Which is greater? The words that benefit the pride of this life, or the words/actions that benefit eternal life? Which is genuine love?

"As the Father has Loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my Love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my Love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his Love." John 15:9-10

"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will hunger.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when ALL MEN SPEAK WELL of YOU,
for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way." (Luke 6:24-26)

"“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
the notable men of the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel comes!
Pass over to Calneh, and see,
and from there go to Hamath the great;
then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
Are you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory,
O you who put far away the day of disaster
and bring near the seat of violence?

“Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory
and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
and calves from the midst of the stall,
who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,
who drink wine in bowls
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but ARE NOT GRIEVED over the RUIN of JOSEPH!
Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.” Amos 6:1-7

"BLESSED ARE YOU when PEOPLE HATE YOU, and when THEY EXCLUDE YOU and INSULT YOU and REJECT YOUR NAME AS EVIL because of the SON OF MAN. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way." Luke 6:22-23

The Pharisaical spirit will not listen to reason. It is incapable of ethical functioning. It may be found spamming Scriptures and telling everyone that they are going to hell if they do not obey every letter of the Law of Moses. Please love it and let it know that it no longer needs to live in death as a pariah of exalted and enslaved flesh.

If you encounter this spirit, please tell them that Christ has died for their sins 2,000+ years ago and they may come out of Babylon the Great any day now. They will receive eternal life by keeping in step (humble lifestyle) of the Teachings of the Spirit (Christ and the New Testament) This has been a message of the Spirit. Blessings in Christ.

Judaizers (Galatians 1:8-9 AMP)

You simply can't gloss over the spiritual realm, when it's more important than the physical. (Galatians 6:7-10, James 1:13-18).

Demons do not care about humans, renovations or construction/re-constructions. They only respond to one thing. The presence of God. Acts 19:11-20 (The Sons of Sceva).

When you come into a new place of residence that *may* have previously been a den for demonic activity, witchcraft, idol worship, sorcery, ungodly activity, or a cult, make sure you pray, bless, and sanctify it thoroughly. I can't stress this enough. Take command over the place you live. Don't be presumptuous (1 Peter 5:8, James 4:7-10).

The evil presence(s) will not leave until you CAST IT OUT through fervent Spirit-empowered prayer. Someone who is not spiritually mature will not think to do this or notice the symptoms, but if you are sensitive to the spiritual realm, it is obvious and is of the UTMOST importance. Things that *may* happen if you do not take the proper procedures include the following:

Sleeplessness, demonic attack while trying to sleep, a heavy atmosphere, hindered ability to focus on God's presence, amplified temptation to the sin nature, hindered ability to receive God's voice, increased susceptibility to twisted/heretical understanding of God's Word, dark shadows dancing on the wall, sleep paralysis, frequent headaches, thumps in your room...etc.

Amplified flesh!? No. Amplified Spirit!! Yes!! (1 Thessalonians 5:12-22, Hebrews 5:11-14)

Throughout spiritual maturity MANY things change, PRAYER is ONE thing that does NOT. PRAY OFTEN. I am not trying to scare anyone, this is simply out of concern. Believers can STILL be attacked (out of ignorance/negligence). That is all, going to PEACEFULLY go to bed now...ZZzzzz (Philippians 4:4-9).

If you are being mentored by someone, you need to discern when it's time to leave the nest and fly with the Spirit. If you never had a nest (like me), you're already ahead of the game and have escaped the captivity of Babylon (The Sin nature) and are currently renewing your mind.

Spiritual enlightenment has very little to do with age, time, human intelligence or knowledge but everything to do with fiery devotion, complete reliance on Christ and loving commitment to His teachings (the NT).

The Spirit will teach and reveal to you things that no man can research, read, or study and it will make complete sense within God's original and undiluted Word (Genesis-Revelations).

The straight and narrow is not the easy way, but it ends up being the easy way. You might read (re-read) Pilgrims Progress (a Christian Allegory by John Bunyan, 1678). I highly recommend it.

