My Lord:
Not the Lords obedience imputed, but your own obedience must be fulfilled. When? After Christ returns or now in this present world? Clearly it is now in this present world.
2 Corinthians 10:6, " And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. "
There will be nothing for you to revenge once the Lord returns... Then it will be to late for them who have denied the Truth. Who have denied the faith, the true faith that works by love and is proven by deeds, also known as Faithful Obedience...
Songs of Solomon 2:1, " I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Songs of Solomon 2:2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Songs of Solomon 2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Songs of Solomon 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. "
You can not help others after Christ comes, you can not fulfill your obedience after Christ returns. You must do so now, so you can judge righteously, so you can help others turn from wickedness. Showing that it is possible through Christ to GO and Sin No More. It is possible to do what He said to do, possible to call Him Lord and obey Him. Possible to be righteous through obedience out of love. Possible to define love beyond just saying the word, or professing that God is Love without expressing. Able to express what love is when asked, in words and deeds. To show forth the standard set by the Lord Jesus whose mercy endures forever. Praise ye all the Lord, magnify His Name, in works, by the fruit of thine lips, a living sacrifice. Sounds like an oxymoron, yet it is the absolute Truth. Alive and yet sacrificed to the Lord God Almighty.
The banner of love that was over Christ as He say under the shadow of God. Same banner to be flown by all that love the Father and the Son, walking in the Spirit and not the flesh. Yes we are alive in a body of flesh but we do not live for the lust of the flesh as some. There is no condemnation to them that WALK IN THE SPIRIT and not the flesh. For them that walk in the flesh they are condemned. Love does not spare anyone but utterly slays all. The standard set, the banner flown, the sign seen, I will obey from the heart, my hearts desire is obedience unto righteousness and not sin unto death.
Romans 8:1, " There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. "
To be carnally minded, they who walk after the lust of the flesh are condemned, it is death. To the spiritually minded it is life without being condemned.
Romans 8:6, " For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. "
Isaiah 58:1, " Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. "
Proverbs 19:18, " Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. "
Love does not fail, I will out of love Go and Sin No More. By the Grace of God whom is love, grace that teaches the same thing that taught Christ. Christ ate of the butter and the honey to know to refuse the evil and to choose the good. This same sweet savor taught by the Grace of God to all, is the same butter and honey that Christ ate of. Teaching all to deny ungodliness and worldly lust and to live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world. Perfected through suffering, humbled by obedience. True love is just as all of it is, obedient. You can not truly love if you do not obey the Law of Love, God being Love, and Love is faithful absolute. For God makes not an oath and keeps it not, He is ever faithful, sure, true, just, and all His ways are judgement, mercy and righteous. Doing what is right does not fail. Grace is not a magic cover for sins, it is a cover of understanding that coverts, builds, bears quality's, contents that effect the soul of them that know godly sorrow found only in repentance, Grace is a cover by teaching, not a fig leaf to hide behind, to pervert by them who do not cease from sin.
1 Corinthians 13:8, " Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. "
Titus 2:11, " For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; "
Isaiah 7:15, " Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. "
Hebrews 2:10, " For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. "
Philippians 2:8, " And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. "
Eat of the Truth and you will know to, what is right, for they who do righteousness are righteous even as Christ is righteous. Not imputed, but they who do. One will know to refuse evil and choose good, will understand what Christ said, "deny thyself, take up thine own cross and follow Me". To deny the flesh the lust thereof, deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. Will know by the teaching of grace how one ought to live, to be sober, grave, sincere, trusty, faithful, righteous, obedient, true, godly, holy, obeying from the heart the doctrine of God, the teaching of God by grace ye are saved through faith, through faithfulness. All of it speaks of obedience no matter the word chosen, in the end of it all it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. For all who remain shall eat of the Truth and shall obey it from the heart, out of love. The desire of thine heart shall He give thee who delight in Him. They whom delight in Him obey Him, for the humble, which is learned through obedience, receive the desires of their hearts who wants to hear, to know the Truth.
The first act of obedience is Seek and Repent... First act of being humble is Repent...
Isaiah 7:22, " And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land. "
Psalms 10:17, " LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: "
The gift of God, He gave His only begotten Son to die upon the cross. It was a work no man could of ever done, for the sacrifice had to be without spot. It could not of been done by ourselves, truly it is a gift of God. An those who trample His blood underfoot so they can say things like, "it can not be a gift if I have to do anything", they are of the devil. How subtle and sweet to the ear is a filthy lie? For the new covenant is expressed as a "will", to which requirements were assigned to it. The testator had to die before it could go into effect and they who are to inherit what it contained have to "DO" what is written in it, to receive the gift that God gave through His only begotten Son.
