We are walking in today:  Detour

Last week the weekend meditation was: “Is There A Warrant Out For Your Arrest?” You need to know that you have made bail because who the Son sets free, is free indeed! You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free! When you come out of bondage, you have to be trained, instructed, and taught. You have to get a new mindset and a revelation. The scales have to fall off of your eyes. Yeshua has made you free! When you come out of bondage, the King has to talk to you and tell you about the kingdom. As we prepare to walk in 613 principles, we first have to give you the keys to the kingdom. Our weekend meditation is: “Detour”. You were on a road that seems right to man. You were on a road where you were blind and the Lord has come by with a word that says: “Detour”. Take a detour in your mind. You need to take a detour for where He’s taking us. You just got out of prison! You just got out of bondage! You just came out of slavery! You’ve been taught their traditions and their ways, so now you have to take a detour. The Gospel of the Kingdom is an invitation for man to return to the realm of life that God originally intended. God does not set up a standard of morality and declare that when you have achieved it you can enter the kingdom. There is one requirement for entrance: repenting before sin and spiritual rebirth. Through repenting and accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, you are born into the kingdom and become a kingdom resident. Residency in the kingdom of God requires a new lifestyle governed by the laws of the kingdom. Life in the spiritual kingdom affects the quality of life in the visible world. The lifestyle of the kingdom is the exact opposite of the lifestyle of kingdom of the world. It is different in both structures and principles. When you enter into the lifestyle of the kingdom of God, it’s like immigrating to a new country. You must learn a different culture. In the natural world, culture is the behavior pattern which governs life in a given society. You must live by kingdom principles to maintain residency. Although repentance is the only requirement for entry into the kingdom, there are definite requirements to maintain residency after being born into the spirit realm. Jesus said, “Not everyone that says unto me ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven”. The will of the Father revealed by Jesus Christ was that believers be governed by the laws of the kingdom. Jesus said that kingdom principles are important. It’s about the kingdom! Jesus taught that the kingdom should be the primary concern of life. He concluded with this statement, “but rather seek ye the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.” If you seek the kingdom first, its principles, its lifestyle, its gospel, then all other necessary things in life will be added. Fruits of the kingdom are the tests of possessions. Jesus told the Jews that the test of possessing the kingdom was bringing forth the fruits thereof. The fruit of the kingdom is that which is outwardly produced by the inward life flow just as the fruit on a natural tree is the outward product of the flow of life within. If you are a resident of the kingdom of God it will be apparent in your visible lifestyle. We have to know the principles. The foundation in the natural world is the underlying structure on which something is built. The foundation supports the super structure, or the visible building. The foundation of the kingdom of God and its governing principles is righteousness. The foundation of God’s kingdom stands on righteous men living righteous lives. The two greatest principles are to love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. Each kingdom principle relates either to your relationship with God or your relationship with others. One of the principles of God is unity. In unity is where God commands the blessing. There are many earthly kingdoms all divided from one another. There are also divisions within earthly kingdoms, which results in revolution. God’s kingdom is one united kingdom. It’s described as one body with many parts. One of the main purposes of unity in the kingdom of God is the unlimited power it produces. We have to penetrate the world as light and salt. In the natural world, salt works silently. In the spiritual world, kingdom residents are to penetrate the world as salt. They are to preserve the values and qualities of the kingdom. In the natural world, light shows the way in darkness. The kingdom resident is to be a light in the world to expose and show the way out of darkness. Prayer is the principle thing. Prayer in the kingdom is based on three principles: Asking, Seeking, and Knocking. Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto to. Amen.  To hear this again click here.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  Take a detour to the kingdom of heaven and live by His principles!

Truly Forgive From The Heart!

Leviticus 19:17-18; Matthew 16:14-15; Mark 11:25; Romans 3:23; Matthew 18:21,18:15; Psalm 32; Ephesians 4:26; Romans 12:18; James 5:20; I Corinthians 11:28; John 3:16; Colossians 3:13; Philippians 3:13-14; Isaiah 43:18-19; Hebrews 10:30; Matthew 5:10,12; Luke 23:34

We are walking in today:  Truly Forgive From The Heart!

This morning we have Minister Tracy who is teaching on forgiveness.  All praise and glory to the Almighty God for bringing us such an on time word--that we do a self examination to see if we are holding a ought against our brother.  Thank You Elohim for getting us cleaned up!  Thank You for Your patience and sending us this word of correction! Amen!

If there is unforgiveness in your heart towards others, God will not forgive you. When you have something in your heart against someone, you are not free to love God. Unforgiveness is like a cancer or sore and it keeps you bound to unforgiving and those feelings. God needs you to not have anything between you and Him. You’re focused on what that person did and there is nothing inside of you that is cleansed so you can’t go before God. In the Torah, God gave instructions for purification and cleanliness for the body and the spirit as well. That’s why He wants us to forgive people. Trespass means to act unfaithfully, or to injure a person or property or rights of another committed with force or violence actual or implied. When someone hurts us intentionally or unintentionally, we can immediately forgive them and move on or we can harbor unforgiveness in our hearts, which is a sin. But how can it be a sin when someone hurts us? We all need to be and want to be forgiven. If you don’t forgive men of their trespasses, then God won’t forgive you. How can you ask God to forgive you when you won’t forgive another? Jesus told Peter that we should forgive our brother up to 70 X 7 times. Jesus wants us to restore our brother and forgive him as often as it takes, for as long as it takes, as many times as it takes. Peter takes it for granted that he has to forgive. God multiples His pardons and so should we. Our nature makes us not want to forgive too much because it makes us feel weak. God’s word tells us to forgive people regardless of what other people advise you to do. They have found that unforgiveness in your heart medically impacts you physically. It causes illness in people. People get depressed. People get sick. People die because of unforgiveness! It’s like an open wound. It’s like taking a scab off of a sore. You can’t heal. Someone said, “Time heals clean wounds. Soiled wounds fester and infect.” If you let time and forgiveness clean the wound, you can move on. Forgiveness should be habitual. We are blessed when we forgive a transgression. The Bible tells us not to let the sun go down on our wrath or in other words, our anger. Jesus said if we succeed in making peace with our fellow man that we have gained a brother. We are to try diligently to get the one who has wronged us to see the truth and to be set free. We even see unforgiveness in the church. In order to live and fellowship with other believers we must forgive. Forgiveness is not always an easy thing. We just have to endure some things with some people. Jealously, insecurity, ambition easily distort our perspectives. Forgiveness is about the inexcusable. It’s not about ignoring or denying sin and pretending that it didn’t happen. This act indulges sin. You handle it and you don’t let it fester. You do the hard work of forgiveness of letting it go and giving it to God to handle. The reason we seem to have given the act of forgiveness seven different levels is that we can say we have forgiven when we really haven’t do so. We will forgive outwardly when we really haven’t forgiven on the inside. We will claim to forgive but the relationship with the person isn’t ever the same. We say that we have forgiven but we ridicule the person every time that we get, sometimes in anger or in humor. We forgive but we just can’t seem to forget. Our forgiveness abounds until we get in a bad mood. We pick and choose who you do and do not forgive. Or we pardon people totally and unconditionally and continue to love the person as if the offense never happened remembering that we are sinners ourselves and mercy and grace are some of the greatest gifts that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob has given us through Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We really want to get to the last one. We need to examine ourselves continuously to determine if there is any unforgiveness in our hearts. Jesus was the perfect example of forgiveness when He hung on the cross and asked the Lord God in heaven to forgive His transgressors and this is why we must forgive those who trespass against us. Amen.  To hear this again click here.

Thank you to Minister Tracy for bringing us a teaching on true forgiveness.  May Adonai continue to bless and keep you!  We thank You the Lord God most high for her obedience in sharing with us what He has put on your heart to share!  We pray that Yahweh would pour back into Minister Tracy for her obedience and time in study of His word.  Praise His holy name!  He is worthy to be praised, He just keeps on loving fiveamprayer!  Amen!

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  We must truly forgive others, as Yeshua has prayed to the Father in heaven for our forgiveness--Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Fight, Contend, Do Battle--Fight For The Faith!

Malachi 4:2; Ephesians 6:12; Psalms 78:1-7; Jude; Genesis 11:3-9

We are walking in today:  Fight, Contend, Do Battle--Fight For The Faith!

