TRUTH SHALL SPRING OUT OF THE EARTH; AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN

TRUTH SHALL SPRING OUT OF THE EARTH; AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

John 3:3-8 
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. The Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth, And Thou Hearest The Sound Thereof, But Canst Not Tell Whence It Cometh, And Whither It Goeth: So Is Every One That Is Born Of The Spirit.

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.

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 14:6-7 
Jesus Saith Unto Him, I Am The Way, THE TRUTH, And The Life: No Man Cometh Unto The Father, But By Me. If Ye Had Known Me, Ye Should Have Known My Father Also: And From Henceforth Ye Know Him, And Have Seen Him.

John 1:17 
For The Law Was Given By Moses, But Grace And Truth Came By Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:3-4 
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.

Psalm 85:10-11 
Mercy And Truth Are Met Together; Righteousness And Peace Have Kissed Each Other. TRUTH SHALL SPRING OUT OF THE EARTH; AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

Romans 6:4 
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.

Ephesians 2:6 
And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus:

Romans 5:1-2 
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.

Hebrews 13:20-21 
Now The God Of Peace, That Brought Again From The Dead Our Lord Jesus, That Great Shepherd Of The Sheep, Through The Blood Of The Everlasting Covenant, Make You Perfect In Every Good Work To Do His Will, Working In You That Which Is Wellpleasing In His Sight, Through Jesus Christ; To Whom Be Glory For Ever And Ever. Amen.

THIS DAY IS THIS SCRIPTURE FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS.

John 1:14 
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.

1 John 1:1-4 
That Which Was From The Beginning, Which We Have Heard, Which We Have Seen With Our Eyes, Which We Have Looked Upon, And Our Hands Have Handled, Of The Word Of Life; (For The Life Was Manifested, And We Have Seen It, And Bear Witness, And Shew Unto You That Eternal Life, Which Was With The Father, And Was Manifested Unto Us;) That Which We Have Seen And Heard Declare We Unto You, That Ye Also May Have Fellowship With Us: And Truly Our Fellowship Is With The Father, And With His Son Jesus Christ. And These Things Write We Unto You, That Your Joy May Be Full.

Psalm 107:10-22 
Such As Sit In Darkness And In The Shadow Of Death, Being Bound In Affliction And Iron; Because They Rebelled Against The Words Of God, And Contemned The Counsel Of The Most High: Therefore He Brought Down Their Heart With Labour; They Fell Down, And There Was None To Help. Then They Cried Unto The Lord In Their Trouble, And He Saved Them Out Of Their Distresses. He Brought Them Out Of Darkness And The Shadow Of Death, And Brake Their Bands In Sunder. Oh That Men Would Praise The Lord For His Goodness, And For His Wonderful Works To The Children Of Men! For He Hath Broken The Gates Of Brass, And Cut The Bars Of Iron In Sunder. Fools Because Of Their Transgression, And Because Of Their Iniquities, Are Afflicted. Their Soul Abhorreth All Manner Of Meat; And They Draw Near Unto The Gates Of Death. Then They Cry Unto The Lord In Their Trouble, And He Saveth Them Out Of Their Distresses. He Sent His Word, And Healed Them, And Delivered Them From Their Destructions. Oh That Men Would Praise The Lord For His Goodness, And For His Wonderful Works To The Children Of Men! And Let Them Sacrifice The Sacrifices Of Thanksgiving, And Declare His Works With Rejoicing.

Win Or Regain The Favor Of (A God, Spirit, Or Person) By Doing Something That Pleases Them.

Pro·pi·ti·at·ing, Pro·pi·ti·ates
To Gain Or Regain The Goodwill Or Favor Of; Appease

Pro·pi·ti·a·tion (Prō-pĭsh′ē-ā′shən)
1. The Act Of Propitiating.
2. Something That Propitiates, Especially A Conciliatory Offering To A God.

Romans 3:24-26 
Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus: Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus.

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.

Romans 5:8-12 
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:

1 John 4:9-10 
In This Was Manifested The Love Of God Toward Us, Because That God Sent His Only Begotten Son Into The World, That We Might Live Through Him. Herein Is Love, Not That We Loved God, But That He Loved Us, And Sent His Son To Be The Propitiation For Our Sins.

Ephesians 2:4-10 
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.

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 5:1-2 
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.

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR PEACE WITH GOD.

THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS

THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS

Luke 12:32 
Fear Not, Little Flock; For IT IS YOUR FATHER'S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM.

Hebrews 13:5-6 
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. So That We May Boldly Say, The Lord Is My Helper, And I Will Not Fear What Man Shall Do Unto Me.

Psalm 27:1 
The Lord Is My Light And My Salvation; Whom Shall I Fear? The Lord Is The Strength Of My Life; Of Whom Shall I Be Afraid?

Psalm 118:6 
The Lord Is On My Side; I Will Not Fear: What Can Man Do Unto Me?

Romans 8:31-39 
What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? He That Spared Not His Own Son, But Delivered Him Up For Us All, How Shall He Not With Him Also Freely Give Us All Things? Who Shall Lay Any Thing To The Charge Of God's Elect? It Is God That Justifieth. 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? As It Is Written, For Thy Sake We Are Killed All The Day Long; We Are Accounted As Sheep For The Slaughter. Nay, In All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him That Loved Us. 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.

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.

Galatians 2:16 
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.

Romans 8:9-11 
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.

Romans 8:16-17 
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.

Ephesians 4:30 
And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Ephesians 1:4-14 
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.

Philippians 2:13 
For It Is God Which Worketh In You Both To Will And To Do Of His Good Pleasure.

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 
Wherefore Also We Pray Always For You, That Our God Would Count You Worthy Of This Calling, And Fulfil All THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS GOODNESS, And The Work Of Faith With Power: That The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ May Be Glorified In You, And Ye In Him, According To The Grace Of Our God And The Lord Jesus Christ.

IN AND SEALED

IN AND SEALED

John 17:15-26 
I Pray Not That Thou Shouldest Take Them Out Of The World, But That Thou Shouldest Keep Them From The Evil. They Are Not Of The World, Even As I Am Not Of The World. Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth. As Thou Hast Sent Me Into The World, Even So Have I Also Sent Them Into The World. And For Their Sakes I Sanctify Myself, That They Also Might Be Sanctified Through The Truth. Neither Pray I For These Alone, But For Them Also Which Shall Believe On Me Through Their Word; That They All May Be One; As Thou, Father, Art IN Me, And I IN Thee, That They Also May Be One IN Us: That The World May Believe That Thou Hast Sent Me. And The Glory Which Thou Gavest Me I Have Given Them; That They May Be One, Even As We Are One: I IN Them, And Thou IN Me, That They May Be Made Perfect In One; And That The World May Know That Thou Hast Sent Me, And Hast Loved Them, As Thou Hast Loved Me. Father, I Will That They Also, Whom Thou Hast Given Me, Be With Me Where I Am; That They May Behold My Glory, Which Thou Hast Given Me: For Thou Lovedst Me Before The Foundation Of The World. O Righteous Father, The World Hath Not Known Thee: But I Have Known Thee, And These Have Known That Thou Hast Sent Me. And I Have Declared Unto Them Thy Name, And Will Declare It: That The Love Wherewith Thou Hast Loved Me May Be IN Them, And I IN Them.

John 14:16-20 
And I Will Pray The Father, And He Shall Give You Another Comforter, That He May Abide With You For Ever; Even The Spirit Of Truth; Whom The World Cannot Receive, Because It Seeth Him Not, Neither Knoweth Him: But Ye Know Him; For He DWELLETH With You, And Shall Be IN You. I Will Not Leave You Comfortless: I Will Come To You. Yet A Little While, And The World Seeth Me No More; But Ye See Me: Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also. At That Day Ye Shall Know That I Am IN My Father, And Ye IN Me, And I IN You.

Romans 8:3-4 
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.

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.

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 4:30 
And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are SEALED Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Romans 8:1 
There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are IN Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit.

Look At The Words IN And SEALED. The Holy Spirit Is IN Us And SEALS Us Unto The Day Of Redemption. The Righteousness That The Law Of God Requires Is Only Fulfilled By Us Because Of Jesus Christ, And Our Faith In His Offering Of Himself. 
Because Of The Righteousness Of Jesus Christ, We Are Righteous. Jesus Christ Is Righteous So He Could Keep The Law Of God To The Fulness. Our Faith In Christ Jesus And His Perfect Work And Sacrifice Means We Are Righteous By Faith. There Is No More Condemnation To Them Which Are IN Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ Is IN God; God Is IN Us Through The Holy Spirit Living IN Us.  Jesus Christ Sacrificed Himself So That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled IN Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh But After The Spirit.

