Love and joy perfected, 'no longer do I call you servants'...

Also, crushing the leaven (Teaching) of Hagar.


'1 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 He who sits in the heavens SHALL LAUGH;
The Lord SHALL HOLD THEM IN DERISION.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”

7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.' Psalm 2 (NKJV)

Derision - contemptuous ridicule or mockery.

Shared from a sister...for anyone with ears to hear.

'WATCHMAN UPDATE: WARNING!
Several volcanoes on the west coast of the United States are quickly now infilling. I am crying as I write this to you all. There have been numerous volcanic ventings of steam and ash plumes being released. I am urging everyone along the west coast to please leave before the next 2 weeks is up. Warn any family members that you can. Scientists themselves have now been releasing information as well. This is not a drill!!! The findings of facts are showing large amounts of magma movement coming in off the coastal waters, where even new volcanic vents and new volcanoes have been rapidly opening up along the whole west coast. There is a rapid increase of significant seismic activity taking place, where there are so many occurring that it is no longer stopping. What is transpiring will rupture all the fault lines along the west coastline, as it caves in the buckling process. The eruptions of multiple volcanoes is expected to take place, along with the the thrust of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This can create up to a 9.2 to 10.5 or above earthquake, and an extremely large Tsunami event that simulations have suggested could be the largest ever known to mankind: 600 ft. to 1,000 ft. This will devastate all coastal regions along the Pacific rim, including Japan, China, Russia, Vancouver BC, Washington State, Oregon, California, Mexico. It will also impact the Atlantic coastal region all along the eastern coastal region of the United States. This is part of the pole reversal, as it has now reached beyond the middle sector of it. The ash fallout of multiple U.S. coastal volcanoes erupting at the same time or in a chain reaction can create what is known as a thermal nuclear winter for up to at least 1 year, and 2 years following where weather patterns can become volatile and unstable. The best place to be in the United States after the fallout "please think in terms of nuclear power plants" will be in caverns and the Ozarks. Anywhere downwind of the mid-Atlantic jetstream. Please invest in facial gas masks and filters for you and your families for at least up to 1 to 2 years in the aftermath, as air quality will be quite toxic to breathe in during this. Stock up on enough food supplies for at least 1 to 3 years. Know your evacuation route plans: think smart. San Diego bay is showing magma movement off its waters. And something many have been unaware, in these warnings I have been speaking for 2.5 years; since July, 2019, one of my contact sources has been an actual geologist, volcanologist in whom I have been running my own research through. And this source has confirmed this information. Again, not a drill!!! Heed this warning that I am bringing to you. And brothers and sisters in Christ: pray. For those who have not committed to our Father GOD through the Salvation He has provided in His Son Christ Jesus, Please come into Him now. ALSO: buy up as much water as you can for at least the first year to 2 years; invest in water purifying straws, water purifying tablets, bleach to purify water. RESEARCH WATER PURIFICATION PROCESS ONLINE. Be safe.'

I ask one question.

What would you think if I were to tell you that before long, a bowl of wrath is going to be poured out upon this world?

YHWH has been cooking something hot and destructive.

We're approaching the boiling point and soon I am fully convinced..

Uknown watchmen from around the world will be vindicated in a single hour.

Kind of like in Revelation where it talks about that great city of Babylon falling in a single hour?

'9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:

12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.

14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!

17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’

19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’

20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”

Revelations 18:9-20 (NKJV)

This was a superb article on divorce and remarriage.

It has a lot of SCRIPTURES explained with a spirit of WISDOM!

I felt led to share this as the Word of the Lord to someone who's been waiting for a real answer! Let's please God!

'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord' Colossians 3:16 (KJV)

'Don't breathe his air!' ..

Fun fact, leprosy was (also) a typology of this incurable disease known as 'sin'.

'29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.' John 1:29 (KJV)

Some transparent thoughts I've had regarding relationships in the Church.

1. Sex is a MALE need.

inappropriate contentography is ONE of the devil's counterfeits (replacements) for sex (otherwise found within a covenant relationship - Marriage).

2. Love (and attention) are FEMALE needs.

Immodest dressing is ONE of the devil's counterfeits (replacements) for love and attention (otherwise found within a covenant relationship - Marriage).

3 'Male' and 'Female' (Single) are different from 'Man' and 'Woman' (Married).

Or..'Male' and 'Female' (Scientifically/Biologically - 'Body') are different from 'Man' and 'Woman' (referring to the 'Soul/Spirit').

