very human, and yet Lord, needed to have their understanding opened and needed to have their soul quickened. Jesus asked the question,

John 21:5 (KJV)   Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

There they were, all of them weary from the toil of the earthly choirs, they had lost hope and this Jesus was taken from their presence, they felt hopeless and went back to doing what they were accustomed  to doing, Many  after they hear the Gospel turn toward the living way and when temptations come, they turn away and go back into the ways of the world, and as the Psalmist said...

Psalm 119:25 (KJV)   My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

What I was saying to my son, coming from the college, is that each of us need to take the wisdom, which is hard to obtain, we need to take the wisdom with understanding and realize that, even though, we are wise in the things of this life, we need to be wise in knowing that it is the Spirit of the Lord that directs our paths. God will lead us by the still waters. God will restore our soul. God will provide us a table in the presence of our enemies. Our cup will run over. We will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Goodness and Mercy shall follow us all of the days of our life.

 

Psalm 119:37 (KJV)   Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

We are to first come to God and believe that he is God and a reward to those that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6 (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.

Most institutions want you to achieve your Goal, but you must choose to achieve that goal in a manner that will be a benefit to, not only you, but will benefit others in this life also. Remember that none of us live to ourselves. James 1:22 (KJV)   But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

1 John 2:27 (KJV)   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.

 

Psalm 119:40 (KJV)   Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Precepts: »Strong's Help piqquwd, Hebrew 6490, Strong's piqquwd,  pik-kood'; or piqqud, pik-kood'; from Hebrew 6485 (paqad); properly appointed, i.e. a mandate (of God; plural only, collective for the Law) :- commandment, precept, statute.

David, like us today, in the flesh was very weak and sinful. David committed sins of Murder, Adultery. David was guilty of trying to cover up his sins and hide them from Uriah.

2 Samuel 11:11 (KJV)   And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

David had lusted and coveted Uriah’s wife and this is strictly forbidden in the ten commandants:

Exodus 20:17 (KJV)   Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

David did the unimaginable sin. If anyone deserved to be destroyed, you would have thought that this would be the one that would have gotten him destroyed. After he had committed the sin of Adultery, David then went on to try to hide the sin. David could not hide the thing that had taken place. Bath Sheba had become pregnant with David’s child. David could not get Uriah to lie with his wife while the soldiers that was fighting the battles at that time, and Uriah was committed to what was honorable, in this he was more righteous than David was. David went a step further to add to his sins. David commanded that Uriah be put into the battle front in the most fierce action. David  now wanted to get Uriah killed.  By having him killed, this would free Bath Sheba so that he could take her to his wife. Now the conclusion of this sin was, David, when asked of God, what penalty would he choose, he chose to let God make the choice for him. It was strange that he, after committing the sins like he did, now he says to God, you choose the penalty for me. David was in essence the Law in himself. David was like us today, he thought that he could do anything and get away with it. Jimmy Swaggart made the statement when he committed Adultery, he said: quote... “ I thought that I could get away with anything”.  God has said that we can be sure that our sins will find us out.

Numbers 32:23 (KJV)   But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

We are to possess the Kingdom. we are commanded to Love one another. This love to one another is not as one man said, I love my neighbors wife. What God did for us was exemplify his love on the Cross, and David knew that if God did not quicken his flesh and keep him in the righteousness of God that he was doomed to hell. Notice in the next verse that he wanted to be Quickened after God’s loving-kindness'. No man can give this to anyone, this type of Quickening can come only through the Holy Ghost. This is what and the reason that Paul wanted to know whether the certain disciples had received the Holy Ghost since they believed. Today, we see many that go to different churches and believe many different types of Doctrines and are bound by those traditions that have been taught by those who are there, deceived, and are deceiving those who sit at their feet, just as Paul sat at the feet of Gamaliel and was deceived, these today are being deceived. The question that needs to be asked, is, Have you Received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?. Paul believed on God and went to commit murder and went against the commandants of God. Paul thought that he was the Law, and was  in one sense, not held accountable by those who through the powers of Darkness, took what God had given and turned it into self motivated actions, those actions was not bringing Glory to God in any way. Those actions were directed by Satan. Satan has took the Kingdom and possessed it up until John the Baptist.

 Matthew 11:12 (KJV)   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Satan has his own Kingdom and his kingdom is of this earth. Satan met up with his Superior at the Cross. Satan now does not, I emphasize, does not have access to the Kingdom of God anymore. Satan is out to kill and destroy, only if we allow him to deceive us. I say this very strongly that you will not through mankind, be able to get the strength that you need to overcome Satan. This strength only comes through the Holy Ghost. This is the Quickening Spirit, Not as the first Adam, but the Second Adam, which was Jesus Christ. Have ye Received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?. It will be the Holy Ghost that sweeps down over your soul and Quickens your mortal bodies and make you a flaming torch for the Lord. God help each of us to realize that this world will soon be dissolved. If your treasures are here in this life and not in Heaven, then you will be dissolved along with the earth, but remember you will stand before the Judgment of God and be judged. It is important for our sins to go to the judgment before the judgment takes place. Jesus took our sins and took them and cast them into the depth of the Sea, this is the Sea of Forgiveness and this is what is needed for you and I.

Psalm 119:88 (KJV)   Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Exodus 25:21-22 (KJV)   And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

The Law that Moses received was the Testimony that God gave to the Israelites to guide them to the redeemer that was to come. That redeemer  was Jesus Christ. 

[22] And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. The ark of the testimony was the very essence of God coming and communing with mankind. We today are over comers by our Testimony. I want to point out that the Testimony that we put forth, is it much of the time the testimony of what we are thinking in our minds, this is not necessary the testimony that is of God. All through the bible the commandant came to man through man. The prophet, if he was sensitive to Gods spirit would only speak the things that God gave him to speak. When Moses was sent by God to the children of Israel there in bondage  in Egypt, he asked God, who shall I say that has sent me. God replied to Moses... Just say... “I Am hath sent ye.’ When the I Am says for us to go and speak, then and then only will God bring to pass the words that we speak.  We are not to speak as speaking into the air. 1 Cor. 14:9 (KJV)   So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

There is confusion today in the mist of the churches as carnal minded people, who cannot discern the voice of God from the voice of Satan. When God speaks through the Holy Ghost there is no doubt as to the authority of that voice. I have been in meetings where the sound system went dead and at that precise moment the Holy Ghost spoke through and individual and the voice was so clear that there was no need for a sound system. Everyone in the place was moved upon by the Holy Ghost and people, including the ministers and the pastors headed to the Alter. God came and met  with us just like he did there in the tabernacle in the wilderness and today the mercy seat is still above and the Lord Jesus is seated in the Mercy seat. His presence is there with the Father and he is continuing to make intercessions for us. Where is our intercessory testimony? We seem to be so busy for the lord that we forget that God is only interested in one thing. that is the redemption of lost souls. God is aware of all the things that we suffer by the hand of Satan. Most of us wonder what and where did God go. We feel that God has left us. You can be sure that God is touched by our infirmities and knows just where we live and he knows our phone number. but he don’t call on a telephone, he calls us by his hot line and that line is the Holy Ghost. God doesn’t deliver by great shaking experiences.

 Zech. 4:6 (KJV)   Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

God will not deliver the United States and has not delivered the United States or any nation with the military might. It is not Bombs and missiles that gets the job done. It is the Spirit of God that takes us to victory. My concern is that the people of the United States, and the people of all other nations that have known what God has done for them, that they have put their trust in their military might. We now find that sin is on a rampage among the common people and those that God has called and forgiven, that they turn back to the rudiments of the world and forget that it was Jesus Christ that redeemed them.

 2 Chron. 7:14 (KJV)   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.

This promise is to any and all who have forgotten who had delivered them, just as the Israelites forgot their maker, I am afraid that many have forgotten their maker.

Exodus 31:18 (KJV)   And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

 

Exodus 34:29 (KJV)   And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

Psalm 19:7 (KJV)   The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

Isaiah 8:16 (KJV)   Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

 

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

 

 

John 3:33 (KJV)   He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

 

 

John 5:34 (KJV)   But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

 

 

Rev. 15:5 (KJV)   And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

 

 

 

Rev. 19:10 (KJV)   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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psalm 119:107 (KJV)   I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word.

 

Psalm 119:149 (KJV)   Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O Lord, quicken me according to thy judgment.

Romans 8:11 (KJV)   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

 

Let us say as the Psalmist said, and the Apostle confirmed, be Quickened by the Spirit that is in us.

 

Paul saw another member inside him, that is the member that is infused into our lives and can only live there by the willingness of us to allow him to dwell there. God the Father and the Holy Ghost wants to abide with and inside of us and wants to fellowship with us as we journey through this life.

These three are one and they want the same thing. They want to, after this journey that we are on, comes to the end, deliver you to the Father of Love and Mercy. Not only do they desire to be present in our lives, they want to guide us in truth so that our time that is spent here on earth, can be a blessing to ourselves and to others. The only way some individuals will ever come to know God is for you and I to allow the Spirit to radiate through our lives unto them. We are epistles.

2 Cor. 3:2 (KJV)   Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

We must understand what is involved in the quickening  that the psalmist was referring too.

»Strong's Help zoopoieo, Greek 2227, Strong's zoopoieo,  dzo-op-oy-eh'-o; from the same as Greek 2226 (zoon) and Greek 4160 (poieo); to (re-) vitalize (literal or figurative) :- make alive, give life, quicken.

God will raise us up at the resurrection of the saints, and will transform those who are still alive at his coming.

 1 Cor. 15:51-57 (KJV)   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Paul wanted to reveal to those and to us that this resurrection that he was talking about was a mystery, that is, a mystery to those who, had not had their understanding opened. We know that the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:8 (KJV)   So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

As the disciples looked upon Jesus as he walked among them; they were guilty of looking at him in the human form and by being in the form of flesh... it was hard to relate to them the spiritual man that he was. This is why that Paul wanted to make sure that we know Christ after the Spiritual, and, not after the mortal man.

2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV)   Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

This is why the disciples turned and walked away in sorrow, when Jesus was crucified, they had their hope based on what they saw with their eyes. This is the message that I want to convey to you, you that run here and there, and chase after great men of admiration, you will find that when the fair they are gone from your mist, you will feel empty and sorrow will take hold of you. This is what those who were on the road to Emmaus.

 Luke 24:13-29 (KJV)   And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

[14] And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

[15] And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

[16] But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

Notice here, that they were sorrowful and their hope had come to a standstill. Jesus, the man, notice this was what the related to, the Man, not this man called  Jesus, a great prophet indeed, this is the point I want you to understand, the great man that utters the words of God and does many miracles in your presence, many a times and in many saints, that the man, not the Spirit, takes the upfront position and receives the Glory instead of the Spirit, which is what moves the mortal man, Let this sink down deep into your understanding, that Jesus would and did not Glorify himself while he was in the human form. Jesus asked the Father to Glorify him.

 

John 17:5 (KJV)   And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

What Jesus wanted was the Quickening Spirit of the Father to Make him Alive beyond that of what he was, and what he was, was the word made flesh. Jesus was in the flesh and we must remember that while he was in the flesh that the power of God the Father was given to him to do the things that he did.

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

 

This power was given from Heaven and not the Power of the Earth and the

Principalities of Satan. These, that were walking and talking to each other, had not yet been filled with the Holy Ghost, and they couldn’t understand why that Jesus should be killed and just jerked out of their presence. You need to relate in the same way that they related in order to understand what was taking place in their minds.  When we hear the word of God  and come to the knowledge of the saving grace of God.

 God  wants to  set us apart for a greater experience. Satan at that time comes and with the forces of evil, he is able to snatch or grab, or to steal that word from us. This is why the parable of the seed was given to us , that we might have our understanding enlightened and that when we hear the word; that the word will find its way down deep into our hearts and not of that of our mind, your mind can imagine anything and does, so we need a deeper understanding of the Spirit. I emphasize that a believer needs to have the same experience that that those two had as they communed with each other on the road to Emmaus. If you will commune, that is the opening door that the Spirit needs. These two were talking about what had happened and was curious and sorrowful, this was the promise that God had made, that he was near to a sorrowful, or a contrite, Spirit.

 

 Psalm 34:18 (KJV)   The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

 

Isaiah 66:2 (KJV)   For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Here we have the two verses coming alive on the road while these followers of Christ are communing  and wondering what will take place next.  The Bible states that our minds should be upon the Lord;

 

Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)   Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

 

[17] And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

 

[18] And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

 

They only recognized Jesus as the Savior that was in human form. Here he was, as he promised, walking along with them, but they in their sorrow, was so involved in trying to figure out what went wrong and what they were to do next, they didn’t realize that he was there with them, walking along with them. His promise to never leave them, and to be with them always was coming to pass at that very moment. Does this fit our description, as we go along life and think that Jesus is nowhere and that we feel left along and don’t know what to do next. Could you and I ever realize that Christ is there. You might say how do I know that he is there?

One way to know that he is there is to Praise him, no matter what comes your way. Life holds many disappointments, and. if we let the disappointments take charge of our lives, we too, will not recognize Christ. If we need a miracle to know that Jesus is in our presence, we are very weak in faith. Miracles comes as the results of Faith, Faith is a substance, and not a myth.

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

As Jesus.

[19] And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

[20] And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

[21] But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done.

Here they are, reasoning among themselves, thinking that he was a deliver like Moses, and would have redeemed Israel. How carnal could they be? Like a lot of believers today, that think that all their hope is determined by that of what happens over there in the land of Israel. We as humans read in the Bible, especially in the Law, where it talks about the nation of Israel and we cannot see that the nation of Israel that the Bible is referring to is The Israel of Above and not the Israel of the Earth. Remember it was the Jews that said to Jesus,. “ Crucify Him” .  It was the Jews that Jesus had come to and these ones that stood in front of him denied him and wanted no part of him.  Jesus even called them the Devil, or the children of the Devil, I ask you how Holy was Jerusalem at that time. The only Holiness that could be found, was not in the Temple made with hands, the Holiness that Jesus found came from the hearts of those who came to sit at the feet of the man called Jesus. Even those who sat at his feet had lost hope when he was taken from their mist, as these on the road.  I have some strong words to you that hide under the skirts of a carnal Jew. You need to be filled with the knowledge of the Holy Ghost and realize that your hope is not in the flesh and this fleshly kingdom of this present world. Your hope is in the Israel of Above.

Galatians 4:26 (KJV)   But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Galatians 4:22-5:1 (KJV)   For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

 

[23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

Here in the next verse is what  You that trust in the Israel of the flesh need to Compare.

[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. »Strong's Help allegoreo, Greek 238, Strong's allegoreo,  al-lay-gor-eh'-o; from Greek 243 (allos) and agoreo (to harangue [compare Greek 58 (agora)]); to allegorize :- be an allegory [the Greek word itself].

You have the covenant that was given to Abraham which was.

 Genesis 17:10-14 (KJV)   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.

[11] And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

[12] 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.

[13] 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.

[14] 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.

What you are looking at, when you look toward Jerusalem for your hope, Is the Circumcision of the flesh and have made that the token of what should be in your heart. Remember, that God, gave this covenant to Abraham as a shadow of the Circumcision that would come to those who had believed that Jesus, who was the seed, that was to come. would come to fulfill the promise that was given to Abraham. This promise was not to seeds of many, but to only one seed, and that Seed was Jesus, and that seed was in Abraham and when God wanted Abraham to be circumcised, this was an outward shadow of the circumcision of the foreskin of the Heart. God at that time, by having them to circumcise the foreskin of each male, wanted to show that the man that was circumcised of the Heart would be, as the male that was circumcised, would be able to perform better and able to produce children without difficulty. The same applies to those who have had the doubt erased from their heart, and their understanding, opened. Those who are of the seed of Abraham, including those who were bought, and we today are bought with a price:

 

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

1 Cor. 7:23 (KJV)   Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

It doesn’t make any difference to God, whether you are a Jew or Gentile or Greek, black or white or what race you are, you will have and do have the same right to access the Throne of Grace. Can’t you see what is happening today?. The same thing among the churches is taking place just like it was when Christ came and died. Carnality had set itself up in the Temple that was made by hands, and also, in doing so, it set itself up in the Temple of God. This temple that stood there was destroyed. Jesus said that the Temple that stood there would not be standing. Why would he say such a thing. It simply was that this is where Satan had made himself a haven and was in the process of doing what the Prophets had Prophesied. Isaiah 14:13-14 (KJV)   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Satan entered into the flesh and by doing so he was able to exalt the flesh to a point that the flesh got more Glory than God did. Satan, the Abomination that maketh desolate was there in the heart of those Jews that trusted in formalities. God  had given the covenant and the Law to guide mankind back to the Father by dealing with man through all the failures and the reason of the Law, was to point mankind to Christ that was to come and to let man know how sinful that he was. In other words, the law was to the Lawless. Man, has always taken the commandants and without mercy, went about holding power over those who are weaker vessels, this is why the women of today are being delivered of the bondage that has for so long been placed upon them. Women want freedom, some women want to take this freedom, just like a lot of Christians want to take their freedom, and do what they want to, and hold power over others or to use their liberality to gain superiority over each other. The Jews, when they took dominion over other, which they were very good at, they built a wall between the Gentiles. This wall was so high that the Gentile, especially the women, couldn’t climb over it. Jesus came and removed that wall. The only way that you and I can get over that wall is to go through the Holy Ghost. This was what took Paul away from killing the saints and turned him into another and the right direction. This experience was what was to take place shortly, to those who were communing with each other. They were thinking. as the flesh would think, that Jesus was to show special favor to the Jews and sit up a kingdom for just them. To their surprise the kingdom that was to be set up, was there walking along side of them. The Jews always made it clear that they had Abraham as their father and they were right, Abraham was their father, but remember the one was born of the bondwomen, representing the flesh, and the Jews by denying Jesus was and did put their hope in the flesh and this made them  in bondage to the flesh and made them a child of Ishmael.

Esau was a portrayal of the flesh. Remember he sold his birthright. Genesis 25:31-34 (KJV)   And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

[32] And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

[33] And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

[34] Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

One would think, how foolish, but are we today selling our spiritual birthright for a few moments of pleasure?. Many  today sell their soul to Satan for a fix or sex, or many  other things that comes to us to tempt us.

Mount Sinai, where the Law was given, was the place that God come close to destroying everyone except Moses, At the Cross, God was once again getting ready to destroy mankind, but this time, as he told Moses, I will make a new Nation with you.

