His presence....

Peace to those who may read.

The PRESENCE (“coming”) of the Son of man who is in Heaven is quite evident to us personally when we hear His words spoken in the Spirit of Truth (the living waters) as the Light shines within our very own darkened hearts….as the morning star (the sun) that arises in the darkness of the early dawn. The Son of God comes to give us an understanding as He opens up the Scriptures to our understanding.

2 Peter 1:
(19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

We shall know within our very own hearts that this is His Son speaking versus the false prophets and false Christs that do not have this effect upon our hearts when they “preach” to us.

All false prophets have are “signs and wonders” to show us….in order to deceive us into going to their churches where we pay them money. They are not spiritually feeding anyone but "crumbs" while they are literally feeding themselves with their earthly needs getting met by the pay they receive from flock of God that they are supposed to be feeding.

Their “wonders” are their “great swelling words” that they use to flatter us with. They are gifted speakers and are charismatic in their use of the mouth and use their tongue to deceive.
Their mouth speaks feigned words…their great swelling words…. having persons in “admiration” (Greek “thaumazō”: WONDERS) because of advantage….that is, their own profit, usefulness. Their “wonders” are the great swelling words of emptiness that seduce and deceive many into going to their churches as many “admire” their use of the words that they use to flatter them.

Jude 1:16 KJV
(16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Their “signs” are outward carnal commandments of men that they are performing in order to bewitch us into going to their churches. They profess that these things that they show us are “outward signs of inward” things and seek to fascinate us with their performance of them.

They say then: “behold, He is now in the inner chamber” with their outward signs that they are performing on people. Outward signs that they perform of supposed inward things within us is all they have. Yet, their outward signs are powerful enough to almost deceive the very elect.

Matthew 24:24-26 KJV
(24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
(25) Behold, I have told you before.
(26) Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

Who do we go out to see in the desert if they are NOT the Christ?

Those who are in the "desert" are not the Christ (yet they say they are). they“bewitch” us as they portray a representation of His crucification before our very literal eyes. They graphically portray Jesus Christ crucified before our very eyes with their performance of their outward “sign” of supposed inward things.

Galatians 3:1-3 KJV
(1) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Having received the Spirit by the hearing of faith are we then made complete by the performance of a carnal commandment shown by those who seek to fascinate us with their graphic picture…their outward signs…performed before our very eyes?

(2) This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
(3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

They say they are sent by Christ….but Christ did not send Paul to perform an outward sign but to preach the good news by which those who hear in faith receive the Spirit…the anointing.

1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV
(17) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

All of the false Christs and false prophets only have outward signs of supposed inward realities and use their feigned words for people’s “wonders”.

Yet, the presence of the Son of man is MUCH more evident to us personally….within our very own hearts.

The “lightning” of the Son ….the flash of light of the sun in the dawn of the early morning….issues out of the “east” (the rising of light within our own hearts) and shines even unto the “west” (where the sun has set…that is, in the darkness where the sun had previously “sunk” down). The morning sun rises out of the east and shines its light towards the west where it had previously went down and darkness followed its setting.

His "coming" = His PRESENCE.

Matthew 24:27 KJV
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

When we hear His voice as He opens up the Scriptures to our understanding, we know that it is the Son’s voice as the Light shines in a dark place….the heart. The Day dawns….in our heart…and the “day star” (the bright and MORNING STAR) arises…in our heart.

We are to know that this is the Son of God and we are to “HEAR HIM” as He speaks to us.

2 Peter 1:18-21 KJV
(18) And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
(19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

The “private interpretation” of men preaching for money does not have this effect on our hearts.

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

Men of God spoke in old time as they are moved by the Holy Spirit….and they still do….and we are to take heed on how we hear.

(21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

We have a more sure word today within our very own hearts: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him” as the light of His presence shines out of the darkness of our very own hearts when we hear His voice.

Matthew 17:5 KJV
(5) While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

The witness of God about His Son speaking to us is WITHIN us as the “bright and morning star” arises in our darkened hearts when we hear the voice of the Son. Even though we receive the witness of men who speak as they are moved by the Holy Spirit, the witness of God within us is GREATER. God testifies within us that this is His Son speaking as His Light arises in our dark hearts.

1 John 5:9-12 KJV
(9) If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
(10) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
(11) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
(12) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

He sends His messenger (“angel”) to testify unto these things in the churches….and we are to hear those men of God (His messengers) sent by Him to speak His living words to our ears (those of the church….the called out). They speak as they are moved by the Holy Spirit…and we are to take heed on how we hear.