Ephesians 2:8-9 
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.

PERFECTION HAPPENS WHEN THE ONE AND ONLY PERFECT GOD IS INVOLVED

PERFECTION HAPPENS WHEN THE ONE AND ONLY PERFECT GOD IS INVOLVED 

So Many People Say They Just Can't Believe In God, So Let Me Have Your Attention For A Few Minutes. 

Let's Think About This Issue Logically, Then. Have You Ever Sat Down And Thought About The Options For Our Existence And How The World Began? Some Scientists Will Say A Big Bang Happened, And Everything Came Into Being, While Others Will Say A Light Shone On A Puddle Of Water For Trillions Of Years Until Something Started Moving And Came To Life. So, Let's Examine Both Logically; The First Is A Bang. A Bang Happened, And The Stars, The Moon, The Sun, The Oceans, The Earth, The Entire Solar System Came Into Being. All Of These Aligned Perfectly With Gravity And Space. Google And You Will Find This Information: Earth Revolves In Orbit Around The Sun In 365 Days, 6 Hours, 9 Minutes With Reference To The Stars, At A Speed Ranging From 29.29 To 30.29 Km/S. The 6 Hours 9 Minutes Adds Up To About An Extra Day Every Fourth Year, Which Is Designated A Leap Year, With The Extra Day Added As February 29th. Also, Google The Moon, And You Will Find, 
The Moon Is A Major Influence On The Earth's Tides, But The Sun Also Generates Considerable Tidal Forces. Solar Tides Are About Half As Large As Lunar Tides And Are Expressed As A Variation Of Lunar Tidal Patterns, Not As A Separate Set Of Tides.
So The Earth Revolves In Orbit Around The Sun In 365 Days, 6 Hours, 9 Minutes Perfectly So That The Oceans Don't Spill Out, The Earth Doesn't Get Too Close To The Sun And Burn Up, And Move Too Far Away And Freeze, All Because Of A Big Bang?

Okay, Now Let's Look At The Other One Called Evolution. Evolution Is The Light Was Shining On Water For Trillions Of Years, And Life Squiggled And Grew Into Something And Came Out Of The Water And Began Walking, Then Lost To The Tail And Became Man. 
Now, I Am No Scientist, But I Have To Ask Two Questions: Where Did The Light And Water Come From? How Did The Light Stay Shining On The Water For That Long Without Moving? Oh, I Guess I Have More Questions. When Did The Earth Start Revolving Around The Sun? And If The Earth Was Revolving, How Did The Light Stay On The Water? I Am Confused For Sure.

Now, Let's Look At Creation By God.
Have You Ever Walked Outside, Took A Deep Breath, And Enjoyed The Sun On Your Face? Have You Smelled The Flowers And Looked At The Trees And Said Oh, How Beautiful? You Are Enjoying The Creation Of The One And Only True Living God. 
God Who Was, Who Is, And Who Always Will Be. God Spoke The Words And Perfection Happened. In Perfect Order, The Heaven And Earth, The Light, The Water, The Grass, The Trees, Fruit, Seeds, Flying, And Swimming Creatures. All Of These Had To Be Perfect For Everything And Everyone To Thrive. If Any One Of These Were Out Of Order, Then Nothing Would Not Be Able To Exist. God Did Not Create Man First, Where Would He Live, What Would He Eat? God Has A Plan And It Is Perfect. God Has The Perfect Plan Of Salvation, And His Name Is Jesus Christ. 

Genesis 1:1-27 
In The Beginning God Created The Heaven And The Earth. And The Earth Was Without Form, And Void; And Darkness Was Upon The Face Of The Deep. And The Spirit Of God Moved Upon The Face Of The Waters. And God Said, Let There Be Light: And There Was Light. And God Saw The Light, That It Was Good: And God Divided The Light From The Darkness. And God Called The Light Day, And The Darkness He Called Night. And The Evening And The Morning Were The First Day. And God Said, Let There Be A Firmament In The Midst Of The Waters, And Let It Divide The Waters From The Waters. And God Made The Firmament, And Divided The Waters Which Were Under The Firmament From The Waters Which Were Above The Firmament: And It Was So. And God Called The Firmament Heaven. And The Evening And The Morning Were The Second Day. And God Said, Let The Waters Under The Heaven Be Gathered Together Unto One Place, And Let The Dry Land Appear: And It Was So. And God Called The Dry Land Earth; And The Gathering Together Of The Waters Called He Seas: And God Saw That It Was Good. And God Said, Let The Earth Bring Forth Grass, The Herb Yielding Seed, And The Fruit Tree Yielding Fruit After His Kind, Whose Seed Is In Itself, Upon The Earth: And It Was So. And The Earth Brought Forth Grass, And Herb Yielding Seed After His Kind, And The Tree Yielding Fruit, Whose Seed Was In Itself, After His Kind: And God Saw That It Was Good. And The Evening And The Morning Were The Third Day. And God Said, Let There Be Lights In The Firmament Of The Heaven To Divide The Day From The Night; And Let Them Be For Signs, And For Seasons, And For Days, And Years: And Let Them Be For Lights In The Firmament Of The Heaven To Give Light Upon The Earth: And It Was So. And God Made Two Great Lights; The Greater Light To Rule The Day, And The Lesser Light To Rule The Night: He Made The Stars Also. And God Set Them In The Firmament Of The Heaven To Give Light Upon The Earth, And To Rule Over The Day And Over The Night, And To Divide The Light From The Darkness: And God Saw That It Was Good. And The Evening And The Morning Were The Fourth Day. And God Said, Let The Waters Bring Forth Abundantly The Moving Creature That Hath Life, And Fowl That May Fly Above The Earth In The Open Firmament Of Heaven. And God Created Great Whales, And Every Living Creature That Moveth, Which The Waters Brought Forth Abundantly, After Their Kind, And Every Winged Fowl After His Kind: And God Saw That It Was Good. And God Blessed Them, Saying, Be Fruitful, And Multiply, And Fill The Waters In The Seas, And Let Fowl Multiply In The Earth. And The Evening And The Morning Were The Fifth Day. And God Said, Let The Earth Bring Forth The Living Creature After His Kind, Cattle, And Creeping Thing, And Beast Of The Earth After His Kind: And It Was So. And God Made The Beast Of The Earth After His Kind, And Cattle After Their Kind, And Every Thing That Creepeth Upon The Earth After His Kind: And God Saw That It Was Good. And God Said, Let Us Make Man In Our Image, After Our Likeness: And Let Them Have Dominion Over The Fish Of The Sea, And Over The Fowl Of The Air, And Over The Cattle, And Over All The Earth, And Over Every Creeping Thing That Creepeth Upon The Earth. So God Created Man In His Own Image, In The Image Of God Created He Him; Male And Female Created He Them.


John 17:17-26 
Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth. As Thou Hast Sent Me Into The World, Even So Have I Also Sent Them Into The World. And For Their Sakes I Sanctify Myself, That They Also Might Be Sanctified Through The Truth. Neither Pray I For These Alone, But For Them Also Which Shall Believe On Me Through Their Word; That They All May Be One; As Thou, Father, Art In Me, And I In Thee, That They Also May Be One In Us: That The World May Believe That Thou Hast Sent Me. And The Glory Which Thou Gavest Me I Have Given Them; That They May Be One, Even As We Are One: I In Them, And Thou In Me, That They May Be Made Perfect In One; And That The World May Know That Thou Hast Sent Me, And Hast Loved Them, As Thou Hast Loved Me. Father, I Will That They Also, Whom Thou Hast Given Me, Be With Me Where I Am; That They May Behold My Glory, Which Thou Hast Given Me: For Thou Lovedst Me Before The Foundation Of The World. O Righteous Father, The World Hath Not Known Thee: But I Have Known Thee, And These Have Known That Thou Hast Sent Me. And I Have Declared Unto Them Thy Name, And Will Declare It: That The Love Wherewith Thou Hast Loved Me May Be In Them, And I In Them.