Deut. 9:14 (KJV)   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.

As God wanted to make a new nation, God did through his Son, raised a Spiritual Nation up, and that nation consists of all mankind that will come to him and  confess their sins and be converted and filled with his Holy Ghost. The next verse was the promise to the Greek and Jew ..Gentile. these two that communed realized that Jesus came not only to the Jews but wanted all to come to the Promise.

1 John 2:25 (KJV)   And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

This promise is fulfilled in the next two verses.

Genesis 21:13 (KJV)   And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

Deut. 4:34 (KJV)   Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

As God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, Egypt is mentioned in

Ezekiel.

Ezekiel 31:18 (KJV)   To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

Paul referred to this trusting in the flesh.

Philip. 3:4 (KJV)   Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

The Jews, there when Christ came, had been deceived, just like a lot today is being deceived into trusting in the flesh.

The next verse makes this plain and simply that we, when we trust in the flesh, we are the children of Agar. We place ourselves into bondage and cannot please God and this is in my opinion why that our prayers are not answered.

[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

This next verse is those who have the Spirit and who walk not after the flesh.

[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

When someone tells you that, comparing you to that of themselves, who are not wise,(2 Cor. 10:12 (KJV)   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. ) remember this verse.

[27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

You and I are the Israel of Above, if so that the Spirit dwells in us. Romans 8:9 (KJV)   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.

[28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

END NOV 2,02

[29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

 

[30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.

 

[31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

 

[5:1] Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

 

 

 

 

 

[22] Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

 

[23] And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

 

[24] And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

 

[25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

 

[26] Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

 

[27] And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

 

[28] And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

 

[29] But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

Here is a clear illustration of how those that had their understanding opened wanted Christ to come into their place of abode. You and I need to ask the Holy Ghost to come into our hearts and Abide with us. When the Holy Ghost comes to take up residence in our hearts, it brings God to us through Jesus Christ. We think sometime that we can earn the right for Christ to come to us. We are not able to work or earn this right. This right is given solely on the willingness of us to let God  take up his abode in our hearts. We must understand that God Is Love.

1 John 4:8 (KJV)   He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

To know God is to Love, not only God, but we must love others also, we must love even our enemy’s. Our first love that we have when God takes his abode, is pure. God's love is undefiled. There is nothing that can separate us from this pure love. In the book of  revelation, it was written to those in Ephesus, that some  had lost their first love. They were commanded  that they must repent.

 Rev. 2:4-5 (KJV)   Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. When we first repent and accept Christ, we come to him with repentance, We are confessing our faults and sins to him. At that time Christ takes all our sins away and puts them into the sea of forgiveness. Our sins  are never to be remembered anymore.

Some would say that, since God always loves, we cannot be separated from God. The next verse sheds some insight as to what is expected of us when we leave our first love and the results that will follow, it, we do not correct this state that we have fallen into.

[5] 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.

Notice he said that he would remove Thy Candlestick  out of his place. God has given us his Spirit and that Spirit is the Candle Stick that is to shine out to the world.

 Luke 11:33 (KJV)   No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

Here we can see from the word of God that it indicated that the one that is to let his light shine, he got this light and placed it on a candlestick. You must seek the Holy Ghost when you receive salvation, through forgiveness and that you can and will receive it by asking for it, then you must set it in your heart so that the light of the flame of the Holy Ghost will shine and that the light must not be hid.  The saying goes like this, “Use it or Lose it.”

Water that stands still will stagnate and will not be fit for use to quench a thirst. This is what has happened to a lot of individuals that God has forgiven. If  I were to deposit into the bank a million dollars and make the deposit account in your name and hand you the passbook and tell you all you need to do is go to the bank and withdraw from the account the amount needed to suffice your needs, and you never go and make a withdraw, you could boast of how much money you have in the bank, but you  would not benefit from the money. The Holy Ghost is a deposit of God. the Holy Ghost is the passbook to your account that God the father has deposited into your account and God expects for you and I to withdraw from that account so that we are able to distribute to others that have not. This is the lighted candle that God lights in our hearts and God expects us to let that light shine to others and that they will have hope too.

If we were to play the lottery and would win a multiple million dollar winning ticket we would claim the winnings and would tell others that we have won and would share with others the winnings. God has made us winners of more than a lottery. God has through the Holy Ghost taken us up to the throne of God and made us to sit in Heavenly places.

 Ephes. 2:6 (KJV)   And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

The thief on the cross was told by Jesus,

Luke 23:43 (KJV)   And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Some said I got it all when I got saved. Yes that is true but, did God take you and  all that he gave you and filled you up to the brim and make you ministers of righteousness? You had to be equipped to become effective in the work that God had called you to. Peter was forgiven and was a child of God and Jesus kept him, but, in order  for Peter to minister to the needs of others, Peter had to be filled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost and there were 120 believers that had been forgiven and they believed on Jesus and followed him. These one hundred twenty waited as the Lord commanded them to,

Acts 1:4 (KJV)   And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

The trouble of many today, they want to receive from God the Forgiveness, but they don’t want to go to the bank and make a withdraw from the account. They want to hide the money and want to tell others of how much money they have in the bank. Some think that they can hide it and like the one mentioned in the bible, find themselves having their account transferred to someone else.

Luke 8:18 (KJV)   Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Acts 1:20 (KJV)   For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Judas came to Jesus, and carried the money bag, but he was not willing for Christ to come into his heart and dwell there. Judas fell because he sided with the Devil. Notice that Judas had every opportunity to do and receive what Jesus had and would have given him. He lost his love and choose to let Satan come into his heart.

John 13:27 (KJV)   And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

We cannot have two masters.

Matthew 6:24 (KJV)   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.

If you love this life and hold onto life as a security blanket, you will lose your life. This brings us to the Point that many have fallen  victim too. Remember that I have said that no flesh can enter into the kingdom of God and that flesh and blood cannot please God. Then why do we put our trust in the flesh and go after the things of the flesh? Why do we look to great personality’s for our answers and our hope.  This Paul had to say about anyone that could hope in the flesh. 

Philip. 3:4 (KJV)   Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

You and I cannot put our trust in the flesh.

Jeremiah 17:5 (KJV)   Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

I ask the question, can a man’s heart depart from the Lord.  You might say that Jesus became the curse for us and that we can do and depart from him and we will not ever be separated from the Lord. You will never be separated from the love of God. God loved the World that he gave his only begotten son. Does this mean that everyone that is in the world will enter into Heaven to be with the Lord? Certainly not, and neither will those that have come to God and have been baptized and confessed their sins, who have the forgiveness of God. Some of them will draw back. Hebrews 10:38-39 (KJV)   Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Many will receive the word, but because of trials and tribulation, will make a choice to draw back and not serve Jesus.  Mark 4:5 (KJV)   And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

Mark 4:16 (KJV)   And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

When the word falls into rich soil and soil that has potential to grow and produce the word will take root and begin to bring forth fruit that others will want to eat of.

Matthew 13:23 (KJV)   But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

I can hope that this word that I have written will find its way into good soil, a good heart that will receive it with gladness and that the word will take root in your life and begin to produce fruit for God.  I am convinced that as Paul, asked the Question, “Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed”, we need to ask any and everyone that has called on God for forgiveness the same question. We might be surprised to hear that they too, have not heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Why is ice cream socials been chosen in place of Holy Ghost revival?. It is simply that God has warned and they have not heeded to the warning, and have turned to other things to justify themselves. Look at the Pharisees and you can see clearly that formality will take the place of the Holy Ghost and that the light of the Holy Ghost will be removed from his candlestick. That candlestick is you and I, and when that light or we might say, oil, has run out, we are not able to trim our lights and when the bride groom comes into our mist we will not be able to see the way. Those that trimmed their lamps had no Oil. They wanted to get their oil from others. Many today don’t have Oil in their lamps, or should I say, have the Holy Ghost in their lives. These run to and fro to great preachers and go here and there to find an experience, they are looking for action, and a person that can and will tell them what they want to hear. They want to see miracles and it takes that type of service for them to continue. I am not against miracles, but if you can't continue without miracles, you are empty inside and the oil has run dry. Remember what Saul did, he got David to play on the musical instrument  to calm the evil spirit that had come into him. Do we have a  evil spirit in us and need to hear the music at church or a gospel singing to sooth our conciseness? Can you hear the voice of the bridegroom? Have you checked your vessel lately?. Remember that these were all virgins. Matthew 25:1 (KJV)   Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 Matthew 25:2 (KJV)   And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Matthew 25:3-13 (KJV)   They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

 

[4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 

[5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 

[6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 

[7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

 

[8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

I just can’t make it without going to a healing service or that I must hear a special preacher that is drawing people from everywhere. let me ask where is the Great Preacher, when you are laying in the Hospital bed or when you want one of your children baptized in water? Will this person who seems to be, whatever they may be, it makes no difference to me. this is what Paul said.

Galatians 2:6 (KJV)   But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

What do they add to you? Do they take your money and when you are sick are they there beside your bed. It is your love ones that are there and your local pastor and brothers and sisters that you are to call on when you are sick.

James 5:14 (KJV)   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:

Do you feed the children in other states and let your own household go hungry?.

1 Tim. 5:8 (KJV)   But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Do you think that he is talking about the house where you live? What about the house where we meet together to worship the Lord? Yes I am aware of the problems that exist in the churches. that is the buildings that we assemble in. Some time we feel worse when we exit the door than when we came into the building. Now whose fault is this? Hasn’t God given to us power over Satan? Then what went wrong? Could it be that we ourselves have given into the spirit of Demons because that we failed to seek God for the direction to solving the problem and that we rather run away and  go somewhere else? I don’t see anywhere in the bible where it tell us to resist the Devil and then run from him.  You might ask the question, How do I resist the Devil? The only way to resist the Devil is to let the love of God take root in our lives so much that the Devil will flee from us. You see, the Devil cannot, and I say, cannot stay in the Presence of the Love of God. Satan hated Jesus so much that he had to get rid of Jesus and thought that he had rid the world of God altogether. The thing he didn’t know that the Love of God was letting him crucifying his son and that the love of God was the Power of God that Jesus was the express image of the Love that God had toward his creation and that by that Love that was In Jesus. that was the power that kicked him out of the presence of God and the Angels. Revelation chapter twelve describes the way that Jesus put him out of the presence of Heaven and the Same Love that Jesus had, he has shed forth into our hearts that power.

Acts 2:33 (KJV)   Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Many of you have never seen a real move of the Holy Ghost in the assembly of the saints and when you ever see this you will know that when the presence of the Holy Ghost sweeps down over and into the hearts of the church and begins to move on the saints that no one, and I say, no one will find fault with any of the brothers or sisters. there will be such Love among the saints that even the sinners will tremble in his presence. This is what is needed in the churches and the sooner that we assemble together and get into one mind and one accord, the sooner the Holy Ghost will fall like it did on the day of Pentecost and there will be a mighty sound from heave and it will fill the whole house and there will be those that are filled who will speak with other Tongues as the spirit gives utterance. There are those who say that it is not for us today. Read what Peter had to say about that and let every mouth be stopped.

 

Acts 2:16-18 (KJV)   But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

[17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

[18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Acts 2:39 (KJV)   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.

I ask the question has God quit calling men and women and children to repentance?.

You that resist the Holy Ghost, you ought to be careful and I do certainly hope that you are doing it ignorantly.

Acts 7:51 (KJV)   Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Yes the wisdom of the Holy Ghost will make your face to shine. Eccles. 8:1 (KJV)   Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

Stephen, being a deacon, preached under the anointing of the Holy Ghost and had a  powerful message to those who resisted the Holy Ghost and those that proclaimed to have religion and kept the law was the biggest devils of all. This shining of Stephens face and the boldness that he preached with caused them to chew on his neck like a bunch of animals. The was not able to resist him so they stoned him. Oh what a man of God who had been filled with the Power of the Holy Ghost.  Maybe we today don’t want to stir up the devil and we just run here and there getting our joy from the flesh, rather that standing bold and unsheathing our sword of the Spirit.

2 Samuel 23:10 (KJV)   He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

 

2 Samuel 23:12 (KJV)   But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.

Eliza  fought a battle among those Israelites whose heart had melted and whom was afraid to stand and fight. When sin comes into our camp we run and hide and quit fighting the battle. We need to unsheathe the Holy Ghost and go into the battle and go on the offence and take the prize that God has given us and wipe out the Philistines that have made us to run. The Enemy stands like Goliath and brags and says send me on out . The Devil wants to slay each and every one of us. You remember  this one thing that we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood.

Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)   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.

When you see a person standing and causing your heart to melt with fear and you look on his stout face, you will not see the shine that Stephen had you will only see fear and evil upon his  face and although he may come looking that he has a robe of righteousness he is, inside, a raving wolf. Remember that love seeks not his own.

Paul had a message to the church about the Love that is to be in each of us and it’s behavior toward each other.

 

God has given us gifts to minister with and insist that we take these gifts and go into all the world and preach the Gospel and heal the sick, laying on hands , casting out devil’s in the name of the Lord. Listen to what he had to say about Love and the Gifts.

1 Cor. 12:31-13:13 (KJV)   But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

 

[13:1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 

[2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

 

[3] 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.

 

[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

 

[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

 

[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

 

[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

 

[8] 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.

 

[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

 

[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

 

[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

 

[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

 

Without love, we cannot and will not see God, for God is Love. If we have not love to one another we have not passed from death unto life. Let me emphasize to you, without love, you will not ever see God the Father.

Jeremiah said that you and I will not find God among the ways of the sinful ways of the Gentiles neither will we find this love by anyone except through the lord Jesus and his Holy Ghost.

Jeremiah 14:22 (KJV)   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.

I will be a little bolder and say that you and I will not know the Love of God without the Holy Ghost.

 1 Cor. 12:3 (KJV)   Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

What the scripture is saying is, that your words that you and I speak is not powerful enough to cause Satan to flee without the Holy Ghost.  Satan is an angle of light and it is no marvel that he is able to transform his ministers into the ministers of the Lord, pretending and preaching the words that will tickle the ears of those who are and want to be led by the flesh and who are full of sin and disobedience.

2 Cor. 11:14 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2 Cor. 11:15 (KJV)   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.

There is a saying that goes like this. “Just because the rooster crows, it doesn’t mean it is daylight”. and that is true about those with fair speeches who make a show openly.

Romans 16:17-18 (KJV)   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

[18] 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.

The Simple, what is he talking about?»Strong's Help akakos, Greek 172, Strong's akakos,  ak'-ak-os; from Greek 1 (a) (as a negative particle) and Greek 2556 (kakos); not bad, i.e. (objective) innocent or (subjective) unsuspecting :- harmless, simple.

When you least expect, there will Satan stand in front of you.

Listen to what the Psalmist David wrote and the words that comes out of his mouth is that of what he and all of us encounter and notice that these complaints are the complaints of the Lord and  Jesus became everything and acquainted himself with all the trials that has come our way and knows all about what we are and will go through with and has make a way of escape for each of us.

1 Cor. 10:13 (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.

Jesus was the escape for David and became he took the troubles on himself and he was the Way and David in the spirit was looking for a hope and that hope was spoken as a testimony and that testimony became alive and that testimony was the power that brought the Lord Jesus to this world in human form and hang on the Cross, in which, was deliverance for David and to all that will call and seek him with all their heart.  Read what David had to say.

 

Psalm 22:10-31 (KJV)   I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

 

[11] Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

 

[12] Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

 

[13] They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

 

[14] I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

 

[15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

 

[16] For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

 

[17] I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

 

[18] They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

 

[19] But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

 

[20] Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

 

[21] Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

 

[22] I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

 

[23] Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

 

[24] For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

 

[25] My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

 

[26] The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

 

[27] All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

 

[28] For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.

 

[29] All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

 

[30] A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

 

[31] They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

 

My God, My God, how can any stand and deny the Lord?  Will we be like the five foolish virgins and let our oil empty out or should I say, let Satan drain our oil out. Has this happened to a lot of people who jot here and there looking for a miracle or a great experience? God has said that he is as close as our mouth.

 

Romans 10:8 (KJV)   But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Jesus Christ is the sum of everything that mankind ever hoped for. Jesus is the Evidence of that which the writer wrote in Hebrews.

 Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

In this verse there is a lot to be said, We talk about faith and we do know that everyone is given a measure of faith to profit withal.

Romans 12:3 (KJV)   For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

We see here in this verse that Paul makes this statement, not of his own, but through the Grace that was given to him, He was saying to each of us, “not to think too highly of ourselves’. If we are not to think too highly of ourselves, are we to exalt others in the flesh?. What do we see multitudes doing today?. We see those running here and there and saying that if you want to experience the Joy of the Holy Ghost, that you must read this book or watch this TV program and that some great preacher is on and did you see that last night? wasn’t that great? I have got to get one of his tapes. and then off you send your money to someone you don’t even have an idea as to what character is hiding behind that robe of righteousness that is portrayed. Jesus warned that we are to be careful and even those that followed warned over and over to be not deceived. Satan being an  Angle of Light, can, and will deceive you and he will take what God has given him and use it on you, if you are not filled with the Holy Ghost, you will fall victim to his devices. Remember that we are not wrestling with flesh and blood.

Ephes. 6:12 (KJV)   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.

Satan has from the time that he devised the plan to entrap Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden into thinking that he was the one with the answers for mankind, he has caused men and women to fall into his devices and when he gets you in one of his devices, he will squeeze the very spirit of God out of you, it you allow him too.

The flesh of our body is just a temple of God. We build buildings and meet there and place a name on the building and we identify ourselves with that name and we come together and we form a creed that we are to adhere to and we say to those that oppose us, that they are wrong and are not of us and that we want them to either change or get from our mist. We don’t want to be changed into thinking any other way, other than that way we have determined to be the right way. Now if this is, and the creed that we have established is ordained of God through the Holy Ghost, it will stand when the world is on fire, as the saying goes.  But on the other hand, even if we do agree together and we can find enough support, the thing, whether it is of God or not, it will endure, and may endure to the time that when Jesus comes back to get his church. So, don’t think, just because that it looks right, that it is right. Satan has his church and he can wear the robe of righteousness and has the ability to transform his ministers into the ministers of righteousness.

2 Cor. 11:14-20 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

[15] 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.

This makes us stop to think. What then, what can I believe? This is what you must realize: Anything that Glorifies the flesh is not, and I say, “Is Not Of God’.

