"Men thought we were using cosmetic relationships according to the Bible studies".........
Men think that christianity is "having a relationship" with Christ, as though they and Christ were two separate people. Hogwash! The idea that Christ is an "add on" to man's life or personhood is a lie of the adversary which began centuries ago among intellectual, highminded converts and is perpetuated today through so called "christian" educational facilities such as Bible schools, colleges and semitaries. The adversary looooves cosmetic (surface) "christianity"; that's why it's still alive and well on planet earth, and has millions of followers. Of course these writings won't reach the eyes of those millions, for they don't have eyes to see or ears to hear. Only the few-the remnant-have eyes to see and ears to hear, so I am speaking to them.
The truth that Christ and the believer are not two separate persons "in a relationship", but ONE SINGLE PERSON AND THAT PERSON IS CHRIST, can only be discovered by revelation of the Spirit, NOT THROUGH BIBLE STUDIES.
No matter how much Bible studying you do, or how many classes "in deeper life" you have under your belt, or how many hands waved over or placed on your head, or certificates of completion of this or that course of study you have completed, will give you this revelation. If you are relying on the former to "grow" and "mature" or "get more of Jesus", you can forget it, for it isn't going to happen.
Jesus is not a relationship, nor can He be portionalized. You can't "take bites out of Jesus" until you eventually "get all of Him". The idea of "we just need more of Jesus" is a crock, because such a thought says you and He are two separate individuals, when in actuality HE IS THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL. Only the remnant is to know this-is to come to this revelation- which is not an intellectual knowing in the mind, BUT A LIFE EXPERIENCE.
The proliferation of Bible studies, conferences, meetings, seminars, etc., is based on this "more of Jesus" idea. The foundation for this entered through Eve in the Garden, becoming what is known as self consciousness; the separated, individual, autonomous I/ME, which is imprinted or branded on the mind, and can only be "eliminated" or transformed into CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS by the aforesaid revelation.
Christ consciousness is the revelation of the mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory..You aren't living any more, because HE IS THE NEW I/ME. You are no longer two, but ONE.

Blessings of Breasts and Womb
Gen. 49:25 "From the God of your father who does help you, and God Almighty Who does bless you; blessings of the heavens above......blessings of breasts and womb."
A life of obedience means one needs not worry about sickness or disease. How can this be? Sickness and disease are part of the human condition, you say. My answer is , yes it is, and the cause of it is sin-disobedience to the God ordained laws of life, ie, lawlessness.
Two consequences of this lawlessness in females is cancer of the breast and cervix due to misuse of the body, not repented of.
All professing christian women must understand what God's purpose is in making the female body the way it is, and the role she is ordained to fulfill as a physical embodiment of the Body of Christ.
Many, not having any conception of this truth, continue on using/misusing their bodies in their "new" life as they did in their former life. Not having a true understanding of their role, they continue to reap consequences from lawless behavior in their former life. The result of this is the proliferation of the experience of cancer of the breast and cervix (womb). among them, just as it is among their former sisters who are still in darkness.
They think it's "part of the female condition" and if they "eat healthy" and take plenty of "vitamins" their "risk" will be lowered to infection of such things. Or, if there is a history of cancer in their forebears, they expectantly look for it to happen in themselves; assisted in this by the medical practitioners, whom they have great faith in.
Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.......
Technology has come up with all kinds of artifices, instruments, technics, drugs, and other types of "bandaids", most, if not all, invented TO ELIMINATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF BEHAVIOR.
Want to have intercourse, but not have the baby which is the consequence of that activity? Technology has the answer. Want to have a body like the Hollywood bedhoppers? Technology has the answer. Want to have a baby when YOU want to have a baby? Technology has the answer. Carrying a baby that is just not convenient right now? Technology has the answer.
Technology, however CANNOT THWART GOD. If you "slap a technological bandaid" over your unwanted, inconvenient consequences, eventually THE CONSEQUENCES WILL COME OUT/BE EXPRESSED THROUGH THE BODY as the aforesaid cancer of breast and cervix. Only humble repentance of these lawless activities will bring blessings in the female body.
Just "believing in Jesus and going to heaven when I die" is not enough.
If you believe, then you will COOPERATE WITH THE WAY HE MADE YOUR BODY TO FUNCTION THROUGH YOUR OBEDIENCE, thereby PROVING YOUR PROFESSION OF BELIEF. You will avoid the former misuse of your body which you did while in darkness, like it was the plague (which it is).
If you have read this, you cannot say "I didn't know". You no longer have an excuse.

The Gates and the Door
So shall there be prosperity in thy gates.........
Pro.1:20-21 "Wisdom in the open places sounds forth, in the broadways she raises her voice; at the head of bustling streets she cries aloud; AT THE OPENING OF THE GATES in the city, her sayings she does utter...."
Pro. 8:1-3"Does not wisdom cry aloud? And understanding send forth her voice? At the top of the high places above the way; at the place where paths meet she takes her stand: BESIDE THE GATES at the entrance of the city, at the going in of the openings she shouts...."
Rev. 3:20"Lo! Iam standing AT THE DOOR AND KNOCKING; IF ANYONE SHALL HEARKEN TO MY VOICE AND OPEN THE DOOR, I will come in unto him and will sup with him and he with Me."
The "gates" and "door" are symbolic words referring to the "Will" of man. The Will is the "yes" and "no" of man and therefore, is like "gates" and a "door" which open, saying yes, or close saying no. It can also be called the yielding and resistant aspect of man. The gates and/or door-the Will- is the portal or entryway into the "city" which is the mind.
