DOUBT KILLS

Matthew 14:25-32

And In The Fourth Watch Of The Night Jesus Went Unto Them, Walking On The Sea. And When The Disciples Saw Him Walking On The Sea, They Were Troubled, Saying, It Is A Spirit; And They Cried Out For Fear. But Straightway Jesus Spake Unto Them, Saying, Be Of Good Cheer; It Is I; Be Not Afraid. And Peter Answered Him And Said, Lord, If It Be Thou, Bid Me Come Unto Thee On The Water. And He Said, Come. And When Peter Come Down Out Of The Ship, He Walked On The Water, To Go To Jesus. But When He Saw The Wind Boisterous, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK, He Cried, Saying, Lord, Save Me. And Immediately Jesus Stretched Forth His Hand, And Caught Him, And Said Unto Him, O Thou Of Little Faith, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT? And When They Were Come Into The Ship, The Wind Ceased.

Have you ever noticed when people take their eyes off of Jesus Christ fear sets in? Jesus Christ asked Peter why did you doubt? Doubt and fear go hand in hand. Fear also causes irrational minds. Fear brings weakness of Faith which is doubt.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God Hath Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear; But Of Power, And Of Love, And Of A Sound Mind.

Matthew 16:15-17

He Saith Unto Them, But Whom Say Ye That I Am? And Simon Peter Answered And Said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, The Son Of The Living God. And Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Blessed Art Thou, Simon Bar-Jona: For Flesh And Blood Hath Not Revealed It Unto Thee, But My Father Which Is In Heaven.

Faith in Christ Jesus is what Saves you Eternally. Fear is an evil spirit sent to make you doubt Jesus Christ. Jesus is who He is, in your life. What I mean is He is Lord and Savior or just someone you want to keep you out of The Lake Of Fire. If your answer is the latter then you need to check your Salvation. Jesus indeed Saves us from The Lake Of Fire, but He has to be your Christ, Which Is The Sacrifice For Your Sins. Christ denotes That He Was Anointed Or Consecrated To His Great Redemptive Work.

The Christ side of Jesus is where people fall short.

So many want The Blessings of being a Christian, but won't read their Bibles to strengthen their Faith. The Holy Spirit takes The Written Word Of God and multiplies Faith. The Holy Spirit conforms you into The Beautiful Image of Christ Jesus because The Holy Spirit Is The Spirit Of Christ Jesus. The same Spirit that is in Jesus Christ is in you molding you, training you up in The Way. The Spirit Of Christ Jesus teaches us what pleases God His Father and now our Father. The Holy Spirit uses The Written Word Of God and explains The Holy Word to us. They also go hand in hand, you can not understand The Bible without The Holy Spirit, and The Holy Spirit Teaches From The Word Of God. Most anyone can read a book and think they understand it, but The Bible is no ordinary Book, The Bible Is God Inspired, which means as we read The Bible we get Inspired by God through The Holy Spirit.

Keep your mind and heart fixed on Jesus Christ and His Perfect Sacrifice. GET INSPIRED BY GOD READ YOUR BIBLE!

1 Corinthians 2:12-14

Now We Have Received, Not The Spirit Of The World, But The Spirit Which Is Of God; That We Might Know The Things That Are Freely Given To Us Of God. Which Things Also We Speak, Not In The Words Which Man's Wisdom Teacheth, But Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth; Comparing Spiritual Things With Spiritual. But The Natural Man Receiveth Not The Things Of The Spirit Of God: For They Are Foolishness Unto Him: Neither Can He Know Them, Because They Are Spiritually Discerned.

2 Timothy 3:14-17

But Continue Thou In The Things Which Thou Hast Learned And Hast Been Assured Of, Knowing Of Whom Thou Hast Learned Them; And That From A Child Thou Hast Known The Holy Scriptures, Which Are Able To Make Thee Wise Unto Salvation Through Faith Which Is In Christ Jesus. All Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is Profitable For Doctrine, For Reproof, For Correction, For Instruction In Righteousness: That The Man Of God May Be Perfect, Throughly Furnished Unto All Good Works.

THE HOLY GHOST, BUT WHICH FIRE

THE HOLY GHOST, BUT WHICH FIRE!

Acts 2:2-4

And Suddenly There Came A Sound From Heaven As Of A Rushing Mighty Wind, And It Filled All The House Where They Were Sitting. And There Appeared Unto Them Cloven Tongues Like As Of Fire, And It Sat Upon Each Of Them. And They Were All Filled With The Holy Ghost, And Began To Speak With Other Tongues, As The Spirit Gave Them Utterance.

Luke 3:15-17

And As The People Were In Expectation, And All Men Mused In Their Hearts Of John, Whether He Were The Christ, Or Not; John Answered, Saying Unto Them All, I Indeed Baptize You With Water; But One Mightier Than I Cometh, The Latchet Of Whose Shoes I Am Not Worthy To Unloose: He Shall Baptize You With The Holy Ghost And With Fire: Whose Fan Is In His Hand, And He Will Throughly Purge His Floor, And Will Gather The Wheat Into His Garner; But The Chaff He Will Burn With Fire Unquenchable.

Matthew 3:10-12

And Now Also The Axe Is Laid Unto The Root Of The Trees: Therefore Every Tree Which Bringeth Not Forth Good Fruit Is Hewn Down, And Cast Into The Fire. I Indeed Baptize You With Water Unto Repentance: But He That Cometh After Me Is Mightier Than I, Whose Shoes I Am Not Worthy To Bear: He Shall Baptize You With The Holy Ghost, And With Fire: Whose Fan Is In His Hand, And He Will Throughly Purge His Floor, And Gather His Wheat Into The Garner; But He Will Burn Up The Chaff With Unquenchable Fire.

I have heard preachers say, God will baptize you with The Holy Ghost and with Fire. They talk like you will have fire in your soul, but He will also burn up the chaff in The Fire is The Lake Of Fire. The Scripture is saying that you will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost or you will be cast into the fire.

Matthew 7:13-23

Enter Ye In At The Strait Gate: For Wide Is The Gate, And Broad Is The Way, That Leadeth To Destruction, And Many There Be Which Go In Thereat: Because Strait Is The Gate, And Narrow Is The Way, Which Leadeth Unto Life, And Few There Be That Find It. Beware Of False Prophets, Which Come To You In Sheep's Clothing, But Inwardly They Are Ravening Wolves. Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits. Do Men Gather Grapes Of Thorns, Or Figs Of Thistles? Even So Every Good Tree Bringeth Forth Good Fruit; But A Corrupt Tree Bringeth Forth Evil Fruit. A Good Tree Cannot Bring Forth Evil Fruit, Neither Can A Corrupt Tree Bring Forth Good Fruit. Every Tree That Bringeth Not Forth Good Fruit Is Hewn Down, And Cast Into The Fire. Wherefore By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them. Not Every One That Saith Unto Me, Lord, Lord, Shall Enter Into The Kingdom Of Heaven; But He That Doeth The Will Of My Father Which Is In Heaven. Many Will Say To Me In That Day, Lord, Lord, Have We Not Prophesied In Thy Name? And In Thy Name Have Cast Out Devils? And In Thy Name Done Many Wonderful Works? And Then Will I Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew You: Depart From Me, Ye That Work Iniquity.

John 6:37-40

All That The Father Giveth Me Shall Come To Me; And Him That Cometh To Me I Will In No Wise Cast Out. For I Came Down From Heaven, Not To Do Mine Own Will, But The Will Of Him That Sent Me. And This Is The Father's Will Which Hath Sent Me, That Of All Which He Hath Given Me I Should Lose Nothing, But Should Raise It Up Again At The Last Day. And This Is The Will Of Him That Sent Me, That Every One Which Seeth The Son, And Believeth On Him, May Have Everlasting Life: And I Will Raise Him Up At The Last Day.

JOHN 14:6

JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.

LIVING SOUL

God Created a man He named Adam.

God told Adam to tend to His Creation. God also had a close relationship with Adam, in the beginning, God would come in the cool of the day and visit Adam. I sometimes think of the conversations that they had. Here is The Righteous God talking with a Righteous man. Adam was a friend to God. The Almighty, The Creator of all things would take time to visit Adam. WOW!