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

What Paul is saying is this:

1 Cor. 4:10 (KJV)   We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

He is saying that while he lives in this body, and is Filled with the Holy Ghost, that the enemy hates him with a passion, Satan is causing him to suffer, just as he caused Christ to suffer, and that to boast in anything, Paul boasted that he was counted worthy to suffer for Christ.

Romans 8:18 (KJV)   For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

What credentials that we possess, when we are tormented by Satan. What is your credentials? Do you have any stripes on your back? Has Satan come against you today? Remember if he has left you alone and doesn’t bother you, it could be that he has sugar coated your belief into thinking that you are doing just what God wants you to do. It might be that the God that you think that you are pleasing, just might be the God of this world, and his name is Lucifer. Listen to me, from experience, Satan wants the highest position in church and that is the pulpit. The pulpit is where he can do the most destructive damage.

Psalm 48:2 (KJV)   Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Isaiah 14:13 (KJV)   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: »Strong's Help tsaphown, Hebrew 6828, Strong's tsaphown,  tsaw-fone'; or tsaphon, tsaw-fone'; from Hebrew 6845 (tsaphan); properly hidden, i.e. dark; used only of the north as a quarter (gloomy and unknown) :- north (-ern, side, -ward, wind).

Christ was a mystery, especially to those who followed after Satan, and to those who would not seek after God through faith. Many people today think that God doesn’t want them to understand the Bible, the reason is that, they don’t want to search the Scriptures themselves, and will run to a great preacher to find all the answers. We are told to not run here and there when they say that Christ is here or there. We are told to Search the Scriptures.

John 5:39 (KJV)   Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Even when we read the Bible, we like to make out of it what we want to hear and when we hear a preacher we want him or her to tell us good things and not to rock our boat.

Matthew 12:34 (KJV)   O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Ezekiel 21:2 (KJV)   Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

We just don’t want to hear anything that goes against what we believe. Israel, when Christ came to bring them the truth, they did not want to hear the truth.  Israel rejected, that is the Israel that Satan had Control of, Which is the Israel of the Flesh, they wasn’t interested in what the Father had to say, they were in agreement with Hell.

Isaiah 28:18 (KJV)   And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Why do so many religious people today, have their hope based on the Israelites over there in Jerusalem? Those that are there is doing the same as they did when Jesus stood in front of them when he was walking in the flesh.  They had not the understanding that he was the Son of God and that God had chosen them to make his Name Great among the nations, and  they could then, just as now, make the choice that Paul made, they didn’t want to change and be converted. Paul said that God has not forsaken Israel and that All Israel will be Saved.

Romans 11:26 (KJV)   And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

If you can’t understand what he is talking about, let me open, or rather let the Holy Ghost, open your understanding as to what Paul was talking about. Israel is not of the outward man. Israel is that which is of above.

 

Galatians 4:26 (KJV)   But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Jesus was the Israel from above. Yet the Jews that was of the flesh, stood there claiming to have Abraham as their father.

Matthew 3:9 (KJV)   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.

We think like those that claimed to be the children of Abraham, that we can please God by fulfilling the will of the flesh. This is what the Pharisee’s did.  Remember that Abraham believed God.

James 2:23 (KJV)   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.

Yes they were the children of Abraham, Abraham had two sons, one was the son by promise and the other was of the bond woman. The two sons is an allegory.

An  allegory is something that is to be compared.

Galatians 4:22-31 (KJV)   For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

[23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

when we compare these two sons, we can see that when we follow after

 

the flesh we will despise the things of God and in doing so, God has to withhold good things from us.

 Jeremiah 5:25 (KJV)   Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

Jesus was not, and moreover the Holy Ghost was not poured out upon those that rejected Jesus.

This is why that the Law was given on Mt Sinai. Those Jews that are there and those that follow after the Law that was given on Mt Sinai will not receive the truth in their hearts, they are blinded to the truth, just as those Jews were blinded and the judgment of God has judged them already, just as it took around seventy or more years for the judgment to come on them and the judgment has never left their house. When they cried that his blood be upon them and their children, they didn’t realize what the impact of the words that they spoke would be.

[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

The Jews there in Jerusalem, as long as they reject Jesus Christ, they are the children of Agar, and are in bondage to the Israel of Above. We as Christians that have the Testimony of Jesus Christ are the real Jews, even though we were by nature Gentiles.

Romans 2:29 (KJV)   But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

[27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Listen to what Paul is saying to the Gentile, the Jew, alike, those that have come to Jesus and have had their sins washed in the blood.

[28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

[29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted im that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Today, those who reject the Holy Ghost and go about in the flesh, who follow after the commandants of the Law and say to you that you have to do this and that, they want to constrain you to do as they do, so that they can gain a great recondition, they while they promise you liberty, are the servants of Satan.

2 Peter 2:19 (KJV)   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.

They are the servants of the flesh and they glory in the flesh and they need all the support of everyone that they can muster up to be able to hold onto that power. Paul said that this corruption must put on incorruption.

1 Cor. 15:53 (KJV)   For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

[30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.

If we follow those, we like those, will be cast out of the presence of God.

[31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

We are no longer under the law, we are under the law of Christ, for Christ was the end of the Law to them that believe.

 Romans 10:4 (KJV)   For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Paul went on to say that he had power over many things and that he could exercise that power, but after Paul found Jesus as his Lord, that power was not used to get what his flesh wanted, as it was when he knew not Jesus as his Lord.

1 Cor. 9:5 (KJV)   Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Paul was saying that he could get married anytime he wanted and have a family and there would not be any thing wrong with that. What Paul did after he met Jesus, he choose to make a difference and to be different that that he was as a Pharisee. Paul found freedom in Jesus Christ. and God now was his power. Paul kept his body under subjection, that is he denied the body any glory and refused for anyone to Glorify him. This is the whole point that I want to convey to those that read these words, The flesh cannot please God, and is not subject to the Spirit.

Romans 8:8 (KJV)   So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

If we being in the flesh, cannot please God, where does that leave us?. This is where we must realize that Jesus Christ is everything that we cannot be.  When David cried out and said that the enemy was surrounding him and that if God did not Quicken him, that he would go to the grave with no hope, David was speaking the word of faith, and in doing so, Jesus, being what Hebrew chapter one said. Faith is the Substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. David, as long as he saw the enemy encamping around him and failed to see through Faith, he was swallowed up by the Evil. The key to David was, as the Scripture says. He had a heart after God. Our abilities to accomplish God’s will is insufficient and we cannot do the things that we desire. Now I am talking about  doing the things by the will of the flesh. Paul again said that he found that when he would do good, that evil was present.

Romans 7:21 (KJV)   I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

How does this evil present itself to us? As long as we look to the flesh for the answer, we cannot do that which we would do. Now if we are led by the flesh and desire to do the things of the flesh, then we are not the children of God, we become the children of disobedience. Disobedience was what the first Sin that was committed by Eve. Simply, she just disobeyed God’s commandant.  Satan was present there in the Garden of Eden and she found, as Paul, that when she was supposed to do right that she found that she did that which was not right. Satan, standing there talked to her and showed her that she could do the things that she as a free moral agent, she could become like Gods, or, could satisfy her desires for the time being. What Satan was able to put into her was Lust and Pride. Lust and pride was the reason of Satan’s fall.

1 John 2:16 (KJV)   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.

Eve saw that the fruit was good and to be desired, that it would make one wise.

 Genesis 3:6 (KJV)   And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

What was the fruit?. They say it was an apple from a tree. We need to see that the tree was Satan himself. Ezekiel 31:18 (KJV)   To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

God here has named him Pharaoh. We must understand that as Pharaoh placed bondage upon the children of Israel, and there had to be a great cry from the people because of the bondage, at that time God sent to them Moses, which is a type of Christ, to deliver them from that bondage. Let God open your eyes and your understanding to just what was happening to the children of Israel, the same bondage was put on Eve and Adam there in the Garden of Eden. Pharaoh represents the type of fleshly bondage that we are brought into as we come into this world. This is why Jesus was brought to the cross, His flesh was the Vale that stood between God and Man, When Adam and Eve sinned they were driven away from God and their sorrow and pain came and was multiplied. A curse was upon the whole world.

Genesis 3:17 (KJV)   And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Satan was made Low at that point.

Genesis 3:14 (KJV)   And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Satan like a snake lurks around the earth and was brought so low that he had to crawl around and eat of the dust. Crawling around meant that he had been robbed of his Glory and eating the dust meant that his portion was very dry, and void. Now you can understand that of how the earth became void and darkness was upon the deep.

Genesis 1:2 (KJV)   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Satan had been decorated by god with great honor. Satan let pride and lust take root in his existence.

Ezekiel 31:2 (KJV)   Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?

The prophet is speaking about Satan in the flesh.

Ezekiel 31:4-5 (KJV)   The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

Yes the earth was void, and Darkness was upon the deep. This void that was upon the deep, this is what Satan did to the Earth and the Deep represents the minds of the people, as he blinded the eyes of Eve and Adam , he has blinded the eyes and understanding of untold millions and billions of men and women along with the little children. This is what Paul was saying when he said that he had a messenger of Satan left to buffet at him. Just as Eve was confronted there in the Garden of Eden, we are confronted every day of our lives and the sentence of death is placed upon this body that we inhabit.  Sin plays Havoc on our bodies and sickness comes to us on every side and this is why that the scientists continue to do research on how to combat the diseases of the world. It seems that it is a never ending battle. God has a antidote for all of this, only if we could find the answer to how to overcome. Paul found the answer and he did not receive it from the other Apostles or from the Head church at Jerusalem. Paul went to the back side of the Arabian desert and got along with God and at his weakest moment there while he was fasting and praying, no doubt that Satan came to him and began to tell him how that he has made a fool of himself and that if he would obey his voice and serve Satan as he had before, that he would restore all that he had before and then some. As Paul couldn’t find in himself the means to overcome, neither can we, in ourselves find the answer. What Paul did was look beyond his inability and look to the one he saw on the road to Damascus and placed his all upon him and said as he said when Jesus spoke to him on the road to Damascus, “Acts 9:6 (KJV)   And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. “

Here is the answer to each of us. We must say to the Lord, “what will you have me to do?” When we can come to that decision, then, and then only can Jesus use us and the Holy Ghost will have free course in our lives. God left the messenger in Paul  to keep him from exalting himself above measure.

2 Cor. 12:7 (KJV)   And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

When we receive an abundance of revelations, we can get out of control, as do a lot of preachers, when God grants them Gifts and they begin to exalt themselves instead of exalting Jesus Christ. This is why we see many take a fall and so sad that sometime they never are able to get up again and lose their respect of the people. I have said to the members at the churches where I was pastor, do not set me on a pinnacle.  I know that if people place you upon a pinnacle, then the lord can only do that which is best and cast you down and the fall is a great fall. When the fall comes, it takes a lot of people with it. 

[5] Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

The flesh gives Satan his Power. Satan does not have any power concerning the spiritual things of God. Satan cannot enter into the presence of God anymore. Satan was kicked out into the Earth and this is his place of his Kingdom and he thinks that if he can persuade us to follow him then we are the multitude of the waters. The waters is the people that Satan has control. Satan caused darkness to come upon the deep. this deep is the people of the earth and those that follow after Satan and the trees is the evil spirits that stand to resist us and to come to us and cause us to listen to Satan’s voice. Satan was that tree of knowledge of good and Evil. God had make him great and he turned and took all the knowledge that God had given to him and convinced one third of the Angels to follow and by doing so they fell with him. Those evil spirits are in this world and they are very busy trying to keep you and I from doing what God wants us to do. 

Ezekiel 31:8-9 (KJV)   The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

[9] I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

Satan was envied by all of the Angles that he convinced to follow his pernicious ways.

Ezekiel 31:14-16 (KJV)   To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.

[15] Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

God speaks of the end of Satan here when the time comes and I want you to know that in Jesus, from the foundations of the world, there was in Jesus the existence of everything and as the scriptures said that nothing was created without him and it was created for him and by him.

Col. 1:16 (KJV)   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:

Jesus was not just crucified at the cross, He was crucified from the foundations of the world.

Rev. 13:8 (KJV)   And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

When Cain killed Able, then was Jesus slain also. As I said about David calling to the lord when he was compassed, that the Lord came to deliver him from all his troubles and the Lord became what David felt. Jesus took all of our pain and placed it upon himself and took it to Hell with him and let captivity captive and gave Gifts to men.

Ephes. 4:8 (KJV)   Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

[16] I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

 

Ezekiel 31:18 (KJV)   To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword.

Romans 7:9-21 (KJV)   For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

 

[10] And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

 

[11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

 

[12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

 

[13] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

 

[14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

 

[15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

 

[16] If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

 

[17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

 

[18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

 

[19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

 

[20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

 

[21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

 

[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

 

[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

 

[55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

 

[56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

 

[57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Can anything good come out of Nazereth? This was the question that was asked when Nathanael received word from Phillip about finding him that was spoken of by Moses. 

 John 1:45-46 (KJV)   Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

 

[46] And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

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.

»Strong's Help lithos, Greek 3037, Strong's lithos,  lee'-thos; apparently a primary word; a stone (literal or figurative) :- (mill-, stumbling-) stone.

Now we see through a glass darkly:

1 Cor. 13:12 (KJV)   For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I was laying on my bed this morning thinking upon the things of God, I guess I could say that I was in the spirit, God began to reveal to me from the thoughts of my mind things that I feel will be a great breakthrough to, not only me, It will be to those who read these words. I want to say to you, the reader, that this, as Paul said, didn’t come from man.

Galatians 1:12 (KJV)   For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I have been saved by the Grace of God since nineteen hundred and fifty nine and throughout my Christian life, I have encountered many situations that have, at times, throw me off course. I have found as Paul, that when I would do good that evil was present with me.

Romans 7:21 (KJV)   I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

I can relate to what Paul was warring against. One of the things that we, when we are born as a little child, is to put our trust in those around us, especially our parents, after all this is all that we know. and we should be able to trust those that are able to nourish us up into the type of citizen that we should be.

Paul could and did not find the answer that he was seeking for in, neither himself, or those around him.  After that I was saved and baptized, I thought that those that were elders in the church should be able to give me an answer to every question that I had, and to be able to direct me in the way more perfectly in the Lord. I only found the more that I inquired of them, and at the same I was searching the word of God, this I thank God that he did, when I came to Jesus, put within me the desire to know and to read the Bible, in fact, I would read sometimes all night until the wee hours of the morning. I found that, as I read the Bible, that those around me, were not teaching all of the Bible. They were taking parts from the Bible and building their hope on those certain parts. Now, I am not criticizing them for what they were building upon, what I found to be troubling to me was, If God wrote it in the Bible, then it must have been there for me. Someone has said that God doesn't want you to know certain things in the Bible. I find that, that remark only give that individual the excuse to sear his or her consciousness to the truth. As Paul did, I did the same and thought that I would be able to work out everything in my own mind and self. Through the years, i found that like Paul, I became a man of most miserable. This bring me to what the spirit revealed to me this morning.

The spirit revealed, not man, that, we are like have from God, a vast amount of data, like that of a computer, we have access to everything, and in our lives, when we sit down to the computer, we can extract from that computer, that is if we are on line with the world wide web, a vast amount of knowledge, some of it can be harmful and distasteful to a Christian and we also have the ability to withdraw information that will be useful in our everyday lives. What I want, for you the reader to understand is, that God has, In his word, placed into existence a never ending vast amount of knowledge, and that is available to those who will seek him with all of their hearts.

Luke 11:9 (KJV)   And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

The trouble with us is, we look in the wrong places for the answers. Now I am not saying that, when we preach, we are not able to draw from the preaching, knowledge and  those things that will benefit. Yes we are commissioned to preach the Gospel.

Mark 16:15 (KJV)   And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

God has anointed men and women to preach the Gospel,

 Luke 4:18 (KJV)   The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

God, from the beginning of the world, has, given mankind the ability to draw from him total ability to exist in Happiness' and security. He made the world and all the things that exist.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Most of us, especially when we are ignorant to the word, believe that he was talking about a certain time in which mankind began to exist. We must realize that when he said, the beginning, that he is not referring to the beginning of our existence, he is referring to Jesus Christ, his son, which was the word,

John 1:3 (KJV)   All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jesus said himself, I am the beginning and the end. Rev. 22:13 (KJV)   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

There are ninety references of the beginning. Until you realize that the beginning is Jesus Christ, you will never be able to withdraw the full amount of knowledge and will not ever know him and who he is. God is in his word and his word is in him, therefore, when we have the word in us, we have God, we have the Beginning, Jesus Christ and God the Father at our disposable. I want you to understand that when God spoke this world and everything into existence, he, God through Jesus Christ, placed everything that existed then and through eternity, that we need to bring us into his presence and to be in fellowship with him.  God is Love and we know him when we know that we love one another.

1 John 3:14 (KJV)   We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

It is hard to find the total love that we should have to each other, and we are condemned for the actions that we are guilty of at times as we come into each other's presence. This is where we must realize that we are incapable of loving each other, as long as we relate to each other according to the deed of the flesh.  We know, as Paul sais, that there is no good thing in us, that is the flesh,

Romans 7:18 (KJV)   For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

The question is this, How do i do good, We know that God will grant and not withhold any good thing from us.

Psalm 84:11 (KJV)   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.

How in this tabernacle can we come to the place that we can walk uprightly?. I want to let you know, first of all, God doesn't’ deal with us accordingly to the flesh that we reside in.

Peter hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes.

 1 Peter 3:4 (KJV)   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.

Here is what God revealed to me, this is a revelation of God. Here you and I have the knowledge to know how to love one another. You and I, as we walk in the flesh, cannot please God.

1 Cor. 15:50 (KJV)   Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Most of the time, as we walk with each other and among each other, we only look on the outward man, and not on the Hidden Man.  I will be the first to admit, I just don’t like what I see in a lot of people, and this goes for those that stand in the church and do the things that stick in my craw. And, this has been the thing that has caused divisions and turmoil in God’s place of worship. We have wrestled with this problem and will continue to wrestle with this problem until the Lord comes and catches us up and takes us out of this tabernacle of flesh.  This flesh, no matter how much you have a face lift or tuck, or how much money that you spend to make yourself look good, and some of you do and can make yourself look beautiful and there is nothing wrong in looking your best. The Pharisees went to a lot of trouble to make themselves presentable to the eye of the people and by giving themselves to this great effort, they, missed the whole plan, and they gave up the right to access the throne of God, for the most important beneficial things that God had prepared for them from the foundations of the world, Notice that what God had implemented into his human and world material creation,  It was, and came, and stood in front of them and would have disposed, not only from the beginning of the world, and wanted to dispose to them, all the good things that was prepared in Christ Jesus. What a shame that they thought that they could be supplied with everything they wanted and told Jesus that they had Abraham the father. They were looking at Abraham for their security. Abraham longed to see Jesus' day and he saw it.

