baptism of fire....

There is no man that has power over the “spirit”…the breath that speaks words….to “retain the spirit”. That is, no man has power over what comes out of his mouth for he speaks the evil in his heart easily. He can not restrain the words of his heart. And so man has no power in the day of death….for the evil that comes out of the mouth is why he is perishing and the day of his death is fast approaching. His wickedness shall not deliver him from death. Man is perishing.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 KJV
(8) There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

But Jesus came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. He came so that we can have remission of sins. He came to give us the power to become the sons of God. He came so that we might be able to overcome the evil that comes out of our mouths. He came so that death can be rendered useless.

2 Timothy 1:10 KJV
(10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

And whoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have an age-lasting life.

John 3:15-18 KJV
(15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
(16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.




Only the very FEW have found this life while the MANY have been led astray by many false prophets down the broad path to the destruction of the flesh. They have been led astray by the deceitful preaching of the wolves who have devoured the prey. The “wide gate” of their mouths have devoured many.

They are like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured the souls of people and have taken the treasure: an age-lasting life. They have taken away the love that we should have for each other.

Ezekiel 22:24-25 KJV
(24) Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
(25) There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

Like wolves, they raven the prey….His people. They “shed blood”….for they rob them of their lives that is promised: the “eternal life” for the here and now. They have led MANY down to the grave in absence of the promised life. They destroy souls…and all to get dishonest gain. The “whole” of their “man”….body, soul, and spirit has not been kept back from death….as their bodies perish to the grave.

Ezekiel 22:27-29 KJV
(27) Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
(28) And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
(29) The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

Yet, we are not to weep as others who have no hope for the Lord shall bring them with Him. He is, after all, the Lord of the LIVING and the DEAD.

The Lord comes to remind us of His words….His words of LIFE and spirit. He comes so that we may be delivered from those who are living in error.

Luke 4:17-19 KJV
(17) And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
(18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
(19) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

And He sends His disciples out….His messengers….His “angels”….to speak the Truth…..to heal the “sick”….to raise the DEAD.

Matthew 10:7-8 KJV
(7) And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(8) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

We already know how to love another…..the Word is already in our mouths and in our hearts so that we MAY do it. We are to be reminded of it so that we may do it. We are to REMEMBER the words of Jesus and DO them.

Deuteronomy 30:12-20 KJV
(12) It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
(13) Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
(14) But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
(15) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
(16) In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Let us not turn away from Him who warns us from heaven. Let us not harden our hearts and depart from the living God. Let us not listen to the pastors of greed and their great swelling words and so ignore the words of life.

(17) But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
(18) I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

Let us choose LIFE and not death.

(19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Let us obey His voice…for He is our LIFE and the LENGTH OF OUR DAYS.

(20) That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven…..the airway by which the words reach our ears. Let us hear and DO what is being said into our ears. For if we dwell upon the things of the heart (love of money, envy and strife, etc) then we will fall victim to the false prophets who lead many away to their deaths. They “break through and steal” the LIFE that is ours. They steal your heart and your life with their feigned words of righteousness.

Matthew 6:19-24 KJV
(19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
(20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
(21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(22) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
(23) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
(24) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Let us seek those things which are above and not set our affections on the things of the earth…the hearts of men who harbor greed….

Colossians 3:1-9 KJV
(1) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
(2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
(3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Let us come out from among those who are living in “death”…..and do not want to hear the Truth.

(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
(7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
(9) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

For those who will listen to the flattering words of a deceitful tongue shall be led down the broad way to the chambers of death. She….the flattering tongue…..has slain MANY. Why keep company with them?

Proverbs 7:21-27 KJV
(21) With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
(22) He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
(23) Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
(24) Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
(25) Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
(26) For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
(27) Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.


To be continued….

Let us depart from the errors of religious men whose tongues have deceitfully led MULTITUDES to their graves…..being robbed of an age-lasting life in the here and now. Let us come forth from the “graves” of religious men.

Let us no longer listen to their words: “let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die”. Let us not buy their “merchandise” any more for their words are in error of the Truth. Let us not look back at them fondly…. neither wish them “godspeed”. Let us depart RUNNING….. never looking back. Let not another minute of our lives slip by.


Let us come out from among them….for our bodies are the members of Christ. If we listen to and dwell with the flattering, deceitful tongue of religious-sounding men….. the “harlot”…the “strange woman”, then we are one with her in flesh. And we know what happens to those who are joined with her: their lives are taken from them and they perish just like the rest of mankind.

The deceitful tongues of men have led many down the broad way to their destruction…..the destruction of the flesh…for the “whole” of their man has not been kept. The flattering tongues of men have led many away from having love for one another and into the grave: denominations, commandments of men that perish with the using, strange teachings, death. They abide in “death” as they “live” for they hate each other because of teachings and commandments of men that turn from the Truth. They forget the covenant of God as they forget to have love for one another.

Proverbs 2:16-19 KJV
(16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
(17) Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
(18) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
(19) None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

Let us no longer participate with them…. for those who do are ONE with her. They speak her words…they are one with her in “spirit”…that is, breath….they follow her commandments…they honor her “wise” men….and they follow her to their deaths…the death of the body. No flesh is “saved”…preserved…in her presence. They are perishing just like the rest of the world.

1 Corinthians 6:15-17 KJV
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Instead, let us lay up treasure in heaven…..by receiving what we hear: His words of LIFE and Spirit. Let us KEEP His commandments. Let us incline our ears unto wisdom and apply our hearts to understanding….so that we may escape from the “strange woman”.

Proverbs 2:1-22 KJV
(1) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
(2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
(3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
(4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
(5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
(6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
(7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
(8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
(9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
(10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
(11) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

His wisdom and understanding delivers us from the evil…..from religious-sounding men who speak “froward” things and lead us away from the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness.

(12) To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
(13) Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
(14) Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
(15) Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

The Lord comes to give us understanding so that we may know Him who is true….and so we can be delivered from the “strange woman”….the tongue that speaks flattering, fine-sounding, religious-sounding words. The fine-sounding words…the goodly words of men deceive the simple.

(16) To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
(17) Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

His understanding delivers us from abiding in their “death”. We come forth from the “grave” to receive His LIFE.

(18) For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

None that go unto her return again….neither do they take hold of the paths of life….that is, they do not lay hold on the “eternal life”….the age-lasting life in the here and now. They go into the religious organizations of men and never depart. They continue to live and believe in what they are fed until the day of their death. They continue to support and defend their religious organizations never realizing that it is just a “grave” wherein the “dead” are gathered.

(19) None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
(20) That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

The upright shall dwell in the land and the perfect shall REMAIN in it.

(21) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
(22) But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

To be continued…

The servants of sin….those who fight with each other with hateful words in their envy and strife…do not abide in the “house forever”. That is, they do not abide in their body to the age as they perish from off the face of the earth. But those who have the Son….doing what He says….REMAINS to the age.

John 8:34-36 KJV
(34) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
(35) And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
(36) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Our body of flesh is a “house”….a “tabernacle” for God to dwell in. GOD IS LOVE. Everyone in this world already knows how to love.

If one sows after the flesh, the body reaps decay….corruption. The body starts to “perish” as time brings on the physical effects of being a servant to sin. It starts to break down and continues until we are fully consumed from off the face of this world. It is a “disease”….one that is brought on by sin….evil speaking of another…not having love for others.

This is a “disease” that can be healed in Christ Jesus who gives us the remission of sins so that we might overcome sin. He gives us the power to overcome so that we might have unfeigned love for one another and so NOT PERISH like the rest of the world that lies in wickedness. Our FAITH in Him heals us.

His goodness and mercy shall follow us ALL of the days of our lives in the here and now. We will dwell in the “house” of Jehovah to the age. WE are His “house” in the here and now.

Psalms 23:6 KJV
(6) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

He that can OVERCOME shall inherit all things. The tabernacle of God shall be with us….IN THIS LIFE IN THE HERE AND NOW. The “tabernacle” is our body.

Revelation 21:3-7 KJV
(3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And the former things…..the sorrow, crying and pain that comes with our bodies decaying to death…shall pass away. This is about the tabernacle of the body in the here and now.

(4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
(5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
(6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

But we must OVERCOME the sin that so easily entangles us and destroys our flesh.

(7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

For what comes out of the mouth is what “defiles”…or makes common…the “man”:

Matthew 15:10-11 KJV
(10) And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
(11) Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

It is the tongue that speaks evil that defiles the whole body.

