THE GOSPEL OF PEACE: January 2024

OTHER SHEEP

John 10:27-30

My Sheep Hear My Voice, And I Know Them, And They Follow Me: And I Give Unto Them Eternal Life; And They Shall Never Perish, Neither Shall Any Man Pluck Them Out Of My Hand. My Father, Which Gave Them Me, Is Greater Than All; And No Man Is Able To Pluck Them Out Of My Father's Hand. I And My Father Are One.

John 10:1-18

Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, He That Entereth Not By The Door Into The Sheepfold, But Climbeth Up Some Other Way, The Same Is A Thief And A Robber. But He That Entereth In By The Door Is The Shepherd Of The Sheep. To Him The Porter Openeth; And The Sheep Hear His Voice: And He Calleth His Own Sheep By Name, And Leadeth Them Out. And When He Putteth Forth His Own Sheep, He Goeth Before Them, And The Sheep Follow Him: For They Know His Voice. And A Stranger Will They Not Follow, But Will Flee From Him: For They Know Not The Voice Of Strangers. This Parable Spake Jesus Unto Them: But They Understood Not What Things They Were Which He Spake Unto Them. Then Said Jesus Unto Them Again, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto You, I Am The Door Of The Sheep. All That Ever Came Before Me Are Thieves And Robbers: But The Sheep Did Not Hear Them. I Am The Door: By Me If Any Man Enter In, He Shall Be Saved, And Shall Go In And Out, And Find Pasture. The Thief Cometh Not, But For To Steal, And To Kill, And To Destroy: I Am Come That They Might Have Life, And That They Might Have It More Abundantly. I Am The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd Giveth His Life For The Sheep. But He That Is An Hireling, And Not The Shepherd, Whose Own The Sheep Are Not, Seeth The Wolf Coming, And Leaveth The Sheep, And Fleeth: And The Wolf Catcheth Them, And Scattereth The Sheep. The Hireling Fleeth, Because He Is An Hireling, And Careth Not For The Sheep. I Am The Good Shepherd, And Know My Sheep, And Am Known Of Mine. As The Father Knoweth Me, Even So Know I The Father: And I Lay Down My Life For The Sheep. And Other Sheep I Have, Which Are Not Of This Fold: Them Also I Must Bring, And They Shall Hear My Voice; And There Shall Be One Fold, And One Shepherd. Therefore Doth My Father Love Me, Because I Lay Down My Life, That I Might Take It Again. No Man Taketh It From Me, But I Lay It Down Of Myself. I Have Power To Lay It Down, And I Have Power To Take It Again. This Commandment Have I Received Of My Father.

Other Sheep I Have, Which Are Not Of This Fold: Them Also I Must Bring, And They Shall Hear My Voice; And There Shall Be One Fold, And One Shepherd.

This Is us, We Are The Gentiles, We Are The OTHER SHEEP!

If Jesus Christ Had Not Fulfilled The Law We Would Still Be Lost.

Ephesians 2:4-22

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: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. 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. Wherefore Remember, That Ye Being In Time Past Gentiles In The Flesh, Who Are Called Uncircumcision By That Which Is Called The Circumcision In The Flesh Made By Hands; That At That Time Ye Were Without Christ, Being Aliens From The Commonwealth Of Israel, And Strangers From The Covenants Of Promise, Having No Hope, And Without God In The World: But Now In Christ Jesus Ye Who Sometimes Were Far Off Are Made Nigh By The Blood Of Christ. 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: And Came And Preached Peace To You Which Were Afar Off, And To Them That Were Nigh. For Through Him We Both Have Access By One Spirit Unto The Father. Now Therefore Ye Are No More Strangers And Foreigners, But Fellowcitizens With The Saints, And Of The Household Of God; And Are Built Upon The Foundation Of The Apostles And Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself Being The Chief Corner Stone; In Whom All The Building Fitly Framed Together Groweth Unto An Holy Temple In The Lord: In Whom Ye Also Are Builded Together For An Habitation Of God Through The Spirit.

Romans 6:14-23

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. 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.

Praise God For Grace!

THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE

Matthew 23:17

Ye Fools And Blind: For Whether Is Greater, The Gold, Or The Temple That Sanctifieth The Gold?

1 Corinthians 3:4-17

For While One Saith, I Am Of Paul; And Another, I Am Of Apollos; Are Ye Not Carnal? Who Then Is Paul, And Who Is Apollos, But Ministers By Whom Ye Believed, Even As The Lord Gave To Every Man? I Have Planted, Apollos Watered; But God Gave The Increase. So Then Neither Is He That Planteth Any Thing, Neither He That Watereth; But God That Giveth The Increase. Now He That Planteth And He That Watereth Are One: And Every Man Shall Receive His Own Reward According To His Own Labour. For We Are Labourers Together With God: Ye Are God's Husbandry, Ye Are God's Building. According To The Grace Of God Which Is Given Unto Me, As A Wise Masterbuilder, I Have Laid The Foundation, And Another Buildeth Thereon. But Let Every Man Take Heed How He Buildeth Thereupon. For Other Foundation Can No Man Lay Than That Is Laid, Which Is Jesus Christ. Now If Any Man Build Upon This Foundation Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Wood, Hay, Stubble; Every Man's Work Shall Be Made Manifest: For The Day Shall Declare It, Because It Shall Be Revealed By Fire; And The Fire Shall Try Every Man's Work Of What Sort It Is. If Any Man's Work Abide Which He Hath Built Thereupon, He Shall Receive A Reward. If Any Man's Work Shall Be Burned, He Shall Suffer Loss: But He Himself Shall Be Saved; Yet So As By Fire. Know Ye Not That Ye Are The Temple Of God, And That The Spirit Of God Dwelleth In You? If Any Man Defile The Temple Of God, Him Shall God Destroy; For THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE.

2 Corinthians 3:3-8

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious?

Ephesians 4:1-7

I Therefore, The Prisoner Of The Lord, Beseech You That Ye Walk Worthy Of The Vocation Wherewith Ye Are Called, With All Lowliness And Meekness, With Longsuffering, Forbearing One Another In Love; Endeavouring To Keep The Unity Of The Spirit In The Bond Of Peace. There Is One Body, And One Spirit, Even As Ye Are Called In One Hope Of Your Calling; One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God And Father Of All, Who Is Above All, And Through All, And In You All. But Unto Every One Of Us Is Given Grace According To The Measure Of The Gift Of Christ.

Romans 12:1-21

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. For As We Have Many Members In One Body, And All Members Have Not The Same Office: So We, Being Many, Are One Body In Christ, And Every One Members One Of Another. Having Then Gifts Differing According To The Grace That Is Given To Us, Whether Prophecy, Let Us Prophesy According To The Proportion Of Faith; Or Ministry, Let Us Wait On Our Ministering: Or He That Teacheth, On Teaching; Or He That Exhorteth, On Exhortation: He That Giveth, Let Him Do It With Simplicity; He That Ruleth, With Diligence; He That Sheweth Mercy, With Cheerfulness. Let Love Be Without Dissimulation. Abhor That Which Is Evil; Cleave To That Which Is Good. Be Kindly Affectioned One To Another With Brotherly Love; In Honour Preferring One Another; Not Slothful In Business; Fervent In Spirit; Serving The Lord; Rejoicing In Hope; Patient In Tribulation; Continuing Instant In Prayer; Distributing To The Necessity Of Saints; Given To Hospitality. Bless Them Which Persecute You: Bless, And Curse Not. Rejoice With Them That Do Rejoice, And Weep With Them That Weep. Be Of The Same Mind One Toward Another. Mind Not High Things, But Condescend To Men Of Low Estate. Be Not Wise In Your Own Conceits. Recompense To No Man Evil For Evil. Provide Things Honest In The Sight Of All Men. If It Be Possible, As Much As Lieth In You, Live Peaceably With All Men. Dearly Beloved, Avenge Not Yourselves, But Rather Give Place Unto Wrath: For It Is Written, Vengeance Is Mine; I Will Repay, Saith The Lord. Therefore If Thine Enemy Hunger, Feed Him; If He Thirst, Give Him Drink: For In So Doing Thou Shalt Heap Coals Of Fire On His Head. Be Not Overcome Of Evil, But Overcome Evil With Good.