Revelation 1:8 
I Am Alpha And Omega, The Beginning And The Ending, Saith The Lord, Which Is, And Which Was, And Which Is To Come, The Almighty.

Hebrews 5:9 
And Being Made Perfect, He Became The Author Of Eternal Salvation Unto All Them That Obey Him;

Acts 4:12 
Neither Is There Salvation In Any Other: For There Is None Other Name Under Heaven Given Among Men, Whereby We Must Be Saved.

John 17:3 
And This Is Life Eternal, That They Might Know Thee The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom Thou Hast Sent.

The Same Bible That Teaches Us About Creation Teaches Us About Jesus Christ And His Perfect Sacrifice For Our Perfect Salvation, To Live In A Perfect Heaven Eternally With The One And Only True Living God!

GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD GLORY, SAVE IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD GLORY, SAVE IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

1 Corinthians 1:17-31 
For Christ Sent Me Not To Baptize, But To Preach The Gospel: Not With Wisdom Of Words, Lest The Cross Of Christ Should Be Made Of None Effect. For The Preaching Of The Cross Is To Them That Perish Foolishness; But Unto Us Which Are Saved It Is The Power Of God. For It Is Written, I Will Destroy The Wisdom Of The Wise, And Will Bring To Nothing The Understanding Of The Prudent. Where Is The Wise? Where Is The Scribe? Where Is The Disputer Of This World? Hath Not God Made Foolish The Wisdom Of This World? For After That In The Wisdom Of God The World By Wisdom Knew Not God, It Pleased God By The Foolishness Of Preaching To Save Them That Believe. For The Jews Require A Sign, And The Greeks Seek After Wisdom: But We Preach Christ Crucified, Unto The Jews A Stumblingblock, And Unto The Greeks Foolishness; But Unto Them Which Are Called, Both Jews And Greeks, Christ The Power Of God, And The Wisdom Of God. Because The Foolishness Of God Is Wiser Than Men; And The Weakness Of God Is Stronger Than Men. For Ye See Your Calling, Brethren, How That Not Many Wise Men After The Flesh, Not Many Mighty, Not Many Noble, Are Called: But God Hath Chosen The Foolish Things Of The World To Confound The Wise; And God Hath Chosen The Weak Things Of The World To Confound The Things Which Are Mighty; And Base Things Of The World, And Things Which Are Despised, Hath God Chosen, Yea, And Things Which Are Not, To Bring To Nought Things That Are: That No Flesh Should Glory In His Presence. But Of Him Are Ye In Christ Jesus, Who Of God Is Made Unto Us Wisdom, And Righteousness, And Sanctification, And Redemption: That, According As It Is Written, He That Glorieth, Let Him Glory In The Lord.

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.

WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

Acts 17:23-33 
For As I Passed By, And Beheld Your Devotions, I Found An Altar With This Inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom Therefore Ye Ignorantly Worship, Him Declare I Unto You. God That Made The World And All Things Therein, Seeing That He Is Lord Of Heaven And Earth, Dwelleth Not In Temples Made With Hands; Neither Is Worshipped With Men's Hands, As Though He Needed Any Thing, Seeing He Giveth To All Life, And Breath, And All Things; And Hath Made Of One Blood All Nations Of Men For To Dwell On All The Face Of The Earth, And Hath Determined The Times Before Appointed, And The Bounds Of Their Habitation; That They Should Seek The Lord, If Haply They Might Feel After Him, And Find Him, Though He Be Not Far From Every One Of Us: For In Him We Live, And Move, And Have Our Being; As Certain Also Of Your Own Poets Have Said, For We Are Also His Offspring. 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. And The Times Of This Ignorance God Winked At; But Now Commandeth All Men Every Where To Repent: Because He Hath Appointed A Day, In The Which He Will Judge The World In Righteousness By That Man Whom He Hath Ordained; Whereof He Hath Given Assurance Unto All Men, In That He Hath Raised Him From The Dead. And When They Heard Of The Resurrection Of The Dead, Some Mocked: And Others Said, We Will Hear Thee Again Of This Matter. So Paul Departed From Among Them.

Colossians 2:2-23 
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.

John 4:21-24 
Jesus Saith Unto Her, Woman, Believe Me, The Hour Cometh, When Ye Shall Neither In This Mountain, Nor Yet At Jerusalem, Worship The Father. Ye Worship Ye Know Not What: We Know What We Worship: For Salvation Is Of The Jews. 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.

People Still Want To Worship God Ignorantly; They Would Rather Have A Gold Statue Instead Of Worshiping In Spirit And In Truth. 

The Father Seeketh Such To Worship Him. God Is A Spirit: And They That Worship Him Must WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.

FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS

FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS

1 Timothy 6:5-12 
Perverse Disputings Of Men Of Corrupt Minds, And Destitute Of The Truth, Supposing That Gain Is Godliness: From Such Withdraw Thyself. But Godliness With Contentment Is Great Gain. For We Brought Nothing Into This World, And It Is Certain We Can Carry Nothing Out. And Having Food And Raiment Let Us Be Therewith Content. But They That Will Be Rich Fall Into Temptation And A Snare, And Into Many Foolish And Hurtful Lusts, Which Drown Men In Destruction And Perdition. For The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil: Which While Some Coveted After, They Have Erred From The Faith, And Pierced Themselves Through With Many Sorrows. But Thou, O Man Of God, Flee These Things; And FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, GODLINESS, FAITH, LOVE, PATIENCE, MEEKNESS. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, Whereunto Thou Art Also Called, And Hast Professed A Good Profession Before Many Witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:10 
For The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil: Which While Some Coveted After, They Have Erred From The Faith, And Pierced Themselves Through With Many Sorrows.

I Have Heard People Say That They Will Vote For Their Pocketbook Instead Of Abortion And Other Immoral Issues. I Cannot Help But Ask, How's That Working Out For You Now? We Have So Many Immoral And Corrupt People Running Our Country, So Much So That Now People Are Asking,  What Has Happened To The United States Of America That I Grew Up In? The Love Of Money Will Cause You To Vote And Choose An Immoral Person Rather Than Be The One Who Says No; I Would Rather Be Broke For A Righteous Cause Than Rich For An Immoral One. 

Pray Before You Cast Your Vote; America Needs You Now More Than Ever.

CHRISTIANIZE

CHRISTIANIZE 

What All We Have We Christianized That Is Ungodly? 
Christianize: To Take Over Or Adapt In The Name Of Christianity.

Jeremiah 10:1-4 
Hear Ye The Word Which The Lord Speaketh Unto You, O House Of Israel: Thus Saith The Lord, Learn Not The Way Of The Heathen, And Be Not Dismayed At The Signs Of Heaven; For The Heathen Are Dismayed At Them.
For The Customs Of The People Are Vain: For One Cutteth A Tree Out Of The Forest, The Work Of The Hands Of The Workman, With The Axe. They Deck It With Silver And With Gold; They Fasten It With Nails And With Hammers, That It Move Not.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE CHRISTIANIZED. 

According To Historians, Mardi Gras Dates Back Thousands Of Years To Boisterous Pagan Celebrations Of Spring And Fertility In Rome. When Christianity Arrived During The Medieval Years, Religious Leaders Decided To Incorporate The Popular Local Traditions Of These Pagan Celebrations (Think Parades And Lots Of Eating And Drinking) Into Traditions And Became A Prelude To Lent — The 40 Days Of Fasting And Sacrifice Between Ash Wednesday And Easter Sunday. The French Later Dubbed The Tuesday Before Ash Wednesday "Mardi Gras," Which Translates To "Fat Tuesday."
Mardi Gras' Origins Can Be Traced Back To Types Of Ancient Pagan Festivals And Medieval European Traditions Of Saturnalia And Lupercalia.

So The Sum Of Mardi Gras Is Eating And Drinking Yourself Into A Coma And Then Go Into Lent And To Give It Up? But After Lent, You Can Go Back To Normal, So In Reality, You Haven't Given Up Anything. So, Everything Is Supposed To Be In The Name Of Christianity, But In Truth, Nothing Is.

Look At Easter 
All The Fun Things About Easter Are Pagan. Bunnies Are A Leftover From The Pagan Festival Of Eostre, A Great Northern Goddess Whose Symbol Was A Rabbit Or Hare. Exchange Of Eggs Is An Ancient Custom, Celebrated By Many Cultures.

What About Christmas? 