He is the “bright and morning star” that arises in our very own hearts when we hear His words.
It is the sign of His presence….the sign of the Son of man who is in Heaven…. when we hear His voice and we know that He is very near.

We are to hear His living words in the Spirit and take FREELY of the water of life. This is very different then the false apostles (the falsely sent “messengers”) who are only preaching for a paycheck. They ALWAYS charge for preaching the gospel and don’t do it FREELY. Those who are falsely sent (yet they say they are sent by Him) do not FREELY GIVE as they have freely received. The messenger TESTIFIES and does not come to perform outward signs.

Revelation 22:16-17 KJV
(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.
(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.

The living words of our Lord (as the Spirit speaks) that we hear are the “waters” that we are to come and drink of….being filled with what the Spirit is saying. Let us be filled with the Spirit and not be found “drunk” on the wine of wrath towards what we hear the Spirit saying. Let us not be found resisting the Spirit in our contentions, envy and strife.

Isaiah 55:1-3 KJV
(1) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why go to “church” and spend your hard earned money on what does not satisfy as those who “preach” deceitfully are not preaching the Word of Truth but only the word of men that is not saving the flesh of anyone? They do this to get paid only and are only minding their earthly necessities: what to eat, what to drink, and what to wear. Why serve them in their "kingdoms"?

There is a great famine within their gatherings as the Word of Truth is not being heard. They serve for their own belly rather than our Lord Jesus Christ who told us to “freely give as we have freely received”.

Let us hear and eat they which is good and let our soul REJOICE in what we hear…delighting in the fatness of what we hear. It is good spiritual food indeed.

(2) Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

We are to come and “incline our ear” to hear. We are to come unto Him and HEAR and our soul shall live…..that is, we shall REJOICE in what we hear. We are to be quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to wrath towards the hearing of His voice so that we may enter in to the JOY OF THE LORD.

(3) Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

If the good news is hid, it is hid to those who are “lost”…that is, perishing away from this earth. They perish because they have no knowledge as the “god” (the belly) of this age blinds their minds of them that really do not believe.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

They do not really come in the name of Christ (even though they do come to us and say they are). They do not come in His authority and are only “preaching themselves” in their own authority as kings and not servants.

(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

But if one comes along in the authority of Christ Jesus the Lord speaking His living words, then you shall know as the Light shines out of the darkness of our very own hearts and gives us the Light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The Lord comes to give us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

The invisible things of God (His eternal power and divine nature) are clearly seen by mankind in the visible creation. He manifests His invisible attributes in the visible universe that we can readily see with our literal eyes and be in awe of God.

Romans 1:19-21 KJV
(19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
(20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

But the earth became without form and void as men became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart (singular as ALL have turned away) was darkened. There is none that does righteousness. There is none that truly understands as all have turned away after their own way.

(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

He manifests His invisible attributes from the beginning of the creation in the visible creation. They are clearly seen.

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

But the earth BECAME without form (without righteousness….as there is NONE that is righteous) and void (void of His knowledge as none understands). The darkness was upon the face of the deep as man’s foolish heart was darkened.

But God in His abundant mercy sends His Son to give us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. His messengers….men of God…speak as they are moved by the Spirit (and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters). His voice is like the voice of many waters speaking as He interprets the Scriptures….the written words of all of the biblical saints. He sends His messengers out to speak His living words to us….and we are to be more ready to hear rather than speak.

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

When we hear His voice in the Spirit, the Light shines within our very own once-darkened hearts…..and we know that this is His Son speaking because of this and we are to “HEAR HIM”.

Let there be Light.....and there was light. We are to respond to the Light within our hearts WITH light…..becoming children of light.

There is NO DARKNESS in the light as we cast away the works of darkness (the envy, the strife, the hatred, the contentions) when we hear His voice speaking to us. We are to respond to the Light within our hearts with light…with His righteousness. The wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God. Let us respond to the Light within us with light…with His righteousness.

(3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

We are to be children of the Day and not of the “night” of the people who will refuse to “awake” to His righteousness at the hearing of His voice in the Spirit.

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

And the “evening and the morning” were the first day. This describes the condition of our darkened hearts (the evening) when we hear His voice and the bright and morning star arises within our hearts (the “morning”). The Light shall progressively get brighter and brighter until there is no more “evening” within our hearts as His Light shall shine as the light of 7 days.

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

The “evening and the morning”: The Light shines in a dark place (in the “evening”) until the day dawn (the “morning”) when the day star…..the bright and morning Star (Christ)….arises in our hearts when we hear the Son’s voice speaking in the Spirit of Truth to us as He opens up the Scriptures to our understanding.