John 8:56 (KJV)   Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

Abraham, was just the same as each of us, He, was an exception though, and that exception is the same exception of those who look to God and wanted to see the Day that Jesus would come to this world and redeem him and take him back to God the Father. You see, Abraham was caught in this tabernacle just like we are, Abraham, decided to know God, not through the flesh, but he chose to see God through faith. Hebrew 11th chapter reveals those who looked not on the outward appearance, but looked to the Hidden Man of the Heart, as Peter wrote that we should look to. That seed that was there in the beginning, Jesus Christ, that all things exists in, and by him all things exists. that seed was implemented into mankind as a measure of faith.

Romans 12:3 (KJV)   For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Jesus is a light, and he is the light that ligheth every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9 (KJV)   That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Notice that the writer wrote that he was the true light. Now, we know that

Satan is an Angle of Light, so we can conclude that he as a light, is able through the flesh to light the path of those that want to follow him. This is not the true light that is spoken by John.  When God said in Geneses, let there be light,

Genesis 1:3 (KJV)   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

This light was Jesus Christ, This light was what divided the Darkness from the Light, you see when God had created, there in the beginning, Jesus Christ, in the origin of the world, God created Satan and adorned him with vast amount of beauty and authority. Satan was give the world to have as a possession, God gave him  greater  ability's and wanted him to rule over the host of Heaven  and to Govern the according to the plan of God. Satan took this vast amount of beauty and strolled all over Heaven and Earth and with Pride in his Heart. begin to think of himself as one that had need of nothing. After all, God had given him everything, or at least he thought to himself. God when he put the earth and everything into existence he made it all in Jesus Christ before it began to exist in real shape and form.

Genesis 2:4-5 (KJV)   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,

[5] 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.

We are commanded to grow up in the Lord, and like those that were there before they grew, they had to have rain in order to grow. God, placed man in paradise and man through the influence of Satan, missed the mark, and  was driven out from the presence of God.  Even when God took Adam out of the Earth, the Earth was nothing but a dry void and could not produce anything. We know, from the word, that when God created the world and the Heavens, that he said when he looked upon it was good. When he looked at the light, he said,

Genesis 1:4 (KJV)   And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

I believe that God did not create or wanted anything that he made to be any other thing but good and beautiful. Why would God, who is Perfect in every way, create anything that would be ugly or goof for nothing?.  It just doesn’t make any sense. The only conclusion to the matter is , that something went wrong somewhere and sometime. I believe that, that went wrong was when Satan, who beholding the creation, looking into this to see what God was up to, begin to say to himself, that he would not be the one that everyone would look to for advice and that he would have to take a back seat to those things that God was creating. He saw that God had  potential to do whatever he pleased and that He just couldn't trust God any more to lead him. Doesn’t this ring a bell in our lives. How many of us, like Satan, just cannot trust God to be the Lord of our lives. We, like, Satan go about to gain recognition from others and we like Satan want to be the leader of the pack. We are like a pack of wolves, and i believe this is what the Bible refers to when it says that, inward they are like raving wolves.

Ezekiel 22:27 (KJV)   Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

They call it, “Dog eat Dog”.  Isn’t it a terrible place to live in this world, How can and who can be saved?.

Matthew 19:25-26 (KJV)   When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

[26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Jesus had just told those there that it was easier for a camel to go through a eye of a needle that a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thank God that he did not stop and went to explain that with men it is impossible.

This is the whole point that I want you to understand, You cannot get, or see clearly the way to Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven by running to man for your answers, Your acquaintances will disappoint you. You will enter into the House of God and you will find those that love to have preeminence among you and who love to lay before, traditions and you will find that they will lay grievous burdens upon you, and the yoke that they place upon you will drain every bit of your joy from you and, to you, there will be disappointment on every side. This is what they will do to you,

Luke 11:46 (KJV)   And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Jesus has said to those that they should take his yoke upon them.

 

Matthew 11:29 (KJV)   Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

We are drawn away from the full potential of those things that God has in store for us by our own lusts and temptations.

Amos 6:13 (KJV)   Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

Is it any wonder that we have to suffer things and find ourselves wanting? We just don’t understand, do we?. Our sins of omission have caused the Lord to withhold good things from us.

Isaiah 59:2 (KJV)   But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

 

Jeremiah 5:25 (KJV)   Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

We wonder why there is no revival in the church and we are lucky, if that is what we call it, to have a survival meeting instead of revival.

Satan wants and is doing what he has set out to do, He will whisper to us and cause us to think highly of ourselves and to make us think that what we have recieved, that we received it of ourselves.

Acts 17:29 (KJV)   Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

We think and compare the God Head to that of How great of a building that we have built in the community and want to brag to each other and declare to the community that we have really done God’s will perfectly.

God does not dwell in temples made of stones, wood, or any other material of this world. God dwell in temples that are not made of Hands.

Ye are the Temple of the Holy Ghost. If you defile that temple, God will destroy it.

 1 Cor. 6:19 (KJV)   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?

1 Cor. 6:17 (KJV)   But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

That which is in you, this is not of the world and this is not given by man, this is from the other side and was there in the beginning, in Jesus Christ, he is the beginning and like a computer, we can withdraw from him that which we need to sustain us and make out of us exactly what God wants us to be. I say plainly, that what God is in you, cannot be seen with the physical eyes, Our lives is read, even by those who know not God and are walking around dead in their trespasses.  To see God and all that he is, we must see Jesus. not the Jesus in the body that died, that is to be remembered certainly, but like the bible tells us,

 

2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV)   Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

I think it is meet to give you several scriptures that contain to those things whereby that we think that we can trust in the flesh more that trust in the spirit.

John 8:15 (KJV)   Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

 

Romans 8:1 (KJV)   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

Romans 8:4-5 (KJV)   That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 

[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.

 

Romans 8:12-13 (KJV)   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.

 

1 Cor. 1:26 (KJV)   For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

 

1 Cor. 10:18 (KJV)   Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

 

2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV)   Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

 

2 Cor. 10:3 (KJV)   For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

 

2 Cor. 11:18 (KJV)   Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

 

Galatians 4:23 (KJV)   But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

 

Galatians 4:29 (KJV)   But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

 

2 Peter 2:10 (KJV)   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.

These scriptures tell us that, as I have said over and over, that you will not fine then answers to a successful life as a Christian, by looking to mankind for your answers. You must look to God through the spirit, and Let me make it clear that Preaching and Testifying is of a great value and is not to be ignored and we will preach and testify as the lord permits and will be involved in solving the problems of others as other will be involved in our problems, but the truth of the matter is, that, when it comes to know God and his Divine Plan for our lives, we can only find this, as Paul did, on the back side of the Arabian desert. Now I am not telling you to go to Arabia and go to the back of that desert, what i am telling you that you must get along with God and steal away in a place away from the influence of man and talk to God alone and by doing so, you will, as Paul said, and as I have, receive a revelation of God and he will reveal to you the truth and led you into the depth of the Spirit and show you things that will make you want to rise above all of the troubles that comes to you as you journey through this world. You have this same vast amount of revelations, as did Paul, and the same revelation is there for everyone that will seek the face of God. you too, can be caught up and carried away in the Spirit and will find like Phillip, after he witnessed to the Ethiopian Eunuch, that he was caught up and found in Azotes'.

 Acts 8:39 (KJV)   And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

When we get into the will of God so much that the Holy Ghost has his way, we too can be caught up into the spirit and carried away from all of the troubles that Satan would launch. You see, I believe, had not the Spirit caught up Phillip, that Satan would have come to steal the joy from the Eunuch, but instead, the Eunuch went his way rejoicing. One could say that Phillip was the one that was rejoicing, you would be right, I believe they both went away rejoicing. There is a sermon in this passage and incident. One could preach and shake the foundations of Hell in this message and by the Lord’s help maybe I will be fortunate to be able to deliver this messenger in a sermon to someone like the Eunuch. Maybe to a lot of Eunuch’s .

There is something that I need to reveal to you the reader, that the Spirit revealed to me this morning as I was walking the Pet that I have the pleasure of sharing our home with.

What i am talking about is that of Stones, God showed that in the Bible the reference to stones were given to mean more that of a rock or of that of something of value here in this life.  We are told that when we build a house that we are to build upon the rock. I have and am at this time building a home here that is on the very top of a mountain and have the privilege to live at the same height that the bald Eagles do. I can watch the nest where they raise their Eaglets' in. From my back deck on my home we, my family, can see them continually and we have come to know how they survive in the wild. The Eagles is referred to in the bible also as a symbol of strength, just like the Lion is referred to strength. Thank God I don’t have any lions running around these hills, or at least I haven’t seen any yet.

Getting back to the Stones, there is one hundred fifty eight references to the word stones. And at the word Stone there is one hundred seventy six references to the word stone.

That is a lot times to mention the word, or words, We know that Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone.

 Matthew 21:42 (KJV)   Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Let's go to Psalms and read what David Said about the Stone that the builders rejected. Now this brings up the point I have been trying to make clear to you, How did David know that this Stone would be rejected, and how did he, or did he know that this Stone was Jesus Christ?. This is a good question and it deserves out consideration. When God made this world and everything in it and when he created all living things, including mankind, what he did, and this I want you to really pay attention and not miss the point. In the beginning, Now as I said, In Jesus, which is the Beginning, God put into him every solution to all that was and was to be. Please understand this one thing that I, yet not I, but the Spirit, want to make perfectly clear to the reader. Everything was there in Christ. And I mean Everything.

If you want to know why we don’t get the things that we think that we should have, then this is the reason why. We expect God to do or create whatsoever we ask, or want, as though God only will do it at that precise moment  when we ask. We don’t realize that the answer is already there and that the time for it to take its place is also built into the Stone. This is why it is said that blessed are they that wait on the lord.

Psalm 27:14 (KJV)   Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

This is the secret that David found when I came to getting from the Lord. David ‘s outside man was everything but what God expected. In fact I am convinced that if God did according to the David of the flesh, that David would be in Hell today. If God does according to our flesh, we all would be in Hell. David, in his time was able to tap into Gods vast data base, so as we think today with all the computers that help to run our society.

As the writing of Peter stated, let it be the Hidden Man of the Heart. This was David’s mystery and the mystery that those who trust in the flesh will never be able to withdraw from God any revelations that God has in store for them.

The stones were used every since the beginning  of time as a symbol. Sometime it was to make an alter. When the old testament saints erected a stone alter, they were, whether they really knew, It was referring to Jesus Christ. We have only one Alter and that Alter is Jesus Christ. When we erect Alters in the House of God, I am convinced that we believe that we can place any and everything upon that  Alter and demand of God that he find in us a special being, and that God will honor us according to that we think that we have a right too. When we are coming to that Alter, it symbolizes that we are coming to The Throne. We need to realize that first that when we build an Alter, that we need to recognize that this represents not what God is going to do for us, It represents of that What God Has Done For Us Already.

David, even in his days, spoke of the things that god had prepared for him. Look at the twenty third Psalm.

Psalm 23:5 (preparest KJV)   Thou a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

That is why Jesus said;

Rev. 1:4 (KJV)   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;

Can you, the reader understand that Jesus was there, and is the beginning and the end. In him all things consist.

2 Peter 1:3 (KJV)   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:

Can’t we ever understand that to every trial and everything, from blessing to healing was provided and revealed to us at the Cross, He did not come to this world to start a new thing, he came to show us The Father, and what the Father is and has been from the very first word that was spoken there in Geneses.

Jesus said to the Father; Psalm 22:21 (KJV)   Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Psalm 118:21 (KJV)   I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

These passages are past tense. not future tense. Hebrews chapter one reads as follows;

 Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Now Faith, not faith that will be if God does what we ask. Some have to see a miracle to believe, I ask the question. Are you then in your sins? If you can’t believe without a miracle, you haven’t believed that God has heard you. We say that God will hear our prayers. Daniel prayed for Twenty one days, when the answer came, it was made clear that the prayer that Daniel prayed was heard from the very first Day that Daniel Prayed. In fact God heard Daniel’s prayer in the beginning of the world and knew that Daniel had a need then and not at the time that Daniel, himself, uttered the words. We limit God to our time that we live in. God understands us and knows that we are limiting and will, I believe, honor us as he can. God has honored and has exalted us long before that we ask of him.

Matthew 6:8 (KJV)   Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

The reason that he knows is because he has, in Jesus Christ, from the start of this word, or wherever he started, made provisions in Jesus, everything and has knowledge of our needs from the foundations of the world. He has mastered the plan and all we need to do is read the blue print. If you don’t know how to read the blue print, you need to go to Gods School and find out what the blue print has drawn up for the building of you existence.

The Blue Print came and was hanged on a tree on old Golgotha, There it was stained with his blood. There Satan thought that he would do away with what seemed to him as the only thing that would keep him from ridding God of any authority of this world and it’s kingdoms. God took that Blue Print and made it three dimensions. God Gave You and I the Holy Ghost and with the Holy Ghost we will be able to read this new Blue Print and will be able to read in three dimension the Plain that God created in Christ Jesus at the foundations of the world.  I will have to say so myself that this is as good as I gets. I myself have not heard such things. No wonder he said that;

1 Cor. 2:9 (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.

I am starting to see spiritual the things that he has revealed to those that have loved him.

I want to bring the other verse into this that follows and this verse brings a most interesting point.

 1 Cor. 2:10 (KJV)   But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

When Job was being attacked by Satan and God allowed him to be refined so as by fie, he made a statement that I think is fit and useful to make my point clear to the reader.

Job 27:1 (KJV)   Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

Job 28:7 (KJV)   There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

This path that Job is referring to is the Path of The Holy Ghost, Satan cannot and no one who does not have the Spirit, can enter into. I wonder if that when the trumpet sounds, that it will be, that many will think that they have worked out their salvation on the terms they have presented to God, rather than that which God has prepared.

Job’s friends had great instructions for Job, they could point out every fault that he had and even dived into what they had imagined in their heart, they concluded that Job had gotten what was coming to him. Job answered them and stood on the fact that it was not his fault that the thing that was happening to him, had come on him.  After all the talking, then God spoke, When God spoke, Job laid his hand upon his mouth. This is what I believe it is time to do, We need to come into the House of God and Lay our hand upon our mouth and let the Holy Ghost run the show, at the saying goes. When Jesus was talking to Moses and Elijah, and Peter looked on, God was saying, I believe, that things are this way and when he wrote the law and gave the Prophets the words to speak, God had written in the plan, the Mercy that endureth for ever:

Psalm 138:8 (KJV)   The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Jesus was overriding the law and the curse that Malachi had spoken and was putting a delay on the destruction of that which God had brought to the promise. This is that Moses, who stood between God wrath and he, Moses, said to God,

Exodus 32:32 (KJV)   Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

If  a man can stand between God’s judgment and hold God from performing the thing that he thought to do. how much more, Jesus, being God in the flesh, How much more would he do. After all, God is not like we are and  takes no pleasure in seeing anyone perish. Thank God that he is not like us.

When it looked like the end of all flesh had come before God at the time of Noah, God remembered one man that was righteous in this earth. He took Noah and  gave to him a Blue Print on how to save himself and his whole house.  God destroyed all, except what Noah took into the Ark. God was going to destroy all again there at the time of Calvary and again he took not a man of this world, you see it says that there was none worthy, God looked all over Heaven and all over the Earth to find one that could die for the Sins of mankind and to defeat the Devil,

Rev. 5:2 (KJV)   And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

Rev. 5:4 (KJV)   And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

 

Rev. 5:9 (KJV)   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;

These seals that was to be opened was to be opened and the great wrath was once again to be poured out on mankind.

Before that this was to take place, God had a mission to go on, and that mission was the one that would defeat Satan and rid him from the face of the earth, God, instead of taking his wrath out one mankind along with Satan, he took the plan that was in Jesus Christ from the foundations of the World, that plan had been hidden from the princes of this world. 1 Cor. 2:8 (KJV)   Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

He could not even let Daniel reveal the truth of what was going to take place. At this time, it would not be good for Satan to be able to read the Blueprint of Gods plan. God at this time when he was talking with Moses and Elijah, was going to set Moses and Elijah down for awhile and let them see what God had in store for those that loved him.

God took the first three and half of the tribulation and he placed it upon his son instead of that which was spoken of by Malachi the prophet.

He spoke of the curse to come. Jesus became the curse.

Galatians 3:13 (KJV)   Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Jesus became that Curse, and therefore we are to escape the curse and have already escaped.  When you go to the Law to get the authority to do and hold power over your brothers and sisters, you are in essence, fallen from Grace. Many Preachers like to use the old testament for a tool that they can hold dominion over the body of Christ.

Paul wrote about a man called Diotrephes about loving to have preeminence.  3 John 1:9-10 (KJV)   I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

[10] Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

When there is those that love to be higher in position than their acquaintances, you can rest assured that there will be a division in the church. Paul said that when there is divisions in the church, that the people were carnal.

Romans 8:7-8 (KJV)   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.

As long as there is a carnal mind, then the enmity that was put between the seed of woman and the seed of God, will hinder the spirit and cause a division among those in the church. God told Satan in the Garden that he would put enmity between his seed and the woman’s seed.

Genesis 3:15 (KJV)   And 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.

From this verse we can see that Satan has a seed. Cain was the first seed of Satan.

1 John 3:8 (KJV)   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 3:10 (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.

Why is it so hard for us to love one another? and if we love one another we will prefer our brother before ourselves. I am convinced that Satan has his followers that are walking among the saints and many a time those that are of Satan will enter into the church and position themselves into some of the offices and they are able to cause  the body of the church to be in an uproar  so that souls will not enter into the kingdom. Remember that he has his ministers and they are transformed into ministers of righteousness. 2 Cor. 11:14-15 (KJV)   And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

[15] 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.

When Judas was one of the twelve, he was able to transform himself into a minister of righteousness, The other eleven did not know that he was of the Devil. They began to ask the question, ‘is it I, when the Lord said that one was a devil.