1 Corinthians 12:3-31,13:1-13

Wherefore I Give You To Understand, That No Man Speaking By The Spirit Of God Calleth Jesus Accursed: And That No Man Can Say That Jesus Is The Lord, But By The Holy Ghost. Now There Are Diversities Of Gifts, But The Same Spirit. And There Are Differences Of Administrations, But The Same Lord. And There Are Diversities Of Operations, But It Is The Same God Which Worketh All In All. But The Manifestation Of The Spirit Is Given To Every Man To Profit Withal. For To One Is Given By The Spirit The Word Of Wisdom; To Another The Word Of Knowledge By The Same Spirit; To Another Faith By The Same Spirit; To Another The Gifts Of Healing By The Same Spirit; To Another The Working Of Miracles; To Another Prophecy; To Another Discerning Of Spirits; To Another Divers Kinds Of Tongues; To Another The Interpretation Of Tongues: But All These Worketh That One And The Selfsame Spirit, Dividing To Every Man Severally As He Will. For As The Body Is One, And Hath Many Members, And All The Members Of That One Body, Being Many, Are One Body: So Also Is Christ. For By One Spirit Are We All Baptized Into One Body, Whether We Be Jews Or Gentiles, Whether We Be Bond Or Free; And Have Been All Made To Drink Into One Spirit. For The Body Is Not One Member, But Many. If The Foot Shall Say, Because I Am Not The Hand, I Am Not Of The Body; Is It Therefore Not Of The Body? And If The Ear Shall Say, Because I Am Not The Eye, I Am Not Of The Body; Is It Therefore Not Of The Body? If The Whole Body Were An Eye, Where Were The Hearing? If The Whole Were Hearing, Where Were The Smelling? But Now Hath God Set The Members Every One Of Them In The Body, As It Hath Pleased Him. And If They Were All One Member, Where Were The Body? But Now Are They Many Members, Yet But One Body. And The Eye Cannot Say Unto The Hand, I Have No Need Of Thee: Nor Again The Head To The Feet, I Have No Need Of You. Nay, Much More Those Members Of The Body, Which Seem To Be More Feeble, Are Necessary: And Those Members Of The Body, Which We Think To Be Less Honourable, Upon These We Bestow More Abundant Honour; And Our Uncomely Parts Have More Abundant Comeliness. For Our Comely Parts Have No Need: But God Hath Tempered The Body Together, Having Given More Abundant Honour To That Part Which Lacked: That There Should Be No Schism In The Body; But That The Members Should Have The Same Care One For Another. And Whether One Member Suffer, All The Members Suffer With It; Or One Member Be Honoured, All The Members Rejoice With It. Now Ye Are The Body Of Christ, And Members In Particular. And God Hath Set Some In The Church, First Apostles, Secondarily Prophets, Thirdly Teachers, After That Miracles, Then Gifts Of Healings, Helps, Governments, Diversities Of Tongues. Are All Apostles? Are All Prophets? Are All Teachers? Are All Workers Of Miracles? Have All The Gifts Of Healing? Do All Speak With Tongues? Do All Interpret? But Covet Earnestly The Best Gifts: And Yet Shew I Unto You A More Excellent Way. Though I Speak With The Tongues Of Men And Of Angels, And Have Not Charity, I Am Become As Sounding Brass, Or A Tinkling Cymbal. And Though I Have The Gift Of Prophecy, And Understand All Mysteries, And All Knowledge; And Though I Have All Faith, So That I Could Remove Mountains, And Have Not Charity, I Am Nothing. And Though I Bestow All My Goods To Feed The Poor, And Though I Give My Body To Be Burned, And Have Not Charity, It Profiteth Me Nothing. Charity Suffereth Long, And Is Kind; Charity Envieth Not; Charity Vaunteth Not Itself, Is Not Puffed Up, Doth Not Behave Itself Unseemly, Seeketh Not Her Own, Is Not Easily Provoked, Thinketh No Evil; Rejoiceth Not In Iniquity, But Rejoiceth In The Truth; Beareth All Things, Believeth All Things, Hopeth All Things, Endureth All Things. 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. For We Know In Part, And We Prophesy In Part. But When That Which Is Perfect Is Come, Then That Which Is In Part Shall Be Done Away. When I Was A Child, I Spake As A Child, I Understood As A Child, I Thought As A Child: But When I Became A Man, I Put Away Childish Things. For Now We See Through A Glass, Darkly; But Then Face To Face: Now I Know In Part; But Then Shall I Know Even As Also I Am Known. And Now Abideth Faith, Hope, Charity, These Three; But The Greatest Of These Is Charity.

Hebrews 6:1-3

Therefore Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ, Let Us Go On Unto Perfection; Not Laying Again The Foundation Of Repentance From Dead Works, And Of Faith Toward God, Of The Doctrine Of Baptisms, And Of Laying On Of Hands, And Of Resurrection Of The Dead, And Of Eternal Judgment. And This Will We Do, If God Permit.

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.

TO THE FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL

Mark 15:34

And At The Ninth Hour Jesus Cried With A Loud Voice, Saying, Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani? Which Is, Being Interpreted, My God, My God, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?

Philippians 1:3-30,2:1-11

I Thank My God Upon Every Remembrance Of You, Always In Every Prayer Of Mine For You All Making Request With Joy, For Your Fellowship In The Gospel From The First Day Until Now; Being Confident Of This Very Thing, That He Which Hath Begun A Good Work In You Will Perform It Until The Day Of Jesus Christ: Even As It Is Meet For Me To Think This Of You All, Because I Have You In My Heart; Inasmuch As Both In My Bonds, And In The Defence And Confirmation Of The Gospel, Ye All Are Partakers Of My Grace. For God Is My Record, How Greatly I Long After You All In The Bowels Of Jesus Christ. And This I Pray, That Your Love May Abound Yet More And More In Knowledge And In All Judgment; That Ye May Approve Things That Are Excellent; That Ye May Be Sincere And Without Offence Till The Day Of Christ; Being Filled With The Fruits Of Righteousness, Which Are By Jesus Christ, Unto The Glory And Praise Of God. But I Would Ye Should Understand, Brethren, That THE THINGS WHICH HAPPENED UNTO ME HAVE FALLEN OUT RATHER UNTO THE FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; So That My Bonds In Christ Are Manifest In All The Palace, And In All Other Places; And Many Of The Brethren In The Lord, Waxing Confident By My Bonds, Are Much More Bold To Speak The Word Without Fear. Some Indeed Preach Christ Even Of Envy And Strife; And Some Also Of Good Will: The One Preach Christ Of Contention, Not Sincerely, Supposing To Add Affliction To My Bonds: But The Other Of Love, Knowing That I Am Set For The Defence Of The Gospel. What Then? Notwithstanding, Every Way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, CHRIST IS PREACHED; And I Therein Do Rejoice, Yea, And Will Rejoice. For I Know That This Shall Turn To My Salvation Through Your Prayer, And The Supply Of The Spirit Of Jesus Christ, According To My Earnest Expectation And My Hope, That In Nothing I Shall Be Ashamed, But That With All Boldness, As Always, So Now Also Christ Shall Be Magnified In My Body, Whether It Be By Life, Or By Death. For To Me To Live Is Christ, And To Die Is Gain. But If I Live In The Flesh, This Is The Fruit Of My Labour: Yet What I Shall Choose I Wot Not. For I Am In A Strait Betwixt Two, Having A Desire To Depart, And To Be With Christ; Which Is Far Better: Nevertheless To Abide In The Flesh Is More Needful For You. And Having This Confidence, I Know That I Shall Abide And Continue With You All For Your Furtherance And Joy Of Faith; That Your Rejoicing May Be More Abundant In Jesus Christ For Me By My Coming To You Again. Only Let Your Conversation Be As It Becometh The Gospel Of Christ: That Whether I Come And See You, Or Else Be Absent, I May Hear Of Your Affairs, That Ye STAND FAST IN ONE SPIRIT, WITH ONE MIND STRIVING TOGETHER FOR THE FAITH OF THE GOSPEL; AND IN NOTHING TERRIFIED BY YOUR ADVERSARIES: Which Is To Them An Evident Token Of Perdition, But To You Of Salvation, And That Of God. For Unto You It Is Given In The Behalf Of Christ, Not Only To Believe On Him, But Also To Suffer For His Sake; Having The Same Conflict Which Ye Saw In Me, And Now Hear To Be In Me. If There Be Therefore Any Consolation In Christ, If Any Comfort Of Love, If Any Fellowship Of The Spirit, If Any Bowels And Mercies, Fulfil Ye My Joy, That Ye Be Likeminded, Having The Same Love, Being Of One Accord, Of One Mind. Let Nothing Be Done Through Strife Or Vainglory; But In Lowliness Of Mind Let Each Esteem Other Better Than Themselves. Look Not Every Man On His Own Things, But Every Man Also On The Things Of Others. Let This Mind Be In You, Which Was Also In Christ Jesus: Who, Being In The Form Of God, Thought It Not Robbery To Be Equal With God: But Made Himself Of No Reputation, And Took Upon Him The Form Of A Servant, And Was Made In The Likeness Of Men: And Being Found In Fashion As A Man, He Humbled Himself, And Became Obedient Unto Death, Even The Death Of The Cross. Wherefore God Also Hath Highly Exalted Him, And Given Him A Name Which Is Above Every Name: That At The Name Of Jesus Every Knee Should Bow, Of Things In Heaven, And Things In Earth, And Things Under The Earth; And That Every Tongue Should Confess That Jesus Christ Is Lord, To The Glory Of God The Father.