Everything was at Peace, everything was Beautiful. God told Adam that he could eat from any of the trees in the Garden Of Eden except for one. God told Adam when you do you will die. God Created man to live forever. He breathed His Spirit into Adam and he became a living soul. Now if Adam were to disobey God Adam's soul would die. The Living Soul is how we communicate with God, His Spirit comes into us and brings our soul to Everlasting Life. The Living Soul Is Righteous And Eternal.

Adam as we all know ate from the one tree that God forbid him to eat from and Adams's soul died. Adam sinned. Sin is disobedience to what God commands. After Adam sinned the anger of God came upon the man and every man after.

So God made a way for men to have a relationship with Him He gave them The Law to live by. If you keep The Law you are at Peace with God, of course when you break The Law you are at odds with God. God told them in His Law how to make up for their disobedience of His Law and to come back into right standing with Him. The Law is called The Law of Blessing and Cursing. If you keep The Law you will live, if not you die. Men live under The Law forever, because by keeping The Law you become Righteous. That is where men fail, because of their evil desires they want to sin. Men's evil desires come from their flesh. Men are flesh now because of Adam, remember his Soul Of Life has died. Even though Adam lived a long time in his flesh after he sinned, His Soul Of Righteousness was dead. We live lives in our flesh, but not in Righteousness as Adam did. Men keep on sinning because of our flesh. We want to fulfill the lusts of our flesh. The lust of the flesh is why our souls are dead and we are sinners. There is a war going on inside of us with our minds we know what we should do, but with our flesh, we want to do evil. It is a constant battle that most people just quit fighting and give up. That is why God had Jesus be born of a woman who was flesh. She was a woman who needed to be forgiven of her sins just like everyone else. She was a virgin that loved God and kept His Law the best that she could, but she still needed a Living Soul. Remember everyone is a sinner as Romans 5:12 states.

Jesus is God in the form of flesh. God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, yet without sin. Jesus Kept The Righteousness Of The Law Perfectly. JESUS NEVER SINNED. Jesus came for one purpose and that was to make Peace between God and man once again. To Give Man A Living Soul Again. To restore man to the former position that Adam had in the Garden. From Adam until Jesus Christ man had to keep The Law themselves. Jesus came and kept The Law, for us, not Himself He Is Perfect already. When Jesus died on His Cross He took every sin from Adam to the last person on earth sin upon Himself. He died and took the punishment for them. He was separated from His Father like we are because of sin. He went into Hell a place of torment because of sin. Remember it was not because of His sins that He committed, it was our sins on Him that He did all of this. Why? Good question. Because God loves us and wants us to be able to Live Eternally with Him. So how does Jesus make us Living Souls again? Jesus took our sins and gave us His Righteousness. There was a swap, He took our sins and when we believe that He is The Son Of God and made our Peace with God we become Living Souls. We have Everlasting Life once again. We Become Righteous By Faith In Christ Jesus, His Spirit Comes Into Us To Live Inside Of Us, keeps and seals us until we go home to be with Him in Heaven.

Deuteronomy 30:19

I Call Heaven And Earth To Record This Day Against You, That I Have Set Before You Life And Death, Blessing And Cursing: Therefore Choose Life, That Both Thou And Thy Seed May Live:

Romans 8:8

So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God.

Ephesians 2:3

Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others.

1 John 2:16

For All That Is In The World, The Lust Of The Flesh, And The Lust Of The Eyes, And The Pride Of Life, Is Not Of The Father, But Is Of The World.

Romans 5:12

Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned:

Romans 8:3

For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh:

Matthew 27:46

And About The Ninth Hour Jesus Cried With A Loud Voice, Saying, Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani? That Is To Say, My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

Luke 16:23a.

And In Hell He Lift Up His Eyes, Being In Torments,

Acts 2:31-33

He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption. This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses. Therefore Being By The Right Hand Of God Exalted, And Having Received Of The Father The Promise Of The Holy Ghost, He Hath Shed Forth This, Which Ye Now See And Hear.

Colossians 2:13-14

And You, Being Dead In Your Sins And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh, Hath He Quickened Together With Him, Having Forgiven You All Trespasses; Blotting Out The Handwriting Of Ordinances That Was Against Us, Which Was Contrary To Us, And Took It Out Of The Way, Nailing It To His Cross;

Ephesians 2:14-16

For He Is Our Peace, Who Hath Made Both One, And Hath Broken Down The Middle Wall Of Partition Between Us; Having Abolished In His Flesh The Enmity, Even The Law Of Commandments Contained In Ordinances; For To Make In Himself Of Twain One New Man, So Making Peace; And That He Might Reconcile Both Unto God In One Body By The Cross, Having Slain The Enmity Thereby:

John 3:15-18

That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Eternal Life. For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. For God Sent Not His Son Into The World To Condemn The World; But That The World Through Him Might Be Saved. He That Believeth On Him Is Not Condemned: But He That Believeth Not Is Condemned Already, Because He Hath Not Believed In The Name Of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

1 John 3:1-9

Behold, What Manner Of Love The Father Hath Bestowed Upon Us, That We Should Be Called The Sons Of God: Therefore The World Knoweth Us Not, Because It Knew Him Not. Beloved, Now Are We The Sons Of God, And It Doth Not Yet Appear What We Shall Be: But We Know That, When He Shall Appear, We Shall Be Like Him; For We Shall See Him As He Is. And Every Man That Hath This Hope In Him Purifieth Himself, Even As He Is Pure. Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law. And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God.

Romans 8:1-5

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. For They That Are After The Flesh Do Mind The Things Of The Flesh; But They That Are After The Spirit The Things Of The Spirit.

Romans 8:9-11,14

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You.

[14] For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God.

Romans 4:15

BECAUSE THE LAW WORKETH WRATH: FOR WHERE NO LAW IS, THERE IS NO TRANSGRESSION.

John 3:6

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE CREATOR OF MAN, THIS WORLD, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS RIGHTEOUS. GOD IS MADE OF THREE, THE FATHER, HIS NAME IS JEHOVAH, THE SON, AND HIS NAME IS JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE THREE ARE ONE GOD BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE LIVING SPIRIT. GOD TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN AND HIS NAME IS JESUS TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Genesis 2:15-17

And The Lord God Took The Man, And Put Him Into The Garden Of Eden To Dress It And To Keep It. And The Lord God Commanded The Man, Saying, Of Every Tree Of The Garden Thou Mayest Freely Eat: But Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of It: For In The Day That Thou Eatest Thereof Thou Shalt Surely Die.

Romans 5:12-14

Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned: (For Until The Law Sin Was In The World: But Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law. Nevertheless Death Reigned From Adam To Moses, Even Over Them That Had Not Sinned After The Similitude Of Adam's Transgression, Who Is The Figure Of Him That Was To Come.

Romans 5:20-21

Moreover The Law Entered, That The Offence Might Abound. But Where Sin Abounded, Grace Did Much More Abound: That As Sin Hath Reigned Unto Death, Even So Might Grace Reign Through Righteousness Unto Eternal Life By Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Romans 7:5-6

For When We Were In The Flesh, The Motions Of Sins, Which Were By The Law, Did Work In Our Members To Bring Forth Fruit Unto Death. But Now We Are Delivered From The Law, That Being Dead Wherein We Were Held; That We Should Serve In Newness Of Spirit, And Not In The Oldness Of The Letter.

Romans 7:7,11,13

What Shall We Say Then? Is The Law Sin? God Forbid. Nay, I Had Not Known Sin, But By The Law: For I Had Not Known Lust, Except The Law Had Said, Thou Shalt Not Covet.

[11] For Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Deceived Me, And By It Slew Me. [13] Was Then That Which Is Good Made Death Unto Me? God Forbid. But Sin, That It Might Appear Sin, Working Death In Me By That Which Is Good; That Sin By The Commandment Might Become Exceeding Sinful.

Romans 7:12,14,17,22-23,25

Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good.

[14] For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin.

[17] Now Then It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me.

[22] For I Delight In The Law Of God After The Inward Man: But I See Another Law In My Members, Warring Against The Law Of My Mind, And Bringing Me Into Captivity To The Law Of Sin Which Is In My Members.