Ephesians 2:8, " For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: "
Hebrews 9:14. " How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
A "will and testament" has no power while the testator liveth!!!
One must first seek the Truth, then they must upon acknowledging the Truth, obey the Command of God who calls all men to Repent. Then by the faith that establishes the Law in them, they will truly desire to Go and Sin No More, from the heart which contains the very Law of God, whom is Love. It will be taught through the Holy Ghost that stewards are to be faithful, it is a requirement, a Law, a Commandment. It is a requirement of all who Name the Name of Christ to depart from iniquity, it is Law, it is a Commandment. It is required of all whom love Him to keep the Commandments, it is Law, it is a Commandment. It is required of them that call Him Lord, Lord, to obey Him that whom they call Lord or why call Him Lord?
1 Corinthians 4:2, " Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. "
I was saved weeks before my death from hell. Yet until I have endured my race to the very end, I have not received my crown that is laid up for me. The gift that is in the testament of the testator is not received until I finish my race. The gift of God through His Son is laid up in a will and until I meet the requirements of that will and testament, I will not receive what is written in it. For the testament has power, for the testator, whom was without spot, did die for our sins.
I could turn back from God, it is not irresistible, yet there is nothing like it, nothing to be compared to it that could truly, fully explain it. I am free to choose, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness even now. No man can take this from me, for no man gave it to me. No man can take me from His love. No man can take me out of His hand. Again, I and only I can choose to turn from His Love. I can choose to step out of His hand. I can deny Him, no man can deny Him for me. No creature in all the world can deny the Truth for me. The Love of God is not unconditional, for there is no such love that bears not a condition and deep within the heart all know it to be true. God has made His conditions clear, if you love Him, you must prove it and obey Him. It is not difficult to understand that, it is so simple anyone can understand it. The will and testament demand it, require it, it is Law, it is a Commandment of the testator. He who shed His blood for us, written in that blood, forgiveness, the purging of dead works and to them that endure till the end, salvation everlasting.
Hosea 9:12, " Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! "
Romans 8:39, " Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. "
John 10:28, " And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. "
Romans 5:8, " But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. "
Commend - to entrust for care or preservation, to show, prove, establish, exhibit...
He showed us proof of His love towards us and calls all men to Repent, many are called and few are chosen. Many find the broad way to destruction and few find the narrow and straight Way to Life. For God loves them that love Him and they that love Him, they who have the banner of love over them are they that bear the mark of God. Yes, we love Him because He loved us first, He gave His Son for us all. but to keep that, maintain that, there is requirements, there is a will and testament proving it, there is a book of the Lord that explains it. This simply Truth that love has conditions is tortured into false images of the wicked who desire God to love them just as they are. How dare God put a requirement upon them, how unjust, unequal, unfair of God to do such a thing. All of this is written in the book of the Lord and yet hidden from the hearts of the wicked.
Proverbs 8:17, " I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. "
Ezekiel 18:25, " Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? "
Ezekiel 18:29, " Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? "
Ezekiel 33:17, " Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. "
Ezekiel 33:20, " Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. "
God does not love an abomination, He expressed His love to save us from such a thing, but if that love is not obeyed, then the Law that separates Him from sin, divides those who sin from Him. It can not be, for God is absolutely just and faithful. He does not break an oath, ever! He does not forsake, ever. He loves them that follow after righteousness, Christ was the righteous example set to follow. As Christ said, "they who love Me, the Father loves". These words are absolute proof and they should cement in all who read them the Truth of faithful love being required. That obedience must be fulfilled.
Psalms 11:7, " For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. "
Psalms 33:5, " He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. "
Proverbs 15:9, " The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. "
1 John 3:10, " In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. "
Again, full circle we have traveled. What is love, keeping the Commandments, walking in them, they who love Christ fly the banner of love, stand under the shadow of it and they who have the Commandments AND KEEPETH THEM, they are the ones who truly love the Lord Jesus whose mercy endures forever. They who love Jesus are loved by His Father.