Genesis 50:19-20

And Joseph Said Unto Them, Fear Not: For Am I In The Place Of God? But As For You, YE THOUGHT EVIL AGAINST ME; BUT GOD MEANT IT UNTO GOOD, To Bring To Pass, As It Is This Day, To Save Much People Alive.

Romans 5:1-5

Therefore Being Justified By Faith, We Have Peace With God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ: By Whom Also We Have Access By Faith Into This Grace Wherein We Stand, And Rejoice In Hope Of The Glory Of God. And Not Only So, But We GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS Also: Knowing That Tribulation Worketh Patience; And Patience, Experience; And Experience, Hope: And Hope Maketh Not Ashamed; Because The Love Of God Is Shed Abroad In Our Hearts By The Holy Ghost Which Is Given Unto Us.

Not Everything That Seems Bad Is Punishment From God;

What Looks Like Evil, Or God Forsaking Us, Can Sometimes Be For The Furtherance Of Salvation, For Strengthening Us To Be Able To Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ. I Would Love To Let This Study Stop Here, But I Would Be Remiss If I Did Not Give The Whole Word Of God.

We Do, However, Need To Know The Difference Between Chastisement Of God And Strengthening Because God Will Punish Us As His Children For Their Disobedience.

Hebrews 12:5-17

And Ye Have Forgotten The Exhortation Which Speaketh Unto You As Unto Children, My Son, Despise Not Thou The Chastening Of The Lord, Nor Faint When Thou Art Rebuked Of Him: For Whom The Lord Loveth He Chasteneth, And Scourgeth Every Son Whom He Receiveth. If Ye Endure Chastening, God Dealeth With You As With Sons; For What Son Is He Whom The Father Chasteneth Not? But If Ye Be Without Chastisement, Whereof All Are Partakers, Then Are Ye Bastards, And Not Sons. Furthermore We Have Had Fathers Of Our Flesh Which Corrected Us, And We Gave Them Reverence: Shall We Not Much Rather Be In Subjection Unto The Father Of Spirits, And Live? For They Verily For A Few Days Chastened Us After Their Own Pleasure; BUT HE FOR OUR PROFIT, THAT WE MIGHT BE PARTAKERS OF HIS HOLINESS. NOW NO CHASTENING FOR THE PRESENT SEEMETH TO BE JOYOUS, BUT GRIEVOUS: NEVERTHELESS AFTERWARD IT YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO THEM WHICH ARE EXERCISED THEREBY. Wherefore Lift Up The Hands Which Hang Down, And The Feeble Knees; And Make Straight Paths For Your Feet, Lest That Which Is Lame Be Turned Out Of The Way; But Let It Rather Be Healed. Follow Peace With All Men, And Holiness, Without Which No Man Shall See The Lord: Looking Diligently Lest Any Man Fail Of The Grace Of God; Lest Any Root Of Bitterness Springing Up Trouble You, And Thereby Many Be Defiled; Lest There Be Any Fornicator, Or Profane Person, As Esau, Who For One Morsel Of Meat Sold His Birthright. For Ye Know How That Afterward, When He Would Have Inherited The Blessing, He Was Rejected: For He Found No Place Of Repentance, Though He Sought It Carefully With Tears.

Now The Chastisement Of God Is For Our Good Also And Is For Our Profit, That We Might Be Partakers Of His Holiness. Now No Chastening For The Present Seemeth To Be Joyous, But Grievous: Nevertheless Afterward It Yieldeth The Peaceable Fruit Of Righteousness Unto Them Which Are Exercised Thereby.

Philippians 1:2

Grace Be Unto You, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ.

THE NEW TESTAMENT

Exodus 34:27-35

And The Lord Said Unto Moses, Write Thou These Words: For After The Tenor Of These Words I Have Made A Covenant With Thee And With Israel. And He Was There With The Lord Forty Days And Forty Nights; He Did Neither Eat Bread, Nor Drink Water. And He Wrote Upon The Tables The Words Of The Covenant, The Ten Commandments. And It Came To Pass, When Moses Came Down From Mount Sinai With The Two Tables Of Testimony In Moses' Hand, When He Came Down From The Mount, That Moses Wist Not That The Skin Of His Face Shone While He Talked With Him. And When Aaron And All The Children Of Israel Saw Moses, Behold, The Skin Of His Face Shone; And They Were Afraid To Come Nigh Him. And Moses Called Unto Them; And Aaron And All The Rulers Of The Congregation Returned Unto Him: And Moses Talked With Them. And Afterward All The Children Of Israel Came Nigh: And He Gave Them In Commandment All That The Lord Had Spoken With Him In Mount Sinai. And Till Moses Had Done Speaking With Them, He Put A Vail On His Face. But When Moses Went In Before The Lord To Speak With Him, He Took The Vail Off, Until He Came Out. And He Came Out, And Spake Unto The Children Of Israel That Which He Was Commanded. And The Children Of Israel Saw The Face Of Moses, That The Skin Of Moses' Face Shone: And Moses Put The Vail Upon His Face Again, Until He Went In To Speak With Him.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28

Behold, I Set Before You This Day A Blessing And A Curse; A Blessing, If Ye Obey The Commandments Of The Lord Your God, Which I Command You This Day: And A Curse, If Ye Will Not Obey The Commandments Of The Lord Your God, But Turn Aside Out Of The Way Which I Command You This Day, To Go After Other Gods, Which Ye Have Not Known.

Deuteronomy 27:26

Cursed Be He That Confirmeth Not All The Words Of This Law To Do Them. And All The People Shall Say, Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:14-17

But Their Minds Were Blinded: For Until This Day Remaineth The Same Vail Untaken Away In The Reading Of The Old Testament; Which Vail Is Done Away In Christ. But Even Unto This Day, When Moses Is Read, The Vail Is Upon Their Heart. Nevertheless When It Shall Turn To The Lord, The Vail Shall Be Taken Away. Now The Lord Is That Spirit: And Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is, There Is Liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:3-9

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of THE NEW TESTAMENT; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious? For If The Ministration Of Condemnation Be Glory, Much More Doth The Ministration Of Righteousness Exceed In Glory.

Hebrews 8:6-13

But Now Hath He Obtained A More Excellent Ministry, By How Much Also He Is The Mediator Of A Better Covenant, Which Was Established Upon Better Promises. For If That First Covenant Had Been Faultless, Then Should No Place Have Been Sought For The Second. For Finding Fault With Them, He Saith, Behold, The Days Come, Saith The Lord, When I Will Make A New Covenant With The House Of Israel And With The House Of Judah: Not According To The Covenant That I Made With Their Fathers In The Day When I Took Them By The Hand To Lead Them Out Of The Land Of Egypt; Because They Continued Not In My Covenant, And I Regarded Them Not, Saith The Lord. For This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With The House Of Israel After Those Days, Saith The Lord; I Will Put My Laws Into Their Mind, And Write Them In Their Hearts: And I Will Be To Them A God, And They Shall Be To Me A People: And They Shall Not Teach Every Man His Neighbour, And Every Man His Brother, Saying, Know The Lord: For All Shall Know Me, From The Least To The Greatest. For I Will Be Merciful To Their Unrighteousness, And Their Sins And Their Iniquities Will I Remember No More. In That He Saith, A New Covenant, He Hath Made The First Old. Now That Which Decayeth And Waxeth Old Is Ready To Vanish Away.

Galatians 3:10-13

For As Many As Are Of The Works Of The Law Are Under The Curse: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Continueth Not In All Things Which Are Written In The Book Of The Law To Do Them. But That No Man Is Justified By The Law In The Sight Of God, It Is Evident: For, The Just Shall Live By Faith. And The Law Is Not Of Faith: But, The Man That Doeth Them Shall Live In Them. Christ Hath Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

Galatians 3:19-26

Wherefore Then Serveth The Law? It Was Added Because Of Transgressions, Till The Seed Should Come To Whom The Promise Was Made; And It Was Ordained By Angels In The Hand Of A Mediator. Now A Mediator Is Not A Mediator Of One, But God Is One. Is The Law Then Against The Promises Of God? God Forbid: For If There Had Been A Law Given Which Could Have Given Life, Verily Righteousness Should Have Been By The Law. But The Scripture Hath Concluded All Under Sin, That The Promise By Faith Of Jesus Christ Might Be Given To Them That Believe. But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. For Ye Are All The Children Of God By Faith In Christ Jesus.