[25] I Thank God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. So Then With The Mind I Myself Serve The Law Of God; But With The Flesh The Law Of Sin.

Galatians 5:24

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts.

Ephesians 5:30

For We Are Members Of His Body, Of His Flesh, And Of His Bones.

Galatians 2:20-21

I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me. I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

1 Corinthians 15:20-22

But Now Is Christ Risen From The Dead, And Become The Firstfruits Of Them That Slept. For Since By Man Came Death, By Man Came Also The Resurrection Of The Dead. For As In Adam All Die, Even So In Christ Shall All Be Made Alive.

Romans 6:18-20,22-23

Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness.

[22] But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

Titus 3:4-7

But After That The Kindness And Love Of God Our Saviour Toward Man Appeared, Not By Works Of Righteousness Which We Have Done, But According To His Mercy He Saved Us, By The Washing Of Regeneration, And Renewing Of The Holy Ghost; Which He Shed On Us Abundantly Through Jesus Christ Our Saviour; That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life.

BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!

CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH

John 1:12-14

But As Many As Received Him, To Them Gave He Power To Become The Sons Of God, Even To Them That Believe On His Name: Which Were Born, Not Of Blood, Nor Of The Will Of The Flesh, Nor Of The Will Of Man, But Of God. And The Word Was Made Flesh, And Dwelt Among Us, (And We Beheld His Glory, The Glory As Of The Only Begotten Of The Father,) Full Of Grace And Truth.

Romans 6:3-11

Know Ye Not, That So Many Of Us As Were Baptized Into Jesus Christ Were Baptized Into His Death? Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, We Shall Be Also In The Likeness Of His Resurrection: Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Romans 8:13-17

For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. For Ye Have Not Received The Spirit Of Bondage Again To Fear; But Ye Have Received The Spirit Of Adoption, Whereby We Cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God: And If Children, Then Heirs; Heirs Of God, And Joint-heirs With Christ; If So Be That We Suffer With Him, That We May Be Also Glorified Together.

Romans 8:9-10

Romans 13:14

But Put Ye On The Lord Jesus Christ, And Make Not Provision For The Flesh, To Fulfil The Lusts Thereof.

Galatians 5:24-25

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

Galatians 3:26-27

For Ye Are All The CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH In Christ Jesus. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have PUT ON CHRIST.

CREATOR WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER! AMEN!

Romans 1:22-32

Professing Themselves To Be Wise, They Became Fools, And Changed The Glory Of The Uncorruptible God Into An Image Made Like To Corruptible Man, And To Birds, And Fourfooted Beasts, And Creeping Things. Wherefore God Also Gave Them Up To Uncleanness Through The Lusts Of Their Own Hearts, To Dishonour Their Own Bodies Between Themselves: Who Changed The Truth Of God Into A Lie, And Worshipped And Served The Creature More Than The Creator, Who Is Blessed For Ever. Amen. For This Cause God Gave Them Up Unto Vile Affections: For Even Their Women Did Change The Natural Use Into That Which Is Against Nature: And Likewise Also The Men, Leaving The Natural Use Of The Woman, Burned In Their Lust One Toward Another; Men With Men Working That Which Is Unseemly, And Receiving In Themselves That Recompence Of Their Error Which Was Meet. And Even As They Did Not Like To Retain God In Their Knowledge, God Gave Them Over To A Reprobate Mind, To Do Those Things Which Are Not Convenient; Being Filled With All Unrighteousness, Fornication, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full Of Envy, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity; Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters Of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors Of Evil Things, Disobedient To Parents, Without Understanding, Covenantbreakers, Without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful: Who Knowing The Judgment Of God, That They Which Commit Such Things Are Worthy Of Death, Not Only Do The Same, But Have Pleasure In Them That Do Them.

Acts 19:17-20,26

And This Was Known To All The Jews And Greeks Also Dwelling At Ephesus; And Fear Fell On Them All, And The Name Of The Lord Jesus Was Magnified. And Many That Believed Came, And Confessed, And Shewed Their Deeds. Many Of Them Also Which Used Curious Arts Brought Their Books Together, And Burned Them Before All Men: And They Counted The Price Of Them, And Found It Fifty Thousand Pieces Of Silver. So Mightily Grew The Word Of God And Prevailed. [26] Moreover Ye See And Hear, That Not Alone At Ephesus, But Almost Throughout All Asia, This Paul Hath Persuaded And Turned Away Much People, Saying That They Be No Gods, Which Are Made With Hands:

Acts 17:29

Forasmuch Then As We Are The Offspring Of God, We Ought Not To Think That The Godhead Is Like Unto Gold, Or Silver, Or Stone, Graven By Art And Man's Device.

Revelation 9:20-21

And The Rest Of The Men Which Were Not Killed By These Plagues Yet Repented Not Of The Works Of Their Hands, That They Should Not Worship Devils, And Idols Of Gold, And Silver, And Brass, And Stone, And Of Wood: Which Neither Can See, Nor Hear, Nor Walk: Neither Repented They Of Their Murders, Nor Of Their Sorceries, Nor Of Their Fornication, Nor Of Their Thefts.

2 Peter 2:17-22

These Are Wells Without Water, Clouds That Are Carried With A Tempest; To Whom The Mist Of Darkness Is Reserved For Ever. For When They Speak Great Swelling Words Of Vanity, They Allure Through The Lusts Of The Flesh, Through Much Wantonness, Those That Were Clean Escaped From Them Who Live In Error. While They Promise Them Liberty, They Themselves Are The Servants Of Corruption: For Of Whom A Man Is Overcome, Of The Same Is He Brought In Bondage. For If After They Have Escaped The Pollutions Of The World Through The Knowledge Of The Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ, They Are Again Entangled Therein, And Overcome, The Latter End Is Worse With Them Than The Beginning. For It Had Been Better For Them Not To Have Known The Way Of Righteousness, Than, After They Have Known It, To Turn From The Holy Commandment Delivered Unto Them. But It Is Happened Unto Them According To The True Proverb, The Dog Is Turned To His Own Vomit Again; And The Sow That Was Washed To Her Wallowing In The Mire.

There are so many different religions in this world, but these do not acknowledge Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit As The One And Only True God so they are false.

Plants and stars are created by The One God. God is to be The One Worshiped, not the planets. God does use His creation for His purpose, not for us to worship. Spiritualism, Wicca, Taoism, Chinese astrology, and such are not of Christianity. We are Spiritual because of The Holy Spirit Living within us, not because Mohammed or anyone else is. Not all religions are guiding people to The True God. Beware and be aware of those who talk a lot about Spirituality, If Christ Jesus is not The One they are teaching about, they are false. If they refer to The Bible as that book, they are not of The True Faith.

People who refer to God as the big guy in the sky, we know most likely don't know Him as Savior, but those who talk about

Spiritualism we seem to take as real. Don't believe every spirit, try them and see if they are True or false. Usually, a person will talk or write long enough to let you know who they are but don't take their words to heart until you are sure.

I have had to learn to stop trying to correct some who are being deceived because they want to believe those people instead of me. The Bible tells us in

Matthew 10:14

And Whosoever Shall Not Receive You, Nor Hear Your Words, When Ye Depart Out Of That House Or City, Shake Off The Dust Of Your Feet.

Titus 3:10

A Man That Is An Heretick After The First And Second Admonition Reject;

Matthew 7:6

Give Not That Which Is Holy Unto The Dogs, Neither Cast Ye Your Pearls Before Swine, Lest They Trample Them Under Their Feet, And Turn Again And Rend You.

John 12:46-50

I Am Come A Light Into The World, That Whosoever Believeth On Me Should Not Abide In Darkness. And If Any Man Hear My Words, And Believe Not, I Judge Him Not: For I Came Not To Judge The World, But To Save The World. He That Rejecteth Me, And Receiveth Not My Words, Hath One That Judgeth Him: The Word That I Have Spoken, The Same Shall Judge Him In The Last Day. For I Have Not Spoken Of Myself; But The Father Which Sent Me, He Gave Me A Commandment, What I Should Say, And Wh I'mat I Should Speak. And I Know That His Commandment Is Life Everlasting: Whatsoever I Speak Therefore, Even As The Father Said Unto Me, So I Speak.