Again, it is always the worker, the doer and not the hearer only. No matter how you slice it, where you start, the Truth is the same. Just like the mandelbrot set images. I used to love looking into them and they mesmerized, how can this be? No matter where or what piece, the whole of the image remained, complete, perfect and clear. This to me testifies of the Truth, all creation testifies of God always. Since finding the Lord, I do not marvel so much of mandelbrot sets, if at all, they are means to express the message, for all my joy is in the Truth of the Lord Jesus whom saved me weeks before I was to die. Without knowing Him and being forgiven and purged of dead works. Without having Repented, but I heard the knock, I sought Him, I believed, I acknowledged the Truth and I Repented in a way that makes me cry even now. How could I have ever known the Truth of it all but I was allowed by the Lord to see it. For it is he who opens the hearts and minds, He who softens the hearts or hardens them. All the praise is to God the Father and the Son.
Proverbs 15:9, " The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. "
John 14:21, " He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. "
Luke 24:45 , " Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, "
Acts 16:14, " And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. "
John 6:44, " No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. "
Isaiah 50:5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. "
Luke 24:16, " But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. "
Luke 24:31, " And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. "
Luke 24:32, " And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? "
The free gift that costs is locked inside the testament of a will. Like most wills there are stipulations applied to it. One can make up whatever one likes when they write their will. One must reach a certain age to receive it, must finish school, get married, etc and so on. Yet the gift inside that testament does not cease to be a gift because one has to meet a standard set by the testator. Yet this is exactly what many profess teach, and I have quoted the very words of them many times and I quote them again, " It can not be a gift if I had to do anything for it "... This is the mind set of a wicked heart indeed, no matter how much outwardly they give the appearance of godliness, the deny the power of it in words and WORKS, DEEDS, ACTIONS. You will know them by their fruit.
Name the Name of the Lord Jesus and depart from iniquity, be faithful. For love is faithful unto death. Loves eye is single, it looks not to another, seeks not another, desires not another. Love is filled with contents, quality's, virtue, from faith to love and all that is in the middle that makes love effectual, proven.
2 Timothy 2:19, " Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. "
2 Peter 1:3, " According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: "
Virtue - effectual, operation, fact of state of being...
Just keep saying it, keep going over it and over it, meditate on the Truth no matter what they say. How does one become perfect, complete, clear, which simply said is obedient? Obeying. When they say none can obey, none can keep, none can maintain, then how will anyone ever fulfill their obedience? How can anyone love Jesus Christ and not obey Him? They can't by the very Word of God Almighty, by the very lamp upon thy feet, the book of the Lord, they can not love Him and rebel against Him. They who love Jesus, the Father loves them. Just another condition set upon love and God is Love. When they teach that no one can obey Him, they are saying without any doubt at all, no matter how great their outward appearance is of loving Jesus, they are saying they do not love Him (fruit) (fruit of thine lips) (by their own MOUTHS they will be judged, known), and that no one can love Him. For to love Him is to obey Him and if none obey Him none love Him. They say none need to obey Him, then they are saying none need love Him. Every standard of God is broken, every requirement of true love turned upside down to fit the filthy image of corruptible man. Next time someone tells you that you can not keep the Commandments of God, you be ready to give the right answer, yes you can, and that they who say such foolish things, do not love Him. So no they can not obey Him from the heart, for their hearts do not love Him. You are a servant to whom ye obey and they who obey not God have only one other to obey and to love, the devil.
The more one reads, studies, searches out of the book of the Lord for themselves they find that all the commandments of men, all the traditions, all the inventions, the fables, all the foolishness handed down over and over, is complete fabrication of vain imaginations. Literally they are fairy tales, fables, utter foolishness, worthy to be tossed in the the trash. They contradict the Truth at ever turn and yet men fall over themselves to obey the commandments of men, to speak well of the false prophets, heaping upon themselves destruction through the many teachers who sell provisions, who hide the Way to the Truth to have Life everlasting and to be kept from hell everlasting. They love to have it so, just as it is written. Prophesy lies unto me and the people do say amen!
Jeremiah 5:31, " The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? "
They despise the LAW and they are known by their own mouths, they boast of their hearts desires just as the wicked do, they make void the Law and they do error. They boast proudly, I will do what I want to do. It is not a gift if I have to do anything. No one can obey Him. No one can keep the Commandments. No one need to keep, maintain, be a doer of anything. It is not with your all, all is not required of no one. No matter the lie the invent, buy, sell, share, if you truly listen to them, they are always offering liberty, license, freedom in corruption.