The Origins Of Christmas Can Be Traced Back To The Ancient Roman And Norse Civilizations. In Fact, 25th December Was Not Even Jesus’ Date Of Birth. The Early Christians Appropriated What Was Originally A Pagan Holiday Because It Was Convenient. Before That, The People Of Ancient Europe Had Celebrations Of The Pagan God Saturn Or Even Odin At The End Of December To Mark The Shortest Day Of The Year. Indeed, Many Of The Christmas Traditions We Have Today Come From These Ancient Festivals. Examples Of This Include Kissing Under The Mistletoe And Decorating Trees. 

The Origins Of Christmas Are Complex And Intertwined With Various Cultural And Religious Traditions, Including Some Pagan Elements. While Christmas Is Primarily Celebrated As A Christian Holiday Commemorating The Birth Of Jesus Christ, It Coincides With The Winter Solstice And Incorporates Elements From Pre-christian Traditions.

Who Were The Pagans?
Who Were The Pagans Exactly? ‘paganism’ Was Originally A Word Used By The Early Christians To Refer To The Polytheistic Romans. What It Essentially Means Is ‘non-christian.’ Their Multiple Gods Were Classed Within The Single Category Of ‘pagan Gods’.

In The First Few Centuries Of Christianity, The Christians Wanted To Spread Their Religion Around Europe. But They Were Also Quite Fascinated By The Religions That Already Existed. They Knew That It Would Be Difficult For Ordinary People To Completely Divorce Themselves From Everything They Had Always Known. This Included The Celebrations For The Winter Solstice. They Had To Give The People Something That Was Familiar And Known. Given That Jesus Was Born Around The Same Time, It Was Easy Enough To Incorporate Existing Traditions Into The Celebration Of The Birth Of Jesus.

The Romans Had Another Festival Around The Same Time – Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (Birth Of The Invincible Sun). This Was Dedicated To The Iranian Sun God, Mithra. In Pre-zoroastrian Iran, Mithra Was The God Of The Sun, Justice, And War. He Was Heavily Associated With The Roman Sun God Sol. Emperor Aurelian Declared That 25th December Was The Birthday Of The ‘unconquerable Sun’ And It Was A Festival Mostly Celebrated By Upper-class Male Romans. In Fact, Mithraism Was A Special And Select Cult. It Is Interesting That Christians Decided To Celebrate The Birth Of Jesus On This Very Day. What Is Also Interesting Is That One Of The Epithets Of Jesus Is The ‘sun Of Justice.’

Another Important Pagan Holiday During The Winter Solstice Was The Birthday Of The Greek God Dionysus. The Greek God Of Wine Was Celebrated With Wild Revelry, Feasts, Drunkenness, And Merrymaking Over 12 Days. His Birthday Was Supposed To Be On 25th December. The Festival Was Called Bacchanalia And Was One Marked By Wildness And Excess. In Finland, The Sun Goddess Beiwe Was Celebrated During This Time. She Was Said To Ride On A Sleigh Made Of Reindeer Bones And Pulled By A White Reindeer. Perhaps She Was A Precursor To Santa Claus?

The Slavic People Too Had Their Own Winter Solstice Festivals. Karachun Is A Pagan Holiday That Is Celebrated In Honor Of The Black God Chernoborg. Very Similar To Samhain And Halloween, This Was The Day When All Slavic Gods Associated With Darkness And Decay Were Most Potent. However, The White God Or The Sun God Is Resurrected The Next Day And Triumphs Again. Ancient Slavs Lit Fires In Cemeteries And Crossroads On This Day To Keep Their Loved Ones Warm. Feasts Were Organized To Honor The Dead And Feed Them. These Practices Have Merged With Modern Christmas Traditions.

What Does The Christmas Tree Symbolize?
A Huge Part Of A Modern Christmas Is Decorating Christmas Trees. Modern Christmas Trees Probably Originated In Germany, During The Renaissance. The Lighting Of Candles On Evergreen Trees In Order To Celebrate Christmas Is Sometimes Traced Back To The Protestant Reformer Martin Luther. However, The Christmas Tree Has Much More Ancient Predecessors.

The Romans Used To Hang Small Metal Ornaments On Trees Outside Their Home During Saturnalia. Each Ornament Had Some Kind Of Association With A God Or Even The Family’s Patron Saint. The Roman Poet Catallus, In His Poem Marriage Of Peleus And Thetis, Spoke Of The Gods Decorating The Home Of Peleus With Evergreen Trees Like Laurel And Cypress. Evergreen Trees And Wreaths And Garlands Made Of Them Were Significant To The Egyptians, Hebrews, And Chinese. They Represented Eternal Life.

For The Early Germanic Tribes, Decorating Trees With Fruits And Candles In Honor Of Odin Was A Common Practice. Trees Were Very Important In Norse Mythology Because Of Yggdrasil. The Vikings And Saxons Worshiped Trees. Early Germanic Folktales About Saint Boniface And Donar’s Oak Talk Of How An Evergreen Tree Grew In The Place Of The Felled Oak. The Triangular Shape Was Supposed To Be Reminiscent Of The Trinity And An Indication To Look Toward Heaven. Thus, We Can Conclude That The Christmas Tradition Of Setting Up A Tree Is Rooted In Ancient Pagan Beliefs.

The Significance Of Holly And Mistletoe. 
Holly And Mistletoe Were Both Sacred Plants For The Pagans. Kissing Under The Mistletoe And Decorating Homes With Holly Were Originally Pagan Traditions. Now, They Have Become Such An Intrinsic Part Of Christmas That It Would Be Difficult To Imagine The Holiday Without Them.

During Saturnalia, The Romans Would Exchange Wreaths Made Of Holly For Good Luck. Holly Was A Holy Plant That Was Associated With Saturn, The God Of Agriculture. The Early Christians Were Lucky That The Festival Of Saturnalia Almost Coincided With Jesus’ Birth. Since They Were Often Heavily Persecuted, Saturnalia Gave Them A Cover To Celebrate Their Own Festival Without Being Discovered. Thus, They Began To Take On This Pagan Custom And Decorated Their Homes With Holly To Make It Look Like They Were Celebrating Christmas. This Made It Easier For Them To Recognize Each Other In The Midst Of Other Communities. They Continued The Practice Even After Paganism Disappeared From Europe.

Kissing Under Mistletoe, One Of The Most Popular Christmas Traditions Also Has Pagan Roots. The Ancient Norse, Celts And Their Druids Were All Obsessed With Mistletoe To A Certain Extent. Also, The Plant Was Considered Sacred To Saturn And The Ancient Romans Would Perform Fertility Rituals Under It. In Other Words, They Had Sex Under Mistletoe Plants For The Sake Of A Bountiful Harvest. 

However, The Origins Of A Santa-like Figure Are Much Older. Odin, The Much-loved King Of The Norse Gods, Was A Bearded Old Man Who Was Believed To Leave Gifts For Children. He Is Usually Depicted As An Old Man With A Long White Beard. He Also Had An Eight-legged Horse Called Sleipnir. Odin Would Ride Sleipnir Across The Sky Just As Santa Does With His Reindeer. Young Children Would Fill Their Booties With Straw And Carrots During The Winter And Leave Them By The Door For Sleipnir To Feed On. They Would Be Rewarded With Little Gifts In Their Booties. This Was The True Beginning Of Santa Claus And The Stockings That We Leave Out On Christmas Eve.

When Was Christmas First Celebrated?

The First Celebrations Of Christmas Started In The 4th Century Ce After An Official Date Was Declared. Believers Attended Church, Exchanged Christmas Gifts, And Celebrated In A Rather Drunken, Carnival-like Atmosphere. It Was Certainly Not A Sedate Or Dignified Kind Of Festival And People Of All Social Classes Came Together To Celebrate.

It Was Only In The 17th Century, With The Wave Of Puritan Religious Reforms, That This Kind Of Christmas Celebration Changed. In England, Oliver Cromwell And His Government Canceled Christmas In 1645 To Remove Decadence. The Festival Was Reinstated By Charles Ii When He Took The Throne But The Puritans Always Looked Down On The Holiday. This Was Especially True Of The Orthodox Pilgrims Who Emigrated To The United States In The Early 17th Century. Only In The 19th Century Did The Americans Begin To Embrace Christmas, And It Did Not Become A Federal Holiday In America Until 1870.