Malachi 4:2 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.Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 78:1-7 1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

Jude 1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10 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. 11 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. 12 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; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 14 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. 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.  Genesis 11:3-9  3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 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. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Thank You Elohim for sending Your servant Deacon Troy to teach on us defending the faith against those who use grace as a way to do whatever their flesh desires.  Teach us Adonai Your good and right way!  Thank You for walking us through the scriptures for better understanding.  We pray that You would pour back into Deacon Troy for his time in preparation for this word.  We give all praises and honor to the Lord God Almighty!

Fiveamprayer we must be diligent to stand on and study the word of God!  We are not to look to see what way seems right to man--there is but one way, it is only the Way, the Truth and the Life.  His name is Yeshua!   Let us not longer get caught up in the divisions of Christianity, our primary focus should be to study to be like unto Him and walk according to His holy word.  We have to know that it is the Lord God Almighty that is in control of all things!  Our lives should exhibit His ways and His characteristics.  We should live a godly lifestyle--attempting to walk like Jesus of Nazareth, the only begotten of the Living God did!  Let us take time out to really look at these things and line up with God's word and make and take the corrections!  Amen!  To hear this again click here.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  Let us seek to walk in accordance to His holy and precious word, without exception--not to please the things of the flesh, the things of man.

Testimony Tuesday--He Is A Rewarder of Them That Diligently Seek Him!

Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 11:6; Genesis 15:1; Psalm 61:3
​

We are walking in today:  Testimony Tuesday--He Is A Rewarder of Them That Diligently Seek Him!

Revelation 12:11 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.  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.  Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. Psalm 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Thank you for joining us this morning for Testimony Tuesday!  This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!! We are overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimonies! We all have something to be thankful for! Tell somebody how He’s a healer! Tell somebody how He woke you up this morning! Tell them how you’re in your right mind today! Tell them how He gave you peace, He is our Yahweh Shalom--because someone is tormented today! Tell them how you’re not worried about tomorrow because you look to the Lord for everything! Tell them how He always opens up a window and pours in blessings that you don’t have room to store! Tell them how He always, always, always comes on time! Tell them how He gave you joy! Tell them about His unconditional love! Tell them how He’s a keeper! Share your personal testimony today!!  To hear this again click here.

We are walking in today:  Spirit In, Spirits Out--Breathe In, Breathe Out.

Thank You Adonai for sending Pastor Lucinda to teach this morning. We thank You for her obedience, we pray that you would pour back into her for her time and study in delivering this word.  All praises to Your name!  Amen!

WITH ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE AND TEACHING FOR ALMOST THE PAST YEAR we have to take a moment to relax.

On Friday our weekend meditation was we are on house Arrest. In Exodus 34:10-16 cannot be stressed enough, God does not want us to fall prey  to this type of environment but because we are accustomed to such behavior we have fallen in the trap.

In last Friday’s news Report: Arrest warrant was issued for a football player for the Patriots. According to news the player will be arrested for obstruction of justice, with the possibility that the charges could be upgraded, so he has gone from being a person of interest, to a key figure. According to God, we will be arrested for obstruction of justice, with the possibility that the charges could be upgraded, so we have gone from being a person of interest to a key figure in God’s eyes. He apparently destroyed both his home surveillance system and a cell phone, we already know that we cannot  destroy our home surveillance  from God because He the God that sees all,  EL ROI.

SO WE HAVE TO RELAX AND THINK ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. SAY THE JESUS PRAYER OVER AND OVER WITH YOUR BREATH (WITH YOUR SPIRIT). “ JESUS CHRIST SON OF GOD” AS YOU BREATHE IN “HAVE MERCY ON ME A SINNER” AS YOU BREATHE OUT.

JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR US. SCRIPTURE SAYS: IN JOHN 14:6  I AM THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO MAN COME TO ME BUT THROUGH THE FATHER.

HE IS ALSO THE IDEAL MODEL FOR HOW WE ARE TO LIVE.

JOHN 13:1-17 NIV  JESUS WASHES HIS DISCIPLES' FEET
1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” 10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. 12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

SPIRIT IN, SPIRITS OUT

SCRIPTURE TELLS US AS WE CONTINUE WITH CHRIST WE WILL GROW

G- GO TO PRAYER IN THE WORD, GO TO ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES

R- READ THE WORD, ACTS 17:11 SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE WHAT FIVEAM TEACHERS ARE TEACHING IS TRUE.

WHAT WAYS CAN YOU SERVICE OTHERS IN YOUR LIFE?

AS YOU CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH, IMAGINE THAT CHRIST IS WALKING WITH YOU. WHAT DOES HE WANT TO SAY TO YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO HIM? BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT

LUKE 3:8-9
8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 9 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

***We have to be aware of the internal distractions that are with you right now. Each time you exhale in your breathing I want you to lay aside one thought which is stealing your energy.

The Bible declares God’s word to us. It points us to Jesus, the living word, and as the written word guides us in our faith and ministries. I want you to picture a path with a bend in the road. A lamp hangs at the place lighting the way. Let that picture stay with you as a symbol for scripture for a few minutes.

As we read the words of scripture we look beyond the words to what God has to say to our current situation. One way to reflect on scripture is to ask these questions:
What does this tell me about God?
What does this tell me about myself?
What does it tell me about how I am to live in relationship to God and others?
Has there been a time when scriptures has thrown light on the path of your life and provided guidance?
What parts of scriptures that you have memorized seem to surface from time to time?
What part of the Bible do you have a hunger to know more about?

As you reflect on the scriptures, what do they reveal to you--as you ask yourself the previous questions?
As you continue down the path let the reflections about scripture stay with you knowing that scripture is a light unto your path.
As you move down the path of transition remember that Jesus, the Son of the living God walked with 2 disciples and then revealed Himself.  As He broke bread with them. Luke 24:13-15. Remember that Jesus walks with us and will reveal Himself the more we seek His face.

I want us to take an extended time to pray through the Lord’s prayer. Stop after each phrase of the prayer and elaborate by filling each petition out in our own words.

1 John 3:18-23 The work of the scripture within us.
18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Proverbs 30 (NIV)

Sayings of Agur
1 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. an oral or written statement This man’s utterance to Ithiel: who was a sage, meaning a person who is wise through reflection, experience and good judgment “I am weary, God, but I can prevail. 2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;  I do not have human understanding. 3 I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One. 4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?  Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know! 5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.

Commentary on Proverbs 30:1-6
Agur speaks of himself as wanting righteousness, and having done very foolishly. And it becomes to us all have low thoughts of ourselves. He speaks of himself as wanting revelation to guide him in the ways of truth and wisdom. The more enlightened people are, the more they lament (deeply regret) their ignorance; the more they pray for clearness, and clear discoveries of God, and His rich grace in Christ Jesus.

7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. 10 “Do not slander a servant to their master, or they will curse you, and you will pay for it. 11 “There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers;

Commentary on Proverbs 30:11
In every age there are monsters of ingratitude who ill-treat their parents. Many persuade themselves they are holy persons, whose hearts are full of sin, and who practice secret wickedness. There are others whose lofty pride is manifest. There have also been cruel monsters in every age.

12 those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth; 13 those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful; 14 those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among mankind. 15 “The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. “There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’ 16 the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’ 17 “The eye that mocks a father,     that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.

Commentary on Proverbs 30:15-17
Cruelty and covetousness are two daughters of the horseleech, that still cry, "Give, give," and they are continually uneasy to themselves. Four things never are satisfied, to which these devourers are compared. Those are never rich that are always coveting. And many who have come to a bad end, have owned that their wicked courses began by despising their parents' authority.

A HORSELEECH- infests the mouth and nasal passages of horses

18 “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman. 20 “This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’

Commentary on Proverbs 30:18-20
Four things cannot be fully known. The kingdom of nature is full of marvels. The fourth is a mystery of iniquity; the cursed arts by which a vile seducer gains the affections of a female; and the arts which a vile woman uses to conceal her wickedness. misbehavior, misconduct, trouble-making; trickery

21 “Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up: 22 a servant who becomes king, a godless fool who gets plenty to eat, 23 a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant

Commentary on Proverbs 30:21-23
Four things that are little, are yet to be admired. There are those who are poor in the world, and of small account, yet wise for their souls and another world, who displaces her mistress.