Matthew 11:13

For All The Prophets And The Law Prophesied Until John.

Luke 16:16

The Law And The Prophets Were Until John: Since That Time The Kingdom Of God Is Preached, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

Romans 3:21-22

But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; Even The Righteousness Of God Which Is By Faith Of Jesus Christ Unto All And Upon All Them That Believe: For There Is No Difference:

2 Corinthians 3:11

For If That Which Is Done Away Was Glorious, Much More That Which Remaineth Is Glorious.

THY FIRST LOVE

Revelation 2:1-7

Unto The Angel Of The Church Of Ephesus Write; These Things Saith He That Holdeth The Seven Stars In His Right Hand, Who Walketh In The Midst Of The Seven Golden Candlesticks; I Know Thy Works, And Thy Labour, And Thy Patience, And How Thou Canst Not Bear Them Which Are Evil: And Thou Hast Tried Them Which Say They Are Apostles, And Are Not, And Hast Found Them Liars: And Hast Borne, And Hast Patience, And For My Name's Sake Hast Laboured, And Hast Not Fainted. Nevertheless I Have Somewhat Against Thee, Because Thou Hast Left THY FIRST LOVE. Remember Therefore From Whence Thou Art Fallen, And Repent, And Do The First Works; Or Else I Will Come Unto Thee Quickly, And Will Remove Thy Candlestick Out Of His Place, Except Thou Repent. But This Thou Hast, That Thou Hatest The Deeds Of The Nicolaitans, Which I Also Hate. He That Hath An Ear, Let Him Hear What The Spirit Saith Unto The Churches; To Him That Overcometh Will I Give To Eat Of The Tree Of Life, Which Is In The Midst Of The Paradise Of God.

Can you work and stand for The Lord Jesus Christ and leave Him simultaneously? Yes, you can, you can do all of the right things; you can even learn The Word Of God And get so caught up in good things and forget to keep The Person Jesus Christ in the forefront of your reasoning. Fall in love every day with Jesus Christ, take up your cross daily, and follow Him.

Always remember that

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS BORN TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS BEATEN, SPIT UPON AND MOCKED.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS STRIPPED NAKED IN FRONT OF UNITS OF SOLDIERS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO HAD A CROWN OF THORNS SHOVED DOWN, TEARING HIS HEAD AND HIS HAIR OUT.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS NAILED IN HIS HANDS AND FEET SUSPENDED ON A CROSS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO TOOK ON HIS RIGHTEOUS BODY ALL OF OUR SINS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS CURSED AND SEPARATED FROM GOD.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS MADE TO BE SIN SO THAT WE CAN BE RIGHTEOUS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WENT INTO HELL, PAYING FOR ALL OF OUR SINS.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND ASCENDED UP IN HEAVEN, SEATED ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO WILL RETURN IN GLORY AND RECEIVE US TO HIMSELF.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REASON WE CAN BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD AND WILL BE FOREVER WITH THE LORD.

REMEMBER TO LOVE JESUS CHRIST!

Luke 9:23

And He Said To Them All, If Any Man Will Come After Me, Let Him Deny Himself, And Take Up His Cross Daily, And Follow Me.

Matthew 27:27-31

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.

Galatians 3:13

Christ Hath Redeemed Us From The Curse Of The Law, Being Made A Curse For Us: For It Is Written, Cursed Is Every One That Hangeth On A Tree:

1 John 2:2

And He Is The Propitiation For Our Sins: And Not For Ours Only, But Also For The Sins Of The Whole World.

2 Corinthians 5:21

For He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, Who Knew No Sin; That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

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?

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 2:12

I Write Unto You, Little Children, Because Your Sins Are Forgiven You For His Name's Sake.

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.

Ephesians 2:5-8

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: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God:

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.

Matthew 26:64

Jesus Saith Unto Him, Thou Hast Said: Nevertheless I Say Unto You, Hereafter Shall Ye See The Son Of Man Sitting On The Right Hand Of Power, And Coming In The Clouds Of Heaven.

Hebrews 12:2

Looking Unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; Who For The Joy That Was Set Before Him Endured The Cross, Despising The Shame, And Is Set Down At The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God.

Acts 1:9-11

And When He Had Spoken These Things, While They Beheld, He Was Taken Up; And A Cloud Received Him Out Of Their Sight. And While They Looked Stedfastly Toward Heaven As He Went Up, Behold, Two Men Stood By Them In White Apparel; Which Also Said, Ye Men Of Galilee, Why Stand Ye Gazing Up Into Heaven? This Same Jesus, Which Is Taken Up From You Into Heaven, Shall So Come In Like Manner As Ye Have Seen Him Go Into Heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But I Would Not Have You To Be Ignorant, Brethren, Concerning Them Which Are Asleep, That Ye Sorrow Not, Even As Others Which Have No Hope. For If We Believe That Jesus Died And Rose Again, Even So Them Also Which Sleep In Jesus Will God Bring With Him. For This We Say Unto You By The Word Of The Lord, That We Which Are Alive And Remain Unto The Coming Of The Lord Shall Not Prevent Them Which Are Asleep. For The Lord Himself Shall Descend From Heaven With A Shout, With The Voice Of The Archangel, And With The Trump Of God: And The Dead In Christ Shall Rise First: Then We Which Are Alive And Remain Shall Be Caught Up Together With Them In The Clouds, To Meet The Lord In The Air: And So Shall We Ever Be With The Lord. Wherefore Comfort One Another With These Words.

IS DUPLICITY DISINFORMATION OR A LIE

What Is Disinformation? I Heard The Word Disinformation On The News And Social Media, So I Looked It Up. I Have Found That The Definition Is The Same As Another Word, So Why Not Use It Instead?

DISINFORMATION: Deliberately Misleading Information Announced Publicly Or Leaked, The Dissemination Of Intentionally False Information To Deliberately Confuse Or Mislead.

LIE: To Speak Falsely Or Utter Untruth Knowingly, As With Intent To Deceive. To Express What Is False; Convey A False Impression.

People Use Words To Convey Their Thoughts. I Have To Wonder Why People Choose The Words That They Do. Some People Use Certain Words To Make Themselves Sound Intelligent, And Others Use Words To Make People Believe They Are Understanding And More In Tune With Their Feelings, But Do We Use The Wrong Words Others'ers Detriment? We Say Words Of Condoning Instead Of The Words They Need To Hear. Condoning Sin Will Never Be The Word Anyone Needs To Hear, Even If It Is Hard To Tell, Tell The Truth.

People Call Alcoholism A Disease And Drug Addiction An Illness. We Seem To Want To Soften Or Sugarcoat Our Words To Avoid Offending. If You Call Things Softer Words, It Makes Everything Different. Alternative Lifestyle, Illnesses, Diseases, Or Even This Is Who I Am, And It Will Never Be The Truth, No Matter Who Says It. Look What Jesus Christ Says About False Prophets Gathering Grapes Of Thorns; If Fruits Are Evil, So Is The Tree. If You Have A Condoning Preacher Or Teacher, Then They Are False And Are Lying. If People Use False Words To Explain Lies, How Will You Ever Learn The Truth? It Is Time For Us To Know The Truth By Reading Our Bibles For Ourselves.

Let's See What The Bible Says About These Matters.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

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.

Galatians 5:19-21

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.

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.

Jesus Christ Said That We Will Know The Tree By The Fruit.

Matthew 7:13-27

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. Therefore Whosoever Heareth These Sayings Of Mine, And Doeth Them, I Will Liken Him Unto A Wise Man, Which Built His House Upon A Rock: And The Rain Descended, And The Floods Came, And The Winds Blew, And Beat Upon That House; And It Fell Not: For It Was Founded Upon A Rock. And Every One That Heareth These Sayings Of Mine, And Doeth Them Not, Shall Be Likened Unto A Foolish Man, Which Built His House Upon The Sand: And The Rain Descended, And The Floods Came, And The Winds Blew, And Beat Upon That House; And It Fell: And Great Was The Fall Of It.

Matthew 12:33

Either Make The Tree Good, And His Fruit Good; Or Else Make The Tree Corrupt, And His Fruit Corrupt: For The Tree Is Known By His Fruit.