I Know This Is Just Words To Some People, But I Had To Share. 

BEFORE WE CELEBRATE, WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT AND WHY WE DO. 

Colossians 2:8
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.

WITH ALL THINE HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIGHT

WITH ALL THINE HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIGHT

Exodus 20:1-17 
And God Spake All These Words, Saying, I Am The Lord Thy God, Which Have Brought Thee Out Of The Land Of Egypt, Out Of The House Of Bondage. Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me. Thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image, Or Any Likeness Of Any Thing That Is In Heaven Above, Or That Is In The Earth Beneath, Or That Is In The Water Under The Earth: Thou Shalt Not Bow Down Thyself To Them, Nor Serve Them: For I The Lord Thy God Am A Jealous God, Visiting The Iniquity Of The Fathers Upon The Children Unto The Third And Fourth Generation Of Them That Hate Me; And Shewing Mercy Unto Thousands Of Them That Love Me, And Keep My Commandments. Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The Lord Thy God In Vain; For The Lord Will Not Hold Him Guiltless That Taketh His Name In Vain. Remember The Sabbath Day, To Keep It Holy. Six Days Shalt Thou Labour, And Do All Thy Work: But The Seventh Day Is The Sabbath Of The Lord Thy God: In It Thou Shalt Not Do Any Work, Thou, Nor Thy Son, Nor Thy Daughter, Thy Manservant, Nor Thy Maidservant, Nor Thy Cattle, Nor Thy Stranger That Is Within Thy Gates: For In Six Days The Lord Made Heaven And Earth, The Sea, And All That In Them Is, And Rested The Seventh Day: Wherefore The Lord Blessed The Sabbath Day, And Hallowed It. Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother: That Thy Days May Be Long Upon The Land Which The Lord Thy God Giveth Thee. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery. Thou Shalt Not Steal. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbour's House, Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbour's Wife, Nor His Manservant, Nor His Maidservant, Nor His Ox, Nor His Ass, Nor Any Thing That Is Thy Neighbour's.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 
And Thou Shalt Love The Lord Thy God With All Thine Heart, And With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Might. And These Words, Which I Command Thee This Day, Shall Be In Thine Heart: And Thou Shalt Teach Them Diligently Unto Thy Children, And Shalt Talk Of Them When Thou Sittest In Thine House, And When Thou Walkest By The Way, And When Thou Liest Down, And When Thou Risest Up. And Thou Shalt Bind Them For A Sign Upon Thine Hand, And They Shall Be As Frontlets Between Thine Eyes. And Thou Shalt Write Them Upon The Posts Of Thy House, And On Thy Gates.

Galatians 4:21 
Tell Me, Ye That Desire To Be Under The Law, Do Ye Not Hear The Law?

James 2:10 
For Whosoever Shall Keep The Whole Law, And Yet Offend In One Point, He Is Guilty Of All.

1 Timothy 1:7-10 
Desiring To Be Teachers Of The Law; Understanding Neither What They Say, Nor Whereof They Affirm. But We Know That The Law Is Good, If A Man Use It Lawfully; Knowing This, That The Law Is Not Made For A Righteous Man, But For The Lawless And Disobedient, For The Ungodly And For Sinners, For Unholy And Profane, For Murderers Of Fathers And Murderers Of Mothers, For Manslayers, For Whoremongers, For Them That Defile Themselves With Mankind, For Menstealers, For Liars, For Perjured Persons, And If There Be Any Other Thing That Is Contrary To Sound Doctrine;

Philippians 3:9 
And Be Found In Him, Not Having Mine Own Righteousness, Which Is Of The Law, But That Which Is Through The Faith Of Christ, The Righteousness Which Is Of God By Faith:

Romans 3:19-28 
Now We Know That What Things Soever The Law Saith, It Saith To Them Who Are Under The Law: That Every Mouth May Be Stopped, And All The World May Become Guilty Before God. 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: For All Have Sinned, And Come Short Of The Glory Of God; Being Justified Freely By His Grace Through The Redemption That Is In Christ Jesus: Whom God Hath Set Forth To Be A Propitiation Through Faith In His Blood, To Declare His Righteousness For The Remission Of Sins That Are Past, Through The Forbearance Of God; To Declare, I Say, At This Time His Righteousness: That He Might Be Just, And The Justifier Of Him Which Believeth In Jesus. Where Is Boasting Then? It Is Excluded. By What Law? Of Works? Nay: But By The Law Of Faith. Therefore We Conclude That A Man Is Justified By Faith Without The Deeds Of The Law.

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.

Romans 8:1-4,9 
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. 
[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.

Can You Really Love God With All Thine Heart, And With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Might? Do You Want To Trust Yourself To Be Righteous Enough To Please God? That Is Exactly What You Are Doing When You Say You Need To Keep The Law.  
Now We Know That What Things Soever The Law Saith, It Saith To Them Who Are Under The Law: That Every Mouth May Be Stopped, And All The World May Become Guilty Before God. Knowing This, That The Law Is Not Made For A Righteous Man, But For The Lawless And Disobedient, For The Ungodly And For Sinners, For Unholy And Profane, For Murderers Of Fathers And Murderers Of Mothers, For Manslayers, For Whoremongers, For Them That Defile Themselves With Mankind, For Menstealers, For Liars, For Perjured Persons, And If There Be Any Other Thing That Is Contrary To Sound Doctrine. He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us, That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him. The Law Of God Says Everyone Is Guilty Before God, And Faith In Jesus Christ Says There Is Therefore, Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus. Why Would Anyone Want To Always Live In Fear Of God Instead Of A Life Of Thankfulness?
Why Would Anyone Take Eternal Life On Their Own Selves When Jesus Christ Did It For Us? 

Galatians 3:19-27 
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. For As Many Of You As Have Been Baptized Into Christ Have Put On Christ.

Romans 6:14 
For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace.

Ephesians 2:8-9 
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.

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

THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN

THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN

John 1:4-5 
In Him Was Life; And THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. And The Light Shineth In Darkness; And The Darkness Comprehended It Not.

John 3:19-21 
And This Is The Condemnation, That Light Is Come Into The World, And Men Loved Darkness Rather Than Light, Because Their Deeds Were Evil. For Every One That Doeth Evil Hateth The Light, Neither Cometh To The Light, Lest His Deeds Should Be Reproved. But He That Doeth Truth Cometh To The Light, That His Deeds May Be Made Manifest, That They Are Wrought In God.

John 8:12 
Then Spake Jesus Again Unto Them, Saying, I Am The Light Of The World: He That Followeth Me Shall Not Walk In Darkness, But Shall Have THE LIGHT OF LIFE.

Matthew 5:14-16 
Ye Are The Light Of The World. A City That Is Set On An Hill Cannot Be Hid. Neither Do Men Light A Candle, And Put It Under A Bushel, But On A Candlestick; And It Giveth Light Unto All That Are In The House. Let Your Light So Shine Before Men, That They May See Your Good Works, And Glorify Your Father Which Is In Heaven.

The Church Has The Light Of Life, 
The World Is As Dark And Dead As The Church Is Bright. 
The World Is Dark; Christians Needs To Be THE LIGHT OF LIFE That We Are Called To Be.

NUGGETS OF GOLD

NUGGETS OF GOLD

When The Lord Gives An Insight Into A Particular Scripture, Some People Call Them Nuggets Of Gold. We Can Get So Fixated On This Nugget Trying To Refine It That We Miss The Mountain It Is In. Just Because You Receive A Nugget Of Gold In One Book Of The Bible Does Not Mean You Neglect The Others. There Is More Than Just One Nugget In The Mountain Of Gold.

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT

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.

Romans 8:4,9 
That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. 
[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.

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.

Romans 8:2 
For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death.

1 John 3:5-9 
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 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.

So That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us
He Hath Made Him To Be Sin For Us. Jesus Christ, Who Knew No Sin, Became Sin, That We Might Be Made The Righteousness Of God In Him.

You Must Be Born-Again Of The Spirit To Be A Christian. 

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT!!!