2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV
(19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

He sends His messengers out to speak His living words….the living waters. They speak as they are moved by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

(21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Again, we come to the living water to HEAR what is being said….not to get literal water baptism (the “great signs” that the false Christs and false apostles are showing us).

Isaiah 55:1-4 KJV
(1) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
(2) Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

We come to the “water” to broaden our ears and actively hear. We are to be quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to wrath as the wrath of man does NOT work the righteousness of God. HEAR and your soul shall live….as we shall rejoice in what we hear.

(3) Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
(4) Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people

We come to the living water to hear and be found putting on Christ at the hearing of His voice. We receive the Spirit by the HEARING of faith and we put on Christ…. His righteousness. We die to sin and not speak evil when we hear Him speaking. We put on Christ.

Galatians 3:26-27 KJV
(26) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
(27) For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

We are the “stars” of God as each of us has His rising star within our very own hearts. Some will seek to exalt themselves over the "stars of God" in the churches of men.

Our literal sun is a star. Let us not let the “sun go down” (the sun which is in our hearts arising in the “morning”) upon our wrath. Let us hear and overcome the wrath within our hearts so that we may enter in to understand. We are to enter in and rejoice in what we hear.

If we hear Him and are being taught by Him, let us put off the works of darkness…the envy, the strife, the contention, the seditions.

Ephesians 4:21-27 KJV
(21) If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
(22) That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Let us hear Him and be renewed in the Spirit of our mind and put on Christ and His righteousness.

(23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
(24) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
(25) Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

If we are angry at what we hear, let us sin not….that is, not speak out with evil words against what we hear His voice saying. LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN upon our wrath (the morning “sun” arising in our darkened hearts). We are to die to sin….being baptized in Him. This is not about literal water baptism….the ”great signs” that are being performed by false Christs.

(26) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
(27) Neither give place to the devil.

Let us hear His voice and die to sin…participating in His death.

John 12:32-40 KJV
(32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
(33) This he said, signifying what death he should die.
(34) The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

The Light arises….being lifted up…within our very own hearts as we hear His voice. Let us not sin but die to sin…being “baptized” in His death.

Let us respond to the Light with light….becoming children of light. While we have the Light shining within our hearts, let us BELIEVE and walk in the light.

(35) Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

The “sun” will go down in our hearts if we do not believe in the Light as Jesus (the bright and morning Star) will “depart” and be concealed from us. Let there be Light....and there was light as we believe in the Light and be children of light.

(36) While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
(37) But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

Then the darkness shall come upon us in judgment for our unbelief in what we hear Him saying. We shall not then be able to believe as judgment.

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

Then, we shall NOT be able to believe.

(39) Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
(40) He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

They will not be able to believe as they did not believe in the Light. Even what they have heard shall be taken away from their hearts lest they should believe.

Matthew 13:12 KJV
(12) For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Take heed that no man deceive you….for MANY have come in His name (supposedly in His authority) saying “I am the Christ”….I am the anointed…and shall deceive many. This is already happening as they mystery of iniquity is already at work.

Matthew 24:4-5 KJV
(4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
(5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

MANY receive these men who do not really come in His authority (but say they do) but come in their own name (authority).

John 5:41-43 KJV
(41) I receive not honour from men.
(42) But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
(43) I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

They come to cause divisions among us (church denominations) and preach things that are contrary to the doctrine which we have learned (to have love for one another). We must take note of them and avoid these men. We must depart from their churches and have nothing to do with them.

Romans 16:17-18 KJV
(17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

They say they come In His name (authority) but they do not really serve our Lord Jesus Christ. They serve their own belly instead and speak good words and fair speeches to deceive the hearts of the simple.

(18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Their presence (“coming”) is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. They show us BIG signs (i.e. literal water baptism....outward signs of inward realities) and lying wonders (speaking good words and fair speeches to deceive us). They have the ability to bring many (who have fallen asleep to His righteousness) into their church bondage where many are serving their handwriting of church dogmas….their power….which leads them to their mortal destruction from this earth.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 KJV
(9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

These men are the “son of perdition”…the son of destruction. We must not sit together with them or we are being destroyed along with them.

Jude 1:3-5 KJV
(3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Believing is DOING HIS will and not just professing it. we must be a DOER of the work and not just a hearer only. If we have been delivered from the “land of Egypt” ….from the pollutions of this world….and yet become forgetful to have love for one another, then we fall victim to these “certain men” who have crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to destruction. Their job: to capture and destroy those who do not really believe….as many fall asleep to doing His will to have love for one another

(5) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

But our Lord is merciful to us and comes to give us an understanding.