Luke 6:43-49

For A Good Tree Bringeth Not Forth Corrupt Fruit; Neither Doth A Corrupt Tree Bring Forth Good Fruit. For Every Tree Is Known By His Own Fruit. For Of Thorns Men Do Not Gather Figs, Nor Of A Bramble Bush Gather They Grapes. A Good Man Out Of The Good Treasure Of His Heart Bringeth Forth That Which Is Good; And An Evil Man Out Of The Evil Treasure Of His Heart Bringeth Forth That Which Is Evil: For Of The Abundance Of The Heart His Mouth Speaketh. And Why Call Ye Me, Lord, Lord, And Do Not The Things Which I Say? Whosoever Cometh To Me, And Heareth My Sayings, And Doeth Them, I Will Shew You To Whom He Is Like: He Is Like A Man Which Built An House, And Digged Deep, And Laid The Foundation On A Rock: And When The Flood Arose, The Stream Beat Vehemently Upon That House, And Could Not Shake It: For It Was Founded Upon A Rock. But He That Heareth, And Doeth Not, Is Like A Man That Without A Foundation Built An House Upon The Earth; Against Which The Stream Did Beat Vehemently, And Immediately It Fell; And The Ruin Of That House Was Great.

Ephesians 5:7-20

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;

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.

Galatians 6:7-8

Be Not Deceived; God Is Not Mocked: For Whatsoever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap. For He That Soweth To His Flesh Shall Of The Flesh Reap Corruption; But He That Soweth To The Spirit Shall Of The Spirit Reap Life Everlasting.

PLEAD THE CAUSE OF THE POOR AND NEEDY

The Lord Told Me This Morning To

Open Thy Mouth For The Dumb In The Cause Of All Such As Are Appointed To Destruction. Open Thy Mouth, Judge Righteously, And PLEAD THE CAUSE OF THE POOR AND NEEDY.

Proverbs 31:8-9

I Want To Thank All Of The Pro-Life Marchers Who Braved The Harsh Weather And The Harsh Criticism From Many People On January 19th, 2024. These People Are Actual Pro-Lifers Who Marched In Snow And Rainy Sleet To Speak For The Unborn.

The Lord Gave Me The Scripture Above Today To Talk About Abortion. Abortion Is Not A Topic That Many People Want To Hear About. Christians Need To Know What Abortion Is So That We Won't Be On The Fence About It. So-Called Physicians Will Call The Baby By A Code Word, Which Makes It Sound Non-Human, And That Code Word Is "Fetus." When A Woman Hears The Words You Are Pregnant, That Gives The Woman Two Options: Happiness To Have A Baby Or Disappointment And Freedom To Abort A "Fetus." Physicians Have Words Like "Fetus," So They Will Not Have Any Influence In Any Way, But In Truth, They Are Dehumanizing The Baby. The So-Called Physicians Will Offer The Option Of Abortion To A Woman When They See Disappointment; I Know This Because I Have Seen It Personally.

I Have Sat In Meetings, And I Know That The Young Woman Is In A Desperate Situation, And Abortion Sounds Like An Easy Out. The Schools Even Get Involved In Handing Out Unsolicited Pamphlets To Young Women Who Are Pregnant And Are Not Married, They Will Give Advice, And Ask If They Know How Hard It Will Be To Raise A Child Alone. One Woman At A School Went So Far As To Shame A Young Girl And Scolded Her. I Want People To Know That The "Fetus" Is A Human Being Called A Baby.

Warning Graphic

Let's Look At Abortion Itself.

The Abortion Is A Physical Invasion Of Your Womb With Metal Tools. They Have Clamps That Will Crush The Baby's Head And Then Suck It Out With A Vacuum. The Bigger The Baby, The More Aggressive Methods. One Method For The Older Baby Is The Baby's Head In The Mother's Body, And The So-Called Doctor Will Stab The Baby In Its Neck And Suck The Baby's Brain Out So It Won't Be Able To Cry.

The So-Called Medical Experts Will Tell You Babies Can Also Be Aborted With A Simple Pill, But They Forget To Say The Woman Is Going To Experience The Whole Thing By Herself At Home. To See A Six-Week-Old Baby In A Toilet Or On A Towel Is Something That Will Never Be Forgotten. Google A Six-Week-Old Baby, And You Will Find Pictures Of Babies Who Are Already Born; You Have To Say "Fetus" To See An Image Of A Six-Week-Old In The Womb. The Whole Internet Wording Is Designed For The Success Of Abortion. If You Read About The Vacuum Part Of The Abortion On Some Pages, They Will Say "Gentle Vacuum." I Saw A Video Of The Abortion Process, And The Woman Was Out Cold And Writhing In Pain. The So-Called Physicians Will Abort A Baby At Nine Months, And If The Baby Is Not Dead Through Their Torturous Deeds, They Will Lay The Baby On A Table And Let It Die.

The Bigger The Baby, The More Dangerous The Destruction Is To The Woman And The Baby.

Some Of The People Will Say I Only Believe In Abortion In The Cases Of Incest, Rape, Or The Life Of The Mother, So In Truth You Are For Abortion.

People Who Believe Only Three Reasons Are Good Enough To Kill A Baby, Then I Have To Ask What Makes Your Reasons More Important Than Others. People Who Have Abortions Believe They Have Good Reasons Too. People See Their Reason Is Just As Good As Any; No Matter The Difference Or What The Reasoning Is, The Baby Is Still Dead And Is Never Going To Live. Abortion Still Causes Death To A Baby; Even If You Believe Your Explanation Is Reasonable, The Baby Is Still Dead. Some People Will Take The Moral High Ground On This Subject, But The Baby Will Still Be Dead.

The World Wants To Know How A Loving God Lets Cancer, Alzheimer's, Dementia, And Other Diseases Happen To Them If He Is So Kind. God May Have Sent People To Solve All Of The World's Problems, And Abortions Destroyed Them.

Don't Blame A Holy God For The Evil We Alone Choose To Do.

God Sent His Only Begotten Son To Save The World, And The World Killed Jesus Christ, How Can We Expect Anything Differently Today?

Isaiah 43:7

Even Every One That Is Called By My Name: For I Have Created Him For My Glory, I Have Formed Him; Yea, I Have Made Him.

Isaiah 43:21

This People Have I Formed For Myself; They Shall Shew Forth My Praise.

Isaiah 44:24

Thus Saith The Lord, Thy Redeemer, And He That Formed Thee From The Womb, I Am The Lord That Maketh All Things; That Stretcheth Forth The Heavens Alone; That Spreadeth Abroad The Earth By Myself;

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I Formed Thee In The Belly I Knew Thee; And Before Thou Camest Forth Out Of The Womb I Sanctified Thee, And I Ordained Thee A Prophet Unto The Nations.

WHEN GOD DOES THE FORMING, HOW CAN WE SAY HE MADE A MISTAKE?

Romans 9:20

NAY BUT, O MAN, WHO ART THOU THAT REPLIEST AGAINST GOD? SHALL THE THING FORMED SAY TO HIM THAT FORMED IT, WHY HAST THOU MADE ME THUS?

KNOW HOW TO POSSESS HIS VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION AND HONOUR

Matthew 21:12-13

And Jesus Went Into The Temple Of God, And Cast Out All Them That Sold And Bought In The Temple, And Overthrew The Tables Of The Moneychangers, And The Seats Of Them That Sold Doves, And Said Unto Them, It Is Written, My House Shall Be Called The House Of Prayer; But Ye Have Made It A Den Of Thieves.

Mark 11:15-17

And They Come To Jerusalem: And Jesus Went Into The Temple, And Began To Cast Out Them That Sold And Bought In The Temple, And Overthrew The Tables Of The Moneychangers, And The Seats Of Them That Sold Doves; And Would Not Suffer That Any Man Should Carry Any Vessel Through The Temple. And He Taught, Saying Unto Them, Is It Not Written, My House Shall Be Called Of All Nations The House Of Prayer? But Ye Have Made It A Den Of Thieves.

Luke 19:45-46

And He Went Into The Temple, And Began To Cast Out Them That Sold Therein, And Them That Bought; Saying Unto Them, It Is Written, My House Is The House Of Prayer: But Ye Have Made It A Den Of Thieves.

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 3:3-7

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God. Nicodemus Saith Unto Him, How Can A Man Be Born When He Is Old? Can He Enter The Second Time Into His Mother's Womb, And Be Born? 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.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

Know Ye Not That Ye Are The Temple Of God, And That The Spirit Of God Dwelleth In You? If Any Man Defile The Temple Of God, Him Shall God Destroy; For The Temple Of God Is Holy, Which Temple Ye Are.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

What? Know Ye Not That Your Body Is The Temple Of The Holy Ghost Which Is In You, Which Ye Have Of God, And Ye Are Not Your Own? For Ye Are Bought With A Price: Therefore Glorify God In Your Body, And In Your Spirit, Which Are God's.

Romans 8:9

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.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-4

Furthermore Then We Beseech You, Brethren, And Exhort You By The Lord Jesus, That As Ye Have Received Of Us How Ye Ought To Walk And To Please God, So Ye Would Abound More And More. For Ye Know What Commandments We Gave You By The Lord Jesus. For This Is The Will Of God, Even Your Sanctification, That Ye Should Abstain From Fornication: That Every One Of You Should KNOW HOW TO POSSESS HIS VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION AND HONOUR;

We Are His Vessel, We Are His Temple, Our Body Is The Temple Of The Holy Ghost Which Is In You. 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. WE Should KNOW HOW TO POSSESS HIS VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION AND HONOUR;

DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM

Romans 7:9

For I Was Alive Without The Law Once: But When The Commandment Came, Sin Revived, And I Died.