Mark 14:19 (KJV)   And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

Here we have eleven men that is of the seed of God and one is the seed of the devil. Not one of the other eleven disciples  could discern who it was that was of the devil.  It seems that Judas himself didn’t know that he was doing the will of Satan, Judas ask the Lord also, ‘is it I?. Is it possible that Satan can deceive us to the point that we ourselves can’t or don’t know that we are following him. Paul said that when he persecuted the church he did it and was blameless.

Philip. 3:6 (KJV)   Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

It seems today that when a criminal is arrested, the criminal has more rights than the victim. A law is only good as the one that is administering the law. We can see the results of what becomes law when the law falls into the wrong hands, the Pharisee’s was an example of what the law can do to keep away those that want to enter into the kingdom of God. The law became a middle wall of partition. The Pharisee’s used that which God had given to make man knowledge of his sins and that he needed to have a savior, the Pharisee’s took the letter and begin to disqualify those who didn’t meet their criteria. 

John 11:41 (KJV)   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.

Psalm 118:22 (KJV)   The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

 

December  4, 2002

 

I have given a lot of attention to the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil that was in the Garden of Eden. I have also given attention to the Tree of Life that was there also in the Garden of Eden.

This brings me to another important piece of Information that I want to share with the reader.

Jesus was doing miracles there in the John 7:35 (KJV) Jesus said that we should Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

There were those there that knew that the Jews sought to take Jesus and have him killed.

[25] Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? [26] But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

It seems that the confusion here caused some doubt. Yet they  felt that this was Jesus and that this was the Christ that should come to redeem Israel. Yet at the same time there were doubt that arose as to who this man that was teaching and doing miracles really was. They reasoned in themselves and said that they knew this one and where he came from. They were referring to the place that Jesus had grown and who his parents were. Even Jesus had brothers that did not accept his deity until after they saw the proof at the Cross. At that time many that doubted knew that this was and indeed was the real messiah. These here knew where he was from as I said, who his parents were and where he was raised.

[27] Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Here we can see that they believed on him because of the miracles that he did, yet they could not see spiritually that this was indeed the messiah that was to come. The old testament prophets had foretold of the Messiah that was to come.  They had like many today read the scriptures but had no insight or spiritual insight as to how and when he was to appear. Certainly the Pharisee’s were looking into the scriptures, yet they wanted to make everything conform to their belief. This is what many today do. They search the scripture to find eternal life, but they do it on their own terms. The Lord said for us to search the scriptures, for in them we think that we have eternal life; John 5:39 (KJV) 

    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Notice that those that have eternal life are the ones that testify of or about Jesus and know him through the spirit.

We are to overcome by our testimony. Rev. 12:11 (KJV) 

    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

What Jesus said to them that they knew that he was the Messiah and that he came to redeem them and forgive their sins and that no one could do the things that he did and not be of God. Even the Pharisee’s knew that he was come from God and if they had not known, they would not have anything to worry about, that it would soon pass. You might say that they all knew him from the least to the greatest. Most people today know who Jesus was, the problem is that to follow after him and walk in the spirit one must turn from his ways and this is what is hard for some to do. Listen to what he had to say to those that were discussing this matter as to who he was.

[28] 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. [29] But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. [30] Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. [31] 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?

Isn’t it strange to hear these here say that. when the Christ is come, will he do more miracles than this man. Clearly they were looking at his flesh and not the things of the spirit.

    [32] The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. [33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. [34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. [35] 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? [36] 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? [37] 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. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. [39] (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.)

Some that say that the Holy Ghost was only for the early church and their followers. This is proof beyond a shadow of doubt, as to the gift that was to be given to everyone that believes.    

[40] Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. [41] Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? [42] Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? [43] So there was a division among the people because of him. [44] And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

 I would imagine that the Jews there would have liked for him to leave their domain and go to the dispersed of the Gentiles and just go away and leave them alone, especially the Pharisee’s. 

Jesus was talking about his death and resurrection and going back to the Father to sit on his right hand of power.

  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?

I suppose that they had read in the scripture where it said that he would go to the Gentiles to save those that would believe. This was something that the Jews could not comprehend, It was not a thing that a Jew would do. The Jews would be defiled if they were seen with the Gentiles. The Jews completely alienated the Gentiles and like a lot of people today that won’t go near a church or a person that speaks in tongues. There is those that say that those that speak with tongues are of the devil.  I wonder what they say about the Lord when he was hanging on the cross and he began to speak in tongues.

Mark 15:34 (KJV) 

    And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

There has been those that said to me, I  speak in a new tongue after I got saved , I don’t curse and swear and say the things that I used too. My answer to those is, do you need someone to interpret the new tongue that you speak in. You sound like these here that were trying to figure out whether this was the Messiah or not. When Jesus comes you will still be trying to figure out the tongues that the Holy Ghost speaks through his believers. Now I don’t want to waste my valuable time on those that defy the deity of the Holy Ghost. I would say to you in a short sentence, the words that Stephen  had for those Pharisee’s.

Acts 7:51-60 (KJV) 

    Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. [52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: [53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

    [54] When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. [55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, [56] And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. [57] Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, [58] And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. [59] And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. [60] And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Paul at that time was one that was guilty of doing away with those who believed  in Jesus Christ and who believed in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and those that Spoke in other tongues.

Paul later, after being saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, declared that he spoke with tongues mort that they all did. 1 Cor. 14:18 (KJV) 

    I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

I realize that there is a lot of confusion in some churches and this is not what God would have. God does want to have understanding in the churches and not a lot of confusion. Yet some would not accept the fact that the Holy Ghost is for the church today and would give the excuse that because of the confusion that this move is of the devil and to be compared with of that at the tower of  Babel.  I suppose that if one wanted too, he could reason God himself from off the Throne and do away with him. As long as we reason in our minds the things of this world and think according to the flesh. we can never come to know God. We can know of him, but to know him personally and to attest to the fact that he lives in our hearts and spirit through the Holy Ghost and that the spirit of the Holy Ghost talks and communicates with us today just like the Voice of God talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden, this would be absurd in someone who doesn’t want to change from the fleshly ways and walk in the spirit.

In this passage we can see that the way to the father is not by following the person of the miracles that is done by any one. we, must realize that Jesus himself was in the flesh and that he came to do that which was written in the word of God. We know that the tree of Good and Evil has in itself a message that is here being brought to light by the Lord himself. He doesn’t speak directly about the tree in the Garden. Jesus on the other hand is revealing to those who will receive it. the truth about the tree of knowledge of Good and evil. We must realize that the tree is as I have said afore, It is a way of life, and that way of life has existed ever since that of when man fell from the grace of God. The tree had both the knowledge to know both Good and Evil. we could ask what is so bad about knowing about  Good and Evil. After all we are to recognize the difference of both Good and Evil that we might know how we should conduct our lives in this present world. That in itself is not wrong. When both Good and Evil is presented, we must make a choice. This is the whole plan of God, that is, we make the choices in our life that, either, will be good for us or bad for us. The consequences of those choices will, as the saying goes, will make us or break us. Picture in your  mind if you will, there in the Garden, Adam and Eve, who knew not any Evil, that is they didn’t even know that they were naked.  We look at a animal and the animal shows all of its private parts to us and we don’t see any wrong in that. A dog can groom his or her private parts and we don’t think anything about it. Now, on the other hand when we expose out nakedness to each other, what takes place, We are either very ashamed, or we begin to do what?... Some of us and most of us begin to Lust after that which we see. A woman can expose her nakedness and a male will jump off the cliff just to get a glimpse. What was the difference of that of an animal and that of a human. Satan when he approached Eve. he had the ability to show her fame and that the fame he showed here opened her eyes to the knowledge that she could not only know what good  is, she also could lust after the things of the world, after all, Satan had been given, by God the whole world to roam in and had adorned him with wisdom and beauty that none other or any of the other Angles had ever been crowned with. It is like a beauty pageant where there is only one crowned with a golden crown and everyone stands back with awe and looks upon the winner and admires her for her beauty and talents and that she has been placed upon a pinnacle and she represents that of total approval of those she represents, She then goes on tour and expresses the thoughts and minds of those that cannot make the grade. She has become the one that all should adore.  Satan showed that Eve being a woman and that the beauty that she had from God was that of the same beauty that he had and no doubt he made it perfectly clear to her that he and she were the most admired ones in the Garden and that with the beauty that both had been given, if they were  to team up together that they would not only be admired by  all the host of Heaven, they would be able to have everyone else fall under their command.  The results are very simple, Eve turned to her husband Adam and said look at what I have gotten and when he saw her he saw with the help of all of the Angles, who admired her with flattery, he saw the most beautiful creature and thought in himself that what she had took off, he could not be left to stand by himself and he too took of the same fruit and at that precise moment  their eyes were opened to the majestic fame of the world.  I can imagine that he Lusted for her with a burning lust that he had not had and he wanted to go into her and fulfill the burning desire and the more he desired the more he wanted to fulfill that desire. Satan then had  gotten what he wanted. Satan wanted to take away from the heart of Adam and Eve the Good and replace it with a burning desire to fulfill the desires of the flesh. When the Lust spirit went into Adam and Eve and was conceived in their hearts, then God’s Spirit took second place and I believe that God’s Spirit became grieved to the point that the spirit which is God found that it had been dislodged, causing God to respond by coming to the problem  to make inquiry to what was going wrong and what had happened with the fellowship that he had with Adam and Eve. That fellowship was no longer the same. God then come to Adam and Eve and could not find them . The Spirit went searching for them. The Spirit cried out to them, “where are you” .Genesis 3:9 (KJV) 

    And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

They replied. “ we hid ourselves’ Genesis 3:10 (KJV) 

    And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

All of a sudden condemnation came over them and they realized that to lust after the flesh, would bring shame. They realized that as an animal knows no wrong in his nature to show his privates parts, they now could not show their private parts. In doing so, not only they, but all that would be born to them would look to the flesh and lust toward one another. They hid themselves among the trees.  The trees that they hid themselves were in my opinion were other beings there whether they were Angles who had transformed themselves in the same type of body and was there for them to dwell among or that it might had been that God had made more than just Adam and Eve, I believe that God when he mad Adam and Eve, he also made more people on this earth and that was for a reason, The bible does record where God made both male and female and it mentions more than just one male and one female.

Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) 

    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. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

When we look at what God said to them, male and female, he wanted for them to be blessed  and did bless them, then he said for them to replenish the Earth.  I ask the question, how could you replenish the earth if it had not been occupied before that time?.  The earth had been occupied by Satan and he had corrupted it to the point that it became void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.  We know that Sin is Darkness and we know that Void means that the presence of God does not anymore exist. We can imagine that when he said the word deep. that that could only mean the Ocean. Now let stop and think a moment. When we think of the Deep, we must realize that the word Deep means more than just the depth of the sea or a well or a hole. Let us see what strong dictionary would say the meaning is. »Strong's Help tehowm, Hebrew 8415, Strong's tehowm,  teh-home'; or tehom, teh-home'; (usually feminine) from Hebrew 1949 (huwm); an abyss (as a surging mass of water), especially the deep (the main sea or the subterranean water-supply) :- deep (place), depth. »Strong's Help huwm, Hebrew 1949, Strong's huwm,  hoom; a primitive root [compare Hebrew 2000 (hamam)]; to make an uproar, or agitate greatly :- destroy, move, make a noise, put, ring again. »Strong's Help hamam, Hebrew 2000, Strong's hamam,  haw-mam'; a primitive root [compare Hebrew 1949 (huwm), Hebrew 1993 (hamah)]; properly to put in commotion; by implication to disturb, drive, destroy :- break, consume, crush, destroy, discomfit, trouble, vex.

We can see that if we keep running the reference to the word deep that it has multiple different meanings. Let's say that the deep that was referred to here is the imaginary then we could get the full meaning of what the Spirit was saying, although, the one that penned the words, could not have known the meaning of what this was referring to himself. And by this I am not saying  that the one that wrote the words did not know what he  was writing about and did not know what it meant, it could have been that the writher knew and was not allowed to reveal all of the meaning to everyone. We do know that certain things that God revealed to man, he stopped them from writhing them and withheld them for a reason. God had a plan from the very beginning and we must be able to recognize that the plan of God was to Share his existence with his children, just like we, as parents, want to share with our children the same joy that we experience, especially the true happiness and love that we have.  God gave this to Satan his most admired Angle and Satan took that honor and corrupted it while he occupied this earth, for however long that was, we cannot know the answer to that. We do know from the writhing and the commandants in the above passage that Those he created he created those in his likeness and image. We know that his Image is Jesus Christ and that all things exist through him and by him. Col. 1:16-17 (KJV) 

    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: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

God wanted those that he created to replenish the earth This meant that the earth had been occupied before that man was made.  and when he took man from the earth the earth was full of sin and sin covered all the earth and the habitation that God had placed Satan into had been corrupted so bad that the earth could not produce anything that would glorify or bring glory to God. Just as God sent his son Jesus into the flesh, the flesh had been corrupted and was as filthy as rags. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV) 

    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness's are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Even the Law that was given on Mt Sinai could not make one righteousness and we were doomed to hell, all of us was separated from God, just like Adam and Eve became separated from God. God reached down to this sin darkened and sin stained world that Satan had corrupted and made void, God reached down into the dry dust of the earth and grabbed a handful of dust and breathed upon it and it became alive and then he took that soul that was now living and God prepared a Garden and put the man he had made into it and began to fellowship with this individual and he blessed him and then he gave to him a helpmeet to bring  even more joy to his heart. That is why Satan could not stand idly by and let God  put into existence the life that God wanted to share with his children. Satan had this and he took and threw it all away just so he could be the one that everyone would admire. Satan couldn’t sit idly by and let this happen. This is why he wanted to corrupt man just as he corrupted the earth. he wanted to make man void of understanding and to cause the imaginary of man’s mind to flow toward the ways that he instituted.  Satan wanted man in his environment . Satan today wants us to enter his environment and to dwell in darkness just as he likes to dwell in darkness. When God said, Genesis 1:3 (KJV) 

    And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Satan could not dwell in the light of God, just as Adam and Eve hid themselves in the Garden, Satan controls the darkness and wants each of us to live in darkness and wants to make the word of God void in our hearts. The passage states for man to subdue the earth  God told them to have dominion over everything and that included Satan and his Fallen Angles. God at this era was placing into his Image, Jesus Christ, the plan for his house to be filed with children. Luke 14:23 (KJV) 

    And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

God wants us to come into his house and experience the Joy that he has in store for us. we cannot imagine the joy that awaits us. 1 Cor. 2:9 (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. God has from the beginning prepared for us a place to dwell and he has many mansions waiting for us.

John 14:2 (KJV) 

    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.

John 7:24-44 (KJV) 

We all want to be with God, that is those who love God, but sometime we are like those that were there in the Temple where Jesus was teaching, we are like those there, we see the man  in the picture and we see the marvelous works that God does by the Holy Ghost, yet we still are not satisfied and find ourselves falling away when trials and temptations come our way. It seems that the power of the ministry just done seem to last through the week. We find ourselves looking for someone to meet the need over and over again and then when our needs are not met we look somewhere else for the answer to our problems. This is what was going on here with these individuals. They were looking at the Man, yes they only saw Jesus as a Man, This is why that Jesus said for them not to call him  good..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.

What Jesus was trying to convey to those there was that as long as he was in the form of a human, that he was to do all that his father had commanded him to do and until that was completed he was saying that he was much human and felt the pains of the human flesh and until he had completed and finished all that he came for, he himself wanted no glory at all, that he was to be made lower than the Angles and was to suffer the pains of death and darkness and this was necessary for each of us to be delivered from the darkness that was placed on us and in us.  Adam  and Eve only knew God and God’s presence until Satan caused them to sin, after that they knew just like Jesus knew and became acquainted with grief and sorrow. Jesus wanted them to know God as God is and not as he was in the flesh, Jesus wanted them to know God through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost and that was the only way that they could know the father, This is how he knew  where he came from and where he existed before he came into the world. It was the Holy Ghost that brought him to this world and it was the Holy Ghost that lifted him from the depth of Hell and took him up to the throne to set him on the right hand of the Majesty.  Jesus was saying, although all power was given him in heaven, this power was to let us know that as he told Adam and Eve to Subdue the earth, he was getting ready to subdue that which was in existence from the beginning. The reason they did not lay hands on him and take him was that God the father wasn’t through with the plan he had placed into existence from the beginning. I want you to understand that we are to subdue all things and through the power of the Holy Ghost, we have the dominion over Satan and it is high time that we understand that he has no power over us as long as we know Jesus Christ and as long as the Holy Ghost is in us. God wanted man to replenish the world and that is what we are to do while we walk in this fleshly tabernacle. We are to subdue and to take dominion. first of all, our own lives and then to reach out to those who are under the dominion of Satan and pull them from the flames of Hell. God’s people are like these people here, we see the works of God being done in our mist and yet we identify with the man or woman that the works are being done through and if Jesus said not to call him good as long as he was in the flesh, where do we get the idea that we can exalt a preacher or anyone in fact to a level that would deprive Jesus the exalted, the conqueror of our faith. No we, as Paul stated, we know Jesus no more after the flesh, 2 Cor. 5:16 (KJV) 

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

The reason Paul said this is, that Jesus is not on the cross anymore and a lot of us want to keep him on the cross, He is not here, these words were spoken to those who sought him among the tombs. Matthew 28:6-7 (KJV) 

    He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. [7] And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Our message is that of the same as this passage that stated to judge not according to the outward appearance.  We cannot go where he is as long as we identify Christ with that of how great a preacher or anyone else is. Why do we look to each other for that which we desire. We are looking among the tombs when we look to the flesh. We need our Eyes opened to see where the good is. We know that in this flesh there is no good thing. why do we trust in the flesh with such precious gift as our salvation and believe everything that men say and not go to the Father and Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost for the answers to all of our needs.

Jesus told them that where he goes that they cannot go. Why would he say that to them? He sure threw them for a loop. They wanted to know where he was going and started to reason within themselves as to what he meant. This is the way we are today. God brings to us the word and it might come through a preacher or through the printed article and the first thing we do is to reason in ourselves and we begin to make that individual a pedestal to place that one on. God after awhile when one is exalted instead of Jesus, will have to bring that individual down off of that pedestal and that when he comes down he usually takes a lot of people that have put their confidence in him, to fall flat on their face, sometime it takes years for them to get back up.