24 “Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: 25 Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; 26 hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags; 27 locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; 28 a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces. 29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing: 30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing; 31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt. 32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth! 33 For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Commentary on Proverbs 30:29-33
We may learn from animals to do well; also to keep our temper under all provocations. We must keep the evil thought in our minds from breaking out into evil speeches. We must not stir up the passions of others. Let nothing be said or done with violence, but every thing with softness and calmness. Alas, how often have we done foolishly in rising up against the Lord our King! Let us humble ourselves before Him. And having found peace with Him, let us follow peace with all men.

BREATH IN BREATH OUT FAMILY, SPIRIT IN SPIRITS OUT

WHAT SPIRIT ARE YOU BREATHING IN AND WHAT SPIRITS ARE YOU BREATHING OUT?


Proverbs 30 (CEV)

The Sayings of Agur
1 These are the sayings and the message of Agur son of Jakeh. Someone cries out to God, “I am completely worn out! How can I last? 2 I am far too stupid to be considered human. 3 I never was wise, and I don’t understand what God is like.” 4 Has anyone gone up to heaven and come back down? Has anyone grabbed hold of the wind? Has anyone wrapped up the sea or marked out boundaries for the earth? If you know of any who have done such things, then tell me their names and their children’s names. 5 Everything God says is true—and it’s a shield for all who come to him for safety. 6 Don’t change what God has said! He will correct you and show that you are a liar. 7 There are two things, Lord, I want you to do for me before I die: 8 Make me absolutely honest and don’t let me be too poor or too rich. Give me just what I need. 9 If I have too much to eat, I might forget about you; if I don’t have enough, I might steal and disgrace your name. 10 Don’t tell a slave owner something bad about one of the slaves. That slave will curse you, and you will be in trouble. 11 Some people curse their father and even their mother; 12 others think they are perfect, but they are stained by sin. 13 Some people are stuck-up and act like snobs; 14 others are so greedy that they gobble down the poor and homeless. 15 Greed has twins, each named “Give me!” There are three or four things that are never satisfied: 16  The world of the dead and a childless wife, the thirsty earth  and a flaming fire. 17 Don’t make fun of your father or disobey your mother—crows will peck out your eyes, and buzzards will eat the rest of you. 18 There are three or four things  I cannot understand: 19 How eagles fly so high or snakes crawl on rocks, how ships sail the ocean or people fall in love. 20 An unfaithful wife says, “Sleeping with another man is as natural as eating.”21 There are three or four things that make the earth tremble and are unbearable: 22 A slave who becomes king, a fool who eats too much, 23 a hateful woman who finds a husband, and a slave who takes the place of the woman who owns her. 24 On this earth four things are small but very wise: 25 Ants, who seem to be feeble, but store up food all summer long; 26 badgers, who seem to be weak,  but live among the rocks; 27  locusts, who have no king, but march like an army; 28 lizards, which can be caught in your hand,  but sneak into palaces. 29 Three or four creatures  really strut around: 30 Those fearless lions who rule the jungle, 31 those proud roosters, those mountain goats, and those rulers who have no enemies. 32 If you are foolishly bragging or planning something evil, then stop it now! 33 If you churn milk  you get butter; if you pound on your nose, you get blood— and if you stay angry, you get in trouble.

The Lord God Is Love, Light and Life!

Psalm 32:8; 51:1-10; 1 John 1:8-10, 2:3-6,  2:7-9,  2:15-17, 4:1-3, 4:4-8, 5:4-5; Proverbs 21:2; 1 John 5:4-13, 5:14-21; Matthew 7:9-12; Luke 6:27-31; Deuteronomy 28:8; Exodus 23:25; Deuteronomy 2:7 

We are walking in today:   The Lord God Is Love, Light and Life!

Psalm 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.  Psalm 51:1-10 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.  1 John 1:8-10 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.  1 John 2:3-6 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.  1 John 2:7-9 7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 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 2:15-17 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  16 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. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.  1 John 4:1-3 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  1 John 4:4-8 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.  1 John 5:4-5 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?  Proverbs 21:2  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.  1 John 5:4-13 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  1 John 5:14-21 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.  Matthew 7:9-12 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 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? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.  Luke 6:27-31 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. 30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.  Deuteronomy 28:8  The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.  Exodus 23:25  And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.  Deuteronomy 2:7  For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

GOD IS SO CONFIDENT IN WHAT HE IS DOING THROUGH HIS WORD THAT HE IS CHALLENGING US TO “TEST THE SPIRITS” BY THE WORD OF GOD, TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE OF HIM OR NOT.  THIS WALK WITH HIM HAS BEEN  DEEP ALL ALONG AND SOME OF US HAD NOT CAUGHT ON YET!!

DO WE KNOW In what ways has HE called US in OUR life?

IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING FORTH, TEST THE SPIRITS OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PRESENTING THESE MESSAGES TO YOU.  HE HAS TAUGHT US THROUGH HIS WORD HOW TO TEST OUR UNBELIEF, HE HAS TAUGHT US  HOW TO TEST OUR DOUBT, HE HAS TAUGHT US HOW TO TEST HIS WORD.

HE WANT US TO KNOW HOW TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT HE IS  SAYING AND GIVING TO US

all I want is your obedience, WHO IS LIKE THE LORD ALMIGHTY? NOBODY!  I will have compassion,   I am the God Almighty- El Shaddai, dead things don’t change, THEN WE HAD ON LAST SATURDAY We are in a transition.

AND with ALL this,  “TEST THE SPIRITS” TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD. FOR SOME, THIS IS NEW AND IT IS DIFFERENT, BUT IT IS CRUNCH TIME NOW AND WE HAVE TO OPEN OUR EYES AND EARS. IN THIS TIME OF SERIOUSNESS, HE WILL TAKE HIS HANDS OFF OF US, IF WE WALK IN DISOBEDIENCE. IF WE WALK IN DISOBEDIENCE AT THIS TIME, IT WILL CAUSE US TO LOOSE THIS WAR. YES IN 2 CHRONICLES: 20:17.  HE HAS TOLD US TO STAND STILL, BUT IN THIS STANDING STILL HE NEEDS OUR OBEDIENCE, IN THIS STANDING STILL, HE NEEDS US ALL TO KNOW THAT HE IS COMPASSIONATE , IN THIS STANDING STILL, HE NEEDS US KNOW THAT HE IS  EL-SHADDAI (GOD ALMIGHTY),

IN THIS STANDING STILL HE NEEDS US TO KNOW SOME OF HIS NAMES, AND WHAT THEY MEAN.  IN THIS STANDING STILL HE NEEDS US TO UNDERSTAND THAT “DEAD THINGS DON’T CHANGE”, IN THIS STANDING STILL, HE NEEDS US  ALL TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL ARE IN A SERIOUS “TRANSITIONING OF THE  MIND”, THE WAY WE THINK, THE WAY WE TALK, AND THE WAY WE VIEW THINGS HAS TO CHANGE AT THIS POINT.

IN THIS STANDING STILL HE NEEDS US ALL TO “TEST THE SPIRITS” TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE OF HIM.

WHAT I AM SEEING FROM THIS SCRIPTURE FAMILY IS THAT, THIS IS A SERIOUS TRUE FORM OF STRICT OBEDIENCE! THIS CONVERSATION FROM HIM THROUGH THIS SCRIPTURE IS NOTHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY:

READ: 2 CHRONICLES 20:17(NKJV)  YOU WILL NOT NEED TO FIGHT IN THIS BATTLE. POSITION YOURSELVES, STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD, WHO IS WITH YOU, O JUDAH AND JERUSALEM!’ DO NOT FEAR OR BE DISMAYED; TOMORROW GO OUT AGAINST THEM, FOR THE LORD IS WITH YOU.”

GOD WANTS US TO EXAMINE THIS QUESTION:
What providential circumstances have led you to this time and place, WITH HIM? 

MEANING:
WHAT circumstances THAT ARE Happening in your life RIGHT NOW, that divine intervention, OR WHAT YOU PERCEIVE AS DIVINE INTERVENTION has taken over THAT has led you to this time and place?

Providential- Occurring at a favorable time; opportune, Involving divine foresight or intervention.

OPPORTUNE: (of a time) Well-chosen or particularly favorable or appropriate.
Done or occurring at a favorable or useful time; well-timed.

