"You shall have no other gods before or besides Me."
Behold, I Am Jesus Christ whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. And behold, I Am the light and the life of the world and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world in which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning. Many great destructions have I caused to come upon the earth and upon the Gentiles because of their wickedness and their abominations.
O’ all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they will ye not now return unto me and repent of your sins and be converted that I may heal you? For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven and all the proud yea, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of Hosts that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings and ye shall go forth and grow up as calves in the―
stall, and ye shall tread down the wicked for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet. Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto Me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you and whosoever will come him will I receive and blessed are those who come unto Me. Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth and all things that are in them. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father and the Father in Me and in Me hath the Father glorified His name. I came unto my own and my own received me not. And the ures concerning my coming are fulfilled. And as many as have received Me to them have I given to become the sons of God and―
even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name for behold, by Me redemption cometh and in Me is the law of Moses fulfilled. I am the light and the life of the world. Therefore hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up — that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father and ye all have witnessed. I Am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings. And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto Me with―
a broken heart and a contrite spirit him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Spirit because of their faith in Me at the time of their conversion were baptized with fire and with the Holy Spirit and they knew it not. Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world to save the world from sin. It was the more righteous part of the people who were saved and it was they who received the prophets and stoned them not. And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the earth and they were not drowned in the depths of the sea and they were not burned by fire neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death and they were not carried away in the whirlwind, neither were they overpowered by the vapor of smoke and of darkness. And now whoso readeth let him understand, he that hath the ures let―
"Anyone who rejects [Me] and persistently sets Me at naught, refusing to accept My teachings, has his judge [however]; for the [very] message that I have spoken will itself judge and convict [him] at the last day. When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father. You will know that you are in Me and [I AM] in-you."
him search them and see and behold if all these deaths and destructions by fire and by smoke and by tempests and by whirlwinds and by the opening of the earth to receive them and all these things are not unto the fulfilling of the prophecies of many of the holy prophets? Behold I say unto you, yea, many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ. Arise and come forth unto Me that ye may thrust your hands into my side and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet that ye may know that I Am the God of Israel and the God of the whole earth and have been slain for the sins of the world. For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of Me but―
is of the devil who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another. Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir-up the hearts of men with anger, one against another, but this is my doctrine that such things should be done away. Behold, verily, verily I say unto you, I will declare unto you my doctrine. And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto Me, and I bear record of the Father and the Father beareth record of Me and the Holy Spirit beareth record of the Father and Me and I bear record that the Father commandeth―
all men everywhere to repent and believe in Me. And whoso believeth in Me and is baptized the same shall be saved and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God. And whoso believeth not in Me and is not baptized shall be damned. Verily, verily I say unto you that this is my doctrine and I bear record of it from the Father and whoso believeth in Me believeth in the Father also and unto him will the Father bear record of Me for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Spirit. And thus will the Father bear record of Me and the Holy Spirit will bear record unto him of the Father and Me. For the―
"Enter [Through] The [Narrow] Gate."
"Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment, that ye may not shrink with awful fear, that ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness and be constrained to exclaim: Holy, holy are thy judgments O Lord God Almighty; but I know my guilt, I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine, and the devil hath obtained me that I am a prey to his awful misery."
Father and I and the Holy Spirit are One. And again I say unto you, ye must repent and become as a little―child and be baptized in My name or ye can in nowise receive these things. And again I say unto you, ye must repent and be baptized in My name and become as a little child or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. Verily, verily I say unto you that this is my doctrine and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon My Rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them. And whoso shall declare more or less than this and establish it for my doctrine the same cometh of evil and is not built upon my rock, but he buildeth upon a sandy foundation and the gates of hell stand open to receive such when the floods come―
and the winds beat upon them. Therefore go forth unto this people and declare the words which I have spoken unto the ends of the earth. More blessed are they who shall believe in my words because that ye shall testify that ye have seen Me and that ye know that I Am. Yea, blessed are they who shall believe in my words and come down into the depths of humility and be baptized for they shall be visited with fire and with the holy spirit and shall receive a remission of their sins. Yea, blessed are the poor in spirit who come unto me for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are all they who do hunger―
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists [He is real] and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]. Israel’s Punishment Will End. Then the glory of the Lord will be shown. All people together will see it.
The Lord Himself said these things.” This is the voice of a man who calls out: “Prepare in the desert the way for the Lord. Make the road in the dry lands straight for our God. "He will use his power to rule all the people. Look, he will bring reward for his people. He will have their payment with Him. Behold, his reward is with Him, and his work before Him.
and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Spirit. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God! Blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are all they who are persecuted for my name’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. And blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake, For ye shall have great joy and be exceedingly glad, for great shall be your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you. For if ye forgive men their trespasses your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye―
forgive not men their trespasses neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn thou not away. And behold it is written also that thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy. But behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you. That ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good. Therefore those things which were of old time which were under the law in Me are all fulfilled. Old things are done away and all things have become new. Therefore I would that―
s "Beware of false [prophets]."