He comes to deliver us from the “prison” that many have been taken in. He preaches deliverance to the “captives” who have been taken prisoners in the many churches of men by those who are working in accordance with the working of Satan (Satan and his ministers).

The true Anointed One comes to preach the good news to the “poor”…the poor in breath as they will hear and use “little strength” against what they hear the Spirit saying. He comes to heal the brokenhearted…..as those who will hear will humble themselves. He heals those who are of a contrite and humble spirit. He comes to give those who are “blind” to the Word of Truth their “sight”…..as He comes to give us an understanding.

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.

Let us go “early in the morning” (as the first light dawns within our own hearts) to Him to HEAR as He speaks His living WORDS to our ears….His words that will not pass away. The people came “early in the morning to Him in the temple to hear Him” (Luke 21:38).

The “morning” is the early morning star arising within our very hearts…..within our once-darkened hearts. His WORDS are the focus here in Luke 21:33….and we are able to stand in confidence before the Son of man by remembering to have brotherly love for those whom He sends out to speak His words of spirit and life to our ears.

We are to be found “watching”…awake to His righteousness…. when a stranger may come at a most unexpected time of our lives to speak His words in the Spirit of Truth. Let brotherly love continue and remember to entertain “strangers” and their words.

Luke 21:33-38 KJV
(33) Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

The Son of man comes at an hour we are not expecting to speak to our hearing ears and we are to take heed to ourselves lest at ANY time our hearts be “overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness”….being drunk on the wine of wrath and eating and drinking in wickedness towards what we hear. Or He finds us overcharged in our hearts with the cares of this life so that day comes upon us unawares.

(34) And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

As a “snare”….as a trap…shall it come on all of those who “dwell on the face of the whole earth”. Those who “dwell on the earth” are not found dwelling on those things above (peace, joy, love, gentleness, kindness, patience) but are found dwelling on the earthly wisdom: envy, strife, covetousness, hatred, etc. As a trap shall that Day come upon them as they will hear His voice and be found “sleeping” to His righteousness.

(35) For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

“WATCH”…..that is, stay AWAKE to His righteousness….and “pray” always. To “pray” is to always use our words with meekness and grace….the continual sacrifice of our lips to Him. To “pray”: Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man. (Colossians 4:6).

In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so also are we in this world. Let us remember to have LOVE so that we may “stand before” the Son of man in confidence as we do His will at the hearing of His voice. Those who will do wrong before Him shall be fearful….and fear has to do with punishment for our bad behavior before Him.

(36) Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

(37) And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.

Let us go to Him “early in the morning”….at the first flash of the dawning light within our once-darkened hearts… to Him to hear Him as He teaches us.

(38) And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

“Watch”….stay awake to His righteousness….for we know not what hour our Lord does come. He comes to speak to us in the Spirit of Truth and we are to be found watching and hearing.

Matthew 24:42 KJV
(42) Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Let us awake and hear and not follow after the evil example of those who will “stay asleep” in the “night” .

The “evil servant” shall not believe in what he hears and will think that the Lord delays His coming and shall begin to smite those servants that He sends out to speak His words to their ears. He is not “watching” and will smite His servants with malicious words and will “eat and drink” in wickedness with the others who will do the same. They will take pleasure in others who will join along in their evil party of speaking evil of others sent out by Him.

Matthew 24:48-51 KJV
(48) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
(49) And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
(50) The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

They will not be able to enter in to understand. They will not be able to believe…and will not have peace as their own tongues shall bring them torment. The hypocrites say they love God but will hate those least brothers sent out by Him to speak His words to their ears.

(51) And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But HAPPY (“blessed”) is the man that will not walk with them in their evil ways but shall delight always in the law of the Lord….by doing it. He will remember to do His will especially at the hearing of His voice….the living water.

Psalms 1:1-6 KJV
(1) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water….the Holy Spirit that speaks…drinking in what he hears. He will listen to the words….being planted by the living words of the Lord…. and will bring forth fruits of righteousness in due season at the hearing of His voice. He will remember to let brotherly love continue and will produce fruits of righteousness.

(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the “wind”…the Spirit…drives away. They will not hear and belief what the Spirit says (the living water) and will act ungodly towards what they hear.

(4) The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

They shall not stand in the judgment.

(5) Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(6) For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

They will not stand in confidence before the Son of man but instead will have a fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 10:26-27 KJV
(26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

The hypocrites (those who say they love God but hate their brothers….especially those brothers who come speaking in the Spirit of Truth) shall have fear and not confidence in the Day of Judgment. Fear has torment. He that fears is not made complete in love.