Believe it or not this is an opportune time in our lives, MEANING THAT THIS IS A WELL-CHOSEN TIME, THIS IS A USEFUL TIME, THIS IS WELL-TIMED, AND THIS IS ALWAYS, WHEN GOD ALMIGHTY IS INVOLVED. believe it or not, SAINTS,  this is a favorable time in our lives, a divine intervention, believe it or not this is a DIVINE FORESIGHT,  that is happening in our lives

FORESIGHT MEANS:  A MANAGEMENT PLANNING PRINCIPLE,  AN ABILITY TO PREDICT OR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE;
SO THIS IS  A DIVINE MANAGEMENT PLANNING PRINCIPLE TIME IN OUR LIVES, A STRICT TEACHING TIME IN OUR LIVES. (THE 613 PRINCIPLES, THE 613 LAWS) IS GOING FORTH.

DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT Foresight Consulting and Foresight Revolution together offer a highly unique, specialized and integrated set of solutions for our LIVES

A REVOLUTION (FROM THE LATIN REVOLUTIO, IS "A TURN AROUND") THERE IS THAT NOT CONFORMING, THERE IS THAT TRANSFORMING, THAT TRANSITIONING. A REVOLUTION, FAMILY,  IS A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN POWER OR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE THAT TAKES PLACE IN A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD ...

A REVOLUTION- A Complete change from one constitution to another OR - A Modification of an existing constitution.

A MODIFICATION OR A COMPLETE CHANGE FROM ONE OLD TRADITION, OR ONE OLD WAY

I WANT TO LET YOU IN ON SOMETHING FAMILY IF I MAY:

PROVIDENTIAL PLANS IS NOT ALWAYS PAIN FREE!  I WANT YOU ALL TO GET THIS: IN OTHER WORDS, DIVINE PLANS ARE NOT ALWAYS PAIN FREE!  DIVINE FORESIGHT OR INTERVENTION ARE NOT ALWAYS PAIN FREE!

BECAUSE SEE WHAT I PERCEIVE, IS THAT IT IS TAKING (PRESENCE TENSE) DIVINE INTERVENTION TO KEEP YOU DIALING INTO THIS LINE, IT IS TAKING DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR US TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A DEEP, DEEP STUDY OF SELF-EXAMINATION, IT IS TAKING DIVINE INTERVENTION TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A DEEP DEEP STUDY OF WHO GOD IS TRULY REVEALING WHO WE ARE IN HIM. IT IS A DEEP DEEP EXAMINATION PERIOD OF WHO AND WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE, IN HIM, WHICH IS PROVING TO BE VERY SURPRISING, I KNOW IT IS FOR ME. SO HE IS TELLING US IN ORDER TO GET TO THE PLACE THAT WE THINK WE ARE IN HIM, CONFORM NOT, BUT TRANSFORM.

YOU KNOW THAT SAYING: “ TRANSFORMERS, MORE THAN MEET THE EYE”.  “WE HAVE TO BECOME MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE”.

ROMANS 12:2 (NIV) DO NOT CONFORM TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD, BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT GOD'S WILL IS--HIS GOOD, PLEASING AND PERFECT WILL.

***IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT GOD’S WILL IS—HIS GOOD, PLEASING AND PERFECT WILL.

TRANSFORMED- TO CHANGE MARKEDLY THE APPEARANCE OR FORM

MARKEDLY- CLEARLY DEFINED AND EVIDENT; NOTICEABLE

THEN-  IMMEDIATELY OR SOON AFTERWARD. SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO TEST AND APPROVE WHAT GOD'S WILL IS, IMMEDIATELY AFTER NOT CONFORMING AND RENEWING OUR MINDS. SO THIS IS VERY SERIOUS FOR US TO DO, IN ORDER TO SEE WHERE HE GOING WITH THE WHOLE 2 CHRONICLES 20:17 SERIES.

IT HAS TO BE CLEARLY DEFINED AND EVIDENT AND EVEN NOTICEABLE THAT WE ARE NOT CONFORMED TO THE PATTERN OF THIS WORLD.

IT HAS TO BE CLEARLY DEFINED AND EVIDENT AND EVEN NOTICEABLE THAT WE ARE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS.

THEN ONCE THIS HAPPENS, WE WILL BE ABLE TO TEST AND PROVE WHAT GOD’S WILL IS, HIS GOOD, PLEASING AND PERFECT WILL IS. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP IN OUR WALK, RIGHT NOW!!

HE IS SO CONFIDENT THAT ONCE WE DO THIS, THAT WE WILL BE ABLE SEE WELL ENOUGH TO TEST AND PROVE WHAT HIS WILL IS.

GOD REVEALED TO ME, WHEN I WAS UP IN THE MOUNTAINS LAST WEEK WITH NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION, AND THROUGH ANOTHER PASTOR’S SERMON, IS THAT THIS IS A SERIES THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND AT THAT IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FROM THE BEGINNING, WHEN HE FIRST GAVE MIN. JEANETTE THIS SCRIPTURE.

NOW WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AND GET WISDOM ON WHAT A SERIES IS, AMEN.

A SERIES IS A number of OBJECTS (CONCEPTS) OR events (OUTCOMES) THAT ARE arranged or coming one after the other in succession THAT IS OF IMPORTANCE.


1 JOHN 4:1-6 (ESV) 4 BELOVED, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE FROM GOD, DEARLY LOVED, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE OF MY SOUND DOCTRINE, FOR MANY FALSE PROPHETS HAVE GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD. 2 BY THIS YOU KNOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD: EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSES THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS COME IN THE FLESH IS FROM GOD, 3 AND EVERY SPIRIT THAT DOES NOT CONFESS JESUS, IS NOT FROM GOD. THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHICH YOU HEARD WAS COMING AND NOW IS IN THE WORLD ALREADY. 4 LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU ARE FROM GOD AND HAVE OVERCOME THEM, FOR HE WHO IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE FROM THE WORLD; THEREFORE THEY SPEAK FROM THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD LISTENS TO THEM. 6 WE ARE FROM GOD. WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. BY THIS WE KNOW THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR.

*****THE TRUE DOCTRINE AS TO THE SAVIOUR'S PERSON, AS LEADING MEN FROM THE WORLD TO GOD, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISSAC, THE GOD OF JACOB, IS A MARK OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IN OPPOSITION TO THE SPIRIT OF ERROR.

THE MORE PURE AND HOLY ANY DOCTRINE IS, THE MORE LIKELY TO BE OF GOD; NOR CAN WE BY ANY OTHER RULES TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD OR NOT.

QUESTION: "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TEST THE SPIRITS?"

IN THIS VERSE BELIEVERS ARE COMMANDED TO “TEST THE SPIRITS TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE FROM GOD.” THIS SAME COMMAND IS ECHOED IN OTHER PARTS OF SCRIPTURE AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, IN 1 THESSALONIANS 5:20-21 WE FIND PAUL EXHORTING THE CHRISTIANS TO NOT “DESPISE PROPHECIES, BUT TEST EVERYTHING; HOLD FAST WHAT IS GOOD.”

THESE TWO PASSAGES ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY THAT WARN CHRISTIANS TO TEST THE MESSAGE THAT PEOPLE OR SPIRITS PROCLAIM. THIS IS TRUE IN ALL SITUATIONS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WHEN A PERSON OR SPIRIT IS CLAIMING TO SPEAK FOR GOD. AS CHRISTIANS, WE ARE TO BE DISCERNING HEARERS AND READERS OF ALL MESSAGES. THE REASON FOR THE ADMONITION TO “TEST THE SPIRITS” OR “TEST ALL THINGS” IS THAT THERE ARE “MANY FALSE PROPHETS” OR “WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING” THAT TRY TO LEAD CHRISTIANS ASTRAY.

ADMONITION: COUNSEL OR WARNING AGAINST FAULT OR OVERSIGHT. WE CAN’T AFFORD TO OVER LOOK ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!

SYNONYMS: TO ADMONITION:

THE REASON FOR SUGGESTION, FOR WARNING TO “TEST THE SPIRITS”

THE REASON FOR THE TIP: THE URGING TO “TEST THE SPIRITS”

THE REASON FOR A HINT, FOR A LECTURE TO “TEST THE SPIRITS”OR “TEST ALL THINGS” IS THAT THERE ARE “MANY FALSE PROPHETS” OR “WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING” THAT TRY TO LEAD CHRISTIANS ASTRAY.