It is only a small part of the body, but its misdeeds affects the WHOLE body. It spots it….it mars it…it blemishes it. It brings decay…..it brings sorrow….it brings tears….it brings death. This is not the life we were meant to live as His tabernacle…as His house…as His place of dwelling . Decaying to the grave is NOT the LIFE in Christ Jesus. It is “perishing”. The whole world perishes but our Lord came into the world so that we might have THE life in Him and have it abundantly. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

James 3:6-8 KJV
(6) And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
(7) For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
(8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

The whole world lies in wickedness and all are abiding under the wrath of God being condemned already to perish off the face of this earth…. dying in sins. But our Lord shall “save” ….preserve…those who will believe in Him. They will not die the perishing life in their sins. Our faith shall heal us of the “disease” of decaying to the grave in a relatively short amount of time.

John 8:24 KJV
(24) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

We may eat freely of every tree of the garden….the fruits of the Spirit: LOVE, peace, joy, patience, kindness, etc.

Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
(16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

Life and death are in the power (Hebrew word meaning “hand”) of the tongue. Those who will love it shall eat the fruit of it.

(17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

“Dying thou dost die”….by “killing” another with our tongues….speaking evil of another, we shall die.

Young's Literal Translation

Genesis 2:17
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.'

We can not bless God and then curse men with the same tongue and expect to live an “eternal life”….that is an age-lasting life in the here and now. The tongue shall give us “fruit” to eat.

James 3:8-18 KJV
(8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
(9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
(10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
(11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
(12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
(13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
(14) But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
(15) This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
(16) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
(17) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Let us eat of the trees of the garden freely……those whose fruit is the fruit of righteousness. Let us pursue peace with ALL men.

(18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

But many do have bitter envying and strife in their hearts. “Ye shall be as gods”….that is, JUDGES. “gods = elohim which means judges also. They think that they are doing God service for judging another who is not of their particular belief or denomination.

Genesis 3:4-6 KJV
(4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
(5) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
(6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

He that speaks evil of his brother is a JUDGE. They see themselves as “gods”….JUDGES….knowing good and evil. And so they “kill” a brother with their tongues thinking that they are doing God service…which is a lie. They become judge, jury and executioner. They think that they will not die for doing such things….for they have eternal life after they die….when that LIFE is in the here and now.

James 4:10-12 KJV
(10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
(11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?


He that speaks evil of his brother is a "murderer"....for he has no love for his brother. There is no "eternal life" within those who speak evil of each other. But our Lord is merciful for our sins and comes to give us knowledge so that we might cast off the works of darkness and have unfeigned love for each other.


to be continued…

He that will sows to the Spirit reaps from that Spirit “life everlasting”…life in the here and now to the age. The quantity and quality of our lives shall be increased in the here and now.

Galatians 6:7-9 KJV
(7) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
(8) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Let us not be weary….to be relaxed…in well doing.

(9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also make alive our MORTAL BODIES by His Spirit that dwells in us….if we DO what He says.

Romans 8:11-14 KJV
(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.

Let us deaden the deeds of the body….the body of sin…that men are living in. Let us come out from among them and cast their works of darkness….works of ignorance…away from us. Let us not touch the “dead” body any more. Let us not be attached to the “graves” of religious men who take this life away from many by their deceptive words. Let us not be involved in their envying and striving over words. Let us not be involved in their divisions and their wars. Let us not be involved with their hatred of one another.

(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.

Case in point: Daniel, , Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah…..

Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king of Babylon’s meat nor with his wine.



We also should purpose in our hearts not to defile ourselves anymore with Babylon’s teachings and commandments of men which are motivated by the lusts…the covetousness, the envying, the striving, the hatred ….in religious men’s hearts. Let us no longer eat what they are serving us. Let us no longer drink the “wine of Babylon”. Let us no longer "eat" with them. Let us no longer keep company with them.


Daniel 1:8-21 KJV
(8) But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
(9) Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
(10) And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
(11) Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

So Daniel proposed a test for “ten days” to eat “pulse” and drink water.



This is symbolic of sowing to the Spirit and drinking the Living Water.



The Hebrew word for “pulse” is “zeroa” which means “things sown”. This is saying that Daniel sowed to the Spirit and not to the flesh…to the lusts of men (the king’s meat and wine).

(12) Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
(13) Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

We also shall be tested “10 days” by the devil as those who will not agree with us (those who will continue to live after the flesh) shall persecute those who are of the Spirit. Our faith shall be tested….but those who continue to sow after the Spirit shall reap “everlasting life”.

(14) So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

The LIFE that is within us shall liven our MORTAL BODIES……as those who live after the flesh shall continue to perish.

(15) And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
(16) Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

And God shall also give us knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. We shall understand the Scriptures. The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give unto usthe spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.

(17) As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Our lives shall be lengthened to the “end of days”….and the Lord…the KING OF KINGS…. shall raise us up. He shall exalt us before our enemies.

(18) Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

We shall stand before the KING of KINGS ….the Lord of lords. He communes with us as He dwells among us in our tabernacles….our bodies. He speaks to us and we see His face.

(19) And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
(20) And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

And Daniel “continued”. We shall also “continue” unto the coming of the King of kings. IF we abide in Him, we shall be ALIVE AND REMAINING unto the coming of the Lord.....and He will exalt us for we had suffered with Him.


(21) And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

The Lord is merciful and delivers us from those who are living in error of the Truth. The Truth shall set us free. He shall quicken us who are “dead” in trespasses and sins….wherein many are following and serving the carnal-minded doctrines and commandments of men.

Ephesians 2:1-10 KJV
(1) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
(2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

We will no longer partake with those who are living in error. We will no longer live out the rest of our time here to the lusts of religious-sounding men in the high places. We are the “children of wrath” just like the rest of the world because of our association with them. Our mortal bodies perish off the face of this earth just like the outside “sinners” of the world. But our God is rich in mercy. He delivers us from them by the sending of His Son….who will enlighten the eyes of our understanding.

(3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
(4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

He shall quicken us TOGETHER with Christ. We were once “dead” in sins in our denominations…but because of His great, rich mercy and love for us, He raises up TOGETHER. No divisions. No commandments and doctrines of men. We shall come together in ONE mind and ONE Spirit…..in ONE body of Christ. By His grace we are “saved”….preserved from perishing in the here and now.

(5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
(6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
(7) That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
(8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
(9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

We have lived among them in their denominations of men….being foolish, disobedient, deceived, living in malice and envy and hating one another.

Titus 3:3-7 KJV
(3) For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But by His GRACE….by His MERCY….He saves us from those who are living in error. He saves us by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit within us.

(4) But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
(5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(6) Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

He makes us heirs according to the hope of “eternal life”…..

(7) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

When He rescues us , we are to then follow after righteousness…..godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness….

1 Timothy 6:11-12 KJV
(11) But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

…thereby, laying hold on “eternal life”….an age-lasting life in the here and now.

(12) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

We are to be His “vessels of mercy” in the here and now. We have this treasure in our “earthen vessels” so that we may continue for many days in order to show forth His glory. We can NOT prolong our lives by any of our own efforts….but it is the POWER OF GOD that does. Man can not add one stature to his life….but our God in His power displays His glory by keeping us alive and remaining.

Romans 9:22-23 KJV
(22) What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
(23) And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

To be continued…..

We are to come out from among the unbelievers of the churches….no longer “eating” the doctrines of men that they are eating…and not “drinking” from the cup of wrath that will come out of their mouths when we leave from them. They will not believe in the Truth when they will hear it and we are not to join along with them nor return evil for evil.

Light comes into this world but religious-sounding, carnally-minded men will love their works of darkness more than the Light of the knowledge of God.

John 3:19-21 KJV
(19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
(20) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
(21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

What fellowship does righteousness have with unrighteousness?

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

We HAVE to come out from among them and be SEPARATE and touch not the unclean thing so that He will receive us. We can not just sit there with them in their worship services which are motivated by religious man’s lusts that are hidden in their hearts.

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

We are not to keep company with “fornicators”…..covetous pastors and their followers.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 KJV
(9) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:

This is not about leaving the world but leaving the “church” that is not founded upon LOVE…upon the Word of Truth.

(10) Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

We are not to “eat” with them…..in their doctrines and commandments that are motivated by covetousness.

(11) But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

By leaving their company, it is a judgment call. Why judge them that are without when we truly have to consider who we are currently fellowshipping with?

(12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
(13) But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

They will persecute those who leave….but be not afraid of their “terror” neither by troubled. Who can harm us if we are followers of that which is good?

1 Peter 3:13-16 KJV
(13) And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
(14) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

We are not to render evil for their evil. We are to sanctify the Lord God in our hearts and be ready to always give an answer to every man that will ask us the reason of hope that is in us. We are to answer them with meekness and fear….working out our salvation with fear and trembling.

(15) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
(16) Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

If we keep company with them, then we are joined to them as one body….one FLESH. We are perishing with them by our keeping company with them…..by our association with them.