"If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!—do not believe it. For false—Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). See, I have warned you beforehand." Watch therefore [give (strict) attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
ye should be perfect even as I or your Father who is in heaven is perfect. The light of the body is the eye, if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Enter ye in at the strait gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way which leadeth to destruction and many there be who go in thereat; Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it.
Beware of false [prophets] who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves. A good [tree] cannot bring forth evil fruit neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. As I have prayed among you even so shall ye pray in my church among my people who do repent and are baptized in my name. So great and marvellous were the words which he prayed that they cannot be written neither can they be uttered by Man. Behold I Am the light; I have set an example for you. And now behold, I say unto you that when the Lord shall see fit in his wisdom that these sayings shall come―
Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to [change] people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change. If we live in the dream thinking from-it, and not of-it, then the creative—power of imagining will answer our adventurous fancy, and the [wish] fulfilled will break in upon us and take us unawares.
unto the Gentiles according to his word then ye may know that the covenant which the Father hath made with the children of Israel concerning their restoration to the lands of their inheritance is already beginning to be fulfilled. And ye may know that the words of the Lord which have been spoken by the holy prophets shall all be fulfilled and ye need not say that the Lord delays his coming unto the children of Israel. And ye need not imagine in your hearts that the words which have been spoken are vain, for behold; the Lord will remember his covenant which he hath made unto his people of the house of Israel. And when ye shall see these sayings coming forth among you, then ye need not any longer spurn at the―
doings of the Lord, for the sword of his justice is in his right hand; and behold at that day, if ye shall spurn at his doings he will cause that it shall soon overtake you. Woe unto him that spurneth at the doings of the Lord; yea, woe unto him that shall deny the Christ and his works! Yea, woe unto him that shall deny the revelations of the Lord and that shall say the Lord no longer worketh by revelation or by prophecy or by gifts or by tongues or by healings or by the power of the Holy Ghost! Yea and woe unto him that shall say at that day to get gain that there can be no miracle wrought by Jesus Christ; for he that doeth this shall become like unto the son of perdition for whom there was no mercy according to the word of Christ!
Yea, and ye need not any longer hiss nor spurn nor make game of the Jews nor any of the remnant of the house of Israel; for behold, the Lord remembereth his covenant unto them and he will do unto them according to that which he hath sworn. Therefore ye need not suppose that ye can turn the right hand of the Lord unto the left that he may not execute judgment unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath made unto the house of Israel. And now behold, beloved, I have spoken unto you, according as the spirit hath constrained me; wherefore I know that these things must surely come to pass. And the things which shall be written out of the book shall be of great wroth unto the children of Men and especially―
"For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
unto our-seed which is a remnant of the house of Israel. Behold, many false churches shall be built up in these last days — they shall teach false and vain and foolish doctrines — Apostasy shall abound because of false teachers — the devil shall rage in the hearts of men—He shall teach all manner of false [doctrines]. For it shall come to pass in these last days that the churches which are built up and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other: Behold, I, I am the Lord’s; and the others shall say: I, I am the Lord’s; and thus shall everyone say that hath built up churches and not unto the Lord — And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall contend one with another and they shall teach with their―
learning and deny the Holy [Spirit] which giveth utterance. And they deny the power of God the Holy One of Israel; and they say unto the people: Hearken unto us and hear ye our precept; for behold there is no God today, for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done his work, and he hath given his power unto Men; Behold, hearken ye unto my precept; if they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord believe it not; for this day he is not a God of miracles; he hath done his work. Yea and there shall be many which shall say: eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us. And there shall also be many which shall say: eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless fear God — He will justify in committing―
I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.
a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbour; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Yea, and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines and shall be puffed up in their hearts and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord, and their works shall be in the dark. And the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against them! Yea, they have all gone out of the way, they have become corrupted. Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine,―
their churches have become corrupted, and their churches are lifted up; because of pride they are puffed up. They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and the poor in heart because in their pride they are puffed up. They wear stiff necks and high heads; yea, and because of pride and wickedness and abominations and whoredoms; they have all gone astray save it be a few who are the humble followers of Christ, nevertheless they are led; that in many instances they do err because they are taught by the precepts of men. O’ the wise, and the learned, and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false―
"Wake up, Lord! Why are you sleeping? Therefore He says, “Wake up, sleeper! Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you.” Do you not know that [your] body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the [Holy] Spirit Who lives within [you], Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You do not own [yourselves].
doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms and pervert the right way of the Lord, woe, woe, woe be unto them saith the Lord God Almighty, for they shall be thrust down to hell! Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness,―
and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Woe unto them that turn aside the Just for a thing of naught and revile against that which is good and say that it is of no worth! For the day shall come that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth; and in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish. But behold, if the inhabitants of the earth shall repent of their wickedness and abominations they shall not be destroyed saith the Lord of Hosts. But behold, the great and abominable church, the whore of all the earth must tumble to the earth and great must be the fall thereof. For the kingdom―
"Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me,
saith the Lord."