SADLY, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO SPEAK FOR GOD WHO ARE PRESENTING A FALSE GOSPEL THAT IS POWERLESS TO SAVE. SUCH ERRANT TEACHING LEAVES PEOPLE WITH A FALSE HOPE OF SALVATION AND, IN A WAY, INOCULATES THEM FROM THE TRUE MESSAGE.

IN OTHER WORDS: SUCH TEACHING THAT STRAYS OUTSIDE THE PROPER PATH OR BOUNDS, LEAVES PEOPLE WITH A FALSE HOPE OF SALVATION AND, IN A WAY, INOCULATES THEM FROM THE TRUE MESSAGE.

SO THE THINGS THAT ARE TAUGHT OR PREACHED AND THAT ARE  INSTILLED, PLANTED, FILLED, SATURATED,  AND FLOODED WITH IN US STEERS US FROM THE TRUE MESSAGE OF GOD.

PEOPLE WHO ARE DECEIVED INTO THINKING EVERYTHING IS FINE WILL BE MORE RESISTANT TO THE TRUTH.

IN SECOND CORINTHIANS 11:12-15 PAUL STATES THAT:

12 AND I WILL KEEP ON DOING WHAT I AM DOING IN ORDER TO CUT THE GROUND FROM UNDER THOSE WHO WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE CONSIDERED EQUAL WITH US IN THE THINGS THEY BOAST ABOUT.

SO IN THIS VERSE, PAUL KNOWS THE WILL OF GOD FOR HIS LIFE, HE SAYS: IN VERSE 12  AND I WILL KEEP ON DOING WHAT I AM DOING IN ORDER TO CUT THE GROUND FROM UNDER THOSE WHO WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE CONSIDERED EQUAL WITH US IN THE THINGS THEY BOAST ABOUT.

PAUL IS NOT ABOUT BOASTING OUTSIDE THE WORK OR WILL OF THE LORD, BUT THE FALSE TEACHERS, AND APOSTLES ETC… ARE

13 FOR SUCH PEOPLE ARE FALSE APOSTLES, DECEITFUL WORKERS, MASQUERADING AS APOSTLES OF CHRIST. 14 AND NO WONDER, FOR SATAN HIMSELF MASQUERADES AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. 15 IT IS NOT SURPRISING, THEN, IF HIS SERVANTS ALSO MASQUERADE AS SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEIR END WILL BE WHAT THEIR ACTIONS DESERVE.

WE HAVE TO REALLY UNDERSTAND AND DEVELOP STRICT WISDOM CONCERNING THIS!!!!

”SO THE REASON FOR TESTING THE SPIRITS, FOR TESTING ALL RELIGIOUS TEACHING IS TO SEE IF IT IS TRULY FROM GOD OR IF IT IS A LIE FROM SATAN AND HIS SERVANTS.

THE TEST IS TO COMPARE WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT WITH THE CLEAR TEACHING OF THE BIBLE. THE BIBLE ALONE IS THE WORD OF GOD; IT ALONE IS INSPIRED AND INERRANT. FREE FROM ERROR

WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT INERRANCY IS:

Biblical inerrancy is the doctrine that the Bible, in its original manuscripts, is accurate and totally free from error of any kind; that "Scripture in the original ... MANUSCRIPTS DOES NOT AFFIRM ANYTHING THAT IS CONTRARY TO FACT".

THEREFORE, THE WAY TO TEST THE SPIRITS IS TO SEE IF WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT IS IN LINE WITH THE CLEAR TEACHING OF SCRIPTURE. IN ACTS 17:10-11 THE BEREAN JEWS WERE COMMENDED BECAUSE, AFTER THEY HEARD THE TEACHINGS OF PAUL AND SILAS, THEY “EXAMINED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO SEE IF THESE THINGS WERE SO.” THE BEREANS WERE CALLED “NOBLE” FOR DOING SO.
TESTING THE SPIRITS MEANS THAT ONE MUST KNOW HOW TO “EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES.” RATHER THAN ACCEPT EVERY TEACHING, DISCERNING CHRISTIANS DILIGENTLY STUDY THE SCRIPTURES. THEN THEY KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND THEREFORE CAN “TEST ALL THINGS AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS TRUE.”

THEN: MEANING,  IMMEDIATELY OR SOON AFTERWARD, EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES, THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND THEREFORE CAN “TEST ALL THINGS AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS TRUE.”

FAMILY: IN ORDER TO DO THIS, A CHRISTIAN MUST “BE DILIGENT TO PRESENT THEMSELVES APPROVED TO GOD, A WORKER WHO DOES NOT NEED TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH” (2 TIMOTHY 2:15). THE WORD OF GOD IS TO BE “A LAMP” AND “A LIGHT” TO OUR PATH (PSALM 119:105).

WHAT JOURNEY AM I ON IN MY LIFE THAT HAS BEEN INITIATED BY GOD?

ANSWER:

1 JOHN 4:1-6
1 BELOVED, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SPIRIT, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS TO SEE WHETHER THEY ARE FROM GOD,

2 TIM 2:15- STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED


ACTS 17: 11-12-SPEND TIME DAILY IN THE WORD. LIKE THE BEREANS

16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

Acts 17:1-17 (NKJV)
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4 And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. 5 But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. 10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.


THESE WERE MORE JUST AND IMPARTIAL; NOT PREJUDICED THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, IN THAT THEY RECEIVED THE WORD WITH ALL READINESS, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY TO FIND OUT WHETHER THESE THINGS WERE SO.


12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. 14 Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.


HOW MANY OF US RECEIVING COMMAND FROM GOD TO COME TO HIM WITH ALL SPEED, WILL DEPART?

The Philosophers at Athens

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols. 17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there.


REASONED- a statement presented in justification or explanation of a belief


17 THEREFORE, HE PRESENTED A STATEMENT OF EXPLANATION OF HIS BELIEF IN THE SYNAGOGUE WITH THE JEWS AND WITH THE GENTILE WORSHIPERS, AND IN THE MARKETPLACE DAILY WITH THOSE WHO HAPPENED TO BE THERE.


WHAT DO YOU THINK PAUL WAS SAYING TO THE JEW AND GENTILE WORSHIPERS IN THE SYNAGOGUE DAILY? I THINK HE WAS SAYING

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (CEV)

16 Do idols belong in the temple of God? We are the temple of the living God, as God himself says,

“I will live with these people
    and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be
    my people.”

17 The Lord also says,

“Leave them and stay away!
Don’t touch anything
    that isn’t clean.
Then I will welcome you
18     and be your Father.
You will be my sons
    and my daughters,
as surely as I am God,
    the All-Powerful.”

AS SURELY AS I AM GOD, EL-SHADDAI


18 Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, “What does this babbler want to say?”
Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.


18 THEN CERTAIN PHILOSOPHERS OF INDULGENCE AND WITHOUT FEELINGS encountered him. And some said, “What does this babbler want to say?”

Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.


19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? 20 For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.” 21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.


AREOPAGUS- The highest judicial and legislative council of ancient Athens


Addressing the Areopagus

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive (I COME TO REALIZE OR UNDERSTAND) that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

RELIGIOUS- Religious is a general word, applying to whatever pertains to faith or worship. extreme conformity with, outward observances. THE DEFINITION ALSO SAYS IT CAN PERTAIN TO HYPOCRISY

RELIGIOUS- scrupulously FAITHFUL

scrupulously- acting in strict regard for what is considered right or proper



22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive( I COME TO REALIZE OR UNDERSTAND)  that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

THIS IS A PRE-APPOINTED TIME AND BOUNDARY OF OUR DWELLING, FAMILY

27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

27 THAT THEY MIGHT TO FEEL ABOUT WITH THEIR HANDS; FEEL ONE'S WAY FOR HIM AND FIND HIM, THOUGH HE IS NOT FAR FROM EACH ONE OF US;

28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” 32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

AGAIN:
THE WORD OF GOD IS TO BE “A LAMP” AND “A LIGHT” TO OUR PATH (PSALM 119:105).
WE MUST LET ITS LIGHT SHINE ON THE TEACHINGS AND DOCTRINES OF THE DAY; THE BIBLE ALONE IS THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL TRUTH MUST BE JUDGED.