The Will, or volition, is what makes humans of a higher order than animals, which live by what is called "instinct". Both the Will in humans and instinct of animals are an aspect of the One intelligence which emanates from the Creator God. Both "intelligences" emanate from the One, but in the animal, the intelligence has a "built-in-limitation", whereas in man it is not; in this he (man), is "godlike".
How the Will is used determines the condition of the mind "behind the gates/door". God has chosen not to change the Will by force, for to do so would make man a robot. God, being in charge of all circumstances, has myriads of ways of arranging things, the ultimate result of which brings about the transformation of the Will. One example in scripture of this is Jesus' parable of the prodigal son, who after "going down" as far as he could go, "came to himself"- had a change of Will, which some call a "change of mind" or "heart". Actually God has some people like this "by the nose", leading them down into the pit, but they know it not. Not all have to go this way, but many do, for it's the only way their Will can be changed. This method of "letting the individual go to suffer the consequences of their own behavior", which came about through their own Will, I call "loving manipulation". Sort of like letting an individual have what they want until they get sick of it-and themselves for choosing it. Many times it leads to actual physical symptoms.
The scenario I've just described is the opposite of the subtitle of course. It is decrease or contraction, as opposed to increase/expansion, called here prosperity. One's mental state or condition is determined by the Will's "tendency". The prodigal son's Will revealed it's "tendency" in the choices he made leading to his downward spiral. He had a "tendency" to say "no" to what was good for him, and "yes" to what was bad for him. Each choice he made led him down another step into deeper darkness.
Prosperity is not making a lot of money and living in a mcmansion with 1.5 children and 3.5 cars. It is prosperity of the mind, which then flows downward to the body and outward to relationships with others. It is not "mind control", "mind over matter", or "thinking positive thoughts", or any other principle pumping activity.
A yielded Will brings "prosperity in the gates", which causes obedience, followed by health and life to the body.

Christianizing Paganism
"As long as we do it with the right intentions, or that our hearts are in the right place then that's all that matters right?" WRONG! Someone once said that "The road to hell was paved with best intentions". I couldn't agree more.
It's that time of year where all the pagan holidays are in full swing. First holloween, then Christmas, and of course all the other non-mainstream holidays as well. My son came home from Awana last week with a bag that had a mini-pumpkin inside. Attached to the bag was little poem. I can't remember it word for word, but it basically started out by praising God for the harvest season and all that he gives (in a cutsie-kind-of-way) and then starting talking about carving smiley faces into the pumkin and decorating it and putting a candle in it to show our happiness/thankfulness for what he's provided. Let me tell you, if the door hadn't have been closed it would have found itself flying at 50mph into the parking lot. WHAT ARE WE DOING???
I would say of all the holidays, that MOST christians don't celebrate holloween. It's the one holiday that is blatently pagan so it's an easy one to skip over. However, this is yet another thing of the world that we've taken and so-called "Christianized" so NOW it's ok to participate since we're doing it in the name of God. WHAT A LOAD OF BOLOGNE!!! "But as long as our heart is in the right place and we're thinking about God when we do it, doesn't that count for something?" Sure it does. It counts towards having one foot in heaven and one foot in the world which in spiritual currency amounts to a free pass to jail: do not pass heaven do not collect your mansion! It's the classic example of mixture. Is there anything more abundantly clear than that God hates mixture??
Ok. Halloween was an easy target that one is OBVIOUSLY pagan. Now what about Christmas? I mean, that one even has Christs name in it so it's gotta be ok. I know the rest of the world just worships the tree and other decorations, but we're christians so not only should we be allowed to do it, but we SHOULD do it. It's a great time to get together with family and remember Christs birth. I know he wasn't really born on December 25th, but whats wrong with a belated birthday? And yes I know we're giving presents to each other even though it's Christs birthday, but we can also give to the poor. That's giving to Christ right?
Question: So what exactly is wrong with all of the statements above?
Answer: The fact that you're trying to justify your behaviour is a sign that you have been shown the truth, but yet your traditions are more important.
I'm not going to get into the actual history of Christmas, which should be called Paganmas (obviously doesn't roll off the tongue very well, but I think it will catch on), because there are plenty of resources on the internet if you really want to know. However, here's one rule of thumb: if the world is enthralled by it RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! If the world is doing it enmass THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT!
When constantine converted all of the pagan rituals, temples, and holidays back in 300AD to so-called Christian rituals, temples, and holidays, this was the start of mainstream mixture. He didn't want to offend anybody, or make it difficult for all the pagans in his empire to convert to christianity so he CHIRSTIANIZED THEIR PAGANISM. TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO PARTAKE IN THE WAYS OF THE WORLD!! So what do we do??? We change our view of the world to make it more appealing. Wow! That sounds an awful lot like the fruit in the garden doesn't it? No one was checking out the forbidden fruit until someone pointed out that it "looked" good. It was pleasing to the eyes/feelings/emotions - EVERYTHING THE WORLD IS RULED BY! WE however ARE NOT TO BE A PART OF THIS BLASPHEME!
"But we've celebrated it all of our life so God will just "understand", right?" DON'T BE A FOOL! This mindset is so prevelant in our society. We want a god who "understands" and will come down to "our level" because it's too hard any other way. If you believe this than you are trying to create God in YOUR image.
This is not just about whether or not to celebrate holidays. This about the shephard calling his true sheep out from amongst the herd. If you hear his voice calling, then go. Leave behind all that you've known. Until we seek him and only him, we cannot enter through the gate. And we cannot enter the gate while still holding on to things of this world. I'm not suggesting going and selling all that you have and leaving it all behind, however if that's what you think I am saying it's obviously because you are tied to those things and therefore SHOULD sell all that you have. What I am saying is that until we desire all that God has promised us above and beyond all things of this world: holidays, family, belongings, job, etc. we will not enter except through the purification of fire. If this requires a drastic change in your life, or discontentment with a spouse so be it. For the reward for being true and faithful is far greater than pacifying a loved one. And who knows, perhaps those relationships while be restored to you far greater than you could have imagined.