These here asked, “will he go among the dispersed of the Gentiles?.

They also believed on him, but not as the messiah, they said that they knew where he come from, that being from Nazareth and Bethlehem. You see they did not know him after the Spirit, they only knew that he could do many miracles and said that when the Messiah comes will he do more miracles than this man?  Here is a perfect example of how many today that follow men and miracles and put their trust in the man instead of Jesus and they find that after the miracles stop they fall away and can’t seem to rise above that of the flesh and go back  to what they were doing before they came to Jesus. The seed needs and wants Good Soil in order to grow and to produce fruit. Why is the church today making it’s brags about such great revivals that are taking place, yet the devil is devouring souls all around us and next door to us and all we can do is go on a plane or trip far off to find a place that will tell us what we want to hear and when we come out most of the time we are like these here in this passage, we wonder where it all went. The bible does not tell us to run here and there when they say that he is in the desert or secret place. Luke 17:23 (KJV) 

    And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

Luke 17:24-37 (KJV) 

    For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. [25] But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. [26] And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. [34] I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. [35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

I ask the question. Is it not like the days of Noah?  Is it not like the days of Lot?

What was those days like that we are experiencing today. When Noah found Grace was not evil everywhere and the minds of everyone upon evil continually? In Lot’s days was not Homosexual and prevision on every hand and everywhere? Was not the rulers of the cities of Sodom and Gomorra taken over by the Homosexuals. They even came to take to themselves the Angles that was there to destroy the cities.

What is so surprising is that Lot himself had become willing to let these perverts take his daughters that was virgins. He was trying to protect God. We today stand in the balances and we too, like Lot, think in ourselves that we need to defend the Gospels and to protect the things that are supposal to be of God. God does not need us to defend him, God can and will defend us. We are the ones that need defense. When Noah found Grace, he was commanded to build an ark and to take his household into the ark. Now we know that an Ark is where God meets and communicates with us and protects us from harm. The trouble we don’t want to follow the master architects blueprints. we want to add to the plan our own ideals.  The Angles had to pull Lot from destruction and we are to pull men out of the fire ourselves, and to pull men out of the fire, we need the anointing of the Holy Ghost and when we go forth under the anointing the signs will follow. I wonder today and in the past why I could not see the signs come to pass in my ministry. and that is the point, My ministry and that not of God’s ministry that works in me. You see i have come to realize that paying tithes and goings to church and preaching is not what gets the job done for God. The thing that will break the bonds is when we apply ourselves to being obedient to God’s Holy Ghost and when we let the Holy Ghost flow thorough our lives and when he comes into our  lives and becomes the ruler, he will only do that that glorifies the Lord Jesus and not man.

Jesus said that where he was going that they could not come or go. Why ? It is evident that they knew him as a man and not that of The Holy Ghost. the Holy Ghost had not been given, although  he prayed for them to receive it, it would only come to those who would seek to find it. Those who wanted God to work in their lives in the fulness of the Godhead.

They thought that he was going to the Jews that had been dispersed among the Gentiles and those Jews could not defile themselves to associate with a Gentile and you can see why he said that they could not go or come to where he was going. They could only identify with the flesh and a lot of people today in and out of the church buildings and organizations today only identify with that of a degree and or that of someone else’s approval.

I heard one preacher say that if he could be seen with Jimmy Swaggart that the foolishness in his church would be put to silence. My God how ignorant can we be. When the Messiah cometh will he do greater miracles that this man doeth? If the Holy Ghost wants to work through his people and he comes into our church. would we say that also. Are we in such control in the church that the Holy Ghost is shoved into a corner or is not welcome into our mist? What do you think? I believe that the Holy Ghost is the most abused instrument of the God Head. Every believes in God, or so they say. How can we know the God and the Lord Jesus Christ without the knowing him by the Holy Ghost? No man can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Ghost. That means that we cannot know Jesus and God the Father except that we know him through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. I can forgive you all day long and you can accept that forgiveness and go on your merry way and not know anything about me or what my ways are. That is what people want to do with the Grace of God. It is no trouble for me to accept forgiveness, To know God and his plan for my life and what he wants' from me and  how to perform that i cannot find. as Paul said, to do good i find not. Paul wrestled with himself until he became so miserable and like a lot of us today we wrestle with ourselves to the point that we don’t know what to do next. Paul found that he, himself had no power in his flesh to accomplish anything and all he did was cause chaos in his life. Paul went to the back of the Arabian desert and got along with God and there he, whether in the Spirit of in the body, he could not tell, was caught up and saw things that was not lawful to utter. Pau spent his remaining ministry trying to convey to the church those Spiritual things that he saw and that was the hardest thing for him to accomplish. when the flesh is involved, you can calm the oceans but you cannot calm the troubles of one that walks in the flesh and not the things of the Spirit.

Spiritual things are only for those that are Spiritual and if the Spiritual man is not their the things of God are not  revealed to them.

Jesus went to the Father whence he came from and left us the Holy Ghost and with the Holy Ghost, we can make a difference in this world and we can have and do have dominion, we are to subdue and through the Holy Ghost we are to replenish this world with God’s children,

The Grace of God has since the coming of Jesus held back the wrath of God and has place the hand of God upon the Dam that contains the wrath of God and as soon as Jesus Rises from off the Right Hand Of God, that Dam will be let loose and as water that has been flowing into that Dam, the sin of this world and Satan through his deception, has fill the earth once again with darkness and makes it void to those who will follow his devices. Evil is everywhere and the Marriages of the Homes are in trouble and Homosexuality and prevision is everywhere and as the scripture states that when the say peace, peace, then come the sudden destruction.

We that are Spiritual have the following comfort and I think it would be meet to place these words into this passage for your learning and if we would follow the advice of the following that we would be comforted to know that these words would deliver us up to the father and he will say well done my faithful servant.

We are not to be Ignorant to what is happening, If we are ignorant it is because we choose to be or we have let ourselves be deceived into becoming ignorant.

Paul wrote these scriptures to the Thessalonians to warn them and to comfort them as to what would take place in the coming of the Lord. 

1 Thes. 4:13-5:24 (KJV) 

    But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    [5:1] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. [2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. [3] 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. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. [5] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] 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. [9] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. [11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

    [12] And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; [13] And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. [14] Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. [15] See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. [16] Rejoice evermore. [17] Pray without ceasing. [18] In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. [19] Quench not the Spirit. [20] Despise not prophesyings. [21] Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. [22] Abstain from all appearance of evil. [23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. [24] Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV) 

    A Psalm of David.

    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I want to deal with some things that has been covered in the writings of the article, or book, I would like to call it a document. As a document it is to record that which is given to someone, in this, I feel that I have been given by the Holy Ghost a deeper insight as to knowing what God has placed into existence. We sometime and I might say a majority of people read the word of God and to know what the word is revealing to the reader  takes some considerable digging, or should I say, removing the overburdens. The miner that is seeking Gold or a precious stone, he, or she will have to remove the mass of dirt or dig deep under the dirt, and, rocks that hide from them the real genuine diamond or Gold, or whatever precious material that on is seeking. In searching the word of God, we have to do the same thing  figural speaking, we need to dig down deep into the word to find the real message that God has placed into the Word for us to be sustained in our everyday lives. One thing that I want the reader to understand is that God has not written the word of God, that it would and cannot be understood, as some has said. There is those that believe that God word cannot be understood fully by us human beings. I fine this is a copout for an excuse for those that believe that to, well, relieve them of the responsibility of searching and removing the over burden, like that of a miner.

 The reader must understand that God has instated into Jesus Christ a solution to all of mankind's needs and desires. God made the world and all things that exist in Jesus Christ. Col. 1:17 (KJV) 

    And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Notice that this verse states right up front that Jesus is before all things, This is why that we must put him before any decision that is to be made, if we are to know what God  has placed in his plan for us. You and I cannot find or arrive at completion until we realize this first of all.  Most, when reading and trying to understand The book of Revelation, want to start this revelation from the time that John was on the Isle of Patmos. This is a mistake, You cannot make the revelations of this book be understood by this method. Revelation must be taken back, and way back, before time ever came into existence. To say that Revelation started at Patmos, is saying that Jesus did not exist before that time. To many he did not exist to them. That does not limit him to that existence...that of when he real exists to a individual. Jesus said right up front to John. Rev. 1:11 (KJV) 

    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.

I could refer the reader to many more passages that tell of his existence, where he was before all things, and that all things exists through him. I have already in these writing revealed that to the reader, so I shall continue on to what I feel is very important.

When we sit down to a computer we can look at the monitor in front of us and can in an instant see what our mind is trying to reveal and the actions of our fingers as we type this information on the keyboard.  As long as it is on the screen of the monitor, it is in an unsafe state, and by that I mean that anything can happen, such as the power can go off or the computer hard drive can crash, causing you to lose all of your thoughts that you have typed into the computer. I had that to happen to me, as, one day I typed those things that The Spirit revealed to me into the computer, for about two and half hours I was receiving such an anointing and was so involved in the typing that I forgot to save it and, you guessed it, the power went off and there went from the computer memory all that I had typed for those two and half hours. I said in despair, Oh No, I tried to recover it and to no avail all was lost on the computer. Now  I have and do keep in mind to save the information every few minutes. This is the way it is with reading the Word of God, and that is why The Lord caused the ones that received  the word of God to write it in what we call the bible, or a group of books. John made mention of the fact that all the things that Jesus did was not recorded in the Bible and couldn’t, because the world itself couldn’t contain the books that would record all the things that Jesus did. John 21:25 (KJV) 

    And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Some would say that the Bible and the saying is all that God wants us to understand, and I would be the first to admit that if we understood the bible and held it in our hearts and walked in it, yes, it is sufficient to take you through this world. I also have to hold onto the Idea that God is still speaking to his prophets today and has spoken to his prophets every since the beginning and has revealed to those his prophesies and I am convinced that all that God has revealed, that, it has not been recorded.  These words in this text or document, I  believe, has been given to me through the Holy Ghost and that the Holy Ghost still today and will until the Lord comes back, is spiritual and is beneficial and does not in any way  take away from that which is written in the Bible. I never want to add to the Bible, or, take anything away from the Bible, and I know that it is the Inspired word of God.

I guess I should at this time get into what I have received by the Spirit, That is, how important it is to each of us to realize that, and we must understand, that when all things came into existence that Jesus was there and he was before it all.  I want the reader to understand that for to receive from God, you must see that which, not only exists at the time of the need or occasion,  you must see that any and every answer or solution to that which we need or desire, has been before the foundation of the world, and the answer or solution was placed into Jesus Christ before it ever existed in this existence. What I am saying to the reader is, that you cannot exist  yourself and did not just come into existence when you were conceived in the womb nor when your mother and father came into existence, you were there in Jesus Christ before the world and the Heavens were in existence. I believe that unless that the existence of the world and those things that exists in the world, had they not have been in Jesus Christ they could not have existed at all. John 1:3 (KJV) 

    All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

David in the Twenty Third Psalm revealed this to the reader if we will dig into the truth of just what David was saying, In fact what he and all the others that wrote the Bible, all that they said and recorded, was in essence written or recorded in Jesus Christ before it was spoken by that individual. Notice in the Twenty Third Psalm, how that David, when he speaks, he speaks of that which is and was already.  It just doesn’t comes to the screen like a computer doesn’t bring it on the monitor, until it is typed, and it cannot be typed until the mind receives and when it is typed it has to be saved onto the hard drive and after it is save onto the hard drive, it then can be printed out and this is what we call a hard cope.  At that point it is ready to become the instructions, or like a road map, will lead the reader to the understanding of the mind that has received this information,  At this point, the writing, and the information that has come from either God or the enemy becomes available to the one that needs to receive it. Then the individual, at that point, can take the information and place it into their memory y and go away enlightened to that which he or she might benefit or, on the other hand, this information could damage this individual, This is why it is important for us to know God through the Holy Ghost. It doesn't mean that we are not to be exposed to just the Holy and Just things, we are confronted with all sorts of information, We can, like a computer, and do have the ability to filter out certain things that are not for our benefit.  The computer has filters in its system that will filter out evil things, such as, pornography,  and any other things that we don’t want to have come before our eyes.

We are to pray without ceasing. 1 Thes. 5:17 (KJV) 

    Pray without ceasing.

You see the more that we rejoice and pray and give thanks to God, we turn on the filter that filters those object able devices that Satan throw at us. We are to put on the whole armor of God. Why,  We as soldiers of the Lord are vulnerable to the attack of the enemy. Unless we have the armor of God, we are like a soldier in battle without a weapon and without any training. We would not send a soldier to the battle field to fight and defend our nation and freedom without we give him the most extensive training and arm him with the tools and weapons that would take the enemy out of action. I can’t sometime understand how that God delivers us as much as he does, the way that we face the enemy. God’s people must and I reemphasize they must be equipped with whole armor of God.

David had his moments that he looked like he would and should be destroyed by God, We must see that David had something that kept him in good standing with God, after all he was the apple of Gods eye. Deut. 32:10 (KJV) 

    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.

Zech. 2:8 (KJV) 

    For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that teacheth you teacheth the apple of his eye.

God placed into Jesus Christ a plan and that plan cannot be disannulled by our actions. God proved this with David and he also proved his majesty over and over with those that were call according to his will.

Daniel 4:35 (KJV) 

    And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Israel, the ones he called out to make his name great, they made an agreement with hell, only to find that God disannulled it. Isaiah 28:18 (KJV) 

    And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

If you and I think that what we do can stop God from accomplishing his will; then we are fools.

Isaiah 14:24 (KJV) 

    The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

Isaiah 14:26-27 (KJV) 

    This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. [27] For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Ephes. 1:9 (KJV) 

    Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Ephes. 3:11 (KJV) 

    According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

So, to the reader I say, whatever decision that you make, whether it be of God or of Satan, God has known this before the world began and has placed in Jesus Christ a solution and for us to know what the solution is, we cannot compare the things of the world or the flesh, or, should I say the outward appearance to the will of God. We must speak that which is there in Jesus Christ and the only way that we can speak and know what the mind or the things that God placed in Jesus before the world came into existence, is to be Filled with the Holy Ghost and to have the Holy Ghost is to have the mind of God the Father and Jesus Christ his son available at all times and in every give situation. This is why that it states that when we have done all that we know to do, then we are to stand. Stand on what, not our ability, we are to stand upon that, like David did, David did not stand on his own righteousness, had he done that he would lose the battle, David said, as he was going to battle, Shall I go Up. 2 Samuel 2:1 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

2 Samuel 5:19 (KJV) 

    And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

1 Chron. 14:10 (KJV) 

    And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

Are you being defamed by Satan?. Is he throwing the fiery darts at you continuously?  What damage has he done to you?  Take the shield of Faith, that you may quench all, It says ALL, of the fiery darts. not just a few, but all.

You may ask how is this possible?. First you need to approach God. A  lot of people want someone else to approach God  for them, like the children of Israel, when they were in sin and disobedient to the will of God.

 Exodus 34:35 (KJV) 

    And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

When we come into the mount of God and the only way that we can approach God is through his Grace and his Spirit. The Holy Ghost will make our face to shine with brightness, Eccles. 8:1 (KJV) 

    Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

This that was spoken long before the Day of Pentecost, came to light in Peter and in Stephen as they boldly stood in front of the Devil and his followers and proclaimed the word of God and those that were there couldn’t understand the wisdom that they had, especially peter, He was unlearned in this world’s wisdom. God infused him with power from on High and put in his mouth a sword and that sword was a two edged sword and it cut into the hearts of those that stood there. This sword went down to the marrow of the bones and thousand were converted and added to the church. This is what the prophet was talking about in Eccles. 8.1.  O my God, we need today an outpouring of the Spirit, not an outpouring of a will worship, but the true outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Most Christians and preachers are ashamed to Say... “Holy Ghost” they want to be careful to not run those that sit there in front of them, after all they are making merchandise of Jesus and this was told in the New Testament, that many would come saying” that Jesus was Christ” Luke 21:8 (KJV) 

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

Many speak of Christ with their mouth, but their hearts are far from God. Their hearts are far from the truth. We are not to go after them. Why would he not want us to go after them?. 2 Peter 2:3 (KJV) 

    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.

This is why that I say, that we don’t need any more books, and I have had reservations as to how and what  is the reason of this book. There is a book for just about anything that might be thought of. Certainly, we are to give and not to receive, although it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35 (KJV) 

    I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

When we look at these ministers on TV and listen to all of the lectures of how that we are to tithe and to give and to send for this book or tape, it kindly sticks into your crow, and if you let it, you would owe them. Paul had some words to say about giving, and we know that God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7 (KJV) 

    Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

There is many ways to Give, the first way is to give of ourselves, Paul said that he sought the person not their wealth. 2 Cor. 12:14 (KJV) 

    Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Do you stand and demand that your children pay to you tithes and give something that most of the time, they don’t have. It makes me sick to see a pastor stand in a large Cathedral and lay a guilt trip on the people to get enough money to keep the big beautiful church building going and maybe and even so, some widow that is there can’t even buy the food that she needs for her children. or even for herself, she no doubt scrubs and irons and have gotten calluses so that she can keep that minister, or whatever he is, i have my opinions, and I will not waste my words on this foolishness, Yes that big preacher standing with his suit and mouth can drive the best because he practiced how to lay a guilt trip on the people, Where do we go. Maybe we base it on Solomon,  we all like to be Solomon. Solomon took the wealth and he concluded that he had missed the whole point, and said that all was vain. Eccles. 1:2 (KJV) 

    Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Who are you, Where did you get you credentials? and what for? . Do you lay grievous burdens on the people and not lift one finger to relieve them. What is the Credentials of that of Jesus Christ as he walked on the dusty paths, Look at his Credentials, John 13:6-17 (KJV) 

    Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? [7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. [8] Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. [9] Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. [10] Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. [11] For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. [12] So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? [13] Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. [14] If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. [15] For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. [16] Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. [17] If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

In these passages, does it show him siting in Gold Chairs and doing all these great things to be seen of men. Remember  the false prophet, he will be able to do great miracles in the sight of the beast. Rev. 13:14 (KJV) 

    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.

What is the Image of the beast?, Remember that in the Garden of Eden, There it was said that the Devil was more Subtle than any of the beast of the field. Genesis 3:1 (KJV) 

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Have you not read what Ezekiel wrote about who was to be destroyed? Ezekiel 31:18 (KJV) 

    To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

 

Ezekiel 32:31-32 (KJV) 

    Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord God. [32] For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

 

Ezekiel 39:11 (KJV) 

    And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.