“Fornication” is covetousness.

Many use their tongues to deceitfully handle the Word of God to make merchandise of their hearers….and if we sit there with them, we are committing “fornication”…sinning against our own body.

Many are perishing because of this. The “strange woman”….the flattering tongue…has used her deceptive, flattering words to lead them down the broad way to the grave. Those who sit with her are in the company of the “dead”…..and their “lives” have been stolen from them as they have been led away from love. They are children of wrath as the others on the outside world…..perishing away to the grave.

1 Corinthians 6:15-20 KJV
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Let us “put away” this “woman”…the “strange woman”…the flattering tongue of men. Let us come out from among them who do commit “fornication” so He can receive us.

Matthew 5:32 KJV
(32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

When we shall see the “abomination of desolation”…..covetousness…..standing where it ought NOT be, then those who are in Christ are to FLEE….FLEE from fornication…..FLEE from covetousness. We are to FLEE to the “mountains” of God’s righteousness.

Mark 13:14-16 KJV
(14) But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
(15) And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

Leave it all behind. Those who will understand are NOT to turn back again from hearing the Truth to “take up his garment”.

(16) And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

That is, we are to STOP using flattering words as a “garment” …a covering for covetousness…..the abomination of desolation.

1 Thessalonians 2:5 KJV
(5) For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness;God is witness:

The “abomination of desolation” is covetousness. It should not be FOUND in the “temple”. WE are His temple.

John 2:13-17 KJV
(13) And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
(14) And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
(15) And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

Make not the Father’s house a “house of merchandise”.
(16) And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
(17) And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

....continued from previous post.





If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God “destroy”….that is, to “to shrivel, pine away, waste, ruin”. If we defile the temple by preaching flattering words to others…thereby leading them astray and destroying their bodies as they perish and are not preserved unto the coming of our Lord, then we ourselves shall be destroyed.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV
(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
(17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

When we do come out from among them, we WILL suffer PERSECUTION for doing so. They will call us evil doers, heretics, false Christians, etc. They will rail and revile us but no harm shall come to us as we will NOT render evil for their evil. This is how we suffer with Christ. Our faith shall be TESTED by the “devil”…which means “false accuser”.

We are to be faithful unto the “death”. That is, the death of Jesus Christ. If we are faithful to the “death”, He will give us a crown of LIFE in the here and now.

Revelation 2:10-11 KJV
(10) Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
(11) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Being faithful to the “death” is bearing about in the body the DYING of the Lord Jesus.

As Jesus did not revile others when reviled nor threaten when he we was threatened nor render evil for evil when he was crucified, we also are not to return evil for evil when we are persecuted for His sake. We are to constantly continue to bear about His dying toward all men so that the LIFE ALSO of Jesus might be MANIFEST IN OUR BODY in the here and now.

He will give us a crown of life.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 KJV
(7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
(8) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
(9) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Again, the LIFE of Jesus will be made manifest in our MORTAL FLESH in the here and now if we are faithful unto the “death” for Jesus’ sake.

(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Let no man beguile you of your reward…. “eternal life”….an age-lasting life in the here and now. Many have been deceived by the flattering tongue. MANY have been led down the wrong path away from this promised LIFE. Many have fallen “asleep”. Yet, our Lord shall bring them again.

Colossians 2:18-19 KJV
(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Let us make straight paths for our feet lest that which is lame be turned out of the Way. Let it be healed.

Hebrews 12:13-17 KJV
(13) And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with ALL men and holiness.

(14) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

We have to be absolutely diligent about well doing…and not relax.

(15) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Let us not be a “fornicator” ….using flattering words for covetousness. Why would anyone sell his birthright….”ETERNAL LIFE” in the here and now….for a “morsel of meat”?

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

Let us hear the Truth and DO it. Let us DO IT TODAY in the acceptable year of the Lord. Why fight against the Truth because of covetousness only to be rejected later for an age-lasting life when one will finally believe…and then it is too late?

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

We are to hear Him NOW…..

Proverbs 5:7-13 KJV
(7) Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

We are to remove from the “strange woman”…the flattering tongue.

(8) Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
(9) Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
(10) Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

If we continue to keep company with them after hearing the words of His mouth, then we shall MOURN at the last…when our flesh and our bodies are consumed. Then, it will be too late. Why perish with them? Why share in their sins and their plagues?

(11) And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

Let us HEED the Voice from heaven. Let us not hate the instruction and despise the reproof. The instruction is for our good. We are to inherit the age-lasting life in the here and now. Why sit together with the naysayers…those who will reject the instruction...and REGRET it later? Why continue to PERISH with them?

(12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

Let us hear and OBEY His voice TODAY and not reject what is said. Let us depart from the company of unbelievers. They will believe….in the end ….when it is too late for very knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess.

(13) And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!



Luke 13:24-27 KJV
(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.

to be continued....

Jesus is not of this “world”.

The word “world” in John 8:23 is the Greek “kosmos” which means: “the order, or arrangement of things; a mode, fashion, form or system of things”. What “order” would that be ? The “order of the law of sin and death.

The whole world is living in this order. The whole world is lying in wickedness. All are living perishing lives because of sins. They are perishing from off the face of this earth in a relatively short time because of a lack of knowledge. They spring up in the morning of their lives but in the evening they are cut down as they decay to the grave. Our lives are not being lived to the fullest every day to the end. Our flesh is not being preserved alive because of sin and its decaying influence upon the body.

But, the knowledge….the Light of the knowledge of God in the face of Jesus Christ….comes to save us from our sins and from this perishing “order”. Jesus came into the world so that we might have life and have it more abundantly….an age-lasting life in the here and now. “Eternal life” in the present tense.

He came to deliver us from this current “order”…this “world”… of the law of sin and death. We leave one age behind and enter into the next. We leave one world behind and enter into the next. The “former things” shall pass away as He makes things new.

Revelation 21:3-7 KJV
(3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
(4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
(5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
(6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
(7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

If any man be in Christ, he is a “new creature”….RIGHT NOW in the here and now. The “old things” that were of the law of sin and death will have passed away and all things are become NEW.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 KJV
(17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
(19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

We are to be reconciled to God.

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

We are reconciled to God in Christ so that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
(21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We have to follow His commandment though: to have love for one another….for all people at all times. There are NO exceptions.

We have to BELIEVE in Him and His words of life and spirit. Believing is DOING what He says. One can not bless God and curse men with the same mouth and expect to ABIDE in Him. We are to be reconciled to God by the confession of our sins in Christ Jesus and be saved.

Yet, some will not believe this and continue to die in their sins. They can not come where He goes because they will continue to perish from off the face of this earth in their sins…in their unbelief.

John 8:21-24 KJV
(21) Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
(22) Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
(23) And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
(24) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Now the “end” or consummation of the commandment is LOVE out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned.

1 Timothy 1:5-17 KJV
(5) Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

People have swerved from this because of the “vain jangling” of their pastors, priests, reverends, etc.

(6) From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

Their leaders desire to be teachers of the law.

They have people obeying various commandments that they have picked and there is fighting over them. They terrorize people with their words into observing their teachings and commandments. They use the fear of death to bring them into the bondage of men. But the end result of all this is a lack of love for each other which is abiding in “death” itself. They are “perishing” in their sins. They are “dead” in sins and trespasses.

They have all kinds of rules and regulations for their congregations to follow so that they can glory in the flesh. They want to glory that you follow their commandments. They glory in the flesh by having you tithe, observing certain days, observing rules, etc, etc, etc and all the while judging others who do not follow their particular commandments.

(7) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
(8) But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
(9) Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
(10) For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
(11) According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
(12) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

But the same abundant grace of our Lord that was shown to Saul/Paul is also shown to us as well.

We, who were once blasphemers, persecutors of others…being “injurious” in speaking evil of others…when we were part of the denominations of men, will now obtain MERCY. We obtain mercy because of our lack of knowledge and having done these evil things IGNORANTLY in unbelief.

(13) Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

The same grace of our Lord that was shown to Saul/Paul is shown to us as well.

(14) And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

For Christ Jesus came into to save us sinners.

To “sin” is to “miss the mark” so as not to share in the prize. The mark is to have love for one another.

We “miss the mark” of having love for one another when we are led astray with the deceptive words of religious-sounding men in the high places of the church. We, therefore, do not “share in the prize”…..ETERNAL LIFE….an age-lasting life in the here and now.

(15) This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

But we are to obtain the same mercy that was shown to Saul/Paul who once was zealous for his fathers’ religion. He counted his religion as “dung” for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ after he received the revelation of the Lord before his very eyes.

He is a pattern to us today….for those who should believe on Him to “life everlasting”.