WALK IN THEM

Romans 3:10-12

As It Is Written, There Is None Righteous, No, Not One: There Is None That Understandeth, There Is None That Seeketh After God. They Are All Gone Out Of The Way, They Are Together Become Unprofitable; There Is None That Doeth Good, No, Not One.

John 3:5-7

Jesus Answered, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Of Water And Of The Spirit, He Cannot Enter Into The Kingdom Of God. That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And That Which Is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit. Marvel Not That I Said Unto Thee, Ye Must Be Born Again.

Ephesians 2:8-10

For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

Galatians 5:22-25

But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such, There Is No Law. And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

Ephesians 5:9-14

(For The Fruit Of The Spirit Is In All Goodness And Righteousness And Truth;) Proving What Is Acceptable Unto The Lord. And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, Awake Thou That Sleepest, And Arise From The Dead, And Christ Shall Give Thee Light.

We are not Saved "BY" our good works, because there is nothing good in us before Salvation. We are Saved "TO DO" good works, and we can only do them because of The Holy Spirit. If you are still the same after your Salvation then you need to check and see if you are in The Faith.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore If Any Man Be In Christ, He Is A New Creature: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, All Things Are Become New.

YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.

YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN

Romans 6:15-23

What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness? 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. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. What Fruit Had Ye Then In Those Things Whereof Ye Are Now Ashamed? For The End Of Those Things Is Death. But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Romans 1:22,24-32

Professing Themselves To Be Wise, They Became Fools,

[24] Wherefore God Also Gave Them Up To Uncleanness Through The Lusts Of Their Own Hearts, To Dishonour Their Own Bodies Between Themselves: Who Changed The Truth Of God Into A Lie, And Worshipped And Served The Creature More Than The Creator, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN. For This Cause God Gave Them Up Unto Vile Affections: For Even Their Women Did Change The Natural Use Into That Which Is Against Nature: And Likewise Also The Men, Leaving The Natural Use Of The Woman, Burned In Their Lust One Toward Another; Men With Men Working That Which Is Unseemly, And Receiving In Themselves That Recompence Of Their Error Which Was Meet. And Even As They Did Not Like To Retain God In Their Knowledge, God Gave Them Over To A Reprobate Mind, To Do Those Things Which Are Not Convenient; Being Filled With All Unrighteousness, Fornication, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full Of Envy, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity; Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters Of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors Of Evil Things, Disobedient To Parents, Without Understanding, Covenantbreakers, Without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful: Who Knowing The Judgment Of God, That They Which Commit Such Things Are Worthy Of Death, Not Only Do The Same, But Have Pleasure In Them That Do Them.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Know Ye Not That The Unrighteous Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God? Be Not Deceived: Neither Fornicators, Nor Idolaters, Nor Adulterers, Nor Effeminate, Nor Abusers Of Themselves With Mankind, Nor Thieves, Nor Covetous, Nor Drunkards, Nor Revilers, Nor Extortioners, Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God. And Such Were Some Of You: But Ye Are Washed, But Ye Are Sanctified, But Ye Are Justified In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, And By The Spirit Of Our God.

Jude 1:7

Even As Sodom And Gomorrha, And The Cities About Them In Like Manner, Giving Themselves Over To Fornication, And Going After Strange Flesh, Are Set Forth For An Example, Suffering The Vengeance Of Eternal Fire.

Galatians 5:16-25

This I Say Then, Walk In The Spirit, And Ye Shall Not Fulfil The Lust Of The Flesh. For The Flesh Lusteth Against The Spirit, And The Spirit Against The Flesh: And These Are Contrary The One To The Other: So That Ye Cannot Do The Things That Ye Would. But If Ye Be Led Of The Spirit, Ye Are Not Under The Law. Now The Works Of The Flesh Are Manifest, Which Are These; Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness, Revellings, And Such Like: Of The Which I Tell You Before, As I Have Also Told You In Time Past, That They Which Do Such Things Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God. But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such There Is No Law. And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

Romans 6:6-11

Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Ephesians 2:10

For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

Titus 2:11-15

For The Grace Of God That Bringeth Salvation Hath Appeared To All Men, Teaching Us That, Denying Ungodliness And Worldly Lusts, We Should Live Soberly, Righteously, And Godly, In This Present World; Looking For That Blessed Hope, And The Glorious Appearing Of The Great God And Our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who Gave Himself For Us, That He Might Redeem Us From All Iniquity, And Purify Unto Himself A Peculiar People, Zealous Of Good Works. These Things Speak, And Exhort, And Rebuke With All Authority. Let No Man Despise Thee.

For A Sweetsmelling Savour

Ephesians 5:1-20

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an Offering and A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh Saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in The Kingdom Of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh The Wrath Of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye Light In The Lord: walk as Children Of Light: (For the fruit of The Spirit is in all Goodness and Righteousness and Truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto The Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by The Light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is Light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee Light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what The Will Of The Lord Is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with The Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to The Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and The Father in The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Jesus Christ offered Himself For A Sweetsmelling Savour To God for us, so we can be a Sweetsmelling Savour to God also. Don't dirty yourself up and stink before God. We are Children Of Light and beauty. The Holy Spirit lives in us, we need to live like it. He is inside of us to guide us into all Righteousness so we need to yield to His guidance.

If we don't know what some of the words mean then we are to look them up and find out. We don't have to be ignorant of The Word Of God, there will be no excuses when we stand before The Lord.

Ye Are Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light.

Now In The Place Where He Was Crucified There Was A Garden; And In The Garden A NEW SEPULCHRE, Wherein Was Never Man Yet Laid.

Therefore If Any Man Be In Christ, He Is A New Creature: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, All Things Are Become New.

By A New And Living Way, Which He Hath Consecrated For Us, Through The Veil, That Is To Say, His Flesh;

2 Peter 3:13

Nevertheless We, According To His Promise, Look For New Heavens And A New Earth, Wherein Dwelleth Righteousness.

Ephesians 2:3-6,10,13

Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others. But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus:

[10] For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

[13] But Now In Christ Jesus Ye Who Sometimes Were Far Off Are Made Nigh By The Blood Of Christ.

Matthew 9:16

No Man Putteth A Piece Of New Cloth Unto An Old Garment, For That Which Is Put In To Fill It Up Taketh From The Garment, And The Rent Is Made Worse.

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, BUT NOW Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light:

EVERLASTING LIFE

John 3:16

For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have EVERLASTING LIFE.

For God so loves you and me that He sent His Only Son to restore the relationship that He once had with humanity at creation. God created this world and all that is in it, He said that it was good, then His first created man disobeyed Him. When we disobey God it is called sin. The punishment for sin is death. To recover mankind God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die that death for us and whoever believes that Jesus is The Son Of God and that He died and paid our sin penalty will be saved from death. Christ means The Divine, The Holy, and The Righteousness of God In Human Form. Jesus is God In Human Form without sin, He is Perfect. Jesus died on the cross to take our sins and was separated from God for us.

The Wrath or anger of God is what separates us from God. When we believe in Jesus God forgives us and we are at Peace with God like God created us to be. When we believe in Jesus we become Children Of God too like Jesus is. God loves us and sent and sent His Holy Child to restore us to Himself, eternally. We will not perish and His wrath is turned away from us forever. He sends His Holy Spirit to live instead of us to guide us in the way that He wants us to be. We are Saved from our sins and are forgiven forever, that is called Salvation through Jesus. We believe that He took our sins upon Himself when He died on The Cross and died our death. Jesus went into the place called Hell for us and God Raised Him Out Three Days Later. We are no longer enemies of God because of Jesus Christ. Enemies of God do not believe in Jesus and His Sacrifice, which is His Death.

The wrath of God is only upon people of disobedience, not His Children, we are no longer sinners, but Children Of God. Being a Child Of God means we are His forever. Being Saved does not mean you won't mess up, it means we are not enemies of God we are Children.

God will discipline His Children as A Father, not an enemy. We have His Holy Spirit to lead us into all Truth and The Holy Spirit strengthens us to do Righteousness.