Psalms 10:3, " For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. "
Amos 2:4. " Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: "
How do these that preach and teach that men are born sinners, that they can never cease from sin or obey from the heart the Commandments of God, reconcile ever fulfilling ones obedience? That none can help another till they do fulfill their obedience? You must first remove the beam from your own eye, before you can help remove the speck from thy brothers. You can not take revenge against sin until you have fulfilled your obedience. You can not love the Lord until you fulfill your obedience, you can not obey Him from the heart till you acknowledge the whole Truth. How can all these professed be helping anyone if they themselves do not obey? They can not love the Lord, how is it they love you? One can not revenge all the evil that is in the world but by obeying first themselves, and then, helping others to do the same. Just like them that preach and teach about freewill but tell you that you are born to sin, born in sin, that original sin (Eve), which is not original sin, it was when satan thought himself better than God, but never mind the Truth. How does one speak of free will and yet having no freewill, being born to sin? You can not have free will and born to sin. You can not have free will and be totally depraved. Total depravity is nonsense, God hath made all men upright. It ca not be both ways. You can not be made upright and born to sin, totally depraved. It can not be irresistible and yet resisted. None of what they sell is worthy of touching, throw it into the trash where garbage belongs. What does the Truth tell us of them that are double minded? They will receive nothing from God, they are UNSTABLE in all their ways. Not some of their ways but all of their ways!
Romans 6:17, " But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. "
You can not be free from sin and free to sin. You can not be freed from bondage of sin and remain bound to sin. It is either one or the other.
James 1:8, " A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. "
Which is it, "YE WERE THE SERVANTS OF SIN" or born to sin. The filthy lies of Martian Luther handed down and they even named a building after him (love to speak well of the false), and he himself professed to NEVER HAVE loved God. Utterly, wholly, proving they love to speak well of the false. Proving that one can do many wonderful works and not cease from iniquity and to have NEVER been know of the Lord or loved Him.
Did Christ get it all wrong or did the foolishness of man?
John 8:34 , " Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. "
If you sin you are a slave, servant, bound, in bondage to sin, for the righteous DO NOT sin. So then we see the provision made, none are righteous "ever". It has to be this way for them who can not cease from sin. There must be a fairy tale to tell, a fable to share, a provision made. Never mind the verses that speak of none being righteous or seeking after God start out clearly speaking of them that DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, who say there is no God. They are called fools who speak such foolishness. It never speaks of the born again in this manner, a saint of God in this manner, the pure in this manner, the righteous in this manner. It only speaks of them that either out right deny God or pretend to know Him. To the impure/unpure nothing can be pure. No can be righteous, but they are all self righteous. I have heard them say it of someone who is doing all they can to obey the Commandments. They would rather tear them down then build them up.
Psalms 14:1, " The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. "
Psalms 53:1, " The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. "
Romans 3 speaking of them that are not righteous, no not one of them, NONE SEEK AFTER GOD. Does this sound like it is speaking of born again saints who have received the new heart, or them that never have known the Truth or them that pretend to know? Was Paul or Peter righteous sinning saints of God? Or were they born again saints who obeyed from the heart and went and sinned no more? Did Paul bring his body into subjection or was he unable? Which is it? it can not be both. Paul said he did, I have no doubt Peter did like wise. Yet all one hears of the professed is how no one can bring their bodies into subjection, they just have to wait till the Lord comes and does it for them, yet they said He already did do it for them. Which is it? At every turn you find contradictions in what they say, sell, offer.
Heaven is not filled with sinners, it can not be, for if we are crucified with Christ that man is dead and a new man has been risen. This new man will be the man found in heaven "IF" that man endures till the end, for that man and no other man receives the crown until they have run the race first. Find me a born again saint of God who does not even seek after God or has no understanding and I will never speak again of the testimony God gave me. Never mind the next seven verses which "the many" apply to them that are supposedly born again, even themselves, professing to be born again lovers of Truth, yet they none seek after God? What is this foolishness? Find me a man of God, a true man of God, that has NO UNDERSTANDING.
Romans 3:10, " As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. "
I will say it again, when I died and was told I could stay or go. In that moment, I could feel it as sure as I have ever felt or known anything, that "NONE" new the Lord. I can not say if that meant the world or just those around me. I can not know what I was not given to know, nor will I add to it what I do not know. I can only say what I was given. I felt that "NONE" knew Him. In that moment I knew I had to stay, not just for them that I loved but for the Lord. I knew it would please Him, even though all I wanted was and is to be free of this world and back in the presence of the Lord. I will never forget that moment, it took all of a second if that to say within myself, "NO". "NO" as meaning that I would not go but stay, I wanted to warn my wife and my mother and all the Lord would allow me to warn. I say it again, who can imagine what it is like to have this placed upon them? Who could imagine being told "NONE" know God Almighty. My mother shared scriptures with me all my life and I ignored 99% of it. Yet here I am, I was a filthy man saved truly by the grace of God from hell, for I was weeks from dying and going to hell. I had never done any service to God, never shared any real Truth (Christ crucified and resurrected). Now I have to tell my wife and mother and many others whom say they know the Truth but I am told they know it not at all.