Galatians 3:19

Wherefore Then Serveth The Law? It Was Added Because Of Transgressions, Till The Seed Should Come To Whom The Promise Was Made; And It Was Ordained By Angels In The Hand Of A Mediator.

1 John 3:9

Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God.

John 3:3

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, Verily, Verily, I Say Unto Thee, Except A Man Be Born Again, He Cannot See The Kingdom Of God.

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.

1 Peter 1:16

Because It Is Written, Be Ye Holy; For I Am Holy.

John 3:5-6

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.

Galatians 3:23-29

But Before Faith Came, We Were Kept Under The Law, Shut Up Unto The Faith Which Should Afterwards Be Revealed. Wherefore The Law Was Our Schoolmaster To Bring Us Unto Christ, That We Might Be Justified By Faith. But After That Faith Is Come, We Are No Longer Under A Schoolmaster. 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. There Is Neither Jew Nor Greek, There Is Neither Bond Nor Free, There Is Neither Male Nor Female: For Ye Are All One In Christ Jesus. And If Ye Be Christ's, Then Are Ye Abraham's Seed, And Heirs According To The Promise.

Romans 3:20-22

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin. But Now The Righteousness Of God Without The Law Is Manifested, Being Witnessed By The Law And The Prophets; Even The Righteousness Of God Which Is By Faith Of Jesus Christ Unto All And Upon All Them That Believe: For There Is No Difference:

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.

Romans 7:4-6

Wherefore, My Brethren, Ye Also Are Become Dead To The Law By The Body Of Christ; That Ye Should Be Married To Another, Even To Him Who Is Raised From The Dead, That We Should Bring Forth Fruit Unto God. 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 6:1-23

What Shall We Say Then? Shall We Continue In Sin, That Grace May Abound? God Forbid. How Shall We, That Are Dead To Sin, Live Any Longer Therein? 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. 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. For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. 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 8:1-17

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. For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. 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. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. 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.

Hebrews 11:6

But Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please Him: For He That Cometh To God Must Believe That He Is, And That He Is A Rewarder Of Them That DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.

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.

HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST

John 6:28-29

Then Said They Unto Him, What Shall We Do, That We Might Work The Works Of God? Jesus Answered And Said Unto Them, This Is The Work Of God, That Ye Believe On Him Whom He Hath Sent.

Luke 16:16

The Law And The Prophets Were Until John: Since That Time The Kingdom Of God Is Preached, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

Ephesians 2:4-10

Romans 4:3-16 Kjv

For What Saith The Scripture? Abraham Believed God, And It Was Counted Unto Him For Righteousness. 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. Even As David Also Describeth The Blessedness Of The Man, Unto Whom God Imputeth Righteousness Without Works, Saying, Blessed Are They Whose Iniquities Are Forgiven, And Whose Sins Are Covered. Blessed Is The Man To Whom The Lord Will Not Impute Sin. Cometh This Blessedness Then Upon The Circumcision Only, Or Upon The Uncircumcision Also? For We Say That Faith Was Reckoned To Abraham For Righteousness. How Was It Then Reckoned? When He Was In Circumcision, Or In Uncircumcision? Not In Circumcision, But In Uncircumcision. 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: And The Father Of Circumcision To Them Who Are Not Of The Circumcision Only, But Who Also Walk In The Steps Of That Faith Of Our Father Abraham, Which He Had Being Yet Uncircumcised. 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,

Romans 10:1-13

Brethren, My Heart's Desire And Prayer To God For Israel Is, That They Might Be Saved. For I Bear Them Record That They Have A Zeal Of God, But Not According To Knowledge. For They Being Ignorant Of God's Righteousness, And Going About To Establish Their Own Righteousness, Have Not Submitted Themselves Unto The Righteousness Of God. For Christ Is The End Of The Law For Righteousness To Every One That Believeth. For Moses Describeth The Righteousness Which Is Of The Law, That The Man Which Doeth Those Things Shall Live By Them. But The Righteousness Which Is Of Faith Speaketh On This Wise, Say Not In Thine Heart, Who Shall Ascend Into Heaven? (That Is, To Bring Christ Down From Above:) Or, Who Shall Descend Into The Deep? (That Is, To Bring Up Christ Again From The Dead.) But What Saith It? The Word Is Nigh Thee, Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: That Is, The Word Of Faith, Which We Preach; That If Thou Shalt Confess With Thy Mouth The Lord Jesus, And Shalt Believe In Thine Heart That God Hath Raised Him From The Dead, Thou Shalt Be Saved. For With The Heart Man Believeth Unto Righteousness; And With The Mouth Confession Is Made Unto Salvation. For The Scripture Saith, Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed. For There Is No Difference Between The Jew And The Greek: For The Same Lord Over All Is Rich Unto All That Call Upon Him. For Whosoever Shall Call Upon The Name Of The Lord Shall Be Saved.

Romans 3:20-22

1 John 3:1-10

Philippians 1:2-6

Grace Be Unto You, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ. I Thank My God Upon Every Remembrance Of You, Always In Every Prayer Of Mine For You All Making Request With Joy, For Your Fellowship In The Gospel From The First Day Until Now; Being Confident Of This Very Thing, That HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST:

SAME MIND

1 Corinthians 1:2-10

Unto The Church Of God Which Is At Corinth, To Them That Are Sanctified In Christ Jesus, Called To Be Saints, With All That In Every Place Call Upon The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord, Both Theirs And Ours: Grace Be Unto You, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ. I Thank My God Always On Your Behalf, For The Grace Of God Which Is Given You By Jesus Christ; That In Every Thing Ye Are Enriched By Him, In All Utterance, And In All Knowledge; Even As The Testimony Of Christ Was Confirmed In You: So That Ye Come Behind In No Gift; Waiting For The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Who Shall Also Confirm You Unto The End, That Ye May Be Blameless In The Day Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. God Is Faithful, By Whom Ye Were Called Unto The Fellowship Of His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord. Now I Beseech You, Brethren, By The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, That Ye All Speak The Same Thing, And That There Be No Divisions Among You; But That Ye Be Perfectly Joined Together In The SAME MIND And In The Same Judgment.

1 Corinthians 11:18-19

For First Of All, When Ye Come Together In The Church, I Hear That There Be Divisions Among You; And I Partly Believe It. For There Must Be Also Heresies Among You, That They Which Are Approved May Be Made Manifest Among You.

Galatians 5:19-21

1 Corinthians 14:33

For God Is Not The Author Of Confusion, But Of Peace, As In All Churches Of The Saints.

2 Peter 2:1-3

But There Were False Prophets Also Among The People, Even As There Shall Be False Teachers Among You, Who Privily Shall Bring In Damnable Heresies, Even Denying The Lord That Bought Them, And Bring Upon Themselves Swift Destruction. And Many Shall Follow Their Pernicious Ways; By Reason Of Whom The Way Of Truth Shall Be Evil Spoken Of. And Through Covetousness Shall They With Feigned Words Make Merchandise Of You: Whose Judgment Now Of A Long Time Lingereth Not, And Their Damnation Slumbereth Not.

1 Timothy 4:1-2

Matthew 7:13-23

Ephesians 4:11-16

And He Gave Some, Apostles; And Some, Prophets; And Some, Evangelists; And Some, Pastors And Teachers; For The Perfecting Of The Saints, For The Work Of The Ministry, For The Edifying Of The Body Of Christ: Till We All Come In The Unity Of The Faith, And Of The Knowledge Of The Son Of God, Unto A Perfect Man, Unto The Measure Of The Stature Of The Fulness Of Christ: 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; But Speaking The Truth In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ: From Whom The Whole Body Fitly Joined Together And Compacted By That Which Every Joint Supplieth, According To The Effectual Working In The Measure Of Every Part, Maketh Increase Of The Body Unto The Edifying Of Itself In Love.

Philippians 1:27

Only Let Your Conversation Be As It Becometh The Gospel Of Christ: That Whether I Come And See You, Or Else Be Absent, I May Hear Of Your Affairs, That Ye Stand Fast In One Spirit, With One Mind Striving Together For The Faith Of The Gospel;

Colossians 2:6-10

As Ye Have Therefore Received Christ Jesus The Lord, So Walk Ye In Him: Rooted And Built Up In Him, And Stablished In The Faith, As Ye Have Been Taught, Abounding Therein With Thanksgiving. Beware Lest Any Man Spoil You Through Philosophy And Vain Deceit, After The Tradition Of Men, After The Rudiments Of The World, And Not After Christ. For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily. And Ye Are Complete In Him, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power:

2 Corinthians 13:11

Finally, Brethren, Farewell. Be Perfect, Be Of Good Comfort, Be Of One Mind, Live In Peace; And The God Of Love And Peace Shall Be With You.