1 John 4:17-21 KJV
(17) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
(18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
(19) We love him, because he first loved us.
(20) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
(21) And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Let us keep His “daily” sacrifice….ALWAYS bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus so that His eternal, heavenly life might be made manifest in our mortal body….

2 Corinthians 4:10-11 KJV
(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.

….in OUR mortal flesh.

(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.

Do not listen to those who are of the “antichrist” spirit….the instead-of-Christ spirit (even though they claim that they are the Christ).

The antichrist does NOT confess that Jesus Christ IS COMING (continuous present tense) in the flesh…..and that is in OUR mortal flesh. The “antichrist”….the deceiver (who says that they are the anointed) comes to take the keeping of His daily sacrifice out of MANY lives so that the eternal life of Jesus is never made manifest in the mortal flesh of those that they are deceiving.

2 John 1:6-7 KJV
(6) And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

We must always live according to the Spirit so that His Spirit that raised up Christ from the dead shall also make alive OUR MORTAL BODIES (the eternal life of Jesus in our mortal flesh appears) by His Spirit that dwells in us.

Romans 8:10-14 KJV
(10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

But we MUST deaden the deeds of the body through the Spirit so that our mortal bodies are made alive in this earth with His eternal life. If we continue to live after the flesh, we shall die from this earth as our mortal bodies perish.

(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.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God as they have deadened the deeds of the body through His Spirit.

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

He gives us the power to BECOME the sons of God who believe on His name. We deaden the deeds of the body (the envy, the strife, the hatred, the covetousness, etc) so that His life shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

John 1:12-17 KJV
(12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
(13) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The Word was made FLESH. We must DO His Word so that the life of Jesus appears in our mortal flesh. When He appears, we appear with Him in glory.

(14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

He that comes after me is generated/come into being (KJV translates it as “preferred”) in front of me for He was before me. The life of Jesus that existed before us appears/comes into being in our mortal flesh. The Word is made flesh as we DO His Word.

(15) John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
(16) And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
(17) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

We must “awake” to His righteousness and “let us go” from their churches for the Son of man (His appearing life in our mortal flesh) is actively being betrayed into the hands of sinners who come to take the keeping of His daily sacrifice out of our lives so that His life never appears. They do not want us to live according to the Spirit but according to their lusts and they want us to serve and worship their handwriting of church dogmas more than serving the Lord by having love for one another.

Mark 14:41-42 KJV
(41) And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(42) Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

Do not become weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap the everlasting life of Jesus if we faint not in doing well.

Galatians 6:8-9 KJV
(8) For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(9) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

We have need of patience so that after we have done the will of God, we shall receive the promise….and that promise is to receive the eternal life of Jesus in this earth (not after we “die and go to heaven” as so universally preached by those who have no understanding).

Hebrews 10:36-37 KJV
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

For yet a little while, He that IS COMING (not “shall come”) will arrive and will not tarry. The life of Jesus shall appear in our mortal flesh….receiving the promise.

(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

This is the promise that the Father has promised us: the Son’s eternal life.

1 John 2:24-26 KJV
(24) Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
(25) And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

We are to receive His eternal life in this earth if we continue to sow after the Spirit. Let us no longer listen to those who seduce us with their good words and fair speeches for they lead us down the broad way to our own mortal destruction.

(26) These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you

Those who seduce us shall continue to follow after their lusts in the carnal churches of men and shall scoff at what they hear: “where is the promise of His coming”? Where is His eternal life being made manifest in this earth? All have died since the beginning of the creation. The fathers have “fell asleep”….they died.

Yet, they are themselves perishing under the wrath of God under the current system of things where the heavens are stored with fire for our destruction. They have not labored to enter into His rest as the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against those who hold down the Truth in their unrighteousness.

2 Peter 3:3-4 KJV
(3) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
(4) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Every spirit (breath of man) that does not confess that Jesus Christ IS COMING in the flesh (our mortal flesh where His life is to appear in due season ) is not of God and is instead of the breath (spirit) of the antichrist.

1 John 4:1-6 KJV
(1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
(3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
(4) Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(5) They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

They will not hear the Word of God spoken in the Spirit of Truth but will instead continue to listen to man’s preaching of the Scriptures who preaches in the word of man with the breath (spirit) of error. .

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

Hi brother!

Thank you for pointing that out. I did not know that Matthew was the only gospel that used that word. Interesting indeed!