SO FAMILY THE QUESTION THAT PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY IS WHAT JOURNEY ARE YOU ON IN YOUR LIFE THAT HAS BEEN INITIATED BY GOD?

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  Fiveamprayer, we must test the spirits to be sure that we are doing what is good and pleasing unto our Heavenly Father!

The Compassion of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth.

​

We are walking in today:  The Compassion of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth.

Thank You Adonai for sending Deacon Troy this morning to teach on compassion.  We thank You for showing us the compassion of Yeshua and we have how He walked on the earth as a blueprint for out lives!  Let us take some time out to read these scriptures to have compassion for others.  Will we walk away or walk towards the good and right way--unto Christ Jesus, the Messiah in obedience and function?  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life! 
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Mark 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:Philippians 1:8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.Acts 10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him

We thank You Lord God for using Deacon Troy this morning. We pray that you would pour back into him for this time and study and yielding unto Your Holy Spirit. We have to take a look to see if we are walking in compassion.  If we forgive them not, then He will not forgive us.  We have to really look over our lives and see where we can extend compassion to others.  While Yeshua was yet on the cross said, forgive them Father for they know not what they do.  We have to get out of our emotions, deny ourselves to walk in compassion!  We are seeking to walk according to what Yahweh has given unto us as we begin walking in the 613 Principles of the Lord God Almighty.  Take a selah moment today, are you extending compassion in your marriage, with your children and all that you come across through the day?  We are to be drawing souls unto to the Way, the Truth and the Life!  Will you be compassionate?  We have to watch as well as pray.  He will have people placed in your life as an assignment.  We have to get out of our emotions and walk in what Yahweh has given unto us to do!  Only what you do for God will last anyway!  We must not operate in ourselves, walk according to what has been placed before you.  When you are on assignment, be careful who you share information with, that they would not talk you out of what God Almighty has given unto you to do. Will your response be, not my will but Thy will be done?  You are responsible for your response that is what you will answer for before the throne.  We have to daily walk in forgiveness--Matthew 18:21-22 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.  Fiveamprayer, we are on assignment at all times!  Praise His name!  All the while we are looking at them to be changed and God is working on you!  We have to look at this with spiritual eyes!  Get out of your emotions!  Give Him praise for the difficult people in your life, He is teaching you something.  That difficult person in your life is sent to show you, who you are.  Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.  If you don't pass the assignment, it will come back again and may even be more difficult the next time.  Have passion in your God given assignment.  Some times your assignments come from your disobedience.  He is mindful of us and thinks of us.  Thank You Lord God for how you deal with us, can you not extend the same grace to others?!  What if God said I just can't deal with them anymore?!  Yet we often say that about others!  Let us get out of our emotions and back on track, out of dysfunction and back into function as the Lord God intended for us!  To hear this again click here

All He Wants Is Our Obedience

Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 4:23 &28, Romans 12:2, John 20:19, 21, & 26

We are walking in today:  All He Wants Is Our Obedience


Thank You Adonai for sending Pastor Lucinda to teach us this morning.  We must really learn how to walk in obedience to what we have been given to do!  We pray that you would pour back into her for her obedience and study in preparation for this instruction. All praise and honor belongs to You, Yahweh!

It’s good to do the Lord's work but it is better to do His will. To be sure that we do His will, we have to be renewed in the spirit of our mind. Sometimes we have to renew our own minds. God wants our obedience. He tells us that anyone who is stealing should steal no longer. We have been stealing so long that it has become the norm. We don’t even know that we’re stealing. Others are hurting because we are in a mindset that we can’t give to others because we are going through. So we are robbing others from coming out of their bondage because we are so comfortable in our own bondage. We should work and do something useful for a change. We should come off of our pity parties! We should do something useful with our own hands, so that we have something to share with those in need.  We are transformed by the renewing of our minds. Transform means to noticeably change the appearance or form. When you transform your mind, there should be a noticeable change in it. Soon after you renew your mind, you should be able to determine God’s will when it comes to Christian service. Because a person is involved in good Christian service doesn’t mean that they are doing what God wants them to do. Unfortunately, the distance between God’s will and our will can sometimes be difficult to see. The difference between doing God’s will and God’s work is that when we do God’s will, He’s working through our lives to do His work. When we do Gods work, we’re acting on our own leading to accomplish a Christian project. Instead of asking God what He wants us to do, we sometimes tell Him what we’re going to do and expect Him to bless it. A minister once paraphrased the Lord’s Prayer by saying, “Thy kingdom come and my kingdom must leave. Thy will be done and my will must be smashed.” There is nothing more important than God’s will and it can only be found by denying our own will! When people interact with those who over ministries, they should be left thinking more about Jesus Christ than the one they are interacting with. A major danger, however, of doing God’s work with your own strength is spiritual burnout. If your spiritual project is causing you to neglect the spiritual or emotional needs of your family, you’re doing something that is out of God’s will. A good man knows his limitations. It’s essential that we understand our limits and pace ourselves accordingly. All He wants is our obedience. There is an ancient Greek race where the winner is not the first one to cross the finish line, but the first one to cross the finish line with his torch still burning. Sometimes we are so busy with life’s activity that we are in danger of the torch of our spiritual lives being extinguished. We have to balance our priorities. All He wants is our obedience. God said that He would support us. He will never let the righteous be forsaken. So be careful. All He wants is our obedience. In seeking the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: All Is Justified. If you are too busy to pray and read your Bible, then you are busier that God intends you to be! Trust Him and He will direct your path. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. He can force you to make the right decision even by closing doors for you. Don’t despair when God allows problems to come your way. They may be the answer that you were looking for. All He wants is our obedience. Fiveamprayer, let us walk in obedience unto the most high God, the Lord God Almighty!  To hear this again click here.

The Names Of God--Yahweh Mekaddesh

Exodus 31:13; Psalm 99:9; Romans 6:19-23; Genesis 2:17; Hebrews 9:14; Psalm 139:7; 1 Corinthians 2:10-11; Romans 8:1-27; Isaiah 5:20-24; Luke 13:23-35; Romans 1:1; Matthew 28:18-20; John 20:19-21, 26-29; John 3:34; Luke 4:17; 2 Chronicles 20:17; Matthew 5:9; Psalm 119:164-168; John 20:1-29; 1 Corinthians 8:9-12; 1 Corinthians 2:8-10; Jude 1:24-25

We are walking in today:  The Names Of God--Yahweh Mekaddesh

Thank You Elohim, for sending us teachers to have us learn more about You and Your character!  For who You are and what You do are the same!  You are not like unto mere men who may say one thing and yet do another!  Thank You that we are getting revelation knowledge on this line, that we are being drawn into a closer relationship with, You Lord God, King of the Universe!  The Almighty God!  The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob!

Yahweh – Mekaddesh – The Lord Who Sanctified – Holiness is the central revelation of God’s character.  God calls for a people who are set apart.

Exodus 31:13 “Speak thou also unto the children of Israel saying.  Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations.  That ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

Psalm 99:9 “Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill, for the Lord our God is Holy.

The process of being sanctified is being made Holy resulting in a changed lifestyle for the believer.  The focus of holiness is on God, because He is Holy.  His name is Holy.  Sanctification is vitally linked to the salvation experience and is concerned with the moral/spiritual obligations assumed in that experience we were set apart to God in conversion, and we are living out that dedication to God in holiness, that is what we are striving for.  Sanctification/holiness is to be pursued as an essential aspect of the believers life, the blood of sanctification must not be defiled by sinful conduct.  Paul stressed both the individual’s commitment to holy living (Roman 6:19-23) “I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity: even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed for the end of those things is death,  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.  For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Reminder Genesis 2:17 “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 salt surely die.”) Be ye Holy; for I Am Holy!!!!! ((yeh-ho-vaw' M-qadash)
The Lord Who Sanctifies You, The Lord Who Makes Holy 

Hebrews 9:14 KJV - 14 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?  

Psalm 139:7 KJV - 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

1Corinthians 2:10-11 KJV - 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.