These passages warns us that the multitude, which is many, will be following after the flesh, and Satan took on the flesh as his habitation, and to set himself in the seat of God. Ezekiel 28:2 (KJV) 

    Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

I asked God a few years back, God how can the devil cause the multitude to take the mark of the beast and do it so easily, after all he causes all both rich bond and free to take the mark, I was puzzled and then God gave me that answer. God said to me. Son, where is my Temple, I then replied ... “in the heart” Then God said that the reason that it is so easy for him to cause them to take them mark  was , that they deny and reject God in their hearts and that Grace withholds that mark until the church is rapture, then the mark that is already in the heart will be revealed. 2 Thes. 2:6 (KJV) 

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

As long as Jesus sits on the Right Hand of The Throne and occupies the hearts of his believers, Satan does not have the power to place that mark on any individual. But, after the Holy Ghost sweeps down and pulls the Saint up into the Air, Then, and Then only, Will there not be one Save Christian on Earth and Then Satan will do what God did through Jesus Christ, He will with the power of all those that have chosen him as their master, Satan will incarnate himself by full authority of the people and set up his image and false Prophet, In one sense he has set many false prophets' up and has had those who will, not only be deceived themselves, but work hard to deceive those that are disobedient to the truth and who love the wages of sin. Those that walk in darkness and have not the light of the Gospel. I have never seen a time like this, as Winston Churchill said. The flesh is exalted on every side and this is for certain the evidence of that of the coming of Satan with all of his deceivableness. We are warned to not be deceived several times over in the bible. 2 Thes. 1:7-2:12 (KJV) 

    And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [8] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: [9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; [10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. [11] Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: [12] That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    [2:1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, [2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. [3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? [6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. [7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As you read these passages, pay close attention to the fact that it is the flesh that is ruling in these that will be destroyed with the brightness of his coming.

Let me warn you that when they want you to and go about to exalt the man instead of the Risen Savior, then there is at that time a strong delusion among them and  That  God is the one that sends these strong delusions, the reason is that when God calls and speaks to them, they glorify the flesh and not Jesus Christ. It would do well that we all get down, and I know that you can read for you are reading this. Get down into the Spirit and the word of God and ask God in truth, Shall you Go Up?. God will take you up and sit you down with Jesus and through the Holy Ghost will lead you into all truth and get your eyes off of those that exalt themselves and make merchandise of you. God is not in the desert or over in Jerusalem, His spirit is throughout the earth, God lives in  our heart and is as Close as Our Mouth. Call on him not man and you will find like Paul, you will be given a revelation of God Word. That Revelation will catch you in the Spirit and you cannot tell whether you were in the body or not.

There is those that are looking to the land of Israel for the signs of the coming of the lord, we have to remember that God is not a respecter of person and Paul dealt with this and  when we look to Israel the nation and not the Israel of above, i believe we are placing our faith in the flesh instead of the Spirit.  God wanted to make a nation, using Moses, The reason that he wanted to do this was that he had about all that he could take from the fleshly minded people that he had called out of all the nations of the world, God wanted to, and did choose these to do his will. Yet they went a whore-ing after false Gods and turned their back on God so many times and there at the bottom of the mountain, while Moses was receiving the Law, they made a false god and committed lewd acts. This mountain lit up with the Glory of God and even Moses Face did shine, Moses could not look upon the Glory of God in his full Glory. God had to put his Hand and hide him behind his hand and let Moses see only the after part of his Glory. This represented Jesus, which was the Hand that Moses hid behind.  The bible clearly states that no man has seen The Father at any time, no one except Jesus which had seen him. Moses was not able to see the Face of The Father and had he saw it, he would have been consumed there on the spot. Jesus was there to hide the full power from that mortal man called Moses. Jesus came and walked among  men and revealed the father to us and we today can, like Moses, have the brightness of the Wisdom of God, that is the Holy Ghost, not only upon us, but we can have it to dwell in our lives.  Again, when Jesus came he came to the nation of Israel, that is the Israel of the flesh and  as the Law pointed to Calvary, that same Law that the Jews of the flesh trusted became the Judge and Jury to those carnal Jews and they had the sentence of death upon the along with the rest of the world.  The Law that was given on Mt Sinai does not discriminate against different races. The law of Moses reminds everyone that the sentence of death that was imposed there in the Garden of Eden is prevalent on each of us. When death comes it doesn’t care who you are and how rich, or how beautiful you are. The law was made for the trucebreakers and as Paul said, he was involved so much in keeping the law, that he did not see the Messiah that it pointed too. A lot of people, and these go to church and take part in the leadership in the church, can only see, as those Pharisee’s the commandants and not the Mercy. Paul said that they constrain you to be circumcised so that they can make a fair show.  In other words they have to have you under their yoke  and if you are not under their yoke, they would have to do the labor that they place upon you. I was with a  District Overseer and when we came from the meeting with the State Overseer, we walked to the Secretary's desk and he asked the Secretary and was making an inquiry about another  Pastor and his church and i will never forget the question that he asked, You see I would have thought that he would be concerned about the welfare of the church and the members and the pastor, if he was having a lot of souls saved,  What he asked was, how many tithes did he bring in for the month, as though if it was a race. We’ll I cannot and am not allowed to judge this brother in Christ, but I just couldn’t understand where the love for souls and that it should take precedence over how many tithes that came in the church that month.  I am here to say to you the reader that Flesh and Blood cannot please God and Flesh and Blood will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, yet we cannot get away from letting the flesh dominate our lives and by doing so, the Spirit cannot accomplish the will of the Father. Anything that Glorifies the Flesh, one needs to be aware. I realize that we must and do deal with the flesh, but as Paul said, there is nothing good about the flesh and when the end comes, this will be how that God gets rid of Satan, God will end all flesh and when all flesh is done away with, then Satan no longer has a habitation to dwell in. Satan was defeated at the Cross and was kicked out of the Heavenly places and arrived into the world into the hearts of mankind and as long a man gives him place in their lives, he will rain and continue to reign as the God of this world. If you are looking for a figure with a red suit and a pitch fork , you can forget that, that is a portrayal that man has dreamed up, the real devil is there with you as you walk along this life and he also walks side by side with you in the church. You see, he loves the uppermost seat and position. After all, If i were Satan I would go to the place that I could do the most harm, and that would be the church where men and women gather, Satan sits in the Heart and that is God’s temple. When he goes to church with you, he walks into the building with and inside a human that is fleshly and not Spiritually, O yes he can wear a robe of righteousness, he can preach, and he will say the truth to a certain point, until he catches you off guard and then he will let the hammer down on you and he will crush you into powder.

He only thinks of one thing, that is how he can hold his position and control everyone else, Remember that Jesus Girded the Towel on and bowed to his disciples to wash the dirt of their feet. He could not was the Pharisees feet. tor they were clean on the outside and did not need washing, Peter on the other hand was clean on the inside, he had a heart that Jesus had cleansed by the shedding of the blood, yet he had not died yet, but on the wise the plan was in effect and would be carried out to the letter. When Jesus died he died for each and everyone and there is no difference in  any of the races of the world. We make a difference by our actions, we make it impossible for those that would come to God, to come, I do believe that this is why the judgment will begin at the house of God. It doesn’t begin at the Barroom, God wants the heart and when he gets the heart, everything else will follow. Remember that David had salvation, not on his goodness, David deserved to go to hell and like each of us we deserve to go to hell, but thanks to God that from the heart we believe unto the righteousness, and the righteousness is not of our own, the righteousness of Jesus Christ did and will take us to the father and present us holy and blameless.

Now to sum up the truth  and to recap the thoughts that is written in this article or document, Jesus is everything  and in him is everything that is to exist and has existed from the beginning of time and to tap into that and have access to that which exists in Jesus Christ, can only be obtained through the Holy Ghost. Why then do men reject the Holy Ghost? Simply because they love the ways of the flesh and love the God of the flesh and love the wages of sin. This was the message that was there in the Garden of Eden to Eve, go ahead and be your own God, Take of the forbidden fruit and God will not hold you accountable, Today we are still standing in front of that Tree, and as i said that Tree is Satan's way of life, He knew God and He corrupted what God gave him and he wants to corrupt everyone that is born into this world, Satan knows that his days are numbered and he wants as much glory and will do just about anything to receive that glory.

 I can say a Paul said, when i would do good, evil is presence, the thing that i would do i do not and the thing that i allow not, that i do. Now if you find yourself in this situation, you need to look not unto flesh, but you need to look to the member inside you, that is if you have believed on God and repented of your sins, the member lies down deep in your Spirit and you cannot identify with it with anything that you flesh has to offer. this would include Father, Mother or Tithing, going to church, nothing in these ordnances can identify with that inward man. It can’t be purchased,  you can't be good or work it out. The only way is to fall into the Grace of God and admit as Paul said that, like Paul said, I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.  God strengthens us by the Quickening of the Holy Ghost and only the Holy Ghost knows what will Please the Father and the Holy Ghost does not, and I say , does not Glory anyone except the Lord Jesus Christ.  Anything that Glorifies anything else. Even the angles does not call themselves to be in glory, they only glorify  Jesus. As the scripture says, James 4:8 (KJV) 

    Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Joy of The Lord: December 8 2002

Neh. 8:10 (KJV) 

    Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Joy is mentioned 155 times in the Bible, We all know, or, we think that we know what Joy is. Let us go to strongs to find what it has to say about Joy; »Strong's Help simchah, Hebrew 8057, Strong's simchah,  sim-khaw'; from Hebrew 8056 (sameach); blithesomeness or glee, (religious or festival) :- x exceeding (-ly), gladness, joy (-fulness), mirth, pleasure, rejoice (-ing).

»Strong's Help sameach, Hebrew 8056, Strong's sameach,  saw-may'-akh; from Hebrew 8055 (samach); blithe or gleeful :- (be) glad, joyful, (making) merry ([-hearted], -ily), rejoice (-ing). »Strong's Help samach, Hebrew 8055, Strong's samach,  saw-makh'; a primitive root; probably to brighten up, i.e. (figurative) be (causative make) blithe or gleesome :- cheer up, be (make) glad, (have, make) joy (-ful), be (make) merry, (cause to, make to) rejoice, x very.

From this we can see that God clearly wants his people to share what he, God the Father, is and wants us to experience the same power that is of the Father. One might say that, Joy is the Existence of God, whether it be that that on the throne or whether it dwells in the existence of the creation of the world and all that is in the world.  To describe the nature or the existence of Joy, would only be described as one that has inside of that individual, a real overflowing of excitement. How can we be, or have this excitement in any given situation, whether the situation that surrounds us, be good or painful. we know that we as humans do suffer pain and that pain is evident in the lives of many people, this includes the ones that follow Jesus Christ and are born of the Spirit, The question is how can we find complete Joy, in any given area of our lives, whether it be a  grand experience or a painful experience. We know that when Jesus was on the cross that he, no doubt, felt the pain of the sins of the world in his flesh. Can we say that he did not feel any pain, after all he was  Very God in the flesh?. How can God feel pain? There is no sickness in the Father and he does not allow pain and suffering to dwell where he exists,

Rev. 21:4 (KJV) 

    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.

The bible here relates to the fact that the saints of God does have and has had pain and sorrow and have faced death. The above verse or passage states that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. This being true, why do we not have the Joy of the Lord continually in our lives. How can we laugh and make a joyful noise to the lord when we are being tormented with pain and suffering and when death takes one of our love ones from us.

It seems that the word of God makes a statement that is sometime difficult, or, nearly impossible to experience, especially in the heat of the sorrow and pain. Can the hearing of the Word, that is being preached, or the singing of a gospel song take all the pain away? Is it really to have Joy in all saturations, no matter how they appear?. If we are to have the strength to overcome the trials and the pain and suffering that we are experiencing, we need, in fact, come to reality and face the issue, and that issue is that we do feel the pain when pain has come to our fleshly bodies. Adam and Eve, when in the Garden of Eden, had no pain or sorrows until they took of the forbidden fruit. Why would God put in front of the a fruit that he did not want his creation of mankind, to partake of? This question has probley been asked over and over in the minds of the human race for centuries. Can we have Joy, even when we know that we are, not only having, but even when we can see the event unfold that will certainly bring sorrow and pain.

Who is responsible for the events that unfold, that affect our lives, whether it be good or bad? Can we argue the point that God should not have created both good and evil?. Genesis 2:9 (KJV) 

    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.

Here we can see that the Lord, out of the ground, made the lord God, To Grow, every tree that is pleasant to the sight.....notice that he acclaims for certain that these trees here that is to grow, is, pleasant to the Sight. Could this be the Joy that we are discussing? Is it here that we find the source of our strength?  We can see that these trees are good for food. Can we, through knowledge know  that the food that is pleasant to the eyes, is also, good for food?. Yes he is saying that the trees that is pleasant to the eyes is good for food. But, notice there in the creation is another Tree, and that tree, is like a backup tree, and what i mean is. that in case something goes wrong, that the lord had a backup plan ready and available. I just backed up these writings on the hard disc of my computer and the reason I did back it up, was that, the hard drive could crash and all the information that I have typed could be destroyed, I also back the information onto a floppy disk, just in case that the computer hard drive does crash, This make sense to not only be able to have it in my reach on the computer, but in case of failure that i can retrieve the information from another source, Here we can clearly see that God did everything right and everything that he created was good. Genesis 1:31 (KJV) 

    And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

So the question is, that if everything that God made was good, where did the Pain and suffering come from? I think we all can relate to the fact that the hard drive did crash and God lost a lot of information at that time, but, remember that i said on the computer that i also back up onto a floppy disc. This is the point that I want to emphasize strongly, God had a plan and he backed it up in more ways than we can Imagine, You might say that he is the Hard Drive and we can rest assured that His Hard Drive cannot ever Crash and he don’t have to worry about the power going off like we do, and as I said before that after writing for two and half hours, that the electricity went off and all the information that i had in memory in the computer had not been backed up and I suffered the loss of all that i had typed in the two and half hours. I think that we are touching on a issue here that is going to benefit each of us. What we need to do is not just see that which is pleasant to the Eyes, and notice that we are commanded not to judge according to the outward appearance. John 7:24 (KJV) 

    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

We are like Eve there in the Garden, and In fact we face the same situation and choice that she faced,  We can see with our eyes and see those things that we are sure that will be good for us and those around us, yet, we fail to realize that there in all those choices and i all of our visions of choices, there stands the Tree Of Life.  Had Eve and Adam  went into the Middle of the Garden, they did have total access to the Joy  that we are talking about. That Joy would have been  their strength to overcome the Beast that appeared to Eve and by taking of the fruit of the tree of life, they would have then been endowed with the power of the Holy Ghost to be able to cause the Subtle Beast that approached to be driven completely out of the Garden and would not have felt pain and sorrow and death.  When they looked with their eyes, you have to understand that they see just as you and I see, they saw the things that looked good and found pleasure in what they saw. Does this that Adam and Eve did, ring a bell with you and I today?  What do we look for in this environment? What are we seeing with our Eyes? and do we still make the same mistakes that Eve did? Can it be that we have in the middle of our environment a Tree Of Live standing there and that we have the same access to that tree of life. I am certain that Jesus was that Tree Of Life, that was in the Middle of the Paradise, and that Same Tree of Life is still in the Middle of Paradise, and like Jesus told the thief on the cross:

Luke 23:43 (KJV) 

    And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

We can see here that the Paradise that Adam and Eve did not go away and cease to exist. Here, Jesus was confirming the words of that in Genesis's. Paradise is the Joy of the lord and I am Convinced that Jesus was telling the on there that believed on him, he was saying that you have this day found the tree of life that has been in paradise and you have just taken of that tree and you have not made the mistake of that which Adam and Eve made and by you doing so, you have taken hold of eternal life and now enter into the Joys of the Lord and cease from all the pain and suffering that we are experiencing. Jesus said: Rev. 2:7 (KJV) 

    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.

Can, you the reader, understand that Paradise does exist, and to make known to you what exactly that paradise is, we, would have to go to the upper room and see what exactly took place after the resurrection of Christ, and see what was fulfilled and just what this means to the one that wants Joy in their lives, and who wants stringent in their lives. Listen to what it Says. Acts 2:2 (KJV) 

    And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Yes here we have one hundred twenty hungry souls that have with their eyes, have been looking at the trees that have looked good to the eyes in everyday life and have found that while it was good for food and have sustained them somewhat, yet, those things has not been able to keep them from making choices that has caused pain and suffering to come, not only on them,  but has come on mankind for centuries. The recorded word and warnings has been penned and proclaimed every since that of the Fall of mankind. Mankind has in one sense failed miserably.  Everything these one hundred twenty represents is that man cannot and does not have the ability to make the pain and suffering go away. We cannot have the pain and suffering go away by the action of anyone or anything except that we are to go to the one that was there in the middle of the Garden and look and not only look but must be partakers of that fruit that has in itself the remedy to cure all pain and even shut out the pain of death and will with the authority of that fruit, take authority over the grave, where this tabernacle that has been stained with pain and suffering and which the Sentence of Death has been placed, not only on our lives, but on everyone that has come into this world ever since that of Cain. Yes this Joy that i am speaking of that the thief experienced is that same Joy that came down in the upper room and sat upon each of them, we can see that that Joy took the form of a dove, and we know that the dove is the most Humble of all of the For us, and symbolizes total peace,

When King Solomon  decorated the temple there were such Joy that the Priest were not able to minister; 1 Kings 8:10-11 (KJV) 

    And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, [11] So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

We are familiar with the proclamation that Peter made;  Peter said that this is that which was spoken of by Joel the Prophet;

Acts 2:16 (KJV) 

    But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

Not only did Joel refer to this day of Pentecost, There were many more references or should we say, Prophesies that were proclaimed. The one thing that I want you the reader to understand that these Priests could not stand to minister when God’s Glory came down  into the mist of the congregation,  Notice that, right the Opposite happened on the day of  Pentecost. Instead of not being able to minister, here we see that they were empowered to be able to stand and minister. Not only those Disciples were made to stand boldly and proclaim the Gospel with the Anointing, all the others were empowered with the Anointing and as the Spirit Gave Utterance, they began to speak in every langue of those of other nations that had come  to that area. The tongue that had been used to set the course of Hell on fire now had a new message to those of the world. Of course they that were doubters and those who never really did get into the act wasn’t called to the upper room to receive the experience of the Joy that was coming from on High. but as the prophet said when they finished the Walls.  