Matthew 27:46

And About The Ninth Hour Jesus Cried With A Loud Voice, Saying, Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani? That Is To Say, My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

Wrath is Death, Death is perishing in Hell.

Acts 2:27,31-32

Because Thou Wilt Not Leave My Soul In Hell, Neither Wilt Thou Suffer Thine Holy One To See Corruption.

[31] He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That His Soul Was Not Left In Hell, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption. This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses.

1 John 5:18

We Know That Whosoever Is Born Of God Sinneth Not; But He That Is Begotten Of God Keepeth Himself, And That Wicked One Toucheth Him Not.

Peace with God means forgiveness and forgiveness means eternal life All because of Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice.

Romans 5:1

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ:

1 Corinthians 6:11

And Such Were Some Of You: But Ye Are Washed, But Ye Are Sanctified, But Ye Are Justified In The Name Of The Lord Jesus And By The Spirit Of Our God.

John 3:16

For God So Loved The World, That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life

1 John 5:13

These Things Have I Written Unto You That Believe On The Name Of The Son Of God; That Ye May Know That Ye Have Eternal Life, And That Ye May Believe On The Name Of The Son Of God.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is Profitable For Doctrine, For Reproof, For Correction, For Instruction In Righteousness: That The Man Of God May Be Perfect, Throughly Furnished Unto All Good Works.

Hebrews 10:24

And Let Us Consider One Another To Provoke Unto Love And To Good Works:

Titus 2:13-14

Looking For That Blessed Hope, And The Glorious Appearing Of The Great God And Our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who Gave Himself For Us, That He Might Redeem Us From All Iniquity, And Purify Unto Himself A Peculiar People, Zealous Of Good Works.

GROW IN GRACE

Ephesians 4:14

That We Henceforth Be No More Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About With Every Wind Of Doctrine, By The Sleight Of Men, And Cunning Craftiness, Whereby They Lie In Wait To Deceive;

Romans 4:13-17

For The Promise, That He Should Be The Heir Of The World, Was Not To Abraham, Or To His Seed, Through The Law, But Through The Righteousness Of Faith. For If They Which Are Of The Law Be Heirs, Faith Is Made Void, And The Promise Made Of None Effect: Because The Law Worketh Wrath: For Where No Law Is, There Is No Transgression. Therefore It Is Of Faith, That It Might Be By Grace; To The End The Promise Might Be Sure To All The Seed; Not To That Only Which Is Of The Law, But To That Also Which Is Of The Faith Of Abraham; Who Is The Father Of Us All, (As It Is Written, I Have Made Thee A Father Of Many Nations,) Before Him Whom He Believed, Even God, Who Quickeneth The Dead, And Calleth Those Things Which Be Not As Though They Were.

Galatians 2:16,20-21

Knowing That A Man Is Not Justified By The Works Of The Law, But By The Faith Of Jesus Christ, Even We Have Believed In Jesus Christ, That We Might Be Justified By The Faith Of Christ, And Not By The Works Of The Law: For By The Works Of The Law Shall No Flesh Be Justified.

[20] I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me.

I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

Galatians 5:3-5

For I Testify Again To Every Man That Is Circumcised, That He Is A Debtor To Do The Whole Law. Christ Is Become Of No Effect Unto You, Whosoever Of You Are Justified By The Law; Ye Are Fallen From Grace.

FOR WE THROUGH THE SPIRIT WAIT FOR THE HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.

Titus 3:7-8

That Being Justified By His Grace, We Should Be Made Heirs According To The Hope Of Eternal Life. This Is A Faithful Saying, And These Things I Will That Thou Affirm Constantly, That They Which Have Believed In God Might Be Careful To Maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good And Profitable Unto Men.

Romans 5:9

Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him.

2 Peter 3:17-18

Ye Therefore, Beloved, Seeing Ye Know These Things Before, Beware Lest Ye Also, Being Led Away With The Error Of The Wicked, Fall From Your Own Stedfastness. But GROW IN GRACE, And In The Knowledge Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him Be Glory Both Now And For Ever. Amen.

THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT

Romans 5:6,8

For When We Were Yet Without Strength, In Due Time Christ Died For The Ungodly.

[8] But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us.

Acts 1:8

But Ye Shall Receive Power, After That The Holy Ghost Is Come Upon You: And Ye Shall Be Witnesses Unto Me Both In Jerusalem, And In All Judaea, And In Samaria, And Unto The Uttermost Part Of The Earth.

Ephesians 6:10-12

Finally, My Brethren, Be Strong In The Lord, And In The Power Of His Might.

Put On The Whole Armour Of God, That Ye May Be Able To Stand Against The Wiles Of The Devil.

For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh And Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World, Against Spiritual Wickedness In High Places.

Being tempted is not a sin. the Lord Jesus was tempted. We are all tempted, but we know that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.

Matthew 4:1

Then Was Jesus Led Up Of The Spirit Into The Wilderness To Be Tempted Of The Devil.

1 John 2:27

But The Anointing Which Ye Have Received Of Him Abideth In You, And Ye Need Not That Any Man Teach You: But As The Same Anointing Teacheth You Of All Things, And Is Truth, And Is No Lie, And Even As It Hath Taught You, Ye Shall Abide In Him.

We are not in the weak flesh anymore, our flesh has been crucified with Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:24-25

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

We are no longer the children on the devil, we are Children Of God.

1 John 4:4

Ye Are Of God, Little Children, And Have Overcome Them: Because Greater Is He That Is In You, Than He That Is In The World.

Ephesians 2:1-6

And You Hath He Quickened, Who Were Dead In Trespasses And Sins; Wherein In Time Past Ye Walked According To The Course Of This World, According To The Prince Of The Power Of The Air, The Spirit That Now Worketh In The Children Of Disobedience: Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others. But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 5:8

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light:

John 3:6

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.

Hebrews 13:15-16

BY HIM THEREFORE LET US OFFER THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD CONTINUALLY, THAT IS, THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS GIVING THANKS TO HIS NAME. BUT TO DO GOOD AND TO COMMUNICATE FORGET NOT: FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES GOD IS WELL PLEASED.

THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD

THE UNRIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Just because you were raised in a religious cult that said they were Christian does not mean you turn from The True Christ. Since you had a bad experience with them does not mean all Christians are like them. You do not teach people what you think The Bible should say because of your feelings. You can not go on being wilfully ignorant of The Word Of God, some day you have to grow up and learn for yourself.

The Bible Is The Bible, No Matter who says what about it. The True Gospel is Love, but also discipline. There is Light or darkness, they do not mix one will overtake the other. There is either Good or evil. There is Spirit or flesh. There is The Law Or Grace. There is a Child Of God or a child of the devil. There is a Saint or a sinner. There is the condemned or The Forgiven. There is the Straight Gate And Narrow Way or the broad road to destruction.

There is the old or The New Creature. There is death or Life. There is Heaven or The Lake Of Fire, you will not be in both. It Is an Either-Or Answer, Not Both. Do not let anyone deceive you.

Matthew 7:13-23

Romans 1:24-32

Wherefore God Also Gave Them Up To Uncleanness Through The Lusts Of Their Own Hearts, To Dishonour Their Own Bodies Between Themselves: Who Changed The Truth Of God Into A Lie, And Worshipped And Served The Creature More Than The Creator, Who Is Blessed For Ever. Amen. For This Cause God Gave Them Up Unto Vile Affections: For Even Their Women Did Change The Natural Use Into That Which Is Against Nature: And Likewise Also The Men, Leaving The Natural Use Of The Woman, Burned In Their Lust One Toward Another; Men With Men Working That Which Is Unseemly, And Receiving In Themselves That Recompence Of Their Error Which Was Meet. And Even As They Did Not Like To Retain God In Their Knowledge, God Gave Them Over To A Reprobate Mind, To Do Those Things Which Are Not Convenient; Being Filled With All Unrighteousness, Fornication, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full Of Envy, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity; Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters Of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors Of Evil Things, Disobedient To Parents, Without Understanding, Covenantbreakers, Without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful: Who Knowing The Judgment Of God, That They Which Commit Such Things Are Worthy Of Death, Not Only Do The Same, But Have Pleasure In Them That Do Them.