 Romans 8:1-27 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 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. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 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. 19 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. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26 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. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Meaning and Derivation: Jehovah is translated as "The Existing One" or "Lord." The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning "to be" or "to exist." It also suggests "to become" or specifically "to become known"…this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Mekoddishkem derives from the Hebrew word qâdash meaning "sanctify," "holy," or "dedicate." Sanctification is the separation of an object or person to the dedication of the Holy. When the two words are combined…Jehovah Mekoddishkem…it can be translated as "The Lord who sets you apart."  We are set apart from the rest of the world.  We have to talk holy, walk holy, live holy, act holy, stand holy, be holy, speak holy. Isaiah 5:20-24 “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!  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.  Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!  Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy one of Israel.  The Father of Abraham, The Father of Isaac and the Father of Jacob.

Luke 13:23-35 23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

WE KNOW JESUS WAS WELL-GROUND. HE WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTION BY THE FATHER OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB., AND HE CARRIED OUT HIS INSTUCTIONS WELL. HE WAS PROVEN A QUALIFIED BONDSMAN, ONE WHO WAS SENT, SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL OF GOD.

BONDSERVANT(US)  -ONE WHO GIVES HIMSELF UP TO ANOTHER’S WILL, THOSE WHOSE SERVICE IS USED BY CHRIST IN EXTENDING AND ADVANCING HIS CAUSE AMONG MEN

JESUS AS BONDSMAN- DEVOTED TO ANOTHER TO THE DISREGARD OF ONE’S OWN INTERESTS

JUSTIFY= TO SHOW THAT WHAT WAS DONE WAS LEGALLY WARRANTED.

WE HAVE TO SEEK AFTER AND COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF SHOWING THAT WHAT HE STOOD FOR, HIS POINTS OF VIEW, AND WHAT HE TAUGHT WAS LEGALLY WARRANTED.

JUSTIFIED BY FAITH SPEAKS OF A LEGAL DECREE. ROMANS 1:18-3:20 FOUND US GUILTY BEFORE THE COURTS OF GOD’S LAW, GOD’S GLORY, AND OUR OWN CONSCIENCE. THEN PAUL EXPLAINED HOW BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR US, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS GIVEN TO ALL WHO BELIEVE. THE GUILTY SENTENCE IS TRANSFORMED INTO A SENTENCE OF JUSTIFIED, AND JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.

A FRIEND = ONE ATTACHED TO ANOTHER BY AFFECTION OR ESTEEM. A PERSON WHOM ONE KNOWS, LIKES, AND TRUSTS. A PERSON WITH WHOM ONE IS ALLIED IN A STRUGGLE OR CAUSE; A PERSON ATTACHED TO ANOTHER BY FEELINGS OF AFFECTION OR PERSONAL REGARD

A FRIENDSHIP- FRIENDSHIP IS A RELATIONSHIP OF MUTUAL AFFECTION BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE. FRIENDSHIP IS A STRONGER FORM OF INTERPERSONAL BOND THAN AN ACQUAINTANCESHIP. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY FORMS OF FRIENDSHIP, SOME OF WHICH MAY VARY FROM PLACE TO PLACE, CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS ARE PRESENT IN MANY TYPES OF FRIENDSHIP.  FAMILY, SUCH CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDE AFFECTION, SYMPATHY, EMPATHY, HONESTY, MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION, ENJOYMENT OF EACH OTHER'S COMPANY, TRUST, AND THE ABILITY TO BE ONESELF, EXPRESS ONE'S FEELINGS, AND MAKE MISTAKES WITHOUT FEAR OF JUDGMENT FROM THE FRIEND. GOOD FRIENDSHIP, FAMILY, HAS BEEN CALLED "LIFE ENHANCING.

EVENTUALLY IN A GOOD WELL- ESTABLISHED, POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS' POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE POINTS OF VIEW. WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE, FOR THE SAKE OF THE LESSON.

JESUS WANTS US TO BE CALLED HIS FRIEND, SO WE CAN START TO SEE WHAT HE SEES, AND BEGIN TO SEE WITH OUR SPIRITUAL EYES HIS POINTS OF VIEW.  HE HAS MANY POINTS OF VIEWS;

A POINT OF VIEW- IS A MANNER OF VIEWING THINGS; AN ATTITUDE.

ONE OF JESUS’ POINT OF VIEW WAS SHARED IN MT. 28:18-20

SAID AFTER HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION:

"... ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME ...

GO …

"... (1) DISCIPLE ALL THE NATIONS

... (2) BAPTIZE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

... (3) TEACH THEM ...

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE."

- MT. 28:18-20.

FULL SCIPTURE READS:  MATTHEW 28:18-20

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)

18 THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID, “ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME. 19 THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, 20 AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.”

JOHN 20:21

"…PEACE BE WITH YOU:

AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME,

I ALSO SEND YOU"

- JOHN 20:21

JOHN 20:19-21 & 26-29 VERSION (NIV)

JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES

19 ON THE EVENING OF THAT FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE DISCIPLES WERE TOGETHER, WITH THE DOORS LOCKED FOR FEAR OF THE JEWISH LEADERS, JESUS CAME AND STOOD AMONG THEM AND SAID, “PEACE BE WITH YOU!” 20 AFTER HE SAID THIS, HE SHOWED THEM HIS HANDS AND SIDE. THE DISCIPLES WERE OVERJOYED WHEN THEY SAW THE LORD.

***21 AGAIN JESUS SAID, “PEACE BE WITH YOU! AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, I AM SENDING YOU.” 22 AND WITH THAT HE BREATHED ON THEM AND SAID, “RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. 23 IF YOU FORGIVE ANYONE’S SINS, THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN; IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE THEM, THEY ARE NOT FORGIVEN.”

26 A WEEK LATER HIS DISCIPLES WERE IN THE HOUSE AGAIN, AND THOMAS WAS WITH THEM. THOUGH THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, JESUS CAME AND STOOD AMONG THEM AND SAID, “PEACE BE WITH YOU!” 27 THEN HE SAID TO THOMAS, “PUT YOUR FINGER HERE; SEE MY HANDS. REACH OUT YOUR HAND AND PUT IT INTO MY SIDE. STOP DOUBTING AND BELIEVE.”

28 THOMAS SAID TO HIM, “MY LORD AND MY GOD!”

29 THEN JESUS TOLD HIM, “BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU HAVE BELIEVED; BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.”

A COMMAND:  21 AGAIN JESUS SAID, “PEACE BE WITH YOU! AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, I AM SENDING YOU.” 22 AND WITH THAT HE BREATHED ON THEM AND SAID, “RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. 23IF YOU FORGIVE ANYONE’S SINS, THEIR SINS ARE FORGIVEN; IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE THEM, THEY ARE NOT FORGIVEN.” JOHN 20:21-23

REMEMBER I SPOKE IN APRIL CONCERNING HIS LANGUAGE, AND THAT HE IS BREATHING ON US.

MIN. JENEATTE, JUST SAID, THIS MORNING, I WANT TO BE CLOSER TO YOU, WALK IN THE COOL OF THE DAY, AND HAVE GOD TO BREATHE ON HER.

JOHN 3:34 STATES:  FOR THE ONE WHOM GOD HAS SENT SPEAKS THE WORDS OF GOD, FOR GOD GIVES THE SPIRIT (BREATH) WITHOUT LIMIT

FOR THE ONE WHOM GOD HAS SENT SPEAKS THE WORDS OF GOD,(SPIRIT) FOR GODS GIVES THE SPIRIT(BREATH) WITHOUT LIMIT. HE IS STILL BREATHING, WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY GRASP THIS!

WHEN HE COMES, 2 AND 3 TIMES IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

MIN. JEANETTE GAVE US “SPEAK LORD YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING” HE IS SPEAKING HIS LANGUAGE WHICH IS SPIRIT WITHOUT LIMIT.  

LUKE 4:17 AND THE SCROLL OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH WAS HANDED TO HIM. UNROLLING IT, HE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT IS WRITTEN: “THE SPIRIT (BREATH) OF THE LORD IS ON ME,

GOD IS BRINGING US BACK FIVE AM FAMILY TO LET US KNOW WE ARE STILL IN THE COOL OF THE DAY.

HE IS STILL BREATHING ON US.

 

HE HAS GIVEN US PEACE THREE TIMES IN JOHN CHAPTER 20. IT’S SERIOUS. WE HAVE TO WALK IN PEACE, IN ORDER TO WALK IN 2 CHRONICLES 20:17.