(16) Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
(17) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Saul/Paul ….a pattern for us today…..was zealous for his fathers’ religion.

Many are also zealous for their religion. Little do they know that they are really persecuting the church of God and are wasting it. They are causing many to perish by leading people astray from having love for one another with their words of ignorance.

“Saul” in Hebrew is spelled the same as the word “SHEOL”….the grave. The teachings and commandments of men lead many astray from having love for one another to the grave. Their throat is an open sepulcher and their words cause His people to perish for there is no knowledge…NO UNDERSTANDING… in their teachings.

Romans 3:10-18 KJV
(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
(12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(13) Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
(14) Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
(15) Their feet are swift to shed blood:
(16) Destruction and misery are in their ways:
(17) And the way of peace have they not known:
(18) There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Saul….Sheol….has made “havoc” of the church…entering into EVERY house and has hauled off many to the “prison” of their religions.

Acts 8:3 KJV
(3) As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

Of course, they do not do this with the physical force that was used on the early Christian church but they are masquerading as messengers of “righteousness” and the end result is the same: sin, death, Sheol, the grave.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
(13) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(14) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
(15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

....continued from previous post











Many use the deceptive, flattering tongue….Babylon….to lead many astray. They “corrupt the word of God” for unjust gain.

2 Corinthians 2:17 KJV
(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

But even though they persecute the church of God and waste it, some of them shall see the great Light of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ in this coming time.

Galatians 1:13-16 KJV
(13) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
(14) And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

They will receive the same grace that was shown to Saul. WE ALL who believe shall receive that same grace that was shown Saul who shall call us and separate from our “mother’s womb”….the religions of men…Babylon.

(15) But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
(16) To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

The believers of that great Light will “lose their religion” and count those things as loss for Christ in order to win Christ. They will count ALL the things of their religion as a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. Saul is a pattern for us today.

Philippians 3:7-14 KJV
(7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
(8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
(9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

We are not redeemed by the works of righteousness that are prescribed by the teachings of religious men.

When we shall leave our religion, we shall be persecuted by those who we leave behind. We shall share in the fellowship of His sufferings as we will not render evil for their evil and so being made conformable to His death. This is “eternal life”….to know Him and the power of His resurrection….the standing up. We shall abide in Him…continuing in the here and now as His power shall preserve our bodies and He shall exalt us before the enemies. We that will humble ourselves to the Truth shall be exalted.

(10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

By doing these things….having love for one another…..leaving our religions behind and suffering the resulting persecutions….by continuing in well-doing toward all men whether foe or friend, we lay hold onto “eternal life”….an age-lasting life in the here and now. He shall exalt us in due time.

(11) If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
(12) Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

We are to forget those things which we leave behind. We are to leave all of our religion behind us and forget the things we once were a part of and focus on reaching forth unto those things which are before us….such as “eternal life”.

(13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

We are to press toward the “mark” for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

(14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

The “mark” is to have true love for one another out of a pure heart and a good conscience with faith unfeigned.

The “prize” is “eternal life”…an age-lasting life in the here and now.

1 Timothy 6:12 KJV
(12) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

We are to “run” for our LIFE. We run for a “prize”….a crown of LIFE. We run according to the rule of having love for all.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV
(24) Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Those who will run are temperate in ALL things in order to receive a crown of LIFE in the here and now.

(25) And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
(26) I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
(27) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

The “perfect man” has control over his tongue in Christ Jesus. That same man is able to bridle the whole body.

James 3:2 KJV
(2) For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

We are instructed into the Way of righteousness so that the man of God may be perfect…..

2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

To be continued….

Jesus comes as the Light into this present world of darkness….this present order of things wherein His people are living in ignorance and are perishing in their sins. His people are like “lost sheep”. They are perishing as they are “dead in trespasses and sins”…..being lost sheep who have no shepherd who cares for them.

The Hebrew word for “lost” here in Jeremiah is “abad” which means “perish, destroy, wander away.” They are sheep who are perishing. The whole of them (body, spirit and soul) is not kept as their bodies perish away to the grave because of their leaders’ words. “Lost” = perishing.

Jeremiah 50:6-8 KJV
(6) My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
(7) All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.

Many have been led away from having love for one another because of the deceptive words of their teachers and have perished and are perishing. They have forgotten their “resting place”: to have love for one another .

They have been robbed of the LIFE that is promised to His people in Christ Jesus….the “eternal life” in the here and now. They put the “eternal life” in the afterlife…after one dies from this earth…when it is a present reality.

We are to remove out of the midst of Babylon…..the flattering, deceptive tongues of the “shepherds” who have led many astray.

(8) Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

He comes to give us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. He is merciful to us. By His grace we are saved.

John 12:46-47 KJV
(46) I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

He comes so that we may be “saved”….healed….preserved…in the here and now.

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

He was a partaker of flesh and blood so that through his death he should destroy him that has the power of death….that is, the devil.

Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV
(14) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

He came to deliver us from the bondage of religious-sounding men who bring the fear of death into our lives by their deceptive words. We perish because of being brought into religious bondage wherein exists envy, strife and hatred of one another. We fear death because we perish just like the rest of the world.

Who can not forget those terrifying sermons on dying and going to hell if we don’t do this or that? It has scared many people into “church”….or rather, the bondage of man. It has scared many into death and Hades….a place where there is no true knowledge.

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

But the Lord tells us…the churches….that He has the keys of the “hell” and death. We do not have to abide with them as He comes to give us an understanding.

Revelation 1:18 KJV
(18) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

By His grace, we are to be delivered from the power of darkness (the deception of religious-sounding men) and to be translated into the kingdom of His dear Son.

Colossians 1:12-15 KJV
(12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
(13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
(14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

We are to no longer be of this “world”….this “order” of things wherein religious-sounding men are living to the lusts of the flesh….fulfilling the desires of the flesh and mind. We shall not abide in “darkness”. We shall not abide in “death”.

We are to come out from among them so as not to share in their sins and plagues. We are to overcome the world in Him. We are “strangers and pilgrims” in this “world”…in this current order of things. They shall speak evil of us as “evil doers”….but we are to fight the urge to speak evil back.

1 Peter 2:11-12 KJV
(11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
(12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.


They will not want to hear the truth… that their deeds are evil. They will not believe and will hate the Light and refuse to come to it. Instead, they will speak evil of what they will hear.

Ephesians 2:1-5 KJV
(1) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
(2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
(3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
(4) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
(5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved

This “world”…this “order” of the law of sin and death …is coming to an end. This “age” is coming to an end.

Yet, many shall love this present age….this “world” and will not believe in the Truth when they will hear it. Today, if we hear His voice, we are not to harden our hearts in unbelief. For some (who were in the desert) when they HEARD, they did PROVOKE.

Hebrews 3:15-19 KJV
(15) While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
(16) For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

It was the carcasses of the unbelievers among His people who fell in the wilderness. It was the sinners among His people who died for their sins.

(17) But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

They did not enter into His rest because of unbelief.

(18) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
(19) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

All the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah. This is the coming age….the next world…the next order of things. We are strangers and pilgrims here in this “world” as we make our journey to the end……when the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah.

Numbers 14:21-24 KJV
(21) But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

But those who will hear the Word of Truth and yet provoke what is said….contradicting, vilifying, accusing, complaining, murmuring, making false accusations, etc, ….shall not LIVE to see the “land” that was promised.

They shall perish in their sins from off the earth BEFORE they see it. They can not come along because of their unbelief.

The meek, though, shall inherit the earth….for they shall ABIDE here to see it come….the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. They shall enter into the Kingdom of God before it comes to the whole earth.

(22) Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

But those who will not believe and shall berate what is said shall not see that coming “land”. NONE of them that will provoke shall see it…for they will perish off the face of the earth in their destruction.

(23) Surely they shall not see the landwhich I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

Those who will hear and believe….doing what is said….shall live to see it.

Caleb had “eternal life”…..for he continued to live on to see and possess the “land” as the others perished away in their sins and did not abide. Caleb had FAITH and followed God fully and so did abide.

(24) But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Caleb was 40 years old when he was sent out to spy out the land….and he brought the Word again as it was in his heart. The Word was within Caleb’s heart and so he believed. The Word had a place within in his heart.

Joshua 14:7-11 KJV
(7) Forty years old wasI when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

But the people listened to their tribal leaders instead who were also sent out to spy out the land. They did not believe God’s witness. The people did not believe in what Caleb had to say but listened to the words of their leaders.

(8) Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
(9) And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

Caleb believed in his heart on the Word and confessed with his mouth. Caleb WHOLLY FOLLOWED Jehovah and so received the gift of “eternal life”. Jehovah kept him alive. Caleb was as strong at the age of 85 as he was at 40.