Stop Judging Me!
How often does it happen when those around you who wallow in their sin accuse you of judging them when you haven't even opened your mouth?
The truth is that the way they are living is causing them to "feel" judged . There is no reason for me to tell them the err of their ways because they already are experiencing the penalty/judgement of their sins while they still live. However they have become so numb to it that they don't even realize what is happening. The reason they accuse you is because the voice they have learned to supress for so many years is yet again trying to speak and they begin experiencing turmoil. There is no need for me to judge because their actions are bringing upon them the due judgment.
Their refrain of "You only live once. Enjoy it while you can." or "as long as I'm not hurting anybody" is the epitomy sin: self-centerdness. This is one of the greatest lies ever told. People who live by this have no conception that the few years we live on the earth is what sets the stage for eternity. It's the focus on self. The here and now. The particular moment where if it feels good it must be good. They're are so deep in their own misery they can hardly stand being quiet even as they sleep because when your quiet the voice of conviction begins. It's so ingrained in this culture we make billions of dollars selling distractions to minimize the moments of silence. (save that for another post)
God has laid down a pattern for all aspects of life (nature, relationships, etc...) as mentioned in many posts here. Unlike the plants and animals, we have been given a choice whether or not to live out those patterns. Based on your decision you either receive blessing or cursings/judgement. This is the way life works. There is no grey area here. Again there is no need for me to outwardly condemn them or tell them they're going to hell because they are already being condemend and are living in hell on earth because of their actions/choices. This is clearly apparent by their continuous search for happiness and never being able to find it. It's an unqeuntiable thirst. It IS hell.

The Singleness Issue
A stern warning.........
Is. 40:3-5 "A voice of one crying! In the desert prepare the way of Yahweh; make smooth in the waste plain a highway for our God. Let every valley be exalted, and every mountain and hill be made low, and the steep ground become level and the chain of hills a plain; THEN SHALL BE REVEALED THE GLORY OF YAHWEH, FOR ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken".
Matthew 17:10-11 "And the disciples questioned Him saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must needs come first? And He answering said, Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things...."
Malachi 4:5-6 "Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awful Day of Yahweh; and he shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children and the heart of the children unto their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with utter destruction."
If you have come to this blog looking for writings to tickle your ears with the frosting of reason spread over the cake of emotional feel sorryism, you may as well stop here and go somewhere else. I am here to declare unto you the Heavenly Pattern of Christ. The making of that Pattern takes place within you. If you yield to the making process, you will be blessed; if you resist it, you will bring adverse consequences on yourself.
The making of the Pattern is the transformation of your mind; your way of thinking; your tendency to think and look at life a certain way. This is the "desert" and "waste plain" of the scripture passage in Isaiah quoted above. The transformation is symbolically described in that passage.
"The way of Yahweh" and "a highway for our God" is the Mind of God/Christ, "New Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven from God", and the New Creature/New Creation.
The discriptive mental attitudes that are to be transformed are described in the passage as "valley", "mountain and hill", "steep ground", and "chain of hills". The valley is "filled" or "exalted" (lifted up), mountains and hills are cut down and "made low", the steep ground is made or becomes "level", and the chain of hills is made into or becomes a "plain". These mental attitudes are built up over time by self centeredness.
Valleys are low places of self pity and/or depression/shyness, caused by the "put downs" of others, usually parents; ie, "you're no good", "you will never amount to anything", "why can't you be like____", and other forms of emotional/mental and/or physical abuse.
Mountains and hills are forms of pride which are manifested in myriads of ways; pride of accomplishment, physical prowess or appearance (vanity), intellect and on and on.
Steep ground is worldly ambition resulting from pride, leading to certain types of employment or vocations, etc.
Chain of hills speaks of the up and down of the emotions; their being connected together like a "chain" speaks of the singleness of the cause and effect-emotion.
The Spirit of Elijah is here and is at work in the earth today "preparing the way" and "restoring all things", and he does it with words that may seem harsh and are difficult to hear. The cause for this is not his words or attitude, for that is the prophet's job; the problem is THE INNER CONDITION OF THE HEARERS OR READERS. If what I say seems harsh and is difficult for you to hear, you need to go to the Father and find out why. But if you do, you had better be honest and willing to admit that YOU may be the problem and not the words you are reading.
The work of preparing/restoring sometimes requires the use of a "wrecking ball", and sometimes words of encouragement. The Spirit knows which is required and when.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The female, and when she becomes an adult, a woman, MUST ALWAYS BE UNDER MALE HEADSHIP. The idea of female singleness is Jezebelish deception. The female is to remain under her father's headship until marriage when headship is transferred to her husband. This goes completely against what the world Jezebel thinks, but that is ok, for this is the Day of her comeuppance. If you sense within yourself a resistance while reading this, it is she who is causing it. Jezebel doesn't think she needs male protection, that's why she's called Jezebel. She believes she is independent, autonomous, and can do anything a man can do. She is also deceived.
THE WOMAN WAS MADE FOR MAN, not vise versa. they are to be married and guide the house under their husband or REMAIN IN THEIR FATHER'S HOUSE WHILE THEY MINISTER TO THE LORD in one of His many capacities. THEY MUST BE STEEPED IN GRATITUDE FOR WHICHEVER HIS CHOICE FOR THEM IS. The latter is very important.
If they are not grateful to the Father, it indicates they are struggling against the role given them by the Father, which if continued in, will cause them to rebel against their earthly father or husband, thereby becoming Jezebels.