DO NOT BE GUILTY OF HOLDING TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS

DO NOT BE GUILTY OF HOLDING TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

People are searching for The True Gospel.

New babes in Christ are trying to find answers and are seeking The Truth.

Do we have The True Gospel to give them?

Do we know what The True Gospel is?

I know people are talking a lot, but what are they saying? I saw a video of a woman talking about being raised in the Church and she was giving her opinion of what God is okay with. She also says that Christians who think differently from her are judgmental. She even had the Scripture "Judge not lest ye be judged". She did not quote the whole Scripture, just part of it. She was wrong on every point but gave her opinion to be a matter of fact. People listen to her because she is saying what they want to hear, she condones what they are doing. She condones the life they lived before Salvation. Once again she gave partial Scripture when she said God accepts you as you are, which is true, but His Holy Spirit moves into you and changes you from the inside out. You were a sinner before Salvation, but afterward, you become Holy, Sanctified, A Child Of God. God Is Holy. Do not be deceived God does not wash you clean in The Blood Of His Son to leave you like you were before Salvation. If you think that then you are very wrong. Reading your Bible for yourself is the most important thing that you can do so that you will not be deceived. I am a New Testament Christian for sure, but God Is The God Of Righteousness, He Will Never Change. Righteousness is required from us too. The Righteousness Of Jesus Christ is given to us so we can have a relationship with The Holy God.

It is he that yields his members to God who is being conformed into the image Of Christ Jesus.

That is the purpose of The Holy Spirit to teach and change us. Read your Bible, don't take anyone's word for it. That is why I put so many Scriptures in my writings, it is the Word Of God That Matters, Not My Option. Be very careful who you trust with Spiritual matters, not everyone that says they are a knowledgeable Christian truly is.

1 Peter 1:16-17

Because It Is Written, Be Ye Holy; For I Am Holy. And If Ye Call On The Father, Who Without Respect Of Persons Judgeth According To Every Man's Work, Pass The Time Of Your Sojourning Here In Fear:

Romans 6:12-13,16,19-20,23

Let Not Sin Therefore Reign In Your Mortal Body, That Ye Should Obey It In The Lusts Thereof. Neither Yield Ye Your Members As Instruments Of Unrighteousness Unto Sin: But Yield Yourselves Unto God, As Those That Are Alive From The Dead, And Your Members As Instruments Of Righteousness Unto God.

[16] Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness?

[19] I Speak After The Manner Of Men Because Of The Infirmity Of Your Flesh: For As Ye Have Yielded Your Members Servants To Uncleanness And To Iniquity Unto Iniquity; Even So Now Yield Your Members Servants To Righteousness Unto Holiness. For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness.

[23] For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Romans 12:1-2

Romans 12:1-3

I Beseech You Therefore, Brethren, By The Mercies Of God, That Ye Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable Unto God, Which Is Your Reasonable Service. And Be Not Conformed To This World: But Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind, That Ye May Prove What Is That Good, And Acceptable, And Perfect, Will Of God. For I Say, Through The Grace Given Unto Me, To Every Man That Is Among You, Not To Think Of Himself More Highly Than He Ought To Think; But To Think Soberly, According As God Hath Dealt To Every Man The Measure Of Faith.

Ephesians 5:8-20

For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light: (For The Fruit Of The Spirit Is In All Goodness And Righteousness And Truth;) Proving What Is Acceptable Unto The Lord. And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, Awake Thou That Sleepest, And Arise From The Dead, And Christ Shall Give Thee Light. See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly, Not As Fools, But As Wise, Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil. Wherefore Be Ye Not Unwise, But Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is. And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit; Speaking To Yourselves In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing And Making Melody In Your Heart To The Lord; Giving Thanks Always For All Things Unto God And The Father In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ;

2 Peter 3:13-14,17-18

Nevertheless We, According To His Promise, Look For New Heavens And A New Earth, Wherein Dwelleth Righteousness. Wherefore, Beloved, Seeing That Ye Look For Such Things, Be Diligent That Ye May Be Found Of Him In Peace, Without Spot, And Blameless.

[17] Ye Therefore, Beloved, Seeing Ye Know These Things Before, Beware Lest Ye Also, Being Led Away With The Error Of The Wicked, Fall From Your Own Stedfastness. BUT GROW IN GRACE, AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD And Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him Be Glory Both Now And For Ever. Amen.

But Grow In Grace

2 Peter 1:2-10

Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, 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: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust. And Beside This, Giving All Diligence, Add To Your Faith Virtue; And To Virtue Knowledge; And To Knowledge Temperance; And To Temperance Patience; And To Patience Godliness; And To Godliness Brotherly Kindness; And To Brotherly Kindness Charity. For If These Things Be In You, And Abound, They Make You That Ye Shall Neither Be Barren Nor Unfruitful In The Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But He That Lacketh These Things Is Blind, And Cannot See Afar Off, And Hath Forgotten That He Was Purged From His Old Sins. Wherefore The Rather, Brethren, Give Diligence To Make Your Calling And Election Sure: For If Ye Do These Things, Ye Shall Never Fall:

John 4:23-24

But The Hour Cometh, And Now Is, When The True Worshippers Shall Worship The Father In Spirit And In Truth: For The Father Seeketh Such To Worship Him. God Is A Spirit: And They That Worship Him Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth.

John 1:16-17

And Of His Fulness Have All We Received, And Grace For Grace. For The Law Was Given By Moses, But Grace And Truth Came By Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3:18

But Grow In Grace, And In The Knowledge Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him Be Glory Both Now And For Ever. Amen.

Grace And Truth Came By Jesus Christ.

FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 4:4-5,11

Now To Him That Worketh Is The Reward Not Reckoned Of Grace, But Of Debt. But To Him That Worketh Not, But Believeth On Him That Justifieth The Ungodly, His FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

[11] And He Received The Sign Of Circumcision, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH Which He Had Yet Being Uncircumcised: That He Might Be The Father Of All Them That Believe, Though They Be Not Circumcised; That Righteousness Might Be Imputed Unto Them Also:

2 Corinthians 1:21-22

Now He Which Stablisheth Us With You In Christ, And Hath Anointed Us, Is God; WHO HATH ALSO SEALED US, And Given The Earnest Of The Spirit In Our Hearts.

Ephesians 1:13-14

In Whom Ye Also Trusted, After That Ye Heard The Word Of Truth, The Gospel Of Your Salvation: In Whom Also AFTER THAT YE BELIEVED, YE WERE SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT Of Promise, Which Is The Earnest Of Our Inheritance UNTIL THE REDEMPTION Of The Purchased Possession, Unto The Praise Of His Glory.

WHO HATH ALSO SEALED US WITH THE

SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH, AND THAT SEAL IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, UNTIL THE REDEMPTION OF OUR SOULS.

OUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD

Matthew 3:10

And Now Also The Axe Is Laid Unto The Root Of The Trees: Therefore EVERY TREE WHICH BRINGETH NOT FORTH GOOD FRUIT IS HEWN DOWN, AND CAST INTO THE FIRE.

Romans 1:18-32

For The Wrath Of God Is Revealed From Heaven Against All Ungodliness And Unrighteousness Of Men, Who Hold The Truth In Unrighteousness; Because That Which May Be Known Of God Is Manifest In Them; For God Hath Shewed It Unto Them. For The Invisible Things Of Him From The Creation Of The World Are Clearly Seen, Being Understood By The Things That Are Made, Even His Eternal Power And Godhead; So That They Are Without Excuse: Because That, When They Knew God, They Glorified Him Not As God, Neither Were Thankful; But Became Vain In Their Imaginations, And Their Foolish Heart Was Darkened. Professing Themselves To Be Wise, They Became Fools, And Changed The Glory Of The Uncorruptible God Into An Image Made Like To Corruptible Man, And To Birds, And Fourfooted Beasts, And Creeping Things. Wherefore God Also Gave Them Up To Uncleanness Through The Lusts Of Their Own Hearts, To Dishonour Their Own Bodies Between Themselves: Who Changed The Truth Of God Into A Lie, And Worshipped And Served The Creature More Than The Creator, Who Is Blessed For Ever. Amen. For This Cause God Gave Them Up Unto Vile Affections: For Even Their Women Did Change The Natural Use Into That Which Is Against Nature: And Likewise Also The Men, Leaving The Natural Use Of The Woman, Burned In Their Lust One Toward Another; Men With Men Working That Which Is Unseemly, And Receiving In Themselves That Recompence Of Their Error Which Was Meet. And Even As They Did Not Like To Retain God In Their Knowledge, God Gave Them Over To A Reprobate Mind, To Do Those Things Which Are Not Convenient; Being Filled With All Unrighteousness, Fornication, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full Of Envy, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity; Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters Of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors Of Evil Things, Disobedient To Parents, Without Understanding, Covenantbreakers, Without Natural Affection, Implacable, Unmerciful: Who Knowing THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, That They Which Commit Such Things Are Worthy Of Death, Not Only Do The Same, But Have Pleasure In Them That Do Them.