(10) And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive,as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

As his strength was then, even so his strength was now. He remained….as the unbelievers perished in the desert behind.

(11) As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

Caleb was an overcomer. He was a believer. He was a doer…for he wholly followed the Father.

Numbers 13:30-33 KJV
(30) And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
(31) But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
(32) And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
(33) And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.


continued in next post....

....continued from previous post.






The promised “land”…..or earth…..is the Age that is coming in which ALL of the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God.

Habakkuk 2:14 KJV
(14) For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:9 KJV
(9) They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Psalms 72:18-19 KJV
(18) Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
(19) And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

He shall raise us up….exalt us…..as a city upon a mountain…for all to see in this earth. ALL the “families of the earth” shall be blessed through us….as was promised Abram.

Genesis 12:3 KJV
(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

But first, Babylon must be destroyed. First, we need to get OUT of her.

Revelation 18:4-5 KJV
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
(5) For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

We have to get out of our “country and from our kindred and from our fathers’ house”….just as it was said to Abram. We must leave our current association with those who will not believe…who will not receive the love of the Truth and be saved.

Genesis 12:1-4 KJV
(1) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
(2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

And we are to receive the promises made to Abraham because of FAITH.

(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(4) So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

His kingdom is not of this world…this “order” of things. But we shall abide until His kingdom fully comes to this earth as we enter into His kingdom NOW personally. The just shall LIVE by his faith. We shall be ALIVE and REMAINING until His coming…..until the glory and knowledge of God covers the earth.

Habakkuk 2:4 KJV
(4) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed and ALL flesh shall see it together.

Isaiah 40:5 KJV
(5) And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

But first, we are to suffer the persecution of those who will continue to perish because of their unbelief. They will not receive the love of the Truth and be “saved”….preserved until the coming of the Lord upon all of the earth.

A trying time is coming as many false prophets shall arise in order to try to seduce us away from the Truth. They will speak to those who will be escaping from them with great, swelling words of vanity.

Matthew 24:11-14 KJV
(11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But we are to endure until the end. We are to be preserved in this life as we DO what He says….not rendering evil for their evil….not listening to the false words of false prophets and shrinking back into their influence….not cowering back in fear because of their persecution…etc.

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

And THEN, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to ALL of the world for witness unto ALL nations….and then the end of this age shall come to an end….for all of the earth shall be filled with His knowledge.

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

to be continued….

The coming age is the “promised land” to which we are moving forward to. This coming “world” is one in which righteousness shall dwell ….for the earth shall be covered with the knowledge of God. We “taste” the good Word of God and the powers of the “world”…the Age….to come. We taste this NOW. We, who believe, enter into it now.

Hebrews 6:4-5 KJV
(4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
(5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

The spies brought back the fruit of the “land”. The eyes of our understanding are to be enlightened to it as we “taste” it.

Numbers 13:27 KJV
(27) And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

Yet, there will be men in the high places of the church who will forbid their congregations from tasting. They will command you to “abstain from meats”…..from receiving the Truth.

1 Timothy 4:1-6 KJV
(1) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
(2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
(3) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

They will refuse what is being spoken….refusing to taste of the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come. It should not be refused….but RECEIVED with thanksgiving.

(4) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
(5) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
(6) If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

Like “Saul”….which has the same spelling in Hebrew as “Sheol”, the kings of the gentile church…who love to have the preeminence among men…. will forbid people from the “eating” of this “food” . And those who will fear man will not put “his hand to his mouth” even though the “honey drops” before them.

1 Samuel 14:26-28 KJV
(26) And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

But, we see that Jonathan took of the honey and put it to his mouth and the “eyes were enlightened”.

(27) But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
(28) Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

The “eyes” of our understanding shall also be enlightened to the good Word of God…the “honey”.

1 Samuel 14:29 KJV
(29) Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

We have a “high calling”….one that involves the next Age. He lets us know this before it gets here as he gives us the sweetness of the Word. He gives us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Ephesians 1:16-23 KJV
(16) Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
(17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The “eyes of our understanding” are enlightened by the “honey” for we KNOW what is the hope of His calling…..the “high calling” of the Lord.

(18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
(19) And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
(20) Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Jesus was raised from the dead and sits at His right hand far above all rulers not only in this “world”…this age….but ALSO in that Age which is to come. He also, in Christ Jesus, makes us kings and priests with Him especially in the Age to come. If we suffer with Him in this age, we shall be co-heirs of His glory in the next.

(21) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
(22) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
(23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

The suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:17-25 KJV
(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.

For the earnest expectation of the “creature” waits for the manifestation of the sons of God whereby it will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

(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.

The whole creation shall be delivered from the decay through us who are in Christ Jesus. ALL of the families of the earth shall be blessed through us.

But FIRST…..we are waiting for the redemption of our “body”. The “body” here refers to the body of Christ. We are waiting for the Lord to call His people out of Babylon. We are waiting for the redemption for the entire body of Christ so that we may rule as “one man” in one spirit and one mind for the coming age.

(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.

We are first waiting for the redemption of the body…..until we come together in the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a PERFECT MAN unto the measure of the stature of the FULLNESS of Christ.

Ephesians 4:13-16 KJV
(13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
(14) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

We are waiting for the redemption of the body…..when we are all speaking Truth in love and have grown up into him all things which is the head….even Christ.

(15) But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

We are waiting for the redemption of the body in which is to be fitly joined together in love for each other.

(16) From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.


In the “mouth” , His words are like honey. It is a delight to hear and taste the Word of God for the words are sweet to the taste.

Psalms 119:103 KJV
(103) How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

To the ones who will hear and believe in the good Word of God, the preachers of His words are a sweet savor of Christ in them that are “saved”….preserved.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV
(14) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

But to those who make a rich living by merchandising the Word of God for unjust gain, the preachers of the Word of Truth shall be a savor of death unto death. These are those who will continue to perish off the face of the earth for they will hear but not believe….nor obey. In their “belly”, the good Word of God becomes bitter to them.

(16) To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

They will continue to “corrupt”…or retail…. the Word of God and will forbid others to receiving the Truth which should be received with thanksgiving.

Their “god” is their belly …covetousness….and their glory is in in their shame as they will mind the earthly things. Their end is destruction….for they are perishing and their unbelief keeps them out of the LIFE….the promised life.

Philippians 3:18-19 KJV
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have right to the tree of LIFE and may enter in through the gates into the city where in we rule with the Lord in the next Age.

Revelation 22:14-15 KJV
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Without are the unbelievers…..who wrest the Scriptures to deceive the simple (the “sorcerers” who preach falsehoods) for their own covetousness (idolatry, their god is their belly) and they hate and speak evil of those who will preach and do the Truth (“murdering”). They will not be able to enter in.

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

We are to keep His commandments….do them so that we may be STRONG…like Caleb was kept. Caleb followed the Lord FULLY and LIVED to see the “promised land”. He was as strong at the age of 85 as he was at 40 when he believed and confessed the Truth. Caleb was fully fit in his strength to go in and possess the land. We, also, shall be kept strong in the here and now as we wait for the coming of the next age.

Deuteronomy 11:8-9 KJV
(8) Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

Doing His commandments also prolongs our days in the land that flows with milk and honey.

(9) And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

The “land”….the coming order of this earth….will not be like this current age for the earth shall be covered with the knowledge of the glory of God. The “glory of ALL LANDS” shall be in the worship of God in Truth and Spirit. He has separated us from this current world to keep us until that age comes.

Ezekiel 20:6-8 KJV
(6) In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
(7) Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Yet, many have rebelled against Him and are not truly listening. Many have incorporated this world into their churches supposing that gain is godliness. They have not forsaken their idols of Egypt for they teach for doctrines the commandments of men which are motivated by the hidden covetousness in men’s hearts. Many are living in divisions, envy, strife and hatred of one another and so they perish.

(8) But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

To be continued…

The just shall LIVE by faith.

They shall live an “eternal life”….an age-lasting life in the here and now. This is NOT about after we “die and go to heaven”. We shall live upon this earth to see the end of this present age and the coming of the next in its fullness. Our lives shall be prolonged in the next age where we are to participate in taking….. possessing ….this earth in its entirety for God.

The knowledge of God shall cover the entire earth as the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached unto all nations….and we shall participate.

Habakkuk 2:4 KJV
(4) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

We are to hear His words and DO them so that we shall LIVE upon the earth . When we hear His words, we learn to fear Him ALL the days that we shall live upon the earth.

Deuteronomy 4:10 KJV
(10) Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

If we DO what He says, then we shall LIVE in them….an “eternal life” in the here and now.

Leviticus 18:5 KJV
(5) Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

We are to walk in HIS ways. Keeping His statutes and commandments shall lengthen our days…..