When I here Paul say "remember my bonds, my chains" it makes me cry. Bear the weight of the chains that tell you that "NONE" know the Lord. Bear the weight of the chains that you have been shown what it is like to be separated from the Lord completely and the horror of it, hell it is, far worse then anyone could ever imagine it to be. That you now know people are going to experience this horror and not for a single second, but for an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord. Imagine the chains that binds this upon you? Yet I rejoice nonetheless in the Truth and yet I mourn, I sigh, I cry, I bear the mark and the word "bear" is fitting, the word chain is right.
Bear - To support; to sustain; as, to bear a weight or burden. To carry; to convey; to support and remove from place to place; as, 'they bear him upon the shoulder; ', 'the eagle beareth them on her wings. Something difficult to do or deal with.
Chain - Bondage; affliction. Bondage; slavery. To fasten, bind or connect with a chain; to fasten or bind with any thing in the manner of a chain. Something that confines, restrains, or secures.
A chain to bare:
Ecclesiastes 1:18, " For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. "
A weight to be counted, a cost.
At every turn you hear contradiction after contradiction. Make no provisions for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof and then all one ever hears about is provisions for never being able to obey from the heart the doctrine received of God Almighty. All one hears is how NO ONE truly loves Him, but are always professing they do with their lips. Which is it one must ask? Is it make no provisions or is it make as many as needed to justify ones lack of ability to obey? Is it "Gods will be done" or is it "I am going to do what I want to do", or, as many will recognize, "do what thy wilt"? Is it make no images or is it make as many as you like? (they even kiss these filthy images as if they were real), it is utterly mind destroying to try and understand how one can profess the Lord God Almighty to be their true love and yet do everything and anything but obey Him and His commandments. To be worn down by them, to be constantly made sad by them, to have to watch as so many run full speed to enter into the gates of hell. To always hear the temptation they offer, it grows old. It is a wonder that Jeremiah ever found time to cease from weeping. How do any of us find the time to not weep?
Kissing statues, speaking to wood and stone. Utter abominations in the eyes of God and yet they do not even blush of doing it. Imagine how far from the Truth one must be to make an image of wood or stone or metal or anything and speak to it, kiss it, worship it as if it had power to do anything. Not just outwardly but inwardly as well, to take up a vain imagination, an idea, a lie and look to it to be God. Utter foolishness and yet this day most do this thing, if not almost all.
Habakuk 2:19, " Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. "
Is it, judged by ones works or is it that filthy lie of, it is all worked out for you already? [Is it obey or is it all obeyed for you? Is it just have faith or is it a faith that is faithful, single in eye, loyal, a faith that is filled with virtue? Is it just believe or is it obeying that which one believes in through suffering? Is it just by the magic cover of grace or is it by the grace of time to work it out for ones own self and to learn of the teaching of grace, the denial of self, the bearing of ones own cross and following the Lord? Is it eating of the butter and the honey to know to refuse the evil and choose the good or was it eaten for you and all obeyed for you? Is it, learn to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts or is it no one can deny ungodliness and worldly lusts? Is it live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world or is it no one can or ever has or even needs to? Is it moral reform or is it believe just like the devils believe, there is no moral reform? Is it walk beside Christ or is it walking in His steps? Is it being carried by Christ or bearing your burden? Is it put on the mind of Christ or is it already put on for you? Is it clothed in the righteousness of Christ or is it putting on the righteousness of Christ by obeying Him and doing as He did? Is it sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness?
For every single Truth, there is a perfect opposite equal to it. At every turn the mouths are double tongued, speaking from both sides, they are always pressing upon you, touching, poking, lying, speaking like devils, ever tempting, wearing on you. So many bear the outward appearance but inwardly are wolves always tempting with filthy conversations. Trying to get you to partake with them, it wears on you and we must not weary of doing good. Call evil evil and good good. Escape from them that live in error. Be not leavened, have you read not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
Matthew 16:12, " Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. "
Doctrine - teachings...