of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains and they be stirred up to anger and perish; thus, the devil laugheth and cheateth their souls. For behold, in these last days: yea, even the devil shall rage in the hearts of the children of men and stir them up to anger against that which is good. And others will he pacify and lull them away into carnal security that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well, and thus the devil cheateth their souls and leadeth them away carefully down to hell. Yea, And behold, others he flattereth away and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them; I am no devil,―
for there is none, and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains from whence there is no deliverance. For the devil cheateth their souls. Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell, and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the Throne of God and be judged according to their works; from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone which is endless torment. Therefore; woe be unto him that is at ease in Zion! Woe be unto him that crieth: All is well! Yea, woe be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men and denieth the Power of God and the gift of the Holy Spirit! Yea, woe be unto him―
You can be what you want to be no matter what your dream is, if you are willing to let God do it? God being your own imagining. You walk completely suspended above appearances and you will become what you desire. God has given me a special gift. That is why I have something to say to everyone among you. Do not think that you are better than you are. You must see yourself as you really are. Decide what you are by the amount of faith God has given you.
that saith: we have received and we need no more and in fine! Woe unto all those who tremble and are angry because of the truth of God! Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall. Woe be unto him that shall say: we have received the word of God and we need no more of the word of God for we have enough! For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto―
My precepts and lend an ear unto My counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, we have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have. Woe unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God like unto us and that transgresseth them and that wasteth the days of his probation. For awful is his state! Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink that continues until night and wine inflame them! O’ that cunning plan of the evil one! O’ the vainness, and the frailties and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise and they hearken not unto the―
“I sent my great army against you. Those swarming locusts and the hopping locusts, the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts ate your crops. But I will pay you back for those years of trouble. Then you will have plenty to eat. You will be full. You will praise the name of the Lord your God. He has done miracles for you. My people will never again be shamed. He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love."
counsel of God for they set it aside supposing they know of themselves; wherefore their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not and they shall perish! Woe unto the deaf that will not hear; for they shall perish. Woe unto the blind that will not see; for they shall perish also. Woe unto the uncircumcised of heart, for a knowledge of their iniquities shall smite them at the last day. Woe unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell! Woe unto the murderer who deliberately killeth, for he shall die. Woe unto them who commit whoredoms for they shall be thrust down to hell! Yea, woe unto those that [worship] idols, for the devil of all devils delighteth in them and in fine. Woe unto all those who die in their sins; for they―
shall return to God and behold his face and remain in their sins. Woe unto the rich who are rich as to the things of the world. For because they are rich they despise the poor and they persecute the meek and their hearts are upon their treasures; wherefore their treasure is their god. And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also. Woe, woe, woe unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except they shall repent; for the devil laugheth and his angels rejoice because of the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people; and it is because of their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen. For it shall come to pass saith the Father that in these last days whosoever will not repent and come unto My beloved―
Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise—man who built his house upon a rock—And the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man who built—
his house upon the sand—And the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it. Verily, verily I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always lest ye be tempted by the devil and ye be led away captive by him. Hearken unto Me ye that know righteousness; for blessed are ye that endureth temptation.
Son, them will I cut-off from among my people O’ house of Israel; think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy but to fulfil saith the Lord of Hosts. Cursed is he that putteth his trust in Man or maketh flesh his arm or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the Power of the Holy Spirit; woe be unto him saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day. They will deny Me; nevertheless I will be merciful unto them saith the Lord God If they will repent and come unto Me. For mine arm is lengthened out all the day long saith the Lord God of Hosts. Therefore whoso repenteth and―
cometh unto Me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life and have taken it up again; therefore repent and come unto Me ye ends of the earth and be saved. How oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, yea, O’ ye people of the house of Israel who have fallen; yea, O’ ye people of the house of Israel that have fallen; yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens and ye would not! Behold, verily, verily I say unto you; ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you; that he may sift you as wheat. O’ ye house of Israel whom I have spared; how oft―
"You shall be My [own] peculiar possession."
O’ my beloved brethren. Remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticing of that cunning one. My beloved brethren and all ye ends of the earth; hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words; for they are the words of Christ and they teach all Men that they should do good and have faith in Him.
will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings; if ye will repent and return unto Me with full purpose of heart. But if not, O’ house of Israel, the places of your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling of the covenant to your fathers. For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of these things wherein ye will take up your cross than that ye should be cast into hell. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess―
unto them: I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Fear not the reproach of men neither be you afraid of their reviling for the moth shall eat them up like a garment and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever and my salvation from generation to generation saith the Lord God of Hosts. And now behold, this is the commandment which I give unto you that ye shall not suffer any one knowingly to partake of my flesh and blood unworthily when ye shall minister it; for whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul; therefore if ye know that a man is unworthy to eat and drink of my flesh and blood ye shall―
"The Great I Am."
Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. For truly, let not such a person [imagine] that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord, [For being as he is] a man of [two] minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].
forbid him. Nevertheless ye shall not cast him out from among you but ye shall minister unto him and shall pray for him unto the Father in My name. And if it so be that he repenteth and is baptized in My name then shall ye receive him and shall minister unto him of my flesh and blood. But if he repents not; he shall not be numbered among my people; that he may not destroy my people; for behold I know my sheep and they are numbered. Nevertheless ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues or your places of worship; for unto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent and come unto Me with full purpose of heart and I shall heal―them; and ye shall be the means of bringing―
salvation unto them. Therefore keep these sayings which I have commanded you that ye come not under condemnation; for woe unto him whom the Father condemneth. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall revile against you in judgment you shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of Me saith the Lord God of Hosts. It maketh known unto them of their fathers; and it speaketh of Jesus and persuadeth them to believe in Him and to endure to the end which is life eternal.
"Be not deceived: evil [communications] corrupt good manners." Awake [from your drunken [stupor] and return] to sober [sense] and your—right—minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God [you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully—ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God’s presence and all [true] knowledge of Him]. I say this to [your] shame."
And it speaketh harshly against sin according to the plainness of the truth. Wherefore no man will be angry at the words which I have written save he shall be of the spirit of the devil. Remember, to be carnally [minded] is death and to be spiritually [minded] is life eternal. Therefore beloved, reconcile yourselves to the will of God and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember after you are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that you are saved. "Sing unto God; sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before Him!" Great are the Promises of the Lord unto them that endureth to the end. Therefore cheer up your hearts―
and remember that you are free to act for yourselves; to choose the way to everlasting death or the way to eternal Life. And now I cannot say more; the spirit stoppeth mine utterance and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief and the wickedness and the ignorance and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge nor understand great [knowledge] when it is given unto them in plainness; even as plain as words can be. I perceive that ye ponder still in your hearts; and it grieveth me that I must speak concerning this thing. Behold my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things; It must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin. Behold,―
"The Promise of the [Holy] Spirit."
If you [really] love Me, you will [keep] obey My commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever. "The totality and comprehensiveness of God’s provenance is the focus—Go in through the narrow [gate] watch—over (Guard) your [imagination] (imaginal—activities), just as the Father—watches over yours and everyone else’s imaginal—activities."
my soul abhorreth sin and my heart delighteth in righteousness and I will praise the holy name of my God. Come my brethren, everyone that thirsteth after righteousness. For if ye would hearken unto the spirit which teacheth a man to pray ye would know that ye must pray; for the evil spirit teacheth not a man to pray; but teacheth him that he must not pray. But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ; that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee; that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul. Beloved, my soul delighteth in proving unto you the truth―
and of the coming of Christ. For this end hath the law of Moses been given and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world unto Man. My soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which He hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in His grace and in His justice and power and mercy, in the great and eternal plan of deliverance from death. My heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard. Nevertheless notwithstanding the great goodness of the Lord in showing me his great and marvellous works, my heart exclaimeth: O’ wretched man that I am! Yea, my heart sorroweth because of my flesh and my soul grieveth because of mine iniquities. I am―
Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
encompassed about because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me; and when I desire to rejoice my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless I know in whom I have trusted. My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep. He hath filled me with his love even unto the consuming of my flesh. He hath confounded mine enemies unto the causing of them to quake before me. Behold, he hath heard my cry by day and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night time. And by day have I waxed—
bold in mighty [prayer] before Him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high. Yea, Rejoice, O’ my heart and cry unto the Lord and say: O’ Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee my God and the rock of my salvation. "At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and [I AM]
in-you." If you will return, O Israel, says the Lord, if you will return to Me, and if you will put away your abominable false gods out of My—sight and not stray or waver, And if you swear, As the Lord lives, in truth, in judgment and justice, and in righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation), then the nations will bless themselves in Him and in Him will they glory.
The Lord will reward—you for all you have done. You will be paid in full by the Lord, the God of Israel. You have come to Him as a little bird finds shelter under the wings of its mother. For the Lord has called you like a woman forsaken, grieved in spirit, and heartsore—like a woman whose husband left her. And you were very sad. You were like a wife who married young and then her husband left her.
But the Lord called you to be his,” says your God. Charm and grace are deceptive, (can fool you) and beauty is vain (can trick—you [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently (respects) and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised! Give her of the fruit of her hands, (the reward she has earned). She should be openly—praised for what she has done in the gates [of the city]!
"Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your [previous] manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; And be [constantly] renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a (fresh) mental and spiritual attitude], And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness." The Lord makes [everything] work the way
He wants it. "The Good News! God’s Kingdom Is Within [You]."
"Behold, will you believe in the day of your visitation—behold, when the Lord shall come, yea, even that great day when the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll and the elements shall melt with fervent heat yea, in that great day when you shall be brought to stand before the Lamb of God—then will you say that there is no God? Then will you longer deny the Christ or can you behold the Lamb of God? Do you suppose that you shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt?