There are no exceptions to the pattern. The pattern is the pattern and is the way into life for the female. She must acknowledge this with a grateful heart and yield herself to Him Who is faithful to bring her into this path of life if she is not at present there.
To the males: He has provided wives for all.
Phil. 2:10-11"In order that in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow.....and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the Glory of God the Father."
Many confess that Jesus is Lord, but until they fulfill the role God has ordained for them, their confession of His Lordship is false.
"Not everyone that says unto me Lord!Lord! shall enter the Kingdom of the Heavens". "And why call you me Lord!Lord! and not do the things which I say? Matthew 7:21; Lk.6:46.
Is. 40:3-5 "A voice of one crying! In the desert prepare the way of Yahweh; make smooth in the waste plain a highway for our God. Let every valley be exalted, and every mountain and hill be made low, and the steep ground become level and the chain of hills a plain; THEN SHALL BE REVEALED THE GLORY OF YAHWEH, FOR ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken".
Matthew 17:10-11 "And the disciples questioned Him saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must needs come first? And He answering said, Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things...."
Malachi 4:5-6 "Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awful Day of Yahweh; and he shall bring back the heart of the fathers unto the children and the heart of the children unto their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with utter destruction."
If you have come to this blog looking for writings to tickle your ears with the frosting of reason spread over the cake of emotional feel sorryism, you may as well stop here and go somewhere else. I am here to declare unto you the Heavenly Pattern of Christ. The making of that Pattern takes place within you. If you yield to the making process, you will be blessed; if you resist it, you will bring adverse consequences on yourself.
The making of the Pattern is the transformation of your mind; your way of thinking; your tendency to think and look at life a certain way. This is the "desert" and "waste plain" of the scripture passage in Isaiah quoted above. The transformation is symbolically described in that passage.
"The way of Yahweh" and "a highway for our God" is the Mind of God/Christ, "New Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven from God", and the New Creature/New Creation.
The discriptive mental attitudes that are to be transformed are described in the passage as "valley", "mountain and hill", "steep ground", and "chain of hills". The valley is "filled" or "exalted" (lifted up), mountains and hills are cut down and "made low", the steep ground is made or becomes "level", and the chain of hills is made into or becomes a "plain". These mental attitudes are built up over time by self centeredness.
Valleys are low places of self pity and/or depression/shyness, caused by the "put downs" of others, usually parents; ie, "you're no good", "you will never amount to anything", "why can't you be like____", and other forms of emotional/mental and/or physical abuse.
Mountains and hills are forms of pride which are manifested in myriads of ways; pride of accomplishment, physical prowess or appearance (vanity), intellect and on and on.
Steep ground is worldly ambition resulting from pride, leading to certain types of employment or vocations, etc.
Chain of hills speaks of the up and down of the emotions; their being connected together like a "chain" speaks of the singleness of the cause and effect-emotion.
The Spirit of Elijah is here and is at work in the earth today "preparing the way" and "restoring all things", and he does it with words that may seem harsh and are difficult to hear. The cause for this is not his words or attitude, for that is the prophet's job; the problem is THE INNER CONDITION OF THE HEARERS OR READERS. If what I say seems harsh and is difficult for you to hear, you need to go to the Father and find out why. But if you do, you had better be honest and willing to admit that YOU may be the problem and not the words you are reading.
The work of preparing/restoring sometimes requires the use of a "wrecking ball", and sometimes words of encouragement. The Spirit knows which is required and when.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The female, and when she becomes an adult, a woman, MUST ALWAYS BE UNDER MALE HEADSHIP. The idea of female singleness is Jezebelish deception. The female is to remain under her father's headship until marriage when headship is transferred to her husband. This goes completely against what the world Jezebel thinks, but that is ok, for this is the Day of her comeuppance. If you sense within yourself a resistance while reading this, it is she who is causing it. Jezebel doesn't think she needs male protection, that's why she's called Jezebel.

A Testimony of How Important is a Life that is Laid Down
John 12 :24-25 "Verily, verily I say unto you, except the kernal of wheat shall fall into the ground and die, it alone abides; but if it die, much fruit it bears....(likewise...) He that loves his life (in this world) loses it, but he that hates his life in this world, unto life age-abiding shall keep it".
Rev. 2:10c"Become you faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life".
Rev.12:11"....and they loved not their life even unto death".
The testimony of the life of Jesus shows us how important is a life that is laid down. His life is the pattern for all of us, and is to be replicated in all of our lives. We are all meant to lay down our lives so that others might live. Because of the weakness of our flesh, God has ordained for us a way to do it which is "natural". That way is through the means of the family.
The "law of the family"; ie, the way the family is meant to operate, is according to the principle of each member laying down their life for the others. The key to the operation of the family is the "God consciousness" of the husband and wife; ie, recognizing that each of them has a certain role "to play" and the willingness to live out the role without resistance; dedicating their lives to be true husbands and true wives according to the pattern laid down in the Book.
Laying down the life is the putting aside of selfishness. Putting aside selfishness is experiencing resurrection; it is putting on immortality. Selfishness is "flesh and blood", as in "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God".
The "life in this world" quoted above in John 12 is the life lived in selfishness, which actually is not life, because true life is fruitfulness. Hence, a life of selfishness is "abiding alone" because it's focus or center of attention is ME or I, and therefore doesn't include others except so far as they can be used to further the life of ME or I.
God ordained the family to be the entity or Body to show forth His nature of selflessness and fruitbearing; fruitbearing, both physical (the creation of physical Godly seed-other humans), and spiritual (the bearing of fruits of the spirit through a unified many membered body). The family is meant to be a "picture in miniature" of the Assembly/Body of Christ, where each member lives in selflessness in their relationship with the other members. The family who lives in this manner is the fulfillment of Jesus' sayings about "salt of the earth", "light of the world", and a "city set on a hill".