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

In keeping them, they shall add to us length of days, long life and peace…..

Proverbs 3:1-2 KJV
(1) My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
(2) For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

The just shall LIVE by faith. Faith is DOING His commandments. If we do NOT walk in HIS ways, then faith without HIS “works” is dead. This is not about our so-called “works of righteousness” which are done in the ignorance of following religious-sounding men’s commandments .

James 2:17-24 KJV
(17) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
(18) Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
(19) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
(20) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
(21) Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

By “works” is faith made perfect. But, these “works” are not our own….these are God’s “works”.

(22) Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
(23) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
(24) Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

For Jesus worked the “works” of God that sent him. In the “night”….in the ignorance of religious man’s works, no man “works” the works of God.

John 9:4 KJV
(4) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

The “night” is far spent and the Day is at hand….so let us cast off the “works of darkness” that religious men are participating in. Let us put on the armor of Light ….by doing HIS works and NOT religious man’ works.

Romans 13:12-13 KJV
(12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Religious man’s works are based on the hidden covetousness of men’s hearts. Their deceptive fair speeches and fine-sounding words are only for a cover of their covetousness. Inside, they are “drunken” with covetousness and pride. They harbor envy and strife and all of those who are joined to them are participating in the “rioting and drunkenness” of their gatherings.

(13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

We are to come out from among them. We are to depart from the power of darkness and go into the glorious Light of the Father and Son. We are to be the children of the Light….the children of the Day and not of the “night” nor of “darkness”.

1 Thessalonians 5:5 KJV
(5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Jesus worked the works of the Father…..

John 5:17 KJV
(17) But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

The Son can do nothing of himself but only those works which he sees the Father do….

John 5:19-21 KJV
(19) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
(20) For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
(21) For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

Believing is working the works of God and not our own.

John 6:28-35 KJV
(28) Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
(29) Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
(30) They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
(31) Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
(32) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
(33) For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
(34) Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
(35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

This is the “work of God” that we believe on him who He sent. The words of Jesus are LIFE and spirit. DOING them is the source of a long life.

John 13:34-35 KJV
(34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
(35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

The hour is coming and now is when the “dead” shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who shall hear shall LIVE…..an “eternal life” in the here and now.

John 5:25-30 KJV
(25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
(26) For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
(27) And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

All that are in the “graves” of religious man’s dead works shall hear His voice…..

(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

….and they shall come forth for that is what is COMMANDED of us.

We must COME FORTH from among them who are “living” in error. We must come forth from among those who will not believe in the voice of the Son of God when they will hear it. We are to come forth from the company of those who are perishing in men’s commandments and teachings and DO GOOD….the works of God. By well-doing, we take hold of “eternal life” in the here and now. He keeps us alive and remaining….standing up.

God will exalt us if we humble ourselves to His Word of Truth.

(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

But some shall stand up in their religious pride to vilify what they will hear and so be judged. As He hears, He will judge and His judgment is just.

(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.


continued in next post...

....continued from previous post.





We are COMMANDED to come forth from the “grave” of religious men whose teachings and commandments are works of darkness and lead many to perish off the face of the earth. No flesh is being preserved in the here and now by keeping company with them.

2 Thessalonians 3:4-9 KJV
(4) And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

We are to have love for one another. The Lord shall direct our hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting for Christ as we shall have “eternal life”. We have LIFE as we wait…and this LIFE is the gift of God… “eternal life”.

(5) And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

We are COMMANDED to withdraw ourselves from every brother that walks “disorderly”. Religious men are living in riotous, covetous ways and thoughts …..envying and strife. Where there is envying and strife, there is confusion and every evil work….works of darkness.

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

Many denominations have had long “lives” so to speak. Their works and commandments have been perpetuated by men’s words…their teachings of ignorance…over many generations of men.

Though their organizations and teachings have been standing for such a long time, NONE of their past “fathers”, teachers and adherents are still here with us today. There is something very wrong with this picture.

Many have fallen for the “strange woman”….the flattering tongues of religious-sounding men who steal THE life from those who listen to them. She is “loud and stubborn” and her feet abide not in her house…..for they do NOT do what was commanded of them…. to stay at “home” in the Lord. Those who ABIDE in the doctrine of Christ….to have love for one another…shall ABIDE in the here and now and not live a perishing life like the rest of the world.

Proverbs 7:10-12 KJV
(10) And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
(11) (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
(12) Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)

Those who go after “her” immediately are led astray from having love for each other and so THE life is taken from them. They participate in their teachings and commandments of men. They attach themselves to a dead body whose works are dead. Those who touch…or are attached to… a “dead body” or a “grave” is unclean. We must come out from among them so that He may receive us.

Proverbs 7:22-27 KJV
(22) He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Such is the deceptiveness of religious man’s organizations of envy and strife….that many who go after them know not that it is for the taking of THE life that God promised us.

MANY have gone through the wide gate and the broad way to destruction….decay and death of the body as others. Their works are works of darkness…. “dead” works. We have been the children of wrath just like the rest of the world and not living THE life.

(23) Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
(24) Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
(25) Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
(26) For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
(27) Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

But by His grace are we “saved”. We are called out from among them. We are COMMANDED to come forth from the “graves” of religious men. We are to have our consciences purged from the “dead works” of religious men in which many have are perishing so that we may serve the LIVING God. By the blood of Christ are we cleansed from these “works”.

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?

We are to lay down our religious lives to live together in love and peace. We are to have love for one another…..doing the basics of the doctrine of Christ and so we can move forward unto the “greater works “ of God. We are to repent from the “dead works” of religious men and DO the works of God…going on to perfection.

Hebrews 6:1-3 KJV
(1) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
(2) Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
(3) And this will we do, if God permit.

He that believes on Jesus will do the “works” that he does…..laying down our “lives” and HAVING LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. THEN, we shall be able to do the “greater works” of God. We can teach His Word to others thereby “waking” them up also to LIFE. We speak His words of THE life so that others may also LIVE.

John 14:12-21 KJV
(12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
(13) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
(14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

If we love Him, we keep His commandments.

(15) If ye love me, keep my commandments.
(16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
(17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
(18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

We shall “see” Him ….for as He LIVES we shall LIVE also. We make His Word “flesh” by DOING what He says…and so we ABIDE “for ever”…that is, to the age. The flesh of men pass away but the Word ABIDES….so we must do His Word to abide.

We shall have the gift of “eternal life” in the here and now….and we shall remain alive unto His coming. He makes His abode within our earthly tabernacle of flesh which shall continue to stand unto His coming…when the entire earth shall be filled with His knowledge.

This current world….this current order of things…. and its adherents will not live to see this for they shall pass away perishing in their sins and rebellion against the Truth. The “world” shall see Him no more for it will pass away but we shall see Him for we shall LIVE THE LIFE.

(19) Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
(20) At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
(21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

To be continued…

His words of LIFE and spirit shall not pass away….and those who will DO them shall also not pass away.

Luke 21:33 KJV
(33) Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

This world (this current order of things) shall pass away and the lust thereof….but he the DOES the will of God shall ABIDE to the age. IF we keep His words of LIFE and spirit, we shall ABIDE in the here and now.

1 John 2:17-20 KJV
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Yet, there will be some in the churches that will hear but will NOT believe. They shall oppose…contradict…vilify..what they will hear. They will stand up in their pride to defend their own religious thoughts and ways. They will be a defender of religious man’s point of view and will vilify those who will escape from their falsehoods. They shall not show any love to those who will speak and do His Truth and will forbid the speaking of the Truth to their congregations and so fill their sins to the full. They will seek to keep others from the Truth with their great, swelling words of vanity. They will seek to keep others from the Truth by covetous words appealing to the flesh.

We will know that it is the “last time” when they come to the full measure of their opposition. Their sins shall be filled to the full measure as many will join them in their speaking evil of the Way of Truth and will speak of us as evil doers.

(18) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

If they had been of us….having love for one another….they would have “continued” with us. They would stay with us to the age. They would abide with us to the age. They would have “eternal life” with us to the age. But they will perish in their sins and trespasses. They will be “manifest” that they were not all of us in the Day of Judgment.

(19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
(20) But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, their hearts shall be fully set to do evil. Our Lord’s patience is our salvation and He is not willing that any perish but come to repentance.

Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 KJV
(11) Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
(12) Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:

But it will not be well with the wicked…neither shall he prolong his days which are a shadow. There is no “eternal life” abiding in those who will hate their brothers who do receive the Truth and are saved.

(13) But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

After a brief time of their persecution, we shall look for them but not find them any longer. The religious “wise” and their “wisdom” shall perish from this earth.