Do you suppose that you could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt that you have ever abused his laws? How can you stand before the power of God except you shall repent and turn from your evil ways? Know you not that you are in the hands of God? Know you not that he hath [all] power and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll? Know you that you must come to the knowledge of your fathers and repent of all your sins and iniquities and believe in Jesus Christ that he is the Son of God and that he was slain by the Jews and by the power of the Father he hath risen again; whereby he hath gained the victory over the grave and also―
in him is the sting of death swallowed up. And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead whereby Man must be raised to stand before his judgement-seat. Know you that you are of the house of Israel. Know you that you must come unto repentance or you cannot be saved. Know you that you must lay down your weapons of war and delight no more in the shedding of blood and take them not again save it be that God shall command you. “Behold, I say unto you that you would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God under a consciousness of your filthiness before Him than you would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.” For behold, when you shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and―
"Slaves of Righteousness."
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law but under God’s grace. So the person who lives in Christ does not go on sinning. If he goes on sinning, he has never really understood Christ and has never known him.
also the glory of God, and the holiness of Jesus Christ; it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you. O’ then you unbelieving, turn you unto the Lord; cry mightily unto the Father in the name of Jesus that perhaps you may be found [spotless] having been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb at that great and last day. Therefore repent and humble [yourselves] before Him lest He shall come out in justice against you. And now behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord? Who can deny his sayings? Who will rise up against the almighty power of the Lord? Who will despise the works of the Lord? Who will despise the Children of Christ? Behold, all you who are despisers of the works of the Lord, for you shall―
wonder and perish. O’ then despise not and wonder not; but hearken unto the words of the Lord and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things so ever you shall stand in need. Doubt not but believe and begin as in times of old and come unto the Lord with all your heart and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before Him. "Be wise in the days of your probation; strip [yourselves] of all uncleanness; ask not that you may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken; that you will yield to no temptation; but that you will serve the true and living God". Don’t be like the hypocrites. See that you are not baptised unworthily; see that you partake not of the sacrament of Christ unworthily; but see―
"Deep feelings of sorrow [arising] from past-events] now seen as sins, mistakes or misfortunes. It can [either] lead to [true] repentance or [destructive] bitterness."
that you do all things in worthiness and do it in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of the living God; and if you do this and endure to the end, ye will in nowise be cast out. Lord, they have killed Your prophets; they have demolished Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life. But what is God’s reply to him? I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal! So too at the present time there is a remnant (a small believing minority), selected (chosen) by grace (by God’s unmerited favor and graciousness). And again I speak unto you who deny the revelations of God and say that they are done away; that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with―
tongues and the interpretation of tongues; Behold I say unto you; he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ; yea, he has not read the [Holy] Bible; if so, he does not understand it. For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in Him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing? And now if you have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary and in whom there is shadow of changing then have you imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not god of miracles. But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles; even the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth and all things―
that are in them. Behold he created Adam, and by Adam came the fall of Man. And because of the fall of man came Jesus Christ, even the Father and the Son; and because of Jesus Christ came the redemption of Man. And because of the redemption of Man which came by Jesus Christ, they are brought back into the presence of the Lord; yea, this is wherein all men are redeemed, because the death of Christ bringeth to pass the resurrection, which bringeth to pass a redemption from an endless sleep from which sleep all men shall be awakened by the power of God when the trump shall sound. And they shall come forth both small and great and all shall stand before his bar being redeemed and loosed from this eternal band―
"The Lord's
"The Lord holds a cup of anger in His hand [His wrath]. It is full of wine [mixed] with spices. He pours it out even to the last drop. And the wicked [drink] it all." Then Jesus said, I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there may be [a] separation between those who believe on Me and [b] those who reject—Me], to make
the sightless see and to make
of death which death is a temporal death. And then cometh the judgement of the Holy One upon them; and then cometh the time that he that is filthy shall be filthy still; and he that is righteous shall be righteous still; and he that is happy shall be happy still; and he that is unhappy shall be unhappy still. Behold, are not the things that God hath wrought marvellous in our eyes? Yea, and who can comprehend the marvellous works of God? Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be and by the power of his word Man was created of the dust of the earth and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought? And who shall say that Jesus Christ did not many mighty miracles? And―
there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands of the apostles. And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God and is a God of miracles. And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief and depart from the right [way] and know not the God in whom they should trust. Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ doubting nothing whatsoever, he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ and it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth. Whosoever shall believe in My name doubting nothing unto him will I confirm all my words even unto the ends of the earth.
"Brothers, do not be surprised when the people of this [world] hate you. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and if anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, [cannot] love God, Whom he has not seen. And you [know] that no murderer has eternal life abiding (persevering) within [him]. So we can see who God’s children are and who the devil’s children are. Anyone who does not love his brother is not a child of God."
"The Word that God [speaks] is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two [edged] sword, penetrating to the dividing-line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest-parts of our [nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts, purposes, intents, attitudes and feelings in [our] hearts."