The Spirit of Elijah is at work in the earth to bring this condition into manifestation even as I write this; doing the work of restoring the family to it's proper order and function. "Elijah comes first and restores all things". Salt and light cannot exist where selfishness rules and the life is not laid down. The Kingdom of God is manifested on earth through the family who is determined to live in accordance with God's way of selflessness; THEY SHOW THE MIND OF GOD IN THE EARTH.
In the family, each member puts others before themselves-selflessness. Out of this comes immortality, which when one lives in selflessness, is "put on" like a robe; another term for this is righteousness, which is "the white linen of the righteous acts of the saints". Then comes the "crown of life" which is given to those who willingly lay down their lives in selflessness-"be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life". When this is occurring, you are dwelling in heaven while simultaneously living in the physical body on earth and are a fulfillment of Rev. 12:11 in it's entirety:
"and they overcame the adversary by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by their witnessing word and THEY LOVED NOT THEIR LIFE EVEN UNTO DEATH."
The "death" is the ceasing of the operation of selfishness in the life of the individual.
Rev. 2:10c"Become you faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life".
Rev.12:11"....and they loved not their life even unto death".

The Tie That Has Yet To Be Broken
Rev. 18:4-5"And I heard another voice out of heaven saying-Come forth My people out of her (Babylon), that you may have no fellowship with her sins and of her plagues that you may not receive; because her sins were joined together as far as heaven and God has remembered her unrighteous deeds."
Many professing christians are like Lot's wife; they are tied by their emotions to Sodom (Babylon) and are unable to break free.
As written in previous posts, the emotions affect the reason/intellect and cause the individual to make unwise choices or decisions which not only adversely affect the individual, but also the family. Actions carried out by this emotion/reason/intellect process are thought by the individual to be of faith, but are not. They use statements of Jesus about being "salt" and "light" as their "prooftexts" for their decisions/choices, BUT THE FRUIT OF SAID DECISION/CHOICES PROVES THE OPPOSITE. The fruit is the stress and disorder which occurs in the individual and continues on to effect the family, particularly the children.
They "feel" they must continually "bow the knee" to the whore, beast, world system and use scripture as their excuse. Their "faith" is in the whore, but it's actually fear. They are afraid of ridicule; afraid they will lose their job. If they are a wife and mother working, they shouldn't be working outside the home in the first place, because THEIR FIRST PLACE IS IN THE HOME. Their fear leads them to submit to the whore's rules and regulations in their workplace, according to the whore's dictates, which causes them to suppress within themselves what they know to be true. This is particularly true for those professing ones who insist on staying in the whore "school" system as teachers. Many of these are female.
Who is taking care of the children of these women? Babysitters, daycare, and sometimes other family members and even husbands (another case of feminized male role reversal). Here we have in all of these a perfect example of God's order "turned on it's head". This is lawlessness, pure and simple. Lawlessness is living and making choices/decisions outside or against the "way things are ordained/designed to function". We are not talking about the ten commandments here, for Christ is the fulfillment of all that. In this case we are speaking of the "law of how the family is ordained to function"(my terminology), WHICH GOD HAS LAID DOWN AND HAS RECORDED IN A BOOK!
In this case of women teachers, (women being more emotionally oriented then men), they tend to become more attached to the children/students(mother instinct), and want to influence them for good any way they can, by "sneaking around the rules of the system". But this is in itself a form of suppressing the truth, which the adversary who has "hands on control" of the system only too well knows.
One of the main thoughts in the back of the minds of these dear sisters is, "if I quit or leave, what's going to happen to the children?" First of all, if you are married and have children of your own, GOD HAS NOT GIVEN YOU THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SOULS OF THOSE CHILDREN; YOU HAVE TAKEN IT UPON YOURSELF! Your first priority is your own family: THEY ARE YOUR MINISTRY. If your husband insists in your working outside the home and farming your children out to others, then he has become feminized and God will slap him upside the head with a spiritual two by four. Remember, we are talking to those who profess christianity here. God has given up the unbelieving nations (called the "outer court" in Rev. 11:1-2), for a certain time and they are not measured with the same standard of those who profess they are His. The unbelievers as a corporate entity are left alone to "stew in their own juices", only calling individuals out as He sees fit, and according to His divine order. A great gathering will occur "down the road".
Direct contact with the whore Babylon system-who thinks she is a "moral shepherdress" and that she is the be all and end all by whose standard all others are measured (see Rev. 18:7)- CORRUPTS ALL SHE TOUCHES AND ALL WHO TOUCH HER and allow her to control them in any way. If you do so you are marked with her mark, which means you think like her and do her bidding (the mark on the hand and forehead).
"What's the harm in it?" This is the thought of many other so called professing christians, who have become so accustomed to living in the system of this corrupt culture, that they "can't see the forest for the trees". Anyone seeing the system for what it really is and trying to point out to these blind ones what they are involved in, is accused of being intolerant, legalistic or fanatic fundamentalist. They think God has called them to "transform the culture" and "engage the culture in dialog". These folks are deceived and are in the pot on the stove with the frog and know it not. They may be delivered, but "only as by fire".

DOUBLE VISION
Job 2:10 "And Job said unto his wife, shall we receive good at the hand of God and not also evil?"
Math. 5:39a "But I tell you not to resist evil"
Math. 6:22-23 "The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light, but if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be in the dark; if therefore the light which is in you is darkness, how great the darkness!"
Double vision is the cause of most professing christians' "little faith". Double vision is the "evil eye" of the above passage in Math. 6. Double vision is seeing good AND evil.