The preaching of the cross…..to withhold the tongue from evil….shall seem like foolishness to them as they will NOT refrain from their vilification of the Truth and of those who do it and speak it. Their judgment is not immediate and so their hearts shall be filled with evil as they speak evil things. How will they escape the judgment of the Gehenna....the mouth that speaks all kinds of evil? the tongue is a fire and sets the whole course of nature on fire.


1 Corinthians 1:18-21 KJV
(18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perishfoolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
(19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
(20) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
(21) For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Our eyes shall see the King in His beauty. We shall behold the “land” that is very far off….for we shall have “eternal life” so that we may “continue” in the here and now to see the entire earth be filled with His knowledge and glory. We shall be co-workers with God to recreate this earth with His knowledge in Christ Jesus. We shall preach the good news of the kingdom unto all nations….for the kingdoms of this world shall become His.

Isaiah 33:17-19 KJV
(17) Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

We shall ponder the past “terror” of the religious “wise”.

(18) Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

And we shall not see them any longer. Their fierceness will no longer be. Their persecution shall come to an end. A “stammering” tongue = a deriding tongue which has no understanding in it shall no longer be with us. They will not “continue” with us.

(19) Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

The “heavens” are the airways that our communications passes through to our ears. “Heaven” is the medium in which words fly…and there are many high and mighty voices now occupying that space. Many follow that power of the air. Many “walk” according to the age of this current order of things…..according to the “course of this world.” Many are deceived by the voices of this age.

Ephesians 2:2-3 KJV
(2) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
(3) Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

The current “earth” is the hearts of men who harbor bitter envying and strife ….a place where there is confusion and every evil work. This kind of wisdom comes from below in the heart where all kinds of evil exists. It is “earthly”.

The religious organizations and works of men are built upon that earthly wisdom of the heart as they speak what is in the hearts into the airways (heaven) and deceive others into following them. They lead others away from having love for one another with their words of hypocrisy as they appear righteous on the outside but inwardly are full of iniquity.

James 3:13-16 KJV
(13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
(14) But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
(15) This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
(16) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

We are to deaden our members….our tongues…which speak that which is in the heart (upon the “earth”). What is upon the “earth”…the earthly hearts of men? Covetousness, wrath, envying, strife, hatred, etc. Those who “dwell on the earth” are those who speak words that are brought to birth of the bad things existing in the heart. Many cover over what is in the heart by flattering, deceptive words and so lead many astray.

Colossians 3:5-8 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
(7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

But the current “heaven”….the current speaking of man in his own earthly wisdom… shall vanish away like smoke. Man’s earthly education, his carnal reasoning, his fine-sounding deceptive speeches, his hypocrisy, his wrath, his falsehoods, his vilifying, etc….shall all pass away in anger.

The earth shall wax old like a garment and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner. Those who will dwell upon the evil in their hearts shall pass away. All of the works of men shall pass away. They shall be judged according to men in the flesh.


Isaiah 51:6-8 KJV
(6) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

But His righteousness shall NOT be abolished. It shall not pass away.



Those who know His righteousness…..in whose hearts is His law (to have love for one another), are not to fear the reproach of those who will “dwell” upon the earth….the evil heart. We are not to be afraid of their reviling…for are to expect that those who will live godly in Jesus shall be persecuted by the religious “wise”.

(7) Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

But consider the outcome. We shall discern the difference between those who follow God and those who do not.

His righteousness shall be “forever”….and so those will DO His righteousness shall also be “forever”. They will not pass away as those who “dwell upon the earth” …who dwell upon the evil of their hearts.

(8) For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

Our Lord’s patience is our salvation. He is longsuffering toward us…..not willing that any perish but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9-14 KJV
(9) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

But the time is coming when the “heavens” shall pass away with a “great noise”….for men shall be speaking evil in their wrath. They will roar like the sea in their opposition to the Truth and against those who will escape from them. And they will be judged according to their words in the Day of Judgment.

(10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

But we are to continue in His righteousness and not be afraid of their reproaches and reviling.

(11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

The “heavens” shall be on “fire”….the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God. Their persecution shall be fierce but they shall pass away in their sins and plagues. But they shall be “dissolved”.

(12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

But, this tribulation will be only for a little while…. for we are looking forward to the “promised land”…..looking for new “heavens” and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness only.

(13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

We are not to render evil for their evil when they will persecute us…. but in diligent well-doing we are to be found of Him in peace, without spot and blameless. We are looking forward to the “promised land”….the coming Age wherein righteousness shall dwell upon the whole face of the earth.

(14) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

To be continued….

The flattering, deceptive tongues of men….Babylon…shall be spoiled for their wrath shall overflow from their hearts to their mouths and they will speak out in evil against the Truth. They will not speak nice-sounding, flattering things for those things shall disappear as they will instead rail upon those who will escape from them and their falsehoods.

Jeremiah 51:54-55 KJV
(54) A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
(55) Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

The “heavens” shall be on “fire”…for the tongue is a “fire” …a world of evil…and it shall “burn” up those who will misuse it in the Day of Judgment.

For EVERY idle word that men shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in the Day of Judgment.

Matthew 12:34-37 KJV
(34) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
(35) A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
(36) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
(37) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

We must come out from among the unbelievers of the churches. We are to no longer partake with them in their feasts of envy, strife and hatred of one another. We are not to participate with them in their coming vilification of the Truth and so share in their sins and plagues.

The same day that Lot went out of Sodom it “rained fire and brimstone from heaven”. Likewise, men shall speak evil of those who will be escaping from them...the fire from "heaven".



They will be judged according to their own words….which shall destroy them all…for what comes out of the mouth shall judge them. It shall “rain fire and brimstone from heaven”….as they will speak evil with their tongues of “fire”. The air around us shall be filled with evil speaking and false accusations. Yet, we are not to look back. We are not to return evil for their evil.


Luke 17:28-30 KJV
(28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
(29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The Greek word for “brimstone” is “theion” which comes from the word “theios” which means “godlike, divine”.



The “brimstone” is the strong delusion that is sent to those who will vilify the Truth. They will perish because they will NOT receive the love of the Truth so that they might be “saved”….preserved in the here and now.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 KJV
(10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

They will not believe in the Truth and will take pleasure in unrighteousness….speaking evil of others....judging us as "evil doers".

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

The “lie”: that they will be doing God service by speaking evil of the Truth and of those who will do the Truth. Whosoever will “kill” you with the evil that will come out of their mouth will think that they are doing God service.

John 16:2-3 KJV
(2) They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
(3) And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

They will see themselves as “gods”….JUDGES…. (brimstone = godlike, divine) as they will speak evil of you as an evil doer (the “fire”). “gods” = elohim = JUDGES.



They will think that they will have “peace and safety” (ye shall not surely die) to judge others (ye shall be as gods) as “evil doers” since they will “know” what is good and evil.

Genesis 3:4-5 KJV
(4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
(5) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Those who will speak evil of his brother because of the Truth shall see themselves as “gods”….JUDGES….as though they themselves know what is good and evil.



They will speak evil of us as “evil doers” for departing from their company for the sake of Jesus. They will NOT be a doer of the Law….which is to have love for one another.

James 4:11-12 KJV
(11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

One can NOT eat from the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil and live. One can not bless God and curse men with the same mouth. Men are as trees. One can NOT think that he is doing God service as a JUDGE…as a “god”....blessing God….as he curses men for being “evil doers”.

James 3:9-13 KJV
(9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

We are not doing God service by cursing men which are made after the similitude of God. Men are as trees….what kind of fruit will our tongues bear at the most crucial time that is coming?

(10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
(11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
(12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
(13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Like Lot, when we will depart from their company, “fire and brimstone” shall rain down from heaven as they will be behaving in an ungodly manner against you and will think that that are justified for doing so…doing God service....the "brimstone".

To be continued….

We know how to have love for others. It is already in our mouths and in our hearts to do so. All we have to do is BELIEVE in its power….the power of God. God is love.

Romans 10:8-11 KJV
(8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

If we BELIEVE in the heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead and we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, we shall be “saved”….preserved in the here and now. He shall give life to our mortal bodies so that we not perish from off the face of the earth as the rest of the world does. All are “dead” even while living here….for all are perishing in a relatively short period of time because of sin.

How do we “confess” Him as Lord? By refraining our tongues from speaking evil and deceit. We confess continuously by our consistent well-doing. He IS LORD over our lips . He is LORD over our tongues and the words that come out of our mouths. He IS LORD over our thoughts and ways…..over our words.

(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

With the mouth confession is made unto salvation….for we continuously watch what comes out of our mouths as He is LORD over us. We are to actively confess with our mouths at all times by careful consideration of what words come out of our mouths. .