"You seek to know and walk in My power so that you can heal the sick and perform miracles but you have not even begun to comprehend the power of My word." To resurrect all the dead who have ever lived on earth will not even cause Me to strain. I uphold all things by the power of My word. The creation exists because of My word and it is held together by My word. “Before the end, I will reveal My power on earth. Even so, the greatest power that I have ever revealed on the earth or ever will is still a very small demonstration of My power. I do not reveal My power to cause men to believe in My power, but to cause men to believe in [My] love. “If I had wanted to save the world with My power when I walked the earth, I could―
have moved mountains by pointing a finger then all men would have bowed to Me, but not because they loved Me or loved the truth, but because they feared My power. I do not want men to obey Me because they fear My power, but because they love Me and love the truth. “If you do not know My love then My power will corrupt you. I do not give you love so you can know My power but I give you power so that you can know My love. The goal of your life must be love not power. Then I will give you power with which to love people. I will give you the power to heal the sick because you love them and I love them and I do not want [them] sick. “So, you must seek love first and then faith. You cannot please Me without―
"Thou shalt not be as the Hypocrites."
"Jesus Teaches About Prayer: When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites. They love to stand in the synagogues and on the [street] corners and pray [loudly]. They want people to see them pray. I tell you the truth. They already have their full [reward]. When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father who cannot be seen. Your Father can see what is done in secret, and He will reward you.
[faith]. But faith is not just the knowledge of My power it is the knowledge of My love and the power of My love. Faith must first be exercised in order to receive more love. Seek faith to love more and to do more with your love. Only when you seek the faith to love can I trust you with My power. Faith works by love. “My word is the power that upholds all things. To the degree that you believe My word is true you can do all things.” Those who really believe that My words are true will also be true to their own words. It is My nature to be true and the creation trusts My word because I am faithful to it. “Those who are like Me are also true to their own words.” Their word is sure and their commitments are trustworthy. Their ‘yes’ means ‘yes,’ and their ‘no’ means ‘no.’ If your own words are not true you will also begin to doubt My―
words because deception is in your heart. If you are not faithful to your own words it is because you do not really know Me. To have faith you must be faithful. I have called you to walk by faith because I am faithful. It is My nature. “That is why you will be judged because of the careless words you speak. To be careless is to care less. Words have power and those who are careless with words cannot be trusted with the power of My word. It is wisdom to be careful with your words and to keep them as I do Mine.” “What you are thinking is true, but this comparison of Man to God is not just in size. You began to experience the power of My words. To be entrusted with My words is to be entrusted with the power by which the universe is held together. I did not do this to make you feel small but to help you understand the seriousness and―
"Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and—action). Rejoice, and be exceeding glad (supremely joyful), for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
the power that with which you have been entrusted—the Word of God. “In all of your endeavours remember that the importance of a single word from God to Man is of more value than all of the treasures on earth. You must understand and teach My brethren to respect the value of My word. As one who is called to carry My words you must also respect the value of your own words. Those who will carry the truth must be true.” “It is good for you to lose confidence in yourself. I cannot trust you with the powers of the age to come until you do. The more confidence you lose in yourself the more power I will be able to trust you with. You must have faith to do what you are called to do, but it must be faith in Me. It is not―
enough for you to just lose confidence in yourself. That only leads to insecurity if you do not fill the void with confidence in Me. That is how many of these men fell to their delusions. “Many of these men and women were prophets. But some of them out of insecurity would not let men call them prophets. Yet that was not the truth because they were. False humility is also a deception. "If the enemy could deceive them into thinking that they were not really prophets; he could also deceive them into thinking that they were greater prophets than they were; just by nurturing their self-confidence." False humility will not cast out pride. It is just another form of self-centeredness which the enemy has a right to exploit. All of your failures will be the result of this one thing: self-centeredness. The only way to be delivered from this is to walk in love. "Love does not seek its own.”
"You are jealous and covet [what others have] and your desires go unfulfilled; [so] you [become] murderers. [To hate is to murder as far as (your) hearts are concerned]. You burn with envy and anger and are not able to obtain [the gratification, the contentment, and the happiness that (you) seek], so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask. [Or] you do ask [God for them] and yet fail to receive, because [you] ask with [wrong] purpose and evil, selfish [motives]. Your intention is [when you get what you desire] to spend it in sensual desires, lusts and pleasures."