The normal function of human eyes is to see as one; for the two physical eyes to focus on one thing. In the Math. 6 passage, Jesus is using a physical truth to teach a spiritual truth. He is saying, if you want to live in the peace that is the Kingdom of God, you must learn the truth of the "single eye". In the passage Jesus uses the single eye as an opposite to what He calls the "evil eye". Both are "ways of looking at things". The way one looks at things affects one's behavior and choices or decision making.
__________________________________________________________
It is the will of God that His children "leave the land of double vision" where some things are good and some things are evil, and enter "the New Land" of the Kingdom of God, WHERE ALL THINGS ARE GOOD, for you are not yet His True child until you do; YOU MUST LEARN TO SEE AS HE SEES IN ORDER TO LIVE AS HE LIVES, IN THE PEACE OF HIS KINGDOM.
At present, many professing ones are living in bodies like those whose two physical eyes are each "going in two different directions", which in the natural is not normal. It is also not spiritual. Ultimately, it is living according to "flesh". It is making decisions and choices based on what one sees just like Eve in the garden, when in actuality everything is to be done by faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God, and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Christians are not to be "moved" by the negative. They are not to make decisions in their individual lives or the lives of their families based on the "evil" they see in the world around them, BUT UPON FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO WHAT THE LORD TELLS THEM ONLY.
For example. The problem: "The government schools are so corrupt, we have to take our children out of them and home school them". Answer: You should already have been teaching them at home based on faith and obedience to many, many scripture passages WHICH REVEAL GOD'S MIND ON THE MATTER.
The problem: "My wife and I both have to work and can't do the above because we need both incomes in order to survive in this world". Answer: Your wife should already be the "keeper at home" IN FAITH AND OBEDIENCE TO THE SCRIPTURE WHICH REVEALS GOD'S MIND ON THE MATTER. Your real problem is you believe the "evil" the world says, instead of God, and when you do that, you WILL need 2 incomes to survive, plus be able to maintain your yuppie mcmansion filled with stuff.
The problem: "Our food supply has been corrupted and chemicalized by big agribusinesses who have put the small farm out of business; our food we get in the store is processed and has unhealthy junk in it and the fruits and vegetables don't taste the way they used to, so we decided it might be best if we move to the country or rural area or small town where we can have some acreage and grow our own food and have animals for milk and meat". Answer: Faith says you can live wherever you want because IF YOU ARE THANKFUL TO THE ONE WHO SUPPLIES YOUR FOOD, EVEN IF IT'S A COCKROACH SANDWICH, HE BLESSES IT SO THAT IT NOURISHES AND IS HEALTH TO YOUR BODY. Jesus said, why are you worried about your food, water, clothing and shelter? DON'T BE MOVED BECAUSE OF WHAT THE ADVERSARY BLATHERS THROUGH THE MEDIA-you should have stopped paying attention to him and his mouthpieces a long time ago; him and his "60 minutes" and "20/20's", and all the other hoohah he puts out through his pipe organs.
The beast system of this world is designed so that the christian can overcome it. You are not going to overcome it by watching it's blind foolishness and listening to it's lying blather, GIVING IT THE ATTENTION IT CRAVES. The adversary looooooves attention, for to him it is worship.
How do you overcome? BY FAITH. Faith shuts it's ears to the fear preachers (some in pulpits), with microphones in their mouth and cameras in their faces. If you haven't cut the cable or satellite umbilical cord yet, you need to do so if you can't resist watching and hearing all the crap that comes through it. Unless you have the inner strength to watch the infinitesimal few programs that are worth watching, and them only. (Remember Jesus' admonition about cutting out the "eye that offends you"?) Even nature programs are full of doomsday crap and tree hugger propaganda. News? Forget it!
Your faith must be expanded to include everything in life. This faith expansion goes "hand in hand" with an inner change in character where double vision falls away and you see and EMBRACE EVERYTHING AS COMING FROM THE HAND OF GOD, NOT JUST "GOOD" THINGS.
When the latter occurs in your life you are seeing with the single eye and your whole being shall be full of light. Whereas before, you were schizophrenic-living in two conditions of being- now within yourself "you have made the two, one, and have broken down the middle wall of partition, the enmity" which had separated you from TRUE CONTINUOUS FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.
When you have a divided outlook, you are living in the duality of good and evil. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he, You become what you see. You will never have close continuous fellowship with God as long as you live with the inner division.
What Jesus meant when He said, "if the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!", is, when you live in duality with the "evil eye", seeing good and evil, even the good which you see is evil, so you have double darkness; ie, great evil in you. You are allowing the evil to move you, responding to the fear it brings emotionally and it thereby affects your reason and understanding. It causes you to make choices and decisions in response to it. It "makes dark"; poisons everything it touches, by deceiving you into thinking it is faith.
When your vision is transformed corresponding with the widening of your faith to include ALL OF LIFE, then you are on the HIGH WAY. Actually, you are a HIGH WAY FORM; a NEW SPECIES OF BEING THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE. This is what the New Creation/New Creature means.
In this condition you have ceased making choices and family decisions based on reason/intellect effected by fear controlled emotion. You then become an individual part of the fulfillment of Rev. 7:14-17 and Rev. 18 (the whole chapter). You have ceased "buying" the Babylonish beast's "stuff": "and the merchants of the earth (purveyors of fear based merchandise) wheep and grieve over her (Babylon), BECAUSE THEIR CARGO NO ONE BUYS ANYMORE....." (Rev. 18:11)
Math. 5:39a "But I tell you not to resist evil"
Math. 6:22-23 "The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light, but if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be in the dark; if therefore the light which is in you is darkness, how great the darkness!"
Double vision is the cause of most professing christians' "little faith". Double vision is the "evil eye" of the above passage in Math. 6. Double vision is seeing good AND evil.