Romans 5:8-12,21

But God Commendeth His Love Toward Us, In That, While We Were Yet Sinners, Christ Died For Us. Much More Then, Being Now Justified By His Blood, We Shall Be Saved From Wrath Through Him. For If, When We Were Enemies, We Were Reconciled To God By The Death Of His Son, Much More, Being Reconciled, We Shall Be Saved By His Life. And Not Only So, But We Also Joy In God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom We Have Now Received The Atonement. Wherefore, As By One Man Sin Entered Into The World, And Death By Sin; And So Death Passed Upon All Men, For That All Have Sinned:

[21] That As Sin Hath Reigned Unto Death, Even So Might GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT

1 Corinthians 10:20-22

But I Say, That The Things Which The Gentiles Sacrifice, They Sacrifice To Devils, And Not To God: And I Would Not That Ye Should Have Fellowship With Devils. Ye Cannot Drink The Cup Of The Lord, And The Cup Of Devils: Ye Cannot Be Partakers Of The Lord's Table, And Of The Table Of Devils. Do We Provoke The Lord To Jealousy? Are We Stronger Than He?

Colossians 3:1-10

If Ye Then Be Risen With Christ, Seek Those Things Which Are Above, Where Christ Sitteth On The Right Hand Of God. Set Your Affection On Things Above, Not On Things On The Earth. For Ye Are Dead, And Your Life Is Hid With Christ In God. When Christ, Who Is Our Life, Shall Appear, Then Shall Ye Also Appear With Him In Glory. Mortify Therefore Your Members Which Are Upon The Earth; Fornication, Uncleanness, Inordinate Affection, Evil Concupiscence, And Covetousness, Which Is Idolatry: For Which Things' Sake The Wrath Of God Cometh On The Children Of Disobedience: In The Which Ye Also Walked Some Time, When Ye Lived In Them. But Now Ye Also Put Off All These; Anger, Wrath, Malice, Blasphemy, Filthy Communication Out Of Your Mouth. Lie Not One To Another, Seeing That Ye Have Put Off The Old Man With His Deeds; And Have Put On The New Man, Which Is Renewed In Knowledge After The Image Of Him That Created Him:

Ephesians 5:1-8

Be Ye Therefore Followers Of God, As Dear Children; And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Himself For Us An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour. But Fornication, And All Uncleanness, Or Covetousness, Let It Not Be Once Named Among You, As Becometh Saints; Neither Filthiness, Nor Foolish Talking, Nor Jesting, Which Are Not Convenient: But Rather Giving Of Thanks. For This Ye Know, That No Whoremonger, Nor Unclean Person, Nor Covetous Man, Who Is An Idolater, Hath Any Inheritance In The Kingdom Of Christ And Of God. Let No Man Deceive You With Vain Words: For Because Of These Things Cometh The Wrath Of God Upon The Children Of Disobedience. BE NOT YE THEREFORE PARTAKERS WITH THEM. FOR YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS, BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT:

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Know Ye Not That The Unrighteous Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God? Be Not Deceived: Neither Fornicators, Nor Idolaters, Nor Adulterers, Nor Effeminate, Nor Abusers Of Themselves With Mankind, Nor Thieves, Nor Covetous, Nor Drunkards, Nor Revilers, Nor Extortioners, Shall Inherit The Kingdom Of God. And Such WERE Some Of You: BUT YE ARE WASHED, BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT YE ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.

YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS, BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT: LIVE THE LIFE CHRIST JESUS DIED FOR YOU TO HAVE!

ENCOURAGE

1 John 3:22-24

And Whatsoever We Ask, We Receive Of Him, Because We Keep His Commandments, And Do Those Things That Are Pleasing In His Sight.

AND THIS IS HIS COMMANDMENT, THAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER,

As He Gave Us Commandment. And He That Keepeth His Commandments Dwelleth In Him, And He In Him. And Hereby We Know That He Abideth In Us, By The Spirit Which He Hath Given Us.

Love others by telling them about Jesus Christ.

Encourage them in the knowledge of Him and His

Holy Word. Speak and read Words Of Life. Think about good things and you will speak good things.

Philippians 4:4-8

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAY: AND AGAIN I SAY, REJOICE. Let Your Moderation Be Known Unto All Men. The Lord Is At Hand. Be Careful For Nothing; But In Every Thing By Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God. And The Peace Of God, Which Passeth All Understanding, Shall Keep Your Hearts And Minds Through Christ Jesus.

FINALLY, BRETHREN, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE HONEST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE OF GOOD REPORT; IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, AND IF THERE BE ANY PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS.

WILL YE

Psalm 22:1,6-8,13-18

My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Why Art Thou So Far From Helping Me, And From The Words Of My Roaring?

[6] But I Am A Worm, And No Man; A Reproach Of Men, And Despised Of The People. All They That See Me Laugh Me To Scorn: They Shoot Out The Lip, They Shake The Head, Saying, He Trusted On The Lord That He Would Deliver Him: Let Him Deliver Him, Seeing He Delighted In Him.

[13] They Gaped Upon Me With Their Mouths, As A Ravening And A Roaring Lion. I Am Poured Out Like Water, And All My Bones Are Out Of Joint: My Heart Is Like Wax; It Is Melted In The Midst Of My Bowels. My Strength Is Dried Up Like A Potsherd; And My Tongue Cleaveth To My Jaws; And Thou Hast Brought Me Into The Dust Of Death. For Dogs Have Compassed Me: The Assembly Of The Wicked Have Inclosed Me: They Pierced My Hands And My Feet. I May Tell All My Bones: They Look And Stare Upon Me. They Part My Garments Among Them, And Cast Lots Upon My Vesture.

Matthew 26:67-68

Then Did They Spit In His Face, And Buffeted Him; And Others Smote Him With The Palms Of Their Hands, Saying, Prophesy Unto Us, Thou Christ, Who Is He That Smote Thee?

Matthew 27:26-37

Then Released He Barabbas Unto Them: And When He Had Scourged Jesus, He Delivered Him To Be Crucified. Then The Soldiers Of The Governor Took Jesus Into The Common Hall, And Gathered Unto Him The Whole Band Of Soldiers. And They Stripped Him, And Put On Him A Scarlet Robe. And When They Had Platted A Crown Of Thorns, They Put It Upon His Head, And A Reed In His Right Hand: And They Bowed The Knee Before Him, And Mocked Him, Saying, Hail, King Of The Jews! And They Spit Upon Him, And Took The Reed, And Smote Him On The Head. And After That They Had Mocked Him, They Took The Robe Off From Him, And Put His Own Raiment On Him, And Led Him Away To Crucify Him. And As They Came Out, They Found A Man Of Cyrene, Simon By Name: Him They Compelled To Bear His Cross. And When They Were Come Unto A Place Called Golgotha, That Is To Say, A Place Of A Skull, They Gave Him Vinegar To Drink Mingled With Gall: And When He Had Tasted Thereof, He Would Not Drink. And They Crucified Him, And Parted His Garments, Casting Lots: That It Might Be Fulfilled Which Was Spoken By The Prophet, They Parted My Garments Among Them, And Upon My Vesture Did They Cast Lots. And Sitting Down They Watched Him There; And Set Up Over His Head His Accusation Written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

John 6:66-67

FROM THAT TIME MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?

YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS

1 JOHN 3:7

LITTLE CHILDREN, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU: HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

1 JOHN 3:8

HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; FOR THE DEVIL SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

You Are Either Born Again Of The Spirit, A Child Of God, A New Creature, Washed, Cleansed, Sanctified, Justified, And Righteous, Or The Same Old Wretched Man Sinner Man, Child Of The Devil. You Are Either Light Or Darkness.

You Are Either Heaven Or The Lake Of Fire Bound.

YOU ARE NOT BOTH.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:11

AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU: BUT YE ARE WASHED, BUT YE ARE SANCTIFIED, BUT YE ARE JUSTIFIED IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, AND BY THE SPIRIT OF OUR GOD.

Ephesians 5:8

FOR YE WERE SOMETIMES DARKNESS, BUT NOW ARE YE LIGHT IN THE LORD: WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT:

YE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY: WE ARE NOT OF THE NIGHT, NOR OF DARKNESS.

DID JESUS DIE IN VAIN?

Galatians 2:20-21

I Am Crucified With Christ: Nevertheless, I Live; Yet Not I, But Christ Liveth In Me: And The Life Which I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By The Faith Of The Son Of God, Who Loved Me, And Gave Himself For Me.

I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

My husband asked me why I get so frustrated with people that do not believe the way that I do.

I thought about that and said, I do not get frustrated with babes in Christ or the unlearned. I get frustrated with so-called preachers and teachers who try to make Salvation and Righteousness up to me, by teaching The Law. They In Truth Are Belittling The Need For Christ Jesus And His Perfect Sacrifice. They will say if you "sin" there is a division between you and God, or that He turns His Face away from you, some will say that you have to be Saved all over again. The New Testament will show you how ALL of these statements are completely false. These so-called preachers are not Preaching The True Gospel. The True Gospel tells us in

1 John 3:8-9

He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil. WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

Romans 8:1-2

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After THE SPIRIT. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

Hebrews 13:5

Let Your Conversation Be Without Covetousness; And Be Content With Such Things As Ye Have: For HE HATH SAID, I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE.

Romans 8:34-35,38-39

Who Is He That Condemneth? It Is Christ That Died, Yea Rather, That Is Risen Again, Who Is Even At The Right Hand Of God, Who Also Maketh Intercession For Us. Who Shall Separate Us From The Love Of Christ? Shall Tribulation, Or Distress, Or Persecution, Or Famine, Or Nakedness, Or Peril, Or Sword?

[38] FOR I AM PERSUADED, THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPALITIES, NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME, 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.

If my Righteousness was left up to me to stay Saved, then I would lose my Salvation at the first minute. Because it says in

Romans 7:12,14

Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good.

[14] For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin. That Is Why We Have To Be Born Again Of The Holy Spirit. But When You Are Born Again Of The Holy Spirit You Become Spirit, because you have died to your flesh. John 3:6

That Which Is Born Of The Flesh Is Flesh; And That Which Is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit.

Galatians 5:24-25

And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

If Salvation And Righteousness were within my ability then there would be no need for Christ Jesus. So what I get is Righteous anger with people that put Grace Bought Children back under The Law. I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain. I Certainly Never Want To Be One Of The Teachers Frustrating The Grace Of God, I Want To Always Teach Christ Jesus And The Need For His Perfect Sacrifice. I will never teach self-sufficiency, CHRIST JESUS WILL NEVER DIE IN VAIN IN MY TEACHING.

DAUGHTER

Matthew 9:22

But Jesus Turned Him About, And When He Saw Her, He Said, Daughter, Be Of Good Comfort; Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole. And The Woman Was Made Whole From That Hour.

Mark 5:34

And He Said Unto Her, Daughter, Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole; Go In Peace, And Be Whole Of Thy Plague.

Luke 23:28

But Jesus Turning Unto Them Said, Daughters Of Jerusalem, Weep Not For Me, But Weep For Yourselves, And For Your Children.

Acts 2:17-18

And It Shall Come To Pass In The Last Days, Saith God, I Will Pour Out Of My Spirit Upon All Flesh: And Your Sons And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy, And Your Young Men Shall See Visions, And Your Old Men Shall Dream Dreams: And On My Servants And On My Handmaidens I Will Pour Out In Those Days Of My Spirit; And They Shall Prophesy:

Acts 21:9

And The Same Man Had Four Daughters, Virgins, Which Did Prophesy.

Daughter: a girl or woman with either or both of her parents.

Just because I am Saved, does not mean that I became a man or son of God. I am a Child as they are but I am still a woman. I am still in the same position that God put into place at Creation. Being equal with man is from the world, not God. Just as satan wanted to

be as God, he was and will always be under Him, and so shall the woman be under the man. If you have a problem with this statement then you have a problem with The Word Of God.

Don't let the world's perspective skew your vision of The Truth.

1 Timothy 2:12-13

But I Suffer Not A Woman To Teach, Nor To Usurp Authority Over The Man, But To Be In Silence. For Adam Was First Formed, Then Eve.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Let Your Women Keep Silence In The Churches: For It Is Not Permitted Unto Them To Speak; But They Are Commanded To Be Under Obedience, As Also Saith The Law. And If They Will Learn Any Thing, Let Them Ask Their Husbands At Home: For It Is A Shame For Women To Speak In The Church.

PREACHING OF THE CROSS

Galatians 6:14

But God Forbid That I Should Glory, Save In The Cross Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, By Whom The World Is Crucified Unto Me, And I Unto The World.

1 Corinthians 1:18

For The PREACHING OF THE CROSS Is To Them That Perish Foolishness; But Unto Us Which Are Saved It Is The Power Of God.

Romans 1:16-18

For I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Of Christ: For It Is The Power Of God Unto Salvation To Every One That Believeth; To The Jew First, And Also To The Greek. For Therein Is The Righteousness Of God Revealed From Faith To Faith: As It Is Written, The Just Shall Live By Faith. For The Wrath Of God Is Revealed From Heaven Against All Ungodliness And Unrighteousness Of Men, Who Hold The Truth In Unrighteousness;

I Will Always Teach About Jesus Christ And His Perfect Sacrifice On The Cross Because It Is The Power Of God And The Power Of His Salvation.

If you are not preaching or teaching The Sacrifice Of Christ then how will people believe unto Salvation? Salvation is why Jesus Christ was Manifested. Jesus Christ came to Save souls from the wrath of God which is to come. The whole purpose of Jesus Christ living as a human was to fulfill The Law Of God. He succeeded where our attempts always turned into failure. The Law Is The Number One Priority of God. He Commands That His Law Be Kept By You Perfectly. We can not keep the law as required by God because of the weakness of our flesh. God sent Jesus in human form to keep The Law for us.

When we believe in Jesus Christ at Salvation, that is called Faith. Faith is we trust Jesus is The Son Of God and that He died and was punished for the weaknesses of our flesh. Breaking The Law Of God is called sin. When you break The Law Of God you become a sinner. Because when you break The Law Of God a division comes between you and God. You are divided from God until you pay for that sin. You can not just say that you are sorry, God requires you to do something in particular and that is to sacrifice as an offering to a priest once a year for your sins. Now since most

of us are not Jewish, we have no way to offer our sacrifice to God. Only the Jewish people have priests and temples of God. The Jewish people were chosen by God to be His. We Gentiles were not able to come to God. The Jewish people were the ones who received The Law Of God, not the Gentiles. Here is where Jesus Christ comes in, Jesu Christ offered Himself for all of the sins of the whole world, not just the Jewish people. That includes me and you. It Is Only Through Christ Jesus that we can know or be known by God. So I will always teach of The Cross Of Christ Jesus And His Perfect Sacrifice, for me. Being Born Again Of The Spirit This Life I Now Live, I Live In The Power Of Christ Jesus, Not In The Weakness Of My Flesh. MY Flesh Is Dead It Was Crucified With Christ Jesus On His Cross.

Romans 8:3

For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh:

Romans 8:1-4

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.

GALATIANS 5:24

AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS.