4. The Man is (spiritually) complete without the woman but God said 'it is not good for man to be alone' (referring to the Man's 'Body' - 'bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh')

5. The woman is not (spiritually) complete without the man's leading because 'she was taken out of Man'.

6. This pattern is how God originally intended it from the beginning.

7. Galatians 3:28 is a Scripture verse that has been terribly twisted and misappropriated by a large majority of the Church.

8. Going by this pattern, one can conclude that divorce can happen when 1 or 2 (both spouses) are not properly fulfilling their marital duties as 1 flesh.

See 'The Fall' (Genesis 3).

Biblical references:

Genesis 2:21-25, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 1:27, Genesis 5:2 (KJV).

Coronavirus?

Pestilence - a fatal epidemic disease, especially bubonic plague.

'6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, AND PESTILENCES, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.' Matthew 24:6-8 (KJV)

Faith vs. Works.

A person is not saved by their good works. Our good works are like filthy rags.

(Isaiah 64:6-7).

However, a person who has been saved does do good works but it is God who is working through them by the Holy Spirit

(Philippians 2:13, Galatians 5:22-23).

So, in this sense, faith without works is dead because if there are no good works or good fruit then there is no evidence that the Holy Spirit is working through a believer.

(James 2:14-26, Matthew 7:15-20).

This is why Jesus said, you will know them by their fruit. A person's lifestyle will reveal what they believe in.

If a person claims to be a Christian, but what they say and how they live their life doesn't bear witness of Christ or bring glory to God then Biblically...we are able to clearly evaluate whether or not a person's conversion is genuine.

(Romans 8:1-10, Luke 6:45)

Or whether they are a Christian but simply been deceived.

(2 Timothy 2:14-26)

When you're a Christian and you have a new heart and a new spirit, it's not you doing the good works but the Holy Spirit bearing witness of your conversion through the regenerate nature.

(Ezekiel 36:24-27, Hebrews 10:15-18)

On one hand, some Christians teach that your works contribute nothing to your salvation and it's true.

It's all Jesus.

On the other hand, If someone really has the spirit of Christ then they will be a completely different person because the spirit of Christ transforms a person to become Christ-like. This happens through the renewing of the mind.

(Romans 12:1-3).

Any 'Gospel' message that does not preach repentance (from sin) and transformation (metanoia - spiritual conversion/rebirth) is another Gospel (deception).

(Galatians 1:6-10)

So, we are not saved by our works but we are saved through Christ's finished work which God ordained that the Christian should walk in through genuine relationship.

(Ephesians 2:8-10)

Honestly, I appreciate the whole 'relational' aspect of being a born again child of God but it many ways, the way it is used by some Christians is a stumbling block to be deceived.

'19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.'

James 5:19-20 (KJV)

Now, James is talking to born-again believers.

Why would you address an unbeliever as your brethren?

Or, how can an unbeliever 'err from the Truth' if they have no knowledge of the truth?

They can't.

In the Scripture, it's addressing a believer who has erred from the truth..as a sinner.

The death it's speaking about is spiritual death because the Scripture says you save a soul from death by converting them from the error of their way.

When speaking about the death of the soul, you're dealing with eternal judgment.

This concept is also referenced in Proverbs.

'16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.'

Proverbs 21:16 (KJV)

I've found that 'relational' preaching and teaching is often used as a replacement for the Scriptural Laws and Principles of God.

When you attach 'relationship' to doctrine, you make it difficult for people to reconcile their mind to the truth of doctrine.

It's not either-or, it's both and.

We need the 'relational' and we need the legal to be walking in the truth.

The Prophet says in Ezekiel 33:1-20 that if a man should turn away from walking in righteousness and finish in walking the path of inquity, none of his former deeds of righteousness will be remembered.

But He would die for his iniquity.

I need to share this because it seems few want to speak the truth about the legal side of the Scriptures but it's there.

To be honest, the reason I do not listen to women preaching and teaching the Word of God is because it is not Biblical (1 Tim. 2:11-15).

And also, the reason it is not Biblical is because women are more easily deceived in matters of doctrine.

You can't be getting emotional with Scriptural legalities and eternal judgment which is what doctrine deals with.

The truth is, every one of us will give an account for what we were preaching and teaching in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul said He did not shrink from declaring to the Ephesian elders the whole counsel of God and that in this, He was pure and innocent of the blood of all men (Acts of the Apostles 20:25-32).

This is an important truth to remember. One day we have to give an account to God (Hebrews 4:13).

'The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good' Proverbs 15:13 (KJV)