1 Corinthians 5:6, " Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? "
Galatians 5:9, " A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. "
1 Corinthains 5:8, " Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. "
Since my walk in Christ began just over six years ago it has been one lie after another, one pretense after another. Sifting through it all wears one down and one realizes why it warns us to not weary of doing good, to not faint, to fight, to endure, for it takes all one has to not be overcome by all the filth that parades itself as of being Christ. Truly they know not what they do as they are killing you. Believing they are in the service of God and yet they are killing you. Making you twice the child of hell and they do not even blush of it. Saying life, when it is death, lie upon lie upon lie, turning it all upside down. Peace and safety and there is not peace, no safety in sin ever. Saying rest and in sin no man rests.
John 16:2, " They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. "
Isaiah 29:16, " Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? "
Acts 17:6, " And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; "
Psalms 146:9, " The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. "
Just keep saying it, they justify the wicked and condemn the just. They promise liberty when it is bondage. They say they are saved to commit all the abominations they commit. They cannot even blush of doing so.
They profess God is Love, but have no idea of what love is, can not give an answer if asked. One can not love God and disobey Him. One can not be loved of God and disobey Him, for sin is transgression of the Law. They who keep the Commandments are they whom love Him, not they who obey not them. The who endure temptation are blessed, not they who endure it not. At every turn the wicked profess to be blessed, rather than the Truth. The Lord lets it rain on the just and the unjust. For we are a field of wheat and tares and until the harvest, we grow together.
Until we fulfill our obedience under the banner of love. Defined, understood, it is not a service of thine lips but of thine heart.
Many think that sin is nothing, past, present, future sin all forgiven in advance, no evil shall prevent them from entering into the Kingdom of Heaven. Professing their love with lip service while their hearts are far from Him. They shall die by the sword, the Word of God, the Law, the Love of God given to all whom love Him. Not the Law of circumcision and mutilation of the flesh, or sacrifice, which have been nailed to the cross. The Law that says the wages of sin is death, true death, the separation from the presence of the Lord. How can one testify and leave out the horror that is to come to all whom deny the faith, the quality's of faith, of believe and the grace by which we are saved? The vision in which I was shown the image of lust and the wantonness that can not be quenched. How disgusting I felt in that moment, I never knew I could feel so much filth all at once, so much want without ability to be satisfied. Woe to all who take lightly this time of grace to work out ones own salvation with fear and trembling. Woe to them that lean upon men, that trust in men to save them, to teach them, to guide them. Woe to them that do need heed the woes...

Woe to them that understand not the Truth of love and obedience. Who study not to show themselves approved, to be meet/worthy for the Masters use.
Woe to the double minded, who say the Lord hath said and He has said it not.
When Christ revealed Himself in me, it was the greatest moment I have ever known. His presence, the euphoria, the bliss, the perfection. I tasted of perfection and I desire that for you all, again, I seek not yours, but you. Fulfill your obedience, stand under that banner of love and showing forth the standard true love requires, be faithful, sincere. Play not the harlot, go not whoring, eyes upon the prize that is Christ. What must be endured here is a little thing compared to what is to come. I know it can be crushing at times, to be more weight then anyone one man could bear. You are able to stand fast, to hold fast. Nothing makes me feel better than writing and sharing the testimony I was given. Falling on my face and crying out gives great strength, reinforces whom I lean upon, who is the one who can lift me up.
Romans 8:18, " For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. "
Fulfill that obedience and have your revenge upon sin and death by doing what is right and helping others do the same. Just by doing, you show forth a mighty example, by obeying yourselves from the heart you shine the light. If I, then anyone can obey from the heart out of love. Remember the mark is to them that sigh and mourn over the abominations in the world. They who find pleasure in evil will reap what they sow. Broken, contrite, lowly, meek, read how they describe Christ and those who follow Him. Be not ashamed of the chains that are found in Truth, not that you are better as they will say, but you have had enough of the vile, the filth, the want and truly knowing this, one is broken, contrite and lowly for them who can not yet see. It divides, it separates, it makes you peculiar people, and they will miss judge that Truth. Worry not, weary not, watch, wait, prepare, be worthy of Him to use you in the war of Life and death.
2 Corinthians 7:11, " For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. "
Ezekiel 9:4, " And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. "
May the grace of God abound in all that love the Lord, may you be built up and increase each day with the riches of God, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, able to retain, having ability, power to be unmovable. Yes you can do all things through Christ, yes you can endure till the end. They who do endure till the end will know salvation, the crown laid up for you.
Remission of sins past and not permission for sins future.
Seek, Repent, Go and Sin No More...
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen...