And God gave us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you respect the Lord, you also will hate evil. Hate is a very powerful word and a destroyer of many. Hate is a deadly spiritual―virus that travels through all the bloodlines of every human. It’s an [ancient] subtle―hate, and its companions are anger and jealousy. This ancient hate which resides in the majority of humans―
as you can see is the cause of all the troubles, deaths and diseases of the world. If you look closely you will see a pattern of that ‘hate’ in your bloodline. For example if you are on the phone to someone, it could be family or other and you have a pleasant conversation before you hang up. Once you hang up, you start cursing and hating and talking bad of that person, ignorantly―thinking that God is not seeing what you are doing…you are destroying yourself through your feelings with that subtle 'hate' which grows in you like a baby, then when that hate is fully mature and ripe in you, time to give birth… will then destroy―you because you refused to remove hate, anger and jealousy from your heart. When you have hate,―
In the past your spiritual―lives were dead because of your sins and the things you did wrong against God. Yes, in the past you lived the way the world lives. You followed the ruler of the evil powers that are above the earth. That same spirit is now working in those who refuse to obey God. And Christ is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power]. You believers are like a building that God owns. Jesus is ‘the stone that you builders did not want. That is why you need to get God’s full complete armor. We fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses. So stand [strong], [hold (your) ground], God, the Holy One, says, “Can you compare Me to anyone?
anger and jealousy in your heart, you are not a child of God―you think you are, but you are not―you cannot call [yourself] a child of God with hate, anger and jealousy in your heart until [you] remove those demons―hate, anger and jealousy from out of your heart [completely]. “‘You must not hate your brother in your heart. Don’t think you can hate someone and pretend to love them and hide that subtle hate (He who hides his hate is a liar) from the Father. If that’s what you are thinking, you delude yourself. That subtle hate in your heart in time will get the better of you and destroy you. You need to let go of those three demons: hate, anger and jealousy in your heart then you will live! But I tell you, Love―
your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who hurt you. “Don’t think that I have come to destroy the law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets. I have not come to destroy their teachings but to do what they said. Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. You cannot hate to get to heaven, you must love to get to heaven―for God is love, not hate. That is why the Way to Heaven Is Hard; the gate is very narrow and only a few go through that gate. But there are massive sign-posts saying: hate, anger and jealousy at the wide gate that leads to hell and many people enter through that gate. You can [never at all]―
enter the kingdom of God with hate, anger and jealousy in your heart. If you remove hate, anger and jealousy from your heart [completely], you will see―heaven because that [will] make―you a child of God. If you harden your heart to the truth, you are not a child of God and you will be destroyed. All people will hate—you because you follow—Me. The world cannot [be expected to] hate—you, but it does hate—Me because I denounce it for its wicked works and reveal that its doings are evil. "I tell you the truth." God is the One who gives seed to the farmer. And he gives bread for food. What is the seed—
that fell on the good ground? Love and hate have a magical transforming power, and we grow through their exercise into the likeness of what we contemplate. “If anyone comes to Me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters more than he loves Me, then he cannot be My follower. A person must love Me more than he loves himself! Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy―Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own. "Control yourselves and be careful! Christ Jesus, will Himself [complete] and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle [you]." I will—
build you using fairness. You will be safe from those who would hurt you. So you will have nothing to fear. Nothing will come to make you afraid. I will not send anyone to attack you. And you will defeat those who do attack you. It is true that some preach about Christ because they are jealous and bitter. But others preach about Christ because they want to help. They preach because they have love, and they know that God gave me the work of defending the Good News. And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in-you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good―work] and perfecting and bringing it to full―completion in you.
CAN A MAN MAKE 'gods' FOR HIMSELF?
Such are not gods! Therefore [says the Lord] behold, I will make them know—[yes] this once I will make them know My power and My might; and they will know and recognize that My name is the Lord. They made God angry by building places to worship false gods. They made Him jealous with their idols.
Men pray to a god that does not exist, an external [god] Secular History; a god outside of Man. They traded the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served things that were made by Man. But they did not worship and serve the God who made those things. All external worship outside the Body of Christ is anti-christ, idol—worship. Those enemies of Christ were in our—group. But they left us. All your Spiritual—Power should be [directed] to the Father who is in-you which is "Salvation—History" and not outside of you. “Before I made [you] in your mother’s womb, I chose [you]. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special―work. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jesus is the Only [One] who can save—
[people]. No one else in the world is able to save [us]. For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine—nature]. And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual—stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every—angelic—principality and power]. If I use the word God or the word Christ, the word Jesus, the word Lord, and in any way it conveys the sense of an existent someone or something (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) outside of yourself—you have the wrong concept—
of God or Christ. "Even though we once did estimate Christ from a human—viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. “Tell them this message: ‘These false gods did not make heaven and earth. But they will be destroyed and disappear from heaven and earth. So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect]. "Be sure that no one leads you away with false ideas and words that mean nothing. So—called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition [men’s—
ideas of the material rather than the spiritual—world], just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of Christ the Messiah]. These men revile (scoff and sneer at) anything they do not happen to be acquainted with and do not understand; and whatever they do understand physically [that which they know by mere instinct], without thinking, but by feeling the way like irrational beasts when primitive, carnal, external—minds of men couldn’t understand anymore—by these they corrupt themselves and are destroyed (perish). Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing—
and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). They hated the message [from] the [Holy] God of Israel. And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity. But he who endures to the end will be saved. They have taught their hearts to be selfish. God will punish them. They beguile and bait and lure away unstable souls. Their hearts are trained in covetousness (lust, greed), [they are] children of a curse [exposed to cursing]! Then I will become very angry at them. I will leave them. I will turn away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many terrible things will—
happen to them. Then they will say, ‘God is not with us. That is why these terrible things are happening.’ How terrible it will be for people who call good things bad and bad things good. Then the Lord said to me, “Human being, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the dark? Have you seen each man in the room of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord doesn’t see—us. The Lord has left the land.’” He also said to me, Yet again you shall see greater abominations which they are committing. Can a man make gods for himself? Such are not gods! And everything said of Him in Scripture, which you were taught to believe was secular history, proves itself [in] you to be Salvation History. It's a History of Salvation! Accept God’s—
Salvation to be your helmet. And take the sword of the Spirit—that sword is the teaching of God. If you are willing and obedient, you—shall—eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you—will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. "For The Word that God [speaks] is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two [edged] sword, penetrating to the dividing―line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest—parts of our [nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts, purposes, intents, attitudes and feelings in [our] hearts." There is therefore now no—
Jesus answered, Is it not written in your Law, I said, You are gods? I Say, "YOU ARE gods." Children of the Most High, All of You.” O ye princes. "You have been regenerated [born] again, not from a mortal [a]origin ([b]seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God." "He who believes in Me as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow out from his heart."