THE SPIRIT OF LIFE DWELL IN YOU

THE SPIRIT OF LIFE DWELL IN YOU

Romans 8:1-39 
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. For I Reckon That The Sufferings Of This Present Time Are Not Worthy To Be Compared With The Glory Which Shall Be Revealed In Us. For The Earnest Expectation Of The Creature Waiteth For The Manifestation Of The Sons Of God. For The Creature Was Made Subject To Vanity, Not Willingly, But By Reason Of Him Who Hath Subjected The Same In Hope, Because The Creature Itself Also Shall Be Delivered From The Bondage Of Corruption Into The Glorious Liberty Of The Children Of God. For We Know That The Whole Creation Groaneth And Travaileth In Pain Together Until Now. And Not Only They, But Ourselves Also, Which Have The Firstfruits Of The Spirit, Even We Ourselves Groan Within Ourselves, Waiting For The Adoption, To Wit, The Redemption Of Our Body. For We Are Saved By Hope: But Hope That Is Seen Is Not Hope: For What A Man Seeth, Why Doth He Yet Hope For? But If We Hope For That We See Not, Then Do We With Patience Wait For It. Likewise The Spirit Also Helpeth Our Infirmities: For We Know Not What We Should Pray For As We Ought: But The Spirit Itself Maketh Intercession For Us With Groanings Which Cannot Be Uttered. And He That Searcheth The Hearts Knoweth What Is The Mind Of The Spirit, Because He Maketh Intercession For The Saints According To The Will Of God. And We Know That All Things Work Together For Good To Them That Love God, To Them Who Are The Called According To His Purpose. For Whom He Did Foreknow, He Also Did Predestinate To Be Conformed To The Image Of His Son, That He Might Be The Firstborn Among Many Brethren. Moreover Whom He Did Predestinate, Them He Also Called: And Whom He Called, Them He Also Justified: And Whom He Justified, Them He Also Glorified. What Shall We Then Say To These Things? If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? He That Spared Not His Own Son, But Delivered Him Up For Us All, How Shall He Not With Him Also Freely Give Us All Things? Who Shall Lay Any Thing To The Charge Of God's Elect? It Is God That Justifieth. 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? As It Is Written, For Thy Sake We Are Killed All The Day Long; We Are Accounted As Sheep For The Slaughter. Nay, In All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Him That Loved Us. 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.

DOES THE SPIRIT OF LIFE DWELL IN YOU? 
ARE YOU IN CHRIST JESUS? 
DOES THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. 
NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.

ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST

ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDS, 
A NEW GARMENT, A NEW BOTTLE, A NEW, A NEW CREATURE, NEW MAN, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD, PURE, RIGHTEOUS, CANNOT SIN, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW!

Luke 5:36-38 
And He Spake Also A Parable Unto Them; No Man Putteth A Piece Of A NEW GARMENT Upon An Old; If Otherwise, Then Both The New Maketh A Rent, And The Piece That Was Taken Out Of The New Agreeth Not With The Old. And No Man Putteth New Wine Into Old Bottles; Else The New Wine Will Burst The Bottles, And Be Spilled, And The Bottles Shall Perish. But New Wine Must Be Put Into NEW BOTTLES; And Both Are Preserved.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 
Therefore If ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, He Is A NEW CREATURE: Old Things Are Passed Away; Behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. And All Things Are Of God, Who Hath Reconciled Us To Himself By Jesus Christ, And Hath Given To Us The Ministry Of Reconciliation; To Wit, That God Was In Christ, Reconciling The World Unto Himself, Not Imputing Their Trespasses Unto Them; And Hath Committed Unto Us The Word Of Reconciliation. Now Then We Are Ambassadors For Christ, As Though God Did Beseech You By Us: We Pray You In Christ's Stead, Be Ye Reconciled To God. 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.

Ephesians 4:17-24 
This I Say Therefore, And Testify In The Lord, That Ye Henceforth Walk Not As Other Gentiles Walk, In The Vanity Of Their Mind, Having The Understanding Darkened, Being Alienated From The Life Of God Through The Ignorance That Is In Them, Because Of The Blindness Of Their Heart: Who Being Past Feeling Have Given Themselves Over Unto Lasciviousness, To Work All Uncleanness With Greediness. But Ye Have Not So Learned Christ; If So Be That Ye Have Heard Him, And Have Been Taught By Him, As The Truth Is In Jesus: That Ye Put Off Concerning The Former Conversation The Old Man, Which Is Corrupt According To The Deceitful Lusts; And Be Renewed In The Spirit Of Your Mind; And That Ye Put On THE NEW MAN, Which After God Is Created In Righteousness And True Holiness.

Luke 5:39 
No Man Also Having Drunk Old Wine Straightway Desireth New: For He Saith, The Old Is Better.

Luke 9:62 
And Jesus Said Unto Him, No Man, Having Put His Hand To The Plough, And Looking Back, Is Fit For The Kingdom Of God.

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.

1 John 3:1-10 
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. In This The Children Of God Are Manifest, And The Children Of The Devil: Whosoever Doeth Not Righteousness Is Not Of God, Neither He That Loveth Not His Brother.

Luke 17:20-21 
And When He Was Demanded Of The Pharisees, When The Kingdom Of God Should Come, He Answered Them And Said, The Kingdom Of God Cometh Not With Observation: Neither Shall They Say, Lo Here! Or, Lo There! For, Behold, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You.

Romans 14:17-18 
For The Kingdom Of God Is Not Meat And Drink; But Righteousness, And Peace, And Joy In The Holy Ghost. For He That In These Things Serveth Christ Is Acceptable To God, And Approved Of Men.

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.

Hebrews 4:9-16 
There Remaineth Therefore A Rest To The People Of God. For He That Is Entered Into His Rest, He Also Hath Ceased From His Own Works, As God Did From His. Let Us Labour Therefore To Enter Into That Rest, Lest Any Man Fall After The Same Example Of Unbelief. For The Word Of God Is Quick, And Powerful, And Sharper Than Any Twoedged Sword, Piercing Even To The Dividing Asunder Of Soul And Spirit, And Of The Joints And Marrow, And Is A Discerner Of The Thoughts And Intents Of The Heart. Neither Is There Any Creature That Is Not Manifest In His Sight: But All Things Are Naked And Opened Unto The Eyes Of Him With Whom We Have To Do. Seeing Then That We Have A Great High Priest, That Is Passed Into The Heavens, Jesus The Son Of God, Let Us Hold Fast Our Profession. For We Have Not An High Priest Which Cannot Be Touched With The Feeling Of Our Infirmities; But Was In All Points Tempted Like As We Are, Yet Without Sin. Let Us Therefore Come Boldly Unto The Throne Of Grace, That We May Obtain Mercy, And Find Grace To Help In Time Of Need.

Romans 8:9-17 
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.

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You! Is Jesus Christ King Of Your Heart?

PLEASE, KING JESUS, BE RULER OF MY HEART TO THE GLORY OF ABBA, FATHER! LEAD ME BY YOUR SPIRIT!!!

What Is Elon Musk’s Neuralink Brain Chip, Now Being Tested On Humans?
Musk Said The First Person To Receive A Neuralink Brain-chip Implant Is Recovering.

Neuralink Is Competing With Synchron, Which Implanted Its First Brain Chip In A Human In July 2022 [File: Benjamin Fanjoy/Ap Photo]
Published On 31 Jan 2024
31 Jan 2024
A Year After Being Cleared For The Test, Billionaire Elon Musk’s Neuralink Has Implanted Its Wireless Brain Chip In A Human For The First Time.

Musk Announced That The Patient Received The Implant On Sunday And “is Recovering Well”. The Device Is Meant To Have Several Applications, From Restoring Motor Functionality Within People To Enabling A Brain-computer Interface. There Was No Independent Verification Of Musk’s Claims, And Neuralink Did Not Offer Too Many Details.

Musk Has Touted Neuralink As The Future Of Technology And Medicine, But Ethical Concerns Have Been Raised Around The Chip And Its Testing.

Here Is What You Need To Know About Neuralink And Its Human Testing.

What Is Neuralink, And What Does It Do?
Neuralink Is A Brain-chip Startup Founded By Musk In 2016.

A Device The Size Of A Coin Is Surgically Implanted In The Skull, With Ultra-thin Wires Going Into The Brain And Developing A Brain-computer Interface (Bci).

The Disk Would Register Brain Activity And Send It Over To A Device, Such As Smartphone, Through A Common Bluetooth Connection.

The First Product, Called Telepathy, Would Allow People To Control Their Phones Or Computers “just By Thinking”, Said Musk.