The normal function of human eyes is to see as one; for the two physical eyes to focus on one thing. In the Math. 6 passage, Jesus is using a physical truth to teach a spiritual truth. He is saying, if you want to live in the peace that is the Kingdom of God, you must learn the truth of the "single eye". In the passage Jesus uses the single eye as an opposite to what He calls the "evil eye". Both are "ways of looking at things". The way one looks at things affects one's behavior and choices or decision making.

The problem: "Our food supply has been corrupted and chemicalized by big agribusinesses who have put the small farm out of business; our food we get in the store is processed and has unhealthy junk in it and the fruits and vegetables don't taste the way they used to, so we decided it might be best if we move to the country or rural area or small town where we can have some acreage and grow our own food and have animals for milk and meat". Answer: Faith says you can live wherever you want because IF YOU ARE THANKFUL TO THE ONE WHO SUPPLIES YOUR FOOD, EVEN IF IT'S A COCKROACH SANDWICH, HE BLESSES IT SO THAT IT NOURISHES AND IS HEALTH TO YOUR BODY. Jesus said, why are you worried about your food, water, clothing and shelter? DON'T BE MOVED BECAUSE OF WHAT THE ADVERSARY BLATHERS THROUGH THE MEDIA-you should have stopped paying attention to him and his mouthpieces a long time ago; him and his "60 minutes" and "20/20's", and all the other hoohah he puts out through his pipe organs.
The beast system of this world is designed so that the christian can overcome it. You are not going to overcome it by watching it's blind foolishness and listening to it's lying blather, GIVING IT THE ATTENTION IT CRAVES. The adversary looooooves attention, for to him it is worship.
How do you overcome? BY FAITH. Faith shuts it's ears to the fear preachers (some in pulpits), with microphones in their mouth and cameras in their faces. If you haven't cut the cable or satellite umbilical cord yet, you need to do so if you can't resist watching and hearing all the crap that comes through it. Unless you have the inner strength to watch the infinitesimal few programs that are worth watching, and them only. (Remember Jesus' admonition about cutting out the "eye that offends you"?) Even nature programs are full of doomsday crap and tree hugger propaganda. News? Forget it!
Your faith must be expanded to include everything in life. This faith expansion goes "hand in hand" with an inner change in character where double vision falls away and you see and EMBRACE EVERYTHING AS COMING FROM THE HAND OF GOD, NOT JUST "GOOD" THINGS.
When the latter occurs in your life you are seeing with the single eye and your whole being shall be full of light. Whereas before, you were schizophrenic-living in two conditions of being- now within yourself "you have made the two, one, and have broken down the middle wall of partition, the enmity" which had separated you from TRUE CONTINUOUS FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.
When you have a divided outlook, you are living in the duality of good and evil. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he, You become what you see. You will never have close continuous fellowship with God as long as you live with the inner division.
What Jesus meant when He said, "if the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!", is, when you live in duality with the "evil eye", seeing good and evil, even the good which you see is evil, so you have double darkness; ie, great evil in you. You are allowing the evil to move you, responding to the fear it brings emotionally and it thereby affects your reason and understanding. It causes you to make choices and decisions in response to it. It "makes dark"; poisons everything it touches, by deceiving you into thinking it is faith.
When your vision is transformed corresponding with the widening of your faith to include ALL OF LIFE, then you are on the HIGH WAY. Actually, you are a HIGH WAY FORM; a NEW SPECIES OF BEING THAT NEVER EXISTED BEFORE. This is what the New Creation/New Creature means.
In this condition you have ceased making choices and family decisions based on reason/intellect effected by fear controlled emotion. You then become an individual part of the fulfillment of Rev. 7:14-17 and Rev. 18 (the whole chapter). You have ceased "buying" the Babylonish beast's "stuff": "and the merchants of the earth (purveyors of fear based merchandise) wheep and grieve over her (Babylon), BECAUSE THEIR CARGO NO ONE BUYS ANYMORE....." (Rev. 18:11)

The Translation Wars
Rom. 14:1 "Him that is weak in the faith, receive you, but not for disputing opinions".
2Tim. 2:14" Of these things be putting them in remembrance, adjuring them before God not to be waging word battles, useful for nothing, occasioning a subversion of them that hearken".
They who engage in translation wars-which translation is THE Word of God or which one is "closer to the originals"-are showing themselves to be weak in faith, while thinking in their own mind that they are the mature spiritual ones who are "contending for the faith once delivered to the saints". They are mistaken. They are actually causing others more weak than themselves to stumble, causing them to think what translation one uses makes one "closer to God". This is the "occasioning a subversion of them that hearken" in the above passage.
Many will not be able to hear this, but if you have the capacity to receive it, then receive it: GOD FITS IN ALL VERSIONS except the more blatant present day ones which have removed gender for the sake of the "translators" own corrupt image of Who God is.
The adherents of the KJV say it is THE Word of God and all other translations are false. They are mistaken. However, God's grace toward them is sufficient for them, but if they engage in translation word battles with others who do not see it their way, GOD IS NOT IN IT, they are on their own.
Some of those engaged in this warfare have acid tongues and resort to calling their opponents by derogatory names. An "acid" tongue can be used in a "good war". Psalms 2:4 and Proverbs 1:26 speak of God mocking certain individuals. When He mocks, He uses a human mouthpiece, such as Elijah mocking the prophets of Baal. So, mockery and sarcasm have their place, but not in translation battles, and not against true brothers and sisters.
They who are strong in faith must bear with the weaker ones by not being dragged into their unnecessary disputations; special days, weeks, foods, various do's and dont's, and which bible translation is best.

Because Prayer Will Be A Full Time Job
Making trouble? A "landfrontation".