Neh. 8:10 (KJV) 

    Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength

There was enough in this experience to send to those whom nothing is prepared. 

2 Chron. 5:14 (KJV) 

    So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

2 Chron. 7:1 (KJV) 

    Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.

Ezekiel was allowed to enter into the inner court, this inner court was the hearts of mankind, where the temple of God is and, as Christ died and shed his blood, this was the offering that taketh away the sins of the world, this was the only one that could give Joy  to the believer, and Ezekiel went into, through visions, into the heart of God, and Saw Jesus Christ, the High Priest ministering as he was proclaiming the express image of the Father, Ezekiel, was, in essence, taken through visions to the Garden of Eden and was shown what was there all the time, This was there for Adam and Eve, sadly they choose to only take that which is what the eyes, not the spiritual eyes, wanted to see. and found, like a lot of us today, things look pleasant to look on. We can see here that, Satan will even mix the good with the evil, in order to trap us and draw us away, after all we are like Eve and Adam, we are drawn away by our own lust and temptations.

James 1:14 (KJV) 

    But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

It states that every man is tempted. When he is drawn away Can we say that as most say, That the devil made me do it and that I am tempted all the day long, Why are we tempted all the time, In this passage of the scripture. we are tempted, when we are drawn away, not because of the evil that is in front of us, but we took of the fruit just like Eve did and then she gave to her husband, she convinced him to eat with her. Now that was a simple effort on her part or was it. let's look and see what might have took place.  We know that she must have been the beauty of all beauty, She was more beautiful that Satan was, and he was the most adorned Angle among the Host of

Angles.

Ezekiel 31:18 (KJV) 

    To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God.

He is referring to the flesh, and this was what Adam and Eve was there in the Garden of Eden. Adam was taken from the Earth and Eve was taken from Adam, so each of them was of the Earth. As the Earth was corrupted by Satan and caused Darkness to come upon the face of the deep, he also caused the Earth to be void. God  picked up a handful of Dust and breathed the breath of live into Adam and he became a living Soul and God planted a Garden, Now when God plants a seed the seed grows and becomes of value. As seed that is planted by God here in this world, both in the Earth and  in the hearts of mankind, that seed becomes a eternal soul only if that seed goes into good soil and by going into good soil, and by the tender care of the Holy Ghost, it can be a strong refuge to all those that come to take part of the shade or the Glory that is cast from the life of that individual.

God gave Glory to the nation of Israel and clothed them and took care and delivered them through many battles and victory always was there for the asking.

Ezekiel 43:5 (KJV) 

    So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house.

Ezekiel 44:4 (KJV) 

    Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell upon my face.

I believe here is the forthcoming prophesies of the Holy Ghost being poured out on the church at the day of Pentecost. Here is the Glory, and we can see the Joy, which is the strength of the believer.

Are we looking at the pleasant fruit, the easy way, or the way that we think in ourselves is the way that we should take? Lot looked on the Green Valleys and everywhere it was watered, and Lot found himself right smack dab in the middle of temptations, No one was to blame, but Lot himself, and if you are enticed by what you see with your eyes and like the fruit that you can see with those eyes that are in your forehead, then you will find that like all of us we are victims of what the following verse is saying, James 1:14 (KJV) 

    But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

When you are drawn away by your own lusts and desires and enticed, then are you tempted. We need to put the horse in front of the wagon. We need to hold ourselves accountable to the things that we ourselves decide to lust for. Strongs makes it clear that what is taking place.Strongs is giving us insight to what happened in the Garden of Eden. ( »Strong's Help deleazo, Greek 1185, Strong's deleazo,  del-eh-ad'-zo; from the base of Greek 1388 (dolos); to entrap, i.e. (figurative) delude :- allure, beguile, entice. have been enticed to take the fruit by your choice, and

»Strong's Help dolos, Greek 1388, Strong's dolos,  dol'-os; from an obsolete primary dello (probably meaning to decoy; compare Greek 1185 (deleazo)); a trick (bait), i.e. (figurative) wile :- craft, deceit, guile, subtilty.)

Eve said herself, that Satan beguiled her.

Genesis 3:13 (KJV) 

    And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

She did admit that she did, she made the choice to yield to the temptation. After she yielded to the temptation, she found satisfaction in the thing that she consented to. What was that fruit? I am convinced that it was something more than a apple tree. We can look at what the bible says about consenting to that when we are tempted.

We can see here in the next verse written to the church at Corinth that  the mind is what Satan is after, if Satan can corrupt the mind, he can defile everyone and everything around us.

2 Cor. 11:3 (KJV) 

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

When your minds are corrupted, or should we say, set upon the things that are not of God, how does that effect our well being and how does that affect us in our relation to Christ?.

Ezekiel 24:25 (KJV) 

    Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,

If that which you Glory in this life is taken from you, Your sons and daughters, this is, in this life, outside of God himself, the greatest Joy and Strength that a parent can have. When we lose these, as Job did, when he was tried and allowed to come and take everything away from Job, except his life, We can see the results of the Pain and suffering that Job endured, and on top of all the misery, her came to him, those friends, or so called, friends and begin to tell him all of his faults. Job begin to open his mouth and in bitterness he cursed the day that he was born and said that it would be better if he had been still born. His children, no doubt had disregarded the instructions that Job, their father, had taught them, and since that Job had gotten wealth and much wealth from God, the children were partying and drinking and whoring around, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and Job had made intercessions for them even while they were doing the lewd acts, and even prayed that they might not sin, before that they did sin. In all of this Satan came not to Job at this instant. Satan was roaming around through the earth and God asked him if he had considered his servant Job. Satan said to God.

Job 1:10 (KJV) 

    Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Here we can see the reality of the pain and suffering that is imposed upon us at times. In this same experience, we  can, see the end results of that of how God in his plan, can and will defeat Satan in his efforts to distort the truth and to cause harm to those that believe and follow the Lord.

We may not have the same situation take place in our lives, but we do have the same fruit on tree’s that are in front of us. and when we look at the fruit, we can easily be beguiled and through subtlety find ourselves corrupted and that our minds will far from the real Joy that God wants us to have. 

When you look long enough and see that the thing that you are lusting after, is pleasant to your eyes, then, bam, you are tempted. then and only then are you tempted, This bring up a issue that goes to the center of the focal point that where I asked the Question, whether we can have Joy in any given situation, and the answer is simply, Yes we can have Joy, because like Stephen, we can look steadfastly toward heaven, that is if we are filled with the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Stephen looked upward and not on the trees that looked good to the average eye, therefore he had the Joy and by having this Joy, he had the strength to lay down his life, just as Jesus had power to lay down his life for you and I, Stephen laid down his life for the cause and the promotion of the existence of the Tree in the middle of the garden. When we keep our eyes in the middle of the Garden and head that way, we will find that that fruit is eternal and not like the fruit that we eat of this world.

As I have said, Satan attacks the mind, and this is accomplished through the lust that we bring upon ourselves as we look with our eyes to those things that seem to be exciting or pleasurable. Satan cannot tempt you at all if your mind is on the Lord continuously.

Ezekiel 36:5 (KJV) 

    Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

As the heathen that continually wanted to have that which God had given to his people and would go to any extreme to gain or steal those things of God, they wanted it for themselves and  for their own desires. These can and will take a prey like a bird of prey, the sore high and sweep down on those that they can devour and tear them to pieces and fill themselves with the fat and after the take that by deceit then they set themselves up and boast of how righteous they are and all the time the fire of the Lord is silently waiting and is stirred up in Gods jealousy and God said that he will and does come at a hour when they think not and then their portions are of that of a hypocrite.

Matthew 24:51 (KJV) 

    And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Titus 1:15 (KJV) 

    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.

we can also sear our conscience.

Hebrews 9:14 (KJV) 

    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?

One could easily understand what is meant by the word depression, which means that we are in a state of hopeless, in despair.

What brings this one is the fact that we allow Satan, through the experiences of this life, to corrupt our way of thinking and we become accustomed to his perilous ways. Instead of saying that I had rather fight than switch, we given in and say that i rather suffer than to have to fight. We learn to cope in any given situation and accept the consequences.

Water, when it begins to rain doesn’t come down in, most of the time, in buckets full, it comes in a steady rain and when it begins to fall, if the ground is loosen and been eroded it will begin with ease to take the loose soil and wash it away. Then we can see that what is left is not good to plant a seed into and can never be restored to the original state. This is what happens to a lot of us. Little by little Satan begins to wash away our minds and causes us to be like the substance after the soil is washed away. What we see then brings depression and we think of what we had and no longer have it. Most of the time there is a remedy to the fact that like the soil consideration people, they want  us to not be careless and to keep the soil from eroding away. God wants to equip you with the Holy Ghost and through the Holy Ghost, will seal you until the day of redemption.

Ephes. 1:13 (KJV) 

    In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Notice it says that in whom ye trusted, after that you heard, and after ye took the advise that was sent from heaven. Now after that you made up your mind to believe and to call on Jesus and ask him into your life, you have the promise that was spoken of by Joel the Prophet, and that promise was there on the day of Pentecost and it is to all of those that will call on Jesus and who will allow the Holy Ghost to have a open mind to come into your heart. the Holy Ghost is what purifies and filters out those unwanted devices that Satan has brought into this world. You mind, when in sin, and when you were away from God, had no knowledge of that which God has in store to those that love him, who walk not after the flesh, but who walk after the spirit. To sum up this day of typing and that which I have been given, This has come to the mind of this writer, not by my own, but has been given by the Holy Ghost and I too can and will have the strength to endure through the Joy of the Lord. that Joy is the Holy Ghost and God wants me to be with him in Glory and by the help of God and the Holy Ghost I will say, “I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever”. This is a eternal matter and why should we the children of God let Satan divert us from the plan of God that was place in Jesus Christ before the world begin. I thank God for his son Jesus Christ and I extol him and lift his name above all other names. He is worthy to be praised and to have the Honor of all the people and the all the things that are and ever will exist.

We want to deal with Simplicity today. I believe that When Eve was confronted by the Serpent that the spent was able to take away the simplicity of Eve’s mind. For this reason I want to let the reader read what Paul had to say to the ones that had gotten away from the simplicity of Jesus Christ. We find that as Paul had been taught under teaching of Gamaliel, This teacher was noted for his wisdom, especially the Law. we can see the effect that the teaching had on individuals that came into his classroom. With the knowledge that Paul was able to obtain by this Teacher, by the way, this teacher was recognized  by those of his time as one that could  take an individual and equip that individual to be accepted through the community and maybe throughout the world.  It is the same today as it was then, we have ourselves in the world those intuitions', such as, Harvard, Yale and Princeton, the which you must have or be a individual that has achieved a very high level of degree of intelligence in order to attend those intuitions'. In other words, one must be real smart and be able to conform to the things of this life. Another way is to say, You must know someone and have someone promote or recommend you for that which is accounted to be the accepted way for an individual to achieve the results that would be recognized by the society that we live in. Paul had climbed that ladder to success in the Law and had armed him with the armor of that which had been proven over and over in the ways of those that had gained their superiority. This was a successful effort in the eyes and seemed to be the right way for an individual to be able to achieve such a goal. What we need to realize that as the bible said that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

1 Cor. 3:19 (KJV) 

    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

We should realize that the wisdom of this word  was given to Satan to Glorify him and to beatify him and God gave him all of his wisdom and he through his Subtilty, corrupted, not the wisdom, but took that wisdom and used it to gain Superiority over the other  one third of the Angles, in doing so, he became the judge and jury, as they say. What he said was the law, the trouble he himself became the a law of his on selfness control. Paul spoke these words...2 Cor. 11:3 (KJV) 

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

Eve had  been corrupted through Subtlety, and the mind was the target and the mind of those that Paul was talking to had been corrupted by Satan, We must understand that, Satan has a messenger, and Paul dealt with that in his teachings and read what he had to say about that...2 Cor. 12:7 (KJV) 

    And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

We can read these words and see that with the messenger of Satan was left to buffet at us for a very simple reason, that is, to keep us from exalting ourselves to where that God will not have a relationship with us. Most people think of Christians as simple people and will make derogatory remarks to the effect, and I have to admit that it offended me at first, now i believe that this can and is a complement. When someone is saying that, they are, in essence saying that you are a born again Christian and in living for Christ is not accepted by those that have exalted themselves to the level of that which is approved by society. As Christians, we are counted as the filth of the world, Not counted that way by God, but counted that way by those who think that they. whatever they are, as Paul said makes no difference to Paul... Galatians 2:6 (KJV) 

    But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

Satan was able to add to Adam and Eve, the penalty of sin, and we know that that penalty was death, not only to them, but to all mankind. Remember that he, Satan stood in front of Eve and begin to as the question...”has God said”...Genesis 3:1 (KJV) 

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

The approach was that he recognized  God  and he knew where he stood and he did not tell her that there was no God. Satan worked on the mind that God had given to Eve and he was very skilful in his tactics, that is why it was noted as Subtlety. Subtlety means to be cunning and crafty. There are individuals that are so cunning that, they can look you in the eye and take you for a ride and to the cleaners, as the saying goes. The thing that the Lord wants us to realize is that Satan works on the Mind. When Satan corrupts your mind, then he has corrupted you altogether. That is why we are to have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16 (KJV) 

    For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

We have the mind of Christ it we walk after the Spirit, and not of the flesh. Romans 8:1 (KJV) 

    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:4 (KJV) 

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

The simplicity of  being a Christian is to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2 (KJV) 

    For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

The more we learn of the world’s wisdom, if we are not careful, we will find ourselves being self dependent and not relying on Jesus Christ. This is to say just because we go to college or any school that it is detrimental to God and that God would not approve of you and I getting a higher education, it is what we do with that education, that makes the anvil fall on us. God used Paul’s credentials, him being a member of the San Hadrian court, and took advantage of the ability of that Paul had being a Roman Citizen. God was able to take Paul and us his education to witness to the Romans and to stand in front of Caser. That would be like us being able to stand in front of the President and make a proclamation that Jesus is Lord of all the earth and have him to recognize us as an individual that had been learned at Harvard or Yale. Then when we speak, the president would pay attention and listen.

When Satan took Jesus up into a high mountain and showed him All the Kingdoms of the world, we are not able to understand how he did this. Satan could have been in the Spirit of the World and Jesus being God, and able through the Spirit of God went up side by side with Satan and somehow Satan had the ability to bring upon the screen of time the long practiced achievements that he had, and the through the principalities and powers, he was able to show Jesus all of the Kingdoms of the World. I am positive or I feel that I can say that the Kingdoms of the world that he showed to Christ was the kingdoms that he had implemented into the hearts of men and women. Here we can see, as Geneses stated that the earth void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

Genesis 1:2 (KJV) 

    And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

We know that Satan when he is in control, will, corrupt everyone and everyone. This is the nature and he here with Jesus was up as high as he could exalt himself and Jesus being God in the Flesh, he being Higher that Satan could ever be, just let Satan show him all these things and then Jesus had a answer for him. Can you imagine the gall that it too for Satan to attempt to bring down the creator to his level. I would have to Say to those that think that Satan is in control, You are as Stupid as Satan was here. For the life of me, it is hard to imagine that Jesus would not just back hand him right there and slap him all the way into Hell.  But we must realize that God had planned to have his house full of children and had he done that there you and I would not be reading this article. I want to make it perfectly clear to you the reader, that Jesus is the plan of God and in that Plan is life to everyone that will take of it and follow it unto the end.

1 Peter 1:13 (KJV) 

    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;

I am just about to shout and praise God and to think that we can, through ourselves solve the problems that come our way is to be like Satan standing in front of Jesus Christ here in this exceedingly high mountain and think that he can cause Jesus to turn from the plan that he was and is for his saints and to let that low life devil that has persecuted the saints and robbed God of Souls that have given into his aggression,  At this point I must say that these Muslims that believe that they can enter into a life of peace through another way, and to those that have and do deny the Deity of Jesus Christ is to say that you will Stand in front of Jesus just Satan did, and you will be resurrected up to an exceeding high Throne and stand before the God that created you and I and  there you will, and I say, you will bow before him and recognize that he is Lord of lord and King of Kings, The sad part is that if you have serve another God, other than Jesus Christ, you will hear him say to you....Matthew 25:41 (KJV) 

    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:

You can see that in the Plan of God there is a place Prepared for Satan and Satan is aware of the place an Satan knows that it he can keep us from serving and testifying to others that God will not fill up his house with his children and Satan believes and knows that God has a plan and that Plan is Jesus Christ that all things exists and by him all things were created and for him and Satan is on the list to complete Gods plan and when he crucified Jesus and thought he was getting rid of the Heir, he was fulfilling the Plan of God right down to the letter. That is why that the word says that...1 Cor. 10:13 (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.

Why should we bear it?. Why should we have to go through the things that come to us?. Psalm 91:10 (KJV) 

    There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

With God on our side, how can we lose the battle?.  Have you fought a good fight? have you kept the faith?. If you are on the battlefield and have the sword of the spirit, and are marching with a shout and see the enemy on every side, just look through the anointing and see the armies of God encamped around on the mountains of faith. Let your eyes be anointed with the eye salve of the Holy Ghost and you will like the servant of Elisha  seen the armies of God and they are more that the troubles that you are experiencing. Rev. 3:18 (KJV) 

    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 eye salve, that thou mayest see.

2 Kings 6:15-17 (KJV) 

    And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? [16] And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. [17] And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Jesus said to Peter...Luke 22:31-32 (KJV) 

    And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: [32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

No matter how many arrows that Satan throws our way, we can rest assured that the Armies of God are Greater and that the one that Prayed for Peter, that he not be sifted like wheat, That one is on the Right Hand of The Throne of God and is making intercessions for us and does not rest day and night, tor there is no darkness there, there if no sin there, there is no Satan and his Angles there, Jesus wiped the slate clean for us and took hold of Satan and cast him down to the Earth and his wrath is great toward the saints of God because of the Fall that he has received, and I say to you, rest a little while and it will all be over, Rev. 12:12 (KJV) 

    Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

But we are not citizens of this world if we are washed in the blood of the Lamb and we shall behold the one that Saved and redeemed us from these troubles. Rev. 21:24 (KJV) 

    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.