Planting The Chip In The Part Of The Brain That Controls Motor Function Would Also Enable People To Overcome Neurological Disorders, The Company Claims

The Lobes

Frontal Lobes
The Frontal Lobes Are The Largest Of The Four Lobes Responsible For Many Different Functions. These Include Motor Skills Such As Voluntary Movement, Speech, Intellectual And Behavioral Functions. The Areas That Produce Movement In Parts Of The Body Are Found In The Primary Motor Cortex Or Precentral Gyrus. The Prefrontal Cortex Plays An Important Part In Memory, Intelligence, Concentration, Temper And Personality.

The Frontal Lobes Are Located Directly Behind The Forehead.

Does Any Of This Sound Familiar? Let's See.

Revelation 13:11-18 
And I Beheld Another Beast Coming Up Out Of The Earth; And He Had Two Horns Like A Lamb, And He Spake As A Dragon. And He Exerciseth All The Power Of The First Beast Before Him, And Causeth The Earth And Them Which Dwell Therein To Worship The First Beast, Whose Deadly Wound Was Healed. And He Doeth Great Wonders, So That He Maketh Fire Come Down From Heaven On The Earth In The Sight Of Men, And Deceiveth Them That Dwell On The Earth By The Means Of Those Miracles Which He Had Power To Do In The Sight Of The Beast; Saying To Them That Dwell On The Earth, That They Should Make An Image To The Beast, Which Had The Wound By A Sword, And Did Live. And He Had Power To Give Life Unto The Image Of The Beast, That The Image Of The Beast Should Both Speak, And Cause That As Many As Would Not Worship The Image Of The Beast Should Be Killed. And He Causeth All, Both Small And Great, Rich And Poor, Free And Bond, To Receive A Mark In Their Right Hand, Or In Their FOREHEADS: And That No Man Might Buy Or Sell, Save He That Had The Mark, Or The Name Of The Beast, Or The Number Of His Name. Here Is Wisdom. Let Him That Hath Understanding Count The Number Of The Beast: For It Is The Number Of A Man; And His Number Is Six Hundred Threescore And Six.

Revelation 16:2 
And The First Went, And Poured Out His Vial Upon The Earth; And There Fell A Noisome And Grievous Sore Upon The Men Which Had The Mark Of The Beast, And Upon Them Which Worshipped His Image.

Revelation 13:8 
AND ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM, WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

1 Corinthians 2:1-14 
And I, Brethren, When I Came To You, Came Not With Excellency Of Speech Or Of Wisdom, Declaring Unto You The Testimony Of God. For I Determined Not To Know Any Thing Among You, Save Jesus Christ, And Him Crucified. And I Was With You In Weakness, And In Fear, And In Much Trembling. And My Speech And My Preaching Was Not With Enticing Words Of Man's Wisdom, But In Demonstration Of The Spirit And Of Power: That Your Faith Should Not Stand In The Wisdom Of Men, But In The Power Of God. Howbeit We Speak Wisdom Among Them That Are Perfect: Yet Not The Wisdom Of This World, Nor Of The Princes Of This World, That Come To Nought: But We Speak The Wisdom Of God In A Mystery, Even The Hidden Wisdom, Which God Ordained Before The World Unto Our Glory: Which None Of The Princes Of This World Knew: For Had They Known It, They Would Not Have Crucified The Lord Of Glory. But As It Is Written, Eye Hath Not Seen, Nor Ear Heard, Neither Have Entered Into The Heart Of Man, The Things Which God Hath Prepared For Them That Love Him. But God Hath Revealed Them Unto Us By His Spirit: For The Spirit Searcheth All Things, Yea, The Deep Things Of God. For What Man Knoweth The Things Of A Man, Save The Spirit Of Man Which Is In Him? Even So The Things Of God Knoweth No Man, But The Spirit Of God. 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.

1 Corinthians 14:18 
I Thank My God, I Speak With Tongues More Than Ye All:

2 Corinthians 11:6 
But Though I Be Rude In Speech, Yet Not In Knowledge; But We Have Been Throughly Made Manifest Among You In All Things.

2 Corinthians 3:12 
Seeing Then That We Have Such Hope, We Use Great Plainness Of Speech:

2 Corinthians 12:6-10 
For Though I Would Desire To Glory, I Shall Not Be A Fool; For I Will Say The Truth: But Now I Forbear, Lest Any Man Should Think Of Me Above That Which He Seeth Me To Be, Or That He Heareth Of Me. And Lest I Should Be Exalted Above Measure Through The Abundance Of The Revelations, There Was Given To Me A Thorn In The Flesh, The Messenger Of Satan To Buffet Me, Lest I Should Be Exalted Above Measure. For This Thing I Besought The Lord Thrice, That It Might Depart From Me. And He Said Unto Me, My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee: For My Strength Is Made Perfect In Weakness. Most Gladly Therefore Will I Rather Glory In My Infirmities, That The Power Of Christ May Rest Upon Me. Therefore I Take Pleasure In Infirmities, In Reproaches, In Necessities, In Persecutions, In Distresses For Christ's Sake: For When I Am Weak, Then Am I Strong.

Galatians 4:13-18 
Ye Know How Through Infirmity Of The Flesh I Preached The Gospel Unto You At The First. And My Temptation Which Was In My Flesh Ye Despised Not, Nor Rejected; But Received Me As An Angel Of God, Even As Christ Jesus. Where Is Then The Blessedness Ye Spake Of? For I Bear You Record, That, If It Had Been Possible, Ye Would Have Plucked Out Your Own Eyes, And Have Given Them To Me. Am I Therefore Become Your Enemy, Because I Tell You The Truth? They Zealously Affect You, But Not Well; Yea, They Would Exclude You, That Ye Might Affect Them. But It Is Good To Be Zealously Affected Always In A Good Thing, And Not Only When I Am Present With You.

2 Corinthians 11:13-33 
For Such Are False Apostles, Deceitful Workers, Transforming Themselves Into The Apostles Of Christ. And No Marvel; For Satan Himself Is Transformed Into An Angel Of Light. Therefore It Is No Great Thing If His Ministers Also Be Transformed As The Ministers Of Righteousness; Whose End Shall Be According To Their Works. I Say Again, Let No Man Think Me A Fool; If Otherwise, Yet As A Fool Receive Me, That I May Boast Myself A Little. That Which I Speak, I Speak It Not After The Lord, But As It Were Foolishly, In This Confidence Of Boasting. Seeing That Many Glory After The Flesh, I Will Glory Also. For Ye Suffer Fools Gladly, Seeing Ye Yourselves Are Wise. For Ye Suffer, If A Man Bring You Into Bondage, If A Man Devour You, If A Man Take Of You, If A Man Exalt Himself, If A Man Smite You On The Face. I Speak As Concerning Reproach, As Though We Had Been Weak. Howbeit Whereinsoever Any Is Bold, (I Speak Foolishly,) I Am Bold Also. 
Are They Hebrews? So Am I. 
Are They Israelites? So Am I. 
Are They The Seed Of Abraham? So Am I. 
Are They Ministers Of Christ? (I Speak As A Fool) I Am More; In Labours More Abundant, 
In Stripes Above Measure, 
In Prisons More Frequent, In Deaths Oft. 
Of The Jews Five Times Received I Forty Stripes Save One. 
Thrice Was I Beaten With Rods, 
Once Was I Stoned, 
Thrice I Suffered Shipwreck, A Night And A Day I Have Been In The Deep; In Journeyings Often, In Perils Of Waters, 
In Perils Of Robbers, 
In Perils By Mine Own Countrymen, In Perils By The Heathen, In Perils In The City, In Perils In The Wilderness, In Perils In The Sea, In Perils Among False Brethren; In Weariness And Painfulness, In Watchings Often, 
In Hunger And Thirst, In Fastings Often, 
In Cold And Nakedness. 
Beside Those Things That Are Without, That Which Cometh Upon Me Daily, The Care Of All The Churches. 
Who Is Weak, And I Am Not Weak? Who Is Offended, And I Burn Not? If I Must Needs Glory, I Will Glory Of The Things Which Concern Mine Infirmities. The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Which Is Blessed For Evermore, Knoweth That I Lie Not. In Damascus The Governor Under Aretas The King Kept The City Of The Damascenes With A Garrison, Desirous To Apprehend Me: And Through A Window In A Basket Was I Let Down By The Wall, And Escaped His Hands.

