Peace in Christ.
Jesus opens His mouth and speaks to us from Heaven via the Spirit of Truth sent down from there. He awakens His church from it’s sleep. We are to awake from our sleep arise from the “dead” and Christ shall give us light….His knowledge.
Eph 5:14 KJV
(14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
The Lord shall descend from Heaven IN a “shout”….IN a commandment to “ AWAKE…and ARISE” from the “dead”…being dead in trespasses and sins.
1Th 4:16 KJV
(16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
We are commanded to awake and “ARISE” and shine for our light is come…..as He will give us His heavenly knowledge if we do.
Isa 60:1 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
He opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears…..and how shall we then respond to His revealed interpretation?
Will we awake and respond with light….with His righteousness by casting off the works of darkness and putting on Christ? The works of darkness to cast off: envy, strife, wrath, etc. We seek to fulfill the lusts of the flesh when we hear and become contentious in our unbelief of what we hear.
We are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ like putting on a robe or garment. We “wear” His righteousness…His commandments…by manifesting our faith in Him with outward good works towards the hearing of His voice.
Rom 13:11-14 KJV
(11) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
(12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
(13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
(14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
We are to take heed on how we hear His voice.
It is a “hearing” thing…and our response to the hearing of His voice speaking from Heaven is how we are to be judged in the Day of Judgment. Will we refuse what His voice says to us in order to defend fleshly man’s denominational preaching/wresting of the Scriptures?
We shall hear His voice and come forth. Our deeds shall then be made manifest….and not hidden any longer in our hearts. The Lord comes to give us His light….His knowledge…and it will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will manifest the counsels of the hearts.
1Co 4:5 KJV
(5) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
We are in a “grave” when we sit together with the false prophets who are only preaching “crumbs” of the Word 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,
Either we do good towards the hearing of his voice….or we do evil. All things hidden in the heart shall be made manifest outwardly.
(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 He hears (our response to His interpretation of the Scriptures), He judges accordingly.
(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.
The children of God are manifest towards the hearing of His voice in the Day of Judgment by how they respond: they will do God’s righteousness. They will remember to let brotherly love continue.
The children of the devil will not be found doing His righteousness at the hearing of His voice from Heaven and they will not be found loving those least brothers who will be sent out by Him to speak His words of eternal life to their hearing ears.
1Jn 3:9-10 KJV
(9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
(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.
He will then separate us accordingly. He will divide those who are of the light from those who are of the darkness…..dividing the wheat from the tares….the sheep from the goats.
Again, we are not to turn away from Him that speaks from Heaven as He interprets the voices of the many biblical saints who were/are eyewitness of Him.
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 has told us to take heed on how we hear. Let him that has ears to hear, hear the Spirit.
He is up in the “mountain”….in Heaven. He is “set” in Heaven (where He sits at the right hand of God in the Judgment of man)…where He opens His mouth to teach us. His “disciples”….His learners…come unto Him to hear Him speak. They will come forth and do good.
Mat 5:1-3 KJV
(1) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
(2) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
When He opens His mouth to teach us (interpreting the Scriptures to our hearing ears), then “blessed”….happy…are those who are found (in response to the hearing of His voice) “poor in spirit”.
Those learners of Him who are found poor in spirit/ breath….poor in words….few words….in response to the hearing of His voice from Heaven will enter into the joy of what He speaks. They will be more ready to hear than to speak out.
They will be able to rejoice in what they hear Him saying. They will be able to enter into His joy as they will rejoice in the hearing of His voice. Those who are found outside in their unbelief of what He says will not be able to rejoice.
(3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy are those who are found being peacemakers….for they shall be called the children of God.
They will hear His interpretation of the Scriptures (the opening of His mouth to teach us from Heaven) and will be found making peace in response to the hearing of His voice instead of making war with it.
Mat 5:9 KJV
(9) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. They will hear His voice and will produce peace.
Jas 3:17-18 KJV
(17) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
(18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Let us not be found by Him being contentious, wrathful, proud, and defending man’s church handwritings of ordinances (churchdogmas of what one believes is true).