MATTHEW 5:9

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)

9 BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS,
    FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD

PSALM 119:164-168

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)

164 SEVEN TIMES A DAY I PRAISE YOU
    FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS LAWS.
165 GREAT PEACE HAVE THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR LAW,
    AND NOTHING CAN MAKE THEM STUMBLE.
166 I WAIT FOR YOUR SALVATION, LORD,
    AND I FOLLOW YOUR COMMANDS.
167 I OBEY YOUR STATUTES,
    FOR I LOVE THEM GREATLY.
168 I OBEY YOUR PRECEPTS AND YOUR STATUTES,
    FOR ALL MY WAYS ARE KNOWN TO YOU.

I AM GOING TO EXPLAIN THE WHOLE CHAPTER, BUT I STARTED WITH JOHN 20:1-29

(READ JOHN 20:1-10)

IF CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM, AND HAD NOT TAKEN IT AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT HAVE APPEARED THAT HIS GIVING IT WAS ACCEPTED AS SATISFACTION. IT WAS A GREAT TRIAL TO MARY, THAT THE BODY WAS GONE. WEAK BELIEVERS OFTEN MAKE THAT THE MATTER OF COMPLAINT, WHICH IS REALLY JUST GROUND OF HOPE, AND MATTER OF JOY. IT IS WELL WHEN THOSE MORE HONOURED (JABEZ) THAN OTHERS WITH THE PRIVILEGES OF DISCIPLES, ARE MORE ACTIVE THAN OTHERS IN THE DUTY OF DISCIPLES; MORE WILLING TO TAKE PAINS, AND RUN HAZARDS, IN A GOOD WORK. WE MUST DO OUR BEST, AND NEITHER ENVY THOSE WHO CAN DO BETTER, NOR DESPISE THOSE WHO DO AS WELL AS THEY CAN, THOUGH THEY COME BEHIND. THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED IN A SPECIAL MANNER, AND WHO THEREFORE IN A SPECIAL MANNER LOVED JESUS, WAS FOREMOST. THE LOVE (COMPASSION) OF CHRIST WILL MAKE US TO ABOUND IN EVERY DUTY MORE THAN ANY THING ELSE. HE THAT WAS BEHIND WAS PETER, WHO HAD DENIED CHRIST. A SENSE OF GUILT HINDERS US IN THE SERVICE OF GOD. JUSTIFICATION (GUILTLESS) AS YET THE DISCIPLES KNEW NOT THE SCRIPTURE; THEY CHRIST, MUST RISE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD.

COMMENTARY ON JOHN 20:11-18

(READ JOHN 20:11-18)

WE ARE LIKELY TO SEEK AND FIND, WHEN WE SEEK WITH AFFECTION, AND SEEK IN TEARS. BUT MANY BELIEVERS COMPLAIN OF THE CLOUDS AND DARKNESS THEY ARE UNDER, WHICH ARE METHODS OF GRACE FOR HUMBLING THEIR SOULS, MORTIFYING THEIR SINS, AND ENDEARING CHRIST TO THEM. A SIGHT OF ANGELS AND THEIR SMILES, WILL NOT SUFFICE, WITHOUT A SIGHT OF JESUS, AND GOD'S SMILES IN HIM. NONE KNOW, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE TASTED IT, THE SORROWS OF A DESERTED SOUL, WHICH HAS HAD COMFORTABLE EVIDENCES OF THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST, AND HOPES OF HEAVEN, BUT HAS NOW LOST THEM, AND WALKS IN DARKNESS; SUCH A WOUNDED SPIRIT WHO CAN BEAR? CHRIST, IN MANIFESTING HIMSELF TO THOSE THAT SEEK HIM, OFTEN OUTDOES THEIR EXPECTATIONS. SEE HOW MARY'S HEART WAS IN EARNEST TO FIND JESUS. CHRIST'S WAY OF MAKING HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS PEOPLE IS BY HIS WORD; HIS WORD APPLIED TO OUR SOULS, SPEAKING TO THEM IN PARTICULAR. IT MIGHT BE READ, IS IT MY MASTER? SEE WITH WHAT PLEASURE THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS SPEAK OF HIS AUTHORITY OVER THEM. HE FORBIDS HER TO EXPECT THAT HIS BODILY PRESENCE LOOK FURTHER, THAN THE PRESENT STATE OF THINGS. OBSERVE THE RELATION TO GOD, FROM UNION WITH CHRIST. WE, PARTAKING OF A DIVINE NATURE, CHRIST'S FATHER IS OUR FATHER; AND HE, PARTAKING OF THE HUMAN NATURE, OUR GOD IS HIS GOD. CHRIST'S ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN, THERE TO PLEAD FOR US, IS LIKEWISE AN UNSPEAKABLE COMFORT. LET THEM NOT THINK THIS EARTH IS TO BE THEIR HOME AND REST; THEIR EYE AND AIM, AND EARNEST DESIRES, MUST BE UPON ANOTHER WORLD, AND THIS EVER UPON THEIR HEARTS, I ASCEND, THEREFORE I MUST SEEK THE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE. AND LET THOSE WHO KNOW THE WORD OF CHRIST, (AND LET THOSE THAT ARE A FRIEND OF CHRIST ) ENDEAVOUR(STRIVE, MAKE AN EFFORT)  THAT OTHERS SHOULD GET GOOD FROM THEIR KNOWLEDGE.

1 CORINTHIANS 8:9-12 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)

9 BE CAREFUL, HOWEVER, THAT THE EXERCISE OF YOUR RIGHTS DOES NOT BECOME A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE WEAK. 10 FOR IF SOMEONE WITH A WEAK CONSCIENCE SEES YOU, WITH ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE, EATING IN AN IDOL’S TEMPLE, WON’T THAT PERSON BE EMBOLDENED TO EAT WHAT IS SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? 11 SO THIS WEAK BROTHER OR SISTER, FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED, IS DESTROYED BY YOUR KNOWLEDGE. 12 WHEN YOU SIN AGAINST THEM IN THIS WAY AND WOUND THEIR WEAK CONSCIENCE, YOU SIN AGAINST CHRIST.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:8-10

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV)

8 NONE OF THE RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD IT, FOR IF THEY HAD, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY. 9 HOWEVER, AS IT IS WRITTEN:

“WHAT NO EYE HAS SEEN,
    WHAT NO EAR HAS HEARD,
AND WHAT NO HUMAN MIND HAS CONCEIVED”[A]—
    THE THINGS GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM—

10 THESE ARE THE THINGS GOD HAS REVEALED TO US BY HIS SPIRIT.(BREATH)

THE SPIRIT SEARCHES ALL THINGS, EVEN THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD.

THAT’S WHY HE WANTS US TO KNOW THAT IS AND HE WILL CONTINUE, WITHOUT LIMIT TO BREATHE ON US AND GIVE THOSE WHO EARNESTLY WANT IT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY IF WE ASK.

HE DOESN’T WANT US TO ASK FOR ANY SPIRIT, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. REMEMBER HE WANTS US TO KNOW WHAT THINGS TO ASK FOR, THAT’S WHY NAMES ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND SO WE HAVE TO SPEAK CORRECT WHEN ASKING OF HIM.

EVERY WORD OF CHRIST WHICH IS RECEIVED IN THE HEART BY FAITH, COMES ACCOMPANIED BY THIS DIVINE BREATHING; AND WITHOUT THIS THERE IS NEITHER LIGHT NOR LIFE. NOTHING IS SEEN, KNOWN, DISCERNED, OR FELT OF GOD, BUT THROUGH THIS.

THIS IS WHY HE WANTS US TO GET THIS DIVINE BREATHING ON US WITHOUT LIMIT, THIS COOL OF THE DAY, THIS WATCHING OF THE ENEMY IN OUR CAMP.

JUDE 1:24-25

NEW KING JAMES VERSION (NKJV)

GLORY TO GOD

24 NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM STUMBLING,

AND TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS

BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY WITH EXCEEDING JOY,

CONCLUSION:

JUSTIFICATION- THE ACT OF GOD WHEREBY HUMANKIND IS ABSOLVED OF GUILT OR SIN . HUMANKIND IS GRANTED REMISSION OF SIN.

I WANT TO REITARATE:

A POINT OF VIEW- IS A MANNER OF VIEWING THINGS; AN ATTITUDE.