Plot Summary very precisely outlines various obstacles in the Christian walk of faith. (Including the false guide, Mr. Worldly Wiseman, the "True Hebrew" Judaizer, still vainly seeking justification through the Mosaic Law in Babylon the Great, the land of slavery, powerful delusion, condemnation, and bondage, 2 Thessalonians 2)

"I'm going to get straight to the point and address the church/body of Christ. We are now living in the days of Noah. The Lord spoke to me and told me he's coming back soon to judge the world. We must be ready for his return and be found worthy/pleasing to him. He is coming back for a holy people without spot, or blemish. Everything written in the book of revelations will be fullfilled during our lifetime at God's appointed time. I'm just an common man with nothing special about myself, if God would speak to me than he sure will speak to you too. If you go to your quiet place and be still, seeking him in silence for his still small voice than in due time you will hear from him. I've had the privilege of seeing our Lord and he wishes for you to seek his face too, Jesus says his sheep hear his voice and they follow no other. Learn to be guided by the good shepherd. God will teach you and lead you into all truths through His Holy Spirit. Those who are lead by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Jesus did not die for you to attend church and practice religious excercises, or to be part of a certain denomination. No, Jesus died so that you would have a relationship with him, and so that you would fullfill his kingdom's plan and purpose for your life. If you follow Jesus the correct way, you will suffer, but be of good cheer and stay faithful even unto death, and your reward will be great in heaven. If you love others than once Jesus our Lord becomes real to you tell them that he's coming back soon for a holy bride without spot, or blemish. Tell them that God has gone to prepare a place with many mansions for those who overcome this life and for the ones who stay loyal even unto death, your reward will be great in heaven. Let them know that Hell was never intended for humanity but foolish people choose to put themselves in that miserable place. These lost souls are your friends, family, work mates etc. Jesus died for them too and he cares about them, let us work together as one body in Christ. Help me help you, all for God's Glory. Love you all and I hope to see many of you in heaven someday"

Jesus is coming back soon, those who walk closely with Him know He has given them a message of warning and encouragement to pass on. It is a message that is unanimous around the Global Body of Christ. His pure Bride. Nobody knows the exact day or hour.

This was my last revelation given to me. It was an Apocalyptic one and was observable by all 5 of my senses, realer than this life among the clouds (more than 3-D). I saw the black Ravens and the thunder, I saw the lightning, I felt the winds and reverberation of the air, I saw the Trumpet and the sound of the great white gilded horn as it blew judgment, and I saw a destroyed world, all the houses, cars, lampposts being swept away on a lifeless planet. Believe what you want.

We are even now living in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah.

"When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”

Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. People will tell you, ‘Look, there He is,’ or ‘Here He is.’ Do not go out or chase after them. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man: People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all." Luke 17:20-29

"“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!” John 16:32-33

Something God has taught me over the years is not to grow personal bonds or spiritual attachments to specific people, objects, philosophies, groups, cultures. I am called to stay seperate from them so I can clearly see what God has for me to see. Favoritism is worldly, unspiritual, demonic. I love everyone with the same equal burning agape love of the Father. It is not in vain that Scripture said not to be friends/friendly with the world (wickedness, evil), it renders you an enemy of God (James 4:4-5). Love the sinner, HATE the sin.

This is what enables us to discern His good, pleasing perfect will (Romans 12:1-2) It is unbiased and the judgement is just and true. God is not a respecter of persons when it comes to judgement. How would He be qualified to judge? He does not see as man sees. He sees the true nature of our hearts. NOTHING is hidden from His all-seeing eyes (2 Chronicles 16:9, Hebrews 4:12) What our hearts REALLY value. The day (of judgement) will reveal it and our work will be tested by fire (1 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 3:13).

The pride of this earthly life is passing away, it DOES NOT come from the Father of heavenly lights. Please do not be decieved. (James 1:17). He does not change like the shifting shadows, and His judgement is by His Word, not preconceived notions of mere human morality. Renew your mind. There are many who are ignorant of God, to their own shame. (1 Corinthians 15:34, Romans 10:3). Those who do know, are persecuted for speaking the Truth.

You know that no lie comes from the Truth, it is a false love that is preached from the pulpits and financially profitable to many false teachers/prophets, it is detestable. Your spirituality, and false/cozy ideologies, insatiable lust for money, power, popularity, and status will not save you. Turn to Jesus Christ. THIS is true LOVE. That we be truthful with one another. The FEAR of the LORD is NOT EVIL. God calls it GOOD. (Proverbs 1:7, Job 28:28, Proverbs 15:33, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 2:5)

The saturation of deception and lies perceived everyday, is it "GOOD" or is it GOD? False humility is an abomination. If it was true, you would not be gulping the praises of men, and growing spiritually lazy and indifferent. Was it Esau that sold the birthright for a single meal? It was Jacob that inherited the blessing for obedience, despite being the least favored.

Parables on Prayer

"Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart, saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for man. There was a [desperate] widow in that city and she kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice and legal protection from my adversary.’ For a time he would not; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will give her justice and legal protection; otherwise by continually coming she [will be an intolerable annoyance and she] will wear me out.’”

Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says! And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf? I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8

If you MUST continuously REASSURE someone of their SALVATION...are/were they LIVING in REPENTANCE? This is why FAITH without WORKS is DEAD. They are on LIFE SUPPORT. That's UNBELIEF, it means they are/were not DOING what they are/were SUPPOSED to be DOING. (James 2:14-26).

Trusting that JESUS CHRIST's GRACE is SUFFICIENT and WALKING as HE WALKED in the NEW LIFE. They are still LIVING in a LIE. SHOW them HOW.

"Therefore let us leave the ELEMENTARY doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits." (Hebrews 6:1-3)

"Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. But avoid all irreverent babble and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their teaching will spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have deviated from the truth. They claim that the resurrection has already taken place, and they undermine the faith of some. Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing.” 2 Timothy 2:15-19

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

"“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’" (Matthew 7:21-23)

"Pursue peace with all men, as well as HOLINESS, without which no one will see the Lord. Be careful that no one falls short of the grace of God, so that no root of bitterness will spring up to cause trouble and defile many. See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears." (Hebrews 12:14-17)

Test by God's UNDILUTED Word, not mere human EMOTION. ONE is man/woman OVERWHELMED.

"Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food and drink or in regard to [the observance of] a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day. Such things are only a shadow of what is to come and they have only symbolic value; but the substance [the reality of what is foreshadowed] belongs to Christ. Let no one defraud you of your prize [your freedom in Christ and your salvation] by insisting on mock humility and the worship of angels, going into detail about visions [he claims] he has seen [to justify his authority], puffed up [in conceit] by his unspiritual mind, and not holding fast to the head [of the body, Jesus Christ], from whom the entire body, supplied and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows with the growth [that can come only] from God." Colossians 2:16-19

"But avoid all irreverent babble and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their teaching will spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have deviated from the truth. They claim that the resurrection has already taken place, and they undermine the faith of some. Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing.” 2 Timothy 2:16-19

"These [false teachers] are springs without water and mists driven by a tempest, for whom is reserved the gloom of black darkness. For uttering arrogant words of vanity [pompous words disguised to sound scholarly or profound, but meaning nothing and containing no spiritual truth], they beguile and lure using lustful desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error. They promise them liberty, when they themselves are the slaves of depravity—for by whatever anyone is defeated and overcome, to that [person, thing, philosophy, or concept] he is continually enslaved." 2 Peter 2:17-19

"Personally I am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, amply filled with all [spiritual] knowledge, and competent to admonish and counsel and instruct one another." Romans 15:14

Admonish. Keep Admonishing. Be filled with Love and Joy.

Faith is not hit or miss. It is always HIT. That's the mind you must have to walk in signs, miracles, wonders. To walk in POWER. Some call it apostolic authority, I call it being a DISCIPLE of CHRIST.

Instant gratification is CARNAL. It DEMANDS a SIGN for authenticity. FLEE from SPIRITUAL LUST (the worship of the sign)

"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:19-20

When you THINK, you are already QUESTIONING your FAITH. It needs to be out of genuine LOVE for PEOPLE in the guidance of the SPIRIT.

Faith is SPIRITUAL. It ACCEPTS that God's Word is infallibly TRUE and does not BIND the GIFT to TIME limitations. It GLORIFIES the GIVER, rather than the gift.

That means preaching the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST and what His KINGDOM has in store for LOST people, so they can be FOUND.

Walk by FAITH not by SIGHT.

"A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
But humility goes before honor."

Proverbs 18:11-12

"At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. “Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand. “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.” Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

Now, the acts of Asa from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians. So Asa slept with his fathers, having died in the forty-first year of his reign. They buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him."

Ok for the past several months or so I've been sometimes hearing screams and wails in the nighttime (sometimes kids cheers) and weird music (eerie flutes/trumpets?) but there is no one around or making the noises. I recorded a bit of it...this happened even near my old place before I moved (around 3-4 A.M in a quieter place so it's not just the traffic) I found it interesting. Do you know how to interpret the times as well as the seasons? (Matthew 16:1-4)

I felt a strong CONVICTION to teach on SPIRITUAL LUST. Christ has guidelines (commandments) for miracles/signs/wonders. We need to stay GROUNDED in Scriptural TRUTH amongst all the spiritual manifestations. Miracles/signs/wonders need to follow the LOVE for the PERSON and need to represent/present REPENTANCE and SALVATION in JESUS CHRIST.

"And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18

"For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." 1 Corinthians 1:22-25

"Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake and the gospel’s will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God]. For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul? For what will a man give in exchange for his soul and eternal life [in God’s kingdom]? For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38

"And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18

"For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." 1 Corinthians 1:22-25