1 Thess. 5:17 " Unceasingly pray"
1 Kings 5:17-18 "And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah that Ahab said unto him, Are you he that is troubling Israel? And Elijah said, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father (have troubled it), in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh and followed Baal"
Pro 2:21-22 "For the upright shall abide on the land and the blameless shall remain therein; but the lawless out of the land shall be cut off, and traitors shall be torn away therefrom".
Praying without ceasing is a matter of character. It has nothing to do with voicing words of supplication and entreaty continuously. It is who one IS, not what one does. This is the truth of christianity- BEING, not doing. One's life is prayer.
As a person of character is of the Spirit, his influence on others is greater- more wide spread over an earthly area- then would be by normal human contact and/or with his words.
He whose life is prayer and is of Spirit, is an earthly "troublemaker". His "troublemaking" is not his fault, but the fault of those whose lives do not "line up" with the Spirit by whom he lives. It is they who experience a "troubling disturbance" in their own lives, not him.
They are "Ahabs" who are married to "trouser wearing Jezebels" that must be corrected, for they are not children of the true God, but are "children of a lesser god", represented by "Baal" in the above passage.
The "Ahab/Jezebel combo"is representative of what is occurring in this age in present day professing "christianity", which of course has nothing to do with True Christianity. These are they "who say they are Jews and are not" described in Rev.2:9, 3:9;the Jezebel/Baalim ones of Rev.2:14,20-23 and they who "have a name that they are alive, but are dead",of Rev. 3:1.
These are the lawless ones and traitors who "claim to live on the land", who, if they don't repent will be cut off and torn away from even what they claim to have, notwithstanding the fact that their claims are bogus in the first place. The "land" referred to is God's Kingdom. Only the blameless dwell in the "land" of the Kingdom.
Math.13:12 "For whosoever has, it shall be given to him and he shall be made to abound, but whosoever has not, even what he (thinks) he has shall be taken from him."
1 Thess. 5:17 " Unceasingly pray"
1 Kings 5:17-18 "And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah that Ahab said unto him, Are you he that is troubling Israel? And Elijah said, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father (have troubled it), in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh and followed Baal"

NOT A SOFTENED ATTITUDE
Ps. 50:21b "You thought I should really be like yourself."
In this Laodicean age, man is saying, "Let us make God in our image, after our likeness".
They have rejected the true God and are in the process of making a new one more in tune with their own liking; according to what they think he should be like. They particularly don't like the idea or doctrine/teaching of what is known as "hell".
They spend their lifetime with that word on their lips, casting others into it, and telling others to go there, but don't like it when someone says," if they don't straighten up, God is going to CAST THEM INTO IT". They cannot abide the idea of an "eternal torment". In their blind ignorance of spiritual truth, they cannot understand what "eternal" is; that it is actually the spirit dimension that exists intermingled with this time dimension. Neither do they understand that an individual's condition or state of being in this life at the time of his departure from the physical body DETERMINES HIS PLACEMENT IN THE "ETERNAL DIMENSION".
If one lives his whole life in selfishness, feeding the flesh and consummed with the things of this life and departs his body in that condition, he will have PLACED HIMSELF ON THE SPIRITUAL LEVEL IN THE ETERNAL DIMENSION, EQUAL TO THAT SAME CONDITION. NO ONE "CASTS" HIM THERE, HE PUTS HIMSELF-CASTS HIMSELF THERE!
The spirit realm or "eternity" has multitudinous "levels" or "stages" and these "go" from the lowest, which is deep darkness, to the highest, which is the brightest light. The levels or stages are equal to the states or conditions of being that one goes through or lives in, in this realm of time.
The "place" called "hell" is not a realm of literal fire or flames like we know of in this life. It is the realm of darkness. When one spends his life fulfilling the desires of the flesh and leaves the body and is escorted to the level in the dark realm which corresponds to his earthly condition, he still will have desires, but will be unable to fulfill them or satisfy them, hence the "burning" or "fire"experience in his spirit body.
The feminized men of today cannot understand how a "loving" God could cast someone into a place of eternal torment, let alone even have such a place. They are deceived by their Jezebelish emotion controlled intellect/reason. Oh! Excuse me! I'd forgotten that today's more enlightened navel gazers have a more advanced understanding of God and His purposes than the 2000 years of simple believers had. So.....I see. My eyes have been opened.....You can live any way you want (I guess that includes Hitler?), and when you leave your physical body, God/Jesus welcomes you with open arms because He's sooooooo loving, and because He's sooooooo loving, He forgives everyone no matter what they've done in this life. I guess He has to, because we all know there is no such thing as a place of torment, right?
The way these Jezebelish girly men think, you would think God has "gotten soft in His old age". No....He's the same as He always has been. He hasn't changed and His attitude toward rebellious humanity hasn't softened, no matter how much soft brained humans think so.
Yes, God has forgiven all sin because it all was placed on His Dear Son the Lord Jesus. So it is possible because of that to live a sin free life in this dimension of time. BUT THERE IS A COST REQUIRED FOR ALL THOSE WHO WOULD ENTER THAT LIFE EXPERIENCE AND ONLY FEW ARE PREPARED TO PAY IT.
If there is no condition of torment in eternity for those who have tormented, stepped on and shed the blood of others in this life, then of what purpose is it to live a holy and righteous life on this plane of existence? Why all the New Testament encouragement to live holy and righteously? If there is no torment in darkness to avoid, then why not "eat, drink and be merry?".
Joe Blow, who lives down the street is a wife beater and child abuser. He is killed in a confrontation with police. He enters the spirit world-the eternal world- and is told everything is ok, all is forgiven, enter into the joy of the Lord????????????????