Philippians 3:4-5 
Though I Might Also Have Confidence In The Flesh. If Any Other Man Thinketh That He Hath Whereof He Might Trust In The Flesh, I More: Circumcised The Eighth Day, Of The Stock Of Israel, Of The Tribe Of Benjamin, An Hebrew Of The Hebrews; As Touching The Law, A Pharisee;

1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 
But We Were Gentle Among You, Even As A Nurse Cherisheth Her Children: So Being Affectionately Desirous Of You, We Were Willing To Have Imparted Unto You, Not The Gospel Of God Only, But Also Our Own Souls, Because Ye Were Dear Unto Us. For Ye Remember, Brethren, Our Labour And Travail: For Labouring Night And Day, Because We Would Not Be Chargeable Unto Any Of You, We Preached Unto You The Gospel Of God. Ye Are Witnesses, And God Also, How Holily And Justly And Unblameably We Behaved Ourselves Among You That Believe: As Ye Know How We Exhorted And Comforted And Charged Every One Of You, As A Father Doth His Children, That Ye Would Walk Worthy Of God, Who Hath Called You Unto His Kingdom And Glory.

Rude In Speech, Plainness Of Speech,
For Though I Would Desire To Glory, I Shall Not Be A Fool; For I Will Say The Truth: But Now I Forbear,
I Would Desire To Glory, I Shall Not Be A Fool, 
There Was Given To Me A Thorn In The Flesh, The Messenger Of Satan To Buffet Me, Lest I Should Be Exalted Above Measure. Where Is Then The Blessedness Ye Spake Of? For I Bear You Record, That, If It Had Been Possible, Ye Would Have Plucked Out Your Own Eyes, And Have Given Them To Me.
Am I Therefore Become Your Enemy, Because I Tell You The Truth?

In All Of These Scriptures, Paul Was Speaking To People He Established In The Faith. What He Is Saying Is That He Came To Them Knowing Nothing Except Christ Jesus And Him Crucified. Paul Was Honest With Them About His Faults, And He Was Real Always In Their Presence; They Loved Him For It. What Changed? Others Came In And "They Zealously Affect You, But Not Well." Paul Never Spoke In A Way That Made Himself Look Higher. Paul Could Have Used His Education Because He Was A Very Educated Man, A Pharisee, Which Was Of The Law. Paul Said, "Lest I Should Be Exalted Above Measure Through The Abundance Of The Revelations," He Said, " I Speak With Tongues More Than Ye All." Paul Could Have Boasted About His Relationship With Jesus Christ, But He Always Pointed Others To The Cross Of Christ. 
Paul Had Experienced More Than All Of Them Put Together; He Could Have Used His Intelligence And Influenced Them To Be In Error, But He Cared For Them As If They Were His Children. He Said That He "Imparted Unto You, Not The Gospel Of God Only, But Also Our Own Souls." Paul Could Have Been A Smiling, Flashy, Smooth Motivational Speaker, But He Was Real. 

BE REAL AND KNOW REAL. 

Christians Need To Read The Bible For Themselves And Know When, Who, And What Can And Will Deceive And Cause You To Turn From The Truth, Jesus Christ And Him Crucified.

AGED WOMAN, TEACH

AGED WOMAN, TEACH 

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.

2 Timothy 3:1-7 
This Know Also, That In The Last Days Perilous Times Shall Come. For Men Shall Be Lovers Of Their Own Selves, Covetous, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient To Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, Trucebreakers, False Accusers, Incontinent, Fierce, Despisers Of Those That Are Good, Traitors, Heady, Highminded, Lovers Of Pleasures More Than Lovers Of God; Having A Form Of Godliness, But Denying The Power Thereof: From Such Turn Away. For Of This Sort Are They Which Creep Into Houses, And Lead Captive Silly Women Laden With Sins, Led Away With Divers Lusts, Ever Learning, And Never Able To Come To The Knowledge Of The Truth.

Titus 2:1-5 
But Speak Thou The Things Which Become Sound Doctrine: That The Aged Men Be Sober, Grave, Temperate, Sound In Faith, In Charity, In Patience. THE AGED WOMEN Likewise, That They BE IN BEHAVIOUR AS BECOMETH HOLINESS, NOT FALSE ACCUSERS, NOT GIVEN TO MUCH WINE, TEACHERS OF GOOD THINGS; THAT THEY MAY TEACH THE YOUNG WOMEN TO BE SOBER, TO LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS, TO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, TO BE DISCREET, CHASTE, KEEPERS AT HOME, GOOD, OBEDIENT TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS, THAT THE WORD OF GOD BE NOT BLASPHEMED.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 
I Charge Thee Therefore Before God, And The Lord Jesus Christ, Who Shall Judge The Quick And The Dead At His Appearing And His Kingdom; Preach The Word; Be Instant In Season, Out Of Season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort With All Longsuffering And Doctrine. For The Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine; But After Their Own Lusts Shall They Heap To Themselves Teachers, Having Itching Ears; And They Shall Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth, And Shall Be Turned Unto Fables. But Watch Thou In All Things, Endure Afflictions, Do The Work Of An Evangelist, Make Full Proof Of Thy Ministry.

Matthew 28:19-20 
Go Ye Therefore, And Teach All Nations, Baptizing Them In The Name Of The Father, And Of The Son, And Of The Holy Ghost: Teaching Them To Observe All Things Whatsoever I Have Commanded You: And, Lo, I Am With You Alway, Even Unto The End Of The World. Amen.

THE BIBLE WARNS US THAT THERE WILL COME A TIME THAT PEOPLE WILL BE WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION; THAT TIME IS NOW!
This Know Also, That In The Last Days Perilous Times Shall Come. We Are To Preach The Word; Be Instant In Season, Out Of Season; Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort With All Longsuffering And Doctrine. For The Time Will Come When They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine; But After Their Own Lusts Shall They Heap To Themselves Teachers, Having Itching Ears; And They Shall Turn Away Their Ears From The Truth, And Shall Be Turned Unto Fables. THE AGED WOMEN ARE TO BE TEACHERS OF GOOD THINGS; THAT THEY MAY TEACH THE YOUNG WOMEN TO BE SOBER, TO LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS, TO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, TO BE DISCREET, CHASTE, KEEPERS AT HOME, GOOD, OBEDIENT TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS, THAT THE WORD OF GOD BE NOT BLASPHEMED. Be In Behaviour As Becometh Holiness. Do The Work Of An Evangelist, Make Full Proof Of Thy Ministry, So That The Word Of God Be Not Blasphemed.

The Word does not say Aged Women should be workers outside the home and ignore their husbands, children, or homes. The Word Of God gives us explicit directions for our priorities; they are God, husband, children, and home, which are the order of our affections ordained by God. We are so busy doing the insignificant that we are not doing what God called us to do. 
We are trying to prove to the world that we are good workers and are being slothful in our true calling. Our husbands cook and care for themselves, and our children are in their rooms on YouTube, Snapchat, and TikTok. Children have no genuine affection or interaction with their parents or friends anymore. 
We are letting our homes run themselves and don't know we have real problems. Our children cannot carry on a natural conversation with anyone; they cannot look other people in the eyes. Teachers cannot teach them because they have learned all they want to know from social media. 
People are rude and unaffectionate, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, just as The Bible warns, but what is worse, these are Christian homes I am talking about, not the world. Grown men in their thirties watch TV and play games instead of interacting with their wives and children. Aged Women, it is up to you to take control of your calling, take the phones and TV out of the center of your family's lives, and ban them if you have to. Some will say they cannot make their husbands give up their TVs and phones; ok then, do what you can for your children, don't just give up. God Told Us In His Word that Aged Woman Are To Be A Teacher, so do what is best for your family. BE THE AGED WOMAN GOD CALLED YOU TO BE; BE THE TEACHER.
Interact with your family, have Bible study, play games, clean, cook, do outside activities,  whatever makes your family a family. Children learn by example, do you want your daughter to be like you? Are we the examples that will carry The Calling Of God to the next generation? 
Something is terribly wrong in our world, and we don't even know it; I will say that most people don't care. Where Is The Natural Affection? Where Is The Aged Woman? Is The Aged Godly Woman Is Missing In Your Home? 
AGED WOMAN, You Are Needed, Do Not Be Missing In Action And Given Up Unto Vile Affections, Your Family May Feel The Wrath Of God Because Of It.