(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The Lord shall render to every man according to his deeds. To them who by PATIENT CONTINUANCE in WELL DOING seek for glory, honor, “immortality” ….so that the mortal body does not decay.

Our Lord has shown us the WAY out of this decaying life/body of sin. HE is the Truth, the Way and THE life. He abolished death. He rendered it useless. We have to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. We have to DO His command though: have love for one another.

Those who patiently continue to do well seek the “eternal life”….THE life to the Age. “Eternal life” is all of these things: glory, honor, undecaying….as He keeps us strong.

Romans 2:6-8 KJV
(6) Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
(7) To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

But some in our assemblies will hear the Truth but NOT and obey it. Instead, they will choose to be contentious with it and will “obey” unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

(8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

They will NOT confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus for they shall say “with our tongue we will prevail…..our lips are our own….WHO IS LORD OVER US?” They will NOT confess that Jesus is LORD over their mouths.

The unbelievers will continue to use their “flattering lips” to deceive the simple. The unbelievers will speak proud things in defiance of the Truth.

Psalms 12:1-8 KJV
(1) To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
(2) They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
(3) The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
(4) Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

And they will “persecute” those who do confess that Jesus is Lord.

(5) For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
(6) The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
(7) Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(8) The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

They will persecute those who will believe through “manifold temptations”.

1 Peter 1:6-7 KJV
(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

Our faith shall be “tried with fire”. But in the end, praise, honor and glory shall be found at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Their temptations will be the words that they will fire at us: speaking against us as evil doers.

They will “war” against our souls….the thoughts and intents of our hearts. They will seek to find evil in us with their evil railings….tempting us, trying our faith. They will weary themselves to “find the door”….seeking to get us to respond evil for evil. We are to abstain from the urges to render evil for evil…threatening for threatening….railing for railing. We are to have faith and maintain “good works” in the “fire” of false accusations.

1 Peter 2:11-12 KJV
(11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
(12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Our souls shall be delivered from this war. Our souls shall be saved from the persecutions of men. We shall receive the “end of our faith”….even the salvation of our souls from the persecutions.

1 Peter 1:9 KJV
(9) Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

He shall preserve our mortal bodies in the here and now as they will war against our souls.

But we are to “pass the time”of our sojourning here in fear…for we are made “strangers and pilgrims” in this world as we continue to live to the next age. TIME IS NOW ON OUR SIDE for Jesus has rendered death idle…useless ….to those who believe and confess continually that He is Lord over their mouths.

1 Peter 1:17 KJV
(17) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

TIME IS NOW ON OUR SIDE…and we are to no longer live the REST OF OUR TIME in the flesh to the lusts of religious men in high places.

1 Peter 4:1-4 KJV
(1) Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
(2) That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
(3) For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
(4) Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

The rich of this world are to lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the TIME TO COME….so that they may take hold of “eternal life”.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 KJV
(17) Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
(18) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
(19) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

To be continued….

Our Lord has come so that we might have life. “immortality” …a mortal body that does not decay but remains strong to the end. He has come so that we might have it more abundantly….glory and honor in the coming age as He will raise up those who humble themselves.

John 10:10 KJV
(10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

If we believe and DO His words of life and spirit, we shall have “eternal life”….the LIFE in the here and now that will last to the coming Age when this earth shall be filled with His knowledge. IF we can humble ourselves to the Truth, then He will raise us up at the “last day”….that is, exalt us in His glory and honor.

John 6:53-58 KJV
(53) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
(54) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
(55) For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
(56) He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

As the LIVING Father has sent him and he LIVES by the Father, so he that “eats” of him shall also LIVE by him in the here and now….to the Age.

(57) As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

He that continues to eat of this “bread” from heaven, shall LIVE in the here and now to the Age and He will exalt us in glory and honor with Him in due time. We are to have patience and wait for the Lord.

(58) This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

We shall be persecuted for our faith in Him by the unbelievers of the “churches”….the “baptism of fire”. But we are to humble ourselves….suffering with Him so that we may be co-heirs in due time with Him in His glory and honor. The judgment must begin at the house of God.

1 Peter 4:16-19 KJV
(16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
(17) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
(18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

We shall be persecuted by those who will hate us. We are to follow in His footsteps for Jesus was also persecuted by his very own.

We are to suffer according to the will of God and commit to the KEEPING OF OUR SOULS to Him in WELL DOING. As we shall be persecuted (baptism of fire) for our faith….for the Word of Truth…for Jesus’ sake…for the gospel’s sake, we are to not render evil for evil to any man. The “fire” of insults and false accusations shall not harm us in any way if we do commit ourselves to continued well-doing.

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

If we shall suffer with Him in this “present time”, we shall also be glorified together with Him in the Age to come. He gives us “eternal life”….THE life to the Age to come when we shall be exalted…glorified together with Him.

Romans 8:16-18 KJV
(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.

We are instructed as Daniel was instructed….

Daniel 12:12-13 KJV
(12) Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
(13) But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

We are to go in the Way of righteousness….committing to keeping our souls to Him in well-doing. We go in the Way of righteousness to the end of this present time of suffering. We shall “rest” in the safety of the Lord as we go our “way”…for we are strangers and pilgrims who are looking for Him to put an end to the persecutions and come to this world in His fullness. And at the end of days, we shall “stand in our lot”….for when we have suffered with Him, He shall raise us up at the last day in His glory and honor.

To be continued…

The Lord will send forth His messengers to the churches to preach deliverance to the “captives”. Will they know the day of their visitation?

Luke 4:18-19 KJV
(18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
(19) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Many are “prisoners” …..captivated by every wind of doctrine that is taught by men who lie in wait for their very lives.

He shall send forth His messengers to gather His elect from the 4 winds….EVERY wind of doctrine….from the 4 “quaternions of soldiers” that keep them in their prisons. Like Peter, many have been imprisoned by “Herod”….by Satan and his ministers who pose as ministers of “righteousness” and have been heroic over the people.

Acts 12:4-11 KJV
(4) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

And so many are kept in “prison”…by falsehoods….by men teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

(5) Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Many are “sleeping” between 2 “soldiers”…..DEATH AND HADES. They are abiding in “death”…hatred of one another….. and are in a place where there is no wisdom of God, no knowledge of the good, no righteous works, no sight to the eyes of their understanding…Hades. They are bound by 2 “chains”…..envy and strife….works of darkness. The “keepers” of the prison are the commandments of men that are reinforced upon them by the teachings of their leaders who keep them in their fear of death.

(6) And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

But our Lord sends His messengers to gather His elect from the 4 winds….the 4 quaternions of the soldiers….from EVERY (4 directions) wind of doctrine that has tossed His people to and fro. The Light of the knowledge of God shall shine in the “prison” and will “wake up” many. Many shall believe and will arise quickly out of their “sleep” and will cast off the works of darkness….the “chains” will fall from their hands so to speak.

(7) And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

They will awake from their sleep and put on the new man that is created in holiness. They will awake to righteousness. They will follow Him out of their “prisons” that religious men had put them in with their falsehoods. They will put on love, meekness, peace, kindness, long suffering, the armor of God…and will follow Him out.

(8) And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

They will follow Him….from faith to faith. The more we hear and understand as we follow Him…the stronger our faith becomes. We follow Him out of our “churches” of prison….for we have no continuing city there.

(9) And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

The “first and second ward” are the greatest 2 commandments that we are to “pass”….complete…so that we may enter into the city.We may enter through the narrow gate that leads to life...."eternal life".


(10) When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

Blessed are those who DO His commandments…..the “first and second ward”. For they may have the right upon the tree of life and may ENTER in through the gates into the city. The “iron gate” that leads into the city shall open to them of his own accord. We enter into the kingdom of God….wherein we are citizens together in righteousness…in peace…in the protection of the Lord.

Revelation 22:14-17 KJV
(14) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(15) For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.





The Lord sends His messenger to testify unto His people these things in the churches. He is that Light….the “bright and morning star” that shines in the “darkness” of the prison….the ignorance of religious-sounding men.

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

Let him that hears say “come”….receiving what will be said. Let him that hears… receive the messengers of the Lord with all kindness. Entertain the words of “strangers”…for they just might be the messengers of God. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely.

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

And when we depart from the prisons of religious men, we shall “come to ourselves”…and believe that it was the Lord who had sent His “angel”…His messenger… who spoke with the Light of the knowledge of God. It is the Lord who will deliver us from the “hand of Herod”….Satan and His messengers and from all of the expectation of the people who call themselves “Jews” (inwardly) but are really of the synagogue….assembly….of Satan.

(11) And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.


The gate shall open up upon his own accord if we fear God and keep His commandments.....passing the first and second ward...the greatest 2 commandments.



Matthew 7:14 KJV
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.



To be continued…