2 Peter 3:17-18

THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 9:31-33

But Israel, Which Followed After THE LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, Hath Not Attained To The Law Of Righteousness. Wherefore? Because They Sought It Not By Faith, But As It Were By The Works Of The Law. For They Stumbled At That Stumblingstone; As It Is Written, Behold, I Lay In Sion A Stumblingstone And Rock Of Offence: And Whosoever Believeth On Him Shall Not Be Ashamed.

Romans 3:20-22

Romans 10:1-4

Galatians 2:20-21

Luke 16:16

The Law And The Prophets Were Until John: Since That Time The Kingdom Of God Is Preached, And Every Man Presseth Into It.

HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN

I Truly Did Not Want To Make This About A Political Issue, But Some Christians Vote And I Can Not In Good Conscience Not Explain Why Christians Need To Read Their Bibles. Read Your Bible To Know Who Is Real And Who Are False Not Only In Politics But In Preachers And Teachers Of The Gospel Also.

Matthew 7:21

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.

Matthew 7:15

Beware Of False Prophets, Which Come To You In Sheep's Clothing, But Inwardly They Are Ravening Wolves.

2 Peter 2:1-2

1 Timothy 2:12-14

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. And Adam Was Not Deceived, But The Woman Being Deceived Was In The Transgression.

I Copied This From Wikipedia And Google About Vivek Ramaswamy;

Wikipedia States That Ramaswamy Is A Monotheistic Hindu. According To Relatives, He Is Fluent In Tamil And Understands (But Does Not Speak) Malayalam. He Is A Vegetarian And Wrote In 2020, "I Believe It Is Wrong To Kill Sentient Animals For Culinary Pleasure."

The Respect For Cows Is Part Of Hindu Belief, And Most Hindus Avoid Meat Sourced From Cows As Cows Are Treated As A Motherly Giving Animal, Considered As Another Member Of The Family. Some Hindus Who Eat Non-vegetarian Food Abstain From Eating Non-vegetarian Food During Festivals Such As Janmashtami.

Google Search States That Ramaswamy, Who Is Campaigning To Become The Republican Party Nominee For The 2024 United States Presidential Election, Made A Statement On Twitter (Now Called X) He Said That “It’s A Fact That Those Who Perform Well On Math & Reading Tests Tend To Perform More Poorly On The

1-mile Run, And Vice Versa.”

Ramaswamy Continued With, “There’s A Simple Way Forward That Will Drive Excellence And Diversity Of Talent Among Incoming College Classes: The College Board Should Add A Physical Fitness Section To The Sat, Instead Of Just Math And Reading Sections,” As You Can See Here:

What I Found On Wikipedia On Nikki Haley

Haley Was Born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa At Bamberg County Hospital In Bamberg, South Carolina, To Immigrant Sikh Parents From Amritsar, Punjab, India. Her Father, Ajit Singh Randhawa, Had Worked As A Professor At Punjab Agricultural University In The 1950s, And Her Mother, Raj Kaur Randhawa, Received Her Law Degree From The University Of Delhi.

Haley Married Michael Haley On September 7, 1996. They Celebrated With BOTH SIKH AND Methodist Ceremonies. The Couple Have Two Children, Rena And Nalin.

Haley Converted To Christianity In 1997. She And Her Husband Regularly Attend The United Methodist Church. SHE ALSO ATTENDS SIKH SERVICES ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR. She Visited The Harmandir Sahib With Her Husband In 2014 During Her Visit To India. During A Christianity Today Interview, When Asked Whether Or Not She Hopes Her Parents Convert To Christianity, Haley Responded, "What I Hope Is That My Parents Do What's Right For Them."

NIKKI HALEY HAD TWO WEDDING CEREMONIES; ONE WAS SIKH And

If You Notice, Nikki Haley Never Said She Wants Her Parents To Become Christians.

Nikki Haley Attends Sikh Services Once Or Twice A Year.

SIKHS Believe There Is Only One God, Which Is Genderless And Eternal. They Refer To God As Waheguru. Sikhs Believe In Rebirth And Karma, Meaning Their Religion Is A Way Of Life And That In Every Action, They Should Remember Their god.

Matthew 11:27

ALL THINGS ARE DELIVERED UNTO ME OF MY FATHER: AND NO MAN KNOWETH THE SON, BUT THE FATHER; NEITHER KNOWETH ANY MAN THE FATHER, SAVE THE SON, AND HE TO WHOMSOEVER THE SON WILL REVEAL HIM.

IN EVERY ONE OF THEIR BELIEFS, THEY DENY THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD, JEHOVAH AND HIS SON!

Titus 1:16

They Profess That They Know God; But In Works They Deny Him, Being Abominable, And Disobedient, And Unto Every Good Work Reprobate.

1 Timothy 4:1-11

Now The Spirit Speaketh Expressly, That In The Latter Times Some Shall Depart From The Faith, Giving Heed To Seducing Spirits, And Doctrines Of Devils; Speaking Lies In Hypocrisy; Having Their Conscience Seared With A Hot Iron; Forbidding To Marry, And Commanding To Abstain From Meats, Which God Hath Created To Be Received With Thanksgiving Of Them Which Believe And Know The Truth. For Every Creature Of God Is Good, And Nothing To Be Refused, If It Be Received With Thanksgiving: For It Is Sanctified By The Word Of God And Prayer. If Thou Put The Brethren In Remembrance Of These Things, Thou Shalt Be A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Nourished Up In The Words Of Faith And Of Good Doctrine, Whereunto Thou Hast Attained. But Refuse Profane And Old Wives' Fables, And Exercise Thyself Rather Unto Godliness. For Bodily Exercise Profiteth Little: But Godliness Is Profitable Unto All Things, Having Promise Of The Life That Now Is, And Of That Which Is To Come. This Is A Faithful Saying And Worthy Of All Acceptation. For Therefore We Both Labour And Suffer Reproach, Because We Trust In The Living God, Who Is The Saviour Of All Men, Specially Of Those That Believe. These Things Command And Teach.

Just Because Someone Says god Does Not Mean They Are Speaking Of Jehovah God. Many People Are As Faithful In Their False Religion As Christians Are In The Truth. Vivek Ramaswamy Talks About How The Christian Faith Influences Him, But He Is Not A Christian; he Is Influenced In Certain Ways But Never Says He Is A Christian.

Nikki Haley Says She Is A Christian, But Is She?

These Statements Tell Me All I Need To Know About Vivek Ramaswamy And Nikki Haley. I Will Never Vote Knowingly For A Man Or Woman Who Has A god Other Than Jehovah God.

Vote For Who You Think Is The Best Choice, But I Will Go By The Holy Scripture.

Jehovah, Jesus, And The Holy Spirit Is The True Godhead.

1 John 5:6-8

This Is He That Came By Water And Blood, Even Jesus Christ; Not By Water Only, But By Water And Blood. And It Is The Spirit That Beareth Witness, Because The Spirit Is Truth. For There Are Three That Bear Record In Heaven, The Father, The Word, And The Holy Ghost: And These Three Are One. And There Are Three That Bear Witness In Earth, The Spirit, And The Water, And The Blood: And These Three Agree In One.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BELIEVE THE WORDS OF OTHERS; SEARCH OUT THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF.

Search The Scripture And Pray Before You Make Any Decisions On Anything You Do.

THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He Hath Made Every Thing Beautiful In His Time: Also He Hath Set The World In Their Heart, So That No Man Can Find Out The Work That God Maketh From The Beginning To The End.

Mark 4:11-12

And He Said Unto Them, Unto You It Is Given To Know The Mystery Of The Kingdom Of God: But Unto Them That Are Without, All These Things Are Done In Parables: That Seeing They May See, And Not Perceive; And Hearing They May Hear, And Not Understand; Lest At Any Time They Should Be Converted, And Their Sins Should Be Forgiven Them.

Romans 11:25

For I Would Not, Brethren, That Ye Should Be Ignorant Of This Mystery, Lest Ye Should Be Wise In Your Own Conceits; That Blindness In Part Is Happened To Israel, Until The Fulness Of The Gentiles Be Come In.