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law [as slaves], but under God’s grace. [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy]. So the person who lives in Christ does not go on sinning. If he goes on sinning, he has never really understood Christ and has never known him. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son—the Word Christ [God—Himself] to be an offering for sin [in the guise of sinful flesh]. [God] condemned—
sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice]. So God used a human life to destroy sin. He did this so that we could be right as the law said we—must be, because we all belong to each other in the same body. For you have put off the old—man with its evil practices, and have put—on—the―new—man, which is renewed in knowledge after the—image of him that created—him. Now we do not live following our sinful—selves, but we—live following the Spirit—For the weapons of our warfare are not—carnal [physical weapons of flesh and blood]. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone observes—
"A Prophet to
The Nations.”
“Before I made [you] in your mother’s womb, I chose [you]. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special―work. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. So you must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers.
My teaching [lives in accordance with My message, keeps My word], he will by no means ever see and experience death. And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this? The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.] When I plan something, it happens. I do the things I want to do. Thus, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one [especially] wicked person who repents (changes his mind, abhorring—
his errors and misdeeds, and determines to enter upon a better—course of life) than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance. Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high-time now for you to wake-up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The “night” is almost finished. The “day” is almost here. So we should stop doing things that belong to darkness and take up the weapons used for fighting in the light. Let us live in a right way, as in the daytime. We should not have wild parties or get drunk. There should be no sexual immorality or—
People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God. So God left them and allowed them to have their own [worthless] thinking. And so those people do the things that they should not do. Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of sin, evil, unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents.
evil conduct, no fighting or jealousy. But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ. Forget about satisfying your sinful self. "Be not deceived: evil [communications] corrupt good manners." Awake [from your drunken [stupor] and return] to sober [sense] and your—right—minds, and sin no more. For some of you have not the knowledge of God [you are utterly and willfully and disgracefully—ignorant, and continue to be so, lacking the sense of God’s presence and all [true] knowledge of Him]. I say this to [your] shame." The Lord will reward—you for all you have done. You will be paid in full by the Lord, the God of Israel. You have come to Him as a little bird finds shelter under the wings of its mother. For the Lord has—
called you like a woman forsaken, grieved in spirit, and heartsore—like a woman whose husband left her. And you were very sad. You were like a wife who married young and then her husband left her. But the Lord [called] you to be his,” says your God. If you will return, O Israel, says the Lord, if you will return to Me, and if you will put away your abominable false gods out of [My] sight and not stray or waver, And if you swear, As the Lord lives, in truth, in judgment and justice, and in righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation), then the nations will bless themselves in Him and in Him will they glory. “I tell you the truth. Before Abraham was born, I Am!” The supreme—power of the universe is One with human―Imagination.
"Man Is [All] Imagination."
"And God is Man, and exists in-us, and we in Him. The eternal body of Man is the human―imagination, that’s Christ in Man, and that is God Himself and there is no other―God." The rich man, the poor man, the beggarman, the thief are One mind, just [different] arrangements of the same mind. The Divine Body Jesus, and we are His members. We have been all made to drink into One Spirit not two. The Father is active [in] you―when the
"Master, which is the Great [Commandment] in the Law?"
"May the gates of hell be shut continually before me because that my heart
is broken and my spirit is contrite! "O’ Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy
righteousness before me; that I may walk in the path of the low valley;
that I may be strict in the plain road! O’ Lord, wilt thou encircle me around
in the robe of thy righteousness! Wilt thou make my path straight before me!
Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way; but that thou wouldst
clear my way before me and hedge not up my way.
O’ Lord, I have trusted in thee and I will trust in thee forever.
I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh;
for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh.
Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in Man or maketh flesh his arm.
Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh.
Yea, my God will give me if I ask not amiss;
therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee;
yea, I will cry unto thee my God, the rock of my righteousness.
Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee.
My rock and mine everlasting God. Amen."