Let us not bow down to church handwritings (prostrating to them as the “authority”) when we hear His voice interpreting. Let us be filled with what the Spirit is saying and not be “drunk” upon the wine of wrath.
Church handwritings….their creeds, formalized statements of faith, church bylaws, church constitutions, etc, etc, etc….are of man’s earthly imaginations because God did not write them nor did He speak them.
Yet, many keep and serve them as though God had commanded and written them when He did not.
They are “other gods” we are not to have. “gods” = “Elohim”….judges.
Church handwritings of ordinances are being used as authoritative documents to judge others with….and supposedly in the authority (name) of God. They are other judges (other gods) and not of THE Judge...the Elohim...The living God who is the living Judge. Handwritings that are used to judge others with are not living but dead.
We are not as “gods”…as judges…for God by doing so. We are not blessing God by using our mouth to speak evil of others in our judgment of them based on the handwritings of men.
The church handwritings are being used to judge others with as an “authority” for doing so. Yet, we are to remember there is only One lawgiver and One judge.
The church handwritings did not bring us out of the pollutions of the world (“Egypt”) only the true LORD our God…our Judge…does that.
Exo 20:1-6 KJV
(1) And God spake all these words, saying,
(2) I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
We are not to have other gods before Him. Let us keep HIS commandments and not man’s church handwritings of church ordinances (dogmas) which are used to judge others with.
The keeping of HIS commandments trump man’s church commandments of men. Let us not keep the commandments of men over God’s.
(3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
You shall not make unto you any “graven image”…that is, a formalized church handwriting of ordinances to bow down to. Yet, today they are found at the heart of EVERY “church” gathering.
These graven images…..the writings of the church scribes….are chiseled in stone as a tomb stone. They are written down for many to guard and keep unwavering. They are against and contrary to us.
They are patterned after ( in their likeness) the outside world’s handwritings…their constitutions, etc that earthly men have written for themselves to serve and worship rather than do God’s commandments.
(4) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
We are not to bow down to the church handwritings of men nor serve them. We are to love God and keep His commandments and not man's church handwritings that do not bring us eternal life.
Yet, we find them being highly revered and served in every church gathering…and they are passed down from generation to generation to keep. The iniquity of the church fathers (their church handwritings) are being passed down for future generations to keep and serve.
(5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
(6) And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The “tradition”….the transmission…of men (their church handwritings which are transmitted from one generation to another)…are worshipped and served rather than God’s commandments which are set aside in order to keep the commandments of men.
Mar 7:7-9 KJV
(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
(9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
The iniquity of the church fathers are their handwritings of ordinances passed down from generation to generation for the future posterity to worship and serve.
They are the “baal” (meaning “lord, master, husband”) located in every gathering where they are revered….worshipped and served more than God. It’s as though they were married to it….letting it rule over them.
Why be subject to “ordinances”…dogmas of what one thinks is right to keep and serve…of puffed-up minds? Do not let a man beguile you of your reward (eternal life in this mortal body in the here-and-now) in a voluntary humility and worshipping of messengers (the handwritings of the church scribes).
Col 2:18-22 KJV
(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not
The church handwritings are not sourced from God but come from fleshly, puffed up minds of men which rule over those who “humbly and voluntarily” submit to their
The world’s handwritings that they use to judge and “self govern” themselves with are the “elements” ….the fundamental principles…that burn us up with the using of them.
We perish with the using of man’s commandments as they are being used to judge others….thereby serving THE Sin.
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Jesus opens His mouth and speaks to us from Heaven via the Spirit of Truth sent down from there. He awakens His church from it’s sleep. We are to awake from our sleep arise from the “dead” and Christ shall give us light….His knowledge.

1Th 4:16 KJV
(16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

We are in a “grave” when we sit together with the false prophets who are only preaching “crumbs” of the Word 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,
Either we do good towards the hearing of his voice….or we do evil. All things hidden in the heart shall be made manifest outwardly.
(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.

(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.
He will then separate us accordingly. He will divide those who are of the light from those who are of the darkness…..dividing the wheat from the tares….the sheep from the goats.

Mat 5:9 KJV
(9) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