Ephesians 1:2-14

Grace Be To You, And Peace, From God Our Father, And From The Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Hath Blessed Us With All Spiritual Blessings In Heavenly Places In Christ: According As He Hath Chosen Us In Him Before The Foundation Of The World, That We Should Be Holy And Without Blame Before Him In Love: Having Predestinated Us Unto The Adoption Of Children By Jesus Christ To Himself, According To The Good Pleasure Of His Will, To The Praise Of The Glory Of His Grace, Wherein He Hath Made Us Accepted In The Beloved. In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, The Forgiveness Of Sins, According To The Riches Of His Grace; Wherein He Hath Abounded Toward Us In All Wisdom And Prudence; Having Made Known Unto Us The Mystery Of His Will, According To His Good Pleasure Which He Hath Purposed In Himself: That In The Dispensation Of The Fulness Of Times He Might Gather Together In One All Things In Christ, Both Which Are In Heaven, And Which Are On Earth; Even In Him: In Whom Also We Have Obtained An Inheritance, Being Predestinated According To The Purpose Of Him Who Worketh All Things After The Counsel Of His Own Will: That We Should Be To The Praise Of His Glory, Who First Trusted In Christ. 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.

Colossians 1:9-28

For This Cause We Also, Since The Day We Heard It, Do Not Cease To Pray For You, And To Desire That Ye Might Be Filled With The Knowledge Of His Will In All Wisdom And Spiritual Understanding; That Ye Might Walk Worthy Of The Lord Unto All Pleasing, Being Fruitful In Every Good Work, And Increasing In The Knowledge Of God; Strengthened With All Might, According To His Glorious Power, Unto All Patience And Longsuffering With Joyfulness; Giving Thanks Unto The Father, Which Hath Made Us Meet To Be Partakers Of The Inheritance Of The Saints In Light: Who Hath Delivered Us From The Power Of Darkness, And Hath Translated Us Into The Kingdom Of His Dear Son: In Whom We Have Redemption Through His Blood, Even The Forgiveness Of Sins: Who Is The Image Of The Invisible God, The Firstborn Of Every Creature: For By Him Were All Things Created, That Are In Heaven, And That Are In Earth, Visible And Invisible, Whether They Be Thrones, Or Dominions, Or Principalities, Or Powers: All Things Were Created By Him, And For Him: And He Is Before All Things, And By Him All Things Consist. And He Is The Head Of The Body, The Church: Who Is The Beginning, The Firstborn From The Dead; That In All Things He Might Have The Preeminence. For It Pleased The Father That In Him Should All Fulness Dwell; And, Having Made Peace Through The Blood Of His Cross, By Him To Reconcile All Things Unto Himself; By Him, I Say, Whether They Be Things In Earth, Or Things In Heaven. And You, That Were Sometime Alienated And Enemies In Your Mind By Wicked Works, Yet Now Hath He Reconciled In The Body Of His Flesh Through Death, To Present You Holy And Unblameable And Unreproveable In His Sight: If Ye Continue In The Faith Grounded And Settled, And Be Not Moved Away From The Hope Of The Gospel, Which Ye Have Heard, And Which Was Preached To Every Creature Which Is Under Heaven; Whereof I Paul Am Made A Minister; Who Now Rejoice In My Sufferings For You, And Fill Up That Which Is Behind Of The Afflictions Of Christ In My Flesh For His Body's Sake, Which Is The Church: Whereof I Am Made A Minister, According To The Dispensation Of God Which Is Given To Me For You, To Fulfil The Word Of God; Even The Mystery Which Hath Been Hid From Ages And From Generations, But Now Is Made Manifest To His Saints: To Whom God Would Make Known What Is The Riches Of The Glory Of This Mystery Among The Gentiles; Which Is Christ In You, The Hope Of Glory: Whom We Preach, Warning Every Man, And Teaching Every Man In All Wisdom; That We May Present Every Man Perfect In Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 3:2-12

If Ye Have Heard Of The Dispensation Of The Grace Of God Which Is Given Me To You-ward: How That By Revelation He Made Known Unto Me The Mystery; (As I Wrote Afore In Few Words, Whereby, When Ye Read, Ye May Understand My Knowledge In THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST) Which In Other Ages Was Not Made Known Unto The Sons Of Men, As It Is Now Revealed Unto His Holy Apostles And Prophets By The Spirit; That The Gentiles Should Be Fellowheirs, And Of The Same Body, And Partakers Of His Promise In Christ By The Gospel: Whereof I Was Made A Minister, According To The Gift Of The Grace Of God Given Unto Me By The Effectual Working Of His Power. Unto Me, Who Am Less Than The Least Of All Saints, Is This Grace Given, That I Should Preach Among The Gentiles The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ; And To Make All Men See What Is The Fellowship Of The Mystery, Which From The Beginning Of The World Hath Been Hid In God, Who Created All Things By Jesus Christ: To The Intent That Now Unto The Principalities And Powers In Heavenly Places Might Be Known By The Church The Manifold Wisdom Of God, According To The Eternal Purpose Which He Purposed In Christ Jesus Our Lord: In Whom We Have Boldness And Access With Confidence By The Faith Of Him.

Colossians 2:2-23,3:1-17

That Their Hearts Might Be Comforted, Being Knit Together In Love, And Unto All Riches Of The Full Assurance Of Understanding, To The Acknowledgement Of The Mystery Of God, And Of The Father, And Of Christ; In Whom Are Hid All The Treasures Of Wisdom And Knowledge. And This I Say, Lest Any Man Should Beguile You With Enticing Words. For Though I Be Absent In The Flesh, Yet Am I With You In The Spirit, Joying And Beholding Your Order, And The Stedfastness Of Your Faith In Christ. As Ye Have Therefore Received Christ Jesus The Lord, So Walk Ye In Him: Rooted And Built Up In Him, And Stablished In The Faith, As Ye Have Been Taught, Abounding Therein With Thanksgiving. Beware Lest Any Man Spoil You Through Philosophy And Vain Deceit, After The Tradition Of Men, After The Rudiments Of The World, And Not After Christ. For In Him Dwelleth All The Fulness Of The Godhead Bodily. And Ye Are Complete In Him, Which Is The Head Of All Principality And Power: In Whom Also Ye Are Circumcised With The Circumcision Made Without Hands, In Putting Off The Body Of The Sins Of The Flesh By The Circumcision Of Christ: Buried With Him In Baptism, Wherein Also Ye Are Risen With Him Through The Faith Of The Operation Of God, Who Hath Raised Him From The Dead. 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; And Having Spoiled Principalities And Powers, He Made A Shew Of Them Openly, Triumphing Over Them In It. Let No Man Therefore Judge You In Meat, Or In Drink, Or In Respect Of An Holyday, Or Of The New Moon, Or Of The Sabbath Days: Which Are A Shadow Of Things To Come; But The Body Is Of Christ. Let No Man Beguile You Of Your Reward In A Voluntary Humility And Worshipping Of Angels, Intruding Into Those Things Which He Hath Not Seen, Vainly Puffed Up By His Fleshly Mind, And Not Holding The Head, From Which All The Body By Joints And Bands Having Nourishment Ministered, And Knit Together, Increaseth With The Increase Of God. Wherefore If Ye Be Dead With Christ From The Rudiments Of The World, Why, As Though Living In The World, Are Ye Subject To Ordinances, (Touch Not; Taste Not; Handle Not; Which All Are To Perish With The Using;) After The Commandments And Doctrines Of Men? Which Things Have Indeed A Shew Of Wisdom In Will Worship, And Humility, And Neglecting Of The Body; Not In Any Honour To The Satisfying Of The Flesh. 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: Where There Is Neither Greek Nor Jew, Circumcision Nor Uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, Bond Nor Free: But Christ Is All, And In All. Put On Therefore, As The Elect Of God, Holy And Beloved, Bowels Of Mercies, Kindness, Humbleness Of Mind, Meekness, Longsuffering; Forbearing One Another, And Forgiving One Another, If Any Man Have A Quarrel Against Any: Even As Christ Forgave You, So Also Do Ye. And Above All These Things Put On Charity, Which Is The Bond Of Perfectness. And Let The Peace Of God Rule In Your Hearts, To The Which Also Ye Are Called In One Body; And Be Ye Thankful. Let The Word Of Christ Dwell In You Richly In All Wisdom; Teaching And Admonishing One Another In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing With Grace In Your Hearts To The Lord. And Whatsoever Ye Do In Word Or Deed, Do All In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, Giving Thanks To God And The Father By Him.

Romans 16:24-27

The Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Be With You All. Amen. Now To Him That Is Of Power To Stablish You According To My Gospel, And The Preaching Of Jesus Christ, According To The Revelation Of The Mystery, Which Was Kept Secret Since The World Began, But Now Is Made Manifest, And By The Scriptures Of The Prophets, According To The Commandment Of The Everlasting God, Made Known To All Nations For The Obedience Of Faith: To God Only Wise, Be Glory Through Jesus Christ For Ever. Amen.
