Peace in Christ.

All that are in the “graves”….the graves of the man-based churches….shall hear His voice. We shall hear Him speaking to us from heaven in the Spirit of Truth.

Joh 5:28-30 KJV

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

They that will do good will come forth from them…from the “graves” of the man-based churches.

They will do good towards what they hear Him saying in the Spirit of Truth. The Son of God comes to give us an understanding so that we know Him who is true. He opens up the Scriptures to our understanding.

Others will not come forth from their “graves.” They will remain in them and will behave badly towards what they hear Him saying. They will speak evil words in their unbelief. They will not show love towards those brothers whom He sends out to speak His words of life and spirit….the words of an age-lasting life…to them.

(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.

As hears our responses towards His voice, He judges.

(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.

For by our words (in response to the hearing of His voice) shall we be judged in the Day of Judgment.

Mat 12:35-37 KJV
(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.

For this is how the children of God are manifest….and the children of the devil: on how they will respond (doing righteousness or not….loving their brother or not).

1Jn 3:10 KJV
(10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

The children of the devil will “remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments.” They will savor the things of men….their man-based churches….and not the things of God. They will refuse to come out from among the graves....the man-based churches...and will do evil.

Isa 65:3-5 KJV
(3) A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
(4) Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

(5) Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

They will turn from the holy commandment that will be delivered to them to keep (to come out from among them and be separate) in their unbelief. They will refuse to listen. They will be the "evil and adulterous generation." They will continue to be attached to the harlot church that they are one body and one flesh with and will speak evil of any who will do His holy commandment to come out from among them.

2Co 6:17-18 KJV
(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.

They will not answer when He calls them. They will not hear when He speaks to them. Instead, they will do evil before His eyes and choose that wherein He does not delight. They will choose to remain in their man-based churches and speak evil of any who will leave them.

Isa 65:12-14 KJV
(12) Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
(13) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

(14) Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

See that you do not refuse Him that speaks from Heaven. Don't turn away from Him that speaks from Heaven in the voice of the Spirit of Truth (the chief messenger...the archangel).

Heb 12:24-25 KJV
(24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
(25) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:


Jesus said unto His disciples…His learners… if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and “take up”…that is, TAKE AWAY or take up his cross (his stake)… and follow Him.

Don’t be staked down in your “church” but take it up/away and come after Him as He leads us out of the man-based churches. Don’t be fixed. Take up the stake that has fixed you there in the man-based churches and follow Him out of them.

Mat 16:24-25
(24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up/take away his cross, and follow me.

Don’t seek to save your “church” life…their thoughts and ways. We must lose our fixed church life in order to save it. We must take up the stake that has us pegged in their churches.

(25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

As Paul showed us: we must lose it all….our religious man-based things..in order to win Christ.

Php 3:7-10 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:

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

We must be steadfast in our faith of the Word of Truth as the devil will seek whom he may devour. His “children” who remain in the man-based churches will speak evil of us…but we are not to return evil for their evil.

1Pe 5:8-11 KJV
(8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The same afflictions will be accomplished in our brothers that are in the world. They …our brothers…will hear His voice in belief and will leave their man-based churches and will go out into the world. They will also be persecuted by those they will leave behind in the man-based churches…no matter where they live in this world.

(9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

But the God of all grace…who has called us unto His age-lasting (“eternal”) glory by Christ Jesus will make us complete in Him….AFTER we have “suffered a while” by the persecutions of the people who will remain in their man-based churches and will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it.

(10) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
(11) To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Those brothers that are in the world who will suffer the “same afflictions” …the same persecutions by the man-based churches that will leave behind…are the same group addressed in James who said “to the 12 tribe which are scattered abroad.” They are "scattered abroad" because they will all have left their man-based churches and will have gone out into the world to be separate from them.

Jas 1:1-4 KJV
(1) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

Count it all joy when you fall into many temptations…for the people of the man-based churches that you will leave behind will persecute you. You will be tempted to return evil for their evil….but count it as joy for the trying of your faith works patience. We suffer with Christ when this happens. Count it all joy.

(2) My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
(3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

(4) But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If we suffer with Him (in the persecutions by the man-based churches), we shall be glorified together with Him. The sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom 8:17-18 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.

If we partake of Christ's sufferings (by enduring the persecutions we shall receive by the man-based churches,) we shall be glad with "exceeding joy" when His glory shall be revealed. His life shall be revealed in our mortal flesh...His glory shall be revealed. Don't think it is "strange" concerning that fiery trial of our faith as though some strange thing is happening to you as this is part of the process to receive His glory in this mortal body in this earth. We share in His suffering when it happens.

1Pe 4:12-14 KJV
(12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
(13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

(14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
